NPA commends Navy on hydrographic chart
22/06/2019 admin Uncategorized 0
Chief of Naval Staff Ete Ibas and Managing Director of NPA, Hadiza Bala Usman
The Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority, (NPA) Hadiza Bala Usman has commended the Nigerian Navy for taking the lead in producing the first navigational chart of the Nigerian waters.
She has also called for greater synergy among stakeholders with the view to assiduously work in unison towards making available a holistic Nigerian Maritime Space Chart in the least possible time noting that about 80% of the Nations Territorial Waters are yet to be surveyed whilst 90% are yet to be charted going by recent data.
Speaking to stakeholders and technocrats in the transport sector, during the occasion of the celebration of the 2019 World Hydrographic Day at Naval Dockyard in Lagos, today the NPA Managing Director observed that efficient management of the Maritime Environment calls for plausible knowledge and professionalism in order to evolve critical strategies that would secure and regulate activities in the sector for proper conservation and sustainable use and exploitation of the resources therein.
Hadiza who noted that the selected theme of “Hydrographic Information to Drive Marine Knowledge” could not have been more appropriate for the event adding that without the basic information as provided by hydrography details, it would be difficult, near impossibility to acquire necessary knowledge for exploration and exploitation of the Maritime Environment as well as providing effective Management tools for conservation and sustainable use of its resources.
Similarly she called for collaborative efforts with the industry through information sharing on data especially and joint survey efforts projects so as to leverage the Local Chart Production Capacity already Developed by the Nigerian Navy’s Hydrographic Office (NNHO).She opined that through these efforts, more Maritime information would be made available to Government and Maritime Operators in an internationally accepted manner explaining that these would in turn stimulate effective governance of the Nations Territorial Waters and sustainable use of our Maritime Resources to the benefit of the Nation at large.
According to Hadiza, “it is worth mentioning that Hydrography as an endeavor, specifically assisted the NPA Management in deepening our channels, expansion of Marine Services to Ijegun Egba channel which were critical for the successful navigation and anchoring of the famous EGINA FPSO”. It equally helped in the completion of remedial dredging of escravos channel, frequent wreck removals along the channels and the success story of the NPA’s recently unveiled Simulation Center at Dockyard amongst others.
Furthermore, the Managing Director, NPA Hadiza Bala Usman said the United Nation (UN) recognized the 21st day of June yearly as World Hydrography Day pointing that it is as a result of the important place of reckon it occupies which includes being a source for revenue generation moderating the climate and being a medium trade facilitation in the geographical space.
She noted that safety, security, and the biodiversity of the environment play important roles in the Maritime Environment, pointing out that “this is why the United Nation (UN) sustainable development Goal 14, lays emphasis on the conservation and sustainable use of the ocean, seas and Marine Resources. This therefore places a demand on Littoral Nation to evolve measures for efficient Management of their Marine Environment”.

Emilia Clarke regrets a thing of the end of Game of Thrones
MADRID, 6 Jun. (CulturaOcio) –
Have spent weeks since we issued the last episode of Game of Thrones, and the controversial end still continues to speak. Emilia Clarke, who played Daenerys Targaryen in the series HBO, he has thought back about the outcome, revealing something he regrets not having done it for the filming of the eighth season.
Clarke chatted with actress Regina Hall to Variety’s Actors on Actors, an interview during which his companion profession asked if she had carried any memories of her character. “I took nothing with me, and I deeply regret that, I am very upset. I really hope the showrunners give me a dragon. I need my smelly socks. I think I took that”joked Clarke.
Clarke also shared what it felt to close a stage so important in your life. “I have finished it is completely surreal. Has passed so much life in the 10 years that I have been in the series. I have become a woman. I was 23 years old. Almost a year has passed without it, and it has taken me so long to assimilate it. Where are my dragons? That famous line. Where the hell are they? It was deeply emotional,” he explained.
Unlike Clarke, some of his fellow actors themselves were memories of Game of Thronesas in the case of Maisie Williams and Kit Harington. Williams revealed that he was the iconic brown jacket of Arya, while Harington kept the statue that presides over the grave of Jon Snow, which appeared for the first time in the teaser of the eighth delivery.
Clarke it has been dismissed of Daenerysbut they already have several projects in mind. This year, appears in Last Christmasthe next romantic comedy from Paul Feig in which she shared the poster with Emma Thompson, Michelle Yeoh and Henry Golding. Clarke will star in Above Suspicion, a thriller from Phillip Noyce. In addition, the actress is currently involved in two films titled The Beauty Inside, and Let Me Count the Ways.

Astrology of Now: It’s All About That Base
Shahmaran, Anatolian snake goddess of infinity and immortality.
Between January 14 and 17, there will be so many planets stacked up in one corner of the sky, that you might expect the whole cosmos to tilt with the weight of them.
Moon, Sun, Mercury, Pluto, Saturn, Venus and the Black Moon Lilith will all be in the sign of the Goat-Snake, Capricorn. That’s a lot of midwinter — and there has not been a line-up like this in a single sign in many years. During those three days, the Moon will conjunct each planet in Capricorn, one after the other — and because Mars-Jupiter, Neptune, Chiron and Uranus are also all in aspect to that huge Capricorn stellium, the Moon will trigger these too. It’s like the soup is being stirred to mix those ingredients at the bottom of the pot.
Capricorn is, of course, the sign of leadership, hard-headedness, the CEO, the chief administrator — the real deal. But it’s also a sign of magical transformation, shamanic connection, represented by the most curious creature in the entire Zodiac — half goat, half fish or serpent; a mythical beast whose upper half reaches for the top of the mountain, but whose nether regions writhe and moil in the earth or even beneath the water. That’s going from low to high.
This is the Cardinal Earth sign that begins the winter season in the North. The light is shortest now. Iit’s a time when the real contours of the land are revealed, or when they are outlined in white snow. The colours are drained away on grey days like today, or purified in stark sun, snow.
It’s the sign of reality, stony ground, rugged mountains, the Establishment.
Saturn’s return to this, his own sign, is the start of a big return to reality for us all. Saturn rules boundaries, barriers, rules, walls, hard work, achievement. Saturn, to use the late lamented Donna Cunningham’s phrase, is the “alpha dog” of this stellium — the strongest planet. The Moon talks to Saturn first and then passes the message on to each of the other planets — “wake up to reality”, “get to work”, “grow up”.
It will be interesting to see what happens in the collective over this period. President Trump’s racist remarks are part of this pattern, starkly re-inforcing what we knew about him already — his baseness. But I note also this morning the launch of “Open Banking” — “The way we bank in the UK will change forever this weekend, but very few customers are even aware of the radical shake-up our personal finances are about to undergo.” — from the Financial Times. Capricorn is, of course, associated with banks and the global economy. The last planet touched by the Moon during this Capricorn transit is Venus sextiling Chiron. There could be a question here about financial security.
The long, velvet night of the Capricorn New Moon (3am GMT, January 17) is one of the darkest of the year, a night to contemplate the bass or the base or even, the baseness or the basis — or getting back to basics.
Fabulously written as always, most enjoyable. My father passed away on January 1st, masses for him on 16th and funeral on 18th. Interestingly is transiting pluto in capricorn is squaring my natal saturn in Aries. My father was an aries. My sun is at 5 degrees capricorn, I wonder what that will bring when Saturn rolls over it?
Angelena Boden says:
I’m sorry for your loss… I hope that doesn’t sound too trite Judy.
I hope it was a good passing.
The Profiler says:
A lot of energy entangled for New Moon 17th/18th when Pluto sits at the Mercury-Sun midpoint while Pluto is trined by Jupiter. Mercury also feeds into the Mars-Uranus connection. In the political/power contexts this brings in some hard hitting communications “being brought to task’ Severe or harsh words delivering a reality check. Surely this timely combo must reach Trump [Saturn close to 24 Cancer] Impeachment is given stronger legs
I agree, Trump is getting cut off at the knees.
Great piece. My birthday (62) is Jan 16th. Yikes. I feel something big is coming.
I think it could be good big!
I have 7 points and plantets in Capricorn and the 14th is my birthday. I’m not sure I’m ready for so much planetary action.
Wow! Let us know how you’re feeling…
A bit grim – no change there 😀
I shall definitely let you know if anything changes.
Noticing the demise of Carillion…
It’s intense, to be sure.
I’m trying not to take it too personally – and now I see there’s a Solar eclipse on February 15 at 26° Aquarius, which is exactly conjunct my MC, and Chiron. Could be worse I suppose. At least I don’t work for Carillion – or the government. 😀
I’ve had so many opportunities presented to me today on the eve of my birthday and some lovely family surprises that I’m beginning to think this is good Christina… Bigly!
Feeling good?
I read a different Financial Times article about open banking today – not nearly as cheery as the one you have linked to. It looks to me like the top of a very slippery slope. The only other nation using this is China. My best wishes to you folks in navigating this, and I hope it does not come to us in the USA soon.
I think it’s a mad idea.
44 and counting says:
Pah – “open banking” … I was reading about that yesterday and how the powers that be think it’s the way to get banks to serve people better. Apparently not many people switch banks.
You know what would get me to change my bank account … a decent rate of interest.
The neo-liberal idea of getting organisations to compete against each other and the cream will rise is a broken theory. All that happens is organisations compete to cut the products and services to the barest bones to provide the cheapest service or products. It’s a race to the bottom. When all the competitors are as crappy as each other, there’s little-to-no point changing.

Stephan connecting the borehole cables Me changing the radiation sensors
On Thursday we spent most of the day in the field, and got almost everything done. Julia and I changed the radiation sensors while Stephan and Niko finished with the temperature chain for Mr Moustache the borehole (see photo). I spent ages putting the cable inside a plastic tube, and then we buried the cable. Finally, Kathrin and Thomas came with a van to help us take all the rubbish back, which involved lugging big bits of wood and metal poles up a hill. We were quite ready for dinner when we got back.
Niko working. Stephan 'helping him'. Mr Moustache the borehole
However, when Niko checked the data coming from the sensors he discovered that neither the radiation sensors nor the temperature chain were working. The next day the others went back to try and make them work, and I stayed in the office and did some model runs.
They managed to fix the radiation sensor but the temperature chain was still not working (it seems to be working now, but they have no idea why). I get the impression that this is normal when you are working in the field: you don't expect everything to work the first time. Rather like modelling, in fact.
A nice picture in the village. The red building is the bar on Saturday nights Julia and Niko on the sensor-fixing trip
We were hoping to go on a boat down the fjord to take some soil samples, but this was called off because the waves were too big to land. The same kind of soil is found right next to the village, so we will make a pit there instead, but it's a shame we didn't get to go on our boat ride and see some more of Spitzbergen.
To make up for this, we went for a hike. First we went up to the glacier behind the Bayelva field site, and walked a bit on the ice itself. It was very cool in both senses of the word. The moraines are enormous. There are also lots of nice permafrost features: stripes and sorted circles, where the bigger rocks get pushed together in lines and polygonal shapes due to frost heave processes.
Stephan and Niko on the mountain. Standing on a glacier.
Then we went to climb one of the mountains where apparently there is a way up. I wouldn't say it was really a 'way'. I also wouldn't describe so much as a mountain but more as a mountain-sized pile of scree. Anyway we got part of the way up and had a great view. There were also some pretty good fossils.
We got back in time for Saturday dinner, which is the special dinner of the week because everyone dresses up a bit and brings wine. After dinner the artist in residence showed some of her movies. I liked them, but admittedly they were quite strange - that's modern art! Then Julia made us some cocktails which we drank with glacier ice, and we all went down to the bar for the weekly party night. Lots of fun was had, and interesting things to drink involving tabasco sauce. Getting up this morning was a bit of a challenge.

ROAD WARRIOR: Should sign be added to Silverdale intersection?
Travis Baker — Apr 13th, 1999
The in basket: Janice Wisbey of Central Valley Road wrote in February to describe this episode in the middle of Silverdale:
She was heading east on Bucklin Hill Road at Silverdale Way, in the center lane, which permits either turning or going straight. A man was beside her in the outside lane.
"When the light turned green, we both proceeded and (he) immediately changed lanes and pulled in front of me, causing me to slam really hard on my brakes, enough that everything in my car went flying.
"He then started showing me some hand signals. I just shook my head. He jumped out of his car and came back to me and yelled that I was stupid because I was in the left-turn lane only and went straight through. I told him that the road was marked for either left turn or straight (and has been for some time), but he wouldn't listen. He was still so mad he went back to his car and gave me more hand signals.
"When I unloaded my groceries, I found a bottle had been broken along with a dozen eggs ruined."
She suggested a sign hanging over the intersection showing what the pavement markings show.
The out basket: If Janice's bullying antagonist is capable of embarrassment, he must have been embarrassed the next time he went through that intersection and looked at the arrows on the pavement, showing what Janice says they do.
So does the traffic signal itself, with one green light head for left and one above it for straight ahead.
That's enough notice, said Doug Bear of Kitsap County Public Works, saying no sign will be put up. Given the design of the structures on which the signals are mounted, it would be very expensive to add the sign, he said.
The in basket: Mary Buckley of South Kitsap asks why they don't make Sedgwick and Phillips roads a four-way stop. "That's not as expensive as a light," she said.
The out basket: Steve Bennett with the state highway engineering staff for this part of the state, replied, "A four-way stop works well when volumes are balanced on all approaches and the hourly volumes are less than 1,400 vehicles. The volumes at (Sedgwick) are too high for a four-way stop to work well.
"Also, a four-way stop would require traffic on the state highway to stop 24 hours a day regardless of whether there were side street demand, which is not desirable."
The in basket: Dave Grandia says, "Heading out of Gorst toward Tacoma, it is possible to make a right-hand turn on to Anderson Hill Road. During evening rush hour, the average speed through there is about 50 mph. Is it legal to cross the fog line and use the shoulder to decelerate prior to making the turn?
"If not, a right-hand turn lane should be installed to allow drivers to get out of the flow of traffic prior to slowing down."
The out basket: Steve Bennett of the state's highway engineers, says "A project is being built this summer that includes a deceleration pocket at this location."
The state law would appear to make decelerating outside the fog line illegal, though it could be made legal by simply putting up a sign saying so.

Airport Voice
News from around the cargo world
By Jeff Yapalater
Ana Lemos, Station Manager Brussels Airlines, shares new contract information with Kim Yan, VP Sales, Worldwide Flight Services.
Photo by Jeff Yapalater
Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) has been acquired by Cerberus Equities.
Triangle Equities
Announced the $25.4 million acquisition of a development site located near John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York. The project site is to be developed as a state-of-the-art, approximately 300,000-square-foot, multi-level industrial building. The facility will be the first multi-level, multi-tenant air cargo and distribution facility in New York City
Nippon Cargo
Japanese specialist air cargo carrier Nippon Cargo Airlines (NCA) has been forced to ground its fleet of 11 B747 freighters after government inspectors uncovered incorrect maintenance records, writes Nigel Tomkins.
The Tokyo (Narita)-based cargo airline is also facing possible future disciplinary measures for violating international safety standards. The subsidiary of marine shipping company Nippon Yusen grounded its fleet of 11 aircraft – three B747-400Fs and eight B747-8 freighters – while it checks for further discrepancies in the company’s logs.
UPS Wage contract
UPS has agreed a settlement in principle with negotiators for the Teamsters union, presenting ground staff and delivery drivers at the US parcels and logistics giant.
The new contract provides hourly wage increases totaling $4.15 spread out over five years and raises the starting wage for part-time workers to $13 an hour as of August 1.
A Teamsters union statement said: “The National Negotiating Committee has agreed to a settlement in principle on the National Master Agreement (NMA), subject to the resolution of supplemental agreements and approval by UPS local unions.
Bitcoin. FreightHub is now allowing its air cargo and logistics customers to make payments with Bitcoin, claims the popular crypto-currency is advantageous for processing shipments around the world because payments are not only very fast but are also “easy to verify due to blockchain technology”.
The current way of transferring payments has significant historical disadvantages, such as overcoming national borders, or idle waiting times at weekends for example – none of which are affected by Bitcoin payments, the asset-free forwarder points out.
“Currently, a lot of time is wasted in international business transactions since all orders can only be fulfilled after the successful verification of payments,” reveals Erik Muttersbach, founder and chief technology officer (CTO) of FreightHub,
Pharma facility
MNX Global Logistics has opened a pharma logistics facility in New York, located next to JFK International Airport.
This healthcare and life sciences supply chain facility will serve as the operations and warehousing hub for the forwarder’s pharma and medical device customers throughout the northeast US region.
“The demand for our services particularly in biologics, cold-chain and medical device logistics in the Northeast has seen tremendous growth in the past 12 months,” said Paul Martins, MNX chief executive and president.
Security screening set
After nearly eight years of starts, stops and delays, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has finally implemented its much-debated Air Cargo Advanced Screening (ACAS) program, requiring all carriers of commercial cargo to report electronic airfreight data to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) before the cargo is loaded onto aircraft bound for the United States.
According to CBP, the ACAS program is intended “to address ongoing aviation security threats,” and has been tested in a long-running pilot project, in which certain carriers participated voluntarily in submitting air cargo data, such as the air waybill number, the shipper’s name and address, the consignee’s name and address, and a short description of the cargo, including its quantity and weight.
Going Google
Google has invested $550 million in Beijing-based JD.com, giving the Silicon Valley giant greater access to services for global markets, including Southeast Asia, the United States, and Europe. The partnership is illustrative of both a growing focus on cross-border e-commerce, and the tendency of dominant e-tailers in various regions to increasingly look beyond their home markets for growth.
Alibaba hubs
Alibaba’s logistics-affiliate, Cainiao, announced plans to open five global hubs in Asia, Europe and the Middle East “to meet the surging cross-border e-commerce needs”. Today, Hangzhou-based Cainiao unveiled a separate $1.5 billion investment in a joint-venture logistics center at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA),
Cargolux trophy ban
Luxembourg-based all-cargo carrier Cargolux has banned the transportation of wild game, otherwise known as “hunting trophies,” to take effect immediately.
“This practice does not align with the company’s ethical engagements and policies,” said Richard Forson, CEO of Cargolux, stating that the carrier is “committed to building a sustainable business model,” including environment preservation.
This decision comes after a wave of airlines renounced their participation in the trade of hunting trophies in 2015, following the controversial hunting of Cecil the Lion, a beloved pillar of the community and tourist attraction in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe. Dozens of carriers, including Delta, United and American Airlines, changed their policies to prohibit transporting the controversial cargo.
Alaska hot
Alaska Air Cargo is expecting cargo capacity to increase by 40 per cent in the US following its merger with Virgin America.
Starting tomorrow (19 June), the belly space in 71 Airbus aircraft will be utilised to provide customers with new shipping destinations and increased frequencies throughout the Alaska Airlines network.
Before the merger Virgin America did not provide a cargo service but now customers will be able to ship products including fresh seafood, e-commerce and other time-sensitive materials.
New Amerijet director
Amerijet Miami-headquartered all-cargo airline Amerijet has named Glen Gates director of charter sales, responsible for overseeing the growth and diversification of that side of the carrier’s business.
The appointment is intended to “fortify the entire Amerijet senior management team and help take the company to the next level of charter sales”, said Derry Huff, Amerijet’s vice president of strategic initiatives.
Delta director
Delta Air Lines Cargo has appointed Lindsey Jalil as managing director – commercial. She replaces Kristin Colvile, who was recently promoted to chief executive officer and managing director, SkyTeam.
Joining Delta in 2005, for the past eight years, Jalil has been part of the operations analysis and performance team where, as managing director since 2015, she implemented data management systems and supported Delta’s operating divisions.
Cyber Chief.US-based freighter lessor Atlas Air Worldwide (AAWW) has announced the election of cybersecurity expert Jane Lute and experienced business leader Sheila Stamps to the company’s board of directors.

Big Baptist group urges ouster of Boy Scout execs
By Daniel Burke, CNN Belief Blog Co-Editor
[twitter-follow screen_name='BurkeCNN']
(CNN) - The Southern Baptist Convention, the country's second largest church, said Boy Scout executives who pushed to allow openly gay Scouts without properly consulting members should be ousted from office.
In a resolution approved Wednesday at their annual meeting, Southern Baptist leaders stopped short of urging churches to cut ties with local troops in protest of the Scouting change, but didn't encourage them to stay, either.
Either way, the historic decision to allow gay Scouts could "complicate basic understandings of male friendships, needlessly politicize human sexuality, and heighten sexual tensions within the Boy Scouts,” the Baptist resolution says.
The Boy Scouts of America initially planned to lift its longtime ban on openly gay youth without canvassing members, Southern Baptists charged in a resolution that passed overwhelmingly.
The executives behind that plan should be removed, the Baptists said.
With 16 million members in some 45,000 congregations, the Southern Baptist Convention is the country’s largest Protestant denomination.
Baptists as a whole, including several smaller denominations, sponsor about 4,000 Scouting units representing 100,000 youths.
“We have a deep respect for the Southern Baptist Convention and its churches that use Scouting in their youth ministries,” said Deron Smith, a spokesman for the Boy Scouts of America.
“Scouting’s youth member policy is not about the BSA condoning homosexuality, or forcing its chartered organizations to do the same.”
After BSA leaders floated the idea of allowing gay youths in January, more than 60% of the BSA's 1,400-member national council approved the change in May. It takes effect Jan. 1.
The BSA will continue to prohibit any sexual conduct - heterosexual or homosexual - among its youth. The ban on openly gay leaders continues as well.
Membership in Boy Scouts has declined nearly 20% since 1999. About 2.7 million young people now participate nationwide.
Boy Scouts to allow gay youths to join
Smith said opening membership to gay youth “allows Scouting to be more compassionate in its response to a young person who expresses a same-sex attraction.”
Faith-based organizations charter more than 70% of Scout chapters, providing meeting space and leadership, according to the BSA.
Several of the largest religious sponsors, including the Mormon church, the United Methodist Church and the Roman Catholic Church, have indicated that they do not plan to disaffiliate from the BSA.
Still, many conservative congregations, particularly Southern Baptists, have pledged to cut ties with local troops, and some pastors on Wednesday called on the entire denomination to do likewise.
“We should stand firmly and keep ourselves from having to revisit this issue in future years,” Pastor Mike Janz of First Baptist Church of Rosamond, California, said Wednesday at the Baptist meeting.
Janz’s proposal to urge all Southern Baptists to disaffiliate from the Scouts was handily defeated Wednesday.
Still, some top Southern Baptist leaders predict that congregations will leave the Scouts "en masse."
Baptists plan exodus from Boy Scouts
Pastor Charlie Dale of Indian Springs First Baptist Church in Alabama said churches and Scouts should help, not bar, boys who believe they are gay.
“Such a boy needs love,” Dale said. “So let’s bring him in and show him what biblical manhood and real love is about.”
Affiliating with Scout troops also provides an avenue for evangelism, said Pastor David Uth of Orlando.
“We are very happy to partner (with Scouts) because it gives us access to more families and more boys to share the life-saving gospel of Jesus Christ.”
Russell Moore, the new head of the SBC’s powerful Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, called Uth’s approach “wise and gospel-focused.”
“This isn’t Disney redux, as some media predicted,” Moore tweeted.
The Southern Baptists' resolution encourages churches to consider the denomination's homegrown Scouting alternative, the Royal Ambassadors, a Christian group dedicated to developing "godly young men."
Meanwhile, liberal churches pledged to sponsor troops disowned by conservative congregations.
For every host organization that has decided to sever ties with their troop, eight to 10 new ones have invited the Boy Scouts into their community, according to Jeff Fulcher, spokesman for the Atlanta Area Council of the BSA.
"This membership issue is a sensitive issue with a lot of people in our community,” Fulcher said. “Some can't continue supporting the scouting programs. But the vast majority of the Scouts in our organization still want to continue scouting, and we've had a wide variety of churches, places of worship and civic organizations reaching out to us because they want scouting programs in their neighborhoods.”
One such church is the One World Spiritual Center in Marietta, Georgia, where the community extended an invitation to Boys Scout troops soon to lose their meeting place.
The Rev. Stephanie Seigh, head of the One World, said the church decided invite the Scouts after learning that Southern Baptists nearby refused to continue hosting their troops.
“We teach our children that God is in everyone and everything. We don't discriminate," Seigh told CNN.

EXPLAINING AWAY MARK 16:16
Faith only believer want Mark 16:16 to just go away. It will not go away, so they try to explain it away. Over 100 translations of the Bible include Mark 16:16, however, that does deter some faith only believers from insinuating or simply stating that Mark 16:16 should not be including in the Bible because it was missing from a couple of manuscripts. If you believe God has a hand in guiding men to translate the Bible correctly, then have to believe Mark 16:16 should be included. If you do not believe the Bible has been translated accurately, then I would suggest that you burn all of your Bibles.
EXPLAINING AWAY
Mark 16:16 He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.
The most popular way of explaining away Mark 16:16 is to say that it does not say, that he who has not been baptized will be condemned, therefore water baptism is not essential to be saved.
If a secular law were written as such: He who does not commit robbery and does not murder will not go to prison; but he who commits robbery will go to jail. Would that mean you can still murder and not go to jail; because it does not state murderers will go to jail? NOT MURDERING IS ESSENTIAL TO NOT GOING TO JAIL!
Being baptized is essential to not being condemned.
There have been many attempts to explain water baptism away from Mark 16:16, including denying that, and, is a conjunction linking belief and baptism. Many attempts at distorting the simple meaning of words and sentence structure are used. Grammatical distortions are used in order to make Mark 16:16 fit the "faith only" narrative.
HAS BEEN BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED, STILL MEANS WATER BAPTISM IS ESSENTIAL FOR SALVATION NO MATTER HOW MEN TRY TO EXPLAIN IT AWAY.

Atheism is not healthy for children and other living things
Prayer changes things'
N. Onbeliever
"Atheism is not healthy for children and other living things" Let's see the 'science' that led to that conclusion... No, I didn't think so.
Lyndia
It boils down to this: If you want your child to be a scout, enroll him. If you don't want your child in scouting, don't enroll him.
Yes, Jesus hung out with the tax collectors and the sinners to make a radical change in them ; which of course, only he could do.
When Jesus enters a persons life, it has a purpose, a meaning; there is a transformation. For some this transformation is radical. That is the power of Jesus in the lives of sinners.
Good. Time to get the delusional hypocrites out of scouting.

The Lucky Country – part eight: a servile culture – what can be changed and what can’t
Posted on November 12, 2019 by philstanfield under Australian culture, Australian servility, Australian shame
A 1908 postcard welcoming the ‘Great White Fleet’ to Australia
From the skirts of Mother Britannia to the coat-tails of Uncle Sam, from ‘I did but see her passing by…’ to ‘All the way with LBJ.’
In 1908 when Roosevelt’s ‘Great White Fleet’ came to Sydney, Pitt Street was renamed ‘America Avenue’ and the American sailors and marines marched along it.
From http://greatwhitefleet.us/sydney_australia/
‘Friday morning the 28th was planned for the parade. Initially the authorities expected the bluejackets and marines to parade without arms. When Admiral Sperry found out, he interceded letting it be known that it would be something of a clownish charter to have 2,500 men march through the city without arms. They would probably end up throwing kisses to pretty girls and raising high jinks despite the efforts of their officers. He won the day and sailors got their arms. Landing a naval brigade at Farm Cove and Woolloomooloo Bay the next day, sailors were mustered at the public domain, a short distance from the Government House and waited for the public reception to end. Upon which they were marched up Pitt Street, which had been renamed America Avenue during fleet week, and the leading thoroughfares of the city in the presence of a madly cheering crowd. No such enthusiasm had been witnessed by Americans in any parade since the day George Dewey came back and marched down 5th Avenue in New York City.’
In 1942, during the ‘desperate and vicious’ fighting of the Kokoda Track campaign in Papua New Guinea ‘approximately 625 Australians were killed…and over 1,600 were wounded. Casualties due to sickness exceeded 4,000.’
http://www.awm.gov.au/units/event_291.asp
In 1957, the American title ‘Kokoda Trail’ ‘was adopted by the Battles Nomenclature Committee as the official British Commonwealth battle honour’. ‘Trail’ is the word used in article headings on the War Memorial website. http://www.awm.gov.au/units/event_247.asp.
Yet, in the article ‘The Kokoda “Track” or “Trail”?’ http://www.awm.gov.au/blog/2009/07/27/the-kokoda-track-or-trail/?query=kokoda+track it states ‘This use of “track” is reflected in the new maps that were produced by army survey units in September and October; on these maps, all routes across the Owen Stanley Range were referred to as “tracks”. The terrain study Main routes across New Guinea, printed by the Allied Geographic Section in October 1942, similarly describes the route from Port Moresby via Kokoda to Buna as a “track”.
The overwhelming majority of soldiers who fought the campaign also used “track”. In a survey of unit war diaries, letters and personal diaries written during the campaign, Peter Provis, a Memorial summer scholar, found that the word “trail” was used only once in a war diary, in the 2/31st Battalion on 11 September 1942. There were, however, also references to “track”.’
From http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/theatre/dobber-brings-down-curtain-on-belvoirs-take-on-miller-20121016-27p4w.html
The Sydney Morning Herald, 17.10.12
‘Dobber brings down curtain on Belvoir’s take on Miller’
‘Popular theatre company Belvoir raises the ire of one of the biggest holders of theatrical rights in the world with ‘cavalier’ change.
Sydney’s Belvoir theatre company has been forced to reinstate the final scene of Arthur Miller’s famed Death of a Salesman after an anonymous tip-off to the US agent that handles the rights about changes made to the local production.’
The lucky country: part four
Posted on October 28, 2019 by philstanfield under Australian culture, Ideology
Donald Horne, The Lucky Country – Australia in the Sixties, Angus and Robertson, 1965 (first published in 1964)
p. 194 ‘It is of interest that intellectuals – who almost universally oppose censorship of the kind of books that they themselves want to read – hardly ever deplore the censorship of ordinary people’s reading matter, and sometimes even support it.’
‘Although Australia is one of the most prosperous countries in the world it runs only fifteenth in percentage of G.N.P. spent on education.’
209 ‘in Australia, as a strong and publicly influential type of person. “intellectuals” do not exist…People who might be described as intellectuals are assuming enormous importance almost everywhere in the world except in Australia. It seems unlikely that such a situation will last in Australia. In fact it is now changing.’
210 Horne wrote of ‘creative intelligences’ with ‘new visions’ who have been frustrated in a society whose structure does not allow for the concept of originality’
Horne wrote that where Australia has been weak in matters of intellect has been in a lack of serious consideration of human destiny and in prolonged consideration of the Australian condition.
213 ‘What is lacking among Australians is a real feel for the history of the human race, and a sense of belonging to a long-lasting intellectual community that reaches its great moments when it seeks out in wonder towards the mysteries of its environment, that has concerned itself with more momentous problems than the nature of Australia but whose present members could well take this question up in the light of the history of human knowledge.’
‘it is Australians’ failure to understand the tragic (or the comic) in life that may place them at a disadvantage in a world in which happiness is largely still hard to achieve. It is as if a ‘cultured’ Australian rejects the Australian concept of happiness because it is not in the culture he has ‘learned’; at the same time he is still sufficiently a ‘happy’ Australian not to absorb the reality of horror and tragedy in the culture he has ‘learned’. He is declasse, unable to talk to other Australians of the culture he has ‘learned’ because he lacks a real feel for both it and his own society.’
Australians know how fragile their concept of ‘happiness’ is, how easily it could be lost, as it has been before (in the Depressions of the 1890s and 1930s and the two world wars). This knowledge gives their ‘innocence’ a mean and determined edge (e.g. in their response to asylum seekers and particularly to the sinking of SIEV X – 353 people drowned on the fluctuating borders of Australia. If you arrive here, quietly and without ‘drama’, as a refugee on a plane – as do the great majority – that won’t be noticed, but if you arrive desperate and dishevelled on an open, sinking boat, that is too clearly a reminder of the suffering in the world and to be opposed, rejected. The outcry in Australia over inhumane behaviour in the immediate region has been greater regarding the manner of slaughtering ‘our’ cattle in Indonesia – a nation both Asian and predominantly Islamic). Horne is correct when he wrote that ‘happiness’ is an addiction – one is addicted to it because one refuses to deal with the relentless challenges of global reality and change and because one lives in an isolated nation with the overall affluence to do so. Intellectual vision is another threat to this affluent, ‘innocent’ happiness – structured on authoritarian, unquestioning conformism.
214 Horne writes of the Australian intellectual’s ‘addiction to happiness’
The Lucky Country: living on our luck
‘Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second-rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people’s ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise. A nation more concerned with styles of life than with achievement has managed to achieve what may be the most evenly prosperous society in the world. It has done this in a social climate largely inimical to originality and the desire for excellence (except in sport) and in which there is less and less acclamation of hard work. According to the rules Australia has not deserved its good fortune.’
219 The two fields where reliance on luck are not going to work:
– Australia’s strategic environment
– the demands of technology (Australia must profoundly change its life patterns – if this does not happen, ‘the present kind of Australia will go under’)
220 ‘Will (Australia) rid itself of the belief that…nothing happens to it, that it is safe from the unpleasantness of history? Perhaps Australians are…too concerned with happiness to understand the possibilities of tragedy, projecting their illusions onto others. The possibility haunts one like a bad dream that Australians may go on being silly…’
222 ‘In most industrialised countries cleverness and skill are part of the national ethos, even if they share it with contradictory elements. In Australia they play no part in it…When most Australians think of their economic growth they think that people should work harder…a revolutionary change in attitudes towards life is needed’
‘the obsessive desire to define Australian characteristics in terms of the upsurge of the 1890’s instead of as a dynamic process…(To admit that generations can change would be to admit that a static concept of an ‘Australian’, based on the writings of the 1890’s, is false.) And the continuing dominance of old ideas..’
Excellent point – the obsessive desire to define Australia against the (loss, failure and defeats of the) past rather than as a dynamic process continues – not only with regard to Gallipoli but also the military victory of Kokoda. Australians continue to define themselves against the past instead of dynamically, in relation to the future.
224 ‘the pretence of sameness’
228 ‘the shock (when it comes) of declaring Australia a republic’
230 ‘Australia’s population problem will be solved in what may be the only way it can finally be solved – by large-scale Asian migration.’
The lucky country: part three
Posted on October 15, 2019 by philstanfield under Australian culture, Australian servility, Australian shame, convict culture, Ideology, tall poppy syndrome, Western supremacism, White supremacism
pp. 32-33 ‘What often perishes altogether – in the bureaucracies of business or of government or in the universities and in such intellectual communities as exist – are originality, insight and sensitivity, the creative sources of human activity. In an imitative country no one has to be creative; the creative person is likely to be confronted with distrust – not perhaps in science or the arts, but almost everywhere else…With their distrust for Australian originality and their ignorance of the world the men who run Australia often have a peculiarly narrow view of ranges of the possible…It is not the people who are stupid but their masters, who cling to power but fail to lead.’
46 ‘The official beliefs of Australians are essentially humanist’
47 ‘Anzac Day (the Australian folk festival)…The beliefs associated with Anzac are more Stoic than Christian.’
56 Horne paraphrased the diary entry of Mrs. Marcel Dekyvere, chairman of the Black and White Ball Committee (in 1964) in response to a sermon titled ‘I Have a Dream’ – ‘We must all keep our dreams, even if sometimes they don’t come true. Don’t you agree?’
Martin Luther King gave his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech on 28.08.1963
61 ‘discussion on Australian literature is sometimes better informed in the American universities that have taken it up than in some of the Australian universities.’
76 ‘On 27 December 1941, John Curtin made the single most significant statement ever made by an Australian Prime Minister: “Without any inhibitions of any kind, I make it quite clear that Australia looks to America”.’
81 ‘Menzies was more British than the British, always running several years behind London, expressing dreams of Commonwealth that had something of the flavour of progressive discussion in 1908.’
On Australia’s relations with the U.S. Horne wrote ‘Australians are used to being insignificant and relying on the power of others.’
83 ‘it seems likely that Australia could enter into a quite massive relationship with America without generating any politically effective anti-Americanism among ordinary Australians’
Australians are suspicious of all idealism: ‘What’s in it for him?’
I would add that Australians pride themselves on their cynicism, failing to distinguish between what it is – a corrosive poison – and a healthy skepticism.
88 ‘In the past Australia has also displayed the other side of provincialism: the boastfulness and arrogance of the liberated province, parading its very provincialism as if it were homegrown.’
101 ‘Despite its internal democracy, Australia plays an aristocratic role in the society of Asia – rich, self-centred, frivolous, blind…Given the huge area it has to defend, Australia is defenceless against a major power.’
‘There is not very much real feel for Asia (in Australia).’
107 The words ‘White Australia Policy’ were removed from the Labor Party platform in 1965.
112 ‘if Australia is to play a more forceful role in Asia the change must be dramatic enough to impress Asians that it is a change. It would seem a comparatively simple method to enter into migration agreements with Asian countries that might meet any of their own fears and that would set up clear public standards of assimilability – of language, education and working capacity…My own view is that the future holds dramatic possibilities for Australia which may necessarily include racial change, that this is Australia’s ‘destiny’. It is going to happen one way or the other. It is a task that will be undertaken either by Australians, or by someone else.’
120 ‘Of the top hundred Australian firms at least two thirds are overseas controlled.’
121 ‘Not that Australia has ever spent much on research and development anyway…This indifference to research and development goes beyond the question of foreign ownership.’
122 ‘The very idea of clever, expert men thinking up new things to do is one that is repulsive to many Australian businessmen…in such matters Australian businessmen often treat their own countrymen with the scorn that the colonialists used to treat those they exploited: you can’t expect the natives to have ideas.’
125 Horne on the suspicion of Australians to original Australian ideas
130 ‘Several generations of Australians were taught to venerate not lions or eagles or other aggressive symbols of nationalism; they were taught to venerate sheep.’
136 ‘the things modern Australians are really interested in – getting homes, raising their children, going on holidays.’
Horne went on to add: ‘What one does witness in Australia is…”the institutionalisation of mediocrity”…established rhetoricians and ideology makers’
145 Australia took its federal structure from the U.S. – with a House of Representatives, a Senate and a federal court that interpreted a written constitution.
146 In certain senses, Australia is a province of two external powers (the UK and the US).
Still clutching at the skirts of Mother Britannia, Australians, in an Asian sphere, cling to the coat-tails of Uncle Sam – the latter two nations generated from the first. The pervasive shame associated with this Australian servility is the source of the projection known as ‘tall poppy syndrome’ – ‘Because I am on my knees, I will ensure that you are on yours!’
177 ‘if intellectuals wish to walk down the corridors of power in Australia they must leave their intellectuality at home. As in business, to pretend to some stupidity is safest.’
190 Exposing the often repeated excuse – that ‘we are only a small nation’:
Horne, quoting Irving Kristol’s review of the first edition of The Lucky Country, emphasised the importance of leadership that could enable a people to create ‘better than they know’ and of appreciating their creation, without which that people would not only be far poorer in their self-definition but would be blissfully unaware of their poverty. Leadership enables the discernment of a promise and a potentiality that becomes integral to their way of life.

5 ‘A cult of informality derived from a deep belief in the essential sameness and ordinariness of mankind’
‘Anzac Day is the Festival of the Ordinary Man; Christmas the Festival of Family; New Year the Festival of the Good Time.’

6 In 1886, J.A. Froude said of Australians: ‘It is hard to quarrel with men who only wish to be innocently happy.’
Horne wrote that Australia is strongly inimical to ideas.
7 ‘Throughout the world the basis of material prosperity in the future is likely to lie, for the first time in history, with clever, educated people.’ Horne added that in Australia cleverness can be considered un-Australian.
14 ‘Australians love a “battler”, an underdog who is fighting the top dog, although their veneration for him is likely to pass if he comes out from under. At work – among the unambitious – the feeling for underdogs runs very strong.’
18 ‘Australians like people to be ordinary…To be different is considered an affectation.’
18-19 Horne believes that Australians embody ‘a complex of resentments against difference…It is only when a difference stares them in the face that ordinary Australians become truculent; and then only in a personal way.’
26-27 ‘This cynicism beneath purpose feeds our notorious philistinism…the Australian is cynical and self-denigratory towards himself as well as towards the world he sees around him…This deeply inlaid scepticism is a genuine philosophy of life, a national style determining individual and group actions. Its influence can be detected throughout Australian society. It may be the most pervasive single influence operating on Australians.’
‘What they find it difficult to do is to imagine the new for themselves.’
32 ‘The passion for egalitarianism may combine with the passion for scepticism to hide and often frustrate talent.’
‘Much energy is wasted in pretending to be stupid. To appear ordinary, just like everybody else, is sometimes a necessary condition for success in Australia.’

‘Watch the so-called leaders of this nation and you will see only this: a group of gluttonous men and women who flip and flop, not on principles but the search for power. Vanity and self-importance. Two days in the news.
All this is creating a very ordinary nation. Timid, without vision but prepared to get what they want with no consideration of the ramifications. That is the Australian cricket team; perfectly shaded representatives of modern Australia.’

61 ‘The swing between submission and assertiveness has lost its extremism, but the final conquest of the colonial problem has not yet been achieved…We are still not quite sure whether to be proud or ashamed of ourselves.’
62 ‘The Australian temperament is essentially pragmatic – a quality which is sometimes mistaken for materialism. In truth the Australian does not ignore spiritual values provided they are plain, direct and assessable. His limitation lies in an obstinate bondage to the positive, a preference for the sum with an answer verifiable in the back pages of the book. He turns aside, scornfully and yet timidly, from the glories and terrors of the incertitudes, from the exaltations of the mysteries. Such a conception as Andre Gide’s Return of the Prodigal is scarcely imaginable as the product of an Australian mind. Consequently we escape that cooling and thinning of humanity which afflicts the Gide type, but we cannot achieve Gide’s kind of depth and reverberation. Yet the incertitudes and the mysteries, the excitement of the sum which never comes out, are the food and wine of the artist, whatever his country…Only when the contour-smoothing erosions of time have reconciled us to the acceptance of mystery will the colonial dilemma be finally solved.’
From the Notes
1 ‘It is perhaps relevant to quote here the opinion of Professor A.G. Mitchell of the Sydney University that Australians are the only Anglo-Saxon community which is ashamed of having its own way of pronouncing the English language.’
56 Horne paraphrased the diary entry of Mrs. Marcel Dekyvere, chairman of the Black and White Ball Committee (in 1964) in response to a sermon titled “I Have a Dream” ’ – ‘We must all keep our dreams, even if sometimes they don’t come true. Don’t you agree?’

How bleak is our valley
Posted on August 12, 2016 by philstanfield under Australian culture, Australian servility, Australian shame, convict culture, Creativity, tall poppy syndrome
Graeme Philipson
I write this column from Santa Clara, in the heart of Silicon Valley. That term describes the collection of small cities straddling the San Andreas fault, south of San Francisco.
The name was coined by US journalist Don Hoefler in 1971. Locals call it “The Valley”. When I first came here nearly 30 years ago, I was very excited. I had visions of some sort of technological utopia, a land where computer dreams came true and you could pick up microchips off the street.
Somehow I thought it would be something special. I was sadly disappointed. Special things do happen in Silicon Valley, but the place itself looks like anywhere else in urban America.
That means it’s a collection of shopping malls, corporate parks, warehouses, fast-food joints and the like, all criss-crossed with freeways.
Lots of people live in the Valley, although you won’t ever see their houses while driving around. They are hidden by high walls.
At the southern end of Silicon Valley is the city of San Jose, some way down Highway 101 from San Francisco’s dreary southern suburbs. That is one of the most congested and least attractive stretches of freeway in North America, which is saying something.
Silicon Valley is a boring-looking and overcrowded place. Its appearance hardly measures up to its worldwide reputation as the birthplace of the computer revolution.
So much for the complaining. Never let it be said that I’m anti-American. I married an American, and my son carries a US passport. My real complaint is not with Silicon Valley’s ugly appearance and unattractive highways, but with my own country.
Why is there no Silicon Valley in Australia? It’s not just the scale of the US. There are other factors.
Nondescript though they may be, the cities and towns that form Silicon Valley house many of the most interesting and innovative companies in the IT industry. The area has lost none of its allure, and it remains the Mecca of tech hopefuls around the world.
They are drawn by companies such as Yahoo and Google. They are drawn by Hewlett-Packard and Oracle and Apple and Sun, and by small hardware and software start-ups in their hundreds.
They are drawn by the world class research facilities, such as Xerox’s famous Palo Alto Research Centre, and IBM’s Santa Theresa labs, and by Stanford University. They are drawn by the analysts and consultancies and PR and market research companies that thrive on all this stuff.
If you want to get into films, you go to Hollywood. Advertising: New York. If you want to get into computers, you go to Silicon Valley.
The Valley has made millionaires of thousands of people. The first were Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard, who gave their names to what has become the world’s largest IT company. (Did you know HP is now bigger than IBM?)
Silicon Valley spawned Apple Computer, through which Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak rewrote the American dream. It spawned Sun Microsystems, which continues to prove that “the network is the computer”. (Sun, by the way, was originally an acronym for Stanford University Network).
We only hear about the successes, and some of the more spectacular failures. For every winner, there are a dozen losers. Small companies we have never heard of regularly disappear into oblivion, taking with them the hopes and dreams of thousands of intelligent individuals.
At least for a while. People in Silicon Valley know that not every good idea will translate into money. The philosophy is to keep trying until one does. And those who do succeed tend not to stop there; they get up and do it all again.
One of the driving forces behind Silicon Valley has been the willingness of these people to have a go, and the willingness of others to give them a go. There is no shortage of angel investors and venture capitalists who will take a punt on a good idea.
Try to do that in Australia: the clever country, the land of the fair go. Bankers and financiers here want to see bricks and mortar, or a warehouse full of stock, before they’ll lend you money.
They simply don’t understand, as the Americans have for years, that assets in the information age are very different from those of the previous era. Australian banks are still coming to terms with the industrial revolution, which ended some time ago.
That is why there is no Silicon Valley in Australia. Our country is littered with the corpses of companies that tried and failed to do what hundreds of companies in Mountain View and Sunnyvale and Menlo Park have done.
Some Australian companies have succeeded, such as Mincom and NetComm and Software Developments. But many more have failed, sometimes through bad management or bad luck, but more often because of a troglodytic investment climate, small-minded bankers who are happy to gamble on the promise of real estate development but who lack the foresight and intelligence to understand how the centre of balance in the economy has moved from physical objects to information.
Information is an asset, as we all know. But it is a very different type of asset than coal or buildings or iron ore or wheat. The difference is that information can be infinitely reproduced, which means its value lies not in its generation but in its propagation.
They’ve known that for two generations in Silicon Valley. But governments in Australia, and the gnomes of Collins Street and Martin Place, are still stuck in an industrial era, antediluvian mindset.
And now it’s too late.
Dear Graeme,
Your well titled and refreshing, important, more – necessary – article ‘How bleak is our valley’ in yesterday’s Herald lays the responsibility for what you wrote about at the feet of troglodytes who run the banks.
In The Lucky Country Horne, delicately positioning his argument between the denial of the existence of a capitalist class and the avoidance of the depth and extent of ugliness in his subject, referred to Australia’s ‘troglodyte past’. Like you, he held responsible ‘men in power’.
Peter Conrad, in his Boyer lectures a few years ago, most academic and weak, while acknowledging a provincial past, argued that Australian culture has, as it were, ‘moved into the modern era’.
Shelley Gare’s ‘the Triumph of the Airheads’ details the impact of consumerism and capitalist ‘movers and shakers’ on primarily urban Australian society.
But these men in power, these ‘small-minded’ bankers of whom you write also exist in other cultures. And Howard himself is not an aberration, an excrescence. As Judith Brett correctly argued, he not only understands this culture at a gut level, he has risen from and plays the ‘middle’ – like a Paganini.
Short of socialist revolution, it is Australian culture itself that needs to be taken by the throat and exposed, analysed and acted on for Australians to begin systematically addressing the failure you deplore.
The dominant Anglo-Saxon based culture in this country has at its heart the poison of shame – and therefore the need to shame. It has at its heart a feeling of inferiority, reflected in an astonishingly subtle servility to the dominant world power (the shifts in the pronunciation of ‘Iraq’ by Australians since the first Gulf War – notably those in the media – replicating that of Bush, not as Iraqis or Arabs pronounce it – and as all Australians used to pronounce it, is a study in how servile this culture is) while displaying a bullying arrogance in the region.
The clearest manifestation of this disease, ‘for all the world to see’, was during the closing ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games when the packed stadium sang as a hymn, by ‘candlelight’, and repeatedly, Australia’s de facto national anthem (with its reference to prostitution – ‘waltzing Matilda’ – and possibly the first example of product placement – for Billy Tea), ‘celebrating’ (?!) the suicide of a failed petty thief as he ran from authority.
Compare this song with ‘John Brown’s Body’ and the events on which it was based. Or with another de facto national anthem – ‘Flower of Scotland’ – which, even though it refers to an eventual military defeat, is about a people who stood, and won, against a far stronger power. And of those Australians who know or sense this ‘cringe’ in ‘Waltzing Matilda’ – it fuels their meanness.
This culture that prides itself on its capacity to ‘celebrate’ has at its heart the celebration of loss, failure and defeat – from that of Leichhardt to Burke and Wills to Ned Kelly to Breaker Morant to Waltzing Matilda to Dad and Dave, to the letters in the first capitalist world war over the re-division of areas of exploitation from Private Jones at Gallipoli to his mother, to Lasseter to Les Darcy to Phar Lap to Whitlam on the steps of Parliament House to Australian Story… Noble all, in the face of loss, failure and defeat.
And of the ‘tall poppy’ syndrome: it is not that one thinks one stands above another, that one ‘looks down’ on them, it is that that other and at some level knowingly, perceiving any degree of the potential or vision of which you write, on their knees inevitably reacts – as they look up. It was not merely the Minister for Public Works who drove Utzon from these shores, it was the clash of an authoritarian culture which profoundly values ‘the ordinary,’ with a man who lived for intellectual vision.
This country continues to be, overall, an intellectually sleepy ‘paradise’, riding on the broad back of assorted resources as it clings to the coat-tails of Uncle Sam, while still clutching at the skirts of Mother Britannia – rather than, as Horne pointed out, showing responsibility and independence – with all that those concepts entail.
When Moses strode down from Kosciuszko, he bore two weighty tablets on his hips. On one were the words which are the underbelly of Australian egalitarianism: ‘Thus Far and No Further’ – ‘sympathy for the underdog’, until the second the underdog shows even a hint of rising (during the Sydney Olympics, in the superbly titled and watched by record audiences ‘The Dream’ of H.G. Nelson and Roy Slaven, Doyle said ‘If it rises above a blade of grass, cut it down.’).
This divine rule was riveted in place by the other cultural imperative on the second tablet: ‘(As Ye Worketh Record Hours Per Week, to Consume) Thou Shalt be Laid Back’ – implicitly, ‘Thou shalt not dream’, ‘Thou shalt not be passionate for intellectual vision’, which passion is clear in your article.
Passion for dreams not motivated by consumption, for intellectual excellence that goes beyond dotted ‘i’s, crossed ‘t’s and referencing to the hilt, that truly takes one’s society forward, has at the least the same effect in Australian culture, far more often than not, as do the headlights of a ute bearing down on a rabbit in the middle of a dusty road, and at worst, the triggering of a retributive antipathy.
Fools see it, correctly, as a threat, a disturbance to their paradise, to their myopia, to their littleness – ‘If I even acknowledge let alone praise you for your dreams, for your commitment to vision – particularly intellectual – the pressure is immediately on me to face my shame, my ‘inferiority’, my spiritual apathy, and to dream and aspire beyond my narrow bounds of consumption and certainty. Too much.’
Art colleges are filled with ambitious young, eager to produce something ‘edgy.’ They should sit in any mall on the week-end and watch and learn as the couples pass, pushing their trolleys. In those trolleys, packed full of consumables, sits their child or sit their children, clinging to the bars and looking out at the world. Now that’s edgy, and without the parents even aware of it…
Culture is not the sum total of a people’s achievements, it is the attitude in a society to what is not known, to what has not been achieved. It is a basis in the present not of the past but for the future.
Congratulations on your article. May it stimulate responses and may there be many more such on this and other areas.
Philip Stanfield

Plato books for a philosophy newcomer
I watched a funny philosophy crash course on youtube, and I'm very curious about Plato. As a beginner, where should I start? Original work? Other author's books about his philosophy?
plato greeks
Geoffrey Thomas♦
Alex AlonsoAlex Alonso
There's nothing wrong with commentators but at some point, you'll do well to read the original works. Philip makes an excellent point about finding a decent translation. You could do well to temper your enthusiasm for Plato by reading Karl Poppers "The Open Society & Its Enemies", specifically volume 1, "The Spell of Plato" – Mr. Kennedy Oct 17 '16 at 16:49
@Mr.Kennedy: Although definitely important, I would not consider Popper to be authoritative for Plato ;) Seriously, delving into philosophy I would always give the advice to read classical texts without poisening it with modern readings of it. The experience and incentives to think on your own are so much richer. – Philip Klöcking♦ Oct 17 '16 at 17:02
@Philip, nor do I present him as such. Tho his work is scholarly, his volume serves as counterpoint to common interpretive excesses. Of course, I am sure if we all had the time to become proficient in ancient Greek we could do well to consult the extant works of many ancient writers, however, I think it is a bit much to consider interpretation poisonous. – Mr. Kennedy Oct 17 '16 at 18:56
Original. As long as you are interested in a specific author, always the orignial (although for some there might be reading groups/seminars necessary, like Kant, Hegel, Foucault, etc. - but that is not the case for Plato!).
You may miss some subtleties (reading it several times over the course of two weeks helps), but it is still better than reading a possibly wrong interpretation and taking it for granted. That is, mostly an interpretation of a translation, which in itself is an interpretation. You get my point.
Another point: I assume you are not proficient in ancient Greek. Translations vary a lot in their quality. Reading it, you should always stick to sources that offer different possible meanings in their remarks instead of just one interpretation. Greek philosophers often included meaningful wordplays into their writings that may completely twist the meaning if translated badly. Remarks pointing them out from time to time are therefore a good indicator for an acceptable translation.
Philip Klöcking♦Philip Klöcking
Thanks for your answer! Wich plato's work should I read first? I'm interested, mainly, in the theory of forms! – Alex Alonso Oct 17 '16 at 16:45
@AlexAlonso: I would start with Phaedo, which discusses it, and go on with Parmenides, which provides some critical analysis. But his theory of forms is really underlying all of the works to some extend. – Philip Klöcking♦ Oct 17 '16 at 16:53
Of note: no more is known today about Forms than upon initial utterance. It is entirely arguable that Plato's theory is imponderable, that no knowledge may be obtained regarding Forms, and therefore there is no love of wisdom to be found in supposition and speculation regarding. Also note: the history of philosophy is not philosophy. – Mr. Kennedy Oct 17 '16 at 17:02
@Mr.Kennedy The OP's question is about where to start reading, not about the merits or weaknesses of Plato's philosophy. That would be a completely different question. – Tsundoku Oct 17 '16 at 20:37
A nice discussion... I feel like i'm learning a lot with the community here! I didn't expect such atention and such quality in answers when I asked yesterday. Feeling glad =) – Alex Alonso Oct 18 '16 at 10:27
I agree strongly that Plato should be read directly, but I would suggest there are better and worse reading orders. Plato's work is often divided into three (or more) eras, although this is speculative. The first set is considered to be dialogs he wrote early. These are more open-ended, are considered to be truer to the historical Socrates, and typically end in "aporia" (i.e. with unresolved arguments). The middle era works more explicitly outline Plato's own original metaphysics, still in dialog form, and still for a general audience. The late dialogs are more complex and abstract, more for a specialized audience, and sometimes abandon the dialog format.
I would suggest starting with The Apology to get a look at the historical Socrates. The other early dialogs tend to be easy to read and understand, so those are good for getting your feet wet. I created my own rendition of the Ion, one of Plato's most humorous dialogs, you can read it, if you wish, here (it's a quick read). Then maybe a transitional dialog: I'm personally partial to the Meno, which is the one that first woke me up to Plato's genius. If you can see the hidden layers of meaning in that one it's a good key to understanding all the rest of Plato's work. Finally, you'll want to read the Republic and the Symposium, Plato's most famous writings. They are, without question, two of the great masterpieces of all philosophy, and quite good reads if you find a good translation. You might notice this leaves out all the late dialogs --those are really for hardcore Plato fans only. They are dense and hard to understand, so they probably shouldn't even be approached until you feel you've mastered the earlier ones.
As far as the Theory of the Forms in particular: In my read, the Forms are best seen as one of Plato's most memorable and often used metaphors for a deeper reality that he felt defied any single description. So in once sense, all of Plato's dialogs are about the Forms, in another sense, even those that appear to be about the Forms really aren't. With that said, the combination of Meno and Republic will give you a good overall feel for the Forms as they are most commonly understood.

@AlexAlonso You're welcome. Please note: I added a new paragraph to more directly address the Forms. – Chris Sunami supports Monica Oct 18 '16 at 3:11
A very helpful paragraph, indeed. I also added your blog to my favorites to read between some gaps at work =) The comunity here is very receptive. This is very inspiring – Alex Alonso Oct 18 '16 at 10:23
Plato's Republic. Translated by G. M. A. Grube Revised by C. D. C. Reeve. Hackett Publishing. Note, you will find yourself reading the same paragraph 3 times. This book is akin to taking the Red pill. The cave allegory is legendary.

Here's as good a place to start with Plato as any: The Complete Works of Plato
...some 1800+ pages and best of all: it's FREE (just like the love of wisdom)
normally I'd suggest skipping the introduction but you might find it worth reading some of the "Chronological vs. Thematic Groupings of the Platonic Dialogues" & "Translations" - otherwise, Njoy!
Mr. KennedyMr. Kennedy
Just wanted to recommend Rebecca Goldstein's Plato at the Googleplex. She is very good at relating Plato's work to real-world situations.
Lee J RickardLee J Rickard
I agree with the suggestion above that the Republic is the right starting point. I offer two reasons for this.
In the first place, the dialogue covers nearly all the topics that Plato takes up in other dialogues - ethics, politics, epistemology, metaphysics, logic, education, religion, aesthetics. No other single dialogue provides a wider - or anything like so wide a - conspectus of Plato's philosophical interests. The conspectus also has a broad coherence; the topics are not merely strewn together but inter-connect as the general argument of the dialogue proceeds. Plato also exhibits nearly all his literary philosophical styles : from the fiercely argumentative and not always fair (with Thrasymachus), to the tolerant and indulgent (with the aged Cephalus), from the conversationally expositive which Socrates mainly adopts towards Glaucon and Adeimantus to the use of myth, simile, analogy, and allegory in the later stages.
Secondly, the Republic is a sort of developmental philosophical marker. We can see what Plato writes before and after the Republic, from the rough chronological ordering of his dialogues which we have, as approaching the ideas an arguments of the Republic or receding and retreating from them and starting out afresh.
The best plan is just to read the Republic, maybe alongside a commentary but not with the commentary first and independently. A commentary used wrongly - taken first - will taint the purity of your intellectual purity of your vision. Some philosophers can scarcely be confronted without commentary in hand - Aristotle, Spinoza, Hegel, Heidegger, perhaps. But Plato is not like this. Learn from commentaries, but later. Any recent translation of the Republic will give reliable guidance on where to turn for commentary.

Libya: Monkey Pulls off Girl’s Hijab, Violence Ensues, 16 dead
Christine Williams | Jihad Watch
According to residents and local reports, the latest bout of violence erupted between two tribes after an incident in which a monkey that belonged to a shopkeeper from the Gaddadfa tribe attacked a group of schoolgirls who were passing by.
The monkey pulled off one of the girls’ head scarf.
Must have been an “Islamophobic” monkey.
Life means little to nothing among barbaric jihadists. This one is difficult to impossible for any Western, thinking individual to fathom: how does a monkey elicit this kind of deadly response over a hijab? Thoroughly mystifying, but telling about the kind of mindset that is inevitably going to be found among some Muslim immigrants who have now arrived on Western soil. Human lives lost over a monkey. Enough said.
“Monkey incident sparks clashes in southern Libyan city of Sabha, 16 dead”, Globe and Mail, November 20, 2016:
At least 16 people died and 50 were wounded in Libya in four days of clashes between rival factions in the southern city of Sabha, a health official said on Sunday.
The monkey pulled off one of the girls’ head scarf, leading men from the Awlad Suleiman tribe to retaliate by killing three people from the Gaddadfa tribe as well as the monkey, according to a resident who spoke to Reuters….
Like other parts of Libya, Sabha has been periodically plagued by conflict since the uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi five years ago splintered the country into warring factions.
In the Sabha region, a hub for migrant and arms smuggling in Libya’s often neglected south, militia abuses and the deterioration of living conditions have been especially acute.
The Gaddadfa and the Awlad Suleiman represent the most powerful armed factions in the region.
During the latest clashes, which took place in the city center, initial attempts by tribal leaders to calm the fighting and arrange a ceasefire so that bodies could be recovered had failed, residents said….

2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S: Serious Seat Time In The Ultimate Driver’s Seat
by Roadfly Charlie November 25, 2004 Leave a comment
While browsing the press materials for Porsche’s latest iteration of the 911, there’s no mistaking its identity. Porsche would like its new version of the 911 (known internally and to enthusiasts as the 997) to be presented as “The 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera.” Add an “S” to the end of that if you opt for the sportier edition, but no matter the trim level, always refer to it as both a 911 and a Carrera. The Carrera name had been on a long hiatus, not having been officially recognized as a model name for quite some time.
Coincidentally enough, during the time the Carrera moniker was enjoying its sabbatical, the 911 was busy defending itself against critics who claimed the legendary sports car had gone soft on passion. The 996-model was often accused of being too refined and too perfect – the driving experience had been numbed, and the hardcore enthusiasts (and jilted journalists) complained loudly about the transistion to a water-cooled motor and the softer, less-edgy extreme makeover.
But that’s all antifreeze under the radiator now, thanks to the (almost) completely redesigned 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera. Boasting hundreds (if not thousands) of improvements and enhancements, any similarities to previous models are purely cosmetic. But, the purpose of this review is not to examine the technical details or to pour over the facts and figures- this review was done to share information about just one important aspect: The driving experience.
We were given some serious seat time in the 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S, the spunkier brother to the base-model Carrera, and we took full advantage of the opportunity. We drove it on backroads, highways, vacant city streets, and the infamous Willow Springs Raceway in Rosamond, California.
We scored a few laps with motorsports legend Hurley Haywood, and let’s just say there’s really no experience like that of roaring through the 900-foot radius that is turn 8 with Hurley’s foot firmly holding the gas pedal to the floor, while we were hanging on for dear life, praying to anything and everything holy that Haywood will get us through the corner in one piece (he does, everytime). If there’s a more exciting ride anywhere on the planet, we’re not aware of it.
But before we talk about what would later become known as “the Haywood incident,” let’s focus on our driving impressions and experiences. Slipping into the 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S (let’s agree to refer to it as either “the Carrera S,” “the 997,” or “the new 911” from now on), the first thing you’ll notice is the improved seating position. The seats offer an improved angle – one that allows for a clean, clear open view of the road, while providing more legroom. A tilting and telescoping wheel (a 911 first) is a welcome addition, especially for taller drivers like ourselves.
Instrumentation exudes typical Porsche perfection – the gauges are well placed, easy to read and offer plenty of information without being overwhelming. We wish we could say the same about the center stack controls – if our count is accurate, there’s more than fifty buttons surrounding the multi-function display, and most lean toward the cryptic-side of the scale. The HVAC controls are straightforward, as are the all important PASM and traction control buttons (more on those later). Materials are top notch, as is expected, offering a tasteful look and feel.
A quarter-turn of the left-side-mounted ignition switch brings the 3.8-liter flat six to life, and it sounds as though it awoke in good spirits. The exhaust note burbles with Porsche’s signature sound, offering just a hint as to what lurks just ahead of the quad tailpipes. Clutch action is velvet smooth and nearly effortless – the take-up is progressive and offers plenty of feedback. There’s no heavy feel to it – it simply engages and disengages effortlessly.
We slip the leather wrapped billet shifter into first gear, and it responds with a solid “snick.” Unlike so many other shifters we’ve encountered, there’s no vagueness – it feels as if the shifter is a solid extension of the transmission, with activations that are precise and immediate.
With the 355 horsepower motor warmed and ready to run, we ease out the clutch and begin our adventure. We work our way onto an old section of deserted highway, somewhere in central California, and immediately notice a dramatic improvement in ride quality over previous versions of the 911. Despite wearing some of the largest wheels to ever roll beneath a Porsche (19″), bumps and expansion joints are easily tamed by the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system. When left in “normal” mode, the ride is plush and comfy, and makes for effortless long-distance jaunts. Switching the PASM mode to “sport” immediately changes the character of the ride – we can literally feel the suspension stiffen and road irregularities that were once muted are now hitting like a pair of 18″ subwoofers.
Regardless of the PASM mode you choose, the Carrera S is nearly unflappable, even when purposely pushed to the limits. At one point early into our road test, we encountered a tricky set of off-camber esses. We approached them with trepidation, but our caution was unwarranted – we tried our darnnedest to upset the heavily biased back-end, but it remained firmly planted. Try as we might, we couldn’t force it to snap around on us (and that’s a good thing) – the suspension just hunkers down and grabs the road with a tenacious grip. Any extra weight that the new Carrera carries over the old model is invisible – there’s absolutely no body roll and the car never feels heavy.
Steering response from the variable ratio steering rack is spot-on; wheel response increases at any steering input angle greater than 30-degrees, just as it did on the previous 911, but perhaps as a testament to the improved suspension and chassis, the steering seems even more “solid” than before. With speeds firmly nestled in the triple digits, the steering felt firm, precise and confidence inspiring. The Carrera S is definitely a driver’s car, and it rewards its master with one of the most rewarding driving experiences ever, regardless of the conditions.
Throttle response is instantaneous and the flat-six pulls with authority, no matter where the tach needle points. Whether you’re cruising the freeway in sixth gear at a lazy 2,000 RPM, or winding your way through a twisty back road, low in the gears and high in the rev range, the motor is more than happy to oblige your right foot. We recorded a 0-60 time of 4.4 seconds and earned a quarter mile timeslip of 12.9 seconds at 110 mph. Not bad, especially when you consider that the 911 Turbo (costing nearly twice as much as our Carrera S) runs just a few tenths quicker in both tests.
The engine’s note is superb, and is easily heard in the cockpit under full throttle. Wind and road noise are minimal, regardless of speed. Plant your foot firmly on the brake pedal and the car stops with aplomb, no matter how fast you’re traveling. The big Brembos clamp the 13-inch cross-drilled rotors with a ferocity normally reserved for Great White Sharks and rabid pit bulls – we observed 70mph – 0 stopping distances of 149 feet, an all-time record on our books.
The 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S shines on the street, but literally glows on the track. The Carrera’s true intentions are obvious once it hits the pits: this is a car that’s equally happy on the track as it is the local drive-thru. It’s even more happy in the hands of Hurley Haywood, who gave us the ride of a lifetime around tricky Willow Springs Raceway.
Exiting the pits, we took the Carrera up through its gears, our backsides planted firmly in the supportive seats. Hard on the brakes for Castrol Corner (turn 1), the Porsche set itself nicely for the sharp left and planted itself firmly as we raced to turn two, a 450-foot radius called “The Rabbits Ear.” This increasing-radius turn gives way to a short up-hill stint, followed by turns 3, 4, and 5, all of which are a series of banked, changing elevation corners. The suspension handled all of the transitions famously and provided us with plenty of feedback. Careful throttle application is the key to getting through those corners quickly.
Monroe ridge (turn six) is a tricky little bend that resides on the back stretch – the combination of traveling downhill at warp speed (we’re hard on the accelerator after exiting turn 5) and the slight right-hand pitch tricks you into wanting to lift from the accelerator, but the Porsche urges otherwise. It knows that it’s more than capable of handling the kink, and it begs to be pushed harder.
“Turn 7” (if you can call it a turn – it’s more like a slight weave) is dispatched, and turn 8, a 900-foot radius called “The Sweeper” appears to require a heavy application of brakes, but again, the Carrera S presses on, accelerating its way through the wide corner. As The Sweeper straightens out, we’re hard on the brakes, setting-up the chassis for the final turn, a 600-foot radius called “Turn Nine.” We row down a few gears, hold our line through the apex and mash the gas as we exit the corner and hit the 2400-foot front straight. It’s up through the gears as we rocket our way through another lap.
We ran a few laps with the PASM set to normal, and a few set at sport, and to be honest, the car was just as capable in either setting. The beauty of the Porsche systems is that they allow you to press the performance envelope firmly to the limit, without letting you lose control. It’s the perfect mix of man and machine – each helps each other while being careful not to step on any toes.
As the sun began to set on the California desert, our time with the 2005 Porsche Carrera S came to a close. We reluctantly handed over the keys, bid our farewells and watched with a tear in our eye as the 911 as it was driven off into the sunset. Porsche has made a bold statement with its new Carrera, and the S puts the exclamation point at the end. There’s never been a better time to buy a Porsche, and if you have the means, race to your dealer and plunk down a deposit. The only regret you’ll have is that you waited this long before claiming one as your own.

Bill Cowher to Chargers Rumors!
November 29, 2011 San Diego Sportswire 10 Comments
Please, for the love of everything holy… Let this be true!
Is this a face the Chargers need or what? I feel like every Bolt fan in San Diego has had this look on their face for the past 5 years when the season came to an end.
Courtesy of Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ed Bouchette —
All (good) stuff today:
Have picked up two strong, separate rumors, one on the West Coast and the other on the East Coast that Bill Cowher could be the next coach of the San Diego Chargers. It has everything he wants: A team with talent, a quality quarterback and an owner who will allow him to bring in his own management people. A bonus: His eldest daughter, now married, lives in Los Angeles. Of course, San Diego GM A.J. Smith will have to go and someone Cowher knows would take over that job. Cowher loved quarterback Philip Rivers before the 2004 draft and there the Steelers might have drafted him instead of Ben Roethlisberer if he were not picked before them.”

Previous PostChargers PollNext PostTurner will go, but Chargers should keep GM… MY ASS!
10 thoughts on “Bill Cowher to Chargers Rumors!”
J Taylor says:
Why would AJ have to go? AJ would have to be told to “agree with Cowher” and AJ, Cowher and Dean would have to agree on the future. AJ could be put in a “lame duck” situation and ultimately neutered.
Also, why, exactly, would it be assumed that Cowher would not agree with AJ and his methods? AJ is a GM, cowher is a HC…. If the promise by the organization was that AJ would be gone when his contract expires in 2013, this could make sense. AND, the organization has shown that they want a very long term solution….. We can only hope…
sandiegosportswire says:
AJ would have to go because of how he did Marty. Marty was Bill’s mentor and its pretty well known he is not to fond of AJ. Additionally, AJ has sucked royally in his 06, 07, 08, 09, 10 drafts! That’s why he has to go! We could have Troy Polamalu and Clay Matthews on our team! Numerous others. This notion that AJ is a genius and no one else can do as well is just unfounded… he had one good draft b/c Manning wouldn’t come here(Spanos/Smith) and got some playes that we’re good for a while… and Rivers… like I said, Good for a while.
Please be true!
It would not matter. The Chargers will never see a championship under Cowher. Historically speaking, Championship coaches who coached for a different team NEVER made it back on the SuperBowl stage.
Boo hoo, let’s just give up then! Give me a break Jaycee, this is not a main stream media regurgitator! Dick Vermeil did it! Nick Saban did it at the college level! Besides… wouldn’t you rather watch a football team with Steelers roots than a football team with Buffalo Bills(AJ) and Norv Turner roots? C’MON MAN!
Makes me very happy …only only haunting reminder no Superbowl coach has ever taken another team to the Superbowl.
Again, Dick Vermeil did it!
SamuelSteelersFan says:
I think its funny that now that the truth of what kind of a team that the San Diego Chargers have become under Norv Turner, and truth be told it isn’t all of Norm’s responsibility that the Chargers’ players have played with the mentality that they are better than god as a football team have proven that they have always been pretenders and that not contenders, that they need the leadership of Bill Cowher. I am a die hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan ever since the age of 7. The last time the Steelers came to Qualcomm Stadium to play there was nothing but rudeness coming from the fans of the San Diego Chargers toward the fans of Pittsburgh, toward the Players and Coaches of Pittsburgh. today at the office all I heard were the talk of the Chargers wanting Bill Cowher to replace Norv Turner. In the same replies they made comments, when I mentioned that Bill Cowher remained in Pittsburgh for 14 years not because of the fact that he was and is a successful Head Coach but because the Rooney’s were loyal to Cowher. The Chargers would be a better organization if they were to move to a location like Los Angeles or Los Vegas to a place where they would be appreciated by fans that are not fair weathered
pleaase come to san diego,we need help
SamuelSteelersFan hahahah this is rich coming from a Steelers fan. I do admire that team, but the fans are known to be some of the worst in the NFL. Those in glass houses…

The Age of Outrage: What the Current Political Climate is Doing to Our Country and Our Universities
Posted: December 19, 2017 | Author: Pundit Planet | Filed under: Education, Mediasphere, Think Tank | Tags: Academia, Activism, Anti-American, Crisis, Global Panic, Hysteria, Jonathan Haidt, Manhattan Institute, Marxism, Microaggressions, Revolution, Thomas Jefferson, Trigger Warnings | 1 Comment
Jonathan Haidt is the Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership, NYU Stern School of Business. This essay is an edited version of his Wriston Lecture for the Manhattan Institute, delivered on November 15.
Jonathan Haidt writes: Here is the fine-tuned liberal democracy hypothesis: as tribal primates, human beings are unsuited for life in large, diverse secular democracies, unless you get certain settings finely adjusted to make possible the development of stable political life. This seems to be what the Founding Fathers believed. Jefferson, Madison, and the rest of those eighteenth-century deists clearly did think that designing a constitution was like designing a giant clock, a clock that might run forever if they chose the right springs and gears.
Thankfully, our Founders were good psychologists. They knew that we are not angels; they knew that we are tribal creatures. As Madison wrote in Federalist 10: “the latent causes of faction are thus sown in the nature of man.” Our Founders were also good historians; they were well aware of Plato’s belief that democracy is the second worst form of government because it inevitably decays into tyranny. Madison wrote in Federalist 10 about pure or direct democracies, which he said are quickly consumed by the passions of the majority: “such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention . . . and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”
So what did the Founders do? They built in safeguards against runaway factionalism, such as the division of powers among the three branches, and an elaborate series of checks and balances. But they also knew that they had to train future generations of clock mechanics. They were creating a new kind of republic, which would demand far more maturity from its citizens than was needed in nations ruled by a king or other Leviathan.
Here is the education expert E.D. Hirsch, on the founding of our nation:
The history of tribal and racial hatred is the history and prehistory of humankind. . . . The American experiment, which now seems so natural to us, is a thoroughly artificial device designed to counterbalance the natural impulses of group suspicions and hatreds. . . . This vast, artificial, trans-tribal construct is what our Founders aimed to achieve. And they understood that it can be achieved effectively only by intelligent schooling. (From The Making of Americans)
Thomas Jefferson wrote, in 1789, that “wherever the people are well informed they can be trusted with their own government;” he backed up that claim by founding the University of Virginia, about which he wrote, in 1820: “This institution will be based on the illimitable freedom of the human mind. For here we are not afraid to follow the truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error as long as reason is left free to combat it.”
[Read the full story here, at City Journal]
So, how are we doing, as the inheritors of the clock? Are we maintaining it well? If Madison visited Washington, D.C. today, he’d find that our government is divided into two all-consuming factions, which cut right down the middle of each of the three branches, uniting the three red half-branches against the three blue half-branches, with no branch serving the original function as he had envisioned.
And how are we doing at training clock mechanics? What would Jefferson say if he were to take a tour of America’s most prestigious universities in 2017? What would he think about safe spaces, microaggressions, trigger warnings, bias response teams, and the climate of fearfulness, intimidation, and conflict that is now so prevalent on campus? But first, let’s ask: How did we mess things up so badly? Read the rest of this entry »

John Tierney: The Real War on Science
Posted: November 22, 2016 | Author: Pundit Planet | Filed under: Education, History, Science & Technology, Think Tank | Tags: Chris Mooney, City Journal, Confirmation Bias, Conservative, Democrats, Genetics, GOP, Groupthink, Ideology, John Tierney, Jonathan Haidt, Left Wing, Monoculture, Peer review, propaganda, religion, Research, Social psychology, Social science, The Republican War on Science, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion | Leave a comment
The Left has done far more than the Right to set back progress.
John Tierney writes: My liberal friends sometimes ask me why I don’t devote more of my science journalism to the sins of the Right. It’s fine to expose pseudoscience on the left, they say, but why aren’t you an equal-opportunity debunker? Why not write about conservatives’ threat to science?
“Democrats outnumber Republicans at least 12 to 1 (perhaps 40 to 1) in social psychology.”
My friends don’t like my answer: because there isn’t much to write about. Conservatives just don’t have that much impact on science. I know that sounds strange to Democrats who decry Republican creationists and call themselves the “party of science.” But I’ve done my homework. I’ve read the Left’s indictments, including Chris Mooney’s bestseller, The Republican War on Science. I finished it with the same question about this war that I had at the outset: Where are the casualties?
“The narrative that Republicans are antiscience has been fed by well-publicized studies reporting that conservatives are more close-minded and dogmatic than liberals are. But these conclusions have been based on questions asking people how strongly they cling to traditional morality and religion—dogmas that matter a lot more to conservatives than to liberals.”
Where are the scientists who lost their jobs or their funding? What vital research has been corrupted or suppressed? What scientific debate has been silenced? Yes, the book reveals that Republican creationists exist, but they don’t affect the biologists or anthropologists studying evolution. Yes, George W. Bush refused federal funding for embryonic stem-cell research, but that hardly put a stop to it (and not much changed after Barack Obama reversed the policy). Mooney rails at scientists and politicians who oppose government policies favored by progressives like himself, but if you’re looking for serious damage to the enterprise of science, he offers only three examples.
“A few other studies—not well-publicized—have shown that liberals can be just as close-minded when their own beliefs, such as their feelings about the environment or Barack Obama, are challenged.”
All three are in his first chapter, during Mooney’s brief acknowledgment that leftists “here and there” have been guilty of “science abuse.” First, there’s the Left’s opposition to genetically modified foods, which stifled research into what could have been a second Green Revolution to feed Africa. Second, there’s the campaign by animal-rights activists against medical researchers, whose work has already been hampered and would be devastated if the activists succeeded in banning animal experimentation.
Third, there’s the resistance in academia to studying the genetic underpinnings of human behavior, which has cut off many social scientists from the recent revolutions in genetics and neuroscience. Each of these abuses is far more significant than anything done by conservatives, and there are plenty of others. The only successful war on science is the one waged by the Left.
[Read the full story here at City Journal]
The danger from the Left does not arise from stupidity or dishonesty; those failings are bipartisan. Some surveys show that Republicans, particularly libertarians, are more scientifically literate than Democrats, but there’s plenty of ignorance all around. Both sides cherry-pick research and misrepresent evidence to support their agendas. Whoever’s in power, the White House plays politics in appointing advisory commissions and editing the executive summaries of their reports. Scientists of all ideologies exaggerate the importance of their own research and seek results that will bring them more attention and funding.
But two huge threats to science are peculiar to the Left—and they’re getting worse. Read the rest of this entry »

Fed Up with Peers’ Blind Devotion to Leftist Tenets, Freethinking Professors Launch their Own Website.
Kate Hardiman writes: In January, a mere five months after the launch of Heterodox Academy, the scholarly blog was cited by professor and columnist Paul Krugman in the New York Times as an example of educators who are “conservative” and “outraged” at “what they see as a sharp leftward movement in the academy.”
“Krugman is wrong—we are neither conservative nor outraged. We are concerned about the loss of viewpoint diversity in the academy because it means that we lose ‘institutionalized disconfirmation.’”
— Jonathan Haidt
But Krugman – like so many of his left-leaning peers – appeared blind to the truth.
“The quality of research produced by politically orthodox disciplines deteriorates. We are working within the academy to try to improve it.”
“Krugman is wrong—we are neither conservative nor outraged,” responded Jonathan Haidt, a professor of business ethics at New York University and co-founder of the website. “We are concerned about the loss of viewpoint diversity in the academy because it means that we lose ‘institutionalized disconfirmation.’”
…speakers and writers are often vilified for presenting contrary opinions to the common narrative. Here’s some of what can get scholars in trouble:
“Suggest some or many aspects of modern feminism are misguided.”
“Claim that affirmative action is dysfunctional.”
“Argue that some psychological and behavioral differences between some groups might have derived from the different evolutionary adaptation pressures on different continents.
“Present evidence that many stereotypes are accurate.”
“Present evidence that children of gay or lesbian parents are not necessarily as psychologically well adjusted as parents of heterosexual parents.”
“Criticize Islam, as a religion and/or set of cultural values and/or political ideology.”

Heterodox Academy was founded in September 2015 by eleven professors of liberal, conservative, libertarian and centrist bents who hail from various disciplines and universities and who have taken up the mission to combat the lack of “viewpoint diversity” in academia, with a special focus on the social sciences.

Origin of the Family Pet: 15,000 Years Ago, Probably in Asia, the Dog Was Born

Where do dogs come from?
James Gorman writes: Gray wolves are their ancestors. Scientists are pretty consistent about that. And researchers have suggested that dogs’ origins can be traced to Europe, the Near East, Siberia and South China.
“It’s really great to see not just the sheer number of street dogs, but also the geographic breadth and the number of remote locations where the dogs were sampled.”
— Greger Larson of Oxford University, who is leading an international effort to analyze ancient DNA from fossilized bones
Central Asia is the newest and best candidate, according to a large study of dogs from around the world.
Laura M. Shannon and Adam R. Boyko at Cornell University, and an international group of other scientists, studied not only purebred dogs, but also street or village dogs — the free-ranging scavengers that make up about 75 percent of the planet’s one billion dogs.
Dr. Shannon analyzed three different kinds of DNA, Dr. Boyko said, the first time this has been done for such a large and diverse group of dogs, more than 4,500 dogs of 161 breeds and 549 village dogs from 38 countries. That allowed the researchers to determine which geographic groups of modern dogs were closest to ancestral populations genetically. And that led them to Central Asia as the place of origin for dogs in much the same way that genetic studies have located the origin of modern humans in East Africa.
[Read the full story here, at The New York Times]
The analysis, Dr. Boyko said, pointed to Central Asia, including Mongolia and Nepal, as the place where “all the dogs alive today” come from. The data did not allow precise dating of the origin, he said, but showed it occurred at least 15,000 years ago. They reported their findings Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

[VIDEO] Does Free Speech Offend You?

Should offensive speech be banned? Where should we, as a society, draw the line where permitted speech is on one side, and forbidden speech is on the other? Should we even have that line? And should free speech be limited by things like trigger warnings and punishments for microaggressions? Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, answers these questions and more.
Dalai Lama, Capitalist Convert?

Over at NRO‘s The Corner, Kathryn Jean Lopez writes: There is a tendency in certain parts to eye-roll when the word “dialogue” is raised. And I’ve certainly sat through some dialogues now and again that didn’t seem to get anywhere. But today in Washington, D.C., Arthur Brooks, it seems to me, did a very good thing. The president of the American Enterprise Institute hosted the Dalai Lama for a conversation about morality and economics. During the course of private and public interactions with Brooks and the people he gathered at the American Enterprise Institute, the Dalai Lama announced that he had a new respect for capitalists, who, he had previously assumed took people’s money and exploited them.

An affirmative answer to the question posed in the title of this post would be a step too far, but at AEI today, the spiritual leader of Tibetans wasn’t playing economist or politician, but reminding people of our common humanity and responsibilities to one another. And it seemed pretty clear to me that the hedge-fund billionaire on the main panel, Daniel Loeb, talking about how contemplation and meditation enhances decision-making and his work with an inner-city Brooklyn charter school, was not at all the caricature of capitalists the Dalai Lama is used to hearing from his admirers on the Left.
Arthur, along with Jennifer Marshall at Heritage and the Poverty Cure project at the Acton Institute are doing excellent work trying to advance ideas that help lift people out of poverty.
Libertarians sure are mysterious

Interesting item from Emily Esfahani Smith – Washington Times:
If youve ever observed a group of libertarians at a bar — perhaps discussing objectivism, the Second Amendment, or marijuana, all with reverence — then you know that they are a species of political being unlike the rest of us.
But they are an important group to understand this election cycle, as topics such as the economy, the size of government and entitlements take center stage and “Atlas Shrugged: Part II” opens in movie theaters nationwide. According to Gallup, libertarians make up about 20 percent of the electorate — and they are a vocal and influential minority, as the tea party movement has shown.
The ascent of the “Atlas Shrugged”-loving Paul Ryan to the Republican ticket is another indication that the libertarian movement may be in the midst of its political moment.
But what exactly do libertarians believe?
Psychologists Ravi Iyer, Spassena Koleva, Jesse Graham, Peter Ditto and Jonathan Haidt set out to answer this very question in the largest study of libertarians to date, “Understanding Libertarian Morality,” published recently in the scientific journal PLOS ONE.
After surveying nearly 12,000 self-identified libertarians, the researchers determined that libertarians have a set of moral values that are distinct from those held by ordinary conservatives and liberals…

Liberals Admit to Discriminating Against Conservative Academicians
Posted: October 3, 2012 | Author: Pundit Planet | Filed under: Reading Room | Tags: Daniel Gilbert, Harvard University, Jonathan Haidt, Social psychology, Society for Personality and Social Psychology | Leave a comment
By Ronald Bailey
When social psychologist Jonathan Haidt famously polled his fellow academics for their political leanings at the 2011 convention of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, only 3 hands out of a thousand were raised in response to his query about conservative leanings. Just three. As the New York Times reported:
“This is a statistically impossible lack of diversity,” Dr. Haidt concluded…. “Anywhere in the world that social psychologists see women or minorities underrepresented by a factor of two or three, our minds jump to discrimination as the explanation,” said Dr. Haidt, who called himself a longtime liberal turned centrist. “But when we find out that conservatives are underrepresented among us by a factor of more than 100, suddenly everyone finds it quite easy to generate alternate explanations.”
Harvard University psychologist Daniel Gilbert very open-mindedly generated one such alternate explanation for the paucity of conservative social psychologists:
[L]iberals may be more interested in new ideas, more willing to work for peanuts, or just more intelligent, all of which may push them to pursue the academic life while deterring their conservative peers.
Well, yes that is one possibility. However, a new study, “Political Diversity in Social and Personality Psychology,” by Dutch psychologists finds that overt discrimination against conservatives [PDF] likely plays a role. The researchers surveyed several hundred social psychologists, most of them American, and found that 6 percent identified as “overall conservative” – certainly better than 3 in a 1,000 but nowhere near being representative of the larger population. The researchers then ask:
Why, then, did Haidt have such difficulty finding more than a handful of conservative colleagues? The current results suggest one answer: Members of the conservative minority are reluctant to express their political beliefs publicly. Survey 2 shows why: Hostility toward and willingness to discriminate against conservatives is widespread. One in six respondents said that she or he would be somewhat (or more) inclined to discriminate against conservatives in inviting them for symposia or reviewing their work. One in four would discriminate in reviewing their grant applications. More than one in three would discriminate against them when making hiring decisions. Thus, willingness to discriminate is not limited to small decisions. In fact, it is strongest when it comes to the most important decisions, such as grant applications and hiring.
This hostile climate offers a simple explanation of why conservatives hide their political opinions from colleagues. Given that all academics depend on the opinions of their colleagues—who judge their papers, grants, and job applications—and given that such judgments are typically made by multiple reviewers (most of whom are liberal), this means that outspoken conservatives face a very serious problem. Hence, the more conservative respondents are, the more they hide their political opinions.
Conservatives stay quiet (or stay out of academic psychology altogether) because they don’t want the thundering herd of independent minds to stampede their careers into the dust.

Guide: How to Split-Screen in Ben 10: Power Trip
By Chris Harding
Posted on 9th October 2020
Ben 10: Power Trip is out today, and for parents looking for a way to keep the kids quiet, it’s a great game to do so, and it even works on multiple children thanks to split-screen. Parent used Split Screen Multiplayer. It’s super effective!
But, how do you split-screen multiplayer in Ben 10: Power Trip? I had a bit of trouble finding this out myself, and I’ve put over a dozen hours into the game. If you’re struggling to figure it out, no problem, I’ve got your back, dear parent.
Read More: Ben 10: Power Trip PS4 Review
To play Ben 10: Power Trip in multiplayer mode (there’s only local co-op, no online play) you’ll need a second controller connected to the console, obviously. Then, you need to find the camper van that Ben and his gang are travelling around in. If you open the pause menu you’ll find the world map. Look on the map for the camper van icon, then head towards the nearest one – there are multiple scattered throughout the game’s map for quick travel.
Once you’re at the camper van, simply talk to Kevin Levin and the game will ask you if you’d like to play in co-op. Hit ‘yes’ and enjoy a few minutes or, if you’re lucky, hours of the kids being distracted. Or take a break from working at home and have a go yourself. It’s a fun game!

November 6, 2017 October 6, 2019 Pyro On The Pitch
Pyro On The Pitch #6: Sweden vs Italy, European Championships Qualifier, 03/06/1987 (with Bonus)
The game featured in this edition of Pyro On The Pitch is noteworthy for the fact that this writer completed his very first full orbit around Earth’s sun on the day the match was played. I.e., first birthday. But this entry might have been more appropriate last week on Halloween, as this is somewhat of a ghost pyro on the pitch.
Here we have a very similar situation to that featured in Pyro On The Pitch #4, when Denmark showed their supporter pedigree against the highly feared English in 1982. This time it’s their Scandinavian brothers in Sweden welcoming another of Europe’s premier supporting class, Italy. The pyro for both games revolved around a possible foul by a goalkeeper on an attacker and whether it should have been a penalty.
Just over 40,000 were in attendance at the Råsunda Stadium, Stockholm, which was the home of the Swedish national team until it’s demolition in 2012. Anticipation was high for the big game with the crowd perhaps particularly buoyed on by the reputation of the visitors in the football supporting world and smoke can be seen rising from the terraces before kick off in pictures.
Early in the first half, Roberto Tricella breaks free down the left for Italy and into the Swedish box. Famous Swdeish goalkeeper Thomas Ravelli comes out to challenge and his outstretched right leg appears to take down Tricella:
Immediately after the foul we can just about see a dangerous/exciting crowd heave (or avalanche) in the terrace behind the incident, typical of the time:
The penalty is given much to chagrin of the home supporters triggering a wave of protests in the form of projectiles on the pitch (Note to self: Possible future series “Projectiles On The Pitch”), and of course booing and jeering. Initially ticker tape/til roll is thrown into the box:
As paper rains down from the surly Swedish supporters, who can be seen packed to the fence in the background, referee Dieter Pauly notices and picks up an altogether more serious foreign object:
Pauly, in nice Ermia ref shirt it must be said, sternly displays a golf ball which has just come from the packed terrace behind the goal. Now, either the golf ball was brought preemptively with a view for malicious activity at such an occasion in the match, or one supporter had simply come straight from the golf course and had merely let one of his/her balls slip from his/her pocket on to the pitch:
Pauly is not impressed at all and tosses the golf ball to a Swedish official with somewhat of a disgusted sneer, but with form as to suggest that this is not the first golf ball that he has had to remove from a field of play that wasn’t a golf course:
What happens next is extremely unfortunate for the interests of this website as another replay of the foul/maybe dive is played in slow motion and when we return to live-time it is clear we have JUST missed some pyro being thrown on the pitch. What remains is a plume of smoke from a flare which has just gone out, or else the smoke is from it’s own weak smoke bomb:
As the players pick up more objects from the ground, a large cloud can be see coming from more pyro out of view to the left of the goal and a steward removes what may or may not have once been the flare. Unfortunately this is as close as we come to seeing any real pyro, but a bit of smoke, eh? Not bad. Or is it a cop out to include this?
All this combined to create quite a beautifully chaotic scene to be fair. But wait, that’s not all! Just when it seemed order is restored, more projectiles come hailing down including something that is a direct shot on the head of poor, young 27 year old Ravelli, basically exploding off his crown and rolling to another Swedish player:
The keeper reels in shock at this apparent betrayal by his countrymen, although also comically puts out his hand in a sort of “is it raining here or what guys, eh??” gesture:
The fans behind the goal watch on, with the younger, more rebellious sorts no doubt caught up in the exhilarating, tense atmosphere. One quick Nazi salute appears to be thrown also:
Although more than a bit miffed, Ravelli in his beautiful green kit is fine and returns to his goal ready for the penalty, removing another projectile from the goalmouth as he goes:
But the supporters have one last laugh, as one more roll is thrown into the box delaying things slightly longer:
Pauly makes a hilariously slow and deliberate walk over which just screams “…sigh” and takes so long to remove the paper that it has to be divided in to two gifs:
After all this, Ravelli saves the penalty with a nice one handed save to the left onto the post and the rebound is driven over the bar. Cue ecstatic jubilation from the terraces as the entire previous five minutes is forgotten:
Sweden would go on to win 1-0 for a famous victory, but Italy would ultimate pip the Swedes for top spot and qualification (not that that part is relevant but just thought I’d throw it in there to sound professional).
Bonus: Greece vs Cyprus, European Championships Qualifier, 14/01/1987:
Even though we think the incidents covered above are a stellar example of a classic 80’s atmosphere, we do hold our heads out for the chopping block for not being able to produce any physical pyro on the pitch in this edition. So for this sin, here is a special extra bonus…where unfortunately once again we cannot actually see pyro on the pitch. Sorry about this.
Unlike with Sweden-Italy though, here we actually do see some flames. As Greece go 1-0 up en route to a 3-1 win against their Mediterranean rivals Cyrpus, what some would call an orgy of joy can be seen erupting in the crowd. Among this nearly cinematic scene of gay abandon, we catch a flare ignition, which is no sooner let off before the handler is launching it pitch-ward. It is nearly in his/her blood to do so:
Unfortunately, in an inverse to the Sweden incident, the director cuts off to a replay just before we get to see if the flare actually reaches the pitch or just lands on the running track. We would like to say that we will make it our mission for the next several years to gain a categorical confirmation of this. But instead, we will just say that yes, it did reach the pitch.

Eagles, Whitesnake Warn Fans About Social Media Scams
Ethan Miller, Getty Images / Twitter: @davidcoverdale
The Eagles and Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale have gone on social media to warn that criminals are trying to steal from their fans by posing as rock stars.
"It has been brought to our attention that imposters are attempting to solicit money from Eagles fans on social media, in the name of a charity which does not exist," the Eagles posted on their Facebook page. "Be assured that Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, Deacon Frey & Vince Gill would never contact you to ask for money."
"If you are contacted by someone claiming to be a member of the Eagles via any form of electronic communication, or on any social media platform," the message continued, "we recommend referring to the platform’s imposter policy and following instructions to report them immediately. Verified profiles for the band and individual members can be identified by a blue checkmark next to their names."
In a video he posted to Twitter, Coverdale had similar words. "It's been brought to my attention there are people actively running scams about my name and Whitesnake, asking you for money or information or personal data," he said. "That is absolutely not us. We don't do that, we would never come to you directly for your personal information or ask you for money. These are scams. If you don't see the verified blue mark, it is not verified. There are no affiliated or official fan clubs for either myself -- David Coverdale -- or for Whitesnake. So please, don't be scammed and have the best Christmas you can. God bless you."
Back in September, Resource One Credit Union revealed how scammers can easily create fake Facebook accounts for celebrities and lure fans using hashtags. Then they send private messages to those who commented, asking for money or bank account information. As with the Eagles and Coverdale, Resource One recommends looking for the blue check mark and doing other research to see if the account is fake or legitimate.

The role of norepinephrine in spatial reference and spatial working memory
Michael J. Gertner, University of Pennsylvania

Division: Natural Sciences
Dept/Program: Biological Basis of Behavior
Mentor(s): Steven Thomas
The adrenergic system (utilizing norepinephrine, NE, as a neurotransmitter) is implicated in hippocampus-based learning and memory, in addition to its well known peripheral actions mediated by the sympathetic nervous system. We have produced a strain of mice in which the gene coding for the enzyme dopamine beta-hydroxylase (Dbh), which catalyzes the synthesis of NE from dopamine, has been disrupted. Mice recessive (Dbh-/-) for the Dbh gene mutation lack endogenous NE and epinephrine, while heterozygous mice (Dbh+/-) have normal levels of NE and epinephrine and display normal phenotype.
Previous studies have indicated that NE is necessary and sufficient for the retrieval of intermediate-term contextual and spatial memories, but is not necessary for the retrieval or consolidation of emotional memories in general (Thomas et al. 1996). We tested whether this relationship would stand for memories that were appetitive rather than aversive. We tested 20 Dbh-/- and 20 Dbh+/- mice in an eight-arm radial maze. We found no difference between KOs and controls in ability to recall spatial cues 24 hours after training. This negative result indicated that NE may not be critical for retrieval of all hippocampus-dependent memories but specifically those that are aversive.
Using a more standard variation of the above protocol on the radial arm maze, we used this apparatus to test the role of NE in spatial working memory. We found significant, robust differences between Dbh-/- and Dbh+/- mice after a training period of approximately 14 days. To test whether this difference was due to a potential deficit in acquisition or performance, we restored NE in Dbh-/- mice by administering the synthetic precursor L-DOPS after four days of stable behavioral differences between genotypes. In a separate trial, we also restored NE signaling with dexmedetomidine, a selective alpha-2 receptor agonist. A gradual improvement by Dbh-/- mice to levels comparable to Dbh+/- mice indicated that NE is critical for the acquisition of spatial working memory, and suggested a role for the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor in the processing of spatial working memory.

Is Trump a Fascist? Weigh eight specialists.

Is Donald Trump a Fascist?
That question surfaced in various forms fairly early in his 2016 presidential campaign, which began with a speech against Mexican immigrants, and gained momentum after he called for a "complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States" in December 2015 on response the terrorist attack in San Bernardino.
At this point, the Muslim proposal for a ban, I contacted five fascism experts and asked them if Trump was qualified. They all said no. Each of them declared that to be a fascist one had to support the revolutionary, usually violent overthrow of the entire government / constitution and completely reject democracy. In 2015, no one was comfortable telling that Trump went this far. He was too individualistic for the inherently collectivist philosophy of fascism and insufficiently committed to the belief that violence for its own sake is good as a vital cleaner.
Roger Griffin, author of The Nature of Fascism and Professor of History at Oxford Brookes University, summed it up nicely: "You can be a totally xenophobic racist male chauvinist bastard and still not be a fascist."
Five years have passed and the questions of fascism have become more and more common. Trump had time to implement policies against immigrants and blacks and refused to denounce his most extreme and violent supporters, from the neo-Nazis and white nationalists in Charlottesville to the Proud Boys group. And every week I get dozens of emails from readers wondering if I will stand by my 2015 conclusion that Trump is simply a fanatic with an authoritarian charisma and not a fascist.
So I reached out to the experts I spoke to at the time. Four of the five replied, and I also got in touch with a few other scholars who had researched fascism to get a broader perspective.
Again, the responses were unanimous, albeit with much greater concern about Trump's authoritarian and violent tendencies. Nobody thinks Trump is a fascist leader. Jason Stanley, a Yale philosopher and author of How Fascism Works, came closest to this conclusion, saying that "Trumpism could rightly be called a fascist social and political movement" and that Trump "employs fascist political tactics," but Trump does not does not necessarily lead a fascist government.
But most experts didn't even go that far, and some expressed concern that describing Trump as a fascist would undermine the term and lead to a miscalculation of our current political situation. "If Trump were a fascist and we were in a similar situation to Germany in 1932 or Italy in 1921, certain measures would be justified," says Sheri Berman, professor of political science at Barnard College. "But we are not and they are not."
To be clear, “not fascist” is a very, very low bar for Trump. The concerns that lead people to ask the question, "Is Trump a fascist?" are real. Trump is really trying to discredit the upcoming presidential election. He really hired officials with ties to white nationalist groups. He genuinely promised to banish all Muslims from the US (and implemented new rules towards that goal) and said that a Mexican-American judge would not be able to lead cases in which he was involved, other than Mexican Immigrants are labeled "rapists" and empathize with neo-Nazis after Charlottesville, falsely claiming that Muslim Americans celebrated the 9/11 attacks – amid many, many violations.
But it could get worse and worse. There really are leaders who are suspending elections, dissolving legislation, throwing large numbers of citizens into camps without trial or appeal, and turning their nations into one-party states based on a cult of national rebirth. The fascist leaders of the past, according to Jason Brownlee of the University of Texas, “not only pursued right-wing politics, but also built up mass mobilizing parties and paramilitary organizations to push aside alternative movements and establish a one-party dictatorship. ”
That didn't happen here – but it could. It came terribly close to Greece, where the explicitly neo-Nazi Golden Dawn became the third largest political party in the mid-2010s. And when and when it happens in America, we need to have the right conditions and tools in place to face it.
Robert Paxton, Mellon Professor Emeritus of Social Sciences at Columbia University
I stand by what I've already written about Trump and fascism, but there is one change: I am now impressed by Trump's growing willingness to use physical violence.
Before that, Trump was already willing to tolerate hecklers being heckled at rallies and his encouragement to lock them up! Refrain was clearly transgressive (in America we are supposed to wait for a jury of citizens to decide before locking someone up). But now, after Charlottesville, we have the Proud Boys and the aggression against the Michigan governor. So Trump is approaching his own SA (the Nazi paramilitary group), a sobering thought as the election approaches.
But there is still no state administration of the economy here (as was the case to a certain extent in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy). Trump is content to help businesses by reducing the government's protection of the environment and workers. Its economic policy is mainly to let business people do what they want. So I still think that terms like "oligarchy" and "plutocracy" work for Trump with the added thought that he is about to cross the line with his tolerance of violence.
Matthew Feldman, Director, Center for Radical Right Analysis
Although my position on Trump has not changed – less fascist than kleptocratic, more selfish than right-wing ideologue – it does little to reduce the danger.
Four months ago I warned that Trump would lapse into sheer authoritarianism. Commentators with little information try to calm down rather than dig deep, and urge readers to look on the good side. That the USA is an extraordinary country.
Democratic regression and political polarization are not unique to the United States. More weapons than humans can be had. This also applies to militias, which are usually composed of lower and middle-class white Americans and who harbor anti-government sentiments. The threat from these anti-government extremists – if not necessarily terrorists – was eased when at least 13 members of the Michigan Wolverine militia were arrested for attempting to kidnap, "judge," and possibly the state Governor Gretchen Whitmer to execute for high treason.
The term "fascist" in relation to Trump continues to be more misleading than informative. But that cannot lead us to what Alexander Reid Ross called "fascist creeping".
Stanley Payne, Jaume Vicens Vives, and Professor Emeritus of Hilldale History at the University of Wisconsin Madison
That investigation made little sense four years ago when Trump was still an unknown quantity, but now he has a record. Well – that's pretty thin. There isn't much to work here. The Democrats won the first Trump elections (halftime 2018) and I am not aware of anything negative. Polluting mosquitoes doesn't really get us anywhere. Usually these are just stupid public statements. Hitler's place in history is not based on what he said or on temporary detention cages. Please do not trivialize. This indicates the lack of an argument.
Roger Griffin, Professor Emeritus of Modern History at Oxford Brookes University
I would really insist that his relationship with democracy is the key to answering whether or not he is a fascist. Even in four years of incoherent and inconsistent tweets, he has never made a Putin and tried to make himself permanent president, let alone propose a coherent plan for overthrowing the constitutional system. And I don't even think he thinks about it. He's an exploiter, he's a freeloader. He is a wheeler and dealer. And that's not the same as an ideologue.
So he is absolutely not a fascist. It is not a challenge to constitutional democracy. It is certainly a great challenge to liberalism and liberal democracy. And I think journalists who view liberal democracy not as a unit but as a binomial will really favor it. Democracy can exist without liberalism.
If I were to do this as a conclusion in a debate, I would say that Trump is not a fascist, but what he is quite consistent is an illiberal democrat. He is a democrat in that he has used democratic processes to be where he is, which he does not radically question. He's obviously playing quick and easy, like any profiteer, with things like the Supreme Court he gets into, etc. He doesn't care about the rules but about the core system that he doesn't want to change because he's someone who benefits from this system?
Basically, I think it matters whether we call Trump fascist or not fascist, not academic or intellectual, but because it's a red herring – it actually distracts attention from where we should be making the criticism. If all of our intellectual energies like Don Quixote are fighting windmills and fascism instead of actually fighting the real enemies of democracy and using our energies to avert the climate crisis that will devour us all if we are not careful, then waste we our time.
By not calling him fascist and focusing on the way he perverts democracy, we see Trump in a different context. We don't see him as Hitler or Mussolini. We see him in another villain gallery. And the gallery of villains is made up of a slew of dictators throughout history, including Putin and Erdogan and Orbán and Assad, who today have abused constitutionalism and democracy to rationalize their abuse of power and crimes against humanity.
Sheri Berman, Professor of Political Science, Barnard College, Columbia University
Regarding Trump and Fascism, I don't like to apply that term to Trump or what is going on in this country.
Partly for historical and intellectual reasons – just as we shouldn't label (or say it is yet another Holocaust) every horrific example of ethnic violence or even ethnic cleansing as "genocide", we should be careful about telling Trump compare Hitler. Genocide means something: it is an attempt to wipe out an entire people with the full force of the modern state. Likewise, National Socialism or fascism in general was a totalitarian ideology and a political regime that not only wanted to abolish liberalism and democracy, but also revolutionize society, the economy and politics. It is not the same as an old dictatorship, nor is it evil, and we are not here today.
Just as ethnically based violence or ethnic cleansing shares some traits with Genocide / Holocaust, Trump also shares similarities with other strong men, a category that includes fascists like Hitler and Mussolini, as well as Orbán, Erdogan, Putin and their type. The fact that Trump maintains his support through explicitly divisive appeals with which groups are supposed to compete against each other – especially but not exclusively ethnic groups – has of course a certain similarity to what fascists did.
And of course, Trump undermines various norms and institutions of democracy. But that doesn't make him a fascist, which means a lot more than these things. In fact, I almost think that calling Trump "fascist" gives him too much "recognition" – he's not strategic enough, ideological enough, or ambitious enough. And as bad as things are today, we are still not in Germany in the 1930s.
Aside from these historical and intellectual reasons, I also don't like applying the term fascist to Trump for practical reasons. If Trump were a fascist and we were in a similar situation to Germany in 1932 or Italy in 1921, certain measures would be justified. But we are not and they are not. And that remains important to emphasize, even if it does not mean downplaying the real threat that Trump and the version of the Republican Party that supports him pose to our country.
I think Trump is often concerned with what is called "ethnic outbidding" in the political science literature. In my opinion, the term “negative integration” is even more appropriate – a strategy for uniting a coalition by arousing fear / hatred of alleged enemies. Bismarck was the classic practitioner of the negative integration strategy.
As for Trump as a whole, I would still rather refer to him as an illiberal populist or right-wing populist. He has a lot in common with the right-wing populists who are out and about in Europe today.
Ruth Ben-Ghiat, professor of Italian and history at New York University
Trump undoubtedly uses fascist tactics, from rallies to rejuvenate the bond between leaders and supporters, to creating a "tribe" (MAGA hats, rituals like singing "lock them up," etc.) to releasing a volume of propaganda, that no American president had before. However, the political cultures that make up him and his close followers are not fascist, but rather reflect a broader authoritarian history. Paul Manafort and Roger Stone worked for Mobutu Sese Seko (Congolese dictator) and Ferdinand Marcos (Philippine president) before Trump, and Manafort also worked for Putin. They were working on Marcos' 1986 election which was widely condemned as fraudulent.
Trump's role models include leaders like Erdogan and Putin, who are not exactly fascists, but something else: authoritarians or rulers of strong men who also use masculinity as an instrument of rule.
I also prefer authoritarian versus fascist to describe Trump because the former capture how autocratic power works today. In the 21st century, fascist takeovers have been replaced by rulers who come to power through elections and then over time wipe out freedom.
Jason Brownlee, Professor of Government at the University of Texas at Austin
Of course, Trump's critics can use any terms and surnames.
I wouldn't say that the traditional idea of fascism fits Donald Trump any more in 2020 than it did before he took office. If historians and political scientists fully account for his actions and statements as president, I don't think fascism will play a prominent role in their analyzes. The prototypical fascist leaders – Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler (Austrian Chancellor) Engelbert Dollfuss – not only pursued right-wing politics, but also built up mass mobilizing parties and paramilitary organizations in order to push alternative movements aside and to establish individual movements, party dictatorship. I would rather describe Trump's politics differently and bring him to a different society.
Trump is a prominent, right-wing politician. He functions as a consummate demagogue, fabulist and ultra-nationalist, and he seems to have a strong tendency towards nepotism and kleptocracy. His efforts to use the presidency to finance his lifestyle and to enrich his family are similar to the plans of former Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos. Trump has not only benefited from his tenure, but also, like Marcos, has questioned the restrictions on executive power without investing resources in a sustainable political organization.
In other ways, Trump's political style is reminiscent of parts of the career of former Serbian President Slobodan Milošević. Like Milošević, Trump has advocated a very hierarchical, ethnically based, ultra-nationalist vision that advocates violence against outlying groups without building a single party, as interwar fascists did.
Jason Stanley, Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy at Yale University
When I think of fascism I think of it being applied to different things. There is a fascist regime. We don't have a fascist regime. Then the question arises: "Is Trumpism a fascist social and political movement?" I think Trumpism could rightly be called a fascist social and political movement – which doesn't mean Trump is a fascist. Trumpism includes a cult of the leader, and Trump embodies that. I certainly think he's using fascist political tactics. I think that's out of the question. He calls for a national restoration in the face of humiliation by immigrants, liberals, liberal minorities and the left. He certainly plays the fascist playbook.
My definition is fascist politics, not fascist regime. I think most of the others (fascism scholars) are just talking about something else. They talk about regimes. Toni Morrison said in 1995 that the United States had long favored fascist solutions to national problems. Toni Morrison speaks of "fascist solutions". She doesn't talk about fascist regimes. She says the United States has long favored fascist solutions in a democratic state, which I fully agree with: fight against minorities, mass incarceration, colonialism, seizure of indigenous land. All of these things influenced Hitler. My work is based on the United States – it is based on the movements that influenced European fascism: the KKK, Jim Crow, the anti-miscegenation law, slavery, the indigenous genocide, the 1924 immigration law and similar US – Immigration laws that praises Hitler in Mein Kampf.
If you only worry about fascist regimes, you will never catch fascist social and political movements. The aim is to capture fascist social and political movements as well as fascist ideology before it becomes a regime.

← More results in the US Presidential nominations race – have the winners really emerged?
British Anti-Semitism – what is all that about then? →
UK’s policing is institutionally flawed and in the dock – going down & time for fundamental change?
May 1, 2016 by dadman007
Most of Britain’s population believe in the Police Force and, believe that the bobbies on the beat, believe that the constables in the streets, believe that traffic cops on the motorways, believe that the officers in the panda cars, believe that police station operatives, believe that the detectives, believe that the scene of crime experts, are all there to protect us and collar the criminals. But is that innate Public regard and trust well founded and always valid, or is it misplaced and sometimes betrayed, eh?
Time after time after time, the Police get exposed as an organisation that abuses its undoubted power as it suits them when the chips are down. Then so called “Policing by consent” becomes an aspiration phrase rather than an actuality, and their integrity & accountability goes to the wall, doesn’t it? Many people, who have had any dealings with the Police or have even basic knowledge of what goes on, will know that they are anything but trustworthy when their needs must. We are not talking here about the opinions of the habitual criminals or those normally straight who cross the line and break the law, but your bog-standard Joe Public. Most of the time and in most circumstances, even when dealing with persistent wrong doers, our Police men and women exercise sound judgement, use minimum force, uphold the law fairly, are fastidiously polite, respectful, correct behaving, and supportive to the public, as well as being brave, self sacrificing, resilient, and strong characters, aren’t they?
It is when things somehow ‘go wrong’ when there has been adverse Police involvement or failure, possibly through overwork, incompetence, inefficiency, or perhaps even misfortune, that the deficiencies of our beloved Police rears its ugly head doesn’t it? That is when their organisational institutional self protectionism kicks-in, so their behaviour becomes either unacceptable or even illegal, and the subterfuges and lies burst out, isn’t it? Over past decades some scandals and incidents certainly see the light of day, but never get properly dealt with nor resolved, and we know that they are the visible tip of the iceberg, don’t we? We have seen plenty of evidence of systematic failures including institutional racism, haven’t we?
This is not a trait unique to the Police of course, as it is a dire affliction that we see all too often in other large setups which operate in splendid isolation with a significant power and influence to defend, when they are only up against inadequate controlling forces, isn’t it? Glaring examples include the NHS, the Armed Forces, Political Parties, International Corporations, Sporting Authorities, the State, the Government, and not least the Church, eh?
The current media grabbing distressing example involving Police is that concerning the unlawful killing of nearly a hundred individuals, and seven hundred-and-seventy others injured some very seriously, at Liverpool’s football match inside the Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield 27 years ago. It has finally been proved that avoidable and negligent mistakes made by senior Police officers and others resulted directly in this tragedy,. After a 2 year long trial, the truth of what went on has at last been verified, despite the Police’s diligent and prolonged efforts (not least by East Yorkshire’s Chief Constable) to achieve a further miscarriage of justice to supplement the previous cover-ups of their dreadful professional failures and blatant criminal fabrications and misrepresentations to escape exposure of their misdeeds.
To anyone who has any doubts, let it be said now that whatever transpires in the ongoing months, whoever lands in the dock, whether or not anyone lands up in jail, the bulk of those culpable will escape justice, won’t they? Furthermore, you can have no or little confidence that anything will have changed and the gun remains primed for it all to happen again in the future.
Is there any chance of changing this organisation, and bringing in true reform? No, not under current circumstances – there has to be a fundamental restructuring without silly ineffective ideas like the of introduction of elected crime commissioners, and not a tinkering about with so-called re-education programmes to ‘learn the lessons’, which have failed to be learnt time and time again (like on Domestic Violence & Abuse, Operation Countryman 1970’s corruption, Jimmy Savile, Stephen Lawrence, Lord Jenner, Rotherham child abuse, Phone hacking, North Wales child abuse, Georgia Williams murder, Ian Tomlinson unlawfully killed, Mark Kennedy covert false persona, Plebgate), or even merging some Police forces (has been mooted in South Yorkshire’s case?).
The existing currently underfunded territorial Police organisation under increasing pressure, has to be split up so that we no longer have only a single law enforcement function in the UK capable of investigation and action which inevitably leads onto the unimaginable power to control (not least referral of the of their investigations’ results upwards towards the courts), and subsequently as well have regularly experienced, to act as judge & jury when the police service themselves are involved – which has the ridiculous and bizarre outcome that they even investigate themselves when wrongdoing is suspected, eh?
In modern times the Police structure is well out of date (despite reviews just a decade ago) and a fundamental revamp is highly desirable – we now need to have two independent law enforcement agencies with their own priorities and a basic division of responsibilities and activities between them.
One set, a large sized Regionally based (total 15 with 8 in England, 4 in Scotland, 2 in Wales, 1 in NI) set-up to replace the current illogically fragmented structure (some 45 units in England alone) and dealing say with UK based criminals’ activity, to pursue perpetrators and bring them to justice, crime prevention, preservation of the Queen’s peace and maintenance of public order, protection of private & public individuals’ lives and property, defence of community facilities, and help to the community including policing public events.
[? Regions: North East, North West, Yorkshire & Humber, West Midlands, East Midlands, London, South East, South West, Highlands & Islands, South West of Scotland, Eastern Scotland, NE Scotland, North Wales, South Wales, Northern Island].
A second set, a UK wide role without our country or regional boundaries, overseas facing, focusing say on counter terrorism (in conjunction with security services), organised foreign criminal gangs and the like [whose criminal activity in current times are swallowing-up excessive resources and strangling community policing that it was originally set up to deal with by Robert Peel nigh on two hundred years ago. (The international criminal networks, particularly from the EU, are involved in activities such as drug trafficking, money laundering, credit card fraud, lorry and car ringing, document forgery, counterfeiting, trading in stolen antiques and works of art, people smuggling, and prostitution)], investigating disasters, as well as deterring major threats to public safety.
Boundaries and task responsibilities between the two sets will of necessity be blurred (as it is already with private security services), and that is all to the good. We desperately need to put a stop to our Police’s abandonment of dealing with so called petty criminals and trivial crime, in favour of targeting serious crimes, and remember the edict that one thing leads to another (‘broken windows’ policing). We have to stop our law enforcement agencies being overwhelmed by crime, so recognise and remedy the fact that the growth of population has not been matched with increased resources. We have to take action to halt the growing prevalence of street crime (robberies) and unacceptable rises in crime generally. Moreover, we need to invoke multi-agency application to community crime problems so that the Police are not unsupported except by the likes of Neighbourhood Crimewatch, eh?
[The law-abiding citizen and the rule-respecting population or Britain deserve more adequate policing against the criminal classes and the offensive behaviour of an increasing number of miscreants committing crimes, who then escape appropriate punishment by society – surely that requires urgent action, doesn’t it?]]

Yes, I actually knew that. It's one of many things that need to change.

If there were as many Timpas as Floyds, somehow I think the police would have been reformed a long time ago?
The closest thing we have to the numbers you’re looking for is here, in the Washington Post’s database on police shootings. Keep in mind that this is specifically on shootings, so neither Timpa nor Floyd are captured in that database, specifically. I’m not aware of any solid data on chokehold or non-shooting related deaths. The Bureau of Justice Statistics does have a national database on broader use of force, but police departments are not required to report any information to it, and less than half of them do.
The Post’s database has very clear numbers, but they are also a great illustration of how statistics can be twisted. Half of the overall victims of police shootings recorded in the database were white, so someone could tell you with a straight face that there are more Timpas than Floyds. But when you compare the rate that black people are killed by police to their percentage of the population, the rate of black people killed by police shootings is much, much higher.

What George Floyd's murder proved in a way that no one can ignore is that we have a system which, in its design, allows the murder of people of color in ways and numbers that white people would not be, and are not murdered.
Tony Timpa would disagree.
I see this because the way I read the original comment it gave off very strong vibes of "this only happens to black people" even though on a second reading I can see that it doesn't necessarily have that connotation.
I understand your mileage may vary, but I had to read it more than once to catch that it was not, in fact, saying that the issue is limited to only POC. My initial reaction was similar to what Hazard wrote.

Me too, actually, but these type of messages require careful reading. And context awareness. This discussion has been in the context of "yes, shit is hitting the fan everywhere, and for everyone, but this type of treatment has been relatively far worse for THIS group"
EDIT: and things will be better for EVERYONE if we give agressive people less victims to get their "fix", highlighting were the leaks are further and stopping the leaks.
I'd go so far as to say that Power hungry people don't discriminate as much as they pick which group they are most likely to get away with putting their metaphorical knee-at-the-neck on. But maybe that's optimistic.
EDIT: And with this statement I am kind of indirectly making new points that I am not further elaborating on right now but I will get back to this soon.

It’s a sensitive topic so I think it’s fair to expect careful communication while we’re visiting someone else’s thread. Especially when that person was just expressing frustration and impotent rage over the subject.
Not as censorship- I’m pretty sure we can discuss anything from all angles, as long as everyone is carefully trying to understand the other and carefully trying to make him/herself understood.

Point taken. In retrospect, I wouldn’t be surprised if that misunderstanding is a fairly common one.
It really is lovely is great to see how civil a discussion like this can be! Thank you. 😊I've been mulling things over (a lot of things!) and for this particular person I decided to let it go. I said a lot of the same things you've suggested and even if it wasn't the most eloquent in the heat of the moment I hope other people took note of the sentiment. For him there never was a chance, it really isn't fear or any of those things. This is a person who has straight out told me I'm worth less as a person if I don't get children, and that it's wrong to portray gay and interracial sex in sex ed because the kids might end up curious and/or believing it's ok. This he said in a company where one person was brown, the other had just had and mixed race baby and the third one was me.
I was going to write "in other news" but there's really nothing happening. 😄I've had a few days of basically recuperating. Especially on Sunday I caught a bout of extreme fatigue which I solved by watching all three Despicable Me movies haha. (The last one was not worth it) I know some of you are also tired and hurt and stressed and I just want to say that it's especially important to take care of your mental health these trying days. It might feel wrong to turn away from the news but you just cannot be a useful helping human being if you're too tired or are too emotional to think straight and act well.
What else. I've spent some time working on a drawing but it's not coming along and I've had to take a break from it. Fitness is still not happening, and it's still weirding me out. I did go for a swim one of the days! It's still flippin' cold, but feels really good. Today I took my laptop to a café and worked from their porch for half the day and I've got to say I'm absolutely loving WFH days like this and I'm in no hurry to go back to the office. 😄

This is kinda what I meant with some people not so much discriminating bc they truly believe someone is worth less but because it gives them a power trip.
For such people it usually isn't just race, or women, or sexual minorities or w/e.
It's everything they can get away with trampling over. It's addictive so it's difficult for them to stop. Cue ---> thought habit ---> reward.
Not sure but it really seems that way 🤔
Not to mention it's much easier to put others down than to be better yourself. But those are all more vague statements that I will think about how to elaborate more on another time haha

I can sort of see what you're getting at, but I'm not sure what the difference is in the end?

The difference is that you can spot more easily which strategy is needed with which group.
People who are trying to make sense of the world and be a better part of it but have prejudices? Spend time on.
People who just seek power trips? Go for more short term measures and focus om other ways to make progress to happen so they simply aren't allowed to get away with it on such a deep level haha
Ah ok, gotcha. I was thinking more about the outcome of the person's actions, and not how my own actions would inform their behaviour. That makes sense.

This has been a coping mechanism of mine for a long time. I've gotten very comfortable with flat out telling people when I'm not watching the news and not 'keeping up' on purpose. I used to feel bad/guilty/embarrassed about it, but keeping your own mental health intact is an important step to take.

I am really starting to feel that, based purely on how often I have seen this expressed here lately, "Put on your own oxygen mask before you help others" needs to be some kind of official Nerd Fitness motto...

This has been my approach too, for years. I didn't see the point of reading news that I couldn't affect anyway. The only purpose it'd serve would be as a conversation piece, but honestly what I found was that it's much more useful to watch GoT or whatever's trending than the news, both in social situation and for my sanity. 🤷♀️For the past few months it's just been really, really hard to avoid.

So true. 😁
Another challenge, another flop. Not too surprising given the challenge title. 😛But honestly I don't even know what I'm doing at this point. I'm on a fitness challenge forum, doing neither fitness nor challenges. 🤔What makes it extra weird is that I'm feeling great and summer and life here are in full swing. It's just all so confusing.
Braindump/misc rambling thoughts that I'm having trouble making sense of. Or maybe I do but I just don't like it.
Fitness: I'm really not sure what to do here. It's like I've suddenly lost a big part of my identity, but I'm also ok with it? Like there's finally more room for other identities to take that spot (not to mention time and energy). But I also really believe that movement is a hugely important part of being human, so I can't go on being this sedentary for ever. Does that mean I should start doing muggle things, for health? That sounds dull. Just do some social climbing? That feels weird somehow, and not in the good way. I could also pick up one of my old hobbies, and hope that by doing I'll find inspiration again. The thing that is still calling to me is pole, for many reasons, but one of them is that maybe I'm still a little intrigued by the idea of one day creating something with it, just to see what it's like. But it feels oddly daunting to start from scratch, I'm just so unfamiliar with this feeling that I feel physically and mentally fine, have plenty of energy and yet I'm not throwing myself upside down.
Art: Speaking of identities, the thing that's taking more and more space in my life is art. I'm still not managing to draw anywhere near as much as I'd like, and there's way too many days where I do nothing, but somehow it feels like this is really important and I'm on the right track. But it also makes me really sad that I started this late and the mountain is so huge and I suck so much and it would've been fine if I felt like I've had time, but I don't, it feel like it's running out.
Work: As in - I hate my job and I don't know for how long I'll be able to last. What makes it worse is that there's so many new things going on in the company, we're building new frameworks, picking shiny new languages, shiny new tools, basically we're doing all the things developers love to do and get to do very rarely. And I just don't care. Somehow it was better when I was plodding along, doing the same mechanical things, than this contrast between the excitement from my colleague vs the complete disinterest on my part. It just makes it painfully clear that I've gone deeeep in the wrong direction. Which I already knew, but it feels so much worse now.
Money: The problem is that I still really don't know what I'd like to do, and I still don't have any skills and it's still very stressful. At the beginning of the year I had a vague idea of setting it all on fire (thanks world for doing it for me!) and go traveling for a while, but 1) I don't know when I'll be free to to do so and 2) as much as it pains me it probably doesn't make sense. At some point I will have to make a complete career redirect and the more money I have, in other words the more time I have, the better I'll feel about it. The thing that makes sense is to stick with this job for as long as I can and try to figure something out quickly before I spontaneously quit my job and start planting flowers or sell ice cream.
Business: The thing that could maaaaaybe give me a way out is if I could turn my dad's jewelry making into an actual business. My parents are impossible to deal with and while they do want to make it happen they also need huge amounts of pressuring. But in theory we wouldn't have to sell much to get at least a decent side income if not cover all our expenses. And if it doesn't work then I'd at least get experience in the things that they want me to do - marketing, talking to people, copywriting, making the website, pushing them to action. I don't have any skills either in most of those things, but they can't do it on their own, and it might come in handy in whatever I end up doing.
Scheduling: So now I have a few things to juggle - trying to get back to movement, do more art, keep my job, work on my parents business, plus you know, do the adulting and have a social life. I'm absolutely awful at scheduling and routines, but I think I really have to learn, both for my current list and for however my life might change in the future. But again, I don't really know how when every other attempt has failed...
Hah, and @Tobbe said I'm too young to have a midlife crisis, well eat this! 😆
@mu
The business bit is interesting I think you're quite an interdisciplinary person and it would fit you if I may say so.
It's interesting you used the word "fitness". Yes it is "fitness" technically I guess, but maybe that's what boring you a tad bit, and why perhaps pole is calling you, because it has artistic elements in it. Personally, yes I know I do "fitness" in a way, with repetitive workouts with reps and hold times, and all that stuff, but every so often, I need movement for creativity (or some body self-consciousness, I don't know how to call it) and I think that drive is my primary mover actually, not the fitness bit. "Fitness building" helps of course because then I get to have more choices in the moves I can do and my body gets super excited by that but I enjoy it as a mean not as a purpose in itself. If that makes any sense. And not wanting to put words in your mouth, but I do feel it's a bit like that for you too in a way. And you're more sensitive to boredom / repetitiveness than I am maybe.
And art ❤️ this has been such a big change these past challenges. I hope you don't dwell to much on starting late etc. You do not suck at all, quite the opposite! You have so low self-confidence sometimes, and it's a mental defense that keeps coming back that one (I suck, what's the point). I hope you find a way over time to let the head weasels play their little game without affecting you too much.

I can absolutely see myself juggling a few different hats at the same time, or working from project to project. I find myself missing this a lot now actually. In my current job I'm just a developer. In my previous job I was a developer, a physicist, sometimes a teacher, sometimes a demonstrator, sometimes I worked with clients in various capacities. When I was in Oz it did get a little toooo crazy when I had to change from physicist to sales person within the same meeting, true. But overall it kept me interested in what I was doing for way longer and it was a lot more fun that way. The thing that intimidates me a little is that I'd have to become an organized person. 😅And not let my mood swings get in the way... But right now I'm also in a prime position to work on this, I work remotely and don't have any other obligations.
I used the word fitness on purpose because this is a fitness forum. 😛But I really dislike the term, for me personally fitness is something you should do, and is devoid of joy. I do realize that crossfit has taken over the word and is actually a lot of fun for many people, but that's a different story. So I used the word because if we for a second make the hypothetical assumption that I've lost the "must be upside down" part of my identity, I'd still have to start doing "fitness" in order to keep healthy. But let's be real, the notion is ridiculous. I'd hate it and it doesn't even make sense. Just because I started letting other things play a bigger part in my life doesn't mean that I should replace one identity with another. It's much healthier to not lock myself into one side of me, but to able to shift priorities as needed. And it's impossible that I've suddenly stopped enjoying being upside down or do stupid human tricks. 😄
The artistic elements are definitely part of why I really like pole. It's also because it has elements of so many things that are cool - strength, dance, flips, flexibility, handstands. There's also a huge diversity in style, ages, body type. And it's still evolving, both as an art form, but also as an industry (one of the few female dominated industries too!). Circus has some of these elements too, but not within the same discipline, and it's a lot less forgiving when it comes to physical conditioning.
Thank you, just having this little conversation has already clarified a lot! And I'm even getting excited to start again, as a beginner.
Nah I don't dwell on starting too late, it's only in the context of the "what ifs? What options would I have had done now, had I not stopped? What if I'd taken a different path when I was young? I know it's not helpful at all and I do try to avoid it. I also believe that there's a timeline for everything and it probably would've been a bad option at the time. But what's stressful is that it's like the relative timeline for quitting my job is extremely short, while my timeline for getting good at anything, art or otherwise, is extremely long and I somehow need to reconcile the two.
It's funny you say low self-confidence. It's true that I say that I suck, but my bar is professional level work. Not saying that I necessarily want to be a professional (not because of age, but because of strings attached) but that's the level I'd like to reach one day. Yep that's me saying it out loud! And while I objectively look at what I do and it sucks and it's really hard and I can see mistake after mistake, when I look at other people's work, I actually do believe that I could get there given enough experience. The difficulties in getting started has less to do with brain weasels, and more to do with that most things require a lot of concentration at this point, and sometimes it's hard to come by the mental energy. This didn't use to be the case though!
But you're right in that it's probably not very helpful to say that I suck, and it's really not very fun to read. 😕Incidentally I was listening to an art podcast and the host mentioned how much he hates when artists post things on say IG with a disclaimer - this is unfinished, it's not very good, it's just a quick sketch, I'm only playing, only learning. Rather than just saying hey this is the best I can do right now, I hope you like it, and leave it at that. I... need to practice that. 🙂
Thank youuu! ❤️
On a less "Life Y U So Hard" note - I had such a nice day today! We went climbing, and for the first time since I got back to it I felt like I was really climbing. Not just surviving. 😛My body was moving well and connected and not like an assorted collection of limbs. It's a good feeling! Afterwards we went to the beach and swam and played Bohnanza, which was fun despite that I lost... 😉I'm also just really happy that I've had 3 days in a row of seeing friends AND sunshine. While I'm grateful that video calls are a thing now, it's really not the same.

Still no tattoos or convertible cars... 😄😛
But honestly I don't even know what I'm doing at this point. I'm on a fitness challenge forum, doing neither fitness nor challenges. 🤔
I obviously can't speak for anyone else, but to me that's perfectly fine. And, besides, you're 100% doing challenges. Just look at that list you posted - it's pretty clear you have plenty of challenges, and you're working on them too, by just writing them down, and that's great!
What makes it extra weird is that I'm feeling great and summer and life here are in full swing. It's just all so confusing.
To hear you say that you're feeling great is such a big change to how you expressed your feelings just a little while ago. Is it the "hugs" *wink* *wink* 😛 But seriously though, your better mood will give you some extra energy to deal with all the thoughts that have come up 🧠
Fitness: [...] I also really believe that movement is a hugely important part of being human, so I can't go on being this sedentary for ever.
💯 And you won't be sedentary forever. There will come a time when the itch to move becomes too strong. And when it does, just do whatever you feel like. Yes, movement is important, but in what form is not important at all. You (we) don't have to focus at one thing at be great at that. Of course it's fun to be good at something, but for general health that doesn't matter at all.
[...] muggle things [...] social climbing [...] pick up one of my old hobbies [...] pole
Try it all! See what sparks some joy! Don't focus on performance, just move 🤸♀️
Work: As in - I hate my job and I don't know for how long I'll be able to last.
I know the feeling of just wanting out. I didn't want to get out of my field, but I just had to get out of the place I was at. And it's tough. Not knowing what to do instead, or how to change the situation, is difficult.
If you're not passionate about what you do anymore, people will start noticing, and it will only suck more. So yeah, definitely take your time to think about this. Make plans. See if/how you can work towards where you want to go with what you have and where you are right now.
Money: The problem is that I still really don't know what I'd like to do, and I still don't have any skills and it's still very stressful.
Of course you have skills! And if nothing else, at least you have the skills to learn what you need to know whatever you decide you want to do.
At the beginning of the year I had a vague idea of setting it all on fire (thanks world for doing it for me!) and go traveling for a while, but 1) I don't know when I'll be free to to do so and
What do you mean "free to do so"? Quit your job today and you should be free to go in at most three months, no?
2) as much as it pains me it probably doesn't make sense.
Does it ever? Travel is almost always only something we do for our own sake. As much as we want it to solve all of our problems it never does. Go travel because you want to, because it's fun! Not as a way to find the answer to all of life's questions.
At some point I will have to make a complete career redirect and the more money I have, in other words the more time I have, the better I'll feel about it.
The more money you have, the easier it'll be. But I'm not so sure that will necessarily make you feel any better about it. It will always be scary, we will always be afraid of making the wrong choices.
The thing that makes sense is to stick with this job for as long as I can and try to figure something out quickly before I spontaneously quit my job and start planting flowers or sell ice cream.
So what if you start planting flowers or sell ice cream? You have no one else than yourself to take care of. No obligations to anyone to earn so or so much money, or to have any specific kind of job.
Business: The thing that could maaaaaybe give me a way out is if I could turn my dad's jewelry making into an actual business.
I know this is a fitness challenge forum, but this is something I'd love to read about! And besides, that would fit squarely in to the "personal development" box that a lot of us write about. Call it part of the "mindset" category if you must.
My parents are impossible to deal with and while they do want to make it happen they also need huge amounts of pressuring.
I must admit that when I first read about your idea of running a business with your dad I was very surprised. From what I've previously read you two can have some challenging interactions sometimes... Please be careful, and think about your mental health too.
But in theory we wouldn't have to sell much to get at least a decent side income if not cover all our expenses.
Clearly I know nothing about the jewelry business, but you really think you could sell enough to cover three salaries + materials and everything else needed? If so, very nice opportunity! 🤑
And if it doesn't work then I'd at least get experience in the things that they want me to do
"They" want you to do!? But what about you? Is it something that *you* want to do?
Could it be as simple as you haven't ever truly needed to do proper scheduling? That's why you feel you're not all that good at it? You've gotten this far with the kind and level of scheduling you've been doing. So if you stayed on the same path it would continue to work for you, right?
If you changed path, maybe you'd find you really had to do more scheduling (and stick to it), and then maybe you'd also get good/better at it -- out of necessity!

😀Haha only because 1) I haven't figured out what I'd like my first one to be, and 2) I don't want things 😛
Not professional ones. And yes I can learn, but I need to know what to learn first. It's easy to say make a plan, then follow it, but I need at least a vague direction first.
I really don't know how this is going to pan out. Different countries are on different timelines, not to mention potential second waves, or political unrest as a result of increased poverty...
It is fun, but honestly I have more important things to do. Like figuring out all of life's questions hahaa. 😅Travel would be an easy way to escape the grind and give myself more room, but it was always just this vague idea, and not a life goal as such.
Sure. But there's a very real, practical component too. Say I'll have to go back to school, or need other start up costs for whatever reason. I'd rather not get into into debt to do that. I'd also prefer to be able to focus entirely on whatever I'm doing than ending up in a situation where I'm forced to take bad jobs just to pay the bills. If I spend my savings on travel I might end up shooting myself in the foot long term.
Those are not things I want to do either. And I have an obligation to myself to find something else to do... But you're absolutely right in that I don't need to have a specific kind of job, and I couldn't care less about my title. (Unless they'd change my master's degree to Mistress of Science. That's a good title.)
That's a very valid concern. And I have thought about it. A lot. I've even talked to my parents about this, and about boundaries. I think it was @Scalyfreak who suggested communicating via email and I've started sending questions via email instead to give them time to think and I think that's a good approach. Also separating business related talk with personal chats. I think it can work out, as long as we're clear on our roles and don't butt into each other's business too much. 😛But it will be a challenge for sure and it might all go to hell. But I also think it'd be cool to try and build something. The nice thing about doing this is that it's a good learning opportunity, but at the same time I'm not emotionally or financially invested in it.
My dad is unemployed, my mum works in a restaurant and I live fairly cheaply. So I do think it's possible, one day. The stuff he makes are elaborate one off pieces, which take a long time to make, and will have to cost a lot as a result. Pricing is something to be figured out, but my guesstimate is that we'd have to sell 1-2 pieces a month to cover basic bills, which does not sound unreasonable to me.
Well, my uni life would've been much less bumpy with proper scheduling. 😄Since then I haven't needed it, work and classes have provided my schedule. And at work I always have a clear hierarchy of the things I need to get done. But even at work, sometimes I get stuck on something and work for a long time, sometimes I have days where I do next to nothing... But no, with my current method I won't be able to do everything I want to do. I waste too much time. Necessity is a great teacher, but then again, it'd make my life less stressful in the future to learn those skills now that I'm in a comfortable spot.
Actually I think that'd be a good focus for upcoming challenges. 🙂
Thanks for all the good thoughts!
Ever since I looked for a fun gif of the mad hatter to post here, I have been getting YT recommendations for various Mad Hatter videos. I am not complaining
Check out this on topic one:
And this unrelated one:
The thing that intimidates me a little is that I'd have to become an organized person. 😅And not let my mood swings get in the way... But right now I'm also in a prime position to work on this, I work remotely and don't have any other obligations.
As a business owner with somewhat similar problems I can tell you that it's very far from ideal... but that doesn't mean it won't work out. My business would definitely be loads better if i could organise things better.. but.. it's running. I've lost clients because of my mood swings, especially because they make me stop replying for days.. but i've found enough that stick with me even through that. And i've learned to break the "oh i havent called this person in days i cant handle doing it now and its going to get worse and worse" faster.. which are the type of things you'll only learn when you are in the middle of it you know? (and lets not mention that person ive not contacted in the last 4 months, okay?) I just try to make up for all the mess in the periods that i'm super productive and try to work ahead or set up things that will make things a bit less bad when i fall away from the face of the earth again for a bit.
All this to say; go for it. You'll learn and get better at the things you absolutely need to as you go, and you'll learn to work around things, and you'll crash and burn and make mistakes and lose opportunities, but whatever, it'll balance out.
I hope that was somewhat more hopeful than depressing?

Season 1 "The One With George Stephanopoulos" 1x4
Aired 26 years ago - Oct 13, 1994
This is the one where Ross mourns the anniversary of losing his virginity to Carol while at a hockey game with the guys. Rachel gets her first paycheck, the girls have a slumber party, and George Stephanopoulos's pizza is delivered to Monica by mistake.
...and couldn't decide which one of you got to bring a date? Huh?
Today's the day Carol and I...
I think I'm just gonna go home and think about my ex-wife and her lesbian lover.
Who's FICA? Why's he getting all my money?
- Ooh. - Oh, yeah.
CHANDLER & JOEY: Hockey. - Hockey. Hockey. Hockey.
Well, we were in the city shopping, and your mom said you work here...
...you know.
- That night, we, uh, had-- - Peaches?
Hey, that woman's got an ass like Carol's.
- All right, let's talk reality for a second. - Okay.
I mean, I'm...
Okay, how would you like some Tiki Death Punch?
But I lost the tweezers, so we can't operate.
- But I haven't used my card in weeks. - That is the unusual activity.
[IN STRAINED VOICE] Let's play Twister.
Plastic seats? Four thousand angry Pittsburgh fans?
See, he gave up something, but then he got those magic beans.
Okay, I know I didn't love him, but--
You gotta figure, at some point, it's gonna come together...
That's all you need, a bunch of toothless guys hitting each other with sticks.
"' Got it! _HeY he ' y' We 90t itl
I wake up and I start to cry
MAN: Pizza guy.
We ordered a fat-free crust with extra cheese.
What? Are you nuts? We've got George Stephanopoulos' pizza.
PHOEBE: Oh, I wanna see. Let me see. Let me see.
Tell me it's his mother.
Oh, come on, Dora. Don't be mad.
Well, maybe they're napping.
And then when you do, he's a preppy animal.
Could I get some painkillers over here, please?
That she left you for a woman that likes Women?
[MONICA & RACHEL GIGGLE]
Oh, that's nice.
She was a big girl.

Family relationships of older, rural women: Stability and change
Jean Pearson Scott
Human Development and Family Studies
The purpose of the study was to examine stability and change in family interaction patterns (availability, interaction, and assistance) of older, rural women as they moved from young-old to late old age. Women (N = 96) were interviewed at two times, twelve years apart. Although there were family network losses, most notably loss of spouse and siblings, family availability and contact showed more stability than change. By late old age, the women were receiving significantly more help from adult children relative to what they gave. Proximity of the adult child was most salient as a predictor of help received from children at both Times 1 and 2. Quality of the adult child relationship was higher for women who received more types of help from adult children at Time 2. The findings suggest that with loss of family members, proximate kin may take up the slack in providing support to rural women of advanced age.

Hibbleton

Songs Performed
"Barbara Anne"
"My Ocardial Infarction"
Hibbleton is Janitor's a capella band he made up to cover up his crush on Elliot.
Hibbleton is the name of the Janitor's a cappella band. They were formed after Janitor asked Elliot for a coffee, but embarrassed himself when he wore a suit when they met up because he thought it was a real date. He covered it up by later making up the excuse that he was wearing a suit because he had just got back from performing with his a capella group which he claimed to be the best in town - but unfortunately The Worthless Peons overheard this and challenged him to a competition. Janitor then recruited Troy and Randall to join him with the intention that they would forfeit the competition after the Worthless Peons perform, but they are pressured into performing. They then started improvising "Barbara Anne" and to everyone's surprise, it actually goes rather well and Elliot announces them the winner of the competition. ("My Ocardial Infarction") They have not been seen performing since.

DHA Speakers Stream Live on Social Media
I started this experiment a couple of months ago to determine the best method of documenting Dunwoody Homeowner Association speakers. No matter what meeting night you pick, there's someone who's interested and can't make it. Plus, there are those whose only source of information are news articles which are limited by definition and get reinterpreted far and wide.
For ease of use, I'm currently streaming to Facebook and then leaving the videos open to sharing and embedding. Please DO share - good decisions are made with good information and video documentation is the best standard we have.
My FB videos (not all of these are DHA):
https://www.facebook.com/sdocpublishing/videos_by
Watch for announcements on FB and Twitter when a DHA meeting is coming up.
To start off, here are our speakers from August 14
Seth Weissman and his talk about city policy making and the DHA
Transwestern development proposal
Proposal for "farm house car wash" corner - new neighborhood scale restaurant?
Will the Dunwoody Village Car Wash transform into something new? Visit the Dunwoody Homeowners Association meeting on August 14
Dunwoody Homeowners Association
Sunday, August 14, 2016 @ 7:30 P.M.
North DeKalb Cultural Arts Center, Room 4
5339 Chamblee Dunwoody Rd,
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend
1. Announcements and introduction of distinguished visitors
2. Approval of minutes for July 10, 2016 meeting—Lindsay Ballow
3. DHA members servicing on city boards legal memorandum – Seth Weissman
This will be a major discussion as Mr. Weissman literally wrote the textbook on how civic groups and HOAs interact with local governments and the ethics/law involved. I expect it will be educational. The DHA anticipated there would be questions about its role back in 2008 when the vote for incorporation was looming and acknowledged that the advocacy and public sounding board would remain the same - just with a different government. DHA board also anticipated that some members would be elected to office and thus the rule was made to move any member in an elected office to be moved to "ex-officio" status.
4. Presentation – Transwestern development proposal for office tower at Perimeter Mall –Jessica Hill, Morris, Manning & Martin and Trent Germano, Transwestern Development Company
They're baaaaaack! This is the development group that wants to build an office tower in the Perimeter area but get a tax abatement at the same time. Michael Starling is supposed to have an explanation as to how this works and how the community benefits, but we have to wait until September to hear his side of it.
5. Presentation – Redevelopment proposal for property at the corner of Chamblee-Dunwoody and Mt. Vernon (currently a car wash)—Archie Archie Wanamaker, Crim & Associates and Michael Ritch SDG Engineering
For years, some in our community have complained about the presence of a car wash right across Mt Vernon from the Cheek-Spruill Farmhouse. It was the subject of an ill-advised boycott attempt in 2004. It looks like a developer wants to transform that corner into something new. This will be the first look at the vision for that corner that may inspire the rest of the Village.
Will the Dunwoody Village Car Wash transform into ...

History, Traditions & Grounds
UVA set to open for in-person classes Sept. 8
Sanjay Suchak
Citing improved coronavirus prevalence numbers locally and across the state, a strengthened testing supply chain, and a successful summer dry-run in which thousands of students returned to Grounds without causing an unmanageable spike in cases, the University of Virginia is moving forward with plans to begin in-person instruction Sept. 8.
In announcing the decision Aug. 28, senior leadership acknowledged that not everyone agrees with the call, and that, inevitably, some will contract the virus—possibly in numbers that will require a reversal of course, as has happened at other schools.
The benefits of in-person instruction, however, make the effort that goes into returning worth it, President James E. Ryan (Law ’92) and his three executive vice presidents—Provost M. Elizabeth “Liz” Magill (Law ’95), healthy system head Craig Kent and COO Jennifer “J.J.” Wagner Davis said in making the announcement.
“Some critical parts of a college education cannot be replicated online,” they said.
Virginia earlier this month delayed the start of in-person classes by two weeks. The University has learned from the lessons of outbreaks at other schools, and has ramped up testing plans, created additional spaces for quarantine and isolation, and focused on communicating “behavioral expectations” to students, the announcement said.
Most outbreaks elsewhere have been tied to off-campus gatherings, not to on-campus housing and classrooms, the leaders said. Moving classes entirely online would not address those problems, they said.
“Indeed, our public health experts believe that classrooms are very low-risk environments,” the statement said.
Having students on Grounds, with testing in place and public health measures enforced, will put officials in a better position to contain any outbreaks, the leaders said.
Roughly 15,000 students are already in town, and the vast majority are following protocols that require social distancing and wearing face coverings, the leaders said. Even so, a “slight” expected and manageable uptick in cases has occurred, they said. As of Monday, August 31, the University’s Covid Tracker reported 115 total cases, with 83 of them students. The tracker does not include results of students who tested at home before returning to Grounds. Of 16,663 tests given, 50 were positive.
Earlier in August, Dean of Students Allen W. Groves (Law ’90) released a video urging students to follow the health precautions regarding face-coverings and gatherings, and outlining the consequences for failing to do so—including immediate suspension for at least a semester.
Ryan and his executive vice presidents emphasized that they care for the health and safety of the community at large. The decision to re-open was “extremely difficult” and only reached after considering all perspectives, they stressed.
“One thing we have learned from this virus is that you can do everything in your power to plan and prepare, and it still might not be enough, as things can change rapidly. That is why we will continue to monitor conditions closely and, if necessary, send students home.”
Here are updates of how life on Grounds will look:
Students, faculty, staff and UVA Health employees are required to complete a health check through an app every day that they will be on Grounds or working in a UVA Health facility.
The Covid Tracker, launched last week, will up be updated daily, Monday through Friday.
Gatherings will be limited to 15 people or fewer.
Asymptomatic testing will be offered to faculty and staff in the academic division and contracted workers on a limited, first-come, first-served basis.
Fraternities and sororities have suspended in-person activities.
To allow for social distancing, dormitories will be two-thirds full, housing approximately 4,400 students. Wastewater at dorms will be monitored for the presence of the coronavirus. If there is evidence of an outbreak, everyone in the dorm will be tested.

Academic Writing Life
Need writing help? You've come to the right place!
About the author of this blog
The Most Common Mistakes in Academic Writing
Have you been getting lower grades every time you submit your essay? Maybe it is already affecting your self-esteem, and you think the lecturer hates you for some reason. That is not the case. Have you considered that you could be making mistakes in your essays? Remember that no matter how compelling your essay appears, glaring mistakes and errors will put off your readers. Below are mistakes to avoid.
A Vague Thesis Statement
A good essay statement should provide the basis of your argument. The reader should understand what to expect in your essay since the essay will revolve around it. A vague thesis is confusing. It will demotivate the reader from reading the entire document.
Long Confusing Sentences
The mind can understand short and precise sentences with ease. If you write long sentences, they end up confusing the reader. It would be best if you avoid including unnecessary phrases in your essay. Again, you can try breaking the sentence in two without changing the meaning. Do not forget to remove all fluffy words.
Poor Introduction
When writing an introduction, you should write short sentences. Avoid repeating the title and keep it brief. Let it be engaging to the reader. It should explain what the article is all about and highlight its importance. Unfortunately, many students craft a poor introduction. They make long and use long sentences. They do not include a hook to entice their readers to read. In return, they get a bad grade.
Luckily, you do not have to get a poor grade anymore. The experts who write my paper for money are ready to craft your essay. Their charges are reasonable. Do not worry about the deadline since they deliver on time.
Baseless Arguments
You could be getting a poor grade because you are giving unfounded arguments. Every claim that you provide, you need to support it with relevant evidence. That will give credibility to your essay.
Are you using passive voice in your essays? Passive voice makes your essay boring and puzzling to read. Active voice helps you avoid many grammatical errors and makes your writing concise and efficient. It makes your essay engaging and essay to read.
Fluffy Words
Nothing is boring, like reading an essay full of fluffy words. It puts off the readers, and they feel like they are wasting their time. In most cases, choosing the wrong topic that contains scanty information tempts the students to include junks. To avoid this, choose an exciting topic full of materials. Edit your work and remove any junk.
Poor Conclusion
The conclusion should summarize the essay and bring it to a close. Unfortunately, many students leave the readers hanging in the end. Some introduce a new idea, which should not be the case. Instead of summarizing, it acts as a continuation of the body. When the lecturer sees such a conclusion, expect to receive a humiliating grade.
Failure to Proofread and Edit
Your draft may contain a lot of errors and mistakes. It could be that some sentences lack a flow. If you fail to proofread and edit the work, you will submit an essay littered with errors. No one wants to read such an essay.
You can improve your writing skills by eliminating academic writing mistakes. Some mistakes include poor introduction and conclusion. Also, some use long sentences and a vague thesis. You could be writing sentences full of fluffy words while providing baseless arguments. Also, failing to proofread and edit their work. It would help if you polished your essay before submitting it. You can also request experts to help you by writing a compelling essay for you at a fee. Once you eliminate all the mistakes and deliver quality, expect a good grade.
The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli
The novel centers on how to attain and uphold political authority. Throughout the 26 chapters, the author discusses the ideologies that should be supported by a grand regime. The plot takes the readers through kinds of princedoms, types of militaries, the conduct of a prince and the anxious political situation in Italy. The book illustrates the ideas in the form of counsels with the aim of guiding rulers. The final chapter sees the author appeal to the Medici family to supply a monarch to deliver the country from mortification. Indeed, much of the advice given to the prince regards between prosperous and futile modes of leadership.
Counsel on Armies
The author recommends for comprehensive laws and an able military for a territory to attack or shield itself. He disregards acts of leaders relying on military help from associates. And so, the ability of an emir to take his army to a field is an indicator of self-sufficiency. As identified in the text, “a wise prince therefore avoids dependence on these forces and relies on his own” (Machiavelli & Goodwin 82). This is because if they lose the princedom collapses and if they win the ruler operates under their favor. Besides, lenders may use their soldiers to turn against a kingdom. He asserts that princes who have weaker armies should fortify their territories instead of using military support. In light of this, a princedom with sturdy military and secured boundaries can withstand a siege. Machiavelli also uses an account of several leadership failures in Italy to criticize the use of hired soldiers. Mercenaries are unruly, fainthearted and treacherous. Nevertheless, the fact that borrowed soldiers have unity and are controlled by competent leaders makes them dangerous than mercenaries. As a result, the supporting soldiers could turn against a princedom effortlessly than mercenaries. An emir is always required to take caution on military matters. Indeed, war can assist a hereditary leader to remain in power or facilitate a civilian ascend to power.
Advice on a Prince’s Virtues
Machiavelli asserts that it is better to be feared than loved. The skeptic argument is based on shaping relationships between a leader and the subject. He highlights that “it is much safer to be feared than loved (Machiavelli & Goodwin 94). The approach is compared with fear, in which the author affirms that agitation can be applied to initiate fear, but hardships create an opposite response. The author employs a realistic justification —people may easily injure leaders who sought to delight public then those induce fear —to endorse fear. The subject views leaders who use fear as supreme and final. However, the notch of terror should be controlled to avoid developing hatred. Machiavelli also highlights that fear can be applied to unite the army and to some extent cruelty may be used as a reinforcement. His assertion suggests that fear is the sole way the prince can obtain total respect from his soldiers. For instance, he uses an account of two military leaders to prove the importance of fear in leadership. The first is Scipio, who encountered numerous rebellions due to his excessive mercy while as the second is Hannibal, who despite having a multiethnic army, it was always obedient because they feared him (Machiavelli & Goodwin 95). Without a doubt, fear is a pragmatic tool for obtaining loyalty and respect.
Advice on Conquest
Conquest by Fortune
The author holds that leaders who easily gain power may also lose it similarly. He gives a justification by saying that princes who ascend to power through fortune or influential people may experience a difficult time in retaining power (Machiavelli & Goodwin 82). For instance, the prince is forced to operate according to his backers’ will. Hence, he does not receive enough loyalty and may be easy to withdraw the soldiers from him because he has limited skills and strength. The author alternatively points out that a prince may make several political maneuvers to achieve stability despite having acquired power through the help of others. For instance, the leader may win the allegiance of followers by appeasing them with money and impressive administration posts. In addition, the prince can impose harsh measures to mercenaries who plot against him.
Criminal virtue
This is where a prince uses adverse methods to ascend to power. According to Machiavelli & Goodwin (60) “in taking a state the occupier has to act quickly and commit the worst offenses right away so that he doesn’t has to go on offending everyday”. In other words, a leader may be compelled to execute political rivals as a way of creating his path to victory. Consequently, all accomplishments should occur during the ascending process to avoid committing any more adversities in future. This ploy makes the subjects to overlook his unpleasant acts gradually and thus the leader’s popularity develops.
The author uses philosophical and historical accounts to offer advice on leadership. Readers understand that a monarch should always be physically fit and vigilant. One also identifies that war and military knowledge are essential tools for guarding a realm. Machiavelli arguments are significant to any leader or learner seeking familiarity on the ruling of principalities. For the person in power, it’s always questioning what is right and what is wrong and it’s difficult to find the right answer. You can look in this essay about power, what leaders exactly do with such problems. and Heads of territories should always be prepared to endure in periods of strife.

The Poem Daddy by Sylvia Path
According to Leonard Cohen, “If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Poetry is just the evidence of life.” As the life of Sylvia Plath got cremated into a pile of dust, her works of poetry bloomed and grew. In addition to being an American novelist and poet, Sylvia Plath was also a wife, teacher, and mother. She was born on 27th October 1932 in Boston Massachusetts. Her father, Otto Emile Plath, was a professor at Boston University and an immigrant from Germany with majors in German and Biology. He, however, died of diabetes complications a month after Sylvia’s eighth birthday in 1940. Aurelia Schober Plath, her mother, on the other hand, was among the first generations of Austrian descent in America. During the period she was most troubled, that is, few years before her death, Sylvia Plath wrote the poem “Daddy” that is mainly about the sadness of depression. This prose and poetry by Sylvia reflect majorly on her battle that got primarily extended against despair. The poem also brought her struggles as a woman and as an artist to life. For most of her life as an adult, Sylvia Plath was clinically depressed and had numerous counts of treatment with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). She nonetheless committed suicide in 1963.
Daddy, by Sylvia Plath, contains sixteen five-line stanzas of the venomous and brutal poem that is ordinarily assumed to be mainly about Sylvia’s dead father. It still rests one of the utmost contentious poems of the modern times ever to be written. In the poem, Sylvia Plath introduces her poetry by describing her unresolved struggles mainly because her father died while she was a child. Between lines 6 through 8, she says “Daddy, I have had to kill you. / You died before I had time / Marble-heavy, a bag full of God.”(Line 6-8). She portrayed the obtainment of her freedom from oppression by the male gender. Throughout this poem, there is an existing theory that the subjects of Sylvia’s poem are her father figure and husband, Ted Hughes as well as her dead father.
It is a bizarre, dark and also painful allegory that uses devices such as rhythm that brings forth the idea of a casualty, who is a girl and frees herself from her father. There is a sense of inconsistency that is noticeable in the organization and scheme of rhyme in the poem. It uses a kind of singsong speaking way and nursery rhyme. There are repeated rhymes, short lines, and hard sounds. In stanza I, there is rhyme detected, that is, “You do not do, you do not do.” as if insisting on something. In stanzas 49 and 50, Sylvia also uses rhyme, “The boot in the face, the brute / Brute heart of a brute like you.” (Line 49 &50). It fortifies and institutes Sylvia’s status as a childlike character concerning her commanding dad. The relation is also made clear by the fact that the name she choses for him is “Daddy.” Her sounds, “oo” are also of childish rhythm.
The poem has a tone that can be described as that of an adult who has been engulfed in outrage. The outrage shown is at times slipped into a child’s sobs. From her tone of how Sylvia repeatedly calls her father daddy, it is clear that she is full of affection, consideration and unselfish love. The tone is nevertheless detected to change throughout the rest of the poem. Her tone changes to be filled with hate, anger, harshness, and rage. It is evident when Sylvia continually uses the word daddy and the repetitions like those of a child “you do not do, you do not do” and “Daddy, daddy, you bastard.” In the poem, we are made aware of the struggles she has been through mainly in the form of fear from her infancy. Sylvia writes of how she had always been scared of her daddy and how as a result of these struggles, pain, and fear, she had the urge to kill his dad (Osborne & Cedars, 2012).
Personification is the illustration of a general feature in human form and human accrediting appearances or a personal nature to something which is not rational. In Daddy, stanzas 8, 9 and 10 illustrate Sylvia personifying his dad. That is, “Marble-heavy, a bag full of God / Ghastly statue with one gray toe / Big as a Frisco seal.” In the 46th stanza, she also says, “Not God but a swastika,” about his father. In addition to this, she also compares her dad to a vampire in stanza 72 (Line 8,9,10,46 &72). These verses clearly demonstrate Sylvia’s view about her father as well as her opinion towards him.
In conclusion, the rhythms, tone, and personification discussed are well placed and intellectually used. I had not known this poem until now, though I had heard of it. Sylvia was very disturbed and in my opinion, writing a poem so personal and delicate takes bravery since one is exposing their soul and ambiance to the world. Sylvia Plath might have been a very misunderstood writer but then again, looking closely, one can make sense of her “madness.” The imagery of the poem Daddy is haunting because Sylvia had many demons to banish.
The Opposing Side; An Analysis of Placebo
In Andrew Vachss’ Placebo, readers are introduced to unnamed narrator. He has a “good” reputation in the community, and is commonly known as the “Janitor” or the “Repairman.” He repeatedly tells the audience that he knows “how to fix things.” Throughout the monologue, the stage gradually changes the setting from a construction to destruction at every successive image narrated. At the beginning, readers perceive the narrator as a caring person who simply wants to help others in order to redeem his own mistakes, but as the play progresses, it is slowly revealed the Janitor has underlying thirst for violence. The movement of the narrator’s good intentions into a thrilling suicidal mood is explained by Elinor Fuchs’ method highlighted in his article, EF’s Visit to a Small Planet, in which he asserts the importance of analyzing images in a play and how images propel the progression of the story and character development (7). The narrator’s change of character through the story is symbolized by the images. His transformation from the beginning to the end shows the opposing sides of the Janitor as they manifest.
The monologue begins with the narrator’s self-introduction where he admits that he is able to fix everything and make them work the way they are supposed to. A significant image is the attempt to help the dog that has been injured by a freak. The Janitor helps “Doberman” who is bleeding all over the place from a cut in its throat. He explains that he brought the puppy down the basement to fix him up” (Vachss 448). The readers have the immediate impression that the narrator has a kind hearted soul to help a hurt creature. But with a lightheartedness, the Janitor adds, “I took care of the freak” (Vachss 448). This following activity seems a good way to protect the dog; and as he fixes everything, the other characters like Mrs. Barnes and Tommy believes in him. However, “taking care of the freak” inferrs that the Janitor also created knife wounds on the freak to avenge the harm he had caused on the dog. Hurting an animal cannot justify the act of killing a person; the Janitor’s choice of physically damaging the “freak,” thus, reveals his lust for killing and violence. Since it is not explicitly stated, the audience does not have a reason to assume the actual behaviour of the Janitor until further evidence is displayed. But the image of knife wounds is the beginning where the audience starts to feel the oddity of the Janitor.
In the middle of the monologue, the janitor meets Tommy who is scared, and believes to see monsters every day. The narrator introduces the audience to an image of a metal box with a row of lights on the top and a toggle switch which he uses to cure his “patient.” A significant image that shows the turning point of the story is the appearance of Dr. English. When Tommy’s mom tells the teacher about the machine, he says it is fake. The Janitor explains that Dr. English had told her Mrs. Barnes that “the machine he made was a placebo, and Tommy would always need a therapy” (Vachss 449). Although he seems to not have been bothered by this statement, his subsequent actions proves otherwise. Mrs. Barnes’ call to inform Dr. English about the medicine makes the image even more alarming. The Janitor calls the school pretending to be State Disability Commission. Finding a lady, he asks information about the teacher; “I got her to tell me his full names, got her to talk. I know how things work” (Vachss 450). His persistence to find the truth could be mistaken by readers to be for the benefit of Tommy. However, it is suspicious that his interest emanates only when Mrs. Barnes shows his compassion and trust towards the teacher.
Finally, the end of the play shows a complete change in the character of the narrator. His failure to “fix” Tommy’s nightmare problem pushes the Janitor back to his original methods, which are violence and death. The Janitor creates a “machine that works” (Vachss 451) – two rubber balls connected by a piano wire. This image is simplistic but very powerful as it reveals the full transformation of the narrator’s character. After making the machine, the Janitor explains that “when it gets dark tonight, he’ll show Dr. English a machine that works” (Vachss 451). The audience is not privy to how rooted this is into the Janitor until this point where Vachss reveals the carefully crafted weapon at the end. For the most of the play the audience is given circumstantial evidence only, with a skeptical tone running throughout the narrative. However, when actual evidence is introduced at the end of the play, the audience’s change of the perception of the Janitor is inevitable.
In summary, the three images of the monologue converge to vividly explore the transformation the narrative’s character from “good” to worse. Fuchs states “look at the first image; now look at the last” (7). As such the first image represents the Janitor, the Fix-It Guy that had some dark history but helps others in need. The last image, however, represents the Janitor reducing himself to a mere criminal that is no better than those he goes after. The middle image transitions the primary idea of helping others to the last behavior of a monster. Through the images the audience was able to see the “construction and destruction” of the narrator (Fuchs 7). And by seeing this change, we can perceive the Janitor as a character that changed and possibly destructed himself at the end of the play.
EssayPro.com – An Objective Review
At some point or another, each student is faced with an important decision: getting academic assistance or not. One of the reasons that might make some students hesitate before ordering a paper online is the overwhelming range of services. Even though each firm has a rating, these can often be misleading. In other words, many other aspects are worth taking into account for comparing distinct companies.
At the same time, we could argue that each potential customer has an individual, subjective opinion of what makes the best paper. In other words, what a student could convey as an excellent essay might not mean the exact thing for another student. Simultaneously, the academic level ought to be considered.
On that note, today we’ll briefly review a popular essay service – namely EssayPro.com.

Paris Attacks...
Start date 14 November 2015
Well, what a dreadful night lastnight for Paris, and I can only imagine the aftermath this morning..
We now know that approx 180 people are dead, in the most horrific of attacks.
ISIS have claimed responsibility and to be honest, I should imagine it is them and our security services probably don't doubt it.
I think it's worse than dreadful, and I feel for everyone in France right now.
isn't it about time IS were stopped and dealt with?
Will they ever be stopped? As I doubt it, it will take years and all this is the start of a monster rearing its ugly head at us all.
My thoughts are with everyone in France right now. Terrible..

Sadly I have to agree with @meet_the_fockers. ISIS want a to build a Caliphate but do the people they intend to dictate/rule want this? If they do then maybe we should leave them alone but if they don't should we stand up for them and place ourselves at risk? The only people benefitting from all this agony and sorrow are the arms dealers.

It's awful and I feel for friends and family of all those victims xx

I don't want to get into a who did what to who situation here, but if you look back over history we (the west) have caused more problems than we have ever cured.
We are still interfering within countries that we should not, don't get me wrong there are times that foreign intervention is required, and as such we should not be found wanting.
However surly its time that we just state that we will look after our own, a leave us alone and we'll do the same type policy.
I believe that if more countries adopted that way of thinking then some, if not most of the conflicts that we find ourselves in could be avoided.
And as @Pearls says ,"It's awful and I feel for friends and family of all those victims" .
Again it is another sad day for the world....
Reactions: kopinov, Pearls, Admin and 1 other person
Yep its only a matter of time before it happens here
@zebo things happen don't give the sons of a syphilitic camel the time of day and carry on doing what pisses them off not waiting till you get to heaven to shag virgins
Reflecting on my visit to Paris earlier this year, soon after the Charlie Hebdo attack, and having visited most of the areas where last night's incidents took place, my thoughts can only be with the families of those who were killed and the injured. Life can be very cruel at times. All that we can do is to confirm our solidarity against these evil forces, be vigilant, support those who have suffered, and not let the threat of future incidents change the way we decide to live our lives.
Obviously it's a deeply sensitive issue and we all feel for our French brothers, but please try and leave deeply inflammatory posts/comments/content out of this.

Fixed it for you..
Remember, this is something we caused. This is our doing, by intervening with other countries over false policies.
The ME was a safer place with Saddam in power. Fact!
Until we leave these countries be, this will be our future.
My thoughts are with them all and I have friends in Paris. I just hope they are okay.

I actually had to come off Twitter last night because it was just heartbreaking seeing the stories develop but this morning I saw this and I retweeted it to make some of the more vociferous stop and think for a minute. It's from Adam Hills on The Last Leg and for me it says more than I ever could.
Reactions: kopinov
My word....
I think we should all keep things in perspective.
I'd also say that I think ISIS, ISIL, IS, Islamic State or whatever they call themselves are no more representative of Islam than the Ku Klux Klan, IRA or Third Reich are representative of Christianity. Terrorist cowards hide behind religion and use it to justify their atrocities. It's never about religious ideology, it's about Power and Control and the way they do this is to create fear and chaos. The hope and solidarity that comes out of these atrocities makes me think that we might just make it as a species after all but I think sometimes enough is enough and IS etc...need to be dealt with now. I'm a pacifist but unless we do something then this is only going to get worse and they are going to get stronger. I despair of humanity at times like this but when I see the solidarity of people after last night, I have to believe we will overcome but what I won't do is condemn an entire people for the acts of a few regardless of religion. I've seen nothing but Muslims condemn these attacks today. Same as when I see the Wear condemn the EDL or KKK or any White Power movement. I think it's important to make that distinction otherwise we are all lost.
Reactions: Admin and kopinov
I see France are and have carried out airstrikes in Raqqa as a response.
I can fully understand that and do condone it too.
Will it be fruitful though? Will they actually gain anything from doing so?
Time will tell I suppose.
Saddened to see a false alarm with mourners yesterday though, by someone setting off firecrackers.!
Be fair.. x
Reactions: Driftwood70 and Pearls
Raqqa is under IS control. Most of the people there are supporters otherwise they were killed or they fled. The targets were two training camps and a weapon storage. So hopefully they've done some damage with little or no civilian casualties but me, I'd send the SAS, Marines and Navy Seals in to wipe out the leaders once and for all.
Well the SAS are already out there, but it's time the toppled ISIS leaders, that's certain...
After all, MI5 and MI6 know where ISIS headquarters are - so go and get them. That's what I say, less collateral damage too.
Just like Jihadi John - which incidentally I believe is why the Paris attacks took place..
No. They'd been planning this for months. Emwazi (I refuse to call him the other thing as IMO it glamourises him) was killed the previous night, not enough time to co-ordinate all that in one day. France have been bombing ISIS targets all year. But I agree. Go get them, get rid, once and for all.
Of course, this had been planned for months - it's impossible to have composed it all overnight, but was his death the trigger for it?
We just don't know.. And it's infuriating.
The sooner they are stopped - the better. But this will take years to repel sadly. Out of control, and worth £billions now.
I doubt it. Too many variables. Big Football Match - city packed, too much of a coincidence. Don't know if the Bataclan attack was planned tho. Seems to have been an escape route but it appears to have been masterminded in Belgium with fake Syrian passports from Turkey so the French say. I think it was always planned for that night. We'll know, soon enough as they have arrested the man they believe who was behind it all in Brussells this morning.
Agreed Mr Driftwood.... Far too much of a coincidence given the circumstances.
Just hope they do the right things from now on in. And step up border control security for God's sake! And that includes the UK!
I see that X-factor winner Sam Bailey (spelling?) said the same thing on Twitter and got blasted for it..
Why? She's right. Border security needs to be tighter and I am not aiming this anything besides how slack the security is!
The problem there is that refugees are also running away from it but I would only take those in refugee camps, screen then thoroughly. These aren't people in mud huts, these are people like you or I in decent lives who have been torn apart by war. So there will be records of them. I'd turn away anybody who had travelled across safe countries to get to ours tho
Driftwood70 said:
Absolutely. I already can see the backlash but people need to remember that a lot of these people are fleeing from a brutal and terrifying regime that will gladly kill your wife and children in front of you, purely if you recited part of the Qur'an wrong..
These aren't the issue per-se.
The issue are the sleepers. The lone wolves.
Reactions: Driftwood70
That's why I'd only take those in the Syrian camps. As for the Quran, there are plenty of passages that promote peace but these are ignored by IS. They have their own twisted ideology of Islam. It's like taking a sound bite and isolating it. Hear only what you want to hear or others to hear. The bible can be used in much the same way and The Third Reich did, and the KKK twist it too. I think only Buddhism has no "kill the non-believer" passages in its doctrine. All the rest do at some point.

AG directs CID to arrest former SriLankan CEO and wife over Airbus deal
Attorney General (AG) Dappula de Livera has directed the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to arrest the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of SriLankan Airlines Kapila Chandrasena and his wife Priyanka Niyomali Wijenayaka.
After considering Investigative material submitted by the CID the AG directed the Director of the CID to obtain an arrest warrant from court and arrest and produce Chandrasena and his wife as suspects on charges of money laundering in the SriLankan Airlines – Airbus deal, the AG’s coordinating officer Nishara Jayaratne said.
The AG has also instructed the CID to forward extracts on the investigations to the Bribery Commission.
A corrupt deal involving aircraft manufacturer Airbus and Sri Lanka was exposed last week.

How to Cease Operations of a Construction Company

When a construction company stops operating, the owner should formally dissolve the company and close it down to protect his personal assets. If he does not, he runs the risk of his company name and registration number being used to create debt for which he will be liable, as well as being billed for the renewal of licenses and permits.
Agree to close the business. If the construction company is registered as a partnership, cooperative, limited liability or regular corporation, all individuals named on the registration must vote and agree to close the business. Check your organizational documents and the state’s business statutes for details of the process to follow to legitimize the vote.
Notify all construction and office staff about the decision. Check your state’s labor laws to determine the amount of notice that you must give them, and finalize all payroll obligations in the time required under the laws of your state. Issue a final form W-2 wage and tax statement, and pay all outstanding payroll taxes, unemployment premiums and benefit contributions for the employees.
Collect outstanding receivables and pay all your outstanding debts. Post the entries to the general ledger, prepare a preliminary trial balance and close your financial records. If possible, have your construction business audited and final financial statements produced.
Notify all your customers and suppliers of construction materials. Complete any outstanding obligations you have to customers to avoid being sued later for incomplete work.
Cancel the lease on your premises, and well as any insurance policies you hold. This will help you avoid charges and premiums levied against your bank account. Close your business bank account and transfer all balances to your personal account.
Dispose of all your construction equipment and other assets, and file returns with the IRS reporting the disposal and the exchange of any in-kind property. Mark your business and sales tax forms as the final returns.
Dissolve your construction company’s business entity to ensure that you are no longer responsible for the payment of business taxes or filings to the state. Complete the business closure forms for your state, which are usually available on the website of the secretary of state.
Cancel your fictitious business name or DBA by filing an “abandonment” of the name. Forms for this can be obtained from the office of the county clerk, and you should publish your notice of abandonment in your local newspaper.
Cancel your construction business license and all permits in writing. This may require you to complete several different forms, as the business license is usually issued by the office of the secretary of state, but permits for individual construction projects are obtained through the public works department, among others.

Sie the Mystery Girl
“Hey Brenton,” Sie shouted as she walked into the hangar. Brenton was standing on a scaffolding and using a complex looking tool to fix something inside a small compartment he’d opened on the outer hull of his skeetship. The ship was a dirty, brownish gold disc that could fit maybe four, five people. In front, it had a shielded screen through which Sie could barely make out a very small cockpit for two pilots.
Brenton turned around, his face and hands sooty from all the tinkering, his black and greasy hair grown a little too long.
“Sie. Long time no see.”
“Long time indeed. What you up to, old dog?”
“Fixing the boat. I got into a nasty fieldstorm flying in. It fried a lot of comms circuits. Mostly fixed now, but I still get some damn static on long distance comms. I think this relay here is the one that’s bust.”
“That boat still fly?”
“What do you think? This beauty will stay in the air or the space or the phase space for at least another two thousand years.”
Sie whistled.
“Two thousand? Well it’s been around.”
“Yeah. Done my fair share of subluminal legs with it too back in the day. You know how it is with phase jumping without starjocks.”
“Yep. But your math’s still good?”
“As good as the next guy’s. You want to go somewhere long-distance, I can crack the figures a-ok. May just take a while. Sometimes a longer while.”
“Good. Good. Look, Brenton, it ain’t a courtesy call.”
“Didn’t think so. When would my sorry old ass be interesting enough for the wonderful Sie to just come say hi to?”
“Seriously. I need a favor.”
“Ok. Not big on favors, but shoot.”
“I need to get to Pan Caravel.”
“Pan Cara-what?” Brenton said and broke down laughing. “Pan Caravel? You lost your marbles?”
“No. I need to get there.”
“Pan Caravel? A junction city? You want some fairy dust and a pair of fire breathing dragons with that while you’re at it?”
“Brenton, I’m serious. I need to get to Pan Caravel. Discreetly.”
“Come on, Sie. It’s fiction. Pan Caravel is a fairy tale some dewy eyed optimists tell their kids to put them to sleep when the neighbours dog’s gone through a nanite meltdown. Through all the millennia of navigating the phase space, nobody’s come out anywhere else but this side of things. Everybody phases back. You know it.”
“It’s not fiction,” Sie said. “I know where it is.”
“Really? Oh really?” Brenton said and walked down the ladder from the scaffolding. “Look, Sie, if it was anybody else but you, I’d just laugh it off. But seriously, you think you know where Pan Caravel is? You think it’s real?”
“I think so, yeah,” Sie said.
“Well wouldn’t that be something,” Brenton said then. “Ok. Show me.”
Brenton accessed his ship on his AR layer and a small doorway opened on the side, extending a brownish gold ladder that whirred until it touched the floor. “Come on,” Brenton said, wiping hid hands on a grey towel. He climbed the ladder into the skeetship. Sie followed.

Pan Caravel the No-Place
Pan Caravel was located in the outermost corner of the Laniakea cluster, on an intergalactic backwater piece of rock. If a starjock happened to chance by the exact coordinates, she would simply see a bunch of rocks. But if you knew where to look, Pan Caravel was one of the most powerful places in the universe, smack in the middle of cosmic faultlines that could allegedly lead to an adjacent bubble universe.
For most people of Intergalactica, the asteroid city was a legend. And why wouldn’t it be? While phase jumping was pretty much everyday in Intergalactica, junctions – connections between bubble universes in the cosmic multiversal froth – were thought of as purely fictitious. Everybody phases back. All higher dimensions connected eventually back to the three macroscopic dimensions of the known universe.
Brenton landed the skeetship. He stayed behind while Sie got out to get the lay of the land. She’d sent the message to the people The Librarian had introduced to her to meet her. They’d just told her to find the local bar. Given how small the little habitat was, she suspected that wouldn’t be much of a problem. The whole thing could have only a handful of inhabitants, a few thousand at most.
Sie stopped a heavily augmented person to ask the way. He or she, as it was hard to tell which, raised their drawn bioluminsescent pink eyebrows and pointed the way. Sie nodded a curt thanks and followed the directions. She came by a dirty saloon not unlike those on the lower levels of the Souk she’d seen pirates and smugglers frequent when they were off duty. She’d been to the Souk only once, but somehow this place reminded her of it. It smelled the same.

Lyra the Cosmic Space Pirate Queen
The silver pirate flagship rushed through space to intercept the hapless prey that had sailed through the stars for ten thousand years. A cloud of ice blew away, like ocean foam, in front of the massive pirate spaceship as it cut through spacetime.
The pirate flagship’s silver hull rippled and foamed and coursed like a living thing or perhaps like a living ocean made of quicksilver, constantly adjusting to the variables in local spacetime geometry, blocking off debris and other collision threats, quickly heating back to the ambient outer space temperature of 2.7K after being cooled down to almost absolute zero to perform the phase space jumps that had got it here.
The prey was an ancient ramjet launched from a Lost World ten thousand years ago. It was massive, spanning two miles from bow to aft. Yet the pirate flagship Night Wing dwarfed it, making the ramjet look tiny compared to the flagship’s majestic thirty miles of quicksilver hull.
On the command deck of Night Wing stood its captain, the commander in chief of a vast pirate crew, one of the most feared pirates in the galaxies, the terror of known space and beyond. The pirate captain stood on the bridge, legs wide, arms folded, watching at the massive display screen as the little ship, marked by a red dotted circle on her Augmented Reality layer, grew larger on the display as the flagship approached it.
She wore a crimson knee length flowing jacket that moved in the still air of the command deck like it was blowing in the wind. Attached to her shoulders was a long, smooth, gold-embroidered red cape that also flowed, probably powered by some microscopic robots, if not even nanites. Her large eyes glittered in otherworldly hues of gold and the deepest of blue due to the visual augmentations she had had installed over the millennia.
In her eyes there was a twinkle of pure joy. The joy of expectation, of the hunt. A wide grin grew on her face as the pirates approached their hapless prey, now almost within boarding distance.
By now the target ship was aware of the presence of the hulking pirate vessel, the ancient ramjet’s crew engaged in speculation of whether the newcomer was friend or foe. In forty five minutes all speculation would have come to a conclusion. In three hours, the last remnants of an entire civilization that had lasted for more than ten thousand years would be eradicated.
For now, however, the pirates had work to do.
“Good job, boys,” Lyra, the Cosmic Space Pirate Queen, said to her crew, smiling widely. “Let’s go get ’em.”
The Stars and Beyond: New Album About Space Pirates, Starfights and Parallel Universes Out Now
Oh boy, this is pretty exciting.
The new Songsworth album, The Stars and Beyond, was published last Friday. It’s now available on Spotify and iTunes and will soon be available on various other webstores and streaming services.
I’ve worked on the album for the last two years, on and off, and it’s taken quite a lot of thought to shape it up into its final form. This is the first Songsworth album out since 2013.
Music and stories work well together. Previous Songsworth albums have linked with science fiction stories – books, movies, TV shows – that I’ve found inspiring through the years.
This one, though is based on something else.
I’ve always dreamed about writing a novel one day – who wouldn’t? In 2017 as I travelled a lot around the world for work, I lugged this delightful device called Freewrite around with me. I’d take it out when sitting down on an airplane and write stories whenever the plane got off the ground.
I ended up with manuscript drafts for two novels. One of them is a kind of a quantum physics mystery. The other is the story about this post-human space pirate queen called Lyra, who terrorizes this Asimov’s Foundation -style galactic society through millennia, kept alive by a sort of nanotech, until she starts finding hints about her past that will change everything she thinks about herself. And then just as she’s about to realize something kind of weird, she gets thrown into a parallel universe through this weird “junction city” called Pan Caravel.
The story, called The Stars and Beyond, runs some 350 pages. It has a beginning, a middle and an end – but it’s not finished yet. The reason being that while I did work ten years as a professional musician and have published seven non-fiction books, I don’t yet have the skills to finalize a work of fiction. Both of the manuscripts I mentioned still need more editing and a deeper understanding of literary nuances I don’t yet possess. As time goes by, I’m working on developing the competences that I’d need to actually publish some of this stuff. Who knows, maybe one day.
Writing these stories feels like peeking through a portal to another universe. And while the text is not yet good enough, it worked as a source of inspiration for this music. On this album, every song somehow links to one of the novel’s characters, except the one about Pan Caravel, which is a place and Curiosity, which is the cutest little space rover if there ever was one.
The music is now out there. I’d really appreciate if you gave it a spin.
It’s instrumental 1980’s inspired synthesizer pop, so maybe not for everybody. But if you like artists like Jean-Michel Jarre or Vangelis, or listening to movie soundtracks, you might enjoy these tracks too.
I certainly had the time of my life writing them.
You can listen to the album here:
New Album on the Way: The Stars and Beyond
Album cover art by the wonderful Paavo Järvilehto
I have been working on new Songsworth tracks since 2017. The tracks are now finished and mastered, and the new album is on the way, due to be released later in 2019 on major streaming services.
I’m really excited to have completed this music – it’s the first Songsworth album in six years. It has taken a lot of new design challenges, handcrafting new types of sounds (especially going back to my FM roots with some really fun stuff using Native Instruments’ FM8 and playing with some stuff I made on my Yamaha SY99 all the way back in the 1990s) and learning new ways of working, most interestingly drafting tracks using NI’s Maschine Mk3, which has quickly grown to be a big part of my workflow.
Also I’ve been really excited about working in a strange kind of a crossroads in music technology. On one hand, I recreated much of what I used to run as a hardware studio in early 2000s through using services like Roland Cloud and their amazing System 8 workstation which makes analog sound design feel like a dream, as well as Arturia’s wonderful V-Collection. On the other hand, starting to work with 21st century digital-first staples, like the wonderful Fabfilter plugins, it has finally started to dawn on me how to mix with a mouse. Feels a lot like the future now.
One more thing is, there is a tremendous amount of backstory that goes into these tracks. I don’t think I’ve ever written music that has this much of (hidden) context to it, I hope some of it shines through on the recordings themselves too.
Here’s the first soundbite from the album, called Jeff the Star Traveler.

pushing sound studies into the red since 2009

Today the SO! Thursday stream inaugurates a four-part series entitled Hearing the UnHeard, which promises to blow your mind by way of your ears. Our Guest Editor is Seth Horowitz, a neuroscientist at NeuroPop and author of The Universal Sense: How Hearing Shapes the Mind (Bloomsbury, 2012), whose insightful work on brings us directly to the intersection of the sciences and the arts of sound.
That’s where he’ll be taking us in the coming weeks. Check out his general introduction just below, and his own contribution for the first piece in the series. — NV
Welcome to Hearing the UnHeard, a new series of articles on the world of sound beyond human hearing. We are embedded in a world of sound and vibration, but the limits of human hearing only let us hear a small piece of it. The quiet library screams with the ultrasonic pulsations of fluorescent lights and computer monitors. The soothing waves of a Hawaiian beach are drowned out by the thrumming infrasound of underground seismic activity near “dormant” volcanoes. Time, distance, and luck (and occasionally really good vibration isolation) separate us from explosive sounds of world-changing impacts between celestial bodies. And vast amounts of information, ranging from the songs of auroras to the sounds of dying neurons can be made accessible and understandable by translating them into human-perceivable sounds by data sonification.
Four articles will examine how this “unheard world” affects us. My first post below will explore how our environment and evolution have constrained what is audible, and what tools we use to bring the unheard into our perceptual realm. In a few weeks, sound artist China Blue will talk about her experiences recording the Vertical Gun, a NASA asteroid impact simulator which helps scientists understand the way in which big collisions have shaped our planet (and is very hard on audio gear). Next, Milton A. Garcés, founder and director of the Infrasound Laboratory of University of Hawaii at Manoa will talk about volcano infrasound, and how acoustic surveillance is used to warn about hazardous eruptions. And finally, Margaret A. Schedel, composer and Associate Professor of Music at Stonybrook University will help readers explore the world of data sonification, letting us listen in and get greater intellectual and emotional understanding of the world of information by converting it to sound.
— Guest Editor Seth Horowitz
Although light moves much faster than sound, hearing is your fastest sense, operating about 20 times faster than vision. Studies have shown that we think at the same “frame rate” as we see, about 1-4 events per second. But the real world moves much faster than this, and doesn’t always place things important for survival conveniently in front of your field of view. Think about the last time you were driving when suddenly you heard the blast of a horn from the previously unseen truck in your blind spot.
Hearing also occurs prior to thinking, with the ear itself pre-processing sound. Your inner ear responds to changes in pressure that directly move tiny little hair cells, organized by frequency which then send signals about what frequency was detected (and at what amplitude) towards your brainstem, where things like location, amplitude, and even how important it may be to you are processed, long before they reach the cortex where you can think about it. And since hearing sets the tone for all later perceptions, our world is shaped by what we hear (Horowitz, 2012).
But we can’t hear everything. Rather, what we hear is constrained by our biology, our psychology and our position in space and time. Sound is really about how the interaction between energy and matter fill space with vibrations. This makes the size, of the sender, the listener and the environment, one of the primary features that defines your acoustic world.
You’ve heard about how much better your dog’s hearing is than yours. I’m sure you got a slight thrill when you thought you could actually hear the “ultrasonic” dog-training whistles that are supposed to be inaudible to humans (sorry, but every one I’ve tested puts out at least some energy in the upper range of human hearing, even if it does sound pretty thin). But it’s not that dogs hear better. Actually, dogs and humans show about the same sensitivity to sound in terms of sound pressure, with human’s most sensitive region from 1-4 kHz and dogs from about 2-8 kHz. The difference is a question of range and that is tied closely to size.
Most dogs, even big ones, are smaller than most humans and their auditory systems are scaled similarly. A big dog is about 100 pounds, much smaller than most adult humans. And since body parts tend to scale in a coordinated fashion, one of the first places to search for a link between size and frequency is the tympanum or ear drum, the earliest structure that responds to pressure information. An average dog’s eardrum is about 50 mm2, whereas an average human’s is about 60 mm2. In addition while a human’s cochlea is spiral made of 2.5 turns that holds about 3500 inner hair cells, your dog’s has 3.25 turns and about the same number of hair cells. In short: dogs probably have better high frequency hearing because their eardrums are better tuned to shorter wavelength sounds and their sensory hair cells are spread out over a longer distance, giving them a wider range.
Interest in the how hearing works in animals goes back centuries. Classical image of comparative ear anatomy from 1789 by Andreae Comparetti.
Then again, if hearing was just about size of the ear components, then you’d expect that yappy 5 pound Chihuahua to hear much higher frequencies than the lumbering 100 pound St. Bernard. Yet hearing sensitivity from the two ends of the dog spectrum don’t vary by much. This is because there’s a big difference between what the ear can mechanically detect and what the animal actually hears. Chihuahuas and St. Bernards are both breeds derived from a common wolf-like ancestor that probably didn’t have as much variability as we’ve imposed on the domesticated dog, so their brains are still largely tuned to hear what a medium to large pseudo wolf-like animal should hear (Heffner, 1983).
But hearing is more than just detection of sound. It’s also important to figure out where the sound is coming from. A sound’s location is calculated in the superior olive – nuclei in the brainstem that compare the difference in time of arrival of low frequency sounds at your ears and the difference in amplitude between your ears (because your head gets in the way, making a sound “shadow” on the side of your head furthest from the sound) for higher frequency sounds. This means that animals with very large heads, like elephants, will be able to figure out the location of longer wavelength (lower pitched) sounds, but probably will have problems localizing high pitched sounds because the shorter frequencies will not even get to the other side of their heads at a useful level. On the other hand, smaller animals, which often have large external ears, are under greater selective pressure to localize higher pitched sounds, but have heads too small to pick up the very low infrasonic sounds that elephants use.
Audiograms (auditory sensitivity in air measured in dB SPL) by frequency of animals of different sizes showing the shift of maximum sensitivity to lower frequencies with increased size. Data replotted based on audiogram data by Sivian and White (1933). “On minimum audible sound fields.” Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 4: 288-321; ISO 1961; Heffner, H., & Masterton, B. (1980). “Hearing in glires: domestic rabbit, cotton rat, feral house mouse, and kangaroo rat.” Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 68, 1584-1599.; Heffner, R. S., & Heffner, H. E. (1982). “Hearing in the elephant: Absolute sensitivity, frequency discrimination, and sound localization.” Journal of Comparative and Physiological Psychology, 96, 926-944.; Heffner H.E. (1983). “Hearing in large and small dogs: Absolute thresholds and size of the tympanic membrane.” Behav. Neurosci. 97: 310-318. ; Jackson, L.L., et al.(1999). “Free-field audiogram of the Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata).” Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 106: 3017-3023.
But you as a human are a fairly big mammal. If you look up “Body Size Species Richness Distribution” which shows the relative size of animals living in a given area, you’ll find that humans are among the largest animals in North America (Brown and Nicoletto, 1991). And your hearing abilities scale well with other terrestrial mammals, so you can stop feeling bad about your dog hearing “better.” But what if, by comic-book science or alternate evolution, you were much bigger or smaller? What would the world sound like? Imagine you were suddenly mouse-sized, scrambling along the floor of an office. While the usual chatter of humans would be almost completely inaudible, the world would be filled with a cacophony of ultrasonics. Fluorescent lights and computer monitors would scream in the 30-50 kHz range. Ultrasonic eddies would hiss loudly from air conditioning vents. Smartphones would not play music, but rather hum and squeal as their displays changed.
And if you were larger? For a human scaled up to elephantine dimensions, the sounds of the world would shift downward. While you could still hear (and possibly understand) human speech and music, the fine nuances from the upper frequency ranges would be lost, voices audible but mumbled and hard to localize. But you would gain the infrasonic world, the low rumbles of traffic noise and thrumming of heavy machinery taking on pitch, color and meaning. The seismic world of earthquakes and volcanoes would become part of your auditory tapestry. And you would hear greater distances as long wavelengths of low frequency sounds wrap around everything but the largest obstructions, letting you hear the foghorns miles distant as if they were bird calls nearby.
But these sounds are still in the realm of biological listeners, and the universe operates on scales far beyond that. The sounds from objects, large and small, have their own acoustic world, many beyond our ability to detect with the equipment evolution has provided. Weather phenomena, from gentle breezes to devastating tornadoes, blast throughout the infrasonic and ultrasonic ranges. Meteorites create infrasonic signatures through the upper atmosphere, trackable using a system devised to detect incoming ICBMs. Geophones, specialized low frequency microphones, pick up the sounds of extremely low frequency signals foretelling of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Beyond the earth, we translate electromagnetic frequencies into the audible range, letting us listen to the whistlers and hoppers that signal the flow of charged particles and lightning in the atmospheres of Earth and Jupiter, microwave signals of the remains of the Big Bang, and send listening devices on our spacecraft to let us hear the winds on Titan.
Here is a recording of whistlers recorded by the Van Allen Probes currently orbiting high in the upper atmosphere:
When the computer freezes or the phone battery dies, we complain about how much technology frustrates us and complicates our lives. But our audio technology is also the source of wonder, not only letting us talk to a friend around the world or listen to a podcast from astronauts orbiting the Earth, but letting us listen in on unheard worlds. Ultrasonic microphones let us listen in on bat echolocation and mouse songs, geophones let us wonder at elephants using infrasonic rumbles to communicate long distances and find water. And scientific translation tools let us shift the vibrations of the solar wind and aurora or even the patterns of pure math into human scaled songs of the greater universe. We are no longer constrained (or protected) by the ears that evolution has given us. Our auditory world has expanded into an acoustic ecology that contains the entire universe, and the implications of that remain wonderfully unclear.
Exhibit: Home Office
This is a recording made with standard stereo microphones of my home office. Aside from usual typing, mouse clicking and computer sounds, there are a couple of 3D printers running, some music playing, largely an environment you don’t pay much attention to while you’re working in it, yet acoustically very rich if you pay attention.
https://soundstudies.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/sonicoffice.wav
This sample was made by pitch shifting the frequencies of sonicoffice.wav down so that the ultrasonic moves into the normal human range and cuts off at about 1-2 kHz as if you were hearing with mouse ears. Sounds normally inaudible, like the squealing of the computer monitor cycling on kick in and the high pitched sound of the stepper motors from the 3D printer suddenly become much louder, while the familiar sounds are mostly gone.
https://soundstudies.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/mouseoffice.wav
This recording of the office was made with a Clarke Geophone, a seismic microphone used by geologists to pick up underground vibration. It’s primary sensitivity is around 80 Hz, although it’s range is from 0.1 Hz up to about 2 kHz. All you hear in this recording are very low frequency sounds and impacts (footsteps, keyboard strikes, vibration from printers, some fan vibration) that you usually ignore since your ears are not very well tuned to frequencies under 100 Hz.
https://soundstudies.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/infrasonicoffice.wav
Finally, this sample was made by pitch shifting the frequencies of infrasonicoffice.wav up as if you had grown to elephantine proportions. Footsteps and computer fan noises (usually almost indetectable at 60 Hz) become loud and tonal, and all the normal pitch of music and computer typing has disappeared aside from the bass. (WARNING: The fan noise is really annoying).
https://soundstudies.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/elephantoffice.wav
The point is: a space can sound radically different depending on the frequency ranges you hear. Different elements of the acoustic environment pop up depending on the type of recording instrument you use (ultrasonic microphone, regular microphones or geophones) or the size and sensitivity of your ears.
Spectrograms (plots of acoustic energy [color] over time [horizontal axis] by frequency band [vertical axis]) from a 90 second recording in the author’s home office covering the auditory range from ultrasonic frequencies (>20 kHz top) to the sonic (20 Hz-20 kHz, middle) to the low frequency and infrasonic (<20 Hz).

Cutchogue-New Suffolk column
By Barbara Sheryll
January 2012 is but a memory. Happy February! Here’s to all of those items on your “to do” list becoming a part of who you want to be!
Sarah Fogarty, Emily Gatz and Samantha Kaelin have earned the Silver Award — the second highest given in Girl Scouts — for their Dog Park Party 2011 project. The project began last January, when 11 dogs and owners first gathered at the town dog park on Peconic Lane. From that point, Sarah, Emily and Samantha ran monthly themed gatherings that grew within a year to include 30 dogs and owners. Their project involved meetings with the North Fork Animal Welfare League, pet shop owners, Town Recreation Department personnel and, of course, dog owners. The girls chose a project near and dear to their hearts — together, they own 10 dogs! — and worked hard on this service for the community. They really earned their Silver Award — and a true sense of accomplishment. Great job, girls, and thank you!

Solar Impulse: No flight until 2016
Despite the hard work of the Solar Impulse team to repair the batteries which overheated in the record breaking oceanic flight from Nagoya to Hawaii, the solar powered airplane of Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg will stay in Hawaii until early spring 2016.
Following the longest and most difficult leg of the round-the-world journey which lasted 5 days and 5 nights (117 hours and 52 minutes), Solar Impulse will undergo maintenance repairs on the batteries due to damages brought about by overheating.
During the first ascent on day one of the flight from Nagoya to Hawaii, the battery temperature increased due to a high climb rate and an over insulation of the gondolas. And while the Mission Team was monitoring this very closely during the flight, there was no way to decrease the temperature for the remaining duration as each daily cycle requires an ascent to 28’000 feet and descent for optimal energy management.
Overall the airplane performed very well during the flight. The damage to the batteries is not a technical failure or a weakness in the technology but rather an evaluation error in terms of the profile of the mission and the cooling design specifications of the batteries. The temperature of the batteries in a quick ascent / descent in tropical climates was not properly anticipated.
Irreversible damage to certain parts of the batteries will require repairs which will take several months. In parallel, the Solar Impulse engineering team will be studying various options for better cooling and heating processes for very long flights.
The University of Hawaii with the support of the Department of Transportation will host the airplane in its hangar at Kalaeloa airport. Post-maintenance check flights will start in 2016 to test the new battery heating and cooling systems. The Round-The-World mission will resume early April from Hawaii to the USA West Coast. From there Solar Impulse will cross the USA to JFK in New York before making the Atlantic crossing to Europe and then returning the point of departure in Abu Dhabi.
Solar Impulse is attempting a historic first of flying around the world only on solar energy. And while Solar Impulse has completed 8 legs, covering nearly half of the journey, setbacks are part of the challenges of a project which is pushing technological boundaries to the limits. Solar Impulse will try to complete the first ever round-the-world solar flight in 2016 and this delay will in no way influence the overall objectives of this pioneering endeavour.

George Mitchell: Wisconsin needs a higher gas tax
Debby Jackson2020-06-30T14:52:20-05:00July 30, 2016|
7/30/2016, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel – In 2011, Gov. Scott Walker and the state Legislature inherited two fiscal time bombs from former Gov. Jim Doyle. They’ve largely defused one. The other has become more volatile.
The positive news involves the state’s general fund. The 2011-’13 budget — and Act 10 — put the state’s general treasury and local government on a positive fiscal course.
But the news is anything but good when it comes to the Transportation Fund, a separate account that finances highways, mass transit and other transportation expenses.
Two actions by the state have the fund in a downward spiral. As a result, there isn’t enough money to maintain state highways and help towns, cities, villages and counties repair local bridges and roads. This is the biggest challenge before the 2017 Legislature.
The first action — in 2006 — was a legislative decision, OK’d by Doyle, to freeze the gasoline tax. This has meant stagnant Transportation Fund revenue during a period when road construction costs have grown more than 60%.
The freeze in the gas tax spurred the second action. Doyle and the Legislature ratcheted up borrowing in response to the lost purchasing power of transportation fund revenue. Republicans who took charge in 2011 have pressed the debt accelerator pedal further to the floor, adding another $2.5 billion to the billions in transportation debt issued under Doyle.
The consequence? According to the Legislative Fiscal Bureau, by next year nearly 22% of transportation revenue will be devoted to debt service. This compares with just 10% only a decade ago. How bad is the problem? Observes the nonpartisan Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance, “the Wisconsin transportation fund already devotes a higher share of revenues to debt service than the U.S. government.”
With more gas tax and vehicle registration revenue needed to repay debt, less is available to repair roads and rebuild the southeastern Wisconsin freeway system. Thus, the downward spiral, an unsustainable situation called out by independent commissions, the nonpartisan LFB, the respected WTA and Walker’s transportation secretary.
Bottom line: Existing transportation revenue — stagnant for more than a decade — simply can’t support 1) repayment of mushrooming debt, 2) reconstruction of southeastern Wisconsin freeways, 3) a well-maintained statewide highway network and 4) local assistance for 90,000 miles of rural and municipal roads.
Compared to other states, Wisconsin ranks 35th in gas taxes and other fees paid by motorists. In the four neighboring states, a typical motorist pays an average of 61% more than in Wisconsin.
There’s a cost to that ranking, one the next Legislature has to confront. It is the cost to motorists and the state’s economy of not raising the gas tax. In that event, credible evidence shows that the share of state highways in poor condition could grow to more than a third. Likewise, southeastern Wisconsin freeway reconstruction will experience long delays and higher costs. These are but two of many illustrations of the real price that will be paid if the state chooses not to reverse the downward spiral.
The cost to the average motorist would be less than $10 a month to turn things around. Given the larger reduction in state and local taxes already in place since 2011, Walker could sign a gas tax increase and still rightly claim a net tax reduction during his tenure.
Potential savings might arise from recommendations in a soon-to-be issued legislative audit of the Transportation Department. However, they will not dent the documented funding shortfall that confronts the Transportation Fund. Likewise, the savings will be modest if the Legislature repeals prevailing wage laws that affect highway construction projects.
The governor and Legislature deserve great credit for progress in stabilizing Wisconsin’s general fund. They’ve largely cleaned up one problem inherited from Doyle. It’s time to address the other one.
Retired education consultant George Mitchell was assistant state budget director in the Lucey administration when the current Transportation Department and integrated Transportation Fund were created. He is a former Milwaukee County director of public works.

Hatch Baby, Maker Of Smart Products For New Parents, Raises $7M Series A From True Ventures
Catherine Shu @catherineshu / 5 years
Hatch Baby, whose Smart Changing Pad is due to ship soon, plans to conceive new tech-based services for parents after raising a $7 million Series A from True Ventures.
Other participants in the round included Geoff Ralston, James Hong, H. Barton Co-Invest Fund, and Veddis Ventures. True Ventures also invested in Hatch Baby co-founder and chief executive officer Ann Crady Weiss’ previous startup, a social networking site for parents called Maya’s Mom that was acquired by BabyCenter in 2007.
Hatch Baby’s first offering, the Smart Changing Pad, is currently taking pre-orders and scheduled to ship in December. The product is a diaper-changing pad with a wireless scale that helps parents track their offspring’s development. Its companion app, which can be used without the changing pad, lets parents see if their baby is hitting milestones set by the World Health Organization.
For people who don’t have kids yet or new parents who are wondering why they should spend $199 (the Smart Changing Pad’s pre-order price) on a changing pad when regular ones start at about $15, Weiss says having a convenient way to weigh a baby and record data can be reassuring.
“Often new parents have no idea whether their infant is getting enough nutrition or is growing as they should. That means frequent, panicked trips to the doctor or lactation consultant to weigh baby and make sure he or she is doing all right,” she told TechCrunch in an email. “The Smart Changing Pad lets parents know from day one, from the comfort of home, whether their baby is getting enough nutrition and growing at a healthy rate.”
The Smart Changing Pad’s closest competitor is probably the Withings Smart Kid Scale, which retails for $179.95 and also sends data to an app. Having a changing pad that doubles as a scale might make it easier to weigh fidgety babies, however, and also means new parents have one less thing to buy.
Weiss says Hatch Baby will use its new funding to develop the Smart Changing Pad and services for its community of users before eventually launching other products.

Google told scientists to take ‘positive tone’ on AI research: report
en control over its scientists’ papers by launching a “sensitive topics” review, and in at least three cases requested authors refrain from casting its technology in a negative light, according to internal communications and interviews with researchers involved in the work.
Google’s new review procedure asks that researchers consult with legal, policy and public relations teams before pursuing topics such as face and sentiment analysis and categorizations of race, gender or political affiliation, according to internal webpages explaining the policy.
“Advances in technology and the growing complexity of our external environment are increasingly leading to situations where seemingly inoffensive projects raise ethical, reputational, regulatory or legal issues,” one of the pages for research staff stated. Reuters could not determine the date of the post, though three current employees said the policy began in June.
Google declined to comment for this story.
The “sensitive topics” process adds a round of scrutiny to Google’s standard review of papers for pitfalls such as disclosing of trade secrets, eight current and former employees said.
For some projects, Google officials have intervened in later stages. A senior Google manager reviewing a study on content recommendation technology shortly before publication this summer told authors to “take great care to strike a positive tone,” according to internal correspondence read to Reuters.
The manager added, “This doesn’t mean we should hide from the real challenges” posed by the software.
Subsequent correspondence from a researcher to reviewers shows authors “updated to remove all references to Google products.” A draft seen by Reuters had mentioned Google-owned YouTube.
Four staff researchers, including senior scientist Margaret Mitchell, said they believe Google is starting to interfere with crucial studies of potential technology harms.
“If we are researching the appropriate thing given our expertise, and we are not permitted to publish that on grounds that are not in line with high-quality peer review, then we’re getting into a serious problem of censorship,” Mitchell said.
Google states on its public-facing website that its scientists have “substantial” freedom.
Tensions between Google and some of its staff broke into view this month after the abrupt exit of scientist Timnit Gebru, who led a 12-person team with Mitchell focused on ethics in artificial intelligence software (AI).
Gebru says Google fired her after she questioned an order not to publish research claiming AI that mimics speech could disadvantage marginalized populations. Google said it accepted and expedited her resignation. It could not be determined whether Gebru’s paper underwent a “sensitive topics” review.
Google Senior Vice President Jeff Dean said in a statement this month that Gebru’s paper dwelled on potential harms without discussing efforts underway to address them.
Dean added that Google supports AI ethics scholarship and is “actively working on improving our paper review processes, because we know that too many checks and balances can become cumbersome.”
The explosion in research and development of AI across the tech industry has prompted authorities in the United States and elsewhere to propose rules for its use. Some have cited scientific studies showing that facial analysis software and other AI can perpetuate biases or erode privacy.
Google in recent years incorporated AI throughout its services, using the technology to interpret complex search queries, decide recommendations on YouTube and autocomplete sentences in Gmail. Its researchers published more than 200 papers in the last year about developing AI responsibly, among more than 1,000 projects in total, Dean said.
Studying Google services for biases is among the “sensitive topics” under the company’s new policy, according to an internal webpage. Among dozens of other “sensitive topics” listed were the oil industry, China, Iran, Israel, COVID-19, home security, insurance, location data, religion, self-driving vehicles, telecoms and systems that recommend or personalize web content.
The Google paper for which authors were told to strike a positive tone discusses recommendation AI, which services like YouTube employ to personalize users’ content feeds. A draft reviewed by Reuters included “concerns” that this technology can promote “disinformation, discriminatory or otherwise unfair results” and “insufficient diversity of content,” as well as lead to “political polarization.”
The final publication instead says the systems can promote “accurate information, fairness, and diversity of content.” The published version, titled “What are you optimizing for? Aligning Recommender Systems with Human Values,” omitted credit to Google researchers. Reuters could not determine why.
A paper this month on AI for understanding a foreign language softened a reference to how the Google Translate product was making mistakes following a request from company reviewers, a source said. The published version says the authors used Google Translate, and a separate sentence says part of the research method was to “review and fix inaccurate translations.”
For a paper published last week, a Google employee described the process as a “long-haul,” involving more than 100 email exchanges between researchers and reviewers, according to the internal correspondence.
The researchers found that AI can cough up personal data and copyrighted material – including a page from a “Harry Potter” novel – that had been pulled from the internet to develop the system.
A draft described how such disclosures could infringe copyrights or violate European privacy law, a person familiar with the matter said. Following company reviews, authors removed the legal risks, and Google published the paper.

The Kenyan government may soon lift the ban on flying drones
Omolara Oseni November 29, 2019 0 0
The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) has revealed plans to lift its drone ban in the coming weeks/months.
KENYA to lift the ban on drones in the coming weeks/months once fresh regulations being developed in line with ICAO rules are approved by parliament, KCAA DG Gilbert Kine says. pic.twitter.com/sgOP0gEUwW
— Number8, the poet (@DannMwangi) November 29, 2019
This move is coming after the country’s aviation authority banned the flying of drones. The agency had warned that anyone caught flying a drone would either be jailed for up to a year or receive a fine of up to KSh100,000 ($975).
In March, the country’s parliament had legalised the use of drones. However, early in November, it annulled the regulation initially put in place due to the lack of public participation in drafting the regulations and privacy concerns.
Right now, a report has it that the Director-General of KCAA, Gilbert Kibe, said they are close to completing the draft of the regulations which will be presented to parliament for approval in order to end the ban on the use of drones. Additionally, Kibe said they hope to complete the process in the coming weeks.
The Director-General also claims that the agency has corrected the regulations to ensure drones are not misused by civilians and that the proposed legal structure will provide for the establishment of a registry for all drone owners in the country. The regulations will also make sure that the use of a remotely-piloted aircraft doesn’t threaten national security.
If the process of the new regulations is complete, Kibe states that it will regulate the importation and commercial use of drones for photography, humanitarian and health services, and recreational and wildlife conservation activities.
Kenya is not the first African country to place a ban on the use of drones. In 2016, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) placed a ban on unauthorised drones within the Nigerian airspace. A drone can only be used in Nigeria after the owner has obtained a permit.
Suggested Read: How to get a drone permit in Nigeria. Hint: It could kill you
Apart from Nigeria, other African countries that have banned the flying of drones are Algeria, Côte d’Ivoire, Madagascar, Morocco, and Senegal.
Considering that some African countries are finding more use for drones in sectors like health and security, among others, Kenya might be joining them by lifting the ban on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Citizens gather in London ahead of Julian Assange’s extradition hearing
Joanna Demarco
Hundreds of people gathered in London on Saturday in a joint call to the British government to prevent the extradition of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to the US, where he would face espionage charges.
The crowd walked under a grey sky to Parliament Square, protesting against the “threat to press freedom”. Banners carried slogans with phrases such as “Don’t extradite Assange” and “Truth is not a crime”. The hearing starts next week.
Significant figures such as Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, British Fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and Wikileaks editor-in-chief Kristin Hrafnsson participated and addressed the crowd.

Waters called on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to call off the “show” trial. “Julian Assange is an innocent man!” he said.
“If Julian is extradited for the sole crime of doing journalism on espionage charges, he will be the first but not the last. It will send a message to journalists all over the world that they will never be safe… it’s a big attack on press freedom worldwide,” said Hrafnsson.
Pan-European political movement Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25) co-founder Yanis Varoufakis told the crowd that they were protesting in order for “unarmed truth” to have the final word. “So that Julian’s sentence ends neither with a bang nor with a whimper, but with a majestic, a marvellous full stop,” he said.

A strike will be held in Sydney, Australia, on Monday.
Assange, the publisher of Wikileaks, is at Belmarsh high-security prison and has been charged for publishing the Afghanistan and Iraq war diaries and US embassy cables, important documents that many journalists around the world used.
The War Diaries provided evidence that the US Government misled the public about activities in Afghanistan and Iraq and committed war crimes.
Last week, Reporters without Borders (RSF) launched a petition to free Assange, and said that the publication of the documents by media outlets was clearly in the public interest, and not an act of espionage. “Julian Assange’s contribution to journalism is undeniable,” the organisation said. The NGO has collected over 39,000 signatures.
RSF also expressed concern about Assange’s health following a visit to Belmarsh prison in May by UN special rapporteur Nils Melzer. Melzer had reported that Assange had been deliberately exposed to inhuman and degrading treatment.
“The detention regime currently imposed on Assange appears to be unnecessary, disproportionate, and discriminatory and to perpetuate his exposure to psychological torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment,” Melzer had said
Earlier this month, more than 130 prominent German politicians, artists and journalists joined international organisations in their call to release the Wikileaks founder and signed a petition, saying that his detention was a “serious violation” of basic human rights.

Impact summary
Skate & Create
Phnom Penh, KH
CHILDREN HELPED:
In the early sixties, Andy Warhol created many works depicting consumer products, Hollywood stars, and a highly publicized series illustrating death and disaster in American society. As one of the most recognized faces in contemporary art, it seemed obvious for us to try and perpetuate Andy Warhol’s vision through our production. That’s why we recently collaborated with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts to produce a series of Andy’s most iconic works.
01 What's a "Printed Signature"?
“Printed Signature on the deck” refers to the printed signature of the artist included on the top-print. Most decks feature this printed signature, though some specified editions can also feature a hand signed artist signature.
02 How much is donated?
Art for Social Impact is at the core of who we are and what we stand for. We donate up to 25% of profits to support social projects.

Forever Flamenco presents Manuel Gutierrez in ‘Five’
Dance, Entertainment, Featured, Hidden Treasures, Music, On Stage, The Arts
Ernest Kearney
Forever Flamenco, have I said it once? Have I said it twice? I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve said it: “The Best Ticket in Town.” One Sunday a month, the stage at the Fountain Theatre is scorched by world class artists, dancers and singers of one of the most exhilarating performance forms that exists as they sing and dance the history of ancient Andalusia enfolded in silken influences of Arabic and Hindu.
On Sunday, March 26, Forever Flamenco will feature Manuel Gutierrez as the solo dancer in Five, a reference to himself and the four other artists appearing with him. Gutierrez, who began dancing Flamenco at age four, is the essence of “coraje” or spontaneity, which is at the core of Flamenco, which flourishes on improvisation much the same way as Jazz does.
The other four on stage with Gutierrez will be singer José Cortes. If supernovas sang, Cortes could rival them. Andres Vadin on guitar, Joel Nuñez on piano/sax and Grammy Award-winning percussionist Diego Alvarez “El Negro” will provide rumble to Cortes’ vocal lava and Gutierrez’s volcanic eruption.
Flamenco melds the essence of life’s anguish and exaltation—the one unavoidable the other unquenchable—into a defiant celebration of the human spirit. It is an expression of the depth of the human soul in a unique language both magnificent and magical.
The monthly performances of the Forever Flamenco Series, are guaranteed not merely to lift your spirits but to soar them, and at the end of the evening if your heart isn’t beating twice as fast as it was when you entered the theater, then check your big toe. There’s gotta be a tag on it.

West Bengal: Suvendu Adhikari's Brother, Still in TMC, Removed From Civic Body Post
Former TMC heavyweight Suvendu, a former state transport minister, joined the BJP on December 19.

Kolkata: Newly anointed BJP leader and former West Bengal minister Suvendu Adhikari‘s brother Soumendu has been removed from the post of the chairman of the board of administrators of the Kanthi Municipality in Purba Medinipur district, TMC sources said on Wednesday.
Soumendu Adhikari had not participated in the recent political programmes of the ruling Trinamool Congress in Purba Medinipur and a section of the party leaders alleged that he was supporting his brother’s mass contact programmes in the district in the last two months, they said.
His other brother and TMC MP Dibyendu Adhikari termed the decision as “unfortunate, unexpected and unfair.”
The Tamluk MP said he will remain a “loyal foot soldier” of the party but will take up the matter with Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee. “She is my leader. I have full faith in her,” he said.
The parliamentarian, however, said he will no longer operate out of the Kanthi Municipality building, where he had his MP office. The development comes close in the heels of Suvendu Adhikari asserting that “lotus will bloom in his family”. His father Sisir Adhikari and brother Dibyendu are TMC MPs.
Suvendu Adhikari, a former state transport minister, joined the BJP along with nine MLAs, five of them from the TMC, and a party MP during Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s rally in Medinipur on December 19.

Review of RIVERDALE Ch.23, “The Blackboard Jungle”

What’s with the backpack situation in Riverdale?
Riverdale is back! And all the dominos set up in the former half of the season are getting knocked down in the latter.
With the Black Hood unmasked (theoretically, I don’t believe it) we can move onto the mysteries of Lodge Industries. I personally would love a refresher on what they’ve done, but from what I can glean: Hiram Lodge, during and after being released from prison, has been using the Southside Serpents to depreciate land value in Riverdale and then swooping in to buy the land for development and gentrification. There also seems to be a drug element that wasn’t resolved before the mid-season finale, so I have to assume that that’s emanating from Casa Lodge.
But with the Black Hood nightmare over, the citizens of Riverdale are finding other ways to occupy their time. Utilizing Archie’s sleuthing, the FBI has sent a former Riverdale resident to recruit him into taking Hiram Lodge down. Despite the fact that Archie did nothing to solve the murder of Jason Blossom or the mystery of the Black Hood and that Betty did everything, the FBI is interested in him, mainly for his connection to Veronica and his own father’s involvement in Lodge Industries.
As an aside, the scene between FBI Guy and Archie could play equally as well as the introduction to a multi-episode gay porn arc. Agent Adams (gay) wants a few simple things from Archie: investigate the Nick St. Clair (Sinclair?) accident, and a deeper understanding of Lodge Industries.
Due to some nefarious dealings between Mayor McCoy and the Lodges (damn, they’re really earning their paycheck this season) Southside High has closed and its students are being move to Riverdale High. Normally, in comparison to teen murders and serial killers, normal storylines like school district consolidations would be a total bummer. But I’m just so glad that these kids are in class – I was worried about their college prospects. Now I’m just worried about the disturbing lack of backpacks amongst the Southside students.
Source: The CW
And so while Veronica (who knew from her parents that Southside was closing), Archie and Betty are welcoming towards the merger – even as it muddies the water of a Bughead break-up (was it a break-up?) – others are not as enthused. Cheryl Blossom, backed by Reggie (hot) and a coterie of cheerleaders (a swarm of cheerleaders? A gaggle? A culture?), is using dog-whistle language to lament the loss of Riverdale’s above-average GPA. This seems oddly out of character for Cheryl (she’s a bitch, not a racist) so here’s my theory.
First, Cheryl is deeply insecure, and hates any change. Second, she’s also self-conscious of her own family’s changing socioeconomic status.
But at the core is the squaring off between Toni Topaz and Cheryl. Before the season started, the powers-that-be suggested that Cheryl would be getting an unexpected love interest. Basically, that’s code for “queer.” Now that we’ve seen Cheryl’s weird love for Josie, the stage has been set for a same-sex Cheryl romance. I’m here for it – Cheryl’s never read as particularly “straight” to me, and her kissing Archie at the end of season one felt much more like a desire for closeness than sexual tension.
So while Cheryl amps up the anti-Southside sentiment (leading to stricter censorship of Southside regalia, Jughead’s suspension and a burgeoning possibility of romance between Kevin Keller and Southside’s Fogarty – could we be getting two queer romances for the low, low price of $9.99 a month?) Betty’s B-plot involves the Mysteriously Pregnant Polly who is no longer Pregnant. Post-natal Polly has given birth to twins (“Juniper and Dagwood”) without telling the rest of her family. To make it up to her mother (?), Betty decides to locate Alice’s long-lost son.
They discover he’s living two towns over and his name is Charles. Against Hal’s express wishes, Alice and Betty visit him in his hollow-cheeked glory. Charles “Chic” Smith is doing some shady work making people’s “fantasies” come true and is appropriately resentful towards his birth family. After a tense first meeting, Betty goes back to the apartment complex only to find her brother being stabbed by a strange, hulking man. God, what isn’t gay porn in this show?
Inevitable creepiness (including some Chic standing over Betty while she’s sleeping – light fare) ensues, and that’s the that on that. Until next episode (!!!).
Archie uses Cheryl as a red herring in order to get close to Nick. I’m really hating how people keep using Cheryl (and her assault) as means to an end. In an attempt to get her mother to stop hustling (literally being a “courtesan”) Cheryl will do anything to get that money, even reliving painful memories and gifting Archie the blazer of her dead, hot brother.
Under the guise of getting Nick to replicate that hush money, Archie somehow scrounges up the money to fly to New York to intimidate Nick. His goal is to get Nick to admit that the Lodges broke his legs for attempting to rape Veronica.
Side note: there are a lot of layers to this, but let it not be forgotten that the Lodges were fine with Nick when they thought he just attempted to rape Cheryl, but broke his legs when they found out what he had done to their daughter. Rape culture, y’all.
Nick taunts Archie; Archie breaks Nick’s nose; and despite getting the hush money, the trip is painted as rather fruitless. Agent Adams admonishes Archie for getting “sloppy” and Archie does not get Veronica to admit that she told her parents about Nick’s assault on her. And when she turns the tables – sensing that he’s lying to her – Archie uses the fact that Cheryl (technically) blackmailed him into helping her under the threat of releasing the secret of Archie kissing Betty. Given the town they live in (with rapists, drug dealers, and serial killers) and the fact that all parties were single, Veronica has an annoyingly overblown reaction. “You kissed?” she asked, in the same diner where, weeks earlier, Archie’s father had been shot point-blank and left for dead.
In the last, lingering moments of an incredible episode, Archie gives a voice to something that we’ve (me’ve) all been thinking. “In your expert opinion, Agent Adams,” he says, his caveman-hot brows drawn close and his voice gravelly, “do you think we got the right Black Hood? Because I’m not so sure.”
Season 2B (is that what we’re calling it) is off to an epic start. I cannot wait to see what else is in store. I really enjoy that the mystery of the Black Hood lingers, but I’m excited to dig deep into the Lodge drama.
Until next time, think about the fact that no Southside Serpents had backpacks and the only one was a Coachella-appropriate red number from Cheryl that would only fit a popper and some Kleenex.

Turns Out Quotes, Turned Out Quotes
Abstruse mathematical researches … are … often abused for having no obvious physical application. The fact is that the most useful parts of science have been investigated for the sake of truth, and not for their usefulness. A new branch of mathematics, which has sprung up in the last twenty years, was denounced by the Astronomer Royal before the University of Cambridge as doomed to be forgotten, on account of its uselessness. Now it turns out that the reason why we cannot go further in our investigations of molecular action is that we do not know enough of this branch of mathematics.

I recall my own emotions: I had just been initiated into the mysteries of the complex number. I remember my bewilderment: here were magnitudes patently impossible and yet susceptible of manipulations which lead to concrete results. It was a feeling of dissatisfaction, of restlessness, a desire to fill these illusory creatures, these empty symbols, with substance. Then I was taught to interpret these beings in a concrete geometrical way. There came then an immediate feeling of relief, as though I had solved an enigma, as though a ghost which had been causing me apprehension turned out to be no ghost at all, but a familiar part of my environment.

Junior high school seemed like a fine idea when we invented it but it turned out to be an invention of the devil. We’re catching our boys in a net in which they’re socially unprepared.

Superstrings are totally lacking in empirical support, yet they offer an elegant theory with great explanatory power.

The so-called science of psychology is now in chaos, with no sign that order is soon to be restored. It is hard to find two of its professors who agree, and when the phenomenon is encountered it usually turns out that one of them is not a psychologist at all, but simply a teacher of psychology. … Not even anthropology offers a larger assortment of conflicting theories, or a more gaudy band of steaming and blood-sweating professors.

[J.J.] Sylvester’s methods! He had none. “Three lectures will be delivered on a New Universal Algebra,” he would say; then, “The course must be extended to twelve.” It did last all the rest of that year. The following year the course was to be Substitutions-Théorie, by Netto. We all got the text. He lectured about three times, following the text closely and stopping sharp at the end of the hour. Then he began to think about matrices again. “I must give one lecture a week on those,” he said. He could not confine himself to the hour, nor to the one lecture a week. Two weeks were passed, and Netto was forgotten entirely and never mentioned again. Statements like the following were not unfrequent in his lectures: “I haven’t proved this, but I am as sure as I can be of anything that it must be so. From this it will follow, etc.” At the next lecture it turned out that what he was so sure of was false. Never mind, he kept on forever guessing and trying, and presently a wonderful discovery followed, then another and another. Afterward he would go back and work it all over again, and surprise us with all sorts of side lights. He then made another leap in the dark, more treasures were discovered, and so on forever.

Oscar Watch: Ema
Chilean director Pablo Larrain has history with Oscar voters and at the Venice Film Festival, he’s returned to his home country and unveiled his latest feature Ema. A marital drama starring Mariana Di Girolamo and Gael Garcia Bernal set in the reggaeton dance community, this is bound to be Chile’s selection in the newly coined Best International Feature race.
in 2012, Larrain saw his acclaimed No land a nod for what was then called Best Foreign Language Film. Five years later, A Fantastic Woman won the gold statue. The director made his stateside debut with Jackie in 2016, in which Natalie Portman received an Actress nomination for her portrayal of the former First Lady.
Early reviews for Ema suggest it’s a vibrant winner. I suspect the Academy is highly likely to include it in their final five selections of honored pictures from across the globe. My Oscar Watch posts will continue…
The 2019 Oscar Season Cometh
As the summer season winds down, the movie industry and this blog’s attention will soon turn to the Oscar race. And if you think it’s too early to do that, consider that less than a month from now – an avalanche of Academy hopefuls will be unveiled at film festivals. Toronto, Venice, Telluride, and the New York festivals are on deck. The programmers behind those events have already released the names of many of the pictures premiering. Here are some of the pictures wishing for Oscar glory that are hitting the circuit:
Tom Hanks is iconic children’s host Mr. Rogers in director Marielle Heller’s follow-up to last year’s Can You Ever Forgive Me?, which nabbed nods for Melissa McCarthy and Richard E. Grant. Premiering at Toronto.
James Gray has made multiple critical darlings, but has yet to pop up on the awards circuit radar screen. Could this sci fi drama with Brad Pitt and Tommy Lee Jones change that? Premiering at Venice.
An Officer and a Spy
It will need serious acclaim to overcome the baggage that comes from its maker Roman Polanski, but this historical thriller will attempt to do so in Venice.
Prior to its anticipated Netflix launch, Craig Brewer’s biopic of comedian Rudy Ray Moore portrayed by legendary comic Eddie Murphy will bow at Toronto.
Pablo Larrain has had his pics No and Jackie attract awards nods and this Chilean drama hopes to follow suit. Premiering at Venice.
Matt Damon and Christian Bale star in James Mangold’s 1960s set tale of the flashy automotive industry. Premiering at Toronto.
Cynthia Erica was a breakout in last year’s Widows. This year she has an Academy baity role as abolitionist Harriet Tubman in this historical epic from Kasi Lemmons. Premiering at Toronto.
This concoction from Taika Waititi is set during WWII with a dark comedic premise finding a young child with an imaginary friend who happens to be Hitler. The filmmaker himself plays Hitler. Scarlett Johansson and Sam Rockwell are among the cast.
Heath Ledger won a posthumous gold statue as the comic book villain in The Dark Knight. Joaquin Phoenix will attempt the same here. Premiering at Venice.
It’s been awhile since Renee Zellweger had a role receiving awards buzz. This biopic of Judy Garland could alter that. Premiering at Toronto.
This drama about a falsely accused prisoner features Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Foxx, and Brie Larson. Premiering at Toronto.
Rian Johnson’s murder mystery has a sprawling cast of hopefuls including Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, and Michael Shannon. Premiering at Toronto.
Noah Baumbach is a favorite of the critical community. This drama is headlined by Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver and hits Venice and other fests before its Netflix premiere.
Brooklyn director John Crowley adapts this drama based on a well-known 2013 novel. The cast includes Nicole Kidman and Oakes Fegley. Premiering at Toronto.
Rightly kicking off the New York Festival, Martin Scorsese directs this gangster saga starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci.
Oscar winner Steven Soderbergh directs this dramatic thriller with Meryl Streep, Gary Oldman, and Antonio Banderas. Premiering at Venice.
Lion nominee Dev Patel is the Charles Dickens character with a supporting cast including Tilda Swinton and Hugh Laurie. Premiering at Toronto.
Jonathan Pryce is Pope Francis and Anthony Hopkins is Pope Benedict in this Netflix effort from director Fernando Meirelles. Premiering at Toronto.
Followers of this blog know that I’ll do Oscar Watch posts on each of these and many others as they screen in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

Jackie Movie Review
Pablo Larrain’s Jackie presents a subject in a horrific stage of grief on a stage very few can identify with. Dealing with loss is a universal feeling. The universe watching you grieve is rare and was even more so in November 1963 when the 35th President of the United States was assassinated. A country turned to Jackie Kennedy and her decisions in the days following the tragedy are explored here.
Yet the most effective moments in the picture belong to Jackie’s quieter moments as she deals with her husband’s death. They are made even more powerful by Natalie Portman’s portrayal of her. In what is easily her finest performance since her Oscar-winning turn in Black Swan, Jackie is propelled by her even when narrative shortcomings present themselves.
The film is primarily set in the immediate days after President Kennedy’s fateful ride in Dallas. Mrs. Kennedy is tasked with planning a funeral when national security concerns are at a fever pitch. She’s also already grappling with how to preserve his legacy and we witness that through her interview with a journalist (Billy Crudup). It is here we see Jackie’s recollection of the proper way to memorialize a slain leader. How extravagant should the funeral be from a First Lady accused of being a bit extravagant? We see brief glimpses of tension with President Johnson (John Carroll Lynch) and especially his aide Jack Valenti (Max Casella).
Some of Jackie’s decisions literally have potential world implications. Far more personal ones are there like informing two young children. We also witness her bond with Bobby Kennedy (Peter Sarsgaard) and childhood friend Nancy Tuckerman (Greta Gerwig). Her psyche is explored in another flashback narrative as she talks about it with a priest, played by the late John Hurt.
The dual flashback setup often feels a tad familiar and sometimes stale. Those with a passing knowledge of the JFK assassination aftermath won’t learn much here. What is rewarding is Portman’s mesmerizing work. There’s also a haunting musical score by Mica Levi. John F. Kennedy has been called the first TV President. One thing does come through here with his First Lady’s recounting of events is her understanding of that. In her darkest moments, she also realizes that she must do all she can to control the story before others do. This does provide some fascinating moments of conversation with Crudup’s reporter. Even in her fragile and stricken state, Jackie feels the duty to write this chapter of history her way.

2016 Golden Globe Nominations Reaction
Well, the Golden Globe nominations are out and there are some genuine surprises to be had.
Not surprising? Damien Chazelle’s La La Land (the current front runner in the Oscar Best Picture derby) leading all nominees with seven with Barry Jenkins’s Moonlight close behind with six.
Surprising? A total shut-out for Martin Scorsese’s Silence and a better than expected showing for Tom Ford’s Nocturnal Animals.
All in all, my performance guessing the nominees was pretty weak. 64% total in the ten major categories predicted.
Let’s break them down one by one, shall we?
Best Picture (Drama)
My Performance 2/5
Analysis: Ouch. This race threw me for a loop as only Manchester by the Sea and Moonlight were nominated among my five. The three that weren’t: the aforementioned Silence, Arrival, and Fences. In their place: Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge, Garth Davis’s Lion, and David Mackenzie’s Hell or High Water. Truthfully, none of their inclusions are entirely surprising. Having said that, if I thought I’d get three picks wrong, I probably would have thought Pablo Larrain’s Jackie would get in. This race now appears to be between Manchester and Moonlight.
Best Picture (Musical or Comedy)
My Performance: 3/5
Well… a little better. The three I correctly predicted were La La Land, Florence Foster Jenkins, and 20th Century Women. Warren Beatty’s Rules Don’t Apply and The Lobster didn’t make it in in favor of Deadpool (!) and Sing Street. Bottom line here? La La is going to win this category.
Chazelle, Jenkins, and Lonergan were got in as I said they would, but Martin Scorsese and Denis Villeneuve (Arrival) did not. In their place are Mel Gibson for Hacksaw and the rather surprising inclusion of Tom Ford for Nocturnal Animals, especially considering the movie wasn’t nominated in Drama.
Best Actor (Drama)
The only incorrect estimate here is that Viggo Mortensen got in for Captain Fantastic instead of Tom Hanks for Sully. Ironically, I did predict Viggo would be nominated in Musical/Comedy here (I thought Fantastic would fall under that genre). The other nominees that I did get: Casey Affleck (Manchester by the Sea), Joel Edgerton (Loving), Andrew Garfield (Hacksaw Ridge), and Denzel Washington (Fences).
Best Actress (Drama)
Hey, the one and only race where I went 100%! The nominees: Amy Adams (Arrival), Jessica Chastain (Miss Sloane), Isabelle Huppert (Elle), Ruth Negga (Loving), and Natalie Portman (Jackie).
Best Actor (Musical or Comedy)
To me, the surprise is that the Hollywood Foreign Press didn’t nominate the legendary Warren Beatty for Rules Don’t Apply. As mentioned before, I put Mortensen in here, but he ended up getting nominated for Drama. The three I got right: Colin Farrell (The Lobster), Ryan Gosling (La La Land), and Hugh Grant (Florence Foster Jenkins). The two I didn’t: the pretty shocking nod for Jonah Hill in War Dogs and much deserved love for Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool.
Best Actress (Musical or Comedy)
Annette Bening (20th Century Women), Emma Stone (La La Land), and Meryl Streep (Florence Foster Jenkins) were all very easy picks to make and they got in. The other two were tougher. I went with Kate Beckinsale in Love & Friendship and Susan Sarandon in The Meddler, but it was Lily Collins (Rules Don’t Apply) and Hailee Steinfeld (The Edge of Seventeen) who made the cut.
Ouch again. When it comes to Oscar predictin’, this has been the most unpredictable category of them all and that showed with my GG’s performance here. I correctly named Mahershala Ali (Moonlight) and Dev Patel in Lion. My picks of Lucas Hedges (Manchester), Issey Ogata (the totally ignored Silence), and Michael Shannon (Nocturnal Animals) didn’t come to fruition. Instead, we got the surprise nod for Shannon’s Nocturnal costar Aaron Taylor-Johnson along with Jeff Bridges (Hell or High Water) and Simon Helberg (Florence Foster Jenkins).
Correct picks were Viola Davis in Fences, Naomie Harris for Moonlight, Nicole Kidman in Lion, and Michelle Williams for Manchester. It was Octavia Spencer in Hidden Figures that I didn’t get (I said Greta Gerwig in 20th Century Women instead). Spencer’s inclusion is a small surprise, as some of the Oscar chatter has had Janelle Monae more likely to get in for Figures than her costar.
La La Land, Manchester, and Moonlight are in as predicted. No love for Arrival and Silence. In their place? Hell or High Water and Nocturnal Animals.
And there you have it! I’ll have a post up with final predictions on the winners shortly before Jimmy Fallon hosts the proceedings in January…

2016 Golden Globe Predictions
The most visible Oscar precursor is unveiled tomorrow when the Golden Globe nominations come out. Unlike the Academy Awards, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association divides its Picture and lead acting races into two categories: Drama and Musical/Comedy. Additionally, it doesn’t split the screenplay race into Adapted and Original like the Oscars do.
Tonight on the blog, I am giving you my estimates for what and who will be nominated at the Globes, along with picking an alternate and a potential surprise in these races.
Predicted Nominees
Alternate: Jackie
Potential Surprise: Fences not getting a nod, allowing Jackie or Lion or Hacksaw Ridge to get in.
Rules Don’t Apply
Alternate: Hail, Caesar!
Potential Surprise: Captain Fantastic managing to get recognized.
Damien Chazelle, La La Land
Barry Jenkins, Moonlight
Kenneth Lonergan, Manchester by the Sea
Martin Scorsese, Silence
Denis Villeneuve, Arrival
Alternate: Denzel Washington, Fences
Potential Surprise: Pablo Larrain getting a nod for Jackie.
Casey Affleck, Manchester by the Sea
Joel Edgerton, Loving
Andrew Garfield, Hacksaw Ridge
Tom Hanks, Sully
Denzel Washington, Fences
Alternate: Andrew Garfield, Silence – will be interesting to see which pic he’s nominated for.
Potential Surprise: Michael Keaton landing a nom for The Founder, which could significantly boost his Oscar talk.
Warren Beatty, Rules Don’t Apply
Colin Farrell, The Lobster
Ryan Gosling, La La Land
Hugh Grant, Florence Foster Jenkins
Viggo Mortensen, Captain Fantastic
Alternate: Adam Driver, Paterson
Potential Surprise: Grant not being nominated, which would essentially kill his slimming chances for a Supporting Actor Oscar nod.
Amy Adams, Arrival
Jessica Chastain, Miss Sloane
Isabelle Huppert, Elle
Ruth Negga, Loving
Natalie Portman, Jackie
Alternate: Rachel Weisz, Denial
Potential Surprise: Hearing Rebecca Hall’s name called for the little seen Christine.
Kate Beckinsale, Love & Friendship
Annette Bening, 20th Century Women
Susan Sarandon, The Meddler
Emma Stone, La La Land
Meryl Streep, Florence Foster Jenkins
Alternate: Sally Field, My Name is Doris
Potential Surprise: Hailee Steinfeld sneaking in for the critically lauded The Edge of Seventeen.
Mahershala Ali, Moonlight
Lucas Hedges, Manchester by the Sea
Issey Ogata, Silence
Dev Patel, Lion
Michael Shannon, Nocturnal Animals
Alternate: Mykelti Williamson, Fences
Potential Surprise: There could be a lot in this race, but let’s go with Aaron Eckhart getting recognized for Sully or Bleed for This.
Viola Davis, Fences
Greta Gerwig, 20th Century Women
Naomie Harris, Moonlight
Nicole Kidman, Lion
Michelle Williams, Manchester by the Sea
Alternate: Helen Mirren, Eye in the Sky
Potential Surprise: Molly Shannon’s small indie work in Other People making the cut.
Alternate: Fences
Potential Surprise: Well, predicting Fences gets left off is a bit of a surprise, so let’s go with that.
I’ll have a post up tomorrow recounting how I did with these predictions. Until then…
Todd’s Weekly Oscar Predictions: December 1st Edition
Hello all! Welcome to December and welcome to my weekly Thursday Oscar predictions!
It’s been seven days since my last Turkey Day estimates in the eight major categories. A lot can change in a week and there’s been significant developments since we were all couch bound after our Thanksgiving feasts.
Let us count them…
1) Martin Scorsese’s Silence finally held some screenings, meaning buzz is out. Official reviews are embargoed until December 10, but the first reactions indicate that the director’s latest could be a force in the Oscar race. My predictions reflect that. Furthermore, initial word makes one wonder whether it’ll be Liam Neeson or Adam Driver that get the lion’s share of attention in Supporting Actor.
2) A number of awards precursors have rolled out their winners and nominations. We begin with the National Board of Review. Yesterday, the NBR bestowed their winners upon us. They are: Manchester by the Sea (Best Film), Barry Jenkins for Moonlight (Director), Casey Affleck in Manchester by the Sea (Actor), Amy Adams in Arrival (Actress), Jeff Bridges in Hell or High Water (Supporting Actor), Naomie Harris in Moonlight (Supporting Actor), Manchester by the Sea (Original Screenplay), and Silence (Adapted Screenplay). The critics organization also lists ten other pictures on the year’s best list and they are: Arrival, Hacksaw Ridge, Hail Caesar!, Hell or High Water, Hidden Figures, La La Land, Moonlight, Patriots Day, Silence, and Sully. Now – the NBR’s list of films have not and will not match what the Academy does. For instance, Hail Caesar! is not going to nab a Best Picture nod (it’s never been in my top 20 list of possibles and still isn’t). All the others, however, are at least feasible. The most notable snub is Fences, though I’d say it’s still near the top for Academy recognition. Lion is another notable omission.
3) The Critics Choice Awards came out today with their nominations. An important caveat: Silence (and Passengers and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) weren’t screened in time for consideration. The CCA nominates 10 pictures and they are: Arrival, Fences, Hacksaw Ridge, Hell or High Water, La La Land, Lion, Loving, Manchester by the Sea, Moonlight, and Sully. Another note: the upcoming Jackie got no Picture love from the NBR or CCA.
There are seven nominees for Best Director and six each in the acting and screenplay races. They are:
Director: Damien Chazelle (La La Land), Mel Gibson (Hacksaw Ridge), Barry Jenkins (Moonlight), Kenneth Lonergan (Manchester by the Sea), David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water), Denis Villeneueve (Arrival), and Denzel Washington (Fences). Gibson’s nod is a fascinating one and he may have slightly increased his chances at Oscar attention. That said, it’s important to remember that Scorsese (who’s almost sure to get a nomination) was ineligible.
Actor: Casey Affleck (Manchester), Joel Edgerton (Loving), Andrew Garfield (Hacksaw Ridge), Ryan Gosling (La La Land), Tom Hanks (Sully), and Denzel Washington (Fences). Nothing out of the ordinary here, though Garfield seems more likely to get Acting attention for Silence via the Academy.
Actress: Amy Adams (Arrival), Annette Bening (20th Century Women), Isabelle Huppert (Elle), Ruth Negga (Loving), Natalie Portman (Jackie), and Emma Stone (La La Land). Note: No nod for either Meryl Streep (Florence Foster Jenkins) or Jessica Chastain (Miss Sloane).
Supporting Actor: Mahershala Ali (Moonlight), Jeff Bridges (Hell or High Water), Ben Foster (Hell or High Water), Lucas Hedges (Manchester by the Sea), Dev Patel (Lion), and Michael Shannon (Nocturnal Animals). Note: While some awards prognosticators have listed Hugh Grant in Florence Foster Jenkins as a possibility, his fortunes seem to be dwindling. Also, no Mykelti Williams or Stephen Henderson for Fences.
Supporting Actress: Viola Davis (Fences), Greta Gerwig (20th Century Women), Naomie Harris (Moonlight), Nicole Kidman (Lion), Janelle Monae (Hidden Figures), and Michelle Williams (Manchester by the Sea). No real surprises here.
Original Screenplay: Hell or High Water, La La Land, The Lobster, Loving, Manchester by the Sea, Moonlight. Again, no shocks though the ignoring of Jackie continues here.
Adapted Screenplay: Arrival, Fences, Hidden Figures, Lion, Nocturnal Animals, Sully. With Hacksaw getting Pic and Director and Actor attention, a bit surprising it didn’t land a nod here.
4) The New York Film Critics Circle named their winners today. La La Land (the current front runner for Best Picture) was victorious. However, Director went to Barry Jenkins yet again for his work in Moonlight. Casey Affleck took another Actor prize with Isabelle Huppert in Elle helping her case out with an Actress win. Mahershala Ali (Moonlight) and Michelle Williams (for both Manchester and Certain Women) won their Supporting categories. The NYFCC combines screenplay into one and Manchester took top honors there.
Whew. Lots of information, I know, with plenty to digest! Taking all that into account and knowing there’s a bunch more precursors to come – here’s where I have the eight major races standing at this moment:
1. La La Land (Previous Ranking: 1)

4. Manchester by the Sea (PR: 6)

Todd’s Weekly Oscar Predictions: November 24th Edition
Happy Turkey Day all! And yes we all know it’s Thursday and that also means my weekly Oscar predictions are here for you to stuff yourself with. Over the last week, we have seen new developments as Allied opened, reviews came out, and its awards chances went buh bye.
Furthermore, both Patriots Day and The Founder (both out next month) had critical reaction come in. Patriots has established itself as a dark horse candidate for recognition with Founder popping up in the bottom of possibilities based on their reviews.
Added to that… Martin Scorsese’s Silence finally got a trailer release about a month before its premiere.
So there’s a bit of movement happening on the charts and here’s my Thanksgiving projections for the eight major categories:
10. Hidden Figures (PR: 10)
13. Patriots Day (PR: Not Ranked)
19. The Founder (Not Ranked)
20. Gold (PR: 20)
9. Pablo Larrain, Jackie (PR: 8)
8. Warren Beatty, Rules Don’t Apply (PR: 6)
9. Rebecca Hall, Christine (PR: 9)
10. Taraji P. Henson, Hidden Figures (PR: 10)
6. Jeff Bridges, Hell or High Water (PR: 10)
9. Hugh Grant, Florence Foster Jenkins (PR: 9)
10. Peter Sarsgaard, Jackie (PR: 8)
10. Felicity Jones, A Monster Calls (PR: 10)
9. Captain Fantastic (PR: 9)
10. Gold (PR: Not Ranked)
7. Live by Night (PR: 7)
8. Hacksaw Ridge (PR: 10)
10. Sully (PR: 9)
And that does it for your Thanksgiving edition of my Oscar predictions… Enjoy those leftovers!
toddmthatcher Oscar Predictions 1 Comment November 24, 2016 November 25, 2016 2 Minutes
Hey all! Back at it again with my weekly Thursday Oscar predictions in the eight major categories for your perusal. Over the last seven days, a couple of developments have occurred. Both Rules Don’t Apply and Miss Sloane screened for critics at the AFI Film Festival. Both were looked at as potential awards contenders, yet their prospects both diminished upon their unveiling. The two films are both hovering around mid-60s on Rotten Tomatoes and the likelihood of either competing for the big prize is remote. That does not, however, hold true for their leading performances. Both Warren Beatty in Rules and Jessica Chastain in Sloane are slotted in the #6 position in Actor and Actress, making both of them real possibilities in those races.
On another note, Arrival opened at the box office higher than expected. Audiences were more polarized than critics (many of them loved it) on it, yet its chances at a Best Pic nod seems quite possible at press time.
Allied opens next weekend and reviews should be coming in soon, so its prospects will become much clearer when I write my column on Thanksgiving.
A final comment: next week will be the last weekly post for November and come December, I’ll be predicting the possibilities in all categories at the big dance.
And with that – my weekly Oscar forecast:
18. Allied (PR: 20)
19. Florence Foster Jenkins (PR: Not Ranked)
7. Michael Keaton, The Founder (PR: Not Ranked)
10. Matthew McConaughey, Gold (PR: 8)
9. Rebecca Hall, Christine (PR: 10)
10. Taraji P. Henson, Hidden Figures (PR: 9)
8. Peter Sarsgaard, Jackie (PR: 7)
10. Jeff Bridges, Hell or High Water (PR: Not Ranked)
Aaron Eckhart, Sully
9. Helen Mirren, Eye in the Sky (PR: 10)
10. Felicity Jones, A Monster Calls (PR: 9)
9. Captain Fantastic (PR: 10)
10. I, Daniel Blake (PR: Not Ranked)
9. Sully (PR: Not Ranked)
10. Hacksaw Ridge (PR: 8)
And that does it for now, folks! Until next time…

That will change soon with such titles as Rules Don’t Apply, Miss Sloane, and Allied… so stay tuned as those pictures reveal themselves to be true contenders or not.

Todd’s Weekly Oscar Predictions: November 3rd Edition
Well – we’ve reached November, loyal blog readers and as I’ve mentioned before, I’m paring down the list of Oscar hopefuls in the eight major categories. Over the past two months, I’ve listed 25 possibilities for Best Picture and 15 for the Directing, Acting, and Screenplay races. Today, it gets whittled down to 20 in BP and 10 in the others. One development of note this week: it appears Dev Patel will be competing in Supporting Actor for Lion instead of Lead. That enters him in the derby for that race, which looks more unpredictable than any other at this moment.
There are still a number of Oscar hopefuls left to screen: Silence, Fences, Live by Night, Rules Don’t Apply, Passengers, The Founder, Hidden Figures, Miss Sloane, Gold among them. In other words, look for shifts in placement as these movies start receiving reviews and buzz in the near future.
Here’s how I have the respective competitions shaping up in this early November period:
20. Florence Foster Jenkins (PR: 18)
Nocturnal Animals, Miss Sloane, Passengers, Gold, 13th
4. Kenneth Longergan, Manchester by the Sea (PR: 3)
Mike Mills (20th Century Women), Ang Lee (Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk), Mel Gibson (Hacksaw Ridge), Ben Affleck (Live by Night), Clint Eastwood (Sully)
8. Andrew Garfield, Hacksaw Ridge (PR: 8)
9. Matthew McConaughey, Gold (PR: 13)
10. Viggo Mortensen, Captain Fantastic (PR: 12)
Dev Patel (Lion – moved to Supporting), Michael Keaton (The Founder), Jake Gyllenhaal (Nocturnal Animals), Will Smith (Collateral Beauty), Miles Teller (Bleed for This)
9. Marion Cotillard, Allied (PR: 10)
Taraji P. Henson (Hidden Figures), Rachel Weisz (Denial), Jennifer Lawrence (Passengers), Amy Adams (Nocturnal Animals), Emily Blunt (The Girl on the Train)
4. Dev Patel, Lion (PR: Not Ranked; considered to be Lead)
9. Mykelti Williamson, Fences (PR: 10)
10. Alan Rickman, Eye in the Sky (PR: 14)
Aaron Eckhart (Sully), Sunny Pawar (Lion), Jeff Bridges (Hell or High Water), Timothy Spall (Denial), Aaron Eckhart (Bleed for This), Kevin Costner (Hidden Figures)
10. Margo Martindale, The Hollars (PR: 10)
Helen Mirren (Eye in the Sky), Elle Fanning (20th Century Women), Janelle Monae (Moonlight), Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Miss Sloane), Laura Linney (Nocturnal Animals)
9. Miss Sloane (PR: 8)
10. I, Daniel Blake (PR: 11)
Toni Erdmann, Allied, Rules Don’t Apply, Gold, Florence Foster Jenkins
9. Love & Friendship (PR: 7)
10. Certain Women (PR: 10)
Sully, Elle, Indignation, The Jungle Book, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk
And that shall do it for now, friends! Until next time…

Anatomy Of A Propaganda Blitz - Part 1
We live in a time when state-corporate interests are cooperating to produce propaganda blitzes intended to raise public support for the demonisation and destruction of establishment enemies.
Below, we will examine five key components of an effective propaganda campaign of this kind.
1: Dramatic New Evidence
A propaganda blitz is often launched on the back of 'dramatic new evidence' signifying that an establishment enemy should be viewed as uniquely despicable and targeted with 'action'.
The Blair government's infamous September 2002 dossier on Iraqi WMD contained four mentions of the claim that Iraq was able to deploy WMD against British citizens within 45 minutes of an order being given. But senior intelligence officials revealed that the original 45-minutes claim referred to the length of time it might have taken the Iraqis to fuel and fire a Scud missile or rocket launcher. The original intelligence said nothing about whether Iraq possessed the chemical or biological weapons to use in these weapons. The government had turned a purely hypothetical danger into an immediate and deadly threat.
In 2011, it was claimed that the Libyan government was planning a massacre in Benghazi, exactly the kind of action that Gaddafi knew could trigger Western 'intervention'. Investigative journalist Gareth Porter commented:
'When the Obama administration began its effort to overthrow Gaddafi, it did not call publicly for regime change and instead asserted that it was merely seeking to avert mass killings that administration officials had suggested might approach genocidal levels. But the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), which had been given the lead role in assessing the situation in Libya, found no evidence to support such fears and concluded that it was based on nothing more than "speculative arguments".'
In 2013, the Syrian government was said to have launched a chemical weapons attack in Ghouta, Damascus, just as UN chemical weapons experts were visiting the city. It was claimed that Assad had ordered the crossing of Obama's very clear 'red line' for 'intervention' – a war that would have destroyed the Syrian government and quite possibly resulted in Assad's violent death. Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh reported on the Ghouta attack:
'The quick announcement that Bashar al-Assad did it is simply not true.'
Western dissidents are subject to continuous smears but also full-on propaganda blitzes of this kind.
In 2012, after WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange requested asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, the corporate media rose up as one to denounce him as a vile 'narcissist' and buffoon. Always 'controversial', journalists now presented Assange as a fully-fledged hate figure.
In 2013, a single comment in an interview caused large numbers of journalists across the 'spectrum' to conclude that Russell Brand – then promoting a vocal form of anti-corporate dissent - was a 'vicious sexist', 'narcissist' and 'idiot'. The intensity of the attacks on him, which are ongoing, eventually resulted in Brand withdrawing from the public eye.
It is hardly in doubt that Assange, Brand and others are being targeted by state-corporate propagandists because they are challenging state-corporate power. How else can we explain the fact that criticism of the many hundreds of journalists and MPs who have repeatedly agitated and voted for wars that have wrecked whole countries is off the agenda? It is not even that criticism of Assange, Brand and co is disproportionate; there is very often no criticism at all of people who have brought death, injury and displacement to literally millions of human beings. But when Brand joked about his then girlfriend: 'When I was asked to edit an issue of the New Statesman I said yes because it was a beautiful woman asking me', these words were viewed as infinitely more deserving of vicious attack right across the media 'spectrum' than political actions destroying whole countries.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has also, of course, been subject to a relentless, almost surreal, year-long propaganda campaign. As we will see in Part 2, this has most recently taken the form of accusations that 'Labour now seems to be a party that attracts antisemites like flies to a cesspit.'
Propaganda blitzes are fast-moving attacks intended to inflict maximum damage. State-corporate propagandists know that media attention will quickly move on from the claim of 'dramatic new evidence', so the durability of the claim is not a key concern. Marginalised media blogs and rare 'mainstream' articles may quickly expose the hype, but most corporate media will not notice and will not learn the lesson that similar claims should be received with extreme caution in future. A prime example was the campaign justifying war on Libya in 2011, which faced minimal corporate media scepticism just eight years after the obvious deception on Iraq.
2: Emotional Tone And Intensity
A crucial component of the propaganda blitz is the tone of political and corporate commentary, which is always vehement, even hysterical. High emotion is used to suggest a level of deep conviction fuelling intense moral outrage.
The rationale is clear enough: insanity aside, in ordinary life outrage of this kind is usually a sign that someone has good reason to be angry. People generally do not get extremely angry in the presence of significant doubt. So the message to the public is that there is no doubt. Thus the eruptions of moral outrage demanding that 'something must be done' to 'save' Libya and Syria from impending massacre (delivered by journalists blithely indifferent to the consequences of their earlier moral outrages, for example in Iraq). Thus the talk of 'The fascists at the poisoned heart of Labour' with their 'chilling' race hatred.
3: Manufacturing 'Consensus'
A third component of a propaganda blitz is the appearance of informed consensus. The dramatic claim, delivered with certainty and outrage, is typically repeated right across the political and media 'spectrum'. This cross-'spectrum' 'consensus' generates the impression that 'everyone knows' that the propaganda claim is rooted in reality. This is why the myth of a media 'spectrum' is so vital.
While a demonising propaganda blitz may arise from rightist politics and media, the propaganda coup de grace with the power to end public doubt comes from the 'left-liberal' journalists at the Guardian, the Independent, the BBC and Channel 4. Again, the logic is clear: if even celebrity progressive journalists – people famous for their principled stands and colourful socks – join the denunciations, then there must be something to the claims. At this point, it actually becomes difficult to doubt it.
Thus, in 2002, it was declared 'a given' by the Guardian that Iraq still retained WMD that might be a threat, despite the fact that both claims were easily refutable.
In 2007, George Monbiot wrote in the Guardian: 'I believe that Iran is trying to acquire the bomb.' In October 2011, Monbiot wrote of Nato's war on Libya: 'I feel the right thing has been happening for all the wrong reasons.' At a crucial time in August 2013, Monbiot affirmed: 'Strong evidence that Assad used CWs [chemical weapons] on civilians.' He subsequently wrote in the Guardian of the Assad government's 'long series of hideous crimes, including the use of chemical weapons'.
News of the killings of Syrian ministers in a bomb explosion were greeted by the Guardian's Owen Jones with: 'Adios, Assad (I hope).' Jones tweeted that 'this is a popular uprising, not arriving on the back of Western cruise missiles, tanks and bullets'. As was clear then and is indisputable now, Jones was wrong – the West, directly and via regional allies, has played a massive role in the violence. As if reading from the Nato playbook, Jones added:
'I'm promoting the overthrow of illegitimate and brutal dictatorships by their own people to establish democracies.'
This is why the mythology of the 'liberal-left' Guardian and Independent with their handful of noisy, tub-thumping progressives is so important and why we work so hard to challenge it. It is why expressions of progressive support for the Guardian – with occasional articles appearing by Noam Chomsky and others, and with Russell Brand, for example becoming a 'Guardian partner' – are so important.
The public is not for one moment fooled by a hard-right consensus. Agreement must appear to have been reached among 'all right-thinking people', including the 'lefties' at the Guardian.
4: Demonising Dissent
To challenge a propaganda blitz is to risk becoming a target of the blitz. Dissidents can be smeared as 'useful idiots', 'apologists', 'genocide deniers'. Anyone who even questioned the campaigns targeting Julian Assange and Russell Brand risked being labelled a 'sexist', a 'misogynist' and, in the case of Assange, a 'rape apologist'. Even as this media alert was being written, Oliver Kamm of The Times once again tweeted that Media Lens has 'long espoused genocide denial, misogyny & xenophobia'.
In fact we have been accused of supporting, or apologising for, everyone from Stalin to Milosevic, from the Iranian Ayatollahs to the North Korean dictatorship, Assad, Gaddafi, Saddam and so on. It seems we are so deranged that we support completely contradictory political and religious movements and beliefs, even enemies who despise each other. This may be a function of our swivel-eyed hatred of the West, or perhaps because we are challenging state-corporate media bias.
When moral outrage is directed at people challenging a propaganda blitz, reputations can be easily and irreparably damaged. The public can be left with a vague sense that the target is 'dodgy', almost morally unhygienic. The smear can last for the rest of a person's career and life.
5: Timing and Strange Coincidences
The 'dramatic new evidence' fuelling a propaganda blitz often seems to surface at the worst possible time for the establishment target. On one level, this might seem absurdly coincidental – why, time after time, would the Official Enemy do the one thing most likely to trigger invasion, bombing, electoral disaster, and so on, at exactly the wrong time?
But remember, we are talking about 'bad guys' who, as everyone knows, are famously perverse. It is part of the Dr. Evil mind-set to strut provocatively and laugh in the face of disaster. Idiotic, blindly self-destructive behaviour is what being a 'bad guy' is all about. So the implausibly perfect timing may actually help persuade the public to think: 'This guy really is a nutcase. He's absolutely asking for it!' Much 'journalism' covering Official Enemies is about suggesting they are comically, in fact cartoonishly, foolish in exactly this way.
We have no doubt that, with sufficient resources, media analysts could easily prove that propaganda blitzes consistently arise with impeccable timing just ahead of key votes at the UN, in parliament and in elections.
In November 2002, before the UN vote on Resolution 1441, which 'set the clock ticking' for war, the Blair regime began issuing almost daily warnings of imminent terror threats against UK ferries, the Underground, and major public events. In 2003, Blair actually surrounded Heathrow airport with tanks - an action said to be in response to increased terrorist 'chatter' warning of a 'missile threat', of which nothing more was subsequently heard. Even the Guardian editors expressed scepticism about this sudden flood of 'threats':
'It cannot be ruled out that Mr Blair may have political reasons for talking up the sense of unease, in order to help make the case for a war against Iraq that is only backed by one voter in three.' (Leading article, 'Gloom in Guildhall,' The Guardian, November 12, 2002)
John Pilger cited a former intelligence officer who described the government's terror warnings as 'a softening up process' ahead of the Iraq war and 'a lying game on a huge scale'. (Pilger, 'Lies, damned lies and government terror warnings,' Daily Mirror, December 3, 2002) In fact, Blair was perpetrating a form of psychological terrorism on his own people.
Likewise, atrocity claims from Syria clearly peaked as the US drew closer to war in the summer of 2013. After Obama chose not to bomb, it was extraordinary to see the BBC's daily front page atrocity claims suddenly dry up.
In 2012, the pro-Assad 'shabiha' militia became globally infamous when they were blamed for the May 2012 Houla massacre in Syria. In September 2014, Lexis found that in the preceding three years, the 'shabiha' had been mentioned in 933 UK national newspaper articles. But in the twelve months from September 2013 to September 2014 – a time when Western crosshairs shifted away from Assad towards Islamic State - there were just 28 mentions of 'shabiha' (Media Lens search, September 15, 2014). In the last year, Nexis finds just 12 articles mentioning the terms 'Syria' and 'shabiha' in the entire UK national press.
Similarly, in Part 2, we will see how a propaganda blitz targeting Jeremy Corbyn coincided perfectly to damage his chances ahead of local elections in the UK.
In combination, the 'dramatic new evidence', moral outrage and apparently wide consensus, generate several important impacts.
Most people have little idea about the status of WMD in Iraq, about Gaddafi's intentions and actions in Libya, or what Corbyn thinks about anti-semitism. Given this uncertainty, it is hardly surprising that the public is impressed by an explosion of moral outrage from so many political and media 'experts'.
Expressions of intense hatred targeting 'bad guys' and their 'apologists' persuade members of the public to keep their heads down. They know that even declaring mild scepticism, even requesting clarification, can cause the giant state-corporate Finger of Blame to be cranked around in their direction. Perhaps they, too, will be declared 'supporters of tyranny', 'apologists for genocide denial', 'sexists' and 'racists'. The possibility of denunciation is highly intimidating and potentially disastrous for anyone dependent on corporate employment or sponsorship. Corporations, notably advertisers, hate to be linked to any kind of unsavoury 'controversy'. It is notable how 'celebrities' with potentially wide public outreach very often stay silent.
It is easy to imagine that people will often prefer to decide that the issue is not that important to them, that they don't know that much about it – not enough to risk getting into trouble. And, as discussed, they naturally imagine that professional journalists have access to a wealth of information and expertise – best to just keep quiet. This is the powerful and disastrous chilling effect of a fast-moving propaganda blitz.
Propaganda And Climate Change
The most devastating impact, however, is on the public perception of threats.
A series of propaganda blitzes have taught the public to associate an alarming situation with a unified eruption of concern and outrage right across party politics and media. This is a problem because genuine threats that do not trigger a propaganda blitz naturally appear to be far less urgent and threatening than they really are. And this is exactly what has happened with climate change.
Despite the endlessly and ominously tumbling records for temperature and extreme weather events – see here and here - despite increasingly urgent attempts to warn the public of a very real 'climate emergency', scientists are not close to being able to match the kind of alarm generated by a propaganda blitz.
These campaigns are rooted in vast power and resources defending establishment greed. They are motivated by the need to remove obstacles to power and profit, to control natural resources, to justify bloated arms budgets ('socialism for the rich'). Naturally, then, a propaganda blitz is not triggered by a threat requiring action that will harm these same elite interests.
As the state-corporate response to climate change makes very clear, propaganda blitzes are not really about averting 'threats'. It is tragicomic indeed to see high state officials and corporate media commentators endlessly emphasising 'security concerns' while doing little or nothing to address the truly existential threat of climate change. It is simply the wrong kind of threat requiring the wrong kind of action!
The result is that the climate emergency is felt by the public to be a medium-sized, manageable problem surrounded by uncertainty. A YouGov survey in January found that the 'British public is far more concerned about the threat posed by population growth than it is about climate change.' The case for dramatic new evidence has been made, but the emotional intensity, consensus and denunciation of climate denier 'dissidents' – for once, all justifiable - are lacking.
This is an awesome price to pay for corporate domination of politics and media. It seems the ultimate victims of propaganda will be the propagandists themselves and the public deceived by them.
In Part 2, we will see how a recent propaganda blitz aimed at Corbyn fits the pattern outlined above.

Comic Review – The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #47 (Marvel Comics)
Posted on August 15, 2019 by thelostlighthouse in Comics, Literature and tagged art, comic book review, comic books, Derek Charm, Erica Henderson, Madeline McGrane, Marvel comics, Marvels, Rico Renzi, Ryan North, Squirrel Girl, superhero, superhero comics, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, TLL, Travis Lanham.
“She did it. She ruined my life” – Squirrel Girl
One of my earliest reviews was back in 2015 when one of my favourite comic book characters, Squirrel Girl, was given her own series. Ryan North has written a wonderfully fun series, providing a breath of fresh air in modern comic books with what is essentially a silver age comic book character running about the modern-day Marvel world and succeeding. With the announcement by North that this Squirrel Girl will be coming to an end at issue 50, quitting while its ahead as opposed to being cancelled, it felt appropriate for me to revisit as the final arc kicks off.
Cover by Erica Henderson (Marvel)
Writer – Ryan North
Artist – Derek Charm
Colour Artist – Rico Renzi
Letterer – Travis Lanham
Cover Artist – Erica Henderson
Issue 47 draws together North’s original cast of characters who have become Doreen Green’s (Squirrel Girl’s) closest, most trusted friends and supporters, and really brings to life North’s take on the character. Fun, smart, capable, and approaches her problems laterally with a real-world computer science-based approach. The tone is light-hearted with fun references to everything from Doreen’s classic battles to existentialist philosophy. North’s own villain Melisa Morbeck has set herself up to be Doreen’s final challenge which she certainly does in an explosive opening. Doreen is faced with an existential threat both socially and facing a full roster of villains with a total power greater than anything she’s faced before (keep in mind she’s taken Thanos and Galactus) which feels wonderfully true to the series and her character. North also frames Doreen’s greatest power as the power of friendship, which would effectively work as the tag-line to this series.
Art by Charm and Renzi (Marvel)
Charm’s art is wonderfully full of life, the combined with the colours Renzi provides gives us a dynamic opening battle and engaging issue which jumps out of the page to drag the reader in. The issue feels like a Saturday morning super hero cartoon we used to watch as kids and is all the better for it. Henderson, the series original artist, returns as the cover artist which is the only right way to do this having provided the defining current look of squirrel girl.
The ending of this series pulls together all that was great about North’s run and serves as a wonderful tribute to his interpretation of Squirrel Girl. I believe this run has done so well this has effectively become the public’s interpretation of Squirrel Girl, taking her from a joke character to a fully engaged super hero.
As you can tell I have been a huge fan of the series, it’s been one I looked forward to each time its released. While I am a little sad the series is coming to an end quitting while you’re ahead is something that I’m sure most of modern day super hero stories probably won’t manage to do.
Score: 10 Squirrel Scouts out of 10

“Mei, we're the wind!”
My Neighbor Totoro is one of Miyazaki's most beloved and celebrated movies.
30 years after the film's release, Totoro imagery pops up all throughout American animation.
So, besides the fact that he's totally fluffy and adorable, why does everyone love Totoro so much?
“He was furry, with a great big mouth!
There's a little one, and a bigger one, and a huge one that kept falling asleep!”
Totoro resonates with us because he transforms scary situations into silly ones.
He gives Satsuki and Mei moments of fun and comfort while they face the terrifying fact that their mom is sick in the hospital.
He represents the spirit we can summon to lift ourselves out of dark times.
The wisdom of the movie is that being brave isn't about having a stiff upper lip.
It's about channeling the imagination, humor and hope of a very silly spirit of the forest.
Before we go on, if you're new here be sure to subscribe and click the bell to get notified about all of our new videos.
Totoro is a woodland spirit - which is kind of like a ghost, although he's not dead - but the film changes up our usual assumptions that spirits or ghosts are supposed to be scary.
“Hey! You in there! Your house is haunted!”
“Kanta!”
Satsuki's and Mei's house may be haunted
“It's creepy!”
“CREEPY!”
“It looks like it could be haunted” but this is hardly anything to be upset about.
Totoro appears whenever the girls are scared and the real world becomes too overwhelming, and he offers them relief.
So he transforms a scary world into something manageable.
The girls' dad encourages them to laugh at their fears.
“Everybody try laughing.
Then whatever scares you will go away.”
He's literally referring to the storm here, but he also means this in relation to their mother's illness.
“We're going to visit mom in the hospital!”
Thanks to their dad's advice, when Mei meets Totoro, she's not afraid to roar back at him.
Their dad also lightens the weight of their mom's sickness through imaginative coping mechanisms.
“It was probably just some soot gremlins.”
And Totoro personifies this imagination that can be a friend to help us through dark times.
It's almost as if Totoro comes to life as a result of their dad's advice.
One of the most iconic scenes in the film takes place as the girls wait for their dad at the bus stop in the rain.
The girls wait in silence, but we feel the weight of what goes unspoken.
With their mom in the hospital and their dad MIA, they're confronting the possibility that they could be left without parents at all, which is probably the scariest conceivable idea to a child.
“Satsuki, Dad wasn't on the bus!”
“He'll be on the next one for sure.”
This scene clocks in at almost seven minutes, which is a significant amount of time in a movie that's just under an hour and a half long.
It's an especially long time to spend on a scene with so little dialogue, so the length communicates the scene's importance to the audience.
The tense silence combined with the rain, the increasing darkness, and the loss of hope as vehicles pass by without their dad add up to a sinking sense of dread.
But just as the girls reach this dark, desolate low, Totoro appears.
His friendly, whimsical presence immediately lightens the mood.
Totoro jumps and splashes in the rain.
Here, he turns something that was previously scary--the rain--into something worthy of a big, silly grin.
So a big reason audiences and the girls love Totoro is that he shows how a little imagination and whimsy can protect us from getting swallowed up by fears.
Totoro also teaches that sometimes it helps to act more like a kid.
The first time we see Totoro is right after Mei play-acts being a grown-up.
“Are you going somewhere?”
“I'm just off to run some errands.”
But Totoro and his friends remind her that a kid's fortes like imagination and play - are just as important.
In the rain scene, it's significant that Totoro breaks the silence.
The girls think that, to be brave, they should internalize their pain and suffer in silence like a grown-up would.
“She said she wouldn't stop crying unless I brought her to you.”
“She said that?
Mei, be reasonable.”
But Totoro encourages them to be loud, and let their feelings out.
Soon after the rain scene, the girls receive an upsetting telegram from their mom's doctor, but Totoro doesn't appear to comfort them right away.
So they slide back into fear and trying to repress their feelings.
Eventually the burden of their mom's illness releases a flood of suppressed emotion.
“It's not fair!”
“Mei.
We just have to wait a little longer.”
“You want her to die, Mei? Is that what you want?”
The girls start to despair.
“Granny, what will we do if she dies?”
“Satsuki!”
“Maybe she's dead already.”
Yet they still keep clinging to their ideas of coping like adults.
“You're such a baby!
Just grow up!”
and she's frustrated that everyone tries to protect her from the truth.
“This is just like last time.
They said mom just had a little cold.
She'd be home in a few days.”
When Mei runs away, Satsuki at first tries to handle this the way an adult would.
These scenes are a rejection of everything Totoro represents, and they're some of the most hopeless in the movie.
As Satsuki asks people on the streets if they've seen Mei, and the adults search the lake to see if she's drowned, losing Mei suddenly becomes a real possibility.
We no longer feel like we're in a kids' fantasy, but in a gritty reality where kids go missing, and moms sometimes die.
Satsuki finally realizes that she needs Totoro's help to save Mei.
“Totoro.
Mei's lost.
I'm sure she's scared half to death by now.
I don't know where else to turn.”
Totoro's big grin and fluffy physique let us know immediately that everything will be okay.
We see that, when we're in the most terrifying situations, giving into despair will make us unable to solve the problems at hand.
The most constructive thing to do is summon that inner hope, ingenuity and resourcefulness of Totoro.
As a forests spirit, Totoro also represents the magic of nature.
He teaches the girls that they can rely on nature to comfort them.
Acorns are a common motif throughout the film,
and the girls treat acorns like treasures, not mundane things.
They glint in the sunlight like gold, appearing to the audience like treasure, too.
The acorns represent potential for growth and change, and the real-life magic of a seed becoming a tree.
With his magic, Totoro shows the girls that even when other things in their lives are out of their control, nature can provide comfort and stability.
Seeds will become trees, and trees will become forests.
But even though nature is magical, growth happens slowly.
“Mei watches them all day. Every day. Waiting for them to sprout.”
and it sometimes takes a while to see the results.
And that can feel frustrating and hopeless.
Totoro teaches us to have faith in the course of time and the natural rhythm of things.
“I thought it was a dream!”
“But it wasn't a dream!”
“Mei!
This lesson is especially important for Satsuki and Mei, who have to believe that their mom will get better, even if they can't see her progress, and even if it sometimes feels like she'll never get out of the hospital.
Miyazaki's movies are known for their environmentalist messages.
His stories make kids aware of how important it is to respect our planet.
Totoro doesn't deal directly with the dangers of industry and pollution the way some of his other films do, but it does treat nature as something to be revered.
“When I saw this tree, I knew this would be a good place for our family to live.
Thank you for watching over Mei, and making us feel so welcome here.
Please continue to look after us.”
The girls need Totoro, the spirit of the forest, to guide them, to give them hope, and to look after them.
And we need nature to shelter and protect us.
This relationship isn't something to passively take for granted:
it's something we need to treasure like a friendship.
My Neighbor Totoro is beloved by Japanese and American audiences alike, because Totoro himself is the ultimate comfort object.
Like a stuffed animal or a security blanket, he provides a sense of warmth and safety for Satsuki and Mei, and for all of us in the audience.
Totoro is always there to give you a hug,
and remind you that everything will work out in the end.
it's Debra and Susannah, and you're watching ScreenPrism.
Thank you guys so much for watching.

The wait is almost over. It was a good ass off season, but it is time to start cranking it back up. Hoops season is back, and I couldn’t be happier. So let’s skip the foreplay and talk about the upcoming season, my favorite story lines A to Z.
You could put Damien Lillard, Andrew Wiggins, and James Khardasian Harden on a barnstorming tour with 2 scrubs and they’d run shit……that is until they ran into the top 3 Nike ballers and their 2 scrubs.
If you were ever thinking about buying some Adidas stock, now would be the time to do it before the season starts (It has risen 10 points since I first checked it in September). That being said, just ask Ray J, Reggie Bush, Kris Humphries, Bruce Jenner, and Lamar Odom how much better their lives are after getting involved with that family.
BILLY DONOVAN
I was a little skeptical about the Billy Donovan hire. A year before KD’s free agency seemed like bad timing to try and shake things up. But after reading a couple of interviews, and after Monty Williams and Mo Cheeks were hired as assistant coaches, I feel a lot more optimistic about the Thunder’s upcoming season, and their chances of re-signing Kevin Durant. There will be a learning curve, but not nearly as steep as most first year head coaches.
He has all the tools (assuming his star players are healthy) to make the Western Conference Finals. Only a fool however; would try and compare his rookie season to Steve Kerr’s first year as coach. Kerr has been a GM, an announcer, and played for Lute Olson, Phil Jackson, and Gregg Popovich. This is Donovan’s first season IN THE LEAGUE. It will take a series of fortunate bounces for Donovan to make it out of the West, and beat Lebron in the NBA Finals.
C. J. McCOLLUM
This is the year my man takes the leap and shows the world he was the player I thought he was when he was saucing up Duke in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
The dude can get buckets, and he will be asked to help out with the scoring load for the Trailblazers. When they let Wes Matthews go, I think the front office was banking on C.J. staying healthy (he hasn’t played a full season in 3 years counting his senior year at Lehigh) and taking his game to a higher level. This could be a fun backcourt to watch in years to come.
That is right. KD is back and he says he is feeling fine. The playoffs are not the playoffs without KD playing involved. I had gotten so used to the Thunder making the post season, that it felt odd to not have them around. It shows how fast six years can go by.
The EASTERN CONFERENCE
Not quite as wack as last year, but still kind of an eye sore for the basketball purists. Fred Hoiberg will be a breath of fresh air in the Chicago locker room. The Heat will be competitive again (more on them later I promise) and the Celtics will look to improve on their season by actually being .500 again. Lebron will have to work for it a little bit more, meaning they may lose 3 more games in the post season than last year. Unless there is a catastrophic injury to LBJ, you can pretty much pencil them in for the Finals. You cannot say that about ANY team in the west.
FEAR THE DEER
J-Kidd and the Milwaukee Bucks will push the Heat to 6 games in the Eastern Conference Finals. Mark it! They are long, young, fast, and Jason Kidd, who was already a head coach on the court as a player, will be worth at least ten regular season wins alone.
The man is brilliant, and if you’ve ever wondered why people complain about Chris Paul as a leader, then go watch some old game footage of Kidd. Everyone who has ever played with Kidd talks about how great of a teammate and leader he was. As great of a player as Paul is, I’ve never once heard a teammate describe him as supportive.
Yep. If you were worried that there wouldn’t be a white Duke player to rot against this year, I just served you one up on a platter. Grayson kept the Dukies in last year’s National title game, with some tremendous energy off the bench. If you took Steve Wojciechowski’s antics and gave Ron Paulus hops, then you would have this guy. I actually like this cat. He plays hard. He works hard. He can bang on you if you sleep on him, and from every interview I’ve seen he seems like a great teammate.
He does not strike me as someone who takes anything for granted. But yeah, fuck Duke. I’d be shocked if they won it all this year. Tyus Jones is in the pro’s now, and that guy was the best PG they’ve had since Jay Williams. Go ahead and pencil in another early round exit for the Blue Devils. Nothing makes me happier than typing those words.
HASSAN WHITESIDE
This cat is like Andrew Bynum without the knee injuries. Homie can ball, but dude is a little “Goof Troop.” His 2K rating will surely go up this year, because he when he is in the lineup, you can expect bro to put up a double double—and that is just in rebounds and blocks. He doesn’t even need to score to affect the game. That being said, he can just easily do something stupid to get himself taken out of the game. But if rebounding and defense get you aroused, then grab a Kleenex and tune in to Miami Heat games.
Fuck Injuries. Let’s pray for a year without any major injuries to the superstar players. We already know the score concerning Derrick Rose and Kyrie Irving, but last season was just ridiculous. Can we at least have every team playing in the post season relatively healthy? I’ll sacrifice a bucket of chicken to the injury gods. I suggest that you all do the same.
JUSTICE WINSLOW
What the fuck? I started out writing a basketball preview column and it has turned into 2014 Duke Blue Devils tribute. I cannot believe that Winslow fell to the number 10 pick. Every team that had the 4-9 picks are going to be kicking themselves. Winslow is fast, he plays defense, and he is athletic. You want to know why Duke won it all last year? It was because of this guy.
Winslow should have been playing in New York or Charlotte. He is my preseason pick for Rookie Of the Year. As my mother used to say to me whenever I was one strike away from an epic ass whupping , “If you don’t believe me then just hide and watch.
KRZYZEWSKI KANSAS BASKETBALL
As in the state of Kansas. This year there will be three Kansas teams in the top 25, and two of them, Wichita State and University of Kansas, have legitimate chances of being in the Final Four (if they can somehow avoid being put in the same bracket). The Shockers bring back the best backcourt in the country with Fred VanFleet and Ron Baker (Baker played in the PanAm games up in Toronto this summer with my boy Keith “K-Freeze” Langford). They are also bringing on Connor Frankamp to help out with the ball handling duties (he can shoot too). They are poised for a deep run into the tourney this year.
As for the Jayhawks, well this is finally the year I’ve been waiting for when Frank Mason and Wayne Selden came onto the campus as freshmen. They are finally mature enough to take the helm, and you know Perry Ellis is going to quietly get his 20 points and 8 rebounds during his senior campaign.
Devonte Graham has one more year of experience under his belt, and Svi Mykhailiuk will be ready to contribute more on the court as a super sophomore. Self has a rotation of big men (Chieck please!!!!) in the front court, and they have the depth to wear a team down. With Hoiberg coaching the Bulls now, Self will have even less competition this year en route to his 13th straight Big 12 championship. Self’s stranglehold on the conference will end soon now that UT has made a major upgrade with Shaka Smart taking over for Rick Barnes.
As for K-State? No one gives a shit about them. although i’ll give them props for almost beating TCu the other night in football.
This is the year I finally get it. Fuck this streaming shit. “Ain’t nobody got time for dat”
The Panda King is back on the LOL Lakers who may not be so LOL this year. It is still a rebuilding year, but did you ever think you’d see the day where you’d feel less hatred for the Lakers locker room than the Clippers? More on those busters later. If you ever want to take a trip to the twilight zone, follow Ron –ahem Metta on Twitter. Dude is out there. He elbowed Harden in the head way before it was fashionable to even feel that way. Maybe homie is Meta.
NEW FACES, NEW LACES, BUT NOTHING REALLY CHANGES
Other than Oklahoma City, the same teams will be in the playoffs. It was much harder to talk myself into Utah and Quinn Snyder (fuck Mizzou), and Phoenix,than it was to talk myself out of Memphis’ old ass roster.
ONE LAST DANCE
We are on the cusp of a new age in San Antonio. The new big three for the Spurs going forward will be “Lamarcus!!!!”, Kyle “Slo-Mo” Anderson, and Kawhi Leonard. I think this is the year where the Spurs may actually be “too old” to win the NBA title. I’m not sure how much Parker has left in the tank, Duncan will be fine, but this is certainly Manu’s last year to play in the NBA. I think the Spurs would have beaten the Clippers last year had they played Patty Mills more. They may need Patty and every other guard to chip in and lighten the load for Monsieur Parker.
PAUL PIERCE RETURNS HOME.
Jalen Rose correctly points out that this is the best roster that the LOL Clippers have ever had in the history of the franchise.
You have a locker room filled with so many strong personalities that I think that this will be Doc Rivers finest job as a head coach, if he somehow gets this team to the NBA Finals (An NBA Finals that I will have no choice but to root for Lebron if the Clippers win the West–kind of like when I had to root for Chicago back in the late 90’s vs. Utah). I am extremely curious how things play out with Chris Paul, Josh Smith, Lance Stephenson,Glen “Big Baby” Davis, and Austin Rivers.
What is the over/under on how many times Paul Pierce utters the phrase “Ya’ll childish” as he exits the locker room while shaking his head? Who will be the guy who gets cut by the team for breaking Austin Rivers’ jaw? Remember when the Wizards had Javale McGhee, Javaris Critendon, Deshawn Stevenson, and Gilbert Arenas on the same team? If managing that team was like handling nitro glycerin, this Clipper roster is like juggling grenades.
QUICKEN LOANS ARENA
I think the Cavs go at least 37-4 at home this year. There is talk about them being “angry”, more focused and all that nonsense. They can do all that, but it’s a long season. They should focus more on being healthy. It isn’t a matter of if Kyrie will hurt himself again, but when. They will be a more cohesive unit than they were last year heading into the playoffs, and I can’t expect Kevin Love to lay another egg this season (I mean for him at least—he still put up decent numbers). They will figure it out. They would have to try to not make the Finals in that conference.
He is reason enough that the Mavericks will make the playoffs. He is poised to win Coach of the Year honors for the roster he is working with this season. Like I said before, he is the second best coach in the league behind “Pops.”
SIDELINE REPORTING
Just isn’t the same without Craig Sager and those goofy ass suits. I miss that dude. I hope he gets well soon.
TY LAWSON
If the Spurs would have somehow gotten Lawson, this season would have been a wrap. Ty finally has something to work with, and he has a lot to prove to all his doubters. The Rockets are going to get up and down the court and will average at least 110 points a game. Rockets games will be easier to digest—well that is until the 4th quarter where Harden starts initiating the free throw contests. But the first 3 quarters will be good. Give me a Rockets vs. OKC/Golden State/ San Antonio any night of the week though.
Check the stocks. Under Armour is killing the game right now. Shares are like 102 points the last time I checked. Steph Curry is winning on the court and off of it. Homie got a little piece of the action and has bought stake in the company (Getting a little bit of everything in today’s preview at zero to little cost).
Speaking of winners, can we give props to Dell Curry? The guy had a very solid NBA career, married a beautiful and smart woman, and has two sons in the NBA. One of them is coming off of an NBA title, and the other played 4 years at Duke and just got a legit contract with the Kings. #Winning.
VUJACIC
Yes Sasha Vujacic is still in the league, and may be playing with the New York Knicks this season. Need I say more?
WILLIE CAULEY STEIN
The best player to come out of the state of Kansas in a very, very long time. He has height, lateral quickness, defense, and ups. He will get 8 points a game just from Rondo throwing him oops all season. Imagine if you could let Tyson Chandler play defense out on the perimeter. Exactly!!!
XAVIER (As in David West’s alma mater).
I’ve always thought D. West would be the perfect Spur, and he will prove his worth on this roster. He is a true professional and after seeing him beat up on San Antonio throughout the years, it is cool to see him on the side of the good guys. I want so badly to pencil them in for the Finals. I just don’t know if they enough backcourt depth to make it happen.
New stars are good for the league. I’ve already talked about some of this year’s rookies, but the Teen Wolves will be the most fun 20 win team you’ve ever seen. They will compete, but they still not quite there yet. Kevin Garnett in that locker room will be nothing but an asset.
He’s already teaching those Youngbloods what it means to be a professional. They would make a great NBA Jam team. Wiggins, Lavine, and Shabazz Mahummud would be a fun trio to run with (Rubio as the alternate). They are not too far away from being where OKC was back in ’08-10. They just have to be smart (don’t laugh its possible—anything is possible) with personnel moves the next 3 years.
Utah has a decent core coming back. Going up to Salt Lake City is no longer an easy W. They are going to make teams earn it. I like Heyward. Trey Burke still has yet to hit his full potential, Rudy Gobert aint no punk, and we still don’t know where Dante Exum will be as a player. If they were in the Eastern Conference, I could be talked into them making the playoffs.
ZAZA PACHULIA, DERON WILLIAMS and WESLEY MATTHEWS
The three biggest additions to the Dallas Mavericks, and they will still make the playoffs. I rest my case.
West Standings (in no particular order)
Oklahoma City (if healthy)
East standings (in no particular)
Cleveland vs. Milwaukee (Cleveland wins 4-2)
Western Conference Finals
Golden State vs. Oklahoma City (if healthy)
Oklahoma City (if healthy) vs. Cleveland (Cleveland wins 4-3)

We Went There: Goosebumps in Oakland
Right up there with the Randy Johnson perfect game (2004) and the A’s-Giants inter-league game (2006) as coolest sporting events I ever attended.
There was this:
and this at the very end:
A very special special special thing to be apart of. Best NBA fans in the league by far. If KD decides to defect to Golden State when his contract is up, I may be moving back to Oakland.

Mr. 4th Quarter
Last Saturday, while my buddy slept on his couch, I silently watched in awe; a jaw dropping stretch of basketball that evoked the ghost of Michael Jordan.
Tags: Clutch, Kevin Durant, Michael Jordan, Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs
Eating crow never tasted so good.
When I bought tickets to game 6 I knew there was a chance that it may not happen. Game 3 was a guarantee but there weren’t nearly enough good seats to choose from. I had predicted the Spurs in 6 so I knew that if there was indeed a game 6 then that would probably be the night they’d clinch. I didn’t think it would be the Thunder who would do the clinching.
There were a couple expensive lessons that I learned from this round of hoops:
1) You never know. I felt so sure about both series that I bet on both the Eastern and Western Conference Finals. I thought a Heat vs. Spurs Finals was in the making with the Spurs dispatching Miami in six. ERRR WRONG!!!!
I didn’t foresee Scotty Brooks outcoaching Popovich during this series. Now I’m not saying He made better decisions than Popovich. Pops did the best he could with what he had. I just didn’t foresee Brooks putting together a game plan and the boys sticking to it.
Somehow I never saw the Sefolosha adjustment coming, and I definitely never saw it being a pivotal turning point in the series. I didn’t think old Russ would have more assists than Tony Parker either.
As for the Celts-Heat series. I just thought the C’s were too banged up to keep up with the Heat. I gotta give credit to Doc Rivers for his great job of coaching them this series.
I didn’t give Spoelstra enough credit for being the overwhelmed coach he is. I just thought the Heat would out muscle the Celtics. After watching how badly game 2 was called, I was sure the fix was in.
I thought it was a done deal before the series even started. I wasn’t even going to bother watching it except to see the greatness of Rajon rondo. I sure as fuck wasn’t going to bother previewing the series in a blog.
As of today the C’s are sitting pretty with a 3-2 series lead, and with game 6 being in the Garden tonight, It could be a wrap. Once again, never a sure thing. I ‘d say I wouldn’t bet on it but I already did.
Which brings me to lesson number 2) Don’t bet against teams you like. I bet with my head and not my heart, and normally this is a good thing. Betting against your favorite team is just not a good idea. All it did was mix me up inside. I wanted the Thunder to win but I also didn’t want to lose 50 bucks.
It created a struggle within me and finally I just made peace with the fact that neither outcome was going to completely feel good (as is much of life isn’t it?).
I’m not a Celtics fan but I do like a lot of their players. I’ve always dug Garnett’s passion for the game, Rondo is a sick motherfucker–probably the sickest they have right now.
Pierce and Ray Allen of course are two guys I have followed for years (even open debating why the Mavs took Dirk instead of Pierce but I guess it worked out for everyone involved).
So its hard not to root for them and root against Miami. My money and heart were in two different places and that is probably not a good thing.
Expensive lesson # 3 is that the scalping game has flipped since 1999. No one buys tickets at the games anymore. The best place to scalp and be scalped is the internet. The game has changed son!
My boy tried to tell me this but I didn’t listen. I could get anyone to pay me what I had bought for my extra ticket and ended up selling it at a loss of 80 bones.
Every venue and city has different laws governing the world of scalping and it pays to know what they are. It is important to know where the buyers are and where the sellers will be.
I got taken for sure but it was 7:30 and it was raining. I wasn’t going to be spend all night trying to get rid of the ticket. The best offer I got was 120 (I made sure to ask the guy who sat next to me how much he paid. He said 150.)
In some out of the way venues like the Cynthia Mitchell Pavillion in the Woodlands, Texas, it is quite possible to walk up and get a ticket for cheap because it is out of the way.
I’ve often heard of people showing up 5 minutes before the start of an event and see scalpers giving away tickets because they weren’t nearly as easy to sell as they thought (ME).
This made me realize that the venue in OKC is a seller’s market and that I could’ve walked up and gotten my ticket for way less than I paid on the internet.
I have the feeling that I can get Finals tickets for a fairly reasonable price if I’m patient. Unfortunately I won’t be able to see them clinch in person. all the home games fall on nights that I work except game 2. So if I go (which I probably will)
that will be the one I attend.
Quick notes from being in attendance for game 6:
Can’t tell you how excited I was to see my playoff t-shirt waiting for me in my seat. I put it on before I even sat down and joined the throng of hungry fans there to see the dogfight that was about to commence.
True I had bet against my boys, but in every way I was there to support OKC. Everyone there for the game seemed to have the same attitude. They were going to bring the series to a close, and the fans were not going to let the Thunder lose.
It’s pretty cool to be part of a fan base that can actually affect a game. I grew up watching those Arco arena games where the Kings would fucking light up the scoreboard.
Those fans were loud. It was awesome to see how into it they got. Sometimes the noise would reach 120 decibels.
I wish I could have watched the game on TV to see how loud it translated for television. It was bananas inside that arena. The first half was loud in waves.
I caught myself being captivated by the flow of the Spurs offense in the first half. There they were, Tim Duncan (who I’d watched play since he was a freshman at Wake Forest), Manu Gonobili ( My homey Lou’s favorite player) and Tony Parker. Their execution the first quarter was flawless.
I couldn’t help but stare in awe as Tony Parker carved the Thunder defense up for 21 first quarter points. It was unreal. It wasn’t like I was cheering for the Spurs, but I was digging the sometimes breathtaking plays they were making. Stephen jackson was drilling every open three available.
It was crazy. Yet despite how good the Spurs looked, there still was no doubt that the Thunder were going to come back. When Durant nailed the deep three on two defenders with .4 seconds left, it was clear that the Spurs were in trouble. During halftime out in the corridors every patron had the same look, like “WE GOT THIS!”
I sent that exact text to my boy in Portland who replied ” Naw man its going back to San Antonio. You can’t give up 63 first half points and expect to win.”
I wasn’t surprised with the reply. He hadn’t the fortune of seeing as many Thunder games as I had this season. He hadn’t seen what Durant had been doing all Post-season, turning it on in the last quarter to take it from cats. There was no doubt that they’d make a run. 18 first half points was a joke. A lead that early cannot be taken seriously.
Besides, old dude was Portland what did he know? His franchise were the ones who passed up on Durant to get Oden. They were like the cats on Star Search who chose some random ass dude over Dave Chappelle.
I went to concessions and grabbed a Coca-Cola and caffeinated myself. When the second half began I made sure that not only was I into it, but that everyone in my section was as well.
I hi-fived the little kids and old folks nearby. I yelled at the top of my lungs, jumped up and down. The crowd didn’t sit the whole second half (vaguely reminiscent of Warriors fans in Oracle) and things went from loud to obnoxiously loud once the boys had trimmed the first half 18 point deficit to 10.
When we cut it to five I knew it was all over. There was no way the Spurs were going to win.
The third quarter was the best spurt of basketball throughout the game. The thunder made a run, then the Spurs made one, then the Thunder countered. There were some brilliant plays, and some athletic ones and honestly everything kind of blurred together.
I couldn’t even tell you one particular moment from the quarter. But it was an awesome sight to see and clearly I was in the right place at the right time. It was loud and it was exciting and it was euphoric. I looked up at the scoreboard and realized that KD already had put up a quiet 29 points.
Unfortunately the fourth quarter didn’t flow as well. There were too many stops and starts between officials whistles and TV timeouts.
There was a lot of dancing in the aisles during the timeouts and everyone had fun, but the officials and their questionable calls marred what should have been an outstanding ending. It was a bit unsettling how one-sided the calls were going (When I saw Joey Crawford I knew the fix was in but not FOR the Thunder).
I almost felt sorry the Spurs. Then I remembered this and the resulting suspensions (bullshit interpretation of the ‘leaving the bench” rule) that cost the Suns a chance to truly compete for the NBA Finals. So then I was like fuck ’em.
They had benefited from some calls so no reason to feel bad that Durant was getting Superstar treatment now ( a guy in the stands joked that Durant always misses 1 of 2 free throws if he got to the line because of a bad call–almost as if he felt guilty about it).
The end of the game was pretty sweet–punctuated by a Perkins dunk that send the crowd into a frenzy kinda like this one. It was all but over.
The Thunder had vanquished the Spurs. And I couldn’t think of a more worthy opponent (after the game KD said that it was the toughest win he’d ever had as an NBA player).
Being in the arena for the trophy celebration was a bit unreal. Seeing everyone in the crow in synch, cheering as one, moving as one was a sight. KD couldn’t even talk because we were shouting MVP. He stopped and just took it all in.
I was taken back to the moment when I first saw him his freshman year at Texas, warming up for a pres-season game against some small college.
There was no way I could have imagined that we’d both be in Oklahoma City celebrating (albeit differently) the success of a pro basketball team.
I started thinking of other post championship celebrations. The ones like I’d seen on the Madden video games. The time I watched jealously as Houston celebrated the Clutch City Rockets (which Scott Brooks was a member of). It was an incredible thing to be apart of.
There is a festive atmosphere that rivals collegiate sports at a Thunder game from the outlandish outfits to the fevered pitch of the crowd (I guess this makes sense because up until recently they only had college teams to root for).
And though there are some high toned people who attend, it is nowhere as bad as attending a Mavs game. Everyone seems overdressed for those things.
In the form of celebs I saw no one but radio personality/former Cowpoke Doug Gottlieb and former MLB manager Tony LaRussa. People aren’t there for a fashion show.
They come to see hoops and even those who are there for the scene have no choice but to represent. It’s a great experience and if you ever get a chance to go to an OKC game in the future, I recommend you do so (though tickets are much harder to get than when they first got here).
Of course things didn’t go perfectly. I had lost 80 bucks on my extra ticket. Before warm ups some dude tried to pick a fight with one of the people sitting next to me (he was so drunk that he passed out in his seat before the start of the 2nd quarter).
The water fountains weren’t turned on upstairs so I was hella thirsty throughout the 4th quarter.
But it was worth every dollar spent and every inconvenience I endured to be there to celebrate the team’s success. The jubilant high I felt leaving the arena was unparalleled (And I have tried many a drug and gotten many a laid).
My favorite basketball team of all time was going to the NBA finals. Now it was only a question of who we were playing next and if I was going to attend any of the games(More than likely).
I didn’t know it could feel so good to be so wrong.
Team is One!

Western Conference Finals Preview
OKC’s win over the Lakers on Monday left me feeling pretty euphoric. I remember the disappointment in 2010 when Pau Gasol’s put back on a Kobe Bryant miss did the boys in. The Lakers of course went on to win the title that year.
And of course Oklahoma City used that experience to help them get to the Western Conference Finals where they learned even more lessons about what it takes to win in the playoffs.
It felt good to see them beat Kobe and the villainous Lakers ( The Lakers are one of the four storied “Sports Dynasties that make me puke with hatred 1) Yankees 2) Lakers 3) Notre Dame and 4) The Duke Blue Devils). I respect Kobe (especially after his performance in game 5– that reverse dunk gave me chills) but Ron Artest’s crazy ass needs to be locked up in a mental facility.
Gasol would be one of my favorite players if he played on any other team. Bynum is a head case too. I wouldn’t be surprised if he and DeMarcus Cousins were related somehow.
Fuck those guys. It always feels good to see them lose. It felt REAAALLLLLLy fucking good to see them get beat by my favorite team. It felt almost as good as when the Texas Rangers beat the Yankees in the ALCS a couple years ago. As good as it felt to get caught up in the euphoria, I knew that the party was over after Monday.
Down on I-35, the Spurs loomed quite large and there is no way the Thunder can play as badly as they had against L.A. and expect to advance to the NBA Finals. These Okies here think that they know basketball because they have been following it all of 4 years. I walked into my local pub and immediately started baited homers into taking bets with me.
I had found at least 4 suckers willing to bet a substantial amount of money on the Thunder when I realized that it may be bad karma to bet against your favorite team–no matter how sure I am of the outcome.
Its been a weird playoff season and I hated the thought of paying off hundreds of dollars to people because of a fluke injury to one of the Spurs best players. Besides,I’m also really excited about what an exciting series this is going to be and I’d hate to ruin my ability to enjoy it because a few hundred bucks.
I’ve decided to keep the betting to a minimum and just enjoy the series for what will surely be some entertaining series of up and down basketball (and for all intents and purposes the NBA Finals–whoever wins this will win it all).
As much as I like my Oklahoma City Thunder, I still don’t think they are ready to win a championship yet. They played only one complete game last series, and that was game 1.
They played like shit until the very end of games 2-4 and somehow were up 3-1 going into game 5 9and probably should have swept). Kobe was the only player who showed up for the entirety of game 5. Everyone else was hit or miss on offense (though Gasol had a double double).
Now these Okie homers have been accusing me of being a Spurs fan and anti-Thunder(funny how all the fans came out of the woodwork once they started winning–back when they sucked you couldn’t find people who even knew there was NBA in Oklahoma City), but anyone who knows hoops can clearly see that the Spurs are playing on a whole other level than any other team still in the playoffs. OKC can’t fuck around like they have been doing and expect to win more than a couple wins this round.
The margin for error is EXTREMELY small against Tim Duncan and company. That being said, an injury can change the whole dynamic of the series and they still have to play the game. So without further ado, (and the for the first time ever) here’s BMICK’s breakdown of the Western Conference Finals.
First let’s start with the starting lineups:
C- Kendrick Perkins vs. Boris Diaw.
This match-up is a wash. Diaw doesn’t scare anyone on the offensive end, but having a point guard like Tony Parker will make him look better (much like his playing days with Nash in Phoenix). On the flip side of that Perkins won’t do much on the offensive end either. The Thunder will feel lucky if Perk gets double figures in boards and points.
Hopefully Perk won’t get too crazy and try to do too much. He seems to have at least 2 turnovers a game because he didn’t pass the ball soon enough on a break or he tried to take a defender off the dribble. He should never be handling the rock.
If he sticks to what he is best at ( setting screens and rebounding) he will have done his job. Diaw is a pretty decent defender and rebounder. He will more than likely come off Perkins to help out when Durant and Westbrook penetrate into the paint (which may actually open up Perkins for some easy dunks). Diaw won’t have to work too hard defending Perkins though.
PF- Serge Ibaka vs. Tim Duncan.
Old man Duncan has turned it on this playoffs, but Serge won’t make it easy on him this round. The second most vote-getter for Defensive player of the year will have his hands full. Duncan will have his hands full on the offensive end but his creativity will no doubt help.
The man can score in a number of ways and his passing is always on point–especially for a big man. Ibaka will help spread things out if his jumper continues to fall but he’ll get his points off of put backs and easy set ups from Harden, Durant and Westbrook. Duncan shouldn’t exert too much energy on the defensive end guarding Ibaka.
I almost want to call this a wash but that would be an insult to Duncan. Duncan will get his on occasion but it won’t be exactly easy. Slight Advantage Spurs. It would be a huge advantage if this were 2003, but then again the Spurs would be playing the Sonics and we wouldn’t be having this discussion. Moving right along.
SF Kevin Durant vs. Kawhi Leonard
Big advantage Thunder. Durant no doubt will feel a bit of relief at not having to deal with the brute strength of “Artest the pest” or Shawn Marion’s length this round. He should be able to just shoot over Leonard or drive right by him. Its obvious that Leonard is going to be a good player in the league but he’s going to be a bit overwhelmed here.
Durant should hit his scoring average pretty easily here and Leonard will need lots of help from his big men on D. On the other side of the court Durant won’t have to work as hard on D and may get the opportunity to roam a little and help out when Timmy D gets the ball. This match-up does not bode well for San Antonio.
SG Thabo Sefolosha vs Danny Green
I will certainly admit that I’m a pretty big Danny Green fan. Dude used to tea bag fools back in his Carolina days. He could also shoot the 3-ball. Now he has added defense to his resume and has given himself a chance to stick in the league. I’m very happy for the guy.He was my favorite player on that championship squad.
He and Thabo are actually near mirror images of each other. Green is a better shooter but Thabo is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league. Thabo can’t create his own shot and won’t score unless he gets an open three or a fast break dunk. They kind of cancel each other out. This match-up is pretty even. I don’t think either player will make much of a difference in the box-scores.
PG- Russell Westbrook vs. Tony Parker
This match-up is the one that gives me goosebumps. We might actually see more of this match-up during the Olympics. You have in Westbrook arguably the best up and coming PG. While Tony Parker is the once prodigy now grizzled veteran. Without all the paparazzi and bullshit baggage from his wife (and the sexcapades with Brent Barry’s old lady) the Frenchman can concentrate on just playing basketball.
*Quick aside, I fucking hate these French cats coming into my country and stealing up all the hot white women. It’s a little unfair. Tony Parker is already good looking, he’s a mad talented baller, and the nigga speaks French? C’mon Tony give us american bruthas a chance. I bet he Batum, and Diaw clean up whenever they meet up after games. I know how the French get down. I’ve seen Maitresse.*
Westbrook is stronger than Parker and can probably post him up any time he wants. Both point guards are lightening quick. Westbrook has a slightly better jumper with a bit more range and he is a better defender. Parker is a better distributor and takes care of the ball better. Its a close call but I’m gonna give the edge to San Antonio.
Although Westbrook has gotten better about the way he handles the ball, he can just as easily shoot the Thunder out of the game by taking too many jumpers or driving unwisely into traffic. it is still going to be an awesome matchup and probably is the best Point Guard match-up we will see in the playoffs (unless Rondo and the C’s make it out of the Eastern Conference). I’m so excited to see this one go down.
Now let’s talk about the benches of both squads.
Nick Collison, Nazr Mohammed, Derek Fisher, James Harden Daequan Cook
Dejuan Blair, Tiago Splitter, Stephen Jackson, Gary Neal, Manu Ginoboili, Matt Bonner, and sometimes Patty Mills.
This one favors San Antonio big time. Oklahoma City has some big bodies to help deal with Duncan (with Collison and Mohammed), who is the only legitimate post player for San Antonio. They don’t have anyone who can consistently create their own shot besides James Harden who can’t be guarded by anyone (I was watching him and Royal Ivey goof off during warm ups and Royal was draped all over him in the corner of the 3 point line corner and somehow Harden still swished it. After he made it he yelled “Yeah” right in Ivey’s ear–I started laughing).
Fisher can hit the spot up 3’s and so can Cook, but neither can create their own shots, and both need Harden to set them up for the wide open treys. Collison will get the occasional put back dunk and clean up on the boards and Mohammed as well, but they will only really be called upon to spell Perkins and Ibaka for rest and foul trouble.
Spurs have a really nice bench with dudes who’d be starting on lesser teams. Manu of course is the original version of James Harden (though James is stronger and faster) and will certainly get his coming off the bench. Stephen Jackson though not as quick as he once, is still long and gritty and may come off the bench once Leonard gets into foul trouble. Bro can still shoot the three and may make Durant work a little harder to get his points.
Bonner with his funny release will hit the open jumpers if you let him. Tiago Splitter is an excellent passer from the post, and Gary Neal will make you pay if you leave him open. I repeat big advantage Spurs.
Coaches- Scott Brooks vs. Gregg Popovich
Do I even need to go into this one? Pop is the best NBA coach alive not named Phil Jackson and showed his clear superiority against Vinny Del Negro during the Clippers series. His attention to detail is immense and the guy never misses a beat. A few years ago against the Hornets during a round 2 series, there was an overtime classic in a pivotal game (either game 3 or 5).
There was some kind of clock malfunction and the refs were dealing with it for a few minutes. While Byron Scott was kind of hanging out, looking ahead, and some of the New Orleans players were milling around and getting ready to restart the game, Popovich had his troops rounded up, drawing up extra plays for when the game recommenced. My thought at the time was “Damn, that’s genius. Popovich is using this as an extra time-out. ”
Now this might not like such a big deal to some people. It may even seem obvious to those who really follow the game. But my question is that if this was the obvious thing to do, then why wasn’t Byron Scott doing it?
It’s little things like that which separate Pop from the average NBA coach. The dude is the NBA equivalent to Bill Belichick (except he is much better at making draft picks).
What can I say? Scotty Brooks is a bit over matched on this one. Some of the Thunder troubles on offense I do blame on Brooks. When the team is settling for too many ill-timed jumpers instead of taking the ball to the rack, Brooks is the guy I blame for not being on top of them.
In game 5, they should have been attacking the rim with vengeance once Andrew “nutbag” Bynum picked up his fourth foul. Instead Durant, Westbrook, and Sefolosha just kept shooting jumper after jumper. I feel this is where Brooks has to remind them about what worked.
If the Thunder have these long stretches of basketball amnesia it will be a short series for them. San Antonio will run them out of AT&T, and Chesapeake Arena.
Brooks is certainly a good coach, but when it comes to X’s and O’s he’s a bit over matched in this series.
So what does OKC have to do in order to win this series?
I just said it. Attack the rim repeatedly. If Duncan is the only legit post presence, get him into foul trouble. As good as the San Antonio Bench is they don’t have anyone who can score in the post other than Duncan.
He is their offensive front line. If he is on the bench the Spurs will be relegated to jump shots. Parker and Ginobili will get theirs, for sure they can get in the paint, but those are the only guys that can create their own shots.
They cannot simply settle for jump shots, and they cannot expect to win by going 1 on 5 with isolation sets. They will need to pass the ball as well as they did during their regular season drubbing of the Bulls (one of the best and most complete games they played all year).
On defense their success will depend on how well each player can defend one on one. This current Spurs team is designed to have one post player surrounded by four spot up shooters. Any kind of double team can result in an open 3 ball for San Antonio if OKC doesn’t rotate fast enough.
Fast break points won’t be enough to get them 4 wins. It is going to take the perfect storm for them to accomplish this. Everyone is going to have to be on their A game because San Antonio will definitely be on theirs.
Oklahoma City has the horses to beat San Antonio but do they have the focus and discipline to execute a game plan for a full 48 minutes, four times in a series? Maybe they will, but judging from the last 2 rounds they look suspect.
Let’s face it, the Mavs were done the minute they let Caron “tough juice”Butler, Tyson Chandler, Stevenson, and Barea run off. The Lakers overachieved this year and sorely missed the stability of Phil Jackson during the end-game periods of last round.
San Antonio will be their toughest opponent yet and possibly the toughest test they will have all playoffs. If they win, this it will be the equivalent of the ’92 Cowboys beating the 49ers in San Francisco. It’d be a surprise but not necessarily an upset.
It’s a fascinating match- up. I think every game will be extremely close with at least two of them going into overtime. At that it will come down to clutch shooting, timely coaching, and a deep bench. I’m going with the Spurs in six games.
I hope I’m wrong. But I don’t think I am. I think OKC is still one more playoff heartbreak away from being ready for an NBA championship.
Its San Antonio’s crown to lose (barring major injury of course)

Roofe’s intelligent movement creates space for impressive Rangers to exploit
By Jordan Campbell Nov 22, 2020 10
Eyes fixed in the distance, standing deadly still in an offside position, it can often look like Kemar Roofe is disinterested. The languid style when he’s not on the ball and, when he’s in possession, the tendency to pick the simple option, even if correct, can give the impression that he is on the periphery of games.
Indeed, by the point he was taken off in the 74th minute of Rangers’ 4-0 win over Aberdeen, he had managed just 35 touches — only Borna Barisic and goalkeeper Allan McGregor had fewer.
But to use Roofe’s involvement as a measure of his impact is to overlook what makes him so effective: his efficiency.
When fans are allowed back into Ibrox and no longer have to rely on the limited view of TV cameras, they will see for themselves just how impressive his movement truly is.
He is nowhere and everywhere, static and fluid, offside but always available. At Anderlecht he would run himself into the ground chasing...

Mike Yurcich intrigued James Franklin last year, now he’s Penn State’s new OC
By Audrey Snyder Jan 8, 2021 57
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — James Franklin’s running list of offensive coordinator candidates included Mike Yurcich for at least the past two offseasons.
Now, Yurcich is part of the Penn State staff, replacing Kirk Ciarrocca as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach on Friday.
“I told him the time before when he called me about Yurcich, I told him that’s who he needed to hire and he didn’t do it,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said on Friday. “I haven’t gotten around to calling James and giving him a hard time yet because I said, ‘You just need to hire this guy. He’s from up there, he’ll be a really good coach.’ But anyway, I was just teasing him. We all gotta do what we gotta do.”
Yurcich was Gundy’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Oklahoma State from 2013-18. It was Gundy who made the surprising and unorthodox hire of Yurcich, who was the offensive...

Rich Hill suffers a blister scare as the Dodgers can’t avoid a sweep to the lowly Reds
By Fabian Ardaya May 13, 2018 2
Even before Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and soft tissue specialist Yosuke Nakajima reached the mound, Rich Hill knew. He stood, rubbing at the growing blister on the interior of his left middle finger, playing with it carefully to ensure it wouldn’t pop.
The conversation was brief — his afternoon was over, more a precautionary issue than anything else as the left-hander’s recurring blister issues once again flared up in the sixth inning of Sunday’s 5-3 loss to the Reds.
Hill’s left middle finger nail, which had cracked and sustained an infection to force him on the disabled list last month, remained intact. He said he expects to make his next start on Saturday, against the Nationals. A brief scare was avoided, for now, though the annoyance of the flare-up was evident.
“It’s just something that, unfortunately, has been popping up,” Hill said. “As frustrating as it is for everyone else, it is for me as...

Bruce Feldman’s Week 13 college football picks
By Bruce Feldman Nov 22, 2018 52
I had a dreadful 3-7 week against the spread, putting me at 60-74-1. The good: picking Washington State to blow out Arizona. The bad: picking Ohio State to blow out Maryland. The ugly: predicting Tennessee to beat Missouri. Here are this week’s guesses:
No. 18 Mississippi State at Ole Miss (+11), 7:30 p.m. ET Thursday, ESPN
Joe Moorhead has the SEC’s top defense in yards per play, which has been even better on the road than in Starkville, and this group has gotten much tougher by the month. Mississippi State has faced three ranked teams on the road this season, including ’Bama and LSU, and the Bulldogs should be able to handle this one. Mississippi State 24, Ole Miss 17
Virginia (-4.5) at Virginia Tech, 3:30 p.m. ET Friday, ABC
The Hokies are limping to the finish line, having dropped four in a row — all by double digits. Virginia’s defense, meanwhile, has been very stingy and hasn’t allowed an opponent more...

The Ducks don’t do anything easily. But they know how to survive, which matters in the moribund Pacific Division
By Eric Stephens Nov 22, 2018 5
ANAHEIM, Calif. – Eight more days are needed before Adam Henrique can celebrate a calendar year spent as a member of the Ducks, but that has been plenty of time for him to see what make them, well, them.
As in the latest defining example being how Wednesday night played out. How his team twice grabbed two-goal leads in the third period over a Vancouver club running aground with six straight losses – the last five going pointless in regulation – and then finding itself throwing every available body in front of the net at the end to keep the suddenly rudderless Canucks from tying the game. How Ryan Getzlaf scrambled to tie up Sam Gagner long enough on a faceoff for the final two seconds to tick off and escape with a 4-3 home win. How what should have been a routine, clinical victory became a messy act of survival.
But that’s just what they do.
“It’s Ducks hockey,” Henrique said, cheekily.
There were quite a few...

Mooney: Tommy La Stella traded, Terrmel Sledge getting hired and an Addison Russell decision looms
By Patrick Mooney Nov 29, 2018 18
In what looked like a final tribute to Tommy La Stella – the bench player Joe Maddon once described as someone who could wake up at 3 a.m. and hit anyone – the Cubs announced Thursday’s trade with the Los Angeles Angels at 3 p.m.
Tommy Being Tommy meant escalating a prank war with Cubs executives Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer in spring training when he arranged for a kiddie bounce house to be set up on their parking spots at the team’s Arizona complex.
Tommy Being Tommy involved a stunning transformation into one of the most popular guys in the clubhouse, making amends for his New Jersey sabbatical while initially refusing to report to Triple-A Iowa during the 2016 dream season.
Tommy Being Tommy generated 24 pinch-hits in 2018, setting a new single-season franchise record.

The Ball is Round
Been there, seen the game, bought the slippers

Northern lads love gravy
17Jan 2010 3 Feb 2010
”Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to Stuart, Happy Birthday to me..” Ten days ago I turned 40 and CMF vowed 40 days and nights of celebration. Unfortunately our inability in this country to cope with any snow meant a number of events had to be cancelled. However, the snow wasn’t going to spoil a weekend away, sans children avec Northern Steve and CMFS. Northern Steve had turned 40 a few days before me so it was the sisters who set the agenda and booked Centerparcs in Sherwood Forest. Shamed into returning a favour, Steve and I set aside some beer money and paid for them to go to the Spa for a few hours, giving us a perfect opportunity for a cheeky football trip. Our first option was Retford United v Boston United but that fell foul of the weather on Friday, so I consulted the TBIR crystal ball and out popped Hucknall Town, which apparently was close by, but where exactly?
17 miles due south westish actually, sitting just inside the M1 north of Nottingham. Initially I was put off as I have a deep loathing of Simply Red, and that ginger haired Manc Twat who has ruined so many good songs over the years (Money’s too tight to mention, Holding back the years, Fairground, etc) and the fact that he hogs all the glory himself whilst the rest of the ground twiddle their thumbs. You may remember me introducing you to the laminated list concept a few years ago. Well on the reverse side is a list of 5 people that if you meet them you should be able to slap without any reproach of legal or criminal action. Mr Hucknall is number one on my list. But what has that got to do with Hucknall Town? Absolutely nothing apart from whenever I mentioned it to anyone on Facebook or Twitter I received answers such as “Where’s Mick?”, “Is it a Fair sized Ground”, and “I bet you were “Holding up the beers”.
Apart from a slight Google Maps detour down a road that didn’t exist the journey was not problematic at all. There was no snow left in this part of the East Midlands, and after paying our £1 to park, and £8 to enter via a clever portakabin-cum-turnstile, who should be bump straight into – not only Dave Gamble, who was not unfortunately off to put a bet on, but into the board room, which was another portakabin but with Sky Sports. Hucknall Town were formed as Hucknall Colliery Welfare in 1945, and played under this moniker until 1987 when young children started to question what a coal mine or a colliery was. This area was once world known for its coal mines but today there is little evidence of any subterranean activity apart from the mole hills that littered the car park.
They had stints in the Midlands Leagues before reaching the Northern (now Unibond) Premier League in 1999, and five years later they won the league. Unfortunately their Watnall Road ground did not meet the new Conference National guidelines so they had to move into the newly founded Conference North. In 2005 came their greatest moment when after beating the likes of Southport, Northwich Victoria, Hereford United and finally Bishops Stortford they reached the final of the FA Trophy against Grays Athletic at Villa Park. Thousands travelled down the M1 and M42 for the game and despite holding the Conference side for 120 minutes at 1-1, Hucknall lost 6-5 on penalties. The last few years have been a bit of a struggle as they finished in the relegation zone in 2008, only to be saved by the demise of Halifax Town, but could not escape relegation last season.
So for the first time in their history they were relegated and dropped back into the Unibond Premier League to face the likes of Bradford Park Avenue, FC United of Manchester, Boston United and local rivals Retford United. This season has been a mixed bag for them. Great wins such as the 2-1 victory away at league leaders Retford have been tempered with home defeats to FC United and North Ferriby United. The league did initially start off as a 21 team league but Kings Lynn’s demise before Christmas has reduced it to 20, although with Durham City still hanging on by their fingernails it may reduce to 19 before too long (Durham have now Played 20 Lost 20 – see post here about their plight).
So we had a wander around the ground some fifteen minutes prior to kick off and counted 23 other fans, most of whom seemed die hard Hucknall supporters complete with flat caps (but no whippets in sight). The ground is basic but certainly has some unique features. A covered stand runs the length of the pitch with 5 rows of seats, and at one end a space has been cleared for terracing (where the home fans congregated during the first half). Behind one goal is a covered shallow terrace, and then at the opposite end is an open terrace of three rows. And then you have the other side of the ground. Here you had a series of connected portakabins, including one on top of the other and a ladder up which must have been the executive box – it certainly offered the best view of the house. There is no terracing or seats on this side, just a wide path – somewhat lacking in something.
Right on queue of the teams entering the arena, the home fans piled out of the bar in the corner of the ground, and it was game on!
Hucknall Town 5 Burscough 2 – Watnall Road – Saturday 16th January 2010
Our opponents for the day were Burscough. You could ask the same “Where is?” question to the visitors (and Northern Steve did) but being an expert at this level I knew – somewhere in Scouseland….well north of Liverpool but south of Blackpool to be precise. Did you know that it is illegal for a woman to be topless unless she works in a tropical fish store? Apparently it is so does that mean that lapdancing or “gentlemens” bars are outlawed? Anyway I digress….Burscough themselves had had their day in the sun when they beat Tamworth in the FA Trophy final at Villa Park in 2003. So we took our place on the open terrace, the referee blew his whistle, I took a sip of tea and it was 1-0 to the home team. From kick off the ball found its way back to the keeper who hoofed it long, the ball was flicked on and expertly drilled into the net by Tyeisse Nightingale (for some reason called TJ). Queue ridiculous dance routine to no one in particular in the corner.
It seemed obvious that neither team actually liked each other based on the “competitive” tackling going on. The 171 fans present winced on more than one occasion, and it was in the 7th minute when the first casualty, Matty Parry, had to depart (along with a yellow card) when Burscough’s full back was crunched. The First Aid team ran on and tried to assemble a stretcher that they obviously got for Christmas and had not read the instruction manual.
We took our place next to the away dugout and listened to the dulcit Scouse tones from the visitors bench. They were keen on “squeezing” which didn’t seem to mean anything, and they were in the linesman’s face as soon as any tackle went in. They weren’t happy with one particular challenge that went unpunished – “Linesman, your mate (the referee I assume) is as bent as Dale Winton” was the pick of the remarks. Apparently there is a rule that says only 1 person from the bench can stand in the technical area at a time. Burscough’s coach stood leaning against the dugout, and was told every minute or so by the linesman to sit down – “Calm down son” was the standard response. Of course at this level there is no Fourth Official to police the area.
Forty five minutes were up so we started wandering down to the bar for a well earnt pint. As we walked behind the dugout there was a muted cheer and it appeared we had missed Burscough’s equaliser. So I cannot tell you a think about that one. But I can tell you that Talk of the Town, Hucknall’s well appointed bar, is in fact Hucknall’s premier night spot. The bar could have been used as a double Sir Steve Redgrave suite in Phoenix Nights, but it served our purpose well. Pint of Strongbow for Northern Steve and a pint of Mild for me – in fact my first ever pint of Mild. And it went down a treat. So much so we delayed our re-entrance until the 47th minute. And what did we find? 2-2…2 bloody 2. Two goals in the first minute of the second half. One of the Hucknall fans told us that Adrian Hawes had put Hucknall ahead and then “some bloke equalised for your lot from kick off”…Good to see us blend in then!
Northern Steve has started a campaign which he has written to his MP about which will force football clubs to serve “Chips with Gravy” at all grounds. He believes it should be part of the Football Licensing Authority’s ground grading criteria. We had already seen that Hucknall did chips , as well as “Extras” which included Gravy. We had already warned our respective CMF’s (and CMN in Northern Steve’s case) that on no account they should ask for Extras at the Spa as it could lead to offence and possible ejection (rather than ejaculation fnaar, fnaar). But what they don’t know can’t hurt them…So we indulged, although we were disappointed to hear that there were no pies as “That lazy bugger thought the game would be off, and couldn’t be arsed to get out of bed early enough to get them out of the freezer”..not quite sure who they were talking about but I assume he was in for a kicking later. Chips with gravy yes…..overcooked french fries with gravy – a big no. The outer coating of the chips had formed a solid barrier which the gravy could not penetrate leading to some flicking accidents.
As we were trying to make sense of this chips and gravy dilemma, Hucknall only went and scored again. Two out of five ain’t bad Meat Loaf nearly sang after Antwon Bonnick scored. Talk about strange names of goal scorers – all it needed was for Reubens Wiggins-Thomas to score to complete the set and the lad obliged a few minutes later, slotting home from close range. I cannot see this lad making it in the Premier League with a name like that – the cost of getting his name printed on your back would be more expensive than the shirt itself!
So with the clock running down we wandered around the ground to near the exits ready for the final whistle rush. The Hucknall faithful were still keeping up their noise behind the goal and the two away fans that we saw earlier had long since departed. There was still time for a fifth as TJ Nightingale ended a fine move to score a seventh goal which matched the yellow cards issued.
A great afternoon, which on reflection had little in the way of goalmouth action surprisingly but it just went to show how much we had missed football. The girls had had a nice time too and were already tucking into a beer or two watching the football in the bar when we got back. All we needed for a perfect night out was for them to suggest an Indian, which they duly did…and that is why we all love northern woman…
About Watnall Road
Watnall Road is a typical non-league ground. Homely, with some old fashion charm that is lost in the Football Leagues. It has a capacity of around 3,000 with a seated capacity of 250 located along the side of the pitch in a shallow stand that has some terracing at one end. There is terracing behind each goal, with a covered stand at the south end and an open terrace of three wide steps at the far end. In the north west corner is the refreshment van which serves all the delights that you would expect.
At the south end of the ground you will also find the bar, which doubles up as the night spot – Talk of the Town, which is open to all fans before, during and after the game. The east side of the ground is neither a stand or a terrace but rather a wide walkway. Here you will find the club shop and first aid room in one of the portakabins and a strange double decker structure that appears to be the control room.
The ground is graded for Step 2 of the pyramid – which is currently Conference North but not for anything higher although it may be some time before the ground is ready for that next stage anyway.
How to get to Watnall Road
The ground is located to the west of Hucknall town centre and is easily reached from Nottingham. There is a regular tram that runs from Nottingham Midland station to Hucknall taking 35 minutes, or you can get the 15 minute train instead. Trent Buses run from Hucknall station to the ground. By car you need to head for the A611 which runs from Mansfield to M1 junction 27. The ground is next to the roundabout with Watnall Road. Parking is plentiful and costs £1.
Getting a ticket for Watnall Road
There is plenty of room for 99.999% of games here and so pay on the gate for all games. £8 for Adults and £3 for children.

Michael Bay Set to Blow Up Your Childhood With ‘Dora the Explorer’ Movie
By Jeremy Lambert October 24, 2017
There’s a Dora The Explorer movie in the works. Nothing wrong with that. She’s a loveable little character that also helps young children learn some Spanish. She also wears a backpack, which is super stylish. I don’t know how she hasn’t explored everything just yet seeing as the show was on-air for 14-years, but she likes to take her time and take everything in. You know, good for her.
Michael Bay will produce the Dora The Explorer movie.
It will be a live-action movie, which is code for, “Michael Bay is going to blow a bunch of s**t up.”
The movie will follow a teenage Dora (because Michael Bay can’t oversexualize a 7-year-old), who moves to the city to live with her cousin, Diego. The city will then be attacked by robots and only Dora and Boots can save the city. Alright, the first part of that plot is true. The robots part isn’t. Yet.
Let’s see how Twitter is taking this news.
Can't believe I live in an age where Michael Bay and live action Dora the Explorer are in the same sentence

— Mark Ellis (@markellislive) October 23, 2017
So, pretty much how I expected Twitter to react.
Who is this movie even for? Dora appealed to kids because it was a semi-interactive cartoon. It’s no longer a cartoon and, unless Dora is going to look at the audience for five seconds before running away from the explosion, it’s no longer semi-interactive. It’s not even appealing to kids if Dora is now a teenager.
This movie is for no one. Michael Bay just wants to blow up Spanish-speaking people.

R. Kelly is Fighting For His Fucking Life, Right to Have Threesomes in Prison
By James Sainte-Claire October 1, 2019
Being in prison kind of sucks. I mean, not even by design, it’s become an industry built around human suffering designed to put people into prisons with terrible conditions so the big corporations who run them can make money.
But the thing that R. Kelly is complaining about is the lack of threesomes. In fact, his lawyer argues he should be let out on bail because he is having very few threesomes while in prison, according to CNN.
“His visits are severely restricted; presently, he is only allowed one unrelated person to visit. In other words, although he lives and has lived with two lady friends, only one of them is allowed to be on his visiting list, and after 90 days he is required to switch,” Greenberg says in the motion. “No other friends or professional colleagues are allowed to visit. That is not right.”
Okay, so it’s a little worse than just no threesomes. That is a pretty messed up visitation rule though. What is even the point other than being mean? But I do like that “he has lived with two lady friends” is in a legal document.
Kelly’s lawyer also argues that Kelly doesn’t present a flight risk or a risk to victims if set free, which… last time he got out of jail he immediately headed over to the McDonalds he picks up teenagers at. It’s just not helping his case.

Travellers say it’s time to stop using them as clickbait
By Hannah Vickers on 1st November, 2018
DISCRIMINATION AND INEQUALITIES | EDITION 17 | MOVING ON: BRISTOL'S GYPSY, ROMA AND TRAVELLER COMMUNITIES: inequality, race and racism, traveller
In an industry where sensationalism sells and conflict gets clicks, you’ll shift more papers if a Gypsy did it. Campaigners say the demonisation of Gypsies, Roma and Travellers in the media has to stop.
“There are some bastions of absolutely crap, horrible, racist reporting out there among the national press”
Four years ago John Knott, a retired businessman living in a Herefordshire village, killed his wife, Anne, and then himself. As well as struggling with his wife’s worsening Alzheimer’s, he’d been fighting planning permission for three caravans in the field next to their £500,000 home.
The headlines laid the blame for the murder-suicide firmly at the door of 20-year-old Zoe Lee, the Romany Gypsy who’d dared to apply for planning permission: ‘Husband killed wife after Gypsy camp battle’, ‘Stress of battle against Travellers’ camp ends in tragic pensioner double suicide’ and ‘Gypsy camp stress ‘drove couple to suicide pact’ were some of the choicest. Every story needs a good villain, and what started as a tragedy then became a witch-hunt.
Mike Doherty, editor of the Travellers Times, a media platform for stories by and about Gypsies, Roma and Travellers (GRT), says this kind of misrepresentative, exaggerated coverage is typical.
“It’s starting to change for the better, but there are some bastions of absolutely crap, horrible, racist reporting out there among the national press,” he says.
The ‘last acceptable racism’ is fuelled by media demonisation
Romany Gypsies are the largest ethnic minority in Europe, while Irish Travellers were recognised as a distinct group in 2000. Both are protected by the 2010 Equalities Act. Despite this, GRT people remain some of the continent’s most targeted and socially deprived individuals, facing daily prejudice and racism that can be exacerbated by inaccurate and disproportionate media coverage. Even if stories are balanced – and some are – headlines alone can sow discontent, especially in the social media age when attention spans are limited.

Putting the word “Gypsy” or “Traveller” (usually in lowercase) in a headline is a surefire way of getting more clicks. Trudy Aspinwall, team manager at the GRT advocacy project Travelling Ahead, says Gypsies and Travellers are often seen as fair game. “There’s a deep-seated prejudice that still exists in society in relation to Gypsies and Travellers, and the press just reflects that and feeds it,” she says.
Illustration: Louise Allen
Aspinwall has stood on roadsides with families while people have driven past and yelled insults. She says the TV show My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding led to a notable rise in bullying when it first aired. “They would hear those views reflected back at them at school, at youth clubs and in the street.”
Travellers are sick of getting blamed for the actions of a small minority, Doherty says. Only 16% of the 300,000 Roma and Travellers in the UK are on unauthorised encampments. “The rest are on either sites that they own – private sites with planning permission, paying taxes – or they’re on public sites paying rent to the council.
“But when you open a local newspaper and there are Gypsies and Travellers in it, it’ll be to do with the tensions and conflicts around unauthorised camps.”
GRT discrimination in numbers
Findings from the Traveller Movement’s ‘last acceptable racism’ report*
Here are some discoveries from an online survey of 214 GRT people aged 18+ across Britain. It was one of the largest surveys conducted among the UK’s GRT communities.
91% experienced discrimination because of their ethnicity
70% experienced discrimination in some aspect of education
49% experienced discrimination in some aspect of employment
30% experienced discrimination in relation to accessing healthcare
55% had been refused services because of their ethnicity
77% experienced hate speech or a hate crime
76% had hidden their ethnicity to avoid discrimination or prejudice
77% had not sought legal help after experiencing discrimination
*Stats reproduced, with permission, from The last acceptable form of racism? The pervasive discrimination and prejudice experienced by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities.
Media coverage “merely reflecting public opinion”
John Goulandris, Conservative councillor for Stoke Bishop, says that the media focus on Travellers and illegal camps is just reflecting wider opinion. “The papers vary in style – some do perhaps have a habit of sensationalising – but if there wasn’t that minority breaking the law I don’t think the media could whip it up the way they do,” he says.
“People are getting fed up with all these illegal Traveller incursions on public open space, in particular Horfield Common, Blaise Castle estate and the Downs.”
In September, Goulandris brought a motion to a Bristol City Council meeting requesting that it apply for a high court injunction to evict unauthorised encampments more quickly. He says evictions take too long, cost too much and leave too much mess. He wanted Bristol mayor Marvin Rees to join a Conservative campaign to “tweak the law” and make unauthorised encampments a criminal rather than civil offence. After a furious response from the other parties, Goulandris lost the motion.
Currently, unless an unauthorised encampment poses an immediate danger, local authorities can’t evict immediately as they have to balance duties to the public with welfare needs of the Travellers.
There is a chronic shortage of socially rented pitches UK-wide. Bristol has two designated Traveller sites: one in Ashton Vale, which has 12 pitches, and another in Lawrence Weston with 20. Demand far outstrips the spaces available. And with only 4% of planning applications by Travellers meeting with success, the number of GRT families with nowhere to live is on the rise.
No consequences for inciting hatred
This lack of pitches feeds a running commentary in Bristol Live (aka the Bristol Post) and other local media outlets, in which Traveller movements are reported in virtual real-time and encampments are treated as dangerous weather fronts.
High-profile figures, meanwhile, have the freedom to say what they like in the press without fear of repercussion. Last December, Bristol Live published remarks by two Stockwood Conservative councillors that “the settled community [is] basically fed up with subsidising a minority alternative lifestyle”. The year before, Bristol 24/7 ran an op-ed by another Conservative councillor with the uncompromising headline: “Time to be tougher on Travellers”. The publications themselves face no consequences for fanning the flames of mistrust and division.
Aspinwall says that a lot of people just don’t have the resources to stand up to big newspapers and challenge libellous claims or racist language. “Most people, who are just trying to go about their daily lives – regardless of what community they’re from – don’t have the resources or the tenacity to keep going with that kind of thing. Or the knowledge. And I think the press knows that.”
Standing up to the papers
A group in Dorset has had enough of the misrepresentative coverage of GRT people in their area. Betty Smith-Billington, a Romany Gypsy, set up the Dorset Inter-Agency Concern for Travellers (DIACT) campaign group in 2015 because she was fed up of the exaggerated stories in her local papers.
“The thing is, there are some bad incidents,” she says. “We can’t say that 100% of every Traveller and Gypsy is 100% true – there are good and bad in all – but we didn’t want so much bad reporting when we didn’t deserve it.”
Thanks to their efforts, local publications have toned down their coverage of unauthorised encampments and now fact-check more closely, approach GRT people for interviews when writing about them and – importantly – moderate their online comments. “It does work,” says Smith-Billington. “If you lobby then it does work.”
So how should the press report on issues involving GRT? Like you would with any other group, says Doherty: report on the individuals concerned without labelling them as one homogenous collective. The Travellers Times has a press guide to help journalists write responsibility about Gypsies, Roma and Travellers, but he says that just sticking to the Editors’ Code of Practice would be a good start.
“The main thing I would say to editors is: do you really need to put someone’s ethnicity into a story?”
Doherty doesn’t have much hope of things changing any time soon. “Unfortunately, Gypsies and Travellers doing bad things has more news value than the wider population doing the same bad things, and that’s just not fair.”

Why the Lions will need more time to be good
Mac Boike, Sports ReporterDecember 14, 2020Leave a Comment
More stories from Mac Boike
Week 14 Fantasy Football
Why the College Football Playoff committee should change to a 16-team format
Why it’s time to axe the Jim Harbaugh Football era
In more recent news, the Detroit Lions have decided that it is finally time to part ways with franchise burdens Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn. On November 28th, just 2 days after Thanksgiving, the Lions thanked the two for their service and said get out.
The Lions hired Patricia in 2018 after he served as a long time defensive coordinator for the franchise of the last decade, New England Patriots. Patrica ran a defense that blended well under the rule of Bill Belichick. These two coaches managed to win 3 Super bowls as a coaching duo with the help of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski. Patricia’s win percentage with the Lions is the reason he was ousted from Ford Field. His win percentage was .314 as his overall record was just 13-29-1. The coach before him, Jim Caldwell, had a winning record of 36-28.
As for the case of Bob Quinn, he had also spent time with the Patriots but as the pro scout. Before he was the pro scout he had spent time as a scouting assistant covering different regions of college football. In 2016, the Lions respected what Quinn had done with the Patriots, liking some of the players that he had drafted. Well, that drafting skill did not cross over, especially earlier in the draft. Some of his picks towards the middle of the draft like Kenny Golladay and Graham Glasgow turned out to be valuable picks for the Lions, whereas other picks like Jarrad Davis, Jahlani Tavi, and Teez Tabor turned out to be major busts. A pick like T.J. Hockenson at 8 and D’Andre Swift at 35 were questionable as there were many different needs that the Lions required and could have filled with better players.
There are several reasons why the Lions are in a spot where they may need a lot of time before they will be contending for the Playoffs on a consistent basis. Having too many holes in the roster and front office, key players having expiring contracts and not certain longevity with the Lions, and the questionable management of the Fords are all the main reasons why the Lions are put in a harder position as of right now.
The biggest hole to fill is at head coach and general manager.
The Lions need a head coach who can make an offensive system that will make Matthew Stafford into the MVP that he could be one day.
The Lions have never hired someone who could ever put him a spot like Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Russel Wilson. Fortunately, these three quarterbacks all found or had a head coach that would put them in the MVP race. The Lions could target Lincoln Riley out of Oklahoma, as he has produced 2 Heisman winning quarterbacks in Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray. Riley has put Oklahoma in the College Football Playoffs almost every year he has been as the head coach.
A hire that many Lions fans may not consider but should be is Mississippi State head coach Mike Leach. Leach perfected an offensive system called the Air Raid at Washington State University. He had quarterbacks Anthony Gordon and Gardner Minshew lead the NCAA in passing yards during their times with the Cougars. Stafford already has plenty of receivers like Kenny Galloday, Marvin Jones Jr., and Danny Amendola. Hockenson is also looking like a promising tight end, but is underused at times. His first year showed how much of a star he can be but he still finished with only 32 receptions. He is getting more this year, but if Leach were to come in, he would clearly see how much of a superstar he is and would plan an offense that would equally distribute the ball to Hockenson, Golladay, and Jones.
A good fitting general manager is harder to find than a head coach. Just because someone makes good signings and trades with one team does not mean that it is going to translate over to the other. Same with drafting players as that was shown with Bob Quinn. The Lions are going to want to hire someone that has good negotiating skills and the ability to build the team’s future sooner rather than later.
Drafting Hockenson was not a terrible choice, but many other players could have been drafted and played bigger roles early. A linebacker like Devin Bush or a defensive end like Brian Burns were both still on the board and would be Defensive X-Factors that the Lions truly need.
A similar situation came with the acquisition of D’Andre Swift. The Lions had let go of Bo Scarbrough, which was a questionable role as he had produced well for the Lions in 2019. The Lions backfield already had a bright spot in Kerryon Johnson and did not need a new number as the running back position. The defensive backs was a spot that needed some fine-tuning in the off-seasons and the Lions could have done so with this draft. Safeties Grant Delpit, Antione Winfield Jr, and Jeremey Chinn were all still available while the cornerback spot also had Kristian Fulton, Jaylon Johnson, and Trevon Diggs.
The wide receiving core is one of the best in the league. The problem is that all of them have contracts that are expiring after the season. Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola are over the age of thirty, and the only person the Lions should bring back out of the two is Jones. Jones will need a bigger contract, but he and Golladay are the best two pass catchers on this team. Golladay will most likely be franchise tagged unless he signs an extension. This would be a good year to address the wideout spot as the upcoming free-agent class, and the draft class has perfect replacement candidates. Curtis Samuel, Allen Robinson, Chris Godwin, Will Fuller, Juju Smith-Schuster, and A.J Green are all hitting the market and that’s just the list of the best available wideouts. The free-agent class is deep, and the Lions could sign multiple receivers to fill the spot of one. As for the draft class, Ja’Marr Chase, DeVonta Smith, and Rondale Moore show signs of great speed and athleticism that prove they can be first-round picks.
Edge rushers Von Miller, Bud Dupree, Matthew Judon, and Shaquil Barret all hit the market this spring. These 4 will be offered a max deal from almost all of their teams, but the Steelers do not have a lot of Cap Space, and Dupree may walk if he doesn’t like the offer he gets. Von Miller is not getting any younger, and the Lions could offer him a high risk, high reward deal so that they can be contenders. Yannick Ngakoue is also getting the restraints taken off his back as he can find a new team if chooses to leave the Ravens. The Ravens may choose Judon over Ngakoue so he might want to find a team who can offer him good money.
The last position group the Lions will likely work on is the defensive backs. Safety Justin Simmons can leave the Broncos if he chooses, and the Lions should keep an eye on him at all times as he would complete a group that needs a lot of work. Patrick Peterson is older but still one of the better corners in the game. He would fit as a great mentor to Jeffery Okudah and may take a lower-paying deal if he likes what he has to see in the team. If the Lions want a few players they could bring in for low money, Jason McCourty, Brian Poole, and Daniel Sorensen are all veterans who could fit nicely into the new age Lions. Bringing back Duron Harmon would also be a wise choice for the Lions.
The Fords are one of the wealthiest families in America, and they have done a tremendous amount of charity work for the city of Detroit. The only thing they haven’t been able to do is to bring a Super Bowl home.
Martha Ford stepped down at the age of 90 as the chairman of the Lions and let her daughter, Sheila Ford Hamp take over. The Fords are memorable for making bad hires and are unable in building a franchise around great players in their primes.
Barry Sanders is one of the best running backs of all time. Without a doubt, he would be a number with no question if he had only won a Super Bowl. How could the Fords not build a team that could at least make it to the Super Bowl with him? That is like having Lebron James and not winning an NBA Championship.
The time is now with Matthew Stafford. You have to bring back his top 2 wideouts this year if they want to bring a Super Bowl to Detroit. He’s already over 30, and after the 2021 season, Stafford becomes a free agent. If the wideouts choose to leave and the Lions do not bring in suitable replacements for Stafford, he will probably leave following the conclusion of the 2021 year.
The Fords also have to rewrite the wrongs they did when they brought in Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn. These hirings could make or break the franchise because the Lions need help now and are losing more and more fans’ faith every year. The timetable for the Fords will be short if they continue to run the franchise into the ground and the power to change the outcome of the Lions future is all in their hands.

Will Covid mark the end of national sovereignty in Europe?
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron, seen present live via video, announced they intend to launch a joint European Union recovery initiative worth €500 billion. Credit: Andreas Gora – Getty Images
Can the European Union save itself? Yesterday, the FT published a chart that sums up the whole existential crisis. It shows all state aid approved by the EU during the Covid pandemic. Remarkably, just one country accounts for half of it: Germany.
Despite its comparatively light exposure to the virus, the strongest economy in the Union is getting the most help.
Most of this is self-funded, but there are obvious consequences for European solidarity. What makes the situation all the more intolerable is that the constraints of Eurozone membership prevent the weaker economies from helping themselves. There are limits on what they can borrow; they can’t make their own decisions on monetary measures like quantitative easing; and they can’t export their way to recovery through currency devaluation. Even the safety valve of sending their unemployed to find jobs elsewhere in Europe is subject to the effects and after-effects of lockdown.
The single currency was already sucking the life out of the Italian and other economies, but Covid has accelerated the process. Some sort of EU-wide rescue fund is desperately needed, but how to raise the money?
Eurobonds — i.e. debt raised by the European Central Bank and shared by the Eurozone members — was the big idea, but the Germans squashed it.
There is an alternative, however: Get the European Commission to borrow hundreds of billions of euros and dish it out. According to the FT’s correspondents, Ursula von der Leyen, the Commission president, was leading the charge. Except now Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron have stepped in to make the idea their own. Their proposal is for a €500 billion recovery fund, borrowed from the money markets and eventually repaid from the EU budget.
The European Commission, which oversees the budget would become a major borrower and a deficit spender — which is hugely significant, because that is how a real government operates as opposed to a quango limited to funds granted it by others.
Governments are only able to borrow vast amounts at affordable rates because they have the ability to service and repay their debts. The Merkel-Macron plan entails the European Commission acquiring that ability.
But how? Well, it could reduce spending on its normal budget priorities (farm subsidies, structural funds etc), but net recipient nations wouldn’t like that. Or it could demand a bigger budget, but net contributor nations would object. Alternatively, it could raise its own revenues through EU-wide taxes, but that’s another giant leap towards fiscal integration. The last resort would be getting the European Central Bank to basically print money on its behalf, but that’s illegal under EU treaties.
One way or another, a Rubicon will have to be crossed.
Given the depth of the current crisis and the size of the Italian and other distressed economies, €500 billion is unlikely to be enough. It is, enough, however, to turn the European Commission into a de facto EU government.
A problem caused by the single currency is thus eroding the sovereignty of EU nations whether or not they’re members of the Eurozone.

I know the German government has bailed out Lufthansa and the French and to some extent the Dutch likewise with Air France-KLM, but the amounts of state aid quoted by the FT were incredible, if true.

Review: Laird of the Black Isle by Paula Quinn
This Highlander will risk everything to find his daughter…
Lachlan MacKenzie has nothing left to lose since his wife and daughter were killed. But when a shadowy figure reveals his little girl might still be alive, Lachlan will do whatever it takes to find her—even abduct a lass from the MacGregor clan for an exchange. Being caught would mean certain death. But the laird of the Black Isle won’t let anything—or anyone—interfere with his mission…not even his beautiful, stubborn captive.
Even his heart
All Mailie MacGregor wants is to return home to her family. And the Highland beast who captured her can go to the devil. Her plan: to thwart him at any cost and win her freedom. But she never expected to be so drawn to the fierce warrior and the desire in his eyes.
Laird of the Black Isle by Paula Quinn is a romance that pulled at my heart stings. A warrior who lost his family while away from home, lives in isolation. Until a messenger comes, bearing news that his boss has word of his daughter’s life. Lachlan diminished the news but his heart couldn’t ignore the possiblity that his daughter may still be alive. All he has to do, is kidnap a MacGregor clan woman and give her to a monster. Yet, even that plan has flaws…
Lachlan is a tough man who has had to endure many demons. While on a journey, his wife and Home were burned to the ground. His daughter was thought to be dead as well. Lachlan distanced himself from others but his heart of gold never stopped him. He helped feed his clan and still did whatever he could for them. No matter the distance he put between him and his clan, Lachlan still earned respect from everyone. A grizzly bear with a good heart. A heavy heart full of woe. Until her kidnapped her…a woman who got under his skin and into his heart…
Mailie MacGregor is a strong woman from a fierce warrior clan. They hover around her like guards all day and night. When they all least expect it, a stranger kidnaps her. Taking her away from everyone only to soon hand her over to the very man she fears. But Mailie is more potent than either she nor Lachlan deem she is. Her presence causes chaos for the fearless warrior. She ends up defeating the walls he has built to protect himself. Mailie is his light…in his dark world. But then, there’s her heart falling to him when she would hate him…
Laird of the Black Isle is funny, charming, and full of action. Themes of family, faith, and second chances are seen here. The pages enchanted me from the beginning. Two heroes who have tugged and pulled at my heart. Until, I have fallen in love with their story. Danger, intrigue, and happy endings are inside this novel. Overall, I highly recommend this Highland romance to all.

Located in The Cromwell Las Vegas (formerly Barbary Coast and Bill's Gamblin' Hall and Saloon[1]) - a luxury boutique hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. It is owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment Corporation.
If you want a true nightclub experience that still speaks to the boutique mentality of the too-cool-for-everything millennium, try Drai's Nightclub. Then go to Drai's Afterhours. The contrast makes them both cooler. In 1997, Victor Drai opened Drai’s restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip.[14] Two years later, Drai added a nightclub to the restaurant, re-branding it Drai’s After Hours.[15] In Vegas Seven's 2012 Nightclub Awards, Drai's After Hours won "Best Place to Disappear".[16][17] It is still located in the Cromwell Hotel and opens after Drai's Beach Club Nightclub closes.

Tennessee Elections
Cheatham Schools to reopen next week with mix of traditional, hybrid learning
Katie Nixon | Nashville Tennessean
Cheatham County elementary schools and Riverside Academy will return to a traditional learning schedule next week while middle and high schools will operate under a hybrid schedule after district officials began the spring semester on an all-virtual schedule.
Elementary students will attend school in-person Monday through Friday under the traditional schedule, and Life Skills students will return to school five days a week, beginning Tuesday, the district announced Wednesday.
Students who elected to remain under the all-virtual learning schedule for the second semester will remain virtual.
“We continue to closely watch the active number of COVID-19 cases, both in Cheatham County and in the Cheatham County School District, as we make decisions that are in the best interest of our students and employees,” Cheatham County Director of Schools Cathy Beck said in the Wednesday statement from the district.
For middle and high school students, the hybrid schedule will go by last name.
Students whose last names begin with A-K will attend school in-person on Mondays and Tuesdays and receive virtual instruction Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, according to Beck. Students whose last names begin with L-Z will attend school in-person on Thursdays and Fridays and receive virtual instruction Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, she said.
Several exceptions to the hybrid and all-virtual learning schedules will be implemented beginning Tuesday for middle and high schools students failing classes.
Any middle school student failing two or more classes must attend school in-person four days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday) and high school seniors failing one class required for graduation are expected to attend school in-person five days a week, according to Beck.
Freshmen, sophomores and juniors failing two or more classes required for graduation must attend school in-person five days a week.
District officials hope to transition back to the traditional learning schedule for the county’s middle schools by Monday, Feb. 1 and mid-February for high schools.
“However, as we have previously stated, that decision will be contingent upon the number of active COVID-19 cases in both our district and county,” Beck said. “I think we all agree that in-person learning is best for our children and that is our ultimate goal.”
The district also reports the student daycare program will resume operations on Monday, Jan. 18 and athletic games, practices and extra-curricular activities will resume on Tuesday, Jan. 19.
However, the district will continue to follow any government executive orders and Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA) guidelines regarding spectator attendance, according to Beck.
Middle and high school students will have one meal distribution per week on Wednesdays while under the hybrid schedule. Pickup times and locations will be communicated to families by their individual schools.
District officials are reminding families that meals are free this year to all children, ages 0-18, and schools will be closed Monday, Jan. 18 for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
“Please continue to let your school nurses know if there is a positive COVID-19 case or exposure in your household. This will help us to ensure the safety of all our students and employees,” Beck said.
“As always, please continue to follow the guidance of our local, state and national public health officials and medical experts to keep your family, friends and neighbors healthy by reducing the spread of COVID-19.”

Media curation in the digital age
Let’s be honest, the number of folks who still read their favourite broadsheet over a morning coffee and croissant is dwindling. Most of us these days engage with our financial news on some sort of touchscreen device, with the content often suggested to us by applications and online news feeds.
That’s right. The tech revolution has caused a watershed shift in the way media is delivered and how we consume it. Rather than editorial teams setting the day’s agenda, it is algorithms. And people have mixed feelings about it.
Those who advocate for algorithmic curation say it avoids human prejudice in what gets screen time. The result however has often been that click bait and sensationalist headlines are preferenced over detailed financial analysis.
Now no one is arguing against some sort of filtration in the content we receive. There is simply too much news for any online platform to show us everything that is posted. But there are some questions regarding how this is managed, and how we as consumers can ensure we’re still reading a variety of opinions.
Tale as old as time?
Even in the golden age of print media, newspapers always had either progressive or conservative biases. We took this as a given. By the same token we also expected editorial oversight to ensure some level of impartiality in the topics discussed.
Social media on the other hand doesn’t have this oversight. The algorithms that choose what we see, reflect the views of our tribe.
Now it is news to no one that most of us surround ourselves with people who share our values, online and offline. Problems arise however when these people become our sole source of information thereby creating a bubble, meaning we are not exposed to opinions that differ from our own.
These bubbles can evolve into echo chambers which reject alternative opinions. When this happens, respectful dialogue can turn nasty. We’ve all witnessed comment threads turned sour.
Change on the horizon
The tech giants have been responsive to these issues recently. In 2018 Facebook made landmark shifts in the shape of its algorithm to promote ‘meaningful’ connections over branded content and to reduce the impact of sensationalist, clickbait articles.i
Similarly, Apple News, recognising that algorithms sometimes lack subtlety in their curation, put a team of journalists in charge of curating their feed.ii
A foundation of trust
The question at the centre of this changing media landscape is who we trust. Algorithms? Experts? Our friends and family? The pack mentality we sometimes see on social media has led to many analysts commenting on an erosion of trust in both public institutions and subject matter experts.
But on a practical level we still put our trust in experts every day. We go to a doctor for our ailments, and a mechanic to fix our car. Much like a newsfeed simply couldn’t fit all of the news on one wall, we simply can’t know everything. As a result, we rely on others as sources of truth, or experts in their fields, all the time.
Where to from here
It’s up to you to find an approach towards consuming media that works for you. That might mean subscribing to a variety of publications you trust and doing further research to find out the whole story.
It also means having a sounding board you have faith in. The state of media is noisier than ever and the finance sector is not immune. The volume of opinions we’re exposed to can be daunting for even the savviest of investors.
That’s why we’re here to help. It always makes sense to have an expert in your corner to cut through the clickbait and make sense of financial news as it relates to your individual circumstances, while also thinking big picture and taking into account the natural ebb and flow of markets.
The news changes daily but media has changed for good. If you need help making sense of any of it, talk to us. We’re always here to help.

Vibrant Learning Community
Pillars of Educational Practice
Families of Schools
District Planning
We know from human history and the latest learning science that success comes from the combination of academic knowledge and the ability to work with others. We need public education to reflect this. Walter Isaacson, Aspen Institute President and CEO
The North Vancouver School District is committed to a continuum of SEL integral to student well-being and development. The continuum includes an intentional focus on creating a Sense of Belonging for students, the teaching of Pro-Social Skills, teaching Positive Mental Health awareness and strategies, and finally investing in an Integrated Approach to Mental Health with our community partners. Each area of SEL support is beneficial on it’s own but the development of strategic action across the continuum provides a comprehensive focus and best meets the needs of all students.
The identified areas of focus were determined through current research, and consultation and collaboration with district staff, parents, students, and local community agencies. This continuum was informed by CASEL, Stan Kutcher, the Standing Committee on Children and Youth Mental Health, and Kim Schonert-Reichl. We share this area of development with our community partners, and continue the work of developing a shared language across partner groups.
We believe that a focus on Social Emotional Learning Continuum is central to student development and the Educated Global Citizen. In addition, we believe that intentionally enhancing a student’s sense of belonging while teaching social emotional skills and positive mental health enables student engagement and enhanced learning.
The Continuum of Social Emotional Learning
Sense of Belonging
Mental Health Literacy
Integrated Mental Health
A positive sense of belonging nurtures self-esteem, self-worth, and ultimately equips young people with the ability to develop healthy relationships with others (Brokenleg, 2002). When we are anchored in community we develop self-esteem assuring ourselves of our own worth as individuals (Maslow, 1943). Relationships with peers and school staff based on mutual trust and respect are essential to engagement and learning.
Goal: To ensure students have connection(s) to a member of school staff.
Key Actions:
Provide training to support classroom teachers in ensuring each students sense of belonging at school
Develop strategies and structures that intentionally connect all students to each other and to school staff
Establish observation protocols to monitor students’ sense of belonging and connection with school
Identify targeted strategies for student identified as struggling with their sense of belonging/connection
Increase use of community building programs, such as Tribes, Restorative Justice, etc.
Establish collaborative problem solving processes
Review approaches or policies that may hinder sense of belonging
Measure of Success/Indicator of Progress:
Individual and school wide attendance data/patterns
Student self-reports to classroom/homeroom teachers what it is they are connected to at school
Connection Surveys
Schools help children and adults acquire and apply knowledge, skills, and attitudes that enhance personal development, establish satisfying interpersonal relationships, and lead to effective and ethical work and productivity. These include: 1) competencies to understand and manage emotions; 2) set and achieve positive goals; 3) feel and show caring and concern for others; 4) establish and maintain positive relationships; and 5) make responsible decisions.
Goal: Promote educator awareness and teaching of evidence based strategies to develop student Self-Awareness, Self-management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision-Making.
Highlighting for all school district staff, students, and parents, the importance of Social Emotional Learning as one of the 4 Pillars of the North Vancouver School District
Provide evidenced based, developmentally appropriate resources, literature, and frameworks to school based teams and classroom teachers for use with whole schools, individual classrooms, and individual students
Raise the profile and understanding of Social Emotional learning in our classrooms, so that all students, staff, and families are familiar with it’s 5 domains, and how these domains support development and their educational pathways.
Create SEL or Wellness clubs or groups at each school, for students to learn about, engage, with, promote, and offer leadership for SEL in their school sites.
Schools and classroom teachers are using recommended frameworks and resources
School staff have had targeted professional development on one or all of the five domains of Social Emotional Learning
Presence of school based clubs or groups targeting SEL or Wellness
School have provided opportunities for parents to engage with, and learn about, Social Emotional Learning at their children’s school.
In order to raise confident, self-assured, and well-rounded individuals, a holistic approach to teaching both brains and bodies about how to keep brains and bodies healthy and well is essential. Mental Health Literacy is a crucial component of this holistic approach and is defined as: 1) understanding how to foster and maintain good mental health; 2) understanding mental disorders and their treatments; 3) decreasing stigma about mental illness; and 4) understanding how to seek help effectively.
Goal: All students in the North Vancouver school district will receive mental health literacy training before they leave secondary school and enter post-secondary school or pursue their career pathways.
Incorporate Mental Health Literacy curriculum at the grade 9-10 levels under the umbrella of Personal Wellness.
Clarify within school sites which teaching staff/subject areas will be responsible for this curriculum delivery
Build a team, beyond, but including, the counselling team, of staff who will be considered “go-to” people for young people to talk about mental health beyond the context of the mental health curriculum
Continue to inform and engage parent community in regards to Mental Health Literacy through use of the Institute of Families for Child & Youth Mental Health Parent Trainers.
Pre and Post-tests for Mental Health Curriculum each year indicate learning is taking place
Number of parents engaged in parent training and information sharing from the Institute of Families for Child & Youth Mental Health
Number of staff involved as “Go-To” supports to counselling teams at each school
Dialogue about mental health and mental illness is open, honest, and not stigmatized.
The presence of social, emotional, behavioural, or mental health concerns occur neither overnight, or in isolation. Given the complexity of youth mental health, a coordinated and integrated approach to support is essential. In partnership with community agencies in a wraparound support model, school staff and families are able to ensure a higher quality of care. Key to this support is clear and consistent communication despite the need to broaden the team to beyond school for students in need.
Goal: Ensure effective communication and collaborative action between schools and community agencies to ensure seamless levels of mental health care and support for students and their families.
Establish a primary point of contact for mental health/interagency partnerships for the school district.
Establish a primary point of contact in each school for interagency communication
Establish a primary point of contact for individual students needing supports beyond school setting
Refine necessary consents for sharing of information between agencies, and ensure those consents are reviewed, signed, and filed for any student/families who are needing this level of support
Establish protocols and communication guidelines to ensure effective and ongoing consultation between agencies
Provide physical meeting space for staff of partner agencies to meet with their clients and families in the context of school .
Presence of both district and school key points of contact for mental health/interagency partnerships
Appropriate protocols have been established
Young people describe feeling supported both at school and in community
Community partners express feeling welcome in all of our schools

Colin Potter: And Then; Colin Potter & Paul Bradley: Behind Your Very Eyes; Jonathan Coleclough/Bass Communion/Colin Potter: s/t
Here’s a trio of droney CDs featuring Colin Potter, best known as the principal co-member (along with Steven Stapleton) of Nurse With Wound for studio work. Potter is also head honcho of the ICR label, and owns the IC Studio in Preston where many recent albums by NWW and other artists have been recorded.
On the solo release, Potter presents five longish tracks. The one-word track titles are taken from a cryptic utterance printed on the inlay and the CD itself: “Before it was inside… but now it is outside. Next will come examination and all will be revealed. Finally, however, nothing is certain, and then?” This frustrating riddle, reminiscent of the gnomic texts printed on the covers of Hafler Trio albums, is all Potter is prepared to extend to the listener by way of meaning or explication. Fortunately, however, there is plenty of textural variety to keep the listener interested. “Before” kicks off with a series of atmospheric windswept rattles and clatters, which are soon wiped away by a looming industrial-strength drone. This thing shifts and pulsates uncannily; it sounds organic and breathing, despite its electronic origin. Towards the end, the piece moves back outside where it began, to a hostile external environment.
This listener was utterly floored by the next piece, the stupidly titled “…”, which is a very different beast from anything else on these three albums. The track is infectiously rhythmic, sounding like a damaged music box as it arcs through 15 minutes of electronic restlessness. What makes it really special, though, is the sense of claustrophobia it conjures. As the beats pile up, they reinforce a palpable sense of tension and of a search for release. This is an object lesson in intelligent dance music. Elsewhere, “Next” has a woozy late-evening feel to it, with soft enveloping drones layered over night-time sounds and gradually becoming more and more grandiose and expansive over the course of its 20 minutes. There’s an immense architectural flair at work here, an intuitive understanding of shape and proportion, which only falters during the rather lumbering and tentative “And”. Rounding off the CD, “Finally” is another wispy, organic dronescape with a shimmering metallic heart.
The collaboration with Paul Bradley is a more homogeneous affair, with four lengthy drone-based pieces. Overwhelmingly dark and malevolent, the lack of tonal variety becomes oppressive after a while. “Cavity” is nightmarishly filmic, evoking images of hunt and pursuit, while the slightly less gloomy “Decline” sounds almost liturgical, as though striving to fill a cathedral with its resonant organ tones. This is music that demands to be played loud, engulfing the listener in its lowering sheets of sound.
The third album in this batch is something of a mixed bag. It’s essentially a remix CD, in which Potter, Jonathan Coleclough and Bass Communion (better known as Steven Wilson, the frontman of neo-progressive rock outfit Porcupine Tree) take turns to remodel material by each other. It’s curious, but very pleasing, to note that someone as deeply immersed in the genre of progressive rock as Wilson can also turn his hand, in a committed and convincing fashion, to the slow, Rothkoesque tropes of dark ambient music. On the opening track of the first disc, “Passed”, mournful percussive sighs float around disembodied organ sounds and skeletal beats, evoking a huge sense of loss in twelve unhurried minutes. At twice that length, on the other hand, “Yossaria” outstays its welcome with a queasy, repetitive brass figure and an extended sub-Floyd workout of clattering clock and typewriter effects (at least, that’s what they sound like to me). The insistent, nagging buzzes of “Raiser” begin to irritate, until they are carried away on a warm bed of silvery drones and warm, echoey beats.
The whole of the second disc is given over to “Epidural”, a vast canvas of delicately shifting patterns featuring celestial, Garbarek-esque saxophone from Theo Travis. This piece is a starkly beautiful, minimalist symphony, with the constantly shifting and pulsating vibrancy of the sax hovering ethereally over deep sub-bass drones. The sax bows out as the piece nears its end, leaving only low end rumbles and faint traces of static.

Media-OutReach
Trend Micro Releases Innovations that Increase Security for Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes and G Suite Gmail
Update: April, 10/2019 - 04:51
Latest advancements help protect cloud, containers and corporate email from compromise
HONG KONG, CHINA - Media OutReach - 10 April 2019 - Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, today announced enhancements to its Deep Security™ and Cloud App Security products designed to extend protection to virtual machines on the Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes platform protection, container image scanning integration with the Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Gmail on the G Suite.
Trend Micro Executive Vice President, Network Defense and Hybrid Cloud Security, Steve Quane said, "An increasing number of businesses are investing in Google Cloud and Kubernetes to drive efficiencies and business agility. It is critical for enterprises to remember that they share in the responsibility of what they put in the cloud. Customers count on us to ease the implementation and automation of security earlier in the development process and to ensure the safe migration between the data center, hybrid cloud and even multi-cloud environments."
To address this need, Trend Micro has created a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Connector that enables automated discovery, visibility and protection of GCP virtual machine instances. This eases the management by giving an instant view of all GCP workloads while also showing any virtual machines that might have been deployed outside of security purview or under shadow IT projects. This feature of Trend Micro Deep Security has the ability to automatically deploy policy via automated workflows, combat advanced malware, enhance network and system security and capture workload telemetry for threat investigations.
Container users can benefit from Kubernetes platform protection at runtime with Deep Security intrusion prevention (IPS) rules, integrity monitoring and log inspection. Our IPS approach allows you to inspect both east-west and north-south traffic between containers and platform layers like Kubernetes. Additionally, Trend Micro's Deep Security provides container image scanning in the build pipeline for vulnerabilities, malware, embedded secrets / keys and compliance checks. Deployed as a Kubernetes Helm Chart, this container image scanning simplifies security deployment on popular services like Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS).
Research continues to show that email remains one of the most popular threat vectors which drove Trend Micro to expand its popular Cloud App Security platform to support Gmail users within G Suite. Organizations are increasingly looking to cloud email services to boost productivity and agility. Trend Micro has the most comprehensive email security coverage, with both Office 365 and now Gmail, to ensure malicious threats have no place to hide.
Collectively these innovations demonstrate Trend Micro's commitment to the Google community. The company will be previewing these innovations in booth #1615 at this week's Google Cloud Next in San Francisco, California.
About Trend Micro
Trend Micro Incorporated, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, helps to make the world safe for exchanging digital information. Our innovative solutions for consumers, businesses, and governments provide layered security for data centers, cloud environments, networks, and endpoints. All our products work together to seamlessly share threat intelligence and provide a connected threat defense with centralized visibility and control, enabling better, faster protection.

Des Moines Man Killed in Weight Lifting Accident
by: WHO 13 Digital Staff
DES MOINES, Iowa -- A Des Moines man is dead after a weight lifting accident at a metro gym.
According to the Elite Edge Transformation Center in Ankeny, 22-year-old Kyle Thomson was bench pressing, when the weights slipped from his grip on Monday morning.
Thomson was taken to the hospital where he later died from severe internal injuries.
"This is a difficult and painful time, and our thoughts are with the member’s family. Grief counselors are meeting with staff and gym members over the next couple of days. We would ask that you keep his family in your prayers," says Joe Brammer, owner of Elite Edge Transformation Center.
Greg Schoon, Thomson's high school weight lifting coach is shocked by the news. "He was a big kid but he was slimming down. He looked great. He knew what he was doing. It was just a freak accident."
Schoon says he was told his former East High School student was bench pressing around 315 pounds at the time of the accident. Schoon questions how the accident could have happened, although the owner of the gym says there were spotters present.
“If you’ve got your spotter, they are there to help prevent things like this,” says Schoon. The high school instructor and coach has been with the Des Moines Community School District for 13 years and always stresses weight lifting safety to his students.
Thomson was known as a big kid with an ever bigger heart and described as a quiet leader on the field. He was captain of the football team and selected as MVP during the baseball season of his senior year.
“He was an all-around good kid, great athlete, good kid in school and the community. It's a tough loss to comprehend,” Schoon says.
Dozens of former players and classmates of Thomson are posting to his Facebook page, and Schoon is encouraging them not to dwell on his death.
"Just hold your heads high celebrate all the good things about Kyle--which are many--and just treasure the memories."
Schoon hopes the East High School Athletic Department can somehow honor Thomson in the future.

Leap Motion joins spatial rival Ultrahaptics
AR news,News,North America AR news,North America VR news,VR news |
Virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) company Leap Motion has been sold to a rival haptics business.
Ultrahaptics reportedly paid $30 million for the company, which was founded in 2010 and developed sensors to track hand movements for VR use, and was working on a design for an inexpensive AR headset.
The $30 million paid falls well short of the $300 million the company was reportedly valued at in 2013, and follows two unsuccessful attempts by Apple to acquire it.
A developer of haptic technology that creates tactile sensations in mid-air using ultrasonic waves, Ultrahaptics is a long-time Leap Motion developer and licensee. The two companies have been working together for nearly six years.
“This deal will create a vertically integrated technology company that brings us that much closer to fully immersive, rich and physically intuitive virtual interfaces,” the company explained in a blog post.
It continued: “Joining forces will not only lead to new and exciting products, but entirely new categories of technologies that could only come from deep collaboration between these teams.”
“Our two companies together will be more than the sum of their parts. At Leap Motion we’ve always been about breaking down the barriers between people and technology to reach the true potential of both. This announcement represents the next step in this quest, and we are honoured to have you continue with us on this journey.”

Location - Paluma Range National Park, Queensland, Australia
Distance - Approximately 11 kilometres return (over 1,000 metres ascent & descent)
Time - Approximately 5 to 10 hours return, depending on fitness and breaks
Grade - Grade 5, difficult and strenuous
Mount Halifax is the highest (1,063 metres) and most prominent peak north of Townsville on mainland Australia, at least until you reach the Tully area. This is the mountain that rises up behind the pineapple farms, the one that you can see while driving along the Bruce Highway. You can also see Mount Halifax from Castle Hill in Townsville. The only higher peaks on mainland Australia around the Townsville area are to the south within the Mount Elliot range.
Summiting Mount Halifax is strenuous; you will need to be fit to climb up some of the steep hill sections. The bush track is rough and uneven underfoot. A little bit of rock hopping is also involved. So, you need to have adequate technical skills and good foot placement. The route is generally well-marked with orange and yellow metal reflective markers as well as pink flagging tape. However, sometimes you will encounter just a marked route with seemingly no defined track. Or, while in the creek rock hopping, you may not be focussing as much on the markers. The trail can be rough and, in some places, difficult to discern without the markers. So, ensure you always keep the markers in sight.
It is recommended to start early (e.g., 7 am) for this hike. From Pace Road, allow 4 to 6 hours to reach the Halifax summit, depending on your fitness. If you are super fit and take minimal breaks, you can do it in under 5 hours, return. The FKT (Fastest Known Time) and current record to the summit is 1 hour 17 minutes and the FKT return (ascent and descent) is 3 hours and 16 minutes. Perhaps take the challenge! However, for the trail runners and hikers alike, the killer truly is the swift elevation gain. Mount Halifax is still waiting for a sub one-hour ascent.
Starting early is important so that you ensure you have enough daylight to return to the finish point. We suggest that if you have not reached the summit by midday, turn around and descend. There is a sign-in logbook at the start of the walk with a detailed mud maps in the box. Please ensure you return the mud map at end of walk. The upper parts of the route do have mobile phone reception, but you should be prepared just in case. While the marked trail is a privately developed and maintained trail, it is still rough in comparison to Queensland Department of National Parks standards. But, this may change in the near future, as National Parks have taken onboard some of the Paluma Tracks, including this one.
Here's an interactive map of the track from Pace Road to the summit of Mount Halifax. Note that you can also continue on to Godwin's Peak or to the PRB track.

Mount Halifax Elevation Plot/Profile
Mount Halifax offers a decent climb!
Track details and brief history
The Mount Halifax track was built in the 2000s from Pace Road to the summit by some Vietnam veterans, including Trevor Cheeseman, Dave Dunk, and Stan Redman. They finished building the track in 2006 so that they could train for the Kokoda Track in April 2007. Then, track that now connects Mount Halifax with Godwin's Peak was started August 2016, and finally the clearing and marking was completed September 2019.
Today, the route to Mount Halifax is approximately 11 kilometres return and includes a 1,000 metre ascent and then, of course, 1,000 metres in descent as well. Maintenance is still an ongoing process, so please consider taking secateurs to help keep these trails open.
If you are driving north from Townsville, turn left onto Pace Road just before you reach the Rollingstone bridge. Drive until you reach the log book sign-in point for the start of the track. This is where the road ends, and you can park your car here, along the roadside before Pace's gate. Vehicles are not to proceed through Pace's gate, however, as it is private property. Please also note that heavy machinery and wide loads use the road every day. Please park your vehicle far off the road and do not block the gate.
The Mount Halifax Track is not on private property and is a registered walk on the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service website and therefore in no danger of closure. As long as we stick to the track and behave responsibly, we should keep the peace with the Pace families adjacent to the park.
This image shows the road to the start of the walk and location of the ridgeline.
The Pace family have been and continue to be extremely generous in keeping their gate open so that visitors can enjoy this area. Please be considerate and respectful of this property so that the Pace family feels that they can always maintain this privilege for us.
Pace's gate is the starting point and is at an elevation of 92 metres.
Much of the bushwalk at the lower altitudes is in or alongside a rocky and boulder-strewn jungle creek. Along the way, there are some small gorges, waterfalls, and cascades. However, during some parts of the year, there may not be any flowing water in the creek at all. The vegetation will change dramatically along the walk as you gain altitude, spanning woodland, rainforest, she-oak trees, grass trees, bottle brush plants on exposed ridges, and then you will climb up narrow, rocky ridgelines to reach rainforest vegetation at the top.
From Pace's gate to Gorge Falls (elevation 171 metres) is 1.4 kilometres and will be about a 30 minute, cross country, easy walk. Gorge Falls has a pool that, when water is flowing, is great for swimming. During the dry season, however, the water can be dark, rancid, and quite unsuitable.
Gorge Falls
From Gorge Falls, it only takes 10 minutes or so to reach Rope Falls (elevation 174 metres). Again, during the rainy season and/or on the shoulders of the seasons, this can be a really nice pool for swimming. However, during the dry months, the pool can be quite dark and smelly. Climb up the right side of the rock face, and find a couple ropes to assist you. The views are spectacular from here.
Rope Falls
You can then head to Loop Falls as a short side trip or just proceed to Flat Rock.
Loop Falls
Rope Falls to Loop Falls (elevation 261 metres) involves an undulating hike on a track that ascends the left side of the valley away from the creek. You will encounter a steep climb to reach Loop Falls. From here, you can descend back into the creek bed to reach Flat Rock. At this point, you will have been walking for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours from Pace's gate.
The ascent really commences now. From Flat Rock, you will head to Camp 1 (altitude 510 metres). This is a very steep section that will require at least 30-40 minutes to ascend. Along the way, you will climb up Rocky Creek. Rock hop up the creek, and then head away from the creek to the left side onto the ridgeline. You will then ascend up a rock slide, a very steep scree slope with loose rocks. Look for the rope that is in place to assist you here. Once you reach the top of the rock slide, you will encounter a loose dirt surface. You are now about halfway to Camp 1, but this is where the climb steepens even more. Again, look for another rope that is in place to assist you. After another 25 minutes or so, you will arrive at Camp 1.
There is a side trip from here if you veer 125 metres to the right that leads to Bridal Falls. This is the last water point on the ascent to Mount Halifax, and so definitely take the opportunity to refill your water containers. Take a moment to enjoy this pretty waterfall as well!
From Camp 1 to Camp 2 (altitude 639 metres), you will encounter more, very steep climbing. Allow at least 30-40 minutes, and expect an 87% gradient at one point!
Then, from Camp 2 to Camp 3 (altitude 743 metres), you guessed it, expect more, very steep climbing. Allow at least 30-40 minutes for this section.
From Camp 3 to Echo Hill (altitude 894 metres), there is more, steep climbing required to reach the rocky ridgeline of she-oak and grass trees. This part of the track can be slow if the track is overgrown because of the vegetation. If you are lucky, a nice breeze will cool you as you go, even though there is literally little to no shade along this segment. But, once your reach Echo Hill, you will enjoy great views of the landscape around and below. Godwin's Peak is visible to the south east, as is Townsville. If you look toward the east and to the north, you will see the Palm Island group and, in the distance, Hinchinbrook Island. Look west to see the summit of Mount Halifax. It feels a bit closer now!
Echo Hill
From Echo Hill to False Crest (altitude 1015 metres), you will trek along the ridgeline and then into the rainforest. Enjoy some spectacular views along the ridge, and note that the temperature noticeably (and pleasantly) decreases while you are in the rainforest.
View from Echo Hill
From False Crest to Mount Halifax (altitude 1063 metres), you will walk for about 15 minutes through the rainforest, down a gully, and then back up, over moist, rainforest ground to reach the summit. You will have been trekking now for approximately 5 hours.
Crowd onto the rocky outcrop that is just south of the summit for the best views. Then, if you continue further south a few metres, you can scramble onto Mickle's Lookout, which is overgrown, but has even better views.
"Mickle's Lookout" at the top of Mount Halifax
If you decide to camp at the summit, there is a water point about 1 kilometre away, but note that the track to get there is slightly overgrown and downwards.
After a lunch break and ample photographs, start your return journey the same way you ascended. However, because you will be going downhill, the pace should be a little bit quicker than the way up. Be mindful of the steep downhill sections and the pressure on your knees and the fact that your feet can easily slip out from underneath you. Allow approximately 1 hour to come down.
Or, you may consider continuing on to Godwin's Peak or the PRB Track (via the link track).
Essentials to bring
You must to be self-sufficient in remote areas with rugged terrain while you are hiking all day. Ensure you have a map, compass, GPS, and safety communication devices.

Lindsey Graham and a Dutch white nationalist were photographed smiling and laughing together
Media, News Analysis, racism
By Vinnie Longobardo
The comfort level that Trump-supporting members of the Republican party now have with right-wing extremists would have been unimaginable just a few short years ago.

Here Are the 40 Most Dangerous Places to Swim
Since Donald Trump took office, not only have domestic neo-fascist and racist organizations like the Proud Boys and the KKK been welcomed to become part of the Republican mainstream, but previously-shunned nationalists, extremists, and far-right-wing figures haunting the European political scene have become de facto allies of Trump and his supporters as they try to overturn the liberal policies of their EU homelands.
The close ties between the Trump administration and its congressional proxies were made quite clear by a recently deleted tweet posted by Dutch politician Geert Wilders, the leader of the Netherlands’ Party of Freedom, a nationalist right-wing populist party with a platform of Islamophobia that called for banning the Koran and shuttering all of Holland’s mosques.
Wilders has called for shutting down all immigration to the Netherlands from Islamic countries in a direct echo of Donald Trump’s original attempted ban on travel from Muslim nations that was halted by courts that ruled the ban as unconstitutional — besides being morally reprehensible and contrary to American values.
So it comes as not much of a surprise that close-Trump ally Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was caught on camera laughing and smiling for a photo with Wilders while attending the 2109 Ambrosetti Forum in Cernobbio, Italy near Lake Cuomo. According to Wikipedia, the Forum is hosted by an Italian consulting firm and presents forecasts of the economic and geopolitical outlooks for the world, Europe and Italy. The forum also analyzes the main scientific and technological developments and their impacts on the future of business and society. The invited participants typically include business leaders from major Italian and international corporations, as well as international politicians.
Graham’s decision to take a photo with the controversial racist politician is again something that would have been unthinkable in a pre-Trump world where figures like Wilder were shunned by mainstream political figures out of fear of lending his viewpoints legitimacy. Yet, with essentially the same vile viewpoint now being tweeted out daily from the White House, the stigma behind associating with the Dutch neo-fascist seems to have dissolved.
Still, someone was uncomfortable with the implications of the photo of the pair of like-minded politicians happily posing for the camera, since the tweet was soon deleted from Wilders account after appearing briefly in his Twitter feed. Luckily, John Hudson, a diplomacy and national security correspondent for The Washington Post, managed to grab a screen capture of the photo before it disappeared from the social media site.
The Geert Wilders account has since deleted his photo with Lindsey Graham, but I had the tab still open on my browser so here it is: pic.twitter.com/WTQrTuHgZW
— John Hudson (@John_Hudson) September 7, 2019
Sorry, Senator Graham, but the internet never forgets. Whether it was the brown-nosing South Carolina Senator who had a bout of remorse and asked for the photo to be taken down, or it was the Dutch extremist leader who was embarrassed to be associated with Trump’s toady is still unclear, but either way, those smiling faces demonstrate the close bond of their ideologies, a closeness that should frighten Americans and bring shame upon Senator Graham.

The Amazing Story Of Steve McQueen’s Quest For Inner Peace
Steve McQueen had seen and done it all in his fifty years on earth, but there was one thing he didn’t have—the one thing he wanted most: inner peace.
Duke Taber
A men’s fashion magazine recently asked the question, “Who was cooler: Steve McQueen or James Dean?”
Looking over their careers, where they were rated from fashion sense to accomplishments, Steve McQueen won. Maybe that’s why he was dubbed “the king of cool.”
Who can forget McQueen in films like The Magnificent Seven, Bullitt, or The Great Escape? He was the definition of a “self-made man.” He drove the fastest motorcycles and the coolest cars. In many ways, he was running his whole life.
Many do not know that McQueen had a horrible childhood. He was abandoned by his father, and his mother was a raging alcoholic. She married alcoholic, abusive men, two of whom would beat Steve as a boy. McQueen was on his own, on the streets, at the age of nine. He was sent to a boy’s home and later went to New York City to learn how to act. One thing led to another, and Steve had tremendous success, becoming the number-one movie star in the world.
Steve said, “You only go around once in life, and I’m going to grab a handful of it!” It was the ’60s, and everything was free . . . Drugs, sex, you name it. Steve grabbed it all and then some. He was the highest paid actor in Hollywood. He had it all: women, cars, booze, drugs, global fame, money. He said, “I live for myself and answer to nobody!” He was asked once if he believed in God and he brazenly said, “I believe in me!”
But by the late ’70s, McQueen’s star was fading. He felt empty and unsatisfied. He began turning down huge offers and retreated into his private world. He was also having problems with his lungs, and his doctors told him he should move. He left Malibu for the small quiet town of Santa Paula, where he married his third wife.
She wrote in her book, Steve McQueen: The Last Mile, that despite his worldwide fame and the fact that he financially never wanted for anything, an absolute peace had eluded Steve for most of his life. He had seen and done it all in his fifty years on earth, but there was one thing he didn’t have—the one thing he wanted most: inner peace.
They lived in an airport hangar, where Steve kept his massive motorcycle collection. One thing Steve had not mastered was flying. So he bought a vintage plane known as a Stearman biplane. He asked who could best teach him how to operate it and he was told there was only one man: Sammy Mason, who was in his mid-60s. Sammy was a former test pilot for Lockheed and was a stunt pilot.
Steve and Sammy spent long hours talking about the meaning of life. Steve noticed something different about Sammy and asked what it was. Sammy Mason told Steve McQueen it was his relationship with Jesus Christ. He invited Steve to church, and much to Sammy’s surprise, McQueen showed up.
The pastor, Leonard Dewitt, knew that McQueen had come and told people to leave him alone so he could take it in. One day, Steve McQueen tapped the pastor on the shoulder and asked to meet. Steve fired a bunch of questions Pastor Dewitt’s way, and the pastor answered them. Steve wanted to know: What is God like? Does God truly forgive?
After all, McQueen had the life of sex, drugs, booze, and the coolest machines ever. He had made a lot of mistakes and hurt a lot of people. Pastor Dewitt answered him, and McQueen said, “That takes care of my questions!”
Pastor Dewitt responded, “I have a question for you, Steve!”
Steve smiled and said, “You’re wondering if have become born again? When you invited people to pray with you to receive Christ a few Sundays ago, I prayed. So yes, I’m a born-again Christian!”
The “king of cool” met Christ!
Everyone who knew Steve said the transformation was immediate and dramatic. Steve spent hours poring over his Bible and praying. McQueen met with Pastor Dewitt once a week for a year. Steve brought his friends and kids to church with him every Sunday. He said, “I don’t want to get on a soapbox until I know what I’m talking about!”
McQueen had returned to films, and while filming The Hunter, he did not feel well. He went to the doctor and was told he had an incurable form of cancer. He was also told he only had months to live. Steve called his pastor and told him.
Pastor Dewitt vividly remembers what Steve said next: “Now that I’m a Christian, I want to live! But if I don’t make it, I know where I’m going!”
Steve said, “The one regret I have is I was not able to tell people what Christ did for me.”
Steve had always wanted to meet Billy Graham. Billy came to see him, and when he realized McQueen had misplaced his Bible, Billy gave him his. Steve went in for surgery but died because his heart gave out. Billy’s Bible was on Steve’s chest. It was opened to John 3:16.

Nomy Arpaly & Timothy Schroeder. In Praise of Desire. Oxford University Press, 2014.
Professor Arpaly's work focuses on ethics, moral psychology, action theory, free will, and normative ethics.
My interest is in the complexity of moral psychology. I first started writing in moral psychology when I was struck by the ubiquity of inconsistence between people's moral principles and their actions and emotions. Not only are there (notoriously) people who fail to practice the good things they preach, but there are also wonderful people who preach bad things. Observations like that lead me to curiousity as to questions about what it is that makes people good or bad (virtue) and what makes them praiseworthy or blameworthy for their actions (moral worth). Also of interest to me is the question of rationality - what makes a person rational in his or her thoughts and actions. In a related vein, I have worked on some aspects of the problem of free will - basically, the compatibility of determinism and moral praise and blame as well as with meanigfull lives in general, and also, in forthcoming work, the role of moral ignorance (i.e how one can, or cannot, blame a Nazi who thought he was doing the right thing when he committed murder).
I have worked extensively with my coauthor, Timothy Schroeder, who has some background in science, on the nature of desire and role of desire in major part of our moral lives, especially virtue and acting for reasons, with some detailed discussions of subject such love and addiction. My current projects: a theory of virtue which is based on desire but friendly to the sense of duty and beginning to sketch a theory of normative ethics - neither Kantian nor utilitarian - based on evidence that have to do with moral psychology.

Schools reopening criticism
Leaders slam government over decision to allow borough’s schools to reopen
By Simon Allin
Political leaders in Haringey have slammed the government’s decision to allow the borough’s primary schools to reopen despite high Covid-19 infection rates.
MPs and the council leader are calling for a review after ministers revealed primary schools in 22 other London boroughs – including neighbouring Enfield and Barnet – will not reopen as planned next week, in a move designed to prevent the spread of the virus.
The latest data shows the seven-day Covid-19 infection rate in Haringey – 785 cases per 100,000 people in the week to December 25 – is the tenth highest in London.
Yet primary schools in 14 London boroughs with lower infection rates will only open to the children of key workers and vulnerable children on Monday.
MP for Hornsey and Wood Green Catherine West has written to Education Secretary Gavin Williamson blasting what she called a “chaotic announcement, with no local consultation” and calling for an urgent review.
Ms West said she had been “inundated with emails from anxious parents and teachers who cannot understand what criteria have been used when infection rates in Haringey are higher than in some of the other London boroughs, such as Kensington and Chelsea, where schools will remain closed.”
The MP added that she had supported efforts to keep schools open, but parents and teachers need to know children’s safety comes first and that science and data drive government decisions.
Tottenham MP David Lammy tweeted: “Struggling to understand Gavin Williamson’s logic in leaving Haringey Council off the list of areas for delayed school openings. Our infection levels are higher than other London boroughs included, and no one consulted locally. This is about life and death. This needs urgent review.”
Council leader Cllr Joseph Ejiofor posted: “Government’s management of this pandemic continues to be shambolic. They want Haringey schools open yet close schools in 14 boroughs with LOWER infection rates than ours.
“The Secretary of State has already made a public U-turn for Redbridge. We’re writing to him to insist we are added to that list.”
Haringey Council has called for “urgent clarity” on why the borough was left off the list of delayed primary school openings.
When he set out school contingency plans on Wednesday, the Education Secretary said keeping schools open had been a priority for the government throughout the pandemic.
Speaking in the House of Commons, Mr Williamson described the government’s response as “proportionate to the risk at hand” and pointed to a study from Public Health England indicating that the wider impact of school closures on children’s development would be “significant”.
The minister added: “In a small number of areas, where the infection rates are highest, we will implement our existing contingency framework such that only vulnerable children and children of critical workers will attend face to face.”
Mr Williamson said ongoing testing for primary school staff would be rolled out later in January.
The Department for Education said it works closely with Public Health England, the NHS, the Joint Biosecurity Centre and across government to monitor the number of new infections, positivity rates, and pressures on the NHS, on which basis decisions are made.

Columbia County deputies capture 13-year-old carjacking suspect in Lake City
13-year-old abducts 67-year-old woman
By: Action News Jax
Updated: November 1, 2017 - 5:07 PM
The Columbia County Sheriff's Office said its deputies caught a 13-year-old armed carjacking suspect who forced a woman into her car Tuesday afternoon in Lake City.
The 67-year-old woman was in her garage on Northwest Dudley Loop when the 13-year-old boy approached her and asked her for a ride, according to a release from CCSO.
@Columbiasheriff Deputies foil a armed carjacking and abduction in Lake City. Suspect in custody!!! More to follow pic.twitter.com/ZN1edFwCiP
— Columbia Sheriff, FL (@ColumbiaSheriff) October 31, 2017
The woman declined to give the boy a ride and he returned with a gun a few minutes later, demanding her keys.
She gave the boy the keys, but he could not get the car started. The woman opened the passenger door to get the keys, but the boy was able to get the car started and threatened to shoot her if she got out of the car.
She called 911 at 4:05 p.m. and deputies were able to find the car traveling south on Main Boulevard just north of Duval Street, the release said. They performed a precision immobilization technique (PIT) maneuver to stop the car and were able to take the teen into custody.
The woman said she did not know the teen before this incident. The teen is facing charges of armed burglary, carjacking, abduction and driving without a license.
Action News Jax is not currently naming the teen, as he has not been charged as an adult at this time.
This is a developing story. Refresh this page, follow @ActionNewsJax on Twitter and watch Action News Jax for the latest updates.

IUMA: H.C trouBADours
I am a songwriter-singer who performs using local musicians for gigs. I'm too country for rock and too rock for country. So I must be Americana. I have been performing in various bands for over 20 yrs in MD,WV,PA,and NC. Although I have been writing for most of my life,I have only been playing my original stuff for about 3yrs to the loving public. Some say I write country others say folk. I really don't care where it's labeled just as long as it's listened to. I dont want your money but I sure...

According to the centennial publication "Eldridge - 100 Years, 1871-1971", the first bank in Eldridge was the Eldridge Savings Bank, which opened in 1899. A disagreement caused the Board of Directors to be divided, so a second bank, the German Saving Bank of Eldridge, was established in 1909. Its...

ERIC ED022649: Linguistic Principles and the Selection of Materials.
The use of linguistic principles in selecting reading materials is relatively recent. Several years ago at Wayne State University, over 200 principles were identified as possible criteria for the selection of materials. About 50 of these were linguistic principles, some of which conflicted with the others. Descriptive linguistics seems, at present, to bear the greatest relevancy to the teaching of reading, although this may change as transformational grammar develops. Five examples of...

Helgi Thorsson
Bellissimo Thorsson
Rough, somewhat clumsy workmanship, the veneer of eccentric colours, bizarre humour, cheesy nostalgia and the sincere belief that art can do something good for the viewer, are some of the ingredients of Bellissimo Thórsson. The exhibition space of 1646 is filled with objects sculpted by hand, painted and assembled from scratch, all natural ingredients that, he says “give it an aura that is so desired today”. Then there is also the advanced pottery and concrete sculptures that are inspired by pan flute music.
Thórsson uses classical materials as bronze, clay and canvas that he combines with the latest technology in lights and sound. Thórsson’s visual world is absurd and amusing, attractive and nauseating at the same time. At a first glance all seems somehow overwhelming and exaggerated but in the inner context, his installations, sculptures and paintings also carry a touch of serenity and spiritual search.
Helgi Thórsson tried to look into the deep and hidden worlds with the help of mediums and a hypnotist where he found confusing and strange information. The hypnotist sent him to a pool of psychedelic colour bringing a new colour pallet to the surface.
The first medium told him the story of his past life as a painter from the Netherlands, he misused the help of models and became a sex addict and a drunk, focusing on technical skills in his paintings – lacking inspiration – he died a lonely man. The advice for his current life was don’t go on the same path – Thórsson has stayed away from models.
The second medium told him that he was working on very old themes, as an artist in earlier civilizations, in the time of Mu and Atlantis. Bringing to life ancient long forgotten imagery – the medium’s advice was to go into a deep meditation to get connected to his spirit guide. So far this has not been going too well as he drinks too much coffee, but nevertheless watches ancient mystery episodes on YouTube.
About Helgi Thorsson: Thórsson (b. 1975 Iceland) is a visual and sound artist. He studied Sonology at The Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, received his BFA from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in 2002 and an MFA from the Sandberg Institute in 2004. Thórsson was part of the artist initiative Kunstschlager in Reykjavik and ABC Klubhuis in Antwerp. As well as having handled his brush and chisel for the past decades, Thórsson is a member of the bands Stilluppsteypa and Evil Madness.

Scientific interests
I studied Veterinary Medicine to devote my life to wildlife management and diseases research. It was not easy, but after years of effort, I achieved my goal and helped other people to understand the importance of infectious diseases in wildlife conservation. It took years to show to other vet colleagues the role of veterinary science not only on public and animal health but also on conservation biology. However, events proved that it was right. Now, is time to create multidisciplinary teams to deal with wildlife pathology and conservation issues.
