I had to call in a few favors.
Without responding to Megs text, Ehren made his way to her apartment, locking his door securely behind him. He actual put himself more together tonight. A black button down with flowers and his grey blazer and matching pants. He knocked on it, hoping that he didn’t regret not taking one last good look in the mirror.
He didn’t need to be scared, he realized because he had no evidence that what happened last time would happen again. It was probably just some sort of freak accident. He smiled when she opened the door. “Can I show you something?” He asked, way too excited to wait for her to get ready.
The fact that her phone didn’t buzz with a reply was a bit odd but she thought nothing of it. A shrug and her phone was set aside in favor of what she actually had been up to - a bit of light painting. Brush would marr canvas until the knock at her door would come. Things set aside Meg moved from her place where she had been perched to paint and she hoped that she didn’t look like a crazy mess for whoever was there.
With a bit of caution she approached. Through the peephole she noticed Ehren and her smile grew as the door opened. “Hey! Wow, you look nice.” Impressed by his appearance she beckoned him inside. He seemed eager, the energy he exuded was intoxicating. “Of course you can!” She laughed, nodding.
“Hang on a second, I’ll go put on something not covered in paint.” Turning on her heel she nearly ran into her bedroom, door closing behind her. In record time for getting ready she was back out with Ehren, presentable in a short, denim miniskirt and a band tee shirt which was tied up at the hem into a knot. Her hair had been pulled up and wrapped in a scarf where it had been before.
He smirked and grabbed her hand to lead her out of her apartment. He wanted to get there quickly because he couldn’t really contain his excitement. He waited for a moment while she locked the door behind her and then began to pull her in the general direction of the arts center. “I’m sorry, I know this is probably a little sudden but I am really bad at keeping secrets and if I don’t show it to you right now I might just tell you before you get to see it. It would completely ruin the fun.” He explained, his pace brisk as they made their way.
Dani had graciously let him borrow a key to get in after hours, even though she gave him a hard time about it. “I have a surprise for you.” He finally admitted.
The door to her apartment was closed. Her bag and everything was left behind, key stuffed into the pocket of her skirt. And then they were moving in the direction of the Facility, though she was unsure where they were actually headed.
At his admission her eyebrows arched but her smile grew in anticipation. “You’re sneaky, I’ll give you that,” she laughed, hand finding his and holding it gently. A surprise for her. He’d put something together and she found it so endearing.
As they made their way into the Marigold, her curiosity only grew. “Really? That’s so sweet. What is it?”
Finally they arrived and he used Dani’s key to unlock the door. Inside it was dark with the exception of a few back-up lights. He followed the hall to find the door for the auditorium, grabbing a small flashlight off a podium near the door. As they made their way down the aisle he let go of Meg’s hand.
“Stay right there for one second.” He pleaded, slipping off toward the lighting booth where the stage lights were operated. He tried a few different ones at first, missing the center stage each time. Finally he found the right one and eased the lights up to the center of the stage where a bass sat on a stand.
He left the lighting booth and wandered back over to her to see her reaction.
Letting him lead her into the Center, Meg stayed quiet. She was curious. That was certain. Down the corridor they went after the flashlight was gathered. Into the auditorium.
Nearing the stage she wandered and then paused. A nod would come. She would do her best to remain though she wasn’t sure what they were doing here so late.
Interested, she watched the lights flicker. And then she saw it. The glimmer of the top coat in the lights and instantly she felt as if she’d been hit by a tanker truck. Her frame slouched and her hands lifted, cupping over her mouth. Tears welled up in her eyes.
He couldn’t see her face, only that her hands had come up and covered her mouth. “I had to call in a few favors, Dani is probably done being my friend with how much I’ve been bugging her.” He approached her from behind to stand next to her.
“It’s not your bass, or even one like it but it’s better than nothing and it’s yours whenever you want to come by and play it.” He offered, stuffing his hands deep into his pockets. She hadn’t said anything yet, not a thing, and he was starting to grow nervous.
It’d been years since she has seen a bass guitar; after the first year of being here her hopes of having one again had dwindled and faded. Now there was one settled on the middle part of the stage and she couldn’t believe what she was seeing. If that was possible what else could happen?
She felt his presence behind her before his voice could echo and resonate in the auditorium.
A sniffle. Meg moved a hand to wipe at her eyes which were streaming before she turned and threw herself at him. Her eyes squeezed shut and she clung to Ehren. “Thank you.”
He wrapped his arms around her as he clung to him, letting an arm drop to her back. He let his arm trail down as far as his arms would reach and brought his other hand up to her hair to run his fingers over it. “You’re welcome.” He said although it didn’t seem like the right word. She deserved to have this here.
The sniffle made his eyebrows furrow, he hoped it hadn’t just dug up old memories of her band. She’d expressed how much she missed her bass and while it would have been nice to find the one she owned, this was all he could manage.
Clinging to him, Meg buried her face in his shoulder. She didn’t deserve such a gesture. He was far too kind, too thoughtful. How had she gotten so lucky? So fortunate to have someone like him waltz into her life unexpectedly?
After a moment she raised her head. Up onto her toes, arms would wind around his neck and she leaned up to kiss him. “You’re too sweet. That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.”
Pulling back she smiled at him. Letting go, Meg pulled back and turned, peering at the bass. She itched to play, her fingers twitched. It’d been years but a bit of practice and she would be back to her old self. Was that what she wanted, though? To fall back into old habits?
Ehren smiled at her as she looked at the bass. “Go check it out.” It wasn’t plugged into an amplifier right now so she wouldn’t be able to hear it’ right now and besides, Ehren wasn’t sure where Dani stored those things anyway. However, he was sure for her just being able to play around on it would be nice enough.
He knew he probably wouldn’t ever see a semblance of what her band had once been but he couldn’t imagine anything sadder than her missing her instrument. If there was some way for him to bring his dog here, he’d do it in a heartbeat, but who knew where she was or if she was even still alive.
He walked with her toward the stage and up the steps onto the stage where the light was shining down. “Go on.” He urged her.
Like a child being lead to the toy store she followed Ehren. Hand in hand, step by step they approached the stage where the instrument sat. She let him go and ascended the short steps, finally on the level with the bass guitar. A quick motion and she was there.
A hand would extend, fingers tracing the strings. The reverberation shook her core and another moment had her plucking the thing from the stand and pulling the strap across a shoulder.
It fit fine as far as her height was concerned. A moment was taken to really feel the guitar - the weight, how it sat in her hands, the pressure against her frame.
And then her fingers were dancing across the strings. Muscle memory was a godsend; a few failed attempts and a few pauses to correct herself and then she was playing as if she’d never left the stage at all.
He watched her from the side of the stage with rapt attention. She looked like she was in her element and the smile it brought to her face was worth all of it. There was a couch in the corner of the stage to her left and he sat on it as he watched her deftly pluck at the strings like she’d never stopped in the first place.
He supposed he was a little bit lucky. The fact that she was interested in him was pure dumb luck, that Dani would be able to help him like she did the same. Maybe his life wasn’t doomed after all, maybe he could still find some sort of semblance of happiness in this world.
He remained quiet as he watched her, mesmerized by the attention she gave the instrument.
Fingers crawled down the neck to find chords, the others plucked the strings without abandon. She swayed where she stood, rocking out to that audience of own who couldn’t really even hear the deep tones of the notes.
After a few moments she sighed and smiled happily, looking over at Ehren. Reluctantly the bass was taken off, set upon the stand. She could be there all night playing and she knew he deserved a bit of attention, too.
Moving over to where he was she nodded, “Thanks again, that was amazing. Really. So nice of you.”
He smiled up at where she stood and pushed his hand out to find hers and give it a good squeeze. A warmth filled his body as he looked at the appreciation on her face. This was what he did everything for, to help people and he wouldn’t stop for anything, not even for himself. “No problem at all.” He responded, slipping his other hand into hers.
The way she looked down at him sent a chill down his spine and his cheeks began to redden. She was so beautiful and he was so totally whipped by her. At this point he’d do anything if he meant that she would keep looking at him that way.
Her hand found his. Fingers curled into his and she moved to get closer. “You don’t know how kind that is, really. People don’t do things for people anymore.” Her lashes batted at him, lips twisted into a playful smile.
“I’ll always remember it. You should let me do something nice for you, to repay you, of course.”
“How?” He asked her, pulling her hands so that she kept coming closer to him. He didn’t want to force her but he did like the feeling of her small frame in his lap. He liked the way her fingers grasped at his own and he felt his heartbeat quicken in response.
“I mean, yeah well you are giving me a painting so I think that’s pretty even, don’t you think?” He asked her, flicking his eyes up to meet her gaze.
She bit at her lip and slid into his lap of her own will. Arms would wind around his neck and those large eyes would look up at him. “If you consider that even, then sure,” came the reply coupled with a shrug.
Her fingers slipped into his hair, she leaned in to press the ends of their noses together.
He surged forward to kiss her, placing his hands on her hips, he slid his arms around her back to pull her closer to him. He didn’t expect to feel so much of a spark between them when they started their first date but the electrical chemistry that they had physically was undeniable by now.
She was irresistible, and Ehren loved how pliant she was beneath his fingers.
She was glad he’d closed the distance and hadn’t pulled away. Her body leaned into his strong hands urging him on, really whatever was on his mind. Eyes closing she kissed him deeply. Meg couldn’t help but feel a shock of electricity any time they were together.
Never in her life had she expected such a virulent, intense connection to someone else. But out of all the people on the island she was glad it was with Ehren. She only hoped he wouldn’t abuse it.
One of his hands slid across the length of her back to lightly rake down her shoulder blades. There was something so sweet about the taste of her lips that he had a hard time resisting when he had the urge to take a bite out of them.
A soft groan escaped his lips, caught up completely in the moment. He didn’t have room in his mind right now to worry if he was going to slip into another vision. This was the only thing that his mind dared to think about.
The fact that they were in a public place even if it was after hours didn’t phase her in the slightest. She was more than comfortable settled there in his lap nearly anywhere. Their kisses continued with zeal.
And then she drew back, eyes fluttering open. “We should probably take this someplace else, yeah?” She didn’t want to upset Dani as much as she didn’t want to move.
He looked up at her, his lips a slick red circle and his breathing ragged. It was clear exactly what was on his mind and hers so he nodded, allowing his grip on her to loosen so they could stand up. When she climbed off of him he suddenly felt cold and following her up, unwrinkling some spots on his jacket where their contact had bunched it up.
“Where ever you want.” He agreed, taking her hand so that she could lead him.
Crawling out of his lap she stood up. Hands would find his and she took a step backward, then another. “Why don’t we go back to my place? Get your painting.” More than that maybe.
With a grin she turned and lead Ehren out of the place. A moment of pause to lock up and get everything shut down, and they were heading back the way they’d come.
Soon they were at her door. Fishing for the key from her skirt pocket, the apartment was unlocked and Meg pulled Ehren across the threshold.
He nodded to her suggestion and followed her home. The moment he was pulled through the threshold he crashed into her lips again, picking her up by her hips to wrap around his abdomen. He couldn’t really contain himself in this moment, so happy in this one moment to just think about what was happening right then.
With her in his arms he leaned back to shut the door and walked her over to her bedroom. When he placed her down on the bed he broke the kiss and shucked off his blazer. His fingers went to untie her shirt so that he could slip it off of her body. Glazed eyes stared at her for a moment before he leaned down to kiss her again.
A soft humming noise of delight was delivered upon his lips as their bodies crashed together again. Arms would wind around his neck, legs around his waist as he lifted her. The denim of her mini skirt rose high up over the hips and backside exposing skin once properly covered.
And then they were moving. Soft sheets would meet her. Meg sat up and pulled back, sliding out of clothes as prompted.
Exhale would come through her nose. Mouth moved against his. Her hands found his shirt and she pulled at the fabric to silently suggest the obstacle be removed.
He helped her along with the buttons on his shirt and slipped it off his shoulders before tossing it to the ground. He could feel himself push against the zipper of his pants as his fingers made their way down to pull down her denim skirt off of her slim legs. When he’d safely removed them he dipped his head down to press a kiss to the bone at her hip.
Everything about her was soft. Her skin, her hair, the smile that played on her lips and all of it was intoxicating. He climbed back up to meet her, pressing their bodies flush together and stole another kiss from her lips.
Glad for the help she pushed away the fabric of his shirt, wanting only the skin beneath. Nails would scrape playfully at the flesh exposed, leaving the faintest of red marks as if to stake claim. Out of her skirt, she kicked it away to the floor and worked out of the rest of the barriers.
Her eyes watched the way his mouth found the bone of her hip, a grin spread across her lips. He was gentle with her, she appreciated that. And then she drowned utterly in the next kiss.
Hands would scramble for purchase on skin, muscle, as she drew him flush against her and moved to lay back against warm sheets, blankets.
One hand cradled her neck as he kissed her and the other trailed down the length of her torso. He let his fingers slip beneath her panties and come to rest at the moment sensitive area. It was important for him to know that she was as into this as he was. He was not disappointed.
He ground his hips down into hers and propped himself up for a minute while he took the condom out of his pocket. Yes, maybe he was expecting to get laid tonight. He looked at her as if to get the go ahead. He wasn’t completely undressed yet but if she was into it he wanted to be reassured.
Those fingers dancing across her skin elicited sounds, had her shuddering at his touch. Tongue would slide out to graze the swell of his lips as she melted into his touch. There was no doubt she was into what was going on. She wanted it as much as he did.
Hands would slip down his frame to his waist, nimble fingers would work the button of his slacks and zipper open and apart, seeking what lay beyond. The sight of that little square of foil delighted her. “Good boy,” She breathed, nodding. Glad that one of them was prepared she hoped they could go all the way this time.
He groaned into her touch, standing up to free himself of his pants, shoes and socks. When he came back to the bed her lifting her up by her back, finding the clasps on her bra to let it fall off her shoulders. Once off he pressed delicate kisses to her chest, trailing down until he hooked his fingers into her panties, sliding them off her hips.
He let his lips wander down before pressing his tongue against that sensitive nub, desperate to hear the wanton moans from her mouth.
Meg let him go only long enough to watch him become freed from the burdens of clothing. Sitting up slowly, frame shivering and limbs spread she watched with hunger as his fingers moved and his body shook to rid itself of garments. And then once more, like a fish on a lure, she was in his grasp. Arms would shift and delicate lace would peel tenderly from skin.
Hips lifted, Meg slid out of the barrier. And to her surprise what came next caused her jaw to drop and her body to writhe. “Ohhh, Ehren!” She called, legs spread. Fingers would find the short strands of his hair and grip, head would tilt backward as her eyes closed.
He continued to swirl his tongue around before he sucked in for a brief moment. It had been a long time since he’d done this but he remembered that driving women crazy. His eyes flicked up at her to watch the look of pleasure on her face. There was nothing more beautiful in the world right now and he continued for another minute before he came back up to her again, wiping his mouth.
Ehren looked deeply into her eyes for confirmation. “You ready?” He asked her which was almost a question to himself. At this crossroads Ehren suddenly remembered what had happened last time. He had a choice to make. Would he let his fear overcome him or take a chance for once in his life?
She could feel her body vibrating at his touch. Breathless, heart hammering against its bone cage, Meg’s back arched and her grip became white knuckled. And then her eyes popped open when he pulled back. She let him go, taking a deep breath, expression desperate for more.
Nodding, she offered a smile. Waiting was a challenge when you were engrossed in a moment like that. An arm would lift, hook around him, and draw him in close while he figured out what was on his mind.
Just like when he asked her out on a date, Ehren said screw it to himself and knew he couldn’t stop now even if he wanted to. He took the condom package and ripped it open, sliding it from the tip all the way down to the base before he settled between her legs. Using one hand to guide himself inside he felt a burst of nerves explode as he pushed himself inside of her.
This was better than before, being so close to her, only using their bodies to get to their ultimate goal. He propped himself up on his hands as he rolled his hips into her languidly, allowing her legs to wrap around him for control.
He felt better than he looked, which was a hard thing to accomplish in her opinion. The pressure was welcomed and finally it gave way to what they both sought: pleasure. Meg groaned, hips pushing against his to ensure that he got as deep as he could go.
Legs would wind around his to pin him in place, keeping him from getting too far away. There was no room for regret here, they’d come too far for that.
Arms wound around his neck and Meg pulled herself up, breathing soft words into his ear.
Her whispers sent a shiver down his spine and he felt himself quicken his pace a little, making sure to arch a little deeper each time to hit that spot inside of her. She felt unbelievably good around him, slick and wet. It had been so long he would have been surprised if he lasted.
He let his mouth come to hear ear, nibbling on the lobe as her mirrored the sweet sounds she was making. Every part of his body felt like he was burning and electricity flowed through his veins.
Doing her best to match his pace, Meg struggled to focus. He was so good she couldn’t find an anchor into reality. It’s been so long since she’d coupled with anyone. She didn’t want it to end any quicker than he did though she knew it wouldn’t be the last time, either. Or maybe that was wishful thinking. Things this good never happened to her.
Head tilted to allow him better access to her ear, her eyes closed. Humming sounds of pleasure Meg dug her nails into his skin.
As she tilted her head to give better access his lips redirected their focus to her neck where at sucked a mark. He could feel the warmth building in his belly each time he rolled his hips into her. Nothing else in the world mattered except for him, Meg, and the room that they were currently in.
He let go of her neck and moaned against her skin. “Meg..” he pleaded although he wasn’t sure for what. More, less, it was all so much. His heartbeat began to quicken to an alarming rate and the flush cane to his cheeks.
She could feel his lips searing a mark into the sensitive, tender curve of flesh at her neck. Her body shuddered. When they were done each would bear the aftermath of the act - her scratch marks, his mouth marks. But she wouldn’t hide it or act as if it hadn’t happened. It was a source of pride.
“Ehren,” she moaned in reply, body twisting slightly to offer better access and deeper plunge. She bucked up against him wanting to take him to the next level of euphoria.
The way she moaned his name was enough to drive him over the edge and he pushed as hard and as deep as he could to hit that spot inside of her. It wasn’t long until he felt a surge go through him like a tidal wave and he was filling the condom. Relief washed over him that he never felt before and it suddenly occurred to him that it wasn’t happening, he wasn’t slipping into a vision.
He climbed off of her and laid down on the bed next to her, trying to slow his ragged breathing.
Her entire body tensed all at the same time, stomach fluttered and twisted, as she hit her peak. For a moment her heart stopped, breathing ceased, and then everything began to function again. Making herself untangle from him, it was with reluctance that she let him go.
But the smile on her face would not fade so easily. Her hands danced across his skin finding warmth, and Meg gathered him into her arms, closing her eyes as she rested there trying to regain herself. “Wow.”
His breathing wasn’t calming down and with his arms wrapped around her it started to quicken. “Fuck, fuck, fuck no.” He said as his vision started to blur and his eyes rolled to the back of his head.
This time he was in his apartment, and he blinked as he looked around. It looked different. The painting she had yet to give him hung over his bed. He looked around, this had to be a vision of himself.
He got up and wandered into his living room where he saw Meg. She was...pregnant???
Megan was humming softly to herself. In the living room she was standing up, painting something on a canvas by the window that overlooked the street. Sunlight poured in through lace curtains. She wouldn’t be able to stand for too long. The swollen belly made being upright for too long strenuous, her ankles tended to swell but she couldn’t paint sitting down and relaxed.
Her hair was a more muted pink, pastel in color with teal ribbons of curls pinned up and out of her face.
In the panes of the window she saw his reflection and smiled, turning to look over her shoulder at him. “Hey!” Eyes would divert back to the canvas enough to set the paintbrush down before she was swiveling to better face him. That was when she spotted the card around his neck.
He looked down at where she was looking, the ID badge hanging around his neck that classified him as a mutant. Shit, shit, shit, he thought, holding it up to his eyes to look at it. “Meg, it’s, it’s not what you think.” He pleaded with her. Even pregnant she looked beautiful, but he wasn’t ready for that, wasn’t ready to even think about becoming a father.
“I promise, I never wanted to keep this from you.” He begged her, he had to tell her the truth now, even if it was only a vision. “I can see the future.” He mouth said but it wasn’t his words that were coming out, but the words of a future version of himself.
Her brow furrowed. Lips dropped into a frown. “You’re a—“ the word sat heavy on her tongue. “— like us.” Hands would fall to her sides as he begged, though his confession had her eyebrows arched. The future? What a blessing and a curse.
“You lied to me.” The anger alleviated, giving way to a pure sadness. Fingers would lift, touch the top of the swell of her belly. Inside the developing child kicked, fluttered. “You lied to us.”
He walked toward her to try and dissuade her from anger, but it was apparent that it was boiling up inside of her. “Meg, please, I never wanted to lie to you.” He begged, falling to his knees in front of her, taking her hands in his.
“I did it to protect you, the both of you. You have no idea how this affects my life.” He didn’t like the way his future self sounded. Pathetic, needy. He didn’t like this version of him at all.
Her head would turn, eyes would close as she saw him kneeling, taking her hands. “You’ve never been a man to beg,” she breathed, the ache of the gravity and weight of the situation present in her voice. Her hands remained in his. Slowly she lifted one of his palms and pressed it upon the swell. The little thing inside was kicking at the place where Meg had put Ehren’s hand.
“Keeping secrets doesn’t protect anyone,” she managed, finally turning to look down at him. “And I thought we were your life?”
“You’re my everything.” He said, a little powerless man begging for the one person, or rather two, who was keeping his fragile form together. Ehren wasn’t by any means a strong confident person, but he wasn’t a sniveling beggar either. This was a bad version of him, a version of him that couldn’t even keep it together for a moment.
“Please..” he heard himself beg before his world began to fade away and Meg’s room came into focus.
When he awoke he was covered in sweat and as pale as a sheet. He gasped for breath as he grabbed Meg’s arms. He’d been out for an hour, which was much longer than usual and he stared at Meg in horror.
“Ehren,” Meg had started, shaking her head. The vision began to fade.
“Ehren?” Her voice was nearly frantic. She was shaking him, eyes searching his face for any search of anything useable to let her know he was alright. And then finally he gasped for air. Relief washed over her and she sat back, startled a bit when his hands gripped her arms. “Are you alright?” Her voice was marred with the fear. “You were out for an hour!”
By that time she’d put clothes on in case she had to call for help. She didn’t like the look on his face at all. “What happened?”
He looked at her in shock as his breath began to normalize and he let go of her. “I..” He began but then couldn’t say anything, couldn’t tell her what was happening. He stood from the bed on shaky legs and fell on the floor as he tried to gain back the use of his legs. Once he was up again he went to his clothes and began to pull them onto his body.
“I...I have to go, um, see a doctor.” He was scrambling to come up with an excuse that sounded real and this was as good as he was going to get. “Another panic attack, I think this one was bad. I’ll call you ok?” He said as he shakily buttoned his shirt.
He wasn’t going to call her, he didn’t know what he was supposed to do now but he couldn’t let this continue, not if this was in his future.
Her eyes widened.
She’d been in a near panic; what if he’d died in her bed or in her house? That would’ve been terrible! Lucky he’d been breathing but she was no less terrified and anxious on her own. Her arms ached from where he’d grasped but she paid it no mind. Instinct was telling her to help.
Scrambling from the bed she did her best to help him stand up, to find balance. “A panic attack?” She inquired, blinking. “That was not a panic attack. That was like a trance or something.” Meg took a step backward unsure of what was going on with him.
“You’re going to the doctor now? You don’t even know what time it is!” There was medical facility twenty-four seven but that sort of treatment was probably better coming from an actual primary doctor and not some ER doctor. “Ehren, just talk to me.”
He shook his head, tears forming in his eyes. “I can’t!” He yelled at her, shaking his head when he’d realized how rude he’d just been. “Listen, I’ll be fine, don’t worry about me.” Maybe this would be enough to get her off his back.
He grabbed his socks and shoes from the floor and sat down to put them on. “I’m used to this, I can handle it, ok?” He couldn’t tell her anything because then he’d look like an asshole and he looked like an asshole because he didn’t. There was no real moral reason why Ehren was behaving the way he was except for pure selfishness. He didn’t want that to happen so he wasn’t going to let it.
She blinked. Her own eyes watered and her jaw set. He had been rude. Meg threw her hands into the air and then waved him away. “Fine! I won’t.” Arms would cross over her chest and she turned her head away so he wouldn’t see any expression or emotion there. “Get out.”
Meg turned away. She wandered into a different place in her apartment to put distance between them, slamming a door shut behind her with a foot.
Ehren’s eyes softened and he turned around to exit her apartment. He didn’t want this either, he didn’t want her to hate him but it was the only way he was going to stop it from happening. “I’m sorry.” He said, barely loud enough for her to hear through the door and made his way out of her apartment.
When he got home he collapsed on his bed and began to cry. Why was he cursed with this? The minute he found someone he had a connection with and it was completely ruined. This was his life.

KENTISH TOWN – LONDON
Let Us Maintain Our Earth!
One of our mission as a restaurant and business is to place sustainability as a key pillar in how we operate and do business. We want to take steps to minimise the environmental impact, so you can tuck in with confidence.
But what does that actually mean?
Sourcing at Babuji
Buy Local, as much as possible. At Babuji we have sourced the vast majority of produce from the UK, and we will always try and use UK suppliers. We want to reduce air miles and our carbon footprint.
We are fully committed to buying all our meat from within the United Kingdom. We also believe in buying meat from animals that have been treated with care and compassion.
Our meat is all HFA halal certified. This means the slaughter house has been inspected to meet the standards required to be deemed permissible.
It’s not just our food we care about; our drinks have been selected from producers that share our commitment in enriching the environment. Our cola is purchased from Karma, they are based in Camden and make Organic Ethical Cola. Our juice is all organic and from a farm in Devon.
We want to help in the reduction of single use plastic waste. All our packaging is fully recyclable, and some are even biodegradable. Don’t be fooled, some items may look and feel plastic but they are made from 100% veg.
We continue to find ways in which we can be reduce our carbon footprint. We use light sensors in our restaurant, equipment is only turned on when needed. We have a water pump sensor to reduce water consumption. It’s all these small interventions that we hope will make a difference.
Recycling plays such an important role in our sustainability objective. We have a zero landfill policy and work with a London based recycling firm.
The restaurant furnishing is all recycled or reclaimed. Our tables and sofa was saved from the skip, they needed some restoration but in our opinion they look fantastic.
Our chairs were purchased second hand. They may be worn, a bit rickety, and some have holes in them. But they have a lot of character and charm.

The Secret Lives of Housewives
It’s a wonder that anyone has the nerve to write about housewives at all anymore: Not only are these women bored, but they have been universally declared boring. Yet last year saw the publication of Hausfrau, an acclaimed novel by the poet Jill Alexander Essbaum about a disconsolate American woman languishing in her husband’s stifling hometown in Switzerland, and this month brings American Housewife, a short story collection by Helen Ellis. Add to that Jenny Offill’s Department of Speculation, a 2014 novel that, while not technically about a housewife, wrestles with the same conflict between family life and self-determination, and it’s clear that the theme is enjoying a minirevival of sorts.
~Laura Miller, "Ladies of Leisure"
Novels featuring housewives as protagonists first burst on the scene in the 1960s-70s, with memorable opuses including Susan Isaacs' Compromising Positions, Judy Blume's Wifey and Erica Jong's Fear of Flying, the latter two first novels for both authors (in Blume's case, her first novel for adult readers). Some of these early novels were sexy, some were polemics, but they definitely had a different take on the "suburban malaise" of earlier novels by their male counterparts featuring housewives, such as Revolutionary Road or Rabbit, Run. This was also the era that Erma Bombeck began publishing her "At Wit's End" columns, which took a humorous look at the lives of wives and mothers.
But, since them, we have had Desperate Housewives and Real Housewives of several different locales, and novels about lives in suburbia have become more twisted - or their secrets and controversies are more exposed, including vigilantes (Tom Perrotta's Little Children), familial doom (Jeffrey Eugenides' The Virgin Suicides), brutal murder (Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones), deception (Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl), and wife-swapping (Rick Moody's The Ice Storm).
We've compiled for you a list of fictional housewives with all sorts of adventures and dilemmas: in a "quirky ode to love, fate, and hair metal"*; trying to fit in in a seaside village with a soap-selling mafia; trapped in what looks like a picture-perfect marriage; after the end of marriage, trying to make ends meet in a dodgy apartment-sitting situation; dealing with family secrets coming to a head; meeting a celebrity crush who changes everything; even a 35-year friendship that becomes a writers' circle. Being a housewife is not a quiet or uncomplicated life! As Helen Ellis said on Twitter, in her housewife persona (her handle is WhatIDoAllDay, and she regards her feed as an online "cocktail party"), “I’m not bored, I’m lying in wait."

Fashola and Ndigbo in Lagos
I used to be a keen observer and admirer of the Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola (SAN). Apart from the visible progress he might have made in governing Lagos, I believe he is an astute and tactful politician. That could go as the most outstanding part of his personality. For almost eight years, he worked out a very rare but functional arrangement where he focused more on the day-to-day running of the state, while he allowed his former boss and Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria now All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, to hold sway and take full charge of the political arena. Do not take my word for it but it takes a man of considerable political acumen to function effectively under the shadow of a maverick politician larger–than-life politician like the “Lion of Bourdillon”, as many call him, and yet be able to create a remarkable political niche for oneself. Managing overbearing political bosses is a virtue that many of our politicians have not developed. Fashola not only achieved this but managed to create an impression of a visionary leader on anyone who visited Lagos recently.
However the controversial deportation of Nigerian citizens of Igbo extraction resident in Lagos by giving them an emergency destitute status has brought Fashola’s true divisive and odoriferous tribal personality into the public domain. It is unarguable that many admirers of Fashola are rankled and startled and now see him in a different, largely uncomplimentary light. Apart from the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum and Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, Fashola is one other governor who has demonstrated, in my view, that he has a direction and who anyone can hold a conversation with about good governance and development. My admiration for the conduct of these two used to be so boundless that I would nominate them without hesitation for any bigger national assignment only if I had the slightest opportunity. But not anymore, at least for Governor Fashola.
For the benefit of those who do not know the details. A Lagos State agency known as the Kick Against Indiscipline, obviously on the orders of the state governor, was said to have arrested some people predominantly from Igbo extraction about two years ago on the suspicion that they were leading destitute lives. They were detained in several locations in Lagos under some dirty and largely inhuman condition. Many of them allegedly died in the process out of starvation and sickness. A few who survived were later packed into a lorry like cows and deported to Onitsha where they were dumped near the head bridge at Upper Iweka and abandoned there. There is a possibility that not all of these hapless deportees were doing meaningful things before they were caught. However, some of them reportedly confessed to be petty traders and roadside food hawkers before they were nabbed by some overzealous KAI operatives. They disclosed that much when they were interviewed. But those are all by the way. How come they were interviewed to find that if they spoke Yoruba language before bundling them into prison? How come they bundled all of them into Onitsha even when some of them might have been from Calabar, Yenagoa, or even Uyo? Was it a pre- rehearsed attack against a perceived enemy ethnic group? When and where were these hatched?
As the debate continues to rage, many informed minds have continued to condemn Fashola and his government. However, a few ethnic jingoists have tried desperately to justify the action of the governor, who I am sure might have realised the import of his mistake by now. But I am certain that such arguments as indigene/settler, host/guest conversations have become anachronistic. And so I will not waste valuable time on the contribution of one tribe or the other to the growth and development of Lagos State as some have been preoccupied with.
However, I want to point out some personal views for all of us to consider, extrapolate and draw conclusions. The first point is a short story. During my days at the University of Ibadan, I used to spend time with a relation who lived in the Mushin area of Lagos. I remember it was a storey building and I often came to the narrow balcony to watch a mammoth crowd hurry across to Isolo, Idi-Araba, Surulere and other parts of Lagos. I recall vividly how I helplessly watched hoodlums on several occasions snatch bags and valuables from unsuspecting passers-by. If you are in doubt, try to walk around the area in the evening. You will notice some people following you and singing praises initially and appealing to you to “bless” them. If you hesitate, they will turn violent and “bless” themselves by force by dispossessing you of your valuables. They are still there as I write. Now, if a destitute person is someone who is poor and does not have the basic necessities of life. If the goal of the KAI campaign is to rid Lagos of poor, homeless beggars and non-taxpaying individuals as someone opined, then their destination should be Mushin. There, they will find trailer loads of such individuals but of course the destination of such vehicles will never be Onitsha. If the Lagos State Government was talking to its Anambra counterpart, why did it decide to drop the “deportees” at the Onitsha head bridge in the dead of the night, not in Awka or any government establishment?
Besides, how come the Lagos State Governor decided to contact, as he said he did, only the Governor of Anambra State on a matter as sensitive as this? Why did he not write other state governors in the South-East and South-South?
Instructively, during the last census exercise, Fashola and his fellow politicians were literally begging Ndigbo and other “settlers” not to go back to their states but rather stay back in Lagos and be counted. Now that they might have contributed to the mega population size of Lagos for which is a clear tool to bargain for national resources, these same people have become disposable street urchins. What could have inspired this state-sponsored hatred? Some say that the pre-civil war fear of Igbo dominance is still a factor. No. Not at all. The effect of the civil war on Ndigbo is so devastating that it will take many more decades to be neutralised, whatever anyone might think to the contrary. Many of the Igbo who left the East after the war went out in search of survival. After the war, they lost their jobs, money, properties and everything. Some of them who had millions of pounds in the bank had to forfeit them and were given only 20 pounds, on the orders of the Federal Government to start life. The only option they had was to continue to travel to places that were inhabitable to trade and farm etc. That was how the Igbo began to migrate to other parts of Nigeria in search of livelihood and survival. It takes a hard-working person to rebuild considerably from the rubble of war with only 20 pounds. Sadly, many years after the civil war, many other tribes with covert backing of politicians are still fighting against Ndigbo. Ndigbo are the least represented in everything Nigerian because, unfortunately, the divisive sentiments that pervaded during the civil war are still very active in the hearts and minds of many. If you look at the lopsided nature of the Nigerian civil service under the name of Federal Character, you will cry.
Since independence in 1960, ethnic issues have been deliberately politicised to give a clique of power-thirsty individuals, a dubious legitimacy. The civil war worsened it and politicians have continued to exploit it to their advantage. Amidst these sad and almost inescapable realities, one would only imagine that Fashola would have known and done better.
It must be noted out that the deportation saga has very tricky political implications. It has a potential of deepening inter-tribal suspicion with counterproductive political repercussions. For instance, Ndigbo constitute a majority of the non-Yoruba voting population in Lagos State that will be too difficult to ignore. How come Fashola mobilised these “street urchins” to vote for him only to remember towards the end of his last tenure that they are a bunch of nuisance that needs to be deported? Why did he not do it before 2011? What about 2015?

The Kidnapping Of Poor Nigerians By Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola Of Lagos
"We the people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, having firmly and solemnly resolve, to live in unity and harmony as one indivisible and indissoluble sovereign nation under God, dedicated to the promotion of inter-African solidarity, world peace, international co-operation and understanding. And to provide for a Constitution for the purpose of promoting the good government and welfare of all persons in our country, on the principles of freedom, equality and justice, and for the purpose of consolidating the unity of our people" - The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
When it comes to the constitution, Nigeria’s political class abandons discretion so stupidly. The legal impotence of the Nigerian constitution will likely rank first when compared to other developing nations of the world. Politicians, the corruptly enriched and powerful routinely find creative ways to simply side-step sections that they deem inconvenient or uncomfortable. The section dealing with fundamental rights of Nigerian citizenship had long been dust binned and completely forgotten. When convenient or supportive of some of their excesses, like the devil who quote the Bible to justify an evil scheme, these corrupt politicians recite the same constitution often violated at will.
Governor Babatunde Fashola toed this now predictable line, barely, twenty-four hours after trampling on the protected rights of ordinary Nigerian citizens. Fashola, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, sought refuge in the principles of separation of powers when protesting a call for the national government to review his reckless acts. The validity of contested provision is not in doubt, yes Fashola have state police powers. However, he has absolutely no powers on earth to deport a fellow citizen! The right of citizenship is inalienable and remains the fundamental principle of society. Today, with evil power-drunk dictators, like Babatunde Fashola, those rights mean little in Nigeria.
Somebody should whisper into the ears of Fashola that the ultimate purpose of separation of powers is to protect the liberty and security of the governed, as opposed to giving him the unfettered discretion to decide who to forcefully kidnap and deport to any place of his choice.
To understand the game that Fashola is playing, we may have to take a big leap to the past to see how our leaders, treat citizens (citizens is often viewed as a derogatory term by corrupt politicians).
DEPORTATION OF ALHAJI SHUGABA ABDULRAHAM
My first encounter with this ugly fact was as an eavesdropper in a conversation between my father and a gentleman. The man, a radical (a term often used by the government to discredit social critics), had then asked my father, the worst possible thing that the government can do to a Nigerian citizen. My fathers of blessed memories, was quick with his answer, denial of the right of citizenship. In complete shock and horror, I listened as my father narrated the story of Alhaji Abdulraham Shugaba.
During the years of "Shagari –Democracy" a one-party dictatorship similar to what we have now, NPN was in power. Shugaba, a member of the opposition party, GNPP was a strong opponent of the all-powerful NPN in Bornu State. He was a very flamboyant orator whose populist agenda appealed to his constituents. Shugaba, became too popular and could not be rigged-out by the NPN (then with a slogan, NPN-POWER!). Shugaba was a huge challenge to the power of NPN to rig in any politician of their choice.
Through a scheme and a series of political intrigues that will even baffle a hard-core Machiavellian, he was labeled a citizen of a neighboring country, Chad. Undeterred, he blasted the NPN rigging machines and called them citizens of Hell.
Black-market court injunctions were hurriedly purchased by the NPN, preventing him from contesting elections based on lack of, Nigerian citizenship! A determined Shugaba, painstakingly and successfully challenged most of the early injunctions. His success at the tribunals outraged the ruling oppressors.
His detractors became more desperate that he could have ever imagined. NPN, purchased another decision with a deportation order, without procedural due process. Before, Shugaba could say, “appeal,” Security agents were in his house very early in the morning, all armed to the teeth. Before the embattled Shugaba could say "what-up?" he was whisked away in his sleeping clothes (half-naked, barefooted) and deported to Chad. The protests of the Chadian government, that, Shugaba is not from Chad, met the unsympathetic ears of the ruling class.
The sensibilities and conscience of Nigerians were agitated, that was then, before the current state of hopelessness. A group of people with similar political interests mounted a legal defense. It went all the way to the Supreme Court, thank goodness, the apex court overturned the deportation order.
Monetary damages were awarded to the obviously rattled Shugaba, no amount of money can compensate one for such blatant and traumatic ordeal. The sad thing is that, Shugaba had to overcome high artificial obstacles before he was given a fraction of the court award. The result was again surprised, oppressive leaders found a weapon of choice, deportation.
DEPORTATION AS A WEAPON BY IBB - PATRICK WILMOT.
When a professor in ABU, Patrick Wilmot, became critical of the excess of Babangida, the man called Maradonna simply laughed. Nigerians watched helplessly when without any due consideration to his legal status, Babangida deported the hapless professor.
GOV. BABATUNDE FASHOLA’S FORCEFULLY SEIZURE, AND “DEPORTATION” OF FELLOW NIGERIANS THE HEIGHT OF CITIZEN ABUSE.
Now, the ruling class is moving it notches higher, of course in geometrical progression. Deportation based on poverty, is even worse that the above cases and that is exactly what Fashola is doing, period. What the man who at the bare minimum understands the meaning of human rights is doing is unreasonable or more obnoxious to Nigerian constitution which he once swore to uphold.
When Gov. Babs Fashola started his new wave of violating fundamental human rights of Nigerians, he did by deporting, Northerners. His rationale for the deportation was "to free the state of the destitute and beggars, and who are mostly from the northern part of the country." Some of us cried out in shock. This argument remains the most heart-breaking argument proffered by any person anywhere in the world for an egregious constitutional breach. One of the most important duties of a government is to improve the welfare of the citizens, including the poor, rather than do that, Fashola is not only trampling of the rights of the poor, but committing mass-murder. Some of these people will die off out of frustration.
After listening for a while, and sensing that Nigerians have forgotten. Fashola then embarked on a new wave. This time just like in the first exercise, he looks at people faces, and decided that they are likely from Anambah State, and deported all of them.
Even if one grudgingly listen to Fashola’s belated argument of “Welfare,” what type of welfare is he providing by forcefully deporting them from a place they call home. Fashola is eager to welcome the rich who swell the huge purse of his godfather with monies taken through taxes, levies and penalties for unlawfully confiscated goods, yet he cannot even use a small percentage of the fund to provide basic amenities for the poor. The quick-fix is deportation.
THE WRONGFUL ACT OF FASHOLA IS NOT DEPORTATION BUT KIDNAPPING
Simple definitions with very little explanation:
The expulsion of an undesirable alien from a country! Therefore, to be deported, one has to be expelled from another country where he is an alien. Never in the history of mankind has a man been deported from his own country! If there is genuine dispute as to the citizenship of the deported, the court ought to resolve it, not the executive. That is exactly why we have anti-aggrandizement principle.
The crime of unlawfully seizing and carrying away a person by force or Fraud, or seizing and detaining a person against his or her will with an intent to carry that person away at a later time. See http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/kidnapping
The situation even when viewed in a light most favorable to Babatunde Fashola, will still be kidnapping. The formulation of illegal deportation decrees in these type of cases presents problems of considerable complexity. Any public policy consideration of appropriate goal of freeing the state of destitute must necessarily be subordinated to the primary question -- the constitutionality of a dictatorial state governor trampling in a most egregious manner, on the constitutional rights of Nigerian citizens. Such an act is a violation equal protection of the laws and the most basic right, fundamental human rights.

Only 14 destitutes returned to Anambra –Fashola
CNPP cautions Obi over backlash
Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State yesterday cleared the air on the controversies trailing the alleged forceful ejection of some Igbo from the state, saying only 14 destitutes were picked on the streets, ehabilitated and resettled back to their state.
Governor Fashola thus distanced the state’s government from the claim that those resettled were 67 or 72.
Fashola who also disclosed that he just ordered the rehabilitation of a mad woman who was allegedly impregnated by unknown person in Oshodi, said the state’s government’s care for its residents had no ethnic or political colouration.
Meanwhile, the Lagos State chapter of the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) has urged Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State not to allow the controversy cause rancour between Igbo and Yoruba in Lagos.
In a statement signed by the state’s chairman of CNPP, Hon Akinola Obadia, the group said that the issue should not be allowed to cause disaffection among the Igbo people living in the state with their Yoruba neighbours.
The CNPP also warned against tribalising the alleged deportation issue. The statement reads in part: “We in the CNPP have gone extra mile to find out the fact from government source on the issue of the return of destitutes in the state to their states of origin.
We decided to make a clean breast of the matter against the disinformation and rumour some people are making.”
Speaking during a visit of Aka Ikenga, Igbo community in Lagos to his office in Alausa, Ikeja, Fashola said what happened was indeed minor issue that had been exaggerated to score cheap political gain.
Explaining the genesis of the controversy, Fashola recalled that there was correspondence between the Lagos State Government and the Anambra State liaison in Lagos.
Governor Fashola explained that his Anambra State counterpart could not claim ignorance of the whole matter.
BRF: Is Lagos State Still Working?
Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola: Is Lagos State Still Working?
You were a reference point, some even compare you with Cassius Longinus- philosopher and rhetorician, described as a "a living library and a walking museum".
You define style, you were a syllabus other states study, your simplicity, style of governance, traffic management, road management, environment, water transportation, housing, metro rail line project, education, health, public service were areas other states in Nigeria tried copying.
With your Better Re-assuring Future to Before Retiring Finally in 2015, is Lagos State still working? Your 1st term was an endless footprints on the sands of Lagos State history You break barriers, you were honored locally and internationally, as the world stand aside to let BRF passes , because you knows where you were going.
In your second term, it seems Lagos all these giant strides has virtually left to be wallowed. Through political bickering and manoeuvrings, your erstwhile deputy governor was replaced, and possibly you could not worked with the present one.
BRF, Lagosians are still dumfounded! Eko tin baje o! [Lagos is no longer working}. The Atlantic City, Lekki Free Trade Zone, are indeed an endless footprints of yours on the sand of Lagos State. The street sign posts in some areas has been abandoned. Most people were actually swayed to ACN because of your attributes and accomplishments.
Your second term is indeed not as vibrant as the first term, the political bickering and manoeuvrings that is already playing itself out in Lagos State to some, may be the reason why you have soft pedaled on consolidating on your unrivaled accomplishments. You are not serving any semi-god or godfather, but your service is to Lagosians by leaving an endurable, unrivaled, undeniable endless footprints of BRF on the sand of Lagos State now Before Retiring Finally!
You surrounded yourself with intellectuals, you established yourself in the minds of Lagosians as a master of initiatives, your voice is strong and harmonious, your manly understanding is strengthened and adorned with study.
And for those who have tied down your advancement, remind them; it was just as certain Indian wise man had observed: "O King Alexander, each man possess just so much of the earth as this one which we stand; and you being a man like other man, save that you are full of activity and relentless are roaming over, all the earth far from your home, troubling yourself, and troubling others. But not so long hence you will die, and will posses just so much of the earth as suffices for your burial."
BRF, Before Finally Retiring, Is Lagos State still working? Eko tin baje o!
My hopes for 2015: BRF/Tambuwal Ticket!

Governor Fashola Is Turning A Bad Governor?
How can Nigerians be governed with this high level of cruelty by means of obnoxious laws here and there? Why is it that laws are executed with the speed like that of an angry hunting lion when it has to do with the poor in this country but when it concerns the bigger criminals in the name of political leaders and elites every government begins to form committees that never find them guilty? Why this impunity of recklessness?
Why is it that Nigerian leaders at various levels are very insensitive to the cry of the people, but yet expect to win the war against crime and social vices? Objectively speaking, how can Nigeria’s “vision 2020” policy of being one of the world’s leading political and economical powers in 2020 be realizable when Nigerian average citizens still live under $1 per day and their leaders do not see them as partners but rather treat issues concerning them like masters and slaves?
"I do not know if Governor Fashola
is aware that as his agents destroyed
those thousands of 'okadas' that they
also destroyed many homes,
shattered many dreams, jeopardized
the future of many children and created
more hooligans and criminals."
What have we Nigerians done wrong to our leaders?
Who is advising Governor Fashola with this heinous law to ban commercial motorcyclists popularly known as ’okadas’ in Lagos State without first of all honestly providing an alternative? This law is nasty and has got no human face. I was shocked and felt sick when I saw thousands destroyed motorcycles proudly displayed to news men/women as an achievement by the agents of Governor Fashola as ’okadas’ of those that failed the traffic laws. Oh, my heart bleeds! I do not know if Governor Fashola is aware that as his agents destroyed those thousands of 'okadas' that they also destroyed many homes, shattered many dreams, jeopardized the future of many children and created more hooligans and criminals.
By Nigerian standard of governance and development, Governor Fashola is one of the very few governors in Nigeria that I still respect and that is why I am making my stand known. Can somebody please tell Governor Fashola that he has at this juncture woefully failed the people because the reason of banning ‘okadas’ is shallow and laughable? If part of the reasons of banning commercial 'okada' operators was because many of the riders were engaged in nefarious activities with their ‘okadas’, can we now say because of some people that may be thieving politicians in Lagos State government that we should stop to have a government in Lagos State?
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo said that there are rogues and thieves at the National Assemblies. Can we now ban law making in Nigeria because of many of these merciless Nigerian law makers in the National Assemblies whose primary interests as evidence has shown have always been to increase their salaries without recourse to its effect on the nation and without plans to make laws that could rehabilitate the shameful health system in Nigeria or to build railways or undergrounds in order to make the everyday agony life of the poor Nigerians easier that ignited the 'okada' business? Can we say because there are too many air crashes in Nigeria due to the fact that a few individuals assigned with the responsibility to certify that planes are in very good conditions before they are put in use have collected bribes in order to allow coffins to airlift Nigerians ban the use of aircrafts? Or can we because of numerous motor accidents in Nigeria as a result of the failures of government at various levels ban the use of motors?
"The ban of ‘okadas’ from
Delta State to Lagos State
or anywhere in Nigeria under
any guise is an economic
murder on the part of the
poor masses."
Governor Fashola said that it was because of many ‘okada’ accidents that made him ban commercial motorcyclists. What did he do to reduce the number of accidents before this unfounded action? Is it not the responsibility of every government to find out the causes of problems? Did Governor Fashola’s government try to find out why there were many 'okada' accident cases? Do the agents of the governor, ‘LASMA’ who is the body of the executioners of this unfriendly law have the ordinary alcohol testing instruments in order to examine and know who is driving under the influence of alcohol on Lagos roads especially when an accident occurs? Did the government of Governor Fashola provide standard traffic signs and speed limits on all the roads he has banned ‘okadas’? Can Governor Fashiola scientifically prove how many of these ’okada’ riders are qualified riders or that are mentally stable to use motorcycles?
Take sentiments and emotions away from the fact that there have been 'okada' accidents and ’okada’ related robberies and look at the issue critically. If Governor Fashola did not carry out all these vital elementary assignments, how sound would it be for him to stand up one morning and ban ‘okada’ operators? If Governor Fashola cannot comfortably provide answers to the aforementioned questions; can he now see that the people did not fail but rather the inability of the Lagos State government not to have thoroughly viewed the issue and come up with an impeccable solution that failed the masses? The social implication of this decision is devastating on the people and can never address the issue of accidents he raised until his government takes a very reasonable measure to control and discipline many Lagosians whom out of ignorance or stupidity have formed the habits of navigating bicycles, tricycles, motorcycles or motors under the heavy influence of alcohol, hard drugs or without licences.
What Lagos State government or other states where they have banned ’okadas’ should have done in this situation should have been to research first and then look for a fair and logical method of arriving at a resolution that should not be more harmful to the society than the problem/s they were trying to avoid after also due consideration that it was unemployment that led to the ’okada’ business in the first place. Because even up to the late 80s we did not have commercial ’okadas’, therefore, government agents should have figured out carefully on how a few miscreants in their midst should have been identified and dealt with accordingly without raising tension instead of this indiscriminate ban.
If Governor Fashola continues to refuse to reverse this anti-masses law, the governor may have indirectly advocated that Nigerian banks should be closed because there are some bank managers who cooperate with fraudsters to steal millions or some workers of some banks who work with criminals by informing them when, where and how to break their banks and steal monies. If this obnoxious law is allowed to stand, Governor Fashola has equally advocated that the Nigeria police should be closed because there are many criminals and bribe takers in their midst whose work also has been to gather false evidences against helpless poor Nigerians. Some Nigerian military men/women have been dismissed from service, charged to court and found guilty as criminals. Consequently, the military should also be scraped in Nigeria because they are equally a failure since some of them supply sophisticated arms to armed robbers to kill and wreak havoc on Nigerians in the night in return for money while some of them have been accused to be sponsors, informants and trainers of Boko Haram.
I feel pained to see that Governor Fashola has quickly started to play over our collective intelligence with a massive campaign that since the ban of commercial ‘okadas’ that the number of accidents has reduced in Lagos State, but decided to remain silent whether crime reduced or increased.
"... a day shall come when Lagosians
will remind him (Fashola) this issue like the way
Nigerians have kept on reminding IBB
the annulment of June 12 that has
irredeemably murdered his political
return to ‘Aso Rock’."
Governor Fashola, do not forget that directly or indirectly you used the same ’okada’ people during your election campaign for votes. Why did you not ban 'okadas' before the 2011 election? Contrarily you made a law for all 'okada' riders and their passengers to be on safety gadgets before they could operate in LagosState? Which was good anyway? Could that law have been a mistake on the side of your government or a calculated attempt to deceptively win the confidence and the vote of the 'okada' riders? Most of the 'okada' riders who bought their motorcycles under credit or ‘higher purchase’ borrowed money to comply to your order and now that you are comfortably seating as the executive governor of Lagos State not only that you have stopped their source of daily bread but have also destroyed their production companies ('okadas') living them to gnash their teeth in pains and agony without anybody to turn to.
Because in Nigeria everything is possible, therefore, dear Governor Fashola, could it be that the idea of safety gadgets was not well thought of when you came up with the policy or that some people in your cabinet could have imported helmets without your knowledge and had mounted pressure for the implementation of the helmet law through advice so that their business could flourish? And now, perhaps the business of helmets seems no longer lucrative they have again channeled their deceptive policy somewhere and ‘okada’ operators and their families can go to hell.
Dear Governor Fashola, this is a message from your fellow governor who also happens to be in the same party “ACN” like you, Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State , “I think it’s, for me, a class issue and I belong to the working class, so I cannot ban ‘okada’. First, I believe that ‘okada’ is a response to certain deficit in our intra-urban transportation system. From the 60s to the 70s to the 80s, we never had ‘okada’. If you ask a lady to take a ride on a motorbike it was like a taboo. Now it has became fashionable to have a woman and two children on top of a bike. It is not a culture choice. It is as a result of deficit in our intra-city transportation system.”
Dear Governor Fashola, I appeal to you like many others to please reverse this policy because a good leader must have good listening ears. Do not allow us to begin to compare you with the worst governor in Nigeria , Dr. T. A. Orji of Abia State who has unnecessarily channeled all his energy in social attacks against Dr. Orji Uzo Kalu instead of working for Abians.
A governor that one of his best achievements so far was the sacking of all non indigene workers from other eastern states because of bad advisers should not be the kind of governor we should compare Governor Fashola with. One hopes that Governor Fashola is not taking this direction and is listening to the voice of reasoning.
The ban of ‘okadas’ from Delta State to Lagos State or anywhere in Nigeria under any guise is an economic murder on the part of the poor masses. However, if Governor Fashola insists not to heed to the plea of the people, well, we will grudgingly and helplessly succumb to his wish, but he should understand that he has only used his position and might against us but has not won our respect and that a day shall come when Lagosians will remind him this issue like the way Nigerians have kept on reminding IBB the annulment of June 12 that has irredeemably murdered his political return to ‘Aso Rock’.
May God bless Governor Fashola, bless Lagos State and bless Nigeria !

Gov. Fashola Paper delivered at Achebe Colloquium on Africa 2012
Role of statecraft in the African Renaissance amidst regime change and ethno-religious insurgency - A West African Case Study
Being a paper delivered by Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, at the 2012 Achebe Colloquium on Africa held at Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island USA on Friday December 7, 2012
AFRICA Rising - That is the headline of last week's cover of Time Magazine. It is for me an appropriate place to start my discussion on the theme "Governance, Security and Peace in Africa"; and if I might say so at the onset, it is a somewhat misleading if not patronizing headline.
I say this because, students of world history will know that the story of our planet is one of the rise and fall of civilization and empires.
Civilizations and empires have thrived and floundered on the basis of the challenges of their time, when they peak or fall; and what men or women do or fail to do. And I propose to discuss this in some fuller detail as I deal with the subject of institutions. But I must emphasize that Greece, which is one of the Europe's poorest and highly indebted nations today, was once at the zenith of human civilization.
The heart of the Roman Empire which gave the world one of its most enduring legacies of law, was situated in what is modern day Italy and is currently a struggling economy.
But we have not heard the last of Italy or Greece. In the way that Germany rose from the ruins of two World Wars to become Europe's super power house today, we have seen the renaissance of a Ming Dynasty that took almost 5,000 years to re-discover herself in the renaissance of China.
Africa is not rising; it is experiencing a renaissance again. The sustainability will be determined by what men and women do or fail to do
So contrary to a rising Africa, I see the renaissance of a region that once boasted the amazing engineering feats of the Egyptian pyramids when there were no super cranes and a place where Timbuktu in modern day Mali, was once the place to be for science, mathematics and learning.
Africa is not rising; it is experiencing a renaissance again. The sustainability will be determined by what men and women do or fail to do.
This is the platform from which I propose to address my sub-theme of "Regime Change, Ethno-Religious Insurgency and State-craft in the 21st Century with my focus on West Africa.
Let me start by submitting that I have read enough history and seen a lot of conflict in almost five decades on earth to come to the clear conclusion, that all conflicts are fuelled by the desire for dominance, territorial control, economic benefit for self or allies.
I am convinced that in whatever garment these conflicts are dressed, whether ethnic or religious, those cloaks are only designed to whip up a sense of identity and support towards a cause they often may not understand.
West Africa, as the name suggests is a sub region of Africa that has 16 (sixteen) countries who are independent nations. Collectively they have a population of approximately 300,000,000 (three hundred million)people whose lands are blessed with all types of natural resources such as oil, gas, coffee, cocoa, timber, gold, to mention a few and access to water especially the Atlantic Ocean.
It is important to mention this so that there is clarity about abundance of human and natural resources. Some of the oldest and foremost learning institutions such as the Fourah Bay College and the many learning centres such as in Old Timbuktu are located in this region.
In the last few decades they formed an economic block, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) for short, almost like the European Union to deepen economic trade.
But ironically, this region has until recently made global headlines for the wrong reasons. Apart from hunger and poverty experienced by a people so blessed; and I am not happy to say this, peacekeeping operations have consumed several millions of dollars as perhaps the only successes that can come out of a region of such vast resources.
These are peacekeeping missions to end the mindless slaughter of innocent men, women and children who have been victims of mindless orgies of violence in the pursuit of crass and brazen ambition under the guise of attempted governance. Sierra Leone and Liberia once very free, peaceful and historic settlements for their roles in the end of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and the redevelopment of the African human capital through education, have lost their innocence forever.
While the healing process and rebuilding continues at a pace that encourages hope, there are scars that will never go away. My own country Nigeria faced a bloody civil war about which I will say a word or two,Ivory Coast was not spared; neither was Ghana, in the mindless toppling of regime after regime in the 1980s and several execution of leaders and the displacement of millions of citizens who became refugees outside their homeland.
Yes, many Ghanaian professionals became shoemakers, drivers, odd job men and women in my own country when I was a teenager because their country failed them. All these are now in the past. The old Gold Coast of Africa is back. The Ashanti Dynasty is not rising. It is experiencing a renaissance. What lies at the heart of all this conflict for me is a difficult question; and from here I have to be careful what I say so that I am not misunderstood.
Before the colonization of Africa in the late 19th Century, many of these nations were several kingdoms with kings and emperors.
We must remember that succession was by conquest and it is possible to rationalize what we have today on that basis. However, it is important to also explain what I think compounds the problem.
A good idea, whose frontiers are being tested to the limit. Liberal Democracy. In my view, there is yet to be a better form of organizing the affairs of a multitude of men than a representative democracy.
My worry is whether an idea conceived by men can last forever. Democracy has survived many ages. The Agrarian Age, the Industrial Age and it has merged with other philosophies like capitalism and moved into the age of information technology and now globalization.
It faces perhaps its biggest threat yet by the effects of technology and globalization which both test the limits of freedom. The success or otherwise of this model of governance has been the Achilles heel of the political stability of West Africa.
It is possible to argue that the African concept of communal existence, sharing and conciliation were shaken to their foundations by the winner takes all that elections produce in a democratic setting. While I may be wrong, and I hope that I am, it is a study that I hope will be undertaken. Those who are products of ancestors who ruled as kings and emperors may seem somewhat perplexed that they cannot share the Court of a successful winner after an election; and must, therefore, accept the economically unrewarding role of opposition, at least until the next elections are called.
Human endeavour and conflict
Really and truly, all human endeavor and conflict about a better life, but the irony is that the concept of a better life is itself amorphous and difficult to define. One might wonder for example why the people of the Western economies with all their infrastructure and progress, which are many miles ahead of what you will find in many parts of Africa are still agitating for a better life.
Happily for me, I am able to say that in spite of the difficulties many parts of West Africa are democratizing and with that, political stability is emerging and we are seeing development. Sierra Leone just conducted peaceful elections for the second time after many years of conflict.
The evidence of political stability stares every person in face as one witnesses the block by block rebuilding of a once peaceful country whose infrastructure was ravaged by conflict induced by regime change.
The question therefore is this:- In the light of the progress being witnessed in many parts of democratizing West Africa, is democracy the answer or the missing link to unlocking the vast opportunities in West Africa. Yes, democracy will, on the basis of the available evidence of what has been done under it, be critical to achieving the goal. On its own, it will not suffice to solve the problem.
In spite of democratic structures in Mali and with only a few months to general elections a few people still ganged up to seize power, with an official statement that they wanted to change things. The question on everyone's lips was: why not wait for the general elections that were so close; to effect the change by the ballot? The answer may be long in coming.
Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN - Governor of Lagos State of Nigeria.
Is Fashola still working?
Travelling on Nigerian highways these days can be suicidal. It is not just because of the deplorable condition of the inter-state highways. The problem is more about the madness of commercial vehicle operators, lurking bandits and other bands of criminals. The horrible condition of the vehicles also makes them contraptions that had seen better days and only fit for junkyards. Yet, the drivers flout traffic rules and regulations with impunity and speed as if on a race track and even while driving against traffic, since their belief that committing crimes in Nigeria is about cash and carry.
The madness is not limited to our roads. There is confusion everywhere, as social vices of unequal proportions have taken over. Indeed, the state, its agencies and hired hands have become what some have referred to as attack dogs to the citizens. Persons with questionable characters, donning on all manner of uniforms, harassing, molesting and physically assaulting millions of innocent and law-abiding citizens, lurk around nooks and crannies of our major cities. In some cases, the terror gang members are known faces within the neighbourhoods as hardened criminals and deviants, but who have beat all rules and regulations to be enlisted and hired by politicians, government agencies and mushroom organisations to foment trouble and further disorganise the society.
I have chosen the Lagos State governor, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) as a metaphor in this piece to illustrate my deep concern on the ugly activities of anti-social elements across the country. I doff my hat for him [Fashola] for the appreciable strides he has been able to record so far. As a human being, he cannot claim to be perfect because a couple of his policies have been more injurious than helpful to the vast human Lagos population. But generally, he has played his part and one can only hope that his successor would consolidate on those gains.
But I am being compelled to ask, if Lagos metaphorically speaking is still working? Before now, the joke in many quarters was that Lagos was working, while other states are sleeping. Inasmuch as the joke is still valid, he and many of his colleagues in power need to take a look at one area I find quite horrifying and disturbing, which many of the governors, especially in the South-West must take a firm, decisive and courageous step before it is too late. It is the activities of the ubiquitous okada riders in the cities.
I was among those, who initially opposed the decision of some states to ban the activities of commercial motorcyclists by some governors, because of the high rate of unemployment in the country. I had also expressed reservation when the Fashola decided to restrict their movement to certain routes and parts of Lagos metropolis. My position then was that we needed to fix basic infrastructure, create more job opportunities and guarantee conducive environment for economic growth and development before taking some tougher measures. This was because most of the okada riders were artisans who have had to suspend their original trade because of the collapsed power sector. Others, including graduates from our higher institutions of learning, also had to resort to it after fruitless search for white collar jobs.
Whereas some of these challenges still exist now, we cannot continue to mortgage the peace, safety and security of the larger population because of the interest of the negligible population of okada riders in our midst. An outright ban on commercial cyclists from operating in our cities is necessary because of the havoc they wreak on the people. They are causing more harm to the psyche and body of the nation almost akin to the mental torture currently occasioned by the insurgency in the Northern part of the country. Their operations should be restricted to rural communities and properly regulated by the authorities as they intensify efforts at revitalising and reorganising the other critical sectors of transportation. It is obvious that incidents involving okada riders are being under reported going by the huge number of human casualties being recorded in public hospitals. Many people have gory tales to tell on their encounter with bandits posing genuine commercial cyclists.
Another menace on our roads in particularly Lagos and Ibadan, two strategic cities in the South-West is the swarm of motorpark touts at most bus stops and streets. Brandishing canes and horse whips, the touts harass and often engage drivers and passengers in bloody brawls even in the presence of regular policemen and anti-crime patrol personnel. While the sale and purchase of marijuana and alcohol is at their call and beckon at parks, their sources of lethal weapons during minor family disputes are a cause for worry.
It is difficult to ascertain the number of deaths resulting from the activities of Okada riders, but suffice to say that they have been more responsible for many avoidable crashes and killings in the country. Just last week, the editor of Daily Sun, Mr. Steve Nwosu, escaped death by a hair’s breadth when robbers operating on an okada attacked him as hot lead narrowly missed his skull. Just on Sunday in Lagos, the editor of the Nigerian Compass, Gabriel Akinadewo, was held hostage by bandits, who later made away with his invaluable.
Today, okada riders, motorpark touts, miscreants claiming to be agents of local councils and state government have swooped on the roads of Lagos, Ibadan and other towns in the South-West. Touts dictate fares to drivers and passengers, front for policemen by collecting money from commercial vehicles for ‘security,’ colonise bus stops, while okada riders rob with ease. In all these instances, these miscreants have succeeded in turning the Center of Execellence to heartache for the country. And one of the reasons is that we have continued to legislate even armed robbers to lionize themselves through all forms of amorphous s and associations. Now, we have associations for pepper seller, onion dealers, agberos, okirika [bend-down-select-boutique or tokunbo clothes] association, ewedu sellers, fura du nunu sellers association and name it, with each of them holding the rest of the population to ransom in their homes and sometimes committing gruesome murders!

Using Iridescence
Iridescence is what we see on the surface of an oil slick when the sun shines on it. The rainbow effect is created by something called thin-film interference (read section "Iridescence" for details). For now let's just try using it. Iridescence is specified by the irid keyword and three values: amount, thickness and turbulence. The amount is the contribution to the overall surface color. Usually 0.1 to 0.5 is sufficient here. The thickness affects the busyness of the effect. Keep this between 0.25 and 1 for best results. The turbulence is a little different from pigment or normal turbulence. We cannot set octaves, lambda or omega but we can specify an amount which will affect the thickness in a slightly different way from the thickness value. Values between 0.25 and 1 work best here too. Finally, iridescence will respond to the surface normal since it depends on the angle of incidence of the light rays striking the surface. With all of this in mind, let's add some iridescence to our glass sphere.
sphere { <0,0,0>, 1 pigment { White filter 1 } finish { ambient .1 diffuse .1 reflection .2 refraction 1 ior 1.5 specular 1 roughness .001 fade_distance 5 fade_power 1 caustics 1 irid { 0.35 thickness .5 turbulence .5 } } }
We try to vary the values for amount, thickness and turbulence to see what changes they make. We also try to add a normal block to see what happens.
Important notice: The halo feature in POV-Ray 3.0 is somewhat experimental. There is a high probability that the design and implementation of these features will be changed in future versions. We cannot guarantee that scenes using these features in 3.0 will render identically in future releases or that full backwards compatibility of language syntax can be maintained.
Halos are a powerful feature that can be used to create a lot of different effects like clouds, fogs, fire, lasers, etc. The name actually comes from the ability to render halos with it, like the ones seen around the moon or the sun.
Due to the complexity of the halo feature and the large amount of parameters provided it is very difficult to get satisfying results. The following sections will help to create a halo step by step, starting with the basic things and going to the more subtle stuff.
It is also helpful to read the halo reference sections to get a better understanding of the halo feature. One should especially read the sections "Empty and Solid Objects" and "Halo Mapping" because they are essential for understanding halos.
What are Halos?
Halos are a texture feature allowing us to fill the interior of an object with particles. The distribution of these particles can be modified using several density mappings and density functions. The particles can emit light to give fire- or laser-like effects or they can absorb light to create clouds or fog.
A halo is attached to an object, the so called container object, just like a pigment, normal or finish. The container object is completely filled by the halo but we will not see anything if we do not make sure that the object is hollow and the surface is translucent. How this is accomplished will be shown in the next section.
When working with halos we always have to keep in mind that the container object has to be hollow and translucent.
The Emitting Halo
We start with one of the simpler types, the emitting halo. It uses particles that only emit light. There are no particles that absorb the light coming from other particles or light sources.
Section 4.8.5.2.1
Starting with a Basic Halo
A clever approach in designing a nice halo effect is to start with a simple, unit-sized shape that sits on the coordinate system's origin.
In the first example (halo01.pov) we try to create a fiery explosion, which the sphere is best suited for. We start with a simple scene consisting of a camera, a light source (we don't care about shadows so we add the shadowless keyword), a checkered plane and a unit-sized sphere containing the halo.
camera { location <0, 0, -2.5> look_at <0, 0, 0> } light_source { <10, 10, -10> color rgb 1 shadowless } plane { z, 2 pigment { checker color rgb 0, color rgb 1 } finish { ambient 1 diffuse 0 } scale 0.5 hollow } sphere { 0, 1 pigment { color rgbt <1, 1, 1, 1> } halo { emitting spherical_mapping linear color_map { [ 0 color rgbt <1, 0, 0, 1> ] [ 1 color rgbt <1, 1, 0, 0> ] } samples 10 } hollow }
We note that the sphere is set to be hollow and has a translucent surface (the transmittance channel in the pigment's color is 1), just like it is required for halos. We also note that the plane has a hollow keyword even though it has no halo. Why is this necessary?
The reason is quite simple. As described in section "Empty and Solid Objects" there can be no halo inside any other non-hollow object. Since the camera is inside the plane object, i. e. it is on the side of the plane that is considered to be inside, the halo will never be visible unless the plane is made hollow (or the negative keyword is added to bring the camera on the outside side of the plane).
What do all those halo keywords and values mean? At the beginning of the halo the emitting keyword is used to specify what type of halo we want to use. The emitting halo emits light. That is what is best suited for our fiery explosion.
The spherical_mapping and linear keywords need a more detailed explanation of how a halo works (this is also done in chapter "Halo" in more detail).
As noted above the halo is made up of lots of small particles. The distribution of these particles is described by a density function. In general, a density function tells us how much particles we'll find at a given location.
Instead of using an explicitly, mathematical density function, halos rely on a given set of density mappings and density functions to model a variety of particle distributions.
The first step in this model is the density mapping function that is used to map three-dimensional points onto a one-dimensional range of values. In our example we use a spherical mapping, i.e. we take the distance of a point from the center of the coordinate system. This is the reason why it is clever to start with a container object sitting on the coordinate system's center. Since all density mappings are made relative to this center we won't see anything if we start with an object sitting somewhere else. Moving the whole object (including textures and halos) to another location is the correct way of placing a container object.
Now we have a single value in the range from 0 to 1. This value will be transformed using a density function to get density values instead of distance values. Just using this single value won't work because we want to have particle distributions were the density decreases as we move from the center of the container object to the outside.
This is done by the density function. There are several alternatives available as described in the halo reference (see section "Density Function"). We use the simple linear function that just maps values between 0 and 1 onto a 1 to 0 range. Thus we get a density value of 1 at the center of our sphere and a value of 0 at its surface.
Now that we have a density function what do we do to see something? This is where the colour_map keyword comes into play. It is used to describe a color map that actually tells the program what colors are to be used for what density. The relation is quite simple: colors at the beginning of the color map (with small values) will be used for low density values and colors at the end of the map (high values) will be used for high densities. In our example the halo will be yellow at the center of the sphere where the density is greatest and it will blend to red at the surface of the sphere where the density approaches zero.
The transmittance channel of the colors in the color map is used to model the translucency of the density field. A value of 0 represents no translucency, i. e. that areas with the corresponding density will be (almost) opaque, while a value of 1 means (almost) total translucency.
In our example we use
color_map { [ 0 color rgbt <1, 0, 0, 1> ] [ 1 color rgbt <1, 1, 0, 0> ] }
which results in a halo with a very translucent, reddish outer area and a nearly opaque, yellowish inner areas as we can see after tracing the example image.
The basic halo used in modelling a fiery explosion.
There is one parameter that still needs to be explained: the samples keyword. This keyword tells POV-Ray how many samples have to be taken along any ray traveling through the halo to calculate its effect. Using a low value will result in a high tracing speed while a high value will lead to a low speed. The sample value has to be increased if the halo looks somewhat noisy, i. e. if some artifacts of the low sampling rate appear. For more details see section "Halo Sampling".
A good starting value for the number of samples is 10.

Skoda Reveals Enyaq iV Exterior In New Teaser
By Dhruvan Naidu
As a company showed the exterior specifications before its global debut on September 1. The Czech car manufacturer’s first all-electric SUV takes a new approach in its design. Skoda has been inspired by years of production of Scala and Kamiq front headlights and the latest generation of Octavia, as the current Skoda Enyaq iV is a headlight.
The new, subtle lights for daytime runs and the new hexagonal shape of the key LED modules strengthens the new Enyaq iV’s character further. Skoda claims that there are ever-changing aspects in the geomechanics and transparent glass surfaces.
The next Enyaq iV is checked by 3-dimensional backlights illuminated with fine light strips. However, lighting graphics are welcome and welcoming on the first look, while the headlights give the first Skoda All-Electric SUV a highly dynamic and futuristic appearance, thanks to the LED technology.
The Enyaq iV was released last year as a version of Skoda’s Vision iV model. It will come on sale in 2021 and by the end of 2022, Skoda is planning to launch at least ten electric models under the iV brand.
The 4660 mm long Kodiaq four-door crossover is based on the MEB platform of the VW group and uses a 306bhp 4-wheel drive EV motor with a range of 500kms and the ability to charge in 30 minutes up to 80 percent.
The first Enyaq model is expected for launch in 2021, and the SUV version is now to arrive first. All releases will be based on the Electric MEB platform of the Volkswagen Group, which will be used by all brands of the group. We can expect a price of roughly 34 000 Euros (approximately Rs 28,29 Lakh), as compared with a mid-to-upper Kodiaq price.

Central and Eastern European Migration Review
Vol. 8, No. 1, 2019
Introduction: Migration and Mobility in the Context of Post-Communist Transition in Central and Eastern Europe
Agata Górny, Paweł Kaczmarczyk
Keywords: migration; CEE; post-communist transition
This special section opens a two-part collection of articles, to be published in two consecutive issues of CEEMR in 2019, looking at various aspects of migration from and into CEE that address the links between mobility and political and economic transition in the region. Its goal is to discuss, on the one hand, the contribution of the migration research conducted in CEE to the broader migration literature and, on the other, to demonstrate region-specific topics. An important inspiration for the preparation of this issue is the 25th anniversary of the Centre of Migration Research (CMR) at the University of Warsaw; this is accompanied by some reflections on how migration studies have developed in Poland and other CEE countries during these years of transition. Since the very beginning, the idea that guided research conducted in the CMR was to analyse migration in a broad socio-economic context and to develop cooperation with the best international teams of migration scholars. Therefore, for this special collection, we invited contributions which demonstrate the development of scientific collaboration between CMR researchers and outstanding European and non-European scholars, as well as articles by international researchers from all over Europe which focus on specific migration topics intersecting with post-communist transition in the CEE region.

Diverse, Fragile and Fragmented: The New Map of European Migration
Russell King, Marek Okólski
Keywords: Europe; phases of migration; political events; asylum-seekers and refugees; migration policy
In this paper we review the significant political events and economic forces shaping contemporary migration within and into Europe. Various data sources are deployed to chronicle five phases of migration affecting the continent over the period 1945–2015: immediate postwar migrations of resettlement, the mass migration of ‘guestworkers’, the phase of economic restructuring and family reunion, asylum-seeking and irregular migration, and the more diverse dynamics unfolding in an enlarged European Union post-2004, not forgetting the spatially variable impact of the 2008 economic crisis. In recent years, in a scenario of rising migration globally, there has been an increase in intra-European migration compared to immigration from outside the continent. However, this may prove to be temporary given the convergence of economic indicators between ‘East’ and ‘West’ within the EU and the European Economic Area, and that ongoing population pressures from the global South, especially Africa, may intensify. Managing these pressures will be a major challenge from the perspective of a demographically shrinking Europe.
Social Remittances and Social Change in Central and Eastern Europe: Embedding Migration in the Study of Society
Anne White, Izabela Grabowska
Keywords: social remittances; Poland; CEE; migration impact; social change
Our article considers social remittances and social change in Central and Eastern Europe. We show how migration scholarship can be embedded into the wider study of social processes and relations. ‘Social remitting’ sometimes seems to be little more than a slippery catchphrase; however, this article defends the concept. If it is defined carefully and used cautiously, it should help the researcher to think about what, in addition to money, is sent from one society to another and exactly how, thus shedding light on important and insufficiently studied aspects of migration. A close-up view of the processes by which ideas, practices, norms, values and, according to some definitions, social capital and social skills are transferred by migrants across international borders helps researchers to understand more precisely how migration contributes to social change or, in some cases, prevents it from occurring. Our article reviews some of the most interesting arguments and findings presented recently by other scholars and discusses aspects of social remitting which particularly interested us in our own research. The context of our research is social change in Poland: we attempt to understand how migration has contributed to wider patterns of social change since 1989 and exactly how it intertwines with other social trends and globalisation influences. This entails a careful focus on both structural conditions and agency and therefore on social remittances.
Do Diasporas Matter? The Growing Role of the Ukrainian Diaspora in the UK and Poland in the Development of the Homeland in Times of War
Iryna Lapshyna
Keywords: Ukrainian diaspora; Euromaidan; the UK; Poland; development
Ukraine has been going through a series of political and economic crises, notably the Euromaidan revolution and the Russian aggression and subsequent economic downturn. These events triggered fresh transnational diaspora-led activities such as the ‘London Euromaidan’ and the ‘Warsaw Euromaidan’. This paper analyses Ukrainian diaspora volunteerism in the UK and Poland and explores how the Ukrainian diaspora engages and contributes economically, socially, politically and culturally to the development of Ukraine. Drawing on fieldwork in both countries, three main findings were identified. First, due to the events in Ukraine, the Ukrainian diaspora has mobilised, grown stronger and became more united, whilst transforming from a more inward-looking to a more outward-looking community which, as a result, is now more and critically engaging with Ukrainian affairs. Second, the Ukrainian diaspora has the willingness, power and resources to contribute to the development of the home country, claiming to be recognised as an important stakeholder in the development of Ukraine. Thirdly, the Ukrainian government’s lack of recognition of the contribution of the Ukrainian diaspora is one of the most significant barriers to more comprehensive diaspora involvement in development.
Snakes or Ladders? Job Quality Assessment among Temp Workers from Ukraine in Hungarian Electronics
Tibor T. Meszmann, Olena Fedyuk
Keywords: migration; precarious employment; temporary work agencies; job quality; Hungary; Ukraine
In contrast to the usual integration of migrant workers in the ‘bottom jobs’ on the labour market, the employment of Ukrainian workers in Hungarian electronics plants seems to take place in a more beneficial way. With the active mediation of temporary (temp) agencies, Ukrainian migrant workers are offered regular blue-collar assembly work, together with the same social rights and benefits as their local Hungarian colleagues. Relying, in our analysis, on the literature on industrial sociology, migration research and global value chains, we are developing a critical perspective in which migration and employment are not seen as separate spheres but as mutually reinforcing each other. We combine bottom-up empirical research based on interviews with workers and a sectoral inquiry on industrial and employment relations in the temp agency sector supplying multinational corporations. Our main argument is that complex contracting also means subtle controlling. Such contracting is not the cheapest form but it creates a different, efficient employment regime with dependent, controllable, flexibly available, ‘fluid’ employees. Employee respondents described their position as dependent, ‘out of control’ and a temporary earning opportunity. Devoid of clear mechanisms for controlling their work conditions or growth within the job, all respondents turned to a more instrumental approach, in which they invested in building up social capital through friendships, networks and personal relationships. Obtaining Hungarian citizenship and learning the language were two other main strategies for dealing with insecurity. Their efforts correspond with and reinforce a more globally integrated but ethnically motivated immigration regime, characteristic of post-socialist Hungary.
(Missing) Bridging Ties and Social Capital? The Creation and Reproduction of Migrants’ Social Network Advantages: The Case of Ukrainian Migrants in Poland
Marta Kindler, Katarzyna Wójcikowska-Baniak
Keywords: social networks; bridging ties; social capital; Ukrainian migrants; Poland; institutional embedding
The paper investigates the mechanisms behind the formation and maintenance of those migrants’ social ties which translate into a particular composition of the network and become a source of social capital. Based on a number of in-depth interviews with Ukrainian migrants in Warsaw, we find that Ukrainian migrants’ networks are based primarily on ties homogenous in regard to nationality, level of education and character of work. The institutional context of social interaction determines with whom migrants form relations and whether these ties become a source of social advancement. The studied migrants do form bridging ties with more experienced, as well as socially and legally embedded persons, mainly other migrants, receiving both instrumental and emotional support.
Nationality and Rationality: Ancestors, ‘Diaspora’ and the Impact of Ethnic Policy in the Country of Emigration on Ethnic Return Migration from Western Ukraine to the Czech Republic
Luděk Jirka
Keywords: ethnic return migration; Czech Republic; West Ukraine; ethnic policy; diaspora
Ethnic return migration is a widespread strategy for migrants from economically disadvantaged countries. This article is about those ethnic return migrants who might successfully migrate thanks to their ancestors; their decision is based upon economic, pragmatic or rationalistic incentives aside from their diasporic feeling of belonging. Although this phenomenon has already been studied, scholars still mostly refer only to the benefits proposed by immigration policy as a key to understanding it. The impact of policy in the country of emigration on ethnic return migration is understudied. This article fills this gap. I found that when the Soviet Union introduced an attractive policy for Ukrainians/Russians in terms of study or work opportunities and the inhabitants in the Ukrainian Soviet Republic were quick to proclaim themselves as Ukrainians or Russians, the dissolution of the Soviet Union quickly changed this motivation. Ukrainians with Czech ancestors started to aim at obtaining official status as Czech members of the diaspora because of the benefits proposed by the Czech government (mainly permanent residency). However, it is difficult to prove the required link to one’s Czech ancestors due to Soviet-era documents in which the column with the Czech nationality of people’s ancestors is often missing. These observations lead to the conclusion that an attractive immigration policy aimed at the diaspora should not be treated as the only comprehensive explanation for ethnic return migration. Ethnic policy in the country of emigration also shapes this kind of migration and – in this concrete case – could even discourage ethnic return migrants.

Following Columbus: Delivering Plant Seeds from Los-Angeles to Krasnodar
From his four expeditions to American shores Columbus brought to Spain dozens of plants and animals that were not known by Europeans. It took years of precise examination and selection to introduce this products in to the European menu, and several centuries to make them common for remote locations in Europe and other continents. Pineapple, sunflower, pumpkin, avocado, zucchini, potatoes, corn, and tomatoes are just few of our favorite foods delivered to us by this great discoverer.
Potatoes brought by Columbus were nothing alike the vegetable we are used too. It had small watery clods, and was taken for decorative plant. First people tried to eat it raw, and used green clods for food, so that the vegetable was declared poisonous. Only in the mid of the 18th century due to the French agriculture's effort potatoes were declared non-poisonous, and full of nutritious properties. Several centuries later, Europe came to know of "ground apples", and during the ruling of Peter the First it was brought to Russia. Nevertheless, Russians refused to eat and to grow this vegetable, believing it caused awful diseases, including Tuberculosis. Couple of centuries later potatoes became second bread for Russians; USSR produced nearly third of world potatoes production.
Just like potatoes tomatoes were believed to be poisonous and decorative plants; Europeans were afraid to eat colorful red berries. Karl Linney in his plants classification called it "solanum likopersikum" which translates from Latin as "wolf's peach". Tomatoes were found on Aztecs' motherland, where it was called "tumantla" ("big berry"), Italians called it "pomidoro" ("golden apple"), and French – "pomme d'amour" ("apple of love"). Tomatoes came to Russia during the ruling of Katherine the II, and only in 1850 were proved to be eatable and useful. From that time tomatoes were planted in the Southern regions of Russia, and scientists started work on selection of plants that could be grown in the Northern part of Russia.
Corn (or mays as it was called by the Native Americans) was one of the first vegetables that were brought by Columbus from the New World. Corn spread across Europe very fast, and its nutrition properties were highly appreciated. High produce and easy growth conditions of corn made it really valuable to agriculture especially compared to rice and wheat. Corn came to Russia in the 17th century, and from the 19th century it started to grow on the Russian fields.
In the beginning of May Delivery World on request of its regular customer delivered lot of the plants seeds from Los Angeles to Krasnodar. Customs procedures are completed, and the first crops start to appear in Krasnodar.

Hania's Story
Hania (not real name) had been out of work for over 6 years. A single mother with a young daughter, she was on benefits and struggling to pay the mortgage on the house she had bought when she was married. Although her benefits covered her basic mortgage payments and council tax she had very little to survive on.
Hania felt trapped because if she started work, the cost of her mortgage and council tax would be too much for her. At the same time, her childcare responsibilities meant she needed to find a job that was flexible but also paid enough to cover her expenses. She didn’t believe this would ever be possible.
Hania came to see Kibria at the Wodeham Community Centre and explained her predicament. Kibria listened and created a detailed record for Hania, detailing her skills, her work experience and her interests. He also noted her requirements for work and together they created an action plan of how to achieve this.
Firstly, Kibria carried out a Better Off Calculation with Hania, this is a computerised tool that shows how work and benefits can be combined to make a person better off financially by working. Kibria proved to Hania that with the right job, she would receive Working Tax Credits that would boost her income, her council tax bill would also be reduced. Hania was surprised and delighted by this – and it motivated her to increase her efforts to find work.
Kibria then helped Hania to identify her strengths, they realised that Hania had a gift for care and social work, she always helped people in her community. Kibria introduced her to a part-time care work training programme which Hania signed up for and completed within 4 weeks. With the training in hand, they applied for care work jobs every week and within a month Hania had secured a part time job.
The job changed Hania’s life, the hours allowed her to work around her daughter’s school routine and the pay and benefits meant she could pay her mortgage and have a money left to spend on her family.
Today Hania is very proud because she has even started to make payments towards reducing her mortgage, which is something she didn’t think was possible.

Shofique’s Story
Shofique was a 19 year old from Tower Hamlets, since dropping out of college, he had been out of work for more than 14 months and was living in sheltered accommodation. The shelter referred Shofique to EF to help build his confidence and get him more active through work or training.
One of the main barriers he faced was an extreme lack of confidence – initially he would not even attend one-to-one sessions with his advisor.
In order to overcome this, the first time his advisor saw Shofique was at at the shelter’s premises. We discussed Shofique’s needs and provided him with a realistic set of aims. After this we encouraged Shofique to attend EF’s office for the next meeting as there were more facilities there. Once Shofique started coming to the office his confidence grew and he started to drop in daily. His consultant was able to discuss many things from benefits matters, housing, family issues and even his hobbies in art.
Shofiques advisor composed a CV for him early on and designed a standard covering letter that he could forward to potential employers. He received interview support in the form of role play / mock interviews and he was supported to apply for work daily.
We tried to help Shofique recocgnize his own strengths – and the communicate those strengths at interviews. Shofique was very nervous and stuttered at interviews. We referred him to see his GP to look at possible treatment options he may have. We also carried out several mock interviews where we covered the most common questions and practiced his best response until he felt comfortable.
Finally, we also encouraged Shofique to canvas his friends, acquatances and advice staff about vacancies – and be on guard for work opportunities at all times.
In this way, he approached the receptionist at his local Youth centre, where he was a regular. They referred Shofique to the manager, who happened to be looking for an Office Junior – the happy coincidence lead Shofique to his first paid job.

Summi had been out of work for three years. After getting married and having a baby, her husband had been against the idea of her working – so she left her job. Unfortunately, her marriage broke down in this time and she found herself alone in an unthinkable situation. Learn More
Summi’s Story
Summi had been out of work for three years. After getting married and having a baby, her husband had been against the idea of her working – so she left her job. Unfortunately, her marriage broke down in this time and she found herself alone in an unthinkable situation.
As a lone parent from a Bangladeshi family, she found it difficult to convince her family that going back to work was a good idea. Her mum was available to look after her child but she felt it was improper to ask her to do so.
Summi read about Employment First in one of our newsletters distributed at local youth clubs, women’s centres and by our local housing partners. She approached her advisor at the Jagonari Women’s Centre, who in turn referred her to Employment First.
The EF advisor supported Summi with advice, motivation, training and practical support. Initially, we sat down with Summi and closely analysed the barriers to work she faced. Summi’s biggest obstacle was her mindset – that asking anyone to look after her child was wrong despite her need to work. We encouraged Summi to find solutions to her childcare situation and looked for jobs that fitted around her commitments.
Her consultant created a new CV, highlighting her work and voluntary experiences and teaching her to see the employer-relevant aspects to her activities in the last few years. For example, Summi felt she had done no work for 3 years, and that period was a blank on her CV. Her consultant advised her that looking after her child, arranging care and benefits for her parents were all good examples of practical skills we could highlight on her CV.
Through this principal we also tailored Summi’s interview training, encouraging her to speak about her real experiences to employers and the real world skills these helped her gain.
Her Employment Mentor also arranged a work placement for Summi at the office of a local insurance company. The employer was fully aware of Summi’s situation and the work placement was kept flexible to support her needs.
In this time, she got to know the team and began getting used to the routine of working life again. We also felt that this would allow Summi to to demonstrate to herself and her family that she could manage a work life without disadvantaging her child.
Following her work placement, the employer was so pleased with Summi’s ability to fit in with their team they offered her a paid part time role. Summi also found that with her child now in nursery, her mother was better able to mind her during work days. Today Summi says she feels she has come out of dark hole that she never could see a way out of.

Kickball Rules
Base Coaches
Cancelled Games
Mercy Rules
Fair and Fouls
Bases will be spaced 60 feet apart.
The pitcher's mound will be in the center of the infield, equidistant from the 3 bases and home plate.
Foul Territory is any part of the field not between the first base and third base baselines.
Optional Extra Base — When the option of using this field setup is selected by the league coordinator for a season of play, this extra base must be used for all games of that league's regular season and league tournament games. If the extra base is used:
The extra base is only available for runners travelling from home plate;
Fielders trying to make an out on first base must touch the base in fair territory (the first base). Runners hindered by a fielder touching the base in foul territory (the extra base), will be safe;
When a play is attempted at first base, a runner who touches the first base prior to being called safe at the extra base shall be called out;
Once a runner has reached first base safely the runner must start the next play on the first base. Any runner standing on or touching the extra base at the beginning of the next play will be out;
The runner is permitted to use the first base if avoiding collision with a fielder in foul territory. In this event, the fielder in foul territory is permitted to tag the extra base;
The runner may use first base if attempting to advance to second base, or if there is no fielder on first base. A runner using or touching first base in any other circumstance is out.
Referees have jurisdiction over play and may:
call a time out;
call off a game due to darkness, rain or other cause at the referee's discretion;
penalize a player or spectator, including game ejection, for any reason after 1 warning. This includes but is not limited to un-sportsman like conduct, fighting, delay of game and excessive verbal abuse. Ejected participants must leave the field area and may not return to the game(s) for the rest of the night.
Each team must field at least seven (7) and no more than ten (10) players.
Team captains must ensure that:
all players participating in the game must kick in the written scorebook kicking order;
only the Captain may dispute calls with the Head Referee;
any eligible player arriving after the start of the game must be added to the end of the team's written scorebook kicking order.
It is expected that all players will be allocated equal playing time per day of play.
Captains are responsible for creating fair and even lineups for all regular season games and regular season tournaments. A full kicking lineup with innings that players will be sitting out must be submitted to the head ref and opposing captain before the game. A fielding position lineup will suffice.
All players must be slotted to field as even a number of innings as possible per game. No player may sit out a second time before another player has sat out their first time. A player may sit out a second time the same inning another player sits out their first time. Etc. (No 3rd out for player A before player B sits out twice).
Captains may only substitute players off/on to the field in case of injury or illness. The replacement fielder must be a player who has the least slotted starting time of the available benched players.
Two members of the team at kick may coach first and third base. The base coaches must assist in retrieving foul balls and may switch with other team members to remain in the proper written scorebook kicking order.
Base coaches may not interfere with the game.
Interference by a base coach shall result in an out.
In cases of injury or illness, a time-out may be requested for participant removal and replacement with a teammate as a substitute. If the participant later returns to play, the participant must be inserted in the same written kicking order position previously held.
If a player is ejected, injured, or becomes ill and cannot continue, the written kicking order will continue in the same formation, less the removed player.
There is no "automatic out" when the removed player's spot in the order is reached.
Only runners who are injured while traveling to a base, and who successfully make it to a base, may be substituted. There are no other allowable runner substitutions.
A runner may be substituted no more than twice during the game. After the second substitution, the injured player will be removed from the game and no longer be allowed to participate.
Unless otherwise stated at the beginning of a kickball season, substitute players from outside of the league are not permitted to play. If you are shorthanded you must play shorthanded.
Regular sesaon of the Saturday and/or Sunday leagues permit substitute players per our substitute player rules.
In a season where substitute players from outside of the league are permitted to play, the following rules will apply:
A non-league substitute is permitted to play only if there are less than 11 registered players present.
A non-league substitute may play no more than two games per season.
A non-league substitute may not play during the final tournament.
All non-league substitutes must sign the online anti-harassment/non-discrimination and injury waivers prior to playing.
Seasons with 45 minute games
Games will last at most 7 innings or approximately 45 minutes
Once the game reaches the 35-minute mark, the head ref will announce that the next inning (top and bottom) will be played and be the final inning.
In the event of a tie score at the end of the game, the game shall be marked as a tie.
Non-metal cleats may be worn only on natural grass fields (if not in violation of park rules).
A game that is called off by the Referee after three (3) full innings of play shall be considered a regulation game. The game score at the end of the last full inning shall determine the winner.
A game that is called off by the referee for any reason before three (3) full innings of play shall not be considered a regulation game and a new game may be rescheduled.
If a team is winning by 15 or more runs at the end of the 5th inning, the game will be called.
If a team scores 7 runs in an inning that half inning will immediately come to an end and that team can't score any more than 7 runs in an inning.
If a team doesn't have at least seven (7) players 10 minutes after a game is supposed to start, that team forfeits.
The team that doesn't forfeit will get 7 runs and the team that does forfeit gets 0 runs.
Pitches must be smooth-rolling at a moderate speed (no fastballs), with minimal bouncing and little to no spin.
A ball pitched smoothly into the batting box is a strike any part of the strike zone is considered a strike. See STRIKES & BALLS for details.
Once the pitcher has the ball in control and retains possession on the mound, the play ends. Runners who are off base at this time and in forward motion may advance only one base. Runners who are off base at this time and not in forward motion must return to the last base they touched.
Kickers must kick within the kicking box. He/she must have at least a portion of the plant foot within the kicking box during the kick. The kicker may line up outside of the kicking box.
Any ball kicked outside of the first base or third base baselines will be considered foul.
If the ball touches the ground in the outfield in fair territory or any player on the fielding team before entering foul territory it will be considered a fair ball.
A count of four (4) balls advances the kicker to first base. Other base runners only progress if they are forced. See BALLS for details.
A count of three (3) strikes is an out. See STRIKES for details.
A claim of improper kicking order must be made to the Head Referee who will make the final determination. Such a claim must contain two parts:
that the written kicking order was exchanged
that the claim is made on the field no sooner than the first pitch thrown to the accused "wrong" kicker, and no later than the first pitch thrown to the subsequent kicker. The burden of proof rests with the accused team. Any resulting play is nullified by a finding of improper kicking order, with an out recorded for the "wrong" kicker.
After a pitched ball is called a strike or foul, that is the final call.
Fairs and Fouls
A count of four (4) fouls is an out. Foul balls never count as strikes.
A foul ball is:
a kicked ball landing in foul territory.
a kicked ball touched in foul territory.
a kicked ball landing in fair territory, but touching foul territory on its own at any time before reaching first or third base.
a kicked ball whose direction is altered by contact with any object other than the ground in foul territory, and called as such.
a kick made on or above the knee.
a kicked ball touched more than once or stopped in the kicking box by the kicker.
a kicked ball kicked outside of the kicking box.
A fair ball is:
a kicked ball landing and remaining in fair territory.
a kicked ball landing in fair territory then traveling into foul territory beyond the 1st-3rd base diagonal.
A count of three (3) outs by a team completes the team's half of the inning.
Outs can occur in a number of ways:
Catching a ball kicked by the batter before it touches the ground.
Making a force out by tagging the base before the runner gets there. A force out can only occur if the runner MUST run (i.e. all of the bases behind the runner are occupied).
Tagging a player that is not on a base. Tagging includes touching a person with the ball while you hold it, or hitting them with it below the neck. If a runner is upright and you throw the ball and hit them in the head they may freely advance to the next base.
If a runner gets hit by a kicked ball the runner will be declared out.
If the player is hit while standing on a base the player will not be declared out.
A batter will be called out after accruing 4 Foul Balls in the same at-bat.
Foul balls never count as strikes.
The tag of a base by any part of a fielder’s body, while the fielder has control of the ball, before the runner originating at that base can tag-up as required due to a caught ball will result in that runner being out.
"Tagging up" is not allowed on foul balls. Runners may not advance on a ball caught for an out in foul territory.
A count of three (3) strikes is an out.
A strike is:
a pitch that is not kicked and is not called a ball that enters any part of the strike zone and
an attempted kick missed by the kicker inside or outside of the strike zone.
The strike zone is defined as home plate extending a home plate width (17 inches) to each side of home plate and no more than one foot off the ground.
A count of four (4) balls advances the kicker to first base.
A ball is:
a pitch outside of the strike zone as judged by the Referee where a kick is not attempted;
a pitched ball that does not touch the ground at least twice or roll before reaching the kicking box;
a pitched ball that exceeds one foot in height from the bottom of the ball as it enters the kicking box;
a pitched ball that exceeds one foot in height from the bottom of the ball at any time while passing through the kicking box, prior to reaching the kicker;
a pitched ball that is higher than one foot at the plate.
A runner may not leave the base (also known as leading off) until the ball has been kicked.
If a runner is found to be off the base before the ball is kicked by the batter the umpire shall call them out.
If a player intentionally interferes with a play, it will be an automatic out. Intentional interference is decided at the umpire's discretion.
Runners are allowed to take one additional base on an over-throw (this is a restriction on the runner, not an automatic right for the runner to advance). An overthrow is a ball thrown, kicked, or deflected into foul territory while making a defensive play towards a player or base. If any fielder attempts to make an out prior to returning the ball to the pitcher, runners may commence base running.
Runners must stay within the baseline. Any runner outside the baseline is out.
Runners may choose their path from one base to the next, and may follow a natural running arc.
Players "running through" first base must come back to touch the base if they would like to continue to second base.
If a player does not come back to touch first base before running to second, the player will be required to return to first base once the play is over.
If an out is made on that player while attempting to take another base, the player is still out, even if he did not come back to touch first base.
Runners are free to change course to avoid interference with a fielder making a play.
When attempting to avoid a ball tag, runners may move no more than 4 feet out of their established path.
A tag-up is a requirement to retouch or stay on the originating base until the ball is first touched, if a kicked ball is caught. After a tag-up, a runner may advance. A runner failing to tag-up as required allows that player to be made out by tagging the player or the originating base.
When in the field you may have up to 10 players on the field, 6 in the infield (First Base, Second Base, Shortstop, Third Base, Catcher and Pitcher) and 4 in the outfield.
Fielders must stay out of the baseline.
Fielders trying to make an out on base may have their foot on base, but must lean out of the baseline.
Runners hindered by any fielder within the baseline, not making an active play for the ball, shall be safe at the base to which they were running.
Runners may choose to advance beyond this base while the ball is still in play.
The catcher must field behind the kicker, and may not cross home plate nor be positioned forward of the kicker before the ball is kicked.
The catcher may not make contact with the kicker, nor position so closely to the kicker as to restrict the kicking motion.
The catcher must field behind the kicker, and may not cross home plate nor be positioned forward of the kicker before the ball is kicked. The catcher may not make contact with the kicker, nor position so closely to the kicker as to restrict the kicking motion.
When any non-fielder or non-permanent object except a Referee or a runner, touches or is touched by a ball in play in fair territory. This interference causes the play to end, and runners shall proceed to the base to which they were headed.
When any runner on or off base intentionally touches a ball. This interference causes the play to end, the runner to be out, and any other runners shall return to the base from which they came, unless forced to advance.
When any kicker intentionally hits the ball with their hand or arm. This interference causes the play to end, the kicker to be out, and any other runners shall return to the base from which they came.
During any play where a ball is popped or deflates significantly, that play shall be replayed with a properly inflated ball.
Proper Field Position must be maintained by all fielders until the ball is pitched. Proper Field Position is --
for Pitchers: - The pitcher must start the act of pitching with at least one foot within the pitching mound (see Rule 1.01d); - The pitcher must have at least one foot on or directly behind the pitching strip (see Rule 1.01c) when releasing the ball; - No part of the pitcher’s front foot may be in front of or across the front edge of the pitching strip.
for Catchers: - The catcher must be positioned within or directly behind the kicking box and behind the horizontal plane of the kicker, parallel to the front edge of home plate. - The catcher may not make contact with the kicker, nor position so closely to the kicker as to restrict the kicking motion. - The kicker may not trigger a position violation through maneuvers judged by the Ref to be deliberately tricky or unsportsmanlike.
In order to have VETERAN STATUS for the following season, you must attend 6 games out of the total 8 games during the season (tournament included). If you miss more than 2 games, you will not be considered a veteran for the following season. Attendance will be taken.

CIMUSET-CIMCIM international Conference 2020
Playing and operating: functionality in museum
objects and instruments
4th– 6th February, 2020, Cité de la Musique – Philharmonie de Paris, France
Museum collections are formed by selections of objects that represent snapshots of the complexity of the world at different times. As such their value resides as much in their physical supports, as in the representation of the cultural networks of meanings and interactions of which there were part.
For some types of objects, this includes a particularly strong ‘performative’ element, where the object is a tool to accomplish an action: musical instruments, vehicles, clocks and watches, machinery and objects of science and technology are few of the most obvious examples.
For decades, museum approaches have been divided between emphasizing the preservation of the material support of the object, and preserving its capability to operate, for reasons that include dissemination as well as research. The use of alternatives, such as replicas and digital modelling has also been explored, sometimes controversially, and few attempts have been made at producing guidelines for the care and preservation of few among these types of objects.
This conference aims at offering a platform to discuss and compare current approaches the preservation, and interpretation of functional objects, comparing practices across collections, institutions and countries. It is hoped that, by highlighting overlaps and differences, it will be possible to develop a greater understanding of the practical and ethical reasons that inform different policies and that the outcomes of the conference will prepare the ground for a common set of guidelines that might build on the cross-disciplinary experience provided by a variety of objects that present common challenges.
The conference is particularly open to perspectives from curators, conservators, makers, musicians and all key professional stakeholders dealing with the preservation and interpretation of functional objects across collections.
The conference is jointly organized by the International Committee for Museums and Collections of Musical Instruments and Music (CIMCIM), the International Committee for Museums of Science and Technology (CIMUSET) of the International Council of Museums (ICOM) and the Cité de la Musique – Philharmonie de Paris. It is generously supported by the International Council of Museums ICOM (http://icom.museum). The International Council of Museums is an international organisation of museums and museum professionals which is committed to the research, conservation, continuation and communication to society of the world’s natural and cultural heritage, present and future, tangible and intangible.
Sub-themes:
1. The ontology of functional objects
It has been widely argued that the nature of an object is transformed as soon as it enters a museum collection. Moreover, most functional objects have undergone changes, repairs, maintenance work and degradations, either before or after entering a museum collection, which might have transformed the way it operates and its outcome.
How relevant is the preservation of functionality – or the capacity to operate – in faithfully preserving and representing a museum object, and how does it combine with the many conflicting priorities that regulate the life and choices of a museum collections?
2. Interpretation of functional objects
Interpretation and public engagement are traditionally among the main reason to operate functional objects in museums collections, either within the museum galleries or taking them outside of the museum environment itself. This is often the case with musical instruments, vehicles, trains and several types of objects that would have operated in public spaces before entering a museum..
How can the impact of operating an original object be measured and justified, if at all, beyond the satisfaction of passing curiosity? How reliable is the message conveyed by operating an original and how satisfactory are possible alternatives such as copies or digital reproductions. Can truly satisfactory alternatives be found, compared to operating originals, which could still deliver a fully satisfactory experience for the visitor?
3. Good practice and risk management
During the last decades, approaches to operating museum objects have greatly changed leading to the production of sometimes contradictory policies and guidelines that reflect the spirit of their time. Individual museums, sometimes individual conservators, have developed practices and protocols to support informed decision making and risk assessment/management.
Can these policies and approaches be distilled in an overarching approach to operating objects held in museum collections? Where do they overlap and where are they unique to certain types of collections? Which policies and practices are currently in place and how effective have they been in their implementation?
4. Objects functionality in the 21st Century
In the last few years, the rise of virtual object design and physical modelling has created new opportunities and alternatives to reproduce and demonstrate the functionality of objects. These innovative approaches may question the very reason for making actual objects work.
How is the ongoing digital revolution changing the discussion on instruments playability and objects functionality? Can it provide a satisfactory alternative to understand functional objects? What can it contribute to the discussion on the usage of functional objects?

Selected Comments during the Visit to the Handicap Soldier Development Centre at Taken Koh Sla of Kompot Province
Visiting Once a Year, A Close Look on Family Development
Today March 5, 2011, once again, my wife and I are coming to the Handicap Soldier Development Centre after my visit last year on March 8. It has been exactly one year since when I have promised that my wife and I will try to visit all of you once every year. Whatever I say, either in the local community context or in relation with neighboring countries, will not be backtracking.
Even in my absence, my wife and/or my children will come on my behalf to visit you all here as a continuation of a noble job that I have started. I have said and assured you all that this task is noble and I will never leave you just after transferring you from the handicap centre at Kien Svai to this place. I have to fulfill my duty in overseeing you personally, your family’s performances and keeping watch that you all will not fall under the poverty line. What concerns me even more is chance for education for your children.
New Achievements – Education
To start with, today we will put into official use a two storey building here for education service. No one would have imagined that here in Taken Koh Sla, former battlefield, there would be a building for schooling as such. It is beyond one’s thought indeed. As is affirmed by General Tit Meng Long, we have committed to improvement of educational chance and facilities for children here.
We now have five school buildings with 33 classrooms for 1,374 students and 56 teachers. As you can see here that the school buildings would comprise of all three levels of education – primary, junior secondary and senior secondary. With this facility in place, I am sure, children of our people in the community, not just those of the handicap soldiers, would have access to a nine year education (that is a requirement stated in the Constitution).
For children who would pass the senior secondary education, they stand a chance to be provided with a scholarship for furthering their education too. I have been receiving some one thousand scholarships or so per annum. I would set aside some of them for children of our handicap soldiers. Whenever they need in addition to qualifications they possess that are suitable to the standard set for a person to attain the scholarship, my cabinet, especially my son who is directly in charge of the scholarship will see to that.
Healthcare – A Delivery Clinic
As I have come this far I am so certain that your children have access to education not less than when they were with you at the handicap centre at Kien Svay district. In addition to that we have a clinic here specially built and prepared for child delivery. As you all may know that delivery before was being attended in general ward. As of March 1, if I am correctly reported, there was this first delivery in the new building. My wife said before arriving here that if anyone is to deliver while she is here she would attend to the delivery herself.
It is an encouraging result that the general ward here, as is reported by Gen. Tit Meng Long, has been providing treatment for some 12,195 patients in addition to 101 women who came for delivery. It is a satisfaction for us that in our society no one is being disregarded for physical reason and/or background when it comes to wedded pair. Take for instance my wife disregarded my handicap to get married with me. And it is also the case here where families of handicap soldiers are marrying their kids, or sometime between handicap soldiers’ families and those from outside the handicap soldier centre.
Water Resources and Supply
Today I have asked the Minister for Water Resources and Meteorology to come along. It should be recalling of the past experiences in Prey Veng province where there was a big flood in 1994 and drought in 1995. As of now, as far as I am informed, some wells have gone dried already. To say it in other words, the water table underground has gone further down and various ponds, including those at my place at Takhmao, have had the lowest level of water. It is amazingly bizarre because in October 2010, 600 mm of rain in 48 hours had been recorded. Now, only a slightly little water level remains. This has warned us of how to go about preparing for a water shortage both for consumption and for irrigation.
It has been the case here that only eight wells have maintained water level that is catering to need for washing and cooking. In 2010, the Ministry of Rural Development provided 33 drilling wells that are sufficient for household use but not for irrigation. The Ministry has indeed requested to me to drill some 30 more of the wells plus a 100 m by 200 m at the depth of 3 meters. That would include also a number of ponds for fish culture. Let me now instruct that this task of supplying water will be conducted by two ministries involved. I would permit the Ministry of Rural Development to continue its project of drilling some 30 wells more in order to increase coverage area with wells.
Since this service provision would only respond to household consumption need for water, I would leave the issue of searching for a more potential sources of water supply for irrigation to the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology. The Ministry must have received my instruction in writing already, but because the Minister is here, I would like to clarify the duty of providing water for irrigation not only for the Handicap Soldier Centre but also for areas in the vicinity. Water is second in line to be addressed here. We have to go beyond water availability for household consumption to addressing agricultural development demand.
Handicap Quota in Public and Private Workplaces
It has been requested to me by HE Sar Kheng, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Interior, to establish a new commune boundary and authority here. I would ask HE Khoy Khun Huor, Governor of Kompot, to consider placing the commune authority out of the Handicap Centre. My reason is for the centre not to be plagued with incidents that may arise from electoral campaign season. Some opposition candidates may enter and reprimand handicap persons, who may, directly or indirectly, return with anger. I think it is best to put a commune office out of this centre.
Some people are so disrespectful that they may say scornful words to handicap people in general not to mention only those soldiers who have been handicapped for national defense. I am one of handicap person in Cambodia and I take that as disrespectful and immoral acts to do. In fact, handicap people deserve to be treated well. Let’s look at our law on handicap. The state and private institutions are obliged to set a quota in their workplaces for handicap people. Buildings must be accessible by handicap. For instance, the office building of the Council of Ministers, we have access roads and stairs for handicap persons too. I hope our people will be able to distinguish and make good judgment as with whom to entrust the job of leadership.
Thai Backtracks, Cambodia Goes Forward
In fact we have here some houses ready in preparation for handicap soldiers in the war of defending our territory at Preah Vihear area. Yesterday, a letter has been sent to the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Cambodia and Thailand and also all Foreign Ministers of ASEAN. Cambodia has accepted completely what is proposed in the letter and has pointed out 14 locations, more can be decided later, and a timeframe of twelve months, with possible extension, for the observation team. The Minister of Indonesia is considering proposing meetings of the General Border Committee and Joint Border Committee on Demarcation for Land Boundary in Indonesia.
How come (the Thai side) continues to insist on bilateral (negotiation)? It is true that the two will finally be the ones who make decisions, but what about the party who has convened the meeting? Indonesia will host and co-sign the outcome of the meeting. (Thailand) claimed to be welcoming (the Indonesian observation team) and also challenged Cambodia to do so as well. When Cambodia accepts and goes forward, they are backtracking so as to consider the option./.

This is to add the page= parameter to the template so that a different page can be specified (i.e. {{Purge|page=Article}} and {{Purge|purge this page|page=Article}}).
--Lightsup55 ( T | C ) 08:58, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Done--Aervanath (talk) 09:20, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Remove id="purgelink"Edit
Please remove "id="purgelink"" because it disallows color to be used to change the color of the "purge." I wish to change the color to blue so it doesn't look like an external link. MathCool10 Sign here! 19:49, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
I don't think the presence of the id has anything to do with this, though the id should be removed because there is no guarantee that this will be only used once per page. As a side note, it's usually best to let links have their default color, rather than forcing them to have a particular color. --- RockMFR 01:07, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
Agreed. I don't see the point of changing the default color; it looks more natural anyways. -download | sign! 21:27, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Adding titleEdit
I have added the title "purge this page" to the "Purge" (current version:Purge) link. This changed version is in the page {{Purge/sandbox}}. I think that the sanbox version is better. I request to anyone of the Admins to replace it. The source is given below. --Amit (Talk | Contribs) 12:54, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

How does that help? I don't see any difference. MathCool10 Sign here! 00:37, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Oh, I see now, but it's not that useful. MathCool10 Sign here! 00:38, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
{{editprotected}} Please change the text to as shown in the code (with a span title). MC10 | Sign here! 04:33, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Done. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:41, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
{{editprotected}} Please change the code from:
<span class="noprint plainlinks purgelink">[{{fullurl:{{{page|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}|action=purge}} <span title="Purge this page">{{{1|Purge}}}</span>]</span><noinclude> {{pp-template}} {{documentation}} </noinclude>

so that you can remove the span title with the parameter title=no if you want to. MC10 | Sign here! 20:54, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
Is it really worth it? Why would you want to specify title=no? I think it might be better just to decide whether to have the span title or not. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:07, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
The span title is useful in most situations, but in some it isn't, such as {{actions}}. MC10 | Sign here! 02:45, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
I still think it is not worth to complicate the code for such a trivial benefit. And I can't see why it would not be useful on {{actions}} anyway (although that template does not even use this one currently!) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:10, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
I would tend to concur. If the title is found useful, it should be used everywhere. In the same spirit, {{Actions}} should probably have titles for all the other actions as well.
Of course, I'm not really sure if the title is useful in the first place. If anything, it should explain what purging means. Amalthea 08:45, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Try what I changed it now. Force |title=yes as a parameter in order to have the span title. This causes little change to most purge links and still keeps the span title. MC10 | Sign here! 02:03, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Not done: You haven't explained why this span title is not required on {{actions}}. You have now placed four protected edit requests for this tiny tweak. Just saying. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:20, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Make span title editableEdit
It would be helpful if the span title added from the above discussion were a parameter with "purge this page" as default so that one could have some control over what that says and what function "purge this page" will accomplish (e.g. refreshing counts) as it may not be clear. ProtectorServant (talk) 13:09, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
Edit request: plain languageEdit
Please change the link text from {{{1|Purge}}} to {{{1|Refresh}}} and change the link annotation from <span title="Purge this page"> to <span title="Refresh this page"> .
Reason: The present language is not sufficiently clear for readers who do not have a technical background.
Rationales:
To a layperson, the plain English meaning of "purge" is to remove, get rid of, or expunge. This is not what is meant with respect to content to which this template is applied.
To speak of purging the cache describes a technical means to an end. The proximate end is to bypass or refresh the cache but the true end, from the reader's perspecitve, is to render a fresh, updated version of the page.
Although there is a distinction in technical parlance between merely refreshing a page view and refreshing the source from which the page is loaded, readers who are familiar with this distinction are unlikely to be misled if it is labeled "Refresh" but readers who are not aware of it may be baffled when it is labeled "Purge."
Thank you. ~ Ningauble (talk) 14:32, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
"Purge" has been used in its present, idiomatic sense on Wikipedia for years. See WP:PURGE. There is a distinction between "refreshing" a page and "purging" it. This really needs discussed before any changes are made, so disabling the request for now. It may be best getting a wider discussion going at the Village Pump. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 15:54, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Ok, this will need discussion because it has indeed been used here for a long time. It is one of those little things that make Wikipedia seem geeky to the general public. (Confession: I am a retired geek. My request is not meant to be anti-geek, but to better serve the reading public.) I am well aware of WP:PURGE and the distinction you refer to, as indicated in my point #3 above.
To amplify on point 3: A reader might wonder why there is a "Refresh" button on the page when their browser already has a refresh function. They might assume it is something related but different. They might surmise that it is something specific to the time-sensitive information being displayed. They might try their browser's function and be disappointed by the result. The might try the link and find it (surprise) more refreshing. These remarks apply equally well to those who are, and who are not, conversant with the caching architecture used on Wikimedia's servers. The same cannot be said for "Purge". A little ambiguity, when it is not misleading, is far better than jargon that signifies little to the uninitiated.
To amplify on points 1 and 2: "Purging the cache" is a self reference to the infrastructure that serves Wikipedia's content. "Purge" is not an apt description of the action a reader would intend to perform on the content they are viewing, unless their intent is quite different from what the link does. To be clear, I am thinking about the perspective of a general reader who might wonder why they would want to "get rid of" the content, and is not thinking about, or even aware of, getting rid of cached data behind it. (For contributors, who need to find the applicable template, it might be good to mention it in the lede section of WP:REFRESH because it is somewhat buried in the page.)
I considered "Update" instead of "Refresh", which some websites use for this purpose, but I thought it could be confusing in a context where most pages are peppered with "[edit]" links. I would be open to other suggestions for plain English words that commonly denote the action an ordinary reader would intend to perform on the content they are viewing.
I am posting a note at WP:VP and WP:PURGE to solicit community review this idea. ~ Ningauble (talk) 19:48, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Sounds like a good idea. "Purge" is just a word to me now, but it was somewhat confusing when I first tried to figure out what it was and how it worked. Note that the URL uses &action=purge. If at all possible, another &action= should be designated for the new term (leaving the old in place, of course). I don't know if that's possible, while the change to the relevant MediaWiki pages would be fairly simple. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 04:10, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
The reason I suggest changing MediaWiki pages as well as the template is because if this is changed, pieces of the interface such as MediaWiki:Nosuchsectiontext should be changed to reflect the new usage. Doing this piecemeal would cause more confusion than the status quo. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 04:19, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
Speaking as a techy type, I support this change. "Purge" is jargon. "Refresh" is commonplace. We should consider that the vast majority of visitors to Wikipedia are just that; visitors. They don't know about the years of use of the word "purge" or do they care. They don't know where to find detailed instructions or policy and guidelines (yawn) pages. They may want to refresh the page though. Whole hearted support. fredgandt 13:36, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
Oppose Anyone who is using this template in its default wording in mainspace should be shot; if such uses are identified, then fix them individually. Changing the template would alter projectspace uses (where jargon is more acceptable) and confuse existing users, with little mainspace benefit. I would support changing the title text to something like "Purge the cache of this page", to be clearer. And finally, "refresh" could confuse readers about the browser, as Aunt Tillie doesn't experiment when she sees something like that, she just says "computers are confusing!"; "update" looks too much like "edit", although it might be appropriate in specific contexts; and I've yet to see a reasonable alternative. --NYKevin @109, i.e. 01:37, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
I don't approve of shooting people, but you are right that the default language is wrong. The default should be something that is appropriate for nearly all uses, including project space. Geekyness in project space is a significant factor in deterring readers from becoming contributors. Let's not shoot people for failing to override the default, let's make the default useful so they don't have to. ~ Ningauble (talk) 16:42, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
OK, what language do you propose? As I just pointed out, "Refresh" is a non-starter in mainspace anyway, so it will still need to be overridden. Everyone already knows what "purge" means in projectspace, and in mainspace it needs to be on a case-by-case basis anyway, so there's nothing wrong with the current language. --NYKevin @881, i.e. 20:09, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Support - 'Refresh' is clearer, and anyone who uses an Internet browser should understand what it means, even if the functionality of the 'Purge' template isn't quite the same as refreshing a browser window. Whereas some newbies might be reluctant to push a 'purge' button for fear of accidentally deleting valuable data - it does suggest destroying or getting rid of something. Robofish (talk) 12:48, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
More than a month has passed since the last comment/response above, so I am reactivating the {{editprotected}} template to ask an administrator to assess whether the discussion has been adequate to form a consensus. (4 in favor, 1 opposed, 1 call for discussion) If not, I will advertise it for broader participation. Thanks. ~ Ningauble (talk) 16:22, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
Oppose The whole system is known as purging — see Wikipedia:Purge. Please obtain consensus to have that page moved first. Nyttend (talk) 19:42, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Support: To me "purge" sound completely ununderstandable.
(Leaving out that I think about other meaning first :-) ), this technical meaning is worse than what Ningauble's first message pointed out: "purge" is even not actually related to "bypass or refresh the cache" but only to an half of it, just clearing out the cache. So it's not related to getting again the (newly rebuilt) page, and it's not plain and immediate by a "layperson" to foresee the result (maybe he/she even thinks it is about taking away a (wrong) page from Wikipedia!)
But, however, I feel that the suggested "Refresh" is confounding and misleading too, as there is the more known browser's Refresh or Reload function (client side cache)
We have to find out a better expression (Maybe: "rebuild (the page)", "get again (the page)", "resend" ... I have to think about this)
Answering to Nyttend: Off course all the related page will be changed.

Oppose: The chances are high that if you don't know what purging means in the context of MediaWiki, you don't need to do it. I would support expanding the text to "purge cache" since that's a bit more clear, but as far as I can tell no need has been demonstrated to move away from "purge." --Chris (talk) 20:15, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Not Morsi but Mahdi
by Charles Cameron | Jun 26, 2012 | Monitor |
[ by Charles Cameron — Egyptian presidency, Mahdist candidate, Center for Millennial Studies, Christ candidate ]
I ran across this reasonably remarkable web image while following a link from the tail end of Tim Furnish‘s comments on the Egyptian presidential election, and can’t really comment on the candidate himself, either as Mahdi-claimant or as (failed) aspirant to the Presidency.
I am, however, put in mind of my days with the Center for Millennial Studies at Boston University, and a fellow I met at one of their conferences there called Chris King. But I’ll let another friend of mine from those days make the introduction — here’s Damian Thompson, writing in the Daily Telegraph a while back:
I spent the evening of December 31, 1999, climbing up the Mount of Olives, only to be confronted by a wild-haired messiah figure in a patchwork robe walking down the slope. That was surprising enough, but my jaw really dropped open when he said: “Hi, Damian.” Turned out we’d met a few weeks earlier, at a conference organised by the Center for Millennial Studies in Boston. The “messiah” was a Kiwi maths lecturer called Chris King, which he explained also meant “Christ the King”, though only in a complex esoteric way. (He was a lovely guy, actually.)
Chris King was, as Damian reports, both a likeable guy and an academic, and what I found most appealing about his self-presentation — beyond the very fact of his turning up to attend a conference on Millennial Studies — was that his view, essentially a gnostic one, was that we are all Christs in potentia, if we would but realize it… wait for it…
and his consequent request that his claim to messianic status should be peer-reviewed!

Collection Development Policy at CSL
i). The focus of the collection development is to provide services to the academic community engaged in the studies related to socio-economic and cultural development of India and its States. Hence, the collection development should focus on the above discipline. Such collection development would ultimately lead to development of resource center on developmental literature.
ii). CSL should also be converted as a resource center on various reading materials on and about Delhi by building its collection in that sphere.
iii). CSL should strengthen the area study collection by emphasizing its collection policy to select documents on India and its States. It will also lay emphasis on other Asian countries.
iv). The reference collection of the CSL should be properly built up so as to provide an opportunity to the reader to have current information available through these collections.
v). The biographical collection which has been a useful source in CSL should be strengthened.
vi). In addition, CSL should focus on collecting the Indian and European literature especially of fictional nature so that the Government employees under stress may relieve their tensions by going through such fictional studies.
vii). CSL should continue to collect literature related to Indian culture and civilization, art and archaeology, music and dance and all other disciplines that are directly connected with the activity of the Department of Culture.
This is a tentative guideline, which is being followed for purchase of reading materials at CSL
A well established Collection Development Committee consisting of former Librarians, subject experts drawn from University of Delhi and IGNCA makes extensive selection of books in different subject fields and adheres to the guidelines. While the preliminary selection of books are done by CSL and reference books, books on library and information science, Information Technology related books, biographies are out rightly purchased by CSL with the approval of the Bureau Head, the books on other subjects are submitted to subject experts for their view.

Only thing that might give it a chance is that it happens so many years after the new fake trek. Studios are normally extremely afraid of "confusing the audience", so they would probably want it to fit in with the bad timeline.

This is pretty old news, and I don't think anything ever came of it. I direct you to:
Geek favorites Bryan Fuller and Bryan Singer have been forthcoming about their hopes for bringing Star Trek back to the small screen, after the release of J.J. Abrams’ elusive sequel to his Trek movie reboot next summer. However, it turns out those two aren’t the only ones with big dreams about a new TV series set in that sci-fi universe – Michael Dorn is also taking steps to reprise his signature Trek role on a spinoff, tentatively titled Star Trek: Captain Worf.

StarTrek.com is saddened to report the passing of acclaimed Australian actress and Star Trek: The Next Generation guest star Wendy Hughes. She played Captain Picard's love interest, Lt. Commander Nella Daren, in the sixth-season hour "Lessons," which aired in 1993. Her TNG episode was just one credit in a long and successful career that spanned from the stage to television to features, and included My Brilliant Career, Careful, He Might Hear You and State Coroner, as well as The Graduate, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and, in 2012, a Sydney Theater Company production of Pygmalion that cast her as Mrs. Higgins.
Hughes succumbed to cancer on Saturday afternoon in Sydney, with actor Bryan Brown breaking the news to the audience at a Sydney Theatre Company Travelling North show and leading the audience to honor her with a standing ovation. The actress was 61 years old and leaves behind a daughter, Charlotte, and a son, Jay. StarTrek.com offers our condolences to Hughes' family, friends, colleagues and fans.
This was a stellar episode from Season 6!

HISTORY OF THE "LABRADOODLE"
Posted by Jacquie Yorke - DRC Director on June 24, 2010 at 2:31am in IS A DOODLE FOR YOU?
Back to IS A DOODLE FOR YOU? Discussions
The Labradoodle was first deliberately bred in Australia in 1989, when Wally Conron of Royal Guide Dogs Association of Melbourne received a letter from a woman in Hawaii who needed a non-shedding service dog due to her husbands severe allergies to pet dander.
WALLY CONRON
Mr Conron had the brilliant idea of combining the Labrador Retriever with the Standard Poodle. His goal was to combine the low-shedding coat of the Poodle with the gentleness and trainability of the Labrador ultimately providing a Guide/Service Dog suitable for people with allergies to fur and dander.
EARLY LABRADOODLE GUIDE DOGS
What began was two years of trials with 33 unsuccessful results.
Finally, the results of a mating between one of Royal Guide Dogs most beloved and proven Labradors and a prized standard Poodle imported from Sweden proved somewhat successful with three of the puppies producing low- to non-shedding coats. Only one of the three puppies was ultimately selected for service work.
Sultan the very 1st Labradoodle service dog was introduced to his new owner amidst great fanfare. The pairing was a great success and Conron was confident that the remaining two puppies would also be placed quickly.
It is traditional for the Royal Guide Dog Association to place their puppies at eight weeks in "guardian homes" with families where they are able to mature with a good socialized background to ready them for their important life’s work. With this Conron unexpectedly hit another stumbling block. None of the waiting families, called "puppy walkers", wanted a “mutt”. They all wanted a traditional Labrador guide dog, a purebred.
As eight weeks rolled by, the remaining two pups still hadn't found homes and the critical window of time needed to bond and socialize these puppies was closing fast. Conron thought that naming the cross would give them a better chance for acceptance.
The name "Labradoodle" was born.
In an effort to increase the ratio of allergy friendly dogs in each litter, Labradoodle was bred to Labradoodle. As a way to describe and identify these dogs they were called “Double-Doodles” and of course Double Doodle was bred to Double Doodle and aptly named "Tri-Doodles".Though these dogs were incredibly intelligent and willing trainees they were strong willed, aloof, high-strung and boisterous. Some were even aggressive and domineering. Few were allergy friendly and fewer still were non-shedding. Overall these early doodles were not ideal family pets.
Additionally the sharing of a number of hereditary diseases carried by both Poodle and Labrador Retriever was already a major concern. It became apparent that continuing to develop the Labradoodle using only these two breeds was a health disaster waiting to happen and was certain to lead to the same genetic dead end already experiened by those breeding recognized ‘pure’ breed dogs.The program was ultimately abandoned by Conron but not before 31 puppies had been bred and raised pf which 29 passed to become service dogs.
FOOTNOTE: Wally Conran has recently openly expressed his regret for being the founder of what has now become a fashionable trend. His regret is based on the now huge numbers of irresponsible breeders crossing every breed imaginable with poodles without any consideration of the health and well being of carrying mothers, pups and future doodle generations. He also regrets that this has now become a very lucrative back yard industry.
SEE "MY STORY-I DESIGNED A DOG" BY WALLY CONRON
http://doodlerescueinc.ning.com/group/isadoodleforyou/forum/topics/...
Throughout those early years Kate Shoeffel, a vet in NSW Australia and others were determined to improve the Labradoodle as it had come to be known, to fix its flaws, and to turn it into a supremely desirable family companion. She began breeding first generation (F1) Labradoodles from Labrador and Poodle matings and backcrossing them to Poodles (F1b). Her F1's and F1b's were amongst the first Labradoodles to be exported from Australia to America.
KATE SHOEFFEL
Because of their immense rise in popularity, people began crossing any Labrador with any poodle without any regard to genetics, bloodline, or temperament and calling the puppies "Labradoodles.” The result was an unpredictable variety of puppies with various physical characteristics. The evident need for breeders to develop a standard for this fascinating dog gave rise to the establishment of two Breeding and Research Centers for Labradoodles in Australia.
In 1989, Rutland Manor Labradoodle Breeding and Research Center was organized in Darnum, Victoria by Beverley Manners and her daughter Angela Wetzel Cunningham. Ms. Cunningham simultaneously organized the Tegan Park Labradoodle Breeding and Research Centre located in Seaspray, Victoria.
BEVERLEY MANNERS
SEE "THE ART OF DEVELOPING A BREED" BY BEVERLEY MANNERS
http://www.alpsdoodles.org/pages/Beverley_breedhist.htm
ANGELA WETZEL CUNNINGHAM
In 1998, Tegan Park introduced the "Miniature" Labradoodle to the public. When these were crossed with the standard Labradoodle, the medium Labradoodle resulted. Thus three sizes are currently distinguished.
Australian Labradoodles today differ from early generation and Multigenerational Labradoodles bred by Wally Conron and Royal Guide Dogs of Victoria in that they have breeds other than Poodle and Labrador Retriever in their ancestry. English and American Cocker Spaniel/Poodle crosses (i.e. Cockapoos), Two Irish Water Spaniels and Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers were used in some Australian Labradoodle lines. The Curly Coated Retriever were used too, but these lines did not work out and they were discontinued.
Thanks to Beverley & Angela what ensued was a remarkable yet somewhat misleading marketing campaign that took the world, particularly the United States by storm inducing "Doodle Fever" in the masses. Thanks to the skillfull use of PR combined with the fact that doodles happen to truly be wonderful canine companions regardless of their coat types, the demand for these dogs increased dramatically and virtually overnight. Suddenly everyone and anyone who could get their hands on a Standard Poodle and Lab breeding pair, went into the doodle breeding business.
In 2008 Ms. Manners of Rutland Manor and her daughter Ms. Cunningham of Tegan Park had a nasty and very public "parting of ways". Cunningham's bitter divorce and the disolvement of mutual assets acquired during the marriage, resulted in Tegan Park USA doodles and foundation breeding stock dogs worth millions left in deplorable conditions on the Cunningham's Florida ranch. Many dog's were "auctioned" off on the internet...Many were filtered through the shelter system.... Many who were sick and suffering from various ailments including Parvo virus and mal-nutrition died.

Adsorption kinetics of ABS on fly ash
The Adsorption Kinetics of
ABS on Fly Ash

P. K. DEB, Research Assistant
The ever increasing demand for water of good to high quality has caused considerable attention to be directed toward the recovery or reuse of wastewaters.
Special attention has been given to the removal and the ultimate disposal of organic and inorganic contaminants which are resistant to removal by conventional
treatment processes; such contaminants are classified as refractory substances.
Among the several currently known physical, chemical and biological methods
used for wastewater renovation, adsorption has been indicated as the most promising technique for the removal of organic refractories (1).
The available literature pertaining to adsorptive processes used in wastewater
renovation deals primarily with activated carbon. The high organophilic character
of activated carbon has been recognized for a considerable period of time. Because of this characteristic, industrial and municipal water purification processes
presently constitute the largest market for activated carbon (2).
The organophilic nature of activated carbon also makes it an efficient scavenger of organic refractories in wastewater renovation operations. Nevertheless,
activated carbon has some technological as well as economical drawbacks. The
powder forms of activated carbon cost from seven to nine cents per lb and granular types cost from 25 to 50 cents per lb (3). These cost figures are of such magnitude that the only manner in which the use of activated carbon can be made
economically acceptable is through the development of a cheap regeneration
process. Recent studies using activated carbon in a column process showed a COD
removal of 12 per cent by weight. The initial cost of the activated carbon was
15 cents per lb. The cost of regenerating the carbon by chemical treatment was
90 cents per lb (4). Present studies are being conducted to determine whether or
not heat regeneration is a more economically acceptable process.
Recognizing the economic drawbacks of activated carbon other investigators
have studied the feasibility of using cheap commercial available materials as
potential adsorbents (5, 6). The materials used in these studies were a variety of
clays and minerals and industrial byproducts and wastes.
One of the cheapest and most available materials is "fly ash." This material
a waste product of the electric power industry, is produced in large quantities during the burning of powdered coal at high temperatures. A 1, 000 million watts
power plant will produce about 1,000 tons of fly ash daily. Estimates indicate
that during 1964 about 20 million tons of fly ash will be produced in the United
In order to prevent air pollution, fly ash is collected by means of precipitators
from the flue gasses before they enter the stacks. Fly ash, so collected, can not

Patriot PXD 1TB M.2 PCIe Type-C External SSD Capsule Review
by Ganesh T S 5 comments
High-performance bus-powered direct-attached storage units have become very popular, thanks to the advent of high-speed interfaces and technologies such as USB 3.2 Gen 2, NVMe, and 3D NAND flash. Flash manufacturers such as Western Digital / SanDisk, Crucial (Micron), and Samsung produce and market external solid-state drives (SSDs) under their own brand.

CLOVEN HOOF
By Anders Ekdahl April 28, 2017 April 28, 2017 Interviews
I am glad that I am old enough to have witnessed the rise of NWOBHM. With bands like CLOVEN HOOF I would not be who I am today. So it was a pleasure to be able to interview them. Anders Ekdahl ©2017
What was it like back in the early 80s when everything was new and fresh and NWOBHM was on everybody’s tongue? When did you realize that you too were a part of that wave?
-It was a magical time back in the early 1980’s heavy metal kids really did rule the streets and denim and leather clad hoards would go anywhere to see a band. The British press were championing the cause of home grown talent and venues would welcome the N.W.O.B.H.M groups who played their own compositions unlike nowadays sadly. The underground scene spilled out into mainstream and the world took notice of original fresh and exciting new metal bands like never before. People said to me you can never get anywhere playing your own material, but I paid them no heed. I just said watch me, then the N.W.O.B.H.M movement just exploded on the scene. I knew our time had come to take our new brand of metal to the people.
Back in the 1980’s the media was run by writers who genuinely loved metal. Malcolm Dome, Dave Ling, Chris Welch in particular. Geoff Barton was the most important writer by far and half my own record collection was purchased on his flawless recommendations of good taste. He definitely was responsible for bringing Cloven Hoof to the attention of the metal world with his ‘Breaking through in 82’ article in Sounds music paper. He tipped us for big things and when he took over a Friday rock show stint for Tommy Vance he played ‘Gates of Gehenna’. We owe Geoff a lot. We really did feel part of the New Wave after features in Sounds and later appearing in the first ever Kerrang! magazine that Geoff founded. I didn’t agree with his review of Rush’s Hemispheres album however. He panned a totally fantastic tour de force, I suppose we all make mistakes.
In hindsight I would have appreciated those halcyon days even more because they beat today’s music scene hollow. The British metal fans today deserve so much more from the press than it pandering to corporate fashion hype. It is really hard for new groups to make headway. If Cloven Hoof could make it really big then we would champion a whole new wave of British heavy metal.
We would invite a number of undiscovered bands to be on our tour and make the shows mini festival events. No one would have to pay to be on with us like the big corporate groups. It is a shame they don’t help promote new talent and put something back into metal. The major record labels and bands only think of one thing… money! That attitude sucks!!!
How hard was it for you guys to pick a name? What had that name have to have to fit your music?
-I wanted something demonic with three syllables that people could chant. Cloven-Hoof! I also wanted a horror, sci-fi image to match the name and style of music too. It was difficult finding something that fitted then an ex-girlfriend who worked for the library service got me a book of spells and witchcraft grimoires. To show the Cloven Hoof is to let ones evil nature show. It also means worshippers at the feet of the Devil… perfect!
Back in the 70s there weren’t as many bands as there are today. What band(s) was it that turned you on to the kind of music you play?
-It was always a highly competitive business being in a band and trying to make a breakthrough. In today’s market place of seemingly infinite choice it must be even harder. I have the same musical influences, it never changed really. Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, Rush, Blue Oyster Cult, UFO, Wishbone Ash, Motorhead, Montrose. Synthesise them all down, mix it up a little and you can get a basis for the Cloven Hoof sound. Those bands still sound as good now as they did then, their music is tireless and a constant source of reference.
When I was a school kid I heard ‘Made in Japan’ album by Deep Purple and wasblown away. I thought that is what I want to do in life… play loud fast music like that! I have always been influenced by a steady diet of Greek and Norse mythology, old horror and sci-fi films and Marvel comic books. I suppose this amalgamation of things that fuelled my imagination is mixed up and synthesised into our songs. I have pretty vivid nightmares too and many of our riffs are playing as a background track to these. I keep a tape recorder by the bed and I hum song ideas into it sometimes in the middle of the night. This drives my wife crazy, she thinks I am insane singing away into a tape machine in the middle of the night… well I am! Lol.
I decided from the start that due to the black magic orientation of the band, I would try to learn as much as possible about the subject. I had started to write a title track called Cloven Hoof (surprise) and it seemed a good idea at the time to make a section of it an actual Witches rune from the Book of Shadows (This is a collection of witches spells, as used by Aleister Crowley etc).
Many unexplained events happened to the band I feel sure as a result of this. I was showing the band’s original guitarist the finger picking part of the spell section whilst reciting out loud the lyrics. Suddenly a guitar jammed between two Marshall cabs was mysteriously thrown forward as if hurled by an invisible force, and my companion the six string maestro was off like a shot out of the door saying “Call me tomorrow… see ya!” I was left alone to ponder what a strange atmosphere had descended on the room afterwards. Funnily enough, this happened on Beltane night, a witches
Sabbath!
Things finally came to a head when a vocalist who had recently joined the group announced that after he had practised reciting the said witches rune section of our title track, he felt as if unseen hands had gripped his legs! He delivered an ultimatum… “unless you change the words, I will leave the band!” I duly complied under protest.
However there were still some passages of the song that I left unaltered and as ill fortune would have it, when we performed the track at a rehearsal hall, it was duly struck by lightning! The guitar amps were fused and the hapless vocalist was mildly electrocuted. Needless to say he wanted nothing more to do with the fledgling Cloven Hoof after that!
I am a bit old school in that I want to have my music on physical format. Recently we’’ve seen a rise in LP sales. Why do you think that even young people today buy vinyl?
-Vinyl is back, no doubt about it. Sales of vinyl records have been soaring, although they still represent only a tiny fraction of the music industry’s revenues. It’s true that some digital media really don’t sound very good. Low-bit-rate MP3 makes compromises in fidelity. CDs reflect exactly what the artists recorded in the studio, vinyl distorts it. Like me some listeners honestly feel that the defects vinyl introduces somehow make it more attractive or “warmer”. Certainly the act of putting a record on a turntable and having to change it every 20 minutes makes the listener feel more involved with the music. Also the retro appeal factor is a contributing item with young people, even they must realise crackles and all you can’t beat vinyl. We see increasing numbers of young fans at our live shows, they seem to get off on our raw power just as much as their parents probably did. In fact sometimes we get a whole family generation group from Mom, Dad and the kids. It makes you feel kind of warm and humble to appeal to such a wide demographic group. Providing a metal sound track to people’s lives is an awesome privilege.
I use Spotify and Deezer but only as compliment to buying CDS (it’s easier to just have your phone or pad when you’re out) but I fear that soon music as we know it will be dead and buried. What are your worries as a band?
-The prime area Music streaming services misses out on is the user owning a tactile product with cover artwork as an integral part of the overall experience. I used to put on headphones read the sleeves from cover to cover and find myself in another world. I really got into a band and let the music connect. You can’t get the same experience out of random songs. Some people don’t even get the full album they just choose the more immediate ones and dismiss the tracks that need to grow on you. In my honest opinion vinyl beats CD’s hollow both on sound and understanding where the band is coming from. You need the total package, not a range of unconnected songs. You can’t even read half the lyrics usually on a CD because the text is so small. This is why vinyl is making a comeback and it is harder to copy the music off vinyl because of the needle crackles. I don’t think streaming will kill off metal ever because the fans are so loyal and intelligent. They make their own minds up and don’t follow stupid fashion trends, unlike sheep like pop audiences.
What part does art work and lay out play? Any message that you want to bring forth with it?
-Artwork has a very important role in giving the audience a pictorial flavor of what the music is like. In my opinion the cover should denote the overall essence and feel of the material contained within. Some album sleeves are just pieces of art that bears no resemblance to the music, I feel that is
pointless. Alex Von Wieding is a fantastic illustrator who captures Cloven Hoof’s subject matter perfectly. His work is so powerful and mystical, I enjoy telling him my thoughts in a sketchy brief and he always delivers in spades. He reads the lyrics first from cover to cover then asks for the musicians overall vision. You can tell even from the initial sketches that he is on the right lines and he completes his work with speed and terrific detail. I am always finding new things when I stare at his paintings. I can’t imagine anyone else doing our sleeves, Alex is the perfect artist for the band.
Is it a whole different way to promote a band today with all these social media channels? Or do you go about doing promotion the same way, playing live and word of mouth?
-The internet has changed the face of promotion forever. It has given a voice to everyone so there are artists out there on the world stage like never before. With all that choice it is a double edged sword as sifting through all the dross the real deal bands can get lost. it was ever thus I suppose
but hopefully the cream will always rise to the top, or at least one would hope. Social media has its good points that like minded people can share information about what metal bands are doing. Fans can learn news instantly straight from the horse’s mouth as it were. But for all the positive points
there are cyber trolls and ex band members with agendas setting up fake id accounts to take a pop at you without come back. You have to take things like that in your stride because it is not just a general metal hostile press to contend with these days.
Personally I don’t have much time for promoting anything on the web because I am too busy writing songs and rehearsing. Valued friends do most of what is needed but I always find time for interviews with respected journalists. I always reply to fan mail no matter how long it takes me to sift through it
and write a reply. The fans mean everything to Cloven Hoof and we will always sign autographs and talk to them at shows. Word of mouth is just as important to building up a fan base now as it was back in the early 1980’s. We tend to pick and choose our gigs these days because promoters have to pay a lot in flights due to half the band being located in the USA whilst the other half residing in England. You can reach much more people by being heard on the internet than by playing endless gigs on the road like we used to do, but I guess it was a lot more fun.
I am not a person that dwells in the past but I get a feeling that it was better in the past when it came to gigs and people showing up for them. Has the massive amount of different ways to spend your time made people not come to gigs anymore, can people not be bothered to go out and support their fave bands anymore?
-It was much better in the past for gigs as there was a whole different culture and mindset back then. Everyone was much more receptive to going out and seeing bands work in the live environment. New undiscovered talent had a much better chance of being accepted if they could cut it live. Today many acts just mime and look good in promo videos, what talent does it take to do that?
Venues are being let down with falling attendances so they choose the soft option of tribute acts who play safe sets of easily recognisable tunes. Waste of time tribute bands are every where… I hate it. I would rather die on my backside in front of an audience playing my own songs rather than
going down great playing other peoples shit. It is down to crap TV shows brain washing the audiences into accepting the same old mainstream bollocks. Have courage in your convictions, bands should refuse to be a lame facsimile and play their own stuff period. There is too much payola too going on with the British rock magazines only championing bands with record companies who pay for adverts. Integrity counts for nothing so true metal fans shouldn’t pay any attention to those hype rags.
Video games and endless TV channels are sadly making the general public stay at home. It is a vicious circle that needs dealing with and I feel the media in general have let the public down badly. By them not allowing new talent to blossom it does not bode well for the future. The take the money
to continuously hype up corporate acts and their formula driven drivel.
Simon Cowell instead of being praised up to high heaven should be fucking publicly beheaded if you ask me for crimes against music and humanity. Moguls like that sun tanned asshole have an iron grip on the media in Britain and it needs a revolution to get rid of the lot of them.
Apathy lies at the heart of it and the general public have lost the will to think for themselves. They are being spoon fed rubbish like cheap and cheerful reality TV shows and crap bland boy, girl bands. Rap music is total shit and has taken over from where disco ended, both contaminate the airwaves with total dross. I think it is just a way for gangs to launder drug money. It is totally unmusical with some guy talking total bollocks over a drum beat. Wise up people… true metal is THE salvation!!!
How much of a touring band are you? Is touring/gigging still a great way of spreading the word of the band?
-Given the chance I would tour with Cloven Hoof every day of my life, no question about it. There is nothing better than being onstage feeding off a crowd of head-banging metal heads singing along to every word. If we can get the right promoter and tour agents then we would do it in a heartbeat. We
are above all a band that prides itself on our live performances and anyone can see we give the audience all we have got. If the new album “Who Mourns for the Morning Star ” is a great success and sells well then maybe we can get the right management company to make a global tour possible. Fingers crossed my friends.
What will the future bring?
-Well more shows around the world hopefully and another appearance at Sweden Rock festival, that was my all time favourite event. I am writing another album at the moment and there are enough songs to make it a double. Having George Call as our singer and Danny White on drums in the band is so inspirational. I can’t stop coming up with song ideas at the moment, this can only be a good thing. Cloven Hoof will soon have a 40 year history so that proves we must be doing something right. If music survives the test of time then it must be good so here’s to all the fans who have made it
possible. The best is still yet to come…Cloven Hoof salute you all!

Larry (Miami)
Walk to the left and take the Quarters from the vending machine. Look at the signs to find the numbers for Just Green Cards and North Beach Limo. Use the phones to the right to call both of them to order a green card and a limo.
Go outside, pick up the Green Card from the bin and get in the limo. Show the Business Card to the driver to be taken to the dentist’s office.
Dr. Pulliam’s Office
Walk up the stairs, enter the office and knock on the receptionist’s window twice. When she asks you a series of questions respond by saying yes, yes, no, no, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, no, no. She’ll give you an appointment far into the future.
Pick up the Doily from the table and then use it on yourself to wrap it around your head. Knock on the window again and you’ll be given an appointment immediately.
When you’re with the dentist look at her and then turn on the Camera. Talk to Chi Chi until she tells you that she’s an illegal alien. Give her the Green Card and she’ll take you downstairs for a ‘workout’.
Once that’s done turn the Camera off and return to the reception area to call a limo. Head outside and get in the limo to be taken back to the airport.
Use the ATM to buy a Ticket to LA. Enter the lounge and get on the plane when you’re called to board. You’ll fall asleep and recap Patti’s mission.
Place Crash
During the flight the pilot refuses to fly because his contract has run out. Larry will decide to try and fly the plane himself. When you see the cockpit click around on all the buttons until you hit the ‘autopilot’ button. Once you’ve save the day you’ll switch to Patty in the White House.
Once Larry and Patty are back together Patty will figure out that Mr. Big is really Julius. When he pulls out a gun use the Hooter Shooter to complete the game.
Congratulations on completing Leisure Suit Larry 5!

Death of the Narrative: A Radio News Perspective
May 11, 2013 Jane Mitchinson 2 Comments
Jane working the early morning hours at 570News (circa 2009)
This morning I am struck by a strong sense of time and narrative. Triggered by what, I’m not yet sure. Whether it’s because just this week I noticed a few grey hairs on my head, (for who knows how long; it just snuck up on me). Or whether it’s because my teenage daughter is now starting to fight with me the same way I used to fight with my mother, with a hint of condescension as if to say, “what the heck do you know anyway?-you’re out of touch”. Or, whether it’s the 1993 video veteran newscaster Dick Smyth shared this week of our 680News team in the early days of the first 24/7 news wheel format in Canada. I sense that it’s this latter scenario drawing me in, provoking a strong need to reflect on the perception of time, narrative, and what it does to the psyche. But first, a little background story.
In March of 1988 I was a high school senior partying in Cuba over Spring Break, living in the moment, not thinking too hard about what I really wanted to do after graduation. There were close to fifty other teens who came together from various regions in Ontario, all feeling the same way. We were escaping our futures, holding on to the moment, and to our youth. One of the teens from our small 10-member Niagara group would go on to embrace the future the following year, marrying a co-worker at her part-time student workplace. Still another would go on to serve in the Canadian military, dying 15 years later in Afghanistan from an improvised explosive device going off underneath the Armed forces’ light armoured vehicle he was traveling in. But these were not the potential realities we were thinking about in Cuba. Excited by our new-found independence and celebration of youth as a collective group, we spent the nights drinking and talking, and the days sleeping on the beach.
One late night we let “living in the moment” slip. A boy from Cambridge talked about his plans to go to college for Radio Broadcasting. It was all I could think about for the rest of the trip. What was I going to do with my life? Shortly after I returned home, the sun melted the Spring ice and a TV crew showed up on our door to film my mother for a gardening episode on TVO. I got some advice from a young crew member and set my sights on applying to Ryerson and getting a co-op placement at the local radio station.
At CHSC, the afternoon news anchor and later, my friend Ed Eldred took a chance on me and sent me out to do a story on the tall ships that had sailed into the Welland locks. I found a young sailor who invited me to sit and listen to stories of his travels and description of what a typical day was like living on the ship. It is this first interview that remains ingrained in my memory, succeeded only by a handful of others including an interview with the sister of NHL hockey player Brian Bellows. A strong spirited survivor, Sandy wanted to reach out to other young women after she was raped and savagely beaten in the snowy woods by serial rapist and murderer Peter John Peters. She had lived because a retired police officer overheard her screams of terror and rescued her, and she now had a strong desire to tell her story. I held two pieces of ID up to the window while two dobermans sniffed enthusiastically at the cracks of the door before being let in for a 2 ½ hour interview.
I joined the 680 News team right after graduation. In fact, Dick’s video was taken on the day Jamie Munroe and I had to leave work early to attend convocation. With the fresh 24/7 news wheel format, we were now responsible for getting news out around the clock and by the second. I often think back on this time as the moment radio reporting died for me (though I continued to anchor off and on). Instead of meeting with people and really hearing their narrative, the immediacy of the new format largely forced us into gathering sound bytes with man-on-the-street and over-the-phone interviews. Since that time, other shifts have worked to reinforce its death. Our evolving technology has combined with our post 20th century desire to live in the moment, acting like a hammer hitting the final nail on the coffin of the style of radio reporting I fell in love with almost 25 years ago.
I do not mourn the passing of the radio medium as a major news source sent into the back corners, but rather the passing of a public’s narrative and with it the echoes of empathy heard through the recounted stories of those we connected with; those we took the time to hear. Much the same demise has played out on our 24/7 news television screens, turned by audience desire for immediacy and entertainment. Many of you may argue with me, citing the unusual full-length playing of Charles Ramsey’s step-by-step account of how he saved three kidnapped women and a child from confinement. You may say, “the narrative isn’t dead. They even played the full 2 ½ minutes of Ramsey’s interview this week during a radio newscast”. I can’t help but hope there is a fraction of the public seeking to revive the narrative, but I’m more inclined to believe it’s entertainment they’re after.
Sunday May 12, 2013 Update
More evidence that the narrative is taking a hit for the sake of its audience comes in the Toronto Star today with media analyst Robert Thompson saying, “Basic rules need to be taught, not only on consuming media but how people themselves use media in these completely democratized ways. And that would include a sense of ethics, even if you are not a professional journalist.”
The article is largely about how news outlets keep getting the big news wrong time after time with the pressure to publish first. Coincidentally, the Toronto Star obviously failed to re-read before publishing. Reporter Mitch Potter used direct quotations for a person named Bleier twice. However, Robert Thompson is the man who should have been quoted throughout. He is the director of Syracuse University’s Bleier Centre for Television and Popular Culture. The use of “Bleier calls the rush of…” and “said Bleier” shows that even the Toronto Star can’t seem to write an article on journalistic mistakes without making mistakes of their own.

Neil Andersen says:
I was a Dick Smyth fan in the 70’s when he worked at 1050 CHUM.
Each morning he did a short editorial titled, ‘…and here’s how things look to Dick Smyth this morning.’ They occurred during my drive to school, so I had a cassette tape recorder sitting on the floor under the dash. I would record the editorials as I sat in traffic. At the end of the week, I would listen and transcribe those most teachable as essays—at least 2 of the 5 were teachable. I would hand them out in my English classes and analyze their uses of rhetorical devices, etc.
They were a great source of topical, short, effective persuasive writing. Because they dealt with current issues, the students could relate to them. Because they were short, they got their points across efficiently without becoming boring.
Thanks, Jane, for reminding me of these useful artefacts of my early teaching.
JaneM says:
Dick is a news legend and an excellent provocateur. He taught me a lot about writing. I remember him giving me a copy of Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises” as a study guide for writing style. It was tough writing for Evelyn Macko and Dick. Dick wanted all the details-to pull the audience into the story through description. Evelyn wanted the meat. They drove me nuts, but they taught me a lot about perspective and audiences.

© The British Library Board. Arundel MS 155, folio 7r. November in the Kalendar of the Arundel Psalter, recording the ordination of Saint Alphege.
We plan to hold a workshop on Saturday, 27 February, devoted to Corpus Christi College, MS 44. This imposing eleventh-century manuscript, the Corpus Canterbury Pontifical, contains episcopal services in Latin, with prefatory texts in Old English.
The rites include the dedication of a church, the ordination of various orders of clergy, the coronation of a king and queen and the enthronement of an archbishop returning from Rome with the pallium. The damaged Old English texts include an account of the significance of church bells. The litanies mention saints especially revered at Canterbury; among them St Alphege provides a terminus post quem of 1012 and perhaps 1023. Interlinear Latin glosses are identifiable as the work of a scribe of St Augustine’s Abbey. Added musical notation for services of consecrating both a church and an archbishop imply use for particular occasions, perhaps at Christ Church Cathedral. The book may have been made for an archbishop. It belonged to Ely Cathedral at least by the late medieval period. It shows few signs of use until its extensive restoration for Archbishop Parker in the sixteenth century. Its date, place of origin and early history remain open to question.
The Years’ Long Focus of Research
As the Letter explains,
The manuscript has been the subject of study in our research work at the Parker Library over a number of years. For example, it has been closely examined for a new catalogue of Anglo-Saxon and related manuscripts at Corpus. Its damaged binding calls for repair or replacement, so rebinding may be required. As part of our on-going exploration of the manuscript, the workshop will discuss its character, its problems, its context and related matters. We hope you might attend to give your advice and help.
At Least “Two Sides to Every Storey”
The claims for the manuscript are multiple, especially when viewed across the centuries.
1. Saint Augustine’s Abbey as Possible Maker
With a view toward the Cathedral. For the Corpus Canterbury Pontifical: its Archbishop as a possible patron included. Currying favour may have seemed a Good Plan.

2. Canterbury Cathedral or Its Archbishop(s) as Early Owner

Which Archbishop? How about, say, Lanfranc (as seen in an early image, in Bodl MS 569)? And as presented full-length sternly among the architectural sculptures of 1864–1869 by Theodore Pfyffers placed in niches over the SouthWest Porch of Lanfranc’s successors’ Cathedral?

3. Ely Cathedral
Collecting the Spoils?

Collecting the Spoils, Part II
From Ely after the Reformation into the hands of Matthew Parker. Our detailed research on the manuscript and the evidence for its history makes it possible to identify possible routes from Ely to Parker, and to name names. Not forgetting some associations and affiliations arising from, through or around the marriage in January 1567 of his son John to Joana, daughter of Richard Cox, Bishop of Ely. There are other candidates, too. The entry for MS 44 (Number 46) in the Illustrated Catalogue of Anglo-Saxon, and Early Anglo-Norman Manuscript Art at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge (1997) tells the tale. The current state of the entry distributed among the Handouts at the Workshop spells it all out.

The Speakers
We return to the Invitation Letter. As it says, as usual,
We aim to run the workshop on informal lines, as a round table. This will give plenty of opportunity to respond to the speakers and ask questions.
The subjects:

Mildred Budny will provide an introduction to the manuscript and summarise our research work on it.
Ray Page will comment on its Old English texts and Matthew Parker’s ownership.
Tim Graham will survey its early modern additions and its probable route to Parker from Ely Cathedral.
Catherine Hall will examine its layout and its musical notation as evidence for liturgical use.
Richard Emms will consider the evidence for its origin at St Augustine’s Abbey and its possible ownership by Archbishop Stigand.
David Farmer [David Farmer] will consider its litanies and its possible ownership by Archbishop Lanfranc.
Simon Keynes will be on hand to assess the evidence for its early ownership at Ely through Stigand and for Anglo-Saxon manuscripts at Ely.
Andrew Prescott will discuss the transmission of pontificals in the late Anglo-Saxon and early Anglo-Norman periods.
As always, “We hope that others will contribute to the discussion from their areas of specialisation and interest”.
The Manuscript(s)
The manuscript will be available for examination during the workshop, along with others in the collection. They will include Anglo-Saxon manuscripts containing pontificals or pontifical extracts (MSS 146, 163 and 265) and eleventh-century liturgical or other manuscripts produced at Canterbury (for example, MSS 162, 267 and 270).
As usual, “Other manuscripts may emerge for inspection as they occur to us in the course of the session”.
The Logistics
The workshop will meet in the Parker Library. We will begin at 11 a.m., break for lunch and continue until about 4:30 p.m. Because the College no longer provides lunches on Saturdays we have to adjourn for lunch in town. This time, alas, we must ask our participants to contribute to the cost of lunch, as our Research Group funds cannot cover it. To let us know whom we may expect, please fill out the enclosed form and return it to me as soon as possible.

Page, Mildred Budny, Tim Graham, Catherine Hall, Nicholas Hadgraft, Nigel Wilkins, Simon Keynes, Andrew Prescott, Richard Emms, David Farmer, Christopher Brooke, Nicholas Brooks, Christine Fell, Malcolm Godden, Patrick Wormald, David Wilson, Richard Southern, Martin Brett, Susan Rankin, Tessa Webber, Benedicta Ward.
Present (according to the Notes on the Day in the Research Group Archives):
David H. Farmer, Martin Brett, Richard Emms, Nigel Ramsay, Simon D. Keynes, Jennifer O’Reilly, Andrew Prescott, Pav. Finland, Tessa Webber, Catherine Hall, Nicholas Brooks, Timothy C. Graham, Mildred Budny.
The paper folder for this Workshop preserved in the Research Group Archives retains some preparatory notes and the originals or copies of some of the correspondence for the organisation of the event; a full set of the Handouts issued on the day; and the unnumbered 2-page set of Mildred Budny’s handwritten notes in pencil on the day, with the date and place “27.2.93 / PL” (= Parker Library).
That set records on Page 1 the “running order” for the workshop and the “MSS” brought onto the table, then lists on Page 2 the attendees (see above).
The Running Order
The “running order”, which concludes with an unnumbered item (“discussion: whither?”), lists 11 numbered entries with names (or initials) and sometimes with a brief note on the speaker’s subject. There are a couple of changes to the plan sketched in the Invitation Letter, and also to the handwritten plan.
Thus, although not listed on the prior program, Nicholas Hadgraft spoke about the binding, and two of the intended presenters spoke twice: Tim Graham first “briefly” on the Old English, and then on the 16th-century connection (Numbers 4 and 11 in the list); Catherine Hall first on the character of the manuscript, and then on the neumes (Numbers 3 and 8). In the handwritten list, Nicholas Hadgraft’s position was originally Number “6”, before some shifting in some others’ order. A couple of the numbered items shift position, with arrows to indicate the revised sequence, repositioning upward the position for both David Farmer (originally 7) and Simon Keynes (originally either 6, with a “?”, or 9). Those shifts reposition Nicholas Hadgraft’s presentation in the sequence.
An Aside, Completely On Point
Why Bother to Mention?
Ah, Indeed!
The point of reporting the contrasts — not conflicts but variations in this case — between the sequence proposed in the Invitation Letter and the sequence recorded in the handwritten notes on the day is to reflect that the preparations and the accomplishment remained flexible, responding to the developing requirements, potentials, and opportunities, to which the organisation readily responded. (As ever in the history of the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence.) Also to remind us that the aims presented in circulated notices may not completely correspond to the Actuality of the Event.
To state that the actuality differed in certain respects from the advertised plan is partly to State the Obvious. However, in delving into the Research Group Archives at a distance of more than a couple of decades, while I am still alive and sentient, arouses the observation that not so many reports of scholarly events treat their enactments as living entities, with the interaction between the proposed plan and the actualisation. Is that a problem? Depends on the point of view. For the most part, no. People prepare for and come to an event, present their Stuff and/or Listen and provide feedback, and then everyone goes away. Publications in one form or another might ensue, with another sort, or other sorts, of record(s) for the event and its impact.
That the written, circulated, and published records of an event which unfolds in time may differ in certain respects one from another follows just as day follows night, and vice versa. Examples in the tradition of events organised or co-organised by the Research Group on Manuscript evidence include the varying titles announced for the 2003 Colloquium and the changes to a session or two at several of the International Congresses on Medieval Studies over the years. One of our Blogposts describes some changes to an individual’s documentary record from state to state and from State to State: Lillian Vail Dymond.
Not infrequently, as sometimes recorded on our Pages, when individuals or organisations come to publish the materials or research relating to or emanating from our events, our name is dropped, and not in the good way, as in giving respect or consideration, or even an honourable mention, but just plain dumped. One might think, from such records, that we had nothing whatsoever to do with the efforts.
At present, we survey the whole Series of Seminars and other scholarly Events, in this case the Early Series focused upon “The Evidence of Manuscripts”. There is the unusual opportunity whereby the Archives of an international scholarly organisation which became, in the United States, a nonprofit educational corporation, came into the charge of an expert Archivist (Yours Truly), with scholarly interests as well as organizational experience. Plus an abiding love of manuscripts, the written word, and the transmission of knowledge across the centuries. As witness our blog on Manuscript Studies. As stated in our Mission at the front or HomePage of this website.
Hi! You are Here. And Welcome You Are!
The Manuscripts on the Table
Continuing with the Handwritten Authority. Its list of “MSS” cites certain changes. Besides Corpus Christi College, MS 44, of course, the star of the show, these originals also appeared:
MSS 146
and the “indenture”.
The last item would refer to one of the indentures founding scholarships from Canterbury to Corpus Christi College in 1569 and bearing Matthew Parker’s seal and signature. The instance chosen by Catherine Hall both for inclusion in the exhibition at the Parker Library on “Matthew Parker In Cambridge” (October 1993 – February 1994) and for photography for its exhibition booklet is Archives XLA 14 (reproduced in part, focusing upon Parker’s signature, in Figure 3 of that booklet). The publication offers a worthy contribution, and we gladly honour its scholarship and dedication.

An earlier exhibition booklet includes Corpus MS 44 in its own right. Number 4 here:
“Canterbury at Corpus: An exhibition of manuscripts from St. Augustine’s Abbey, Canterbury, to mark the enthronement of the 103rd archbishop in April 1991“. Exhibition booklet “Selected, with text and photographs, by Mildred Budny (Cambridge: Research Group on Manuscript Evidence, 1991); reprinted in Old English Newsletter, 24:4 (Summer 1991), as Appendix A (A-1–8), not yet online.
Singing from the Manuscript
A treasured highlight of the Workshop on the Corpus Canterbury Pontifical was the sight and sound of Catherine Hall as she stood before its opened pages and sang from its neumed passages. I found it thrilling to witness, and to experience, the use of the manuscript itself for some of the purposes of performance for which it was intended, and for which it had been prepared.
Catherine’s Handouts provided copies of photographs from relevant pages in several manuscripts and her transcriptions of some neumed passages in Corpus MS 44, pages 245, 248, 250, 255 and 264, as well as in Corpus MS 146, pages 63 and 65. Here are specimens from the Antiphons at 1) the anointing of a new Bishop’s hands and 2) the giving of the Pallium (from pages 255 and 264).
Page 5 of Catherine Hall’s Handout for 27 February 1993. Transcription of Neumed Passages from Corpus MS 44, pages 255 and 264.
Already, from many conversations (including those related to the preparations for the “Canterbury at Corpus” exhibition, I knew that Corpus MS 44 was one of Catherine’s favorite manuscripts, and that she belonged to a local choir, with which she regularly performed. (They knew here there by her “other” name, her middle name, Priscilla.) It seemed natural, as well as fortunate, that she contributed her combined expertise to the event.
This moment, bringing the manuscript back to life, in both words and song, forms one of the best memories from the whole First Series of Seminars and Workshops of the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence..

Manuscript Responses
The Research Group Archives preserve the handwritten responses to the Invitation Letter which express regrets from esteemed colleagues. I transcribe them here, using a forward slash (/) to indicate the turning from the recto to the verso of the card or letter.
Vivien Law in her Cambridge Garden in June 1996 (Photograph © Mildred Budny)
Vivien Law‘s double-sided postcard on Sidney Sussex College letterhead, dated “Thursday” and addressed to “Dear Milly”, offers
Many thanks for your/Ray’s invitation to the workshop on Corpus 44. At the moment I’m so pressed for time that I’ve even sunk to the level of cancelling supervisions, / something I don’t think I’ve ever done before except when flat on my back with a good uncompromising bug!
In the circumstances, no, regretfully,
Richard Southern‘s double-sided letter, headed with the imprint of both the announcement that it comes “From: Sir Richard Southern” and his Oxford home address, bears both his date “24.1.93” and salutation “My dear Page”. Then it sets out his reasons, plus a suggestion.
I think the idea of a ‘workshop’ as especially one on CCCC 44 is a splendid one & I should love to come. But I’ve become so deaf that I cannot (with all the apparatus in the world) hear anything anyone says. So I fear I must renounce the pleasures of being present & I’ll look forward to reading the results if, as I hope, you are intending to publish them.
May I suggest the name of someone who (I’m pretty sure) would / like to come & can contribute to the subject:
Sister Benedicta Ward SLG
Convent of the Incarnation
Fairacres
Richard Southern
The Archives include a copy of Mildred Budny’s handwritten letter of 3 February 1993 inviting Sister Ward to the workshop. There is no sign of a response, nor did Sister Ward attend, although we hoped for her presence.
The Handouts include up-to-date printouts of the catalogue entries for Corpus MSS 44, 146, 163, and 265, Part I. The Workshop presented the occasion for feedback and refinements to their descriptions.
There is also a handwritten page which represents a dialogue as the proceedings advanced, only partly according to plan. Written by a single hand (Yours Truly’s), these lines are broadly spaced, with large letter forms. It is right to infer that there were gestured responses or expressions not put-to-page from the Addressee (although the recorded half of the Dialogue was in fact Put-To-Page in both senses).
What do you think about timing? Now 5. [i.e. p.m.]
Very cold [underlined], what
Aim for what time end?
Andrew still to talk
There follows the more calmly composed notes summarising Andrew Prescott’s presentation, with references, for example, to Cotton MS Vitellius A VII and Additional MS 28118 in the British Library.
The Handbook and the Illustrated Catalogue
Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, MS 44 also figures in
The Palaeographical and Textual Handbook and
the Illustrated Catalogue of Anglo-Saxon, and Early Anglo-Norman Manuscript Art at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge (1997).
In the Illustrated Catalogue, this manuscript is Budny, Number 46. In the Palaeographical and Textual Handbook, it is Number IX.

Welcome to my journey
Oral History: Honoring Nurses during COVID-19
Remembering Ewok
PODCAST REVIEW; Veterans Stories: Remembering the D-day Invasion
Presented through the Veteran Wisdom Project. These stories were meant to honor veterans. This podcast in particular honored two veterans; Beasley and Bowers. The author encourages us to honor all veterans on November 11th. To honor a veteran, the author discusses brief moments of Bowers and Beasly. This podcast honors both veterans who were present on D Day in Normandy France.
This collection is not a story of veterans were it is exaggerated and glorified like in the movies. This podcast tells a brief story of Beasly and Bowers and their horrifying moments on D Day. They tell a story of D day realization of the event that occurred.
In the first interview of Jeff Beasly, Beasly recalls his version of D day. Beasly recalls the event when he landed on the beach in Normandy. The expressions and his emotions of peer soldiers awaiting war. Like awaiting death he says.
In a second interview, Luis Bower’s interview recalls his D Day invasion in Normandy. “This was the day and the D day he says.” He recalls running into enemy strong, located on high ground and practically annihilated. Even the German Army reported on the radio they were annihilated. As he was running along a ridge that was 2 to 3 miles long, he reached a hill. Upon reaching the hill, the Germans were waiting to attack. Faced with machine guns and artillery by the Germans, he struggled to cross the valley with his men. At this moment, he remembers recalling a scripture; “As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.” The cost? He lost many men.
As he continued to press on, he ran into the German Company Commander, injured. They laid him in a slip trench and left him to die with his canteens. Just before his departure. he shook the commander’s hand. While in England, he says he recognized a familiar man. That man was the German Commander he left to die.
Bowers continues to recall meeting an event of a young German officer. The officer fired his weapon at Bowers and Bowers fired back. Bowers watched the German soldier from a distance and observed a 20-year-old, paralyzed man. He states, “He felt sick at that moment.” The paralyzed soldier’s last moment was aided by Bowers donating his morphine to ease the young man’s pain. Upon returning home, Bowers says he never hunted again.

The Longest Night by Z. Allora Cover Reveal & Excerpt!
Hi guys! We have Z. Allora popping in today with the cover for her upcoming release The Longest Night, we have a great excerpt so check out the gorgeous cover and enjoy the excerpt! ❤️ ~Pixie~
Z. Allora
The holiday season is lonely for construction worker Benjamin Morgan, a big muscular guy who just wants to submit, obey, and serve. But the men he’s attracted to usually don’t have a dominant bone in their bodies. He’s done seeking his BDSM dreams with someone who isn’t interested in putting him in his rightful place—on his knees at their feet.
When a friend sets up a meeting with Foster Ridgeway at the BDSM club, Entwined, Benjamin has his doubts. Of course he is attracted to bookish Foster, who works for the same construction company, but how will someone so small and delicate-looking master Benjamin? But when Foster–the tiny temple of dominance wielding a crop—heads toward Benjamin, he might get what he’s always wanted, just in time for Solstice.
Release date: 20th December 2019
.•.•.**❣️ Dreamspinner ❣️**.•.•.
Excerpt!
DECEMBER’S PROMISE of rain turning to sleet propelled Benjamin Morgan through the doors of Entwined.
The BDSM club might be overly fancy for Benjamin’s tastes, but everyone accepted his submissive nature. In his early twenties, he discovered Albany’s leather bars and adored their clear definitions of top and bottom, but he never quite fit in. People too often attributed his height and muscles to being dominant—something he certainly wasn’t.
At Entwined, the founders made respect the foundation the club was built on. Disrespecting someone’s beliefs, gender identity, orientation, or fetishes wasn’t tolerated. He was grateful for a safe space to be his most submissive self.
One side of the lush, chandeliered, all-wood entryway was taken up by lockers for members to stash their belongings. The other side housed the club’s administration—a huge mahogany desk, laptop, landline, standing files of blank forms, a cup of purple pens, and a locked filing cabinet.
“Happy holidays, Benjamin!” Audrey shouted from her gatekeeping perch. She was decked out in her usual purple lace and satin.
Benjamin restrained a sigh. He hated the holidays. This year he had hoped that throwing himself into the club’s decorating committee would help soothe the jagged edges that kept him ripped open. He’d have to settle for some mindless sex tinted with a little subspace to survive the holiday season.
“Same to you, Audrey.” He handed her his driver’s license and took the locker key. He tossed his cell phone, wallet, keys, coat, and shirt into the locker box. Damn, if only there were a place to lock away the mistake of reading his brother’s yearly holiday text message.
Please leave your devil worship and gay lifestyle. Save yourself. Repent! Turn away from sin! You have a place at our table when you do.
“Any plans for Solstice?” Audrey played with the white furry ball at the end of her purple Santa hat like a kitten. Sweet of her to remember he was Pagan.
There were only a few other Pagans who belonged to Entwined, but the club owners always encouraged members to celebrate everyone’s traditions, so no one felt left out.
“Nah, just a quiet evening at home.” He might not even cut a Yule tree. Last year he couldn’t, and this year….
“You should celebrate somehow. If I was going to be in town, I’d have you over.” Her frown was out of place on her pretty face.
“Audrey, have fun in the sun with your Master and make sure you post a lot of pictures. I’m counting on you to help me figure out which island I want to go to next year.” He widened his pasted-on smile, hoping to convince her that he’d be fine.
She jumped off her stool and launched herself at him in full-on hug mode. “I know it’s not for several weeks, but just in case I don’t see you, have a very happy Yule and an even better New Year.” Then she whispered, “And most of all, I hope you find a Master.”
He allowed himself to absorb her warmth and affection for a moment, then swallowed around the lump in his throat and thumped her back, maybe a bit too hard. Though knowing her, she probably liked it.
A couple of years ago, he and Audrey bonded at one of Entwined’s bimonthly sub meetings. Their friendship was cemented by their warm feelings on humiliation, collars, and leashes.
Stepping back, he nodded and cleared his throat. “A Master…. Ha, not counting on that fantasy becoming reality anytime soon. Tonight I’m here to meet Sophia.”
“Hey, you never know. Have a great night,” she said as other members entered.
He escaped into the club. Hell, he was done inviting love into his life. He’d be content to find someone who could top him and didn’t expect him to be versatile.
He glanced out over the pine boughs, twinkling lights, and rainbow ribbons that turned Entwined’s main space into a holiday forest. As he trudged down the stone stairway littered with Hanukkah and Kwanzaa symbols, he stopped to reattach the two paper decorations that had slipped off the wall.
At the bottom of the stairs, a huge tree decorated with whips, handcuffs, rope, blindfolds, garland made of twisted bondage tape, and twinkle lights greeted the members. Tables on either side flanked the tree. One was covered in a blue-and-white tablecloth and held a menorah, chocolate coins, and dreidels scattered over it. The other had a red-green-and-black cloth draped over the sides. It held seven handmade candles in a kinara, a unity cup, mat, fruits, nuts, and corn. Across the room, there was another table piled with wrapped presents that would be taken to the homeless shelter later this week.
Holidays highlighted all of Benjamin’s have-nots. He was glad Entwined collected money and presents several times a year to help give folks a few haves.
Benjamin’s mother had always joyfully knitted hats, scarves, and gloves throughout the year, which they would not only take to shelters but to the street for the people too scared to seek help. Unfortunately, last year she’d been too sick, and then early last December she died. Now this year he didn’t know if he could find a reason to celebrate.
Benjamin got some orange juice from the bar and then found a place in the back corner. Maybe he’d chosen the wrong place to sit—a front-row seat to hopeful couples going into the back, subs kneeling next to their Masters, and others emerging from the private rooms, blissed-out and happy.
Sophia tottered over on her heels. “Glad you made it. You weren’t waiting long, were you?”
“Nah, only ten minutes.” He shrugged. “You said you wanted to chat.”
“I know how hard the holidays are after you lose someone. You know she’d want you to find happiness.” Sophia, the paramedic who’d responded last summer when he’d dislocated his shoulder, slid into the seat next to him. They’d recognized each other at the sub meetings and become fast friends ever since.
She put her elbows on the table and leaned close to stare at him.
He fidgeted and gestured to the room. “I tried something different. I helped decorate at the party.”
“Only because I begged.”
“I stayed to the very end.” Mostly because the day after Thanksgiving no one else had come who was tall enough, even with the ladder, to put the bondage angel on top of the tree. He glanced over—she did look beautiful all trussed up like that.
Sophia pointed at the fireplace. “But you haven’t cut a Yule log.”
He shrugged, trying not to look like a bad Pagan for not taking care of it. “I’m sure someone will do it.”
She gazed out over the area. “Any prospects here for you?”
He shook his head. “Nah.”
“What about that hot guy at your work who was asking you out?”
An image of Foster Ridgeway’s bright blue eyes behind his wire-framed glasses—which didn’t hide his pretty face—danced through Benjamin’s head. The glasses gave Foster a bookish yet stern expression. Benjamin couldn’t help feeling regret at avoiding him. “He’s stopped asking. Besides, he’s the boss.”
She tsked at him. “He’s in management, but he’s not your boss. From what you’ve said, your crew doesn’t even report to him.”
He hated that Sophia yanked away his excuse, because now only the truth glared at him. Maybe he was doing the same stereotyping that bit him in the ass, but he didn’t want to be disappointed by expecting the barely five-foot-five sexiness would want to top him on a regular basis or even ever.
“You could ask him out.” She nudged him.
Benjamin couldn’t imagine doing the inviting. “Sophia, have you not met me? I can’t do any such thing. Besides, I’m telling you, it wouldn’t work.”
Though it didn’t stop Benjamin from jerking off to visions of Foster. Oh, how I’d show my appreciation if Foster fucked me.
About Z!
Z. Allora never expected to share her words with anyone, but things don’t always work out as planned. Growing up in Upstate NY, she was a tomboy: playing basketball in the park, twirling a rifle in color guard, and in secret she composed stories filled with angst.
She didn’t always believe in romance, although before giving up on it completely, she took out a personal ad in a college newspaper. On October 20th 1987, at 5:08 PM she found what she didn’t think existed, and married her best friend five years later.
A bit of an overachiever, Z. received three Bachelor’s degrees (Psychology, English & Philosophy) and a Master’s degree in Psychology. She loved enhancing the quality of life of people in her residential and day programs, but her love’s job swept Z. overseas to Singapore, Israel and China.
While living in China, she discovered M/M romance and a new world opened. The magic of the genre gave her new insights about herself and those around her. When she saw protests in Malaysia by parents who genuinely believed watching a singer could make their children gay, the ignorance was too staggering to ignore. No longer content to keep her words to herself, she published her stories hoping to add another voice to foster understanding, and to promote equality.
Z. Allora believes that each of us is wonderfully unique and deserving of a happily ever after. Regardless of where we are in the infinite spectrum of gender identity, orientation, or sexuality our differences and similarities should be both respected and celebrated.
However, Z. will never apologize for having too much yaoified smexy goodness in her books. She teases that plot is simply the words between the sex scenes (though that’s a bit of an exaggeration). Sex is one of our most important and basic forms of communication, and she feels it’s a vital part of understanding her characters.
Z. Allora truly believes this rainbow romance is changing hearts and minds, and will continue to speak out for love for all of us

Effects of heroin on rat prosocial behavior
“It is no surprise that illicit drug use, and even misuse of the legal drug alcohol, all diminish our humanity – our care for self, our capacity, or even agency. To quote the Dalai Lama… “A person who uses drugs gives up his or her authentic self.”
However, it’s the robbing of the drug user of the capacity to ‘give a damn’ about others where real harms multiply. Don’t care? Then drug use is the friend of your sociopathy! If you do care however – ‘give a damn’ – then drug use has no place in your humanity.”
Opioid use disorders are characterized in part by impairments in social functioning. Previous research indicates that laboratory rats, which are frequently used as animal models of addiction-related behaviors, are capable of prosocial behavior. For example, under normal conditions, when a 'free' rat is placed in the vicinity of rat trapped in a plastic restrainer, the rat will release or 'rescue' the other rat from confinement. The present study was conducted to determine the effects of heroin on prosocial behavior in rats. For 2 weeks, rats were given the opportunity to rescue their cagemate from confinement, and the occurrence of and latency to free the confined rat was recorded. After baseline rescuing behavior was established, rats were randomly selected to self-administer heroin (0.06 mg/kg/infusion i.v.) or sucrose pellets (orally) for 14 days. Next, rats were retested for rescuing behavior once daily for 3 days, during which they were provided with a choice between freeing the trapped cagemate and continuing to self-administer their respective reinforcer. Our results indicate that rats self-administering sucrose continued to rescue their cagemate, whereas heroin rats chose to self-administer heroin and not rescue their cagemate. These findings suggest that rats with a history of heroin self-administration show deficits in prosocial behavior, consistent with specific diagnostic criteria for opioid use disorder. Behavioral paradigms providing a choice between engaging in prosocial behavior and continuing drug use may be useful in modeling and investigating the neural basis of social functioning deficits in opioid addiction.

Party Drug Use Growing? Permission Modelling is Enabling!
The following article reveals, yet again, what we at the Institute have known for the last 3-4 years.
Here we again see, supposedly intelligent (at least ‘educated’) self-aware, and clearly product aware people, deliberately seeking out illicit substances, purchasing them with disposable income, not due to the tyranny of addiction, but for a planned and sought after ‘party experience’.
The awareness of risk and harm is not an issue with this demographic as experimentation is increasing, not decreasing. The perception of risk is being eroded with every pro-drug liberalizing mantra, every misuse of Harm Reduction mechanism and every other tacit permission given by a ‘wink at drug use’ by the drug-culture gate-keepers and their promoters and permitters.
This entire risk taking, self-intoxicating and law-breaking activity is a calculated process that gives no regard to best health and community practice. ‘Legalizing’ or even ‘testing’ these drugs will have no bearing on this cohort, as they care only for their next hedonic excursion and they are fully convinced (due to much of the above) that the risks in these practices are manageable.
Of course, they are also fully aware that the ‘Nanny-State’ that they decry and so carelessly ‘thumb their nose at’ with utter contempt, will be there for them when their self-indulgence fails them – Nanny-State Ambulance will take them to a Nanny-State hospital, where free Nanny-State health care will attempt to restore them to a semblance of what they once were prior to the self-harm. And, finally, if that doesn’t ‘reboot’ them for the next round of partying, then the Nanny-State will supply the welfare to care for their permanent self-sabotage!
The hypocritical cacophony of all this is as deafening as the cognitive dissonance is breathtaking!
When will the ‘user pay’? It appears never! Social responsibility and accompanying justice cannot come into play because someone else will always pick up the tab – That someone else is inevitably the silent majority of non-drug taking citizens, who are rapidly also becoming the ‘gagged’ victims of this pro-drug cohort and their manipulatively emotive speech codes.
Yet another reason why this conduct, this behaviour needs to remain illegal. Civil Society demands that, even if we don’t care about ourselves, that we must still regard the health, safety, productivity and well-being of those around us – particularly our societies children.

Multiple substance abuse rife
Young people are increasingly turning to purer forms of party drugs that are stronger and potentially more harmful, a new report on Australian drug trends has revealed.
Findings released on Monday by the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC) show the percentage of people using ecstasy in crystal or capsule form has hit record levels over the past decade.
Ecstasy crystals and capsules often contain a higher purity of the drug, and are reportedly stronger than ecstasy pills, the researchers said
Dr Amy Peacock, program lead for drug trends at NDARC, cautioned that the findings do not represent drug use in the general population but the trends observed in this recent study are a cause for concern.
“Use of higher-purity stimulants can increase the risk of experiencing acute and long-term negative health effects,” Dr Peacock said.
The researchers also found an overwhelming majority of users were combining ecstasy and other stimulants with a cocktail of other drugs, including cannabis and LSD.
“Nine in 10 participants reported the last time that they used an illicit stimulant that they’d also used cannabis, some depressants such as alcohol, they might have used hallucinogens like LSD, or a dissociative [painkillers such as ketamine],” Dr Peacock said.
“That combination of substances can be quite risky in terms of the likelihood of experiencing an adverse health event.”
Ketamine is a prescription medicine that is used by doctors and vets as an anaesthetic or painkiller. Known as ‘K’ or ‘Special K’, the substance is illegally used to induce a trance-like state.
When combined with other substances, especially alcohol or anti-anxiety medicines, the unpredictable drug can affect breathing or stop it altogether.
Cocaine use has also increased to record levels in the past decade, from 23 per cent in 2003 to 59 per cent in 2018.
Another NDARC study sample, involving 910 illicit drug users, found crystal methamphetamine use is also higher in 2018. Half of the survey respondents reported using meth on a weekly or more frequent basis.
Higher purity’ party drugs on the rise among young people
Superb New Book: Chemical Slavery – Dr Robert L Dupont MD.
https://www.amazon.com/Chemical-Slavery-Understanding-Addiction-Stopping/dp/1985750325
This extremely ambitious book by Dr. Robert DuPont is the first book that I know of by a leader in the drug abuse prevention and treatment field that has highlighted the message of Pope Francis: that engaging in drug taking for experiential purposes is tantamount to allowing oneself to become enslaved. No one would ever willingly accept such a fate. When one gives up one’s will power, the theosophists say that one gives up one’s soul power. The Dalai Lama has said that a person who uses drugs give up his or her authentic self. This book provides a range of significant roadmaps that have been used by a country, Sweden; and by institutions, treatment programs, families, and individual drug users and addicts, to safeguard or sustain and retain that authentic drug-free selfhood. By bringing to light in one place, many of these roadmaps, Dr. DuPont shares insights into how that authentic self can be safeguarded from the pitfalls of drug taking behavior. He shares insights into the steps that many have taken to retain or reclaim their authentic selves, initiative, will power, brain power, judgment, creativity, and essential humanity.
Paula D. Gordon, PhD
Life or Death After a Non-Fatal Drug Overdose
Research studies (see Stoové et al, 2009) have long associated surviving a drug overdose with the increased likelihood of a future non-fatal or fatal drug overdose. In a 2017 Massachusetts study of opioid overdoses, 10% of those who survived died within the next year from a drug overdose or other causes. In one of the most rigorous U.S. follow-up studies, Dr. Mark Olfson and colleagues compared the mortality rates of people who had survived a non-fatal opioid overdose to demographically matched members of the general U.S. population. They found that those who survived an opioid overdose died in the next year at 24 times the mortality rate of those in the general population, with most deaths attributed to drug-related diseases, subsequent overdose, circulatory disease, respiratory disease, cancer, HIV, viral hepatitis, and suicide. In another study that might be christened an investigation into lost opportunities, Dr. Linn Gjersing and colleagues found in a retrospective analysis of people who died of a drug overdose that 61% had previously sought emergency medical care and that 18% were frequent users of emergency medical services. The reasons for seeking past emergency care included somatic complaints (48%), injury (44%), alcohol and other drug-related medical problems (32%), and drug overdose (26%).
This is just one of the reasons why it is vital to divert drug users into recovery programs, not simply enable and equip them to continue self-harming with substances – These drug use endorsing mechanisms only increase the risk of harm that the same so-called ‘harm reduction’ strategies are supposed to lessen!

Passionate About High-End Sneakers? Not As Much As JStacks
December 21 15:03 2020 by admin
Meet JStacks
Giovanni Magnanti, also known as Johnny or JStacks, is a Phoenix, Arizona blogger who grew up with a passion for sneakers, especially high-end ones. He began his love of sneakers when he put on a pair of Nike Jordan’s at a young age, and his passion for the community has only grown with his age.
JStacks appreciates the joy of getting a new pair of good, stylish sneakers all the more because they were not commonplace in his childhood. This has stayed with him and become an integral part of his connection to the sneaker community.
As JStacks grew, he never forgot when he was younger. His mom wasn’t always able to give him any new sneaker, let alone the cutting edge, cool one, which has inspired him to not only share his still evergrowing sneaker collection but to build his following and page to the point where he can have frequent giveaways on his Instagram page at https://www.instagram.com/iamjstacks/.
“I remember when my mother could not afford to purchase new shoes for me as a kid, and because of that, I want to give back to the community through free giveaways and donations to single moms and less fortunate children throughout Arizona.” – Giovanni Magnanti (aka Johnny or JStacks)
Shoes For The Future
JStacks has worked hard to comprise a team with anywhere from six to eight people on it at any point in time. These team members are all sneaker enthusiasts who share JStacks vision of giving back through giveaways and donations of sneakers. Therefore, they all put their funds into the pot to buy the sneakers awarded to the giveaway winners.
JStacks doesn’t stop there, however. He uses his funds to purchase both new sneakers and shoes for children in need not only in AZ but in many cities throughout the United States. JStacks believes that new shoes can help a child feel more confident in themselves and that this new pair of shoes could take them to new heights in their life and new places.
By providing those less fortunate children with a pair of fabulous new shoes, they can build to make new memories and achieve more milestones in life.
Get Entered
If anyone is interested in being entered into the giveaways that could deliver a pair of Nike Jordan Retro 1’s to you, follow Giovanni’s page @iamjstacks. All it takes to be entered in the giveaway is to follow his Insta and comment on your shoe size on the giveaway announcement posts.

The Palladium Open House takes place at the Palladium warehouse and attracts people from across the country and around the world. Please spread the word and let gamers know, because this event only happens every few years. (The last one was in 2018.)
Game with the Game-Makers
We try to make every POH amazing and special. I mean, how often do any of us get to hang out with 30-40 Palladium creators or a few hundred gamers from around the globe? Where else can you ask the game creators for player tips, G.M. advice, or the back story behind your favorite games and characters? Only at the Palladium Open House.
The Palladium Open House is like a big family reunion or four day party. There have been good times and bad times, and through it all we had Palladium fans at our sides and helping out, meaning every POH is a celebration of YOU, our fans, as much as anything else. This one will be extra special because we will be celebrating Palladium’s 40th Anniversary. So if you can, please join us for what is going to be a Palladium gaming extravaganza.
Kevin Siembieda runs games, talks with fans, signs books, participates in panel talks and tries to be there for YOU from when the doors open till 11:00 PM every single day. And the same can be said of most of the Palladium personalities from around the world. Sit down with Kevin Siembieda, the Palladium staff, writers, artists and other creators to talk and laugh about almost anything. We’ve been told repeatedly by those who have attended past POHs that the atmosphere is that of a joyful family reunion where they feel welcomed as friends.
What’s our secret? We’re gaming geeks like you and we are happy to see you. Whether you are someone we’ve come to know over the years and consider a friend, or a gamer we have never met before, we are happy to spend this special weekend of gaming with you.
That’s the beauty of the Open House, it’s not like a big convention. You get to spend quality time with Kevin, the Palladium staff and our many writers, artists and creators, up close and personal. We are happy to talk about gaming, the creative process, movies, comic books, writing, drawing, licensing, Hollywood, and just about anything else you might want to talk about. You can have in-depth conversations because the venue is so small and intimate, not at all like big conventions. And you do it all at the Palladium offices and warehouse where the magic happens.
This year, special guests are likely to include cover artist John Zeleznik, chief writer and line editor behind Rifts® for Savage Worlds® Sean Robertson, and Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man artist and long-time Palladium fan favorite artist, Ramon K. Perez. They are special guests, because it is difficult to get them to find the time to attend any gaming event, let alone all appear at the same event.
All in stock Palladium products are available for purchase, from prints and T-shirts to RPG books and coffee mugs. We always have a selection of new T-shirts and speciality items available for the first time ever at the Palladium Open House, too. There is also a wide range of original art, prints, and rare, signed and out of print book titles and unique collectibles available. Some of the rarest and most unique items are offered in the live auction Saturday evening. IN ADDITION, many of the artists and writers bring original art, art prints and specialty items for sale from them individually, and some will do character sketches.
It all adds up to an incredible experience.
The price of admission covers ALL events (except VIP day). The price of admission gives you access to all the guests, Kevin and crew, as well as the gaming events (first come, first served registration), panel talks, auction and other activities. Three days of Palladium gaming, laughs and fun.

Hotel Reservations – No later than March 27, 2022
Two clean, nice hotels that we have used in the past to choose from. Comfort Inn Plymouth-West Livonia (upscale) or Red Roof Inn (no frills economy). Both are approximately 3 miles from Palladium Books (39074 Webb Court, Westland, Michigan, 48185) and are located off of I-275 on Ann Arbor Road. Plenty of places to eat just down the road west of both hotels.
2022 POH Dates are yet to be determined. NOTE: Both hotels have agreed to allow people to get the Palladium Group Rate Discount if you arrive a day or two before the POH or stay a day or two after the POH dates. This is especially helpful for our volunteers and friends who like to show up to help a couple days before the Open House and stay till the Monday or Tuesday after the event.
Comfort Inn Plymouth-West Livonia – $99 per night
MUST reserve by March 27, 2022 to get Group Rate, but we suggest reserving your room as soon as possible.
40455 Ann Arbor Road
Phone: 734-455-8100 and ask for the Palladium Books Group Block
$99.00 plus tax per night for a 2 Queen Beds Room at the Comfort Inn. All room have the following:
- 2 queen-size beds
- Microwave and refrigerator
- Premium bedding
- Separate work area
- Flat-screen TV
- Coffee maker
Other Amenities at the Comfort Inn include:
- Free premium WiFi
- Free hot breakfast
- Meeting space
- Indoor pool
Make sure you tell them you want the Palladium Books Group Block.
Red Roof Inn #016 (Plymouth) – $50-55 per night
(734) 459-3300 and ask for the Palladium Books Group Block
$49.95 plus tax per night for 2 Double Beds in the Room – or – one king-size bed single. Note: You must request TWO double beds to insure that’s what you get. I believe only 30 rooms with double beds are available, plus 20 king-size bed singles and 10 of the Superior King, below. Make sure you tell them you want the Palladium Books Group Block and request TWO beds if that’s what you need. I think they have free Wi-Fi, but I’m not sure as this is a basic no frills hotel.
$55 for a Superior King with mini-fridge, microwave, desk, one king-size bed, and space for one or two sleeping bags or air mattresses. NOTE: The Red Roof Inn allows you to bring one or two sleeping bags or air mattresses with you for one or two additional roommates AND have extra bedding (sheet, comforter) upon request. Pretty nice of them to allow that. This also makes a decent room for gaming after hours.
Both hotels are down the street from each other and are only approximately 3 miles away from the Palladium warehouse, located right off I-275 and Ann Arbor Road in Plymouth, Michigan.
Group Rate: Must ask for the “Palladium Books Group Rate” at the time of booking to ensure the correct lower rate will be quoted and billed to you. Credit cards are not billed until the date of the actual event.
POH Dates are yet to be determined.
Extend your stay at the same discount rate – before and/or after the POH at both hotels. Make sure the hotel knows you are coming in early or staying longer and want the “Palladium Books Group Rate” for your entire stay.
Reserve your room as soon as possible. If you know you are coming, reserve your room NOW. The hotels do not charge your credit card till the day before the event and you can cancel up to three days before the event. No risk. No cost to you now. And you guarantee your room. Furthermore, the number of double beds is limited at both. Book your room NOW to get this great price and location (five minutes from the Palladium office). Special Group Rate ENDS March 27, 2022.
Airport Note: The hotels and Palladium’s warehouse are 15-20 minutes from Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) in Romulus, Michigan, near I-275. Detroit Metro is the airport you want to use. Both hotels are down the street from each other about a half a mile apart. Many places to eat on Ann Arbor Road west of the highway.
Please tell others about the POH
Many Palladium fans don’t know anything about the Palladium Open House, so please tell them about this awesome event so they can join the fun and share the experience. The more the merrier.
Open House Game Masters, earn a free T-Shirt and 30% Discount
Run three or more games and get a FREE special G.M. T-shirt unveiled for the first time at the POH and a 30% Game Master Supreme discount on Palladium’s RPG books, T-shirts and most other items (sorry, excludes original art, limited editions, art prints, auction items and convention exclusive products).

And yes, that can include the Robotech® RPG and RRT since it is for your own enjoyment. Run three or more events to get that special, debut T-shirt and special G.M. Supreme discount.
Palladium Megaversal Ambassadors, Palladium creators, and any experienced Game Master planning to come to the 2022 Palladium Open House – please let us know if you are planning to run one or more gaming events. Thank you.

WWW.WEDNESDAY
WWW.WEDNESAY asks us three questions to prompt you to speak bookishly. To participate, and to see how other book lovers responded, click here.
Alibi in High Heels by Gemma Halliday. Shoe designer Maddie Springer just got her big break: an invitation to Fashion Week in Paris! But before she can get to The City of Lights, there's a bone-breaking car accident. Once she arrives, there's a jewel heist and a model is murdered and it's starting to look like someone is setting Maddie up as a suspect and putting her life in danger.
This is fluff. It begins, "I love shoes. I mean, I really, really love them." It's lightweight in every sense of the word: it not only provides glamorous, mindless escape, it's a small paperback that fits easily into my purse.
But you know what? After the big, thought-provoking and at times heartbreakingly sad biography I just finished (see below), lightweight escapism could be just what the doctor ordered. Let's hope it delivers. Author Gemma Halliday is certainly prolific and popular, so my hopes are as high as Maddie's heels.
2. What did you recently finish reading?
Joe DiMaggio: The Hero's Life by Richard Ben Cramer. This exhaustive (546 pages!) biography was exhausting in its pervasive sadness. Here was a man who simply did not/could not enjoy his gifts.
He was unbelievably graceful, independent and disciplined. He had a high pain threshold. His hitting streak (56 games!) remains untouched after more than 70 years. On the field, he was a champion that generations of Americans looked up to.
Off the field, though ... he was petty and jealous, disrespecting the older Lou Gehrig and resenting the younger Mickey Mantle. He was cheap. Understandable, perhaps, because he came from poverty. His moral relativism made me nuts. On the one hand, he wouldn't appear on a dais with then-President Bill Clinton because he didn't approve of the Lewinsky scandal. Fair enough. But Joe, didn't you invest with a mobster who (certainly) had people murdered and (allegedly) incinerated them in his backyard barbecue pit?
He made himself unhappy. He only seemed to want his first wife when she made herself elusive. No wonder she eventually tired of him and moved on. And then of course, his second wife. Marilyn.* His love and loyalty were indomitable and enduring. But he didn't seem to "hear" her. Seemingly to the day she died, he believed she was willing to walk away from her career and just be his wife.
Cramer gives this big man and his sprawling life their due. He writes well about Joe and baseball, about Joe and the Italian-American community (especially important during WWII), about Joe and Marilyn. I loved this passage about Marilyn's nude calendar shoot: "[It] would become an enormous public relations triumph -- one of the building blocks of her legend. And, at the cost of his own lifelong heartache, so would Joe."
I just wish, for both his sake and mine, he really was the man I thought he was when I cracked open this book.
*You don't have to ask "Marilyn, who?" do you? He married a myth even more enduring than his own.
3. What will you read next?
Has anyone read Meg Wolitzer? She's sitting atop my TBR pile with a book called Surrender, Dorothy. There are also more biographies and more mysteries awaiting my attention.

Program Background & Overview
Analytics is an essential skill needed to run your business successfully. Common applications of analytics include the study of business data using mathematical & statistical analysis to discover and understand patterns which will help predict & improve business performance in the future. Analytics is an integral part of most businesses, and most successful entrepreneurs and business managers have generally been analysts in their own right, even if the analysis they have been doing has largely been intuitive.
It was projected, sometime during 2013, that 90% of the world's data had been created during the preceding two years going back from that date. However, many businesses still lack the ecosystem, talent & orientation to process and analyze all this data in order to gain competitive advantages and new insights about their markets and customers. With the right analytical tools and algorithms applied to the pertinent volumes of data, major insights can be gained and strategies devised, particularly in the domains of Marketing, Customer Services and HR, among others. The accuracy of answers, based on key queries posed by functional managers in these domains, would also improve significantly. Forecasts and projections, based on intuitive analysis, often no longer deliver the competitive edge necessary for businesses to stay ahead.
Analytics can be a rigorous and ever-evolving discipline and data scientists and analysts need to have a sound quantitative background and hands-on knowledge of the many tools, apps and algorithms needed to massage the relevant data and arrive at certain answers. However, it is up to the functional manager and professional to pose the ‘right questions’ and seek the relevant projections which will enable the business to keep its nose ahead of the competition.
Key Takeaways for Participants
Identifying and Framing the Analytical Problem: A proper quantitative analysis starts with recognizing a problem or decision and beginning to solve it. In decision analysis, this step is called framing.
Working with Quantitative People: Speaking of quantitative analysts, it’s really important for managers & functional professionals to establish a close working relationship with them. While you have the understanding of the business problem; your “quant” has the understanding of how to gather data on and analyze it.
Understanding Different Types of Data and Their Implications: These days, you’ll hear a lot about big data and how valuable it can be to your business. But most managers don’t really understand the difference between big and small data.
Understanding Different Types of Analytics and Their Implications:. Predictive analytics use statistical models on data about the past to predict the future. Prescriptive analytics create recommendations for how workers can make decisions in their jobs.
Exploring Internal and External Uses of Analytics: Managers & professionals need to be aware of the distinction between internal and external uses of analytics. While, historically, analytics were used almost exclusively to support internal decisions, presently, several companies are also using data and analytics to create new products and services.
Putting Analytics to Work Yourself: ‘R’ is arguably the most widely used programming language for Analytics. A knowledge of ‘R’ programming equips a functional manager or executive to write programs for some of the analytics required for his or her functional area, without having to depend on the organization’s IT or data science team. This could include retrieving data from relevant internal & external datasets, managing and querying databases and developing algorithms which help to establish relationships between various datasets, leading to new functional & operational insights.

Cherokee Princess Flowering Dogwood flowers
Cherokee Princess Flowering Dogwood in bloom
Height: 30 feet
Spread: 35 feet
Possibly the ultimate small specimen tree, famous for its huge yet delicate white blooms in spring; extremely fussy, requires rich, well-drained acidic soil and adequate precipitation; one of the hardiest, best with some shelter
Cherokee Princess Flowering Dogwood features showy clusters of white flowers with white bracts held atop the branches in mid spring. It has forest green foliage which emerges burgundy in spring. The pointy leaves turn an outstanding brick red in the fall. It produces red berries from early to late fall. The warty gray bark adds an interesting dimension to the landscape.
Cherokee Princess Flowering Dogwood is a multi-stemmed deciduous tree with a stunning habit of growth which features almost oriental horizontally-tiered branches. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.
This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. It is a good choice for attracting birds to your yard. Gardeners should be aware of the following characteristic(s) that may warrant special consideration;
Cherokee Princess Flowering Dogwood is recommended for the following landscape applications;
Cherokee Princess Flowering Dogwood will grow to be about 30 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 35 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 4 feet from the ground, and should not be planted underneath power lines. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 30 years.
This tree does best in full sun to partial shade. It requires an evenly moist well-drained soil for optimal growth, but will die in standing water. It is very fussy about its soil conditions and must have rich, acidic soils to ensure success, and is subject to chlorosis (yellowing) of the leaves in alkaline soils. It is quite intolerant of urban pollution, therefore inner city or urban streetside plantings are best avoided, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This is a selection of a native North American species.

Curtis Woodman’s full part – Surf The Earth
News, Videos
Check out Curtis Woodman’s full part from the Arbor Snowboard’s Surf the Earth series. We’re stoked to report Curtis be working with Arbor Snowboards to film the series again this season too! Curtis is known for his surfy-style, lofty Methods, and love for pow. Swing by his Instagram account as well to see where on Earth he’s surfing now.
– Arbor Snowboards
Curtis Woodman has been gracing the snowboard world with quality footage for nearly a decade. With ender parts in the Neoproto and Think Thank filmographies, Curtis has cemented his place as one of snowboarding saltiest, surfiest, most barreled-est dawgs. Without further ado, we at Arbor Snowboards are proud to release Curtis’ full part from Season 2 of his upcoming web series, “Surf The Earth”.
Curtis Woodman is an individual to the fullest extent. It’s difficult to define Curtis as both his snowboarding and personality fall outside of any societal preconceptions or stereotypes. He picks his own line down the mountain and hides in the white room most of the winter. We’ve been lucky enough to get a glimpse into the mind of Curtis through his Surf The Earth video series over the past few months. And now, without further ado, Curtis presents the culmination of all his hard work from last season in his Surf The Earth – Full Part.
Since ‘95, The Arbor Collective has been a growing cooperative of designers, artists and friends, whose shared goal is building rideable and wearable things from the best stuff possible. From day one, it’s been good times, all day, every day, almost without fail. Along the way, we’ve managed to combine a little forward thinking design and old school craftsmanship, with a serious commitment to the environment.
We launched the brand in ‘95 with snowboards. We were determined to build with a more out front use of beneficial materials such as wood, bamboo, and other sustainable stuff. The goal was to match the riding experience, improve performance, and highlight art that reinforced the Arbor story. The mission will always be to produce the highest quality, handmade snowboards possible, and hopefully inspire a few people to be part of leading the effort to protect the planet.
RETURNING ROOTS
For us, the desire to protect the planet comes from time spent out in the environment – on the hill, in the surf, on the road. This compels us to design responsibly whenever and wherever possible. Since day one, it has been the inspiration behind the brand – give back, plant trees. The Latin name for tree is Arbor.
To that end, a portion of every sale is donated to groups that plant trees. Today our principal partner is Hawaiian Legacy Forests. We are committed to supporting their efforts to restore forest ecosystems in Hawaii. Hawaii just happens to be where it all started.

Review by Arthur April 6, 2010 (3 of 3 found this review helpful)
Performance: Sonics:
Jean-Marc Luisada seems to have managed to turn a promising start into a career somewhat off the beaten path. Though he is known in France and Japan, mention of him elsewhere often provokes the question, "who?" This is a great shame, because Luisada is one of the great secrets in the modern world of piano playing! The light went on for me when I heard him play Granados. Granados had never really excited me. I had tried numerous De Laroccha recordings and then Ciccolini, but somehow Granados never spoke to me. But when I heard Luisada, everything clicked! He got terrible reviews: the tempos were too slow, the rhythms wrong, etc. But to me, Luisada had an inner ear for the spirit of the music. To be captivated, you had to give yourself up completely to the experience and trust Luisada enough to enter his world. But if you did, he rewarded you immensely!
But enough of tangents. What about his Chopin? Well, first off, you should know, the one specialty that IS acknowledged is his Chopin. His style is not in the Rubinstein school where everything is clarified. Nor is he a Horowitz or a Weissenberg who try to overwhelm you with the glitter and clarity of the notes. No, Luisada is a very Romantic player. He will stretch a phrase - or compact it - if that achieves his expressive aims. And what are those aims? To enter a world of mystery and magic! For Luisada, Chopin was a poet! That's how it should be for all of us, but in this day and age, most of us don't have time for poetry! About three and a half minutes in to the Polonaise-Fantasie, the virtuoso player will try to wow you with the grandiosity of the phrase, but Luisada plays it as an arching phrase - a yearning phrase. At six and a half minutes into the Scherzo, he gives us a phrase that others overdo, he sees it as a confession. When he does build to a climax (approaching eight minutes into the same Scherzo) it is organic. What follows is a catharsis. And that's how poetry works!
I won't be without the Pollini Polonaises, but there has to be space in the world for the Luisada approach or Chopin will get lost!
I have all Luisada's Chopin recordings and I consider myself blessed. But I am doubly blessed to have one of them in such splendid DSD sound. The one disappointment is that the disc does not include the opus 45 Prelude as listed on this site. But the two Nocturnes, the Barcarolle, and the fourth Scherzo should entice anyone who is on the fence!
I am extremely excited to hear his new recording of the Mazurkas. His earlier DG recording is my reference. And I await with bated breathe April 21st to see what new thoughts he has!

Meet the Safety Doc
Coronavirus is our Chernobyl | LIVESTREAMED 4-11-2020 | The Safety Doc Podcast #129
By safetydoc23 | April 12, 2020
[Podcast] As an American teenager during the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, Doc recalls being cautioned to stay inside whenever it rained due to radioactive rain; camera companies warning people that film images might be peppered with blotches due to radiation; isotopes destroying farm fields; and to brace for an outbreak of cancer. In this livestream, he explains why the coronavirus event is similar to the 1986 Chernobyl disaster and also the flaws with calling the pandemic “our generation’s 9/11.”
DIRECT LINK to MP3 of this Episode: https://tinyurl.com/SDP129-AUDIO
MEET TEENAGE DOC
In 1986, Doc lived with his parents and brother in a small town in central Wisconsin. He played baseball, mowed lawns and fished under the bridge. And, a bomb shelter in his home’s basement was a daily reminder that the United States and Soviet Union were on the brink of WWIII. The radio station played Nena’s chart-topper “99 Red Balloons,” a song protesting nuclear war; the movie Rocky IV portrayed Russia as corrupt, evil and powerful – only to fall due to the determination and grit of American boxer Sylvester Stallone. ABC’s 1983 TV movie “The Day After” left an indelible mark on Americans questioning what would happen if the US was pulverized by Soviet ICBMs.
CHERNOBYL NUCLEAR REACTOR DISASTER
On April 26, 1986, there was an explosion in the number 4 reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor Power Plant in Prypyat (Ukraine) spreading radioactive clouds all over Europe and a large part of the globe.
CHERNOBYL CONTINUED TO DETERIORATE
The accident caused the largest uncontrolled radioactive release into the environment ever recorded for any civilian operation, and large quantities of radioactive substances were released into the air for about 10 days. This caused serious social and economic disruption for large populations in Russia and Europe – and placed the entire northern hemisphere on high alert for months.
THE RESPONSE TO CHERNOBYL – WHAT THE PUBLIC WAS TOLD
The Russian government and state-controlled Russian media were slow to alert the public. Police wore gas masks, but residents only heard rumors. In Prypiat, life briefly went on as usual and seven weddings were held the day following the disaster. The government was uncertain how to stop the radioactive fires. Water would just intensify the blaze. Sand was an option, but it had to be delivered by helicopters – dumped into the damaged reactor – that could take weeks or months – and it might not work. 36 hours after the explosion, the 47,000 inhabitants of the nearby city of Prypiat were evacuated via more than a thousand buses.
PERMANENT TEMPORARY EVACUATION
Residents were told to take few personal belongings and identity papers and that they would return home in several days. They never returned home. Prypiat, and a large swatch of land around Chernobyl, was deemed inhabitable for at least 180 years.
HOW THE CHERNOBYL DISASTER IMPACTED DOC
Nuclear radiation was hard to comprehend and you couldn’t perceive it with your senses (similar to a virus). Fires, floods and tornadoes were tangible – radioactive isotopes were obscure sci-fi, but the tone of the reporters, the behavior of adults, it was obvious that this was a serious situation. Media advised people to avoid the rain because it might cause cancer. Doc’s baseball coach rambled about radioactive particles on the field and how players should “wash up” after practice or a game to chase away radioactive particles. Doc’s mom canned vegetables throughout the summer and fall to offset potential food shortages due to contaminated farm fields and livestock. Ironically, the shelves of the 1960s era bomb shelter were stocked to capacity in the fall of 1986.
WHEN IT BECAME REAL FOR DOC
Radiation became tangible to Doc when his science teacher walked around the campus with a brick-sized Geiger counter that made static-sounding clicks as it detected radioactive particles. It clicked a lot outside.
US MEDIA COVERAGE OF CHERNOBYL
On Sundays, Doc’s household received the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel which was considered the “big city, reliable news source. The story about the Chernobyl explosion described “a deadly could of radiation across large sections of Russia and Europe.” But, the disaster was still portrayed as being remote and not something to worry about in the USA. The local library had an array of newspapers all clamped onto large wooden poles (remember those?). Per the Duluth Minnesota Herald, May 15, 1986: “Airborne radioactivity from the Chernobyl nuclear accident is now so widespread that it is likely to fall to the ground wherever it rains in the United States, the EPA said.” Doc had been to Duluth – it wasn’t that far away!
It was around that time, in mid-May, when local news, teachers and parents began talking more about radiation in America – in Wisconsin. People speculated about the government’s game plan. Would everyone be required to stay indoors? Doc and his peers were aware and invincible.
WHY CORONAVIRUS IS SIMILAR TO CHERNOBYL AND NOT LIKE 9/11
Chernobyl and Coronavirus are rapid onset disasters that remained “in progress” for months. 9/11 – as horrific as it was, concluded on 9/11. Nobody feared another attack on September 13th and two weeks later, the NFL resumed and comedians returned to comedy clubs. Radiation and a virus are invisible. Humans best perceive them through secondary face validity such as watching what authorities are doing and supplies at stores. A flood is tangible. When a flood destroyed homes near Doc’s town in 2008, he went atop the levee and joined a crowd of onlookers watching and snapping photos of decks, shingles and water heaters bobbing down the river. Furthermore, it’s a different psychological construct to battle a fire or flood versus swinging at a ghost. In addition, both events continue to build to a peak – the onset isn’t the peak. And, these events might be corralled, but never eradicated. In fact, present-day wildfires near Chernobyl are releasing large amounts of radiation that was temporarily absorbed by trees.
WHEN THE DISASTER IS PROLONGED – THE BREAKING POINT
In podcast #34 back in 2017, Doc talked about WWII psychiatrist, Dr. Appel, who studied frontline soldiers. He found that infantry soldiers survived a maximum of 238 aggregate combat days (ACD) before a fate of (1) physical casualty, (2) prisoner of war, or (3) psychiatric casualty. For the first time, it was realized that every soldier had a “finite voltage” and sooner or later would break – even if they appeared to have held up magnificently under incredible stress. So we have to ask, what’s the finite voltage for each of us now that we are 30 days into stay-at-home orders and a high velocity of information of changing contexts and situations?

Get them all
Poll executives have been placed under preventive suspension by the Ombudsman, in connection with the canceled awarding of the so-called secrecy folders to OTC Paper supply, originally priced at P350 per folder, which is clearly overpriced.
Preventively suspended for six months without pay are Commission on Elections Executive Director Jose Tolentino Jr.; Bids and Awards Committee Chairman Maria Lea Alarkon; members Allen Francis Abaya, Maria Norina Casingal, Martin B. Niedo, as well as Antonio Santella.
The Ombudsman, in its order said that the facts and circumstances of the case justify a preventive suspension, as the Ombudsman’s investigation team found that Tolentino, head of the specifications committee, “provided unwarranted benefits, advantage or preference to OTC Paper Supply by making prior arrangements and/or divulging valuable and confidential information with them as shown by OTC’S astonishing speed to produce a tailor-fitted, Comelec-approved design in just a matter of days.”....

Still spinning it FRONTLINE Ninez Cacho-Olivares 07/31/2010
It really is amazing how the Aquino officials, the communications group, and their media partners plus yellow supporters spin the reports and portray the big blunders made by Noynoy Aquino in his State of the Nation Address (Sona) as no mistake at all, spinning it all to make it appear that while no irregularities or anomalies in the budget figures were found, it was still “morally” and “fiscally irresponsible” of the previous Arroyo administration to have spent more than it should have.
Neither Gloria nor her officials are my cup of tea. That has been much too evident even at the start of her regime, but hell, since when does a morality issue reign over legal issues? And who is to judge what is moral or immoral? Noynoy? His appointed officials? The yellows? Their protective yellow media? Well, who the hell do they think they are to set themselves up as the nation’s moral teachers, especially when they are not too clean themselves?
As for the charge that the previous administration was “fiscally irresponsible” over expenditures, just why do they insist on judging what is fiscally responsible by way of spending the budget funds, especially if, as admitted by the Noynoy officials, there was nothing irregular or anomalous found in the expenditure of the budget funds and allocations?...

Human traffickers prey on vulnerable in Thailand FEATURE 07/31/2010
KOH KRED — Sixteen-year-old Kaew slumped into unconsciousness in a van somewhere in southern Thailand, believing she was on her way to work in a textile factory near the border.
She woke up in Malaysia to discover that she had been sold into the sex trade.
Hers is just one of a multitude of cases of modern-day slavery in Thailand, most of which involve a mix of poverty, violence and betrayal.
Apparently drugged and later locked in a room in Kuala Lumpur, Kaew met three other Thai women who asked if she had been lured to work like them.
“I had no idea what they were talking about, but then they told me what kind of job they did and what kind of job I had to do. I was very scared,” said Kaew, whose name AFP has changed to protect her identity.
She managed to escape before her first job, using money she had been given to buy food to take a taxi to the Thai embassy.... MORE

Advocates Worry That Aquino’s Mining, Environment Agenda Is Similar to Arroyo’s Published on July 31, 2010
Advocates Worry That Aquino’s Mining, Environment Agenda Is Similar to Arroyo’s
President Aquino’s electoral platform, inaugural speech and State of the Nation Address (SONA) contain no clear environmental agenda and position on major issues such as mining, climate change and the garbage problem, said Clemente Bautista of Kalikasan.
MANILA — Environmental groups noted that the recent pronouncements and actions of President Benigno S. Aquino III lean toward the same anti-environment policies of the previous Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo administration.
“It is still early to say that President Aquino is anti-environment like his predecessor. However, based on what Mr. Aquino is doing and saying so far, prospects are not good for the communities and groups that have long clamored for fundamental change in terms of the national policies and programs that have caused much harm to our environment,” said Clemente Bautista of the Kalikasan People’s Network for the Environment (Kalikasan PNE)....

After Fleeing from Palparan, Peasant Leader Ends Up in Manila Prison
After the attempt on his brother-in-law’s life, peasant leader Dario Tomada fled to Luzon and took on different jobs to support his family back in Leyte. Five years later, he was arrested by soldiers for 15 counts of murder that allegedly took place in 1984 — when he was still peacefully tilling a small piece of land and was not involved in any organization.
MANILA — On Sept. 10, 2006, Dario Tomada, then chairman of the Samahan han Gudti nga Parag-uma ha Sinirangan Bisayas (Sagupa-SB or Organization of Small Farmers of Eastern Visayas), left Kanangga, Leyte, upon the advice of his colleagues. Like many of the leaders of people’s organizations in the region, Tomada’s life had been in danger.

During that period, retired Maj. Gen. Jovito Palparan Jr. was the commanding general of the 8th Infantry (Storm Troopers) Division in Eastern Visayas. Within six months of Palparan’s assignment in the region, human-rights group Karapatan had recorded 570 human-rights violations victimizing 7,561 individuals, 1,773 families and 110 communities. These include 126 cases of extrajudicial killings and 27 cases of enforced disappearances.... MORE

Kin of ‘Morong 43′ File Rights Raps vs Military Before GRP-NDF Body
“Nearly six months since the Morong 43 were arrested and the wheels of justice have been grinding slow on our detained colleagues. For these innocent health workers, being held each day more in detention is a continuing torture and a serious injustice.” – Dr. Eleanor Jara, CHD executive director and convenor of the Free the 43 Health Workers Alliance
MANILA — Relatives and colleagues of the Morong 43 trooped to the office of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) section of the Joint Monitoring Committee (JMC) July 28 to file cases against the military for violations of the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL).
The 43 health workers were arrested February 6 while conducting a health training in Morong, Rizal. Slapped with charges of illegal possession of firearms and explosives, the 43 were held under military captivity at Camp Capinpin, Tanay, Rizal for almost three months. In May, the 38 of them have been transferred to Camp Bagong Diwa in Bicutan, Taguig.... MORE

With More Privatization, Aquino Uses Same Old Policies by Predecessors by Bulatlat
With More Privatization, Aquino Uses Same Old Policies by Predecessors
By ARNOLD PADILLA
MANILA — In his first State of the Nation Address (SONA), President Benigno Aquino III used the various cases of misuse of public funds by the Arroyo administration as a pretext to promote the so-called Public-Private Partnerships or PPPs. According to Aquino, PPPs will address the lack of resources due to a depleted government budget for the country’s many needs.
(Read the full text of Aquino’s SONA here)
Incidentally, PPPs were among the legacies of the first Aquino administration. It was during the term of Noynoy’s mother, the late President Cory Aquino, that the first PPPs in the power generation sector were implemented. In 1987, she issued Executive Order (EO) No. 215 that allowed private corporations to construct and operate electric generating plants. (Read here) Cory’s privatization formed part of a wide-ranging package of structural reforms pushed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank to supposedly address the country’s fiscal crisis in the late 1980s....

Wide scope bared for truth body in EO
By Aytch S. de la Cruz
While focused on the nine-year Arroyo administration, the so-called Truth Commission created yesterday through Executive Order No. 1 will include in its broad scope public officials of at least third-level, such as department heads of government agencies and even private individuals suspected of being involved in graft and corruption cases.
President Aquino signed EO 1 yesterday creating the commission vested with investigative powers on all the reported cases of graft and corruption involving third-level public officials and higher, their co-principals, accomplices and accessories from the private sector during the previous administration, based on the order.
Officials who are implicated in the allegations of large-scale graft and corruption cases during the previous administration will be compelled to cooperate with the recently created body to be called the Philippine Truth Commission of 2010, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said..... MORE

The House committee on justice expects to start hearing the impeachment complaint against Ombudsman Ma. Merceditas Gutierrez in September, committee chairman Iloilo Rep. Niel Tupaz Jr. said.
Gutierrez is assured of an impartial trial of the impeachment case filed against her, Tupas added.
Tupas said Gutierrez would be given her day in the hearings that would be conducted by his panel which could begin as soon as it is referred to him by the House committee on rules.
“The sense of fairness will always be there, I can guarantee that,” said Tupas who lamented that the hearings conducted by the previous Congress on the previous impeachment case against Gutierrez were lopsided.
“There were lapses in terms of following the Constitution and the rules of the House, that’s why I voted against the report in plenary. Some jurisprudence were not properly appreciated at that time,” he said..... MORE

Folder scam freezes all Comelec payments By Marie Surbano 07/31/2010
By Marie Surbano
Poll equipment suppliers of the May 10 elections are lining up with the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to collect their bills but the Comelec said all the contracts related to the recent automated polls have yet to be signed as a result of the controversy generated by the P700-million ballot secrecy folder scandal.
Ferdinand Rafanan, director of Comelec Law Department, said the contractors are now asking for payment for various services rendered or equipment sold but the poll body is not ready to pay since there was no contract signed yet.
Rafanan said Comelec Chairman Jose Melo has ordered Comelec officials not to sign any contract until it has been reviewed by the law department.
“All these contracts are under review as a consequence of the ballot secrecy folder scandal. Melo opted to be cautious so no contracts were signed and all were sent to the law department for review,” Rafanan told reporters.
Asked what these unsigned contracts were, Rafanan said these include contracts with forwarding companies which provided delivery services on what he called as “non-accountable forms.”
“They were not paid since the contracts were unsigned,” Rafanan said adding that once the contract were reviewed and signed the commission will promptly release payments.
He admitted that the overpricing of the ballot secrecy folder that supposedly cost P380 a piece has taught the chairman a great deal on contracts being entered by the government.... MORE
Gov’t sends envoy to Iraq to check OFWs’ situation By Michaela P. del Callar and Marie Surbano 07/31/2010
By Michaela P. del Callar and Marie Surbano
The Philippine government has sent an assessment mission to Iraq to oversee and examine the security situation and security measures for the thousands of overseas Filipino workers who were ordered to be expelled by the United States due to an existing labor deployment ban by Manila.
Presidential special envoy to the Middle East Roy Cimatu, who left for Iraq Thursday, will return to Manila next week to submit his report and recommendations to an inter-agency committee that closely monitors the work condition of Filipino workers and studying options to address their situation and concerns in Iraq.
“The inter-agency committee, composed of the Office of the Executive Secretary, Department of Foreign Affairs, Department of Labor and Employment, the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, among other agencies, is expected to issue policy guidelines shortly after Ambassador Cimatu’s return,” a DFA statement said.
According to the DFA, there are around 6,000 Filipinos working in Iraq despite the Philippine government’s travel and labor deployment ban to Iraq. But the Embassy of Iraq in Manila said the figure has swelled to 15,000, most of them working for foreign companies in Iraq’s northern region.... MORE
CAT: SC ruling a labor, not agrarian, issue 07/31/2010
The top management of the Central Azucarera de Tarlac (CAT) yesterday clarified that the Supreme Court (SC) decision on the 13th month differential pay of its workers is purely a labor issue that involved the CAT which is an entirely different company from that of Hacienda Luisita Inc. (HLI).
Joey Romasanta, CAT vice president for Corporate Affairs, in a statement, stressed the high court ruling involves the Central Azucarera de Tarlac, a publicly listed company which operates a sugar mill located in Tarlac City, is separate and distinct from HLI.
He said the SC decision could be regarded as “moot and academic” since CAT had already satisfied the 13th month differential pay being claimed by the workers through the union by paying the amount of P6 million, more or less, as early as Jan. 26, 2010..... MORE
Pacquiao sister wanted for illegal gambling racket 07/31/2010
Authorities yesterday said a sister of boxing champion and Sarangani Rep. Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao was involved in running an illegal gambling racket after detaining 25 persons in a raid on her home in General Santos City.
A police vice squad detained the suspects and seized evidence, including gambling materials and cash, in Thursday’s raid on the home of Pacquiao’s elder sister, Isidra Paglinawan, Chief Insp. Leo Sua said.
Pacquiao, the seven-time world champion who was elected to a seat in the House of Representatives this year, personally watched as police searched the house, but vowed not to interfere.
A lower court in the southern port of General Santos ordered the raid as part of a police crackdown against an illegal numbers game, locally called “masiao,” but the 34-year-old sister was not at home, Sua told reporters.

The Liberal Party (LP) is trying to throw its weight around in the ongoing tussle at the Senate for prime committee posts with its members seeking to corner the most sought-after chairmanships, drawing the comment from Sen. Joker Arroyo that it was a case of the smaller guys wanting to get the bigger pie.
Sen. Francis Pangilinan’s withdrawal from the Senate presidency was hailed by his partymates as an act of statesmanship, but now the LP is into arm-twisting in the Senate to lay its members’ hands on the juicy posts.
Despite the fact that the current president is a party member, the LP, it seems, is finding it difficult to haul in recruits from both the Senate and the House of Representatives, thus weakening President Aquino’s legislative leverage on the many bills that he claims he plans to pursue in his reform agenda.
Speaker Sonny Belmonte, a Lakas-Kampi turncoat and now an LP member, won the top House post, but only as a result of a tactical alliance, mainly with members of Gloria Arroyo’s Lakas-Kampi-CMD party. Of the 90 or so House members who voted Belmonte into the speakership, not even 30 are card-bearing LP members. The case in the Senate is the same, with only four party members out of the 23 senators..... MORE
Homework time FRONTLINE Ninez Cacho-Olivares 07/30/2010
Good grief! Do these new secretaries in the communications group know just what they are doing and saying?
From the way they sound, everything but everything can be made legal and binding through an executive order (EO) signed by their president, Noynoy Aquino.
Thus, even when there is no law backing up their dual and co-equal status as full Cabinet secretary, Sonny Coloma and Ricky Carandang will both be communications group secretary, and not a press secretary, even when there can be no communications group as a frontline department in replacement of the Office of the Press Secretary, as this department can only be abolished, and replaced by Congress, not by a mere EO.
But apparently, they believe that this can be done without the participation of Congress. Well, good luck to them.
Stated differently, the Aquino administration and its officials, especially Noynoy, believe that they can do anything they want, through an EO, which, it should be stressed, does not have the same effect and force of a law, unless of course, the EO is buttressed by an existing law, or a constitutional proviso, both of which are absent.....

Mexican capital aims to be oasis for gays FEATURE 07/30/2010
MEXICO CITY — Mexico City’s gay community has in recent decades turned the capital into a relative oasis in a strongly Catholic country reknowned for its conservatism and machismo.
The authorities in the Mexican capital are now seeking to attract gay tourism, even though there is still widespread discrimination against them.
The city is well placed “to become the first gay friendly destination in Latin America,” said Tourism Secretary Alejandro Rojas.
In March, the urban sprawl of some 20 million people celebrated the first legal gay and lesbian weddings in Latin America. And this week, authorities said they had opened the first tourism office for homosexuals in the region.
Gay tourists are discerning, respectful and spend 47 percent more than heterosexual tourists, Rojas said.
His leftist city government last week offered a free honeymoon here to the first gay couple to wed in Argentina after that country legalized same-sex marriages in the whole country.
In Mexico City’s Zona Rosa district, a hub for the homosexual community, gay actor Tito Vasconcelos applauded the advances but underlined that “there’s a lack of consistency between statements and reality,” for Mexico’s gay community.... MORE
A scandal in the making MR. EXPOSE Amb. Ernesto Maceda 07/30/2010
Amb. Ernesto Maceda
President Aquino announced in his State of the Nation Address (Sona) that he has received an offer of $100 million from a business group/developer for the lease of the two Philippine Navy bases, the Headquarters at Roxas Boulevard adjacent to the PICC and the Bonifacio Naval station which is also the Headquarters of the Philippine Marines, adjacent to Global City and Forbes Park. Both properties have a total area of about 30 hectares. He confirmed the advanced negotiations at the Philippine Star anniversary.
It’s a creative solution to the Philippine Navy’s shortage of ships. But it should go through a transparent process. Considering its location, it appears that the $100 million or P4.5 billion offer is low for 300,000 square meters adjacent to Forbes Park. Forbes Park lots sell at P85,000/sq.m.
It should, therefore, be open to public bidding with a minimum bid set at $300 million at least. To begin with, an objective appraisal of the value of the two properties must be made before the bid is set.
And if the sale of Fort McKinley and the proposed sale of government properties in Japan are recalled, there should be congressional authority secured to allow the sale or long term lease of these valuable properties. And the Historical Commission must be consulted. The policy of selling prime government land must be fully debated. Are we going to lease Malacañang Park or part of Rizal Park?... MORE
Row over Cyprus air control poses growing safety risk FEATURE 07/30/2010
NICOSIA — A decades-old dispute over the control of Cyprus airspace has sparked accusations of a growing safety risk as the volume of air traffic over the divided resort island expands.
The Greek Cypriot head of Nicosia Air Traffic Control, which under international law is responsible for supervising the airspace over the island as well as a large slab of the adjacent eastern Mediterranean, says there have been near misses and that the number of incidents is growing.
The rival Turkish Cypriot aviation authorities, who oversee flights between Turkey and the breakaway north of the island and claim jurisdiction over the surrounding airspace, acknowledge there is a problem but say the cause is the Nicosia controllers’ refusal to talk to them.
“We’ve had a couple of very bad incidents,” said Nicosia air traffic chief Haris Antoniades.
“We had a very, very serious case about 18 months ago,” Antoniades told AFP.
“There was a Russian flight coming from the Egyptian airspace, flying through Nicosia to Turkey, to go to Russia, and then we had another flight coming south.... MORE
Dutch troops to leave Afghanistan after ‘proud’ four years focus 07/30/2010
THE HAGUE — The Dutch troop deployment in Afghanistan, often held up as a model for other peace missions, ends after four years on Sunday amid concerns about the void it will leave.
“We offer the majority of the population relatively safe living conditions and advancements in health care, education and trade,” chief of defense, General Peter van Uhm, said of his troops’ legacy in the southern Uruzgan province.
“We have achieved tangible results that the Netherlands can be proud of,” he told a news conference on Wednesday.
Around 1,950 Dutch troops are deployed in Afghanistan, mainly in Uruzgan where opium production is high and the Taliban very active, under the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).
Nato had asked the Netherlands to extend the mission, which started in 2006 and has cost the lives of 24 soldiers, by a year to August 2011.
This sparked a political row that led to government collapsing in February and the end of the Dutch deployment.
The mission is known for its “3 D” approach of defence, development and diplomacy.... MORE

object:4.01 - The Principle of the Integral Yoga
The principle of Yoga is the turning of one or of all powers of our human existence into a means of reaching the divine Being. In an ordinary Yoga one main power of being or one group of its powers is made the means, vehicle, path. In a synthetic Yoga all powers will be combined and included in the transmuting instrumentation.
In Hathayoga the instrument is the body and life. All the power of the body is stilled, collected, purified, heightened, concentrated to its utmost limits or beyond any limits by Asana and other physical processes; the power of the life too is similarly purified, heightened, concentrated by Asana and Pranayama. This concentration of powers is then directed towards that physical centre in which the divine consciousness sits concealed in the human body. The power of Life, Nature-power, coiled up with all its secret forces asleep in the lowest nervous plexus of the earth-being, -- for only so much escapes into waking action in our normal operations as is sufficient for the limited uses of human life, -- rises awakened through centre after centre and awakens, too, in its ascent and passage the forces of each successive nodus of our being, the nervous life, the heart of emotion and ordinary mentality, the speech, sight, will, the higher knowledge, till through and above the brain it meets with and it becomes one with the divine consciousness.
In Rajayoga the chosen instrument is the mind. Our ordinary mentality is first disciplined, purified and directed towards the divine Being, then by a summary process of Asana and Pranayama the physical force of our being is stilled and concentrated, the life-force released into a rhythmic movement capable of cessation and concentrated into a higher power of its upward action, the mind, supported and strengthened by this greater action and concentration of the body and life upon which it rests, is itself purified of all its unrest and emotion and its habitual thought-waves, liberated from distraction and dispersion, given its highest force of concentration, gathered up into a trance of absorption. Two objects, the one temporal, the other eternal, are gained by this discipline. Mind-power develops in another concentrated action abnormal capacities of knowledge, effective will, deep light of reception, powerful light of though-tradiation which are altogether beyond the narrow range of our normal mentality; it arrives at the Yogic or occult powers around which there has been woven so much quite dispensable and yet perhaps salutary mystery. But the one final end and the one all-important gain is that the mind, stilled and cast into a concentrated trance, can lose itself in the divine consciousness and the soul be made free to unite with the divine Being.
The triple way takes for its chosen instruments the three main powers of the mental soul-life of the human being. Knowledge selects the reason and the mental vision and it makes them by purification, concentration and a certain discipline of a God-directed seeking its means for the greatest knowledge and the greatest vision of all. God-knowledge and God-vision. Its aim is to see, know and be the Divine. Works, action selects for its instrument the will of the doer of works; it makes life an offering of sacrifice to the Godhead and by purification, concentration and a certain discipline of subjection to the divine Will a means for contact and increasing unity of the soul of man with the divine Master of the universe. Devotion selects the emotional and aesthetic powers of the soul and by turning them all Godward in a perfect purity, intensity, infinite passion of seeking makes them a means of God-possession in one or many relations of unity with the Divine Being. All aim in their own way at a union or unity of the human soul with the supreme Spirit.
Each Yoga in its process has the character of the instrument it uses; thus the Hathayogic process is psycho-physical, the Rajayogic mental and psychic, the way of knowledge is spiritual and cognitive, the way of devotion spiritual, emotional and aesthetic, the way of works spiritual and dynamic by action. Each is guided in the ways of its own characteristic power. But all power is in the end one, all power is really soul-power. In the ordinary process of life, body and mind this truth is quite obscured by the dispersed, dividing and distributive action of Nature which is the normal condition of all our functionings, although even there it is in the end evident; for all material energy contains hidden the vital, mental, psychic, spiritual energy and in the end it must release these forms of the one shakti, the vital energy conceals and liberates into action all the other forms, the mental supporting itself on the life and body and their powers and functionings contains undeveloped or only partially developed the psychic and the spiritual power of the being. But when by Yoga any of these powers is taken up from the dispersed and distributive action, raised to its highest degree, concentrated, it becomes manifest soul-power and reveals the essential unity. Therefore the Hathayogic process has too its pure psychic and spiritual result, the Rajayogic arrives by psychic means at a spiritual consummation. The triple way may appear to be altogether mental and spiritual in its way of seeking and its objectives, but it can be attended by results more characteristic of the other paths, which offer themselves in a spontaneous and involuntary flowering, and for the same reason, because soul-power is all-power and where it reaches its height in one direction its other possibilities also begin to show themselves in fact or in incipient potentiality. This unity at once suggests the possibility of a synthetic Yoga.
Tantric discipline is in its nature a synthesis. It has seized on the large universal truth that there are two poles of being whose essential unity is the secret of existence, Brahman and shakti, Spirit and Nature, and that Nature is power of the spirit or rather is spirit as power. To raise nature in man into manifest power of spirit is its method and it is the whole nature that it gathers up for the spiritual conversion. It includes in its system of instrumentation the forceful Hathayogic process and especially the opening up of the nervous centres and the passage through them of the awakened shakti on her way to her union with the Brahman, the subtler stress of the Rajayogic purification, meditation and concentration, the leverage of will-force, the motive power of devotion, the key of knowledge. But it does not stop short with an effective assembling of the different powers of these specific Yogas. In two directions it enlarges by its synthetic turn the province of the Yogic method. First, it lays its hand firmly on many of the main springs of human quality, desire, action and it subjects them to an intensive discipline with the soul's mastery of its motives as a first aim and their elevation to a diviner spiritual level as its final utility. Again, it includes in its objects of Yoga not only liberation,586a which is the one all-mastering preoccupation of the specific systems, but a cosmic enjoyments586b of the power of the Spirit, which the others may take incidentally on the way, in part, casually, but avoid making a motive or object. It is a bolder and larger system.
In the method of synthesis which we have been following, another clue of principle has been pursued which is derived from another view of the possibilities of Yoga. This starts from the method of Vedanta to arrive at the aim of the Tantra. In the tantric method shakti is all-important, becomes the key to the finding of spirit; in this synthesis spirit, soul is all-important, becomes the secret of the taking up of shakti. The tantric method starts from the bottom and grades the ladder of ascent upwards to the summit; therefore its initial stress is upon the action of the awakened shakti in the nervous system of the body and its centres; the opening of the six lotuses is the opening up of the ranges of the power of Spirit. Our synthesis takes man as a spirit in mind much more than a spirit in body and assumes in him the capacity to begin on that level, to spiritualise his being by the power of the soul in mind opening itself directly to a higher spiritual force and being and to perfect by that higher force so possessed and brought into action the whole of his nature. For that reason our initial stress has fallen upon the utilisation of the powers of soul in mind and the turning of the triple key of knowledge, works and love in the locks of the spirit; the Hathayogic methods can be dispensed with, -- though there is no objection to their partial use, -- the Rajayogic will only enter in as an informal element. To arrive by the shortest way at the largest development of spiritual power and being and divinise by it a liberated nature in the whole range of human living is our inspiring motive.
The principle in view is a self-surrender, a giving up of the human being into the being, consciousness, power, delight of the Divine, a union or communion at all the points of meeting in the soul of man, the mental being, by which the Divine himself, directly and without veil master and possessor of the instrument, shall by the light of his presence and guidance perfect the human being in all the forces of the Nature for a divine living. Here we arrive at a farther enlargement of the objects of the Yoga. The common initial purpose of all Yoga is the liberation of the soul of man from its present natural ignorance and limitation, its release into spiritual being, its union with the highest self and Divinity. But ordinarily this is made not only the initial but the whole and final object: enjoyment of spiritual being there is, but either in a dissolution of the human and individual into the silence of self-being or on a higher plane in another existence. The Tantric system makes liberation the final, but not the only aim; it takes on its way a full perfection and enjoyment of the spiritual power, light and joy in the human existence, and even it has a glimpse of a supreme experience in which liberation and cosmic action and enjoyment are unified in a final overcoming of all oppositions and dissonances. It is this wider view of our spiritual potentialities from which we begin, but we add another stress which brings in a completer significance. We regard the spirit in man not as solely an individual being travelling to a transcendent unity with the Divine, but as a universal being capable of oneness with the Divine in all souls and all Nature and we give this extended view its entire practical consequence. The human soul's individual liberation and enjoyment of union with the Divine in spiritual being, consciousness and delight must always be the first object of the Yoga; its free enjoyment of the cosmic unity of the Divine becomes a second object; but out of that a third appears, the effectuation of the meaning of the divine unity with all beings by a sympathy and participation in the spiritual purpose of the Divine in humanity. The individual Yoga then turns from its separateness and becomes apart of the collective Yoga of the divine Nature in the human race. The liberated individual being, united with the Divine in self and spirit, becomes in his natural being a self-perfecting instrument for the perfect outflowering of the Divine in humanity.
This outflowering has its two terms; first, comes the growth out of the separative human ego into the unity of the spirit, then the possession of the divine nature in its proper and its higher forms and no longer in the inferior forms of the mental being which are a mutilated translation and not the authentic text of the original script of divine Nature in the cosmic individual. In other words, a perfection has to be aimed at which amounts to the elevation of the mental into the full spiritual and supramental nature. Therefore this integral Yoga of knowledge, love and works has to be extended into a Yoga of spiritual and gnostic self-perfection. As gnostic knowledge, will and Ananda are a direct instrumentation of spirit and can only be won by growing into the spirit, into divine being, this growth has to be the first aim of our Yoga. The mental being has to enlarge itself into the oneness of the Divine before the Divine will perfect in the soul of the individual its gnostic outflowering. That is the reason why the triple way of knowledge, works and love becomes the keynote of the whole Yoga, for that is the direct means for the soul in mind to rise to its highest intensities where it passes upward into the divine oneness. That too is the reason why the Yoga must be integral. For if immergence in the Infinite or some close union with the Divine were all our aim, an integral Yoga would be superfluous, except for such greater satisfaction of the being of man as we may get by a self-lifting of the whole of it towards its Source. But it would not be needed for the essential aim, since by any single power of the soul-nature we can meet with the Divine; each at its height rises up into the infinite and absolute, each therefore offers a sufficient way of arrival, for all the hundred separate paths meet in the Eternal. But the gnostic being is a complete enjoyment and possession of the whole divine and spiritual nature; and it is a complete lifting of the whole nature of man into its power of a divine and spiritual existence. Integrality becomes then an essential condition of this Yoga.
At the same time we have seen that each of the three ways at its height, if it is pursued with a certain largeness, can take into itself the powers of the others and lead to their fulfilment. It is therefore sufficient to start by one of them and find the point at which it meets the other at first parallel lines of advance and melts into them by its own widenings. At the same time a more difficult, complex, wholly powerful process would be to start, as it were, on three lines together, on a triple wheel of soul-power. But the consideration of this possibility must be postponed till we have seen what are the conditions and means of the Yoga of self-perfection. For we shall see that this also need not be postponed entirely, but a certain preparation of it is part of and a certain initiation into it proceeds by the growth of the divine works, love and knowledge. This outflowering has its two terms; first, comes the growth out of the separative human ego into the unity of the spirit, then the possession of the divine nature in its proper and its higher forms and no longer in the inferior forms of the mental being which are a mutilated translation and not the authentic text of the original script of divine Nature in the cosmic individual. In other words, a perfection has to be aimed at which amounts to the elevation of the mental into the full spiritual and supramental nature. Therefore this integral Yoga of knowledge, love and works has to be extended into a Yoga of spiritual and gnostic self-perfection. As gnostic knowledge, will and Ananda are a direct instrumentation of spirit and can only be won by growing into the spirit, into divine being, this growth has to be the first aim of our Yoga.

But the gnostic being is a complete enjoyment and possession of the whole divine and spiritual nature; and it is a complete lifting of the whole nature of man into its power of a divine and spiritual existence. Integrality becomes then an essential condition of this Yoga.
At the same time we have seen that each of the three ways at its height, if it is pursued with a certain largeness, can take into itself the powers of the others and lead to their fulfilment. It is therefore sufficient to start by one of them and find the point at which it meets the other at first parallel lines of advance and melts into them by its own widenings. At the same time a more difficult, complex, wholly powerful process would be to start, as it were, on three lines together, on a triple wheel of soul-power. But the consideration of this possibility must be postponed till we have seen what are the conditions and means of the Yoga of self-perfection. For we shall see that this also need not be postponed entirely, but a certain preparation of it is part of and a certain initiation into it proceeds by the growth of the divine works, love and knowledge.

1:All the hundred separate paths meet in the Eternal. ~ Sri Aurobindo, The Synthesis Of Yoga 4.01 - The Principle of the Integral Yoga,
#KEYS
2:The principle of Yoga is the turning of one or of all powers of our human existence into a means of reaching divine Being. ~ Sri Aurobindo, The Synthesis Of Yoga 4.01 - The Principle of the Integral Yoga,
3:The principle of Yoga is the turning of one or of all powers of our human existence into a means of reaching the divine Being. In an ordinary Yoga one main power of being or one group of its powers is made the means, vehicle, path. In a synthetic Yoga all powers will be combined and included in the transmuting instrumentation. ~ Sri Aurobindo, The Synthesis Of Yoga 4.01 - The Principle of the Integral Yoga,
4:The triple way takes for its chosen instruments the three main powers of the mental soul-life of the human being. Knowledge selects the reason and the mental vision and it makes them by purification, concentration and a certain discipline of a Goddirected seeking its means for the greatest knowledge and the greatest vision of all, God-knowledge and God-vision. Its aim is to see, know and be the Divine. Works, action selects for its instrument the will of the doer of works; it makes life an offering of sacrifice to the Godhead and by purification, concentration and a certain discipline of subjection to the divine Will a means for contact and increasing unity of the soul of man with the divine Master of the universe. Devotion selects the emotional and aesthetic powers of the soul and by turning them all Godward in a perfect purity, intensity, infinite passion of seeking makes them a means of God-possession in one or many relations of unity with the Divine Being. All aim in their own way at a union or unity of the human soul with the supreme Spirit. ~ Sri Aurobindo, The Synthesis Of Yoga 4.01 - The Principle of the Integral Yoga,

Our Story › Our Team › The Homes › FAQs › Partners
Ben Allston, Jeremy Buckley, and Jordan Craft serve as the 58ten Leadership Team. They founded 58ten with the help of friends, mentors, a whole lot of guidance, and wide open doors that God provided. They all lived together, worked together, and started 58ten together in 2011.
Ben now resides in Greenille, SC with is wife Lora and 3 kids. He is a Clemson Tigers fan getting used to be around a bunch of Clemson Tiger fans.
Jeremy Buckley lives in Morgantown, Pennsylvania with his wife, Brooke. He continues to love the Michigan Wolverines and Manchester United, although his passion may have toned down since finding his bride.
Jordan continues to live in Pennsylvania and is a great email conversationalist and loves all things Philly. However, most importantly he met the woman of his dreams, Meredith, and married her in March of 2020.
Dani O’Shaughnessey
Dani has an Irish heritage and has served on the board since the inception of 58ten in 2011. He has been one of 58ten’s biggest fans while keeping us accountable to our values. Dani is a husband to Cara, a father to Finn, Sola, and Shauna. If you ever want a random statistic, a tennis match, or a plain hamburger, then Dani is your guy.
Julie Blackstone
Julie and her family have been part of the 58en community for several years. In 2018 Julie, her husband Michael and two of their children were able to visit the homes in Kenya. The immediately fell in love with the children. Julie, a mother of 3, brings a mother’s insight that is needed as well as years of experience in youth ministry. We are thankful for her passion for the kids. Julie, Michael, and their daughter McCalla live in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. Their daughter Alyssa and their son Justin have both started their own families and are also part of the 58ten community.
Clarke Spain
We are excited to have had Clarke join the 58ten board in 2014. He brings years of business knowledge to the table as well as a lot of practical wisdom. Clarke was Ben and Jeremy’s Sunday School teacher for years at High Point Baptist Chapel and has been a positive influence on each of the founding members. Clarke and his wife Renee have sponsored children through 58ten since it was founded and have played key roles in several 58ten events. Clarke has 2 daughters, 5 grandkids, and is very good at golf.
John Mark Kehlenbeck
John Mark serves at 58ten’s Kitui Baby Home Coordinator. He focuses specifically on Kutui Baby Home donor relations and communications while also keeping a road map of projects to be done at the Kitui Baby Home. John Mark and his wife Holly have been involved with 58ten since the very beginning and hold a special place in their heart for Jeremy Buckley who is their two daughter’s uncle. John Mark flies for American Airlines and is based out of Frisco, TX.
Jon Pope
Jon is the “Creative Director” of 58ten and has played an essential role in 58ten since it was first founded. Jon heard about 58ten through his brother Ben and was hired to design the 58ten logo. A donation was given to cover Jon’s expenses for the logo that he created, but he’s been volunteering ever since then. He has literally been a Godsend to 58ten and the organization couldn’t have a better brand manager. Jon and his wife Colleen went to Kenya in 2013 to visit the child they sponsor. Jon is also a dad to two beautiful young girls.
Cynthia Gomez
Cynthia has been serving with 58ten since the very beginning. Her key role in the organization now is bookkeeping and collecting pledged donations. She has been a valuable asset to the organization both through small tasks and creating efficiency in internal processes. We first met Cynthia at High Point Camp where she served in most ever role at one point or another. Cynthia currently lives in her hometown of Denver, Colorado.

The connection between SeaWorld and the brutal drive hunts at Taiji, Japan, has been known for decades. SeaWorld's former Vice-President & head veterinarian, Dr Lanny Cornell, famously told PBS Frontline that, "The drive fishery process is not necessarily an inhumane process."
Two Pseudorca (false killer whales) Teri (L) & Hana (R). It it now known Teri was captured in Taiji, Japan, on 21 Feb 1983
Cornell worked for SeaWorld from 1973 to 1987 and was later hired to be Keiko's veterinarian, an apparently opportunistic move considering his former employer, SeaWorld, continues to smear the Keiko reintroduction; an effort which transported an orca from Mexico to Oregon and finally to the sea, where he lived from 1998 until his death in 2003.
Keiko gained thousands of pounds after moving to the ocean from Mexico
After Keiko swam to Norway, Dr. Cornell reported, "His physical condition was robust & showed no sign of weight loss."
In a new twist involving Cornell, a paper trail from Kamogawa Sea World to Dr. Cornell at SeaWorld, demonstrates the process of how small cetaceans are moved through Kamogawa to other facilities like SeaWorld:
No. 1 male is Teri, and No. 2 female is Suki who were moved from Taiji ultimately to San Diego
This letter reinforces that the animals were for SeaWorld, with "Yours Faithfully" as the closing
This diagram was included by SeaWorld in the agreement paperwork
It also shows, surprisingly, that ex-SeaWorld trainers, including four who appeared in the movie Blackfish, worked directly with drive-hunt-captured whales from Taiji, unknowingly.
This diagram was also shared with Kamogawa Sea World to show how the false killers would be moved to USA
Like many secrets at the company, the trainers were kept in the dark regarding the brutal collections. Some were told the whales they worked alongside were "rescued." Just today, former trainer Samantha Berg commented:
"Makes me even sicker that I didn't know anything about Taiji or the drive fishery back then... "
As it turns out, Carol Ray, Samantha Berg, Dean Gomersall, and Jeffrey Ventre all worked directly with drive-hunt-whales at the Whale & Dolphin stadium in Orlando in the 1990's. These whales were Teri, Suki, Hana, Yaki & Zori, and all died young. Like belugas & killer whales, pseudorca do poorly in captivity at places like SeaWorld and the Georgia Aquarium.
Ex trainer Jeffrey Ventre performs with Yaki, a whale captured in a drive hunt
While the paper trail is new, we can only confirm that Teri & Suki were taken directly by the infamous killer-fishermen at Taiji's cove. We do know that Yaki, Hana & Zori were also drive-fishery-captured, but don't know precisely where they were corralled up & out of the ocean, in Japan. The odds are that it was Taiji, but we don't possess the documentation.
Samantha Berg with Suki, a whale captured at Taiji, Japan in 1983
We wonder how these revelations will effect the dozen or more current trainers at SeaWorld in Orlando that worked with these drive-hunt-whales. This will be disturbing news to them, too.

Week 52: 'I think of love as something strong that organises itself in politics'
Wonder spawned in: 1968
Wondered into being by: Martin Luther King Jr.
Wonderspan: 5 minutes
To experience this wonder at its best: Make sure you can hear the sound and click 'full screen' icon.
So your brother is a garbage collector in Memphis, Tennessee, on 99 cents an hour. He says it’s not right that when it rains, he’s sent home with no work, while his white workmates who drive the trucks are paid for doing nothing. So today he’s on the picket line.
This is just the latest. Your people have endured every privation you can think of. You’ve been kept out of shops by signs on the door comparing you with apes, refused work because of the colour of your skin, told you haven’t the right to vote or go to university, and kept from eating at the same café counter as the white folks. And when your people resisted, you were beaten by mobs, people disappeared, the law stood idly by or worse – they turned water hoses against you and your children, or set the dogs on you.
Your brother was on strike yesterday, too, and in the afternoon the police taunted him and hit him in the head. He didn’t retaliate, though, and he’s gone back to the picket line today.
You and your brother heard Dr. King talk about his dream: ‘with this faith… we will be free one day’. You have read Dr. King’s open letter, written on scraps of newspaper from a cell in Birmingham jail: ‘We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, … I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth.’ You have seen your people rise up in Atlanta, Georgia, to put this into practice, claiming back their dignity and not letting the brutality of the state bow their heads.
Times sure are changing. It’s 1968. The segregated schools are gone or going. Those ‘No Negroes’ signs are now illegal. More black people are voting now, some are going to university. Black and white can all eat at the lunch counters. You can now wait with the white folks in the station waiting room and when the bus comes, take whichever seat you like, although you still get the abuse whatever you do. Times are changing, not because your people waited for those in power to hand you freedom, but because your movement arranged boycotts, sit-ins, public education campaigns, rallies, radio and TV interviews and legal action. You made it happen.
Dr. King has a dream, you do and your brother does too. He’s proud to be a part of it by being on strike today and you are proud of your brother, especially today, for Martin Luther King himself is coming to town to speak.
The Mason Temple is packed, you've never seen it so full. Your whole family is here and you have to stand at the back. You can’t see from where you are that Dr. King is physically and mentally exhausted. You don’t know that he’s supposed to be in Washington but insisted on supporting the Memphis garbage collectors, though his aides told him it wasn’t important enough. You don’t realise, either, that yesterday there was a credible threat against Dr. King’s life – a bomb scare. And no-one knows yet that tomorrow they will finally get to him, though Dr. King knows the time is coming. You know he knows. ‘We got to see it through,’ he says, 'I may not get there with you':
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oehry1JC9Rk
The next day Martin Luther King was assassinated by gunshot while he stood on the balcony of his motel, the Lorraine. The killer was apparently James Earl Ray, a life-long petty criminal and escaped convict. The FBI was accused of a conspiracy. The evidence for this is patchy but they had a motive; when King won the Nobel Prize for Peace (at the age of just 35), the FBI called him a ‘vicious’ fraud and ‘an evil, abnormal beast’.
(There was a slightly longer clip on YouTube but the multinational corporation EMI had it taken down saying it was their own intellectual property: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL4FOvIf7G8
But a grainy version of the whole speech with a brief introduction is here: http://vimeo.com/3816635 )
Dr. King’s letter from Birmingham jail was an open reply to a criticism from six white clergy denouncing the movement’s acts of civil disobedience in the city. It was written on scraps of newspaper and smuggled out because he was denied anything to write with. He was but one of 3,000 or so protesters jailed for nonviolence resistance in Birmingham. ‘We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people,’ he wrote, and:
‘Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say, "Wait." But when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim; when you have seen hate filled policemen curse, kick and even kill your black brothers and sisters; when you see the vast majority of your twenty million Negro brothers smothering in an airtight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society; when you suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six year old daughter why she can't go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children, and see ominous clouds of inferiority beginning to form in her little mental sky, and see her beginning to distort her personality by developing an unconscious bitterness toward white people; when you have to concoct an answer for a five year old son who is asking: "Daddy, why do white people treat colored people so mean?"; when you take a cross county drive and find it necessary to sleep night after night in the uncomfortable corners of your automobile because no motel will accept you; when you are humiliated day in and day out by nagging signs reading "white" and "colored"; when your first name becomes "nigger," your middle name becomes "boy" (however old you are) and your last name becomes "John," and your wife and mother are never given the respected title "Mrs."; when you are harried by day and haunted by night by the fact that you are a Negro, living constantly at tiptoe stance, never quite knowing what to expect next, and are plagued with inner fears and outer resentments; when you are forever fighting a degenerating sense of "nobodiness"--then you will understand why we find it difficult to wait.’
The whole thing is well worth a read: http://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.html
‘Nonviolence’ – what is it?
I don’t know anyone who actually thinks ‘nonviolence’ is a suitable word for what it is supposed to mean. It looks like it means ‘not violent’ but that is only part of it and not the main part at that. 'Nonviolence' is an attempt to translate a Hindu word coined by Gandhi, satyagraha, meaning something like the power (agraha) of truthfulness (satya). One way of interpreting satyagraha is as the power of holding faith with the dignity of life – your own and others’ – when it is threatened. For the truthfulness which makes a claim on the nonviolence activist is not just any old truth, but to the dignity of being. Satyagrahis are people who try to do this. While satyagraha implies a commitment not to be violent, in the first place it suggests a certain kind of commitment to social change and, most importantly, to the means of change through a kind of faithfulness to one’s self and to others. Gandhi turned this insight into a movement based on nonviolent civil disobedience to British rule and oppression of India.
So nonviolence doesn’t mean just ‘not violent’, which lets your oppressor walk all over you. Rather, it’s a form of active resistance. It’s neither politics without love, which is violence, nor love without politics, which is sentimentality – it is a loving kind of politics, a political kind of loving. In the terms of the Civil Rights movement, nonviolence meant being willing to ‘put your body on the line’. Martin Luther King expressed it like this: ‘I think of love as something strong that organises itself in politics and direct action.’ It put him and thousands of others in jail and it got him and Gandhi assassinated – it’s hardly a soft option.
As a method of social change, nonviolence lays bare a conflict that is already present and then, often, escalates it to create a crisis point at which change becomes possible. The authorities of Birmingham, Alabama, unjustly banned the Civil Rights marchers, who decided to march anyway. This raised the temperature of the conflict because it put the ball back in the authorities’ court. They reacted with attack dogs, water cannon, and by putting over 3,000 people in jail. Still the marchers kept marching and did not retaliate with violence. The result was TV coverage showing state power used in violence against innocent people. This shocked the nation and the world. The outrage put pressure on the intransigence of reactionary politicians and gave progressive ones the support they needed to introduce Civil Rights legislation in the next two years. So, in that case, the determined, concerted, and well-planned nonviolent action of ordinary people brought lasting political change.
Unfortunately the word ‘nonviolence’ still looks like it just means ‘not violent’, when it means so much more than that but until we think of a better word we’ll keep calling these mass expressions of faithfulness ‘nonviolence movements’. These are at work all over the world – at the gates of British nuclear weapons bases, at tar sands extraction sites in Canada, in the fields of India to resist corporate take-over of the land, and in most other corners of the world. Every nonviolence movement inspires every other and teaches something new about this very practical, political way of loving.
(By the way, the boat I live on is named ‘Promise’ after the bit in Martin Luther King’s Mountaintop Speech where he says ‘I’ve seen the Promised Land.’)
Here is some footage from Gandhi’s Salt March in 1930. The Salt March or Salt Satyagraha was an act of nonviolent resistance against an oppressive salt tax levied against the Indian poor by the British Raj. The marchers walked 241 miles through Gujarat to the sea and began to harvest their own, tax-free salt. This gave hope to millions of Indians who began resisting their British rulers in other nonviolent ways. It’s a bit too simple just to say that the British panicked, used violence, then gave up, but that pretty much was the outcome. Eventually they gave up India entirely. That didn’t happen just because of the Salt March or other nonviolence movements, but these were instrumental to say the least in achieving independence. In turn, Gandhi’s methods inspired activists in other countries, not least Martin Luther King. Here is some original footage from the Salt March – the parts don’t quite mesh together but they’re well worth a watch.

The most significant thing about the Civil Rights movement and the struggle for Indian independence was not their (largely) nonviolent character, important thought that was. What mattered more was that these were a social movements of ordinary people with no unusual power, role or position, who effectively challenged the edifice of state-sanctioned injustice and helped to build a more life-affirming society. In the following short film the Dongria Kondh people are resisting the multinational mining company Vedanta Resources, which plans to open a huge open-cast mine on the community’s sacred mountain: http://www.survivalinternational.org/films/mine (Thanks to Sunniva T for suggesting this one.)
P V Rajagopal talks about his work applying Gandhian insights to grassroots social change movements in India to support rural poor people and their right to work the land and resist its takeover by multinational corporations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHHwNCW5XOU
And what about you and me? What movement are we part of?
Bye-bye!
We’ve reached the end of our year of wonders for Monday morning! We’ve had 52 ways of loving, from Eva Szasz’s Cosmic Zoom to Martin Luther King’s mountaintop speech. Thank you for following the blog all this way. Thanks especially if you suggested your own Monday wonders. I did get stuck a few times and one or two of your suggestions saved me from despair late on Sunday night. I’m sorry that I couldn’t include all your suggestions but in a few days I’ll include an entry listing all the bits that didn’t make it.
All the entries are still available at www.waysofloving.com and on the wonder map so you can always go round again if you like.
It’s not a bad thing that it’s coming to an end, though. YouTube seems plastered with ads now anyway. The real wonders are out there and not on our screens… but you know that.

Week 51: 'An understanding ... of the human place in the order of creation.'
Wonder spawned in: Throughout history
Wondered into being by: Ordinary folks as usual
Wonderspan: 10 minutes
Food. In every bite is the sun’s light, Earth’s evolution, the labour of other people, and particles your body will soon make its own. In food culminate all the things that make life and communion possible – cosmos, Earth, people – it really is something to say Grace for. If we want to evaluate how well we love ourselves, others and the Earth, there is no better barometer than how we grow and eat food. With food, fundamental questions about how we live our lives and organise our societies are literally in your face.
British households throw away more than seven million tons of food and drink each year, worth £12 billion. Why does it matter? Here are a few more facts, starting with one I’ve mentioned before; the industrial food system:
Has destroyed a third of the Earth’s topsoil in less than half a century;
Consumes more than 2,000 litres of water to produce a piece of steak and more than 1,200 litres to produce a loaf of bread;
Consumes 10 calories of energy for every 1 calorie of food it produces;
Generates yields that are no higher than smaller-scale biodiverse alternatives and creates fewer jobs;
Will collapse worldwide within a few decades due to its heavy dependence on fossil fuels.
That has barely begun to explain why change is necessary, but it's enough to be getting on with. Some people are grappling with the problem in creative, practical way and what they are doing is amazing and exciting. We'll be looking at one or two of these ways of loving today.
I've gathered four short film clips; please pick one for your Monday morning wonder. Each film shows how changing the way we grow and eat food is not only socially and ecologically urgent, but involves us in questions of passion -- that is, of what we think life and society are all about. All the films show that the Earth can produce such benign abundance when we work with and not against it. This is a wonder, yet so is how these individuals and groups talk about what their commitment means to them; it’s about the whole of life, they say. Be inspired!
1. Vandana Shiva
Here, physicist-turned-farmer Vandana Shiva talks about the work of Navdanya farm – a place ‘hospitable to every species and every culture’. She has found that biodiverse systems are twice to five times as productive as industrialised monocrop systems (including those depending on genetically modified organisms – ‘mutilated seeds’).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9K0cZGQgHA
2. Wendell Berry
Poet and farmer Wendell Berry talks about how working with the land teaches certain attitudes to work and food. We need ‘a proper humility’, he says, in order to understand the kind of relationship to the Earth that will support human life in the long term: one that allows nature rather than fights it. His uncommon eloquence and depth of spirit make him (for me) a modern-day prophet. Every line is like a planted seed, the listener’s mind and heart like a waiting hillside for this ‘good farmer’.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODX-DE8EfqI
3. Rebecca Hosking
Here is Rebecca Hosking and Tim Green’s film showing her quest to change her own farm. It’s one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen: beautifully made, straightforward, grounded, sad, moving, still hopeful. Here are the first ten minutes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xShCEKL-mQ8
Or if you prefer to skip straight to the bit that talks about how a farm, configured differently, might feed 10 people per acre – twice as many people as conventional methods in Britain - then this link takes you to a point later in the programme:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxsPfeSRIFo
4. Overtown
Overtown in Miami is one of the oldest and poorest communities in the United States. The community has planted a permaculture garden on old waste land beneath the freeway. These guys are from the school of ‘Just Do It’. ‘We had to bring the dirt,’ they say, without asking for permission because the authorities would have said no. This film by Kevin Brown, Francine Cavanaugh and Adams Wood is a bit grainy but I find it really inspiring:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s6wZqFh9RY
There’s a bit more about Overtown here: http://overtowner.com/
A few easy ways to join in:
Here are a few things I've been trying to do - all fairly simple, none particularly radical:
Cut down waste: http://england.lovefoodhatewaste.com For most items apart from fish and some meat, ‘best before’ dates can be roundly ignored.
Cut down on meat and dairy products - if not veggie, then treat meat as a treat, not every night of the week.
Cut down on heavily processed food (it typically tastes awful anyway).
When buying:
avoid supermarkets if possible (they're not on our side, nor on the Earth's); small shops are not always much better but they are better
choose locally grown food if possible (and never anything air-freighted)
buy only seasonal produce as far as possible (try a veg box scheme, put a seasonal produce calendar on your kitchen wall)
avoid heavily packaged goods
prefer organic and fairtrade goods (yep, they’re more expensive, but usually only by a few pence - some people can't afford them, many can)
notice when you’re thinking of buying New Zealand butter / South African wine / Moon cheese etc. and refrain!
Try growing your own organic food – you don’t need much space.
Enjoy cooking! Try never again going to McDonalds/Subway/Pret a Manger etc.

Thanks to Fritha L for suggesting growing food in unusual spaces for a Monday wonder.
Week 50: 'Love is concrete.'
Whether you’ve followed this blog through 2012 or just dipped in from time to time, thank you. Are you wondering, as I have been, about whether there’s any more to it than a way of colouring in Monday morning? There doesn’t have to be, but I did start it for a reason: to ask whether the experience of wonder matters. Are wonders and wonderings ways of taking care of one another and the world – ways, in another word, of loving?
‘Loving’? A friend once told me that of the people who are working for some kind of positive change in the world, some tend to talk about love as a motive; others, truth. ‘I’m for truth,’ she said. I decided then that I’d better be for truth, too. Love seemed an airy-fairy word, which works ok on a warm day when everyone’s being ‘nice’ but blows over with the first cold front. Truthfulness sounded edgier, forceful, authentic in all conditions. After all, injustice is not born of a lack of love, but of a lie: Palestinians are not calling for our loving good wishes but for what rightfully belongs to them.
Earnestly 'being for truth' worked well for a while but it’s a little chilly. It's hard to kick back and relax when everything has to be 'authentically' this or 'genuinely' that. ‘I love you’ doesn’t quite translate as ‘My feelings for you are authentic’. So I was having a rethink when I was introduced to the work of Isabel Carter Heyward, who talks about love in a way no-one could call namby-pambical:
‘Love, like truth and beauty, is concrete. Love is not fundamentally a sweet feeling; not, at heart, a matter of sentiment, attachment, or being “drawn toward”. Love is active, effective, a matter of making reciprocal and mutually beneficial relation with one's friends and enemies.’
Elsewhere, Carter Heyward talks of love as practical commitment to a ‘right relationship’. Whether with a lover, a friend, a stranger, an oppressed group, society, or our ecology, love is committed to the integrity and flourishing of the relationship. It is loving, in this sense, to make rhythms from packets of pasta at Tesco’s, ride a bike rather than drive a car, to marvel at how bodies move, give yourself to the freedom of a dance. In their right relationship, a sperm and an egg love their way to becoming a baby. And the man who stood in front of a tank in Beijing gave himself in that moment to a way of loving, which the Chinese government so couldn’t bear that they took him away forever. So this kind of love is also a form of truthfulness or faithfulness.
If these are all expressions of ‘loving’, what is ‘a wonder’ and how do we know one? The word’s ancient linguistic origins are completely unknown but we get a clue from the evolution of another word: ‘miracle’. This comes from Latin mirari, ‘to wonder at, marvel, be astonished’ which, in turn, was born from the Proto-Indo-European root smei, ‘smile’. This bit of linguistic jiggery-pokery suggests that a wonder is something miraculous, which we recognise not thanks to a GSCE in miracology, but in simply finding that we are smiling in astonishment. Just as it is only our own laughing that can tell us when a joke is funny, so when we feel astonished – and smile – we know we are in the presence of a ‘wonder’.
So does experiencing ‘a wonder’ inspire ‘loving’? That would be marvellous. It would make a smashing final scene in an old black and white film, in soft focus with some rousing music, maybe Rachmaninov: ‘Darling, do you think wonder inspires love?’ ‘Oh yes, I… I think I do, darling.’ ‘Oh… darling.’ Aaaaand CUT!
Let’s pare this down a bit. All sorts of evil deeds have been committed because someone believed they had encountered ‘a wonder’; Hitler admired the Aryan race (or the idea of one) as a beautiful and pristine expression of humanity’s greatness. Nor do acts of love depend on a sense of wonder; we don’t need a feeling for wonder to recognise that war is horrific rather than heroic and to resist militarism.
Hm, so if a feeling for wonder is neither sufficient nor necessary for ‘loving’, can we get by pretty well without it? Sure we can. We can get by with never seeing a mountain, too, or never tasting a tomato grown in real soil, or never wondering what life in Japan is like. There’s no reason to do any of these things, except that by things like these, life expands. A life that doesn’t expand (one way or another) but rather atrophies and shrivels, tends to be poor in love, including for itself.
Wonder, as an attitude, is hospitality for the universe; it lets the cosmos in like a blind drawn up in the morning and smiles at what crosses its threshold, finding it astonishing and giving thanks for it. Or perhaps wonder is not a host but a wanderer, who sets out into the day like Walt Whitman to meet the world and ask what the grass really is. I don’t know; I am never sure whether wonder is something I’m doing or something happening to me.
Right now the leaves are falling in the winter breeze and I notice them shiver on their twigs; the water wrinkles in gusts. Watching this, the first feeling I fill with is not love, but belonging; I can feel my own self ripple in the gusts and shiver on my branch; I am folded into the universe and participate in it. But then, to belong is to love. If love is the rightness of a relationship, then watching these last of autumn's acts, I am stirred by wonder into a kind of loving. Sometimes, just to notice is a way of loving.
I feel stirred in the same way watching Eva Szasz's film Cosmic Zoom, listening to Ricardo Gallen play Bach, or hearing Hannah Hauxwell say that when she eventually leaves her home in the hills for a house in town, most of all she’ll miss the moonlight on the water. I even feel moved in the same way when Peter Mugridge talks about his love of trains: ‘Some people like fast cars; I like trains.’
In each of these the presence of life can be felt, for all these are ways of loving. These are human stories where life is allowed to be itself. A friend once said that life is like mushrooms; it doesn’t need our help, it just needs us not to get in its way so it can do its thing and grow and grow. I suppose we could say life just needs us not to build Oxford Street on top of it.
By ‘life’ I mean a kind of aliveness to the world; holding an attitude of curiosity; wondering. In this body-and-soul aliveness is an openness to humanity, a feeling for being related to others, even to all things. We admire someone whose smile exudes warmth, or who faces down adversity with resourcefulness, or who can strive hard and still consider the people around them, or who applies their intelligence to a passion for justice. Perhaps this is because we can sense the life in them, which reminds us in turn that we are alive, too. In other words, it’s possible to be more or less alive and the more alive we are, the more humane we become. I don’t know whether this is always true, but that it may be true even sometimes is a wonder.
It is interesting to wonder whether aliveness, when allowed to express itself, leads to ways of loving. Ann Druyan and Carl Sagan wanted their science education work to inspire in the public a passionate curiosity in the cosmos. Humbled as we would be, they hoped, by the ‘great story of the universe’, we would then see the grandstanding of the Cold War for the anthropocentric presumption it was. More than this, we would feel spurred on to express ourselves politically. If that had been true, all scientists would also be activists, so we can't draw a straight line between someone's passionate spirit of enquiry and an active interest in political affairs, or indeed any other kind of loving.
All the same, I think Ann Druyan and Carl Sagan were onto something. Although Carl Sagan (not sure about Ann Druyan) was quite sceptical of religion, his hope would make sense to many religious people. For people of faith, choices are guided, and more than merely an expression of their personal appetite for this or that. One way of understanding a faith commitment is in being guided by experience of a truth deeper and wider than one's own life as an individual. The question of what leads our choices and how well they are guided really matters, especially given the problems we are now inflicting on each other and the Earth.
Our society’s ideology is mistrustful of anything that might impinge on individual choices. Among the extolled virtues of both capitalism and democracy is the freedom to choose, upon which stands their most powerful critique of communist dictatorships. In the ideology of the Eastern Bloc, individual freedoms were always trumped by the prescribed needs of the collective (unless you numbered among the elite and could exempt yourself from your own ideological rhetoric). The results were often profoundly oppressive (although not always so).
But our version of capitalism skews the freedom to choose, assimilating it as far as it can into an economic system built on consumer choices. You can have this car or that one, this career or that one, this wife or that one, and so on. It’s as if we’re in a vast sweet shop and we can choose anything as long as it’s fancily packaged sugary fat of one kind or another. Even charity gets packaged up as a consumer choice. What’s more, you can have your metaphorical Mars Bar immediately, there is no cost apart from to your own pocket, and there’s no theoretical limit to the amount you can amass. Apart from the light brake of taxation and the framework of a liberal law, our version of capitalism has no rules. Its principal axiom is: if you are able to, then you are entitled to. After 9/11, when George W Bush told everyone to keep shopping in order to preserve the US economy, the mantra became: if you are able to, then you should.
As has been said many times in many ways, problems crop up when we expect to obtain something without having to wait and work; when we assume the only cost of a thing is financial and not social, ecological or cultural; and when nothing is around to remind us that it is possible to have too much, just as it is possible to have too little. So the choices the great sweet shop offers are an illusion; for all its tinsel and bling, it’s also quite boring. It is also an illusion of democracy when we imagine that we the people get to decide how we are governed; the system serves up a few narrow options every five years, that’s all, and mainstream politics stays pretty much the same.
I want to suggest that this is why a feeling for wonder is important; it can help enrich our choices, forging them into ways of loving, and it can do this whether our worldview is mainly scientific, religious, both or neither. I'll try to illustrate this...
I met someone at a wedding who likes to go shooting. I wondered what that’s like. It’s out of this world to feel the power of the gun, she said, and much more exciting it is to hit a real bird than clay. I can believe that, but this was the week I had been researching the Monday wonder on bird migration and flight. As my conversation partner spoke I fell into a reverie of a bird in flight, each of its feathers rippling as it felt out the air beneath it. I could almost feel the swept line of the feather’s leading edge, the flexing lightness of its hollow stem, and wondered that this structure embodies more knowledge of air’s movement than does the scientific research of two centuries. I imagined the feather ever closer up: the vein and the rachis, the barbules and millions of hooklets. And then I watched the shot rip through the lot, and the still-flapping bird fall to earth.
My thought was not one of sentimental pity for a bird, nor a moral question of right and wrong – I would probably kill a bird, too, if it were my only meal. My distracting and rather inconvenient reverie led to something else: a feeling for the dignity of the bird’s being, of which killing it for fun seemed a particularly wanton violation. (Rural economies now rely more heavily on this kind of thing, but we have to ask about the justice of poorer people in the countryside depending upon the sporting habits of wealthy, mostly urban people).
A few weeks ago this blog was marvelling at soil. There are all manner of ecological, economic and social reasons to conclude that topsoil loss has been the most ignored form of serious human damage to the Earth. These are cause enough to preserve the soil we have remaining, but a sense of soil as wonder could deepen and enrich that commitment. That is, when we know soil as a complex living community which takes millennia to form and embodies in its unity a reflexive natural intelligence, it’s difficult to go back to thinking of it just as raw material for plants.
This feeling for the dignity of being – the peculiarly human ability to witness the universal in the particular, find integrity there and cherish it – can inspire choices which we could describe as ‘good’. The attitude, perhaps, is one of honouring something as an end in itself, not just as a means to one. Soil again provides an example. It is our parent in Nature, to which we owe our being. If we truly honour our mother and father, it is not for economic or practical reasons, nor is it due to the insistence of some moral calculus or social norm, nor is it just because they may be good people. The special kind of honour due to loving parents is that through them we have come to belong to the world. The same goes for soil.
The Kalahari bushman honours the kudu he has killed by wiping its saliva on his face and offering a prayer. Anthony Pisano honours the stranger by welcoming him or her into his New York home. P V Rajagopal, whom I hope we might meet on this blog before it finishes, offers a prayer to the land, the forest and the water before each meeting of nonviolence activists in India; this honours the things on which their lives and wellbeing depend. Baaba Maal honours the elders of Kirina for welcoming him under the mango tree and carrying the wisdom of their community's history: ‘Everything did start from here.’
These are all ways of loving. They are ways of seeking out or making a flourishing relationship: humane, life-affirming, life-giving, and which recognises our common relatedness and belonging. Wonder can inspire such a commitment as this. Rather, it can disturb us into one – that is, stir up our assumptions of order, rearrange our lives, awaken and refresh our aliveness.
What about the sweet shop? Wonder, a feeling for the dignity of being, honouring our relatedness and committing to ways of loving together creates a palpable tension with the great sweet shop of capitalism and its tag-along illusion of democracy. So wonder can culminate in politics; in joy, too, for it's an exciting way to live. Just look at the RBS activists protesting against tar sands extraction – they’re having a ball.
We are under serious threat of ecological collapse, economic collapse, and the social collapse that is war. We are violating the Earth, creating behemoth corporations, making billionaires and leaving paupers on the streets and substituting politics for economics. I think it's fair to say in general that we have little sense of our own history, little feeling for the ecology to which we belong, little sense of common belonging in general. Most of us don’t really know what we’re eating or how it got there, some young people in cities have never seen the countryside, we watch an average of 3.9 hours of TV per day, few people have much autonomy in their work.
All the same, there are exciting things happening. Groups, usually small, are trying to live in more creative ways, building communities of place and interest, and giving their time and energy to movements of social change (about which, more in the next two weeks). I don’t know how significant these movements will become, but I want to belong to them anyway; I’d rather do that than get stuck in the sweet shop!
Whatever we identify as – educators, activists, lovers, learners, friends, parents, artists – cultivating a sense of wonder meets life with life and honours it. A child will look at the moon and wonder at it, but that child needs adults around who wonder along with them. A school student needs to know how to analyse and conceptualise Shakespearean plays and crystal formations, but not as much as how to wonder at them. A young adult choosing how to live, what work to do, what they have to offer to their community, will be helped by a feeling of wonder which grounds them in a sense of what life can be about. Wonder is a way of loving.

Week 49: 'My land is my dignity.'
Wonder spawned in: Two million years ago
Wondered into being by: Early hominids and, today, the San bushmen of the Kalahari
To experience this wonder at its best: Make sure you can hear the sound and click 'full screen'
Two million years ago we evolved the ability to run and this became our earliest form of hunting large animals. Before we invented spears, slings, arrows, we simply ran after our quarry them until we caught them. This is still done today by the San bushmen of the Kalahari in Botswana and in this BBC film, which explores the human being as a hunting mammal, we follow the hunt from start to finish:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=826HMLoiE_o
Extra...
But did you notice that the BBC categorised the film on Youtube under 'Pets & animals'? Hang on, these are people.
And would you guess from the BBC film that the same people were violently evicted from their land by the Botswana government to make way for diamond mines? Or that bushmen who tried to return say they were 'beaten, tortured and taken court for hunting'. It would have been good to know that from the narration, don't you think?
After their eviction, the bushmen struggled in the courts for their legal right of return and after many years' work, eventually won it. Since then they have been fighting the Botswanan government to allow them to return in practice. Here's a very good film about their story (apart from the early 'noble savage' reference): www.survivalinternational.org/films/reportersbushmen
So it seems a whole people were evicted from their land - when they were there long before anyone else - so that posh City chaps in London and New York could buy their ladies a fancy type of stone. Diamonds... It might be better not to bother with them at all and instead give the money to the Kalahari Bushmen's campaign. You can find out more about that here: www.survivalinternational.org/tribes/bushmen
But isn't this cultural violence a specifically African kind, symptomatic of corrupt governance? After all, the British government would never do such a thing, right? Wrong. Britain did just the same to to the Chagos Islanders in the 1960s so that the US could use the tiny British Indian Ocean Territory atoll of Diego Garcia as a base for its nuclear bombers. When the islanders won the right to return in the High Court, the government used the Royal Prerogative to get the Queen to overrule the judgement. The Chagossians are still fighting for their right to return - from Crawley in Sussex. There's more about that in John Pilger's film here: http://archive.org/details/John_Pilger
Week 48: 'But perfect.'
Wonder spawned in: When the dinosaurs were about
Wondered into being by: No-one really knows
Wonderspan: About 10 minutes
Have you ever found a bird skull on a beach? Hugh MacDiarmid did and it led him into a short, wondering sort of poem, called Perfect:
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=JRBKqbui2EgC&lpg=PA178&ots=NLrxEHiB_5&dq=I%20found%20a%20pigeon's%20skull%20on%20the%20machair&pg=PA178#v=onepage&q&f=true
‘That fixed the tilt of the wings’. Each ‘th’ in that line reminds me of beating wings, perhaps the long thuh-thuh-thuh of a pink-footed goose coming in to land in Essex at the end of its winter migration from Svalbard in the Arctic Circle. Or it might be the near-invisible thththth fanning of a ruby-throated hummingbird – barely as long as a thumb and weighing less than a walnut – flying 1,500 feet above the Gulf of Mexico on its solitary autumn journey from the Canadian prairies right to the edge of the Andes.
It’s Monday morning, wonder time, and this week we’re in love with the migrations of birds, ringing the Earth as they do in their millions every spring and autumn. Apart from the whales and maybe humans, there is probably no animal other than a migratory bird which inhabits so much of the Earth and is so freely able to live beyond its immediate habitat.
Meet the migrants
Some migrations are stunning achievements. Bar-headed geese will fly non-stop from India to Tibet. That’s remarkable in its own right, but all the more so when between the two lie the Himalayas! Not only do the birds need to climb higher in a few hours than any other animal has ever been – up to 29,000 feet – but they must also survive the extreme cold (-50C) and thin air. The birds have to generate sufficient lift and absorb enough oxygen in air less than half as dense as it is at sea level; in doing so they suffer hypoxia and just seem to fly right through the pain.
Here’s a flock of bar-headed geese on their migration, joined incongruously by the virtual whispering wing-beats of David Attenborough - well worth seeing: http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/life/Bar-headed_Goose#p00b2n65
There are two birds with more or less the longest annual migrations. Many sooty shearwaters migrate from the Falkland Islands, where they don’t care whether they are Argentinian or British, to Norway. Their migration allows them to experience summer all year round (such as it is in Norway and the Falklands); the long days and short or non-existent nights give them plenty of time to breed. As the crow flies, the journey is 8,700 miles, but the shearwater isn't a crow; it's more of a global tourist with a round-the-world ticket. Many shearwaters leave New Zealand for Alaska or Eastern Russia but prefer to cross the Pacific to Chile first, before heading north up the Americas' Western seaboard – this way round, the return trip is some 40,000 miles.
Here’s a map from National Geographic, generated from trackers attached to a number of shearwaters: http://news.nationalgeographic.co.uk/news/bigphotos/images/060808-bird-migration_big.jpg
The Arctic tern flies even further – over 42,000 miles per year, or nearly twice around the Earth. It lives almost entirely on the wing, hardly ever landing at all. They’re just up there, floating on the air, or on the sea, feeding. Only when they breed – and that's not every year – do they need to make use of the land.
In this short film, Greenlander Carsten Egevang takes us through the lonely, uncertain, mildly dangerous and rather thankless task of tracking the terns’ migrations. Again, Arctic terns like their migration to take in quite a bit of the globe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bte7MCSBZvo
Bar-tailed godwits have a record of their own, too, in being capable of the longest non-stop migratory flight: the 8,000 miles between Alaska and New Zealand. Stopping is out of the question, for they have only the Pacific beneath them and they can’t swim, so they double their weight in readiness for the trip so as to store enough fat.
Here’s a map of the godwits' migration: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fe/Bar-tailed_Godwit_migration.jpg
So what does 'fix the tilt of the wings'?
How do these long-range migrants find their way around the world? Birds need somehow to ‘know’ to migrate and when, to know in which direction to fly in, to know how long to fly for, and to know when to alter their migration pattern when needed. And they have to do all this with a brain the size of a pea.
Surely, it’s genetic. We know it is because migratory birds become restless when the time comes to take flight. Even fledglings which have never migrated before and in experiments are shielded from other influences begin to get agitated as migration time approaches. This agitation is indeed a genetic trait, but there is nothing genetic that tells a fledgling bird where to fly to, or even in which direction. For this, in many species a bird’s first migration takes place alongside its parents or flock. On the way, the new migrant will remember visible landmarks – mountain ranges and coastlines, for example – and even smells, and so learn the way. The bird is likely to form an attachment to the route and its precise destination for the rest of its life.
So migration is also a learnt behaviour, but this still doesn’t explain how birds find their way when there are no obvious landmarks or when it's cloudy or dark. What if most of the migration is by night over the sea? Neither a genetic trigger nor a learnt pattern of behaviour can help with that. How do they manage? After all, no airline pilot would set off from New York to London on a cloudy night with only their own eyes to work out where they were.
On the face of it, we might imagine that a bird can just fly in the same direction as it did last year and hope for the best, but if the wind is even slightly different – and it will be – then it will certainly be blown off course and never reach its destination. To make up for this, birds are able to use the sun and stars as a combination clock and compass. With the sense of time and direction that this clock-compass gives them, they can tell when to turn, gain height, or look for land. The most remarkable thing of all is that many species of bird can detect the Earth’s magnetic field. With this information, the bird’s tiny brain can tell, in effect, north from north-east even on a cloudy night over the sea.
The secret appears to lie inside the bird’s skull, right where Hugh MacDiarmid was looking when he wrote his poem. Here, small amounts of magnetised iron, called magnetite, are concentrated. Magnetite reacts under the influence of a magnetic field and in birds it is connected to the nervous system. It’s possible that some birds might even be able to see the Earth’s magnetic field, for it appears to affect the behaviour of certain photoreceptor cells in the eye. (I imagine sheaves of colour on the sea’s horizon like a permanent, shifting aurora.) Just in case you don’t believe me, here’s the science: http://www.gps.caltech.edu/~jkirschvink/pdfs/WiltschkoPigeonPulse.pdf (see pp. 3031-2)
What happens when the magnetic field is disrupted, as it is when there are high solar winds? Do birds get lost? Scientists have found that homing pigeons do indeed lose their way during solar storms. So if one of these whips up a solar storm, we'll not only see the northern lights as far south as Scotland but we'll also know that there are pigeons somewhere having to stop and ask for directions. If you don’t believe me, ask a Belgian; there are more racing pigeons in Belgium than anywhere else, and that's a fact. And if you missed it earlier in the year, there is more on the northern lights here: http://www.waysofloving.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/week-15-i-would-like-to-apologise-to.html
Magnetite is found in many other animals, too: bees, many bacteria, termites, fish, whales, sharks and, wait for it… wait for it… … people! Unless you’re anaemic, there is magnetite inside the bones of your sinuses. No-one knows why. In one experiment, bar magnets were placed on the heads of blindfolded people, which affected their ability to get home. For anyone with a surfeit of common sense who rightly refuses to take my word for this, here’s the article in the journal Science: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/210/4469/555.full.pdf?sid=471a7280-e207-4bf3-a412-9f7d093d97c5.
The wonder behind the wonder…
…is perhaps the feather, which gives the bird its flight, warmth, protective coat and colours. Feathers evolved through the same process as hair did. Some dinosaurs were heavily feathered to help them keep warm. Although many feathered dinosaurs couldn't fly, some could, like Archaeopteryx, whose feathers look as sophisticated as a modern bird’s. Despite these discoveries, perhaps because of them, the development of feathers and then wings for avian flight still puzzles evolutionary biologists (and it's a favourite topic on creationist websites).
It really does seem puzzling. Even rudimentary flight would require a highly complex anatomical development. To achieve this, wouldn’t a long succession of genetic mutations be necessary before the change gave the new animal species an advantage in the processes of natural selection? If so, how could each individual mutation have been selected for? And how could such an intermediate species survive without usable forelimbs, when presumably it would have been making good use of these before they started to change into something wing-like? Even if a 'flying' animal were only gliding between trees, it's a big jump (literally) from that to being able to sustain flight - and it's not something that an animal could get away with only half-doing. So how did evolution pull it off? Well, I don't know much about evolution, but it is a wonder to realise that the five fused bones in a bird's wing evolved from the same ancestral digits as did a dolphin's flipper, or the digits you're now using to scroll down the screen.
To finish, here is a succession of images that take use ever closer into the feather's structure, right down to the barbules and hooklets which part and remarry themselves again and again through preening (you can zoom into some of these for a closer look). In the lightness and curve of a feather is the magic of flight.

Have you seen your first migrant bird yet this autumn? It’s probably not too late – you might still get to watch a winter thrush, fieldfare or redwing arrive from Siberia or Spitsbergen if you’re lucky.

Week 47: 'If I haven’t money in my pocket it’s one thing nobody can rob me of… it’s mine…’
Wondered into being by: Hannah Hauxwell
Wonderspan: 12 min
To experience this winter at its best: Click on the full screen icon
I'm 40 today and I've been wondering on the marvel of ageing. It is associated with decline but the word 'ageing' contains no such suggestion - it just means passing through life, starting from when we're born and ending when we die. When not marred by undue suffering, ageing is the most beautiful process in the world. It is how we belong with the seasons. Between young and old is a whole landscape.
This Monday we hear from one older person in particular who is anything but 'old' in the misguided sense of 'spent'. In 1972, the year I was born, Hannah Hauxwell lived on her own in a farmhouse high in the hills of County Durham, miles from the nearest road. She farmed her 80 acres alone, selling one bullock annually and living mainly from that income for the rest of the year.
The filmmaker Barry Cockcroft included Hannah in his documentary about people living through hard winters in the hills. His project was one of several pioneering films appearing in the early 1970s (the extraordinary World At War documentary series was being made at the same time). I find the film full of humanity; like the best documentaries it allows people to be themselves as far as possible. Hannah Hauxwell is tough and gently spoken, highly articulate and wholly down-to-earth.
I recommend the whole film - it's very beautiful indeed. But if you only have a few minutes then go straight to 18:30 and watch through to 30:30.

For Hannah Hauxwell her daily life is a way of loving; later in the film she quotes an unnamed William Longstaff poem she likes very much:
Lone silent hills
Clear singing streams
Mind them
Be near to God.
Thanks to Sunniva T for suggesting this film.
Teresa Hsu is 113. A century ago her family were extremely poor in China. The experience led her to dedicate her life to supporting the poorest of all people. Here she is being young:

So, wonder-lovers, the statistics tell me that you're mostly erotic, storgic and agapic, and I can only say that I'm not surprised.
I don't have much time today so I'll get straight to it. It's maps. Motley maps of space, time, life. The categories are old maps, maps of outer space, maps of the Sun, maps of the Earth, maps of localities, maps of people. Pick a category and go exploring...
Oldest maps in the world
For a while the oldest map was thought to be Babylonian, around 5th century BC, chiseled into stone. It was intended to show the entire world, with Bablyon at its centre and three islands situated around this axis, known as island-"place of the rising sun", island-"the sun is hidden and nothing can be seen", and, most compelling of all, island-"beyond the flight of birds" (says Wikipedia). There's a swamp and a canal and the whole thing is surrounded by a circle of sea, beyond which are objects from Babylonian mythology - always just there but beyond the reach of humankind
Here's the stone: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/Baylonianmaps.JPG
And here's the Wikipedia article showing a key for the map's parts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_Map_of_the_World
It turned out that wasn't the oldest map after all. According to the admittedly not-the-most-authoritative Ancient Wisdom website, the oldest map was found inscribed on a mammoth tusk - yes, a mammoth tusk - in a tomb in Ukraine. It dates to 11000 to 12000 BC. It shows a river and some dwellings, think the experts, although they don't really know.
Here's a copy of the mammoth tusk map: http://www.ancient-wisdom.co.uk/Images/ukrainemap1.gif - see if you can work out what's going on in it.
And here's a map on a wall from 6000 BC, which today resembles an unusually arresting work of modern art. Have a look and guess what it is, then I'll tell you what the Ancient Wisdom website says it is: http://www.ancient-wisdom.co.uk/Images/countries/Turkish%20pics/catalhuyukmap.jpg
So the answer is... 'the streets and houses in plan form, lying beneath the profile of the mountain of Hazan Dag with its volcano erupting', of course. Well done if you got that right. I think I'll print that one off an hang it up at home - it's beautiful.
The Ancient Wisdom website has these and other very old maps here: www.ancient-wisdom.co.uk/cartography.htm
When we found out the universe was bigger than you could map precisely on a stone, we kept mapping anyway. Prepare to be stunned by this. Nick Risinger travelled 60,000 miles in the space of a year to create the photographs that would become this Sky Survey. When you click on the link you'll see our galaxy, The Milky Way, with every star visible from Earth photographed as if they lie on the ceiling of a 360-degree sphere. That's pretty wild already, but you can also navigate the image. Use the arrows at the bottom of the screen to move up, down, left and right, and to zoom in. Click the icon on the left to show the constellations:

Here's a video of the sun undergoing a coronal mass ejection, which is when the star sheds some of its matter in a huge explosion. This one is big enough for Jupiter to pass through the ring it creates. One of the YouTube comments (mine, as it happens) is: ‘It must have eaten a huge vindaloo last night.’ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lmm3J0WAres&hd=1 Here's the same thing scaled against the size of the Earth: http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/gallery/images/large/molten304_earth.jpg
Coronal mass ejections create solar storms, which interfere with our electronic equipment and allow us to watch the northern lights at lower latitudes, such as in Scotland. We did just that earlier in the year, in Week 15.
This is a false-colour image of the sun taken by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory showing up various features on its surface and in the coronosphere: http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/gallery/images/large/trico1.jpg
Here's an image closer in to the sun's surface, where magnetic tubes of plasma called spicules create a sort of chocolate-pudding-mix effect. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g5h76UahDMo/S9H5BDoO62I/AAAAAAAAAkU/_ZqAmYyM7Ww/s1600/spicules_sst.jpg
This is a sunspot. The sun has a seven-year sunspot cycle, which is said to interfere with our weather - some people say it even affects society's moods. If you zoom in you can see huge waves of golden plasma on the sun's surface, like a sea, at about 6,000 degrees centigrade: http://photoshd.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/sun1.jpg
Watching these videos and images of the sun I feel like I'm looking at a god.
Here is the Earth right now, in real time, from the International Space Station: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/iss_ustream.html
Here are how our cities appear to astronauts, who set up their own DIY photographic system in the space station to picture them for us. They remind me of the Monday wonder a couple of weeks ago when we looked at the thread-like mycelia of fungi, pushing out tiny filaments through the soil. From space the cities look like single living organisms: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItX8M55-65g
Here are our flights across the Earth in a 24-hour period, looking a little like a plague: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gkJTJIPWqo
Here is the patchwork of industrial agriculture in Kansas, introduced by the European Space Agency's Kelsea Brennan-Wessels (who seems to be waiting for her job in TV to come through) and backed with some pretty awful corporate synth-musak: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx6rwCkV0R4&hd=1 - argh!
And here is the loss of Arctic sea ice projected, due largely to air travel, industrial agriculture and other trappings of consumer-capitalist society - note how the image of the right gradually loses its covering... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z2RpwSrNAU And if Greenland and Arctic ice melts completely, this is what happens to the UK! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skMO4GN1rns
And finally, here are some non-topographical maps of the Earth from Worldmapper.org:

...and Greenhouse Gas emissions. Note how tiny Africa is. This is a good one to show folks who say they'd like to do something about global warming but think it's pointless while all those Africans keep breeding and burning up the planet. Nope - that'll be us doing that. In fact, the UK military alone emits the same greenhouse gas emissions as the whole of Senegal (according to Scientists for Global Responsibility): http://www.worldmapper.org/display.php?selected=299
...and here's one for Campaign Against Arms Trade to use - it's a map based on profits made from selling arms abroad: http://www.worldmapper.org/display.php?selected=281
The campaigning organisation Common Ground has a wonderful project facilitating people to make maps of their locatities based on what they think is most important to them. Many of these 'parish maps' have been published and I think they're still running the project. Describing the beautiful parish map of Thirsk, North Yorkshire, its creators wrote:
'The idea started with Civic Society concern over the proposed development of a supermarket on the nearby nursery site.
'Things can all too easily disappear before people realise what is happening and are able to do anything about it, so we decided to illustrate what people value most in the community, and the map will now be a permanent record.
'It will have a powerful influence on future development where people might be unaware of the importance of what the community did not want destroyed or damaged. People would be able to tell developers:'here it is on the map'. I am sure that if outside developers had some idea before they make plans for an area just how the community feels, they would think twice before investing their money in destroying things that other people value. The map is a public statement, a celebration of where we live.'
Here's the Thirsk map: http://www.england-in-particular.info/parishmaps/m-thirsk.html

The coding of the DNA map of human beings has been printed out and fills a hefty stack of bookshelves. The whole DNA double-helix is crammed in a tiny ball called a 'fractal globule', crammed in turn into the nucleus of each of our trillion cells. Only 3% of it actually does anything.

I've barely scratched the surface - there are so many incredible maps out there. What is a map, why do we map this and not that, what can be mapped and what can't, what is a map a metaphor of, is a map a mirror of reality or its dream, who are the map-makers...? I wish I had more time today to wonder at these questions before clicking 'Publish'. I wonder if map-makers wonder the same thing.
Week 45: 'Because you cared.'
Wonder spawned in: since forever
Thanks to Sunniva S for sending in her smile quotient findings for the Victoria Line, which scored a creditable 25%. It's difficult to create a smile count for the universe by averaging only two scores, but let's - the provisional World Smile Quotient is now ((9/36)+(56/500))/2, which is 18.1%. There is still time for others to join in. If anyone else has a go and lets me know how they get on (just leave a comment at the bottom of this post) then I'll report back here and add it to the global Smiles Map for Incidental Life Enhancement (S.M.I.L.E.).
So, we've looked at all manner of ways of loving since January - from a man who stood in front of a Chinese tank to a woman who has spent 20 years counting ants, to a man who opens his home to everyone, to women singing their protest song, to scientists marvelling at our precisely balanced and abundant universe, dancers dancing, musicians playing on the streets, people who make bicycles, watch the northern lights, murmurations of starlings or even just trains, rapt with love for the thing - all ways of loving, all wonder-full in their way, and there's more to come. What we haven't done yet, at least not directly, is spend a little time wondering at people being in love with each other.
So let's go back to 1968, credited as it is with bringing in a new era of love and freedom. The Vietnam War sinks to new depths and protests against it reach new heights; the civil rights movement reaches its acme - it's shaking up the old orthodoxies so much that Martin Luther King is assassinated, following Malcolm X's assassinatation five years earlier (whose legacy lives on in 1968 with the black power salute at the Mexico Olympics); Eastern Bloc people's resistance movements begin to stir as Czechoslovakia tries to act independently of the Soviet Union in the Prague Spring and Russian tanks roll in to stop it; cultural sanctions against apartheid South Africa begin this year; feminism gathers momentum as a social and political force, women strike for equal pay in Dagenham and win the political argument; Baader-Meinhof revolutionary activists wreak havoc in Germany; Poland erupts with student protests, mirroring the Prague Spring and triggering a national crisis; Paris explodes with student/worker revolutionary protests and new avant-garde arts and political movements, which nearly bring the government down; the first manned orbit of the moon is completed by the US ahead of Russia, just to remind us that the Cold War rumbles on and gets a little scarier each year; amid this tumult there's a shared sense (so we're told) that whatever mess we are making of the world, new ways of being and doing are becoming possible...and then there's a whole lot of loving in the wake of the Summer of Love the year before. Loving, loving and more loving - free love, Easy Rider love, polygamy and polyandry, experimental love, lots and lots of making love.
Or was there? Some older have told me that there wasn't that much free loving going on. On screen, you could see people starting to have covered-up sex, people talked about sex a bit more than before, men and women could study together in universities, but for most people life wasn't very different from how it had always been. Love played second fiddle to marriage, which meant marrying the right person, and that didn't necessarily mean a good person. For many, marriage for love was saved for fairy tales and sex kept in a cupboard with the best china for special occasions or dragged out like a half-empty bottle of whisky whenever they (or just he) felt like it. But the hippy revolution was having some kind of effect - at least people were starting to try things differently - the idea that you could marry for love, maybe even ought to, was gaining ground.
It was around 1968 that a social scientist called John Lee started to wonder what people meant by love. He noticed that when people talked about their partners, they used the word 'love' to mean some quite different, sometimes very different, things. He decided to collect statements about love from books - fiction, non-fiction, the Bible and so on - and he gathered these until he had hundreds. He set about wondering whether the statements could be clustered together and managed to order them into six broad groups, each corresponding, so he reckoned, to a different attitude of 'love' for a partner. He called these six attitudes 'colours of love' and in 1973 published his theory in Colours of love: an exploration of the ways of loving. Magazine editors were delighted - they had a new 'What kind of lover are you' quiz for their irrationally and insatiably quiz-ravenous readership.
For today's way of loving, you'll be finding out, without too much gravity, which love 'colour' is most you and you'll be directed accordingly to your very own Monday wonder, which will be waiting for you and it to ravish one another, hold hands, or at least say hello. First, we need to find out which love colour is yours. Please don't assume this is real science, but have a look at the six groups of questions below, which are based on an abbreviated, modified version of Hendrick and Hendrick’s (1990) love attitudes scale to fit John Lee's theory. As you go through, think about which group of statements you most agree with, then follow the links below. The questions ask you about your partner - if you ain't got one (and many of us ain't) then think of the last partner you had. Off you go...
Group One
My partner and I were attracted to each other immediately when we first met.
My partner and I have the right physical chemistry.
The physical part of our relationship is intense and satisfying.
My partner and I were meant for each other.
My partner fits my ideal standards of physical attractiveness.
Group Two
I try to keep my partner a little uncertain about my commitment to her/him.
I believe that what my partner doesn’t know about me won’t hurt her/him.
I could get over my relationship with my partner pretty easily.
When my partner gets too dependent on me, I back off.
I enjoy playing the field.
Group Three
It is hard for me to say exactly when our friendship turned into love.
To be genuine, our love first required caring.
Our love is the best kind because it grew out of a close friendship.
Our love is really a deep friendship, not a mysterious or mystical emotion.
Our love relationship is satisfying because it developed from a good friendship.
Group Four
I considered what my partner was going to become in life before committing myself to her/him.
I tried to plan my life carefully before choosing a partner.
In choosing my partner, I believed it was best to find someone with a similar background.
An important factor in choosing my partner was whether she/he would be a good parent.
Before getting very involved with my partner, I tried to figure out how compatible our goals were.
Group Five
If my partner and I broke up, I don’t know how I would cope.
It drives me crazy when my partner doesn’t pay enough attention to me.
I’m so in love with my partner that I sometimes have trouble concentrating on anything else.
I cannot relax if I suspect that my partner is with someone else.
I wish I could spend every minute of every day with my partner.
Group Six
I would rather suffer myself than let my partner suffer.
I am usually willing to sacrifice my own wishes to let my partner achieve her/his goals.
Whatever I own is my partner’s to use as she/he pleases.
When my partner behaves badly, I still love her/him fully and unconditionally.
I would endure all things for the sake of my partner.
Alright! Click on the link for you below if you agreed mostly with the questions in:
Grouup Four
The science behind this looks a bit dodgy but there's probably something in it (and some social science research supports parts of the the theory). Maybe we need more words for love: I'm ludicrously ludic about you; I'm feeling so pragmatic about you right now that I could kiss you; you bring out in me a great and enduring mania, darling, do I do the same for you? Say I do, say I do!... This would all aid communication considerably. Love should be to us as they say that snow is to the Inuit - we need more than one word for all its textures.
On 14 May 1904 Rainer Maria Rilke wrote a letter to a protégé poet:
To love is good, too: love being difficult. For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation. For this reason young people, who are beginners in everything, cannot yet know love: they have to learn it.
(And when it comes to love, we're all young!)

From the Old English wundor meaning 'marvelous thing, marvel, the object of astonishment', from the Proto-Germanic *wundran, which is of unknown origin. In Middle English the word also came to mean the emotion associated with such a sight. The verb 'to wonder' is also from Old English and is still used colloquially in German areas of Pennsylvania in some transitive senses, as well as in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire (e.g. 'It wonders me that...' for 'I wonder why...'). [From Etymology Online]
Isabel Carter Heyward, theologian, on love: 'Love, like truth and beauty, is concrete. Love is not fundamentally a sweet feeling; not, at heart, a matter of sentiment, attachment, or being "drawn toward". Love is active, effective, a matter of making reciprocal and mutually beneficial relation with one's friends and enemies.'

Air Canada, WestJet, Greater Toronto Airports Authority, and Vancouver Airport Authority Jointly Comment on Transport Canada's Flight Plan for Navigating COVID-19
Document affirms that the four organizations meet or exceed international health and safety measures
Travellers assured of the highest levels of biosafety protocols when travelling
Framework now in place for Canada's next steps to allow aviation and economies to restart and succeed within new normal
OTTAWA, ON, Aug. 14, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - Canada's two largest airlines and two largest airports today welcomed Transport Canada's long-awaited Flight Plan for Navigating COVID-19 as a major step forward in restarting Canada's air travel industry by confirming the country's biosafety standards. The document is a clear endorsement of biosafety programs already put in place by Air Canada, WestJet, the Greater Toronto Airports Authority and the Vancouver Airport Authority.
Flight Plan contains international, proven best practices for proactively protecting air travellers at all stages of the journey and provides the framework for restarting the aviation sector in Canada. It encompasses such measures as health checks, face coverings, touchless technology and cleaning protocols, all of which are in effect at Air Canada, WestJet, Toronto Pearson and YVR. Moreover, it outlines potential future enhancements, many of which the organizations are already working to adopt.
"By aligning the Canadian aviation sector with best international practices for customer health and safety, the Government of Canada has now established the necessary science-based preconditions that assure customers of the highest levels of safety for air travel and for reopening Canadian aviation across provinces and to the world," said Calin Rovinescu, President and Chief Executive of Air Canada. "Our Air Canada CleanCare+ program encompasses the measures recommended in Flight Plan and, as part of our evolving layered approach to biosafety, we remain committed to working with governments and other stakeholders to continue strengthening biosafety for all travellers. This is an important step to enabling business and the economy to safely restart alongside COVID-19, particularly the airline industry, which is a key economic driver."
"Safety has always been above all at WestJet and we welcome the implementation of Flight Plan," said Ed Sims, The WestJet Group President and CEO. "We remain committed to working with the Government of Canada to ensure all protocols are consistent with the best practices and advice available to us from around the world."
"Flight Plan represents the commitment of Canada's aviation industry and Transport Canada to introduce innovative programs and policies that prioritize the health and well-being of airport workers and passengers in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic," said Deborah Flint, President and CEO, Greater Toronto Airports Authority. "For our part, Toronto Pearson has worked collaboratively with public health officials, government and industry partners since the very beginning of the pandemic, culminating in the June launch of our Healthy Airport Commitment. From innovative solutions like a disinfection corridor, real-time air quality monitoring, UV light disinfection and autonomous floor cleaners to the fundamentals such as enhanced cleaning and the installation of hundreds of plexiglass barriers throughout the airport, passengers will see that health and safety is front and centre at Toronto Pearson and touches essentially every aspect of their journeys."
"We applaud the work of Transport Canada's Flight Plan and the biosafety standards set out to protect travellers at every step of the journey," said Tamara Vrooman, President and CEO, Vancouver Airport Authority. "We're pleased to see how this aligns with many programs already underway in our industry to ensure passenger health and safety in response to COVID-19. Similar to our partners across the Canadian aviation sector, we launched YVR TAKEcare, a multi-layered operational program and health and safety campaign, to create a safe and frictionless airport experience for airport employees and those who need to travel. YVR TAKEcare places industry-leading health, safety and cleaning practices and protocols at the forefront of airport processes and includes collaboration with many of our airport partners."
The four entities will continue to work with the Government of Canada to ensure that the aviation transportation sector can safely advance and continue its critical role in the country's economic recovery.

One war, three courageous women’s stories
Directed by Eunice Lau | Produced by Arthur Nazaryan and Sarah Winfield
In 1991, Somalia’s central government collapsed in the face of insurrection. Millions fled, but some chose to stay. This is the story of three such women who risked their lives to run humanitarian projects that have sustained their communities through decades of conflict
For many years, Nobel Peace nominee Dr Hawa Abdi has been a beacon of hope for 90,000 Somalis who find refuge on her ancestral land.
Ilwad Elman returned to war-torn Mogadishu, aged 19, to continue the work of her father, a human rights activist assassinated for getting child soldiers off the streets and into schools.
After witnessing the destruction of her homeland, the former First Lady of Somaliland, Edna Adan, returned to Hargeisa to build a hospital out of the rubble.
Through the Fire shows how these three extraordinary women helped hold their country together in its darkest hour.

KORI TUGGLE TO REJOIN CHURCH BROTHERS - Produce News
Church Bros., a fresh produce shipper based in Salinas, CA, announced that Kori Tuggle will join the company as vice president of marketing.
Tuggle was most recently the director of marketing and business development for Ocean Mist Farms, where she managed the marketing program for the trade and consumer markets for 10 years. At Church Bros., Tuggle will report to Chief Executive Officer Steve Church and work closely with the sales and new business development team as well as have responsibilities for marketing and other corporate priorities.
Tuggle started her produce career as a produce buyer at Safeway in 1996 after graduating from California Poly-San Luis Obispo with a degree in agribusiness. From Safeway she joined Church Bros. for four years during which she completed the MBA program at Pepperdine University.
"We are excited to have Kori rejoin Church Brothers, as she has over 12 years of marketing experience in our industry," Steve Church said in a press release. "Kori has a great work ethic, marketing skills and character that will help Church Brothers and True Leaf Farms with our continued plan for growth."
Tuggle said Church Brothers is a different farming company than it was 10 years ago, vertically integrated with a focus on innovation from field-to-plant processing.
"I'm anxious to return to the Church Brothers team and work for Tom and Steve, who have always believed in me and taught me so much in the earlier years of my career," Tuggle said in the press release. "I'm looking forward to being part of the relentless entrepreneurial vision that drives their businesses forward."
Tuggle will transition into the new job in the latter half of November.

Nonprofit Coalition Commits to Raising Newark Voter Registration by 10% in 2020
Posted by Eric Dawson 10.40sc on November 06, 2019
TAPinto Newark
Nineteen Newark-based nonprofits committed to registering a collective 4,100 unregistered Newark voters at Tuesday's Close the Gap campaign kickoff.
NEWARK, NJ — Among municipalities throughout Essex County and the state, Newark historically suffers from a woeful record of voter participation.
A coalition of 19 nonprofits is leading the charge to close the voter registration gap by 10 percent by March 2020, signaling a renewed sense of urgency ahead of the next national election.
Led by the Project Ready, an organization dedicated to strengthening Newark’s civic action through community education campaigns and initiatives, the coalition launched its Close the Gap campaign on Tuesday, coinciding with local and statewide elections.
Each election day and the weeks after, I find myself incredibly disappointed with the voter turnout,” said Project Ready Executive Director Shennell McCloud. “We’re launching on election day because we want to launch with a plan. If voter turnout is at its highest, here’s what we’re doing to keep it at its highest. If it’s at a low point, here’s the action plan for what we’re going to do so we can increase by the next elections.”
Comprised of partners like the Gem Project, the NAACP, Newark Trust, Youth Build and others, the coalition stems from Project Ready’s 2018 vote-by-mail campaign, which saw more than 1,000 applications submitted by Newarkers. McCloud said her organization then realized the need for a three-pronged approach: registering unregistered voters, ensuring transportation to the polls and pushing the appropriate policies so citizens can exercise their votes.
As part of the campaign, Project Ready deploys ambassadors who deliver training to participating organizations and teach the volunteers different outreach strategies. McCloud and her colleagues modeled their approach based on research from the organization Nonprofit Votes, which finds that promoting active civic participation through local nonprofits increases voter registration and turnout.
Only slightly more than half of Newark’s population is currently registered to vote, translating to about 148,128 voters, 5% less than the city’s registered voters in 2016, according to the New Jersey Data Book. Newark also lags behind by more than 11 percentage points for Essex County overall, leaving the state’s largest city acutely underrepresented.
Locally, only 5%of Newarkers turn out to vote for school board elections, McCloud said.
The 19 organizations participating in the Close the Gap kickoff committed to registering a collective 4,100 Newarkers over a five-month period, surpassing the minimum goal of 2,500.
But the work hardly ends with registration, according to McCloud. The organizations are also tasked with collecting signed voter commitment cards from the individuals they register, which will allow Project Ready to capture data and send election reminders via phone call and text message.
“Civic engagement is a cornerstone of our work, and we think it’s necessary to move the city forward as a whole and, most importantly, to ensure positive educational outcomes for our students,” said Natasha Dyer, deputy director at Newark Trust for Education, a participant in the campaign effort. “We’d like to encourage people not only to register to vote but to actually go out and vote in often-overlooked elections like school board elections.”
Project Ready’s coalition-driven registration efforts are compounded by a simultaneous petition that enlists Newarkers to push for online voter registration. McCloud said while her organization’s coalition partners are on the ground pushing people to register to vote, Project Ready will focus on urging legislators to add New Jersey to the 33 states allowing voters to register from the comfort of their computers.

Haiku TV Blog
TV recaps, my thoughts and a haiku every once in awhile. It's like watching tv with me.
Gossip Girl: Salon of the Dead
Dair hosts a salon!
(But Dan needs to visit one)
Chuck's mom is revealed
Gossip Girl in in it's final act of the season and we're at a cross-Rhodes! Ha! See what I did there? Lame, yeah I know. But really Lily and Rufus are living separately and it's affecting them each differently: Lily is lonely, rubbing her temples while eating pancake (no waffles. sigh.) with a glass of OJ and wine, and Rufus is stuck in Brooklyn staring off into the distance while strumming his guitar and hopefully writing the new it song of summer 2012. Watch out Goyte.
Quickly we're reminded that Serena is a sad and pathetic person by deleting all the requests on Gossip Girl for more info on Lola. She sighs. We know that's serious sadness.
What else happens in the episode? Here are some of the highlights:
Lola's getting used to the fame. Her confidence has grown so much that she wears a terrible brown and white plaid jacket in public.
Blair is prepping for her and Dan's "coming out" party. She tells him in lieu of showering he can just thrown on deodorant like Brooklynites. She must love him.
Serena is not good at being Gossip Girl and she's not good at being an evil villainess. Could her comments be any more obvious? Even Lola - the person whose identity was stolen and plastered all over NY tabloids and never noticed - figures it out. But, as usual, Nate doesn't.
Rufus lost himself when he married Lily and became a "+1." He is not talking about Google +1s or Vulture recap +points. He's actually sad.
Nate is sad because he misses all his friends. The eyebrows point slightly downward.
Lars von Trier values the words of Gossip Girl.
Lily's peace treaty food: Salad. Even I know waffles are the way to Rufus's heart. But he decides he'll eat her roughage. They decide to sell the apartment. Salad = magic.
"Just because a tree grows in Brooklyn, doesn't mean I have to plant it." I love Blair.
Dair meets the Brangelina of the five boroughs who look JUST LIKE THEM. I think they are real people - but I don't care enough to google their names.
Dan gets WAY too giddy about hosting a salon. I did care enough to google "salon." It's a gathering.
There was a lot of eavesdropping in this episode.
The desk guy at the SoHo Grand should be fired. How dumb are you to announce to someone's wife that their husband is paying for a woman to stay at the hotel? FIRED.
You know that the crowd is mostly intellectuals because many are wearing glasses.
In the fight between Rufus and Lily- I take Lily's side. Why the hell are you helping Ivy, Rufus? Dumb ass.
Diana's cleavage is insane.
Poor Chuck. I actually feel really bad for him. Very dramatic and un-British - EVEN THOUGH DIANA IS BRITISH!
I geeky squeeed at Dan wanting a sleepover. Adorable. Even more adorable? Their bedtime banter.
The things people on this show feel guilty about are ridiculous. Why does Lola feel guilty for "ruining Chuck's life," and then basically defend Serena's treatment of her?
Rufus goes to what appears to be a Couples Only diner. Then he find out he got cut off.
We finally get the obvious reveal that Diana is Chuck's mother. She wanted to see Chuck "desperately," so, as Chuck thankfully pointed out, she did it from Nate's bed. It's tough finding out who your real mom is, and tougher to find out she's a whore, but finding out she banged your best friend - that's gotta be the worst.
Then - there's a FINAL TWIST: That wasn't the secret Diana was trying to protect. There's something more - this might actually surprise me. But I have two genius friends who have said all along that they think Bart Bass is alive. This could be the twist!
So, what did you think of this week's Gossip Girl? I think this is the first time I'm sad that Serena doesn't have a temporary love interest because I think this storyline is even more terrible than any of her awful boyfriends.

I found this episode a Vanessa-sized bore. Maybe because she was mentioned Did Chuck ever make inappropriate comments about Diana? Probably. The real Charlie...I can't call her Lola...that's just a silly name...is even worse than the fake Charlie. Also, was Rufus cut off? I got the impression Ivy maxed out his card.
TRE April 16, 2012 at 9:47 PM
I figured he was cut off because Lily was all mad: "Why MMMMMYYYYY money?!" Cause remember, Rufus was poor.
Who is The Worst this month?

Game Days & Events
North Sound Brewing Tailgate Party
2012 Hawk Alley Thanksgiving
9/16/12: Seahawks v Cowboys
Seahawks News Feed
Anchorman Preview - Week 1
So, I thought we'd blatantly borrow an idea from Bill Simmons and preview this week's game through quotes from Anchorman:
"I miss your scent....I miss your musk"...Pretty much sums up how I feel about football. And we've already got an apartment together.
"This place is run by a bunch of children"....How else do you explain the continued revolving door down at the VMAC? If there's one thing that you needed this year it's some semblance of continuity. With the shortened training camp, wouldn't it be better if you went into the first game with at least a few people being aware of your playbook?
"There are literally thousands of other men I should be with but I'm 72 percent sure I love you"....no better quote to explain Pete Carroll and Tarvaris Jackson.
"I will smash your face into a car windshield..." Wouldn't be surprised if that's said by either coach on the sidelines this week. Pete and Jim have a bit of history from their days in the Pac-10. If they were coaching teams with better talent, one might be tempted to run up the score again on the other, but since it's the Niners and Hawks, I don't see that happening this week.
"I love lamp. Do you really love the lamp or are you just saying it because you saw it? I love lamp. I love lamp". Hate to say it, but you get the feeling that sometimes that's how personnel decisions are made over there in Renton.
"I'm in a glass case of emotion!" You know Alex Smith is feeling this knowing this is probably his last shot at starting in this league.
"The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show". Not sure if Ed Hochuli is the referee for the game, but if he is, this fits perfectly.
"They've done studies you know. 60% of the time, it works every time". Yesterday on ESPN. com, they had the Madden simulator predict each of this weekend's game. Their expectation for the Hawks and Niners? Seahawks 16, 49ers 14. They're predicting 2 Alex Smith interceptions and that sounds about right to me. Few, if any, give the Hawks a chance to win this game, but I must have missed the memo that the Forty-Whiners are somehow this unstoppable juggernaut.
Thanks to our Donors!
The goal of Hawk Strong Tailgate is more than having fun on game days, it's about raising support for and directly engaging local community groups. The fine businesses below donate money, time and supplies to help make this happen.

All/CineMag IV/Data Management/Phantom Flex 4K/Recording Time/Specifications/Video Output/Viewfinder/
What are the main differences between the Phantom Flex and the Phantom Flex 4K?
The most obvious difference is the pixel resolution: The original Phantom Flex (aka Flex 2K), has a 2.5K sensor and the Flex4K has a full 4K sensor. There are many other differences, which we have tried to capture here:
The Flex (2K) uses the CineMag or CineMag II non-volatile magazines. These are available in 144, 256 and 512GB sizes, and mount to the top of the camera using a pogo-pin array (also referred to as the ‘magmate’ board).
The Flex4K uses a new CineMag design, called the Phantom CineMag IV. The CineMag IV is available in 1TB and 2TB memory sizes. They mount in the side camera enclosure of the Flex4K, and are not compatible with the earlier cameras.
In both cases, Raw Cine files are transferred from RAM (or recorded directly) at speeds over 800 Mpx/second. The Flex4K will also support compressed recording to the CineMag IV in early 2014.
The Flex (2K) has a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1600 on a super 35mm CMOS sensor. The pixel size is 10 microns. The Flex4K is also super-35mm but with a full resolution of 4096 x 2304 and with 6.75 micron pixels.
The dynamic range is higher, and the overall noise level of the Flex4K is significantly lower than the Flex (2K).
The base sensitivity of the Flex4K is ISO 250T, and the exposure index can extend the image up to over 1000 (ISO equivalent) without significant loss of image quality. The Flex (2K) has a base sensitivity of ISO 1000T, but we don’t recommend pushing the exposure index on that camera in order to maintain the optimum image quality.
Another difference is that the Flex4K has a progressive scan shutter (with less than 1ms scan time), and the Flex (2K) has a global shutter.
Regarding color processing, the Flex4K operates from the newer Phantom protocol, which lets you set the white balance in degrees Kelvin as opposed to RGB gains like previous Phantom cameras. Powerful image processing controls like tone curves and color matrix are also possible with the Flex4K.
On-camera controls
The Flex (2K) has basic controls on the left side of the camera. The camera needs to be connected to a viewfinder or monitor to see the menu and settings change.
The Flex4K has similar controls on the left side, but on the right side there is a new full menu system that lets you control every setup and control parameter of the camera, including user settable buttons that let you adjust your favorite settings quickly. This full menu is displayed on a built-in LCD menu.
Power & battery control
The Flex (2K) has two 24-volt power inputs. One can be used as the main AC power (220 watt power supply), and the other can be connected to a stand battery to use as a battery backup. OR, power the camera with a stand battery (like the Anton Bauer VCLX series)
The Flex4K has one 24-volt power input, and the option for one built-in battery back to accommodate either 24v Hawk Woods batteries or 2x 12V Anton Bauer batteries. More info about the battery types and specs are coming soon.
The Flex (2K) has two 1.5G HD-SDI outputs and one component video signal, and they all output an identical scaled 1080p or 720p output. The two outputs can work together to provide a 4:4:4 1080p signal.
Each of the Flex4K’s 4x main HDSDI outputs can switch between 3G and 1.5G, and two of them can be used together for a dual-link 4K signal. The camera can be set to continuously monitor the live feed where 2 of the outputs play back what was captured to camera RAM or the CineMag IV. Also, the Monitor/VF and Record outputs can be independently switched between Rec709 and 2x pre-defined Log modes.
Tell me more about the Phanotm Viewfinder
The new viewfinder offered by Vision Research has a full HD OLED screen. The viewfinder is manufactured by Astrodesign, however the version that we sell is custom to Phantom cameras as it incorporates the ancillary data from the camera to switch on and off various display features, like production areas, zoom controls, and text overlays. The viewfinder connects with HDSDI and is powered from the camera. The viewfinder comes with the cables needed and also includes a mounting bracket for the Flex4K.
What formats are saved on the CineMag IV? Does the camera do any compression?
At the time of introduction and first shipments the Flex4K will only save Cine Raw files to the Phantom CineMag IV. Vision Research has announced plans to offer the option for in-camera compression into the Phantom CineMag IV. This will be available early 2014.
How do you get the files off the CineMag IV?
Files in the CineMag IV can be downloaded through the Flex4K camera body or through the Phantom CineStation IV. The camera has 1Gb Ethernet only, where the CineStation IV offers both 1Gb Ethernet and 10Gb Ethernet connections.
The files can be downloaded using windows-based Phantom PCC software or with Mac-based Glue Tools Séance software. One license of Séance comes with the camera purchase, and is otherwise available for sale at www.gluetools.com
What are the Phantom Flex 4Ks Video Output options?
The camera has three main 3G HD-SDI outputs at the back, one additional 3G HD-SDI output and one component video output at the front for viewfinders, and one 3G HD-SDI return. The camera supports:
4:2:2 1.5G 1080p/psf at 23.9, 24, 25, 29.9 Hz; 720p at 50, 59.9 Hz
4:2:2 3G 1080p 50 and 59.9 Hz
4:4:4 3G 1080p/psf at 23.9, 24, 25, 29.9 Hz; 720p at 50, 59.9 Hz
Dual-link 4:4:4 3G 2160p 23.9, 24, 25 and 29.9 signals
How long can you record for?
The record time is completely dependent on the camera’s resolution, frame rate, and the size of memory that is being recorded to. At the camera’s maximum resolution and frame rate the camera will capture 5 seconds of video to 64GB. If recording directly to a 1TB CineMag at 96 FPS you can record for about 13 minutes. At 24 FPS you can record for about 56 minutes.
What is the size and weight of the Phantom Flex 4K?
The camera body weighs in at 14 lbs (6.3kg) and the size is 11.5 x 5. x 7.9 in (LxWxH); 29.2 x 14 x 20cm. It is roughly the size of the original Flex.

FEDtalks launches annual campaign

On Sept. 17, Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver kicked off this year’s annual campaign with a new event: FEDtalks. Featuring brief TED-style talks from four speakers – the Hon. Irwin Cotler, Eli Winkelman, Dafna Lifshitz and Rabbi David Wolpe – more than 700 community members attended the event at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.

“Each speaker delivered a message that was Federation related, from the refugee and migrant crisis, to caring for those facing hunger, to leveling the playing field in Israel’s periphery, to inspiring people to connect more fully with their Jewish identity and values,” said Jewish Federation chief executive officer Ezra S. Shanken. “Their messages were our messages, and they reflected the soul of who we are as a Federation.”
Cotler addressed issues important to the Vancouver Jewish community – and, indeed, to the world – with particular emphasis on Syria and the refugee and migrant crisis. As a well-respected parliamentarian and human rights lawyer, he brought depth and breadth of knowledge on the crisis.
Winkelman shared her story of turning the simple act of baking challah into acts of social justice by founding Challah for Hunger, which now has 90 chapters on college campuses in three countries. Her work was recognized by President Bill Clinton, who highlighted Challah for Hunger in his book Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World.
Lifshitz, CEO of Appleseeds Academy, addressed her organization’s work bridging the digital divide in Israel’s periphery and, in particular, the [email protected] program that is supported by Jewish Federation. Through [email protected], at-risk youth in our partnership region of the Upper Galilee receive specialized computer training that catapults them into highly-skilled, well-paying jobs, thus helping break the cycle of poverty.
Wolpe, who was named the most influential rabbi in America by Newsweek magazine, also addressed the refugee and migrant crisis, but from a Jewish perspective. He closed the evening with an inspirational message that united the community through the shared values of chesed, tzedaka and tikkun olam.
The Vancouver Jewish community’s central fundraising initiative, the annual campaign supports critical social services, Jewish education, seniors programs and young adults programs, and fosters ties with our partnership region in Israel.

Equalizing access to tech
Dafna Lifshitz, CEO of Appleseed Academies, is part of the FEDtalks lineup on Sept. 17. (photo from Dafna Lifshitz)
Israel is known as the “startup nation,” the incubator for much of the world’s most advanced technological, medical, scientific, cultural and other innovative advancements. But Dafna Lifshitz saw a different Israel that doesn’t fit that mold – and she set out to fix the problem.
Lifshitz is one of four speakers at FEDtalks, a series of short, intense speeches on diverse topics that will launch the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver’s annual campaign on Sept. 17 at Queen Elizabeth Theatre.
“In the past decade, Israel has reached incredible heights with the growth of our high-tech industry,” Lifshitz told the Independent in an email interview. “We are a world leader in R&D spending, per capita [venture capital] investment and multinational R&D centres.”
But this activity has been concentrated in the centre of the country, remains in the hands of the privileged few and is creating “a dangerous digital divide between the centre and the periphery,” she said. To leverage Israel’s success to even greater levels, access to relevant technological education must be made more widely available.
“Technology education is a tool to make Israel stronger, more vibrant and more equitable,” she explained. “First, from an economic perspective, future economic growth in Israel is all technology-based. To participate in the workforce and gain access to the best opportunities, everyone in Israel must be able to work online, write code and build technology solutions. Second, from a quality-of-life perspective, we know that those who have access to technology and use it effectively will receive better health care, financial services, and much more. Finally, communities who use technology tools to interact with each other and their leaders are stronger and more vibrant.”
People in disadvantaged communities, including those in Israel’s geographic periphery, suffer from lack of access to technology and opportunities in the tech sector, Lifshitz said. “Our challenge is to turn Israel from the startup nation of the few to the startup nation for all.”
And this will be the topic of her FEDtalk – “building a biotech hub in northern Israel.”
As CEO of Appleseed Academies since 2002, Lifshitz has helped a million people in Israel and the developing world access technological education programs through the nonprofit organization.
In Israel, the agency works especially with women, ultra-Orthodox Jews, youth-at-risk, new olim and members of minority communities. Appleseed Academies has 350 centres across Israel. Lifshitz has been dubbed one of Israel’s 100 most influential people by Haaretz and was awarded the Prime Minister’s Prize for Initiatives and Innovation in 2014.
The success of the program in Israel led Appleseed to expand its work to 93 locations in eight African countries through a partnership with Cisco and the Clinton Global Initiative.
“We have managed to build and learn so much in Israel and, from my perspective, if we can share our model with new partners in the developing world, it’s our responsibility to do so,” Lifshitz said. “As importantly, we learn so much from working with cultures different from our own – when I watch how entrepreneurs in Zimbabwe or South Africa work with our models, I’m filled with new inspiration for driving our mission back at home.”
Appleseed Academies partners with the biggest, most successful tech companies in Israel, including Cisco, Intel, Microsoft, Google and Bezeq, as well as with government agencies, municipalities and philanthropists.
“We have learned that when disadvantaged communities prosper, our whole society prospers,” she said.
Her own story undergirds the success of Appleseed Academies.
“It probably started with my choice to transition from a religious to a secular lifestyle, along with my decision to study law and start a law firm with a neighborhood friend,” she said. “As a result of my journey, I realized that I can lead change not just on a personal level, but on a broader scale, as well. As one of my close mentors, Cisco VP Zika Abzuk, and Spiderman like to say: with power comes responsibility. I know I can lead change, and simply cannot ignore that responsibility to do so.”

Magical Musandam
By Kaye Holland | Category: Travel destinations
Escape Oman’s capital and revel in the natural wonders of the Musandam Peninsula – famed for its fjords
While there is no denying Muscat’s many charms, there’s so much more to Oman than merely Muscat; to judge a country on its capital is the equivalent of saying that you’re intimately acquainted with the US because you’ve had a Big Mac.
No matter how short your stay is in Oman, the Musandam Peninsula – blessed as it is with some of the Sultanate’s most sublime landscapes – repays a visit. Rooted in history and heritage, life in the Peninsula moves at a more sedate pace than Muscat and Western influences are minimal. The area boasts an embarrassment of riches – think breathtaking fjords, craggy mountains, small fishing villages and crystal clear waters – all of which combine to make Musandam a slice of Arabian paradise.
Yet the region is often overlooked by many visitors to the Sultanate and understandably so. Separated from the rest of the country by the UAE’s east coast, Musandam is closer to bling bedecked Dubai than the Omani capital, and therefore not the easiest destination to reach. But word is getting out about the ‘Norway of Arabia’ and more and more people are making the journey. Our advice therefore is to go now and enjoy this gem of an enclave before over development hits and mass tourism swamps the village like atmosphere.
Making the most of Musandam
As a first port of call in the Peninsula, the charming fishing village of Dibba is as good as any. Dibba (or Daba as the Omanis call it) is famous in Islamic history as the site of one of the great battles of the Ridda War. Adventures abound and can include exploring ancient burial grounds (the Queen of Sheba was reportedly buried here), mountain biking, kayaking and trekking into isolated villages. CD Traveller can vouch for Absolute Adventure’s Aqaba Lima trek which departs Dibba and leads up to ancient Bedouin villages – a million miles away from modernity. It’s not easy; in parts it’s a steep, sweaty struggle up steps carved into rocks and slippery paths made of sand and rubble passing abandoned homesteads, graveyards and mosques until you reach the top where the land flattens out. Persevere however; it’s well worth the effort as the views from the top are simply stunning, providing a unique aerial perspective of the rugged, limestone cliffs before you descend down the other side to the town of Lima. Here you can rest for a while with errant, grazing goats over lunch in Lima’s lush date plantation before catching the boat – passing deserted caves, coves and cliff faces – back to the Absolute Adventure centre in Dibba.
A more idle option is to head to Dibba Bayah harbour where you can watch the fishermen’s boats bob up and down. But of course if you prefer a traditional sand, sea and sun holiday, then there’s deserted beaches to laze on, azure Arabian waters to float in and when you’re ready for action, the underwater kingdom to explore; Musandam is believed to offer some of the best diving in the world and anyone wanting to take the plunge will be rewarded with a rainbow of colourful sea life.
From Dibba, make an unforgettable day trip by boat to nearby Zighy village which has the relaxed tempo of another era. Zighy is also home to the luxurious Six Senses Hideaway which is putting Musandam on the map. The resort was conceived by the eco conscious Eva and Sonu Shivdasni who have a philosophy of designing buildings that reflect the cultural heritage of their surroundings. Thus villas are unmistakably Arabic owing to details like white washed walls, stone floors and wooden chess sets – making it a great retreat for travellers who value authenticity.
th century (and recently restored in 1990), the fort guarded Bukha town and harbour against attack from the sea for many years. Prisoners used to be pegged to the lower courtyard and drowned by the incoming tide. Nearby lies another old Fort, Al Qala’a, although it’s arguably only for history buffs as with the exception of the remains of one watchtower, there’s very little to see. Suffering from fort fatigue? Beyond Bukha, lies the village of Tawi; the main draw here are prehistoric rock carvings of animals, boats and warriors. If you’re after something more active, head inland by 4×4 to Jebel Harim, Musandam’s highest peak at just under 7,000 ft. Scaling a mountain is an exhilarating experience; another is to watch the sun sink slowly behind the mountains in the evening while planning your return. There’s something slightly magical about Musandam and as Arabian experiences go, this is as authentic as it gets.
Best beds
Up until recently, accommodation options have been few and far between with the Golden Tulip Khasab being the main draw. It’s a fine four-star hotel, but certainly no lap of luxury. Likewise the Tulip’s tariffs are hardly tailored to meet the demands of the budget conscious. Fortunately the arrival of two new properties straddling both ends of the price spectrum has helped redress the balance somewhat, meaning that regardless of whether you’ve run out of rials or have oodles of cash to splash, there are now an accommodation options that match your bank balance but will exceed your expectations.
Absolute Adventures
For those who don’t boast the budget of a footballer’s wife, Absolute Adventures’ blissfully affordable beachfront fortress in Dibba is your best bet. British company founder Paul Oliver bought the local stone built bungalow four years ago having seen the site from the road and fallen in love with the property. Accommodation is dormitory style (14 bunk beds although there is one double room), but is clean, comfortable and close to the beach. The grounds boast a number of features including a covered majlis that lends itself well to evening shisha sessions, a waterfall, swaying hammock, cluster of almond, fig and lemon trees, and a towering sea facing barasti hut that makes a sizzling hot sundowner spot. The cosy and welcoming atmosphere is boosted by helpful staff – from the man in charge to the five- star chef who produces freshly prepared, hearty homemade meals.

Six Senses Hideway Zighy Bay
Musandam has never been known for its high thread count offerings, but it’s tout change on the peninsula and when it comes to top notch accommodation, Zighy Bay can’t be beaten. Arriving at this new resort takes some doing and is far from an understated affair. Guests can arrive by a 4X4 following a dramatic drive along rough, cliff hugging roads or in style by speed boat which affords spectacular views across the Strait of Hormuz. If however your idea of adventure involves a serious adrenaline rush, paraglide in with the Hideaway’s professional paraglider.
The property itself oozes elegant sophistication. From the outside the stone villas look like simple mountain dwellings, but inside each abode boasts vast beds and beautiful bathrooms (the power of the rain shower would delight any diva) while you barely have to walk two steps out of the sliding door to your own infinity pool. Those that prefer to be pampered can indulge in a treatment or two at the Six Senses spa. Nightlife revolves around restaurants – there’s an excellent menu in place at the resort’s Dining on the Sands restaurant and the exquisite food is as good as you’ll find in Muscat.

'Dumbo' is almost sweet - Ashley B's Review
Read Ashley B's review of Dumbo. From Disney and visionary director Tim Burton, the all-new grand live-action adventure “Dumbo” expands on the beloved classic story where differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams take flight. Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland. Dumbo soars to new heights alongside a charming and spectacular aerial artist, Colette Marchant (Eva Green), until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.
Dumbo is in theaters on March 29th, 2019.
Dumbo is the 2019 remake of the 1941 animated Disney classic. It is part of the studio’s live action series so it has some big shoes to fill, even more so because it is one of Disney’s darker movies. Can Dumbo live up to his live action expectation?
From all of the remakes announced so far, I was the most surprised to see Dumbo in the line up. The plot is quite dark although fitting for the time period. Who better to have direct this version than director Tim Burton? He did an excellent job at putting a modern twist on the original story while still keeping it in the same dark time period. That in addition to the vivid videos turned Dumbo from an okay movie to something worth watching again and again.
The cast added an extra element of interest to the movie as well. Instead of solely focusing on the animals, there were humans as part of the focus too in this version. Several members of the cast are well known which adds to the “big top” feel of the movie. Although Dumbo is family friendly and full of fantasy, it is worth mentioning that there are still many of those darker tones and imagery (including clowns) which may not be idea for very young children.
Tim Burton turned Dumbo into a movie that is fitting for both the early 1900s while also keeping the interest of viewers in 2019. He turned something very bitter into something almost sweet while still keeping that bitterness of the original. It is worth checking out if you are into top notch visuals with a sweeping sense of enchantment.

Sebastian Moreno says:
The Fly II looking back, it’s okay. It’s the third act that’s worth watching from the creature effects stuff to the gore. Like the elevator scene which was actually thought up on the spot when I think they filmed at some factory, director Chris Walas (who did the creature effects on the first film) noticed the elevator and wanted to use it. Which is why you have that sweet, gory moment of a dude getting his head crushed by an elevator. All. On. Screen. But Cronenberb did The Fly better.
But incidentally, the character of Veronica from the first film, that was not Geena Davis. They found voice actress Saffron Henderson who looked like her. Killing off the character was a bad move though. But funny enough, you three are seeing her again in a couple of months. Henderson played the rocker girl killed by Jason in Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan.
Who’s Harry Crumb was alright. It has the bonus of having Shawnee Smith from the Saw movies and The Blob remake as fun trivia.
My Favorite Martian I saw in theaters believe it or not. Not very good looking back. Christopher Lloyd couldn’t save it. Liked it as a kid, not so much now. Surprisingly given Sherri Stoner wrote it.
But Blast from the Past, you’ll be seeing Brendan Fraser and that movie’s director again very soon in a couple of months with Dudley Do-Right. Which I did see. You’ll know my thoughts on it when you get to it.
The Friday the 13th remake I watched alongside Coraline. I enjoyed it. I got exactly what I wanted out of it. Back to basics stuff with Jason hacking up teenagers, plenty of gore, inventive kills, so forth.
It had some inventive things like Jason being a bit smarter like luring people into weed patches and utilizing archery, Jason even looked really cool.
Don’t see why fans hate it. It delivered exactly what they love. I question Chris, Sarah and Diana however saying there’s no place for Jason in the modern day.
My rebuttal is this; Halloween 2018. That movie made so much bank that clearly, people still have a taste for the old slasher movie franchises. If Michael can survive 2018, why not Jason? Plus, I advocate The Soska sisters to direct. They’re the ones who made American Mary, See No Evil 2 and that upcoming remake of David Cronenberg’s Rabid.
Plus, I just want new Jason Voorhees material. Watching the old stuff is great but give me new material. I don’t want to see Jason end, yo! I want to see him hack up more teens and I’m usually a guy who expresses empathy.
But LeBron James producing a new Friday the 13th film, I’m sold and it’s not weird when you think about it. He has word Jason costumes for Halloween. Just look at his Instagram. And once it gets off the ground, I will forever be grateful by going to any of his games.
There was one new Friday the 13th film almost made though. After years of development hell like a rejected found footage film by David Bruckner, there was a new film to be directed by Breck Eisner who made The Crazies remake and was written by the guy who wrote Prisoners. They were set to start filming in March of 2017 but Paramount pulled the plug because of Rings flopping at the box office.
Um, pretty stupid to take out your disappointment out on Jason. Now The Ring, THAT’S a franchise you should call irrelevant, not Friday the 13th. Because people remember Jason, people love Jason. Who remembers Samara Morgan?
But as a result, Jason is back at WB/New Line Cinema and with LeBron James.
One more thing, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake did do well technically just to give you a slight correction.
verygooster says:
Unfortunately Chris the 2005 “director’s cut” of The Warriors with the dumb comic book filter and Greek myth intro is only current release available even on Blu-ray. Interestingly the original ‘79 version still gets aired on cable.
Also man I’m such a sucker for Blast from the Past.
I think the original cut I saw on Netflix.
Joseph Finn says:
Thank you for highlighting that Frasier episode, Three Valentines, because this is some just amazing David Hyde Pierce work. HIs look when the couch catches fire is brilliant.
Samuel Moon says:
This week on 302010, they discussed the release of the Friday the 13th reboot from 2009. And they shit all over it! JK. But between this and David Rudden dissing it on Elm Street Nightmare AND as a huge F13 fan, I feel like I have to defend the movie. And I should start by saying, the film is very decisive among F13 fans. It seems like you either love it (like me) or hate it (and are wrong).
First of all, the opening prologue is the best Friday the 13th short film ever made. I remember seeing it in theaters on Friday the 13th of February 2009 and being blown away when the title card hit 25 minutes in!
As for the rest of the movie, it is filled with easter eggs and nods to the franchise and feels more like a remake of the first 4 films than any one movie. The cast of characters are pretty bland and they are mostly stereotypes. But isn’t that what all the characters in Friday the 13th movies are?
But my favorite things about the movie are Jason and the kills. Jason is an awkward, stupid hillbilly like he was in Parts 2 & 3. And he isn’t slow lumbering zombie like in Parts 6 and beyond. He is fast, precise and scary. He will sprint right at you with his machete held high. He’s also smart. He sets traps. He uses people as bait. Remake Jason is the scariest Jason by far. And he gets some wicked kills. The sleeping bag kill from the prologue is one of the least gory, but most memorable kills in the entire franchise.
Is Friday the 13th (2009) the best F13 movie? No. That would be 4 or 6. But it is definitely a good time.
I think we’re both going to be highlighted in a comments show given my defense of the film as well.
jrralls says:
I’d put it in the top three list.
lasertimerules says:
agree with all you said about the remake.
so what are ya’ll thoughts on the nightmare remake? I didn’t think it was as good as Friday’s but it wasn’t terrible. The biggest crimes of the nightmare remake were it’s bland actors, literally being too dark (the least they could’ve done is put more light in 90% of the scenes), and it was just plain boring. The CGI version of the classic wall scene was terrible, and probably the worst scene in the entire movie. I liked the angle they sort of played that Freddy might’ve been innocent and they should’ve played that up more until the last half of the film. JEH was a decent freddy, but the more “Realistic” burn look was pretty garbage
1130spoopmeister says:
It’s your AYAOTD buff, back again. This week, on February 13th, the episode ‘The Tale of the Misfortune Cookie’ aired. This episode is incredibly forgettable. if I had to compare it to anything, it’s a wonderful life, with a chinese family instead. I’d say forget this one and just wait for next week…
WatershipDownSyndrome says:
So, here’s the deal. I think I’m the same age as Diana, so I remember all of this stuff. The 80s segments are mostly nostalgia trips. I remember a lot of it, but not the specifics. Sure, I watched all these movies on repeat because of HBO, and you had no choice but to listen to the music, but the day to day minutia is largely just a blur to me know.
On the other end, the 2000s segments are strange, because it doesn’t feel like that long ago. When you tell me something like Taken is now ten years old, I’m like “Really> WTF?”
But the 90s? Oh, man. The 90s segments are really tripping me. One one hand, it does really feel like a lifetime ago, but on the other hand, I have such specific, detailed memories that at times it feels like it could be just yesterday. I was going to college, but still living at home, so I had no real responsibilities yet. I was working at the movie theater with my friends. I was staying up late with no consequences, either playing video games on the Sega Saturn, watching movies on VHS or HBO, or reading magazines, which I did A LOT of during that time. And because of my movie theater job, I could see any movie for free, so I pretty much did. I’ll say from about 1997 to 2001, I saw more movies in theaters than at any point in my life, averaging two, sometimes three movies a week. It didn’t really matter what; I pretty much watched it all just because I could…
Case in point: Blast from the Past – there’s no fucking way I would have ever watched this movie had it not been for free. But it was, so I did. And now I have a permanent memory of Christopher Walkin’s character telling a lame duck joke that has the punchline “Put it on my bill.” Another dumb fact most won’t remember – the poster for Blast from the Past was nearly identical to the poster for Forces of Nature – a movie that I also saw for free just because I could.
I fucking lived at my local megaplexes. Knew them inside and out – which had the best sound; the big auditoriums vs the small auditoriums; who had the better fountain drinks, etc. Holy crap, I saw SO MANY movies during this time, and so, so many bad ones… but also a lot of really good ones that I also would not have caught had they not been free.
Sadly, those days are gone. I can’t get free movies except for the ones that play at my little art house. The Cinemark down the street from me has cheap tickets, but I just don’t have as much time anymore. That’s one of the reasons I find myself so nostalgic for the 90s segments – I was both a fully formed, mostly mature adult, yet my like was free from worry and responsibilities… I never thought I’d say it, but I kinda miss the 90s.
There was a dumpy lil video store in the town I grew up in that my mom and I would pass by until 2000 when we left town. They always had the same movie poster of the Whoopi movie, “Eddie”.
BABYCAKES. I saw that movie on Lifetime when I was in middle school and it was too much for me since I was a fat chick already. Wasn’t there a scene where the guy she had a crush on’s girlfriend beat her up at a New Years’ party?
Blast From the Past – Despite being an utterly forgettable comedy that I never saw, and only saw the trailer for once, I’ve probably thought of this film at least once or twice a year every year for the last fifth of a century. Why? Because a few months after it came out a girl I was dating was trying to insult my lack of social skills and how old fashioned I was by saying, “You’re like that guy from that film…. Who was in some sort of vault? And he … didn’t know what was going on?” And she kept verbally stumbling as she very badly tried to explain the film. Now, the second she said “vault” I instantly remembered the trailer for Blast From the Past and totally knew what she was referring to. But as she was in the process of _insulting_ me I just gave her a bland look of incomprehension and let her get increasingly frustrated about not being able to make a point that she thought was oh so clever. We broke up soon afterward. 20 years later I only have about 3 memories of that relationship but that is one of them.
Fraser being a show about people who think they are very smart but constantly do very stupid things is a great insight! I’d never thought of it that way before but you’re totally right.
Wha-wha-whaaaaa (Is that the correct onomatopoeia for a sad trombone?) February 12, 1999 was the very last episode of Brimstone, the second best half season Fox show of all time! It wasn’t mentioned on the podcast so I guess at this point it goes into the darkness without nary a mention on 302010 so let me go to bat for this series. The basic plot is a sound one: A detective kills his wife’s murder and dies soon after. He’s a unrepentant killer at the time of his death so he ends up in Hell. However, Satan (played by John Glover!) has a little problem; Demons have escaped from Hell and he needs a mortal agent to track them down. It was a fun creature of the week show with a nice gimmick that I still have a soft spot in my heart for. As always the Devil gets the best lines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pQDRFYUCWI&t=47s
Sid Meir’s Alpha Centauri (SMAC) is widely regarded as one of the best strategy games of all time and it richly deserves that acclaim. But for me personally the game primarily exists as three separate and distinct memories: I was always a big Sid Meir fan since Civ 1, Colonization, and Civ 2, but those were all pre-internet games, whereas this was where I downloaded a *preview copy* before it came out! in the winter of 1998 that was something that I had literally never done before. The only problem was that my PC wasn’t powerful enough to handle the 1.8GHz Processor and 512MB of Ram that the game required. As a workaround one night I downloaded it onto the machines at my campus’s computer lab and played it for hours and hours. The Civ series is known for one-more-term-itisu and SMAC was even more addicting. I completely lost track of time and played until a security guard came and kicked me out of the lab at around 4:00 AM (he apparently hadn’t noticed I was there since the place “closed” at midnight). That night I was staying at my GF’s apartment while she was out of town. This was a little dicey as we were in the process of breaking up. She was the first love of my life and we had been together 2 ½ years at that point, which is an eternity for a 20 year old (and the longest I amount of time I dated anyone until I met my wife). The ongoing drama of the multiple break-up process was quite hard on me, which was one reason I was so eager to lose myself in playing a video game. When I got to her apartment, I nailed blankets to the windows to keep the place pitch dark so I could sleep as late as I wanted, a habit I continued until moving in with my wife who used her veto power and that lovely home decorating technique. Anyways, after coming back the next late afternoon to resume my saved game, I found that it was gone. Not just the save, but the entire game. The lab automatically reset their computers every morning at 6:00 AM so you couldn’t save anything to them. For the next week, I couldn’t figure out how to save my game to a floppy so I was stuck downloading the game, day after day after day and seeing how far I could on it before time ran out one way or another. This got frustrating and I was about to stop when I remembered how you could edit a .txt file on Civ to give yourself tons of gold or bronze age warriors that could defeat tanks. Wondering if the same was true in this game I began searching each of the text files until I found one where I could do the same! Soon my mighty empire swept all enemies across the board and… I ran out of stuff to do. It was just a preview copy and they didn’t give you all the features so once I used the cheats I quickly reached a dead end. I quickly grew board of this and had to wait for the full game to be released but the excitement of playing a game before it was out was so new and novel at the time that it is one of my top five most vivid gaming memories of all time. What was the first game you played a preview copy of?
It was probably not an all time first but going onto the SMAC website and being able to download a professionally written novella that explains in great detail the prologue of the series was, again, heady stuff in the winter of 1998. I ended up printing it up and reading it all in one night at my Grandma’s house over Christmas break. I was super tired the next morning and when I tried to explain that I was up all night reading a prologue novella to an unreleased video game that I had downloaded off the internet …. well let’s just say that my reputation as the geek of the family was probabily solidified at that moment. I’m not sure why this didn’t become more common, honestly. In terms of video game development costs, writers are cheap but there don’t seem to be that many novels or even novellas included as bonus features in games. Have you read any good ones?
Alpha Centauri also sticks out in many strategy gamers memory because it has probably the most interesting and lived-in lore of any strategy game. Maybe there are some modern games with a bigger wiki devoted to their lore, but SMAC exposes the lore to the player in more a natural way than has ever been done before or since in the strategy genre. As you progress through the game and unlock various technologies or events you hear quotes from the heads of the various factions. These quotes are not only interesting tid-bits in and of themselves, but they show you the leaders personality, beliefs, and worldviews in a completely organic way. Halfway through the game you not only understand the strategic reason Deidra is sending wave after wave of mind-worms at your struggling University base, but you also see the story unfold in your game as well. Even 20 years later I’m fairly sure I could get a group of SMAC addicts to have a passionate debate about which faction was “correct.” The quotes seemed so powerful to 20 year old me that two and half years later when I moved to Japan I thought they would be a perfect way to express my philosophical differences with my (new) long-distance girlfriend back in America. Before I moved 8,000 miles away we had learned that we were philosophically opposed about …. every single philosophical thing that has ever existed. Our day to day relationship was fine but as we were 23 year olds who thought we knew everything we did often end up talking about the nature of reality, what the purpose of life was, or so on and so forth. And in every single talk about stuff like that we learned that the other believed the opposite what we believed. I thought this wouldn’t matter very much when we first started dating but it totally did (incidentally my wife is more philosophically in agreement with me than any other person I’ve ever met in my life, which I don’t think is a coincidence). But we stayed together long enough for me to graduate and move away and then from 8,000 miles away I thought emailing the quotes from SMAC (a video game) that most summed up how I felt would be the perfect way to bring forth an understand about the fundamental nature of reality that would lead us to a better philosophically co-exist. Again, I was oh so wisely choosing to use video game quotes to do this. Yea…. didn’t work out and it was just one more disagreement that lead to further disagreement that lead to us both saying through gritted teeth “I understand why you think that BUT…” Looking back from the year 2019 I can laugh at my 2001-era self doing this, but even today I will unashamedly quote Commissioner Pravin Lal line of “Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.” Because I think it expresses a truth and truth is true, regardless of how silly its source.
I actually watched this remake after watching, for the first time, all 10 Jason films as part of my “An Elm street Nightmare” viewing experience and think that The most common complaint about remakes doesn’t apply here! What is anyone going to say, “Oh how could they have a remake tarnish this franchise stellar reputation and the artistic decisions of the original filmmakers?” The F13 films were trash! At times enjoyable trash, but they are trash none the less. The makers were very happy with the money the series made, and they seemed to try and have a fun enough time on set, but the studio always seemed pretty embarrassed by these films and only made so many of them because they were cheap, made money, and kids loved buying merchandise of the r-rated villain. The remake does feel rushed in that it crams multiple movies plots all together, but the original films had paper thin plots anyways so I don’t think this really subtracts anything from the remake. And I will give it props as it totally fooled me by effectively starting a new movie after killing people I thought were going to be the main stars. And by the way, camps are still totally a big thing for kids. Anyways, I think the remake is worth a watch and I’m totally looking forward to July when you cover Jason Takes a Boat. I mean, Jason Takes Vancouver. I mean, Jason Takes Manhattan. PS. I still feel sad that the F13 game, which is the single best F13 thing ever released, never had a Boat or Space expansion to it and now never will. (Wha-wha-whaaaaa ).
https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/wii-guys/n12442 99.99% of the people who owned wii made some joke like this.
Retro Game Challenge has been on my “to-play” list for ten years as I absolutely love the concept behind it. I just don’t experience video games now the way that I did when I was 10 and trying to recapture that sounds awesome. Sounds. And that’s probably why I’ve never got around to playing it. Because at the end of the day I’m not 10 and so much of what I liked as a kid was garbage. Has anyone played it recently? Does it hold up?
gojira says:
First off I gotta say I love Sarah a little more for remembering The Pretender. It’s honestly one of my favorite shows and it feels like nobody watched it other than myself.
The Fly II is worth a watch. It’s still pretty messed up and the special effects are great/gross. And Blast From the Past has a line that always sits in my mind. Dave Foley’s character is talking to Alicia Silverstone’s and says something like “He thinks I’m a gentleman and you’re a lady.” I don’t know if it was how it was delivered or what but I’ve always liked it.
House of the Dead Overkill was such a fun game. My favorite part was that with a cheap plastic gun attachment you could approximate the arcade experience. You would put the wii remote in the gun shell. And go into the settings to calibrate the pointer. And if you turned the cursor off the game would play like the lightguns in the arcade. It wasn’t quite as accurate, but landing a string of multiple headshots in a row felt so satisfying.
I have some great memories of Retro Game Challenge. I rented it to take with on a trip my girlfriend and I were going on. We were staying at a cabin (really a condo) on the north shore of Lake Superior in northern Minnesota. I tended to wake up before my girlfriend so I would play the game with just the sound of the waves lapping up on the shore. It was so serene. We also got engaged on that trip. So, wow, we’ll have gotten engaged 10 years ago when this summer rolls around!

The Most Holy Trinity – 15th June 2014
Dear Parishioners
How can we get teenagers to go to Mass, remain active in their faith and develop their commitment to Christ and the Church?
Here, I propose one effective answer: Youth 2000. Youth 2000 is a group run for and by young people. Their annual August prayer festival in Walsingham is the largest gathering of young Catholics in the country. They also run several other festivals around the country over the year. Each is a Eucharist centred weekend combining perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament with daily Mass, Confession, healing services, praise and worship, prayer sessions including the Rosary, talks from internationally-renowned Catholic speakers, discussion groups, and – no less importantly – a chance to make new friends. It has proved to be a very successful recipe for getting young people excited about Jesus and the Church’s mission.
What do young people want? What are they looking for? Love is the answer. They are searching for something all-consuming. At Youth 2000 events young people have such an intimate experience of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament that real conversions happen. They are touched by his love in a transforming way. The teachings of the Church challenge them. They come into contact with other young people who have an active and lively faith, which inspires them.
There is justified worry that the number of Catholic baptisms, marriages and ordinations have fallen significantly over recent decades. What is the problem? A crisis in vocation? Not at Youth 2000. In its 25 year history, over 100 men ordained to the Catholic priesthood testify that Youth 2000 has played an important role in the discernment of their vocation. Father Frankie is one of those. I am aware of many Catholic married couples who met through Youth 2000. My husband and I are one of those.
This works. This really helps young people to take ownership of their faith and live it. If you care about my first questions, please help! Pray for Youth 2000, invite someone you know in the 16-35 age-group to attend a Youth 2000 event, and consider whether you might have something as small as £1 a month to donate regularly to Youth 2000. Youth 2000 is addressing the spiritual poverty which Mother Teresa regarded as even more serious than material poverty, here, at home in the UK, and it needs your support.
Thank you! Terrenia Morley

Top 7 Electric Crossover SUVs w/ 250 Miles of Range
April 2, 2018 admin Leave a comment
New battery-electric vehicles that will released for the model years of 2018 and 2019 could possibly shift the attention of consumers away from Tesla. Audi, Hyundai and at least a couple new manufacturers finally matured enough to make their own all-electric cars in the crossover SUV bodies. This video can serve as a quick overview of current market situation. Some cars are already on sale in the USA, Canada, Europe, Asia and China, so we were able to add prices and final technical information about them, while some are waiting for their first public debuts (companies already confirmed their production, though). Short list of things this video presentation will teach you (information about the sourced used in making this video are in the end of the presentation; image by autoblog.com/2018/02/27/hyundai-kona-electric-suv-revealed): – Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo can finally set the company to the path of electrifying their whole lineup. The 600hp E Cross Turismo SUV will be good for urban and offroad driving thanks to rugged tires and 310 miles of range; – Jaguar I-Pace is slightly bigger than most of cars on the list. Despite this, it will still show great range and be slightly cheaper than Tesla’s SUV. – Hyundai Kona is the competitor for the domination among more affordable EV options. Hyundai are known for making cars with competitive pricing and good specifications, so Kona Electric is the first long-range option to Bolt EV. – Chevrolet Bolt EV is usually described as the uncool all-electric car. Customers, who are not chasing the hype could have the time of their lives driving this car: it has the range of over 200 miles and low price compared to most of the competition. – Nio ES8 is the cheaper alternative to Model X that was created for the Chinese market. The main selling point of this big SUV is its pricing. For the smaller amount of money, you get cars that are not less advanced than ones created by Elon Musk’s company. – Audi Etron is scheduled to start rolling out of the production lines in the second half of 2018. Consumers in Europe can already place their reservations for Audi’s first long-range SUV. – Tesla Model X: no list is complete without this product. Although everyone is chasing Elon Musk, in 99% of cases Tesla remains on top. Let’s see if anything changes for them this year.

Can You Reduce The Costs Of An E-Car?
February 3, 2018 admin Leave a comment
Even though the British government has made it clear that the future is not in fossil fuel powered vehicles, a lot of households are still debating the advantages of an electric car. Indeed, at a time where most people need to commute on average an hour to go every day, it’s easy to see how an electric car could make it difficult to maintain a healthy work/life balance. After all, who’s got time to put their car on charge for 12 to 18 hours to be able to get to the office on the next day? You can’t just top it up at the pump in a matter of minutes like you would with a diesel or an unleaded petrol engine. Additionally, there is no denying that electric vehicles have not yet addressed all the issues that environmental and legal institutions have complained about regardless fuel-powered engines. So the question remains open for now: If there a way to reduce the many costs of an e-car?
What are the hidden costs of electric cars?
Electric cars are expensive
For the time being, buying an electric car is an expensive purchase. For a start, even the best selling electric vehicle in the UK, the Nissan LEAF, costs on average £8,000 more than the best selling family favourite car, the Ford Fiesta. For a family budget, £8,000 is not the kind of expense that can be easily ignored. Besides, you need to add the running costs of maintaining an electric engine. A 1.2L petrol engine will need a refuel after roughly 300 miles, and you can expect to pay between £35 and £40. But the Nissan LEAF will need charging after 100 miles, which means that you also need to check for charging stations along your route.
But things will change
Additionally, if you’re looking for a cheap auto insurance, you’d better stick to the Ford Fiesta for now. Electric cars are indeed around £330 more expensive to insure at the moment. Admittedly, it doesn’t mean that you should ignore the option of buying an e-vehicle as you can expect that technology will improve rapidly. Along with the legal incentives, it’s likely that within the next 10 years, electric cars will become cheaper to insure compared to fossil fuel engine, as we’ll get closer to the 2040 deadline set in the UK.
There are already eco-friendly actions
There has been a lot of discussion in the recent years about the green benefits of electric vehicles. Indeed, it’s impossible to ignore the cost of production on the environment. Indeed, the lithium contained the car batteries come from environmentally destructive mines, which are linked to the creation of highly toxic chemicals that are regularly dumped back into the environment. In other words, until this process can be improved, it’s hard to think of electric vehicles are green cars. However, there are green actions that can help to improve their running costs for your wallet and the environment. Indeed, Smart Green Batteries SARL has patented charging stations using recycled oils to charge your car.
In other words, e-cars still come at a high cost in terms of environmental protection, financing, and practicality. However, there are indications that this cost can be decreased through technological progress over time.

Your “Electric” Bill…
Practicalities aside, running an electric car, it appears, is full of various expenses. But is this really true? The thing, of course, with any electric car is that you are benefiting the planet, but is this a detriment to your wallet? Let’s break down the various costs essential to keeping an electric car running, and the upfront costs that you need, as well as the other pertinent aspects.
The Cost Of The Car
The first thing to notice is that these cars cost a lot more front than a standard vehicle. As far as average cost is concerned, the best-selling electric car in the United Kingdom, the Nissan LEAF, costs roughly £8,000 more than the most popular petrol car in the country, the Ford Fiesta. But the difference is bearable in some respects. The UK government will give grants towards the cost of electric cars, up to £4,500. The cost upfront is quite a dent in your savings. You could go for the cheaper models that are exempt from road tax, but with these ones you are looking at less than £40,000. As far as the impact on the environment is concerned, it is something worth considering, and based on your finances, you might start looking for the best place to get a personal loan, so you can make this upfront payment because you will recoup the costs in other ways…
The Running Costs
The one thing that is glaringly obvious is the lack of petrol costs, and so when you are looking at an electric vehicle battery, the charge for every 100 miles is between £2 and £4. So, straight away, if you can get roughly 300 miles out of a 1.2-litre tank, which costs roughly between £35 and £40, you’ve got a major saving! The most recent Tesla model offers 335 miles as a maximum range and the Nissan LEAF needs charging after 100 miles. As far the practicalities are concerned, as long as you have charging points dotted around your destinations, there is a major saving to be had. The other factors to consider in terms of getting the most mileage out of your electric car is what time of year you drive it, as well as if you like to listen to music in your car! The more in-car functions you use, the quicker it will drain the battery. It’s worth bearing this in mind.
The Other Concern
We all need to change the battery on occasion. This does depend on the model car that you buy. A Nissan LEAF, with a 30kWh battery, is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever one you hit first. But will you look at the battery pack in the Tesla Model S, it only loses 8% of its battery life after 100,000 miles.
Overall, mathematics needs to be your strong point, and you need to calculate right now if it’s worth your expenditure. Apart from the benefits to the planet, and the value it can retain if you keep it safe, despite the government funding you can get right now, lots of people find that it’s too much of a dent in their wallet. However, petrol cars are going to be outlawed in 2040 in the United Kingdom, so it’s time to start saving!

Truckers of the World: Electric Is Coming!
Most of the focus on commercial electric vehicles has focused on cars over the past few years, but there have been huge developments in trucking, too. And if you are a truck owner or – more importantly – drive one for a living, you might be watching on with baited breath.
The dawn of electric-fueled trucks is almost upon us, according to recent reports. And it could have an enormous impact in a broad array of areas. Let’s take a look at everything we know so far, and what we might expect in the future.
Back in November of 2017, Elon Musk revealed his plans for Tesla to release a fully electric Semi truck. It can travel 500 miles with haulage of 80,000 pounds on a single charge and is semi-autonomous. It comes equipped with Enhanced Autopilot, which means the truck can effectively brake, keep lane, and automatically signal for lane departures.
Thor Trucks
However, Tesla might be beaten to the market by Thor Trucks. Their ET-One is an incredible looking vehicle that has been cobbled together with parts from lots of other tractor-trailers and has a 300-mile range carrying 80,0000 pounds of weight. And most importantly, the tech behind it proves that fossil-fuel burning trucks can be converted into electrically powered vehicles and that Thor Trucks reckon it will be ready to sell far quicker than Tesla’s version.
Truck drivers today
Is this bad news for the truck drivers of today? Possibly – and it might happen sooner than most people think. Trucking is a big opportunity for anyone with a barrier to entry to traditional jobs, and given the gig doesn’t require an education, it’s heavily unionized and, in effect, relatively well paid. If electric trucks come to the market – and are automated, as expected – where will these people look for work? And given the huge industry around trucking – from diesel truck mechanics through to logistics experts – it could have a deep impact. While truck driving isn’t the greatest job in the world, it is in demand, so what will happen wants it isn’t?
The truck drivers of tomorrow
Ultimately, the world is quite ready for full automation in cars – let alone gargantuan sized vehicles like trucks. But as soon as automation comes in, the reality is that people will get used to it fairly quickly, as long as there aren’t too many major incidents. But even so, truck drivers will lose their jobs. Take what Peloton Technology are doing as the perfect example. Their idea is to create platoons of trucks that travel in convoy, with only the first truck having a driver – all the others are controlled from one cockpit. And the effect could be huge – Goldman Sachs has estimated that automation could see 300,000 jobs going every year around the world.
That’s a lot of jobs disappearing – and a lot of people out of work. And the most surprising thing is that the technologists and policymakers behind all this work don’t seem to be considering the damage they might leave behind. Most people are all about embracing the future, of course, but truckers? They might not be so happy.

Common Tesla Model S Questions Answered
Since its release, the Tesla Model S has caused a lot of buzzes and even more debate than some of the most popular cars of the past century! No doubt this is due to its innovation, which makes it a whole different kettle of fish to the average car, which means that few of us really know too much about it.
Hopefully, we can change that by answering some of the most common Tesla Model S questions…
How Is It an Evo Car?
Many people are skeptical that the Model S could be described as an evo car, but anyone who’s driven the Model S P85+ will be able to tell you that this electric car can go from 0-60 mph in less than four seconds, which means it performs as fast as the average super saloon. It turns out you don’t need petrol or diesel for prompt torque delivery!
How Does She Handle?
Many people are curious what it feels like to drive a totally electric car – well in the case of the Tesla Model S, it feels pretty much like driving any over vehicle. If anything, it is perhaps a little smoother, and of course, it’s a lot quieter than your average vehicle.
How Often Does It Need Charging?
On average, you can expect to get 31 miles of travel from each hour of charging; So, if you’re planning to go on a long journey, you’re going to have to park up and charge for quite a while. This is perhaps the biggest downside of owning the vehicle, especially right now when places to charge are still few and far between. Once that issue is solved, the Tesla Model S will surely be one of the best vehicles out on the road.
Should I Book a Service?
Should I book a service? This is something that most car owners, not just those with a brand new electric car often ponder, but with the Tesla S, you don’t need to guess. The company say that you should have the vehicle serviced after every 12,5000 miles use or annually – it’s up to you which. Obviously, if you’re experiencing any issues sooner than that, you will need to have it checked out. It might be an amazing car, but it still needs to be looked after!
Will My Mechanic Know What to Do with It?
Another issue with the Tesla is that there are still far too few mechanics who know how to deal with what is basically a leap in the evolution of car technology. Unless your regular mechanic has been trained and certified as a Tesla mechanic, then chances are he won’t be able to help you if something goes wrong and you’ll have to look for someone who is certified, which might not be too easy depending on where you’re located.
I hope this helps you understand a little more about the pros and cons of owning a Tesla. If you’re interested though, it is probably a good idea to check out their official website for a more comprehensive guide to ownership, too.

Keeping Your Electric Car As Safe As Possible
Picture Source: https://www.ratedradardetector.org/
Owning an electric car is very different to owning a standard diesel vehicle. Obviously, you know this and that’s why you bought the car. You know that the impact it has on the environment is far lesser, for example. The differences between electric cars and traditional cars are many. Nonetheless, when it comes to the ways in which you should be looking after your electric-powered vehicle, there are some similarities and some differences when compared to a standard car. Here’s how to keep your electric car as safe as possible.
As with any car, maintenance is the key to keeping your car safe and roadworthy. And, as with any car, you need to become acquainted with the machinery at work within your vehicle so as to take care of it yourself. Even though regular check-ups are important, going to a repair shop every time there’s a problem is costly and time-consuming. Not to mention, it’s much safer and responsible to maintain your vehicle by yourself.
You need to understand the sophisticated electronics that run your car. Learn about the battery control module and how it discharges and charges the battery bank. You also need to learn about the heating and cooling systems because it’s important that these are well-maintained in order to keep your vehicle safe. Take a look at the hoses, clamps, and pipes to check the cooling system is working as it should be. As a piece of advice to make sure your battery doesn’t run into any problems, you should avoid a full charge; pushing your battery to its maximum capacity and then draining it is damaging.
Responsible driving.
If you want to keep your electric car as safe as possible then you need to be a responsible driver and that all depends on road awareness. You already have a license, so you’re qualified to drive a vehicle, but you might not necessarily be the most observant driver possible. Passing your driving test is one thing but you need to maintain that focus and concentration every time you get behind the wheel of a car. You might want to look into a mirror reversing camera kit because it’s so important to have complete vision of the road as a driver. And, sometimes, your rear view mirrors won’t suffice; blind spots are bad enough but other vehicles and things in the road can obscure your vision too. It’s a good idea to have as many backup options in place as possible and a camera can certainly help.
Continuing on from the point above, you need to be aware of the road in order to be a responsible driver but you also need to react to the road appropriately. Defensive driving is the best way to avoid accidents on the road. If you see a reckless driver then reacting aggressively to the situation and losing concentration could make you a danger to the road too. Additionally, driving defensively and cautiously means that you shouldn’t speed or brake hard; put your electric car under too much strain and it’ll wear out more quickly. You need to look after your vehicle in the way you would with any car.

Another Wordsketch by John E WordSlinger for the School of Poetry, Thought Casters Class. American History Past and Present
I would like to thank you for your visit.
I have removed these poems for a distant future book publication.
I believe we poets, can make a difference
in this world. We live in the 21st century,
we have tools( technology), we have our past, and imagination.
We just don't have the courage, because
I guess most are afraid to fail, to loose money.
All I have to say is we can't take money with us,
when we die. I also say hasn't mankind failed enough,
and isn't mankind worth the effort, our children is worth the effort..
Thank you, and my your God Bless you

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

Tenby strongman Lloyd Davies is guaranteed a massive lift in USA
Lloyd Davies is relishing the prospect of competing in the invitational only Arnold Sports Festival which will be held in Columbus, Ohio, USA this weekend March 7 and 8.
The Tenby man and former Greenhill pupil who is registered blind has featured in several disability strongman events in the UK where he has placed well, Lloyd was thrilled when he received his exclusive invitation to compete in the Arnold Sports Festival which was set up by the world famous Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Excited Lloyd will compete in the Arnold Disability Strongman competition. The 26-year-old regularly trains hard in the Dungeon Gym, Tenby, and in preparation for his USA trip he has been putting in plenty of extra sessions.
“I can’t wait to compete now,” said Lloyd. “This is a massive opportunity for me to pitch myself against the best on the biggest stage.
There will be a huge crowd and for me this is the pinnacle.”
Joining Lloyd on the trip will be his good friend and trainer Loui Fecci who will act as his eyes during the competition.
“When I compete in the Yoke Run (carrying a heavy mettle bar on his back) I have to run and rely on Loui guiding me.”
In his younger days Lloyd enjoyed playing rugby, but when his eyesight deteriorated in 2014 due an inherited vision loss condition known as LHON (leber hereditary optic neuropathy) he sadly had to stop playing.
So that’s when he started to enjoy weight training and using the Dungeon Gym which he described as “Old School” place to work out as a hobby.
But when the 19 stone strong man attended a seminar held by the then World Strongest Man Eddie Hall, he left feeling inspired to push himself and start competing.
At that same seminar he also met Tony Butcher, of Essex, a disabled strongman competitor who gave some good advice and encouraged him to get involved in the sport.
He has competed in numerous strongman events in England and Pembrokeshire. And after competing in USA next month he has already lined up further competitions in UK in May, Iceland in June, and back to USA in July to take part in the Static Monsters.
Lloyd is grateful to Gofer Jones, general manager of Tenby Tourers and owner Ryan Ennis, who are proud to be Lloyd’s main sponsor which has allowed him to follow his dream in strongman events up and down the country. He would also like to thank The Cove Restaurant for their support and to local company JPI Apparel who have kindly supplied him with all his gym wear.
“I’ve known Lloyd for 12 years and seen what he has achieved,” said Gofer Jones. “I think he will do Pembrokeshire proud and hopefully inspire lots of other people with any disability that if you want something bad enough then it’s achievable.”
Anyone interested in following Lloyd’s progress during the competition in Columbus, Ohio, can visit his Instagram account on @blindlloydstrongman.

The Corona Diaries: Benjamin Purkiss
Benjamin Purkiss recently appeared as the title role in Zorro at the Hope Mill Theatre in Manchester. His other credits include Young Gibran in Broken Wings (The Other Palace & Katara Opera House); Macheath in The Beggars Opera (Bouffes du Nord theatre & European Tour); Alternate Strat in Bat Out of Hell (Manchester Opera House & London Coliseum) and Woolhaven & Ensemble in Allegro (Southwark Playhouse).
I was staying in Manchester on my day off just after our second preview of Zorro. To be honest, I initially didn’t think it would affect us very quickly, I still had friends and family talking to me about coming to see the show, I honestly thought we had at least a week or so, how wrong I was.
I’ve been keeping myself really busy. I’ve found it really useful to keep my diary full, like actually write down and structure my days (Friday night is Pizza night). It helps me to schedule my life and calm my mind in all this. But yes, been doing lots of singing and creating with my band The Songsmiths (@thesongsmithsUK) writing and filming from home, and seen lots of super cool stuff too.
I think very carefully before I click a link and read something, and even more so before sharing any information. Outside of my online life, laughing and playing board games with my housemate's help, regular catch-ups and Zoom quizzes and I go for walks and call people, bugging all my friends to keep me company in my social distance walks. Also running, it's amazing, who knew?!
I’m a big fan of all this content I’m seeing. For me it's a win-win, you get to feel creative and amazing and the world gets to see what you’re up too if they like. I know some people feel like its a lot because everyone is putting content out, but I enjoy seeing it and doing it. So tag me if you want!
I've basically been actually watching all those recommendations from friends on the never-ending ‘yeah I’ll definitely check it out’ list. I can't recommend ‘The Last Dance’ enough, its a Netflix series about the Chicago Bulls in the 90’s. The National Theatre YouTube channel is a MUST, they are releasing incredible productions once a week.
I did the most amazing thing last night, a cast I was in did a Zoom chat where everybody picked a song, then we went round and introduced our own song before we played it. We then had some drinks and danced the night away, towards the end it literally felt like we were all in a nightclub together. So surreal but also such a heartwarming and fun experience.
A hug from my nearest and dearest. And (fingers crossed) The Return of Zorro.
We'd like to thank Benjamin and all other performers who have given up their time to contribute to this feature.

Twinning and Higher Intake of Dairy Products
Authors: Daniel A. Goldstein, M.D., David F. Kowalczyk, V.M.D., Ph.D., John L. Vicini, Ph.D., Fran C. Buonomo, Ph.D., and Donna R. Farmer, Ph.D.
We have read with interest the paper by Dr. Steinman1 suggesting that an increase in twinning is associated with higher intake of dairy products, perhaps as a result of increased levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in milk following the introduction of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) to enhance milk production. It does not appear that a dose-response analysis for IGF-1 was performed. When such an analysis is considered, we believe that any effect of milk on circulating IGF-1 is clearly negligible and that the rbST hypothesis is highly unlikely.
The impact of milk consumption on circulating IGF-1 levels in women is believed to be negligible based upon the poor absorption of this protein from the gastrointestinal tract and upon confirmatory animal studies.2 Storm et al3 demonstrated that four 8-oz glasses of milk daily for 2 years produced no alteration in circulating IGF-1 levels in adult women.
Keywords: insulin like growth factor-1, twinning, bovine somatotropin

Address to the International W..., by Emma Goldman
This article appears courtesy of Emma Goldman Papers, Manuscripts and Archives Division, The New York Public Library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foundations Address to the International Working Men's Association Congress by Emma Goldman Life imposes strange situations on all of us. For forty-eight years I was considered an extremist in our ranks. One who refused to compromise our ideas or tactics for any purpose whatsoever--one who always insisted that the Anarchist aim and methods must harmonize, or the aim would never be achieved. Yet here I am trying to explain the action of our Spanish comrades to the European opponents, and the criticism of the latter to the comrades of the CNT-FAI. In other words, after a lifetime of an extreme left posi... (From : Anarchy Archives.)

Anarchists in Israel, by Sam Dolgoff
Note: This article, from the book "Fragments: a memoir", by Sam Dolgoff (Refract Publications, 1986) recounts a trip to Israel by Sam and his wife Esther, to meet the anarchists there. In the mid-1970s Esther and I embarked on a two-week tour of Israel, not merely to see the sights, but to contact our anarchist comrades publishing their organ Problemen. We also wanted to contact Israeli settlers whom we already knew at home. We felt that the trip was all the more necessary because altogether too many comrades did not even know that there were a few anarchist groups in Israel, much less an anarchist publication there. We immediately contacted the editor of Problemen, Joseph Ludin, a prolific writer, himself an anarchist refugee from Poland. ... (From : Flag.Blackened.net.)

Anarchists In The Spanish Revo..., by Sam Dolgoff
CONTROVERSY: ANARCHISTS IN THE SPANISH REVOLUTION by Sam Dolgoff In 1974, or early 1975, I reviewed in the English anarchist paper Freedom a book by Carlos Semprun Maura, Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Catalonia (French edition). In my review I criticized both Semprun Maura and Vernon Richards' book Lessons of the Spanish Revolution for presenting a distorted, over-simplified interpretation of events- a scenario. This provoked a heated rejoinder from Richards (three or four articles in Freedom). Over forty years after the tragic defeat of the Spanish Revolution - 1936 to 1939 - the question of anarchist participation in the Republican government and the role of anarchists in a revolution is a fundamental problem still debated- still r...

This manuscript is part of the International Institute for Social History's Alexander Berkman archive and appears in Anarchy Archives with ISSH's permission. The Bolshevik Dictatorship At Work It must be left to the future historian to determine whether the Bolshevik repression of the bourgeoisie, with which they started, their rule, was not merely a means towards the ulterior purpose of suppressing all the other non-Bolshevik elements. For the Russian bourgeoisie was not really dangerous to the Revolution. As is well known, it was an insignificant minority, unorganized, without definite solidaric interests and entirely powerless. The revolutionary elements, on the contrary, were a real obstacle to the dictatorship of any political party. T... (From : Anarchy Archives.)

Collectives in Aragon, by Gaston Leval
Gaston Leval: Social Reconstruction in Spain (London 1938); quoted in Vernon Richards: Lessons of the Spanish Revolution (London 1983) The mechanism of the formation of the Aragonese collectives has been generally the same. After having overcome the local authorities when they were fascist, or having replaced them by Anti-fascist or Revolutionary committees when they were not, an assembly was summoned of all the inhabitants of the locality to decide on their line of action. One of the first steps was to gather in the crop not only in the fields of the small landowners who still remained, but, what was even more important, also on the estates of the large landowners all of whom were conservatives and rural `caciques' or chiefs. Groups were o... (From : Flag.Blackened.net.)

Collectives in Spain, by Gaston Leval
Published by Freedom Press 27 Red Lion Street, London, W.C.1 July 1945 and printed by Express Printers, London.

Durruti is Dead, Yet Living, by Emma Goldman
Published in 1936. Obtained from the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace, Stanford, California. Durruti is Dead, Yet LivingEmma Goldman, 1936 Durruti, whom I saw but a month ago, lost his life in the street-battles of Madrid. My previous knowledge of this stormy petrel of the Anarchist and revolutionary movement in Spain was merely from reading about him. On my arrival in Barcelona I learned many fascinating stories of Durruti and his column. They made me eager to go to the Aragon front, where he was the leading spirit of the brave and valiant militias, fighting against fascism. I arrived at Durruti's headquarters towards evening, completely exhausted from the long drive over a rough road. A few moments with Durruti was like a s... (From : WikiSource.)

CHAPTER IV War Clouds; The Taste of Defeat; War at Last; Internment and Discernment; Splitting the Atom; Blackpool Breezes; Prison; Division; Military Detention War Clouds Getting back to 1938, as it drew to a close I began to work at a North London hospital. It was well paid for the time -- hospitals have slid back since like everything else in local government but there was great competition for such municipal and therefore presumed secure and pensionable jobs. The nurses themselves were less well rewarded, then as now being regarded as dedicated and expected to put up with low pay and poor conditions. There was no possibility of my getting into any trouble here, since the non-medical staff was unionized but apathetic. This was a bit upsetting as I had a seeming compulsion to bash my head on brick walls. Wages were set according to national standards, and the non-nursing medical staff were only interested in their career...

Mizo National Front Rally in Various Mizoram Towns Against Price Rise
Marchers in capital Aizawl numbered between 1000 to 1200, according to police. (Source: Express photo)
Aizawl, Jan 22 : Thousands turned up Thursday to take part in the Mizo National Front’s “People’s March” in more than a dozen towns against the rise in prices of state-supplied services and commodities in Mizoram.
Marchers in capital Aizawl numbered between 1000 to 1200, according to police, as the state’s eight district headquarters and several other towns also witnessed sizeable turnouts.
The protest marches were peaceful although it disrupted traffic in various places, and MNF leaders poked jeers at the Congress government’s “financial mismanagement” that they said led to between a 50% to 300% increase in prices of various government-supplied goods and services including water supply, subsidised PDS rice and land taxes.
The rally at Aizawl culminated in leaders submitting a memorandum to Governor Aziz Qureshi.

Towards An Air Quality Standard For Tourist Caves : Studies of Carbon Dioxide Enriched Atmospheres In Gaden - Coral Cave, Wellington Caves, N.S.W., 1981, Osborne, R. Armstrong L.
Carbon dioxide enriched atmospheres are not uncommon in Australian caves and have posed a safety problem for cavers. Carbon dioxide enrichment of a tourist cave's atmosphere is a management problem which can only be approached when standards for air quality are applied. In Gaden - Coral Cave two types of carbon dioxide enrichment are recognised; enrichment by human respiration and enrichment from an external source. Standards for air quality in mines and submersible vehicles are applicable to tourist caves. A maximum allowable concentration of 0.5% carbon dioxide is recommended as the safe, but not the most desirable, air quality standard for tourist caves.
Oxidation of organic matter in a karstic hydrologic unit supplied through stream sinks (Loiret, France), 1998, Alberic P, Lepiller M,
The aim of this paper is to appraise the ability of the oxidation of riverine organic matter in the control of limestone dissolution, in a karst network. Biogeochemical processes during infiltration of river water into an alluvial aquifer have already been described for an average flow velocity of 4-5 m d(-1) (Jacobs, L. A., von Gunten, H. R., Keil, R, and Kuslys, M. (1988) Geochemical changes along a river-groundwater infiltration flow path: Glattfelden, Switzerland. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 52, 2693-2706; Von Gunten, H. R., Karametaxas, G., Krahenbuhl, U., Kuslys, M., Giovanoli R., Hoehn E. and Keil R. (1991) Seasonal biogeochemical cycles in riverborne groundwater. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 55, 3597-3609; Bourg, A. C. M. and Bertin, C. (1993) Quantitative appraisal of biogeochemical chemical processes during the infiltration of river water into an alluvial aquifer. Environ. Sci. Technol. 27, 661-666). Karstic drainage networks, such as in the River Loire-Val d'Orleans hydrologic system (Fig. 1), make possible flow velocities up to 200 m h(-1 a) and provide convenient access to different water samples several tens of km apart, at both extremities of the hydrologic unit (Chery, J.-L. (1983) Etude hydrochimique d'un aquifere karstique alimente par perte de cours d'eau (la Loire): Le systeme des calcaires de Beauce sous le val d'Orleans. These, Universite d'Orleans; Livrozet, E. (1984) Influence des apports de la Loire sur la qualite bacteriologique et chimique de l'aquifere karstique du val d'Orleans. These, Universite d'Orleans). Recharge of the karstic aquifer occurs principally from influent waters from stream sinks, either through coarse alluvial deposits or directly from outcrops of the regional limestone bedrock (Calcaires de Beauce). Recharge by seepage waters From the local catchment basin is small (Zunino, C., Bonnet, M. and Lelong, F. (1980) Le Val d'Orleans: un exemple d'aquifere a alimentation laterale. C. R. somm. Soc. Geol. Fr. 5, 195-199; Gonzalez R. (1992) Etude de l'organisation et evaluation des echanges entre la Loire moyenne et l'aquifere des calcaires de Beauce. These, Universite d'Orleans) and negligible in summer. This karstic hydrologic: system is the largest in France in terms of flow (tens to hundreds of m(3)/s) and provides the main water resource of the city of Orleans. Chemical compositions of influent waters (River Loire) and effluent waters (spring of the river Loiret) were compared, in particular during floods in summer 1992 and 1993 (Figs 2-4). Variation of chloride in the River Loire during the stream rise can be used as an environmental tracer of the underground flow (Fig. 2). Short transit times of about 3 days are detectable (Fig, 2) which are consistent with earlier estimations obtained with chemical tracers (Ref. in Chery, J.-L. (1983) These, Universite d'Orleans). Depending on the hydrological regime of the river, organic carbon discharge ranges between 3-7 and 2-13 mg/l for dissolved and particulate matter respectively (Fig. 3). Eutrophic characteristics and high algal biomasses are found in the River Loire during low water (Lair, N. and Sargos, D. (1993) A 10 year study at four sites of the middle course of the River Loire. I - Patterns of change in hydrological, physical and chemical variables in relation to algal biomass. Hudroecol. Appl. 5, 1-27) together with more organic carbon rich suspended particulate matter than during floods (30-40 C-org % dry weight versus 5-10%). Amounts of total organic carbon and dissolved oxygen (Fig. 3) dramatically decrease during the underground transport, whereas conversely, dissolved calcium, alkalinity and inorganic carbon increase (Fig. 4). Anoxia of outflows map start in April. Dissolution of calcium carbonates along the influent path outweighs closed system calcite equilibrium of inflow river waters (Table 3). The impact of organic matter oxidation on calcite dissolution may be traced by variations of alkalinity and total carbonates in water. Following, Jacobs, L. A., von Gunten, H. R., Keil, R. and Kuslys, M. (1988) Geochemical changes along a river-groundwater infiltration flow path: Glattfelden, Switzerland. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 52, 2693-2706), results are shown graphically (Fig. 5). Extent of reactions is controlled by the consumption of dissolved O-2 and nitrate for organic matter oxidation and by the release of Ca2 for calcite dissolution (Table 2). The karstic network is considered to behave like a biological reactor not exchanging with the atmosphere, with steady inhabitant microbial communities (Mariotti A., Landreau A, and Simon B. (1988) N-15 isotope biogeochemisrry and natural denitrification process in groundwater: Application to the chalk aquifer of northern France. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 52, 1869-1878; Gounot, A.-M. (1991) Ecologie microbienne des eaux ei des sediments souterrains. Hydrogeologie, 239-248). Thus, energy requirements only are considered, not carbon assimilation. Moreover, there is no necessity to invoke any delay for nitrification enhancement, as observed elsewhere, after waste water discharge into the river (Chesterikoff, A., Garban, B., Billen, G. and Poulin, M. (1992) Inorganic nitrogen dynamics in the River Seine downstream from Paris (France). Biogeochem. 17, 147-164). Main microbial processes are assumed to be aerobic respiration, nitrification and denitrification. Reactions with iron and manganese, real but not quantitatively important, were neglected. Sulphate reduction and methane formation, certainly not active, were not considered. Denitrification, which is suggested by low nitrate and ammonium concentrations and anoxia in the outflow, is known to be rapid enough to be achieved in a short time (Dupain, S. (1992) Denitrification biologique heterotrophe appliquee au traitement des eaux d'alimentation: Conditions de fonclionnement et mise au point d'un procede. These, Universite Claude Bernard, Lyon). Reaction are somewhat arbitrary but conform to general acceptance (Morel, M. M. and Hering, J. G. (1993) Principles and Applications of Aquatic Chemistry. Wiley, New York). Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Mulder A., van de Graaf, A. A., Robertson, L: A. and Kuenen, J. G. (1995) Anaerobic ammonium oxidation discovered in a denitrifying fluidized bed reactor. FEMS Microbiol. Ecol. 16, 177-184). although possible, was not considered. In fact, C/N ratio of the reactive organic matter has only mild repercussions on the results; i.e. in the same range as the analytical errors for alkalinity and total carbonates. The objective was simply to roughly confront characteristics of outflowing waters and the calculation. Respective roles of aerobes and denitrifiers, for instance, are not certain. Several periods during low water or floods were selected with various ranges for calcium dissolution or nitrate and oxygen concentrations. The result is that in most cases simulation and data are in reasonable accordance (Fig. 5). Amounts of organic matter in River Loire are generally sufficient to sustain the process (Table 3. Particulate organic matter is probably the most reactive. The balance of oxidation of organic matter indicates that about 65 mu g C-org/l.h are oxidized during the transport without much variation with the river regime or organic discharge. It is concluded that limestone dissolution is directly dependent on organic matter oxidation, but variation occurs (7-29 mg CuCO3/l) with the level of bases that can be neutralized in the River Loire water.

Carbon stable isotopic composition of karst soil CO2 in central Guizhon, China, 1999, Zheng L. P. ,
The delta(13)C values of soil CO2 are less than that of atmosphere CO2 in the karst area. On the soil-air interface, the delta(13)C vlaues of soil CO2 decrease with the increase in soil depth; below the soil-air interface, the delta(13)C values of soil CO2 are invariable. The type of vegetation on the land surface has an influence on the delta(13)C values of soil CO2. Due to the activity of soil microbes, the delta(13)C values of soil CO2 are variable dth seasonal change in grass. Isotopic tracer indicates that atmosphere CO2 has a great deal of contribution to soil CO2 at the lower parts of soil profile
Depositional Facies and Aqueous-Solid Geochemistry of Travertine-Depositing Hot Springs (Angel Terrace, Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park, U.S.A.), 2000, Fouke Bw, Farmer Jd, Des Marais Dj, Pratt L, Sturchio Nc, Burns Pc, Discipulo Mk,
Petrographic and geochemical analyses of travertine-depositing hot springs at Angel Terrace, Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park, have been used to define five depositional facies along the spring drainage system. Spring waters are expelled in the vent facies at 71 to 73{degrees}C and precipitate mounded travertine composed of aragonite needle botryoids. The apron and channel facies (43-72{degrees}C) is floored by hollow tubes composed of aragonite needle botryoids that encrust sulfide-oxidizing Aquificales bacteria. The travertine of the pond facies (30-62{degrees}C) varies in composition from aragonite needle shrubs formed at higher temperatures to ridged networks of calcite and aragonite at lower temperatures. Calcite 'ice sheets', calcified bubbles, and aggregates of aragonite needles ('fuzzy dumbbells') precipitate at the air-water interface and settle to pond floors. The proximal-slope facies (28-54{degrees}C), which forms the margins of terracette pools, is composed of arcuate aragonite needle shrubs that create small microterracettes on the steep slope face. Finally, the distal-slope facies (28-30{degrees}C) is composed of calcite spherules and calcite 'feather' crystals. Despite the presence of abundant microbial mat communities and their observed role in providing substrates for mineralization, the compositions of spring-water and travertine predominantly reflect abiotic physical and chemical processes. Vigorous CO2 degassing causes a unit increase in spring water pH, as well as Rayleigh-type covariations between the concentration of dissolved inorganic carbon and corresponding {delta}13C. Travertine {delta}13C and {delta}18O are nearly equivalent to aragonite and calcite equilibrium values calculated from spring water in the higher-temperature ([~]50-73{degrees}C) depositional facies. Conversely, travertine precipitating in the lower-temperature (<[~]50{degrees}C) depositional facies exhibits {delta}13C and {delta}18O values that are as much as 4{per thousand} less than predicted equilibrium values. This isotopic shift may record microbial respiration as well as downstream transport of travertine crystals. Despite the production of H2S and the abundance of sulfide-oxidizing microbes, preliminary {delta}34S data do not uniquely define the microbial metabolic pathways present in the spring system. This suggests that the high extent of CO2 degassing and large open-system solute reservoir in these thermal systems overwhelm biological controls on travertine crystal chemistry
Investigations of microbial origin of karst corrosion of soils depending on different temperatures, 2001, Zambo L. , Horvath G. , Telbisz T. ,
The acids accumulating in soils and controlling the solution of carbonates including the predominant CO2, mostly derive from three processes: i) root respiration of higher plants; ii) decomposition of soil organic matter by microorganisms (microbiota) and iii) other decomposition processes not associated with microbial activities. The solution effect under rendzina soils is primarily used for the dissolution of the enclosed limestone fragments and thus here the solution of bedrock is of limited scale. Below karst soils of high clay content the corrosion of bedrock is more intensive than under rendzinas. On the whole, the amount of carbonates dissolved and transported Into the depths of the karst is smaller than below rendzinas. In each soil type studied the solution caused by microbial activities manifold exceeds the rate of solution resulting from temperature factor but there is a manifest dropping trend from rendzina to clays
Application of carbon isotope for discriminating sources of soil CO2 in karst area, Guizhou, 2001, Li T. Y. , Wang S. J. ,
Using carbon isotope of soil CO2 this paper discussed the sources of soil CO2 in karst area, Guizhou Province, China. Oxidation-decomposition of organic matter, respiration of plant root and activity of microbe are thought to be the major sources of soil CO2. However, in karst area, the contribution of dissolution of underlying carbonate rock to soil CO2 should be considered as in acidic environment. Atmospheric CO2 is the major composition Of Soil CO2 in surface layer of soil profiles and its proportion in Soil CO2 decreases with increase of soil depth. CO2 produced by dissolution of carbonate rock contributes 34%-46% to soil CO2 below the depth of 10cm in the studied soil profiles covered by grass
Soil carbon dioxide in a summer-dry subalpine karst, Marble Mountains, California, USA, 2001, Davis J, Amato P, Kiefer R,
Studies of the seasonality, spatial variation and geomorphic effects of Soil CO2 concentrations in a summer-dry subalpine karst landscape in the Marble Mountains, Klamath National Forest, California, demonstrate the significance of soil moisture as a limiting factor. Modeled actual evapotranspiration (AET) in the four weeks prior to sampling explains 36% of the observed soil-CO2 concentrations, pointing to the importance of root respiration processes in these systems. Late snows are significant in controlling the timing of a snowmelt-initiated pulse of respiration and groundwater. CO2 concentrations were measured at multiple sites in two seasons - 1995 and 1997 - with contrasting patterns of snowmelt. Other than wet-meadow anomalies, where CO2 concentrations reached up to 3.8% in midsummer, alpine meadows on schist were the sites of the highest spring peak concentrations of approximately 1%. Forest sites and sites with thin soils on marble typically peaked at approximately 0.5%, also within a month of snowmelt exposure. Ongoing karstification in the upper bare karst is focused in soil-filled grikes where late-season snowmelt concentrates flow during high-respiration periods, but the lack of active speleothem development suggests that the carbonate solution system is greatly reduced from preglacial periods
Land use change and soil nutrient transformations in the Los Haitises region of the Dominican Republic, 2005, Templer P. H. , Groffman P. M. , Flecker A. S. , Power A. G. ,
We characterized soil cation, carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) transformations within a variety of land use types in the karst region of the northeastern Dominican Republic. We examined a range of soil pools and fluxes during the wet and dry seasons in undisturbed forest, regenerating forest and active agricultural sites within and directly adjacent to Los Haitises National Park. Soil moisture, soil organic matter (SOM), soil cations, leaf litter C and pH were significantly greater in regenerating forest sites than agricultural sites, while bulk density was greater in active agricultural sites. Potential denitrification, microbial biomass C and N, and microbial respiration g(-1) dry soil were significantly greater in the regenerating forest sites than in the active agricultural sites. However, net mineralization, net nitrification, microbial biomass C, and microbial respiration were all significantly greater in the agricultural sites on g(-1) SOM basis. These results suggest that land use is indirectly affecting microbial activity and C storage through its effect on SOM quality and quantity. While agriculture can significantly decrease soil fertility, it appears that the trend can begin to rapidly reverse with the abandonment of agriculture and the subsequent regeneration of forest. The regenerating forest soils were taken out of agricultural use only 5-7 years before our study and already have soil properties and processes similar to an undisturbed old forest site. Compared to undisturbed mogote forest sites, regenerating sites had smaller amounts of SOM and microbial biomass N, as well as lower rates of microbial respiration, mineralization and nitrification g(-1) SOM. Initial recovery of soil pools and processes appeared to be rapid, but additional research must be done to address the long-term rate of recovery in these forest stands. (C) 2004, Elsevier Ltd.

A conceptual model of the flow and distribution of organic carbon in caves, 2007, Simon K. S. , Pipan T. , And Culver D. C.
We present a conceptual model for the movement of organic carbon in karst. We argue that the drainage basin is the most appropriate unit for analyzing energy flux in karst. There are two main inputs in karst basins: 1) localized flow of particulate organic carbon (POC) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) through sinks and shafts and 2) diffuse flow of POC and DOC from soils and epikarst. After entry, this organic matter is processed and transported before eventual loss through respiration or export from the basin. To begin parameterizing our conceptual model, we estimated carbon fluxes for the first two inputs for two karst basins (Organ Cave in West Virginia and Postojna-Planina Cave System (PPCS) in Slovenia) that have sinking streams and many active epikarst drips. We made a series of measurements of organic carbon, especially DOC in epikarst drip water, cave streams, surface streams sinking into the cave, and at resurgences, which we combined with other published data. In both caves, most of the organic carbon entering through the epikarst was DOC, at concentrations averaging around 1 mg C L21. In both basins, sinking streams accounted for the large majority of DOC input. It is likely that considerable processing of organic carbon occurs within both caves, but more detailed measurements of organic carbon flux at both the basin and stream scale are needed.
Biospeleogenesis, 2013, Barton, H. A.
Microorganisms have shaped the world around us, yet their role in karst processes and speleogenesis remains poorly understood. Biospeleogenesis is the formation of subsurface cavities and caves through the activities of microorganisms, by either respiratory (redox) or metabolic chemistries. In carrying out energy acquisition and the metabolic processes of growth, microorganisms change the local geochemistry of the environment. Such activities can dramatically accelerate speleogenesis and even lead to cave formation in geochemical environments that would otherwise not be conducive to dissolution. The aim of this chapter is to help the reader understand the importance of microbial activity in geochemistry and how such activity can lead to the formation and morphology of caves. The chapter then describes the role that microorganisms are known to have in speleogenesis (carbonic and sulfuric acid biospeleogenesis), hints that such activity may be occurring in newly described cave systems (iron biospeleogenesis), and a potential role in other cave systems (quartzite biospeleogenesis). It is hoped that the reader will gain an understanding of what motivates microorganisms to dramatically change their environment, understand the potential geochemical conditions where such activity could occur, and allow the informed geologist to make predictive statements as to the potential of, and for, biospeleogenesis
CO2 emission response to different water conditions under simulated karst environment, 2015,
Habitat degradation has been proven to result associated with drought in karst region in south China. However, how this drought condition relates to CO2 efflux is not clear. In this study, we designed a simulated epikarst water–rock (limestone)–soil–plant columns, under varying water levels (treatment), and monitored CO2 concentration and efflux in soil in different seasons during 2011. The results showed that increased soil water greatly enhanced CO2 concentrations. With which treatment with epikarst water (WEW) had higher CO2 concentration than without epikarst water (WOEW). This was particularly high in low soil water treatment and during high temperature in the summer season. Under 30–40 % relative soil water content (RSWC), CO2 concentration in WEW treatment was 1.44 times of WOEW; however, under 90–100 % RSWC, this value was smaller. Comparatively, soil surface CO2 efflux (soil respiration) was 1.29–1.94 lmol m-2 s-1 in WEW and 1.35–2.04 lmol m-2 s-1 in WOEW treatment, respectively. CO2 efflux increased with increasing RSWC, but it was not as sensitive to epikarst water supply as CO2 concentration. WEW tended to weakly influence CO2 efflux under very dry or very wet soil condition and under low temperature. High CO2 efflux in WEW occurred under 50–80 % RSWC during summer. Both CO2 concentrations and CO2 efflux were very sensitive to temperature increase. As a result, at degraded karst environment, increased temperature may enhance CO2 concentration and CO2 emission; meanwhile, the loss of epikarst and soil water deficiency may decrease soil CO2 concentration and CO2 emission, which in turn may decrease karst corrosion.

Driven:- The Car Reviews
About Chris Haining
Realworld Rides: Vauxhall Signum 2.2i Design Irmscher
Enough has been said about the Vauxhall Vectra, a car damned by its quest to be the ultimate motoring all-rounder. GMs' Mondeo fighter sought to be classier, more Germanic, more of an all-rounder than the opposition, and ended up doing absolutely everything about eighty per cent as well as it needed to be done.
And the Signum? Well, to this day nobody quite knows what the idea was all about. We kinda understand the need for an estate car which wasn't an estate car, traditionally the station wagon has held a kind of Grecian 2000, Antiques Roadshow, Male Pattern Baldness kind of stigma. Nobody with any youthful leanings would opt for one, and those who had really reproduced themselves into a corner did the job properly and bought a Renault Espace.
By creating what was ostensibly an estate car but with the emphasis on passengers rather than freight, Vauxhall, no, let's be honest here, there's no such thing as Vauxhall any more... Opel thought they were onto a winner. There was provision for rear seat entertainment packages, individual rear seats, drinks chillers and myriad other cool gadgets, all intended to somehow de-tweedify it and emphasise its non-estate-car-ness. Unmoved, the public responded by buying Mondeo Estates, which, somehow managed to be almost cool anyway.
Which leads nicely to the car you see presented before you. Opel UK did actually manage to sell some of these confusingly pitched vehicles, probably through heavy discounting, and presumably taking sales away from the Vectra Estate they had in the range anyway. I actually experienced a twinge of excitement when I was told that I had a Signum to sample, I had never driven one before and I like trying new cars.
Then a funny thing happened. I approached the car, noting from some distance that it appeared to have Astra VXR wheels on it. Curious, I thought, and then clocked that it also had the full Irmscher dress-up kit attached. To a Signum. To remind those of you at the back, this is not a performance car.
Once installed into the figure hugging seats that all Design models of Signum have fitted, I cracked the throttle open and was greeted by further novelty. In their wisdom, somebody had fitted some kind of sports exhaust. It was loud. Not a nice loud, no Lancia Stratos at full chat sensation, but a drony, stifled, midrange groan and a guarantee of tense, nervous headache at journeys end. Furthermore, as I tentatively launched; no that's too dynamic, I hiccuped the Signum onto the Southend Arterial, an attractive girl on a bicycle turned round to see what was making all the noise. She saw me. She saw my face. And she saw that I was behind the wheel of a Vauxhall Signum with a bodykit and a “sports” exhaust.
I'm embarrassed. I have to get out of this car.
On the open road came the opportunity to forget about the visual crimes the exterior was committing and put The Beast through its paces. This didn't take long because it had a normally aspirated 2.2 with a five speed manual gearbox. I began to wonder if, while spec-ing this car, the customer had been on a quest to create the most ironic car that had ever been built, if it had been a 1.9DTi he would have succeeded with honours.
Such musings were soon overridden by a new concern, as it became apparent that the VXR wheels had had a catastrophic effect on the cars behaviour at speed. Forget tramlining, it was as if I were driving along the East Coast Main Line. The Signum was changing direction at every ripple as if passing over a set of points. Excellent wrist exercise, though, my hands were working the wheel like Mr T to keep her heading in some kind of straight line.
Additionally, for my further enjoyment, the Bernard Manning-width rubber was providing a full-on soundtrack throughout the entire audio spectrum. If I am ever father to a hyperactive ten year old with an attention deficit disorder, and he ever freaks out in a cymbal and gong factory, I already know what it'll sound like. I couldn't wait to stop driving and wait for the tinnitus to gradually fade away.
So I'm embarrassed and now I've gone deaf. I really have to get out of this car.
I zoned out for the rest of the journey. My brain went into a sort of self-preservatory autopilot, abandoning any further interest in the driving experience, (if you have to know, it felt like a long wheelbase Vectra with daft wheels and no power) until I got back to the office. Arriving with much booming of exhaust to the consternation and intrigue of everyone within earshot, amounting to most of our industrial estate, such was the row that one of the chaps came out remarking:
“So that's what was making all that noise? I thought you'd shown up in an F40”
I looked at the rear of the car to investigate this “sports” exhaust installation, expecting one of the Halfords-issue fart cans you see hanging limply from the tail of a bright orange Saxo. But no, what I was greeted by pushed the car beyond the limits of irony and into hilarity. There, purposefully mounted below the oh-so-necessary rear splitter were two rectangular-section dual tailpipes, a superb visual oxymoron when you note their proximity to the Vauxhall Signum 2.2 badging.
A quick recap, in order of amusingness:- Signum, Design, 2.2, Irmscher Bodykit, VXR wheels, quad exhaust. What in blazes would drive somebody to spec that? All that kit would have cost thousands from the factory and contributed exactly zero to the residual value of the car, so nobody in their right minds would have paid for it from new unless they had a pathological hatred for retaining money.
Maybe it was one of those bizzaro dealer-specials. Drive-Rite Vauxhall possibly had a dull as ditchwater Signum 2.2 in stock for ages and ages and wanted to market the Irmscher range of official add-on tat, so they bolted the latter to the former and ran it as a demonstrator until a fool and his money turned up to be easily parted. Yes, that must have been it.
In case you've forgotten, it's a Signum 2.2-litre, with a bodykit, VXR wheels and four exhaust pipes. Four!
Perhaps most tellingly, at the time of my drive the car was six years old and had only covered thirty thousand miles. And I'll bet that, to avoid the driver being seen and heard by public eye, most of those miles were travelled under cover of darkness.

Esports for All event at MediaCityUK
By Yasmin Tenk on 3rd March 2020 in Community, News
MediaCityUK recently hosted an eSports event held by the BBC Academy, as part of their BBC Digital Cities 2020 event.
With the aim to increase participation of eSports, the event held talks which saw a panel of industry experts compare eSports to physical sports, both in terms of competitiveness and enjoyment.
The discussion was conducted by industry experts, lead by guest speaker: Maria Stukoff, co-chair of the eSports Industry Collaboration Programme. Alice Leaman, Schools and Colleges Liaison Officer at the British Esports Association, seeks to promote the eSports championships whilst also bringing attention to digital skills and its correlation to STEM learning in schools.
.@BBCAcademy Digital Cities Manchester returns THIS WEEK, and we are so proud to be part of it.
"Esports for all" is an afternoon full of insightful talks & VR demonstrations from our academics & industry experts. Link to book below 🎮https://t.co/ed9XN60Gpb#DigiCities pic.twitter.com/TMyJw8AITm
— University of Salford (@SalfordUni) February 24, 2020
Salford lad, Jordan Eastwood, director of Noob Guides Limited, claims that “parents are the hardest boss. You can learn educational skills form eSports, it’s not just playing games.”
Comparing eSports to physical exercise he comments, “Remove competitiveness – similar to sport. You choose your game, just like you choose your sport.”
Andy Miah, Chair of Science Communication and Future Media at Salford university, expresses that he is inspired by the varied use of eSports among different sectors of industry and how he is “excited at the prospect of physical sports and eSports coming together in the future.”
The panel discussed these prospects with the concept realised by the partnership between British Cycling and Zwift, which brought us the British Cycling eRacing Championships, powered by Zwift in 2019.
Neil Charmichael, a representative for British Cycling, is inspired by his previous competing in mountain biking for team GB and his part in the eRacing championships.
Other activities at the event were focused heavily around virtual reality (VR) and the experience of a more physical approach in comparison to the traditional sit-down gaming setup.
Attendees were able to don the coveted Oculus Rift and try their luck on VR Beat Saber, a rhythm based game where players must use in-game light sabers to hit beats in carefully designed music tracks.
Alternatively, less intense gameplay was available where the headset is used to simulate travelling to the moon in a spacecraft or participants were able to explore the world of Minecraft whilst using the handheld controllers to both mine and craft respectively.

Dzungars
Title: Dzungars
Subject: Dalai Lama, Kazakhstan, History of Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, 18th century, Timeline of Mongolian history, Kyrgyz people, Timeline of Chinese history, Khong Tayiji, Kalmyk people
"Dzungars" redirects here. For the empire established by Dzungar people, see Zunghar Khanate.
The name Dzungar people, also Zunghar (literally "left hand"), referred to the several Oirat tribes who formed and maintained the Zunghar Khanate in the 17th to 18th century. Historically they were one of major tribes of the Four Oirats confederation. They were also known as the Eleuths or Ööled, from the Qing Dynasty euphemism for the hated word Zunghar.[1] In 2010, 15,520 people claimed "Ööled" ancestry in Mongolia.[2] An unknown number also live in China, Russia, and Kazakhstan.
1 Origin
The Dzungars were a confederation of several Oirat tribes that emerged in the early 17th century to fight the Altan Khan of the Khalkha (not to be confused with the more well-known Altan Khan of the Tümed), the Jasaghtu Khan, and later the Manchu for dominion and control over the Mongolian people and territories. This confederation rose to power in what became known as Dzungaria between the Altai Mountains and the Ili River Valley. Initially, the confederation consisted of the Oöled, Dörvöd and Khoit tribes. Later on, elements of the Khoshut and Torghut tribes were forcibly incorporated into the Dzungar military, thus completing the re-unification of the West Mongolian tribes.
According to oral history, the Oöled and Dörbed tribes are the successor tribes to the Naiman, a Turco-Mongol tribe that roamed the steppes of Central Asia during the era of Genghis Khan. The Oöled shared the clan name Choros with the Dörvöd."Zuun gar" (left hand) and "Baruun gar" (right hand) was oirat's military and administrative organization and Olots and Choros of the Zuun gar became ruling clans in 17th century.
On the Öölöds before the Qing Dynasty, see Zunghar Empire.
In 1697, two relatives of Galdan Khan, Dajila and Rabdan, surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Their people were organized into two Oolod banners and resettled in modern Bayankhongor Province. In 1731, five hundred households fled back to the Zunghars and the remaining Oolods were deported to Hulun Buir. After 1761 part of them were resettled in Arkhangai Province.
The Hulun Buir Oolods formed an administrative banner along the Imin and Shinekhen Rivers. Under the Chinese Empire, a body of them were resettled to Yakeshi city. In 1764 many Oolods migrated to Khovd Province and supplied corvee services for the Khovd garrison of the Qing. Their number reached 9,100 in 1989.
The Zunghars remaining in Xinjiang were also renamed Oolods. They dominated 30 sums of 148 Mongol sums during the Qing. They numbered 25,000 in 1999.
The Qing dynasty gained control over eastern Xinjiang as a result of a long struggle with the Zunghars that began in the seventeenth century. In 1755, the Qing attacked Ghulja, and captured the Zunghar khan. Over the next two years, Qing armies destroyed the remnants of the Zunghar khanate and colonised parts of Xinjiang with Han and Hui Chinese.
It has been estimated that more than half of the Dzunghar population were killed by illness or the military campaigns. One writer, Wei Yuan, described the resulting desolation in what is now northern Xinjiang as: "In an area stretching to several thousand li, there was not a yurt except those who have surrendered." Some of the surviving Dzunghars fled to Russia and Kazakh Khanate.

Abaco Mother Worried About Support After Her Son Tests Positive
As of Wednesday, August 5, 2020
Discuss 2 comments, Blog about
By LEANDRA ROLLE
Tribune Staff Reporter
lrolle@tribunemedia.net
AN Abaco woman, whose son has COVID-19, says she is concerned about the lack of communication from health officials on the island as she and her husband have yet to be tested for the virus.
Donna Bain, 62, told The Tribune yesterday she and her family have received little information from medical professionals since her son tested positive for the virus a week ago Saturday.
Her son, Desron Edwards, was tested for COVID-19 after being exposed to two workers employed at Baker’s Bay resort who contracted the virus in July. Mr Edwards is also a construction worker at the exclusive resort.
“The nurses tested him (last) Thursday and Saturday, they told him he tested positive,” Mrs Bain said. “They never told me anything; I asked him and he keep saying ‘Mummy I don’t have any symptoms’ and he keeps saying he ain’t sick.”
Asked yesterday if he thought the test might have been a false positive, Mr Edwards replied: “I can’t say, but I feel fine.”
Still, Mrs Bain says the family follows all of the health and social distancing protocols as a safety measure.
But what makes the situation particularly worrying is that her husband is a high-risk case. Neither of them, she said, have been tested for the virus despite being exposed to their son.
“Ain’t nobody reached to us. And it is concerning,” she said.
“I would be more worried about my husband more than anything because my husband is a chronic asthmatic and he’s also a cancer patient. The nurse knows his condition. They should’ve called me and let me know the dangers of what is what’s happening. To this day, my husband and I are seniors in here and they never yet called me to say ‘Mrs Bain, now this is what’s going to happen.’”
According to Mrs Bain, it’s been a week since the family was placed under quarantine.
Their daily routine includes taking temperature checks as a precautionary measure to ensure they are still in good health.
“The nurse came by and drop the thermometers on Tuesday,” she said. “I have it here, my temperature was 96.6. Then I have Wednesday’s reading, Thursday’s reading, Friday’s reading and Saturday’s reading and of course today’s reading.
“So, I’m keeping check of our readings and our readings are good. My son has his own reading. I would send it on my phone.”
She claimed there is little communication between the family and health officials concerning their COVID-19 status.
Asked yesterday how many times police or health officials contact them in a day, she replied: “No, they don’t reach out everyday.
“My friend said when she was taking her temperature, when she was quarantined, there was a nurse in Marsh Harbour, and she used to have video call with her and make sure and watch her doing her temperature and she would have to show it to her.”
Her son added: “They don’t come here. All they ask is for us to do the temperature. They don’t even know if we could be lying with the temperature.”
Mrs Bain said before Hurricane Isaias, the family was not contacted by officials about their level of preparedness for the Category One storm. She said the family was only able to receive their hurricane supplies, thanks to a close friend.
She said: “I gave my friend, my neighbour who lives another corner from me, she came and she got my card and I called the shop, because I called the police first because I didn’t want no problems after he called me and say ‘you know if you (get) catch out, that’s a $20,000 fine.’
“Ain’t nobody reached out to us. It’s a good thing I’m a prayer warrior and I have prayer partners and a praying family. Because they ain’t even call to say well ‘Mrs Bain.’ I had to call them about my pressure and medicine..”
Mrs Bain said the situation has left a stigma about the family in the community.
She said: “You gat people around here who treating us as if we all are sick and I had everything in my vehicle, everything in my home sanitised from the jump. We’ve been doing what we’re supposed to do. All of us are in quarantine.
“…People calling me who don’t even associate with me and I never associate with them saying ‘I hear somebody in Sandy Point get the virus.’ This one thing from the COVID-19, I have learned who is your friend and who is your brother.”

Idiopathic Chronic Pancreatitis in Bihar: A Perspective from Eastern India
Utpal Anand1, Ramesh Kumar2, Rajeev Nayan Priyadarshi3, Bindey Kumar4, Sanjay Kumar5, Kunal Parasar1
1Department of Surgical Gastroenterology, AIIMS, Patna, Bihar, India. 2Department of Gastroenterology, AIIMS, Patna, Bihar, India. 3Department of Radiodiagnosis, AIIMS, Patna, Bihar, India. 4Department of Paediatric Surgery, AIIMS, Patna, Bihar, India. 5Department of Surgical Gastroenterology, IGIMS, Patna, Bihar, India.
Dr Utpal Anand
Email: utpalanand2@gmail.com, drutpalanand@aiimspatna.org
Background: There is a lack of data describing the clinical profile, complications, and treatment outcome of patients with idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (ICP) from Eastern India. The current study aimed to present data on these aspects from a tertiary care centre of Bihar - a part of Eastern India.
Methods: Prospective data were collected with regard to clinic-epidemiological profile, complication, and treatment outcome from each patient of ICP (n=129). The median follow-up period was 3.8 (01 - 06) years.
Results: ICP constituted the most common (64.1%, 129/201) cause of chronic pancreatitis. The mean age ± SD of ICP patients was 31.5 ± 11.2 years, and 71 (55%) were male. Diabetes and symptomatic steatorrhea were found in 25% (n=33) and 6.2% (n=08) patients. Pancreatic head mass was found in 43 (33%) patients, of which 17 (39.5%) was malignant. When patients were categorized into early-onset (= 30 years) and late-onset (>30 years) groups, no significant difference was found with regard to the proportion of patients with diabetes, head mass, and malignancy. The majority (69.7%) of patients required surgery (Frey’s procedure) due to failed medical therapy. Seventy-four (82%) patients had significant pain relief during a median follow-up of 3.8 years after surgery.
Conclusions: ICP is the most common cause of chronic pancreatitis in Bihar. The majority of such patients are young, with slight male preponderance. They have a significant risk of developing diabetes and pancreatic malignancy. They are poorly responsive to medical therapy, and the outcome of surgical therapy is good.
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a condition characterized by irreversible destruction and fibrosis of the pancreatic parenchyma, which may lead to exocrine and endocrine pancreatic insufficiency.1 Alcohol is the most common cause of CP worldwide. A large proportion of patients with CP have no identifiable cause, which has been called idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (ICP). Though still controversial, ICP includes several well-described disease subgroups like early and late-onset ICP, tropical CP (TCP), minimal change CP, and small duct CP.2-5 In earlier reports, mostly from south India, TCP was used synonymously with ICP and was reported to be the most common form. The characteristic features described for TCP was younger age at onset, presence of large intraductal calculi, and an accelerated course of the disease leading to diabetes and steatorrhea, and a high susceptibility to pancreatic cancer.6-11 A prospective multicentre survey from centres located both in the north and south India involving 1086 subjects reported that only about 3.8 % to 5.8 % of patients could fulfil the criteria of TCP, and ICP was the most common form of CP in India (622; 60.2% patients).12
Studies from South India have also revealed a changing trend of TCP.13 Data from Northern India is variable and show overlapping pictures of ICP and TCP.14 There is a lack of detailed studies of ICP from Eastern and Western India. This study aims to present the clinic-epidemiological profiles, complications, treatment, and outcome of ICP patients from Bihar, which is a part of Eastern India.
This study is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from the Department of Surgical Gastroenterology at Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna, India, between January 2011 and July 2017. Two hundred and one patients with CP were referred for surgical evaluation, of which 129 patients had ICP, which constituted the core group of our study. Alcoholic CP (n=66), hyperparathyroidism (n=4), and pancreatic divisum (n=2) were the other aetiologies excluded from the study.
The diagnosis of CP was based on the presence of pancreatic calculi, ductal dilatation and parenchyma atrophy on Ultrasonography, Computed Tomography (CT) scan, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) or Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) whenever required. ICP was diagnosed in patients with CP by excluding patients with significant alcohol consumption and other potential causes. The patients with ICP were divided into early-onset and late-onset ICP depending on the age of onset of symptoms (before or after 30 years). Alcoholic CP was considered when alcohol intake exceeded 80 g/day for males or 60 g/day for females for at least two years in the absence of other causes.15 Autoimmune CP was diagnosed by the International Consensus Diagnostic Criteria (ICDC) published in 2011.16 The investigations for this included imaging (US/CT or MRI), blood test (serum IgG4 levels), and EUS guided core biopsy. Response to steroid therapy was also taken into account. Metabolic CP was diagnosed if there was evidence of hyperparathyroidism or hypertriglyceridemia. However, patients with AIP and Metabolic CP were excluded from our study. Diabetes was diagnosed if the fasting plasma glucose value was equal to, or greater than, 126 mg/dL confirmed on two occasions and a plasma glucose value equal to, or greater than, 200 mg/dL after a two-hour glucose load confirmed on two occasions, and requirements for insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs. A qualitative faecal microscopic examination (using Sudan stain) was done in all patients. A 72 hours faecal fat estimation was done in patients with a clinical suspicion of steatorrhea or when the microscopic test was positive. Nutritional status was assessed using WHO growth charts for height for age and body mass index (BMI) for age.
A detailed clinical history and examinations were made in all patients. Baseline routine investigations such as complete blood count, liver function test, kidney function tests, blood glucose, stool for fat, and another test as and when needed were done in all patients. Radiological investigations included abdominal ultrasonography & abdominal CT scans in all cases, and MRI with MRCP or EUS whenever required. After obtaining consent from each patient, data on demography, clinical profiles, radiological characteristics, complications, management, and therapeutic responses were collected for analysis.
The continuous variables with normal distribution were expressed as mean (SD), and those with skewed distribution were expressed as median (range). Categorical data were presented as proportions. Comparisons for continuous variables were made with student t-test or Mann Whitney test whenever applicable. Comparisons for categorical variables were made using Chi-square or Fisher’s test, wherever applicable. A P value <0.05 was taken as signi?cant. Data were analysed using GNU PSPP Statistical analysis software.
ICP constituted the most common (64.1%, 129 of 201) cause of CP in Bihar. The ICP patients (n=129) were uniformly distributed across the state, and there were no high-density pockets. The mean age ± SD of patients was 31.5 ± 11.2 years (range: 11-65 years). Seventy-one (55%) patients were male, and the male-female ratio was 1.2:1. When patients were categorized into two groups according to the onset of symptoms before or after 30 years of age, the mean age of the patients in early-onset (before 30 years, n = 73) and late-onset (after 30 years, n= 56) groups were 23.5± 5 years and 41.8± 8.3 years, respectively.
Clinical Profiles
The mean duration of symptoms at the time of presentation in patients with ICP was 40.2 months. Abdominal pain (95%) was the most frequent presenting symptom in both early and late-onset ICP (73/73; 100% vs. 50/56; 89%). The pain was moderately severe, with long pain-free intervals in between. The BMI was similar between patients with early and late-onset ICP (20.7 ± 3.6kg/m2 vs. 20.2 ± 3.5kg/m2). Jaundice was the presenting complaint in 12.4% (16/129) patients. The cause of jaundice was biliary obstruction due to pancreatic malignancy, common bile duct (CBD) stones, and CBD stricture in 7, 2, and 7 patients, respectively. Pseudopancreatic cysts in the pancreatic head were present in 7.75% (10/129) patients.
Pancreatic Ducts and Calcification
The central pancreatic duct was markedly dilated in most patients with median (range) size being 8 (3 - 40) mm. The ductal dilatation was similar between early and late-onset groups (8.8 mm vs. 8.0 mm, p=0.19). All ICP patients had pancreatic calcification and diffuse parenchymal atrophy. The pattern of pancreatic calcification was similar between two groups, and in the majority, multiple large intraductal were seen throughout the duct.
Endocrine and Exocrine Insufficiency
Diabetes was detected in 25% (33/129) of ICP patients, and its prevalence was similar between early and late-onset ICP (21.9% vs. 30.3%, P=0.31). Twelve of 33 diabetic patients required insulin therapy for blood sugar control. None of them had microvascular or macrovascular complications related to diabetes. Four of 33 diabetic ICP patients fitted into criteria of fibrocalculus pancreatic diabetes (FCPD), i.e., the patient had diabetes for more than ten years; later diagnosed chronic pancreatitis on evaluation for pain abdomen. Steatorrhea was noted in 8 (6.2%) patients with ICP.
Pancreatic Head Mass and Malignancy
On radiological investigations, the pancreatic head mass was found in 33% (43 of 129) patients. Cytological examination revealed adenocarcinoma in 39.5% (17 of 43) patients with head mass and overall 13% (17 of 129). The proportion of malignancy was similar between patients with early and late-onset ICP (n= 9; 12.3% vs. N=8; 14.2%, p=0.79) (Table 1). Twelve out of 17 (70%) patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma were locally advanced with encasement of the portal vein with evidence of portal hypertension.
Surgical Treatment and Outcome
All patients initially received medical therapy in the form of pancreatic enzyme supplementation, low dose opioids, and antioxidants. However, 90 (69.7%) patients required surgery due to severe and recurrent pain refractory to medical therapy or complications of chronic pancreatitis. Head coring with lateral pancreaticojejunostomy. (Frey’s procedure) was done in all patients who required surgery. The average operative time was 3.0± 0.5 hours, and the average blood loss during the operation was 500 ± 215 mL. There was no pancreaticojejunostomy leak and postoperative mortality. The median (range) follow-up period post-surgery was 3.8 (01 - 06) years. Seventy-four (82%) patients had significant pain relief until the last follow-up. Insulin requirement reduced in 8 patients who required a high dose of insulin preoperatively.
Our study revealed that ICP was the most common cause of CP in Bihar. The most common age of presentation was the third and fourth decades of life with slight male preponderance. Abdominal pain was the most common presenting symptom. The prevalence of diabetes among ICP patients was reasonably common, while steatorrhea and malnutrition were uncommon. With regards to complications, a head mass was seen in 1/3rd cases, pseudocyst was rare, and the malignancy rate was high in both early and late-onset ICP. The response to medical therapy was generally poor in such patients, and the outcome of surgical therapy was good.
Based on the age of the presentation, layer et al.17 from the Mayo Clinic (USA) first described two clinical patterns of ICP, i.e., early- and late-onset pancreatitis. They observed early-onset ICP had more frequent and severe pain but less calcification, endocrine and exocrine insufficiency in comparison to late-onset ICP. However, in contrast to western reports, a study from North India by Garg et al.18 reported continuous pain, large pancreatic calculi, and predominantly large duct disease in early-onset CP resembling TP. Patients with late-onset CP had recurrent episodes of pain, less frequent pancreatic calcification, and predominantly had small duct disease resembling ICP as described from Western countries. A study from Kerala (South India) by Rajesh et al.19 revealed a higher incidence of endocrine and exocrine insufficiency with late-onset ICP in comparison to early-onset ICP. The risk of pancreatic carcinoma or the development of pseudocyst was equal in both groups. Our study failed to find any difference in clinical presentation, phenotypic characteristics, diabetes, and risk of malignancy between early and late-onset ICP.
The natural history of TCP earlier described by Geevarghese20 in south Indian patients was pain between the ages of 6-10 years, diabetes by the age of 20 years, and death before the age of 30. However, recent studies from South India have suggested that the profile of ICP is changing. In our cohort of ICP patients, 43% were above 30 years and better nourished (BMI: 20.5+3.2 kg/m2). The classical TCP, where most of the patients were between 10 to 30 years, malnourished, and had a high frequency of diabetes, calcification, and risk of malignancy, is now seldom seen. In a multicentric study from India involving 1086 subjects with CP, only 3.8% fit into the classic TCP diagnosis. There has been a changing trend in the spectrum of CP in India over the years. TCP and ICP seem to be a complex disorder with the interaction between genes and the environment. Because the genetic profile of an individual cannot change, change in phenotypic presentation of TCP/ ICP over time could be due to the changes in the environment, diet, smoking habit, and nutritional status. Therefore, it can be safely assumed that patients who used to present earlier as TCP are now present more often as ICP due to the influence of environmental changes, and both TCP and ICP may be different phenotypic presentations of genetically predisposed similar individuals.
The association between CP and pancreatic cancer is considerably high. Lowenfels et al.21 reported an estimated risk of malignancy around 4% at 20 years in a large multicentre study on chronic alcoholic pancreatitis. Multiple reports from India have found that that the risk of pancreatic cancer was higher in patients ICP as compared to those with alcoholic CP.
A study by Augustine P and Ramesh H have found pancreatic adenocarcinoma in 22 of 266 patients (8.3%) with TCP and suggested TCP may be a premalignant condition.22-24 The prevalence of malignancy in our cohort of ICP was high (13.5%), even in those with early-onset ICP. However, it cannot be taken as a true prevalence of malignancy in ICP patients, as hospital-based data is subject to referral bias. The exact incidence and prevalence of adenocarcinoma complicating CP in India may be known only after conducting large population-based prospective studies. One important feature observed in our series was a significant number of patients of ICP with head mass turning out to be malignant (17/43; 40%). Thus head mass in the background of ICP should raise high suspicion of malignancy.
There are two studies published from Eastern India by Bhattacharjee et al., and Jha et al.25-26 have included CP patients of all aetiologies, and our study provides data exclusively on idiopathic CP. The mean age of ICP patients in our study was 31.5 years, comparable to the mean age in a study by Bhattacharjee et al. (29.7 years). The mean age in the study by Jha et al. was 39.5 years, in which 34% of patients had alcoholic CP (Table 2).
The prevalence of biliary stricture in our study (5.25%) is similar to (5.5%) to that in the study by Bhattacharjee et al. from Eastern India. However, in another study from Eastern India by Jha et al., the prevalence of biliary stricture was 19.4%, though only 6.4% of patients had a symptomatic biliary stricture. Therefore, a stringent assessment of bile duct by MRCP or ERCP could result in the detection of asymptomatic biliary stricture in a higher proportion of CP patients.
Surgical treatment was offered in a higher proportion (69.7%) of CP patients in our series. In a study by Bhattacharjee et al. from Eastern India, about 40% of patients required surgery. Ours is a resource constraint region where patients often cannot afford costly treatment, particularly the ones which require multiple sessions and regular/prolonged abstinence from the work. Moreover, accesses to the repeated endoscopic therapy or extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy are limited in Bihar. Therefore, we have to keep the threshold for surgical therapy on the lower side, which results in a higher proportion of patients undergoing surgical therapy.
The morbidity and mortality of side to side LPJ is <1%. Our study found that one-time surgery has excellent long-term pain relief with minimal morbidity.
The limitations of our study are smaller sample size and potential biases arising due to local referral patterns.
In conclusion, our findings suggest that ICP is the most common cause of CP in Eastern India. It resembles TCP described in south India with a high incidence of diabetes and malignancy. There were no statistically significant differences in the rate of complications between early and late-onset ICP. Further population-based studies, including a study on a genetic basis, are needed to expand the results of our study.

The game that pioneered the genre.
Metroidvania is a genre of video game traditionally described as 2D platformers with a strong emphasis on exploration and action, while also featuring ways to increase the strength of your character. This usually is done by collecting items which give you more powerful abilities, leveling up through the accumulation of experience, or both. As the name suggests, the genre was popularized in the late 1980s by the Metroid and Castlevania series.
These games tend to be among my favorites for several reasons. I like the fact that they tend to be graphically beautiful with a thought-provoking atmosphere. I like that, if areas are too difficult, you can grind monsters or explore other areas and try again when you're stronger. I also like feeling of accomplishment when you return to earlier areas after you've become stronger and seeing how powerful you've become.
These are the specific properties I have identified that I feel can be used to accurately determine whether a game is a Metroidvania and are also fairly easy to gauge as a yes or no. Other properties may much more accurately determine a game's genre, but are greatly a matter of opinion, so I don't include them.
Side-view Platformer: Traditionally, Metroidvanias are side-view platformers. While a top-down remake of Metroid would certainly be wonderful, it would lose some of the feel of the game.
Non-linear Map: Part of the allure of Metroidvanias is being able to explore a large complex map when you can return to past areas at your leisure. Compare this to stage-based games where you're forced to move at the game's pace.
Power-up Collection: For this page, a "power-up" is something that remains with you once you collect it (Samus's high jump boots).
Usable Inventory: This includes items that are placed in your inventory and later can be consumed (like a healing potion). It does not include things like ammo.
Hidden Passages: Areas of the map that are not readily apparant, but can be discovered with persistence.
Stat Leveling: Often through experience rewards for defeating enemies. This causes the player to grow in strength over time.
Money: A lot of Metroidvanias include money, usually dropped by enemies, that can be used to purchase items.
Minibosses: In addition to a final boss, Metroidvanias often have minibosses for various areas which serve as gatekeepers to new areas.

Gayeshwar pushes for unity of journalists for common good
UNB, Dhaka
BNP senior leader Gayeshwar Chandra Roy on Monday said journalists in Bangladesh are being subjected to repression and suppression only because of division and conflict among them.
"Journalists need to be united now for their professional reasons. But we see there’re conflicts among the journalists than that of political parties. That’s why journalists cannot raise voice in unison when it comes to torture on them, no matter what their views are,” he said.
Speaking at a token-hunger strike programme, the BNP leader also said the journalists are facing the “steamroller of torture and even getting killed and deprived of justice” only for lack of their united voice.
A faction of Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists arranged the three-hour-long programme in front of the Jatiya Press Club demanding the release of arrested journalists and the trial of journalist couple Sagar-Runi murder case.
Gayeshwar, a BNP standing committee member, said journalists should have sympathy for each other irrespective of their political ideology and views. “But when people hear about or see journalists being divided and taken a position in favour of BNP and Awami League, then they lose their confidence in the media and they get frustrated.”
He bemoaned that journalists could not unitedly continue a movement for mounting pressure on the government to complete the trial of Sagar-Runi murder case and punish their assailants. “We saw a journalist leader was awarded to thwart the protest against the incident. If the issue of Sagar-Runi's murder can be silenced through an award, then such murders will continue.”
He regretted that the submission date for the probe report of the Sagar-Runi murder case was deferred for the 76th time.
“Cases are being filed against Prothom Alo editor Matiur Rahman. Are the editors of other newspapers taking to the streets in protest against it? They’re not doing that. The government will be scared of hitting a journalist if all other the journalists raise voice unitedly when their any colleague comes under any attack. There should be a unity among you, but we don’t see it.”
Describing journalists as the conscience of the nation, Gayeshwar said the media people should not speak in favour of any political party and unfair acts on TV talk-shows using their professional identities. “If you want to do it, you can join a political party quitting journalism and then people won’t talk about it.”
Gayeshwar urged the journalists to develop their profession and make their position visible, enlighten people and thus earn their respect.
He said the media used to run programmes on the country’s Liberation War and the barbaric repression and oppression on women by the Pakistani occupation forces. “But those who now attack our mothers and sisters and insult them are equal to or more than of that the Pakistanis.”
"The spirit of the Liberation War has now vanished in the spirit of corruption…Now there’s no democracy as everything is run as per Sheikh Hasina’s whims. Democracy won’t be restored if we can’t ensure the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government,” the BNP leader observed.
He said that the people belong to all professions, including journalism, are now deprived of their rights due to the absence of democracy in the country.

TRANSCRIPT: Q and A with Comelec chair's brother Martin Bautista
A couple of weeks ago, Comelec chair Andres "Andy" Bautista's wife, Patricia "Tisha" Bautista, revealed to the public pieces of evidence that strongly suggest that the husbad amassed ill-gotten wealth during his stint in the government.
In defense of his brother Andy, Martin Bautista, a practicing gastroenterologist in the United States, came out several days after the revelation, claiming that much of Andy's alleged wealth came from him. Martin has since appeared in several shows, and he decided to reach out to social media bloggers and newspaper columnists by granting an interview.
The interview turned out to be some sort of town hall meeting, with Martin as the interviewee and the following as the interviewers:
Manila Times columnist and former Ambassador Rigoberto Tiglao
Manila Standard columnist Jojo Robles
DLSU Political Science Professor Antonio Contreras
Atty. Trixie Cruz-Angeles
Atty. Ahmed Paglinawan
Krizette Chu
Dr. Ethel Pineda
RJ Nieto (me)
Atty. Bruce Rivera, et. Al.
Bautista was barraged by questions from the interviewers and I have rearranged the contents of the actual conversation into a question-and-answer format to make it more readable. I have removed the names of the persons who asked the questions for brevity.
Q1: What is your immigration status in the US right now? Are you a US citizen and if so, are you a dual citizen?
A: (I’ve been a) permanent resident since 1996.
Q: Did you state your US resident status in your certificate of candidacy?
A: I would have surrendered it had I won.
Q: So you declared residency even without surrendering your green card?
A: I had returned to the Philippines permanently in 2006.
Q: But did not surrender your green card?
Bautista ran for Senator in 2007 under the "Ang Kapatiran" Party, and in 2010 under the Liberal Party. He lost on both occasions.
Q: To your knowledge, do u have a joint bank account with your brother in any bank in the Philippines?
A: Yes. Since I couldn't sign for some of the accounts, my sister or my mother signed for me.
Q: So you issued them an SPA (Special Power of Attorney)?
Q: How much was in the account?
A: We are working with a forensic accountant. (We) hired her yesterday.
Q: Did your name appear in the accounts as a co-depositor and how much was in the account?
A: I will check. After 2014, I did not have the opportunity to personally open accounts.
Q: To your knowledge do you own an account in Luzon Development bank, singly or as a co-depositor?
A: I inquired yesterday. I know I opened accounts in 2009. I will inform you as soon as I receive word. Always as a co-depositor.
Q: Why are you only asking now?
A: Because the LDB passbooks were taken without my brother's knowledge last November.
Q: You deposited in 2009 but are not aware of the status or amount. Is it fair to say that the controversy moved you to ask?
A: Especially after my brother entered government service in 2010, I don't remember inquiring, a reflection of my absolute trust in my brother.
Q: But surely you would know the initial amount?
A: 1.7 million dollars in 2000… 8 million pesos in 2000… Before they got married.
Q: May I ask the next question: Why did you choose to open accounts--with big amounts--in LDB? Apart from the owner being your friend, were you not worried about stability, as well as products and services?
A: 1993-2010 investments were for growth, 2010-present primarily for stability and security.
Q: LDB is not stable nor established, relative to other banks… Not stability on your end. But the bank itself. To be honest, many of us have never heard of the bank before this "expose." So many are asking why choose LDB?
A: Stability is relative, Krizette, compared to BDO for example, we didn't know the owners. I am inviting Darwin [Cañete] later today or tomorrow to personally view my cash deposits in the US and he will vouch that relative to my investments in our country, these are pretty small. Hindi naman po sa nagyayabang. Please consider my invitation to personally look at my US cash holdings so you can understand my level of interest with my Philippine investments.
Q: What do your friends the Limcaocos say about this and the role of their bank in the issue?
A: [No Answer]
Q: Ok, so the amounts divulged by your sister in law are small, relative to your US holdings, which explains your lack of interest in them. I hope I got that right. But when your brother joined government, did it not occur to you and your family that you should no longer be using him anymore as a depository of your funds, for his own protection?
A: (The) reason why he parked the funds in money market accounts under a trust so that he could minimally supervise the funds.
Q: But what about the SALN implications, especially post-Corona? was this discussed when he joined government?
A: I ask for your patience, the NBI will vouch for all the transactions that occurred before and after he joined government. Jojo, I didn't discuss SALN with my brother.
Q: So, basically, the position taken by the family was: let Andy handle it?
Q: Why are you here? did you come on your own accord or did Andy ask you to come?
A: I am here on my own accord. I have 5 daughters in the US, school is opening this week and my pulmonologist wife is alone,holding the fort, but she understands that the honor of our family is at stake.
Q: You said you left practically everything to Andy. Can you categorically say that the monies deposited in the accounts are all sourced from family?
Q: How can you be so sure? Did he give u regular updates on amounts and transactions, dates… You said you practically let him manage them.
A: As I said, after 2010, I don't recall any updates. He rolled them over and over.
Q: So you wouldn’t have data about recent deposits? Like in 2016, for example?
A: Data, in the form of redeemed coupons, bonds, expired passbooks will prove the source of all the funds.
Q: But I am asking you Sir. Are you informed?
A: Not in 2016, Sir.
Q: You said Andy rolled over the deposits. Did he ask your permission? If so, did you give him permission?
A: …I have complete faith and trust in my brother. I allowed him to fully manage my funds in the Philippines.
Q: Why did you think it’d be a good idea to reveal that the Bautistas have money with Andy that Andy STILL did not declare in his SALN?
A: I truly appreciate this opportunity and would like once again to invite all of you for a personal meeting. The SALN of my brother is factually accurate, "no perfect SALN" but very close to the real figure. Iba talaga kung tayo'y magkita.
Q: What are your sources of income sir?
A: Clinic established in 1998, with an endoscopy suite, X-ray, MRI, CT, treadmill, etc plus a pharmacy. See 120-150 patients daily. I am not worried about the IRS, for the past 6 years, my wife and I have been the biggest taxpayers of Texas County, OK. Please don't misconstrue my comments as mayabang.
A Google Streetview of the Specialty Clinics of St. Anne, an outpatient clinic owned by Bautista, where he employs 4 other Filipino doctors,
Q: How much of your US income is represented by your personal wealth here in the Philippines?
A: Again, let me defer to the figures from the forensic investigation.
Q: So there are others sources of the money with Andy which did not come from the US?
A: My money invested with Andy all came from the US. Remember, my parents are also investors, their funds are from the Philippines.
Q: But hypothetically, you file income tax with the US. Why would you not know it for purposes of filing income tax?
A: Yes, they withhold tax on interest income.
Q: Then there should be paper trail to be able to prove it.
A: Of course.
Q: Are you completely debt free in the US, Sir? No mortgages, loans, and educational loans for the children?
A: Completely without liabilities.
Q: Yes but expenses?
A: We managed to completely pay off our clinic in 10 months in 2001. Total income of $6.5 million less expenses. Audited by the IRS in 2009. No deficiencies.
Q: Your clinic is located where? Oklahoma, right?
A: We are in the Oklahoma panhandle, no HMO, no Medicaid.
Q: Do you employ doctors and nurses? Do you do homecare? It is a rehabilitation facility?
A: 23 employees, 4 doctors (all from UP PGH), 6 nurses, 3 lab techs, reception and billing. Pure outpatient, no rehabilitation.
Q: Is your wife a us citizen?
Q: No specializations?
A: Gastroenterology and pulmonary medicine… Key to success is location of the clinic, fee for service, rare in the US. My wife and I are the only liberals in the reddest of states. She can vote, I can't.
Q: Do you have fellowship on these areas?
A: My wife and I do. Both associates are board certified in family practice.
Q: Have you, your brother or your family really engaged a PR company's services, to counter the bad publicity, as far as you know?
A: No! I came home also because my brother was doing all the work aside from his Comelec duties, only yesterday did we ask some professionals to help, exceedingly lean next to Tish's.
Q: You said you invested $1.3m here in 2000?
A: $1.7m
Q: Did you add to that later?
Q: (How did you send money to the Philippines?)
A: Wire transfers
Q: In how many increments?
A: Bi annually
Q: Twice only?
A: 1996-2009. Sometimes once a year.
Q: To whom did you wire transfer the money, to Andy?
A: To Andy. Before they got married, everything was clearly demarcated.
Q: You earlier said you invested 1.7m in dollars in the year 2000, but you also sent money before and after that?
A: Current amount to date in 2000 was 1.7, my apologies.
Q: And there was more after 2000?
Q: How much were these increments?
A: I will provide the breakdown from the accountant.
Q: The total amount remitted in the period you mentioned is more than 1.7?
A: 1.7 was the amount to date in 2000.
Q: How much did you remit in all?
A: More, will get back with you.
Q: When did you invest in Forex?
A: I did not.
Q: Out of the funds in Andy's accounts in Luzon Bank, RCBC, and HSBC how much of these were HIS funds, and can he show proof these are his. I know he is very very rich that he doesn't know the exact figures of his money, but can he give as a ball-park figure?
A: 1.7 represented the year to date investment I had with him before he got married, Patricia acknowledges this fact. He got married in 2000, my wife and I continued to invest with him.
Q: I admire your trust in your brother. You must be super-rich not to ask for some documentation from him that the money is ours, -- in case knock on wood -- something happens to you and your wife, and your children ask to get back the funds.
A: Documentation ground to a halt in late 2009, before he worked for the government. I have no knowledge regarding the pyramid scheme and modesty aside, my Philippine investments represent a small fraction of my total holdings, which I can easily prove as well.
Q: (Conjugal property rights)?
A: Andy made the demarcations between the amounts clear so Tisha would have been entitled to her rightful share. Then again, among 63 first cousins (Donato and Bautista sides) we have had only 2 divorces.
Q: So no documentation, no proof, at all that you really own P1.7M or P77m of Andy's P330m investments in LDB et al? We will just believe you since $1.7M is just change for you? So let me be clear Martin. You say the P77M in Andy's accounts are yours. Are these still there, or did you get it back? But there is no documentation. Everything is in Andy's name?
A: Redeemed bonds and time deposits will show where the funds he had been rolling over originated.
Q: Please explain, walk me through this please. My interest at this point is what happened to your money.
A: From the 1.7 million in 2000, my investments continued to grow with more remittances. The accumulated amount will form the root of the rolled over funds.
Q: If the 120-150 patients a day in your clinic, all of them are yours or us that the total number of patients? There are two other family med consultants, right? Is it accurate to say they see more patients?
A: I used to see the majority but with my advancing age, I now see 30 every morning, I play golf in the afternoon with my wife.
Q: "From the 1.7 million in 2000, my investments continued to grow with more remittances" So how much is your total money worth?
A: We have a forensic accountant determining those amounts… We retained the services of an accountant yesterday. You will be receiving exact amounts.
Q: I just want to be absolutely clear: You gave Andy $1.7 M to put int his LDB accounts. But you can't prove this. This amount has grown with additional remittances from you and with Andy investing it in bonds and time deposits. But all these you can't prove as you're waiting for forensic accountant's report. Do you have any idea or just all park-figure how much your $1.7 M has grown. Has it grown to explain all of Andy's P300 m many in LDB?
A: Our counsel advised us to let the NBI have the first look, hope you understand… Yes, my investments will cover the difference and the forensic research will validate this… My parents have also been entrusting their nest eggs with Andy, don't forget.
Q: I see you have a very large share of patients in your area. A population of 21,000 with your clinic getting 150 patients a day.
A: Our town has a meat packing plant that employs a great number of Hispanics. We are the clinic that speaks Spanish.
Q: I hate to be repetitive, how much ball park figures or percentage lang would account for the P327 million in Andy's account. Let's leave your parents or in laws out of the question muna.
A: We were assured it would take 2 weeks max, I want to give you exact numbers.
Q: You mean your $1.7 m in Andy's account just a fraction of your wealth, that you didn't really care about it, as proven by your home? Saan ba home mo? Last question, promise: is the condo in The District in San francisco yours or Andy's?
A: Copy of my deposits are in my house in New Manila, SFO condo is owned by my sister.
Q: Aside from the $1.7m and P8m you gave Andy, have you given him anything else?
A: 1.7 from 1993-2000. 2000 to 2009, to be determined.
Q: Can you at least give us a ballpark figure of the total remittances from 00 to 09?
A: Can we wait for the accountant to come up with an exact figure?
Q: E baka he's trying to determine pa a formula to generate P300 million out of P77 million in ten years.
A: I will present you proof that my Philippine holdings represent but a fraction of my US holdings, nothing far fetched.
Q: Andy said you guys ran a "forex" investment ops that works similar to a "pyramid scheme". Was it done through a company and if so, what's the the name of that company? If not, can you elaborate a bit more on how that works? Forex trading sans insider info offers minimal profit margins.
A: RJ, I don't know enough about the Forex angle, just arrived Saturday night. My brother mentioned it during his interview with Karen Davila.
Q: Martin, do u categorically say that you have no idea about the total amount you've sent to Andy? I mean, not just the 1.7 + 8, but the total. Even a figure rounded to the nearest ten million pesos or million dollars?
A: At least 250 million pesos… without any interest/investment income.
Q: Got it. What was the source of the approx 250? Pls give me an estimate nung fraction na from your own money.
A: 1/4 of my cash deposits.
Q: So 25% of the 250 is yours?
A: No, I have about 1 billion pesos cash in the US.
Q: Andy has been a finance lawyer in as early as 1993, so why wasn't he holding the money earlier?
A: He started working as a New York lawyer in '93… Some of them, remember Andy did the transfers.
Q: how much do u earn per annum in your practice in Guymon?
A: $3 million last year.
Q: Andy has PoA over your own accounts?
Q: If Andy has PoA, what made u guys decide that PoA is not enough and you had to transfer the money to him totally?
A: He had total and complete control of our investments, he could not have transferred my funds in the US on his own.
Q: You said that your hospital serviced a factory whose workers are mainly Hispanics. And you took note of the fact that you are the only Spanish speaking hospital in the area. Is that correct?
A: Seaboard Farms in Guymon, Oklahoma. 4000 employees.
Q: You also said that your hospital does not cater to patients with HMO and Medicaid?
A: My clinic, not the county hospital. County is mandated to accept indigent patients.
Q: But I am talking about your clinic.
A: Factory insurance is deemed Cadillac insurance in the US… My clinic doesn't take Medicaid.
Q: So you must be takin in so many paying private patients for you to earn a lot? In a county whose media income is below the US average?
A: Yes, ang laki na nga ang bawas during Obamacare.
There was supposed to be a continuation of the interview the day after this, but it didn't materialize.
Bautista promised to send us copies of the financial documents, but we have yet to receive them.

The National Weather Service in Los Angeles is warning that Wednesday could be the strongest Santa Ana wind event since 2007, with the strongest winds expected in southern California and lingering into Thursday.
The wind event contributed to the rapid spread of a new brush fire in Southern California.

Wind warnings and advisories are affecting areas throughout the West, not just southern California, including an extreme red flag warning for Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, where a combination of strong winds and relative humidity down to 1% will create extreme fire spread conditions.
Here are some of the wind gusts expected Wednesday morning and afternoon, locally near 80 mph are possible in the mountains.
Some of the wind gusts expected this morning and afternoon could be near 80 mph in the mountains.
Hill Fire
The latest fire to spark is the Hill Fire in the Jurupa Valley in Southern California. The fire has burned through 200 acres and sparked mandatory evacuations for the Santiago Estates Mobile Home Park in Riverside County.
Cal Fire Chief Tom Porter said Wednesday evening the fire was 5% contained, but the forward spread had stopped and it was not running into communities any longer.
Easy Fire
The Easy Fire had spread to 1,491 acres Wednesday evening in Southern California's Simi Valley as it encroached the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and State Route 23 and was just 5% contained. Porter said the acreage is expected to continue rising, but concerns were subsiding with winds lessening heading into Thursday and the library appeared out of harm's way at the moment.
The Santa Ana winds played a significant role in pushing the fire farther, according to the Ventura County Fire Department.

Mandatory evacuations and school closures have been issued in Ventura County as a result of the fast-moving brush fire. About 30,000 residents were evacuated, according to Bill Ayub, Ventura County sheriff.
A high winds warning has been issued from Ventura to San Diego counties, and winds have already gusted up to 78 mph in Ventura County.
Getty Fire
Fire crews were able to increase containment of the Getty Fire in the Los Angeles hills to 27% overnight, but the fire was still burning through 745 acres on Wednesday evening, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Winds are forecast to be 30 to 50 mph with peak gusts up to 70 mph, according to the LAFD, and winds have already gusted up to 68 mph in Los Angeles County.

Thousands of people west of the 405 Freeway and south of Mulholland Drive remain in mandatory evacuation zones. Relative humidity is expected to drop into the single digits overnight with poor to no recoveries, officials said.
Preliminary investigations have found that the Getty Fire likely started after electrical equipment struck a dried eucalyptus tree branch, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power announced Tuesday.
In Northern California, the Kincade Fire had grown to 76,825 acres by Wednesday morning and remained at 30% contained, according to Cal Fire. However, the winds had begun to settle down by Wednesday afternoon, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a news conference.
More than 100,000 residents in Sonoma County remained under mandatory evacuation orders. Officials have been told to be on the watch for people posing as firefighters who may be trying to loot the empty homes, according to ABC San Francisco station KGO.

Winds hit about 50 to 55 mph in the North Bay overnight and will remain at 30 to 40 mph through Wednesday morning but are expected to taper off by the afternoon, KGO reported.

Small scale shallow attenuation structure at Mt. Vesuvius, Italy
Edoardo Del Pezzo*, Francesca Bianco, Luca De Siena, Aldo Zollo
Geology and Geophysics
We present a high resolution 3D model of S-wave attenuation (Q(S)(-1)) for the volcanic structure of Mt. Vesuvius. Data from 959 waveforms relative to 332 volcano-tectonic earthquakes located close to the crater axis in a depth range between 1 and 4 km (below the sea level) recorded at 6 three-component seismic stations were used for the inversion. We obtained the estimate of Q(S)(-1) for each source-station pair using a single-station method based on the normalization of the S-wave spectrum for the coda spectrum at 12s lapse time. This is a modification of the well known coda-normalization method to estimate the average Q(S)(-1) for a given area. We adopt a parabolic ray-tracing in the high resolution 3D velocity model which was previously estimated using almost the same data set; then we solve a linear inversion scheme using the L-squared norm with positive constraints in 900 m-side cubic blocks, obtaining the estimate of Q(S)(-1) for each block. Robusteness and stability of the results are tested changing in turn the input data set and the inversion technique. Resolution is tested with both checkerboard and spike tests. Results show that attenuation structure resembles the velocity structure, well reproducing the interface between the carbonates and the overlying volcanick rocks which form the volcano. Analysis is well resolved till to a depth of 4-5 km. Higher Q contrast is found for the block overlying the carbonate basement and close to the crater axis, almost cohincident with a positive P-wave velocity contrast located in the same volume and previously interpreted as the residual high density body related to the last eruptions of Mt. Vesuvius. We interpret this high-Q zone as the upper part of carbonate basement in which most of the high energy seismicity take place. The low-Q values found at shallow depth are interpreted as due to the high heterogeneity mainly caused by the mixing of lava layers and pyroclastic materials extruded during the last eruptions.

Jamie Kah returns a winner on juvenile
Jamie Kah continued on her winning ways when she returned from a suspension with a victory on General Beau in the first Australian two-year-old race of the season, the Darley Spring Preview at Flemington.
It was her 22nd win for the season and her 12th in town where she leads the Melbourne jockeys’ premiership.
Kah had the 900 metre sprint under control almost from the outset on the $2.70 favourite and he went on to win by 2-1/4 lengths over Finance Tycoon ($6.50) with three quarters of a length away to The Globe ($5).
Co-trainer Mat Ellerton said General Beau was a natural two-year-old and they would take advantage of that and back him up in the Maribyrnong Trial Stakes over 1000 metres on October 3.
“He’s won his two jump outs and that’s the quickest he’s gone yet,” Ellerton said.
“He’s adept at the straight so we will see how he pulls up and look at Saturday week. He’s a strong little horse.”
Kah said General Beau won as easily as he did in his last jump out and that he had a brilliant attitude.
The Mike Moroney stable confirmed it is aiming three-year-old colt Poland, the winner of Wednesday’s benchmark 64 for three-year-olds over 1400 metres, at the Caulfield Guineas.

Circular Congregational Church Tours
The Circular Congregational Church is one of the oldest continuously worshipping churches in the United States of America. English Congregationalists, Scots Presbyterians, and French Huguenots came together in a spirit of diversity and liberality to erect this impressive architectural structure, built round to represent and hold an open meeting place with a free-flowing exchange of ideas. This meeting house helped to define the young “Charles Towne” and early on this street was known as Meeting House Street, later shortened to simply “Meeting Street,” where the church, to this day, still stands.
Founded in 1681 along with city of Charleston, the Circular Church, in this way, acts as a partner with the Charleston Museum to house some of greatest wealth of Colonial America’s history. With its own ripe history including its efforts to promote tolerance and understanding, its years in exile, and the extensive and ancient graveyard art, to this day, the Circular Congregational Church of Charleston acts as a gathering place for Congregationalists and history lovers alike.
The Circular Congregational Church of Charleston is located at 150 Meeting Street, Charleston, South Carolina. It is open every day, and holds Sunday morning worship at 11 a.m.
Address: 150 Meeting Street, Charleston 29401, USA
Hours: Daily; Sunday morning worship at 11 a.m.
