5 Pankaj Tripathi characters that deserve their very own spin-offs
In the previous couple of years, Pankaj Tripathi has emerged as one of the vital promising actors. Not simply in movies, Tripathi has made a mark within the internet area as effectively and merging the 2 mediums, he’ll quickly be seen within the lead position in Satish Kaushik’s Kaagaz, set to premiere on ZEE5 on January 7.
Tripathi’s credible performances have usually reminded the viewers that it’s not the size of the position, however its execution that makes a long-lasting impression.
Speaking of his credible performances, listed here are 5 characters performed by Pankaj Tripathi that deserve their very own spin-offs.
1. Gangs of Wasseypur’s Sultan
Before Gangs of Wasseypur launched, Pankaj Tripathi had appeared in just a few commercials, TV reveals and flicks. However, it was his position as Sultan within the Anurag Kashyap directorial that pushed him into the limelight. Sultan Qureshi is the top of the Qureshi clan as they struggle towards Sardar Khan to extend their dominance over Wasseypur. Sultan is the one who in the end kills Sardar Khan, making him fairly a pivotal character within the bigger scheme of the story. Even although we noticed Sultan over many years on this movie, a narrative round his life as a butcher would make for an attention-grabbing spin-off.
2. Stree’s Rudra
Although Pankaj Tripathi had a cameo within the movie, he walked away with all of the glory. Tripathi’s Rudra is the one one who is aware of about Stree’s backstory, and he narrates it in an awesome comedic means. It could be enjoyable to look at his character because the protagonist within the sequel. His relationship with the unseen ‘Shama’ was one of many highlights of Stree and might be explored extra within the sequel.
3. Masaan’s Sadhya
Sadhya is one other memorable character performed by Pankaj Tripathi. Sadhya meets Richa Chadha’s Devi as they begin working subsequent to one another on the railway station. We find out about Sadhya’s life in a scene the place he shares his dessert with Devi and talks about his easy house life together with his father. A slice-of-life story across the mundane but relatable lifetime of Sadhya would make for an attention-grabbing watch.
4. Anaarkali of Aarah’s Rangeela
In Anaarkali of Aarah, Pankaj Tripathi performs Rangeela, Anaarkali’s ever-supportive confidante who needs to protect her from the evils of society. While Anaarkali of Aarah adopted Anaarkali’s journey, it could be attention-grabbing to know extra in regards to the journey of Rangeela in a spin-off.
5. Nil Battey Sannata’s Principal Srivastava
This was the primary position the place the viewers bought to see the comical aspect of Pankaj Tripathi. In Nil Battey Sannata, Tripathi performs a strict Maths trainer who comes throughout as hilarious in his many scenes on the college the place he’s educating Swara’s Chanda. A comedy sequence that revolves across the college run by Srivastava could be actually entertaining.

Report from Shipyard Feb 2016
Both the Maple Leaf and the Swell are at our annual shipyard haul-out on the shores of the Fraser River.
This winter, captains Greg Shea and Tavish Campbell have been managing a major piece of scheduled work on the Maple Leaf that includes replacing her stern and inspecting her masts.
This work included pulling the masts and rigging down, inspecting everything and repainting the masts. Ashley and Matt have also been helping this winter.
The blocked timber stern had served us well over 30 years and it was time for a pro-active rebuild.
Over the last three months, the Maple Leaf crew alongside the shipwrights from Commodore’s Boats pulled the old stern apart and rebuild with new. In some areas they confirmed it was definitely time for this work to be done, and in other areas they were impressed by the quality of the original build and how things were still in good shape.
Of course in rebuilding the timbered stern, many of the stanchions and many of the curved hull planks were also replaced in beautiful Douglas fir.
“Maple Leaf Adventures keeps their boats ship-shape,” says Bo Spiller of Commodore’s Boats. “Kevin wanted everything done to the highest quality with no shortcuts.”
We are confident that Maple Leaf at 112 years old is in the best shape of her life.
The shipwrights who help us maintain the ships are the team at Commodore’s Boats, lead by Bo Spiller. Ten years ago Bo led a team of 20 people to rebuild the Swell , and has been providing shipwright services for the Maple Leaf for the last 15 years.
His team of Terry, Dwight, and Sunny are talented shipwrights. The skill and experience required to rebuild the Maple Leaf‘s stern is very high – from steaming and bending planks to very complex shaping and fitting of the blocks for the timbered stern.
Now the team of Terese, Lindsey, Grace, Ashley, and James MacKinnon are joining them for other regular ship maintenance, along with Dave, Jordon, Alex, Jeff, Miranda, and Dan on the Swell. Feeding them all is chef Steve – an important member of the team. And overseeing it all are Kevin and operations manager Given.
We’ll share the work we’re doing on the Swell in a later report.

Finding Tradition
Before reading this essay, it might be helpful to take a look at these passages from Isaiah: 5:11-23, 28:1-7, 29:9-15
What exactly is knowledge? The Malbim, commenting on Isaiah 11:2, wrote that De’ah (“דעה“) is the knowledge a person acquires through the direct experience of his senses or through the use of proofs developed through logical methodology. The knowledge about which this essay is concerned is made up of things that we know – or at least, that we should know – with certainty. We are especially concerned with those things that we need in order to make intelligent choices concerning our personal and Torah lives – both being deeply complex areas of activity.
The final redemption, Isaiah teaches, will “uncover the eyes of the blind” while “the ears of the deaf shall open” (35:5 – see also Deut. 30:6). Only then will we enjoy unrestrained de’ah. In the meantime, our exile experience is colored by at least some level of intellectual and emotional numbness. Our job until the redemption must therefore involve expending significant effort to fight this numbness. The simple awareness of our state can also be humbling, leaving us with a healthy skepticism of our own assumptions and conclusions.
Those are our goals. The rest of this essay will try to describe how we can get there; Isaiah’s tried and tested program.
Clarity: What it takes to get it
Justice is a determinant of clarity. Or, in other words, through the establishment of just and fair practices, a society provides its citizens with greater access to both personal and communal clarity.
“Behold, for (the purpose of) righteousness is a king crowned, and ministers rule for justice…The heart of the hasty will (as a result) understand to know, the tongue of the confused will (therefore) quickly speak with clarity.” (32:1,4)
Somehow, a generation that willingly allows itself to be governed by leaders who are just will enjoy easier access to more productive thinking. By contrast (as we will later see), the absence of justice invites corrosive and corrupting flattery (see verse 5).
More than for any inborn inability to understand or even for willful neglect of our own education, Isaiah bitterly criticizes us for our laziness and lack of intensity.
“Rabbi Avahu said: Jerusalem was certainly destroyed (at least partly) because they failed to recite the Shema in the morning and evening, as it says: ‘Woe! Those who rise in the morning and chase intoxicating drinks; who tarry in the evening, wine inflaming them. They have harp and lyre, timbrel and flute and wine as their drink and to the work of God they do not gaze; the acts of His Hands they do not see.'” (TB Shabbos 119b and Isaiah 5:11-12)
What is it about these of Isaiah’s words that drew the Talmud’s attention specifically to the recitation of Shema? Rashi explains:
“The verse concludes ‘and to the work of God they do not gaze’ – they didn’t (use the opportunity of reciting the Shema) to associate God’s name (i.e., acknowledge His influence) on all creations.”
The Sefer Hachinuch (#420) wrote that the Torah commanded us to recite Shema twice daily (as least partly) in order to institutionalize regular periods of intense focus on God and our duties to Him. The proper minimal performance of this particular activity requires that for a few moments at least, all extraneous thoughts be pushed aside and that one’s emotional energy be targeted exclusively on the words and their meanings. This, wrote the Sefer Hachinuch, is to force us, at least once in a while, to use all of our intellectual energy for a Torah-task…thereby protecting us from the risk of complacency and superficiality that our immersion in common daily tasks poses.
The Torah, in other words, wants us fully engaged in life and not just going through the motions.
As we will see, there are many areas of common, everyday Jewish life (both ancient and very modern) in which intensity is chronically lacking. Perhaps, however, Isaiah’s main target is drunkenness.
It must be understood that Torah law does not forbid the consumption of alcohol. Even drunkenness is technically allowed as long as one carefully maintains control over himself and doesn’t engage in inappropriate and irresponsible behavior. Nevertheless, drunkenness is the analogy Isaiah chooses to illustrate a more general area of weakness in the Jewish people. Besides the verses quoted above, we find others, including:
“Woe! They are heroes in drinking wine; men of valor in mixing intoxicants” (5:22)
“Woe! The drunkards of Efraim are the crown of arrogance; a wilting blossom is his glory; wounds of drunkenness [from having stumbled and injured themselves in a drunken stupor] adorn the perfumed heads.”(28:1)
“So too these err through wine; priest and prophet stray through intoxicating drinks. They err through intoxicating drinks, are destroyed by wine; they err from intoxicating drinks, err in seeing; (they) corrupt justice.” (28:7)
Wine and music. Neither need be in any way contradictory to a Torah life. What then is Isaiah criticizing? Could it not be deep focus represented by the “rising in the morning” and the “tarrying at evening”? The many musical instruments (or, put differently, the all-absorbing search for the perfect sound and transformative mood) and the drunkenness as source of excitement (it, more than anything, “inflames” a man’s mind)? The elevation of drinking to a sport or even a noble pursuit all of its own in which heroes, able to “hold their liquor” are canonized?
In other words, when wine and music become life’s focus and animating force rather than just tools for some greater good, then we have badly lost our way. More to the point: what is truly important to us is no longer moral growth and Torah knowledge, but utterly profane pursuits. We may still attend a regular Torah class and pay lip service to our Torah duties, but our hearts are elsewhere.
So drink and song are – at best – useful tools, but it is on God’s Torah that our most meaningful time and attention should be focused. Yet the Talmud uses this same passage (5:2) to promote another enterprise entirely: applied science.
“Rabbi Shimon ben Pazi said in the name of Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi quoting bar Kappara, anyone who knows how to perform calendrical calculations (literally: to calculate seasons and astronomical movements) and doesn’t, is referred to by the words ‘and to the work of God they do not gaze; the acts of His Hands they do not see.'”
It doesn’t seem quite likely that bar Kappara’s concern was in maintaining a stable calendar, for that only requires a few individual specialists in each generation. The fact that bar Kappara demands the compliance of everyone with the intellectual ability, suggests that the study itself has some intrinsic and even universal benefit. In fact, the subsequent words of the Talmud provide a clue as to just what this benefit is:
“Rabbi Shmuel bar Nachmeini said in the name of Rabbi Yonason, how do we know that a man is commanded to perform calendrical calculations? As is says: ‘You should guard and keep them (the commandments) for it is your wisdom and understanding in the eyes of the nations.’ (Deut. 4:6)”
Which would seem to suggest that widespread understanding of the more complex astronomical sciences among Jews (with the primary goal, of course, of more precise mitzvah observance) will lead to increased respect for God’s Torah among the world’s nations (for, they will reason, if this Torah was indeed not a wondrous and beautiful thing, why else should such a wise people focus so much of their intellectual energy on its observance?).
Astronomy, then, is an appropriate focus of our intense attention. Its study will inspire a greater respect for Torah. But are musicology and oenology (the scientific study of the biology and chemistry of wine) not also demanding disciplines? Do they not also have their place in Torah life (concerning the appropriate use of both music and wine in the Temple service, for instance)? So why are they automatically relegated to minor roles in our intellectual and emotional lives while astronomy is considered primary?
Perhaps the difference lies in the greater social context of each pursuit: few astronomers are more prone to drunkenness as a direct result of their particular study and for fewer still does the discipline lead to wasted nights of dance and song. In other words, their particular work more readily allows for objective focus and thus will more likely lead to an appropriate sense of religious inspiration. On the other hand, while no one can deny the value of the honest study of wine or music, still, given the higher contextual risk, the sages could hardly in good conscience require its pursuit.
One should also note that Isaiah specifically criticizes song and drink when pursued together. Either one by itself could possibly provide a more positive experience.
Finally, one should consider that producing legions of trained and passionate musicologists and oenologists – as useful as they may indeed be – will be unlikely to enhance the nations’ respect for Torah.
In any case, we can now reasonably conclude that, besides complacency, Isaiah’s system discourages intense, distracting focus on activities that are primarily mundane while promoting (besides Torah study and thoughtful observance of the commandments) certain pursuits that hold the potential for a broader benefit.
One can only imagine what the prophet might have said about our community’s current obsessions with consumerism and the constant demand for ever-higher standards in clothes, food, opulent home furnishings and weddings. He would probably also have shown little opposition to efforts to reduce our growing dependence on communication technologies.
Clarity: what gets in the way
Moral Confusion
When a society honors its drunkards1, misers2 and criminals3 more than scholars and role models of virtue and self-sacrifice, its sense of direction is skewed. Without any moral frame of reference, how well prepared are the members of such a community to objectively assess their ethical choices?
“From the time that ‘their hearts follow after their pleasures’ (Ez. 33:31)4 became rampant, ‘(those who call) evil, good and good, evil’ (Isaiah 5:20) also increased. From the time that ‘(those who call) evil, good and good, evil’ became rampant, ‘Woe…woe’ (Isaiah, throughout chapter 5) also increased.” (TB Sotah 47b)
In other words, losing its inner drive for righteousness, weakens a society’s ability to intuitively judge between good and evil5 – which leads in turn to the kind of behavior that invites Divine wrath.
If people seek to justify their rejection of God’s message – creating, for instance, “alternatives” to Torah principles and commandments (28:10 – see Rashi) and imagining themselves beyond the reach of death and disaster (28:15) – who then will remain sober and clear-headed enough to provide intelligent moral guidance?
Using a similar way of understanding 28:10, Rabbi Hirsch6 identifies Isaiah’s criticism of Jews who minimize the value and consequences of Torah commandments, and
“…even worse, they [believed the commandments] were there to make life difficult for them, צו לצו, creating obstacles and hindrances at every step, to cause Israel to lag behind all other nations.”
If a person convinces himself that God’s Torah has no far-reaching impact and, in the final analysis, is little more than an impediment to “getting on in life”, then he has effectively created for himself the intellectual framework of apostasy. Hardly a blueprint for successful objectivity.
Superficial Observance
“Deliberate and be amazed, engage in cries and cry out; be drunk but not from wine, stagger but not from intoxicants. For God has poured over you a spirit of deep sleep, He has squeezed tight your eyes, your prophets and your visionary leaders He has covered…And God said: ‘for this people has approached (to serve Me) with its mouth and with its lips they honor Me. But its heart is far from Me; their fear of Me is (that of) men acting to satisfy some habit (מִצְוַת אֲנָשִׁים מְלֻמָּדָה). Therefore, I will again astound this people with wonders, and the wisdom of scholars will be lost, and the understanding of the wise will be hidden.’ Woe are those who employ deep efforts to hide their true intentions and as they hide their actions they say ‘who sees and who knows?'” (29:9-10, 13-15)
Clarity of mind – like success in understanding Torah – depends on God’s good will and assistance. Without sincerity, even a generation that busily serves God will not only lack clarity, but their confusion will be so great as to appear to come from God Himself.7 The result is a spiritual blindness and a consequent frantic search for philosophies and superstitious rituals to fill the disturbing new intellectual hole that’s left behind. The rush to “hide” ones neglect of Torah responsibilities even from oneself, will, in turn, lead to yet more blindness – often taking the form of largely superficial observance of the Torah’s laws.
Clarity: why we must have it
Our clarity (דאה), it seems, is what makes us human:
“And Rabbi Elazer said: it is forbidden to offer compassion to any man who has no de’ah, as it says: ‘For this is not a nation of understanding therefore their Maker will not be compassionate and their Founder will not be gracious’ (Isaiah 27:11).” (TB Sanhedrin 92a)
The Maharsha points out an apparent contradiction between this passage and the well-known (if often-ignored) duty to show compassion to all God’s creatures. Are those who lack clarity any worse than the humblest of creations for whom God desires good? In fact, wrote the Maharsha, they are worse: we must be generous to those of God’s creations who have not corrupted the basic good qualities with which they were made. However, someone who has chosen to deviate from his inborn, straightforward nature has indeed lost some of his Divine image. Clear thinking, then, is at least in theory available to everyone – but it’s ours to lose.
Our clarity, it seems, is what lies at the foundation of our national existence:
“Rabbi Yochanan said: anyone who drinks (alcohol) to (the accompaniment of) four types of (musical instruments) brings five (types of) punishment to the world as it says: ‘Woe! Those who rise in the morning and chase intoxicating drinks…’ (Isaiah 5:11) What does (Isaiah) then say? ‘Therefore, exile My people for (their) lack of knowledge…” (TB Sotah 48a)
“Rabbi Avahu said, Jerusalem was certainly destroyed [at least partly] because they failed to recite the Shema in the morning and evening, as it says: ‘Woe! Those who rise in the morning and chase intoxicating drinks; who tarry in the evening, wine inflaming them. They have harp and lyre, timbrel and flute and wine as their drink and to the work of God they do not gaze; the acts of His Hands they do not see.’ (Isaiah 5:11-12)“ (TB Shabbos 119b)
“And Rabbi Elazer said: any man who has no deah will, in the end, be exiled, as it says: ‘Therefore, exile My people for (their) lack of knowledge'” (TB Sanhedrin 92a)
Our clarity, it seems, is an irreplaceable component of our nation’s basic social integrity. The word “Woe” (“הוֹי”) which precedes many of the prophet’s criticisms of the Jews – including that of 5:11 mentioned above – is, according to Rashi, symptomatic of a society’s deep vulnerability:
“The word ‘ashrei’ is repeated 22 times in Psalms (as an indication of the merits of) those who fulfill the Torah’s laws, and Isaiah used the word ‘Woe’ 22 times (regarding) evil men.” (Rashi to Isaiah 5:8).
Finally, our clarity, it seems, is an absolute prerequisite for growth and repentance:
“Why did (the sages) place ‘Teshuva’ (the fifth blessing of the weekday amidah and the one that concerns repentance) following ‘Bina‘ (the fourth blessing, in which we pray for understanding)? Because it says: ”(The heart of this nation is fat and its ears are heavy and its eyes are covered, lest it should see with its eyes and its ears should hear) and its heart will understand and he will return and be healed.’ (Isaiah 6:10)” (TB Megila 17b)
232:5
4That is, rather than eagerly seeking the guidance of God and His prophets, some people followed their own base desires and even mocked those “foolish” enough to remain loyal to the Torah.
5This moral blindness can sometimes even be willful. See Isaiah 6:10
6Collected Writings of Rabbi Samson Rafael Hirsch Vol IV, 88
7See Radak to 29:10

New York City Setlist
By hahninator, September 14, 2010 in Previous Show Discussion
Biggiee2180@aol.com
What did the "few really smelly ass people" do?
Haha nothing really. It was just one of those things where you couldn't ignore it and it really got to you whenever you inhaled. Not like I have a problem with anyone but it was just awful smelling that.
flozuki
Ah, i see^^
Sounds like my way to work...every morning in a train full of drunks, lol
@mandarinmustang
Why not, wouldn´t be the first time they play a non-album track ;-)

Man for the Setlists
Dsp! Nice! Only problem could be to have the dsp if you weren' t at the show.
Or is it possible to share this NY Dsp ? With the last dsp' s it was not allowed.
Since a DSP is official material there is no way to share it here at LPL!!
The setlist looks good to me, but only 2 HT and 3 Meteora songs OK, this was an ATS release show, but ...
They willfor sure add like 5-6 songs more to the setlist and include some sick songs from HT and Meteora!
Like FTI, Crawling, BM, APFMH and how was that one called again ... oh yeah Papercut we need them all back to the set and maybe With You as well
nice setlist was hoping for more ATS songs but that will do for now. and YAY for DSP
DogFan_LP
lol What? Didn't they play Crawling :/ ?
I hope they're going to play it later on their tour.
TnkA
all i hope is that in December they don't close with WID
OSC, Faint or BIO are good closers, not WID
Blackened_Deather
i have a few questions to those guys who were there at the concert:
1. was there any moshing at the concert or just bouncing, clapping and singing?
2. was this a regular set or a special set?
3. this is actually related to the second question, can i hope for more songs and more playing time for my concert in stuttgart?
Valentitix
I don't know if it's mention somewhere but some video of this show are on Youtube...
Chill out a little bit. This was a small club show due to the fact a new album was released. I'm 100 percent sure they'll add these classics (POA, Crawling, SIB, LFY etc.) to the set on their actual tour.
Well, sounds like an amazing show. Wish they would have chosen One Step Closer as the final song, What I've Done isn't a really good choice. But I doubt the'll do this again on the upcoming tour. Maybe they were just testing some things
bigbadzosch
for the first real show of this year it was great. i mean remember when mtm was released they played 16 songs at the webster hall and later 19. so i guess they will put some more songs to the setlist when the tour starts .....it's almost a month till that so they will rehearse some more cool stuff

I uploaded a lot of professional taken pictures from the show (also in HQ) and from the queue at the outside of the venue.

Awesome show.... Got to talk to Fiore for a bit, saw Pooch, but didnt realize it was him until Mark texted me back too late and got home at 4AM to be in for work at 6... I'm fried, but it was so well worth it..
I even got to meet brad mike and chester briefly after the show. I got my moneys worth.
WTH.... And you didn't call me?? Edited September 15, 2010 by SpikeMinoda

don't know if it was ever mentioned, but Brad played a small drum kit on "The Catalyst". just a little something to add to the show page.
also, just briefly skimming some of the after-show replies, when are fans finally going to get over them NOT playing certain songs from the first 2 albums? is Linkin Park supposed to play the same songs for the rest of their careers? i think playing "One Step Closer" and "In The End" were probably the most appropriate for the show and i don't see them adding anymore from Hybrid Theory to their future setlists, with the exception of "Crawling".
i hope that if they do go the 3 rotating setlist route again while touring A Thousand Suns that the songs that get rotated in and out of the setlists are the older songs as opposed to the new songs. i didn't like how the songs that changed from concert to concert during the MTM tours were the songs from MTM. when Radiohead toured In Rainbows, they played all 10 songs off the album, plus 1 or 2 from the bonus disc, and changed the setlists from each night by rotating in and out older songs. that's how a band should tour a new album IMO.

also interesting to note, brad's playing keyboard on waiting for the end

Just post them - don't want to register lol
The show was good for the most part, but I really was expecting way more. So disappointing at the lack of the talking Mike usually does at a show that wasn't really a big deal but, the show was short especially for it being mainly LPU members no special songs set list was missing so much and closing with What I've Done is awful. I am really surprised they didn't play crawling. Should of played a few more songs from the new album at least. I dunno I was kind of disappointed.
Mike is lipsynching on this. What in the world.
I quite like this set, particularly the fact that they've included Given Up and No More Sorrow rather than Shadow of the bleedin' Day. Having said that, What I've Done is a pretty shitty closer (better than Breaking the Habit though...)
I predict future setlists will also include When They Come For Me, Blackout, Crawling and Points of Authority, and possibly P5ng Me A*wy if what has been said is true.

i have some huge complaints about how this show was organized. some of us waited LONG hours in line only to be let in to discover...best buy employees were let in WAY before us. the front of the pit was already full by the time i got in there and i was like the 3rd person in line. these people werent even linkin park fans. FUCK that. i ended up against the gate anyway after about 3 minutes into the show. wretches and kings was the highlight of the show for me. actually, the highlight would be chester coming down into the pit, calling my name, grabbing my hand and asking me "how the FUCK have you been man?!"
lparcshinoda
are you totally sure ?
Don't underestimate technology. There are tons of weird-ass mics/vocoders/talk-boxes out there that can make you sound like anything.
I think it's pretty obvious that he pretends to sing through a vocal filter, but it's actually just a recording.
Mark pointed it out not because he sounds like a girl, but because it's totally identical to the studio recording.
We could be wrong, of course. Need to A-B this live version and the studio version to be completely sure.
This. I'll compare to the CD version but I am 99.9% sure this is lip synched. Mike is pretending to sing it when he's not.
Qwerty18
Yes, it sounds identical to the album version, almost sure. And I don't understand why Mike is doing that since there's no shame to only use sample of this female voice. It would make way more sense than faking a performance by him singing like a female...
Anyway, I loved the videos of WAK, seems like it will become a killer live track (as we assumed).

Other then a few really smelly ass people in the crowd and assholes banging into and knocking over girls the show was pretty much perfect.
Amazing show! And yeah it got crazy real fast during Bleed It Out, the poor girls in front of me were being crushed. Props to the girl with her entire arm in cast btw for roughing it out in the pit. I'm pretty sure she got Chester to sign it. :-)
Here's video of Wretches & Kings I got. Tried recording Waiting For The End too, but one of the event guys at the front of the stage climbed up and told me and the person next to me no recording....

This is not slapstick humor, but fantasy with a subtle humor or fantasy sprinkled with delight.
Roald Dahl – James and the Giant Peach
Okay everything he wrote is delicious. But James and the Giant Peach is my favorite. All of the insect characters are so endearing. Witty dialog, kind and thoughtful James and those insects all play a part in a fantastic adventure. Not thrilled with the movie version.
Diana Wynne Jones – The Darklord of Derkholm
This go around, after the publication of immensely successful fantasy novels, the author is writing a bit of satire. Poking fun at everything fantasy. Great romp! Tourists sign up for a vacation through fantasy land. The sequel is The Year of the Griffin. Equally as good.
Edward Eager – Half Magic, Magic by the Lake, and many others
I read Edward Eager’s books in the 1970s. First published in the 1950s, the books are available in paperback and ebook and some titles still in hardback. A 50th anniversary edition of Half Magic was published in 2004 with an introduction by Jack Gantos. Mr. Gantos writes, “There are some books that when read in childhood last a lifetime in the reader’s imagination, books so good that growing old doesn’t diminish the luster of their memory. “ Wonderfully put, Mr. Gantos. Great for the upper elementary and middle school set. Plenty good for adults. I re-read from time to time.
Cornelia Funke – Dragon Rider
Best known for her Inkheart series and The Thief Lord, Dragon Rider is a stand out book. It looks long, but that is because the book is thick and squatty. This is a dragon fantasy thrill ride. Firedrake heeds a warning to return to the ancestral homes or face discovery and extermination by humans. A smart-alecky brownie, and a human boy who serves as his rider, accompany him on his mission. Evil Nettlebrand wants to stop him. There is quite a bit to getting to the destination, most important is finding the map, drawn by a cartographer who is a rat. I listened to this story on an audiobook read by Brendan Frasier. I normally don’t listen to audiobooks as I am not a good listener. But as a fan of Brendan Frasier, who does an outstanding job, as good as the esteemed Jim Dale (see Harry Potter), this book made driving during a couple of road trips rather pleasant.
Ruth Stiles Gannett – My Father’s Dragon, Elmer and the Dragon, The Dragons of Blueland
This is another of those childhood books that I smile when I pull it off the shelves again. It won the Newbery Honor book when it was published back in 1948. The timeless story is still in print and all elementary students should be urged to read it. A young boy uses cunning to save a baby dragon. Lovely story.
William Goldman – The Princess Bride
Amazing book. Every fantasy fan must read this. Goldman wrote the screenplay for the movie so it is equally as excellent. Example of brilliant dialog.
Eva Ibbotson – Island of the Aunts, The Secret of Platform 13
Both of these books left me feeling serene, like all is right in the world. They are both gentle stories with lovely, caring adults. It gets a bit tiring when book after book casts the adults as the evil ones. Two of Ibbotson’s other books, Journey to the River Sea and The Star of Kazan are not fantasy but equally as good, if not better. The CIP lists adventure and historical fiction, but not so much historical fiction as adventure. Perhaps they go in a “really good books that just don’t fit into a category” category.
Tove Jansson – Finn Family Moomintroll
I happened upon these books at a book store years ago, read one, then bought all I could find in the series. I can’t really describe these charming books adequately. They are quirky. Written in Finnish during the 1940s, translated into several languages, immensely popular in Europe and have a following in the US. I was shopping in a quirky novelty shop in Cambridge, MA, and found Moomintroll merchandise. Look on YouTube for some Moomintroll animated clips. The books are much better.
Sarah Prineas – The Magic Thief, Lost, Found
Delightful fantasy with so many enjoyable elements. Good vs Evil, orphan with special abilities, royalty, humor. This isn’t heavy, dark, or depressing – all of the characters are heart- warming including Nevery, the aloof but quietly caring wizard in charge of Conn.
Angie Sage – Septimus Heap series: Magyk, Flyte, Physik, Queste, Syren, Darke
and another to come . . . I have placed Magyk on the school reading list twice now. Each time, the book was immensely popular with students. When I snagged a galley of Darke at the Texas Library Conference two years ago, the students devoured the book, passed it to the next student and asked when the book after Darke will come out. Patience! That was April ’10, and they were clamoring for #7 when #6 hadn’t even been published. The characters are realistic in that everyone has quirky character flaws. It’s a good vs. evil scenario with plenty of characters – arrgh! So many to keep up with. Thank goodness for The Magykal Papers, a guide to the Septimus Heap books. Before each book in the series is available, I go through the guide to reacquaint myself with the characters. The writing is clever, dialog is snappy, and my – what adventures Septimus has. These books could easily be under the “Adventures” subgenre. *UPDATE – Book #7 – Fyre will be published in April 2013. The author is working on the Tod Hunter Moon trilogy that will take place 7 years after Fyre. Woopee! More books to come. Now, how to get galleys of these books . . .
Vivian Vande Velde – Heir Apparent
I know, it is not true fantasy and the CIP includes “virtual reality” and “science fiction” but fans of fantasy will also enjoy this book because the virtual reality game is fantasy based. I enjoy everything that Vivian Vande Velde writes plus – what a cool name she has! Okay, this book is about a girl in the future going to a virtual gaming center where she is hooked up to a virtual reality world to play a game. Oops – bit of a problem with the system and she must successfully complete her mission/goal/task or she dies. Super story telling.
Patricia C. Wrede – Enchanted Forest Chronicles: Dealing With Dragons, Searching For Dragons, Calling on Dragons, Talking to Dragons.
Cimorene is a common sense, down to business princess who declines the traditional vapid princess role. She becomes a dragon’s princess, refusing to be rescued. The books are charming and poke a bit of fun at fairy tales and fantasy. The series was quite popular when it was first published in the 1990s. Deserves to be rediscovered.

Destination Resorts Hawaiʻi Becomes Destination Residences Hawaiʻi
August 5, 2015, 4:20 AM HST
* Updated August 5, 9:04 AM
Destination Residences Hawaiʻi.
By Maui Now Staff
After 39 years, Destination Resorts Hawaiʻi, one of the largest luxury private home vacation rental management companies on Maui is changing its name to “Destination Residences Hawaiʻi” effective this week.
The Wailea-based company employs more than 100 residents and manages over 270 private homes for vacation rental in several resort properties including Wailea Beach Villas, Polo Beach Club, Mākena Surf, and more.
Company executives say the new brand is supported with a new logo, website and brand pillars focused on “authentically immersed experiences, service with a story, unscripted discoveries and individually empowered guests and team.”
Vice president and managing director of Destination Residences Hawaiʻi, Ben Beaudoin said, “The new name genuinely captures our DNA and the spirit of our brand. We provide a true escape to our guests. When they come to us, they come to a home that offers them privacy, space to live and breathe, and experience Hawaiʻi’s culture and nature that way it’s supposed to be.”
Beaudoin says that by replacing the word resort with residences and adding the ʻokina in the word Hawaiʻi in its moniker, the new name enhances the connection to Hawaiʻi’s culture and aptly describes its accommodations as vacation homes.
According to company executives, all of Destination Residences Hawaiʻi’s vacation rentals offer the comforts and conveniences of a home with the full service amenities of a resort like housekeeping, concierge, front desk check-in and a manager on duty 24 hours.
Destination Residences Hawaiʻi manages a variety of studio, one-, two-, three-, and five-bedroom suites in golf-front and ocean-front locations, featuring swimming pools, jet spas, and tropical gardens in proximity to championship golf courses and tennis courts, beaches, shopping and dining. Each residence features spacious living and dining space, fully equipped kitchen, en-suite washer and dryer, and a private lānai.
“We’ve always been guided by the host Hawaiian culture and we want to put more emphasis in sharing that part of us,” said Beaudoin in a company press release announcement. “Our people connect with our guests, in a genuine, relaxed way – sharing their own personal knowledge, stories and history of their island home in ways that may not be easily discovered. And that’s what happens naturally when you are with family and friends in a home you are comfortable in.”
The new name is also being implemented in conjunction with the re-branding of Destination Residences Hawaiʻi’s parent company Destination Hotels that manages more than 40 properties in the US.
Destination Residences Hawaiʻi executives also note that company has grown its revenues by 50% since 2010.

1 00:00:02,2 --> 00:00:05,95 Almost everyone comes to the conclusion that whatever their time is,
2 00:00:05,966 --> 00:00:07,666 is a critical time in human history,
3 00:00:07,708 --> 00:00:10,206 so I'm not sure that I would buy an absolute argument,
4 00:00:11,245 --> 00:00:15,132 but I think it's fair to say that we're at a tipping point in terms of
5 00:00:15,132 --> 00:00:18,590 people's access to computer based information.
6 00:00:18,9 --> 00:00:22,6 For the first time, people are going to be coming together
7 00:00:22,651 --> 00:00:24,675 from every corner of the world, and be able
8 00:00:24,675 --> 00:00:26,675 to engage in direct conversation with each other.

11 00:00:43,225 --> 00:00:45,148 Täällä elämä on kaunista.
12 00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:49,049 Kaunista, koska täällä on puita…
13 00:00:49,049 --> 00:00:52,675 and the trees protect you from the sun.
14 00:00:53,338 --> 00:00:54,751 There's also a lot of bugs.
15 00:00:54,751 --> 00:00:57,551 More than the bugs, I get bored.
16 00:00:58,193 --> 00:01:02,476 I want to learn more about the things that I don't know.
17 00:01:16,461 --> 00:01:21,954 When we first used the laptops, we didn't know what they were.
18 00:01:21,954 --> 00:01:24,387 And the way we learned was…
19 00:01:24,387 --> 00:01:26,887 when one classmate learned how to do something…
20 00:01:26,887 --> 00:01:29,726 they would teach another classmate.
21 00:01:29,962 --> 00:01:33,136 And that classmate would teach another classmate…
22 00:01:33,136 --> 00:01:34,877 and like that we all learned.
23 00:01:38,6 --> 00:01:41,48 What interests me most are legends…
24 00:01:42,348 --> 00:01:44,37 also the land.
25 00:01:45,098 --> 00:01:49,69 Also on the computers you can go on Wikipedia and search.
26 00:01:49,693 --> 00:01:53,41 Wikipedia is where there is all of the information.
27 00:01:53,412 --> 00:01:56,79 Whatever you want to know about, you can look for.
28 00:01:58,276 --> 00:02:03,38 And you can find things that you never…
29 00:02:03,388 --> 00:02:06,61 things you never knew, you can find on Wikipedia.

31 00:02:10,257 --> 00:02:12,68 I was born in Ayacucho.
32 00:02:12,684 --> 00:02:16,68 I didn't study because of my parents, they didn't support me.
33 00:02:16,727 --> 00:02:20,31 The laptops – my daughter, pretty much already knows how to use it.
34 00:02:20,781 --> 00:02:24,04 She teaches me the histories of different countries…
35 00:02:24,496 --> 00:02:29,49 the United States, Brazil, China.
36 00:02:30,146 --> 00:02:33,76 I want her to have a profession…
37 00:02:34,561 --> 00:02:37,93 to have a better education than me.
38 00:02:37,931 --> 00:02:43,56 ♫

41 00:02:54,186 --> 00:02:56,70 This is a city that's very far from here.
42 00:02:57,381 --> 00:02:59,87 I want to introduce all of you to my city.
43 00:03:03,21 --> 00:03:07,75 Now, I want to know more information about your village…
44 00:03:07,753 --> 00:03:09,38 Palestina, Peru.
45 00:03:09,8 --> 00:03:10,95 Michael, there isn't anything.
46 00:03:11,127 --> 00:03:12,50 There isn't anything?
47 00:03:12,498 --> 00:03:16,20 In that case, what we need to do today…
48 00:03:17,092 --> 00:03:20,82 is we need to write a page for Palestina, Peru.
49 00:03:20,824 --> 00:03:22,47 When did we arrive here?
50 00:03:22,47 --> 00:03:26,23 In 1989.
51 00:03:27,101 --> 00:03:31,60 I think it's really exciting to think about having amazing new cultural influences on ideas,
52 00:03:31,685 --> 00:03:34,12 flowing all around the world from different cultures.
53 00:03:34,923 --> 00:03:37,72 So I think we've really barely scratched the surface of
54 00:03:37,705 --> 00:03:40,30 what is possible through collaboration.
55 00:03:40,325 --> 00:03:44,14 If you think about it, doing an encyclopedia is one of the easiest things.
56 00:03:44,876 --> 00:03:47,10 This part here is what I did.
57 00:03:48,018 --> 00:03:49,64 Ahh, the pictures we took!
58 00:03:50,713 --> 00:03:54,64 Palestina, Peru is a village located in the region of Purus…
59 00:03:54,642 --> 00:03:57,10 in the department of Ucayali…
60 00:03:57,105 --> 00:03:58,46 in Peru.
61 00:03:59,412 --> 00:04:03,31 I see collaboration, especially computer mediated collaboration,
62 00:04:03,408 --> 00:04:08,35 as an extremely enabling tool for the population of the world,
63 00:04:08,35 --> 00:04:14,12 and I hope what it will do is uncover voices and ideas that might be invisible otherwise.
64 00:04:14,566 --> 00:04:19,95 The interesting thing is that as we get more and more of the population up on the Internet,
65 00:04:20,908 --> 00:04:23,78 the avenues for interaction will become much richer,
66 00:04:24,758 --> 00:04:30,25 and here, I am not capable of predicting what the outcome will be
67 00:04:30,256 --> 00:04:35,36 when six billion people are online sharing their knowledge with each other.

Gresini MotoGP boss out of coma but remains on ventilator in COVID-19 battle
Gresini MotoGP team boss Fausto Gresini is no longer in a medically induced coma due to COVID-19, but remains sedated and on mechanical ventilation. The veteran MotoGP team boss and 125cc world champion tested positive for the virus just before the Christmas break, before being admitted to hospital in Imola on 27 December. As his condition worsened, Gresini was transferred to a specialist COVID-19 care unit at a hospital in Bologna where he has remained since. Gresini was put into a medically induced coma in late December, but was awoken from this last week as his condition showed slight signs of improvement. In a further update from the team, Gresini is still suffering from "severe...

Betty Jo Pitzer Johnson
Alderson-Betty Jo Pitzer Johnson, 82, of Alderson, passed on to her eternal rest on Saturday, July 26, 2014, at Greenbrier Valley Medical Center, Fairlea, following a short illness.
Born Aug. 10, 1931, in Alderson, she was the daughter of the late Marshall E. and Grace Hoke Pitzer.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a son, Robert Marshall Johnson in 1971 at 17 years of age; a sister, Hazel Pitzer; a brother, Harold Pitzer; and a beloved niece, Bobbie Gwinn.
Betty is survived by: her husband of 63 years, James E. Johnson of Alderson; son, Thomas H. Johnson and wife Terri of Lewisburg; daughter, Barbara J. Sanders and husband David of Alderson; sister, Jean P. Gwinn of Alderson; granddaughter, Cheri J. Grigsby and husband Mark of Morgantown, and their children, Betty’s great-grandsons, Chase and Andrew; grandson, Michael James Johnson of Lewisburg; and many nieces and nephews.
Betty grew up and lived her life in Alderson and the Alderson area. She graduated from Alderson High School in 1949 and Concord College in 1951. She taught Vocational Home Economics for three years at Alderson High School then worked at the Federal Prison Camp for 20 years as a case worker and a vocational teacher, where she received the rank of Master Teacher and other recognitions, until her retirement in 1981. She and her family lived and farmed at Eastview Farm on Blue Sulphur Springs Road for 48 years, retiring back to Alderson in 2006. She was very active in many civic clubs and organizations. Betty was past president of the Alderson Community Center where she spent many years raising funds and getting grants for equipment, a new roof, handicapped accessibility and organizing a successful community center. She co-founded the Alderson Quilters and Crafters Club, was a long time member of the Blue Sulphur CEOS Club, the Alderson Woman’s Club, the Alderson Bridge Club, and was a past member of the Phi Kappa Gamma Sorority. She was also a 4-H Club Leader. Betty was a member of the Alderson Presbyterian Church where her talents were put to goad use. She served as the church organist for 25 years, had a beautiful voice, and was a church Elder for many years. Her skills with a needle and a sewing machine were second to none. She taught many how to sew and make clothing. Her “Best of Show” quilt at the WV State Fair one year was exhibited nationally. She also judged the sewing exhibits at the State Fair several times. She loved cooking, entertaining her family and friends, antiquing and traveling.
The family would like to recognize and thank the caregivers and staff at The Greenbrier Manor where she had resided the last few months.
Funeral services were held Wednesday, July 30, at the Alderson Presbyterian Church, Alderson, where the Rev. Lanny Howe officiated.
Burial was in the Old Greenbrier Memorial Cemetery, Alderson.

Live Performance With Symphony Orchestra On 180g 3LP Set!
Alan Parsons was 19 years old when he landed a job at the world famous Abbey Road Studios, an important first step on his journey to becoming a world class engineer, producer and artist. Following his beginnings with George Martin and The Beatles, his contribution to Pink Floyd’s classic ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ earned him worldwide attention. As a producer he had many hits with Pilot, John Miles, Ambrosia and Al Stewart. Together with his manager and creative partner at the time, Eric Woolfson, he developed the Alan Parsons Project.
Following their debut album “Tales Of Mystery And Imagination“ (1976), they released a series of hit albums; namely “I Robot” (1977), “Pyramid” (1978), “The Turn of a Friendly Card” (1980), “Eye in the Sky” (1982), “Ammonia Avenue” (1984), “Vulture Culture” (1985), “Stereotomy” (1986) and “Gaudi” (1987).
Then Parsons and Woolfson called it a day, but Parsons had ambitions to perform the amazing music live. Now to the great delight of his fans, for the first time on a live audio recording, THE ALAN PARSONS SYMPHONIC PROJECT combines the talents of his amazing band with the lush sound of a 70-piece symphony orchestra, creating a very special show with unmatched quality. Together, they revitalize hits such as “Eye In The Sky“, “Don’t Answer Me“ and “Sirius“.
The lineup consists of Alan Parsons, P.J. Olson, Alastair Greene, Guy Erez, Danny Thompson, Tom Brooks, and Todd Cooper. Alejandro Posada conducts the Medellin Philharmonic Orchestra.
«I am so pleased that this magical night was captured as an audio recording. It is always great to play with an orchestra but the Medelin Philharmonic under the baton of Alejandro Posada was truly exceptional and the band also played and sang amazingly.» – Alan Parsons

A model of low-temperature water transport for hepatocyte spheroids
Brian Korniski, Allison Hubel
Spheroids are multicellular aggregates that exhibit a more tissue-like morphology and function when compared to monolayer cultures of the same cells. Hepatocyte spheroids are presently under investigation for use in an artificial liver. The ability to cryopreserve hepatocyte spheroids is essential for their clinical and commercial application. A multicompartment model was formulated to predict water content as a function of temperature during freezing. The theoretical predictions of water transport indicate that there will be spatial differences in water content of the spheroid during freezing and that due to the rapid decrease in water transport with decreasing temperature, the undercooling of the intracellular solution during freezing will increase steadily. These results indicate that conventional freezing of hepatocyte spheroids will be difficult to accomplish due to transport limitations in the spheroids.

Combined event-related fMRI and EEG evidence for temporal-parietal cortex activation during target detection
V. Menon, J. M. Ford, K. O. Lim, G. H. Glover, A. Pfefferbaum
TARGET detection is the process of bringing a salient stimulus into conscious awareness. Target detection evokes a prominent event-related potential (ERP) component (P3) in the electroencephalogram (EEG). We combined the high spatial resolution of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with the high temporal resolution of EEG to investigate the neural generators of the P3. Event-related brain activation (ERBA) and ERPs were computed by time-locked averaging of fMRI and EEG, respectively, recorded using the same paradigm in the same subjects. Target detection elicited significantly greater ERBAs bilaterally in the temporal-parietal cortex, thalamus and anterior cingulate. Spario-temporal modelling of ERPs based on dipole locations derived from the ERBAs indicated that bilateral sources in the temporal-parietal cortex are the main generators of the P3. The findings provide convergent fMRI and EEG evidence for significant activation of the temporal-parietal cortex 285-610 ms after stimulus onset during target detection. The methods developed here provide a novel multimodal neuroimaging technique to investigate the spario-temporal aspects of processes underlying brain function.

Contiguous deletion of the X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy gene (ABCD1) and DXS1357E: A novel neonatal phenotype similar to peroxisomal biogenesis disorders
Deyanira Corzo, William Gibson, Kisha Johnson, Grant Mitchell, Guy LePage, Gerald F. Cox, Robin Casey, Carolyn Zeiss, Heidi Tyson, Garry R. Cutting, Gerald V. Raymond, Kirby D. Smith, Paul A. Watkins, Ann B. Moser, Hugo W. Moser, Steven J. Steinberg
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) results from mutations in ABCD1. ABCD1 resides on Xq28 and encodes an integral peroxisomal membrane protein (ALD protein [ALDP]) that is of unknown function and that belongs to the ATP-binding cassette-transporter superfamily. Individuals with ABCD1 mutations accumulate very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) (carbon length >22). Childhood cerebral X-ALD is the most devastating form of the disease. These children have the earliest onset (age 7.2 ± 1.7 years) among the clinical phenotypes for ABCD1 mutations, but onset does not occur at <3 years of age. Individuals with either peroxisomal biogenesis disorders (PBD) or single-enzyme deficiencies (SED) in the peroxisomal β-oxidation pathway - disorders such as acyl CoA oxidase deficiency and bifunctional protein deficiency - also accumulate VLCFA, but they present during the neonatal period. Until now, it has been possible to distinguish unequivocally between individuals with these autosomal recessively inherited syndromes and individuals with ABCD1 mutations, on the basis of the clinical presentation and measurement of other biochemical markers. We have identified three newborn boys who had clinical symptoms and initial biochemical results consistent with PBD or SED. In further study, however, we showed that they lacked ALDP, and we identified deletions that extended into the promoter region of ABCD1 and the neighboring gene, DXS1357E. Mutations in DXS1357E and the ABCD1 promoter region have not been described previously. We propose that the term "contiguous ABCD1 DXS1357E deletion syndrome" (CADDS) be used to identify this new contiguous-gene syndrome. The three patients with CADDS who are described here have important implications for genetic counseling, because individuals with CADDS may previously have been misdiagnosed as having an autosomal recessive PBD or SED.

Effects of brain injury and other subject characteristics on paired associate performance under paragraph elaboration
J. E. Turnure, S. N. Larsen, Martha L Thurlow
The effects of paragraph elaboration on paired associate learning and reversal were investigated in 137 retarded children who were classified as either brain injured or non brain injured. Analyses of the relationship between performance on a six pair list and brain injury classification were significant for acquisition only. The results suggested that the presence or absence of brain injury may have implications for the choice of response measures in studies of language and learning. The results were also related to current questions regarding the interpretation and implications of Luria's theory of mental retardation.

Implantation of a Tissue-engineered Heart Valve from Human Fibroblasts Exhibiting Short Term Function in the Sheep Pulmonary Artery
Zeeshan H Syedain, Matthew T. Lahti, Sandra L. Johnson, Paul S. Robinson, George R. Ruth, Richard W Bianco, Robert T Tranquillo
We have previously demonstrated the feasibility of fabricating a fibrin-based tissue-engineered heart valve (TEHV) using neonatal human dermal fibroblasts (nhDF), including leaflets with structural and mechanical anisotropy similar to native leaflets. The aim here was to evaluate the performance of this TEHV in a pilot study using the sheep model. Bi-leaflet TEHV were conditioned in a cyclic stretching bioreactor, then implanted within a polymeric sleeve interpositionally into the pulmonary artery of four sheep, with the pulmonary valve either left intact or rendered incompetent. Heparin and immunosuppression were administered for the duration. Echocardiography was performed at implantation and at 4 and 8 weeks. Explants were examined histologically, biochemically, and mechanically. In all sheep, echocardiography at implantation showed coapting leaflets, with minimal valve regurgitation and no turbulence. Orifice area and pressure gradients at systole approached the native pulmonary valve values. Echocardiography at 4 weeks revealed both leaflets functional with moderate regurgitation and turbulence in three sheep; in one sheep, only one leaflet was evident. Explanted leaflets had thickness and tensile properties comparable to the implanted leaflets. There was extensive endothelialization of the root lumenal surface. In the two sheep continued to 8 weeks, only one shortened leaflet remained in both cases. Immunocytochemistry indicated this was due to sustained tissue contraction caused by the nhDF and not by the invading host cells, which included a subpopulation consistent with bone marrow-derived cells. Short-term success was thus achieved in terms of excellent valve function at implantation and some valve function for at least 4 weeks; however, an apparent progressive tissue contraction needs to be resolved for long-term success.

Three-dimensional symmetric shapes are discriminated more efficiently than asymmetric ones
Zili Liu, Daniel Kersten
Objects with bilateral symmetry, such as faces, animal shapes, and many man-made objects, play an important role in everyday vision. Because they occur frequently, it is reasonable to conjecture that the brain may be specialized for symmetric objects. We investigated whether the human visual system processes three-dimensional (3D) symmetric objects more efficiently than asymmetric ones. Human subjects, having learned a symmetric wire object, discriminated which of two distorted copies of the learned object was more similar to the learned one. The distortion was achieved by adding 3D Gaussian positional perturbations at the vertices of the wire object. In the asymmetric condition, the perturbation was independent from one vertex to the next. In the symmetric condition, independent perturbations were added to only half of the object; perturbations on the other half retained the symmetry of the object. We found that subjects' thresholds were higher in the symmetric condition. However, since the perturbation in the symmetric condition was correlated, a stimulus image provided less information in the symmetric condition. Taking this into consideration, an ideal-observer analysis revealed that subjects were actually more efficient at discriminating symmetric objects. This reversal in interpretation underscores the importance of ideal-observer analysis. A completely opposite, and wrong, conclusion would have been drawn from analyzing only human discrimination thresholds. Given the same amount of information, the visual system is actually better able to discriminate symmetric objects than asymmetric ones.

Woman Severely Injured In DAPL Protest Brought To HCMC
More Than $240K Already Raised For Medical FundBy Reg Chapman November 22, 2016 at 5:24 pm

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A woman from New York is in a Minneapolis hospital Tuesday. She is going through surgeries after claims of being hit with a grenade at Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota.
Sophia Wilansky (credit: CBS)
Sophia Wilansky was flown to Hennepin County Medical Center after her arm was severely injured.
She is one of thousands standing with indigenous people who are protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline.
Many are gathered at the hospital for a prayer vigil for Wilansky.
Video and still photos show the clash between police and protestors on Sunday.
“There’s over 500 tribes … from across America showed up,” said Clyde Bellecourt, founder and national director of the American Indian Movement. “It’s the largest gathering of Indian people in the modern history.”

— Jeff Wagner (@Jeff_Wagner4) November 22, 2016
Bellecourt says police are using violence against peaceful protestors.
“This is un-American what they’re doing to the Native people,” said Wayne Wilansky, Sophia Wilansky’s father. “My daughter, who was completely conscious, say that they threw a grenade right at her.”
Wilansky says the bone was blown out of his daughter’s arm, and all the muscles and veins are gone.
He says a weapon of war was used on his daughter, but police tell a different story.
A spokesperson for the Morton County Sheriff told the Los Angeles Times, “It wasn’t from our law enforcement, because we didn’t deploy anything that should have caused that type of damage to her arm. We’re not sure how her injury was sustained.”
“I spoke to the surgeon myself directly. They took shrapnel out of her arm, so it’s pretty clear that it’s a grenade,” Wilansky said.

In addition to Wilansky, Bellecourt says hundreds of others have been injured. Their prayer Tuesday is for peace, and for others to join in the protest.
“Genocide and violence against native peoples and all people of color continues. People standing up to fight this genocide continue to be violently beaten down,” Bellecourt said.
He says it is not about indigenous people and sacred land — it is about protecting the water for generations to come.
The pipeline would be used to carry oil from North Dakota under the Missouri River to Illinois.
The Army Corps of Engineers delayed construction work last week to hold further discussions with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.
But the companies behind the pipeline have asked a federal court to allow them to complete the work.
A GoFundMe medical fund has been set up for Wilansky with already $241,000 raised of the $300,000 goal as of early Tuesday evening.
According to the fund, Wilansky was handing out water to protectors “holding down the space” when she was hit by the grenade.

Use Your Labor Day Road Trip to Become a More Civic-Minded Family!
-By Quint Studer
Labor Day is almost here, and for many families that long-awaited road trip is right around the corner. If you’re wondering how to keep the kids occupied during the long drive (besides video games and bickering!), here’s a thought: Why not listen to a podcast from one of America’s thought leaders on building stronger communities?
Sound a little far-fetched? It isn’t. Learning what goes into creating great cities and towns is fascinating for people of all ages.
There’s a movement right now toward localism and creating thriving places where people want to be. Creating a great community is a job best done by citizens—and civic-mindedness starts early. Why not take advantage of having the whole family together in one place, and make your road trip a fun, educational experience?
Another point to consider: School has been a bit, well, disrupted in 2020. Many parents are worried about what their kids might be losing, education-wise. It won’t hurt them to learn about, say, the link between human connection and happiness…or why walkable cities beat car-centric ones…or how to build an urban forest. (See? Fascinating!)
All this is why I created the Civic-Minded Family Series. It’s a spin-off of CivicCon (short for “Civic Conversations”), Pensacola, Florida’s speaker series designed to improve the civic IQ of citizens. CivicCon brings in some of the nation’s top thinkers and experts to educate people on issues they need to know in order to lay the groundwork for change inside the community.
Here are a few lectures you and your kids might enjoy listening to or even watching (well…not the driver) on your summer road trip:
Leveraging What’s Special About Your Community
After studying what makes American towns boom or go bust, Andrew Davis has found that most thriving communities have “staked a claim” by making themselves synonymous with a particular industry or lifestyle (e.g., Napa Valley immediately calls wine to mind, and Nashville is the home of country music). He identifies steps communities can take to focus their branding, create location envy, and attract more businesses.

Create a Happy City by Connecting People
Having spent roughly a decade doing research and urban experiments for his book Happy City: Transforming Our Lives Through Urban Design, award-winning author and urbanist Charles Montgomery says simple human connection is the key to making people—and cities—happier. Learn how government officials, developers, and urban planners can create environments that boost citizens’ social connection, community engagement, health, and general well-being.

Chuck Marohn
What Makes America’s Strongest Towns Stand Out?
Chuck Marohn is the founder and president of Strong Towns, host of the Strong Towns Podcast, and the author of several books, including Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Rebuild American Prosperity. He will change the way you think about growth and development and talk about the ways we can make the lowest-cost, highest-returning investments in our community.
www.strongtowns.org
What Successful Communities Are Doing Right
James Fallows served as former President Jimmy Carter’s chief speech writer and is an award-winning author and a decades-long correspondent for The Atlantic. He spent years traveling the country in a single-engine prop plane. He says even though many Americans are worried about the direction of the country, local communities are getting things done: finding money to innovate their schools, investing in businesses and policies to revitalize their downtowns, and building better places for people of all different experiences and backgrounds.
www.ourtownsbook.com
How to Create a Walkable City
Jeff Speck is a city planner, urban designer, creator of the Governors’ Institute on Community Design, and former director of design at the National Endowment for the Arts. He advocates internationally for more walkable cities and argues that cities function best as a collection of small neighborhoods, each with their own places to live, work, shop, worship, and go to school.

Peter Kageyama
Does Your City Grab You by the Heart?
Peter Kageyama is the author of For the Love of Cities: The Love Affair Between People and Their Places and Love Where You Live: Creating Emotionally Engaging Places. The senior fellow with the Alliance for Innovation inspires the audience with his passionate stories of how grassroots community change has made life better and happier for people in cities across the country.

The best part of listening to these lectures is the discussions you and your kids will have afterward.
It’s a lot of fun to apply what you’ve learned to the cities and towns you pass through on your trip. People tell me that after listening to a couple of these lectures, their kids really enjoy pointing out big parking lots that could be put to better use, or commenting on how walkable a downtown is with all the shade trees.
Kids really do love to learn. Even younger ones grasp more than you think they will. And it’s great to know they’re learning something that will benefit us all in the future.

My ramblings on television, films and books. Maybe "I never leave my sofa" would be a better name
Defiance: Season 1
On August 17, 2013 By sulkyblueIn 12-13 Season, Science Fiction, Season Reviews
I was so excited at finally having a ‘proper’ science fiction show with spaceships and aliens back on the air that I was maybe a little gushy in my pilot review. The rest of the series didn’t quite live up to my rose-tinted view of the pilot, but it did manage to hang on to most of the sense of fun and production quality.
My biggest disappointment with the show is something of a personal bugbear; I don’t like it when science fiction shows lose track of the science bit of that and head off into wibbly-wobbly mysticism. There is a muttering about nano-tech to explain the visions and powers and what-not, but that’s a bit of a cheat in my book. I like my science fiction to be explainable and not drift too far off into magical powers, destinies and chosen ones.
As the series went on it seemed to become less about aliens and spaceships and more about politics and secrets. It’s hard for me to explain where this lost me, I know and love that science fiction is generally just about using different situations to explore familiar issues, but this all became a little too mundane. The ‘alieness’ became confined to interior décor, colourful make-up, swear words that get past the censors and a couple of exaggerated character traits. With the exception of the mystical wibblies, most of the stories and characters could have come straight out of Deadwood.
I’m probably being rather harsh, but then it balances with my rather rose-tinted pilot review. I did enjoy the stories and the characters, they’re all doing solid jobs and there are a couple of stand-out performances – Jaime Murray (Warehouse 13, Hustle) plays the multi-layered Stahma beautifully and most of my frustration with the mystical storylines stemmed from the fact that Stephanie Leonidas was so much more fun playing the knife-happy Irisa rather than the angsty girl with a destiny.
The design is also a lot of fun, the way the alien races have all contributed and merged into the human world, everything overlapping, the next generation integrating more than their parents might like… it’s impressively done and interesting to watch. Even the music is wonderfully alien feeling. It means that even though it’s all made of of very familiar components it combines into something fresh and new. The only exception being the rather one-dimensional Earth Republic, who seem to have wandered straight out of Firefly to be “evil gus in suits”.
It’s a solid show and very entertaining to watch. But it’s more an a level with syfy’s other ‘fun’ shows like Warehouse 13 and Eureka. That just seems a bit of a shame, because with a bit of extra effort it could have been more; but it lacks the originality and chaos of Farscape or the depth and power of Battlestar Galactica. I’ll certainly be happily tuning in for season 2 next year, maybe by then I’ll have got over my disappointment and be able to more fully embrace the show for what it is, rather than what it’s not.

European space rocket launch fails minutes after takeoff
Home > Overseas
Posted at Nov 17 2020 02:26 PM
KOUROU, France - A European space rocket failed minutes after taking off with the loss of both satellites it was carrying, its operator said Tuesday.
The Vega light launcher, which would have placed Spain's first satellite into orbit, malfunctioned roughly 8 minutes after launching from a space center in Kourou, French Guiana.
Having taken off at around 11 p.m. local time (0200 GMT), the launcher slowed before it encountered an unidentified "anomaly," said Arianespace, the company overseeing the launch.
"The mission is lost," CEO Stephane Israel said in a livestream to track the rocket.
It is unclear what caused the failure, but Arianespace said they were working to determine what went wrong.
Vega was supposed to place 2 satellites -- both of which were lost during the mission -- around 700 kilometers (435 miles) from Earth.
The mission would have launched Spain's first Earth observation satellite for the European Space Agency (ESA).
It would also have placed into orbit Taranis, a French satellite that would have observed extremely bright electrical phenomena in the planet's upper atmosphere.
The launch's failure is the second in as many years.

Paralyzed woman finishes marathon 16 days after start
A 32-year-old paraplegic woman using a robotic walking suit has completed the London Marathon, 16 days after the event began.
Hundreds of onlookers cheered a tearful Claire Lomas on Tuesday afternoon as she crossed the finish line on The Mall in central London, The Sun reported.
Lomas, who was paralyzed from the chest down in a 2007 horse-riding accident, walked the 26.2-mile course using crutches and a £43,000 ($69,500) suit that uses motion sensors to help her move her legs. When Lomas shifts her balance, the ReWalk machine moves her joints forward, allowing her to take a step, the BBC reported.
Lomas, of Eye Kettleby, England, averaged more than 1.5 miles per day since the marathon began on April 22, following the official route. She stayed at a hotel at night and was driven to the spot where she stopped the day before, according to the BBC. Her husband, Dan Spicer, accompanied her the whole way, and her parents and 1-year-old daughter also were with her for parts of the walk.
"The support has been breathtaking, and it feels fantastic to finally finish," she said, according to The Sun. “I really didn’t expect this and I can’t quite believe it’s all for me. Everyone has been so supportive and I couldn’t have done it without them."
Lomas was walking, in part, to raise money for Spinal Research, a British charity that funds medical research to develop paralysis treatments. As of Tuesday evening, she had raised more than £105,000 ($169,600) online.
The marathon did not award her a medal, citing a rule that participants must finish on the day the event started. But publicity prompted 15 participants to donate their medals to her, the BBC reported.
Also, a daughter of Virgin Group chief Sir Richard Branson gave Lomas a Virgin trophy for endurance, according to The Sun. Virgin sponsors the race.
"It was so emotional when she crossed that line," Holly Branson said, according to The Sun. "Tears welled up in my eyes, and everyone was cheering."
Lomas' donation page links to a YouTube video showing what she says is an early training session with the walking suit. She wrote that she got the suit with the help of fundraising efforts by friends and others.
On the last mile of Lomas' walk, the crowd became silent as she paused in a mark of respect at the location where one of the London Marathon runners, 30-year-old Claire Squires, collapsed and died on April 22, The Sun reported.

She is an inspiration..I vow to blog for 26 straight hours... .
Congrats to her for finishing. What an accomplishment. I just saw a show about these suits not long ago and this lady was in it. It was amazing to see her walking around all over the place. The crutches only help to provide a bit of balance but she can actually walk without them. What a great thing that will help people that are paralyzed on so many levels.

What a wonderful thing to read. May God continue to bless you in all you do.
I am as impressed with her perseverance as most of the posters here, but I tend to agree with the marathon's ruling about the medal. What she accomplished was inspirational and newsworthy, but it really wasn't a marathon.
Regardless, I'm glad she raised all that money for research and didn't give up. Going back day after day is physically and emotionally draining - I'm not sure I could do it.

As someone who participated in and finished a Half Marathon 5 years after undergoing a double heart bypass I respectfully disagree with you contention that it “wasn’t really a Marathon”. The completion of a Marathon is looked upon as an example of an individual’s supreme commitment to a achieving a goal requiring all of the physical and mental endurance that they can bring to bear. For an average person with average physical and mental capabilities they are expected to complete the task in something fewer than 12 hours or one day. There is no “book of rules” setting out the time required for a paralyzed individual to complete the task, since it was thought to be an impossibility before this lady made the attempt. Hence I put it to you that she has now written and therefore established the official time to beat for persons in her physical condition to beat. Congratulation madam you are indeed a gutsy pioneer. What you have achieved will stay with you and yours long after many of the medals of other participants lie forgotten in the back of some desk drawer.

That's a HECK of a distance even for non paralyzed. Good for her. Determination pays off.
Right on girl!!! Theres no more excuses left for they lazy population of this country,,,now get off the couch and do something with yourselfes lazies
And they try to trip her at the end? That is just mean.
But seriously, what a great accomplishment. Quite the moving story I must say. It's funny how archaic these robot legs will someday (hopefully soon) seem when they come out with super sweet technology for paraplegics etc 🙂
Good girl!
And look! The Electric Horseman is there to greet her at the finish line.Hes a rhinestone cowboooy dah DUN.....
He's a rhinestone cowboooy dah DUN.....
No they not cowboys they are Pearly Kings and Queens. A rather colourful London fund raising tradition.
Is this shall we say, a small step to robotic armor and other sci-fi stuff?

Explorers spec new Land Rover Discovery
SExplorer and broadcaster Halls was there to spec his new Discovery after attending the car’s global debut near Coventry last month.
SThe ex-Royal Marines Officer said: “Land Rovers have been a part of my life for some 30 years, from my time in the Marines to the expeditions and TV projects they have supported me on.
S“Key for me is getting my boat and trailer into and out of the water, so the towing capacity and wading credentials combined make the Discovery the perfect vehicle for me and my family. It was love at first sight, and I’ve been really excited to spec my car since the moment I saw it a few weeks ago.”
SThe fifth-generation Land Rover Discovery made its public debut at the Paris Motor Show last month. The off-roader has undergone an extensive overhaul while retaining the practicality and capability it’s famous for.
SThe exterior design features Land Rover’s new ‘family’ look, with the headlights and grille now narrower than on the outgoing model. The car’s aluminium structure is the Discovery’s biggest leap forward, as it makes the 4×4 480kg lighter than before.
SJeremy Hicks, UK managing director of Jaguar Land Rover, said: “New Discovery is our best go-anywhere, do-anything Land Rover ever. It has adventure in its DNA but is built for the digital age; it tows more, it wades deeper and offers a fully flexible seating package for Monty’s film crew or his family.”
SThe new showroom cost £12m and is part of the manufacturer’s broader investment in overhauling its dealership network.
SThe new Discovery will be in showrooms from spring 2017, with prices starting at £42,495 OTR.

Two CRC Proposals Tackling Felon Voting Rights Pass
WFSU | By Andrew Quintana
Published January 19, 2018 at 5:01 PM EST
MGN Online
Florida Felons have been fighting for the right to vote for years now, and while a grassroots petition movement within the state has spurred interest in the issue, two proposals in the Constitutional Revisions Commission look to tackle the controversy from another angle.
Jermaine Miller is a former inmate who has been fighting for his right to vote for the past two years.
“I mean everybody paid. If you go into a jail or prison and you paid your debt to society. You should have your right to get your debt back. You know, get your rights back. Not in five years, three years, but two years or a year maybe,” Miller says.
Miller spoke to WFSU back in October. He’s part of the citizen led ballot initiative aiming to get a million signatures in favor of felons regaining their voting rights automatically. So far, Florida’s Division of Election website shows the movement has 750,723 signatures. 16,000 away from reaching the ballots. Meanwhile, a new avenue for restoring felon rights is emerging, as two proposals are moving in the Constitution Revision Commission. The panel that meets every 20 years to revise the state constitution and put political changes before voters.
Proposals 7 and 21 aim to reinstate the right to vote and hold office for felons who have served their sentence and completed parole. And while both have the same goal in mind, they differ in strategy as Democratic Senator Darryl Rouson (D-St. Petersburg) explains.
“Well I believe in the ultimate redemption of individuals who have paid their debt, done their time. But we also live in community, in society, where people may not feel the same redemption that I feel,” Rouson says.
He was speaking about proposal 21, which he sponsors. The proposal gives certain felons the right to vote and hold office. Persons convicted of felonies involving the use or threat of physical force or violence against any individual are disqualified. This opens the door for felons convicted of nonviolent crimes, which Rouson says is nearly 75 percent of the 1.5 million disenfranchised voters.
Proposal 7, sponsored by former Senate Democratic Leaders Arthenia Joyner and Chris Smith, mirrors more of the language used in the petition. It allows felons the right to vote and hold office once they have served their sentence no matter their crime.
And while both proposals and the citizen initiative are competing for votes in the 2018 election, Rouson believes the competition is good. He says it directs more eyes to the issue at hand.
“Locking people up, punishing them for life with the scarlet F, is more of a cost to society and community then it is a benefit. It’s more of a cost then it is a deterrent. And I think that the wave of reform has been cranked up, and we’re moving down the highway with a date towards freedom,” Rouson says.
Both proposals need to pass one more Constitution Revision Committee before heading to the full 37 member CRC.

Beyond the specific topic of natural 14 C, it is hoped that this account may serve as a metaphor for young scientists, illustrating that just when a scientific discipline may appear to be approaching maturity, unanticipated metrological advances in their own chosen fields, and unanticipated anthropogenic or natural chemical events in the environment, can spawn new areas of research having exciting theoretical and practical implications.
This article is about metrology, the science of measurement. More specifically, it examines the metrological revolutions, or at least evolutionary milestones that have marked the history of radiocarbon dating, since its inception some 50 years ago, to the present. The series of largely or even totally unanticipated developments in the metrology of natural 14 C is detailed in the several sections of this article, together with examples of the consequent emergence of new and fundamental applications in a broad range of disciplines in the physical, social, and biological sciences.
Following the discovery of this year half-life radionuclide in laboratory experiments by Ruben and Kamen, it became clear to W. Libby that 14 C should exist in nature, and that it could serve as a quantitative means for dating artifacts and events marking the history of civilization.

While the term has several meanings, the most frequent usage refers to two people exploring whether they are romantically or sexually compatible by participating in dates with the other. With the use of modern technology, people can date via telephone or computer or just meet in person. Dating may also involve two or more people who have already decided that they share romantic or sexual feelings toward each other.
These people will have dates on a regular basis, and they may or may not be having sexual relations. This period of courtship is sometimes seen as a precursor to engagement. Dating as an institution is a relatively recent phenomenon which has mainly emerged in the last few centuries. From the standpoint of anthropology and sociology , dating is linked with other institutions such as marriage and the family which have also been changing rapidly and which have been subject to many forces, including advances in technology and medicine.

Ever since The Enlightenment, and possibly even before that, researchers have attempted to understand the chronology of the world around us, to figure out precisely when each stage in our geological, biological and cultural evolution took place. Even when the only science we had to go on was religious literature and the western world believed the world was created in BC 1 , scholars tried to figure out when each biblical event took place, to define a chronology from savagery to civilization, from creation to the first animal, then to the emergence of the first people.
The pre-enlightenment understanding of our geological and cultural history may now be proven wrong and subject to ridicule, but the principles of defining our place in time in the cosmos underpin many sciences. As technology advances, so do our methods, accuracy and tools for discovering what we want to learn about the past. All dating methods today can be grouped into one of two categories: absolute dating , and relative dating. The former gives a numeric age for example, this artefact is years old ; the latter provides a date based on relationships to other elements for example, this geological layer formed before this other one.
Naomi Campbell is one of the most well known supermodels in the world, so it makes sense she has an extensive high-profile dating history.

That year, the couple appeared on the cover of Teen Vogue together in June, but two days after the issue came out, they confirmed they had broken things off. Lovato entered into her longest relationship — so far! The couple dated on and off for six years until officially ending things in Clearly, Lovato has a thing for fighters.
They split by the end of the year. The two were spotted on a sushi date in LA in November after Lovato left a treatment center. Soon after, they made their relationship Instagram official, with Lovato posting a video of Henry leaning in for a kiss, according to E!

Pentagon builds new sensing weapons for space war
A 6th-Generation stealth fighter has already taken flight, a new class of ICBMs will soon fly through space, hundreds of new Low Earth Orbit satellites are shooting up beyond the earth’s atmosphere and emerging hypersonic weapons are moving from design to production in record time … all because of fast-moving digital engineering innovations.
Digital engineering, a method of using 3D virtualized representations and engineering models of new high-end platforms and weapons systems is already changing the Pentagon’s acquisition paradigm and exponentially accelerating the pace at which new systems become ready for war.
China and Russia are already claiming to fire operational hypersonic weapons, anti-satellite missiles and AI-enabled systems propelled by quantum computing. China is raising alarm bells with its industrial capacity to build new carriers, amphibs and destroyers in rapid succession, at a staggering pace. This may not mean that rival weapons systems and platforms truly rival U.S. ones, yet the pace of development continues to cause alarm at the Pentagon, further inspiring this massive push to accelerate the development of new weapons through digital engineering.
As part of this effort, the Pentagon and all the military services are working with industry partners such as Raytheon to refine and implement digital engineering methods throughout the entire sphere of scientific and technologically-focused new weapons programs.
PENTAGON DEPLOYS NEW SUB-LAUNCHED, LOW-YIELD NUCLEAR MISSILE
“We need to think about how to get faster. Our adversaries aren’t slowing down, and neither can we,” Madison Dye, WorldView Legion engineering lead, Space & C2 Systems, Raytheon Intelligence & Space, told The National Interest in an interview.

Raytheon continues to draw upon methods of digital engineering to build telescope subsystems for new, high-resolution Low Earth Orbit (LEO) commercial satellites, such as those increasingly being used by the U.S. military services. Maxar’s WorldView Legion, a fleet of six Earth-observation satellites, will offer a more accurate and timely view of the ground.
“Our instrument collects images and effectively stitches together a panoramic picture of the ground,” Wallis Laughrey, vice president of Space Systems at Raytheon Intelligence & Space, said in a Raytheon essay. “The amount of images collected will be huge. Each satellite will collect imagery that could cover approximately 700,000 square kilometers – about the size of Texas – every day.”
The Legion provides an accuracy measure of <5m CE90, meaning users can be 90-percent confident the identified feature is within a 5-meter radius of where the image suggests it is, the Maxar website states.
NAVY MAY ARM NEW DESTROYER WITH CONVENTIONAL MISSILE ABLE TO HIT ANYWHERE ON EARTH IN AN HOUR
“We implemented digital models to rapidly increase the pace at which we were able to run through the thermal elastic analysis as well as understand the full end to end threat of the digital signal chain,” said Matt Jenkins, digital engineering lead, Space & C2 Systems, Raytheon Intelligence & Space.
Using digital engineering to fast-track and upgrade commercial satellites of potential value to the U.S. military services synchronizes with ongoing Army work to integrate networking innovations.
“If a commander has multiple options to use such as commercial SATCOM, military SATCOM, high bandwidth military radios/waveforms and even commercial cellular in permissible environments, then the commander can choose the best network option for the mission or fall back to a different option in a contested environment,” Paul Mehney, Director of Communications, Army Program Executive Office C3T, told Warrior.
Air Force Acquisition Executive William Roper, one of the early leaders and proponents of implementing digital engineering, describes the process as a “digital trinity,” consisting of software development, computer modeling and the integration of common technical infrastructure standards. Roper articulates his vision in an essay he wrote called “There is No Spoon: The New Digital Acquisition Reality.”
CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
“This ‘digital trinity’ — digital engineering and management, agile software, and open architecture — is the true successor to stealth: the next big paradigm shift for military 3 tech dominance. Rather than just building better systems, it builds systems better — opening doors to faster design, seamless assembly, and easier upgrades — and not a moment too soon!” Roper writes in his essay.

Visa abandons takeover of Plaid after DOJ raises antitrust concerns
Visa CEO Alfred Kelly speaks at Boston College’s Chief Executive Club luncheon, September 27, 2018.
Brian Snyder | Reuters
Visa has ended its takeover efforts of Silicon Valley start-up Plaid about two months after the Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit on grounds that it would limit competition in the payments industry.
The company said the decision to end the merger was mutual.
About a year ago, on Jan. 13, 2020, Visa announced that it planned on acquiring Plaid in a deal worth $5.3 billion — roughly double the start-up’s last private valuation. The company’s API software, often referred to as the “plumbing” behind fintech companies, lets start-ups connect to users’ bank accounts. The company says it integrates with more than 11,000 banks.
Plaid CEO Zach Perret said in a statement the company will work with Visa as an investor and partner going forward.
The deal hit a snag late last year after the DOJ pointed out Visa’s acquisition could eliminate a nascent competitive threat. The DOJ cited Visa CEO Al Kelly’s description of the deal as an “insurance policy” to neutralize a “threat to our important US debit business.”
The department argued at the time there was potential for the deal to extend a Visa “monopoly” on debit transactions, adding that it “must be stopped.”
The DOJ said in a statement Tuesday that termination of the merger was “a victory for American consumers and small businesses.”
The lawsuit symbolized a step that many tech critics say should have been taken by the Federal Trade Commission back when it was approving Facebook’s acquisitions of Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014.
Now, those mergers are re-entering public discussion. Late last year, the FTC and several states filed antitrust lawsuits against Facebook, alleging it used its market power to squash competitors before they could become true rivals to Facebook’s empire. The suits suggest remedies that could include requiring Facebook to spin off those two businesses.

There is controversy surrounding the usage of the ILUC factor. Today, gasifiers use high-tech processes to produce a gas from solid biomass by heating it under very controlled conditions. Many of the biomass fuels used today come in the form of wood products, dried vegetation, crop residues, and aquatic plants.
Today, many kinds of biomass are used as energy resources. Biomass can be used to create different products from different forms of organic matter. Despite obstacles, biofuels continue to surge.
This page addresses biopower—using biomass to generate electricity. This can be performed directly in a direct carbon fuel cell[48] direct liquid fuel cells such as direct ethanol fuel cella direct methanol fuel cella direct formic acid fuel cella L-ascorbic Acid Fuel Cell vitamin C fuel cell[49] and a microbial fuel cell.
A plant in Wisconsin usestons of wood wastes, shredded railroad ties, and even scrap tires. When you compare the process of biomass energy to fossil fuelsyou find that the cost is actually much higher.
When these carbohydrates are burned, they turn back into carbon dioxide and water and release the energy they captured from the sun. Biomass in the form of dead plants, trees, grass, leaves, crops, manure, garbage animals waste can be a great source of alternative fuels that can be used to replace fossil fuels.
P75 Hamelinck, Carlo N. It can also be used directly as heat or to generate electricity using a steam turbine. Adapted from The National Energy Education Project public domain Biomass is organic material that comes from plants and animals, and it is a renewable source of energy.
The processed biomass is then burned in enormous furnaces. Instead of going to landfills much of our green waste is now trucked directly to biomass plants. By developing crops that are committed to delivering fuel that will, in the end, be used for biomass energy, we are utilizing land that may have been utilized for food sources.
The MW facility uses sugarcane fiber bagasse and recycled urban wood as fuel to generate enough power for its large milling and refining operations as well as to supply electricity for nearly 60, homes.
Biodiesel is produced from vegetable oils and animal fats and can be used in vehicles and as heating oil. This is why biomass energy is said to be renewable. Environmental groups also cite recent scientific research which has found that it can take many decades for the carbon released by burning biomass to be recaptured by regrowing trees, and even longer in low productivity areas; furthermore, logging operations may disturb forest soils and cause them to release stored carbon.
This is a complex issue and the recommendation that harvests developed for fuel causes food deficiencies is not necessarily a true statement.
The price of biofuels. The principal positive about biomass energy is that it creates power by utilizing renewable assets. Wood is still used extensively for energy in both household situations, and in industry, particularly in the timber, paper and pulp and other forestry-related industries.
There are other less common, more experimental or proprietary thermal processes that may offer benefits, such as hydrothermal upgrading. These tend to use feedstock produced by rapidly reproducing enzymes or bacteria from various sources including excrement [59] grown in cell cultures or hydroponics.
Typically, perennial crops sequester much more carbon than annual crops due to much greater non-harvested living biomass, both living and dead, built up over years, and much less soil disruption in cultivation. Biomass is organic material that comes from plants and animals, and it is a renewable source of energy.
Biomass contains stored energy from the sun. Plants absorb the sun's energy in. To many people, the most familiar forms of renewable energy are the wind and the sun. But biomass (plant material and animal waste) is the oldest source of renewable energy, used since our ancestors learned the secret of fire.
Note: This page addresses biopower—using biomass to generate. Biomass is one of the most plentiful and well-utilised sources of renewable energy in the world.
Broadly speaking, it is organic material produced by the photosynthesis of light. Biomass is an organic renewable energy source that includes materials such as agriculture and forest residues, energy crops, and algae. Scientists and engineers at the Energy Department and National Laboratories are finding new, more efficient ways to convert biomass into biofuels that can take the place of conventional fuels like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
Biomass resources that are available on a renewable basis and are used either directly as a fuel or converted to another form or energy product are. Biomass Energy Pros and Cons Biomass energy is the energy that is derived from organic matter of plants and animals.
Biomass in the form of dead plants, trees, grass, leaves, crops, manure, garbage animals waste can be a great source of alternative fuels that can be used to replace fossil fuels.

Ruth Davies’ Blues Night with Special Guest Keb’ Mo’on July 25;
Khalil directs the Oaktown Jazz Workshop two afternoons a week, runs the instrumental music program at Allen Temple Baptist Church in Oakland, serves as an artist-in-residence at the Oakland School of Music, and rehearsing and performing with three ensembles: the Khalil Shaheed Quartet (often including his daughter, Savannah Harris, 16, on drums), the jazz-meets-Moroccan music group cleverly named Mo’Rockin Project, and Redwood Brass, a four-trumpet, one-trombone quintet that mixes jazz and classical music.
The first time Bay Area trumpet master Khalil Shaheed listened to cassettes of North African melodies given to him by Moroccan singer and multi-instrumentalist Yassir Chadly, he had a sudden insight: “They ain’t playin’ nothin’ but the blues!” This revelation showed Shaheed the common ground that his own roots in jazz and blues shared with the soulful, ancient musical traditions of North Africa.
No matter where it comes from, great music can fortify the soul and bring people together. In the Mo’Rockin’ Project, a septet co-led by Shaheed and Chadly, the excitement of a funky horn section and heartfelt jazz improvisation unite with the sublime sounds of Islamic devotional music and traditional Arabic and African instruments. The result is a remarkable fusion that captures the essence of two cultures and delivers the best of both worlds, conjuring up “how Marvin Gaye might have sounded fronting Abdullah Ibrahim’s band” according to East Bay Express.
Without being overtly political, the energetic, funky music they create dispels misconceptions about American and Islamic traditions, and exemplifies the beauty that can be created when two cultures come together in the spirit of celebration, communication, and love. Describing the Mo’Rockin’ Project’s sound, bluesman Taj Mahal said it best: “There isn’t a vehicle made by man on Earth or space that can give you this beautiful a ride!”

John Russo, former Oakland and current San Leandro City Attorney Jayne Williams and the Oakland City Attorney office staffs’ criminal violations of the Civil Code, Business and Professions Code, the Rules of Professional Conduct, and the California Cannons strikes at the heart of al-Hakim’s fundamental civil and human rights, and the right to due process under the law guaranteed by the United States Constitution Amendments and the California Constitution. These actions qualify as a Hate Crime under the Unruh Rights Act, the Ralph Civil Rights Act and the Bane Act, while they are clear crimes of religious bigotry and intolerance, as such, this conduct rose to the level of consideration for a Federal Crime and a Civil Rights violation because the City Attorney’s Office operates “under the color of law” and certainly the violation of anyone’s civil rights is a federal crime. This deprivation of al-Hakim’s civil, human and due process rights by the law enforcement body of the City Attorneys’ office of Oakland “rise to the level of criminal activity and misconduct” by local and federal law enforcement officials. These criminal actions by Russo and his staff demand they be issued court ordered subpoena to testify.
3. The Liability and Damages:
The Parties have all failed and refused to provide the information sought by al-Hakim, and further failed and refused to appear under court ordered subpoena for deposition testimony twice and under court ordered subpoena for trial testimony and have caused al-Hakim and family to be forced from their $1 million plus home and office, foreclosed from an over $20 million law suit, and multi million business for 13 years thru the City Attorneys’ violation of the business and professional codes, extrinsic fraud, subornation of perjurious testimony, committing these acts under the color of law with unclean hands, and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

4. City Attorney, Defendants Perjurious Claim of Innocence
Since 1999 Oakland City Attorney John Russo, Mark Morodomi, Randy Hall, Janie Wong, Anita Hong, Sophia Li, Demetruis Shelton- current President of the National Bar Association, Elizabeth Allen, Erica Harrold, Michele Abney, Eliada Perez and the Oakland City Attorney’s Office has always maintained that the City of Oakland case file in the Abdul-Jalil al-Hakim vs. The City of Oakland matter from the 1991 backup were missing and were last requested for viewing by defendant Ron Cook.
For over eight (8) years CSAA defense counsel Stephan Barber had denied that he had anything to do with the handling, disappearance, transportation, having possession, copying or returning of the City of Oakland case file in the al-Hakim matter from the 1991 backup. He has repeatedly stated that he “never touched the file” and “knew nothing about it”.
In August 1, 2007 al-Hakim had the court issuance of trial subpoenas served on Retired Judges Lee, Michael Ballachey, and Richard Hodge, John Russo, Janie Wong and Anita Hong to submit to trial testimony beginning September 7, 2007 regarding the handling of the City file. (See Exhibit C) Demetruis Shelton, current President of the National Bar Association and City Attorney employee left a voicemail message for al-Hakim acknowledging that Russo had in fact received the Trial Subpoenas! A copy of that voice mail here. http://www.box.net/shared/88g62hzaky
The requested depositions and investigation concerns trial Judge David C. Lee’s allowance of the illegal product of fabricated and planted evidence, spoliated evidence and unclean hands by defendant/hostile intervener AAA Insurance; Cook and Willoughby, Stuart & Bening; defense counsel Steve Barber and the law firm of Ropers Majeski; the other underlying defendants; and the Oakland City Attorney’s Office run by John Russo to be admitted as evidence, subjected to testimony, and fostered it’s use to prejudice the jury. During the trial, testimony revealed that there were numerous documents and photos of a very damning nature to the defense and AAA as the hostile intervener, that were missing, altered, or incomplete. Retired Judges Lee, Michael Ballachey, and Richard Hodge, though they live in three different counties, all coincidentally hired the same Oakland defense firm run by former Oakland and current San Leandro City Attorney Jayne Williams whom was responsible for providing the files to the defendants initially that was then given to her client Judge Lee for trial by John Russo.
During the recent CSAA trial, in April 2008, defendant Ron Cook admitted on the witness stand that he received the City file from Barber before October 1999. Barber then admitted during the next break that he got the file from the City and arranged to have it copied by AKON Copying Service and that he had said file until June 2000. It was not stolen, misplaced, nor had he absconded with it, it was given to him by the City Attorneys office!!!
As a protective measure for his co-defendants, Judge Jon Tigar had ruled that Barber would have to testify and answer al-Hakim’s charges of spoliation of evidence and subornation of perjurious testimony stemming from his handling of the City file if there was more than one case file. If there was ever more than one case file, they were ALL missing and that fact was attributed to CSAA’s attorneys by the City Attorney. Clearly, Mr. Barber now has to leave the seat as defense counsel and take the stand as a witness and defendant! You can see video of Tigar’s ruling!
Cook and Barber’s admissions now corroborates the story that was told to al-Hakim and his attorneys Mike Michel and Jeff Fackler in July 2000 by Oakland City Attorney’s Janie Wong and Anita Hong. However, since 1999 Janie Wong, Anita Hong and Russo have always maintained that the files were missing and were last requested for viewing by defendant Ron Cook. This statement is also perjurious and deceitful as we now know that the December 1, 2005 written statement by Oakland City Attorney John Russo about Anita Hong leaving the case files at the office counter and no one coming to review them is willfully and intentionally perjurious, deceitful and fraudulent.
The City Attorney has failed and refused to effectively respond and such a non response, to ignore the fact that they have been caught in these illegal transgressions, reveals that John Russo and the City Attorney’s office was an accomplice to the breaking of the chain of custody of the evidence that was spoliated by the unclean hands of the hostile intervener, allowed the court to make the file a part of the record, and presented the fabricated evidence planted in the case files and spoliated evidence at trial. al-Hakim asserts that Russo’s and the City Attorney’s Office and the hostile intervener’s misconduct in connection with the Rescue case qualified for “unclean hands” as their actions meet the requirement that, to be considered as unclean hands, a party’s misbehavior must relate to the transaction in suit and to the adversary party.

5. Judge John Tigar’s Admission of Fabricated Evidence, Planted in Case Files Tainted, and Spoiled by the Hostile Intervener and the Oakland City Attorney
The only evidence produced by CSAA in their defense at trial during the al-Hakim vs. CSAA trial in April 2008 was the two fabricated notes allegedly from Pat Smith taken at the time of the occurrence of 1991 back up. There was no other evidence lodged with the court reflected in the minutes of the hearing. The hearing was held in al-Hakim’s noticed absence as he was attending a funeral after a second death during the trial of an over 40 year friend.
6. THE AUGUST 1999 CITY NOTE
al-Hakim had served a trial subpoena upon defendant Ron Cook to produce his entire case file at trial. Cook appeared at trial with less than 15 boxes of files claiming that these were the only ones he felt was responsive to the subpoena. Upon review of the files provided, it was clear that there were just many, many duplicates of the same documents copied over and over without there being any new information provided. al-Hakim had also subpoenaed Ronald J. Cook, Randy Willoughby, Alex Stuart, Bradley Bening and others of the law firm Willoughby, Stuart & Bening yet no one else appeared or provided their case files pursuant to the subpoena claiming that they knew nothing about the case and it was Cook’s alone as an unsupervised “independent contractor”.
During a review of Cooks files in the court room while trial was recessed for a week, al-Hakim found a document in Ron Cook’s copies of the City of Oakland files which was a note entitled “Al-Hakim v. C/O (92416)” with two bates stamp numbers 001323 and 000002 (See one page note under Exhibit C) that was discovered on April 2, 2008 during trial subject to subpoena. This document apparently states a list of “documents not provided to council requesting file”, and further mentions “Attorney-Client and work product documents”. These notes clearly address:1) conversations between and a one page memo from EFA (City Attorney Elizabeth Allen) to RWH (City Attorney Randy Hall) and former City Attorney employee Pat Smith on August 27, 1999- SIX YEARS AFTER Smith was fired by the City;
2) another conversation between and a one page memo from EFA (City Attorney Elizabeth Allen) to former City Attorney employee Pat Smith on August 27, 1999- SIX YEARS AFTER Smith was fired by the City;
3) Two pages of hand-written notes from JWW (City Attorney Jayne W. Williams) to RWH (City Attorney Randy Hall) and former City Attorney employee Pat Smith on September 3, 1999- SIX YEARS AFTER Smith was fired by the City;
4) Undated, one page hand-written note from JLW (City Attorney Janie L. Wong) to persons unknown;
5) Undated, one page hand-written note from former City Attorney employee Pat Smith SIX YEARS AFTER Smith was fired by the City to EFA (City Attorney Elizabeth Allen);
6) Two pages of undated, unaddressed, nondescript notes for placement into the City file.
For years al-Hakim has asked for answers to the illuminating question of “Where are the rest of Pat Smith’s alleged City case file notes allegedly taken contemporaneously during her two years of involvement from 1991-1993 in this case?”. There was never any answer because there were no notes other than the two pages of notes (See two pages of notes under Exhibit C) that were fabricated and planted into the City file after August 1999 by the Oakland City Attorney’s mentioned herein and at the behest of the defense attorney Stephan Barber.
Deputy defense-counsel Judge Jon Tigar had ruled in pre-trail conference that Pat Smith’s notes would be admitted as evidence despite the fact that he noted that Judge David Lee had ruled them inadmissible in the Rescue trial. This is inconsistent with his ruling of all the previous orders of other judges relative to this case, no matter how remote, would prevail in this case and remain in full effect as he ruled on them and cited the prior judges ruling. Perhaps more revealing is that ALL those orders that he ruled on with the alleged support of previous judges orders were ALL against al-Hakim’s interest. During pre-trial conference al-Hakim had stated to the court that the defendants could not and would not produce any of the witnesses from the Rescue trial and none would appear at this trial because they all were known to have committed perjury. During the trial Defense counsel Barber stated to the court that he had tried to locate Pat Smith at the City of San Francisco but she no longer worked there and requested of the court that Pat Smith be allowed to testify through her notes and the Rescue transcript. al-Hakim raised the issue that the defendants had not provided any proof of their efforts to locate and serve Smith and alleging that they merely tried to reach her at her former place of employment was not enough. Tigar stated that he had read the Rescue trial testimony and notes of Pat Smith and would allow the transcript and her notes to be admitted as evidence if there was agreement that she would not appear as a witness. There was never any agreement between the parties on her not appearing as a witness and though Tigar knew there was no such agreement, Tigar admitted her testimony and notes into evidence at trial on August 6, 2008 while al-Hakim was absent attending a funeral for a second death during the trial.
7. Oakland City Attorney Was Aware At All Times Whom Had The Files And Why
Oakland City File Note Refutes Defendants Recision Claim!
This evidence proves that the Oakland City Attorney’s Office knew at all times that defendants CSAA, Ron Cook and defense counsel Stephan Barber had the case files, that they provided the case files to them, that Pat Smith’s notes were clearly constructed in fraud and planted in the case files by the Oakland City Attorney’s Jayne Williams, Randy Hall, Elizabeth Allen, Eliada Perez, Janie Wong, Anita Hong, and former Senior Investigator Pat Smith at the behest of defendants CSAA, Ron Cook, defense counsel Stephan Barber, and underlying defendants Rescue Rooter with their counsel William Jemmott and Bay Area Carpets with their counsel Todd Jones. al-Hakim has previously served several deposition and trial subpoenas on ALL the parties named above and they have all failed to appear every time.
Since Pat Smith was terminated from the al-Hakim v. City of Oakland case for lying, fraud, and presenting false evidence before it was settled in September 1993 and she was fired from Oakland City employment shortly thereafter in 1994, there is no logical reason for her to have had such close and alleged privileged contact, conversations, and the sending and receiving of documents between her and Oakland City Attorneys Jayne Williams, Randy Hall, Elizabeth Allen, Eliada Perez, Janie Wong, Anita Hong in August 1999- SIX YEARS AFTER she was fired by the City of Oakland. As she said at the Rescue trial while being examined by Rescue defense counsel William Jemmott under oath she “required her notes to respond to questions” because she could not remember what lies she had to testify to without them. The notes she previously alleged to have “created those notes at or near the time of the event as part of her claims file” is simply untrue. Her notes and testimony is why the defendants could not and would not ever produce her for testimony at trial and Oakland City Attorneys John Russo, Jayne Williams, Randy Hall, Elizabeth Allen, Eliada Perez, Janie Wong, Anita Hong could not and would not ever appear for testimony at deposition or trial in this or the underlying case.
8. Jayne W. Williams
Retired Judges Lee, Michael Ballachey, and Richard Hodge, though they live in three different counties, all coincidentally hired the same Oakland defense firm, Meyers Nave, run by former Oakland and current San Leandro City Attorney Jayne Williams whom was responsible for providing the files to the defendants initially that was then given to her client Judge Lee for trial by John Russo. (See July 26, 2006 letter from Kim Colwell under Exhibit B)
al-Hakim was stumped for years trying to find “Jane Williams” and was unsuccessful until recently while attending a Oscar Grant Town Hall meeting someone mentioned the Meyers Nave report on the abuses of the BART police in his murder and the general professional and ethical nature of the force. Curious about the alleged findings, al-Hakim did a web search and was surprised to find out that the principle of Meyers Nave and the City Attorney of San Leandro was none other than “Jayne Williams”! From there he found her active in many investigative roles as the finder of fact in case involving high level, high profile, governmental crimes.
Jayne Williams is the managing principal of Meyers Nave and the current City Attorney for the City of San Leandro. While at Meyers Nave, Jayne has served as City Attorney to the City of Suisun City and as Interim City Attorney for the Cities of Stockton and Merced.
Recently, Ms. Williams was retained as part of the Meyers Nave team selected by the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) to conduct a confidential internal affairs investigation of the officer-involved shooting death of Oscar Grant. This New Year’s Day incident gained public attention throughout the Bay Area and the nation, and sparked protests that extended for a number of weeks following the shooting. The investigation reviewed the actions of the police officers who were involved in the incident to determine any potential misconduct.
As reported in The San Jose Business Journal’s, Jayne Williams, and Meyers Nave were retained by San Jose Evergreen Community College District Board of Trustees to conduct an independent investigation into the allegations of financial and administrative improprieties by Chancellor Rosa Perez. In November 2009 these allegations were reported in three KGO news telecasts and a San Jose Mercury News article. Because of the significant public interest and attention generated by these news reports, the District Board decided that an independent investigation should be conducted and that the investigation report should be made available to the public, to the extent legally permissible. The investigation team, led by Jayne Williams, conducted a five-month investigation into the various allegations and produced a comprehensive report with findings, recommendations and conclusions that was released by the District to the public at a news conference on May 21, 2010.
Their website proudly boasts “Meyers Nave routinely represents public agencies in high profile internal investigations such as this investigation for San Jose Evergreen Community College District and the investigation conducted by attorneys Jayne Williams and Kimberly Colwell on behalf of BART into the actions of all the officers present during the New Year’s Day shooting death of Oscar Grant. For more information on this investigation or for assistance with internal investigations, please contact Jayne Williams at 800.464.3559.”
“Attorneys at Meyers Nave understand these pressures. In fact, we have earned our reputation by helping public officials find creative solutions to financial, regulatory and legal issues. Our extensive knowledge of all areas of municipal law — coupled with hands-on experience in negotiating and litigating — allows us to cut to the core of most issues and resolve them quickly.”
“Our clients include a number of California’s most forward thinking cities, towns, counties and redevelopment agencies. Our attorneys work closely with public officials — council members, city managers, planning directors, public works directors, finance directors and risk managers — to help manage and optimize programs and initiatives.”

The entire history of jazz piano resides in the fingers of Marcus Roberts. From the rags and stomps of the early 20th century and the two-fisted stride of Depression era Harlem rent parties to the cascading horn-like runs of bebop and the dancing dynamics of Ahmad Jamal and Oscar Peterson, Roberts has devised a keyboard approach that encompasses just about every development in the mainstream jazz tradition. This stylistic breadth is a remarkable achievement in itself, but what makes Roberts such a singular figure is that he’s translated his ambitious concept into a group setting with his long-time trio featuring bassist Roland Guerin and drummer Jason Marsalis (the youngest of illustrious New Orleans siblings). Their recent release, New Orleans Meets Harlem, showcases the group’s expansive reach, infusing the work of Ellington, Joplin, Monk and Fats Waller with vigorous new life. Quite simply, this is one of the most electrifying and erudite ensembles in jazz.
“Roberts offers something old and new together, making his art powerfully original and compelling.” The New York Times
“Marcus Roberts demonstrates his technical virtuosity and passionate intelligence in impressive fashion. And yes, with soul.” Time Magazine

Famous for his generous musical spirit, performances by multi-Grammy-winning saxophonist Branford Marsalis shine with both originality and technical brilliance. He shares the evening with 2010 Grammy-winner Trumpeter Terence Blanchard, known for his superb songwriting and playing skills. Expect an evening of modern jazz that’s both respects tradition and innovation and shines with improvisation and technical brilliance. They come to Cal Performances on a double bill with their respective ensembles — the Branford Marsalis Quartet (Branford Marsalis, saxophone; Eric Revis, bass; Joey Calderazzo, piano; Justin Faulkner, drums) and the Terence Blanchard Group (Terence Blanchard, trumpet; Brice Winston, tenor saxophonist; Fabian Almazan, pianist; Kendrick Scott, drums; Joshua Crumbly, bass).

Potential risk of dengue and chikungunya outbreaks in northern Italy based on a population model of Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae)
The rapid invasion and spread of Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894) within new continents and climatic ranges has created favorable conditions for the emergence of tropical arboviral diseases in the invaded areas. We used mosquito abundance data from 2014 collected across ten sites in northern Italy to calibrate a population model for Aedes albopictus and estimate the potential of imported human cases of chikungunya or dengue to generate the condition for their autochthonous transmission in the absence of control interventions. The model captured intra-year seasonality and heterogeneity across sites in mosquito abundance, based on local temperature patterns and the estimated site-specific mosquito habitat suitability. A robust negative correlation was found between the latter and local late spring precipitations, indicating a possible washout effect on larval breeding sites. The model predicts a significant risk of chikungunya outbreaks in most sites if a case is imported between the beginning of summer and up to mid-November, with an average outbreak probability between 4.9% and 25%, depending on the site. A lower risk is predicted for dengue, with an average probability between 4.2% and 10.8% for cases imported between mid-July and mid-September. This study shows the importance of an integrated entomological and medical surveillance for the evaluation of arboviral disease risk, which is a precondition for designing cost-effective vector control programs.

Columbus Gold Announces Additional Drilling Results from Montagne d'Or Including 7.35 g/t Gold over 7.8 Meters; Second Drill Rig in Transit
Vancouver, BC, Canada, April 30, 2014. Columbus Gold Corporation (CGT: TSX-V) (“Columbus Gold”) reports on the progress of the Phase II diamond drilling campaign currently underway at its Montagne d’Or gold deposit, Paul Isnard Project, French Guiana.
Forty-seven (47) drill holes (106 to 152) have been completed, for a total of 5,900 metres, as part as of a 26,600 metre (135 holes) drilling program. In addition, six (6) large diameter HQ-calibre core holes (1,000 m) were completed for detailed metallurgical testing as part of a preliminary economic assessment study (PEA). A second track-mounted diamond drill rig has been shipped from Canada and is expected to arrive on site in May with the aim of completing the Phase II program in September.
The holes drilled to date in the current program are short holes at the northern base of the Montagne d’Or deposit, designed to test the near surface projection of the secondary Lower Favorable Zone (“LFZ”) and Footwall Zone (“FWZ”). Some of the holes were collared into the principal Upper Felsic Zone (“UFZ”) to reach the LFZ. All holes intersected sulphide-gold mineralised intervals.
Gold assay results were previously released for 18 holes (106 to 123) and results have been received for an additional 18 holes (124 to 141). Notable intersections received in the 18 holes include:
Drill Hole
(True Width - “TW”)
MO-14-124 48.0 to 67.2 m 1.59 g/t gold over 19.2 m (14.7 m TW)
M0-14-125 52.4 to 65.5 m 2.25 g/t gold over 13.1 m (10.0 m TW)
105.0 to 112.8 m 7.35 g/t gold over 7.8 m (6.2 m TW)
MO-14-127 80.0 to 90.0 m 5.28 g/t gold over 10.0 m (7.8 m TW)
MO-14-132 7.7 to 37.0 m 0.94 g/t gold over 29.3 m (23.1 m TW)
44.4 to 47.0 m 6.22 g/t gold over 3.0 m (2.4 m TW)
MO-14-137 117.1 to 123.0 m 4.42 g/t gold over 6.0 m (4.7 m TW)
Highlights of the new results include:
The intersections in holes 124, 125 and 127 have extended the LFZ over a strike extent of 200 metres to the west and the zone remains open in that direction;
The intersections in holes 132, 134 and 135 and 137 served to better define a well-mineralised section of the LFZ located in the east-central part of the Montagne d’Or deposit;
The intersection in hole 141 has opened-up the potential to extend the LFZ to the east and the zone remains open in that direction.
A drill plan and full assay results are available at the following links:
www.columbusgoldcorp.com/i/nr/2014-04-30_drillplan.pdf
www.columbusgoldcorp.com/i/nr/2014-04-30_assays.pdf
The drilling is being funded by Nord Gold N.V. as part of a 3 year minimum US$30 million exploration and development program pursuant to which Nord Gold can earn a 50.01% interest in Montagne d’Or and certain Paul Isnard mineral claims, by completing a bankable feasibility study.
The Montagne d’Or deposit contains a NI 43-101 compliant inferred gold resource using a cut-off grade of 0.3 grams per tonne gold of 5.37 million ounces within 117.1 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.43 grams per tonne gold. The resources are defined within a gold mineralized area of 2,250 meters by 400 meters and to an average depth of 250 meters from surface. The mineralized zones remain open in part along strike and at depth.
The objectives of the Phase II drilling program are to:
complete a 50-meter spacing array to a vertical depth of 200 meters from surface, and select 25-meter in-fill, focused on mineralisation potentially amenable to open pit mining;
internally increase current mineralized tonnage;
increase confidence in the gold grade-width distribution;
convert inferred resources to the indicated category in accordance with NI 43-101 standards;
acquire a better distribution of copper assays for added value to the deposit.
Qualified Person, Technical Info and QA/QC
Diamond drill holes were bored with HQ-size core in the upper oxidized saprolitic zone and NQ size core in fresh rock. The core was placed in plastic core boxes with covers and delivered by the drilling contractor, Performax Drilling Inc., a Canadian company with qualified personnel, to the Citron camp logging facilities, located 5 km from Montagne d’Or. Columbus Gold personnel are present at the camp at all times during the drilling program.
The core was photographed for reference, logged (geotechnical and geological) and identified sulphide mineralised sections were sawed in half. Sample lengths vary between 0.5 to 1.5 metres. Individual half core samples were placed in canvas bags and sealed by batch of 9 samples in polypropylene bags for air transport to the Cayenne and trucking to Filab Amsud laboratory in Paramaribo, Suriname, an ISO 9001 and ISO / IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. The remaining half core is stored in core racks on site at Citron camp for reference. Samples were assayed for gold by fire-assay method using an atomic absorption finish on a 50-gram pulp split.
A quality assurance and quality control program (QA/QC) was implemented by Columbus Gold and Filab Amsud to insure the accuracy and reproducibility of the analytical method and results are maintained. The QA/QC program includes the insertion of standards, blanks and field duplicates in each laboratory assay batch and systematic re-assaying of samples returning values above 5 g/t Au by the fire-assay method using a gravimetric finish on a 50-gram pulp split. As well, 10% of random sample pulps are sent to SGS del Peru S.A.C. laboratory for gold check assaying.
The drilling program is being conducted under the supervision of Rock Lefrançois, P.Geo. (OGQ), Chief Operating Officer for Columbus Gold and Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Lefrançois, the Qualified Person, has reviewed this news release and is responsible for the technical information reported herein, including verification of the data disclosed.

Flowers for Mother’s Day
May 8, 2010 January 4, 2011 / oncealittlegirl
One time Mom asked me who I would want for a mother if I didn’t have her. Right off I said my best friend Connie’s mother, then I stopped and thought about it a minute. Nope, I only wanted Connie’s mom so I could live with Connie. Connie’s mom was terrible about putting pony tails in Connie’s hair; Mom could put my hair back in a pony tail neat enough to stay all day long. Connie’s hair was always coming loose and sticking out all wild-looking. Not Annette’s mom that’s for sure. She was good at sewing and cooked food from the old country, like nobody’s business, but she was super strict, and probably would make me stop wearing shorts in the summertime; Annette never got to wear shorts. Betty’s mom knew a whole lot about other people, but if I lived with Betty, I’d get a big sister and a big brother; one big sister was enough for me to keep up with. I told Mom I guessed I better stick with her.
“Hmmm,” was all Mom had to say to that and she got a look on her face like she did when she was studying a new dress pattern and wanted to make sure she got it right, ’cause she hated to tear stitches out.
Sunday was Mother’s Day, and me and Bonita had our eyes on the lilacs. Not full bloom yet, but about half-way. Close enough. I got dressed fast and hurried up Bonita and Vickie, so we could get outside before Mom noticed.
“Where’re you going?” Deanna hissed at me, as she was brushing her teeth.
“To get some lilacs for Mother’s Day.” I said.
“Mom said not to pick those flowers unless they were fully bloomed.” Deanna shifted her weight to one side and put her hand on her hip. She spit out her baking soda and salt solution like she was mad at the sink. We didn’t use toothpaste ever since Dad said no matter what he did, us kids wouldn’t squeeze from the bottom, and toothpaste was too expensive to waste, and besides that, baking soda and salt are the best for teeth, which was probably true, ’cause my teeth really sparkled. Anyway, Deanna sure did look like Mom standing there, looking down at me, like I already should know better. That just made me more determined to get those lilacs.
I could smell lilac all around me as soon as I stepped out on the back porch. The sunshine made the grass all dazzly and the dandelions looked just like baby suns, all shining and happy looking, so I sent Vickie to pick a bunch, while Bonita and I tackled the lilacs, and grabbed some mustard flowers from behind the Brooder House. We had to work together to get the lilacs, ’cause the flowers were way up high; so I pulled the branches down, and Bonita ripped the flowers off. That was pretty tough, but we managed to get a giant armful. Mom was gonna love these. Some of the branches stayed down, but the lilac bush had a lot of branches still sticking straight up, so I was pretty sure Mom would never notice. Then we all went to the side of our house to top our bouquet off with some white quince. Now that was super-fun, ’cause we called those bushes ‘snow bushes’. The flowers were just right for shaking. I got Vickie to sit underneath and Bonita and I just shook and shook, and made those flower petals snow down all around Vickie, sticking in her blond hair and all over her dress. She looked up at us with her blue eyes dancing, reaching her hands up and laughing up at us. That was keen as keen can be. We almost forgot we were getting a bouquet for Mother’s Day.
“Bonita and Adela, where are you?” Mom called from the back porch. Almost always when she called like that, it meant me and Bonita were close to trouble or already there, so we high-tailed it to the house. For sure, Vickie was safe, she was too little and innocent to be in any trouble.
“Look at you,” Mom said. That’s when I saw those sick yellow-green dandelion streaks all over Vickie’s dress, making it look like she puked all over herself, plus her socks were all wet and muddy looking sticking out of her pretty Sunday sandals, with old flower petals stuck all over them and in her dress too.
Mom clicked her tongue in the back of her mouth, and she smiled at us, but it looked kind of like she pasted that smile on her face, ’cause her eyes looked droopy like mine felt just before I cried after somebody hurts my feelings, and she moved around fast and jerky, like she did when she was a little bit mad about being late. Plus, Loren lost his shoes again, and Deanna was scurrying around looking for them. As soon as Bonita and I heard that, we started pulling toys out of the toy box, ’cause for some reason, Loren was always putting his shoes in there, and no one sat still when Mom was looking for something and it was time to go to church, ’cause any minute she might have one of her screaming banshee fits, and nobody wanted that, especially on Mother’s Day.
When it was time for Father Wishmaier to tell us what the Bible story meant, he changed up his mind, and just told us about how we should be good to our mothers instead. Everybody in the world knew that, nobody needs to say it. But that day, he said something that stuck with me. Father said we should be good to our mothers, because if we don’t, we’ll have two kids just like us when we grow up. After church, I asked Mom if she was bad when she was a kid and if she thought I was her punishment, and if I was, did that mean I would still have two kids like me, or if I was off the hook. She just rolled her eyes over to Dad and said, “I’d like to figure out how your mind comes up with the things you do,” and she pretended to be disgusted with me, but I could see by the way her eyes danced that she was feeling more like when I came home with my report cards and had all A’s.
By the time we got home, the lilacs were all droopy in the vase Mom put them in, and the dandelions were hanging their heads down resting against the sides, looking sad and almost dead; only the wild mustard flowers still stood at attention, looking all happy to be in the house and where people could see them. When Grandma got there, she said, “Look at these, don’t they just make the house smell so good. I bet the Magpies picked those for you.”
“The loveliest centerpiece a Mother’s Day table ever had.” Mom said, and this time I could tell her smile was for real.
In the years since I’ve seen some Mother’s Days almost exactly like that one when I was a little girl. The one that sticks in my memory the clearest is when my oldest plucked all my tulips and held them out to me with gleeful anticipation with dirt and bulbs still hanging from the limp stems. If I could choose anyone in the world to be my Mom, I would still choose her. If I was her punishment, I’m sure by now, she’s more than earned her way into heaven with her love, her restraint and her wisdom. She’s the best Mom a little girl, or a big girl could ever want.

Oh, to live those days again! At the time it seems as though the muddy socks, dirty dresses and the hectic time it took to get everyone ready again for church stood out the most in a mother’s mind. It was difficult to truly appreciate the “beautiful” centerpiece and all the love that went into it. But all but the LOVE is forgotten when we take time “to smell the roses” On second thought, I wouldn’t want to live those days again since you reminded me of the muddy socks and dirty dresses and being late for church. I probably still would have a banshee fit, I’d rather just look back and remember the love.
oncealittlegirl
I’m with you all the way. It takes being a Mom to understand a Mom.
What a beautiful story. Your mom was also very talented in picking out names. I love Adela and Bonita. Very pretty!
My dad picked the girls’ names: Deanna, Adela, Bonita, Vickie, Julia, and Marcia. Lots of Spanish names in there for a Heinz57 pedigree. I joked that he must have been in Spain during the War!

Ninni Holmqvist
A chilling and gripping dystopian novel set in near-future Sweden
9781780747217 (5 Apr 2018)
‘I liked The Unit very much... I know you will be riveted, as I was.' Margaret Atwood
‘Echoing work by Marge Piercy and Margaret Atwood, The Unit is as thought-provoking as it is compulsively readable.' Jessica Crispin, NPR.org
Ninni Holmqvist's eerie dystopian novel envisions a society in the not-so-distant future where men and women deemed economically worthless are sent to a retirement community called the Unit. With lavish apartments set amongst beautiful gardens and state-of-the-art facilities, elaborate gourmet meals, and wonderful music and art, they are free of financial worries and want for nothing. It's an idyllic place, but there's a catch: the residents - known as dispensables - must donate their organs, one by one, until the final donation. When Dorrit Weger arrives at the Unit, she resigns herself to this fate, seeking only peace in her final days. But she soon falls in love, and this unexpected, improbable happiness throws the future into doubt.
Clinical and haunting, The Unit is a modern-day classic and a spine-chilling cautionary tale about the value of human life.
Ninni Holmqvist lives in Skåne, Sweden. She is the author of three short-story collections, including Kostym (Suit), and two novels. She also works as a translator.
‘A haunting, deadpan tale set vaguely in the Scandinavian future… Holmqvist's spare prose interweaves the Unit's pleasures and cruelties with exquisite matter-of-factness... Readers actually begin to wonder…is life better as a pampered lab bunny or as a lonely indigent? But then [Holmqvist] turns the screw, presenting a set of events so miraculous and abominable that they literally made me gasp.'
‘I liked The Unit very much... I know you will be riveted, as I was.'
- Margaret Atwood
‘The message is bold if not on the nose: If you don't fall into a classic nuclear family, then your value as a human are the spare parts you can give those who do contribute to traditional family structures. The book's main character, a writer named Dorrit, is forced to think about the meaning of her life. She'd had a lover, but he wouldn't leave his wife; she'd birthed art, but never a child. Holmqvist's writing is clear and precise…the clinical tone contributes to the The Unit's eeriness. The Unit itself is a place of luxury - amenities include a library, a cafe, immaculately manicured gardens - but it feels as much like home to Dorrit as the promotional photos of an upscale condo. Holmqvist's is a book of quiet cruelty, and perhaps the most harrowing twist of all is that the world outside the walls of the Unit - one with married couples, one with children - seems even worse. In that way, The Unit's strength is uncovering beauty in bleakness.'
- GQ
‘This haunting first novel imagines a nation in which men and women who haven't had children by a certain age are taken to a "reserve bank unit for biological material” and subjected to various physical and psychological experiments, while waiting to have their organs harvested for "needed” citizens in the outside world... Holmqvist evocatively details the experiences of a woman who falls in love with another resident, and at least momentarily attempts to escape her fate.'
- The New Yorker
‘Clinical and haunting, The Unit is a modern-day classic and a spine-chilling cautionary tale about the value of human life.'
- Waterstones
‘Holmqvist paces her revelations superbly and the reader is gripped by the atmosphere of slowly mounting claustrophobia.'
- New Internationalist
‘Holmqvist handles her dystopia with muted, subtle care… Neither satirical nor polemical, The Unit manages to express a fair degree of moral outrage without ever moralizing…it has enough spooks to make it a feminist, philosophical page-turner.'
- Time Out Chicago
‘This dystopian world is described with such exquisite balance between its luxuries and cruelties that the reader is emotionally drawn in and made to face up to often uncomfortable and challenging ethical dilemmas. I cannot recommend this novel, nor signal Holmqvist's evident talent as an author strongly enough; it is an excellent book.'
- What's On UK?
‘Ninni Holmqvist's The Unit offers a shrewd, timely exploration of gender… The novel has been compared to The Handmaid's Tale, but where Margaret Atwood's classic focuses on procreation, Holmqvist's novel feels broader, holding both capitalism and traditional gender roles under a harsh light. Dorrit is honest about her life, and she wonders whether the freedom she had in her youth was worth the price she pays now. Any woman - young or old - will relate to her plight.'
‘[A] chilling, stunning debut novel… Holmqvist's fluid, mesmerizing novel offers unnerving commentary on the way society devalues artistic creation while elevating procreation, and speculation on what it would be like if that was taken to an extreme. For Orwell and Huxley fans.'
‘Orwellian horrors in a Xanadu on Xanax - creepily profound and most provocative.'
‘An exploration of female desire, human need, and the purpose of life.'
‘I found this one riveting from start to finish. It could happily find a place on school reading lists alongside Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. Chilling, humorous, poignant, thought-provoking, and immensely readable, this is perfect reading-group material which cannot fail to provoke discussion.'
- New Books
‘Beautifully haunting… This is one of the best books I've read over the past two years… Thought-provoking and emotionally-moving, The Unit is a book you'll be discussing with others long after you're done reading it.'
- Orlando Sentinel
‘Savagely dystopian…remarkably deft.'
- Barnes and Noble Review
‘Ninni Holmqvist's book The Unit, newly reissued, imagines a world in which people who haven't procreated are forced to make a different - ultimate - contribution to society... The Unit feels like an inversion of Margaret Atwood's Gilead, where fertile women are forcibly impregnated under biblical sanction. Here, the justification for horror - the extraction of human tissue from the childfree - is secular, a capitalist democracy demanding its toll... The Unit contains elements that echo a number of different speculative and dystopian works. The domed environment and omnipresent cameras seem to predict Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games trilogy; the prospect of forcible organ donation brings to mind Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go... Holmqvist's intention isn't realism - it's to unravel and critique assumptions about the meaning of life. Is it criminal, she wonders, to live a quiet life dedicated only to self-actualization? Do artists who never achieve greatness have value? Does every citizen have a responsibility to contribute to their society? In exploring such questions, Holmqvist takes liberal assumptions about Scandinavian paternalism versus American individualism and flips them upside down... Holmqvist's writing is spare in style, elegantly succinct, but the layers of the world she's created are manifold. Other dystopian stories like The Handmaid's Tale might seem particularly chilling in a moment when democracy feels like it's under threat, but The Unit is haunting in its assertion that democracy itself isn't enough. The tyranny of popular sentiment can be just as dangerous, Holmqvist argues, presenting scene after scene of intelligent, compassionate citizens indoctrinated into doubting their own worth.'
- TheAtlantic.com
‘Echoing work by Marge Piercy and Margaret Atwood, The Unit is as thought-provoking as it is compulsively readable.'
- NPR
‘A remarkably thought-provoking novel.'
- Reading Matters
‘This Swedish novel imagines a dystopian future for the childless in which literally offering pieces of yourself is a legitimate contribution to society… Not only is it an intimate portrait of creative, single individuals coming to terms with a graphic and imminent death, but their apparent willingness to accept it for the good of others... This begs the question: what does it mean to be a good citizen? To whom are we ultimately responsible? How do we, as well as our society, measure worth? What is the value of one life or the cost of another?'
- Buzz Magazines
‘The Unit raises issues of love, gender, freedom, and social mores through the perspective of how we assess an individual's contribution to society… Holmqvist's ability to invest the reader in both the story and the characters is exceptional. It is a book you hesitate to put down… The Unit deserves a wide readership.'
- Blogcritics.org
‘For a debut novel I thought it was stunning.'
- Bookbag
Margaret Atwood has a line on the cover, and no surprise - this dystopian tale of childless men and women relocated in middle age to "a reserve bank unit for biological material” rivals The Handmaid's Tale for a weirdly believable future in which the childless support families with children giving up parts of their bodies until, at last, they make their "final donation” and disappear altogether. The reasonableness of this system feels very Scandinavian, certainly very Canadian... Holmqvist has written the sci-fi novel of our narcissistic era, when many people choose to focus on themselves and their art (Dorrit, the heroine of this novel, is a literary fiction writer) or their career over marriage and family. Not being needed by others is a boon when one is young but a death sentence for the middle aged.'
- Hudson Review
‘Like Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, this novel imagines a chilling dystopia: single, childless, midlife women are considered dispensable. At 50 the narrator, Dorrit, is taken to a facility where non-vital organs will be harvested one by one for people more valued by society; she knows that eventually she'll have to sacrifice something essential like her heart. Dorrit accepts her fate - until she falls in love and finds herself breaking the rules.'
- More Magazine
‘The Unit rattled me in a way few dystopian novels have… It's a story that will stick with me.'
- shelflove.wordpress.com
‘Holmqvist gives us a lesson in human nature and social engineering through a story that is spare, compelling, and all too human.'
- Psychiatric Services
‘The power of The Unit is its subtlety. Highly recommended.'
- Readmorebooks.wordpress.com
‘Compelling, chilling in spots, and at times heartbreaking.'
- Flashlight Worthy

Your letters for Thursday, May 5: More on LeBreton Flats

Rendering for LeBreton Flats $3.5 billion development proposal by RendezVous Group, dubbed IllumiNATION LeBreton. RendezVous LeBreton
Will it be more than mediocre?
Re: NCC goes smaller, safer with its LeBreton Plans, April 29.
Your letters for Thursday, May 5: More on LeBreton Flats Back to video
David Reevely’s article qualified the newly approved LeBreton plans as “better to be second-rate than vacant.” Unfortunately it captures the spirit of Ottawa’s planning approach perfectly.
My home of 45 years overlooks LeBreton Flats. In the ‘90s, a visitor from Poland who did not speak a word of English walked onto my balcony and, at the view of the wide green space of the then-rejuvenated LeBreton Flats and the Ottawa River, took in a deep breath and expressed in one word what we all felt and understood: “Panorama!” She was mesmerized by the view and the green space so close to Parliament Hill. The consensus was that the locale was a perfect jewel.
As talk of the Flats redevelopment started, residents whose homes overlooked the green expanse of land feared the worst. In 2002, I purchased an original painting by Ottawa artist Ben Babelowsky of the Flats as they were then, guessing that their beauty and purpose would soon be lost. History has proven me right.
Now, when visitors come from faraway places, I show them the painting as the reason we purchased our home. Of course, nostalgia always makes things seem better than they were but when I gaze off my balcony today, I cannot help but regret most of the planning decisions made so far in redeveloping the site.
Let’s hope and pray that decision-makers, as well as developers such as Eugene Melnyk, truly love this city and are not only driven by profit or real-estate intensification goals. Concrete plans for LeBreton Flats should not solely be based on cement.
SuzAnne Dore, Ottawa
Bring on the tax subsidies?
The ink is barely dry on the decision to award the LeBreton project to the Melnyk group when the public purse is to be opened. We are told that the taxpayers will be footing a bill of up to $300 million to clean up the site for the arena and surroundings. We can be sure that the developers will expect many millions more by way of “public participation” with dubious promises of “public participation” in the profits. As we all know, most studies conclude that taxpayers/communities seldom, if ever, realize the promised benefits from “investing” in sports arenas.
D.M. Macpherson, Kanata
And bring on the waterpark
Re: South-end waterpark finally moving ahead, developer says, April 29.
If Ottawa is seriously being considered as a contender for a world-class Waterpark and all its pleasurable trappings, then all I have to say is, “Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and wishes do come true.”
Monica Duguid, Stittsville
When music becomes noise
Re: Letters to the editor, April 30.
Like Alan Gillmor, I find the constant invasion of unwanted “music/noise” in public spaces hard to live with. There seems to be a widely accepted assumption that background music is what all of us want, wherever we might be. A lot of people seem uncomfortable as soon as quietness sneaks into normal life.
It’s as if we had been trained since birth to think that our life, like a movie, needs constant accompaniment. And depending on how frustrated or angry our life’s “movie plot” gets, loudness can block the mind from dealing with it.
My taste in music is enjoyably universal, but my sense of place and occasion for it, is an ongoing problem.
Don MacMillan, Ottawa
Break your silence, Senator
Re: Sen. Mike Duffy returns to Parliament Hill, May 3.
While it was both reasonable and understandable for Sen. Mike Duffy to remain silent during his criminal trial, it is now inappropriate for him to decline to speak to the media. Duffy’s salary and perks are entirely funded by the taxpayers, and we have every right to hear what he has to say on issues of the day. His refusal to inform us through the media, or in any other way, is entirely unjustified.
The silence of the Duff needs to end.
David Polk, Ottawa

Tagged: Pitching staff
#4 – Pitching Performances
As Spring Training nears, we come to number 4 on the countdown of my top 5 things to look forward to in this upcoming season.
4. Pitching Performances
Over the past few seasons, the Nationals have acquired a pitching staff which, when pitching at its full potential, is unrivaled in the National League. However, there were the key words: when pitching at its full potential. Young phenom Stephen Strasburg had his struggles last season in his first full year since coming back from Tommy John surgery. Gio Gonzalez showed spots of brilliance while also faltering at points, and finished the season with an 11-8 record. The pick-up of Dan Haren late in the offseason did not play out nearly to the hopes of GM Mike Rizzo. He struggled mightily the entire first half of the season before regaining some sort of success for a couple stretches following the All-Star break. Haren stumbled to a 10-14 record in his first, and what would be his only, season as a National. To his credit, he did come up big at certain points, such as getting a save in a marathon extra inning game in Atlanta, but his struggles ended up outweighing his successes. Even Ross Detwiler, the team’s fifth starter, fought the injury bug for much of the season.
The Nationals’ gem in the starting rotation during the 2013 season came in the form of Jordan Zimmermann. He pitched his way to an outstanding 19-9 record, including a complete game 2 hit shut-out; a marvel of a game I was fortunate enough to witness in person. He was also one of the two Nationals players selected to the National League All-Star team, along with Bryce Harper. Hopefully, Zimmermann’s successes last season will carry over into this year.
The bullpen also produced some pleasant surprises during 2013. Rookie Tanner Roark (Row-ark) burst onto the Major League scene by finishing the season with a 7-1 record and shining in clutch situations. Drew Storen never completely regained his pitching form after the devastating loss in Game 5 of the 2012 NLDS and spent a period of time at AAA Syracuse. New closer Rafael Soriano, another one of Rizzo’s offseason signings, untucked his jersey 43 times (Soriano emphatically untucks his jersey after earning a save). We will see how newly aquired Jerry Blevlins performs out of the bullpen in his first season as a National.
Who will the surprises be this season? Will the starting rotation live up to its expectations? How will the bullpen handle the long season?
Worst Case Scenario:
Stephen Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez struggle through the season and do not pitch with much consistency. Zimmermann must once again hold down the rotation on his own and the rotation’s back end of Fister and Detwiler do not anchor it enough to fulfill expectations. Mid-season trades are needed for a reliable set-up man and the game cannot be assured when the ball is handed off to the bullpen. Starters try to push themselves to avoid having to use the bullpen, but as the season wears on they begin to get exhausted and give up runs. The Nationals sputter across the finish line due to sub-par performances by their highly touted pitching staff.
Best Case Scenario:
The rotation stays healthy all season long without many complications. Strasburg pitches like the phenom he used to be, and the 1-2-3-4 punch of him, Gonzalez, Zimmermann, and Fister end up being too much for nearly any team to handle. They dominate series after series behind quality starts from their starting pitchers, and 5th starter Ross Detwiler exceeds expectations by pitching at a very high level. The bullpen shuts down games when given the opportunity; solidifying the Nationals as a force to be reckoned with across baseball. Opposing teams cannot muster runs due to shut-down performances by Nationals pitchers and the pitching staff provides the team with a chance to win on a daily basis.
I personally believe the Nationals pitching staff will not have an off year. I do see them having their struggles at points and giving up some runs because of pitching mistakes. Overall though I feel they will be much more reliable than last season. I’m not saying the Nationals pitching was terrible last year, because by some standards it was above average, but it was not near what many thought it would be. I believe they will pitch together as a unit, giving the Nats a strong opportunity to win in any situation. The one variable will be seeing how well they can avoid the injury bug. If they can stay healthy all year with time missed kept at a minimum, then the staff will be nearly unstoppable. Here’s to hoping that is the case.

Either We Stand Up to Violence and Intimidation Now, or Our Country Changes
Members of law enforcement clash with pro-Trump protesters as they storm the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., January 6, 2021. (Ahmed Gaber/Reuters)
Maybe cooler heads prevail, and nothing dramatic happens in the next few days. But after last week, that doesn’t feel like the safe bet.
Online posters are calling for an “armed march on Capitol Hill” and all 50 state capitol buildings Saturday at noon.
ABC News:
The FBI has also received information in recent days on a group calling for “storming” state, local and federal government courthouses and administrative buildings in the event President Donald Trump is removed from office prior to Inauguration Day. The group is also planning to “storm” government offices in every state the day President-elect Joe Biden will be inaugurated, regardless of whether the states certified electoral votes for Biden or Trump.
“The FBI received information about an identified armed group intending to travel to Washington, DC on 16 January,” the bulletin read. “They have warned that if Congress attempts to remove POTUS via the 25th Amendment, a huge uprising will occur.”
In painful symbolism, the National Parks Service has closed the Washington Monument, because the National Mall just isn’t safe for visitors right now:
Groups involved in the January 6, 2021 riots at the US Capitol continue to threaten to disrupt the 59th presidential inauguration on January 20, 2021. This includes the set up and execution of inaugural events, which occur in several park areas. In response, the National Park Service will suspend tours of the Washington Monument beginning January 11, 2021 through January 24, 2021.
Despite the numerous arrests of those who smashed their way into the Capitol complex and assaulted police, some like-minded wannabe revolutionaries, hooligans, and malcontents may believe that these sorts of confrontations are worthwhile, because they intimidate and frighten lawmakers.
Lawmakers of both parties have fielded a barrage of personal threats that only seem to be intensifying in the days since a Trump-incited siege in Washington left five people dead and dozens injured. Some of those incidents have taken place away from the now-heavily fortified Capitol grounds, forcing members to take cover in impromptu locations like airport bathrooms.
In an interview with Reason magazine, Michigan GOP Rep. Peter Meijer suggested that some of his colleagues had been intimidated into voting against certification. “One of the saddest things is I had colleagues who, when it came time to recognize reality and vote to certify Arizona and Pennsylvania in the Electoral College, they knew in their heart of hearts that they should’ve voted to certify, but some had legitimate concerns about the safety of their families. They felt that that vote would put their families in danger.”
The U.S. Capitol Police informed members of Congress that purchasing a bulletproof vest is a reimbursable expense.
Everything we said about “paying the Danegeld” and knuckling under to foreign terrorists during the heyday of al-Qaeda and ISIS applies to domestic terrorists as well. Once you allow threats to influence your actions, you just get a lot more threats.

The PCM Outlook
Mustangs lose heartbreaker at home
by Logan Gilman
With the chance to move onto the Substate game on the line the PCM girls’ basketball team laced up their shoes to take on the Chariton Chargers, at home on, Feb. 17. After a back-and-forth game that saw both teams gain and lose momentum, the Chargers came out on top with a final score of 50-40.
After some sloppy play in the first quarter, it was Chariton who had the early lead at 10-6. The next eight minutes was just as low scoring, but the Mustangs did gain some ground on the charging Chargers and came within one point to make the score 16-15 at the break. The third quarter was a roller coaster in which both teams saw themselves take the lead and lose it. Thanks to some lucky breaks, like a three-point shot hitting the top of the backboard and bouncing in, Chariton took a six-point advantage into the final frame, at 34-28. PCM knew that they had to bounce back to keep their season alive and with 3:08 left in the game the Mustangs were down 38-37. But the Chargers were able to regain the momentum and pull away in the final minutes to secure the 10-point victory.
A balanced scoring attack for the Mustangs saw Junior Kayla Jennings, again, leading the way for PCM with 12 points, junior Katie Vande Wall had eight, junior Jayci Vos had seven, and junior Rachel Stafford added 6. Chariton got a major contribution off their bench from junior Carlie Schaeffer, who led all scorers with 13 points.
The Mustangs finished their season with a final record of 13-10, while reaching the district semi-final and taking fourth place in the Heart of Iowa Conference.

Preventing misuses and misapprehensions of FireGloves
| | 2013.08.26. 14:12:37 Gulyás Gábor
This post is about the story of FireGloves. If you don't have time to read it, the short summary is: FireGloves will not protect your privacy from being fingerprinted. For the details, please continue reading.
The history and background of FireGloves
FireGloves is a demonstrational Firefox extension that was created by a small team of researchers at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics in order to show that it is possible to defeat system fingerprinting (if you are new to the topic, read about fingerprinting here and here). At the time being it was developed (started at the end of 2011), there were no tools, even no proposals how to defeat fingerprinting. We only had a few ideas how fingerprinting techniques could work, and there were a few companies offering fingerprint-based tracking services. So we decided to create a simple tool that can show that fingerprinting can be avoided with a little loss of user experience. That was FireGloves.
(For the sake of completeness, I must mention that the Tor Browser Bundle developer team also proposed a solution in parallel, which was later compiled into their product. It was rather a simple but long standing solution: they introduced some options to limit the number of fonts what a website can load. I also made a suggestion to enhance their proposal.)
In April 2012, we introduced a new fingerprinting test demonstrating the capabilities of these techniques at a press event. FireGloves was also shown, demonstrating that we were looking for a solution, and not interested in exploiting user privacy. (For the curious reader: recent research makes it clear that the fingerprint-based tracking industry went along the direction we suspected. We also have a recently published book chapter including further predictions becoming reality.) FireGloves was successful at that time: after testing it against one of the leading fingerprinting companies, it was able to circumvent tracking.
However, times changed. Our development team dissolved in September 2012, FireGloves was no longer developed. Although we clarified that FG is a plugin of demonstrational purposes, it had almost 2k users constantly, and we also received a few bug reporting and support-requesting emails every month. What really urged writing this post is the wide publicity FG gained in August 2013: many users adopted the plugin in the hope of getting some protection, making a false sense of privacy. However, I must mention that we are grateful for the sites writing about FireGloves, since this publicity also raised the awareness on a very important and unsolved issue. So: thank you! :-) [Links to some of these articles can be found on the Hungarian press coverage page.]
Blowing away the misapprehensions
One of the main things why FireGloves gained visibility, that it is the only known extension of its kind. This is because fighting fingerprinting is not easy, and several aspects of protection need to be considered. Which is perhaps too much for a single extension. Secondly, probably because the achievements of FG on fingerprinting tests can be misleading (both on the Panopticlick and Fingerprinting 2.0 tests). For instance, in this video it is demonstrated that FG decreases traceability greatly. In fact, what is shown is that it is possible to protect ourselves against the vulnerabilities what these tests (and fingerprinting trackers at those times) exploited. However, fingerprinting techniques evolved since these tests were created. Thus to have an up-to-date protection FG would have also needed to be upgraded constantly.
So, what should one do?
In my opinion, it is not pointless to fight fingerprinting. To the contrary: the more users support anti-fingerprinting, the better these solutions will get. But where to look? The greatest tools currently available are the Tor Browser Bundle and the JondoFox anonymous web browsers. These are made by professionals, and include customized portable Firefox browsers. These are even modified at the source level, and include the most important extensions that one would need. (Beware! If you use too much of extensions, you loose privacy. Check out our book chapter for details, and read about the anonymity paradox.)
Thank you for reading so far, and I hope you find this writing useful. Meaningful comments are welcome.
Oh, and if you are motivated to continue developing FireGloves, you'll find the source code on GitHub! Please let us know if you have any modifications done! I’m sure it is worth the effort.

Joseph McCann trial: Alleged rapist ‘threatened to chop up girls’
Joseph McCann is accused of 37 offences against 11 women and children aged 11 to 71
An alleged serial rapist threatened to “chop up” two 14-year-old girls who he snatched off a street in Greater Manchester, a court has heard.
Joseph McCann is accused of stealing a Fiat car belonging to a 71-year-old woman and then forcing the girls into the vehicle on 5 May.
The Old Bailey was shown CCTV of him buying petrol and a pack of condoms at a garage while they waited in the car.
Mr McCann, 34, of Harrow, London, denies 37 offences against 11 victims.
The jury heard a petrol attendant who served the defendant in the Shell garage thought he appeared to be “angry, nervous and in a rush”.
After leaving the garage, Mr McCann was spotted by a police patrol who were already on the look-out for the vehicle.
PC Michael Jennings saw two girls in the back and one of them appeared “terrified” while the other raised a hand to attract attention, the Old Bailey heard.
Dashcam footage of the subsequent police chase was played in court which showed the Fiat going the wrong way around a roundabout and colliding with a bronze Mercedes.
Despite being damaged it carried on at speeds of up to 60mph (97km/h) in a 40mph (97km/h) zone, the court was told.
Jurors heard Mr McCann then abandoned the car, leaving the two girls by the road, and was later seen on CCTV running past a man who was cleaning a driveway.
He was then seen riding a bicycle having swapped his T-shirt and later he got a taxi from a restaurant in Stoke, which was stopped by police.
At 20:40 BST, Mr McCann was seen running through a field, having fled from the taxi when he was challenged by an officer.
He was finally arrested after climbing a tree, the court has heard.
Mr McCann, who was not in court, is charged with the following offences against women and children aged 11 to 71, between 20 April and 5 May this year:
Ten counts of false imprisonment
Seven counts of rape
One count of rape of a child
Two counts of causing or inciting a person to engage in sexual activity without consent
Seven counts of kidnap
One count of attempted kidnap
Three counts of causing or inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity
Three counts of assault by penetration
One count of sexual assault
Two counts of committing a sexual offence with intent

Observer API
Thursday September 17th, 2020 — 09:31 BST
In this episode of "PHP Internals News" I chat with Levi Morrison (Twitter, GitHub) and Sammy Kaye Powers (Twitter, GitHub, Website) about the new Observer API.
Derick Rethans 0:15
Hi, I'm Derick, and this is PHP internals news, a weekly podcast dedicated to demystifying the development of the PHP language. This is Episode 68. Today I'm talking with Levi Morrison, and Sammy Powers, about something called the observer API, which is something that is new in PHP eight zero. Now, we've already passed feature freeze, of course, but this snuck in at the last possible moment. What this is observer API going to solve?
Levi Morrison 0:44
the observer API is primarily aimed at recording function calls in some way so it can also handle include, and require, and eval, and potentially in the future other things, but this is important because it allows you to write tools that automatically observe, hence the name, when a function begins or ends, or both.
What would you use that for?
So as an example, Xdebug can use this to know when functions are entered or or left, and other tools such as application performance monitoring, or APM tools like data dog, New Relic, tideways, instana so on, they can use these hooks too.
From what I understand that is the point you're coming in from, because we haven't actually done a proper introduction, which I forgot about. I've been out of this for doing this for a while. So both you and Sammy you work for data dog and work on their APM tool, which made you start doing this, I suppose.
Sammy Kaye Powers 1:54
Yeah, absolutely. One of the pain points of tying into the engine to to monitor things is that the hooks are insufficient in a number of different ways. The primary way that you would do function call interception is with a little hook called zend_execute_ex and this will hook all userland function calls. The problem is, it has an inherent stack bomb in it where if, depending on your stack size settings you, you're going to blow up your stack. At some point if you have a very very deeply deep call stack in PHP, PHP, technically has a virtually unlimited call stack. But when you use zend_execute_ex, it actually does limit your stack size to whatever your settings are your ulimit set stack size. One of the issues that this solves is that stack overflow issue that you can run into when intercepting userland calls but the other thing that it solves is the potential JIT issues that are coming with PHP eight, where the optimizations that it does could potentially optimize out a call to zend_execute_ex where a profiling or APM tracing kind of extension would not be able to enter set that call, because of the JIT. The Observer API enables to solve multiple issues with this. Not only that, there's more. there's more features to this thing, because zend_execute_ex by default will intercept all userland function calls, and you have no choice but to intercept every single call, whereas, this API is designed to also allow you to choose which function calls specifically you want to intercept, so there is on the very first call of a function call. And it'll basically send in the zend function. This is a little bit of a point we've been kind of going back and forth on what we actually send in on the initialisation. But at the moment it is a zend function so you can kind of look at that and say okay do I want to monitor this function or observe it. If your extension returns a handler and says this is my begin handler This is my end handler. Those handlers will fire at the beginning and end of every function call. So it gives you a little bit of fine grain sort of resolution on what you want to observe. The other really kind of baked in design, part of the design is, we wanted it to play well with neighbours, because some of the hooks, at the moment, well, pretty much all of the hooks. Aside from typical extension hooks. Whenever you tie into the engine it's very easy to be a noisy neighbor. It's very easy not to forward a hook along properly it's very easy to break something for another extension. This has like kind of neighbour considerations baked right in. So when you actually request a begin and end hook. It will manage on its side, how to actually call those, and so you don't have to forward along the hook to other other extensions to make it a little bit more stable in that sense.
From working on Xdebug, this is definitely problem forwarding both zend_execute_ex and also zend_execute_internal, which is something I also override are of course. And I think there are similar issues with, with the error display as well and PHP eight will also have a different, or a new API for that as well. Also coming out of a different performance monitoring tool, which is interesting to see that all these things works. You mentioned the Zend function thing and I'm not sure how well versed the audiences and all this internal things what is this zend function thing?
as any function in the engine is what represents a function so not the scope that it's called in but the scope that it's defined in. It represents both method calls and function calls. It's triggered whenever a user land function is in play. So it has the function name, the name of the class that it's associated with, it tells you how many parameters you have and things like this. It does not tell you the final object that it's called with, and this is partly why we are debating what exactly should get passed in here, because some people may care. Oh, I only want to observe this with particular inheritors or, or other things of that nature so there's a little bit of fine tuning in the design perhaps still but the basic idea is you'll know the name of the function. What class it's in, and it's bound late enough in the engine that you would also have access to whatever parents that class has, etc.
Does it contain the arguments as well, that are being sent, or just a definition of the arguments?
The Zend function only contains the definition of the arguments. The hook is split into three sections kind of so there's like initialisation and then begin and end. Initialisation only gives you the Zendo function but to begin and gives you access to what's called the Zend execute data which has more information, including the actual arguments being passed.
Okay, so it's the idea of the initialisation, just to find out whether you actually want to intercept the function. And if you want remember that and if not it wouldn't ever bother are the trying to intercept that specific zend function either.
Actually what we actually pass into that initialization function is has been sort of up for debate. The original implementations, that is plural. We've had many different implementations of this thing over the, over the year. Derick you did mention that this got squeezed in last minute it has been a work in progress for a very long time and it actually is fulfilling JIT work so there's a specific mention in the JIT RFC that that mentions an API that is going to be required to intercept some function calls that are optimized out so that's why we were able to sneak in a little bit past feature freeze on the actual merge I think. But what we actually sent into this initialization function is spin up two for debate based on how we've actually implemented it. One of the original early implementations actually called this initialization function during the runtime cache initialization, just basically kind of a cache that gets initialized before the execute data actually is created. We didn't have the option of sending in the execute data at that time, we did have the zend function. So we were sending that in. Later on this implementation get refactored to a number different ways. We have the option now to send an execute data if we wanted to, but it might be sufficient to send in the op array instead of the Zend function. The op array should be the full sort of set of opcodes that basically is a function definition from the perspective of of internals, but it also includes like includes and evals. Having additional information at initialisation might actually be handy. I think we're still kind of maybe thinking about that potentially changing I don't know what do you think Levi.
Yeah, you can get the oparray from the function so it's a little pedantic on which one you pass in I guess, but yeah. The idea is that we don't want to intentionally restrict it. It's just that the implementations have changed over the year so we're not sure exactly what to pass in at the moment. I think a zend function's pretty safe, passing in a zend oparray is perhaps a better signal to what it's actually for, because it can measure function calls, but also include, require, eval. And the oparray technically does contain more information. Again, if you have zend function, you can check to see if it is an oparray and get the operate from the Zend function. So a little pedantic but maybe a little better in conveying the purpose and what exactly it targets.
And you can also get the oparray from zend_execute_data.

If I want to make use of this observe API I will do that? I guess, you said only from extensions and not from userland.
Sammy Kaye Powers 10:08
Exactly. At the moment you would as an extension during MINIT or startup, basically in the very early process with the actual PHP processes starting up, would basically register your initialization handler. And at that point, under the hood, the whole course of history is changed for PHP at that point, because there is a specific observer path that happens when an observer extension registers at MINIT or startup. At that point the initialization function will get called for every function call. The very first function call that that function called is called, I know that sounds confusing but if you think you have one function and it's called 100 times that initialization will run one time. That point you can return either a begin and or at an end handler. If you return null handlers it'll never, it'll never bother you again for that particular function, but it will continue to go on that is don't mentioned earlier for every new function that encounters every new function call and encounters, I should say.
There is not much overhead, because the whole idea is that you want to do as little overhead as possible I suppose.
Exactly, we have in our current design in pre PHP 8.0. You could hook into all function calls using that zend_execute_ex, but it has performance overhead just for doing the call. So let's imagine we're in a scenario where we have two extensions, say Xdebug and one APM product. Both of them aren't actually going to do anything on this particular call it will still call those hooks, which has overhead to it. So if nobody is interested in a function, the engine can very quickly determine this and avoid the overhead of doing nothing. This way we only pay significant costs, if there's something to be done.
You're talking about not providing much overhead at all. Just having the observer API in place, was there any performance hits with that?
That was actually one of the biggest sort of hurdles that we had to overcome specifically with Dmitri getting this thing, merged in because it does touch the VM and whenever you touch the VM like we're talking like any tiny little null check that you have in any of the handlers is probably going to have some sort of impact at least enough for Dmitri, who understandably cares about like very very very small overheads that are happening at the VM level, because these are happening for every function call. You know, this is, this is not something that's just happening, you know, one time during the request is happening a lot. In order to apeace Dmitri and get this thing merged in, it basically had to have zero overhead for the production version non observer, his production version but on the non observed version on the non observed path it had to basically reach zero on those benchmarks. That was quite a task to try to achieve. We went through four, about four or five different ways of tying into the engine, we got it down to about, like, two new checks for every function call. And that still was not sufficient, so we end up going with based on Dmitris excellent suggestion, went with the opcode specialization, to implement observers so that at compile time. We can look and see if there's an observer extension present and if there is, it will actually divert the function call related opcodes to specific handlers that are designed for observing and that way once, once you get past that point, the observer path is already determined at compile time and all the observer handlers fire. In a non observed environment, all of the regular handlers will fire without any observability checks in them.
At the end of getting within the loss of zero or not?
It is zero for certain things. Of course, there are other places besides the VM that you have to touch things here and there for, you know, keeping code tidy and code sane but it's effectively zero, for all intents and purposes. Goal achieved. I will say zero percent.
I think the last version of the patch that I saw didn't have the code specialization in it yet. So I'm going to have to have a look at myself again.
Yeah, the previous version had very low overhead, so low overhead that you couldn't really observe it through any time based things. But if you measured instructions retired or similar things from the CPU, then it was about point four to 1% reduction, and personally I would have said that's good enough because all of them would correctly branch predict, because you either have handlers in a request, or you don't. And so they would perfectly predict, every time. But still, those are extra instructions technically so that's why Dmitri pushed for specialization and those are no longer there.
Does that mean there are new opcodes specifically for this, or is it just the specialization of the opcodes that is different?
It's just this specialization. During the process of going, figuring out what exactly Dmitri needed to mergeable actually proposed an implementation that added basically an observer version of every kind of function call related opcode like do_fcall_observed, or observed_return or something like that. With, opcodes specialization, it reduces the amount of code that you have to write sort of at the VM level, it doesn't change the amount of code that's generated though because with opcode specialization, basically the definition file will get expanded by this, this php file that actually generates C code. When you add a specialization, to a handler that already has specializations on it, it will expand quite considerably. The PR at one point ended up being like 10,000 lines or something like that, so we had to do some serious reduction on the number of handlers that were automatically generated. Long story short, is there are no new opcodes but there are new opcode handlers to handle this specific path.
Not sure what, if anything more to ask about the Observer API, do you have anything to ask yourself?
I think it's worth repeating the merits of the observer API and where we're coming from. The key benefits in my opinion are that it allows you to target per function interception for observing. It allows you to do it in a way that's that plays nice with other people in the ecosystem and increasingly that's becoming more important. We've always had debuggers and some people occasionally need to turn debuggers on in production and other things like this. But increasingly, there are other products in this space; the number of APM products is growing over time. There are new security products that are also using these kinds of hooks. And I expect over time we will see more and more and more of these kinds of of tools, and so being able to play nicely is a very large benefit. At data dog where Sammy and I both work we've hit product incompatibilities a lot of times, and some people are better to work with than others. I know that Xdebug has done some work to be compatible with our product specifically but you know competitors aren't so interested in that. We care a lot about the community right, we want the whole community to have good tools, and I don't think we actually mentioned yet that we did collaborate with some other people and competitors in this space. That hopefully proves that that's not just words of mine that, you know, we actually met with the competitors who were willing to and discussed API design, and use cases, and making sure that we could all work together and compete on giving PHP good products rather than, you know, hoarding technical expertise and running over each other and causing incompatibilities with each other. So I think those are really important things. And then lastly, it does not have that stack overflow potential that the previous hooks you could use did.
Yeah, which is still an issue for Xdebug but but I fixed that in a different way by setting an arbitrary limit on the amount of nested levels you can call, right.
Yeah, and in practice that tends to work pretty well because most people don't have intentionally deep code. But for some people they do. And we can't as an APM product for instance say: sorry your code is just not good code, we can't observe a crash your your your thing and so we can't make that decision. And then the biggest con at the moment is that it doesn't work with JIT, but I want to specifically mention that, that's not a technical thing, that's just a not enough time has been put in that space yet because this was crunched to the last second trying to get it in. And so, some things didn't get as much focus yet. Hopefully by the time 8.0 gets released it will be compatible with JIT, or at least it will be only per function, so maybe a function that gets observed, maybe that can't be JIT compiled that specific function call, but all the other function calls that aren't observed would be able to. We'll see obviously there's still work to do there but that's our hope.
What happens now, if, if you use the observer API and the JIT engine is active? Does it just disable the JIT engine.
Yep. It just won't enable the JIT at all. In fact, it just goes ahead and disables it, if an observer extension is enabled and there is a little kind of debug message that's emitted inside of the OP cache specific logs that will will say specifically why the JIT isn't enabled just in case you're sitting here trying to turn the JIT on you're like, why isn't enabled, and it'll say there's an observer extension present so we can enable the JIT. Hopefully they'll be able to work a little bit, and maybe just change an optimization level or something in the future. I'd like to give a shout out to Benjamin Eberlei, who has been with us since the very beginning on this whole thing has been vetting the API on his products, has gotten xhprof on not only the original implementation but also on the newest implementation, and has just been a huge help in actually getting this thing pushed in, and was said some of the magic words that actually, this thing merged in, when it was looking like it wasn't gonna land for eight dot O and got it landed for eight dot one so Benjamin gets a huge thumbs up. So, Nikita Popov, Bob Weinand, and Joe Watkins really early on. These are awesome people from internals who have spent some time to help us vet the API, but also to help us with specific implementation details. It's been just a huge team effort from a lot of people and it was just like, really great to work across the board with everybody.
Yeah, and the only thing right now of course is all the extensions that do observe things need to be compatible with this.
Which is also means there's work for me, or potentially.
I guess one one minor point there is that if an extension does move to the new API, it is a little bit insulated from those that haven't moved to the new API. So, to some degree, it still benefits the people who haven't moved yet because the people who have moved have one less competitor in the same same hook, so it's just highlighting the fact that it plays nicely with other people.
Is opcache itself actually going to use it or not?
So this is focused only on userland functions; past iterations that was not the case. Dmitri kind of pushed back on having this API for internals and so that got dropped. I don't think at this stage there's any there's any value in opcache using it specifically, but there are some other built in things like Dtrace. I don't know how many people actually use Dtrace; I actually have used it once or twice, but Dtrace could use this hook in the future instead of having a custom code path and things like that.
For Xdebug I still need to support PHP seven two and up, so I'm not sure how much work it is doing it right now, but definitely something to look into and move to in the future, I suppose. Well thank you very much to have a chat with me this morning. I can see that for Sammy the sun has now come up and I can see his face. Thanks for talking to me this morning.
Thanks so much, Derick and I really appreciate all the hard work you put into this because I know firsthand experience how much work podcasts are so I really appreciate the determination to continue putting out episodes. It's a huge amount of work so thanks for being consistent.
Yeah, thank you so much for having us Derick.

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP Announces the Filing of a Securities Class Action on Behalf of Vaxart, Inc. (VXRT) Investors
Shareholders with $150,000 in losses or more are encouraged to contact the firm
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$VXRT #classaction—Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”), a national investors rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Vaxart, Inc. (“Vaxart” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: VXRT) securities between June 25, 2020 and July 25, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Vaxart investors have until October 23, 2020 to file a lead plaintiff motion.
If you suffered a loss on your Vaxart investments or would like to inquire about potentially pursuing claims to recover your loss under the federal securities laws, you can submit your contact information at https://www.glancylaw.com/cases/vaxart-inc/. You can also contact Charles H. Linehan, of GPM at 310-201-9150, Toll-Free at 888-773-9224, or via email at [email protected] to learn more about your rights.
On June 26, 2020, Vaxart issued a news release announcing that it had been selected for Operation Warp Speed (“OWS”), the federal initiative to quickly develop drugs to combat the coronavirus.
On July 25, 2020, a New York Times article revealed that Vaxart’s vaccine candidate was included in a trial on primates that a federal agency was organizing in conjunction with Operation Warp Speed. However, the Company was not selected to receive significant financial support from Operation Warp Speed.
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that Vaxart had exaggerated the prospects of its COVID-19 vaccine candidate, including its purported role or involvement in OWS; (2) that Vaxart’s COVID-19 vaccine candidate had no reasonable prospect for mass production and marketing and was not among the companies selected to receive significant financial support from OWS to produce hundreds of millions of vaccine doses; (3) that, in reality, the Company’s COVID-19 vaccine candidate was merely selected to participate in preliminary U.S. government studies to determine potential areas for possible OWS partnership and support; and (4) that, at the time Defendants’ statements were made, those studies were ongoing, and no determination had been made.
If you purchased Vaxart securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than October 23, 2020 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff. To be a member of the Class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class.

Access Denied? New Safety Measures at LC
December 4, 2014 February 24, 2015
by PioLog
By Julie Oatfield /// Staff Writer
Since Lewis & Clark administrators and Campus Safety responded to a gun emoji posted on Yik Yak last month, students have been dealing with the main safety measure implemented: swipe access only to their own residence halls. Previously, students could swipe into any dorm building.
In addition to campus debates regarding the new system and whether it effectively addresses safety concerns in the event of a gun-related emergency, technical issues have arisen with the swipe systems. Josh Fichera (’18) said he was locked out of Howard Hall for a full day, about a week after the new system was put in place.
“I had to call people in the building and yell really loudly to get in,” Fichera said, and mentioned that a number of other students had to do the same. A student who lived in the room closest to Howard’s front door “basically became the doorman for the day,” he said. Another technical glitch appeared the following day, when the hall’s door was allegedly unlocked for at least 24 hours and could be opened without a swipe card. About the open door, Fichera said, “As far as making a safe place, that total openness didn’t vibe with the rest of [Campus Safety’s] policies.”
Director of Campus Safety Timothy O’Dwyer, with input from Lead Dispatcher Bruce Burns, was able to offer explanations for some of the issues in the transition.
“Because removing the all residence hall access and adding the single residence hall access to all undergraduate resident student identification cards had to be done manually, one at a time, there were a number of errors made,” O’Dwyer said. As student-residence lists were double-checked and students called in with problems, errors were eventually fixed.
O’Dwyer also referred to access problems that Information Technology has dealt with over the last few months: “Some student identification cards are not updating, causing their ID card to periodically not work. These must be updated manually by Campus Safety on a weekly basis until IT corrects the issue, and presently there is no timeline for resolution.”
Campus Safety is uncertain how long the current single-hall access system will be in place. In the meantime, O’Dywer recommends students call (503)-768-7855 or stop by the office if they’re experiencing problems accessing their hall.

What is Vedic Astrology
How to Choose Your Astrologer
By victorhaug on February 11, 2018 • ( Leave a comment )
“This is the excellent foppery of the world, that when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeits of our own behavior, we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars: as if we were villains on necessity, fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treachers, by spherical predominance; drunkards, liars, and adulterers, by an enforced obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine thrusting on. An admirable evasion of whoremaster man, to lay his goatish disposition on the charge of a star.” (Shakespeare, King Lear)
Astrology is a daunting subject for many people and is shrouded in misunderstanding and confusion. We often perceive astrology to be locked in a world of mathematical complication or, conversely, to be shrouded in mystical fog. Consequently, many people either follow astrology dogmatically or simply turn away from it entirely. And a vast majority of people in our society look at astrology as a fools’ science. But astrology should be practical and simple.
Astrology cannot be strictly understood mathematically. We cannot understand the stars by imposing a system of aspects and rules upon them. Mars in the sixth house in Virgo squaring Saturn in the ninth house in Sagittarius does not mean the same thing every time. Only those who can commune with the planets are capable of understanding the influence they exert and the karma that they represent. Astrology is too fluid to be understood linearly.
Astrology is still, at its core, an intuitive exercise even if it is clothed in mathematical garments. Practicing astrology mathematically is like judging a stranger by the outfit he wears and the car he drives. Sometimes stereotyping people works but often it does not.
Paramahansa Yogananda’s guru, Sri Yukteswar, was an astrologer who was hard in his assessment of most astrologers, saying: “Charlatans have brought [astrology] to its present state of disrepute. Astrology is too vast, both mathematically and philosophically, to be rightly grasped except by men of profound understanding. If ignoramuses misread the heavens, and see there a scrawl instead of a script, that is to be expected in this imperfect world. One should not dismiss the wisdom with the ‘wise.’”
He also explained why we are born at a particular time: “A child is born on that day and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual karma. His horoscope is a challenging portrait, revealing his unalterable past and its probable future results. But the natal chart can be rightly interpreted only by men of intuitive wisdom: these are few.”
Finally, he encouraged us to look at astrology as a challenge to rise above our current state rather than as a guarantee of what will happen in the future: “the message boldly blazoned across the heavens at the moment of birth is not meant to emphasize fate—the result of past good and evil—but to arouse man’s will to escape from his universal thralldom. What he has done, he can undo. None other than himself was the instigator of the causes of whatever effects are now prevalent in his life. He can overcome any limitation, because he created it by his own actions in the first place, and because he has spiritual resources which are not subject to planetary pressure.”
Astrology is meant to arouse the desire to be better than we are and to rise above our negative circumstances. It is not meant for us to “make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars” as if we were compelled by “an enforced obedience of planetary influence.” Astrologers should emphasize how we can use our strengths that we have from past lives to overcome the negative momentums that are afflicting us in this life. We are not slaves to our stars.
Our fate and circumstances will change when we strive to improve ourselves; our stars only show us how the road to improvement will be. But reading the map is important because, just like going on a road trip, we need to know what the road will be like in order to prepare ourselves for the journey. These preparations and precautions will help us to stay on the good road to self-improvement—the road to greater happiness and freedom.
So how should you choose an astrologer? Rather than thinking about who has the right system think about who is giving you the best advice. Astrologers should make sense and should encourage you rather than confuse you. When you leave a conversation or a reading with an astrologer you should feel uplifted and inspired to make a greater effort in your life. Happiness should feel more attainable. The possibility for life should feel greater.
We often blame our faults on our stars and use astrology as an excuse for our negative tendencies. It might sometimes be easier to think that we are “fools by heavenly compulsion,” but the point of astrology is to overcome the stars—not to be their prisoner.
We can draw inspiration from Sri Yukteswar’s advice that one’s astrology chart “is not meant to emphasize fate—the result of past good and evil—but to arouse man’s will to escape from his universal thralldom. What he has done, he can undo…The wise man defeats his planets—which is to say, his past—by transferring his allegiance from the creation to the Creator. The more he realizes his unity with Spirit, the less he can be dominated by matter. The soul is ever-free; it is deathless because birthless. It cannot be regimented by stars.”

Politics Are Again a Problem for Battered Latin American Markets
Pedestrians walk past shuttered shops in the town of Bucerias, Mexico, on April 23.
Photographer: Cesar Rodriguez/Bloomberg
Political turmoil in Brazil and Mexico is making things even worse for Latin American markets already suffering with lower commodity prices and the cost of the pandemic.
In a region home to some of the this year’s worst-performing emerging-market currencies and stocks, talk of impeachment in Brazil and a Mexico’s refusal to unveil stimulus measures is dampening the economic outlook even more.
Traders are expecting more volatility in Latin America than in other regions. While the average one-month implied volatility for the Brazilian real and the Mexican peso is climbing, a composite gauge for the Turkish lira, South African rand, Russian ruble and Indonesian rupiah has declined over recent weeks. The same divergence appears in longer-dated volatility measures.
Few Latin American nations are expected to escape a recession in 2020, according to the International Monetary Fund, which forecasts Brazil and Mexico’s economies to shrink 5.3% and 6.6% respectively. That’s in sharp contrast to emerging Asia, where the Fund still foresees growth in the largest economies such as China, India and Indonesia.
Financial markets have taken notice. The Brazilian real is the worst performer among 24 emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg this year, closely followed by the Mexican peso. The Ibovespa and the S&P/BMV IPC stocks indexes are up 4.3% and down 0.8% this month in dollar terms, lagging a 6.5% rally in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and the performance of stocks in Russia, Indonesia, South Africa and Turkey.
Investors confidence in Brazil is being hammered by a fresh political imbroglio, as two ministers left their posts in less than two weeks, one of them lobbing accusations at President Jair Bolsonaro that fueled talk about impeachment.
Conditions in Brazil are ripe for “a significant near-term political crisis in which impeachment could be in play,” Eurasia Group said in a client note. JPMorgan, meantime, moved Brazilian rates to underweight as a “much weaker BRL” is expected to “raise financial stability concerns.”
In Mexico, investors are concerned about President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s refusal to aid the economy. On Monday, he rejected business-supporting loans of up to $12 billion, contradicting his own finance ministry, which supports the initiative.
Spending measures in both Mexico and Brazil “have come late in the day” and “the scale of the fiscal packages is still small,” William Jackson, chief emerging markets economist at Capital Economics, wrote in a report. He expects a region-wide downturn that will be “the deepest since reliable records began.”
Before it’s here, it’s on the Bloomberg Terminal.

Publication of a manuscript on an external website after acceptance but prior to journal publication
Forum webinars
COPE Members:
for discussion at our next Forum
2pm (GMT)
Case text (Anonymised):
Our journal recently approved a commentary article for publication, after the manuscript had been substantially revised during the editorial process. In the course of preparing the text for the article proof, the copy editor discovered that the authors had published the revised manuscript on an external public website, just prior to receiving notification from our system of our formal acceptance for publication. Although formally accepted, the article has not yet be been published (neither online nor in print).
In our journal, authors are required, at the time of submission of a manuscript, to confirm that the manuscript has not previously been published in other media, that they consent to giving our journal exclusive rights to represent, duplicate and publish the manuscript, and that written consent for subsequent use of the manuscript must be obtained from the Journal.
Immediately after submission of a manuscript, all authors receive a confirmation email in which we repeat that the content/manuscript must not be discussed in any form of media until the manuscript is published by the journal, without a specific exception from us. This message is repeated in several subsequent communications, including at the time of acceptance for publication.
The timing of the publication of this manuscript on an external website falls at an unusual intersection between submission of a revised manuscript, acceptance of a final version of the manuscript and publication of the final manuscript. We judge the situation as somewhat different from the COPE flowcharts for redundant publication. We have informed the authors that we have postponed publication until we receive the COPE Forum's recommendation. In the meantime, we have asked the authors to remove the content of the manuscript from the external website.
Question(s) for the COPE Forum
• Is it acceptable to permanently withhold publication of this otherwise accepted manuscript?
The editor updated the Forum that the author has now removed the manuscript from the external public website, stating that it was a technical error.
The Forum suggested that this case highlights the lack of knowledge of some authors with regard to the consequences of posting on blogs, websites, etc, and that education is needed around these issues to reinforce the message that this constitutes publishing.
The Forum noted that this was not redundant publication but could have been a breach of copyright, if the paper had not been taken down from the website. With so many publishing models available, is it conceivable that the authors were confused? Editors should ensure their journal policies on permissible duplicate publication are up to date. For some journals, publication of manuscripts on preprint servers, for example, is permissible, but this should be clearly indicated on the journal website. In the present case, the journal does not have an open access policy and at the time of submission the journal assumes copyright of the article.
The Forum agreed that the authors were in the wrong here, but the right thing to do now is for the journal to publish the paper. If the editor feels she would like to do more, she could consider contacting the authors’ institution as a way of educating the authors and providing a gentle reminder of the appropriate behaviour in such instances, and the contract and copyright issues involved when authors submit a paper for publication.
The authors were understanding of the journal's concerns and removed the content from the external website. The journal proceeded to publish the manuscript.

Logging firewood
by cfastie | October 09, 2018 04:27 09 Oct 04:27 ... | #17252 | #17252
Last winter I installed an Arduino data logger next to my woodstove and logged temperature data for most of the wood burning season. An infrared sensor pointed at the stove produced an index of how hot the stove was, and the Arduino saved that temperature and some other data every five minutes. The Arduino also turned on and off the stove's internal circulation fan as a function of stove temperature.
Figure 1. Firewood queued to be burned in the woodstove. The wheelbarrow holds apple (Malus pumila) wood for that day's heat. The sled holds hop hornbeam (Ostrya virginiana) wood for the next day's heat.
For 12 days in January I carefully selected the wood to be burned. Each day I burned only wood from one species of tree. The goal was to learn whether higher quality wood kept the stove hotter. I had only four different kinds of firewood: hop hornbeam, apple, red oak (Quercus rubra), and white ash (Fraxinus americana). I had enough hop hornbeam for only one day, but the other species I burned for three or four days each. I switched species at about midnight each day, so before going to bed I loaded the stove with a different type of wood and burned that species for 24 hours. Except for one case, I changed species every day.
Table 1. BTU content of firewood from six tree species. Data are million BTUs per cord of dry firewood.
Hop Hornbeam
The four types of firewood I burned are among the highest quality woods in Vermont (Table 1). For comparison, Table 1 includes paper birch and cottonwood, two less desirable species which I did not have in my woodpile. The different types of wood were mixed together in my wood pile and had been drying for more than a year.
Figure 2. I had to plan ahead to have enough of one type of wood ready for each day. The wheelbarrow is full of red oak.
Figure 3. Temperature data from a non-contact infrared sensor pointed at the woodstove for five days in January, 2018. Different types of wood were burned on different days. The temperature rises after wood has been added to the stove and then drops until more wood is added. A long period of dropping temperature happens every night after midnight until more wood is added at 9:00 or 10:00 AM.
Figure 4. Woodstove temperature data for seven consecutive days in January, 2018.
To compare the effects of the four different wood species, I averaged the temperature data for each day, so about 288 data entries (one for every five minutes) were averaged. There were three or four days for each of the species, and those days are used as replicates. There was no replication of the day when hop hornbeam was burned.
Figure 5. Mean woodstove temperature for days when each of four wood types were burned. The means and standard errors (error bars) were computed from the replicate days (n) for each wood species.
There is not a very good relationship between the known energy content of the different wood species (Table 1) and the mean temperature results (Figure 5). Although all of the wood had been dried for the same length of time, white ash dries faster than the other woods (pers. comm., the guys who bring me the firewood). So it is possible that higher moisture content of the other species reduced the amount of heat they emitted as they burned (energy has to be used to boil off the water). It is also possible that I loaded wood differently on different days. Each day, I recorded how often I loaded the stove, and how many logs I loaded each time.
Figure 6. Means of the number of times logs were loaded into the woodstove each day (yellow) and how many logs were loaded each day (orange) for each of the four species of wood.
There is probably no difference in the total number of logs loaded each day, but it appears that white ash was loaded into the stove one or two times more often than the other species (Figure 6). This inconsistency could account for the unexpected result that white ash produced more heat than the other species--more frequent loading can maintain a higher average stove temperature.
Continuing my search for possible explanations for the scientific result that did not meet my expectations, I did what all good scientists do and tried to reanalyze the data to get a result which better met my preexisting understanding.The mean daily stove temperature is influenced strongly by the nighttime period when no wood is added. Assuming that the quality of the wood will have more effect on the periods when the stove is burning hot, I truncated the dataset so it did not include times when the stove temperature was less than 90°C.
Figure 7. Mean woodstove temperature for days when each of four wood types were burned, for only the periods of each day when the stove temperature exceeded 90°C. The means and standard errors (error bars) were computed from the replicate days (n) for each wood species.
Removing the data for periods when the woodstove temperature was less than 90°C tended to improve the relationship between the known energy content of the wood (Table 1) and the woodstove temperature (Figure 7). Three of the four wood species now align with expectations, but that impertinent white ash still seems to produce more heat than the better quality wood from apple and red oak.
I now have an increased respect for white ash and will be happy to include it in my wood pile. If I ever repeat this observation, I will be sure to include some types of wood with much lower energy content like cottonwood or pine. All of the wood types I burned for this study are excellent firewood, so my failure to find clear differences among them with my crude methodology is not surprising.
Kits to build data loggers capable of collecting this type of information like the Mini Pearl Logger and the Nano Data Logger are available at the Public Lab Store and the KAPtery.

Post-harvest diseases of apple and pear cause significant losses.
Neofabraea spp. and Cadophora spp. infect fruits during the growing season and remain quiescent until disease symptoms occur after several months in storage. Epidemiological knowledge of these diseases is limited. TaqMan PCR assays were developed for quantification of N. alba, N. perennans, C. malorum and C. luteo-olivacea in environmental samples. Various host tissues, dead weeds and grasses, soil and applied composts were collected in 10 apple and 10 pear orchards in May 2012. Neofabraea alba was detected in 73% of samples from apple orchards and 48% from pear orchards. Neofabraea perennans was present in a few samples. Cado- phora luteo-olivacea was detected in 99% of samples from apple orchards and 93% from pear orchards, whilst C. malo-rum was not detected in any sample. In apple orchards, highest concentrations of N. alba
were found in apple leaf litter, cankers and mummies, and of C. luteo-olivacea in apple leaf litter, mummies and dead weeds. In pear orchards, N. alba and C. luteo-olivacea were found in highest concentrations in pear leaf litter and in dead weeds. Substrate colonization varied considerably between orchards. The temporal dynamics of pathogens was followed in four apple orchards and four
pear orchards. In apple orchards the colonization by pathogens decreased from April until August and increased from September until December. This pattern was less pronounced in pear. Knowledge on population dynamics is essential for
the development of preventative measures to reduce risks of fruit infections during the growing season.

St. Croix County was created on August 3, 1840 by the legislature of the Wisconsin Territory. It was named after the river on its western border. Sources vary upon the parentage of the name; the St. Croix River may have been named after Monsieur St. Croix, an traveler who drowned at the mouth of the river late in the seventeenth century. Another account credits Father Hennepin in the same way as giving this region the French say Ste Croix (Holy Cross) because of the burial markers located at the mouth of the river.
La Pointe County (now extinct, see Bayfield County) was created from the northern portions of Wisconsin Territory’s St. Croix County on February 19, 1845. When Wisconsin was admitted into the linkage as a state upon May 29, 1848, the territorial St. Croix County was new divided, with the territory from the Mississippi River to the current be next-door to of Minnesota continuing as de facto Wisconsin Territory until upon March 3, 1849, it and unorganized federal territory lying north of Iowa were used in the creation of the Minnesota Territory. Itasca, Washington, Ramsey and Benton Counties were created by the Minnesota Territory on October 27, 1849 from the de facto Wisconsin Territory that had been estranged from the Wisconsin Territory’s La Pointe County.
The part of St. Croix County allocated to Wisconsin became the parental county to Pierce and Polk Counties, and formed significant portions of Dunn, Barron, Washburn and Burnett Counties.
On June 12, 1899, a deadly F5 tornado struck New Richmond. The tornado’s damage path was 400 yards (370 m) wide and 46 miles (74 km) long. The tornado formed upon the banks of the St. Croix River, south of Hudson. Moving to the northeast across St. Croix County, the tornado passed through the villages of Burkhardt and Boardman previously striking New Richmond head on leveling the entire concern district and half the town’s residences. The storm continued on towards the northeast, narrowly missing the town of Deer Park before crossing into Polk County, where it another time narrowly missed the towns of Clear Lake, Richardson and Clayton. Once the tornado passed into Barron County, it struck the village of Arland (No reported fatalities or immense injuries) before breaking taking place southwest of Barron. The tornado killed 117 people (Four at Boardman, two in Polk County and the perch at New Richmond), including at least 20 people who died from their injuries in the days after the storm. Largely in thanks to disclose aid and donations, most of the town was rebuilt by the behind winter. Today, the tornado stands as the deadliest ever recorded in Wisconsin and the 9th deadliest tornado in U.S. history.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total Place of 736 square miles (1,910 km2), of which 722 square miles (1,870 km2) is house and 13 square miles (34 km2) (1.8%) is water.
New Richmond Regional Airport (KRNH) serves the county and surrounding communities.

Quotes & Sayings About Not Talking To Your Boyfriend
Enjoy reading and share 32 famous quotes about Not Talking To Your Boyfriend with everyone.
Only to me ... Why does he take me home every wednesday? Why did he run to me when his club activities ended? Why isn't he using formal language? Why is he talking to me? Why ... The more I think about it, the prouder I get. How does he feel about me? — Morishita Suu
That's your orgasm talking," I say. "You're not really in love with me."
"You can't tell me how I feel," he says. His voice gets quiet, trails off at the end. "I could be your boyfriend. — Laurie Elizabeth Flynn
You are playing cards with three Jeffs. One is your father, one is your
brother, and the other is your current boyfriend. All of them have seen
you naked and heard you talking in your sleep. Your boyfriend Jeff gets
up to answer the phone. To them he is a mirror, but to you he is a room. — Richard Siken
Do you see that man?" Isabelle asked, pointing at Simon. Apparently she was talking about him. "That's Simon Lewis, and he is my boyfriend. So if any of you think about trying to hurt him because he's a mundie or - may the Angel have mercy on your soul - pursuing him romantically, I will come after you, I will hunt you down, and I will crush you — Cassandra Clare
Dante said, "I tried talking Nora into a ride, but she keeps blowing me off."
"That's because she has a hard-A boyfriend. He must have been
homeschooled, because he missed all those valuable lessons we learned in kindergarten, like sharing. He finds out you took Nora for a ride, he'll wrap this shiny new Porsche around the nearest tree. — Becca Fitzpatrick
Blame your body. The whole biological purpose of existence is to mate, so from the time we hit puberty, our hormones are demanding us to couple up. Maybe it's basic instinct to feel inadequate if you're single."
"That's what sucks. There's so many more interesting things than guys, but guys are what we spend most of our time talking about."
"I think that's just the way it is, though. No matter what we do, it's always more special if there's a boyfriend to share it with."
"Or a best friend. — Daria Snadowsky
I swear, talking to you is like talking to a really good-looking and mildly stupid brick wall. — Derek Landy
He was a priest. Never try to fuck a priest. Even if they're talking about leaving the priesthood. That should be a rule somewhere. A former priest, maybe. And even then I don't know. The thing is, your big competition is God. And if God wants your boyfriend he's going to take him. Best to avoid the whole thing. — Marshall Thornton
What are you talking about? You're like a professional boyfriend."
"Thanks. You make me sound like a gigolo. — Stacy Kramer
I remember being 18, and my first boyfriend said to me, "Unless you're in the room, you don't know if it's true." We were talking about gossip. — Winona Ryder
Someone had given Georgie a magic phone and all she'd wanted to do with it is stay up late talking to her old boyfriend. If they'd given her a proper time machine, she probably would have used it to cuddle with him. Let someone else kill Hitler. — Rainbow Rowell
Hold it," Annabeth said. "I prefer my boyfriend with an un-melted brain. What exactly are we talking about here?" Carter — Rick Riordan
I wondered if they had rehearsed this weird three-way-talking thing they had going on. I imagined them sitting in a circle in their dorm room, brushing their hair and saying, Okay, so I'll say we feel bad, and then you'll say that your hot boyfriend thinks she's pathetic. — Rachel Hawkins
What we want in students is creativity and a willingness to fail. I always say to students, 'If you've never at some point stayed up all night talking to your new boyfriend about the meaning of life instead of preparing for the test, then you're not really an intellectual.' — Alison Gopnik
I am here to determine my relationship."
Simon goggled. She couldn't be talking about him. Could she?
"Do you see that man?" Isabelle asked, pointing at Simon. Apparently she was talking about him. "That's Simon Lewis, and he is my boyfriend. So if any of you think about trying to hurt him because he's a mundie or
may the Angel have mercy on your soul
pursuing him romantically, I will come after you, I will hunt you down and I will crush you to powder. — Cassandra Clare
Bone Daddy.
That's what they called him. A walking talking well-hung pleasure factory who, with a few easy orgasms, could bring you whatever your heart desired. Your boyfriend would propose, your boss would give you a raise. Rumor had it he could heal your scars, inside and out. If you satisfied his lust. — R.G. Alexander
Warren knows God doesn't chow down on Doritos or caviar. What he fails to see, however, is that there is no difference in principle between the old animal sacrifice theology and his own. Surely the same principle applies to emotional gratification. He is still manifestly talking about the care and feeding of God. His God, like an insecure boyfriend, seems to need emotional stroking. — Robert M. Price
I also think Valkyire's ex-boyfriend will come in handy here."
Ravel frowned, "The dead vampire?"
Valkyrie glared at him, "I think he means Fletcher."
"Oh. Sorry."
"Caelen was never my boyfriend."
"I didn't mean to-"
"We never talk about Caelen," Ghastly muttered."
"I'm really sorry, Valkyrie, Ravel said. "Fletcher's great. He's wonderful. I'm sure he'd be delighted to help, and having a teleporter here will certainly solve some problems. We'll arrange that, we'll get him over to you, start the ball rolling, as it were. Once again, sorry about bringing up the vampire."
Ghastly shot him a look whispered, "Why do you keep talking about him?"
"I can't help it," Ravel whispered back. "Now he's all I can think about."
"You realise," Valkyrie said, "that we can hear you both perfectly well. — Derek Landy
You don't have to be involved with my parents. Not if you don't want to be. Yes, you're the father,
but you aren't my boyfriend or husband. My family is my problem."
"I do," he said, before he even realized what he was saying. "I do want to be involved. With all of it.
We're talking about really making this work, about making a ... I don't know if we're talking about a
family, not in the traditional sense, but we're in this together, right?"
"That means I get to help you with parent things, and other unpleasantness. And you have to know
my brother. — Maisey Yates
Exactly why I don't have a boyfriend," I whisper, turning to the window. Because you've referenced The Lord of the Rings twice before lunch, or because you're talking to yourself? I have to admit, I've got me there. — David Arnold
I stole glances at Kaidan's bare skin while the others were busy talking. That's my boyfriend right there, I silently announced. — Wendy Higgins
Where's your boyfriend, District 12? Still hanging on?" She asks.
Well, as long as we're talking I'm alive. "He's out there now. Hunting Cato," I snarl at her. Then I scream at the top of my lungs. "Peeta!"
Clove jams her fist into my windpipe, very effectively cutting off my voice. But her head's whipping from side to side, and I know for a moment she's at least considering I'm telling the truth. Since no Peeta appears to save me, she turns back to me.
"Liar," she says with a grin. "He's nearly dead. Cato knows where he cut him. You've probably got him strapped up in some tree while you try to keep his heart going. What's in the pretty little backpack? That medicine for Lover Boy? Too bad he'll never get it. — Suzanne Collins
It's kind of like you, Bonnie. You cut off your long hair too. Just like Rapunzel."
"That's right, Katy. That's because a mean old witch locked me up at Tower Records, and I had to wait for my boyfriend to get out of jail and come rescue me."
"What the fu - heck are you talking about?" Finn asked, amending his curse at the last minute for the sake of the little girl who was hanging on every word.
A little snort escaped out of my nose at the incredulous look on his face, and Katy giggled.
"Bonnie Rae," Finn choked out, finally laughing, "can we please change the subject? — Amy Harmon
Nick spreads cream cheese on my bagel for me because it's hard to do with one hand. You need to hold the bagel and everything.
"You are the nicest boyfriend ever," I tell him and kiss his cheek.
"Gag," Devyn says.
"You're just jealous," Nick teases him and points his plastic knife at Devyn. "Which is ridiculous because you are the star of the school now that the wheelchair is totally gone. Everyone is talking about you."
"Star of the school?" Devyn asks. He takes a swig of Gatorade.
"All the girls." Nick gestures to the girls giggling behind them. "They like miracles. It's sexy. Remember how much play Jay Dahlberg got when he came back from being abducted?" He does not add by pixies because he does not have to.
"Really?" Devyn does this cheesy and really fake eyebrow wiggle thing so he looks like some sleezy porn dog. — Carrie Jones
I am at the hospital waiting for my friend with Noah. Which is a very couple-like thing to do. All you have to do is watch any teen drama - anytime one of the characters is close to death and/or in a coma, the boyfriend/girlfriend teams always end up at the hospital together.
We are eating together. (Another coupley thing to do.)
We are talking about my best friend, his girlfriend, and their secret problems that she somehow neglected to tell me. Which means that Noah is the one telling me secrets that even my best friend won't.
I like it. All of it. Being here, eating food, telling secrets, everything — Lauren Barnholdt
Your mother brought a strange man to this house once, Katarina. I had hoped it might be a few years before history repeated itself."
Kat rolled her eyes at the mention of her father. "Uncle Eddie, I brought Hale home ages ago," she reminded him; but her uncle just shook his head.
"I've known my great-niece's friend. A boyfriend, on the other hand ... that is a most different matter."
"Yes, sir," Hale said. He stood up a little straighter, spoke a little louder.
"You have a powerful family, boy."
"Yes, sir," Hale said. "Please don't hold them against me."
Then Eddie gave a wry smile. "Who says I was talking about them? — Ally Carter
I often think my boyfriend is going to leave me just from seeing how I talk to the dog. But you know, when you are talking to your dog, you are accessing this softer side of you. Everything else melts away. — Natasha Lyonne
Why can't there be just one place for gay kids, where we don't have to hide who we are? Hell, straight people have the whole rest of the world! They go around holding hands and kissing and talking about 'my-girlfriend-this' and 'my-boyfriend-that.' And they say we shove our lifestyle in their faces? That's a laugh! — Brent Hartinger
There are currently three places to obtain food in Dublin, where the prices vary according to whim: Chester's, the Fae, and the black market. If you ask me, they're all black. Of course nobody does ask me because nobody sees me because I lay low all the time and I've got a boyfriend who isn't much for talking.
I snort. I just thought of Jericho Barrons as my "boyfriend." I doubt that cataclysm was ever a boy and he certainly can't be called friendly.
It's official. I'm losing it. — Karen Marie Moning
--A blonde finds out her boyfriend is cheating on her so she goes out and buys a gun. When she goes to her boyfriend's house she indeed finds him with a redhead. She's about to shoot him and then, stricken by grief, she pulls the gun on herself. Her boyfriend yells to her, "No, don't do this!" "Shut up!" she yells back at him. "You're next, you bastard!" --A brunette, a redhead and a blonde were all talking one day. The — Anonymous
Hamilton had a complaint. "Why did you have to tell the cops I'm your boyfriend? That's gross, Amy. We're related!"
Amy was disgusted. "We had a common ancestor, like, five hundred years ago. Besides, if they think we're together, we only have to come up with one story, and I can do all the talking."
"Hey, I got an early acceptance to Notre Dame," Hamilton said defensively. "I can talk."
"Of course you can," Amy soothed. "It's what you say that might get us into trouble. — Gordon Korman
I left the sadomasochist dump with a girl from the south of France named Simone. She was wearing a tight blue dress with red wine spilled down the front of it. She was so drunk, she didn't care. "Fuck it," she kept saying in English, "you know?" The tattooed doorman called out an endearment to us as we emerged for his cave ... We linked arms and walked. Simone was talking about her new boyfriend, but I didn't listen. I was thinking about Lisa's shame at Naxos, trying to gloat. But Alex was right- even a young girls shame could be beautiful. — Mary Gaitskill
I should have known better. I shouldn't have let my guard down. That's been a big rule of mine for the last year or so. It's easy to get your heart broken or your shoes stolen."

Refereeing and Reflection
Running tabletop RPGs and working out what I did wrong afterwards.
Middle-Class Malefex
On 02/02/2020 07/06/2020 By ArthurIn Principia Malefex, Referee's Bookshelf, Tabletop RPGs
A while back in the comments, Joe from Uncaring Cosmos mentioned Principia Malefex as an example of a British-made RPG. I’d never heard of it, but poking further I thought it sounded rather intriguing – a horror RPG emerging during that strange time period in British RPG publishing which saw other up-and-coming small studios producing material like SLA Industries or Tales of Gargentihr, a product of the era in between the folding of Games Workshop and the rise of the D20 boom and the range of companies that reinvigorated the British RPG market by skilfully riding that wave. Intrigued, I decided to investigate further. What I found was… hm.
So, to provide more context: Principia Malefex is a self-published indie RPG which emerged in 1997, had a small trickle of supplements coming out for it, before a final burst of publishing activity occurred in 2002 prior to the game largely going dark. Poking around Google Groups to get this timeline straight showed a number of connections with Bath University, so if I had to speculate about where this game came from my informed guess would be that Alison Whetton, its primary designer, and her collaborators were members of Bath University’s tabletop games club, got the core book out in a burst of studenty enthusiasm, made a last bid to make a commercial success of the game when they graduated, and eventually came to the conclusion that this was a hiding to nowhere and moved on to other things.
1997-2002 puts the game before the boom in indie RPG publishing of the early-to-mid-2000s, and in particular before really solid advice on RPG self-publishing was widely circulating thanks to the efforts of The Forge and others. As a result, some of the production decisions here are… odd. The book itself is a faux-leatherbound volume, the title embedded in gold on the front cover and spine, with good-quality cream paper on the interior and a nice ribbon bookmark; in other words, the sort of production values which get applied to nice Kickstarter-exclusive “deluxe edition” copies of RPGs these days – and bear in mind that RPG production values have gone up remarkably in the last two decades. By the standards of the market in 1997, this would have seemed like a Seriously Big Deal, at least from the outside.
On the interior, there is absolutely no artwork and the book has very obviously been written up in Microsoft Word. Most of the text is in Times New Roman, the layout is a fairly basic single-column presentation, the actual layout job itself is competent enough, but it’s very obviously taken straight from Alison’s word processor to the page. Later supplements in the game line would have some rudimentary illustrations, but not this. Someone literally shat this out from a word processor into a book – which is another thing which makes me suspect a university connection since that’s the sort of thing you do to produce the library copy of a doctoral thesis, not a mass market product that you intend to sell to the general RPG-buying public.
In terms of the system… oh, dear. It’s very, very obviously the product of the prevailing mid-1990s attitude of “system doesn’t matter” which was promulgated by the likes of White Wolf, and whilst, yes, it is tremendous fun to sidestep away from the system and do some pure roleplaying in a session when the moment is right, the downside of that is the moment really does have to be right and everyone needs to be on the same page, and a good system not only helps you get on the same page to begin with, but also provides a useful resolution mechanism to use when you aren’t, or when the group’s less in the mood for pure roleplaying and more in the mood for a more game-ish experience.
Specifically, it’s sort of a Call of Cthulhu heartbreaker system. Stats are based on a 1-20 scale and are rolled against on D20, skills are based on a 1-200 scale and rolled against on D200, entirely pointlessly. (Like, if you have D10s available already – and you would need them to roll D200 to begin with – you may as well just do a D100 roll. The boost in granularity from D20 to D100 is very signfcant but the extra granularity from D100 to D200 doesn’t add much at this point.) You get bonuses to some skills based on your choice of character occupation and a pool of points to boost things with. So far, so familiar.
The thing is, starting characters in this are terrible. Granted, it is at least possible to produce a very incompetent starting character in Call of Cthulhu, but you’d have to work at it a bit – and even then, you probably have enough points to go in your career skills that you are at least baseline competent in those. On the other hand, many characters in Malefex will end up failing over half the time even in skills they have invested heavily in. At most, you might have one or two skills you can raise to the point of passing fairly consistently, whereas in Call of Cthulhu you actually have to work at it to avoid having at least a few skills above 50%.
Apply a similar level of slapdash-ness to the rest of the system and you’ve pretty much got Malefex down in system terms. One thing which is quite notable is that the selection of professions is a bit eccentric, with jobs ranging from spies (who get some pretty excellent skills, including enhanced Second Sight for spotting weird shit) to architects (who get a set of competences not really compatible with doing much in the way of occult adventure or intrepid investigation).
There’s not much rhyme or reason beyond them being fairly middle-class occupations; Whetton would later, in the Nocturne supplement (more later), explain this as a deliberate design choice, on the basis that well-heeled upper class characters have in a realistic modern-day UK setting have too many ways to get rid of problems by throwing money and privilege at them, whereas working class folk (she uses the term “lower class”, which is unfortunate), being used to more tenuous circumstances, aren’t going to get themselves as deep into trouble as middle class people. This is a more tenuous argument and seems to be based on an assumption that working class people are not going to have roots and community links prompting them to get involved in a situation, and an assumption that because working class people are in a more precarious economic situation they’re automatically tougher, though I agree with her that at the extreme low end of the economic spectrum, homeless folk are going to be more likely to just up sticks and leave than get involved in local trouble.
“Getting involved in local trouble” seems, so far as I can tell, to be the intended action of the game. The setting and assumed themes and general focus of gameplay feels, again, like a sort of Call of Cthulhu/World of Darkness heartbreaker, except the supernatural stuff is toned down – no, more toned down than that, no, more than that, even more low-key than you’re thinking, no, even more toned down than that – and the action takes place in modern-day UK suburbs and council estates and the like where the player character stick their noses into local problems.
What examples are we given of scenarios? Well, the three fully-developed sample scenarios in the core rulebook are as follows:
A situation where the PCs are drawn into one side or the other of an extremely mundane legal dispute between a builder’s firm and one of their former clients. There is nothing supernatural happening here.
A scenario where the PCs discover that the folk of a small town regard a reclusive woman who lives there as being some sort of witch or monster. She isn’t and there is nothing supernatural happening here.
A sort of long-term between-scenario running thread you can drop into your game where a strange lady haunts one of your PCs. This is supernatural but the scenario specifically states that the PC can never really discover anything meaningful about it.
I call these “fully-developed sample scenarios”, but I’m potentially being over-generous there; they more resemble fairly basic notes outlining a scenario without much evident of extensive development of playtesting to consider how the initial seed of an idea can be improved on or taken to the next level.
Even so, from this sparse material I get the impression that in Malefex we are getting an insight into a localised roleplaying subculture – maybe localised to the Bath University-connected scene, maybe localised even more specifically to Whetton and her social circle. There seem to be a range of underlying assumptions going on here which are explained to the reader at best briefly, at worst not at all, characteristic of people who assume that the way they do things are more universal and generally understood than they actually are.
For instance, there seems to be no baseline assumption that player characters will be operating as a party, or even on the same side, at least at game start. It is suggested that you instead look to their individual careers to figure out ways they could be involved in the scenario, and it seems like the game is entirely amenable to player characters working at cross-purposes. (They could weigh in on either side of the builders’ firm dispute, for instance.) In general there’s an admirable commitment to giving the PCs a free hand in who they end up siding with which is rare in RPGs of this vintage.
What’s also rare in RPGs of this vintage is how keen the game is to throw wholly mundane scenarios out there. The problem is that many of these scenarios inevitably end up feeling rather dull. It’s not that a story needs the supernatural in order to be exciting – it’s just that minor legal disputes tend not to be that exciting or high-stakes to anyone who isn’t one of the immediately involved parties. I think the intention is to present a game where you can come up with a scenario concept just from glancing over the nearest newspaper – the book specifically suggests this as a way of coming up with ideas, in fact – but I feel like 99% of people who sign up for a horror game of the sort Malefex bills itself as would feel dissatisfied with being tasked with meddling in a petty lawsuit.
With respect to the setting details, in broad brushstrokes it’s a standard horror RPG “basically the modern day, only there’s supernatural stuff hidden away”, except the supernatural aspects are rather thinly developed beyond a glum little magic system. Whereas most such RPGs put a lot of focus on the supernatural stuff (because, after all, the participants are residents of the modern day and have widespread access to source material on it), Malefex decides that its audience really needs to have the modern world explained to them and spends a lot of energy on that. This is particularly irksome when one considers that the likely audience for Malefex, at least early on, are likely to be British gamers deep enough into their exploration of the hobby to be aware of niche indie releases like Malefex and to have the spending money to blow on a leatherbound hardback.
The setting information includes great gobs of material which no British gamer would ever need because we happen to live in this society, gamers from overseas could work out with a near-trivial amount of research and may well know already if they’ve had any exposure to British media, and in several cases are almost certain to have no real bearing on the outcome of a game. (Since when did the fine distinction between a Private Limited Company and a Public Limited Company really have a crucial effect on an RPG scenario?)
In addition, very little of it is explained in sufficient detail to persuade me that it reflects lived experience – it feels more like a student doing an essay on a subject they’re unfamiliar with. That’s another thing which makes me suspect the University of Bath connection – this feels like a book that a clever undergraduate who’d had a slightly uneventful upbringing might write, the sort of student whose idea of what society is like is still largely rooted in wherever it was they happened to grow up and hasn’t had enough breadth of experience to really depict other people’s lives convincingly without resorting to mass media stereotypes. (I can just about remember being such a student myself, which would have largely coincided with when Malefex came out come to think of it.)
It’s not all bad, mind. There’s quite an interesting section on dealing with difficult content in RPGs, including a discussion of rape which actually manages to be substantially more grown-up than any treatment of the subject of a similar vintage in RPG books I am aware of. Whetton clams that rape is rare (which statistics would suggest otherwise), but after that misstep goes on to give a fairly reasonable discussion of why you should be goddamn careful about including it in a game and if you have any doubt as to whether your group is interested in exploring the topic and whether you can handle it appropriately, you 100% ought to leave it out. She also offers a testimonial from a player who discusses a situation where their PC was raped by someone else’s PC for no apparent reason whatsoever – the player of the rapist then being very surprised when their PC got killed and their victim’s PC did fuck all to save them. It’s quite clear that Whetton has put a lot of thought into this subject and other aspects of so-called “dark” games, and in some respects the game was ahead of its time.
However, in other aspects the setting material is outright mishandled. In large spots it seems largely informed by the media, especially Britain’s horrible, trashy right-wing press (that “open a newspaper for a scenario idea” concept comes back to bite hard), perhaps with a side order of right-leaning action movies. Yes, this is a modern-day horror setting, so a pessimistic portrayal of the modern world is unsurprising, but the particular pessimism involved is reminiscent less of the richly gothic atmosphere the game seems to want to evoke and more of the rant of a cab driver who’s spent too much time reading Murdoch-owned newspapers.
Sometimes this comes down to particular talking points – the book is positively obsessed with the idea of people getting sent to jail for violence allegedly inflicted in self-defence, framing the idea in terms which are recognisably the way the UK press would tend to frame such stories. Sometimes this extends to more general themes – to stay in the realm of criminal justice, for instance, the idea that the courts are rigged and criminals get away with it without their just punishment and so on is riddled throughout the book.
It is possible that this doesn’t represent Whetton’s actual views, but simply reflects an ultra-cynical take on the world that is deliberately chosen for the purposes of presenting a grimdark setting. On the other hand, the grimdark setting here doesn’t seem to have anything to say beyond “people are shitty”. Behold this prose:
Adult mortals do not use the word enemy in these times, for it is too true for them. They cherish those they loathe and use hate to excuse their treachery. When liars are esteemed and thieves made heroes then only the strongest can afford honour, and they have all but forgotten it.
Should their interests lie elsewhere the friend who guards your back may be your truest foe. Fate may demand an alliance with those you despise, where the word of an ally is the blade of an enemy.
You cannot fight directly, for it is uncivilised. The knife in the back is the order of the day. Your foes are ruthless if crossed and will not hesitate to drag you down. Tread carefully, conceal yourself and hide your feelings. Be subtle. Use what you can and who you can. Kill with a smile, for mercy is costly. Needlessly cruel, blind to other’s needs, your enemies, those you can find, surely deserve their own downfall and you have the power to bring it. A word in the right place and they can fall. They’re only human. Like you.
That’s from the intro section; here’s another quote from the start of the setting section, in case you thought that was an aberration:
There are very few good people in the world. There are very few that are actively evil. But there are a great many who are evil merely because they do nothing, the ones who will cheat and lie because everyone does it, because they do not think that this is evil. These are the people who know that evil happens but who close their eyes, close their minds to it, for the sake of a quiet life. The characters will most likely fall into this third group. And the tragedy is that they do not even know that it is wrong.
This kicks off a long section in which it is declared that the country is in an absolutely hopeless state, no political party will get us out of the shit, but also that simple apathy is just as evil as active participation in the evils of society. (This sounds disturbingly like the start of the sales pitch for various forms of extremism – and in the UK now as in the 1990s, the extreme right would be playing this tune particularly loud.)
Now, there’s the kernel of the idea of an interesting game in there – a sort of bleakly cynical soap opera RPG, a sort of Eastenders take on Fiasco, in which ordinary British citizens do horrible shit to each other in the midst of their petty squabbles. That’s certainly the sort of game the “meddle in a minor legal battle” scenario suggests. On the other hand, it’s not the sort of game that the sample fiction or any part of the game relating to the supernatural suggests, which is much more “ordinary people confront mysteries” in intention. As is so often the case with RPG heartbreakers, the problem with Principia Malefex is that it seems to include a whole bunch of stuff because it’s under the impression that horror RPGs must include those features, rather than grabbing onto its central novel idea and making that the cornerstone of something designed to support and build on that idea; it’s worse here, though, because Malefex doesn’t even seem entirely sure of what that central idea is.
The support line which came after it is not much help. So far as I can tell the first supplement was Nocturne, a booklet with a print quality reminiscent of a cheap free handout at an academic conference. Microsoft Word is still the interior aesthetic, there is no interior art, it’s even spiral bound rather than presenting a more professional-looking binding. It includes a brace of adventures, some extra rules, and a two-page spread of further explanation of the intent of the game which emphasises that there are no supernatural puppetmasters in the game, and the point is that people are entirely responsible for their own actions and must bear the consequences of them. “The one thing, however, that this game is never meant to do is to glorify evil,” we are told – though if the game is spending all its time calling you a fucking asshole for being a typical human being rather than some saintly saint, that’s hardly more appealing. (This is also where we get the clarification that the PCs should be middle class.)
This section also explains the scenario design ethos, which is of presenting a situation which you as the referee then do the work of working your PCs into rather than providing a predetermined role and assumed route for the PCs to take. That’s fine and a step above 1990s rote railroading, but at the same time that doesn’t excuse failing to provide really interesting scenarios. Take a look at the adventures provided here – you have:
A scenario about a contentious road-building project and an archaeological site threatened by it. Nothing supernatural happens, it’s basically exactly as mundane as the “fuck with a lawsuit” adventure in the core book.
A scenario with an actual investigation into a mystery with supernatural aspects – and whose conclusion is as railroaded as any low-tier World of Darkness scenario from this era. (The section on assigning experience points actually says “The characters will be little more than by-bystanders in this adventure” – I assume they mean “bystanders” but given that the scenario consistently calls one of the characters “Cartrer” when “Carter” would be a much more natural-sounding British name, it’s evident that it hasn’t enjoyed much in the way of proofreading.)
An awkward mess where it’s clearly got some railroady intentions but is rather muddled as to what route it intends the railroad to take, or how half the information in the scenario is supposed to come out.
Later multi-scenario supplements would include a similar mix of drearily mundane scenarios and more supernatural investigations; Fool’s Paradise, a set of scenarios set in the drab British suburbs, and Best of Friends – a quickstart booklet containing basic rules, a truncated reprint of one of the Fool’s Paradise scenarios, and a couple of scenarios from upcoming supplements that never saw release – offered such joys as “Finding out a friend is in trouble with a loan shark”, “Getting caught up in a mundane bank robbery”, and “Generic supernatural mysteries which feel somewhat underdeveloped”.
Late in the game line – in other words, in the early 2000s – a couple of single-scenario booklets were put out which presented situations with somewhat more development – Family Ties and Wolf’s Head – but these still felt like paltry (and astonishingly cheaply-produced) offerings even by the standard of indie releases of the time. They also have some major lapses of research – Wolf’s Head grossly misrepresents the state of British divorce law at the time (and presently) by suggesting that there is such a thing as a “no-fault” divorce in British law (there isn’t); in context they seem to be using the term to mean an amicable, mutually-agreed divorce with a minimum of legal fuss and fighting involved, but that is very much not the same thing. That’s nitpicking, but by being as rooted in modern-day realism as it is Malefex practically invites this sort of scrutiny.
Ultimately, despite making a brave attempt to keep the game line going well beyond the point it should have been apparent that there just wasn’t that much interest in the game, Principia Malefex feels like a game which never quite hit its groove. There’s clearly some very specific ideas going into it, but the design tools used to explore those ideas don’t quite deliver on it and it keeps second-guessing itself as to what it’s supposed to be about. A comprehensive redesign taking into account modern indie RPG and storygame techniques might help, but that would require a firm decision to be made about what the game is actually about, and the redesign necessary would be so wide-ranging as to effectively be a whole new game.
Astonishingly, Whetton and pals seem to still be paying the bills on Malefex’s web-hosting, despite the game line having been effectively on ice for 18 years – no new material came out for it since 2002 (a supposed 2010 supplement, Scholars and Criminals, seems to be a compilation of freebie material available on the website since 2002-ish), and as of 2010 Ragged Angel had been tweeting about shifting production over to Lightning Source, which would allow them to produce Malefex material on a print-on-demand basis, but this seems to have largely been in the interests of serving the “long tail” of interest in existing materials rather than producing anything new.
Perhaps there is some slim chance of a resurgence in the future, though Ragged Angel largely seems to have moved on to different interests. In 2014 they announced a partnership with OneBookShelf, though I don’t seem to be able to find the Malefex product line on DriveThruRPG at all so it seems like something stalled their. Their corporate Twitter has been silent since 2016. Their Companies House registration has been kept up, but that is far from evidence of there being actual ongoing activity.
There might be a mystery there. But it’s too drab and dull to motivate me to look into it, much like Malefex itself. By the time the game line managed to get someone contributing art, the pieces they produced tended towards grey, dreary landscapes, which matches the overall style of the game line’s prose perfectly. Principia Malefex, at its worst, is as dull as a phone book; at its best, it’s so bitingly miserable that it’s hard to see where the fun is. Somewhere in between is either a Call of Cthulhu heartbreaker or an interesting “vicious middle class Little Englanders backstab each other into oblivion” game, neither of which manages to be realised.

Chuck Turner turns to weight loss surgery after his wife is murdered.
Christopher Koulouris: About author bio at bottom of article.
Chuck Turner weight loss surgery.
Chuck Turner weight loss surgery. How emotional despair sent one man eating his misery away before making a life or death decision.
Depression can lend itself in many forms. From abusing alcohol, sex, drugs, gambling and in the case of Chuck Turner of Beaumont, Texas, over eating.
After the murder of his beloved wife, Chuck Turner took to eating to compensate for his loss and gnawing away at his pain. Yet so rabid had the man’s grief become he soon found himself piling on the pounds and then some. In Chuck Turner’s case it led to the man putting on over 400 pounds as he now ballooned at a life threatening 700 pounds.
Tells Chuck Turner via the learning channel on the show’s feature, My 600-lb Life: ‘When I was a kid growing up I didn’t see myself getting really big like I am now,’
‘I was a normal sized kid. I’d say it was my thirties when I started putting the weight on gradually.’
‘My weight got up to 250lbs, then 280lbs and it reached about 300lbs and then my wife was murdered. It just floored me.’
‘She was a good person, my best friend. I just couldn’t take it so I turned to food.’
‘I shut the world out and just locked myself away and ate fast food three times a day. I wasn’t even thinking about food – I’d just blank my mind out.’
By now married a second time to Nissa, Chuck Turner’s burgeoning weight gain began to take a toll not just on his health but that on his relationship too. Under immense strain, Nissa would begin to balk at leaving Chuck, taking along with her his adoptive son, Nathan.
It was at this juncture Chuck Stone had to do something. He could choose to eat himself into denial or face the reality of his situation.
Told Chuck Stone who by then was experiencing real health issues: ‘My weight makes things a lot harder on me, it makes it hard to breathe, it’s hard for me to stand and get around. It’s hard for me to do normal things; my weight has handicapped me.
‘I hurt a lot, I have a lymphedema on my leg and right now on a scale of one to 10, the pain is a nine.
‘I’m tired and exhausted and I just can’t keep doing this. I’d rather be a dead man than have to live like this the rest of my life.’
Chuck Turner weight loss surgery
And then came the turning point:
Tells Chuck Stone: ‘The main thing that really upsets me is putting a lot of strain on my wife. I can’t do my part of all the things I’m supposed to do. And I want to provide for Nissa, to give her the life she deserves.
‘I think losing weight would make a world of difference; it would make me a better dad and a better husband.
‘The thought of leaving her behind, of leaving the baby behind hurts. I’m ready to do something about this weight. I need to get it off or I’m going to die.’
Added Nissa: ‘Marriage is extremely difficult when you are married to someone who weighs over 600lb.
‘We don’t have any intimate relationship – our marriage is much more caregiver/patient. He eats enough to feed 20 people.’
‘I just feel like a servant. Being a single mum is one thing, but being a single mum when there’s another human being there is much harder.
‘Our family won’t last much longer if something doesn’t change. I want Chuck to get help. I would like for him to have a happy life and have an opportunity to live.’
Sure that weight loss surgery was his only option, Chuck made the decision to travel to a hospital in Houston that specializes in performing weight loss procedures on the morbidly obese.
Speaking ahead of the operation, surgeon Dr Nowzaradan told: ‘Chuck has very unhealthy eating habits and if they continue then surgery won’t be a good option for him.’
At Dr Nowzaradan’s insistence, Chuck Stone embarked on a liquid diet to lose 35lb before going under the knife in a bid to make surgery less risky.
Although the surgery was a success, the beleaguered Chuck Stone admitted he still had cravings to quell.
Tells Chuck Stone: ‘I thought the surgery would take away the cravings, but it hasn’t been that easy. I’m eating less but I still like good food that tastes good.
‘Now that the surgery is over and done with, I know what I can eat and how much I can eat. if you’ve eaten more than you’re supposed to it will really make you sick.’
A year after the operation, Chuck Stone says he’s feeling better than ever and says his dramatic weight loss has helped him rethink his life.
Tells Stone: ‘It is a very scary reality. I better wake up and get serious. I always thought I was my weight that was the issue, but the reason I put it on was because of thing I hadn’t dealt with.
‘I know I have to come to terms with so many of my issues to get my life in order. I don’t know why I get angry like I do. I just lash out, and Nissa doesn’t deserve it and I feel so bad when I do.
‘I realised there was a lot of pain I hadn’t dealt with and it’s been eating away at me, creating this anger inside me and driving me to food. So many of my issues come from not dealing with the death of my first wife.
Adding: ‘My whole life is changed and I feel like a new man. I’m on the road to being a better husband and father.
‘Losing the weight has given me a sense of movement, freedom and confidence. Now I know I can financially provide for my family
‘A year ago I was a walking dead man. Weight loss surgery has saved my life. I know I have a long way to go but I also know I can do it. I’m ready to move forward with my life.’
Weight loss surgery can be an excellent option for people who have been struggling for a long time to lose weight. If you are motivated by Chuck’s story and think this might be right for you then read up on Renew Bariatrics‘ weight loss surgery guide to get a better idea of the procedure and what to expect.

Chinese Bank With $100 Billion In Assets Is About To Collapse
While the western world (and much of the eastern) has been preoccupied with predicting the consequences of Trump's accelerating global trade/tech war and whether the Fed will launch QE before or after it sends rates back to zero, Beijing has quietly had its hands full with avoiding a bank run in the aftermath of Baoshang Bank's failure and keeping the interbank market - which has been on the verge of freezing - alive.
Unfortunately for the PBOC, Beijing was racing against time to prevent a widespread panic after it opened the Pandora's box when it seized Baoshang Bank, the first official bank failure in an odd replay of what happened with Bear Stearns back in 2008, when JPMorgan was gifted the historic bank for pennies on the dollar.
And with domino #1 down, the question turned to who is next, and could it be China's Lehman.
As a reminder, back in May, shortly after the shocking failure of China's Baoshang Bank (BSB), and its subsequent seizure by the government - the first takeover of a commercial bank since the Hainan Development Bank 20 years ago - the PBOC panicked and injected a whopping 250 billion yuan via an open-market operation, the largest since January. Alas, as we said at the time, it was too little to late, and with the interbank market roiling, with Negotiable Certificates of Deposit (NCD) and repo rates soaring (in some occult cases as high as 1000%) we said that it's just a matter of time before another major Chinese bank collapses.
And, in order to present the list of the most likely candidates, will picked those names that - just like Baoshang - had delayed publishing their latest annual reports, the biggest red flag suggesting an upcoming solvency "event." The list is below.

Disney is just, the worst.
MuppetMueller never had the chance to exonerate because he never had the power to exonerate.

Trump's exonerated because we found out that they flat. out. lied, about it all.
Trump has presumption of innocence.

No charge = No crime
You can't obstruct a crime that never happened.

They can see what you see, hear what you hear, etc. They can even make you dream like in the movie "Inception". The tech has most likely existed even before the movie "The Matrix" was created. They can probably take control of people remotely similar to how people in the movie turn into agents.
Some capabilities of their tech can also be found in the lyrics of the song "Sleeping Awake" by POD. It's from the soundtrack of the movie "The Matrix Reloaded".

The tech has most likely also been used on the Wachowski brothers to turn them into "sisters" now (idiots probably don't know about the tech). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wachowskis
Edward Snowden most likely knows about this tech and gave information about it to China and Russia. That's why (((Q))) likes to threaten Snowden regularly.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is Suing Google for 50 Million Dollars for Censoring Her Campaign
Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has filed a federal lawsuit against Google for suspending her campaign’s advertising account following the first debate in June.
Gabbard was the most searched candidate at the time.
Google had suspended the campaign’s advertising account for six hours from June 27th into June 28, immediately following the debate while searches for her were trending.
The lawsuit was filed in a Los Angeles federal court on Thursday, the New York Times reports. They are seeking an injunction against Google to prevent them from continuing to meddle in the election and damages of at least $50 million.
“Google’s discriminatory actions against my campaign are reflective of how dangerous their complete dominance over internet search is, and how the increasing dominance of big tech companies over our public discourse threatens our core American values,” Rep. Gabbard said in a statement to the Times. “This is a threat to free speech, fair elections, and to our democracy, and I intend to fight back on behalf of all Americans.”
A Google spokesperson told the Hill that the account was suspended due to sudden “large spending changes” that were detected automatically.
“We have automated systems that flag unusual activity on all advertiser accounts – including large spending changes – in order to prevent fraud and protect our customers,” the spokeswoman said.
“In this case, our system triggered a suspension and the account was reinstated shortly thereafter.”
Her campaign says that they had increased spending as she had become the most searched candidate following her performance in the debate.
The lawsuit also alleges that Google is sending their campaign emails to people’s spam folders at “a disproportionately high rate” compared to other campaigns.
“Google’s arbitrary and capricious treatment of Gabbard’s campaign should raise concerns for policymakers everywhere about the company’s ability to use its dominance to impact political discourse, in a way that interferes with the upcoming 2020 presidential election,” the lawsuit said. “To this day, Google has not provided a straight answer — let alone a credible one — as to why Tulsi’s political speech was silenced when millions of people wanted to hear from her.”
Rep. Gabbard, a veteran, has broad appeal across party lines for her staunch anti-war and anti-censorship platform. She faces pushback from many establishment Democrats due to her blasting the party in 2016 for rigging the primaries in favor of Hillary Clinton.

A couple years ago I went down the Disney hole digging on reddit after I ran across a thread about tunnels and other pedo habbenings at Disney. One thread was written by the son(?), if I remember correctly of a man who worked at Disney World. I'm workfagging so I will see what I can find when I get a chance.
Another thing I just remembered was a submarine ride at Disney World. I remember not wanting to ride it when I was 5, thus was in the mid 80's.

Ukraine Seizes Russian Oil Tanker, Moscow Threatens "Consequences"
Ukraine’s security services said on Thursday they had detained a Russian oil tanker that had blocked Ukrainian warships near Crimea in November, drawing reaction from Russia which vowed ‘consequences’ should Russians aboard the tanker be taken hostage.
On Thursday, Ukraine’s security service seized Russian tanker Neyma, which Ukraine believes took part in the incident in the Kerch Strait near Crimea in November 2018.
Russia seized at the end of November three Ukrainian ships near Crimea in an incident that risked spilling over into a wider conflict between the two countries, exacerbating the disputes between Moscow and Kiev over oil and gas resources and infrastructure.
Russia—which annexed Crimea in 2014, for which the U.S. and the EU imposed sanctions on Moscow—said at the time that three Ukrainian vessels had violated its state border in waters near Crimea.
Ukraine, for its part, said that it had informed Russia about the plans for the ship movements and said that the seizing of the vessels was “another act of armed aggression” by Russia.
The November 2018 incident was the first open conflict between Russian and Ukrainian militaries in recent years. Tensions had been rising over the access to the Kerch Strait, where the incident took place, and the Sea of Azov.
Today, Ukraine said that it believes that the Neyma was the same ship with a changed name that took part in the seizure of the Ukrainian ships in November. The investigation found that the Neyma tanker changed its name to Nika Spirit to conceal its involvement in the “illegal acts and an act of aggression that took place on November 25, 2018,” Ukraine said.
Russia, for its part, said there would be consequences soon “if Russians have been taken hostages.”
Russian lawmaker Vladimir Dzhabarov, who is deputy chairman of the committee on international affairs at Russia’s upper house of Parliament, said that Ukraine seizing the Russian tanker today was “absolutely illegal.”

The Dark Sexual Assault Allegations That Have Tainted the Walt Disney Company
For years, the Walt Disney Company has labeled itself creator of “the happiest place on earth.” However, the company has been hit with multiple sexual assault cases through the years, from Disney executives to Disney cruise lines to Disney theme parks. Here are some of the dark sexual assault secrets the company has tried to keep under wraps.
Sexual abuse from an executive - December 2017, Disney executive Jon Heely was charged with three counts of sexual abuse.
The rape case of Hector Herrera - 2015, 26-year-old Disney employee Hector Herrera was arrested for raping a woman outside of Downtown Disney’s House of Blues late one night.
Dream cruise turned nightmare - 2014, a 13-year-old girl on a Disney Dream cruise accused one of the employees of molesting her.
A series of gropes - Ahman Bhatia was arrested in summer 2016 for groping multiple young girls at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon park.
A family vacation turned devastating - 2011, a single mother of two had booked a vacation for her children through a Disney reservations clerk.
Rape between co-workers - 2013, Dana Wierzbicki wrote a personal essay for xoJane detailing the night she was raped by one of her Disney co-workers. Wierzbicki was part of the Disney college program.
A push for change - After Wierzbicki’s experience turned heads, a campaign was launched on ==Change.org== asking Disney to change its sexual assault policy.

Recc-e-Recc-e-RECCESS:In the United States, a recess appointment is an appointment by the President of a federal official when the U.S. Senate is in recess. Under the U.S. Constitution's Appointments Clause, the president is empowered to nominate, and with the advice and consent (confirmation) of the United States Senate, make appointments to high-level policy-making positions in federal departments, agencies, boards, and commissions. A recess appointment under Article II, Section 2, Clause 3 of the Constitution is an alternative method of appointing officials that allows the filling of vacancies to maintain the continuity of administrative government through the temporary filling of offices during periods when the Senate is not in session.
On occasion, and controversially, this power has also been used by presidents to temporarily install an unpopular nominee by sidestepping the Senate's role in the confirmation process, and the Senate has taken measures from time to time to prevent a President making recess appointments.
A recess appointment must be confirmed by the Senate by the end of the next session of Congress, or the appointment expires. In current practice this means that a recess appointment must be approved by roughly the end of the next calendar year, and thus could last for almost two years.

Castaway Cay - Disney's Private Island
Castaway Cay Overview
Castaway Cay is Disney's private island in the Bahamas and is always a highlight of their Caribbean cruises.
If you're expecting a Mickey shaped island with black, red and gold umbrellas, guess again. While this is the tropics a'la Disney, its serene setting is the perfect accompaniment to your cruise.
The first thing that you'll notice is that Castaway Cay has its very own dock. No tendering to this island- you step off the ship and you're there.
The next thing you notice is a pristine beach lined with colorful umbrellas. Each one is the centerpiece for two adjustable lounge chairs and two beach chairs. There are a few hammocks scattered about for your use as well.
What you're looking at is the "Family Beach" which all are welcome to use. For guests 18 and over, Serenity Bay is the "Adult Beach" and there's also a Teen Beach.
As you step off the ship, a friendly crew member hands you two towels. From there you can walk to the beach or you can head to the Tram Station. Here you'll be transported to the Family/Teen Beach. For guests wanting to visit Serenity Bay Adult Beach, there's a second tram that will take you there.
Not only is the water crystal clear, it's comfortably warm for most of the year and since it's sheltered, the tide comes and goes with barely a ripple.
What's the Caribbean without snorkeling? There's a "trail" dedicated for this purpose that you're welcome to explore. Another popular tropical venue is the Stingray Adventure where you can book an excursion and interact with these fascinating sea creatures.
There's something about sunshine and salt water that makes everyone hungry. Listen for the announcement that Cookie's and Cookies Too is open and serving lunch. (This is included in your cruise fare.) There will be an array of seasonal fresh fruit and barbecue favorites including hamburgers, chicken, hot dogs and the best potato salad you've ever tasted.

10 Secrets Of Disney Cruise Line’s Castaway Cay
October 14, 2016 Janice Brady 3 Comments

Secrets Castaway Cay Disney Cruise Line
Castaway Cay is a private island in the Bahamas which serves as the exclusive port for the Disney Cruise Line ships. The island is 3 miles long and consists of 1,000 acres, but only 55 acres are developed. It is located near Great Abaco Island and was formerly known as Gorda Cay. As with all things Disney, Imagineers create a backstory and history for every attraction, shop or show, and Castaway Cay is no different. When you first arrive on the island you see the island’s story:
“Three explorers set sail to the scattered islands of the Bahamas in search of fame and fortune. They brought along their families and a diverse crew. Through mild mishap and extreme good fortune, they located the objects of their desire–sunken treasures and the secret of youth. Though castaway on this island, they had no desire to leave due to the breathtaking beauty of this tropical paradise. Visitors to this island can still see the original structures built by the explorers and take part in many of the same pleasures our castaways enjoyed years ago. Disney Cruise Line welcomes you to the island paradise of your dreams, Castaway Cay.”
#1 ~ OWNERSHIP
It is commonly believed that Disney owns Castaway Cay. The island , Gorda Cay, is actually owned by the Bahamian Government and Disney leases the island from them. The current lease will expire in 2096. It took eighteen months, $25 million and 50,000 truckloads of sand to transform Gorda Cay into Castaway Cay, a castaway-themed island with buildings designed to look like they had been built from timbers following a shipwreck.

Palestine’s Abbas suspends ALL agreements with Israel
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has announced that all standing agreements with the state of Israel will be suspended indefinitely, following the bulldozing of homes in the occupied West Bank.
President Abbas announced the decision on Thursday afternoon, and said it would take effect by Friday. The move comes in response to the Israeli government’s demolition of homes in Wadi Hummus, a Palestinian community in southeast Jerusalem.

Mom seeks Supreme ruling on minor son's sex change against her will
A mom whose juvenile son was helped in sex-changed procedures by officials in Minnesota against her wishes is seeking a determination from the U.S. Supreme Court on whether that’s right.
Officials with the Thomas More Society on Wednesday asked the high court to review a decision from the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that essentially endorsed the decision by county officials to shepherd the boy through a sex change.
The petition for a writ of certiorari is in the case Anmarie Calgaro v. St. Louis County et al and explains Calgaro’s due process rights were trampled when the county and its referred health providers ended her parental control over her minor son without her permission or a court order of emancipation.
Erick Kaardal, special counsel for the Thomas More Society, explained Calgaro’s right to supervise her child’s welfare, educational and medical care decisions were ripped away by St. Louis County authorities without even parental notice.
“It’s a parent’s worst nightmare,” he explained. “Anmarie Calgaro’s child, while a minor, was steered through a life-changing, permanent body altering process, becoming a pawn in someone else’s sociopolitical agenda and being influenced by those who have no legal or moral right to usurp the role of a parent.”
“Unbelievably,” he continued, “Minnesota statutes authorize a county to deem a minor ’emancipated’ to receive welfare payments to live on their own and allow medical providers to void parental input if it determines the minor is living apart from the parents and is managing personal financial affairs. And the St. Louis County School District in Minnesota has a custom and practice of barring a parent for more than two years from involvement in the child’s education after a child is deemed by the school principal, not by a court order, to be emancipated.”

Say 40 children from Disney Cruise arrive on an island to go snorkeling. They stay for about an hour and then arrive back on the ship with 45 children.
Or 45 children from Disney Cruise arrive on an island to go snorkeling. They stay for about an hour and then arrive back on the ship with 40 children.
See how it works? Disney Cruise ships are trafficking children in and out of the country. And there are probably many more islands where this is happening.

Chinese purchases of soybeans during the 12-month period ending in May fell by more than 75 percent.
The U.S. government says that it will give $16 billion in additional aid to farmers who have been hurt by President Donald Trump's tariffs, the Wall Street Journal reported.
What's the background?
In March 2018, Trump announced steep tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum to the United States. This triggered a series of retaliatory tariffs by China, which were met with additional tariffs by the U.S.
China was a huge buyer of U.S. agricultural products, including sorghum and soybeans. U.S. exports to China in the first three months of 2019 decreased by $17.1 billion compared to the same time period in 2018.
Without the lucrative Chinese market, some U.S. exporters were forced to sell their soybeans to Iran at a discount. While the U.S. has imposed strict sanctions on Iran, agricultural products like soybeans are exempt.
In July 2018, the Trump administration announced that it would be giving $12 billion in emergency aid to farmers who were hurt by these tariffs.
What happened now?
"Farmers will not stand alone in facing unjustified retaliatory tariffs while President Trump continues working to solidify better and stronger trade deals around the globe," USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue said on Thursday.
While the U.S. and China have made some indication that they want to reach a permanent trade agreement, they have been unable to come up with a deal so far. According to the Wall Street Journal, Chinese purchases of soybeans during the 12-month period ending on May 31 fell by more than 75 percent.
The Wall Street Journal reported that applicants for this aid will be limited to $500,000 each, with farmers who earned $900,000 or more between 2014 and 2016 — before the tariffs took effect or Trump took office — banned from the bailout.
In addition to soybean farmers, hog, dairy, and cranberry farmers will also be among those eligible for this aid.

Would make sense. He was suppose to be on one of the planes on 9/11 that hit the towers, but he was hung over & missed his flight.
If you have seen all of the Family Guy episodes/American Dad, he has been calling all this shit out YEARS ago.
The only time he got "in trouble" was when the show was still on Fox, & they refused to air the Episode;
"When You Wish Upon a Weinstein"
Because it was all about the Jews. Its fucking hilarious.
"Reception and lawsuit
Lisa Keys of The Forward wrote that the episode is "not necessarily demeaning to Jews" but "too vapid to be funny".[4]
On October 3, 2007, the Bourne Company publishing house, sole owner of the song "When You Wish upon a Star", filed a lawsuit against several Fox divisions, Cartoon Network, Fuzzy Door Productions, Family Guy producer Seth MacFarlane and composer Walter Murphy, claiming copyright infringement over "I Need a Jew", seeking unspecified damages and to halt the program's distribution.[5][6] The suit claims harm to the value of the song due to the offensive nature of the lyrics.[7]
On March 17, 2009, U.S. District Judge Deborah Batts ruled that the creators of Family Guy did not infringe on Bourne's copyright.[8] The episode has since returned to syndicated airings on Adult Swim, TBS, and other networks. "

Not my post and I disagree with rioting but there is a lot of truth here so I'm reposting it.
WWG1WGA is a CIA control tactic to prevent heavily armed riots, sounds like a socialist pushing a government run utopian society.
Q is a facade.
Anons this is an important conversation, honestly, the longer I'm here the more worries I'm having. I've been here since thread 1 of CBTS, PG, and way before.
Q saying "don't worry we're in control" and "We are here for a reason" creep me the fuck out.
Although no public arrests/hangings have been made (they can't even ever tell us that McCain was put to death - because they are too worried about controlling the public). We are constantly told "HEY, BILLIONARE executives are quitting with huge bonuses! Aren't you happy!? CEOS are quitting!" We are supposed to be fucking happy about that?
We have been relegated to cheering for behind the scenes movement.
Q (NSA) team is here to CONTROL THE RIOTS.
They know we know. They have more than confirmed our suspicions on what's going on. We wrongly think they are on our side to take them down.
Although Q & NSA ARE ON OUR SIDE - they don't HAVE THE SAME GOAL.
Their goal is to protect the military, and the nation from changing. They are here to CONTROL us. They are here to convince us not to riot. They are here to convince us not to kill democrats. They are here to convince us to VOTE for president.
The problem is, I'm fucking pissed.
It's becoming more and more clear with EVERY POST.
Q has no interest, in EVER bringing anyone to public justice. They are handing things with "internal military tribunals" - THEY WILL NEVER BE TELEVISED. THEY WILL NEVER BE PUBLIC.
Where the fuck do you all think McCain went.
Q team is very proud of themselves, for putting him to military tribunal. The problem is - NORMIES DONT KNOW ANY OF THIS.
We really need to demand PUBLIC HANGINGS. I'm sick of CEOS resigning peacefully.
This entire team seems convinced to try to change the medias mind. It's a waste of fucking time. The media is gone forever - and Q team has yet to understand this.
They are literally here just to convince us from rioting because they know we are pissed. We are literally cats to them, and they are the cat herders.
Q WE DEMAND PUBLIC HANGINGS OF DEEP STATE CRIMINALS or MAGA riots.

*This list is only the beginning of shit that Q said would be addressed but it has not happened and treasonous people that have not been arrested.
Q definitely needs to check his brackets.
Seriously - Rod Rosenstein signed the first FISA warrant and then he appointed Mueller, together they instituted the FBI's insurance policy to frame Trump.
It's clear Q shifted to Epstein because everything else fell apart.
‘Never bowed to anyone & never will’ – Pakistani PM on ‘World Cup win’ US visit
Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has dismissed criticism of his ‘begging’ while visiting the US, saying he ‘never bowed down to anyone,’ and likened his triumphant homecoming to “winning the World Cup.”
The premier arrived home after a three-day trip to the United States where he met Donald Trump. The goal of Khan’s trip was mainly to negotiate further support for Pakistan’s faltering economy, a matter with which Trump could assist. For instance, the IMF recently approved a $6 billion loan package for Pakistan, funds which may not have been given without America’s consent.
Khan was welcomed back by jubilant crowds at Islamabad Airport, which the former cricket star said felt like “I’ve won the World Cup and come home.”
But it was not all cheers. Opposition leader and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari earlier this week blasted Khan as an “embarrassment” to the nation, calling him a “beggar” who “dances to umpire’s tunes” instead of taking care of his people. But Khan was undaunted by the criticism.
Neither have I bowed down to anyone nor will I let my nation to do so. All my struggle is focused on making our country one of the great nations of the world.
He blasted Pakistan’s former government, saying that “thieves put this country in a difficult spot,” and promised that “they will be held accountable.”
“We will collect that stolen money and spend it on the people,” he said, admitting that he did go to the US to “ask for help retrieving that money.”
Imran Khan flew to the US on a commercial flight instead of a private jet – reportedly to cut expenses. During his visit to Washington, the premier had his first face-to-face meeting with Donald Trump, during which he promised the US president to assist in resolving the conflict in Afghanistan. Khan said he would negotiate in talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government. In return, Trump spoke of the possibility of restoring US security aid to Pakistan, which was cut off last year over the country’s alleged cooperation with terrorists.

German daycare centers under police protection after they ban pork to please Muslim children
Plans to no longer serve children pork or gelatin-containing products like gummy bears at two daycare centers in the German city of Leipzig prompted a wave of criticism online and made headlines across the country.
The Bild newspaper first reported on the daycare centers’ proposal, saying the decision to make the changes came from consideration for two Muslim children.
“Out of respect for a changing world, only pork-free meals and snacks will be ordered and served starting from July 15”, read a letter sent to parents, according to Bild.
Responses to the plans grew so heated that Leipzig police decided to park patrol cars outside both of the daycare centers to protect against “possible dangers”.
The director of the two centers, Wolfgang Schäfer, said they were putting the plans on hold for now following the outrage.
“We’re overwhelmed by the whole thing”, he told news agency DPA.
The Bild report spread like wildfire on social media, with #Schweinefleisch (pork) taking the number one trending spot on Twitter for most of the day.
The Saxony branch of Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats described the plans as a “ban on pork” and said it was unacceptable.
Beatrix von Storch, an Alternative for Germany parliamentarian, described it as “cultural subjugation”, honing in on reports that the daycares made the decision out of respect for Muslim children.
Sawsan Chebli, a German politician in Berlin for the center-left Social Democrats who is of Palestinian descent, said the measure may have been well-intentioned, but did little to include Muslims.
“If daycares, schools and other such institutions would rather serve vegetarian food instead of meat – fine with me. I am only against it whenever they say: it’s out of respect to Muslims”, she wrote on Twitter.
From schnitzel to sausages to gelatin-containing gummy bears, many classic German dishes contain parts taken from pigs.
In many daycares and schools, children who do not eat certain meats due to religious reasons, allergies or other dietary restrictions are often offered an alternative.
As for the parents of the children at the daycare, several said they agreed with the daycare’s decision to forego pork.
One mother told DPA that the debate was “absurd” and that her 4-year-old daughter doesn’t notice anyway if what she’s eating has pork in it or not.

TRUMP DOJ BEGINS FEDERAL EXECUTIONS AFTER 16 YEARS
The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Thursday that it will resume capital punishment for the first time in nearly two decades.
Only three federal executions have taken place since 1988, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. All five of the death-row inmates named in Thursday's release were convicted for the murders of children.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons has adopted a regulation that will require federal authorities to use a single drug, pentobarbital, in federal executions, according to the DOJ release. That drug is used by several states for lethal injections.
“Congress has expressly authorized the death penalty through legislation adopted by the people’s representatives in both houses of Congress and signed by the President,” Barr said in a statement Thursday.
“Under Administrations of both parties, the Department of Justice has sought the death penalty against the worst criminals, including these five murderers, each of whom was convicted by a jury of his peers after a full and fair proceeding. The Justice Department upholds the rule of law—and we owe it to the victims and their families to carry forward the sentence imposed by our justice system.”

so when their are no arrests made of any of these devil worshipers and they all come back from recess, will that be reason enough to know Q doesn't work for you?
what story of further delays and placation are going to work for you?
Trumps family threatened, new witnesses delay justice for more justice, we have to get them all, c'mon people stop being sheepish.
If no arrest of many not 1 or 2 doesn't spell it out for you, Q is going to lead you to OWO/NWO and their will be nothing you can do.
Trump could be a great actor, acting his part, without knowing the end of the script or the edits along the way.

Tesla Reports Loss of $400+ Million, Co-Founder Leaves Company
Tesla shares dropped significantly following the release of a lower-than-expected earnings report, which included a loss for the quarter of $408 million, along with the departure of the company’s co-founder and Chief Technology Officer J.B. Straubel.
CNBC reports that Tesla’s Q2 earnings release resulted in a significant drop in Tesla stock price with an overall decline of 10 percent in extended trading. The drop continued into Thursday trading, Tesla is down 14 percent at the time of this writing. Refinitiv compiled a summary of what Tesla posted versus what analysts expected, it reads as follows:
Loss per share on an adjusted basis: $1.12 vs. 40 cents expected
Revenue: $6.35 billion versus $6.41 billion expected
Despite falling short of expectations, Tesla reaffirmed full-year delivery guidance stating that the company still believes it will sell 360,000 to 400,000 vehicles in 2019 mostly consisting of Model 3 sedans. In the first six months of 2019, Tesla delivered approximately 158,200 vehicles to customers and still has to deliver more than 200,000 in the last six months of the year to hit the low-end of its projected figures.
Tesla alleges it has a weekly run-rate of 7000 Model 3 cars and plans to produce 10,000 Model 2s per week by the end of 2019. Tesla stated in its second-quarter letter that it plans to improve production at existing factories in order to make high-volume Model 3 sales possible. While sale of the firm’s Powerwall and Powerpack energy storage products increased, sale of its solar energy products continued their decline. Tesla combines sales of all energy generation and storage product into one figure which came to $368.2 million in revenue, a two percent decline over the same time period last year.
What didn’t help the poor earnings report is the announcement of the departure of Tesla co-founder and Chief Technology Officer J.B. Straubel. Drew Baglino, vice president of technology, will be replacing Straubel as CTO while Straubel will stay on in an advisory role.
The announcement was made on a conference call with analysts on Wednesday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk discussed his departure stating: “I want to thank JB for his fundamental role in creating and building Tesla. If we hadn’t had lunch in 2003, Tesla wouldn’t exist, basically.” Straubel stated that his time at Tesla had been an adventurous 16 years and added: “I’m not disappearing, and I just wanted to make sure that people understand that this was not some, you know, lack of confidence in the company or the team or anything like that.”
Straubel is the latest in a long line of executive departures at Tesla, recently the firm’s vice president in charge of engineering for car interiors and exteriors, Steve McManus, left the firm to join Apple. Tesla executive, Michael Schwekutsch, and chief engineer Doug Field also recently departed the firm to join Apple.

Time to forget the word Russiagate & look into FBI-gate instead – Ron Paul
The Democrats’ dream of impeaching President Trump over the Russiagate scandal has “totally failed,” its fate confirmed by special counsel Robert Mueller's disastrous showing in Congress, former congressman Ron Paul told RT.
The utterly anticlimactic hearing saw the ex-special counsel serving up reheated details of his two-year probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, reminding both the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees that there was no proof that members of the Trump campaign conspired with Russia. “Hopefully, this will end it all, because Mueller did not have any evidence,” Paul said.
I think we should never use the word Russiagate again. I think we ought to use the FBIgate because there was a conspiracy to try to frame Trump.
“If they have impeachment hearings next year, it is going to backfire on them, just as I think this hearing today backfired on the Democrats,” Paul said, suggesting that lawmakers should instead investigate the origins of the Russia probe – in particular the Steele dossier, which was partially funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic Party. The document, produced by Fusion GPS, was full of unsubstantiated tales about Trump and helped to kick off the FBI probe, yet when pressed on the key role of the opposition research firm, Mueller didn’t even appear to be familiar with the organization.
Both parties have much bigger problems, Paul pointed out, marveling at how Democrats and Republicans are “bosom buddies,” marching in lockstep on “more debt, more interference, more involvement overseas, more welfare-ism,” yet “they hate each other’s guts when it comes to power.”
The empire’s broke, the empire’s in trouble, yet [both parties] don’t want to talk about that.

'Leviticus 11
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
"Say to the Israelites: `Of all the animals that live on land, these are the ones you may eat:
You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud.
"`There are some that only chew the cud or only have a split hoof, but you must not eat them. The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a split hoof; it is ceremonially unclean for you.
The coney, [1] though it chews the cud, does not have a split hoof; it is unclean for you.
The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a split hoof; it is unclean for you.
And the pig, though it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you.
You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.
No matter how much or what you try.
Nothing can stop what is coming.

Johnson Pledges More Police, Increased Stop and Search, Harsher Punishments for Violent and Sex Crimes
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has called for an increase in stop and search, longer prison sentences for perpetrators who commit violent and sexual crimes, and pledged to put 20,000 new police officers on the streets of Britain to fight the rising tide of violent crime in the country.
Addressing the House of Commons on Thursday in his first statement as prime minister, Mr Johnson plans to put “more police on the streets”, allocating funds to “address the rising tide of violence and rising violent crime in our country”.
“I have announced there will be 20,000 extra police keeping us safe over the next three years, and I have asked my Right Honourable Friend the home secretary [Priti Patel] to ensure that this is treated as an absolute priority,” Prime Minister Johnson said.
“We will give greater powers… to the police to use stop and search to help tackle violent crime,” he added, continuing that he was drafting proposed reforms so that “those found guilty of the most serious sexual and violent offences are required to serve a custodial sentence that truly reflects the severity of their offence and policy measures that will see the reduction of prolific offenders”.
Violent crime had risen by one-fifth in England and Wales in one year, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics, with the countries seeing 112 knife crimes every day. London continues to have the highest proportion of knife-related crime.
During the October Conservative Party conference, the former mayor of London called for the government to “end the politically correct nonsense that has endangered the lives of young people” and bring back “systematic stop and search”.
Mr Johnson, who was mayor of London from 2008 to 2016, had overseen an increase in the use of stop and search in the capital which he said reduced the murder rate by 50 per cent and resulted in there being “fewer than 100 [murders] for four or five year running”.
Stop and Search allows police to stop and search people if they have “reasonable grounds” to suspect that person is carrying stolen property, drugs, or a weapon. However, leftists and progressives in the Conservative Party called for the police powers to be reduced, on grounds that it was racist.
In 2014, then-home secretary Theresa May dramatically reduced the police power, alleging that the tactic was “unfair, especially to young black men”. By the end of 2016, knife crime had soared to a five-year high. When Mr Johnson’s successor, Labour’s Sadiq Khan, took office, he made good on his campaign pledge to reduce the power further, contributing to a steep climb in knife crime in the capital.
However, Mayor Khan was forced to reverse his position on stop and search in early 2018 after a rise in stabbings, acid attacks, shootings, and youth homicides across London. Then-home secretary Sajid Javid called for the Met to increase their use of the powers after five fatal stabbings in less than a week in November, with May being forced to u-turn on her position in April following a spate of stabbings across the capital.

..bothers her all the way to the bank…
promotion of patriot act 4000+ pages of legal ease removing citizens legal protections and safeguards, produced voted through committee and enacted in 5 days…… come Q enthusiasts, think for yourself, Q and Trump are using these rules to their benefit.
You must open your eyes to see, this is going to end very badly.
Q's job is to placate you, until your rebellion, will not matter.
what does that look like, when they point this massive build up of military at you the rebellious patriot. One World Order, Peace & Security, UN, NATO……
The seeds have been planted, think 9/11>> patriot act >> loss of individual protections Trump / Q's upcoming planned false flag >> loss of personal liberty's and freedom.
Building up the military, the courts, the law, & patriotism >> when the next step to OWO/NWO you can expect tremendous (PAIN) and suffering, aided by the added benefit of family and neighbor division (WWG1WGA) with USA having to appear fallen for the rest of the world to fall in line.
No more great hope exists when USA is a 3rd world country, watch how the dominoes fall.
If this post infuriates you, instead of motivating you to take stock in all that is and has been transpiring, you are part of the problem, or Q's solution.
Q tells us Trump had to extend justice time frame because of threats…….? most powerful man in the world head of the executive branch can't move along justice (for patriots sake) even though (we have it all) but no we need to collect more (justice delayed) and you think that sounds reasonable. Trump could drop all the hammers at once and send them scurrying, not give them more time and ammunition to attempt hurting his children.
Please think people, this does not make sense.
Patriots need to prepare for war against their neighbor and government, if you refuse to gather in the streets to test these empty promises now, it will be all that is left, unless you will be slave labor or reeducation you will not be making that decision your keeper will, the rest of us will be killed and tortured publicly to dissuade any future rebellion.
Will the real patriot's stand up?

>Ambassador Walter H. Annenberg
Walter Annenberg was born to a Jewish family in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on March 13, 1908. He was the only son of Sadie Cecelia née Freedman (1879–1965) and Moses "Moe" Louis Annenberg, who published the Daily Racing Form and purchased The Philadelphia Inquirer in 1936.[2] Annenberg was a stutterer since childhood.[3][4][5][6][7]
He had seven sisters, whose names were Diana Annenberg (1900–1905), Esther "Aye" Annenberg Simon Levee (1901–1992), Janet Annenberg Hooker (1904–1997), Enid Annenberg Haupt (1906–2005), Lita Annenberg Hazen (1909–1995), Evelyn Annenberg Jaffe Hall (1911–2005), and Harriet Beatrice Annenberg Ames Aronson (1914–1969).
The Annenberg family moved to Long Island, New York, in 1920,[8] and Walter attended high school at the Peddie School in Hightstown, New Jersey, graduating in 1927.[8] He dropped out of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, never attaining a college degree.[9] While in college, he was a member of Zeta Beta Tau, a traditionally Jewish fraternity.[10]
Annenberg was greatly affected by tax evasion charges and other scandals involving his father in the 1930s. A significant part of his adult life was dedicated to rehabilitating the family's name through philanthropy and public service

He’s back! Boris puts alleged leaker and warmonger Williamson in charge of UK schools
There’s widespread disbelief that Boris Johnson is now the UK’s prime minister, but have you noticed that Gavin Williamson is back, and he’s been put in charge of educating Britain’s kids?
Oh yes, the former defence secretary has been resurrected into a position of power mere months after being sacked for allegedly leaking state secrets to the press over the role of Chinese tech giant Huawei in the UK’s 5G network.
Well, after being given the boot by Theresa May and narrowly escaping prosecution, three months on Boris has let bygones be bygones, and has let Williamson loose on fixing the school system as education secretary. There is a slight caveat, because while it is a senior job, it doesn’t require top level security clearance. The rest of the cabinet will be keeping their folders well and truly closed when he’s around.
It’s a quirk of political life that a man who once sold fireplaces for a living can be placed in charge of a nation’s military and then its schools, all in a matter of months.
Headmasters, teachers and pupils have every right to be nervous, because Williamson used his brief tenure as defence secretary desperately trying to start a war. He told Russia, the world’s biggest nuclear power, to “shut up and go away” before threatening to deploy an aircraft carrier off the coast of China and saying he’d be willing to use ‘lethal force.’
Asking a man like that for a bit more cash for textbooks is going to be a nervy experience, especially if his famed pet tarantula is sitting on his desk at the time.
His voting record on education suggests he is very much in favour of less funding for students and making them pay higher fees, but is there a bright side for anyone in education with Williamson at the helm?
Well, kids should pay attention because there is a good chance he’ll leak answers to exam questions.
British parents could see space open up in private schools if he scares off all the Russian and Chinese students.
Schools should be warm though as he can probably still get them a good deal on some heating.
And, ultimately, he will be a role model for all children who can now see that, no matter how unpopular you are, no matter how badly you screw up, no matter how low you sink, there is always a way back. Especially in the Tory party. Inspirational.

Boeing 737 MAX groundings plague U.S. airlines, 'frustrated' Southwest exits Newark
Boeing Co’s top two U.S. customers warned on Thursday of an increasing financial toll from the prolonged grounding of the 737 MAX jet, which prompted a “frustated” Southwest Airlines Co to announce it was ending operations at Newark Liberty International airport.
“It’s really all about the MAX. It’s the only thing we’re dealing with,” Southwest Chief Executive Gary Kelly told investors after taking a $175 million hit to operating income in the second quarter from the MAX grounding.
“Everything else is rock solid,” Kelly said, pointing to rising revenues and cost management, excluding costs related to roughly 150 daily flight cancellations as the airline manages its operations with a slimmer fleet.
Those costs are set to rise in the second half of the year, the airline said.
Southwest and American Airlines Group Inc (AAL.O) are the two largest U.S. MAX operators, with 34 and 24 jets respectively and dozens more on order. Carriers that rushed to buy Boeing’s fuel-efficient jets to open new and longer routes have been reeling from a global grounding in March that followed two fatal crashes in Ethiopia and Indonesia.
American, the No. 1 U.S. airline, said it expected the grounding to hit its 2019 pre-tax earnings by about $400 million, about $50 million more than it had previously forecast.
The timing of the MAX’s return to service is still uncertain.
The acting administrator for the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, which must approve Boeing’s software fixes and new pilot training before the MAX can fly again, said on Thursday the timeline would be driven by one criteria: safety.
Based on guidance from Boeing, Southwest extended MAX-related cancellations until Jan. 5, 2020, saying it will need one to two months following regulatory approval to train pilots and prepare the jets for fresh commercial service.
It had previously removed the MAX jets from its flying schedule through early November, a timeline that American maintained on Thursday, despite skepticism by analysts.
Shares in American were down about 4.7% on Thursday while Southwest gained 1.6%, recovering from opening losses.
SCRAMBLING TO GROW
Lacking planes, Southwest said it was freezing new pilot hires and upgrades and ceasing service from underperforming Newark, where it had up to 20 daily departures, to consolidate its New York City service at nearby LaGuardia in early November.
However, the airline is resuming its growth plans in California and Hawaii next month, Kelly said. The airline cannot afford competitively to wait any longer, he said.
The low-cost carrier launched Hawaii flights this year. To help service that expansion, it is delaying the retirement of seven 737-700 aircraft.
Still, Southwest said its flying capacity will now fall by as much as 2% this year, a reversal from its earlier forecast of 5% growth. American’s capacity will still grow in 2019, the airline said, but at a slower rate than originally planned.
Both Southwest and American said they have held discussions with Boeing about MAX-related damages but have not reached any conclusions.
Boeing, which posted its largest-ever quarterly loss on Wednesday and warned it may have to halt 737 MAX production, has taken a $4.9 billion charge linked to customer compensation.

Italian Police Bust Migrant Drug Dealers Working From Asylum Centre
Italian carabinieri conducted a large scale raid at a migrant reception centre and found at least six migrants using the centre as a base to sell drugs.
The raids, titled Operation Capolinea, occurred in the port city of Agrigento on Wednesday and lasted for a few hours as carabinieri officers arrested the six young men, all from North African backgrounds, Il Giornale reports.
The investigation began several weeks ago when parents were alarmed by a number of drug dealers operating in front of local schools where their children were enrolled as pupils.
Investigators tracked down the drug activity to a bus terminal, finding that many of the drugs had been trafficked from the Sicilian capital of Palermo by bus. Prosecutors say the migrants, along with a local drug dealer, were turning over as much as 500,000 euros from their drug sales.
Populist interior minister Matteo Salvini commented on the raid and successful arrests saying: “Thanks to law enforcement and investigators in the fight against drugs, crime, and the business of immigration in every city. The fun is over.”
The raid comes only weeks after police in the Italian capital of Rome busted a drug network operating out of a local church in the Torre Angela area.
Five migrants from Africa were arrested during the operation, with investigators claiming the migrants attempted to hide at least two pounds of heroin.
Interior minister Salvini has been outspoken about migrant drug traffickers, stating in April: “A Pakistani ‘asylum-seeker’ has been arrested, caught in Pesaro by the police with 180 doses of heroin! DISGUSTING! All-out war on death dealers! #zerotolerance, get these delinquents OUT of Italy!!!”
Italy is not the only country to see a rise in drug dealing migrants. In the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, police expressed concerns as far back as 2017 that asylum seekers were taking over the local illegal drug trade.

Creepy farm house at the Disney Epcot Living with the Land ride entrance to child trafficking temple.
I got to the ride and got to the house and back in the front door to the Masonic Room, and locked the front door as I entered. I inserted the Core Key into the lock on the wooden door, removed the core, and inserted the Zone 1 core into the lock. Now my Master Key will open the door, and boy did it. The door glided open, it was heavy and steel on the other side of the wood face. There was a velvet red carpeted staircase leading down to some kind of utilidor, but we are in EPCOT, what the hell. There is one small utilidor in EPCOT, but it doesn’t go this deep. I descended the stairs and walked down the red-carpeted hallway to these two double doors. Behind these doors was my answer and the truth as to what happened to these kids. Through these doors was the darkest side of Disney, a side of Disney that even I couldn’t believe. Would Walt be in favor of this? Or is this one of Eisner’s little idea of making more money off his guests.

The market price of vanilla rose dramatically in the late 1970s after a tropical cyclone ravaged key croplands. Prices remained high through the early 1980s despite the introduction of Indonesian vanilla. In the mid-1980s, the cartel that had controlled vanilla prices and distribution since its creation in 1930 disbanded.[14] Prices dropped 70% over the next few years, to nearly US$20 per kilogram; prices rose sharply again after tropical cyclone Hudah struck Madagascar in April 2000. The cyclone, political instability, and poor weather in the third year drove vanilla prices to an astonishing US$500/kg in 2004, bringing new countries into the vanilla industry. A good crop, coupled with decreased demand caused by the production of imitation vanilla, pushed the market price down to the $40/kg range in the middle of 2005. By 2010, prices were down to $20/kg. Cyclone Enawo caused in similar spike to $500/kg in 2017.[15]
Madagascar (especially the fertile Sava region) accounts for much of the global production of vanilla. Mexico, once the leading producer of natural vanilla with an annual yield of 500 tons of cured beans, produced only 10 tons in 2006. An estimated 95% of "vanilla" products are artificially flavored with vanillin derived from lignin instead of vanilla fruits.[

16 Marines arrested on human smuggling, drug charges
https://nypost.com/2019/07/25/16-marines-arrested-on-human-smuggling-drug-charges/
Sixteen US Marines were arrested at Camp Pendleton in California on Thursday during battalion formation for alleged illegal activities ranging from human smuggling to drug-related offenses, according to the 1st Marine Division.
“Information gained from a previous human smuggling investigation precipitated the arrests,” a statement said.
“None of the Marines arrested or detained for questioning served in support of the Southwest Border Support mission,” it added.
Two Marines — Byron Darnell Law II and David Javier Salazar-Quintero — were arrested July 3 for allegedly transporting unauthorized immigrants as part of a smuggling operation.
Eight other Marines were questioned for their involvement in alleged drug offenses unrelated to Thursday’s arrests, the Marine Corps said.
Division officials and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service carried out Thursday’s dramatic arrests.
The 16 suspects range in rank from private first class to corporal, or E-2 to E-4, according to 1st Lt. Cameron Edinburgh, a division spokesman.
Their names and details of their alleged offenses were not immediately released.
“1st Marine Division is committed to justice and the rule of law, and we will continue to fully cooperate with NCIS on this matter,” the statement says.
“Any Marines found to be in connection with these alleged activities will be questioned and handled accordingly with respect to due process.”

Vanilla was completely unknown in the Old World before Cortés arrived in Mexico. Spanish explorers arriving on the Gulf Coast of Mexico in the early 16th century gave vanilla its current name. Portuguese sailors and explorers brought vanilla into Africa and Asia later that century. They called it vainilla, or "little pod". The word vanilla entered the English language in 1754, when the botanist Philip Miller wrote about the genus in his Gardener’s Dictionary.[17] Vainilla is from the diminutive of vaina, from the Latin vagina (sheath) to describe the shape of the pods

16 U.S. Marines Arrested on Human Smuggling, Drug Charges near Border
Naval law enforcement investigators arrested 16 U.S. Marines in connection to human smuggling and drug-related charges. The arrests follow allegations of human smuggling made against two other Marines earlier this month.
Officials of the 1st Marine Division and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) arrested 16 Marines assigned to Camp Pendleton, California, Thursday morning. The 16 are facing charges related to human smuggling and other drug-related offenses, according to a statement from officials at Camp Pendleton.
The new arrests follow the arrests of two other Camp Pendleton Marines earlier this month. U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested the two Marines, Byron Darnell Law, II and David Javier Salazar-Quintero, on July 3 after they observed suspicious behavior near the border, Breitbart News reported. NCIS investigators followed up on information received during the first two arrests, leading to Thursday’s arrest of 16 Marines.
Law and Salazar-Quintero allegedly received money from a human smuggling organization to pick up migrants near the border and move them inland past Border Patrol checkpoints. The Mexican nationals being smuggled during the arrest told the Border Patrol agent they agreed to pay $8,000 for transit into the U.S., according to a criminal complaint. They listed their destinations as New Jersey and Los Angeles. All three identified Law as the driver of the smuggling vehicle, the complaint concludes.
Camp Pendleton officials also announced on Thursday that eight additional Marines are being taken aside to be questioned about their involvement in drug offenses that are not related to the charges being faced by the other 16 Marines.
Officials reported that none of the Marines who are arrested or being investigated are connected to the Department of Defense efforts to support the Southwest Border Support mission.

looking at the aerial photo of the two underground entrances on LSJ…
the top one (left side) is for VIP's and assorted guests. the bottom one is for freight, cargo, victims, etc
take a good look at the one pic. watch the water. do you see an under water outline of a building roof top? there is an under water submarine bay / entrance here and that is the air pocket it opens up into. there is at least one underwater access point which leads to this air pocket and the two underground entrances.
[JE] had two planes. think. what were they? how long of a run way does each plane require? look / dig for landing strips that need meet those requirements. look dig for charter boat services that service that island. last but not least, how many millionaires / billionaires own yachts? any of them also own yachts with their own private submarine? is there a submarine excursion business in the region?
yup! take a helicopter out to the yacht, board the sub, and surface on LSJ island where you can catch the island shuttle to the pleasure dome.
if we dig on the super rich and their yacht's, we are bound to find more "clients" of [JE]

Most artificial vanilla products contain vanillin, which can be produced synthetically from lignin, a natural polymer found in wood. Most synthetic vanillin is a byproduct from the pulp used in papermaking, in which the lignin is broken down using sulfites or sulfates. However, vanillin is only one of 171 identified aromatic components of real vanilla fruits.[39]

Fusion GPS Spy Natalia Veselnitskaya Worked Out Of Obama Official’s Office
Aug 21, 2018.
The Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya who set up Don Trump Jr. for a meeting in Trump Tower as part of a Fusion GPS plot was operating out of the Washington offices of Cozen O’Connor, a law firm run by an anti-Trump former Obama administration official whose super PAC donated to Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush in the 2016 presidential election.
Veselnitskaya’s work from the Cozen O’Connor office provides more evidence of a Democrat and establishment Republican effort to set up the Trump campaign for a future Russian collusion case. Veselnitskaya was allowed into the United States by the Obama Department of Justice while the former Obama official who runs Cozen O’Connor publicly warned then-candidate Trump that if he became president he would be investigated by the DOJ for contacts with foreign leaders. Veselnitskaya reportedly had dinner meetings with Fusion GPS chief Glenn Simpson the day before she met in Trump Tower and also the day after she went inside Trump Tower.
Big League Politics has confirmed that a Cozen O’Connor partner who lives in the same apartment building as James Comey’s friend Daniel Richman — who leaked classified information to the press on Comey’s behalf — spoke with Richman during the period that Comey and the Fusion GPS team were trying to obtain FISA warrants on Trump Tower.
Let’s break down the facts of an Obama administration official’s involvement in the Trump Tower plot:
(Excerpt) Read more at bigleaguepolitics.com
PROOF POSITIVE THAT OBAMA KNEW
Obama’s CYA maneuver of January 3, 2017-——the signing of NSA Data-Sharing Order Section 2.3 by AG Lynch —— is the coupe d’etat to blow out The Deep State. Obama’s after-the-fact ex/order contains some unusual language particularly the convoluted language WRT “The Strategic Delay of Section 2.3 of Obama’s Executive Order 12333”:
NOTE WELL: Prior to the formal signing of Section 2.3, greater latitude ALREADY existed within the White House in regards to collection of information – especially in relation to the Trump Campaign. However, once signed, Section 2.3 granted broad latitude to inter-agency sharing of information.
But by the time Obama’s new executive order was signed on January 3, 2017, all that information was already in the possession of Obama White House.
Thus, Susan Rice’s January 20, 2017 email to herself takes on an even greater significance b/c no one was ever supposed to know about the REAL meaning of Obama’s retroactive CYA…..until Rice stupidly laid it all out in an official email.
When Susan Rice stupidly wrote a CYA memo to herself, she inadvertently confessed to a series of crimes that added the time line and inferences about what the outgoing Obama administration illegally concealed from incoming President Trump and his aides.
CYA memos are rarely a good idea. Most often, they reveal things the author never intended——ala Susan Rice’s now-infamous email to herself.
powerlineblog.com
WHY SUSAN RICE WROTE AN EMAIL TO HERSELF……..the extraordinary email Obama’s National Security Advisor Susan Rice wrote to herself at 12:15 on January 20, 2017……..within minutes of President Trump’s inauguration must have been her last act, more or less, before she vacated the White House. So obviously the email was important to her. But why would it be important to send an email to herself (the only person copied was one of her aides)?
If you read the email, along with Senator Grassley’s letter to Rice, it is obvious that it is a CYA memo. But the question is, whose A is being C’d?
Most attention, so far, has focused on the first two paragraphs of the email, which describe a meeting that occurred around two weeks earlier. The participants included
<><>Barack Obama,
<><>Joe Biden,
<><>James Comey,
<><> Sally Yates–who turns up like a bad penny whenever skulduggery is afoot–
<><>and Rice:
Rice made sure to underscore that Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities “by the book”. Rice writes Obama stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book.

DEA Most Wanted Fugitive Arrested in Mexican Border State
Mexican border state authorities arrested a Houston-based drug dealer who is one of the DEA’s “Most Wanted.” The man is now in custody at the U.S. Consulate in Monterrey.
This week, agents with Nuevo Leon’s State Investigations Agency (AEI) arrested Juan Angel “El Juanillo” Guajardo, a Houston-based drug dealer who fled to Monterrey to avoid capture. While details of his case remain sealed, Guajardo is named in a large-scale drug trafficking investigation in Houston.
The arrest took place when DEA agents reached out to AEI for their help in locating Guajardo, a U.S. citizen. Law enforcement sources in Nuevo Leon revealed to Breitbart News that AEI agents tracked down Guajardo to the municipality of Apodaca, where he was hiding with relatives. The fugitive used a variation of his last name as “Martinez Guajardo” to avoid capture. On Monday, AEI agents carried out a raid, where they detained Guajardo and confirmed he was selling drugs in an independent fashion, the source revealed.
As part of a cooperation agreement with U.S. law enforcement agencies, authorities in Nuevo Leon turned over Guajardo for extradition and prosecution in Texas.

That is like saying Disney makes the mouse ear hats in a Disneyland backlot.
More likely in some non-descript warehouse in an industrial zone. Or even more likely, overseas.
The island was for recruitment and blackmail of elite.
It makes no sense to use it for industrial purposes.

NASA is also very cozy with Disney - going back to Werner von Braun.
Dr. von Braun began his association with Walt Disney in the 1950s when the rocket scientist appeared in three Disney television productions related to the exploration of space. Years later, Dr. von Braun invited Disney and >>7185117

Add the extreme importance of this guy and its seems criminally negligent to allow another inmate contact. Also, why was that other inmate publicly named? Punished for failed hit? Eyes on family?

Cherokee history – Native Americans
Home/Native American/Cherokee history – Native Americans
Cherokee history: statues from Etowah (now northern Georgia) from about 1300 AD (maybe these should really be counted as Creek?)
The Ani Chota
The Cherokee nation was the largest nation of eastern North America. They were probably also the most important. But they did not call themselves the Cherokee. They called themselves the Ani Chota. That means the people of Chota, their capital. Or they called themselves the Ani Yunwiya, which means “the main people”.
Who were the Iroquois?
Cherokee after 1500 (Trail of Tears)
All our Native American articles
Probably Cherokee people were originally part of the Iroquois people. Their language is related to Iroquois. And they themselves believed that they came from the north-east, but they split off and moved south, probably about 1500 BC, in the Late Archaic period.
Cherokee history – the Woodland period
After that, during the Woodland period, the Cherokee lived in south-eastern North America. That’s mainly modern Tennessee, North Carolina, and Arkansas, but also South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia and Alabama.
Woodland period
Mississippian period
By about 800 AD, the Cherokee were probably a Mississippian group. They built burial mounds and towns like other Mississippian people, even though they did not live right on the Mississippi river and there are some differences in the way they lived.
Cherokee cooking pot for corn pudding
Cherokee farming
By around 1000 AD, in the Mississippian period, Cherokee people began to grow corn, squash, sunflowers, sweet potatoes, and beans for some of their food. They grew tobacco, too. Sometime around 1200 AD, they may have started to keep tame turkeys for food too.
History of corn
Where did turkeys come from?
How about tobacco?
Cherokee tobacco pipe (Museum of the Cherokee Indian)
Cherokee people still hunted and gathered. They ate a lot of fish and shellfish. But the farming helped them to settle down in towns and villages.
Cherokee history – Mississippian period
During the Mississippian period, Cherokee people were not united under one chief. They lived in a bunch of small independent city-states. Probably these city-states were unified as a confederacy, like the Iroquois confederacy.
Cherokee daily life
Cherokee food
Architecture of Cherokee houses
Cherokee stories
The Cherokee environment
Probably the Cherokee considered themselves one people. They often made decisions as a group by consensus or by voting. So we might consider this to be a complex chiefdom. There were at least sixty Cherokee towns, and there may have been more. Each town had about 300 to 400 people living in it.
Cherokee trade contacts with the Aztecs
By this time, Cherokee people were trading with Mississippians who were trading with Pueblo people, who were trading with the Aztecs in Mexico. You can see similarities between the Cherokee statues in the picture and Aztec statues.
Cherokee economy
Or Cherokee clothing
Cherokee warfare

RA’s Daily Russia News Blast – Feb 28, 2019
TODAY IN RUSSIA: US Venezuela resolution expected to be vetoed by Russia at UN. US continues with Crimea sanctions pressure, Kremlin alleges constant US cyberattacks. Moscow tracks debtors with facial recognition. TMK looking into Bulgaria. HRW on music censorship. No response from Prigozhin companies on latest allegations. Russia spat ends Ukraine Eurovision hopes.
A new United States resolution at the United Nations calling for free and fair elections in Venezuela will almost certainly be vetoed by Russia, as the two continue to clash over operations there. The US is continuing to pressure the Kremlin over Crimea, saying that its sanctions will continue until the peninsula is returned to Ukraine. Opposition leader Alexei Navalny insists that Western sanctions are not having any real effect, and that if the US was truly interested in controlling Russia, it would have to target its oligarchs more pointedly. (Which will never happen in the UK, he said, because Britain “loves dirty money”.) The Kremlin says “a huge number” of cyber attacks are constantly being launched against Russia from US territory. Moscow is using a sprawling network of facial-recognition cameras to track down debtors.
Oil and gas pipe maker TMK is looking to bid on the construction of a new gas pipeline in Bulgaria, which would link up with the TurkStream pipeline. Human Rights Watch reported on state interference into popular music concerts, specifically in rap and hip-hop. Authorities say the censorship is necessary to protect children, with concerts continuing to be canceled into this month, but critics say their actions are a violation of free expression. Yevgeny Prigozhin’s companies are refusing to respond to new allegations that they benefited from billions of dollars in state contracts.
Ukraine has dropped out of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest after the winning candidate refused to accept conditions that included a ban on performing in Russia. The Guardian remembers Pete Souza’s iconic shot of Putin and Obama.

A song-by-song analysis of the lyrics and music of Roxy Music and the solo work of Bryan Ferry, Brian Eno, Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera in the 1970s
The Bogus Man
November 23, 2018 by roxymusicsongs 4 Comments
The Bogus Man (1973)
The Bogus Man (Live, Viva! Roxy Music)
The bogus man is on his way as fast as he can run
He’s tired but he’ll get to you and shoot you with his gun
Focused his mind on something he cared about
But it came out a shout just like before
The bogus man is at your heels now clutching at your coat
You must be quick now hurry up he’s scratching at your throat
Concealed his doubt by skillful evasion
But he couldn’t find out about deception
He’s tired but he’ll get to you and show you lots of fun
Arguably the most contentious song in the Roxy canon – certainly the longest at nine minutes plus – ‘The Bogus Man’ has generated considerable discussion and comment from the band, critics and fans alike. For the group, the excitement generated by the recording was palpable: Paul Thompson enthused on The Thrill Of It All radio broadcast that ‘Bogus Man’ was “trance-like…mesmeric…it just grooves along, I love that track.” For Andy Mackay it was “more than almost any other Roxy track…a conscious effort by all of us to try and sort of put in our own contributions.” For Phil Manzanera ‘Bogus’ was simply “incredible,” and for Brian Eno the song was the most successful piece on For Your Pleasure “because it’s the one on which the band is most obviously working together, and it’s also got a lot of discipline” (Thrill/Shark).
For critics and fans however, ‘The Bogus Man’ is a mixed bag, both loved and neglected, often overlooked due to its length. One listener noting that “at an ominous, nearly ten-minutes, ‘Bogus Man’ is the one track that I tend to skip past” (Soundlab). For another, the song “is 9 minutes long, which I [feel] is inexcusable” (albumclub). Yet for many others (myself included) the music is “strange and wonderful” (Klinger), well “loved” (Terich), and for one playful critic there’s no reason not to dance to it: “Is there any Stranding kid on your block who doesn’t groove to The Bogus Man?” (Ingham).
It should come as no surprise that ‘The Bogus Man’ arouses admiration and suspicion in equal measure as it is unique in the Roxy catalog, and not only for its length. It is a disquieting song, hinting at menace without actually delivering any real shock or gore. And yet it would be a mistake to overlook it: ‘The Bogus Man’ is a pivotal Roxy track – it is where all the chaos and uncertainty from the first album and much of For Your Pleasure is finally put to bed, for the song contains all the tensions and contrasts that made the first edition of the band so special, not only at the level of personality and musical approach, but also as an articulation of what all band members agreed was the Roxy manifesto: “all styles served here.” The song is no more a product of Brian Eno’s influence than it is of Bryan Ferry’s manic and dark visions: this is the sound of Roxy Music working it out.
While Mackay, Manzanera, Eno and Ferry contribute considerable musical skill and intellect, the track is really propelled into existence by Paul Thompson and bassist John Porter: ‘The Bogus Man’ is all back-end, it’s a rhythm section trapped in the mud, agitated, like an abomination bubbling up from the grave. On one level, the slumbering historical Rough Beast from ‘Do the Strand‘ has returned. On another, ‘The Bogus Man’ inhabits the human realm as a sexual predator, bogeyman, record company executive, Hammer Horror cliche – all of these things and more, but only if you reduce the word “Bogus” to its stereo-typical meanings. Bogus also means counterfeit or fake; not genuine. And the synonym means phony. As in Glamour. Acting. Misrepresentation. Ambition. Lies. For Your Pleasure is an album of masks and personae, a tool used to explore the subconscious, the art-making process and the personal requirements needed for a life of celebrity and fame. During the damp dark winter of ’72/’73 the story has been written that Ferry stared vacantly for weeks at a television set with the sound turned off. A story has also been written that during the recording of For Your Pleasure the singer drove deep into the Derbyshire countryside to stay at the cottage of friend Nick De Ville, alone day and night, intensely concentrating, paper all around him, trying to find the right words. Focused his mind on something he cared about. Look no further: Bryan Ferry is The Bogus Man. Of course he is.
I like all the dark stuff
Bryan Ferry, 2011
Sequentially, ‘Bogus Man’ comes at an important point on For Your Pleasure: on the original LP (in ye olden days) ‘Bogus’ was the opening cut on side two – a slot often used for re-establishing the flow of an album: think of funky cut ‘Money’ opening the second side of Dark Side of the Moon (after ‘Great Gig in the Sky‘); or the Rolling Stones‘ highly motivated ‘Bitch’ on Sticky Fingers (after ‘You Gotta Move’); ‘Higher Ground’ opens the second side of Stevie Wonder’s Inversions, and so on. It’s a great slot for re-engaging the listener – the physical act of turning the disc over meant a temporary break in proceedings (lighting a spliff, walking the dog) – and it is surprising that ‘Editions of You‘ did not open side two: it would have followed the hit parade formula by providing a “knees up” (Ferry’s term) rocker to kick off and balance the arty proceedings. But there is very little about For Your Pleasure that is formulaic: side two has a mere three tracks and, although together they meet the desired length of a side of music (typically twenty minutes) the tracks do wind FYP down considerably, with ‘Grey Lagoons‘ offering lively, though revisionist, respite, sandwiched in between two of the most experimental tracks Roxy ever recorded for an LP, ‘The Bogus Man’ and ‘For Your Pleasure‘.
And so the sequencing of ‘The Bogus Man’ is telling: it confirms Ferry’s desire to create albums of songs that clash and contrast in style and mood, and it also sends a message to listeners: if you thought the first side (or even the first album) was weird or unsettling, what til you get a load of this. Ultimately then, ‘Bogus’ becomes the ultimate non-formulaic track on a non-formulaic album, and its positioning pushes the listener further into uncharted territory, which suited the band’s ambitions perfectly. Brian Eno takes up the story:
We had an undeveloped idea of making something that had a sinister feeling to it, but with that being an undertone with a fairly happy sounding riff; it was just meant to sound uneasy. But the problem until about a week before we did the album was that it was tending to sound a bit ‘let’s do something sinister’, very forced. Then Paul started playing this kind of reggae beat to it, a very bland sort of thing, and John Porter…joined in, which it put a totally different face on it, and it gradually developed parts that were completely incongruous but worked because they were held together by sheer willpower.
– Sounds, March 1973
As with so many powerful Roxy songs (If There is Something/Mother of Pearl) the drumming in ‘The Bogus Man’ kicks off proceedings. Paul Thompson provides a classic 1-drop reggae beat (1, 2, 3, 4/1, 2, 3, 4/…) and, coming after the drumming pyrotechnics of the fade-out ‘In Every Dream Home a Heartache‘, his touch is surprisingly subtle, bright even. At 0.6s bass and guitar kick in – or at least it sounds like guitar, as one of Phil Manzanera’s greatest contribution to Roxy was his sound texture (and taste) and so it is difficult to know where Brian Eno’s contributions end and Phil Manzanera’s begin. John Porter’s bass line is masterful, thick and cheeky, twin strings plucked at once to produce a reverberating sound that only be described as minimalist funk. It’s like walking through mud – plodding, two steps forward, one back (He’s tired but he’ll get to you). Indeed, Thompson and Porter hold the piece together, as does Manzanera’s single note riff on the guitar – ba/ba – ba/ba/ba/ba – that morphs and changes over the course of the song.
Brian Eno can’t wait to get stuck in of course, and at .20 seconds the infamous and beloved Voltage Controlled Studio Version #3 (VCS3) synthesizer starts its Star Trek riff, sprinkling the track with bogey dust that bobs in and out of the duration of the song. At .26 the other Bryan cranks in with a very funky call and response routine on electric plange piano. The sound is rich and full and Roxy sound particularly well-recorded in these opening moments. All the ingredients are present – except for Andy Mackay’s masterful off-center saxophone, an acoustic a-tonal addition that more than any other musical element is responsible for the sinister atmosphere of the song. Again, Eno provides the detail:
Andy was playing a kind of a-tonal saxophone part that had nothing particularly to do with the song – the same twelve notes over and over again in different times and inversions, a kind of Schoenburgian thing of all the possible ways of arranging twelve notes…All the elements are very strange but they do work together to give this feeling of something very uneasy proceeding in a direction it’s not quite sure of.
Then, a chilly disembodied voice begins to sing at 1.06, multi-tracked and even-tempered, the bogus man is on his way. By the time of the first bridge at 1.37 (Focused his mind..) the vocal morphs, ghosted and distorted, a visitation from the suicidal voice of ‘Strictly Confidential’ – the subconscious is back, soaring aloft and below.
I love it. Maybe it’s the funkiness. Maybe it’s just because it’s so damn eerie. Either way, it’s a triumph, and I have yet to hear anything like it.
Roxy Music fan, Treblezine
‘Bogus Man’ has its precedents in the Roxy catalog, the most conspicuous being the chilly ‘Chance Meeting‘, a haunted and sinister song from first album Roxy Music that pre-dates the ‘Bogus Man’ by eight months, ‘Chance’ shows Bryan Ferry creating a narrator that is at once sinister and seductive, as noted in RMS Sept 2016: “If there is a truism that the Devil gets all the best lines, then there is indeed menace in these words, a portrayal of looming violence set against Haiku-style imagery (red dress mine).” The atmosphere of ‘Chance Meeting’ is claustrophobic and menacing – you can almost see the fingers on the victim’s throat as the narrator utters “time spent well is so … rare”. Yet while ‘Chance’ holds ambiguity at the core of its frigid heart, ‘Bogus Man’ does no such thing – this guy’s extremely dangerous, and there is little ambiguity regarding his intentions: he is on his way, ready to shoot you with his gun, untiring and relentless. Just like in your dreams, where running away never seems to get you anywhere, except that dead-end alley, and nowhere to hide.
It is an indication of Ferry’s skill as a poet and narrative writer that ‘The Bogus Man’ is presented as a carefully chiselled piece of language that expresses single-minded ruthlessness and lack of mental sophistication (came out a shout/couldn’t find out). The control and attention to detail can be seen in the song’s straight-forward – though alarming – series of rhyming couplets: run/gun; coat/throat; run/fun. Rhyming couplets are the stuff of nursery rhymes and the bogus man has this sense of being a mythical creature, a ‘bogey-man’ type character, sent in to frighten the kids. But Ferry’s bogey-man and its play on words is far from child-like: there’s a killer on the road, Jim Morrison sang in 1971 (rhyming road with toad), and Ferry builds on the same tension: bogus man is on the road and he’s coming at you as fast as he can. This sense of forward movement and frightening inevitability is heightened by the regularity of meter repeated across the stanzas: for example, 11 beats per line in sections 1/3/5 (blue).
The bogus man is on his way as fast as he can run (11) ⇐
He’s tired but he’ll get to you and shoot you with his gun (11) ⇐
[Focused his mind] on something he cared about
The bogus man is at your heels now clutching at your coat (11) ⇐
You must be quick now hurry up he’s scratching at your throat (11) ⇐
[Concealed his doubt] by skillful evasion
He’s tired but he’ll get to you and show you lots of fun (11)⇐
And while the language and killer move forward in steady meter, the song’s poetic structure is detailed and nuanced: ‘The Bogus Man’ has several points of narrative view, all localized, as Ferry has his evil-doer describe his actions and then provide reasoning for his actions. For example, the first, third and fifth (blue) stanzas identify the Bogus Man by name and are in the third person, the killer watching from outside himself (the bogus man is on his way), naming himself in the same manner as other psychopaths like Son of Sam, Doctor Death and so on. In doing so, a persona is created, a character or mask to be hidden behind. This is like a Grimm fairy-tale containing masks and deranged game-playing – a modern Riddles and magic are my game/Rumpelstiltskin is my name kind of word-play.
The second and fourth stanzas (red) tease and tweak this point-of-view – the killer still refers to himself in the third person (concealed his doubt) but the ‘bogus man’ moniker drops in favour of a heightened personal insight – Focused his mind on something he cared about/But it came out a shout/just like before. The narrative and message is clear: once upon a time the bogus man tried to learn something (focused his mind) that had emotional importance to him (cared about) but he couldn’t comprehend or explain (came out a shout). ‘Shout’ is a brilliant word choice for it expresses the bogus man’s response to his predicament: hopelessness and frustration, followed by a wail of inarticulate anger. And ominously, this has happened more than once (just like before).
In its lyrical approach ‘The Bogus Man’ is at once a song about murder and mayhem, but it also displays a curious attempt to explain the actions of the assassin, or at least present a picture of a man who struggles with communication and belonging, and consequently creates a mask or in order to justify – or simply explain – his hideous actions. Psychotic rage is a hot topic for rock stars – perhaps the most famous example being ‘Midnight Rambler‘ by the Rolling Stones, a first-person telling (allegedly) of the murder spree of the Boston Strangler. An engaging though lyrically unimaginative song – building on Jagger’s sympathy for the devil schtick – the narrative merely defines the killer in the first person: I’m talkin’ ’bout the midnight rambler/Did you see me jump the garden wall/I don’t give you a hoot of warning. So too with the Jim Morrison’s brilliant ‘Riders on the Storm‘ – the last song recorded by The Doors – where the point-of-view is third person but fairly conventional at that (If you give this man a ride/Sweet family will die/Killer on the road). Fantastic music, incredible atmosphere and imagery, but no point-of-view ambiguity or de-centering during the telling of the tale.
The closest relative to ‘The Bogus Man’ though is the classic ‘Psycho Killer‘ by the Talking Heads. (Or, Son of Bogus Man, if there could be such a thing). The first person is used with the narrative goal of getting deeper inside the killer’s head as the murders occur. Lyricist and songwriter David Byrne describes the process: “I thought I would write a song about a very dramatic subject the way [Alice Cooper] does, but from inside the person, playing down the drama. Rather than making it theatrical the way Alice Cooper would, I’d go for what’s going on inside the killer’s mind, what I imagined he might be thinking” (2002). This lead to Bryne creating a duality of mind in the killer: a conventional first person telling (I can’t seem to face up to the facts) and the the killer speaking french to himself, as in Qu’est-ce que c’est?” (“What is this/it?”).
Lyrics in French
Ce que j’ai fait, ce soir-là
Ce qu’elle a dit, ce soir-là
Réalisant mon espoir
Je me lance vers la gloire… OK
What I did, that evening
What she said, that evening
Fulfilling my hope
Headlong I go towards glory… OK
David Byrne, ‘Psycho Killer’ translation
Pretty punk, and pretty postmodern too: the alienation of the French language for most English speakers mimics the difficulty of getting inside the killer’s head. Such literalism however throws a bit of a wrench in the anticipated poetic reward, but this is a justifiable merging of theme and content in such a magnificent song. And while Bryne’s killer speaks to himself in French – an urbane art school joke if ever there was one – Ferry’s killer is clueless, too busy trying to understand why he is always on the outside. Concealed his doubt by skillful evasion we are proudly told, but the bogus man misses the irony of “but he couldn’t find out about deception”. And on this, arguably, we are asked to relate to the killer, if only on a trivial level: how often in our daily lives do we feel we don’t understand something but hide that fact, conceal our doubt by skillful evasion. (God knows I spend most of my days in a state akin to acute joy and an abstract fear – and that’s just before my morning coffee). The difference between “us” and “him” is that the bogus man is not aware or intelligent enough or not educated enough – or just not part of society enough – to understand how to deceive, a skill most of us take for granted. The catch here of course is that a killer who cannot deceive is going to get caught, and this is insight the bogus man does not possess – the inevitability of his own eventual capture and incarceration.
Deception is the most necessary art in life.
The one thing we always knew was that Roxy had to keep changing
Phil Manzanera, 2012
He’s Tired But..
At the conclusion of ‘The Bogus Man’ the song and the executioner run out of energy. We hear the sounds of exhausted breath, the cold air suggesting death or some horrible necrophilia, or both, the final actions of the song almost certainly sexual and murderous. In both ‘The Bogus Man’ and ‘In Every Dream Home’ the goal of human connection is reduced to sex with a dead or inanimate being or commodity. Grim stuff: thank goodness the music and the brilliance of the lyrics saves us from slitting our wrists. (Or worse, becoming a Journey fan). This roll-call of death and fleshly absence haunt For Your Pleasure like mist settling on cold skin: the lovers in ‘Editions of You‘ are lifeless, bot-like fashion models; ‘Beauty Queen‘s Valerie is a pin-up remembered from an old glamour magazine; the female suicidal voice in ‘Strictly Confidential‘ contains the ghostly presence of the deceased Marilyn Monroe or some other tragic Love Goddess; ‘Do the Strand‘ invents a dance that has never been and never will be.
The over-riding sense of ‘The Bogus Man’ then is that it is a thematic termination of sorts, that this is where the game is up, for both Bryan Ferry and for this version of Roxy Music. After ‘The Bogus Man’ the Roxy ‘state of mind’ shifts to brighter colors – there is angst and self-criticism (and much beauty) still to come – but a decision is made in ‘Bogus Man’ that pulls the Roxy front man from the brink of what can only be described as the ‘dark cloak of evening shadow’. Ferry uses his constructed characters as masks and personae to interrogate his newly found circumstances: the sudden rush of fame; the achievement of a dream (and the problem of how to hold onto that dream); and so on. In spite of his success he feels alone and isolated, a situation explored most clearly in ‘Strictly Confidential‘ a song in which creativity is likened to the condition of mental illness, and a sense of inadequacy and dread take hold in the form of personal shyness and a fear of public speaking (Tongue tied the thread of conversation/ Weighing the words one tries to use). These themes culminate in the extraordinary confessions contained behind the masks and persona created for the ‘The Bogus Man’:
I am inadequate
I doubt my abilities
How long can I keep up the pretense
He’s tired but he’ll get to you
Ever had a dream where you turn on yourself?
Clutching at your coat
Scratching at your throat
The singer who cannot sing, the entertainer who cannot communicate. A star who feels like an an outsider. A star who feels like a fraud. A phony. A fake. A bogus man. ‘The Bogus Man’ is Bryan Ferry’s own nightmare, played back to his audience via a mask he created for a psychopath. Another horror story written in strict confidence, to us, his loyal and dedicated audience, for our pleasure.
We never really felt accepted…And we’re still not a part of it, not really, even to this day.

Diese Geschichte zum Hintergrund und zur Entstehung des Songs ist sehr interessant. Gern gelesen. Ich weiß nun besser, was der Song beinhaltet. Es macht mir aber keine Angst. The Bogus Man enthält einen größeren Anteil Bryan Ferry. Thank you for the music.

Not everybody can become a Gallagher! Because you would be quickly referred to the melodic genius of some (Noel Gallagher) or the technical splendour of others (Rory Gallagher). And if you happen to be a guitar player, a bluesman, and an Irishman, expect no indulgence at all. But all this seems to be of non-concern to the serene Johnny Gallagher because his music speaks for himself, just like this compilation assembling some of his best recordings since he released his first album in 1997. Johnny's quiet confidence is far from being fake because he has been Into music ever since he was a child. His mother, a hairdresser by trade, composed music on her spare time, while his idolized father, backed by an uncle, had founded a band in 1959 that met with some success in Ireland. Those are the foundations of a deeply built force that doesn't appear out of nowhere. He first started drumming at 9 in a local brass band in Bundoran, Donegal County. When he was 12 he joined his father's band with which he even toured the USA. Deeply in love with classical music he learned to play violin and cello as well as mandolin and banjo, long before becoming the recognized wizard of the acoustic and electric guitar (and bass) of today. It is obvious that he was nurtured by all the big rock & roll names (Elvis, Beatles, Stones, David Gilmour, EVH, Hendrix) as well as blues greats (SRV, Peter Green, Rory). He is also deeply influenced by country music, Waylon Jennings being his favourite artist in this field, a performer he saw during the very first concert he attended. In short, an outstanding combination whose spirit can be found here and there when listening to the 14 tracks brought together in "A 2020 Vision », the perfect album for an artist whose recordings stay unrecognized due to the fact that Johnny is better known as an entertainer delivering stunning magic shows on the main stages and festivals of the European circuit, especially in France. Carried on by the force of his over-driven Boxty Band whose backbone are Johnny Gallagher's twin brothers, Pauric and James, consider "A 2020 Vision » as a sumptuous "Best of" of Johnny's merciless talent as shown on his five self-produced albums to this day (« Whatever Is Good » in 1997 ; « Johnny Live at Fin McCools » in 2002 ; « Piece Of Mind » in 2007 ; « The Studio Sessions » in 2014 ; « The Pump House Suite » in 2018).

What are the general features of Gothic?
What are the features of Gothic?
The word “baroque” comes from the Portuguese word barroco meaning misshapen pearl, a negative description of the ornate and heavily ornamented music of this period.
Later, the name came to apply also to the architecture of the same period..
Other characteristic qualities include grandeur, drama and contrast (especially in lighting), curvaceousness, and an often dizzying array of rich surface treatments, twisting elements, and gilded statuary. Architects unabashedly applied bright colours and illusory, vividly painted ceilings.
There are three things that make Gothic architecture Gothic:The pointed arch.The ribbed vault.The flying buttress.
Some of the qualities most frequently associated with the Baroque are grandeur, sensuous richness, drama, dynamism, movement, tension, emotional exuberance, and a tendency to blur distinctions between the various arts.
The defining characteristics of the Baroque style were: real or implied movement, an attempt to represent infinity, an emphasis on light and its effects, and a focus on the theatrical.
Baroque came to English from a French word meaning “irregularly shaped.” At first, the word in French was used mostly to refer to pearls. Eventually, it came to describe an extravagant style of art characterized by curving lines, gilt, and gold.
Characteristics of the Gothic include: death and decay, haunted homes/castles, family curses, madness, powerful love/romance, ghosts, and vampires. The genre is said to have become popular in the late 18th century with the publication of Horace Walpole’s novel The Castle of Otranto in 1764.
Italian Baroque architecture has several important characteristics. It usually includes curving forms including oval shapes and a combination of concave and convex forms that make walls seems to undulate, or appear wavy with a strong sense of motion.
You can usually recognise a Baroque house by the central span of the façade, where the door or gate is located. The design of this span is usually more elaborate than the rest of the façade. Many of Antwerp’s houses, convents and almshouses then and now have such a typical, striking entrance.
The Baroque style is characterized by exaggerated motion and clear detail used to produce drama, exuberance, and grandeur in sculpture , painting, architecture, literature, dance, and music. … Famous painters of the Baroque era include Rubens, Caravaggio, and Rembrandt.
The Baroque is a highly ornate and elaborate style of architecture, art and design that flourished in Europe in the 17th and first half of the 18th century. … Baroque art and design addressed the viewer’s senses directly, appealing to the emotions as well as the intellect.
Rococo developed out of Baroque. Both styles feature elaborate ornament and decoration, and both were used in large structures with a social or cultural status. … Baroque architecture is serious, dramatic, and heavy. On the other hand, Rococo is light, airy, and decorative.
The Origins of Baroque Art. The Baroque started as a response of the Catholic Church to the many criticisms that arose during the Protestant Reformation in the 16th-century. The seat of the Catholic Church in the Vatican saw in art an opportunity for reconnecting with the people.
The important single feature of Gothic architecture is the pointed arch, which is the main difference from Romanesque architecture which had rounded arches. Other important features are the ribbed vault, flying buttress, and windows with patterns of stone lace called tracery.
Defining Elements of Gothic LiteratureMystery and Fear. One of the crucial components of a captivating Gothic story evokes feelings of suspense and fear. … Omens and Curses. … Atmosphere and Setting. … Supernatural and Paranormal Activity. … Romance. … Villain. … Emotional Distress. … Nightmares.More items…•

Trial by using…
Trial by using hearth led internet design CEO into a beneficial area of interest
It became ”trial by using fire,” so to talk, that led Juan Videos, CEO of TechACS Corp., a web design and search engine marketing company in Garden City, into a gap that might probably represent half his sales via yr-give up.
Last 12 months a former TechACS patron turned into being sued for $100,000 by using a plaintiff alleging the patron’s internet site wasn’t accessible for human beings with disabilities.
He got here to Vides to help him upgrade his website online.
“This changed into logo-new to me,” stated Videos, forty-two, who needed to quickly familiarize himself with web accessibility standards.
Within a brief time period, two extra customers came to him for similar assist after additionally being sued, and in view that then Vides has gotten referrals from legal professionals whose clients needed to upgrade their sites following complaints.
Now “60 percent of my clients are legal professionals,” says Vides.
This makes sense considering internet accessibility proceedings nearly tripled in number from 2017 to 2018, from 814 to 2,258, in step with Seyfarth Shaw.
Last 12 months was “genuinely now not an anomaly,” says Minh Vu, a Seyfarth Shaw accomplice in Washington, D.C. “There have been some of pro-plaintiff courtroom rulings in accessibility instances in 2018 and 2019, that have similarly fueled the lawsuit craze.”
The primary trouble is whether or not the plaintiff is able to get entry to the products and offerings which might be presented on an internet site, she says.
Suits have claimed that, for instance, a blind or deaf person could not access statistics on a website because the sites aren’t compatible with an assistive era which includes a software program that reads textual content aloud. The court cases are based on an interpretation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which requires that the products and services of public motels be handy to disabled people, says Vu.
Long-awaited Department of Justice regulations governing website accessibility had been tabled, leaving corporations without clean legal steering approximately what’s required of them, she says. There are voluntary guidelines issued via the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that companies can observe, and that’s what Vides references while upgrading customer web sites.
He prices on average typically among $5,000 and $10,000 to upgrade a domain to comply with internet accessibility requirements, relying on the website’s length and complexity.
Some of the features introduced to make a domain greater reachable encompass including alternate textual content in pix, with a purpose to help assistive display screen-reader technologies to read aloud the photo description; adding textual content interior links; and changing text and historical past colorings so as to make it visible to those with colorblindness.
“It is usually recommended that organizations get ahead of the difficulty before they’re sued,” says Doug Rowe, a regulation companion at Certilman Balin Adler & Hyman in East Meadow. “Compliance can generally be completed via internet site enhancements and checking out software program…so it makes sense for companies to have their websites reviewed before it’s too late.”
Rowe has referred customers to Vides.
“Juan is extraordinarily knowledgeable inside the area of ADA website compliance,” he says, including Vides is “captivated with his paintings and takes satisfaction in his website design offerings.”
Vides commenced out in pc repair however quickly realized he liked constructing websites extra. He started consulting in 2003 and began his enterprise officially in 2009. He started out with internet design and subsequently expanded into seo and online reputation management.
“I’ve grown with the aid of turning into adaptable,” says Vides, who has had to do this in his own lifestyles. He emigrated to the United States with his parents at the age of 4 to escape conflict in El Salvador.
The Vides family changed into granted amnesty via President Ronald Reagan in 1986 with the passage of the Immigration Reform and Control Act, and at age 16 Juan became a U.S. Citizen.
“I wanted to be organized to vote once I turned 18,” says Vides, who ran unsuccessfully for the State Assembly last yr however nevertheless got near 46 percentage of the vote.
“He’s a family guy, a businessman, and his precedence is humans now not politics,” says former Assembly. Harvey Weisenberg, a mentor to Vides.
Videos these days upgraded the Harvey and Ellen Weisenberg Foundation internet site so it conformed to web accessibility standards. The basis advocates for humans with special wishes.
Moving ahead, Vides hopes to teach groups on website accessibility, and he has launched a web portal to try this: adarules.Com.
He said pivoting to this area of interest — which now represents 15 percent of his enterprise — wasn’t a stretch with his tech background.
For corporations trying to pursue new markets it helps if you may leverage off your existing strengths or talent sets, says Liz Bentley of Liz Bentley Associates, leadership development and govt consulting company in Cold Spring Harbor. “You want to leverage the know-how you already have,” she says, noting this could mean mastering new skills.
Listening for your clients and listening to what their desires are can help you pivot in the proper course, she says.
Vides says that’s what he’s achieved and will keep doing.
“With era, you have to stay beforehand,” he says. “If you don’t, you come to be a dinosaur.”

I used an average of production and expenditure GDP, and Household Labour Force Survey (HLFS) hours worked data. The rather dismal picture was of no productivity growth at all for the last few years.
Comparable quarterly data isn’t readily available for a wide range of other countries, so for such comparisons one is forced back onto annual data from international databases such as the OECD’s. And the international agencies take a while to get a full set of annual data – thus, New Zealand’s annual national accounts for the year to March 2016 (used as the basis for the OECD’s 2015 annual numbers) won’t be released until next month. We aren’t the only laggard – for a third of the OECD countries there are only 2014 annual numbers available.
So how has our (labour) productivity growth compared with that of other OECD countries over, say, the decade to 2014? Taking a decade is (like all such comparisons) a little arbitrary, but it should be long enough to largely eliminate the effects of year-to-year volatility. And a comparison starting in 2004 and ending in 2014 means starting before the peak of the last boom, and ending when the worst of the 08/09 recession and the euro crisis was over (well, perhaps with the exception of Greece).
Poor among Anglo countries
I’ve highlighted New Zealand (in red) and the other Anglo countries (in green). The median growth rate for this set of countries is a couple of observations to the right of New Zealand. Note that I am using (real) national currency measures here. If one wants to compare income or productivity levels across countries, one has to use PPP-adjusted measures. But in comparing growth rates, the OECD recommend (sensibly) using national currency measures.
New Zealand’s performance hasn’t been notably bad by any means – just a little below the median. But then the goal has supposedly been to grow a bit faster than the other advanced countries, to close the large gap between productivity and incomes in New Zealand and those elsewhere in the OECD. And in fairness, most of the countries to the far-right of the chart have lower levels of productivity than New Zealand – so they are also trying (and succeeding in their case) in catching up. But New Zealand couldn’t even quite match the productivity growth rates of the other Anglo countries – traditional comparators.
Sometimes one detects a sense among people writing about New Zealand that small countries face a particular disadvantage, and that small countries couldn’t be expected to sustain as rapid income or productivity growth as large countries. Taking a longer span of data, I had a look at that proposition in a post last year. There didn’t seem to be much, if any, support for the idea that big countries get rich faster.
But what about the last decade?
Here is same chart:
I’ve drawn the line no doubt a bit arbitrarily. Netherlands has a population of around 17 million and it and all larger countries are “big”. Other countries, with populations of 11 million or less as small. If anything, the small countries have done slightly better than the large countries over this particular period, but the difference is not enough that I’d want to make anything of it. But the message is still the same: New Zealand hasn’t done particularly well, and plenty of small countries have done better.
The OECD’s database goes back to 1970, but they only have full data for 21 countries (including New Zealand for that period). Over the full period, we had the second slowest productivity growth of those 21 countries.
And once again, the small countries and large countries are scattered either side of the median.
Over the last decade, we have actually grown very slightly faster than the median of these particular 21 countries. It has been our least bad decade since 1970. But I wouldn’t take much comfort from that: (a) the difference was slight, (b) we grew a bit less rapidly than the whole OECD median, and (c) on our own more recent data (see first chart) we’ve had no productivity growth at all in recent years.

Michael Wood says:
It is fascinating data. A couple of things leap out that would benefit from some analysis. One is that almost all of the great performers (more than 15% growth 2004 to 2014) are ex-Soviet bloc countries, which presumably points to the level of the catch-up attained after abandoning highly centralized economic policies in favour of more free-market ones. Of the two that aren’t in this category, Ireland has presumably benefited from both a high level of EU subsidies for their rural sector plus a huge inflow of foreign investment as a result of their very low corporate tax rates, and Korea has ridden a massive tech-sector boom from the likes of massive companies like Samsung and an automobile sector that has taken on the dominant Japanese competitors and won. NZ will never be a Korea, but it could emulate Ireland by lowering its corporate tax rates to encourage greater foreign direct investment.
Just in terms of your comments on Ireland and Korea, recall that these data are only for the last 10 years. The biggest gains to Ireland from entering the EU will have been 20 or 30 (even 40) years ago. I am keen on a much lower tax rate on capital income (including business income) and think it would produce gains, altho as the second commenter notes, our distance/location suggests a certain modesty in our expectations of what a much lower capital tax rate might achieve.
Ross McKitterick says:
Well Michael interesting stuff but I put your line of reasoning into my favourite catch all phrase..”If only we were more like ———– then we would be a great country”. eg If only we were more like Ireland we would have great productivity. Of course we would be stuffed as a country just like Ireland as they achieved absolutely nothing.
I work around Wellington and the number of young Irish working here is amazing…I wonder why, because their country is stuffed!
I certainly don’t want to be more like Korea either.
I have business associations with a major privately owned German company. Last year our annual conference was in Venice and I got the prize for the farthest country and the longest trip time to get to Venice, 40 odd hours. This year it was New Delhi and that was 20 hours. Every year we suggest lets have it in NZ, and predictably we get screamed down with howls of outrage.
Also predictably they are setting up operations in Baroda, India. Why, as there are 1.2billion Indians less than 10 hours flight time from Munich.
Do you really think a corporate tax rate of 28%, or 24% is going to attract them to invest in NZ with a measly 4.5m people scattered over 4 small cities?
I think you have to look deeper, and I think there is no one shot answer. Good Luck with any future analysis but I suspect the answer lies in our history and our culture..what do you think?

Dr. Craig Detweiler's Response to 'Auschwitz Selfie' | CNN Belief Blog
Smiling for 'Auschwitz selfies,' and crying into the digital wilderness
Opinion by Craig Detweiler, Special to CNN
(CNN) – It is understandable why Breanna Mitchell’s sunny tweet from Auschwitz as “PrincessBMM” would spark a viral outcry.
A tour of a concentration camp, where so many Jews lost their lives, may move us to take photos or post responses – but few would include smiles, or selfies.
But Mitchell is not the first teenager to generate Internet outrage by her response to the Holocaust.
When Justin Bieber visited the Anne Frank House last year, he wrote in the museum guest book, “Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully, she would have been a Belieber.”
While many have ripped into Mitchell and Bieber for their insensitivity, I don’t think they intended to be disrespectful to the dead.
Thanks to the ubiquity of mobile devices (mobiquity!), adolescent mistakes and hard lessons that used to be learned in private can quickly devolve into public drubbings.
This is what happens when new technologies clash with ancient understandings of the sacred. The problem is so pervasive that a Tumblr site, “Selfies at Serious Places” is dedicated to such faux pas.
We have very few spaces that our culture considers sacred, where an association with the divine results in a feeling of awe or reverence. Death may seem especially abstract to young people who haven’t been shown how to grieve, mourn or respect the dead.
So how might we help the emerging generation to develop a digital decorum that accounts for sacred spaces? Can we incorporate electronic ethics into religious instruction?
This summer, I have been teaching students at Pepperdine University’s London campus, which has given my family remarkable opportunities to see the places that define European history. Traveling with my 12- and 14-year-old children has raised questions about what is appropriate and where.
While some churches such as Westminster Abbey prohibit photography, others such as the Salisbury Cathedral allow all kinds of cameras. Our eyes, ears and spirits were far more sensitized in Westminster Abbey, where we were freed from “getting the shot.”
Once an hour, an announcement at the abbey invites visitors to pause, wherever they are, for a moment of respectful silence and prayer. How rare and appropriate to see a church encouraging us to pause en masse for sacred activity – rather than mere digital documentation of our visit.
The selfie could provide a sacred pausing if it didn’t involve so much posing.
It is one way to record a moment, to fix an experience as a reminder, “I was here.” It can be a lovely way to communicate to friends and family, “Wish you were here.”
But it also involves a level of performance that often pulls us out of the place itself. And a selfie can veer toward the humblebrag, advertising our summer vacation to friends.
The temptation with social media is to turn our friends into an audience. We cast ourselves as the star and think about how to entertain our followers. Tours of revered spaces become an opportunity to post a photo.
Should we travel to Amsterdam or Auschwitz to acquire content, to have something to share on social media?
We may sink into the spiral described by poet T.S. Eliot, “We had the experience, but missed the meaning.” Our digital devices create a conundrum: how to be fully present in the moment we are also trying to broadcast?
This summer, the line to tour the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam snaked down the block and around the church next door. So many students have read her poignant “Diary of a Young Girl” for school assignments.
Yet John Green’s best-selling, young adult novel, "The Fault in Our Stars," also awakened interest in Frank. In the novel, two teens, battling cancer, climb the stairs to Anne’s attic hideaway, where they experience their first kiss.
Older and established film critics questioned the appropriateness of the scene, but the target audience of adolescents found it powerful and inspiring. Where critics saw blasphemy and disrespect, teens edged toward the transcendent.
As Green writes in “The Fault in Our Stars,” “You have a choice in this world, I believe, about how to tell sad stories, and we made the funny choice.”
When our family toured the house, no photos were allowed. The crowd was remarkably respectful. People of all ages climbed past the bookcase that covered the back half of the house and concealed the Frank family.
While I paused with my kids to take in the reality of the books still on the shelf, a woman in her 40s pulled out her phone and snapped an illicit photo. No personnel saw it. No one chided her actions. Perhaps she shared it on Facebook in a respectful way.
The wisdom in Ecclesiastes declares that there is “A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.” Yet we may not weep or laugh or photograph the same things at the same time.
We found even more incongruous responses to the Holocaust in Berlin.
Architects Peter Eisenman and Daniel Libeskind navigated considerable controversies while crafting moving Holocaust memorials. They respected the concerns of families and survivors while making history relevant for generations to come.
But they cannot control the public’s response.
While my family walked reverently through the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, others were playing hide-and-seek and jumping across the tomb-like steles.
At the Jewish Museum, we were haunted by the Holocaust Tower. When the door closed behind us with a thunderous boom, the huge, oppressive walls and darkness bore down upon us. Yet we also watched countless school groups cruise in, take a quick pic and hop out.
Should we be encouraged that so many young people were touring the museum?
Parents and educators are challenged to communicate the gravity of the Holocaust to the next generation. In “Night,” Elie Wiesel reminded us why we must continue to teach and speak and visit horrific places like Auschwitz, “For in the end, it is all about memory, its sources and its magnitude, and, of course, its consequences.”
Still, we cannot control what Justin Bieber or Breanna Mitchell post.
Where most of us saw disrespect in Mitchell’s smile, she claimed it was a moment of bonding with her deceased father. Their shared experience of studying about Auschwitz found fruition in her visit. Her selfie and smile was a positive form of grieving – and an affront to others.
Perhaps the wisdom of Viktor Frankl can help us navigate a world where privacy has nearly collapsed and everything is open to self-promotion.
In “Man’s Search for Meaning,” Frankl noted: “Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
We must continue to provide sacred spaces and opportunities for us all to pause, to turn off our devices long enough to experience the divine. But that space must also be open to indifference, to blasphemy, to selfies.
For even in its intense inward focus, the selfie posted on social media is also a cry into the void: “Is anybody there? Does anybody care?”
May Bieber and Mitchell hear an affirming whisper rather than merely a massive outrage.

Muhsin Musa Matwalli Atwah is an alleged member of Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda network. Atwah has been accused of involvement in the 1998 conspiracy to bomb the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya. The FBI included him in its list of the 22 “most wanted terrorists” following the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon near Washington, D.C.
The United States indicted Atwah, an Egyptian, in 1998 on charges relating to the bombings of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya in which 224 people died. The indictment also claimed that he provided military and intelligence training for members of the Al Qaeda network in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Sudan.

USAF Updates Its Irregular Warfare Strategy to Address Strategic Guidance
Mort Rolleston and Peter Garretson
The Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force recently signed an updated United States Air Force (USAF) Irregular Warfare (IW) Strategy to provide direction for the USAF to organize, train, and equip to provide capabilities necessary to meet strategic guidance. The USAF published the initial version of its IW Strategy in 2009. Since then, however, strategic guidance has sought to rebalance IW:
From large-scale operations to low-cost, small footprint approaches
From direct U.S. operations to indirect actions by, with, and through partner nations
From large-scale counterinsurgency and stability operations in Iraq and Afghanistan to a more distributed, though carefully prioritized, global effort focusing more on the Asia-Pacific region
From crisis response, near-term focused efforts to more deliberate, long-term efforts closely tied to enduring U.S. strategic interests
From predominantly a special operations force mission to one institutionalized across the general purpose force
Also since its publication, several studies by the Joint Staff and the USAF have highlighted critical shortfalls and challenges affecting USAF conduct of IW that need to be fixed to address this strategic guidance. They include: the lack of a coordinated U.S. Government strategy and execution; authorities that do not support long-term planning and execution timelines; capability and manpower shortfalls; the lack of “right tech” USAF platforms to transfer to partner nations; limited funding; and inadequate IW education and training.
The new USAF IW Strategy replaces the initial version to remain consistent with these developments. It first provides the context underlying this strategy by briefly summarizing: (1) what IW is; (2) how airpower contributes to IW-related operations and activities; (3) the changes in strategic guidance related to IW relevant to the USAF; and (4) documented shortfalls and challenges facing USAF IW operations before describing the USAF’s IW strategy to organize, train, and equip to address the new guidance and challenges.
The USAF IW Strategy has nine initiatives:
1. Adopt a partnering culture: Going forward, air advising and being an instructor to partner air forces and civilian aviation will be part of the fundamental identity, self-concept, and expectations of individual Airmen. Building and maintaining language, region, and culture expertise; demonstrating air advising skills; and thinking strategically about how peacetime operations can shape geopolitical relationships to provide advantage for U.S. foreign policy will grow in importance and positively affect individual promotions.
2. Influence U.S. global shaping activities guided by a new USAF Aviation Enterprise Development (AED) Vision and Strategy. The primary USAF approach to conduct IW indirectly by, with, and through partner nations is to help develop, enhance, and sustain their aviation enterprise as directed by the Department of State as part of the overall U.S. security sector assistance effort. While the USAF is only one of many actors involved in this effort and does not lead them, it has clear equities in its success, especially given it is a critical enabler of future base access vital to achieving Global Vigilance, Global Reach, and Global Power. Therefore, the USAF AED Vision (now in coordination) intends to help shape this whole-of-government effort as it relates to the global air domain. A forthcoming separate USAF AED Strategy will describe how the USAF will achieve its part of that AED Vision.
3. Advocate IW authorities that enable effective, long-term, persistent engagements. The laws governing security sector assistance efforts across the U.S. government and the lack of broad authority for multi-year spending creates a confusing and difficult patchwork of authorities that prevents effective long-term planning essential for most IW operations and activities. The USAF will continue to work with Congress and OSD to address or mitigate this challenge through legislation and other appropriate means.
4. Establish the means to meet global light aviation demands with American aircraft and services. One goal of strategic guidance is for the United States to become “the partner of choice.” However, because the U.S. military today often does not fly the transferrable, affordable, modular, and interoperable platforms emerging air forces need, those nations tend to approach other suppliers, to include potential strategic competitors. Therefore, the USAF will establish a creative, effective, and affordable way to enhance its ability to develop PN air forces that operate light aircraft.
5. Adequately man planning staffs associated with IW. To effectively execute strategic guidance, there must not only be adequately trained personnel on planning staffs (particularly those AFFOR staffs supporting the geographic combatant commanders), but also enough personnel to effectively plan and execute IW, especially in drafting and executing long-term country plans.
6. Excel at IW-related planning, resourcing, execution, and assessment. Properly developed and executed long-term Theater Campaign Plans, Campaign Support Plans, and Country Support Plans that effectively consider the full spectrum of IW activities at a sufficient level of detail are critical to enable USAF resourcing and manpower processes to effectively address IW-related needs and shortfalls. Airmen will continually engage in this process with all involved to ensure air, space, and cyberspace power are effectively integrated into these plans.
7. Develop a USAF concept and strategy using general purpose forces to support unconventional warfare. While UW is a specific competency and mission area of special operations forces, it has been supported by GPF in recent conflicts on an ad hoc basis, a trend expected to continue. Therefore, it is important that Airmen think through the future use of UW in advance and promote early consideration of airpower as appropriate in joint and interagency thinking by developing a USAF UW concept and strategy.
8. Address USAF shortfalls in conducting direct IW operations. Nearly all USAF capabilities can be used to conduct or support direct IW operations. The USAF Service Core Function Master Plans and combatant commander Integrated Priorities Lists describe various shortfalls in the ability of the USAF to conduct effective direct IW operations. Such shortfalls need to be addressed.
9. Implement the USAF IW Operations Roadmap FY12-FY16. In October 2012, the CSAF and SECAF signed the USAF IW Operations Roadmap. This roadmap lists a number of tasks intended to: (1) achieve the same level of proficiency in IW as conventional warfare; (2) institutionalize IW across the USAF; and (3) address a number of identified materiel and non-materiel IW shortfalls. Many of these tasks have been completed, but various others are still being worked. Completing these tasks will improve USAF IW capabilities and operations.
In sum, achieving these initiatives will significantly strengthen the USAF’s ability to support strategic guidance on IW. They will address materiel and non-materiel shortfalls and improve USAF deliberate, long-term planning for IW. In addition, these initiatives will influence and improve whole-of-government efforts to build partner capacity, as their success is critical to enabling access to conduct global air, space, and cyberspace operations in the future. Finally, these initiatives will improve the chances that nations important to American strategic interests will partner with the United States as opposed to strategic competitors.

Fascinating article. The move from an SOF focus to a broader one seems wise based on my research on the effect of SOF night raids and drone strikes: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/14702436.2013.845383
Robert C. Jones
I have a great deal of respect for how the Air Force does strategy. But IW is a major challenge for a service that is fiscally "all in" on pointy nosed fighter planes designed for a conflict that may never occur.
There is not much capital (money or personnel) left to invest in the types of platforms that are most effective when confronting IW situations.
Capabilities and capacity for strategic deterrence, strategic lift and IW operational platforms are what we need for the peace we operate within today and into the foreseeable future.
Then there is partnering. Most of the nations with the greatest IW threat have even less interest in IW air capacity than the US does. These are nations that think jet noise is cool and that pointy nosed fighter planes are sexy. They then train to dog fight ala Tom Cruise in Top Gun rather than on how they would actually fight if they ever had to go air to air with another nation. Standing off and firing sophisticated missiles at each other is not sexy or cool.
Then their is industry. Lockheed Martin does not want to sell relatively simple and inexpensive (and effective) IW aircraft when it can sell extremely complicated, expensive (and ineffective) pointy nosed fighter planes instead. This is both to the US Air Force, and all of these foreign partner air forces as well.
So, yes, I see how this AF strategy nests well with our most recent Defense strategic guidance, and I see how it nests within recent USAF strategic products. But what I don't see is how it really helps us get to being able to support IW operations more effectively organically, or how it helps partners who are either already engaged in, or vulnerable to, IW today.
If the authors could help me understand this apparent disconnect between word and deed it would be very helpful.

e2v reveals the first K-band capable DAC
The EV12DS460, a 6Gsaple/s DAC that can achieve clean signal generation up to 26.5GHz is now available from e2v. The converter is the first DAC to perform signal generation directly in the K-band frequency (18 to 27GHz), removing the need for signal up-conversion and the mixers that perform this task. RF applications operating at higher bands will benefit from system simplification through size, weight and power (SWaP) savings, meeting growing demands to reduce the cost of system ownership.
With an ability to operate in the previously up-converted K-band frequency, the EV12DS460 is said to contain the largest choice of DAC settings to optimise performance up to 26.5GHz. It is also equipped with four output operating modes and includes an option for program pulse shaping, making it proficient at handling the most specific of RF applications.
Laurent Monge, vice-president of Semiconductors at e2v, said: “Removing up-conversion stages in our customers’ systems operating up to K-band will help them to simplify system design. We’ve always pushed the limits of signal conversion technology since developing the world’s first microwave frequency capable data converter, and the EV12DS460 is evidence of this.”
The company states that each packaging option for the EV12DS460 guarantees dynamic performance across different temperature ranges, including military grade at -55 to 125°C, offering a powerful and versatile data conversion solution.

Seven Sisters Beirut Bans Veiled Woman From Entering Because International Football Players Were There
Pic via Daily Star.
It’s perfectly legal for any private institution in the country to pick the clientele it wants to admit, that’s a given. But that doesn’t mean that some practices should go by unchallenged or even accepted just because they are legal, such as Iris banning men under the age of 24 but allowing women, because who knows why?
The Seven Sisters Bar and Grill in Beirut reportedly barred entry (link) for a couple with a veiled woman despite being told, before coming to the place, that they would be allowed to sit at the bar if they arrived between certain hours, which the couple had done.
While trying to negotiate their way into the place, the couple was surprised to see many unveiled women enter without even having their names checked on a reservation list. A recording, according to the Daily Star, saw the Seven Sisters Beirut establishment say: “We’re not allowing anyone with hijab tonight because it’s a special night.”
Find a link to the recording here.
The special night they were referring to was a football-themed gathering whereby international football players who were coming to Lebanon for a charity game against Lebanese players were meeting fans for photographs and autographs, among other things.
It seems the Seven Sisters Beirut establishment didn’t want those football players from being exposed to any culture that they probably deem “not fit” for the reputation they want to perpetuate about the country. You know, the reputation where everything everyone does in Lebanon is party and drink and enjoy this joie de vivre everyone believes is what makes Lebanese special.
This kind of discriminatory behavior is appalling and, quite honestly, will stop people like me – the non-veiled clientele that you want to bring into your establishment – from ever stepping foot there again. You should be ashamed of wanting to hide away essential and predominant figures of Lebanese society in order to paint a fake image for a football player who couldn’t remotely care.
But isn’t this how we do business in this country? We perpetuate fake-ness and masquerade it as authenticity in the belief that the “Western” way is the way to go, essentially annihilating everything about this country that makes it unique, starting with banning veiled Lebanese women entry to certain restaurants just because “they don’t fit.”
It doesn’t matter if the place served alcohol or pork or any other food that Muslims tend to avoid. The fact that that couple was there willingly meant they were okay with being exposed to whatever it is Seven Sisters offered, and were doing so whole-heartedly. This kind of behavior from the Seven Sisters establishment only serves to further widen the divide between the Lebanon they want to convey and the Lebanon that actually is, one veiled woman being stopped at the door at a time.
So on the night when Luis Figo, Michel Salgado, Carlos Puyol and Roberto Carlos were being pampered left and right by a bar and grill in the heart of Beirut, some Lebanese who may have wanted to see them were falling victims to Islamophobia and prejudice in the heart of a country where Islam is not an anomaly.
Shame on Seven Sister Beirut’s establishment for such derogatory measures. The sad part is they probably couldn’t care less.
The hardships facing veiled women in this country are not only exclusive to being banned from entering certain restaurants. It’s perpetuated to work opportunities whereby some companies would outright refuse applicants just because they’re veiled, to various other aspects of daily Lebanese life that many of us take for granted, which is unfortunate as well as surprising in a country where being veiled isn’t exactly rare. Being non-veiled is beginning to be turned into a privilege. With each passing day, the spectrum of freedom allowed to Lebanese is shrinking.

30 thoughts on “Seven Sisters Beirut Bans Veiled Woman From Entering Because International Football Players Were There”
Seven Sisters says:
Hello Elie,
Addressing the rumor that is spreading over the internet regarding the refusal to allow entry to a veiled woman to Seven Sisters, we as 7Management would like to respond with the 4 points below:
1- The partners at 7Management, the operators of Seven Sisters, come from all races and regions of Lebanon, and would therefore never have any issue towards any religion, race or person, no matter what, our families and friend are as diversified and culturally mixed as our beautiful country.
2- Seven Sisters is not a restaurant. It’s a lounge bar serving mainly alcohol. As such, our one and only policy with veiled women is to inform them that alcohol is served inside, therefore making sure they are not surprised or offended by the abundant alcohol consumption.
3- At Seven Sisters, like all clubs, lounges and night clubs in Lebanon, entrance is restricted to people above 21 and upon reservation.
3- During that particular night when a woman accused us of forbidding entrance to veiled women, there were several veiled women spending the night at Seven Sisters.
4- Yesterday night, more than 400 people were denied entrance due in particular to the fact that several Football players were spending the evening there, which attracted a large crowd. The person behind the polemic had arrived with a large group of people, and as our bouncers are required to make sure the place never becomes overcrowded as per our strict safety standards, they were denied access based on that fact alone.
hundreds of unveiled women were also denied entrance as many veiled spent a memorable night inside.
There was no racial interference, no religious avoidance, no hidden agenda. Far from it. And the result would have been the same whether there had been no veiled women in the group.
Honestly this feels like such a generic press release, there is an audio recording procured by the daily star that says you didn’t want veiled people that night because it’s a special night
Too late for damage control. I hope everyone boycotts your stupid venue.
Lebanese movements says:
Indeed we will never step over your restaurant ever again, and we will make sure to spread the word of your actions, this country is mixed with all different believes and you dont have the right to enforce certain standards at a certain events just because.
firaskay says:
That response is cute and civil but it is too little too late, recording made this statement pure BS. Its your establishment you are free to dictate your own rules, but dont be surprised when people react to your prejudice…
Abdallah Mahmoud says:
yaamatullah says:
You need to fire the person who writes this pseudo PR tripe.
I’m all for damage control and whatnot as is your right but as Anon said previously this feels nothing more than a paint by numbers response.
Of course you have people of all backgrounds working for you – I’d be worried if that wasn’t the case, but your response is also non-factual.
The guy was not there with a large group of people, he was there with his girlfriend.
There is also an audio recording (link: http://vocaroo.com/i/s17cfT2iqcYW) that shows your reps telling him they’re not admitting veiled women that day.
Maybe it’s time to just say there was a mistake and not do such practices ever again.
Chadi Bou Habib says:
There are now parts of the country where it is forbidden to sell alcohol or pork meat, where you cannot be seen eating a sandwich or drinking in the street on Ramadan, you cannot wear short skirts in the streets, nor wear swimsuits on the beach. Just in the past three weeks, there were several articles in the news about municipalities planning to ban alcohol, forbid women from participating to marathons, and ban a dance festival. There were also attempts by some sheikhs in Saida and Minieh to block bands from playing music in festivals. This is relatively new in Lebanon’s history and is ways much more common and widespread than banning veiled women. However, it does not seem to be a matter of concern for the writer … maybe it is easier and safer to lash-out on intolerance when it comes from secular and non-Muslim people. Worst, maybe by some intellectual process that I am still trying to understand, when in the name of Islam, social coercion should not be considered as such, and must be accepted.
ONLY if your memory goes back to 1917. When “Lebanon” (a small part of Shams) had distinct neighborhoods prior to this where Maronites lived in one neighborhood with Maronite laws, Sunnis lived in another neighborhood with Sunni laws, and so forth.
And that situation was much more tolerant than today. How many civil wars has Lebanon endured in its struggle to force a Muslim majority to kowtow to a Maronite minority? And yes I say minority because Lebanon refuses to conduct another census because that will reveal that this supposed democracy is a group of Maronite elites running the show based on extremely old census data.
Where are you living my dear? Power slipped from the hands of the Maronites since the Cairo agreement of 1969 and was transferred to other groups with the Taef agreement. The communitarian system has proven its failure and we need to try something else for sure, but under the Maronites you despise, they were collecting garbage and we had electricity and water. Anyway, this is not what I am talking about here, I am pointing to a growing trend of manipulating the religion into a totalitarian political system and exclusive social order that does not leave any room for diversity. Is your happy with it, good for you, but I am not.
Free thinker says:
What is a veiled woman doing at a bar that serves alcohol ? And for the writer of the article I don’t think anyone considers being veiled a sign of “culture”. More likely a sign of backwardness as it’s not even mandated by the religion. Just as KSA will inforce hijab on all women regardless of their religion, the bar has the right to enforce a civilized dress code on the clientele.
(A) thinker says:
Funny that you ask what was she doing at a bar and at the same time call yourself a free thinker! She was doing just that: being free. Now go live with it and do change your name please
Funny that you ask what was she doing at a bar and at the same time call yourself a free thinker! She was doing just that: being free. Now go live with it and do change your name please.
ksa resident says:
KSA doesn’t do that anymore! Not even in Riyadh. Please be accurate.
Fee Thinker, I think you need a lobotomy in order to be able to think logically.
Why does a Lebanese Muslim woman have to do with Saudi? We live in a “democracy” where people can dress the way they want.
Rawan says:
Dear ‘Free Thinker’, it’s not for me to comment on what the veiled woman was doing at the bar, that’s her personal choice and freedom. I will comment, however, on your blatantly ignorant assumptions regarding veiled women in general. We live in the year 2016 buddy. We’ve come a long way from thinking that something as simple as dress code can define a person.
How can you possibly know any concrete information about a person’s civility or lack thereof from their dress? And what is ‘civility’ anyways? In my opinion, the greatest civility is being open-minded to people and ideas and not being an arrogant person who alienates others. In fact, open-mindedness would serve in your own interest primarily, because you could learn a thing or two about the world.
I wear the veil myself, so would you dismiss me as backward-thinking while actually knowing nothing about me if you saw me on the street? Well then, I suppose you can continue to do that, you are free after all. I can continue working in clinical research at an esteemed research institution where people are wonderfully inclusive and know what is most important in life. And while I work on finding cures to those diseases that plague humans regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, culture, or civility for that matter, you can continue to wallow in your own backwardness and hate. That said, I hope you don’t choose to do that and that you have a change of heart.
Thats not true i know friends who were veiled and were partying with me! So u should reconsider ur article!!
Consider this https://medium.com/@FootballWriter/what-really-happened-at-seven-sisters-entrance-on-that-friday-night-83ac5074b2b0#.mvr8ocxd3
Six things you need to know about this:
1- The visitor was a journalist. Me.
2- He has the recording that might be published soon.
3- The girl with the headscarf is NOT Lebanese- ironically enough.
4- The SS’s statement is far from true. It kills facts and is full of contradiction.
5- The players come from countries where it is scandalous to prevent veiled women from entering a bar.
6- Paul Scholes, he scores goals!!
Choozily says:
Restaurants or other establishments can impose their own rules. However a good management will consider all things before enacting them.
Samer Nasser says:
Actually from a “Western” legal perspective, restaurants cannot “impose their own rules”. Sure, they might be private enterprises, but as places of commerce they are subject to a certain amount of regulation. While it goes without saying that they have to properly abide by contract law (ie. they should act in good faith, fulfill their contracts, honor their implied and expressed warranties, practice truth in advertising, etc.), they also cannot violate their customers’ civil rights by discriminating against them on the basis of their religion! While yes, on the basis of propriety a restaurant might be able to impose a dress code like no caps, torn jeans, sneakers or whatever, a “no hijab” rule would be unconstitutional because it would curtail a woman’s first amendment right to freely practice her religion!
Rabih Hashem says:
This is borderline absurd!
A woman wears the hijab because she is a “multazima” religiously. It’s interesting that she is going to a place that serves alcohol. By what religious logic, she can’t remove her veil but can drink alcohol.
Maybe the real question is whether this was a staged incidence. And the author trying to get on the bandwagon of cheap attention seeking. The author needs to step out of his elitist bubble, travel around Lebanon and then report back.
Googled “multazima” and apparently it means “committed and conformist” so at least you’re not resorting to the generalized and dreadfully hackneyed “coerced against her free will” argument that is so often used to criticize the wearing of the hijab.
Here’s the thing: No disinterested bystander can prove beyond a reasonable doubt on a rudimentary glance that a woman wearing a hijab is doing so against her will. Even worse, it’s morally hazardous and indisputably unethical to try to force a woman to take off her hijab on the unsubstantiated, mere premise and suspicion that it was forced on in the first place.
Besides, this entire line of reasoning is rendered moot in this particular case because by presenting herself for admission to an alcohol-serving establishment, the hijab-wearing customer in question is simultaneously demonstrating that not only is she quite capable of acting out of free will, but she’s also not necessarily fully compliant with the austere, Islamic ideal.
First amendment religious freedoms outside the home and place of worship are usually resolved on the basis of “reasonable accommodation”. If all this woman is asking for is to be allowed into the premises while wearing her hijab, that is entirely reasonable. If she starts asking for more, like say being allowed to unfurl a rug and kneel toward Mecca at prayer-time, then the restaurant will be justified in arguing that providing the facility for her to do so would be an unreasonable accommodation!
And lastly, on whether this was all just an attention-seeking stunt and sensationalist reporting, it’s impossible to tell right now because we’re dealing with a sample size of only 1. To truly discern an unmistakable trend, we’d need a larger sample size. Cases of discrimination are relatively easy to investigate. Just gather a group of people you think are being discriminated against and direct them toward to the place where you think it’s happening, and record whatever ensues…
Abbass says:
It is not about the fact that she is “moultazima” or not，it is the fact thay they denied her entrance due solely to her dress code. Some people look at all the veiled women and think that they are all the same, thinking that they know her and everything about her and her life because of her hijab. And if this were indeed a staged incident i’m glad it happened because it shined the light on this subject and anomalie that’s growing exponenatially
ghassan says:
two point of views were expressed in the comment section .and both sides have mentioned a solution and a problem.first ,you cannot deny a woman wearing a hijab from entering the establishment ,we live in a multi cultural society .and whether she drinks alcohol or not.it is still her choice.but on the other hand,some muslim political parties are imposing some restrictions on the way you look or what to drink and how to live in their areas where they practice their authority as if this country belongs to them and they are dictating their own rules and regulations.to make things worse,some fanatics will impose their religious edicts by force and violence .
I find scandalous that people think a veiled woman can’t/mustn’t enter a place where alcohol is served. Does that mean she can’t enter a supermarket that sells alcohol as well? Or stop visiting her doctor because he/she drinks alcohol? The couple were there to see the players. Simple as. The girl is half foreigner, funnily enough. She comes from a country where people don’t distinguish. She comes from a country where there is no difference between a veiled and unveiled women at bars/beaches/work etc.. What’s wrong with people condoning this discriminatory behaviour!!!? Have they never heard of something called ”choice”?
voice of reasons says:
and do you have the choice to drink alcohol, kiss in public, go to the beach, give political opinions in arab gulf countries? no don’t talk about choice. its wrong to ban the woman but common, they are a 1000 times worst.
Joumana says:
What is a veiled woman doing in a bar like seven sisters?!
I am veiled and I don’t even think about visiting such places! We choose to limit ourselves with some religious rules and we should like it and respect it!
Maybe it’s none of your business? Or maybe you need to read again? Or maybe this thinking is more dangerous than what happened?
ALL OF THE ABOVE.. MAYBE?

Multilayer Characterization At LPARL
Author(s): D. L. Windt; R. C. Catura
We describe a new facility for characterization of the XUV optical performance of multilayer reflectors. Samples are loaded into an ultra-high vacuum, computer-controlled reflectometer consisting of in-vacuum stepper motor translation and rotation stages with relative positioning accuracies of 1µm and 0.1 mdeg, respectively. The reflectometer is used with a laboratory light source which provides collimated, monochromatic radiation from approximately 1800 Å to < 8 Å. The reflectometer is also easily transported for use with synchrotron radiation. Reflectance measurements, using a variety of detectors, can be made from grazing incidence to near-normal incidence, and the reflectometer can be rotated from horizontal to vertical while under vacuum in order to perform polarization-sensitive measurements. In addition to characterizing multilayer reflectors fabricated in our laboratory, the apparatus is well suited for the determination of optical constants using the reflectance versus incidence angle method.

VILANDER: VIR Debrief
Toni Vilander files his latest Sportscar365 column after VIR…
Photo: Scott LePage/IMSA
To finish first, first you have to finish…well, in this case, to finish 3rd but it was very, very good to be standing on the podium in VIR at the weekend – our first full race distance in IMSA since Sebring!
As you all know we’ve had a bit of a break since Le Mans and we had to work hard to get back into the rhythm of the competition as the level is so high.
Everyone on the team was extra motivated to be back and we were all looking forward to the race. There’s been nearly five months since we saw a checkered flag so it was a relief to break out from what has been a tough period for the team.
The Ferrari 488 GTE was handling pretty well out of trailer and both Giancarlo and I got back into it quite nicely during the practice sessions. The team has had some great results from VIR over the last five years, winning twice and 2 more podiums and we all really like the GTLM/GTD only format.
It’s a really tricky track where it’s easy to make a mistake, but actually there’s no margin for error when it’s just GT cars. There’s no time to back off, or space to make any errors, so mentally it was more challenging. You have a small amount of time to figure out lots of things, but results like this give everyone at Risi Competizione lots of motivation and confidence.
As we have been quite a few times, we were fastest in FP3, but then found that our competitors have more pace in their cars in qualifying than we do.
In Virginia, most of the time it was full throttle and we’re strong in corners so we were able to keep up at the sharp end. P4 wasn’t a bad place to qualify and we knew that we had a good strategy so were quietly confident.
To be able to dominate or win races though we need a little bit more power, but we are in a lot better situation than the beginning of last year so at least we can compete.
In the race, it all kicked off from turn one on the first lap and we knew we needed to push like hell. Giancarlo was really on it and did a great job the whole weekend, and he kept us in the mix to the first pit stops despite a little contact with the No. 24 BMW which dropped us back a few places.
This kind of race distance is quite on the edge for everyone for fuel strategy, and in our pre-race debrief it was on the limit as to how many laps we could do in the first stint. During the race we got confirmation it was all good and we came in after 30 laps – same as many of our competitors.
The Risi Comp boys did a really good pit stop – a REALLY good pit stop – and I came back out in P2. I had a good but tough fight with Dirk Mueller’s Ford and one of the Corvettes, and we all kept it clean.
I managed to get into the lead in my stint and we knew the final stint of the 2 hour 40 minute race was going to be crucial.
We were obviously aiming for the win, and it was looking good but unfortunately Giancarlo had a little misunderstanding going into a corner with a GTD and to avoid contact he changed line and lost some places. That dropped us down to 6th but it’s never over until it’s over and there was quite a lot of action in the last part of the race.
Giancarlo fought back and then we benefited from the clash between the Ford and Corvette and got a podium finish after all. I’m happy to finish P3 but there’s just a little bitter taste, so at the next few races we will try to improve and win.
A huge thank you to all the team sponsors and everyone at Risi for the weekend. This team is an important part of the IMSA competition and Ferrari needs to help all of us find the right way to go on representing them in North America.
Risi is of course based in Houston and we were all thinking a lot over the weekend about families and friends back there, hoping everyone’s safe.
Mr Risi was back home taking care of his Ferrari dealerships and I hope everything’s fine and that things improve in the coming days. The boys aren’t going to be able to get home for a couple of days – the power of nature is what it is but at least they’ve got some good memories from VIR to take with them.

History of St. Rose Academy
Two other congregations taught in Vincennes before the Sisters of Providence: Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, Kentucky, from 1824-1834, and then Sisters of Charity from Emmitsburg, Maryland, until 1843.
Then, when Mother Theodore was in France, Bishop de la Hailandiere sent three Sisters of Providence to Vincennes. They were at first located in a house on Main Street between Fourth and Fifth – the Bishop’s Block. In 1847, Bishop Bazin relocated them to the former seminary on Second Street. This building also housed resident students, and from 1849 to 1863, orphan girls.
When the orphan boys were moved to the Old College (St. Vincent’s), the girls took their place. This left St. Rose as boarding school and academy, and as before, the sisters’ residence. In 1845, with the consent of Bishop Chatard, the city was to cut a street in the path of St. Rose, the school building was razed and a new St. Rose Academy was built. The third and last building was dedicated in 1964. In 1970, St. Rose Academy joined with Central Catholic High School for boys at Vincennes Rivet High School.

GLORY GLORY (1989) DVD MOVIE
ELLEN GREENE & RICHARD THOMAS
FAITH COMES WHEN WE LEAST EXPECT IT!
Lindsay Anderson's hilarious parody of the church, GLORY! GLORY!, follows a television evangelist show (televangelist) from its roots in a small country church to its complete and total sell-out to commercialism. The Reverend Dan Stuckey (Barry Morse) slowly and painstakingly builds a TV ministry in a tiny country church, taking in half a million dollars a day. His accountant, Reverend Lester Babbitt, (James Whitmore) was given Divine guidance on how to evade taxes on the Church's investments. After his death, Reverend Bobby Joe (Richard Thomas) tries to assume his father's role. However, his boring philosophical sermons fail to bring in enough money to keep the Church afloat.
Seeking guidance from God he goes to the sight of his father's first church, where he sat mesmerized by his preaching, only to find it has been replaced by a rock-n-roll bar. He goes into the bar and is captivated by Ruth (Ellen Greene), a foul-mouthed, drug-addicted singer-songwriter who is desperate for a big break. She agrees to take on the persona of "Sister Ruth," to help Reverend Bobby Joe re-popularize his church. Her songs, "Back in Jesus' Arms," and "Satan Sucks," prove instant hits and the money starts flowing again.
Nevertheless, when her needs: cocaine, an abortion, prove to be too much of a burden, Lester calls in Vincent (George Buza), an ex-con who's found Jesus "helps" the Church. From there, the church's circus atmosphere only gets crazier. A smart, balanced script by Stan Daniels keeps this film from becoming unbelievable parody. The religious characters, while at times venal, have real faith, which is never satirized. The way that the characters react to extreme situations provides the comedy in Lindsay Anderson's realistically skewed look at the world of TV evangelism.

Press & Blogs
Situated in non-specific yet decidedly natural landscapes, Burwash depicts figures experiencing the spectrum of life: creation, destruction, rest, play, curiosity, sorrow, exhilaration, and death. Landscapes that appear as outlying settlements in which the artist researches the realm of physical and emotional experience, including struggle, hard work, failure and vulnerability. These dreamlike environments celebrate and question a range of gendered interests and identities, with undertones of humour, fantasy and performance. Nature perseveres irregardless of its hardships, a disjunctive labyrinth to traverse in search of a meaningful path. Burwash’s intricate cut-and-paste style within a flattened pictorial space reflects her inclination towards the tactile and rudimentary in contrast to virtual languages that saturate us.
Sarah Burwash grew in up in Rossland, B.C. and graduated from the University of British Columbia Okanagan in 2009 with an interdisciplinary BFA. Working in a variety of media from drawing and animation, to ceramics and installation, Burwash’s work most often takes form in narrative watercolour paintings. Her work is included in private and public collections internationally and has been shown in Canada, USA and in Europe. She has participated in residencies internationally, most recent at Andrea Zittel’s A-Z West Experimental Cabins in Joshua Tree, CA . Burwash lives in Northern Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, working as an artist, illustrator and steward of the boreal forest.

About Susan Wright
← What Would the Romans Do?
Meet the “United” Conservative Party →
The Conservative Ideology
Posted on May 14, 2017 by susanonthesoapbox
“ideology” \ˌī-dē-ˈä-lə-jē, -ˈa-, ˌi-\ a systematic body of concepts, especially those of a particular group or political party—Merriam-Webster
The word “ideology” was coined by the French philosopher Destutt de Tracy. Originally it meant the science of ideas; but shrewd politicians like Napoleon Bonaparte corrupted it to mean something more pejorative, even sinister.
This is unfortunate because politicians professing to be free from ideology are in fact admitting that they’re rudderless.
For them politics is simply a contest for power which will be won by capturing the issues of the day in catchy slogans and using them to bamboozle citizens to vote for them.
The trouble with slogans is that unlike ideologies they’re meaningless and/or misleading and provide no action plan for the future.
Speaking of meaningless…
Destructive conservatism
Jason Kenney is working tirelessly to merge the Progressive Conservatives and the Wildrose Party into the Free Enterprise coalition.
Jason Kenney leadership hopeful #1
His slogan (for now) is Restore the Alberta Advantage. How? By beating Rachel Notley’s NDP in the next election and destroying everything the NDP has done over the last four years.
Brian Jean is squarely on board with Jason Kenney’s destructive mission except he says he’ll replace the carbon tax, not eliminate it (smart man, why get rid of a tax after the public has gotten used to it, just repurpose the extra revenue to suit your own agenda).
The theme of destruction is important because it indicates that Alberta’s conservatives are moving along the same spectrum of conservatism that’s engulfed the United Kingdom and the USA.
George Monbiot, the British writer and political activist, says conservatism has three forms:
inclusive conservatism which seeks to protect things of value for everyone’s benefit (eg wildlife, works of art and significant institutions like universal healthcare);
exclusive conservatism which resists changes that would help the majority in order to protect the privileges enjoyed by the minority (this necessitates opposing things like progressive taxation and the social safety net); and
something that calls itself conservatism but is “nothing of the kind”. Destructive conservatism destroys everything that stands in the way of profit-taking (eg norms, values, institutions, and public protections).
Alberta conservatism has evolved from the Peter Lougheed’s conservatives, who fell somewhere between the first and second forms of conservatism, and is now closing in on the third form of conservatism, destructive conservatism.
“Destroy the NDP, destroy all they’ve created, erase socialism from every corner of the province”.
Brian Jean leadership hopeful #2
It’s a slogan mindlessly repeated by Kenney/Jean supporters with no thought about what it might mean.
Destructive conservatism leads to bizarre outcomes.
When BC’s Christy Clark announced she’d retaliate against Trump’s new tariffs on softwood by imposing a $70/tonne carbon tax on thermal coal—an act that would cost Alberta 2000 jobs and $300 million/year in lost revenue and violates the Canadian Free Trade Agreement—Kenney held his nose and said Clark’s government was preferable to the NDP.
When Saskatchewan’s premier Brad Wall promised incentives to Alberta energy companies to lure them to Saskatchewan—a move that would further damage Calgary’s economic viability—Kenney and Jean were fine with it.
When Scott Thon, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Energy (yes, Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway) said Alberta found the right balance in transitioning away from fossil fuels and his company would continue to be a long-term investor and Cenovus, CNRL and Suncor announced oilsands investments in excess of $28 billion, Kenney and Jean said the NDP’s climate strategy was driving away investment.
There’s only one explanations for this kind of behavior. Destructive conservatives don’t care who gets hurt as long as they win the next election.
Anyone who doesn’t understand the danger of voting for the Free Enterprise coalition whose sole raison d’etre is to destroy the government that went before it need only look south of the border to see why this is a spectacularly stupid idea.

RJ Pisko says:
These Canadian conservative clowns are Trump wannabes – they don’t have a so-called “value” between them, save for Corporatism and a wider and wider socioeconomic rift. Trouble is, most Albertans are corporatist due to the influence of 45 years of Klein and his ilk . . .
RJ I agree with you. My hope is that the Trump wannabes and the Albertans who support them see the turmoil Trump has created in the US and back off before it’s too late…Americans are beginning to realize what living under destructive conservatism really means: it’s not OK to violate norms (Trump firing Comey), it’s not OK to destroy public protections (amending Obamacare by introducing exclusions which make it impossible to access), the list goes on and on.
Yup – but I just thought of one VERY positive thing – O’Leary turned tail and ran . . .hahahah . . . 🙂
jane walker says:
Great reality check, Susan!! Happy Mother’s Day!
Thanks Jane, you too!
Pearlman Katie says:
Exactly! Great analysis!
Thanks Katie…hopefully Albertans will think before they vote in 2019. I’m sure many Americans wish they’d given more thought to WHY they voted for Trump because “anyone but Hilary” is a pretty stupid reason.
J.E. Molnar says:
Both Jean’s and Kenney’s demagogic dystopian view of Alberta signals bad news for Albertans. Their policies of “on-your-own” economics and “back-to-the-future” conservatism will ring hollow with voters in 2019. Political gravitas means everything these days (see Donald Trump approval ratings), and neither Jean nor Kenney possess large amounts in the eyes of severely normal Albertans (see Mainstreet Research polls), in my humble opinion.
oops – Exactly. Well-stated
RJ your first accidental comment “e” reminded me of Trump’s accidental tweet “We”…the Twittersphere ad a heyday. They said it was the first sensible thing he’d said in a long time. 🙂
J.E. you’re right about Jean and Kenney’s bleak vision of Alberta, which makes me wonder why anyone believes their pitch that all it will take to turn Alberta around is dump the NDP. Why? What are they going to do differently other than reduces personal and corporate taxes which results in even less revenue which leads to service cuts which leads to a poorer quality of life. Jean and Kenney have no vision, no plan, no ideology, nothing.
Intrepid says:
Susan, your cogent comments become even more telling when the undynamic duo refuse to release alternative budgets or rely on flimsy excuses like the grass roots membership will decide policy options. We know from past underperforming conservative governments how life has improved in Canada, right? LOL
Intrepid: you make an excellent point. Given that Jean/Kenney and McIver argue they’re fiscally conservative while the NDP are spendthrifts, the public has the right to know how they’re going to deliver on their fiscally conservative agenda without gutting social services a la Klein. If the one man Alberta Party can produce a line by line shadow budget, you’d think the much larger WR and PC teams would be able to deliver one.
PS I loved the “undynamic duo” characterization.
Thank you Susan, for this. This article perfectly articulates concerns I have going into the next provincial election cycle. I’ve had a moratorium on sharing politically fueled articles via social media since last October, but this is the perfect piece to break through it.
Kelly, I fully understand why you stopped sharing politically fueled articles on social media…it’s not worth the vitriolic blow back. Recently I attended a nonprofit fundraiser where Don Braid and Sydney Sharpe were the keynote speakers. Braid said he uses Twitter to promote his columns but he doesn’t read it anymore because the tenor of the conversation is so negative it’s not worth it. He specifically called out people who justify their vicious attacks on politicians (usually females) by saying if they’re in the political arena they need to “toughen up” or get out. He said he’s followed the rough and tumble world of politics for decades and has never seen the kind of the abuse that’s being heaped on Rachel Notley and her team.
GoinFawr says:
THere is one type of ‘conservative’ animal wholly missed in your article: the currently elusive fiscal conservative.
Once common to the Great White North, this highly prized breed of pol has been one rare animal indeed since the Basel Committee formed in 1974 and made its immediately followed ‘recommendations’ that states borrow from private lenders rather than continue the overwhelming success of borrowing from the public one. Bloviating rhetoric aside, they are all but extinct these days. Some existing species, like the T.Mulcair, unsuccessfully still try to sing the same prudent song from time to time, but it seems that such sweet music now falls on deaf ears and mouse-like voters have lost the knack for caring whether or not their great great grandchildren will be performing forced labour to pay off the interest to private international banquing interests, preferring instead to elect handsome, well-groomed, neoliberal cats who continue to sell them and theirs down the river for generations to come.
Perhaps one day, with lots of science and a few DNA laden hairs of Tommy Douglas’, we will be able to reintroduce this species of ‘conservative’ pol and make the Great White North fiscally responsible once again.
Though I wouldn’t hold my breath or anything.
GoinFawr: you could be a political satirist! I hear echos of Hinterland’s Who’s Who https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwWHk8azaAc and Tommy Douglas’s Mouseland speech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqgOvzUeiAA. Douglas made that speech in the 1940s and it’s still relevant today, particularly his comment about the little mouse with an idea, they called him a bolsevik and threw him in jail. Sounds a lot like the WR and PC supporters who are convinced the NDP are socialists and communists. They say Bill 6 (farm safety) is the first step in the NDP’s grand scheme to get control of the farmers’ lands and the Gay-Straight Alliance bill (which allows kids to set up GSAs in schools) is proof the NDP want to indoctrinate the kids. Gawd!
I gave a run at the bases on that one Susan, thank you for the links.
And yes, I did imagine the Hinterland Who’s Who tune off the bat….
WAIT a moment, here; you linked the loon?!
“..proof the NDP want to indoctrinate the kids”
Somebody ought to tell the WR/’Conservative’ folk that Educate (Whatsoever is true) is actually the NDP’s mandate. Doing it without any immediate pay increases for the educators too! For now anyway, for what that is worth. Good for them. Thank you teachers!
It seems the ideologically challenged WR and Cons are cooperatively challenged too (go figure), and are now not becoming the audacious, the outrageous, the amaaaazing..?
WiROCons?
Conservatively Wild Rosebuds?
The Wildly Conservative Roses?
I am just goofing around, of course; I’m expecting an ‘exceedingly happy’ alliance straightforth
GoinFawr: wouldn’t you love to be a fly on the wall in the WR/PC unite-the-right negotiations? I’ll bet they’re worse than any of the deals I was involved in over my tenure as in-house counsel–and I worked on complex deals with global corporations and Chinese state-owned companies.
The key difference of course is that my deals were all about money where as the WR/PC deal is all about power and Kenney’s ongoing political credibility. I can’t wait to see what they come out with.
PS: I vote for the “Conservatively Wild Rosebuds” 🙂
don cockerton says:
hi Susan; Tx for another pithy and well written post! BTW have you heard anything yet re a follow up group to Alberta Electrical system consumer group? I have not. dc
You’re very welcome Don. With respect to the electrical system consumer group I haven’t heard anything further but will ask again.
Carlos Beca says:
Yes Susan you are absolutely right, Kenney and Jean care about the so called ‘Free Enterprise System’ which of course for them is a religion except that the God is the Corporation which is supposed to be beyond criticism. If only they took the time to see the devastation some of them cause around the world instead of just talking about how many people have been moved out of poverty.
I doubt that either Jean or Kenney have any ideology. The objective is power and turn Alberta into a free enterprise farm because they know that the main corps do not want to move to Alberta, that is below their class level. We know we have a problem when the Trumps think the White House is a dump.
Excellent points Carlos. The fact Kenney calls his Unite Alberta party the “free enterprise coalition” should ring warning bells all across Alberta but too many people still think government should be run like a business. They should look at the chaos Trump has created to see how “well” that works in practice. I’m stunned by the number of high level Republicans who subscribe to this “government is business” analogy. US Ambassador Nikki Haley was asked to comment on Trump firing Comey. She said “The president is the CEO of the country. He can hire and fire anyone he wants, that’s his right.” How wonderfully ironic that just a few days later the Justice Department appointed ex-FBI director Robert Meuller as special counsel to investigate the Russia connection and the White House couldn’t get over the fact they weren’t consulted. So much for the president’s CEO-like powers.
The other thing people who parrot this line forget is that CEOs, unlike dictators, are not appointed for life…they get fired all the time.
carlosbeca says:
Well I am sorry I am speechless
I could not agree more but you have to remember that they are special.
They are the new Inquisition of the Free Enterprise System
Well Susan ‘In the land of the blind, the one eyed person is King’
I truly believe that we are going through a Dark Age – many of us are politically blind because our Universities are graduating experts for jobs, the media is trying to control our minds and the politicians are eager to please whoever offers them the ‘good life’. Progressive well founded thought is apparently a waste of time. Why learning and researching if it does not matter. After all look at Trump – he has everything he wants including the power to cheat the law and get away with it and he is the President of the United States. The party backing him is 90% of the same kind. Nikki Haley is just one of them.
So who is right?
What do you tell your kids what they need to do to become good citizens?
I do not have any doubts but many people do, hence the crisis we have in our hands.
The outcome of all of this is a mystery, that is why I do not like to watch movies like ‘The Blade Runner’
lindamcfarlane says:
Thanks Susan. Excellent explanation.
Letter to Susan from a friend
Susan you have always been the very positive hopeful person I always aspired to be. I confess you were right 🙂
Our Status Quo politicians finally did it. The United Cult of Free Enterprisers is just around the corner. You have no idea how I feel – after 43 years of a minor version of the same party that left us with a 10 billion dollar deficit and 2 horrifying years of that socialism that came from Russia in the last century, catastrophic of course, we have free enterprise. I cannot believe this is finally happening.
Things like ‘The Members will always be in the driver’s seat’ – wow can you imagine the change this will bring to all of us.
Another ‘It’s about recreating a broad, tolerant, free-enterprise coalition’ – wow this one, after 40 years of such oppressive system blew my mind.
The one that impressed me the most ‘to gain control of our province now and for future generations”. I kept wondering wow maybe they will cut even the elections and we will have freedom forever. What a concept. Truly revolutionary.
Both founders, very accomplished men in our province, agree that it is simple – they are going to scrap the carbon tax and reduce taxes. Considering that their minor version left us with a 10 billion shortfall I had to do some very basic math and figure out this absolute amazing math. Even after taking Calculus in University I just had to be more focused. I think that they will have to eliminate public Education or Health. What do you think? I would love to know how excited you must be
Most Albertans will get sucked into this – because those who enjoyed “the good jobs” and “the big bucks” and all the shiny (muddy) toys and big houses that oil patch “careers” provided got a swift kick in the ass by Iran – NOT the NDP.
And since that kick in the ass, the real world has finally decided that expanding tar pits (destroying the environment, depleting wildlife habitat, poisoning drinking water, killing off fish and wildlife) – is all worth it for the twin $11,000 quads, the $560,000 house, the $120,000 truck/toy hauler and the $200,000 toy) is to be swiftly and economically viably replaced by so-called “alternative” – actually the original and most sensible energy sources – wind and sun. It’s going to be (and has been ) tough on the Calgary-based petrochemical and carbon-based energy extractors head offices and executives as well as the patch guys and girls.
And many will turn to the Corporatist worship formula – fuck common sense, the environment, heath care, education, equality, – let’s get back to the 1970’s and “Reganomics” – the “trickle-down” crap, the lies, deceits, falsehoods and usury of credit corporations, luring Albertan conservatives back into the “good times” and its burdens of indentured servitude credit card and loan debt and the bullshit that it will last forever, this time – just like with King Ralph, remember?
Wise up, Alberta – conservatism will do nothing but continue to expand socioeconomic gaps, lull you into a “good times” mythical fantasy land and destroy your children’s future. So that “they” can be in control. Anybody here support Donald Trump? Well, elect these psychos and you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
A commentary on political, social and cultural issues—what else would you expect from a lawyer with a degree in anthropology?

“I could tell the minute she saw who I really was, she never wanted to look at me again. Which is why I never told her.”
Woof, lots to chew on in this episode. Anna Draper is dying (unbeknownst to her), Don’s last living positive link to Dick Whitman. In his vulnerable state, Don lets Lane see a glimpse of who he really is, even though it’s Sad Sack Drunk Don.

Visiting with Anna is the only time we see Don truly relaxed. He actually enjoys human connection with her in a way we don’t really see otherwise. And hearing the awful news from her niece Stephanie (and then seeing him revert to Don Draper mode by taking charge with Anna’s sister), it’s just fucking devastating.
It’s enormously hard to see him struggling over whether to tell Anna the truth, given that he knows just how much a truth bomb can blow it all to hell. Maybe Don was afraid it would snuff out the most dear relationship he has at this point, as his truth-telling ended his life with Betty.. or that maybe he believed that not knowing the truth would be a gift to her somehow, letting her enjoy her short time left in blissful ignorance. Anna is the only person in his life to love him unconditionally.
“Well, I saw something once, and I’m telling you.. it knocked me sideways. I started thinking of everything I was sure was true, and how flimsy it all might be.”
“You don’t need to see a UFO to know that.. that’s not a great way to think about things.”
On the other side of the coin, I don’t know if Anna would have loved the ‘real’ New York Don Draper. She also didn’t have to deal with the consequences of Dick Whitman’s lies for a decade, the way Betty had to. Anna has never seen that side of him.
Looks like Don is still trying to convince himself that the reason Betty cast him aside was his destitute upbringing, which ain’t the real root of the issue. Instead, he chooses to block out the reality that his lies had an emotional impact upon Betty for such a long time that at the end of it, she was legit yelling about how she had tried so hard to understand him and couldn’t, due to the way he entirely shut himself off from her. Oof. Don can’t take responsibility because he’s looking at things all wrong.
At the office, things are thankfully a little more normal. Allison appears a touch woeful about her New Years plans (going out with big group of girls) in contrast to Joan asking Peggy’s plans, seeming envious of the potential freedom of going out with ladies and having a blast.
And hey, how much longer before Joan dumps that absolute dickbag of a husband? It’s such shit to see the incredibly capable Joan in a relationship with a self-involved manbaby who treats her like an infant. She wouldn’t put up with that at work– look how she put Lane in his place re:flower fuckup. Watching her weep as Greg stitches her up, knowing it’s all a disaster and this dude doesn’t know a damn thing about her.. rough.
Coming into the office on New Year’s Day, Don is surprised to see Lane; they were both supposed to be on vacation, after all. These guys bond in the best way possible; getting loaded and heading to the movies to see some explosions with Gamera. That scene is a real treat with Lane shouting at some uptight lady in pidgin Japanese, surrounded by handjobs galore.. aces.
Lane and Don’s friendship is born in rather dire sad sack circumstances. They’re pretty different guys. Don is this confident suave guy who’s (supposedly) got it all figured out, and Lane is trying to find his place in the world, trying to stand out and not just be complacent and do what’s expected of him all the damn time.
“You remind me of a chap I knew in school. We followed him around in a pack, and he didn’t notice we were there.. He died in a motorcycle crash.”
Lane admires Don and wants to be liked by him, or even to be more like him. And Don is so lonely at this point in his life that he wants to be liked by literally anyone in that same dark headspace to understand him.
At drunk man steakhouse dinner, Lane opens up that his marriage is on the rocks; shit sounds dire, and that bouquet of roses cockup didn’t help. Having learned from the nuclear disaster of giving Roger advice, Don holds back — Lane feels he should make some grand sweeping gesture, seeking Don’s approval. Instead, he paraphrases something Faye said to him during the SCDP Christmas party that clearly resonated.
“Is that what you want? Or is that what people expect of you?”
Pausing and staring at Don levelly, this is a thought that has never occurred to Lane. And this ain’t the first time we’ve seen Don internalise advice or an observation and pass it off as his own; in Season 1’s Nixon vs. Kennedy, Don responds to Pete’s hilarious blackmail attempt with “You haven’t thought this through”.. which is exactly what Rachel Menken countered with when he suggested that they run off and start a new life together. Like all of us, certain shit sticks with him and rattles around in his brain.
Aaaand, enter the high class hookers.
I think a crucial point in Don’s success as a married hot guy and his failure as a divorced guy is pretty plain; a married man offers nothing but a dick-go-round because he’s attached, while a single (even divorced) man could be a potential future husband and — as Freddie Rumsen reminded us — it’s not always wise to bang it out with a man if you intend to marry him. Women treat the no-future man a lot differently than they treat the maybe-future man. So, it’s not wholly shocking that Don keeps striking out; his status implies a different set of possibilities than it used to. He’s got an asterisk. When Stephanie asks him if he’s married or divorced, he wonders why he can’t just say he’s single and be done with it.
But generally, Don is struggling. It’s borderline uncomfortable seeing him make moves on women that appear uninterested. While he may have been on top of his banging around game the past 3 seasons, his perf family helped establish that part of him. He seems uncomfortable with being divorced, almost as if he’d rather be married and fucking around than single and searching.
“But nobody knows what’s wrong with themselves.. and everyone else can see it right away.”

Mad Men s4e2: Christmas Comes but Once a Year
01.27.2017 01.26.2017 / vm / Leave a comment
“In a nutshell, it all comes down to what I want versus what’s expected of me.”
Just about sums up life, eh? Let’s see how much of a piping hot mess Don is in this episode..
Sally runs into creeper Glen at the Christmas tree lot. Hating living in the house on Bullet Park Road without her dad there, she expresses how strange everything is; Glen can relate. He takes it into his own hands when the Francises are all out one night, trashing the house with food and junk.. save for Sally’s room, where he leaves a friendship keychain similar to the one she complimented him on at the lot. He tries to make the house as uncomfortable for everyone as it is for Sally.
At the office, enter Dr. Faye Miller, one of the psychologists SCDP is using for market research. In an intro with a personality test for the senior staff, Don dodges another opportunity to divulge any sort of information about himself.
A man allergic to intimacy, it’s clear that Don’s in a darker place than his usual existential loneliness.. and this is his first real Christmas sans family to boot. He ain’t handling it well; he’s hitting everything too hard. Women whom he would otherwise effortlessly charm are rebuffing his sloppy advances with ease and a touch of pity. Score one for Faye and neighbour Phoebe, I guess.
Allison reads out Sally’s letter to Santa (c/o Don Draper), and it’s a heartbreaking reminder of the damage the divorce has caused. She tears up at Sally’s wish to have Don there on Christmas morning, knowing that it’s not a possibility.

The vile Lee Garner Jr is in town, and is miffed he wasn’t invited to the SCDP Christmas party.. which now has to become an actual party much to Lane’s dismay. Faye and Don spar about how someone’s past can influence them today, a point with which Don disagrees. She aptly brings up that his celebrated Glo-Coat commercial is heavily steeped in nostalgia, a certain longing for someone’s childhood.. but not Don’s. He tries to change the conversation by asking her to dinner, and gets shot down.
Natch, he forgets his keys at the office, and Allison does him a favour by running down to the Village to let him in. It’s noteworthy that younger employees have always gossiped about Don, but it was always in the admiring from afar sense, with some sense of wonder; mimbo Joey calling him ‘pathetic’ sheds light on how trash Don is at this point in time. And I guess in an effort to feel something (or anything at all), Don comes on to Allison; she reciprocates and they have a bang on his couch. Awkward.
The next morning is nothing short of a disaster with how Don handles (and not handles) things. He goes to his rhetoric of “this never happened”, so much so that he doesn’t acknowledge anything in the least, and gives Allison her Christmas bonus of a hundy in cash. You can tell he doesn’t feel great about it as she walks out of his office, but not guilty enough to not be a prick. And plus.. you shouldn’t shit where you eat.
So Freddy Rumsen is back, and he’s dry as a bone– but Peggy is thrilled to see him and to work on Pond’s. Freddy has some comically oldschool ideas for the cold cream, whereas formerly oldschool Pegs has moved forward quite a bit. He’s focusing on the marriage aspect of Pond’s, but Peggy wants something more, something deeper that speaks to women.. women like her whose be-all end-all isn’t getting fucking married. She wants to make an ad that speaks to everyone!

BUT, even though her life in the office is super forward thinking and progressive she’s being weirdly old fashioned with her boyfriend Mark. Apparently they aren’t banging because she’s playing virgin.. yikes. Last I checked, she ain’t been no virgin since 1960.. maybe she’s just not so sure about the guy?
Why is Peggy dating this dolt anyway? Freddy peppers her with some absurdly old fashioned advice, firmly saying that she shouldn’t bang the guy if she wants to marry him, since he’ll never respect her.. Y I K E S.
I guess that cemented her opinion of Mark, cause she throws him a bone that night.
Maybe Allison is that gal looking to get hitched, and thought there was something deeper to her tryst with her boss.. as she stares off into space while typing, it’s hard not to feel her pain and humiliation. So uncomfortable. Don may have fucked it up with his best and most competent secretary yet.
“I don’t hate Christmas.. I hate this Christmas.”
Mad Men s4e1: Public Relations
01.24.2017 01.24.2017 / vm / 1 Comment
“I can use my expense account if I say they’re whores!”
Welcome back, and welcome to 1964! It’s nearly a calendar year from where the Season 3 finale left us, and Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce has an actual office that isn’t a hotel suite; they’ve got some cool new digs in the cushy Time Life building. Maaaaagic.
“Who is Don Draper?”
Bombing out in an interview with Advertising Age, Don supplies glib bullshit answers to the reporter’s pointed questions about his work and who he is, pretty much saying fuckall. Shocker. The problem with this approach is that he’s no longer just that stupid talented mysterious guy in the corner office, he has to be the fucking face of SCDP; a creative figurehead, the man behind the curtain. And we all know how much Don loves talking about himself.

But hey, Don is in a great place professionally; he’s legit blowing up. He’s calling the shots and running things his way, making a lot of money, and he’s got acclaim for the Glo-Coat commercial.. all the while his personal life is a raging tire fire, burning into the eternal night. Seems like Don is at his best in the office when shit at home is a mess.
no time for your shit. || image courtesy of Tumblr
His attitude in meetings is more aloof than ever, while being incredibly sharp; the way he shuts down those Jantzen prudes is outta control, he’s got precisely no time for garbage at this new agency. This guy is forward thinking and takes risks, and he’s lost everything he ever (thought) he wanted in his personal life.
Our characters are exploring new terrain all over this episode, slowly adjusting to the new normal. Betty now has a mother-in-law (a hard-ass woman at that) and an extended family; she’s also got a more attentive husband and is learning how to be a person sans Don. She’s overly harsh on Sally during Thanksgiving dinner, still not quite sure how to navigate that relationship.
Understandable growing pains and lots of negative shit are to be expected, but Hank Frank takes it all in logical stride; he really loves that difficult woman. They even have a bang in the car, harkening back to their first kiss in Betty’s car. YEAHHHHHH
Going on a date with the poor man’s Betty, Don is vaguely bemused with Bethany. Brass tacks, homegirl is an idiot, but she’s young so I guess she gets a pass? Maybe? Ah well. Roger and (mostly) Jane seem determined to set him up with someone, just because.
Dating doesn’t seem to suit Don at all. Skipping out on Thanksgiving at Roger and Jane’s and no plans with the family, Don’s plans include being mounted and slapped in the face by a hooker. Looks like he bones this lady on the reg, indulging his own self-loathing with a healthy dash of mommy issues.
His personal life really seems a lonely mess, and he’s boozin’ a lot, even for him. When Peggy needs bail cash for the ladies she and Pete paid off to fight over a ham, Don takes it all out on her unsuspecting bland boyfriend Mark, whom she brought to lessen the inevitable blow.
Joan has her own office, and is still the consistent go-to for everything. Glad she’s getting some recognition as the person who steers the ship, though she shouldn’t be getting sunburned tit Harry Crane a coffee. And it’s nice to see Peggy argue right back with Don when the Sugarberry Hams stunt goes south, her confidence is awesome to see. Roger is back in the saddle and full of beans, Pete is more secure in his footing.. everyone seems to be moving forward at a pretty brisk clip working together, conference table or no. Even Allison is back!
However, Don’s shite interview in Advertising Age has real consequences for the firm; being in such a small space equals his actions have actual meaning, something that is clearly not a thing to Don. Ya fucked it up. He takes it out on the straightlaced Jantzen guys by blowing up their meeting, and immediately rings Cooper’s guy at the Wall Street Journal to have a redo of that interview. Taking that feeling by the balls, he is cocksure and rewrites history ever so slightly to sound fucking awesome to this guy. Way better.
So, what’s it going to be? Comfortable and dead, or risky and possibly rich? Sounds like a mantra to me, looking at how Don has evolved. SCDP sure seems intensely personal to him, especially for a man who won’t reveal a damn thing about himself. Let’s see what happens!
“You know something? We are all here because of you. All we want to do is please you.”
The Movies of 2016: Some Sort of List
Hello hello! I am back in LA after a cold jaunt to New Jersey for my annual xxxmas pilgrimage. Believe it or not, another year has gone by, and I saw a ton of fucking movies. Here’s my favourites, the ones I thought were sort of “eh”, and the absolute piping hot messes of 2016.
Spoilers ahoy, so no bitching.
In no particular order..
THE GOOD;
Nocturnal Animals. This movie is absolutely HAUNTING, my god. Jake Gyllenhaal, Amy Adams and Michael Shannon deliver incredible performances in Tom Ford’s second foray into film, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I saw it a couple of months back. There’s this uneasy tension throughout that winds tighter and tighter and tighter.. it’s a movie I won’t ever forget, it’s so intense and bonkers. Just, wow. See it. And if you haven’t seen A Single Man, see that too.
La La Land. Oh my god, this movie is so fucking charming. It filled a void and a yearning I didn’t even know I had, it was just the right movie to close out the shit year of 2016. Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are wonderful together, the music is super fun, and that montage at the end is nothing short of imaginative and wonderful. The perils of ambition and dizzying love colliding with the truths of reality, it’s all good good great. This movie is lovely.
Captain America: Civil War. I dig most of the Marvel movies, and I never tire of Chris Evans’ Cap. I dig the way this movie is structured, and Tony Stark with a bonus Spider-Man and Ant Man are never bad.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. I was feeling lukewarm about this movie until I saw it; I actually saw it the day Carrie Fisher died, and the theatre was absolutely rammed and filled with this understandably sad energy. That first act is a damned disaster, but the rest of the movie is solid.. though I really want to see the original cut pre-reshoots. Not sure what the point of Forest Whitaker’s character was.. and CGI Tarkin was pretty unsettling. Should’ve just gone with actors and makeup/a little enhancement rather than full on creepy BFG CGI.
Moonlight. This movie is fantastically written, well acted, and a complete triumph of storytelling. See this movie.
Arrival. Emotional science fiction? Yes please. Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner are great, the story is mesmerising, and the ‘twist’ is really fucking well done.
Dr. Strange. Enjoyable! Benedict Cumberbatch’s American accent needs some work, but I really dug this movie a lot more than I thought I would. I mainly like that this is a character Stan Lee invented to shut the hippies up. He’s got a dope cape, and uses the power of being an infuriating dick paired with a time loop to save the day. Prettay, prettay.. prettay good.
Everybody Wants Some! I love Linklater (except for Boyhood..), Dazed and Confused is one of my faves. This flick is just the right dose of nontoxic masculinity and fun rowdy dude shit set over the course of the first weekend at a Texas college. Linklater excels at capturing the feeling and energy of a particular time in your life, it’s totally magic.
Sing Street. This soundtrack hasn’t left my regular rotation since this movie came out, oh my god. It’s an absolutely delightful movie! Positive and hopeful amidst the backdrop of early 1980s Ireland which was anything but. Sing Street is the type of movie you didn’t know you needed until you see it. Watch it right the fuck now, it’s on Netflix.
High Rise. I’ve never been so intensely attracted to Tom Hiddleston until I saw this movie. High Rise is a surreal, expertly stylised, darkly funny, dystopian jaunt that I’m still thinking about. It’s intense.
Complete Unknown. Michael Shannon again! This movie is slow and subtle, a woman shapeshifting and running from her life and coming back to the man she once loved. Equal parts fascinating and gripping, but very true to life. They have a lost night together in New York City, as he tries to change his life while she wants to stop changing hers.
The Nice Guys. Shane Black can do no wrong in my book, I’m a huge fan of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Iron Man 3. Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe are great together as washed up PIs in 1970s Los Angeles.. this movie is a whole lot of fun, a cool take on noir like his other flicks. So well written.
Cafe Society. I never thought I’d see Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart fall in love in a movie (ah fuck, forgot about Adventureland), but here we are. I love the world this movie creates; it’s vintage gorgeous and feels real, along with their ~romance~. And hey, Steve Carell is a complete delight. Well worth watching.
Star Trek Beyond. This movie is such a fucking joy to watch! It feels like Trek, the action and story are on point, and you really align with the characters. I watched this again the other night and was completely charmed.
Midnight Special. Man, remember when we all thought that Tomorrowland was going to be the second coming of Christ? And it turned out to be a wet fart? Whole lotta big ideas that turned into nothing. Well, Midnight Special is the right kind of sci-fi for me; it’s serious, striking, and grips you with wonder. Michael Shannon gives a stellar performance amidst a sea of fanatical cultists dressed in the earth’s dumpiest dresses made of couch fabric.
OJ: Made in America. Holy shit, you guys.. this nearly 8-hour long documentary was on ESPN over the summer and it’s INCREDIBLE. I was 10 when the OJ Simpson trial was going on, and besides being both a literal child and someone who knows fuckall about sports, it was fascinating and horrifying to see what a beloved figure OJ once was, and the darkness.. the cultural background for the fever pitch of race relations in 1990s Los Angeles, all these pieces coming into play.. truly fascinating and shattering, heartbreakingly sad. Check this one out.
Elvis & Nixon. I never knew I needed Michael Shannon as 1970s Elvis before, and once I saw this flick, frankly I don’t know how I survived without it. Spacey plays a great Nixon, too. Well worth a spin.
THE BLAND;
War Dogs. This movie was incorrectly billed as a comedy. Overall it was pretty fucking dark and enjoyable, but also sort of unpleasant. Todd Phillips has a knack for writing these man friend BRAH characters with a whole lotta mean streak coursing through their veins. Jonah Hill and Miles Teller have real chemistry as bros, even if the latter distractingly resembles a boiled potato. *[editor’s note; my dear husband thinks that comparing Teller’s face to a potato is “harsh”, but I implore you to locate the lie.]
Hail, Caesar! I adore the Coen Bros, but this movie felt like it was missing something. The cast is fantastic, the look and feel of everything is incredible, Brolin’s Mannix is fucking magical, we got Alden Ehrenreich’s delightful Aw Shucks character, but the story was .. not great? It seems like it’s going to take a bizarre, surreal left turn when Clooney’s Whitlock is kidnapped by a group claiming to be ~The Future~.. but it’s just a group of Commies. I’ll have to give it another whirl.
10 Cloverfield Lane. John Goodman is fucking incredible in this movie, but it didn’t really hit the mark for me overall. I don’t know. Maybe it’s good?
Keanu. Man, there’s a really tiny kitten in this movie. Most of it is pretty funny, but a lot of the humour fell flat for me. Eh.
Independence Day: Resurgence. This shit heap of a “movie” is only on the Bland list because of the presence of Jeff Goldblum. There’s SO MUCH fucking wrong with this flick.. AND THEY HAD 20 GODDAMNED YEARS TO GET IT RIGHT. Now. I adore the original ID4, it’s one of my favourite movies in life. This trash sequel from hell has an overabundance of dull undeveloped characters, a blatant franchise setup, Judd Hirsch riding out the apocalypse in a goddamned tugboat.. and they did Vivica Fox real dirty by killing her almost immediately. No. It does, however, have Bill Pullman as a complete crazy person which was sorta cool, and he Randy Quaids it to save humanity all over again. It’s the worst kind of bad movie; there’s so much going on that it actually manages to be fucking boring.
Central Intelligence. I love The Rock and Kevin Hart together, but this movie didn’t really land. It was close! Got some laughs.
Ghostbusters (Ladybusters). I waffled on this flick. Hated the trailer, liked it when I saw it, and have not thought of it once since. Meh.
Why Him? About 80% of this movie works, I’ll be honest; it’s just not entirely all there. Bryan Cranston is fantastic against James Franco, but there was a toilet gag that went on for too long, shit like that.. some of it was a little on the dumb side. I saw this movie at a test screening on the Fox Lot months back, so I’m sure some things were tweaked for the final release.
Snowden. Well, that was a movie.. I think I don’t like Oliver Stone.
THE CONFUSINGLY HORRENDOUS;
Girl On The Train. Man, this book sucked. It was so predictable and boring. I was hoping the movie would be better and a little Gone Girl-esque, but it was ultimately forgettable and tedious. It did make me crave a dirty martini or 10 from the Grand Central Oyster Bar, though.
Sausage Party. This movie tried so fucking hard to be ~edgy~ and Rated R. Granted I’m not the biggest fan of Seth Rogen’s brand of stoner humour, but I’d heard a ton of positive stuff about this flick so I checked it out. Though the beginning is promising and creative, and there are flickers of actual funny gags, this movie was bogged down with SO MUCH SHIT that seemed to exist purely for shock value alone. It was mind-boggling. And that massive food orgy at the end? WHY did that even need to exist? What the fuck?? Maybe I’m an old person, but what the FUCK??
Anomalisa. I found this movie so fucking repellant I dedicated a whole blog post to yelling about it. Apparently this is such an uncommon opinion for this flick that it’s one of my most read and Googled posts.. so I’ve got that going for me, I guess. Seriously! I get a couple of hits on that post per week for the past YEAR. Goddamn.
X-Men: Apocalypse. What a fucking dumpster fire this thing was, my god. I absolutely loved Days of Future Past, so I had high hopes for this flick.. NOPE. It was at least 7 kinds of dumb, the worst kind of camp, and Oscar Isaac’s Apocalypse character touching a television and crooning “LEAAAAARRRNINGGG” was so fucking hokey I laughed out loud for about a minute. What a complete disaster.. not even James McAvoy and flawfree Fassbender could save this mess.
Jason Bourne. I adore the Bourne movies (not that Jeremy Renner garbage filler flick), and this movie was super disappointing. It was not good. Lots of noise, killing off Julia Stiles WAY too soon, and it’s overall super forgettable. Honest to god I don’t even fucking know what happened in this movie.
Now You See Me 2. What the fuck? Why is this a movie? The first Now You See Me was one of those extraordinary movies where it all just clicked; it’s an outrageous fun romp that bends reality and is all over the map, and though everything about it conspires to make it a fucking mess, it just works. This sequel absolutely and completely sucks, save for Mark Ruffalo fighting some rando using actual magic.. which was awesome.
The Lobster. Everyone has such a huge monster dong boner for this movie, and I absolutely loathed it. The concept is enchanting for the first half of the movie, and made me want to know more of why this world of Relationships Only existed; the hell is that about? Why is this happening? What’s the machine that turns people into animals? Is the rest of the world like this, or only Ireland? The second half of the movie is sad, drab, dull and overall.. no. The tone is so flighty, I couldn’t tell if it was supposed to be taking itself seriously as a movie, or if it was a dark comedy, or what.. ugh. I also can’t see Colin Farrell without thinking of him cockslapping that lady in his sex tape and talking dirty WAY too much. So, at least that’s sort of depraved and delightful.
And there you have it! 2016 had some really great flicks for sure. I’ve still got a few movies to see.. but nobody can pay me enough cash to give an iota of a shit about Casey Affleck.
Here’s to 2017!

Labor’s “brave” review fails to upstage Morrison’s incompetence.
Written by: David Tyler
Were politics reset in keeping with the times, the parties would concede that it is not a contest between social democracy and a capitalist free-for-all, or “the light on the hill” and “the forgotten people”, or even conservatives and progressives, but one in which the ghosts of organisations that once had some claim to represent these passions compete to prove themselves the superior financial managers. Don Watson
Attack of the Labor Zombies:“Review of Labor’s 2019 Election Campaign”, the ritual killing of Bill Shorten by hungry ghosts, premiers nationally, this week, six months after Bill’s political death, a fate which the commentariat is still finalising for him despite his promising to “hang around” for another twenty years.
Karen Middleton scoffs at Shorten’s pledge. “He’ll be in his seventies”, she sighs, on ABC Insiders Sunday. Bill will be 72. Four years younger than Joe Biden. Elizabeth Warren’s 70. Billy Hughes served for 51 years; died at 90 before he could get around to thinking about retiring. But it’s not about age.
It’s … the chutzpah. “He’s got to win all those elections.” Shorten won almost a five per cent (4.99%) swing to Labor in his Victorian seat of Maribyrnong, last election. Next, he’s at fault for making his twenty-year pledge before the review comes out to help others decide his future for him.
How very dare he get in first?
MSM is consumed by the review; the review of the review and any excuse at all to kick Bill Shorten.
Kill Bill has become a national sport since Tony Abbott contrived to make “Bill Shorten” a pejorative term, a project taken up shamelessly by Malcolm Turnbull and with glee by bully Morrison.
Interviews with Morrison normalise his bullying, as Dr Jennifer Wilson argues, in analysis of the PM’s manic scattergun barrage of bullshit to cover his running away from the question guerrilla tactics.
Julia Banks quit parliament after only a term because of the level of bullying during the leadership spill.
What’s even more alarming is the subtext that Morrison, miraculously, got everything right. Scapegoats help with that. It’s a by-product of reducing party politics to the popularity of the leader, part of our brave new age of populist personality politics where policy and reasoned argument count less than spin and image. And Morrison’s fevered hyper-partisanship makes Tony Abbott look like a peace-maker.
Albo offers to accompany Morrison to NSW bushfire areas, he tells Fran Kelly, Sunday. His offer is brushed aside. Something about not getting in the way of “the rescue effort”. Later media images show Morrison, alone, comforting victims, as he did with his drought series of visits, grandstanding on grief.
But Labor doesn’t seem to have got the memo that there’s a war on. Blending psychic surgery with forensic post-mortem, Labor eviscerates itself for a ritual cleansing. Bares its soul. And then some. The Review … is an unparalleled, almost naive act of faith. No wonder it gets everyone’s attention.
But why? Is this orgy of over-sharing prompted by some rush of utopian socialism which only true believers can call into being? Or is it folly? It’s unique, says ABC’s Laura Tingle, her take on “brave”.
“That’s very brave of you, minister. An extremely courageous decision,” as Mr Appleby would say.
Yet Labor’s purpose, beside officially defining what went wrong, is to draw a line under its defeat.
Fat chance. Just because closure is a tabloid TV victim’s top buzz-word doesn’t make it achievable. Somehow, there’s something for everybody because, you know, Labor lost. By Sunday’s ABC Insiders, a narrow loss morphs into a rout. Labor can’t even pass its own post-mortem exam, Fran Kelly implies.
It’s not easy. Former Keating speech-writer, Don Watson, notes that Labor’s changing constituency increasingly includes service-sector employees, lower-level managers and healthcare workers, as the middle class itself is changing. Labor’s review even detects an influx of woke, affluent, graduates in Southern states, whom, it contends can afford the luxury of idealism. It’s a dangerous hypothesis.
“Since university graduates, on average, earn higher incomes and have more secure jobs than those without tertiary qualifications, they are more readily able to think about issues such as climate change, refugees, marriage equality and the rights of the LGBTQI+ community.”
But a few rich grads didn’t win Labor any seats, Emerson and Wetherill are quick to note. And if your idealism or concern for justice and the survival of the planet is in proportion to your wealth, heaven help the rest of us. Paul Keating reckons Labor lost because it failed to understand the “new middle-class”.
New? Watson sees a class with no ideology nor even consciousness of itself as a class. Being new it has “no roots beyond its self-interest”. He hopes Morrison hasn’t already press-ganged it into Quiet Australians, another bogus, Silent Majority.
But who needs analysis? Nuance is banished from our national conversation. Labor’s review simply has to make Bill the villain. You can’t trust Bill Shorten. It’s the old Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison melodrama.
News Corp prefers a shifty, shorthand, “dud leader, dud policies, dud strategy”, summation which bears no resemblance to the subtler findings published by Dr Craig Emerson and Jay Weatherill who chair Labor’s inquiry. But given Murdoch’s stranglehold over our media, it will soon become gospel truth.
Paul Kelly, The Australian’s editor at large, wilfully misrepresents the report. Eagerly, he invents a turf war. Two Labor constituencies are at war with each other. Father Kelly fears for Labor – a fear which Fran Kelly and others put to Albo. How can Labor possibly bridge the gap between blue-collar and gown?
“The Labor Party now resembles two rival constituencies fighting each other — their origins embedded in the party’s past and its future — a conflict that extinguished Labor’s hopes at the May election and a chasm that nobody knows how to bridge,” Kelly fantasises. But it’s never had any trouble in the past.
Rupert’s troupers can’t labour Labor’s factionalism enough. It diverts from Coalition disunity. All is not well, for example, in Cockies’ Corner. Nationals Deputy Leader and Minister for Agriculture, Bridget McKenzie, “couldn’t organise a piss-up in a brewery” one MP tells ABC’s, Lucy Barbour.
McKenzie is under pressure to perform; step up to the plate or step aside. Pauline Hanson’s taken all the credit for saving the dairy farmers and the PM seems to own drought the relief compassion show.
Barnaby Joyce is still agitating for promotion despite spending $675,000 for only three weeks in the field and not providing any reports as special drought envoy. But as media keep the focus on Shorten’s failure and the myth of Labor’s imminent descent into civil war, the Morrison miracle spin gets a further tweak.
(By the magic of implication, the current struggle between Nats and Libs – witness the spat over who owns the theatre of drought relief, or the Liberals capture by climate change denialists – means the Coalition with its three Prime Ministers in six years, rivals The Mormon Tabernacle Choir for harmony.)
Not the Puritan Choir, that’s another, evangelical, faction led by Mr Probity, Stuart Robert, architect of the Turnbull assassination plot. But all is forgiven. He’s repaid $37,975, only $8000 shy of what he had previously claimed as ‘residential internet expenses’. Streaming Christian TV from home is not cheap.
Be fair. Stu’s wife, Peoples’ Pastor Chantelle, can’t run her Pentecostal online evangelism without a decent broadband connection. Robert also says he’s returned a brace of gold Rolex watches, he and his wife – and other Coalition MPs received in 2013 from Chinese instant noodle billionaire Li Ruipeng.
Robert, Abbott and Macfarlane thought the $250,000 worth of watches were fakes, they say. As you do, whenever any oligarch tenders a token of his esteem in expectation of a return favour. Or perhaps not.
Or perhaps you do – if you’re an Australian MP seeking favour. Robert resigned from Turnbull’s ministry when he breached the Ministerial Code of Conduct on a business trip to China for Nimrod resources in which he somehow gave his Chinese hosts the false impression he was in China in an official capacity.
In 2017, Robert’s eighty-year-old father, Alan, discovers that he is a director of one of his son’s companies and that his son has used his Dad’s address on one of his businesses. Without telling him. The private company in question is doing rather well in winning government contracts, until then.
You won’t catch Robert or Morrison holding any public review. It’s against their religion. Look at the trouble Morrison’s mentor Brian Houston is having just complying with NSW police investigation. He’s refusing to answer questions about his father’s child abuse. The tactic seems to be working perfectly.
Frugal with the truth, lest Satan strike you whilst your guard is down, God’s hot-eyed warriors know when to keep stumm. Just as they know that God put coal underground for our blessing and just as they are happy to burn for mining while awaiting the rapture, believing they will be saved by their faith.
Thou shalt not fear fossil fuels preaches Pentecostal Pastor PD King in The Christian Post.
Yet Robert’s god-botherers and coal warriors are not symptoms of deep division in the Coalition. Nor are Tim Wilson, Dave Sharma, Jason Falinski, Katie Allen, Angie Bell and Trent Zimmerman who sign on to parliamentary friends of climate action, “a safe place away from partisan politics”, which has Greens, Labor and cross-bench supporters, only to snub their very first meeting 14 October.
But not all MSM scribes are bluffed. Do what Father Morrison does: walk both sides of the chasm at the same time. Granted, “Shut up and eat your peas, dad is talking” is Morrison’s leadership style, as The Guardian Australia’s Katharine Murphy astutely discerns, but don’t let a paternal despot pull the wool.
“… look at Morrison, who manages to walk every side of every street simultaneously and talk out of both sides of his mouth and suffer no apparent penalty.”
Murphy’s amused by Morrison’s hypocrisy in his illiberal lecture to the mining mafia last Friday week in which he threatens yet another new clampdown, (number 84 and counting) on the civil liberties of illiberal protesters who are exercising their right to boycott businesses who collude with coal-miners to extinguish the planet. She believes he just says this sort of stuff for effect and hopes nobody notices.
Also hypocritical is Morrison’s message that he’ll do everything for coal. Only a few days earlier, he makes a billion-dollar grant to the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC). Abbott tried to close down the CEFC along with the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), a move Turnbull reversed.
Morrison’s CEFC grant will help fund new transmission infrastructure to help clean energy access more of the national grid. Next, he agrees to help underwrite the main NSW-Queensland interconnector.
Murphy rightly asks why Morrison is able to shape-shift every day of the week but Labor is excoriated for selling out when it tries to straddle two constituencies. Worse, it must get a real leader, like ScoMo, the actor playing the daggy suburban Pentecostal dad with the Stepford wife, a man we can all identify with.
Shorten’s unpopularity has more to do with his crucifixion by News Corp and its lackeys including, sadly our ABC, than any political reality. Labor’s review concedes, however, that damage has been done.
Labor’s review sums up Labor’s loss as a combination “of a weak strategy that could not adapt to the change in Liberal leadership, a cluttered policy agenda that looked risky and an unpopular leader” – a verdict, writes ANU’s Frank Bongiorno “which belies the sophistication of the report as whole”.
But everyone in the gallery – from Michelle Grattan to Mark Latham – gets to twist the knife. It’s a massive pile-on; way more popular, than Melbourne’s Spring Carnival. Bagging Labor’s failings easily upstages the Melbourne Cup, the race that barely slows the nation, our increasingly anaemic, ritual national blood-sport. Besides schadenfreude is surely part of our tall poppy syndrome.
But like the curious incident of the dog in the night time, nowhere is there mention of News Corp.
“The Murdoch media didn’t merely favour the government over the opposition. It campaigned vigorously for the return of the Coalition. And it is a vast empire, with a monopoly through much of regional Queensland, for instance. It is hard not to see in the review’s silence on this matter a clearing of the way for a future kissing of the ring of the familiar kind.” Frank Bongiorno writes.
Everyone wants to wag the finger; tell Labor where it went wrong and by implication how Morrison’s miracle campaign was so inspired – when in reality it was almost totally negative; long on disinformation and attacking Shorten’s character – including the Daily Telegraph’s attack on his mother’s integrity.
A review of the Coalition campaign? Nasty, brutish and short on policy beyond the promise of tax cuts. The $1080 tax cut may have bought a few votes but it is proving a total failure as a fiscal stimulus.
The retail sector is in its third year of per capita recession. While Frydenberg and Morrison seek to explain it away by online sales, as Alan Austin notes, the ABS figures include online sales.
“Retail sales for the September quarter came to $82.6 billion, up just 2.48% on the same quarter a year ago. With inflation at 1.7% and population rising 1.6%, that is a decline in real terms relative to population. So the sector is now in its third year of per capita recession.”
Luckily Labor Zombies … is a sell-out performance, upstaging the government’s own show, “Geronticide! Hell ain’t a patch on the ways you will suffer in God’s Waiting Room; dying of abuse and neglect in our private aged care homes”, brilliantly scripted by commissioners Lynelle Briggs, AM, and Richard Tracey, AO, in their three-volume Interim Report into Aged Care …, “…a shocking tale of neglect”.
Everything’s apples with aged care with just a few rotten fruit spoiling everything. Besides, Morrison says there’ll be more funds by Christmas. He can’t say how little. No-one would expect his government to have been briefed so soon, given that it’s only Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison’s sixth year in government. Expect Santa Hunt and Morrison to stuff the announcement in a stocking late on Christmas Eve.
In the meantime, despite the commissioners’ finding that commodifying aged care is the core of the problem, the Coalition is proceeding with its plan to privatise the staff who do the assessments.
Amazing new efficiencies will follow; such as we’ve seen in the NDIS, where $1.6 billion is being saved by shunting disabled Australians on New Start instead. Private enterprise is a miracle of profit-driven efficiency. And care. No funds will be wasted on gratuitous compassion or humanity. Or spent in haste.
“We are six years into the rollout and we have heard of people waiting two years for a wheelchair, so it needs concerted attention,” says Kirsten Dean from disability advocate group Every Australian Counts.
Expect the reforms to raise the bar; reducing the number of our elderly folk who qualify for homecare “packages”, which are already very limited in scope and difficult to access even at their most basic level.
Above all, Labor Zombies … is a great diversion from the long list of latest revelations of wrong-doing by Morrison’s mob, especially the Australian National Audit Office’s (ANAO) censure of the pork-barrel party coalition for its shonky award of funding under its $200 million regional jobs and investment packages.
Conceding it might have a bit to hide, a furtive, federal government chooses to release its ANAO report on Tuesday afternoon when it hopes all eyes and ears will be turned to the track at Flemington.
The ANAO is scathing about the Morrison government’s disregard for advice provided by bureaucrats. It is also unhappy with ways the Coalition chooses to ignore guidelines regarding merit and eligibility.
Untrained ministers took over the process, making decisions on their own, unaided by expert advice. No. Of course, they did not bother to take minutes. 64 of 232 applications were scrapped. A total of $75.9m in funding is declined. Yet $77.4m in requested grant funding is approved to 68 applicants, not on the departmental list. Over half the funding is pork forked out of the barrel.
While program guidelines require applicants to declare any perceived or existing conflicts of interest, or declare that they had no conflicts – “no action was taken to give effect to this element of the program guidelines”.
Doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results, is one definition of insanity. Yet, when the Coalition rolls out the pork barrel, this week, in yet another round of drought relief; a billion-dollar “suite of measures” to its backblock pals, as it grandiose handout, once again, to entice farmers to do more of the same, is there method in its madness? Or is it merely Groundhog Day again?
The groundhog factor cannot be ignored. Mugged by an Anthropocene reality; Morrison’s mob have no idea what to do. No policies; no plans. No future. They can only fall back on past practice. And buying votes. Along with nostalgia, the pork barrel is part of every Coalition MP’s mental furniture; it’s in its DNA.
And craving more of the same old, same old means it’s only natural to look backwards; unerringly repeat the same mistakes of the past. Five years ago, then PM Tony Abbott, and his Minister for Agriculture and Water rorts, Barnaby Boondoggle Joyce, announced – a suite of measures offering financial, social and mental health support. Bingo!
But there is method or shrewd craftiness. Evading accountability for starters. Is there any area of public funding less scrutinised than drought relief? wonders Bernard Keane.
Australia would still have a car industry and 50,000 secure jobs for only a third of the amount that the Coalition is prepared to pony up for loans to farmers and small-businesses in drought-affected towns.
But imagine the outcry from News Corp and its claque if workers, or manufacturers, could borrow up to two million interest-free for two years; with no need to pay back the principal until the sixth year.
“Rural communities can’t function without these small businesses – that’s why we’re stepping in to provide this extra support,” Morrison says. But in its Abbott incarnation, the coalition government was perfectly happy to deny SPC Ardmona $25 million just five years ago?
Many workers and their families in other sectors would be glad of the support. Manufacturing, for example, lost 100,000 jobs, or a third of the entire agriculture workforce, in the year to August.
But extra support has limits. State schools won’t be eligible for $10m in new education funding announced in Thursday’s drought package, an “elitist and unfair” if not downright cruel decision.
Australian Education Union president, Correna Haythorpe, argues it’s “another slush fund for private schools” on top of the $1.2bn Choice and Affordability fund for Catholic and Independent schools, which Lenore Taylor reports also included money for drought-affected areas.
In its encore, Drought Relief 2.0 “Suite of measures” this week, Morrison’s travelling roadshow hopes, above all, that the hullabaloo will distract punters from its own Drought Response, Preparedness and Resilience a report which it commissioned from top brass Stephen Day, DSC, AM, the very model of a modern Major General and former Drought Co-ordinator-general.
Somehow it must keep us from the Light of Day.
Drought is not a natural disaster, it’s an enduring feature of the Australian landscape, reports Day. Yet instead of launching into the droughts and flooding plains of Dorothea McKellar’s My Country – and a staple of The Nationals’ MP interview press-kit, Day breaks with climate-denialist tradition.
“While droughts are normal for Australia, drought conditions are likely to become more frequent, severe and longer in some regions due to climate change.”
It’s plain as day that we’re responsible for the drought, with our love of coal-fired power stations, coal mines and our mania for land clearing. It’s a far less romantic notion than playing the hapless victim – Abbott’s “Shit Happens” philosophy, a helpless victim of natural disaster.
But accountability is apostasy, heresy even in the broad church of the Coalition Party Room and especially to the reality denial cabal in the driver’s seat, to say nothing of the God-made-coal-so-we-should-profit-from-his-divine-providence, Pentecostal push that has a hot-line to the current tenant in Kirribilli House.
Shock Jocks, Turnbull And Housetraining . . .
Written by: Rossleigh
Ok, I am aware that there’s a certain type in the media who relies on saying something shocking in order to create the sort of controversy that gets them noticed. And there are some who’d say anything that someone paid them to say.
They’re the sort who are “housetrained”. Bring out your chequebook and they’ll tell you that black is white.
Sorry, Andrew, that’s just a figure of speech, so don’t get all funny about that court case, and Alan we’ve forgotten all about that Media Watch!
I mean, Alan Jones and Andrew Bolt are pillars. They are extraordinary human beings.
How do I know this?
Well, a few days ago, someone was suggesting that Turnbull had a “narcissist personality disorder”. And there were descriptions about what such a thing meant, but to use the Wikipedia defintion, it means that “a person is excessively preoccupied with personal adequacy, power, prestige and vanity, mentally unable to see the destructive damage they are causing to themselves and others.”
And yet, in spite of Turnbull’s alleged disorder, we’re told today, by Andrew Bolt that he’s been “housetrained”.
That’s Turnbull, not Bolt. Nobody could ever accuse Bolt of being “housetrained”.
Anyway, this Prime Minister – the one with prestige and vanity – has been harnessed by Jones and Bolt.
Yep, Bolt wrote today:
“So, yes, I should feel like Samson after a haircut. But here’s the funny thing. We’ve actually won. Me and Alan. We’ve house-trained Turnbull.”
Now some of you may have a problem with the idea that a Prime Minister could be the pet of two people who’s only claim to representing the people is that they give their opinion and that they don’t listen to anyone else. But, in Bolt’s world, this is what democracy means. He has the right to say whatever he likes and anyone who disagrees should be shut down, shut up or shut off.
After all, as he said when that other Murdoch paper, The Australian, had the temerity to critiicism him, he only has his reputation, so nobody should attack that. Particularly a paper that relies on the tabloids to subsidise it.
Now some may see a problem with the idea that Malcolm Turnbull would “housetrained” by such a person, but I don’t.
That’s because I read Andrew Bolt’s column today. And that means that I know all that I need to know. Because even though Bolt never completed his university degree, he’s somehow been able to become an expert on everything.
Even controlling PM’s with alleged narcissist disorders.
Pity he didn’t do it when Tony and Peta were running things . . .
Tony Abbott is Prime Minister of Australia – go figure.
Written by: Kaye Lee
Tony Abbott is Prime Minister of Australia. It is one of those things that you know is true but remains incomprehensible. Like the concept of infinity. It’s hard to get your head around.
In most jobs you need to satisfy key criteria to even get an interview. To get a managerial position you must have experience and proven expertise. Along the way your success in meeting key performance indicators will be assessed.
Leaders should be people who inspire others, they should be role models and protectors, they should listen and empower, they should have good people skills and be able to negotiate, they should be trustworthy and able to explain the reasons for their decisions.
Or you can just agree to say climate change is crap, and become the leader of the nation.
But how did Tony even become a contender?
He attended a Catholic boys school where he bemoaned the fact that he was never chosen for the First XV rugby team. Apparently this was not due to a lack of talent but to selectors who did not recognise Tony’s ability.
Tony then went on to study economics/law at Sydney University (for free) even though he never worked in either field and described economics as a boring “dismal science”.
Tony was active in student politics, eventually becoming an unpopular leader of the Student Representative Council.
“During my term, despite my objections, the SRC, continued to give money to feminist, environmental and anti-nuclear groups. I never managed to have the feminist and homosexuals’ slogans on the SRC walls painted over nor to open the ‘Womens’ Room’ to men, nor to make the SRC more accountable by ending compulsory SRC fees.”
Contacts within the Jesuit network secured a Rhodes scholarship for Tony to study Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford even though he had campaigned fiercely against the Philosophy and Political Economy courses at Sydney University describing them as a waste of resources and a hotbed of Marxist feminists.
The selectors for the Oxford rugby team also failed to appreciate Tony’s talent, dropping him after one game and suggesting that his ability had been overstated.
When he returned to Australia, Tony entered the seminary to train for the priesthood but quickly became disillusioned with a church who had “lost its way” in his opinion.
“Looking back, it seems that I was seeking a spiritual and human excellence to which the Church is no longer sure she aspires. My feeble attempts to recall her to her duty — as I saw it — betrayed a fathomless disappointment at the collapse of a cherished ideal.
In addition, a “cooperative” style of management ran counter to the Church’s age-old hierarchical structure.
The more they played up lay ministry and ecumenism and played down the unique role of the priest in the one true Church, the more the struggle seemed pointless and the more I wanted to participate in worldly activities which were much more to my taste.
l felt “had” by a seminary that so stressed ”empathy” with sinners and “dialogue” with the Church’s enemies that the priesthood seemed to have lost its point.”
Of his time at St Patrick’s seminary, vice-rector Fr Bill Wright wrote of Tony that many found him “just too formidable to talk to unless to agree; overbearing and opiniated”.
“Tony is inclined to score points, to skate over or hold back any reservations he might have about his case.”
Tony had been writing the occasional article for the Catholic Weekly and, when he left the seminary, he began writing for the Packer-owned Bulletin where, interestingly, he instigated strike action over the sacking of photographers.
“When I was at the Bulletin, ACP management one day, quite unilaterally, decided to sack the entire photographic department ….we were all shocked, stunned, dismayed, appalled, flabbergasted – when management just came in and said they were sacking the photographic department. So we immediately had a stop work meeting. There were various appropriately angry speeches made and I moved the resolution to go on strike, which was carried, as far as I can recall, unanimously, and we went on strike for a couple of days.”
Tony only lasted about a year before he was writing to wealthy contacts looking for a job. Through the Jesuit network, he got one managing a concrete plant and very quickly found himself causing a total shutdown through his inept handling of employees.
In a 2001 interview with Workers Online Tony explained what happened. Interestingly, some time between me quoting the article in August and now, it has been removed. I guess we now know what all those people employed to trawl social media are being paid to do – erase history. It is happening to an increasing number of links but it is too late, the information is out there.
“I got to the plant in the morning, marched up and down the line of trucks like a Prussian army officer, telling owner-drivers who had been in the industry for longer than I had been alive, that that truck was too dirty, and that truck was filthy, and that truck had a leaking valve and had to be fixed.
Naturally enough, this wasn’t very popular, and I had been there a couple of months, and a phone call came through one morning from the quarry manager, saying that there was going to be a strike starting at midday.”
Tony then took it upon himself to take delivery and run the conveyer belt on his own.
“A phone call came through at 5.30 the next morning from the senior plant operator saying: “Did you turn the conveyor belt on yesterday?”. I said “Yeh”. He says “Right – nothing moves – this plant’s black – like to see you get yourself out of this little fix Sonny Boy!”
I thought that there’s really only one thing to do, and that’s to beg. So I got over there and I said to the senior plant operator. I said: “Stan I’m sorry. I’m new in this industry. I appreciate that I’ve been a bit of a so-and-so, but you’ve made your point and I will try to be different.”
He said to me: “It’s out of my hands. It’s in the hands of the union organiser.” So I said, who’s the union organiser and what’s his number? I rang him and I sort of begged and pleaded. I said, well, look why don’t we put the old final warning. That if I ever do this again, I’ll be run out of the industry. And there was silence on the end of the phone, and after about ten seconds he said: “I’m putting you on a final warning mate, if this ever happens again you will be run out of the industry.”
Abbott soon quit the job as it wasn’t paying enough money and accepted a position with The Australian as a journalist. When they went on strike over pay and conditions, Tony was by now campaigning on the side of management, arguing in front of six to seven hundred people at the lower Trades Hall in Sussex Street that they shouldn’t go on strike. His speech did not meet with a particularly warm reception and the strikes went ahead.
He continued writing at The Australian until John Howard recommended him for a position as the then Federal Liberal leader John Hewson’s press secretary. Tony was responsible for the infamous line in a Hewson speech saying you could tell the rental houses in a street.
Is it any wonder that Hockey thinks that “poor people don’t drive” and Pyne thinks that “women don’t take expensive degrees”?
In 1994 Tony was gifted the safe Liberal seat of Warringah in a by-election and has been skating ever since.
He has changed his mind on innumerable things, lied and contradicted himself countless times, and then denied lying, even changing his words and removing online links.
He is a man whose convictions are dictated to him by polls and focus groups in marginal seats and by marketing teams. Peta Credlin has increasingly centralized control failing to learn the Rudd lesson.
Tony learns his script but does not bother reading actual reports, relying on others to just tell him what to say. His Star Chamber silence dissent, pay hacks to produce reports saying what they want to hear, refuse to release any that may be critical or negative, while arrogantly and blatantly rewarding their political donors.
Tony is not a leader by any stretch of the imagination.
It is not the Labor Party who is stopping this from being a decent government.
Darren Lockyer, the Pope, Tony Abbott and a school boy were all on the same plane when the engine failed and started to plummet towards the Earth.
They all realised that there was four of them and only three parachutes.
Darren Lockyer got up and said, “I am a sporting superstar and must live so that I can please my fans and continue my career to beat the Kiwis and the Poms in the tri-nations series.”
So he grabbed a parachute and jumped out of the plane.
Then Tony Abbott got up and said, “I am the smartest Prime Minister Australia has ever had and I need to live to continue to govern the nation.”
Then the Pope said to the school boy, “I am old and have lived my life so you should take the last parachute instead of me.”
The school boy replied, “No, it’s okay, the worlds smartest Prime Minister took my school bag so there’s one for each of us!”
Abbott is Murdoch’s dream come true
Written by: Matthew Donovan
Abbott and Murdoch (image courtesy of smh.com.au)
The Australian’s Christian Kerr was the one called up to last bucket the Labor Party’s leader.
There is nothing unusual about this but I was struck by the column inches wasted on what can be only labelled as an infantile array of unnecessary and completely un-newsworthy cheap shots at the Opposition Leader Bill Shorten.
He bases his commentary on Bill’s initial response to the closure of Toyota in Australia.
He derides his passionate press stop with Labor colleagues, saying Shorten’s ‘jumble of thought and emotion served neither his cause nor his constituency’.
He then gives a backhanded compliment to him:
‘But it was a different Shorten who appeared in question time. He looked smart; well-groomed, well-dressed – even well-pressed’.
Well I’m glad he met your standards, Christian.
To top off this childish spray he says:
“The schoolboy hair and rumpled suit were gone, but the Opposition Leader may have spent summer in class in elocution lessons.”
What a puerile effort!
The only opinion writers you will find in The Australian that present the other side of the debate are either former or present Labor Party MPs.
The list of Liberal acolytes and staunch conservatives at “The Heart of the Nation” is extensive. Judith Sloan, Henry Ergas, Chris Kenny, Grace Collier, Janet Albrechtsen, Nikki Savva, Peter van Onselen and Dennis Shanahan all speaking in one voice.
To be fair, Peter van Onselen does occasionally stray into the territory of supporting Labor occasionally but it is always uncomfortably done and in a backhanded manner.
He becomes indignant, his glass jaw on display, when it is suggested he is a Liberal.
He’s a former Liberal staffer, who writes for The Australian and has his own show on Sky News, along with the TV host-cum-shock jock wannabe Paul Murray.
Do I really need to say anymore? He knows which side his bread is buttered on.
All this isn’t an accident. They are paid to push the IPA Fox News conservatism Rupert Murdoch is so in love with.
A quick look at Murdoch’s Twitter stream is enough to make me ill. A pulpit from which this self important man lectures governments and guides his minions.
This is done both for self-interest, to keep the Abbott Government in his pocket, but also to drive the resurgence of Murdoch’s ideology in Australian society.
Abbott is Murdoch’s dream come true. A willing accomplice in dragging Australia back to the bad old “Golden Age” of Howard or, better still, back to the visionary Menzies era. An era where Australia stagnated as a conservative bastion and complete backwater.
A lot of his opinion writers seem to enjoy trying to immaturely bait and annoy progressives and are making a habit of constantly defending the bungling Abbott Government at all costs.
Can you imagine the commentary if Julia Gillard or Kevin Rudd started their terms in office how Abbott has? The cabal of Murdoch facilitators would be feverishly speculating about leadership challenges from the front pages of the entire News Corp Australia stable of publications.
All this is completely fine in a free press but who does The Australian serve?
Would it not be best to try and present news in an unbiased manner, without riddling it with opinion?
Would it not be best to have a balanced stable of opinion writers from across the spectrum to present the diverse array of views in our nation?
For somebody as experienced as Rupert Murdoch you would think he would respect the values of “fairness and balance”.
Given the tagline for his joke of a “news network” Fox News is “fair and balanced” it would seem Murdoch has no concept of the most basic of journalistic principles. Or maybe he simply doesn’t care?
Can I make a suggest Rupert? Don’t call The Australian “The Heart of Australia”.
“The Voice of Rupert Murdoch” has a ring to it I think.

The Abbott Praetorian Guard at The Australian
Image courtesy of video.news.com.au
The Abbott Pretorian Guard at The Australian – and all other Murdoch newspapers – have closed ranks around their man in The Lodge. A man under siege from all sides.
He accrues baggage every single time he opens his mouth. The outrage on social media is palpable.
The Australian likes to conveniently disregard Twitter as being “Left biased”.
The same can’t be said for Facebook with its much larger user base.
Facebook is also lighting up with fury over the regressive agenda of the Coalition.
The nation wide community organised rally movement March in March has been gathering momentum almost entirely on Facebook.
People are unimpressed and they are angry about Abbott’s vision of helping the big end of town at the expense of the social safety that everyday Australians rely on.
The Australian way of life is being severely damaged and in record time.
I am absolutely hostile towards Tony Abbott and all he stands for. I have made that clear time and time again. I wear it as a badge of honour. We deserve better than the sorry lot we have in charge now.
The Murdoch media is busily trying to spin Abbott’s horrendous showing at the World Economic Forum in Davos. It’s made worse by the fact he is currently the President of the G20.
Unfortunately, the man whose turn it was in The Weekend Australian to plead Abbott’s case, Dennis Shanahan, isn’t so clear about his motives and objectives when writing his opinion pieces.
He spurns Labor every time he mentions them no matter what the issue. He praises the Coalition at every opportunity. Just the way Murdoch likes it.
It would not surprise me if he, along with Paul Kelly and Henry Ergas, is in regular contact with Murdoch about what to write and how to write.
They are Rupert’s de facto voices in The Australian.
I would say Rupert writes them himself but I have seen his writing and I wrote better in my first semester of journalism school.
Dennis at least can string his words together.
I also assume Dennis talks to Abbott frequently. Mr Abbott only talks regularly to those in the media who are friendly towards his warped agenda.
This would easily explain why he relishes talking to 2GB and other divisive, biased and deceptive shock jocks who pander to the lowest common denominator.
Abbott, along with his ministers, is not as keen to appear on Lateline, 7:30, ABC or Q&A.
How many days since his last appearance on Q&A again?
This can mostly be put down to the overly controlling Chief of Staff Peta Credlin, the wife of the Liberal Party head Brian Lougnanne.
This woman has more power than the hapless and effectively irrelevant Deputy PM Warren Truss of the disregarded National Party.
Credlin is the woman to blame for several ministers in hiding, most prominently the disgraceful Scott Morrison.
Truth, facts, scrutiny and accountability scare this government witless. Disregard any election commitment in this regard.
Shanahan’s characteristically fawning piece is hard to take seriously.
A quick look at the latest polls suggests all is not “beer and skittles” for the Abbott Government, as Dennis tries to suggest.
Dennis seems to laugh at the concept of Abbott being presented as “old-fashioned, unthinking, ‘innumerate’, and uninterested when it comes to economics”.
A quick Google search of Tony Abbott or a visit to YouTube would suggest Dennis either hasn’t done his research on this man, believes in his agenda or is utterly clueless and blind to reality. Maybe all of them.
Tony Abbott is the most conservative – and pathetic leader – Australia has had since the early 70s under the hopeless and out of touch Billy McMahon.
That’s right, Billy McMahon. The same Prime Minister who was so abysmal Murdoch refused to support him during the 1972 federal election.
Nobody with any sense can dispute Abbott’s conservatism.
His notorious history at Sydney University is enough to suggest he is completely out of step, destructive, negative and aggressive.
He happily and cunningly walks the path of negative fear politics and brings out the worst in people.
Typical divisive Tory politics.
This might be expected in university but at the highest level it disgraces the good name of our country.
Some Young Liberals have followed his lead. Nasty trolls with no policy clue whatsoever and a backward view of the world.
Dennis says how happy “senior business people” were with him and his speech.
He says foreign business leaders were all saying they wished they “could have one of him”.
They want him? They can have him!
Tony Abbott is the leader that the business community wanted desperately and helped elect.
Why wouldn’t they be happy?
While business falls over itself to take advantage of Abbott’s selfish business orientated agenda the attacks on ordinary Australians and nasty surprises keep piling up.
Do you get this from Dennis?
He’s too busy praising the agenda of “smaller government”, “less red and green tape”, and Abbott’s belief “government doesn’t always know best”.
Abbott’s attacks on Medicare, social security, the disabled, the environmental movement, education, the LGBTI community and health, among many others haven’t gone unnoticed by those who matter. The voters.
Abbott refuses to engage in the international efforts to mitigate climate change and declined to be involved in the CHOGM climate change fund.
Let’s not forget that this government failed to send Environment Minister Greg Hunt to a key climate change conference recently and irritated many nations with their obstructionist attitude to measures to address climate change.
His government earned Australia the “Colossal Fossil” Award for being the most retrograde nation at the conference.
Makes so many of us so proud.
Dennis obviously agrees government should “get out of the way” of business and let them make their money in peace as Abbott suggests.
I ask Dennis to wind his mind back to 2008. The world economy was in compete free fall.
Why? Deregulation and inept oversight of unfettered capitalism in the United States.
Tony Abbott actually criticised Australia’s action to halt the impacts of the GFC on Australia. That would have had many eyes in the room rolling.
A true economic innumerate and a man who himself has said he has no interest in economics.
Not to mention his continued, impertinent and quite frankly childish efforts to drag domestic politics onto the global stage despite being against all accepted protocols.
I sometimes wonder why I read and support the News Corp Australia monstrosity.
I have to remind myself it’s to call out the completely biased drivel of “journalists” like Dennis Shanahan.
A man who passes off free advertising for the Coalition Government as well thought out and impartial analysis.
Pull the other one Dennis.
You may be a writer but you are not a journalist and your analysis – in written form or video – is truly hopeless.
In closing I share my one and only interaction with the man of the hour:
I can’t for the life of me understand what goes through your head.
Everything is geared around Labor being bad and or doing bad.
Labor drops in the polls. Bad.
Labor rises in the polls. Still bad.
What universe are you in?
You expect Labor to go from 42% to 51%?
It is just blatant inability to try and pretend there is some ounce of balance at The Australian.
You just end up looking like a political hack and damn right fool.
His response:
As a disappointed and frustrated Labor supporter your anger is understandable.
But your baseless allegations of bias are unacceptable.
You clearly can’t read or accept polling figures which Labor MPs understand and for which they don’t stupidly blame me.
You are clearly loyal to Labor but your loyalty blinds you to reality and your ignorance, both of polling and manners, makes it necessary for me to block you along with a lot of cranks and nut jobs as Julia Gillard would say.
I’m always happy to have sensible political discussion with readers but your abusive comments put you outside that realm.
Rest assured the PM’s office does know how to have a sensible conversation about the polls and note that I wasn’t fomenting leadership destabilisation.
You’re blocked.
Dennis is more than happy to cast the first stone but when the same level of analysis is turned back on him he has a propensity to become indignant.
A typical Tory trait in my experience.
This article has also been published on Independent Australia under the title Shanahan’s unimpressive drivel about Abbott’s Davos debacle.
Climate change questions and answers
Written by: Michael Taylor
Anyone who has read Andrew Bolt, The Australian, or listened to any shock jocks such as Alan Jones recently would have been overwhelmed with the number of rabid claims that climate change is a hoax, a left-wing conspiracy theory, or that any change stopped over a decade ago. Sadly, this is the view held by our mainstream media and even more sadly, our new government. Neither seem interested in the facts.
Just over a week ago the the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) published Questions and Answers: climate change where they addressed some of the common questions raised about the changing climate and the science involved in studying it.
The media ignored it. The government ignored it. And as a result, you probably don’t know about it. After all, it was nothing more than a collection of facts: facts that contradicted what the media and government would want us to believe.
Below, I have reproduced a condensed version of the CSIRO’s discussion:
What is climate change? (natural & human-induced)
Human-induced climate change, represents a raft of new challenges for this generation and those to come, through increases in extreme weather events and other changes, such as sea-level rise and ocean acidification.
Climate change will be superimposed on natural climate variability, leading to a change in the frequency, intensity and duration of extreme events.
Climate risk profiles will be altered and adaptation will be necessary to manage these new risks. Adaptation includes new management practices, engineering solutions, improved technologies and behavioural change.
How has climate changed in the past?
In Australia, surface temperatures on the land have been recorded at many sites since the mid to late 19th century.
By 1910, Australia had a reliable network of thermometers and the data they produced have been extensively analysed by the Bureau of Meteorology and scientists at CSIRO, Australian universities and international research institutions.
This reveals that since 1910, Australia’s annual-average daily maximum temperatures have increased by 0.75°C and the overnight minima by more than 1.1°C.
Since the 1950s, each decade has been warmer than the one before. We’ve also experienced an increase in record hot days and a decrease in record cold days across the country.
Why do sea levels change?
Average global sea levels have been rising consistently since 1880 (the earliest available robust estimates) largely in response to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the consequent changes in the global climate.
There are two main processes behind long-term sea-level rises, which are a direct result of a warming climate.
Firstly, as the ocean has warmed the total volume of the ocean has increased through thermal expansion of water.
Secondly, water has been added to the oceans as a result of melting glaciers and ice sheets.
Sea levels began to rise in the 19th century and the rate of sea-level rise since the mid-19th century has been larger than the average rate during the previous two millennia.
Global-average sea levels are currently (between 1993 and 2010) rising at around 3.2mm per year, faster than during the 20th century as a whole.
How else are the oceans changing?
The heat content of the world’s oceans has increased during recent decades and accounts for more than 90 per cent of the total heat accumulated by the land, air and ocean since the 1970s.
This warming increases the volume of ocean waters and is a major contribution to sea-level rise. Ocean warming is continuing, especially in the top several hundred metres of the ocean.
Sea surface temperatures in the Australian region were very warm during 2010 and 2011, with temperatures in 2010 being the warmest on record. Sea surface temperatures averaged over the decades since 1900 have increased for every decade.
How is the composition of the atmosphere changing?
The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere in 2011 was 391 parts per million (ppm) – much higher than the natural range of 170 to 300 ppm during the past 800 000 years.
Global CO2 emissions are mostly from fossil fuels (more than 85 per cent), land use change, mainly associated with tropical deforestation (less than 10 per cent), and cement production and other industrial processes (about 4 per cent).
Energy generation continues to climb and is dominated by fossil fuels – suggesting emissions will grow for some time yet.
How is climate likely to change in the future?
With greenhouse gas emissions continuing to increase, we expect the warming trend of the past century to accelerate throughout this century. We also expect changes to rainfall patterns and to the frequency of extreme weather events like cyclones and droughts.
Average temperatures across Australia are projected to rise by 0.4 to 1.8°C by 2030, compared with the climate of 1990. By 2070, warming is projected to be 1.0 to 2.5°C for a low emissions scenario, and 2.2 to 5.0°C for a high emissions scenario.
Australians will experience this warming through an increase in the number of hot days and warm nights and a decrease in cool days and cold nights.
Climate models show that there may be less rainfall in southern areas of Australia during winter and in southern and eastern areas during spring. Wet years are likely to become less frequent and dry years and droughts more frequent.
Climate models suggest that rainfall near the equator will increase globally, but it’s not clear how rainfall may change in northern Australia.
Australia will also experience climate-related changes to extreme weather events. In most areas of the country, intense rainfall events will become more extreme.
Fire-weather risk is also likely to increase and fire seasons will be longer. And although it is likely that there will be fewer tropical cyclones in the Australian region, the proportion of intense cyclones may increase.
What is extreme weather and how is it changing?
The natural climate variability that underlies all extreme weather events is now influenced and altered by the effect of human-induced warming of the climate system.
Future climate change impacts will be experienced mostly through extreme events rather than gradual changes in mean temperature or rainfall.
Heatwaves, floods, fires and southern Australian droughts are expected to become more intense and more frequent. Frosts, snow and cyclones are expected to occur less often.
Extreme events and natural disasters place a huge burden on individuals, communities, industry and the government and have an enormous impact on Australia’s economy, social fabric and environment.
What are the impacts of climate change?
Australia is expected to experience an increase in extremely high temperatures, extreme fire weather, extreme rainfall events, tropical cyclone intensity, extreme sea levels, and droughts in southern areas.
A decrease in the frequency of extremely cold temperatures is expected, along with fewer tropical cyclones.
These changes will pose significant challenges for disaster risk management, water and food security, ecosystems, forestry, buildings, transport, energy, health and tourism.
For example, many animal and plant species may decline or become extinct, water resources are expected to decline in southern Australia, agricultural zones are likely to shift, coastal erosion and inundation is expected to occur more often, energy demand is likely to increase, snow cover will decline and heat-related deaths may rise.
Is the science settled?
In climate change science, robust findings include:
clear evidence for global warming and sea level rise over the past century
changes observed in many physical and biological systems are consistent with warming
due to the uptake of anthropogenic CO2 since 1750, ocean acidity has increased
most of the global average warming over the past 50 years is very likely due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas increases
global greenhouse gas emissions will continue to grow over the next few decades, leading to further climate change
due to the time scales associated with climate processes and feedbacks, anthropogenic warming and sea level rise would continue for centuries even if greenhouse gas emissions were to be reduced sufficiently for atmospheric concentrations to stabilise
increased frequencies and intensities of some extreme weather events are very likely
systems and sectors at greatest risk are ecosystems, low-lying coasts, water resources in some regions, tropical agriculture, and health in areas with low adaptive capacity
the regions at greatest risk are the Arctic, Africa, small islands and Asian and African mega-deltas. Within other regions (even regions with high incomes) some people, areas and activities can be particularly at risk
unmitigated climate change would, in the long term, be likely to exceed the capacity of natural, managed and human systems to adapt
many impacts can be reduced, delayed or avoided by mitigation (net emission reductions). Mitigation efforts and investments over the next two to three decades will have a large impact on opportunities to achieve lower greenhouse gas stabilisation levels.
It is incredible that this information has been unreported and I would assume, largely ignored. Instead, we will continue to be inundated with claims that rabid claims that “climate change is a hoax, a left-wing conspiracy theory, or that any change stopped over a decade ago”.
It is an act of gross negligence that our media fails to accurately report the reality of climate change. It is also an act of gross negligence that our new government fails to embrace the challenges.
Someone has well and truly lost the plot
That fine custodian of moral virtue, Piers Ackerman, is mostly known for his frothing-at-the-mouth appearances on ABC Insiders most Sunday mornings and as a journalist for The Australian and a couple of other magnificent Murdoch journals. The Australian, we are reminded, is the masthead of Murdoch’s media empire in our country. It espouses to be the pinnacle of decency in the Australian media landscape. I found this summary of its wonderfulness:
The Australian is this country’s leading news brand. The editorial values focus on leading and shaping public opinion on the issues that affect Australia, its residents and the Australian business environment. Led by a team of highly credible and experienced journalists, editorial themes cover economic, political and social issues.
Unparalleled national and international news and business sections are supplemented by indepth business to business sections such as; Australian IT (the largest newspaper IT section in the world), Higher Education, Media, Aviation, Thoroughbreds. As well, lifestyle, arts and sports sections balance the read for our independent thinking and influential readership.
The Australian brand is globally recognised as a leader in media innovation. The brand has evolved into a multi-platform offering for both its consumers and its advertisers by taking full advantage of the many techonologies available in the marketplace. From a refreshed, smart broadsheet layout to full gloss executive lifestyle magazines. From an up-to-date by the minute guide to news around the world via The Australian website to the fully interactive iPad application, online and iPad editions are refreshed throughout the day.
The Australian newspaper is published Monday to Friday.
A word from our Editor-in-Chief
The Australian was born in July 1964 as a bold venture in national journalism, vowing to provide “the impartial information and the independent thinking that are essential to the further advance of our country”.
Today, it retains that sense of adventure, covering the affairs of an island continent, with reporters across the country and foreign bureaus throughout the region and around the world. It is read by Australians from Broome to Burnie to Cooktown, and is published at six print sites around the country.
As the national broadsheet, our core areas are federal politics, international affairs, business, sport, the arts, technology and education. To do our job, we must stand above other sources of news and information.
We strive to be first with the big national stories. We aim for factual reporting and penetrating analysis. We seek to take our readers beyond the “spin” of the political, business and sport press release machinery.
Keep this piece of propaganda in the back of your mind: to provide “the impartial information and the independent thinking that are essential to the further advance of our country”.
Two newspapers in The Australian’s stable are The Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph, where Piers Ackerman is given the freedom to provide “the impartial information and the independent thinking that are essential to the further advance of our country”. They promote Piers as being:
. . . one of The Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph’s best-read columnists since 1993. One of the nation’s most respected journalists he has worked in New York, London, Washington and Los Angeles.
Well someone has well and truly lost the plot.
Here is Ackerman’s latest piece from The Australian, “Piers Akerman hits back at his critics following the ABC Insiders program“. I have highlighted those sections that do not to provide “the impartial information and the independent thinking that are essential to the further advance of our country”.
The chattering classes whipped themselves into a lather Sunday afternoon claiming that I raised questions about First Bloke Tim Mathiesons sexuality on the ABC Insiders program that morning.
Rubbish. The ABC’s producers had conservative Perth shock jock Howard Sattler’s repugnant interview with Prime Minister Julia Gillard listed as an item for Insider host Barrie Cassidy’s discussion to open up the question of whether she had been exposed to sexism during her career.
Do the sneering Left and the Twitterati really believe that it is possible to discuss the Sattler interview without touching on its subject matter?
What seems to have enraged the Left-wing blogosphere is that I said the Parliamentary press gallery had been asking the same sort of questions when Gillard and Mathieson’s relationship first came to light as Sattler had raised last week.
That seems to have infuriated my fellow panellists, former Fairfax journalist Lenore Taylor, now writing for some Leftwing online site and my News Limited colleague Malcolm Farr, who with Cassidy denied ever hearing such a thing.
I have never made any suggestions Mathieson’s sexuality. I don’t deal in tawdry topics.
Mathieson is in fact a very good friend with one of my long-standing mates and over the past several years we have been scheduled to meet for a weekend lunch, with or without his Significant Other, but diary conflicts have prevented such a felicitous engagement.
Yet there is no greater rumour mill in the nation than the federal press gallery – which in recent weeks has been relentlessly asking (I shan’t say what because I don’t engage in rumour mongering).
As I said the Sattler interview was unacceptable, that should have signalled my view clearly.
Quite frankly, I can’t understand why the Left gets itself so wound up about sexuality and gender issues when it publicly preaches these matters are irrelevant.
That’s my position and always has been. What people do in private is up to them.
What angers me more than the phony outrage of the aged feminists and class-and-gender war warriors is that the Sattler interview was deemed worthy of comment when there are so many more pressing national issues.
Not least the fact that the Australian navy and customs ships are too busy ferrying illegal people smuggler boats to Christmas Island to pick up the drowned bodies of those who were unsuccessful in making Labor’s lethal voyage.
Or the fact that the Prince-in-waiting Kevin Rudd is equally to blame for Labor’s blow-out Budgets, waste and failed policies as Gillard, the woman most ALP MPs hope he rolls.
Outrage from the Left – don’t make me laugh. Campbell Newman and his immediate family were subjected to a barrage of falsehoods concocted by Labor during the recent election and some of those who endorsed the rubbish have now found refuge in the Prime Minister’s office, just as the phony race riot of Australia Day 2012 was concocted there.
As I said at the end of the show, addressing Gillard (who wasn’t watching), I intended no offense.
I meant it. Just as I now say I will never be intimidated by the baying of Labor’s politically correct lickspittles who were ever so silent when this government was trying to muzzle the news media during its current term.
I repeat, I don’t draw up Insiders’ agenda, the ABC did because a conservative shock jock had made a fool of himself and been sacked.
They ignored the offensive nature of the charge in their attempt to further gore their quarry.
Many of you will find nothing wrong with that. He is simply sharing his opinions, even though they don’t provide “the impartial information and the independent thinking that are essential to the further advance of our country”. I think, more than anything, he’s letting us know that he doesn’t like the Left or any class or group likely to fall into the Left category.
But he doesn’t leave it alone. His article was reproduced on The Telegraph under ‘Sexuality rubbish a tawdry affair’ where readers were offered the opportunity to debate the article with Piers himself. There one can see first hand that Ackerman has no intention of providing “the impartial information and the independent thinking that are essential to the further advance of our country”. I produce some examples below:
In response to:
Piers,
I believe your wife is a female…correct? Well, does that make her a lesbian? THINK !!….that’s if your narrow-minded, blinkered, one-eyed, right-wing extremist attitudes allow you to.
Ackerman wrote:
THIS must be the stupidest comment ever submitted, Chris. This is the sort of logic that brought the destruction of border protection, the installation of pink batts, the Budget surplus we never had and Gonski, you must be channeling the brains trust of the ALP.
I agree with Ackerman that it was a stupid comment, but don’t you just love how he turns it into some Labor bashing?
Someone wrote:
Did you ask Tony why his sister is gay? Did you ask Alan Jones whether he is gay? Are you gay? Never seen you with a woman and has never been discussed. Don’t care what you do or Alan Jones and rest of you so called commentators. When did journalists become commentators? Your a journalist. Come out to the country sometime and look at real people with real issues. and yes there are gays in the country maybe you will fit in. Wasn’t that personal maybe that’s what the PM thought?
Ackerman, quick to blame the Lefties responded with:
Being a homosexual or a heterosexual has never been a big deal with me, Bathurst, but it seems to excite the Lefties no end. I have always been interested in the issues the ABC would prefer not to deal with – such as Labor’s failure.
Ackerman, so far, hasn’t answered many comments but when he does the majority of them are used as a vehicle to provide “the impartial information and the independent thinking that are essential to the further advance of our country”, which in his opinion is to demean anyone on the Left that breathes. Here are more of his rants:
And as for your pathetic smear, go and get your shilling from the ALP, they run the only smear operation I am aware of.
Interesting, Andrea. The first woman in parliament was elected by conservatives. The first female office bearer was conservative. Elected and appointed on merit. People aren’t afraid of women. They don’t like Quota Queens though and they distrust Labor losers like Gillard, Kirner, Bligh and Lawrence. With good cause.
Carol – if Anne Summers is not an aged feminist, I am a carrot. I would have thought that applying age as a descriptor might have excused her peculiarly bilious form of feminism. If you suggest not, I guess mit is just pure nastiness on her part.
Mark, why wouldn’t everyone feel entitled to feel superior to those on the Left when the evidence of the Left’s disastrous policies and philosophies is abundantly evident.
So The Australian vows to provide “the impartial information and the independent thinking that are essential to the further advance of our country”. Yet they put Piers Ackerman to work on the farm. Goodness me, someone has well and truly lost the plot then.
The march of opinion
In this recent piece in The Australian Laurie Oakes laments the decline of traditional journalism as it faces the rise of independent journalism. The article leads off with:
Press gallery veteran Laurie Oakes has warned how new media technologies are challenging political journalists with “implications for the health of our political system”.
He is rueful that what he calls fact-based journalism is now confronted by what he calls the march of opinion. It is interesting that he blames new media technologies and fresh opinions as the threat to traditional journalism. I would blame the decline in mainstream media standards, which I will return to later.
The Oakes story was repeated a few days later in the National Times of The Age where he continued his lament:
I want to be optimistic about the future of political journalism and the press gallery, if for no other reason than that its past shows that it really matters. But I have to say I’m not as optimistic as I’d like to be.
For 111 years Australia’s federal politicians and members of the Federal Parliamentary Press Gallery have been matching wits. The politicians have used every trick they know to try to control what the journalists report and how they report it. Gallery members have used every trick they know to get behind the spin and try to dig out things the politicians want to keep hidden.
But in an internet era that is fragmenting the media as we’ve known it, and making new communications technology easily and cheaply available to anyone, the press gallery’s role seems set to decline, which obviously has implications for the health of our political system.
If one looks at this opinion, the implication is that by making communications technology available to anyone will, as a natural consequence result in a decline in standards. The involvement of these “anyones” has previously been lamented by professional journalists. Is it that only those directly employed by a major newspaper or who gets behind a microphone, or in front of a television camera has a valid opinion? Is an anyone aka a nobody, aka an ordinary citizen not permitted to voice an opinion; not have an opinion worthy of note?
One need to look no further than Letters to the Editor for example, and especially those in the Murdoch press, or attempt to have an opinion published on a Murdoch blog for it to become obvious that not just anyone and especially those with a contra opinion, is permitted to voice that opinion.
Oakes’ suggestion is that the internet era is set to cause a decline in journalism by fragmenting the media and as a consequence has obvious implications “for the health of our political system”. The logic of this argument escapes me.
I would suggest that the decline is more likely due to what he refers to as fact-based journalism being dead and buried, right under his nose. The march of opinion will of course be the driving force of the independent media but they will be marching alongside the Press Gallery who replaced fact-based journalism with biased opinion, seemingly, when Howard lost government in 2007.
Ad astra at The Politic Sword in his fine article “The Canberra Press Gallery stumbles – yet again” succinctly summed up the Press Gallery with the astuteness that Laurie Oakes is oblivious to:
Journalists hate being wrong, being wrong-footed. Political journalists regard themselves as the insiders, privy to the labyrinthine goings-on in the corridors of power. They yearn for the scoop, one that places them a cut above their colleagues. Being out of the loop is anathema to them. They foster contacts, their ‘sources’, from whom they suck whispers, or speculation, or information, which sometimes turns out to be misinformation, accidentally purveyed or deliberately so by Machiavellian operators. Although at times it must be hard for them to know what to believe, that does not seem to inhibit most of them from rushing into print with their ‘exclusives’, so long as it makes for a good story, and trumps their fellow journalists in the process.
Ad astra discusses many instances where the Press Gallery have failed to apply the fact-based journalism that Oakes proudly boasts is the hallmark of the gallery. And more recently we can add Ashbygate – or the absence of it in the media – to the list. In an earlier piece “The Canberra Press Gallery will decide who governs this country” Ad astra also recognises the dismantling of and replacement of fact-based journalism with the marching opinion that apparently only the new media is guilty of:
Blatant political bias: This is the most contentious framework ‘bias’ of all. It is one that I wrestled with defining specifically because I could not decide, as I have never spoken to any of the protagonists about it, how fully invested politically are some journalists in defining the stories they write based upon their own political prejudices? It is probably fair to say that some are guilty of this bias. Yet others may only be playing to the audience that the proprietor instructs them to write for.
Today’s article by Gay Alcorn in the National Times kicks the stuffing out of Oakes’ blind faith.
Federal Parliament resumes in a fortnight. Are you looking forward to it? Can’t wait to tune in for question time? Hanging out for an election this year?
As a journalist for more than 20 years, and an editor for seven, I’m surprised at how much I’m dreading it. Already, press gallery journalists have pronounced that politics will be more bitter, more personal, more toxic this year and that – groan – the election will be about “trust and character”.
Well, what if it wasn’t? Specifically, what if the media decided it wasn’t going to be? The 2010 election – “Real Julia”, a gate-crashing Mark Latham, Tony Abbott’s “stop the boats!” – was pilloried by politicians and journalists as the most woeful in memory. Journalists complained about the politicians, but this time the rise of online commentary meant that feedback about our own performance was out of our control.
Two weeks into the campaign, blogger Greg Jericho was listening to Abbott announce the Liberals’ disability education policy. As he recounts in his book, The Rise of the Fifth Estate, as a father of a daughter with Down syndrome, he – and presumably others affected by disability – was interested and, “like a naive fool”, waited for questions. But reporters asked nothing at all about the policy, instead grilling Abbott on whether he believed Latham when he accused Kevin Rudd of leaking to Channel Nine’s Laurie Oakes.
A frustrated Jericho blogged that news directors should “bring home your journalists” because they were wasting money and delivering little. He still thinks that if you weigh up who was most at fault for that campaign – the politicians or the media – “a greater level of blame should be directed towards the media”.
It might surprise Jericho to know that many in the established media, where most Australians still get their political news, agree with him. We limped to the end exhausted and chastened. Why didn’t those journos ask about policy? Because their head offices weren’t much interested. Because the assumption is that policies – apart from a few the parties want to talk about – are dull compared with personalities. And because once it starts, a campaign has one big narrative: who’s going to win? The polls are the story, and how they go week to week dictates whether the leaders are judged harshly or kindly.
At last, a journalist who recognises that something is clearly wrong with the traditional media.
As I earlier wrote, those of the new media believe they are better suited to provide the diversity that today’s democracies need, yet which are often ignored by traditional journalists, or in Oakes’ case, the rise of which is lamented. New, independent media advances the opportunity to expose doctored or omitted facts from mainstream media and point out the bias – referred to above by Ad astra – by particular reporters who do not provide such opportunity for his/her readership to give voice to alternate opinions.
The new media also encourages readers to think objectively and ask the probing questions that might often be avoided by the mainstream media (MSM), particularly if they are working to a different (or hidden) agenda. Further, through independent media, people have the opportunity to analyse and disseminate the news and opinions thrown at them from the established media; the blogosphere, for example, is awash with a more objective and factual analysis.
Independent media has exploded, not because they are the echo of dissenting voices, but because the MSM has created an arena for them to enter. If the MSM was objective, impartial and committed to providing a quality service then in a modern democracy there may not be any citizen journalists, or for that matter, the dozens of independent media sites that exist purely to fill in the gaps exposed by the mainstream media empires.
Welcome to the march of opinion. Only now might it be laced with fact.
B Sullivan, I agree. For all their whinging, country people...

On the cover of the latest issue of comic gene magazine, it was announced that Fe’s action-romance “Love of Kill” (jap.: “Koroshi Ai”) will receive an anime adaptation in the form of a series. A picture with the announcement can be found later in the article.
Manga Has Been Released Since 2014
Fe launched the manga series “Love of Kill” in April 2014 on the website pixiv. Since October 2015, it has been published in the “Comic Gene” magazine. The Japanese publisher Media Factory has so far published ten volumes in printed form.
The silent Chateau Dankworth is a bounty hunter. Their target: Son Ryang-ha, a notorious killer known for killing 18 high-ranking officials in a single night. His murders are fast, efficient and bloody. But when Son-Ryang-ha overpowers the bounty hunter at the first encounter, he reveals his own intentions: he is behind her heart.
Son Ryang-hat’s attempts to attract the attention of Chateau are pretty special. He offers her gifts in the form of her current, shackled and beaten goals. He wants to do everything he can to spend more time with her. Reluctantly, Chateau takes part in this action, and so begins the cat-and-mouse game of love between two murderers.

Did You See That?!? (Tv & Film)
Marnie (1964) – Alfred Hitchcock
Posted by TD Rideout on August 17, 2018 July 20, 2018
Vertigo is the next big title in The Movie Book from DK Canada. As I’ve reviewed that previously, as well as a number of the films on the What Else to Watch list, I settled in for the 1964 film, Marnie, directed by the master, Hitchcock, and starring Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery.
Hedren is Marnie, a thief, and a liar, who gets jobs, robs the place, and then vanishes, changing her appearance constantly, to keep from being recognised. She has some serious issues with her mother, Bernice (Louise Latham), but Marnie has repressed the memory of what they are, which only causes her more problems.
When she goes to work for Rutland’s, she catches the eye of the owner, Mark Rutland (Connery), who in turn catches onto her, and prevents her from robbing his company. In some rather devious manipulations, he forces her to marry him, but their relationship and their honeymoon is a disaster.
For all of that, Rutland does care about her, and is determined to find a way for her to be at peace (even going so far as to hire a detective to look into her past), perhaps share in his love, and maybe, just maybe, confront her past once and for all – and put to rest the terrible events of her childhood.
Hedren is exceptional in her role, and Hitch’s staging and framing of images makes this a moody piece with some suspenseful moments. It features a strong score by Bernard Herrmann (his last for a Hitchcock film), and while I’m not a fan of how some of the story plays out, I do like the actors and talent involved.
Despite some of his actions, it’s clear Mark does love Marnie, and truly wants her to be happy, even as those around them start to suspect something more is going on, especially Mark’s friend, Lil (Diane Baker).
The film entertains, although a number of its attitudes are out of date – and the film’s climax is top-notch (and includes an appearance by Bruce Dern).
Connery is, as always, a lot of fun, exuding cool and charm, as he moves through the moments of the film, and tries to ‘cure’ Marnie.
Hitchcock was a masterful filmmaker, and he tends to layer his films with all manner of themes, images, and ideas, Marnie is no different. If you haven’t seen it, take a look, and if you have seen it, maybe it’s time to watch it again.
You could pick up a copy of DK Books’ The Movie Book and find a classic to watch tonight!

Australia’s keen yet largely untapped hunger for e-commerce, Amazon
Finance Your Budget Australia’s keen yet largely untapped hunger for e-commerce, Amazon

New research has exposed a “strong local interest” in Amazon and an unfulfilled “gap in the market”, as Australia eagerly awaits the official launch of the e-commerce giant.
About 4.6 million Australians accessed the United States’ Amazon website during the month of October 2017 alone, according to Nielsen data.
This meant it ranked second among the top five mass merchandisers for unique views in Australia, behind supermarket giant Woolworths (6.7 million).
Amazon was positioned well ahead of Coles (3.7 million), Kmart Australia (3.3 million) and consumer electronics company Kogan (2.8 million).
The New Daily revealed on Tuesday that Amazon planned a soft launch of the site at 2pm on Thursday, with an expected full launch on Friday.
However, while sellers confirmed a soft launch did go ahead on Thursday, the full launch did not take place.
Sellers told The New Daily it would now be unlikely to happen until next week at the earliest, meaning most Australians would have to wait a bit longer before they could access the full site.
Shopping and retail expert Jo Munro said Australia’s “strong interest” in online shopping proved there is a “gap in the market”.
“For many years pricing for normal, everyday items in the US were dramatically lower than in Australia,” she said.
“Once online shopping picked up, we could shop the world and, even with international postage, the pricing was so much better than buying locally.
“Amazon’s arrival is definitely a disruption to Aussie retail, however this is a sink-or-swim moment for some retailers. Those who do a great job, have a loyal customer following and provide massive value will thrive. Those who don’t will have to reconsider their retail strategies.”
Marketing expert Dr Louise Grimmer, of University of Tasmania, said Australian retailers have been late to embrace e-commerce, with many of the smaller businesses still resistant to the shift to online.
“Our research revealed that approximately 68 per cent of small retailers stated that sales via a store website were not important for their success,” she told The New Daily.
“In addition around 43 per cent of those surveyed considered that a website [with or without e-commerce] was not important for their success.
“A similar number also reported that social media – such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram – was not important for their business success.
“This is worrying because we know that increasingly consumers are using their smartphones for shopping.”
The other technology that Australian retailers have been slow to adopt is retail apps, she added.
“More and more Australians are using mobile apps for shopping and this appetite is actually in stark contrast with the number of retailers actually developing and offering retail apps.”
However, Dr Gary Mortimer, a marketing and international business expert at QUT Business School, said larger Australian retailers had come “leaps and bounds” over the past 10 years.
“Most retailers are now providing an online offer. Although, there are always opportunities to do more. Take Bunnings for example, which after 25 years in the market, has indicated they will now provide an online platform for their hardware customers,” he said.
Healthy retail competition
Dr Mortimer said Amazon will bring greater competition to the Australian retail industry.
“Shopping online creates a level playing field. It’s a transactional exchange, rather than relational which you get in store,” he said.
“You can’t touch, taste, feel, smell or try on the product. So, shoppers tend to look at price and brand.
“Speed however is becoming the new currency for retailers – it is no longer about being the cheapest, but the fastest. The retailer that can get their customers’ online purchase to them in the fastest possible time, will win the retail game.”
Tim MacKinnon, managing director of eBay Australia, which has been in the marketplace for 18 years, told The New Daily the competition of Amazon would “drive the pace of innovation”.
“I think it’s going to be the most dynamic period Australian retail has ever experienced,” Mr MacKinnon said.
“Competition is healthy … But we are eBay, we represent Australian retail and feel a responsibility to help our 40,000 Australian retailers to help grow them through this period of change.”
Woolworths chairman Gordon Cairns announced at its annual general meeting on Thursday that it was introducing an additional four ‘dark stores’ used to pack and ship online orders.
A Coles spokeswoman told The New Daily it had already launched a second ‘dark room’, also known as an “online store”, last month.

Some Truth to Dave Doeren on ACC vs. SEC
Posted by Kyle Kensing on July 21, 2015
NC State head coach Dave Doeren said at Tuesday’s session of ACC media days that his home conference has outperformed the mighty SEC over the last two seasons. Before rolling your eyes back into your head far enough to examine your brain, consider where Doeren is coming from.
For those of us college football followers who reside outside the SEC footprint, the conference sometimes feels like a party guest who arrives, drinks all the beer, hits on everyone else’s dates and demands to be the best at any games being played. Now, imagine if that guy was your next-door neighbor.
That’s the ACC’s relationship with the SEC.
Sharing a geographic footprint with a conference means fighting for attention from much of the same audience, but more importantly, jockeying for the same recruits. When the SEC is on your same block, thumping its collective chest about being the best, an ACC coach would be derelict in his duties not standing up for his league.
EDSBS’s Spencer Hall summarizes it nicely, in less than 140 characters.
Dave Doeren says the ACC has done better than the SEC the past two years, which is exactly what I would say if I were him.
— OLIVER STACKS (@edsbs) July 21, 2015
There’s also probably a certain level of frustration oozing out of ACC coaches, not just Dave Doeren. Georgia Tech’s Paul Johnson ended last season with wins over Georgia and Mississippi State, the latter a rout in the Orange Bowl. Johnson sounded off after that win.
Now, here’s the real kicker: Dave Doeren isn’t wrong.
The SEC long ran roughshod over its neighbor, but the last two years have seen a shift, which arguably started with the 2012 Chick-Fil-A Bowl. Clemson, long a favorite punching bag of SEC opponents, beat an LSU team that opened the season with very real national championship aspirations.
Dabo Swinney’s Tigers opened the following season with a win over Georgia in one of the most exciting games of the last few years. Clemson fans poured onto the field that August night and, as Swinney spoke with ESPN in the postgame fray, chanted “A-C-C!”
That same season included Miami’s win over Florida, and Florida State going undefeated for the first championship claimed under the ACC banner in 14 years. In 2014, the ACC owned Rivalry Week with a 4-0 record over the SEC. Swinney and Clemson finally got over the hump against Steve Spurrier and South Carolina, while Johnson’s Georgia Tech outlasting Georgia in overtime served as the centerpiece.
Of course, the ACC hasn’t exactly turned into the bully on the block. Georgia exacted revenge over Clemson for the 2013 loss in last year’s season opener, rather emphatically. Todd Gurley ran roughshod over the Tigers to begin their 2014 regular season in the same manner the 2013 version ended: with a loss to an SEC opponent.
Duke let a big slip against Texas A&M in the 2013 Chick-Fil-A Bowl, in the same venue where Alabama opened the season beating Virginia Tech. Save this past season’s loss to Clemson, South Carolina has been excellent against the ACC, opening 2013 with a win over North Carolina and capping 2014 by defeating Miami.
Dave Doeren’s point could certainly be argued — but it also can’t be outright dismissed. The ACC has made considerable strides, in the process gaining ground on its neighbor. The 2015 ACC-SEC encounters could be the most contentious showdowns between two sides forced to share the same block since George H.W. Bush moved onto Evergreen Terrace.

Your summer trip to Iceland might be back on — with a catch

Iceland will welcome international travellers back “no later than 15 June”, Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir said during a Tuesday press conference.
Since 20 March, foreigners (excluding EU citizens, U.K. citizens, EFTA citizens and people living in the Schengen Area) have been forbidden from entering Iceland, except for essential reasons, according to Iceland’s Directorate of Immigration.
At this time, only travellers from within the approved areas may travel to Iceland, and they must immediately enter a 14-day quarantine upon arrival. But on Friday, Iceland will begin to slowly ease travel restrictions.

The first phase will allow travellers from the Faroe Islands and Greenland to visit Iceland without enduring a quarantine period, according to The Reykjavík Grapevine, an Iceland-focused magazine and website.
Though precise details are still in development, Iceland expects to ease entry restrictions for visitors from overseas by mid-June.
When an expanded set of travellers are again permitted to visit Iceland, hopefully by June 15, Bloomberg reported that travellers will be able to take a COVID-19 test upon arrival at Kevlavík International Airport (KEF) and, if the results are negative, enter without the mandatory two-week quarantine. Without taking the test, the 14-day quarantine period would still be required.
According to The Reykjavík Grapevine, travellers will also be asked to install a contagion-tracing app.
Travellers would be tested at the international terminal, and then be allowed to head to their hotel or other accommodations while awaiting the results, which could arrive on the same day.
So, who will pay for those tests? An AFP report published by Barron’s said the testing expense will initially be covered by the government, but that travellers will later be asked to repay the cost.
Another possibility for entry without quarantine is that travellers could seek out a clean bill of health from their healthcare provider or a travel clinic prior to departure. If Iceland’s health officials approve of the certificate, visitors may be able to avoid both the on-site testing and the two-week quarantine.

Iceland’s strategy seems similar to that of Austria, which recently introduced on-site coronavirus testing at Vienna International Airport (VIE). The results, Skift reported, are available within two to three hours and — if negative — allow travellers to skip the requisite 14-day quarantine. The tests cost 190 euros (about £168). Travellers can also provide a health certificate from home that shows a negative test result. Only travellers from within the Schengen Area and exempt individuals are allowed to travel to Austria at this time.
On-site testing for COVID-19 may be the key to reopening borders around the globe.
“Iceland’s strategy of large-scale testing, tracing and isolating have proven effective so far”, Iceland’s tourism minister, Thordis Kolbrun Reykfjord Gylfadottir, said in a statement.
The U.S. News and World Report called Iceland a “world leader in mitigating the threat from COVID-19” earlier this month. Approximately 15% of the population has been tested, and the coronavirus threat has been declared nearly eliminated.
