Mauled Illusionist. Jean Monahan. ( Orchises Press. PO BOX 20602 Alexandria, VA. ) 22320 $15
I first read Jean Monahan’s poems in “The South End News,” a community newspaper in Boston, Mass. I was impressed with her work, and later a poem of hers appeared in one of the first issues of “Ibbetson Street.” Recently I booked her to read in the “Newton Free Library Poetry Series,” in the Fall of 2006. And later Monahan sent me her new collection of poems: “Mauled Illusionist.” After selectively reading it, I was again reminded of why I chose her to read in the series. Her poetry has a sense of play, it slowly draws the reader in, and goes deep; behind the obscuring scrim of everyday life. In a very clever poem: “ Humpty Dumpty,” the poet taps into the thoughts of the fairytale character as he sits on his tenuous perch, and gets to some larger truths: “ Though I straddle a wall between hope/ and sorrow, I find a kind of peace/ between them. / The fragile/ must be above it all, / self-contained, potential / cracked open by surprise – and life -/ a lake within herself, a sun,/ The shell is delicate, but it will mend./ Nothing in this garden has not been broken./ Even the promises of Kings.” In the poem “Mauled Illusionist Goes Home,” Monahan writes of the plight of the trainer and illusionist Roy Horn, who was mauled by his own tiger. The poet turns the table on the trainer and explores the illusions he creates for the audience, and the illusions we all create for ourselves: “ I was hauled/ from the glittering ring,/ beaten at my own game, tamed./ Offstage /I healed/ myself, away from the crowds/ who passed to close and loud, / heart-in-mouth / for my throat in the maw,/ my whip on the back/ of what we feed and love and pretend / loves us back.

TINO VILLANUEVA: AN OVERVIEW
The article is written by Hugh Fox; a poet/archaeologist who has taught at Michigan State University since 1968. Author of 66 books, he is a major figure in the U.S. small press world, serving as editor of Ghost Dance: the International Quarterly of Experimental Poetry from 1968-1995. Ibbetson Street published his "Angel of Death," and "Boston: A Long Poem." I consider Hugh a friend and a mentor. He definitely thinks "outside the box." He makes me feel like my fly is perpetually down, a good thing I think!-- Doug Holder
Born on December 11, 1941 in San Marcos, Texas, Tino Villanueva worked as a migrant worker, assembly-line worker, and an army supply clerk. He is the founder of Imagine Publishers, Inc., and editor of Imagine: International Chicano Poetry Journal. Author of the book length poem Scene from the Movie GIANT (Curbstone, 1993) Villanueva has published three other volumes of poetry, Hay Otra Voz Poems, Shaking Off the Dark and Chronicle of My Worst Years/ Crónica de mis años peores. Villanueva won the American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation for Scene from the Movie GIANT in 1994. He teaches at Boston University.
Tino Villanueva is perhaps the biggest fake on the current literary scene. I mean he comes on primarily as Mr. Poor Chicano from San Marcos, Texas, but look again and there he is, Doctor Professor teaching in Boston University (where he got his Ph.D.), a master’s from SUNY-Buffalo, and before that a graduate (in letters) from Southwest Texas State University. And if that’s not enough, he’s also a painter, kind of cubistic, Picasso-ish, very impressive. When he start reading his work, does he sound like some kind of border Chicano slurring through his Spanish? More like Cervantes, or, in more modern terms, Pablo Neruda. His Chronicle of My Worst Years published by Northwestern University/TriQuarterly Books in Evanston, just north of Chicago in 1994, OK, so he talks about his early years suffering as a prejudiced-against Chicano in Texas, but even here, although the message gets across, you’re still in the presence of Doctor Literato. I’ll give the translation here, but put the Spanish in just to show those who know about these things just how literary Dr. Villanueva is:
2. I give more thought now to how prison like that childhood was in the abhorrent world of cotton-field work. Who gave the order in the ‘40s the furrows had to be so long, and the time that dragged in picking them should slaver to devour me?
(“Promised Lands,” p. 67)
(con más razón ahora considero,/cuán presa estuvo aquella infancia/en el dominio aborrecible/de las labores de algodón./Quién mandó que en los 40/fueran tan largos los surcos,/y que el tiempo/que/que tardé en piscarlos/fuera voraz para mi vida?, p.66)
He’s very careful here, isn’t he, to stick in a little “Chicanismo,” using cuán instead of cuánto, in order to capture the real peasant-slang of the workers, but....pure affectation, n’est pas? And when we move to another book of his Primera Causa/ First Cause, (Cross Cultural Communications, Merrick NY 2004), where are we but in the depths of Jungian caverns trying to figure out the whys and wherefores of existence:
In memory is my beginning, and so, here am I, face to face with this page and this predicament., with this vice that is a virtue the whole afternoon. Oh quest for distant memory and this equidistant longing with words. Finally, in the end, I write down what I’ve seen and all that is true. (I. “Memory That Never Ends,” p. 7) 3.(En el recuerdo se encuentra mi comienzo,/por eso heme aquí/ante un papel con este apuro,/con este vicio que es virtud toda la tarde./Oh costumbre del recuero/y el equidistante deseo con palabras./Por ültimo y al cabo” pongo lo que he visto y todo lo veraz, p. 6) Sometimes Doctor Villanueva Scholar pulls you out of the twentieth century altogether and brings you back into 17th century neoclassicism, like in this poem about Mnemosyne, the Goddess of Memory: Now, Mnemosyne, I’ve got you, and what pure pleasure to caress your name, to savor it, letter by letter, between my lips. I say it over and again and get swept into life because I’m me and my word and it’s autumn and with you I can be what I please. (p.27)
And the English translation by Lisa Horowitz is good, but somehow it lacks the antique flavor of the original Spanish: “Ahora aquí te tengo, Mnemosina,/y es hermoso acariciar tu nombre,/deletrearlo letra a letra entre los labios. Lo vuelvo a repetir/ y ya estoy viviendo,/porque soy yo y mi palabra y es otoño/y contigo me hago a mi manera.” The translation is accurate, but the original isn’t twentieth centuryish (much less “Chicanoish”) at all, more like a piece encountered in an ancient notebook in some antique collection in the national library in Madrid. What makes Villanueva even more challenging is that he can also jump totally into the twentieth century and write experimental poetry that is very much like his experimental cubist art.
4. There’s one book of his, Escena de la Película GIGANTE , originally published by Curbstone Press in Connecticut in 1993 and translated into Spanish and published by the Editorial Catriel in Marid in 2005, which is pure, beautiful experimentation, a long “meditation” on the gringo American film Giant, a 1956 film starring Rock Hudson, all about the huge gap in rights betwen Chicanos and gringos in old-time Texas. And again we’re back into racial/national disequality class meditations totally divorced from any Mr. Chicano prejudiced-against in what now seem like ancient, ancient times:
I am cast in time forward,wherethrough runs the present --- on track of light triumphant, the sum of everything that ignites this room with life, vida que no olvida,* calling out my name...(“...en el acto de contar/me lanzo hacia adelante en el tiempo, por donde transcurre/el presente -- una franja de luz triunfante,// la suma de todo lo qe enciende este salón/con vida, vida que no olvida, y que me está/llamando...”) (“The Telling,” pp. 88-89.) I suppose that Villanueva represents a real triumph of the underdog becoming the overseer, but after having lived in a world of affluent Latinos, and Brazilians most of my life, I don’t see him as that much of an exception. But triumphant he is, especially in the classical, profound impact of his art. _____*Life that doesn’t forget.

"the new renaissance" literary magazine
the new renaissance. 26 Heath Rd. #11 Arlington, Ma. 02474 http://www.tnrlitmag.net $14.95 tnrlitmag.aol.com editor: Louise Reynolds
I am on the advisory board of tnr, so I guess I am biased. But let me tell you, Louise Reynolds puts out one hell of a magazine from her cramped apartment in Arlington, Mass. It is a glossy-covered, perfect-bound affair with high quality paper, artwork, prose, poetry, fiction, etc... Reynolds has been putting it out since the 70's. Whenever I talk to her she's scrambling for funds or such to keep this publication alive. In the current issue #37, there is an informative article by H. Gyde Lund and Ashbindu Singh titled: "Reining in on Rainforest Destruction," and some arresting etchings by Zevi Bloom. There is of course a fair sampling of fiction, essays,and poetry to be had as well. Being a poet I of course gravitated to the poetry section and the impressive roster of tnr poets. Daniel Tobin, the head of the Creative Writing Dept. at Emerson College in Boston, has a poem: "The Scream," that is a wonderful study of Munch's famed painting. Jay Baron Nicorvo's "Hot Knives," has a beautiful description of a heroin high that will send chills down your spine, and perhaps peak a perverse interest: " That high was/ walking a road/ through a dense wood, under a full moon, with cobwebs catching/ in our eyelashes/ without the wish to swat/ at the spider or shear/ the silk that wove across our vision." This is a magazine that is true to its mission of presenting ideas and opinions, with an emphasis on literature and the arts.

Somerville Poet Rebecca Kaiser Gibson: A Shy Woman Who Is Passionate About Poetry.
Rebecca Kaiser Gibson may describe herself as basically a shy person, but there is no paucity of words when she describes her passion for the arts. I first became aware of Gibson through an article in that “other” paper in town. Later while I was scribbling at a local bagel shop in Porter Square, I noticed her scribbling there as well. Our paths crossed again recently, and I invited her to join me on my Somerville Community Access TV show ‘Poet to Poet/Writer to Writer.”
Gibson is a lecturer in poetry at Tufts University, and has an eclectic background in both theatre and poetry. Her work has appeared in such publications as “Northwest Review,” “Field,” “Harvard Review,” and others. She has also been a managing director of the “New Voices Theatre Company,” in Boston, and assistant to Tina Packer, the artistic director of the “Boston Shakespeare Company.” She has an M.A. from the “Boston University Creative Writing Program.”
Doug Holder: I notice as a poetry editor, I get a lot of poetry about coffee shops, or experiences in them. You wrote a poem titled: “Dunkin’ Donuts. Somerville, Mass..” What is it about these places that spawn poets, poems, etc… And what’s your favorite java joint in the “Ville?
Rebecca Kaiser Gibson: With the donut poem, I didn’t actually sit there , in a Dunkin’ Donuts. It was really a poem about class. I had moved from Newton to Somerville. I felt I had a much wider range of what I could see and understand in Somerville, as opposed to the city of Newton, where I moved from.
My favorite coffee shop these days is the “Au Bon Pain,” in Davis square. Coffee shops create an atmosphere of things going on that you don’t have to do anything about. There is a low-grade noise that you aren’t responsible for, yet it seeps into your work. If fills a space that might be too empty if you are all alone. It’s kind of a friendly drone.
I find lately that I can’t work at coffee shops any more. I work at home alone now.
DH: You have four degrees in Creative Writing, Teaching Theatre, English Literature, and Theatre Arts. Did you like the life of a student? Do you still have a student’s sensibility?
RKG: I’m now longer student. But I am still a library person. I like to research. I am much happier doing that than almost anything else.
I hated being a student, until I went to Boston University to study Creative Writing. I was very shy, and I couldn’t talk in class. Being in the poetry program was my best experience.
DH: Now you are a teacher. You have to get up in front of a whole class.
RKG: For some reason that’s really easy. After the Creative Writing degree I could suddenly talk for some reason. I think because I was surrounded by people who understood me, and I understood them. I care a lot about what students are thinking. I feel like we are connected by some strange truth. It’s just fun.
DH: Can you tell us about your experience at the world-renowned Boston University Creative Writing Program where you earned your M.A.?
RKG: The way I got into it was bizarre. I was at the train station waiting to go to Concord when I saw the former Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky, who teaches at B.U. I really didn’t know much about him at the time. I said to him:” You are a poet aren’t you? Can I send you some stuff?” I was fearless and naïve. He( thank heaven) read it, and invited me to sit in on the program. I was a secretary at MIT at the time. I would go to MIT at 7 AM, then go to class, and then back to MIT. He suggested I apply for the program. I was there for a year and a half…a year as an official student. For me it felt like magic. Pinsky’s integrity about poems really having to be about something was an influence on me. I studied with Derek Walcott, the Nobel Prize Winner. It was wonderful.
DH: You have an extensive background in the theatre. How do you incorporate that into your poetry?
RKG: I was essentially a director of theatre. Actors make physical something that is on the page. I think this “physicality” is what appeals to me in both.
DH: As a poet, who is your favorite playwright?
RKG: I was heading towards saying Harold Pinter as my favorite playwright. Samuel Beckett is the other one.
DH: You have read at the “Bay State Correctional Facility” How did you get involved with this and what was the experience like?
RKG: I got involved through B.U. I read “Dunkin’ Donuts…” there. It was a strange experience. I was outside, inside and outside again. I felt disconnected. But they were a very interested audience.
DH: Close observation is an important tool for poetry. How do you focus in a world of distractions?
RKG:. When I write poetry, I’m not exactly focusing, it’s just coming in. I don’t know where it comes from.
DH: You have been a resident in a number of prestigious writers retreats like the “MacDowell Colony,” and “Bread Loaf.” Do these settings foster good work?
RKG: At “MacDowell,” I lived in the cottage where the composer Aaron Copeland stayed. It was a little too quiet for me. I had to get out to meet people. I love being in the mountains but I still neede the company of other people. This environment fostered some good work for me. “MacDowell” is a deeply supportive place for artists.
“”Bread Loaf,” is very social. You have conferences; you talk to people, etc…

R.D. Armstrong and the return of the LUMMOX Magazine
When I first started the Lummox Press back in 1994, I still had my health and a job as a self-employed handyman. At that point, Lummox was a way to offset the costs of submitting poetry to magazines, etc. The Internet hadn’t really caught on yet and the idea of submission via email was still in its infancy. Now, it’s nearly twenty years later and I can’t imagine life without email or the cloud or all the other amazing things that we take for granted now, but that seemed so incredible back then, granted, there are still no flying cars, but…
Now, what defines my health has changed and I don’t really make much money as a handyman anymore, but the one constant in my life is my Lummox Press. It is my primary source of income and I feel as if I am on the verge of something incredible: a chance to actually make a living publishing what I love and want to – POETRY. Is it so far-fetched to think that this is possible? Most people I talk to about it seem to think so. But, maybe because I’m a dreamer, I think it can be done. All I know is that at the moment, the Lummox Press is working, and so am I.
LUMMOX magazine or LUMMOX, the anthology (I’m still not sure what to call it), is the latest in a series of attempts on my part to showcase the poetic talent that is thriving in this country and beyond. Back in the mid-nineties, I used to publish a little magazine (5.5 X 8.5 inches), with between 24 and 56 pages, which “explored the creative mind.” I did it monthly for eight years and bimonthly for three more. I’m still proud of my commitment to that monthly schedule…not bad for a slacker! The Lummox Journal paid for itself and even showed a modest profit, but eventually I lost interest in it. So at the end of 2006, it ended.
I felt bad about that, though most of my subscribers seemed to understand. I was burned out. I wanted to do something else. I needed a break. It was time to move on. Which I did. A few years later I began publishing a series of trade paperbacks by up and coming (mostly) poets. At the end of that year, my health took a dramatic turn and my life began to fall apart. But the one thing that held together was my belief in the Lummox Press. It has been my rock to cling to in times of self-doubt or when others have turned against me.
Over the past 4 years, I have put together an impressive catalog of over 30 titles in this particular series (with many more on the way). The jewel in this particular crown is the new annual magazine called LUMMOX. It is like the old Lummox Journal but on steroids! It has interviews, and essays, and reviews, and artwork, but mostly it has poetry…lots of poetry from all over the world! I hope the next issue will have even more from other countries world-wide and that LUMMOX will truly become a vehicle for poets worldwide to share their visions with each other.

Jim Vrabel: Putting Berryman's The Dream Songs on Stage
Jim Vrabel is a local historian and the author of When In Boston: A Timeline & Almanac (Northeastern University Press). He is co-author of John Paul II: A Personal Portrait of the Pope and the Man (St. Martin’s Press).
A long-time neighborhood activist and former city official in Boston, he now lives in Brookline, Massachusetts.
Jim attended the Graduate School of English at the University of Iowa, which is where he first encountered John Berryman’s Dream Songs. After expecting others to do it, he composed Homage to Henry: A Dramatization of John Berryman’s The Dream Songs, an 80-minute one-man play by taking some 90 of the most brilliant and autobiographical of the songs - in whole or in part - re-ordering them and adding a very few lines of connecting text.
The play received a staged reading at the Charlestown Working Theater, and has been performed for the Association of Literary Scholars, Critics and Writers at Boston University and at the Oberon Theater as a benefit for the Grolier Poetry Book Shop in Cambridge.
Paul Mariani, Berryman’s biographer and a poet himself, calls Homage to Henry “a sad and very human story, as stark in its way as anything in Samuel Beckett.”
I talked with Vrabel on my Somerville Community Access TV show: Poet to Poet: Writer to Writer.
Doug Holder: You are not a poet--yet you wrote play based on the character of Henry from John Berryman's poetic work The Dream Songs. And you made this play accessible. Do you think that is a problem with poetry--that it is not accessible for the non-poet?
Jim Vrabel: Well I think so. A lot of modern poetry, like modern art, is very inaccessible to the layperson. And this is a problem. It cuts your audience down.
DH: Does it have to be inaccessible to be good?
JV: No, Billy Collins and Sharon Olds, two very celebrated poets, are very accessible. And again the problem may be the academic business. The way to make a living as a writer is through teaching and the academy, and then you before you know it you are down that path.
DH: How did you decide what to keep and what not to keep from The Dream Songs in your play Homage to Harry?
JV: I wanted it to work as a play. Originally I had another character from The Dream Songs but I couldn't make it work. So I put all the poems on the wall and started to arrange things and saw what worked and what didn't.
And this is what I came up with.
DH: Was Henry Berryman's alter ego?
JV: I can't figure it out--but I don't think you need to figure it out. I think you should first appreciate Henry and the character just for what they are. It's the words---it is the way he uses words that is important.
DH: Well if Henry was an alter ego for Berryman--then like Berryman he might be in his early 40's, the age in which Berryman wrote this work. Henry talked as if it was all over--although he was a relatively young man. Do you think Berryman depression came into play?
JV: I think it was his depression. He could have had many more years ahead of him. There were many references to suicide in the poems.
DH: Why do you think so many poets and writers are afflicted by this?
JV: I think they see more and feel more than the rest of the world. And sometimes that is too hard to take. The gift is if they can write about it well.
DH: Henry like Berryman seemed to be very competitive with other poets.
JV: Yes. He mentions other poets in the poems. Take Dylan Thomas, he describes him as: " The doomed bard roaming down the thirsty West." And Eliot: " The subtle American banker man." And Pound: " The lunatic." Robert Lowell: " The Bostonian, rugged, grand, and sorrowful." And of course Frost: "The sage." I think Berryman would like to put himself among these guys.
DH: Jim you are a historian as well. In fact the abridged version of your historical timeline of the City of Boston When in Boston is coming out soon. What was one of the more interesting events you covered in the book?
JV: Yes it is a timeline from before Boston was founded to the present. One of my favorite events was when Whitman came to Boston and Emerson tried to convince him to take all the explicit references out of Leaves of Grass. They walked around for hours but of course Whitman was not convinced.

The Briar Patch Selected Poems & Translations By J. Kates
The Briar Patch
Selected Poems & Translations
By J. Kates
Hobblebush Books
Brookline, New Hampshire
www.hobblebush.com
These poems by J. Kates pay attention in an unblinking way to the human condition. Their sometimes prickly, sometimes witty observations on life and art dance with stark, often startling insight. Kates uses rhyme, off-rhyme, and other formalist techniques with a light touch, bringing out the poetic moments, not overwhelming them. His dramatic details strike honest notes, whether he is bemoaning democracy’s wasting effect on artistry, recording the passionate violence in a lovers’ quarrel, or looking down a gun’s barrel. The poet’s introductory title piece sets the tone and it is, in its way, too true. He says,
… Everything’s attached.
In the briar patch whichever way
you turn, somebody gets scratched.
From the beginning of this book Kates seems to inject a bit of old time religion. The concept of predestination is trotted out front and center. Universal creation cues ennui. Even human tragedy and evil one generally expects as part of life. As you are slowing down looking at the next horrendous crack up, you hear the poetic traffic cop exclaim, “Nothing to see here; move along.” In the poem Six-Day Wonder, Kates describes the humdrum,
… The celebrated night-
and-day dichotomy had praise
from man, the delegate, whose chief end
was to make glory of all this
orderly chaos and pretend
that a small part of it was his.
The sun in place, nothing was new
under it. The stars were moved
because there was nothing else to do
but love, and be loved.
Notice the word pretend. In the poet’s predictable world, man must still pretend that he controls something, anything.
The poem entitled Range nicely connects the moving parts of our world. The author explains,
arrow and bow are not estranged—
archer and target shaft and field are brought
together by letting go,
and what the bowstring whispered in my ear
at that one instant they all know.
Life and art are part of the same picture. The whispering bowstring suggests the artist’s muse. Almost a companion piece to this poem is If Achilles Were a Point, another poem with movable parts. Here Kates portrays his version of Zeno’s paradox. He shows Achilles chasing his tortoise over the impossible infinite distance he must traverse by halves. The twist comes when the poet lets love into the equation and love conquers yet another man-made logic. Achilles, according to Kates, wants the tortoise shell as a love offering. The poet puts it this way,
{Achilles}, as the distance
narrowed by halves,
plunged his arms forward
into the illogic of victory
Pre-Christmas jingling songs depress this writer as it does many others. He wants relief from the predictable and the humdrum. In the poem Advent he even cites Yeats’ Second Coming—the beast slouching towards Bethlehem to no avail. But he still hopes. Here is how the poem ends:
The jingling songs we’re sick of,
not even a rough beast slouching
unless the wet cats
crying to be fed
or a special election
with no one special running.
Nothing is dry enough to burn.
We wait on the event
to make a season of these days:
a drop in temperature
crystallizing rain
to the snow it started out as,
that we had given up expecting.
The poem entitled The Genuine Monets compares the original paintings of the French impressionist that are kept in secure museums under scientific light to cheap prints of the same artist hanging presumably in the poet’s bedroom. Kates describes his cheap print this way,
…I have a poster
Of the pond with waterlilies
That I picked up at the Coop
For a dollar fifty.
And moving sunlight dances
every hour a different dance
around my waterlilies.
The shadow of the wooden bridge
alters with each cloud
outside my window.
A statue falls to begin the poem In Interesting Times. The falling statue of course represents liberation and the benefits therein. Kates suggests that liberation is not always conducive to the dynamic of art. In fact quite the opposite. Other things capture the imagination in a newly freed society. Porn for one. The poet complains,
…liberation wore thin
as the new flood of sleazy magazines
that showed nothing but skin, always more skin—
where was the blood?
Kates has a way of turning passion into detail and interesting detail at that. Two poems especially struck me: Weapons and Man with a Gun. In weapons the poet describes the household item thrown during a fight. He lists books and food and facts and ideas. Each item is hurtful in its own unique way. The poet makes that clear in his last stanza,
of all our effects
none is harmless.
This axe I sharpen
Is an eight-pound maul.
During the free verse piece Man with a Gun the man vanishes. The gun speaks , the gun threatens, and the gun controls. The poet records each detail,
The gun says
Give me all your money.
I have none.
Except for the jagged hole
The gun is speaking through
The window shows nothing
But my own reflection…
The poetic force here powers over fear and delivers.
The last section in this impressive book includes a set of translations. My favorite is Lamentation In Captivity by Richard the Lionhearted. Richard complains that he has not yet been ransomed by his brother King John et al. The verse is tightly structured, metered, and rhymed--almost a prison for Richard. He tries to be witty and subtle but teeters on the edge of losing it. This is a very, very well done piece. Great book!

Oct. 2012....... $15 go to http://www.lulu.com/ibbetsonpress to order
"Burnham’s poems of sea-washed peace are formal, precise
in description, and elegant. His care for language and his
exquisite ear make the poems a gift for any reader."Bert Stern, Off the Grid Press
"Why Read Poetry? Because poetry is singing on paper and it
soothes, stirs, opens the eyes and heart of the reader. And
Philip Burnham’s way of seeing and singing is the canny
sailor’s way…whose heart is lifted sailing into New York
harbor (in “Good Morning, Alice”) lifted only to be broken
“On Pemaquid Beach” and healed with ”After Isaiah.”
Burnham’s poems will also win admiration for their subtle
classic forms."Diana Der-Hovanessian, President,
New England Poetry Club
"Philip Burnham’s poems have a slow-building intensity to
them, a quiet meditative force that gathers from the first
few lines and takes the reader into the heart of his experiences
of nature, love, history, and place. Shore Lines is a
rich trove of the well-observed and the deeply felt."Adam Haslett,

Dear FAOA Member,
As the current FAOA Board of Governors (BOG), winds down its 3-year term, as called for in the FAOA Charter, we are preparing to hold new BOG elections in August 2012. Our election committee, headed by BOG member John Haseman, has sent communications on this and is currently taking nominations for through 1 July 2012. FAOA is in need of enthusiastic and qualified volunteers to serve on the BOG, as several officer positions and seats will be opening. As the election approaches, I would like to provide an update to the membership on the many successes of the current BOG in building the Association into the premier organization for advocating for the FAO field within the U.S. military and government; providing social, sustainment, and networking opportunities for current, new, and retired FAOs and associates; and mentoring and developing new FAOs.
First of all, our Annual FAO Black Tie Banquet was again a big success with over 200 in attendance to hear James R. Clapper, Director of National Intelligence and to meet old and new colleague in the historic charm of the Old Clubhouse of the Army Navy Country Club (ANCC) before its demolition in summer 2012. Thanks to those who took the time to respond to our on-line survey for the FAOA Dinnerundefinedwe received over 30 respondents who all provided great feedback to help us with planning for the 2013 FAOA Black Tie Formal Banquet, which will be held in at the new ANCC Clubhouse at a date to be announced. We also hope to see as many members as possible at our next event on 21 Juneundefinedback by popular demand, the “FAOA on Tap” Happy Hour at Sines Irish Pub at Pentagon Row. Details and registration for the event are at www.faoa.org.
Our FAOA Editor in Chief, Mr. Coyt Hargus, has put together another excellent journal this quarter, which unfortunately will be his last, as he is preparing to attend Senior Developmental Education at the Air War College. Coyt and his editorial board have continued to raise the bar with each new edition. We will greatly miss having Coyt at the helm of the FAO Journal, and on behalf of the FAOA BOG and membership, would like to profusely thank him for the outstanding work he has done taking the Journal to the level of a highly-subscribed, “peer reviewed” professional trade journal. In fact, we are now being contacted by publication sponsor organizations that would like to promote and offer the FAO Journal to a wider domestic and international individual and institutional subscriber base.
I would also like to take this opportunity to highlight a few other ongoing FAOA special programs and supporting committees. The FAOA Writing and Research Awards program has been enthusiastically received by the Professional Military Education and National Defense institutes. Currently, we have MOAs and active award programs with Air University, Marine Corps University, Naval War College, Joint Forces Staff College, and the National Intelligence University; and continue to pursue Award programs with Army War College, National Defense University, and Naval Post-Graduate School. Award winning and other worthy student papers will be published in special editions of “International Affairs.” I would like to thank Jonathon Sachar for serving as Chairman of the Awards Committee.
We also had an enthusiastic response to our membership call for volunteers for the FAO Heritage Display Committee at the Pentagon. FAOA is collaborating with the DoD FAO Program Manager, the Defense Language and National Security Education Office, on this long overdue project recognizing the history, development, and contributions of Joint service FAO programs and individuals. James Shelton and Jeff Hoffmann are serving as co-chairman of the Display Committee.
In early 2012, FAOA will co-sponsor a fantastic FAO-related conference together with the National Military Intelligence Agency (NMIA), with the working title: “Partner Engagement and Global Coverage under the New Defense Plan: FAOs, Security Cooperation, and the Defense Attaché System.” David Lovato has volunteered to head the FAOA Conference Committee working with the NMIA on this event.
Lastly, the FAOA Scholarship for Excellence in International Affairs, through the Military Officer’s Association of America (MOAA), is well underway. Our first scholarship winner will be announced in July prior to the start of the 2012/2013 academic year. We continue to solicit and accept donations to the FAOA Scholarship Fund.
I have been proud and pleased to serve as the President of the Association, and have strived to make FAOA relevant and advantageous to your job, profession, career and social networking. Please contact me with any comments, questions, or suggestions at president@faoa.org or by phone at 703-853-0928.

Ignore the legaleeze for a second.
Who owns Traveller? Marc Miller. Who has he given permission to make Traveller stuff? Mongoose. Who controls Mongoose? Matt. Does Matt want you to do this? Apparently not. So, yes, it's the honorable thing to not do it.
Matt isn't telling you not to make non-Traveller planet generation software. Just Traveller software.
I may agree with the strict legal interpretation posted above, but it is pretty simple determining what the right thing to do is. Intent of the law vs. word of the law.

Tay, my rant was not directed at you, neither for doing the software in the first place, nor for approaching Matt to work out what has proven to be a satisfactory resolution to the issue. I am assuming that your approach to Matt was not one based on the thesis "You can't tell me not to release this; the OGL says I can, and rules/processes can't be copyrighted anyway!", as it appeared some in this thread were advocating; rather, I am assuming that you approached him saying "I'd like to understand what your objection is; here's what I've done, and these are my sources; can we work something out?" THAT is the approach that I would advocate; it has a fundamentally better chance of favorable results.
By all means, understand the details of the relevant license(s), whether TLL, OGL, FFSL, Traveller Fair-Use, or whatever. Disagree with the licensor's interpretation, if appropriate. But resolve the difference of opinion politely and with a cooperative approach, not with a combative approach as appeared to me to be what was advocated from certain quarters. THAT approach is, IMO, more likely to result in Matt - or Steve, or Marc - saying "Enough of this, shut it all down, I don't want to keep dealing with this." Likely? I don't think so, given the past support for fanac in the Traveller community. But not out of the realm of possibility; the industry is rife with stories - admittedly, mostly from early days, and centered on one or two particularly egregious examples - in which licensors tried to completely bar fanac. But in an era where some industry associations have won outrageous judgements against individuals whose "offender" status was questionable, can you really afford to count on a history of forbearance? Especially when "open source", "crowd source", and "fair use" are under attack? It wouldn't take more than one counter-incident...
Tay, when you are ready to distribute your program, I would welcome the opportunity to host it in Freelance Traveller's Computer Connection. Please contact me via email (editor@freelancetraveller.com) if you are interested.

You've got a hell of a nerve to ask him that, given that you still haven't apologized for your behavior (all you've done is make excuses for it).
All you did was project your own misplaced paranoia about how it would affect your magazine, and now you're trying to weasel out of what you said earlier. Nobody (not even me) suggested that anybody should be aggressive about this, but fact is that if someone demands something you may need to confront them about their demands to see if they have the authority to make them. It's quite possible to confront them "politely"... but there are no "negotiations" required here - Mongoose needed to explain their justification for demanding that he stop work on his software, and once it was shown that their interpretation was incorrect, they needed to back down from their demands that they had no authority to make. It is that simple.

No, because the legalese is what matters.
The right thing to do is to stand up for your rights and challenge people who are making demands, which is what Tay did - sometimes it may turn out that they do have the authority to make those demands, and other times (such as this instance) they do not. The wrong thing to do is buckle without question when someone demands something, because if they don't have the authority to do that then they can just keep doing that and get away with it.
And maybe "Matt isn't an attorney", but you'd think that a publisher who released that material under specific licenses would have a basic understanding of how they worked. Or would have got a lawyer to go over them for him and explain it to him so that they understood exactly what they were doing.

Sometimes "doing the right thing" and "following the legalese" do actually coincide. But it seems in your world people just buckle when someone demands they do something, and pay licensing fees when they don't have to. So I'm glad I live in my world and not yours .

One thing to keep in mind when it comes to the law is that there are two ways to address any issue. The first being the actual law, and using the law as it is written and accepted as a way to defend yourself (or to go after someone else, depending on what position you are in). This sometimes involves lawyers, courts, judgements, etc.
The second, and one that is far more prevalent than anyone truly realizes, is to bluff your way to getting your way. Many people, upon seeing/hearing a seemingly well-designed argument that looks and sounds legal will back off, fearing legal action. And, depending on how important this is, and how much your attorney will charge you, they'll go further and threaten using legal letterhead and a real lawyer. But notice that they haven't filed suit... Which generally means they either have a weak case, or they are bluffing. Again, most people will feel wary and threatened enough to back off and not pursue it further unless (like Freetrav) feel very, very personal about the issue. At times like that your zeal to defend yourself can be both a blessing and a curse. Generally speaking, of course.
Most laws are written so that if you take a little bit of time, you can unwind the legalese and figure out just what the hell they say/mean. And when someone threatens you with legal action, and especially if they did not provide the statute / law they are citing... chances are they are trying to bluff you into backing down. If the DO provide the information, then its easy enough to see if they are blowing smoke or not.
But the internet is your friend. As I posted earlier in this thread, YOU can easily research the law and see if what you are doing violates it (in this case, its Copyright law). A search engine should be your second best cousin. With it you can research case law, previous cases, previous rulings, etc. Don't be afraid to use it.
At the end of the day, this is all about a game. For MgT and Mark Miller, its also about commerce. So they do have a reasonable view (and legal position) to defend their business. In this case it would appear that no law was broken, no license violated. A simple request was enough to end the desire to share. But further review, and some squawking, seems to have shown that this was a "misunderstanding". Which is often how things like this get resolved.
There will be more of these incidents in the future, and that's good. Because it means that the user community is participating in the game and sharing for the enjoyment and betterment of all. This can drive interest, which can drive sales, which means the publisher is incentivized to continue to support the game.
Everyone wins (usually!).

Please could everyone knock it on the head. The isuue regarding release has been resolved between myself and Matt and it is was done in a professional and polite way.
I will post further updates here on the App, because its only V1 and it will grow and change.

Welcome Vecino!!!
I believe he is a great addition to our roster. He will do great for us!! I believe that!
Just another kuzmanovic.
Its funny how we went for the best players in their positions in the world (arguably), and after we failed for radja and vidal, we went for another kuzmanovic from uruguay...
Yeah sorry for not being able to share your enthusiasm guys
Yes you're right, he is another Kuzmanovic.:awyeah:
Seriously , you can be pessimist , but certainly not at the point of saying nonsense.
Excellent signing for us in our situation.

nice to see you in Inter shirt.

What does he add to this team to be excited about?
Which of our midfielders is he an improve over?
CoolMan44
Brozovic and Kondogbia easily. He's also probably currently better than Gagliardini, but I like Gagliardini a lot and think he has very high potential.
He add consistency , regularity , technicality and complementarity with Valero.
La Brujita
After opposing Skriniar, I can only have an opinion of a player which I've never really paid attention to after a few games.
Let's see how this goes and hope he's another Skriniar.
He will come good. Welcome!

Cautiously excited about this one. The only thing that I'm worried about is Gagliardini missing out on playing time, as I really like him and want him to develop. Regardless, solid signing.
PHM1605
1'36: #Interiscumming :fap:
So our midfield is now 2/3 the midfield of the team that finished 8th.
Again what is there to be excited about? Fiorentina should be the ones celebrating right now. They're making more money for their underachievers than we're able to get for ours.
Candreva Crosses
Who the fuck is this guy?
javier_zanetti <3
in summer 2015, Juve bought Palermo top scorer (Dybala), and this summer they bought a winger for 40M from "the team that finished 8th".
Spalletti and Sabatini knows much better than you all what they are doing.
in summer 2015, Juve bought Palermo top scorer, and this summer they bought a winger for 40M from "the team that finished 8th".
Truth. And by this convoluted "fiorentina finished 8th logic" - we or ac milan would be fools to try and go get belotti because great - you got the striker for the team that finished 9th.
So what if we buy from club finished 8th place in serie a , as long he can help us to get CL place.
Did we buy Diego Milito from Genoa?.. he is our treble heroes, without him we never get treble.
Should we prefer Pepe over Skriniar just because he is from Real Madrid?
Sabatini and Spaletti know Vecino is what we need in midfield, so the hater just watch and learn why we buy him in next match, just as we doubt about Valero and Skriniar, and Praise them when we watch preseason against Bayern and Chelsea.
Ratsys
they dont have money to buy top player but spending 24 mil on a player worth max 5 mil. another de roon like :lol:. vecino for 24 is a move i would expect from some dumb EPL team, but hey OKAY
M.Adnan
Some of the posts here making irrelevant criticsm towards Vecino.
Remember that Nainggolan was bought at almost the same age by the same people who made this deal and for a higher price from Cagliari. I'd wait to actually see what the guy has to offer in Spalletti's system before passing judgements so I won't have to eat my words later.
My only criticism for now is that, unlike Nainggolan, he's bought in straight deal (no loan) for a higher price than his reputation. His wages are also undeserved without proving anything here yet. There's no excuse for giving him such high wages. No one was compteting with us anyway to sign him and he's moving to a bigger club.
interista4
Are we still going with this silly Inter is coming nonesense? Talk on the pitch please, not on social media.
Welcome Vecino, however I'm still not sure on this one.
We buy him when Fiorentina 100% don't wanna sell him cause Fio already sell many player,
and we pay him 12 million 2 times payment, not one payment for 24 million.
I think this is good deal considering inflation today. 24 Million for a player from club Fiorentina is normal.
Imagine if he from Lazio, sure we can't get him for 24 million.
I don't know about wage, but if Gabigol earn so much .. so don't wonder we give big wage to Vecino.
This deal remind me when Sabatini buy Strootman not Nainggolan.
I think Vecino will ultilized like Strootman in Roma.
There are not many complete player like Nainggolan or Vidal.
Dybala was like you said their top scorer and best player and it was clear to everyone that saw him he was going to be a star.
Vecino on the other hand is average. He wasn't Fiorentina's best player. He's never excelled at anything.
After being linked to the likes of Vidal and Naingolan, ending up with Vecino is sad. Its like those kids who asked their parents for a PS2 back in the day and got this.
http://mygaming.co.za/news/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/detalhe-da-embalagem-do-polystation-2-e-seus-acessorios-1368136567404_956x500-e1440844464919.jpg
Watched him enough on Fiorentina. An okay player, but not a game changer by any means. I believe we could have done a lot better for that stiff price we paid. On the other hand, he's determined and tries his best at all times, which is more than we can say about certain members of our squad.
Welcome, and good luck on your new journey.
If you don't know who this guy check this ..
Vecino joined Fiorentina back in January of 2013 as a 22-year-old trequartista noted for his shooting and creative passing. We never really saw that, and he went on loan to Cagliari in 2014 and Empoli in 2015. It was that latter move that saw him blossom, as Sarri figured out that the youngster was a dynamo box-to-box operator, the type who leads the team in distance covered and passes made.
that from :
https://www.violanation.com/fiorentina-transfer-rumors-news-reports/2017/8/1/16078846/fiorentina-matias-vecino-inter-milan-official-transfer-signing-buy-sell-sale
maybe the reason we buy him cause he is perfect partner for Valero.
connorconnor12
i love the headline on the fiorentina website, "further evidence that, no matter how bad it gets, it can always get worse."
Come on man! I agree with you that Vecino could turn out to be useful but you can't compare him to Nainngolan. At the time Nainngolan's quality was undeniable; he was one of the best midfielders in Serie A and his price actually made sense. You can't compare him to Vecino who's been absolutely unnoticeable.
danz
Lol many pessimistic ppl here. Give him a chance ffs. Speaking about proven or un proven players, what about candrefuck? He was proven enough , but turn to brainless player here as well. So?
Mods please add the poll.
Never forget who you are.
qb4ever_2k
I’m confused, why do people think he’s expensive? 24m is like 15m a couple years back.
Fapuccino
72 is the new 56.
Efrain21C
If Spalleti wanted him at all costs it's a good signing for me, I'm curious to see his contribution to the team and how he's going to shut some people's mouth around here...
Welcome Vecino!
Caen ( finished 17 at League 1 last season) want 10 mln for a player with expiring contract and you are complaining that Vecino is too expensive:palm:
rfU
Solid player, adds much needed depth and stability. I hope this means Kondogbia is on his way out.
I did not watch Fiorentina and know very little about this guy. Who is he like? Is he a Cristiano Zanetti destroyer? A Cambiasso General? A Ze Elias Red Card Waiting to Happen? Where is he most likely going to fit in? What role is he most likely to play? Are we able to move beyond the price of his transfer and talk about him and his possible contribution in a more substantial or detailed manner.
DARi0
Warm welcome Matí :datass:
I wish you good luck in our jersey and may you win important trophies at this club.
:awwyeah: I will quote this just to make sure it won`t be edited :D
Vidal and Radja will both play in UCL, why would they leave their clubs for us? Frankly I never wanted Vidal for his juBe past, big wage and questionable potential commitment to our colors. It`s better to raise our own stars that blossom under our shirt.
Chelsea and Man Utd also failed for Radja, it`s just how the transfer market works, get over it. We should have signed him in the 1st place when Roma got him, but Thohir avoided making this investment [he`s sadly clueless about football]. So that`s why we signed Sabatini, to avoid future mistakes like this.
I for one trust Sabatini and Matías Vecino looks impecable so far, doing nothing wrong - which is really valuable if you want to retain posession. He also has a great shot [unlike Joao Mario for that price!!!!] - just look how easily he scored 2 goals against us W-XUMx3hZlE
Adding the fact that he`s already very familiar with Borja Valero is another bonus, as they will instantly link up.
CafeCordoba
Corriere Della Sera says the base salary is 1.5m and with bonuses it can reach the 3m mark.
And welcome Vecino!

MATIAS VECINO IS NOW A NERAZZURRI PLAYER!
The Uruguayan midfielder has signed a contract with Inter for the next four seasons
MILAN - Matias Vecino is now officially a new Inter player. The Uruguayan midfielder has signed a contract with the Nerazzurri until 30th June 2021.
Born in Canelones on the 24th August 1991, Vecino spent the first stages of his professional career with Central Español, making his Primera Divison debut back on March 7th 2010 (aged 18-years and six months). After making 32 appearances and scoring two goals, he then went on to represent Uruguay at the Under-20 World Cup in the summer of 2011, subsequently earning a move to Nacional. With them he won his first title as a player, helping the team become champions of Uruguay on 15th June 2012, notably thanks to a goal scored by an old Nerazzurri icon, Alvaro Recoba.
Fiorentina soon became aware of the player’s qualities and brought him to Italy back in January 2013, making his Serie A debut during the 2013-14 campaign. On 26th September 2013, Vecino made his first appearance at the Scala Del Calcio, as the Viola faced off against Inter. On his travels in Italy, he continued his development with both Cagliari - making nine appearances and scoring two goals between January and May of 2014 - and in particular Empoli, where he played a key role under the guidance of former coach Maurizio Sarri.
Having witnessed his progression, Fiorentina soon decided to bring him back to the club, with the 25-year-old midfielder going on to spend two seasons at the Stadio Artemio Franchi and becoming one of the most reliable midfielders in Serie A.
Welcome to Milan, Matias, and best of luck with your new adventure at the Nerazzurri!
http://www.inter.it/en/news/59155/Matias-Vecino-is-now-a-Nerazzurri-player-
Welcome Vecino.
But if our next signing wont be a fullback I might start worrying about our season.
I can`t wait until he makes his contesters shut up with his consistent performances on the pitch :cool:
Many are worried that they never heard of him, but that`s the way to go if you want good players for reasonable prices. People need to chill as we have Sabatini now taking care of the transfers. :datass:
+1, there are many divergent opinions on him, so let`s vote for fun in the future.
I think he will bring a lot of stability and consistency to our team, I see confidence and calmness in his play. His biggest asset is that he does not fuck up and does not lose a lot of balls, he works in the system for the system.
CesfPP3xW5E
PS: I see that nobody mentioned that he chose to wear jersey #6.
i can already give my vote: 6.5. and if i'm forced to chosse between 6 and 7, it's 7, but not a very convinced 7.
i don't want to sound like a negative nancy but that's my vote. dear vecino, fell free to make me eat my words.
second comment under the post on twitter: "announce keita and vidal or the cat will remain in the cage". :lol:

What number is he taking
1.) This guy will be a very important player, mark my words
2.) 24 millions (12 + 12) is a steal
3.) This guy is fucking handsome, I wonder why nobody noted that before... :work:
4.) The other guy on this picture should be miles away from our club :yao:
_OC_
Just look at that white tablecloth, we trollin' the shit out of, uhh... Pro Vercelli.
Because 11-12 millions a couple years back would have been more than enough for an industrious yet almost anonymous player.
kameru
Can't remember who using number 6 before? Djorkaeff?
Fiorentina's issue was never their midfield. In fact I remember their midfield playing Juve's off the park in round 1 last season
brakbrak
Watched few clips on youtube, dont you guys think he is very similar to kova playstyle? Grab ball from mid and make dribble and running all by himself. But his passing skill better than kova, including his long pass. Quite impressive

Welcome to the greatest club in Italy, Matias :thumbsup:
Here's a complete list:

I don't know anything about him. I hope the best for him in Inter, but I would rather have defensive minded midfielder because, except Medel, our midfielders are not excel in defence.
Also, I hope we can quickly offload our surplus midfielders such as Brozovic and Medel because we already have too many central midfielders.
He's definitely not average. Not a world beater, but a very good player. And judging him based on how Fiorentina finished last season is ridiculous. Using that logic, we shouldn't be asking anywhere near 50 million for Perisic since we finished 7th in a shitty Serie A.
We've had a number of important players from teams that are below Fiorentina in the past like Icardi, T. Motta, Milito, Palacio. It's not as if T. Motta was considered a world beater by anyone here when we bought him. I'd actually put Vecino similar to him in terms of how valued they were before moving to Inter.
If he ends up being like Thiago Motta then I'll happily eat my words.
If we end up selling Kondogbia because of him, then I'll happily eat my words..
If neither occur then I guess we're used to mediocrity by now.
Big Willy
It was Real Madrid dude, that fuckers wanted to steal the deal.
Welcome Matthew Neighbor.
the last time we bought two player from the same team it ended pretty well that season, hopefully it will repeated this season.

I actually propose that FIF should consider changing the most pessimistic icon from a thumbs down to just... Nyall.
I would call it another functional declaration of intent that reads: "We're gonna (try to) play football next season".
Time to use that addictive cartoon effect on a few more players.
begs the question how I share the award with him...FEEF be drunk
Welcome Matias.
crzdcolombian
we paid 24 million for him !!! OMG !!! WHY !! and we can't get 20 for Candeva, 13 for Jovetic, 12 for Murillo, 9 for Banega but paid 24 million for this fking guy !!!
I mean I am really really trying to be optimistic about him and next season ...... but man WTF !!!
A Medel with better tactical awareness? I remember watching him playing against Italy recently, he did nothing spectacular but perhaps without him doing final intercepts, Uruguay would have lost more than just 0-2. So, no Pirlo and no Motta here, just a better Medel in term of both skill and brain? And so Valero does not have to do too much dirty work recovering the ball, as he has done so magnificently vs. Chelsea. Don't expect anything over-reaching, but a more balanced and more secure defensive complex with him and perhaps a more durable Valero?
No, we pay 12 + 12. :serious:
He is no Medel, his off ball runs and movements are great, he can actually cause some decent threat in the attack.
He's more like an all rounder like Benassi but better at recovering the ball, and off ball movement.
He'a more like Damiano Tommasi but better hair.
He is more like Messi, but without being a constant goal threat and without being an attacker, but with better tackling.
An article by Michael Yokhin (Israeli - Russian writer that write to the Guardian, ESPN and etc) about Vecino's move to Inter. He wrote it in hebrew so i translated it in google translate and than i tried to improved it. I hope it's good enough:
When Fiorentina last year extended Matthias Vesino's contract to 2011 with a release clause of 24 million euros, it assumed it might be enough.
However, in terms of the current market it was too low. Luciano Spalletti asked explicitly, and Inter put on the table the amount required to win the services of the Uruguayan midfielder. The deal was finally completed yesterday, and it may not have made a very large media noise, but it can certainly be revealed as one of the most important moves of the summer in Italy. The constant improvement of Vesino's game may send him to the status of a real star, and the black-blue Milanese receive a gifted architect in the center of the field.
Even the great Uruguayan maestro gave the blessing of the road. Before the move he consulted and screened with Alvaro Recoba, one of the most beloved and admired foreigners in Inter's history. The young midfielder had a chance to play with El Chino in Nacional at the beginning of the decade, and the big star took him under his wing. Recoba encouraged the initial move to Florence in 2013, and now declared that his good friend was making the right move with the move to San Siro. "I know how important Albrus was for Inter," he said. As a modest man, he does not pretend to approach his level, but promises to do the work for Spalletti who intends to give him the keys in the center of the field. "I will do whatever the coach asks me to," declared the precious procurement.
This is exactly what he did in previous years in Italy, and this contributed greatly to his professional development. When he played in his native country, he was incorporated and filtered mainly as a Plymaker behind the pioneers or as a wing player - just as Recoba, which he tried to emulate. His inspiration was Zinedine Zidane. He took part in his youth group, Central Espanyol, from which he reached the Youth National team. He took part in the U20 South American Championship and scored the winning goal against Argentina which paved the way for the Olympic Games in London for the first time since 1928.
And before the flattering headlines he received then, a great bidding war broke out between the two grand clubs, Nacional and Penarol, over the services of the wonderkid who claimed that Zinedine Zidane was his prodigy. The whites were proud to take him to their ranks, but were forced to sell him to Fiorentina after a year and a half, and in Italy he found coaches who completely changed his life. After failing to acclimatize as a clear offensive player, Vecino sent to Empoli in loan in 2014/15 and met Mauricio Sarri. This was the season in which the former banker experienced sensational exposure on his way to Napoli, and his contribution to improving Empoli's players was enormous. He moved Vecino to the central midfield in the 3-3-4 formation, and received sufficient compensation. It turned out that this job was sewn on Vecino, and so he returned to Florence.
Sarri was anxious to take him to Napoli, as he had done with Hysaj and Valdifiori, but Fiorentina had entirely different plans. Paulo Sousa signed as coach, and the Portuguese - a great star as a central midfielder himself - knew exactly how to use Vecino. He set him up as a slightly more offensive player in the rear pair, and Vecino bloomed. Soon, he became a key player, was in the vast majority of the purple games in the past two years, and not only Naploli was interested in him. At one point, both Tottenham and Liverpool began to watch him closely, and the Reds' case could have been the closing of a wonderful circle, for Matthias's father had played in Liverpool himself.
Well, in practice it was "only" Liverpool Montevideo in Uruguay, but Mario Vecino was a good player, and from him the son inherited the love for the ball. In his hometown of San Jacinto, Mario was one of the most familiar and dominant characters, and a heavy mourning fell upon her when he was killed in a car accident in 2005. The small local stadium has since been named on him. Matthias, who was 14 at the time of the tragedy, took a long time to recover from it, and he still thinks of Dad constantly. He tattooed his signature on his arm, dedicated his goals to him, and imagined how he would react to his professional accomplishments.
One of the most difficult moments in this context was one of the greatest moments of Vasino when he was called to the national team by Coach Oscar Tabarez in March 2016. Until then, they were reports in Italy that he will play for the national team, because he could easily get citizenship because of his roots, but he was not yet on the right level , Antonio Conte did not think in his direction, and in any case the player declared that he dreamed only of the blue shirt of Uruguay. It was a long waiting, but the compensation was appropriate - premiere in the big battle against Brazil in Recife, in the World Cup qualifiers. It was a great game, Uruguay back from a draw to a dramatic 2:2 draw, and the veteran coach warmly praised his new apprentice after the final whistle, while Vecino thought mostly of Dad: "It hurts that he can not see it, because he would have enjoyed it all."
After the impressive performance, it is impossible to get Vecino out of the national team line up and he will play in next summer's World Cup if Uruguay qualifies for Russia. The move to Inter makes it clear that he can get there as a real star, and ambitions are high. "It's hard to tell if I'm like Sergio Busquets and Tony Cross, but these are the players I follow and try to learn from, they're not physically strong, but they get balls by their game intelligence, they know how to be in the right place at the right time" Says Vecino.
Stefano Pioli, who coached Inter last season and now signed in Fiorentina only to see the 26-year-old Uruguay leave for the ex-team, found another analogy: "Vecino is a great buy for the Nerazzurri, he's fantastic player that worth as Matuidi". This is probably also a better comparison. Spalletti's new star is not a classic regista like Busquets and Kroos, but more portable and burns larger areas during games. He has a good kick from a distance, and he also knows how to sneak into the square, as Inter found out when Fiorentina overcame it 4: 5 April in a particularly crazy game.
Now San Siro hopes that the new acquisition will justify the investment for them as well, and then its price may rise further. Recoba cross fingers
Very interesting reading, gives you an idea of who Vecino is, I remember him playing well for Empoli, but I didn't know he was already owned by Fiorentina in that time
very interesting is when you quote 2km long post above yours
From "I want to be like Zidane" to "I am watching Busquets" in only 3 years.
Only in serie A.
What is wrong in trying to emulate Busquets? Is there a DM more comfortable on the ball than him?
InterFCAustin
I dont think that's the point he's trying to make.
He's making fun of Seria A...being defensive league and stuff, vs the Primera.
Well and without jokes, maybe he felt and understood that he won't become new Zidane so better find more comparable/realistic goal to achieve as a player.
maybe he felt and understood that he won't become new Zidane so better find more comparable/realistic goal to achieve as a player.
I think he meant that he wants to become a great actor.
What is wrong in trying to emulate Busquets?
Most disgusting player after Pavel Nedved in my opinion but that was not the point.
Busquets is like the best in his position putting his theatrics aside, nothing wrong, time to move to the next Gossip for the drama queens here.
How was he today?
TheNetworkZ
He had a really good interception which lead to Jovetic's goal
king_elnino
that's my friend Dream VS Reality.
I just think he means he goes from wanting to be a creative player to watching a player who breaks up play (both immense at what they do/did). He's saying only in Serie A they suck the creativity out of a player, I don't think he was talking about how good either is. His mentality completely changed. He has a point, any time we have creative players at this team they are sent away, it's so frustrating.
Sassuolu
A Busquets gives a Zidane the liberty to do what he does so don't knock Busquets or he'll fall on the ground like a bitch, sorry I still can't compliment that turd.
I thought two commonly used words for creative players, 'trequartista' and 'regista', are in fact Italian words.
That was way before when Capello, Trap, SGE and others where in charge. From all Italians coaches only Mancini lives in that period.
I love how Sarri, Conte or Spaletti have different ideas and all of them are pretty much top coaches.
And I really can't stand Mancini's type of coaches who will every talented midfielder convert into trequartista. He will not even try to learn player to move or run more. He will just give him AM role and instead of creating complete player he will create complete retard.
I feel really bad that Kovacic isn't here with Spaletti because He did wonders with Pjanic and Kovacic is way more complete than Pjanic was when Spaletti started coaching him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-gPnEQnjJ4
Out of all the new players, ironically Valero is the one I'm most looking forward to. Let's see how a Pirlo figure changes this team.
He's been pretty much completely out of my radar. So a couple of question:
Why did we sign him in particular?
Why another midfielder?
Who's idea was it and what's his general expectation under Spalleti?
Probably because with a release clause of 24 million, he was doable and wouldn't cost us as much as other options.
Medel will leave, Kondogbia might do the same. Even if they don't, he's better than the former and won't crumble with high expectations like the latter. Of course, nobody really has high expectations for him, but he'll more likely than not be alright at his job, unlike some overpaid, fancy French wannabes.
Someone at Inter has been watching a lot of Fiorentina matches and got us interested in Vecino and Borja Valero. Sabatini was out of a job before signing for us, so it's probably him. In all honesty, I clearly don't know who asked for him.
Spalletti has used Borja Valero next to Gagliardini against Chelsea in the pre-season, I wonder if Vecino's arrival will mean Valero will play a little further in attack on the pitch, leaving the Uruguayan to partner up with Gagliardini instead.
Poll opened. Will close in 7 days.
VECINO: "I'VE COME TO INTER AT THE RIGHT TIME"
The Uruguayan midfielder responded to questions from fans live on Facebook and Inter Channel
MILAN – Questions rained down upon new signing Matias Vecino as he responded to fans live on the club’s Facebook page and on Inter Channel.
The first question was about fellow Uruguayan Alvaro Recoba who was also a teammate of Vecino’s at Nacional. “El Chino was one of the greatest Uruguayan footballers, as a child I used to follow Inter thanks to him. He had a really incredible foot. He called me as soon as he learnt of my move here, he was a great player and he’s a really great person. It would be nice to make my debut scoring two goals like he did but I play a different role…”
Vecino has arrived at Inter a few days ahead of his 26th birthday. “It’s the right time to arrive at a big team. I have my best years ahead of me as a player. I’ve developed a lot since I’ve been in Italy and now I’ll have to do even better. I was really happy when I heard of interest from Inter and I hoped that negotiations would finish as quickly as possible. There’s little need to think when such a prestigious club contacts you.”
Vecino was also asked about the role he will be used in by Spalletti. “As a young boy, I played as an attacking midfielder but I then moved back, playing as a defensive midfielder or central midfield. I like to get forward in order to exploit space but I’m completely available what the manager wants. Spalletti struck me with the way he teaches football, for his calmness and his ability in communicating his ideas. He wants to start the play from deep which is an idea that I like and am used to.”
The Uruguayan midfielder isn’t worried about the pressure of wearing a Nerazzurri shirt or playing in a stadium such as the San Siro. “It’s normal to feel pressure, we represent a lot of fans but I like to take on responsibility. I put pressure on myself to do better each day and to always improve. To play in a stadium like the San Siro is the dream of any player.”
His impressions of a new dressing room are all very positive: “Everybody has welcomed me very well, especially the South American group and Icardi. There’s a positive atmosphere, we’re training well ahead of the season’s opener. I’ve met up with Borja Valero again here who helped me a lot when I arrived in Florence and I’ve learnt a lot from him on the pitch. He’s a player with great intelligence who always knows what to do. Joao Mario was the player who impressed me the most, he’s very strong and practically knows how to do everything.”
Does he have a favourite player or shirt number? “I choice the number six, because out of all of those available, it’s the number I like the most. I’ve often worn eight in my career but the six is also very good for me. One of my reference points as a player is undoubtedly Juan Sebastian Veron. I’ve always looked to learn something from all of the great players, but he’s certainly the one I’ve followed the most.”
Finally, he shed some light on his personal life. “I have a two-year-old son, I spend my free time with him. I like to watch films and tennis, basically I’m a very laid-back person. Music? I listen to a bit of everything from Uruguayan rock to reggaeton. I’m on Facebook and Twitter. I still don’t have a nickname, you can all choose one…”

maboyfetty
Spallletti specifically requested that we sign Vecino. He's an all-round midfielder who can pass, dribble, and take long shots. He's not as good on the ball as Valero but he's still quite decent and can contribute to protecting the back four as his defensive skills improved during the past two seasons. Valero is old and can't be expected to be starting every game, so Vecino seems like a pretty good signing to me
He changed his number from 6 to 11.
ElDuccio
11?:serious:
He wants to follow in the footsteps of Ricky and Biabiany.
If K-dog doesn't leave, we could have a CM pairing with 7-11 as their numbers.
kurt0411
Why 11....does he think he's some tre quartista?
https://scontent-frt3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/20953620_1539034779450168_5968446411866505091_n.jp g?oh=85decc94d1ddf69ab9039c38ac42e011&oe=5A1863F7
What's with the dirty look on his face?
I've already made my decision after only 25 min into Inter-Fiorentina. Vecino is light years ahead of Kondogshit. His presence in midfield is constructive and he's more of a team player than that tool. Good job on swapping the two.
Now I know why Kondo wanted to leave at all costs after signing Vecino. He's seen him in training and realized that he's so bad that he stands no chance to compete with him.
haha you are being harsh adnan
but yeah vecino is a great player for us, he is playing simple and also he is a work-horse in the midfield
him and borja valero is another level to what we had over the past few years.
lol exactly you proved my point.
We've had shitheads like Medel, Kondogshit and Melo in midfield over the past few years (all Mancini's awesome work of art). They've had no clue what to do with the ball when going forward. Those were exactly our problem. Vecino and Valero are very comfortable with the ball and clearly play with confidence.
if not for two Icardi goals, Vecino is the player of the match so far
Very solid. Icardi, Skriniar and Vecino were the best.
surripere
Nothing special, tidied up well at times, otherwise anonymous.
Wobblz
Same here. Don't know but looked pretty invisible to me, which might as well be a good thing.
That's kind of the point. He's the type of player that you won't notice but that's because he does his job. He won a number of tackles, didn't get any pass wrong, moved the ball well, calm in possession.
Definitely not anonymous but rather does his job well. Excellent addition.
Compared to what we've had in the past few years, he's a big improvement.
Basically what we have is an upgrade from "midfielders" who can't make a string of simple passes into a normal human being who can atleast execute the basic jobs of a midfielder. That's a satisfying improvement in my book.
And he helps D'ambrosio a lot, he was always availlable to him.
just take an example from busquests, over the years he has been like a ghost under the key players like messi, iniesta or xavi but he has been an immense player for the team.
his game could not be attractive like dribbling opponents here and there but the guy plays a simple football, something which we have been lacking over the years though
spalletti knows what he is doing, with the newest additions we really improved our game this season... its still too early but really if we keep like this then we could say that we are finally playing like a real team.
I already hate him. I can't help it. I have nothing against him personally but he's just an average player and we could have done so much more important things with that money.
So I think I'll refrain from posting here in the future.
How is he average? He did well winning the ball back, excellent passer, strong. Not to mention that he was our best midfielder today (along with Joao Mario).
What are the much more important things we could have done with 24 million?
we could have done so much more important things with that money.
You have a good point though. His cost is inexcusable. We've had no reason whatsoever to over-pay for him.
I think you're overrating his performance, which was no better than average. I watched several misplaced passes and him being outmuscled on occasion. I'd prefer my midfielders to dominate rather than be anonymous. That said it's early days and his first proper game...just saying he doesn't look anything special.
If Kdog had his performance people would be all over him. He is good for a sub role based solely on today's performance. Maybe with time he changes my mind.
He's the rug that really ties the room together, Donny.
He's the rug that really ties the room together, Donny.Fucking A!
Poslano z mojega F5121 z uporabo Tapatalk
I thought passing was mre of an issue with Borja Valero and Brozovic today.
He was solid and won a lot of key balls today
Before judge him
Lets see., whos better Strotman vs Vecino.
He was just fine. Many here will underrate him because they thunk we paid too much, didn't need him, or that his coming cost us schick. But we have to try and just judge him based on his performance...and I thought he played well today.
I believe people should be happy it's Vecino there and not Medel or Gargano. Those days are over.
Overpayed? Where were you guys when we signed Kondogbia?
It's just one game guys, let him get his feet wet and dry off first.
From what I saw though, right now I'd put Gagliardini above him. Also if you guys think we got him to play clean up and chase the ball then he's definitely not worth the price we paid for him. I expect him to spread the ball and go on the offensive much more than I saw in this first game. Next week should be the real test, against Roma, I'll be keen to see if he's able to hold his own against that midfield.
For sure Milan have dodged a deadly bullet which we've taken in the ass unfortunately.
Vecino's been approved by Spalletti and Sabatini's team. On the other hand, Kondogbia's been approved by Mancini and Ausilio's team. Take a guess on the chances of each deal's success. Out of the trillion players approved by Mancini and Ausilio, only Perisic and Miranda have succeeded. I've never seen such a shockingly poor outcome.
I expect him to spread the ball and go on the offensive much more than I saw in this first game.No no we have enough on the offense. Let him stick back and cover slow Valero and error-prone Miranda and inexperienced Skrnair.
I initially thought we overpaid but he's so much of an upgrade over Kondogbia and Medel that he's worth what we spent.
He isn't a liability going forward and tracks back.
1st i think all agreed that we overpayed for Kondogbia. even the club accepted it but justified it with the fact that the price war with Milan increased the price.
Anyway Kondogbias potential was/is huge in comparison with Vecino.
Vecino is a normal player , in a normal mercato. Don't get me wrong he is a much needed teamplayer (think of sturaro at juve) but not the one who will give you trophies.
Therefore going and paying the release clause for this type of players does not show any skill by the directors. For me any amount would be too much if it is the release clause for this type of "normal" players.
Potential - yes, but his final product - no.
We don't fight for any trophies this season, except maybe the Coppa ( which is achievable with players like Vecino). Inter's target is top 4. And you can compare Sturaro to Medel but not to Vecino.
No, a skill is needed to build a balanced and winning team for as less as possible money spent. There is no such definition as "normal" players as well. Every player has his own path to follow. Some reach their potential early, some older and some never do it. Naingollan also was "normal" player at Calgari. Arturo Vidal was "normal" before joined Jube.
Vecino like Sturaro? :trollol: Sturaro is shit.
Even if he isn't world class, players like that also win you trophies !)
https://shop.bild.de/res/product_550/resource_100674.jpg
Your point? Vecino reminds me of Motta, a player who was instrumental in our CL glory
Ricky Alvarez reminds me of Kaká.
only if the team already has 3-4 champions.
How many winners did Leicester have when they won EPL?
There are no rules in football. You can't just buy 11 stars and think you'll win everything.
Champions does not mean champions in the literal sense, Italy uses the word Campioni for great players.
brehme1989
I'd say the definition of 'campione' is big personality and great player combined. You could call Zanetti, Cambiasso, Samuel and in particular 'great' at that aspect and we also have had more such players like Maicon, Lucio, Eto'o and so on.
Can't figure out how many and which of our current players fit the bill.
Most of them still need to prove themselves but I consider Icardi, Valero, Miranda and Handanovic as players with good personalities and are all talented.
I think Handanović doesn't fit the bill, talented yes, mentally he is far from being a champion
(click to play)
he just turned 26. too old now on FIF standards - time to sell.
All the best Matías Vecino, as he turns 26 today and celebrates his first birthday as a Nerazzurri player!
Another angle and longer.
He's gonna be really important to our team.
I'm sorta getting a Motta vibe from him
shiiiiat maaan,we actually agree on smth...best negative member buddies?!
Pimpin
we always get that motta vibe whenever we sign average midfielders that can't do anything good other than pass sideways lmao
But I thought he was a crappy player from an 8th place team.
This guy runs up and down the pitch so not really Thiago Motta, more of Gargano vibe to me.
nutsncider
The guy can score goals too, so we've got that going for us.
Full fif meltdown against this guy is about to reignite if we don't sign a solid cb and good winger in the next 2 days.
Lots of bitching about how money spent on him was what coat us schick, Keita, etc.
thatdude
I don't think that's going to happen as long as he continues to perform.
Actually, Vecino is now a very important signing because someone had decided to skip trainings and request to leave for Valencia. We've also replaced Banega with Valero who can't play a full game apparently.
Pretty sure he played 90 minutes against Roma and was excellent.
We would've needed to buy a midfielder anyway after Kondogbia left. Spalleti asked for Vecino and he got him. Nothing wrong here.
He did a good job vs Messi.
Vecino vs Argentina. Great match by him
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMs14GMsdXE
According to Mundo Deportivo he was also great against Paraguay. Good to know, seems like Gagliardini will be benched again at this point.
Gags will be fine. He is 23. When Vecino was 23, he was still developing, as is Gags.
It's not so automatic that gags will improve. He has the potential but to develop it, that's another thing. Some do, some don't. Montolivo and aquilani looked like they would be able in a few years to set the world on fire when they were young.
Aquilani wasnt bad at all. Montolivo always sucked.
So did he score the goal for argentina, or was it an own goal? I saw the highlights now, and it looked like he scored the goal, but on flashscore app says it was an own goal...
Adriano@10
Wrong thread?
Also i think it was an own goal have not seen a vid where you see it clearly but most sites put it as an og.
Yeah sorry, wrong thread. Dont know how i posted this here. Thanks for the answer.
Did well when he came on.
Agreed but our midfield was still so shit throughout. He did a good job when he came on but we still didn't look fluid at all.
Nah, he still made a shit load of mispasses just as Gargliadini, even though he was less slugguish.
I think it was more about how well Crotone pressed our back, everyone struggled with forward passes.
Agree i think crotone is not getting enough credit for what they did against us. They ran a lot and made it really hard for our midfield to impose our game. Imho part of why we looked better with vecino is because from the 60 min on you could clearly see that they are getting tired and cant keep up their pressing anymore. Not saying Vecino was not beter than gags but imho we would have looked better towards the end of the game even with gags on the field.
if vecino were a predator animal, he would die of starvation within 3 days. the way he let verdi go, it was just terrible.
Should've fouled him. Yellow card > goal.
Materazzi_23
Agreed, It's looks like he is missing the agression needed for his position. Even though we only had 5 games I don't see why we bought him for that amount of money. Especially if you realise we lack depth in our squad in other positions.
Great game, excellent in the second half. He's performance apart from the three points was the best thing about the match. Made that position his own, great to see.
He's improving, Vs Bologna he was the only one who was fine and today he did very well. I understand why Spalletti wanted him, hes very intelligent and never stops working.
Much improved in the second half. I'm hesitant to blame too many of our players as it seems our entire team suffers in the first half of most games. It's a system issue rather than Valero or Gagliardini or Vecino being shit.
^ agreed. too much passivity in the midfield to start. its a lot like dalbert -everyone is hesitant to drive forward or attack too much.
He played well but I want to see more driving forward, more running and more attacking movement.
F U C K MILAN
So far I see nothing special in him,he lacks aggression, weak in the tackle, and his passing is very medicore...I would play gags over him for now.... at least we know what gags is capable of on a good day
Harpsabu
what?? I thought yesterday was his best match with us. He controlled the midfield alone.
We were looking at a different match tho...
he is one of our most aggressive players on pitch, has 4 successful tackles in the game plus decent ball control and distribution.
Are people expect a naingolan from a 24M player?
Just my opinion yall...not that impressed so far
For starters, Vecino is a massive upgrade over that sorry excuse of a midfielder called Kondogbia. Therefore, signing him and loaning out Kondogbia was an automatic upgrade to our midfield.
Secondly, he's an all around midfielder. He's not special at anything, but he has almost no weak points. What we have here is a midfielder who is good at defending, attacking and good football intelligence. Keep in mind that I've said 'good' but not 'excellent'.
Maybe the closest comparison is a CM Stankovic minus the excellent shots, but Vecino seems to be more reliable and less error prone than Stankovic with a bit more tactical awareness. He's a team player that balances out your midfield.
Upgrade to kondogbia is for sure and I completely agree ... I just hope he won't always start over gags
uny_arturo
Having Gags and Vecino in our team is a blessing. Vecino is much more commanding in defence though. His forward passing may be less accurate but his dribbling is above far for a DM.
Were I the only one watching Vecino making headless run to win over the ball at their half of the field leaving Valero alone on the counter attack?
I still don't see it. Besides that amazing run he had game before last,he seems to me a glorified kuzmanovic. I seriosuly hope Iam wrong here.
I think Vecino is hugely underrated around here. Cant believe how people say he is nothing special, dude's composure on the ball is amazing and he is pretty comfortable on the ball too, he is way faster than Gagliardini and his forward passes are better. His defensive game isnt bad too. I dont know what do people here expect from a player in Vecino's position, dribble past the whole team and score screamers?
Nianggolan. Even he has to play higher up the field to strive though
ScottishInterista
The only reason he disappointed me is with the amount of times our midfield left the defence exposed on the counter. Happened numerous times throughout the game
That's the problem with Valero. I've said before that Valero isn't suited for a 2-man midfield. Vecino is more suited in that formation and would be better partnered with Gagliardini. Valero is too old/slow and defensively weak.
There was this occasion against Benevento in which Valero has made a bad pass that resulted in a quick dangerous counter attack. It was Vecino who tracked back quickly for the counter while Valero looked helpless.
yepp.. like you have nianggolans all over the world
I wasn't criticising, i was making the exact point you are. People are expecting vecino to be nianggolan
sorry than my bad
Glass box
I prefer him and Valero at the moment. At least until Mario and Gagliardini get out of whatever they are into now.
K.I.
Vecinno - Gagliradini would be a good 2 man midfield but they have to rotate with each other since they are the only DMs available.
At times it feels like all three MFs are too eager to get forward without making sure there's someone covering.
I don't think that's the problem with Valero but with the tactics. Why is Vecino keep on doing that and leaving us vulnerable? I'm not basing this 1 critic on him for his overall performance. I have no problems with Vecion, I think he should start so many games as possible but I don't understand the headless run. If Spalletti want him to play like that then we need to have a 4-3-3 and not 4-2-3-1...
Lol, just realized I pretty much said the same thing as you did.
I like him so far, he is the reason why we keep moving the balls forward and try to create a chance, imo, especially last game.
In Uruguay - Vecino MVP nello 0-0 col Venezuela
This guy had a really good 2nd half today. Started slowly but actually seemed to gain steam as the game went on.
Couple of lung bursting runs that Zanetti would be proud of. He should have scored that chance that Candreva put on a plate for him though, also probably should have shot instead of passing to Icardi when he was basically on the door step with just Donnarumma to beat.
Javier'sSon
He's unpredictable, hopefully in a good way.
He can shoot, thread a pass, dribble, tackle, you just don't know how consistent he'll be at any of those. Still on the fence if he's a jack of all trades and master of none or if he's actually quite good at many of those skills and you can't anticipate what he'll do as an opponent player and that should be to his advantage.
We'll have to wait and see if Spalletti keeps picking him to find out I guess.
He played in the second half better. Nothing against him, good player. Still, we should have kept Kondog and use those millions on other positions like CB.
No we shouldnt have. He is so much better than kondogbia.
Still, we should have kept Kondogbia and use those millions on other positions like CB.
No chance in hell.
Replacing Kondogbia with Vecino and Murillo with Skriniar has upgraded us from a mid-table team into a top 3 challenger. Kondogbia with that Vecino run would've made a flashy useless somersault delaying the counter and then pass it to Romagnoli. We've seen enough of that.
Liked him, his bursting run through the middle to back heel to icardi was great
I'm surprised with his runs. I thought that he's just some kind of a hard-working midfielder with average attacking capabilities (something like Stankovic). He actually has more skills and vision than I thought. His movements and making himself available for a pass is also impressive.
We can agree to disagree. Kdog is playing very well at Valencia as a DM. We could have used Kdog as pure destroyer along Valero and deploy someone like Brozo or Mario as a AM. Now we have no DM to play 4-2-3-1. That is the reason I say 4-3-3 is better for us in this moment.
Yeah K-Dog makes for a better DM, but Vecino is a better CM box to box, under pressure he's cooler on the ball too, also a better passer and finisher. Therefore, overall he's the better option, if an expensive one.
Sqnalkel
Conversely Kondogbia has upgraded Valencia to a top 3 challenger in La Liga.
Gets better and better in each game. Yesterday he had some errors, but he never stops running and always trys to do the best for the team. His run, that lead to the penalty corner, was brilliant.
Vecino + Kondogbia would make a good duo.
Kdog linked up good with Gags. Vecino is a better version of Gags. Basic math. :pazzini:
Well with that logic Vecino upgraded to a 2nd place team.
And here lies the problem. Kdog would probably made exactly what you say! But how many types of this actions has Vecino, one or two per game and I do not remember if one of those lead us to a goal.
Kdog play in a 2 man CM. He as a DM and Parejo playmaker. And looks good. Kdog breakdown the opposition attack and Parejo, who is quite similar with Borja, can distribute the ball to the wings or forwards. Valencia has a devastated counterattack. And most of them go through the wings.
The problem is we do not have a DM now who could wrestle with opponents MD. Valero is not effective as a trequartista. And a pivot of Vecino-Gags is not enough to break down the attacks.
Kondogbia with that Vecino run would've made a flashy useless somersault delaying the counter and then pass it to Romagnoli. We've seen enough of that.Lol
with average attacking capabilities (something like Stankovic)Not the biggest Stanko fan but he was far from average. Those long range shots...
Vecino has been our best midfielder so far. We just need to find a reliable partner for him.
Not the biggest Stanko fan but he was far from average. Those long range shots...
I meant his dribbling/technique/skills/etc were average. His shots are the only world class attacking ability that he's had.
Borja was actually fucking good as an AM yesterday...you guys on crack?!
He knows that position well,he played it at Fiora last couple of seasons ffs...
Borja and Vecino are doing their jobs satisfactory...
Gags...not so fucking much,he was pretty shiat with Nagalolo yesterday tbh
We would look awesomely fit with dis
Vecino-Torreira
Gags-Brozo
SMS is like Brozo,we don't need him if we have Brozo here...and his cost is insane
We don't have a ball back winner and a player who can dribble his way out of trouble at the back(Skriniar with strength tho)
Torreira would be awesome in Spallo's style of play because he can do said things
Samp are playing lovely tbh and Torreira is a big reason for it...he isn't a Medel at all...his long range passes are pretty sick as well tbh
No one is on crack here. Borja is good even if he plays AM or DLP. The problem is his age. He cannot play AM for entire game. After 60min he is dead.
I still prefer him in a 4-3-3 as a DLP with two Box to box MF, namely Vecino and Mario. But that means Perisic and Candreva must drift inside more often.
Liked Valero yesterday, he played well. But yeah he's only good for 60m or so.
Vecino played well - with gags and Valero in the midfield I feel like the opposition midfield gets lulled to sleep with our short passing game and then whenever vecino decides to be direct and take off on a run, everyone on the opposition gets woken up and is taken by surprise. Vecino should do that more - he has the chance to be most direct of all our midfielders and seems to be good at that.
Replacing Kondogbia with Vecino and Murillo with Skriniar has upgraded us from a mid-table team into a top 3 challenger.
You forget the most important piece on the bench ;)
He should have taken the shot after his spectacular last minute run instead of giving the ball to Icardi, who clearly didn't expect the passage any more. Thank God we got the penalty.
Anyway, he played very well; he bossed their midfield during the first half and when they switched system he was our only midfielder who still had something left in his tank to support the attack (Borja ran out of gas around the hour of play, Gagliardini pretty much kept his position and we sorely missed Mario and/or Brozo's change of pace during the second half).
Am i the only one who thinks that he is our best midfielder right now? Of all our 5 midfielders, he needs to be on the pitch every time. He isn't the big signing a lot of us were wanting to see (I dreamt of players like Kroos), but he does the job done.
As far as I can see, Spalletti deploys his players in a similar fashion as Mancini, just with more structure in attack. I am pretty sure Vecino wouldn't be as good under Mancini's reign. Just like we already saw with Perišić and Candreva, Vecino also doesn't stop running like he has stamina cheat codes. And he doesn't just run forward in a straight line like Nagatomo does - I saw him, Brozo, Icardi and Joao Mario making some diagonal runs to open up space.
Mostly what he needs to work on is his first touch and decision making, but truthfully, he hasn't really done many mistakes on the pitch. Like some of you already mentioned, he brings stability where Kdog brought none. It seems like Kdog wasn't really interested in playing in Italy. Maybe he'll come back a different player, who knows. But he is def one or more steps behind Vecino.
I really like him. Plays his heart out, really celebrates each goal, and is a good player too. It would be good if we can get some more goals from him this season.
A.l.i
He should've scored that Kroos like bottom corner finish tbh from the edge of the box. Donnaruma was beaten.

He was amazing vs Milan. It was a shame he did not score yet on the many times he pushed forward.
It's because his shooting is mediocre which is a shame for someone who's comfortable in running forward with the ball, standing in good shooting positions and moving very well off the ball. He's also comfortable with fast one-touch passes in small spaces so I don't how he fucks up with similar shooting.
He scored vs Roma
https://streamable.com/sjnwh
Great run from him, unlucky not to score or get an assist from it
2 amazing runs in the toughest two games of the season. If he keeps this up along with a result at the end of the run he will be a beast.
Our best and most contributing midfielder this season.

November 29, 2011 by Janine Glathar
The maps below were produced by the Women & Marriage group for Prof. Nikki Taylor’s ”Global Feminism & Religion” class. The group explored differences in marriage laws, norms and customs around the world and created maps in Google Earth to visualize countries according to four separate variables of interest: average age of marriage (men); average age of marriage (women); legal age of marriage (men); and legal age of marriage (women). In examining the map data they found that the legal age of marriage for each country seems to set the standard for the actual ages at which men and women marry. For example, in the United States, the legal age of marriage for men and women is the same (18 years old) for both genders – and the difference in the average age of marriage for men (28 years old) and women (26 years old) is very small. By contrast, in Niger the legal age of marriage for men is 18 – but for women it is only 15. The difference in the average age of marriage for men (25 years old) and women (17 years old) is fairly large and could be explained in part by the difference in the legal age of marriage for each gender.

‘The Next Frontier: Human Development and the Anthropocene’
12:30pm EST/ 5:30pm GMT
For the first time in a relationship spanning 300,000 years, instead of the planet shaping humans, humans are shaping the planet. This is the Anthropocene: the age of humans.
The new 2020 Human Development Report (HDR) – set to launch on 15 December – looks at how humanity can navigate this new age, unpacking the relationships between people and the planet and showing how our impacts on the Earth interact with inequalities across societies.
COVID-19 and its unprecedented effects on human development are a cautionary tale of the type of challenges we are likely to face in the Anthropocene, unless humans transform the way we interact with the planet. But the future is not set in stone– yet. We have a once-in-a-generation an opportunity to choose to change, and the 2020 HDR suggests a way forward.
Now in its 30th Anniversary, the report also introduces an experimental global index that casts human development progress in a new light; one that places an emphasis on both people and the planet.

The cybersecurity millionaire and former presidential candidate sees new additions to his legal woes.
Update: The Justice Department reports John McAfee has been arrested in Spain for tax evasion and is awaiting extradition to the United States.
On Monday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed suit against John McAfee for allegedly promoting initial coin offerings (ICOs) without disclosing that the ICO issuers were paying him, a violation of U.S. securities law.
Per the complaint: "From at least November 2017 through February 2018, McAfee leveraged his fame to make more than $23.1 million U.S. Dollars ('USD') in undisclosed compensation by recommending at least seven “initial coin offerings” or ICOs to his Twitter followers."
The SEC mentions seven unidentified ICO issuers who privately communicated with McAfee's team to get him to publicly endorse their ICOs in exchange for payment in those coins and in Bitcoin. This is illegal, and has previously previously provoked the commission to go after celebrities like DJ Khaled and Floyd Mayweather, who also promoted ICOs without disclosing their financial interests.
The SEC's complaint refers to a famous moment in McAfee's long history of outlandish predictions for Bitcoin's price. He ultimately walked back those predictions and claimed he had only been trying to draw public interest in BTC.

Rajinikanth to announce decision on active political plunge soon
Tamil Nadu, Nov 30 (ANI): Actor Rajinikanth arrives to meet the officer bearers of the Rajini Makkal Mandram, at the Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam in Chennai on Monday. (ANI Photo)
Chennai, Nov 30 (IANS) Actor Rajinikanth on Monday told the District Secretaries of ‘Rajini Makkal Mandram’ that he would announce the decision on his active political plunge soon through the media.
Speaking to reporters here, a couple of District Secretaries said the actor had told them that he would decide on floating a political party and plunge into politics.
Rajinikanth would announce his decision on jumping into active Tamil Nadu politics soon, said two District Secretaries, who met the actor on Monday.
According to the Mandram officials, they also expressed concern at Rajinikanth’s health condition, and contesting the 2021 Tamil Nadu Assembly polls will be the ideal time.
The meeting lasted for about two hours. After the meeting he waved at the crowd assembled outside his Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam sans mask.
It is also said Rajinikanth had told the District Secretaries that it is not possible for anyone to make money in politics with him.
Last month Rajinikanth tweeted that he would consult with the officials of Rajini Makkal Mandram about his health condition and announce his political stance to the people.
At that time denying a statement purported to be issued by him announcing his decision to quit politics, Rajinikanth said some of the contents in that statement relating to his health and the medical advice given by the doctors were true.
“After discussing the matter with the officials of the Rajini Makkal Mandram, at an appropriate time I will announce my political stance to the people,” Rajinikanth had said.
As per the alleged statement, Rajinikanth’s doctors had voiced their reservations on his political entry since he had undergone a kidney transplant sometime back.t They had also told him that there was no vaccine for Covid-19 and even if there was one, whether it would be effective at his age of 70.
The election for Tamil Nadu Assembly is slated in 2021.
As per the purported statement, if Rajinikanth had to start a political party then the plans would have to be finalised by December and an announcement to be made by January 15 next year.
The condition of his health getting bad was also mentioned as he had to address rallies and meet people once he plunged into active politics during the Covid-19 period.
Asserting that he was not getting into politics for the sake of power, actor turned politician Rajinikanth in March this year ruled himself out of the race for the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister’s post and said there was an urgent need for a change in the system.
He said that his political party and the government, in case it came to power, would have different leaders.
He said that 60-65 per cent of his party’s candidate for the Tamil Nadu Assembly polls will be in the age group of 45-50. The remaining seats will go to good people in other parties, professionals, judges, and former IAS officers.
Recalling his speech on December 31, 2017, Rajini said that he was not into politics for power. At the age of 45 (in 1996) he was not interested in political power, and now at the age of 68 (in 2017) one cannot say he is power crazy, he recalled saying two years ago.
On December 31, 2017, Rajinikanth had announced his decision to float a political party to practice ‘spiritual politics’ and contest all 234 Assembly seats in Tamil Nadu in 2021.
The actor said at that time that his entry into politics was a “compulsion of time” since the country’s politics had gone wrong.
Rajinikanth had remarked that while earlier kings would invade other countries and loot them, nowadays political parties were looting their own people under the guise of democracy. The system needed a change, he added.
After 2017, Rajinikanth has voiced his views on some issues. In the wake of anti-Sterlite Copper smelter plant protest in Tuticorin and killing of 13 persons in police firing, he said that Tamil Nadu would turn into a graveyard if protests were held for everything.
Later, he said that he was not a mouthpiece of the BJP and attempts were being made to paint him in saffron.

Home / SMART quality & compliance / Data Privacy In The Age Of Digital Health
Data Privacy In The Age Of Digital Health
SMART quality & compliance
“Without privacy there is no trust, which is what the best individual healthcare requires” – Florian Schnettelker
What do you think is the most valuable asset of every patient in the world?
The thinking behind this question is shown in the implementation of digital health functions and solutions in the company and its products. The most valuable asset for a patient is his/her personal health data. This topic becomes more and more important with the rise of digital health solutions in our daily personal and business life.
In many countries there are laws and regulations issued in order to provide data privacy for digital health and to prevent health records being misused and stolen. In the USA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) provides guidelines for digital data usage, whilst in Europe the EU Data Protection Directive states all policies and procedures protecting personal data including the electronic health data.
HIPAA, for example, limits disclosure of patient data and mandates secure storage and transmission of electronic records collected by health care providers (physicians, researchers and pharmacists) and their business associates which provides treatment, payment or healthcare operations. Anybody who violates HIPAA faces civil and criminal penalties. All data breaches which affect more than 500 patients are published on a publicly accessible website, which can result in loss of reputation and income for the company where the data breach occurred. Nowadays increasing quantities of medical and health data are being created outside HIPAA protection, primarily by patients. In fact, most of medical and health information are controlled by third party data brokers and internet companies. These companies have the ability and interest to combine these data with a wide range of consumer’s personal information such as data from daily activities, transactions, movements, and demographics.
Protection of Patient Health Record Data.
As it was mentioned before, the health records and data of a patient is their most valuable asset. One must be aware, that with the rise of digital health data and connected data sets of patients’ lives including electronic health records, this data becomes enticing to third parties who want to abuse it. In fact, medical identity theft is already a multi-billion problem in the United States alone, and can be a life threatening factor – according to an ESET security researcher. A comprehensive identity-theft kit containing a health insurance record can be worth as much as $1,000 on the black market, and even partial health insurance credentials can fetch $20.
Let us now look how health record theft works and why it is so life threatening. The theft of health records and information is carried out via social engineering, classical hacking (malware) or classical theft of laptop and smartphones. The stolen data is sold on specific dark net websites filled with confidential data sets. This could be life threatening, since people with dubious intentions can then own a data set of health records. They can use these data sets to put undesirable persons to death by using specific health information. In another case, an affected patient might result to suicide, because confidential therapy notes were leaked. This leaking resulted in the patient being set under social pressure and decides to take his or her life by suicide. Suffice to say that no company wants to be connected with a big data breach like the Sony Hack and/or also faces civil law suits from patient families.
One has to do the following to protect patient data:
Train your staff how to deal with and process personal sensitive information.
Encrypt your mobile access, the data transfer and storage systems.
Do not do the same mistakes as other industries/companies did before (learn from their faults).
Have a good user access and identity management system in place.
If you want to still be in business, mitigate and minimize the risk of patient data breaches as much as possible.
Only process health related patient information as if it is required to fulfill the related task or activity.
Challenges for the Future
Privacy experts argue that the health industry has been slow to respond to data privacy incidents by adopting the encryption techniques and other common standards used for years by other industry sectors.
As more parties of the healthcare system goes digital with medical records and information, the size and frequency of data breaches are alarming! Although healthcare providers face serious penalties if they allow patients’ electronic records to be breached, thieves ceaselessly keep trying as health records contain too much valuable and expensive information.
In the EU there is an upcoming general regulation for data protection which guarantees more law security instead of data privacy in different EU countries. This regulation is based on the thinking “Privacy by Design”. This means that developers design their digital health solution in a way that only collects data, which is required to perform the intended use of this developed digital health solution. Possible digital health solutions are yet to be seen when this regulation becomes effective.
Conclusion and Outlook
It is worth remembering, that one can only mitigate the data privacy risk for digital health solutions. If a digital health solution is developed, marketed and used, a setup of a (personal) risk management must be carried out to analyze the risks associated posed to any data which is processed by a digital heath solution, e.g. cloud based electronic health records, wearable computing devices.
It is also worth keeping in mind the protection of data privacy of patients and consumers. Their health records are their most valuable asset, which need the best protection from misuse and theft that you can guarantee with acceptable costs.

Free Ride Extreme Guide
1. Kill Speedy Gonzalez Mission - Flower Power
This mission starts at a location just south of your house and can be seen from your front door. Take a fast car with you and run down Speedy Gonzalez. He's fast, if you dog him sometimes a street car will get him. He's easiest to run down on the Gulliano Bridge. There are quite a few ways to kill Speedy. You can block his doorway with a car and then shoot him. If you watch him he initially runs up the street and pauses at the corner. If you have the sniper rifle you can shoot him from a distance. You can also go around the block the opposite way and run him down while he stands on the corner.
2. Speed Explosive Truck Mission - Masseur Taxi
This mission starts in the parking lot where Paulie had his gun jam in the Morello assassination attempt. You must drive the truck loaded with explosives to a location in the Works Quarter. You have a limited time to attain 30mph and after that you have to keep it above 34mph or the truck will explode. Although there are many routes you can take I will give you the most direct possible route. Get in the truck and accelerate towards the East Marshall bridge. Turn on the speed limiter. Go over the bridge and then turn right (turn the speed limiter off before you go over the bridge and let the speed build to 50 mph, then when you are on the bridge turn it back on). Remember to make wide turns and not to hit anything. Next turn left and go west on the divided street. A block before you have to turn right and go north, turn the speed limiter off again. This is to carry enough speed while going over the West Marshall Bridge. When you're on the bridge turn the limiter back on. Take the 3rd left after the bridge and then the next right. You are going to a location just past the sheds that are west of the concrete mixing towers. This is one of the toughest missions to beat.
3. Sniper Mission - Manta Prototype
This mission involves a Manta Prototype that is parked on the front steps of a building in the center of downtown. There is a sniper rifle next to it and 3 enemy snipers who start shooting as soon as you take the mission. Run towards the cars right side jumping as you go. Pick up the rifle and head back towards the building, go around the left to the back of the building. You must jump when you're moving as the snipers are very good. Continue around the back of the building. As you do you will notice a sniper across the street from the drivers side of the Manta. He is up high on the building. Kill him and continue around the building. The second sniper is directly across the street from the front of the Manta halfway up the center of the building. The last sniper is across the street from the passenger side of the Manta. He is on the short black building by it's sign.
4. Vision Distortion Race Car Mission - Crazy Horse
You must drive a Trautenberg Racing from the start point in the alley west of Yellow Pete's, through a series of points to the finish location in front of the Police Station. This is a timed mission and your vision is distorted by speed. The trick is avoiding collisions and watching the map for your turns.
5. Bomb Defusing Mission - Bob Mylan 4WD
This mission starts in the easternmost area of Oak Hill. There is a black Thor 812 at the start point that can be used for the mission. The mission consists of defusing dynamite bombs in a limited amount of time. The first bomb is by the gate of the house behind the start point. The next bomb is in the middle of the traffic circle in Oakwood. Then on to Downtown to the bomb at the front door of the Church. Then go across the East Marshall Bridge to the bomb at the front door of the Gallery. The next bomb is across the West Marshall Bridge at the front door of the Railroad Station. The next bomb is at the front door of the Fire Service Pumping Station. The next bomb is at the top of the stairway inside Ralph's garage behind Saliere's Bar. Then go across the Terranova Bridge to the bomb at the front door of the armory. The last bomb is a very large one behind the building across from the Hoboken entrance to Oak Hill. You will spot the bonus car as you come up the street.
6. Race Car Exchange Mission - Caeser 8C Mostro
This timed mission starts at the Hoboken entrance to Oak Hill. You must exchange race cars onto transporters in a certain order. First take the Caeser 8C 2000 to the transporter located next to the Old Prison, exchange it for the Carozella C-Otto 4WD. Take the Carozella to the transporter located in the Harbor area close to the West Marshall Bridge. Exchange the Carozella for the Brubaker 4WD. Take the Brubaker back to the mission start point and put it on the transporter. You really have to hustle on this mission. It is also very tricky to get the smaller race cars on the transporters. Success unlocks the Caeser 80 Mostro and all the race cars from the racing mission in single player. This mission also seems to unlock the Trautenberg J. If you want to place the Brubaker somewhere in your Extreme Free Ride Home gamesave do not get out of the car when the mission ends. Once you get out of the car you can not drive it again.
7. Timed Explosive Truck Mission - Masseur
The start point for this mission is in a parking lot north of the Hoboken entrance to Oak Hill. You must drive the Truck that is loaded with explosives to a location in the Works Quarter. It is a timed mission, you really have to hustle and by all means be careful as a collision will result in the truck exploding. The best route is a follows, turn left, go to end of the street and turn left, go straight to the end and turn left. Make the right hand corner and follow the street over the Guilliano Bridge. Make the turns to go over the West Marshall Bridge. Go straight to the end of the street and then go left then right down the alley shortcut. Go straight out the alley and where the street ends go through the loose doors to the next alley shortcut (if you haven't knocked them down prior to this). Be careful in the dirt part of the alley. As you come to the end of the alley you will see the Massuer across the street on your right.
8. Gas Guzzling Trautenberg J Mission - Speedee 4WD
In this mission you have to drive a gas guzzling Trautenberg J from the start location in East Hoboken to the Fire Service Pumping Station. You must practice fuel management and stop at each gas station along the way to refuel. Keep gathering speed and then putting the car in neutral to coast. You can also use the down hill portions to gather some speed not using the gas. The first station is easy to get to. Go straight down the street you're pointed at and go through the area where there is no fence (there is a drop) and make a right on the main street that goes to the station. I generally give it enough gas to hit about 40mph and then pop it into neutral. Refuel at the first station. Go out of the station up the hill and make the first right. Remember to cut over the sidewalks and make wide gentle turns. you then make a left then a quick right, and then you're going down a slight down slope (if you've done this right you have hit the gas twice so far). Hit the gas again to make the left to the street to the bridge and coast to the bridge (by the way I generally do not let the car get below 10mph). Then you accelerate up the bridge and then coast down. You will carry a lot of speed down the bridge. As you are going down make a right by the parking lot and go left down the alley that goes under the el train. Go left then right to get to the gas station. Make a u-turn just past the gas station to come in the right way. Believe it or not I was doing the mission over for a new profile and forgot about the third gas station and made it from the second. It took me 4 tries and is close to impossible, I must have got lucky. Anyway, use the same tactics to get to the third station and then to the Fire Service Pumping Station.
9. Airplane Chase Mission - Demoniac
This mission starts from the small dirt road in easternmost Hoboken. You must drive a Celeste Marquee 500 that has a bomb in it. The bomb goes off if you get more than 200 meters from the airplane that is passing over. To win this mission it is essential to drive as fast as possible and be sure of where you are going. Take the road in front of you straight out until it ends and go left. Take this road over the Giuliano Bridge. Take the first right, then go left through the alley under the el train. Turn right and go through the Central Island Tunnel. Go straight down this road and as it turns left. Make the next right (it helps to cut the corner) and then it is a straight shot to the end.
10. Taxi Time Bomb Mission - Manta Prototype Taxi
This mission starts by the waterfront in New Ark. There are a number of Taxis with time bombs that are defused by dumping them in the water. It helps to set up for this mission before hand. Take a Thor (any model will do) and leave it next to the first Taxi. Steal another Thor and take it to the harbor on the South West of Central Island. Leave this Thor by the water. Steal another Thor and go over the West Marshall Bridge towards the Works Quarter. Take the first left and then the next left. As you go down this road you will see an alley that goes to the right. Go down the left side of the alley and leave the Thor just past where you can get out of the car. This leaves some room so you can drive the Taxi you will get past the Thor. OK, steal one more Thor and go back to the start point. Get into the taxi and drive it up to the water and leave it in neutral. Get into the Thor you left previously and knock it into the water. You will then be shown the location of the second Taxi. Go up the ramp, turn right, just before you go under the bridge turn down the alley and go East. The alley comes straight out onto the Road go East and make the fourth right. Go left just past the fence and you will see a large building project. The second taxi is on the East side of the Westernmost building. Take the Taxi back the same way you came. When you get to the ramp going down to the water, stop, put it in neutral and get out. It should go in the water on its own. Get into the Thor and go over the Giuliano Bridge to Central Island. Go down the road past the Theater, turn left and you will see the second Taxi in an alley on your left. Park on the sidewalk on the right side of the Taxi pointing towards the water. Get in the Taxi and move it by the water where the wall is lowest and leave it in neutral. Get back in the Thor and push the Taxi in the water. The fourth Taxi is on the South side of the State Capital. Take that taxi to the harbor where you left the Thor and dump it in the water. The fifth Taxi is in the Port of Lost Heaven parking lot. When you get there take the Taxi on the left (standing in front of them) the other Taxi does not have a bomb. Take the Taxi down to where you left the Thor and dump it in the water.
11. Invisible Man Mission - Bolt Thrower
This mission starts by Morello's Bar. It involves following an invisible man who is relatively difficult to see as he tries to escape. Although he can run a little faster than you he pauses frequently. The easiest place to lose him is as he gets on the elevated train. It is best to do this mission first if you are trying to save all the cars in the Extreme Free Ride Home gamesave. It seems that if the invisible man can see a dead body somewhere on the map he will stop moving at certain points.
12. Bridge Bombing Zeppelin Mission - Black Metal 4WD
This mission starts in front of the Hospital. You must drive the Bolt Ace across the Terranova Bridge to a location behind the first building on the right after the bridge. As you go under the Zeppelin it drops bombs on the bridge. One thing you must do is use the speed limiter as the vehicle cuts out if you go much above 40mph. This mission seems to involve a lot of luck. I've won by driving on the extreme left side of the bridge, but it took a few tries. Alternately you can push the vehicle across the bridge with another car before you start the mission, then use a faster sturdier car to drive to the car, get in and finish the mission. The Black Metal 4wd is bulletproof and is very good at ramming other vehicles. It is on the other hand very slow.
13. Carry the Box Mission - Hillbilly 5.1 FWD
This mission starts in the parking lot on the Central Island side of Giuliano Bridge. Perform some simple out of car tasks. Do not drop the box with the drop items key, use the action key. Dropping the box in the wrong place will fail the mission. The box goes in front of the other box, not on top or alongside by the wall. Watch for the exclamation point to appear, then you know you have the right location.
14. Flame Spear Circuit Mission - Flame Spear 4WD & Flamer
The Flame Spear 4WD is located in the same alley that you boosted the truck for the Cigar Mission. This involves following a timed course defined by magenta smoke pots. The mission ends at the south side of the Municpal Building. If you make it you also get the Flamer, a nice little Celeste based hotrod. As far as I can tell if you want to put the Flame Spear 4WD someplace in your Extreme Free Ride Home gamesave, do not get out of the car after you win the mission. You can not get back in the car after you exit. I put mine by a filling station as a display piece.
15. Exploding Car Mission - Disorder 4WD
In this mission you must drive the white Celeste from the start point by the westernmost parking lot in the Works Quarter to the parking lot on Central Island that was in the "Great Deal" mission. You must start out as fast as possible and maintain a great deal of speed to keep the explosions behind you. I did this by using the manual transmission and carefully planning a route with as wide of turns as possible. This is one of the hardest missions. I wish I could tell you how fast you actually have to go, but I was so busy driving I didn't have time to look. It's got to be close to 50. Mess up and lose your speed and it's all over.
16. Gangster Killing Mission - Black Dragon 4WD
This mission starts in the Works Quarter in front of the "agreed upon place" from the Cigar Heist Mission. Upon excepting the challenge dive for the Thompson machine gun in front of you and then proceed to kill about 8 gangsters placed strategically around the balconies of the yard and alley in this area.
17. UFO Chase Mission - Mutagen FWD
This mission starts at the "T" dead end in the center of the Works Quarter. You must follow a UFO. Drive over by the alien and the UFO will make it's first move. The UFO moves to a new location each time you go under it and then waits until you get under it again. It is easy to lose sight of the UFO however it makes a sound you can hear when you are close to it. It goes through Little Italy then to Central Island over the Central Island Tunnel. It crosses from Central Island to a point due west of the one way street by the Downtown Church. It goes straight over the Oakwood Church to the front of Oakwood Junior High School. It then goes to its last stop at the Lighthouse. You are given a large amount of time to complete the mission.
18. Telephone Mission - Luciferon FWD
This mission starts across the street from the location that you took your last passenger before being beat on by Morello's goons. Or as the passenger described it the car lot by the department store. You answer the telephone at the start point. As you get near a phone booth you can hear the phone ringing. You are then directed to a phone booth in Chinatown. It is in an alley off the east entrance to the square. The next phone booth is by the Central Island Tunnel exit on Central Island. Coming from Chinatown go through the tunnel and make the first right and then the next right, the phone booth will be on your right. The next phone is at the Central Island harbor. It is behind a building just south of where the paddle wheeler was tied up. The next phone booth is next to the north east building in the park by the Terranova bridge. The last phone booth is in the cemetery on the north side of the Oakwood Church. It is a VERY SMALL phone booth. You will hear it ringing, look down.
19. Sea Monster Mission - Hotrod
This mission starts in the north west corner of the square in Chinatown. You are given a SW Model 27 with six rounds of ammo. You must rescue a fair damsel chained to the rocks on the beach in south west Downtown before she is devoured by a sea monster. This location is where Paulie had his gun jam in the Morello assasination attempt. It helps to use a fast bonus car for this mission such as the Flamer as you are not given much time. Take the Terranova bridge and go past the armory, turn right and go south by the most direct route to the beach. When you get to the parking lot get out of the car and go left by way of the rocks to get above the fair damsel. Shoot off the lock to free her.
Secret Car
There is a secret car hidden in the southwest building of the building project west of Yellow Pete's. You will see it in your car radar when you are close to it. Just walk thru the large wooden door. Caution, take a look at this car from Extreme Free Ride as the effect that the car gives does not go away. You might not want to be this way for your Extreme Free Ride Home gamesave. I've been told the effect can be canceled by kneeling, but I haven't tried it yet.
Sinister Face Cave
There is a sinister face on the cliff next to the railroad tunnel in East Hoboken. If you get close to it you will notice the mouth opening seems to go back into the cliff for quite a distance. Being of a curious nature I took a Bolt Truck and ran backwards at full speed into the raised ground in front of the face. I then drove the truck under the mouth of the face. By climbing up the cliff next to the face I was able to jump on the truck and then climb into the mouth. It has very sharp teeth. A cave continues on behind the face for quite a distance. There is a small tunnel with timbers that goes off to the left and down from the cave. It ends at a non-textured door that can't be opened. The non-textured door can also be seen in the railway tunnel a short distance from the entrance.
Free Ride Unique Cars
While driving around in Free Ride (city daytime) I've found two unique vehicles. There is a red Bruno Speedster parked in an alley near the center of Central Island. There is a Bolt Truck with Atlantic Import markings parked on a loading dock in the south west corner of the Works Quarter.
While not unique there are some other cars parked at various locations:
- Silver Fletcher - By the Lighthouse keeper's house.
- Lassiter Appolyon - In the alley south east of the Hotel Corleone
- Lassiter V16 Roadster - On top of the parking structure next to the guy who had the white Celeste exploding car mission.

Summary: The team, with the help of Illyana, travels to Limbo and learns of Logan's fate.
After the… incident with the Danger Room earlier, the Professor retired to his office. Because frankly, the surfacing of some things he's been repressing couldn't have come at a worse time. So he's doing the time honored tradition of meditation.
Or rather, the Upstate New York version of it, which involves aspirin, a glass of bourbon on the rocks, and the Marriage of Figaro playing on his record player. The music is soothing, allowing him to focus and sort those memories out in his head so they are properly contained. Then he takes a deep breath, some time having passed as he gets ready for the arrival of the other students and/or faculty, to solve the problem of their missing Canadian Samurai.
Perhaps it was the way it was supposed to happen, right when Charles was about to take his first drink, Jean enters like a storm, fresh from the shower, her hair still wet with water that stained her gray shirt. Stopping at his desk, she leans over to try to take the drink from his fingers, clearly intending to talk about what they both saw.. perhaps through a form of psychic-link due to matters that press. "Charles.." She finally states, hopping upon his desk with a knock of pens and pencils over, scooting back some so that she could cross her legs upon it. Her feet were bare, which wiggle a hello, and her finger scratches at a red brow.
"We're going out tomorrow night." That was all that was said, though she does give the nod to put out the call.
Meditation lessons might be called for from the resident yoga master, one taught by some of the finest gurus New York and the entire Tibetan plateau can offer. Scarlett's calm in recent days and months has taken a noted uptick, much to the gratitude of all living creatures in short-sleeves weather. Her attire is decidedly different, notably given the abundance of leather straps bound in such a fashion to allow maximum flexibility while grappling alligators. The redhead's serenity will be at odds with Jean, as much as one of them is very dressed and the other haphazardly. "Allo, allo," she calls, a finger wriggle most decidedly in common with Team Redhead. "What shall the adventure be over that horizon?"
At least one of them is going to provide the sunny optimism necessary to alleviate a fraction of worry, fear, and suffering.
It's not been the quietest month or so for Illyana. There have been… issues in Limbo. Somebody's riling up the demons. S'ym seems able to keep them in hand, but Illyana worries she's going to have to go kick some heads in.
They're demons. They'll live. More's the pity.
But when she receives a message, through whatever channels, that the X-Men need her help, Illyana's not going to shirk such responsibilities. She doesn't come instantly, of course, but she shows up at about this time, teleporting directly into Xavier's office. A large green head appears from the stepping disk as well, its oversized jowls making it look like the world's ugliest bulldog. "Did I say you could come? No! Get back in there, Stinky!"
The demon says something completely garbled.
"I said go!" Illyana raises one booted foot and stomps on the demon's head. The creature sinks slowly back down into the disk, grumbling, but leaving only its acrid stench behind. Finally Illyana steps out of the portal, raises her head and looks around as the bright disk of light blinks out.
"Sorry about that, kids. I know it's always awkward when the grown-ups fight."
Julie is coming along up the hallway, perhaps having cleaned up after that Danger Room session, …she happens to know a few lines to the song herself, singing along quietly, as she comes around the door to the office, peeking in. "Oh. Hey," she says, not sure whether she's interrupting something, there. Glances about for cues to that effect and gives Illy a little wave. "Oh, hey, long time no see."
Charles looks over at Jean, "Tomorrow night? Er, wait, hey, that was only one…" However, he does look rather more relaxed than he did before, "I'm fine, I just needed a bit of time to put things in the proper place is all. Really, Jean." He sighs, shaking his head a bit as he looks over at Rogue, "Actually, the technique you showed me the other day helped quite a bit, so thank you for that. And wait, out?" He looks a bit confused at first, then smiles, "Ah, out. Yes, that would be good I…"
He then breaks off as Illyana just appears, the man blinking in surprise, "Oh, you should have been here for the barbeque, Illyana. But I'm glad that you were able to make it. And hello, Julie." He then looks at Illyana, "I'm going to cut right to the chase, Illyana. Logan has gone missing, and the nature of the attackers we found at his cabin are making us think that this might be some sort of… well, magical thing." It's not that he doesn't believe in magic. Magic works whether he believes it or not. It's just the unexplainable that worries him.
Jean looks at Scarlett, then back towards Charles then towards Scarlett again. One brow raises, and right when she was about to speak.. Illyana and.. something bursts through the reality. Her nose wrinkles ever so slightly as she leans back, her eyes squinting towards the window to allow the curtains to draw back, and the windows themselves to rise so that the stench could find it's way outdoors. "Looking for Logan." Jean says to Rogue, but not much else, the glass she holds in her hand was nursed and toyed with..
By taking small little bubbles, wrapping them within her TK, a fine thread to allow them to flex, fold.. shape themselves, and float through the air.
"Out. As in, me and you big brother. Lunch or other things that we will not mention, but out.."
As Julie enters and Charles addresses the room, she leaves it to him to explain the situation in it's entirety. Jean was here to be support. Or play..
The spark that precedes the lightning storm of an arrival, comparatively, does not quite shock Scarlett the way it should. Illyana's arrival brings a smile to her lips, the inclination of her head a warm greeting as they go for all the incoming teammates and fellow class members marked off one by one. She pulls the thick braid over her shoulder and rolls her shoulders to ease up the tension gathered in her muscles, four rotations forward and equally many back. Such when Charles announces the problem, her overly luminous green eyes fix upon the professor and that smile dims to a thoughtful gleam.
"I see. Define the nature that would lead you to believe it? Can you describe the phenomenon encountered?" She edges closer to Jean, matter of habit. Team Redhead stands together, many days.
"And good afternoon to you too, Prof," says Illyana, nodding greetings to the others before her blue eye turn to gaze at Charles steadily for a few moments. She nods, though, quickly enough. "He smells almost as bad as Stinky, but this place wouldn't be the same without Logan around. I'll see what I can find out — but I'll have to do that from Limbo. That's where my pool is." She pauses a moment. "And we can go there, do that now, if people want to — but I won't blame anybody who doesn't feel like spending the evening in Hell."
Julie offers to Scarlett, whom she hasn't really met, a prelude to an explanation, accent all of Brooklyn Italians. "Pretty creepshow stuff, whatever you call it. Looked like they got in, then, whichever of em Logan didn't… get, seems they got out without leaving tracks or using a motor, not so's any of us could tell."
The Professor nods, and says, "Well, lunch does sound like a good idea for tomorrow, thankfully the summer means the school is pretty much out of session anyway." He sounds perfectly professional, and if he's irked at the commandeering of his bourbon for TK practice, he hides it perfectly as he then nods at Julie's explanation to Scarlett, "Precisely. Whatever those… things were, they had long stopped being human. Or anything remotely like it."
He then looks over towards Illyana, "Yes, well, considering what Logan has done for the school, I would go with you to Limbo while you did your scrying." He then glances at the rest of the room, "And do keep in mind that this is volunteers, and no one would think less of you by electing to stay here."
Jean was careful with the prized liquor, both hands now drawing up to shape and tune the liquid, matching the constellation with little gobules of stars that surround. It was a small feat, but it was soon carefully spilled back into the glass with a few droplets lingering upon the desk. Those were wiped up with the leg of her pants. Since Jean herself wasn't there and only heard second hand, she shrugs her shoulders towards Rogue, favoring for the story as is. And yet, the offer was made to go to Limbo, and it takes Jean a moment to think with a slight glance towards Charles.
~So soon? You just had an episode..~
Says Jean, Jean who had her own episode in response.
"I'll go. If only to keep an eye out for you lot." She put on her best hackneyed accent for this, playfully mocking Charles' delivery into seriousness. But she meant it, even Charles needed a guardian or someone to look after him.
Illyana nods to both Jean and Charles. "Fine by me. You'll certainly be able to keep demons at bay, Jean. Just try not to splatter them on the furniture. It takes -forever- to get out the innards." She glances about. "Right now, then? If you're all done with the silly accents."
Julie says, "Sorry, lady, my funny accent come standard." She winks, then looks between the Professor and Illyana, considering. "And, err, I'll go if it'll do any good, I guess. But, err, this that place that actually threw my balance off? That ain't happened since I was in bobbie socks.""
And with that, the Professor stands up and smiles at the group, "Alright then, I suppose a trip to Limbo is in order." He's still wearing the X-uniform from earlier, looking at the rest of the group, before he flashes Illyana a wry expression, "There's nothing silly about my accent. I picked it up from Oxford, after all… a decidedly unsilly place." He quips a bit, but Jean can sense a little bit of the tension underneath. It's not that he wants to go to a place like Limbo, so much that he has to go.
Jean grins, hopping down from the desk and moving to the corner to pick out a pair of boots that look.. a little bit too worn for comfort. But she slides in them anyways, kneeling down to strap herself in, her head nodding as she draws in a breath. "Alright, no demons on the furniture.." She was mentally getting herself ready.
And yet, the connection to Charles was a bit unnerving, she never really let him go since the first time they met, so to feel the tension was an understatement. "First time to limbo.." She says to herself and Charles, unknowing of what Julie and Rogue have done. "..should be a hoot." She too, wasn't so sure..
"Nothing like the experience of crossing planes." Scarlett tips her head, a smile gracing her expression to those who might hold a doubt. She reaches up to pull her hood over her braided hair, leaving her face in shadow but for the lower half. "I have faith it will be an experience to remember." In lieu of Charles' doubt, her optimism is something enduring as the sun and the moon.
Illyana regards the others with a wry look. "I'm the queen there, she observes, "and I'd rather stay here, where mutants are being killed. A 'hoot' is not the first term I'd use to describe it." But really, there isn't much choice at the moment, is there? Logan needs help, and she, it seems, can provide it. She's never been that close to Wolverine, but Kitty always seemed fond of him. That's enough for her.
A large disk of white light opens from nothing, casting a cool radiance into the office. "All aboard for Limbo," she announces, waving the group into the portal like a train conductor. "Next stop, Limbo, Hell, Hades."
The ride, of course, is nearly instantaneous. The portal closes once more, and those along for the ride are deposited around a pool of water. Rocks jut up from the ground around it, all tinted red. Torches burn around them, and the sky is an unsettling mix of black and crimson.
Julie nods, then, pulling on some gloves: they're driving gloves, but perhaps better than nothing. "Here goes nothing, then," she says, wincing a bit, as she'd been through this ride once before, if perhaps rather more wrenchingly-and briefly. Once through, she whoas a bit, and stumbles, rather like the last time she abruptly changed latitude via this place. "Mammamia," she murmurs, "Pretty wild." Tests the ground with a foot a little, and hrms, pulling out that shiny clutch bearing she likes to play with, and holds it in hand, the thing spinning with a quiet 'vrrrr'.
Charles looks unfazed, though he flashes Jean a smile, and then they arrive. He glances around the hellish landscape, and shrugs a bit, "Well, as the depths of Hell goes… this isn't too horrible. Though I think I'd refrain from putting a winter cottage here." He quips, mainly to show that he's cool (probably not) and relaxed (probably not either, but it's more likely the students would believe that one.)
Off off off to Limbo they go!
Even though it was quick, the change of atmosphere and basically -everything- does send Jean for a row. It was bad enough that she doesn't eat, but once they do land? She casts a smile to all that were gathered and.. compounded with the various feelings and sorts? She dashes off to the side into a very, very safe spot.. and throws up. Yup. Jean loses her lunch-that-she-didn't-but-thought-about-eating. Two day old food, or was it three. Maybe it's been four days? Who knows! Were they even upside down right now? Clearly one shouldn't travel so much.
From where ever she hid, a thumbs up is given. She's cool! It's all good!
One-way ticket to Limbo, coming right up. Scarlett steps rather fearlessly into the oval that links the realms, forming the third point of a triangle behind Jean and Charles. Not that either of them need the least bit of assistance, except for a handkerchief of all things, kept in one of the pockets secreted into a leather band angling across her waist. It smells faintly of citrus, lemony verbena a clean, familiar anchorage to the world. "Darling, here. It will help. Breathe easy." It may well be a matter of thumbs-uppery, but one doesn't abandon the person they swore to protect oh so long ago. Okay, long ago by Scarlett's muted historical standards.
There's also the delicate aroma of brimstone. That rarely helps with nausea. Illyana glances over to the nearest demon, points at Jean's mess, snaps her fingers, and the creature hurries over to clean up the pool area. "Afraid there isn't much in the way of antacids here. Or even Milk of Magnesia," she says apologetically. "But we'll make this as quick as we can. Professor?" She indicates a spot on the other side of the pool from her. "Stand there, please. The rest of you, feel free to join us, or keep an eye out for demons. They're unlikely to bother us, but if they do you can smack them."
And now the blonde turns her attention to the pool. She plucks up a dagger, its hilt made of some sort of bone, draws the blade across her finger and spills the results into the water. Her next words are in a language that nobody is likely to understand, though one of them is 'Logan' — commanding the water to display the man, his location, his state of health, any information it can give.
Julie hrms, there, hanging onto the spinning bearing a little while longer and taking a couple of steps, letting the thing spin down as she suspects she's used to the fact there doesn't really seem to be the whole *Earth* turning under her. Glances over to the professor. "Ah, is that what this is," she glances about. Lake, torches. "If this is yer lake of fire, guess that's why I gave up listening to the Sisters a long time ago."
The pool shows a place of shadow, cast deep in darkness and, thus, difficult to identify. His surroundings seem to be damp and either stone or concrete, the difference difficult to discern through the murky exposure of the pool.
His state of health does not seem to be good. His head has been placed within a metallic cage of rather Byzantine design, like an ancient implement of torture. Needle-like implements along the inside pierce his flesh from every side, leaving blood running down his chest and shoulders. From the amount of dried gore on his body - which appears to be nude - he's been bleeding quite a bit and for quite a while. His arms and legs are shackled in such a way as to limit his movement and prevent any attempts at escape.
The only other creature in the room is of indeterminate gender and wearing some sort of ragged cloak. Yellow eyes gleam in the light and there's a glimpse of a mangled face. A walking stick leans against the side of the chair in which it sits. It lifts a long, sallow-skinned finger and slashes through the air. As it does, a similar slash appears across Logan's chest, drawing a snarling howl from Logan. He can manage no more, for the needles impale his tongue to the roof of his mouth.
Charles moves into position at Illyana's direction, and looks a bit skeptical… until the pool reveals the imagery of Logan being tortured at the hands of… something. His eyes harden a bit, as he keeps himself calm, unable to look away from what's happening as he says, "Please tell me we can figure out where this is." His voice is even, but Jean can sense the surge of anger that Charles suppresses at the sight of one of his students being tormented in such a manner.
From her side, the cloth that Rogue offers was carefully plucked from her fingers, pressed to her mouth with a muffled 'thank you' and nod. She keeps it pressed there, immediately moving out of the way of the demon who came to clean, then takes up position by the pool with a wandering eye in amazement. This was certainly something for the books!
What isn't for the books, was the sight that she sees in the pool. Blood runs cold as she watches the scene play out, her own anger building and coupled with what she sees and feels? It was not good.
"If we know where it is, take me there." Jean says with a certain coldness. As far as Logan was concerned, everything had come full circle. He was prepared to ruin the world for her, and now? She was prepared to see it burn.
With a slight step away from the pool, she draws her hair into a ponytail again as if the trip were to take place right that instant, her teeth gritted to bite back the venom that would come from her lips, her chest heaving as if she were prepared for a fight. And she was. She'll fight everyone in the room just to get -there-.
"Illy. I'll do whatever it takes. If I have to plunge a dagger into my heart or sell my soul to some goddamned devil and open up the gates of hell again in Central Park. I'll do it. If I have to throw someone into a firepit or skewer a legion of demons, I'll do it. But I need to get there, I don't care how!"
The waters reflect their truth and Scarlett keeps closeby to catch the details, given a fairly good view from her own two feet rather than floating. Her thumb runs along the edge of the belt spanning her waist, the lone indicator of something being out of sorts. Otherwise, she stays quiet in her contemplative regard of what's there. "With so few indicators, I am limited on that front. Though I've a library I can check."
"I will try," Illyana says at the Professor's question, though she can't promise success. She commands the pool in demonic once more, demanding that it zoom out and away, show them some idea of where Wolverine is being held. She's not positive she'll succeed — and she's a little disturbed by the things that Jean is willing to do to get to Logan, not least because she's pretty sure Logan would kill somebody (possibly Illyana herself) for letting Jean do any of them. "If I had his blood, it might make things easier," she adds, mostly to herself.
Julie covers her mouth a little, there, glancing back toward Jean, having been about to commiserate as best as she can. She might be essentially immune to motion sickness, but this, on the other hand, has her looking a bit green again. "Yeah, it was more like that," she says, finally, when the view changes.
Julie covers her mouth a little, there, glancing back toward Jean, having been about to commiserate as best as she can. She might be essentially immune to motion sickness, but this, on the other hand, has her looking a bit green again. "Yeah, they said it was more like that," she says, finally, when the view changes.
There's a great confusion in regards to a precise location. It's like a thousand wards have been layered on one another over centuries, by many hands and many hearts, good and evil, angel and demon, sorceror, witch and arcanist.
Above those layers, though, lays a city. New York City, to be precise. Wherever Logan has been taken is under the city, in the labyrinthine levels of undercity that dwell below the surface.
Charles looks over at Jean, "That's not an opt…" Then he catches what Illyana says, even if it was under her breath, and tilts his head, "Wait, this is… like, what, sympathetic magic? So if we had something that was close to him, or something from him…" He thinks quickly, though he blinks in surprise as the prison reveals itself to be deep below New York City. Then he nods, "That must be why Cerebro didn't detect him down there. And now we need to get him back." He glances over at Jean, looking to be in complete agreement, "We will get him out." And he's going over a mental list of who exactly would be best for the rescue mission, subduing his anger in favor of making plans to retrieve Logan from captivity.
It was as ready as she could get. Not in uniform, but in a grey t-shirt, a pair of jeans that barely fit and boots that do not. She didn't care. But Illy's mumbled words gave her an idea, an idea that -no one- would possibly like. Not at all. So she keeps it to herself for now, her teeth gritting, jaw tensing, her fingers mashing and squeezing against each other as she looks into the pool again. Her head shakes slowly towards Julie, and again.. there were no words that would comfort anyone in this moment. As the scene itself changes, Jean's eyes narrow, committing what she sees to memory as she finally speaks.
"You can't say it's not an option because you didn't explore it all." Casual as it was, Jean looks towards Charles. "Logan has a son. That is his blood coursing through that boys veins. We find him, and we bring him here." She didn't want to say 'by any means necessary', but by the gods, she would. "And if you want something close to him? Me. I pulled him out of the very same shackles he was in, and he walked me out of that mental institution and made sure I got to you safely. Ever since.." Her voice cuts off, then glances back towards the city proper that displays upon the water.
Something bad was brewing. For her eyes slowly begin to bleed a fire red as her hands drop to her sides. "Take me home."
"Dakon?" The name lilts off the redhead's lips, carefully shaped. "I remember…" She remembers many a thing, but her fingertips practically itch for the prospect of memory. Scarlett exhales slightly. "I have something of his, nothing particularly important. Also, a metallic scorpion he crushed at one point when it tried to cut him. That may be a longshot, but you have more than one option there. I imagine that Jean herself would be a better route in, especially as the connections and sympathetic bonds between them would be nearly parallel. If they've spent any degree of time together recently, her aura should still carry something of the fingerprint of him, if I had to guess."
"That's helpful," says Illyana. "Even if they didn't want it to be. There aren't going to be that many places in New York that have so many wards on them — and most of the ones that are warded so heavily will be ones we know. Doctor Strange's sanctum. That sort of thing. We've narrowed it down to one city, albeit a large one, and if I can't narrow it down further I suspect Strange could." Illyana's a hell of a sorceress in Limbo, but on Earth Strange holds the gold medal.
She glances toward the Professor. "It's demon magic," she says. "That makes it anything but sympathetic — but they have things in common. It would not be sufficient to bring Logan's favorite pillow. We would need a part of him. Blood, flesh, tears, hair… But it will be easier, I think, to find his location based on the dead zones of the city. Those places where I, or Doctor Strange, can find no magic, where you can find no minds." She pauses a moment. "If that doesn't work we'll go vacuum his cottage. I imagine there will be no shortage of hair.
"Jean, a child's flesh is not the flesh of the father," she adds. "We say 'he has his father's blood' the same way we say 'he has his father's eyes'. I don't think it would be sufficient." That and, while she doesn't know Logan's kid, she's very much against kidnapping, all things considered.
Julie ohs, "So that guy's for real though, is he? I could …Just ask, if anyone knows where he is, and it'd help. A few of us kinda helped him out this one time, you see, not a big deal, but yaknow." She does have a face to mind, if any telepaths are looking.
Charles looks over at Jean, "So no kidnapping, since it won't do any good, and, as Illyana has noted, we'll talk to Strange. And then we can find him and get him back." He frowns a bit, "And figure out who these people are that took him, because the fact that they've been lurking under the city this long…"
Shaking his head, he actually seems fully recovered from the earlier misadventure in the Danger Room. Possibly because the threat to a friend and student has him focused, formulating a plan even as he picks up the stray thought from Julie, "Wait, what was that?"
Jean looks towards Rogue as she speaks the name. "Is that what he's been going by? Akihiro?" She didn't know. But Rogue guessed right, Dakon. But all ideas were good, there as always a trace of Logan somewhere, and it was a good thing that Jean didn't go back to the cabin to scrub it down until she herself painted it red with her blood. But even still, her gaze never faltered from Rogue, a quiet communication filtering through the ethers, blocking out others and leaving the other half of team-redhead connected.
~I picked a spot in the city. We'll start in Manhattan. At least I think that's where the view originated. Suit up and we'll leave when you're ready, but there's someone I need to talk to first.~ And Rogue could get the feeling that it was -not- Strange at all.
Her teeth grit and unclench again as she draws her shoulders down. "Fine. I'm not skilled enough to separate the blood from the man.." She blinks, one eye drawing its natural green as the other retains it's red. They both were in control, but the look.. however near scathing, goes to Charles. "You do that."
She's going her own way. "Illyana. Send me home. I'm ready to go."
And probably rip the city to shreds. It's going to be a long night..
Illyana's a touch wary, but things in Limbo have gone as far as they can — and even if the others aren't requesting it, she does not like to keep people in Limbo longer than necessary. "Home again, home again, jiggity jog," she says, casting a look at the Professor before a stepping disk returns them all to his office.
Julie hrms to the Prof. Nods to Lorna at the mention of the alias. "We met that guy, I think Lorna was there, too. Some guys was after him in Mutant Town, threw him off a roof or something. A few of us girls just kinda played it cool for him while the mooks were looking for him, so well, he was kinda thankful. I guess he and Logan maybe don't get along, but I don't think *no one's* as far on the outs with their Pops as *this.*" She points at the pool of water, to indicate what 'this' is. "Could be he wants to help."
The Professor nods towards Julie, "Alright, especially if he's from this place underground, you start with that. We'll speak to Strange." He looks back at Jean, his gaze even, "Remember what I taught you." Because, well, he knows fighting her isn't going to be a winning proposition, even if he does win, but appealing to that side of her has a far better chance to work.
Rogue goes home.
Home home home! They were home.. in the office.. and that was so.. so fast. Thankfully Jean still held ahold of the cloth, which was soon pressed to her lips to contain the urge to let loose more bile. Despite her pale disposition, she was still fired up and ready to go. There were things that need doing.. and she was going to do it.
Right as she steps out of Charles' boots she heads straight for the door, only stopping once she hears the words in her direction. Her lips curl, a hint of anger flashing through as she looks to the professor over her shoulder. "There's no turning the other cheek in this, big brother.." It was too late. They had messed with the wrong one. But there was still some lingering sadness, a slight reluctance. She was going to remember definitely, but was going to do this her own way.
Illyana watches Jean go, her affect as flat as it ever has been, but after a few moments, after Jean has left the room, the corners of her mouth slowly curve downward. "I think," she says, "that New York is not going to be terribly safe until Wolverine is. And perhaps — just perhaps — somebody should be warned."
Julie lurches a bit as she finds herself back on normal terra-firma. She closes her eyes a moment before she takes a step again, but here she is. "Yeah, I dunno if he knows anything about that, but you never know. Guess I ought to get some stuff to make some lights and stuff with. Make some tools for sewer and subway stuff, too, so I'll get into town and ask around. I guess maybe see what I can get hold of for maps, but I know nobody really knows everything that's down there by now."
The Professor sighs, "Quite right. We need to let the others know. Frankly, I might have been able to stop her, but that would have been a far worse conflict. As it is, we need to make sure innocents aren't caught in the crossfire." He picks up the glass of bourbon, then downs it in a swallow as… well, an experience with Hell and an argument with Jean means that he needs it, watered down or not.
He says absently to Rogue, "Keep her safe. And if you can contact your other 'friends', that could also be helpful given the situation." Then he sits down behind the desk, suddenly looking… tired. Which is an unusual look for the Professor in general as he just watches the shadows, making plans to get Logan back as he starts creating an action team in his head. For some of the students, it might even be Graduation Day.

NYC Campaign Finance Board Launches Ranked Choice Voting Education Campaign
The NYC Campaign Finance Board (CFB) is launching its highly-anticipated education campaign to prepare city voters for their first experience with Ranked Choice Voting in special and primary elections this year.
"The CFB wants to ensure all city voters are informed and ready to cast their ranked choice ballots," said Amy Loprest, Executive Director of the NYC Campaign Finance Board. "We're excited to partner with elected officials, government agencies, and community groups to educate as many New Yorkers as possible about this new way of voting."
The CFB's education campaign is launching with the following assets:
In-depth explainer found on the CFB's website
Answers to frequently asked questions about Ranked Choice Voting
Training sessions for community organizations to guide their own education efforts
More educational materials will be available soon, including:
Informational postcards mailed to registered voters in advance of special elections
Social media toolkits including graphics for public use and distribution
Comprehensive advertising campaigns for the special and primary elections
An animated explainer video translated into five languages
Interactive content in the print and online Voter Guide for the June Primary
A key component of the CFB's education campaign is partnering with groups serving the city's various communities. Any and all potential partners are invited to sign up for a training session to coordinate efforts and ensure voters are provided with accurate information about Ranked Choice Voting.
HOW RANKED CHOICE VOTING CAME TO NYC
Starting this year, New Yorkers may rank their top five candidates in order of preference rather than selecting just one in all special and primary elections. This innovative practice, commonly referred to as Ranked Choice Voting, is in use for democratic elections around the country and the world. It's intended to provide voters with a bigger voice while saving taxpayer money by eliminating the need for runoff elections.
Ranked Choice Voting was proposed for New York City elections through a Charter Revision Commission convened in 2019. It was then approved by city voters through a ballot measure in November 2019 that passed with 73.5 percent support. The ballot measure mandates that the CFB conduct voter outreach and education to prepare New Yorkers for Ranked Choice Voting.
Voters in Queens and The Bronx will be the first in the city to use Ranked Choice Voting in four separate special elections set before the primaries take place citywide in June.
In Queens, a special election for City Council District 24 is set for February 2, and a subsequent special election for City Council District 31 is set for February 23. Two special elections for City Council Districts 11 and District 15 in the Bronx will take place on March 23. Primary elections take place on June 22.

To make sure your contribution will be eligible for matching funds, check these Do’s and Don’ts. If you have more questions about the Program, our check out our FAQs answers the most commonly asked questions.
Ready to run for office and join the Program? Join the Matching Funds Program today.
CONTRIBUTOR DO'S AND DON'TS
CAMPAIGN FINANCE PROGRAM FAQS
The Program is designed to encourage New Yorkers to participate in their city elections. While candidates and their campaigns are responsible for following the rules, here are some quick tips to ensure that your contributions, and the candidates you support, comply with the law.
Contributor Do’s and Don’ts
Fill out a contribution card for each contribution you make. If you have questions, ask the candidate or campaign staff for assistance, but you must sign the card yourself.
Make contributions if you are an individual, political committee registered with the CFB, union, or sole proprietorship. NOTE: Only contributions from individuals are matchable with public funds.
Sign an intermediary statement if you are soliciting, collecting, or delivering contributions from friends or colleagues.
Make sure your contribution total does not exceed the contribution limit if you are making multiple contributions to the same candidate.
Provide invoices or receipts showing the value of goods or services you donate. Donated goods and services are treated the same as a monetary contributions. Campaigns must disclose this information and they are counted toward your contribution limit.
Read the Campaign Finance Handbook for guidance and best practices for all kinds of compliance issues like how to comply with disclosure rules when holding a fundraiser at your house!
Check to see if you are listed in the city’s Doing Business Database (DBDB) if you (or your employer) have a contract or another business relationship with the city. If so, you are subject to a significantly lower contribution limit.
File a Complaint with the CFB if you believe a campaign or outside spending group has violated the Act or Board Rules.
Make contributions if you are a corporation, partnership, LLP, or unregistered political committees.
Make anonymous contributions. The names of all contributors must be reported.
Make a contribution on behalf of someone else. Your contribution must be in your name only, and it must come from your personal funds.
Accept any form of reimbursement for a contribution.
Give more than the contribution limit to any candidate. Remember that multiple contributions are aggregated, and that donated goods or services count toward your limit. The candidate may face a penalty for accepting an over-the-limit contribution.
What is the Campaign Finance Program?
New York City’s voluntary Campaign Finance Program provides public matching funds to candidates running for city office who qualify and agree to abide by strictly enforced spending limits.
All candidates for these offices, regardless of their participation status, must adhere to contribution limits and disclose exactly where contributions come from and how their funds are spent. This information is audited and made available to the public through the CFB’s Follow the Money | NYC portal.
How does a candidate get public matching funds?
Program participants may be eligible to have contributions from individual New York City residents matched with taxpayer dollars. The Program matches each dollar a New York City resident gives, up to $250 per contributor, with up to $8 in public funds, for a maximum of $2,000 in public funds per contributor. The amount matched per contributor and the matching rate varies depending on the office the candidate is seeking.
To qualify for public funds, candidates must be in compliance with all Program requirements and meet a two-part financial threshold that demonstrates a basic level of community support. Candidates must also appear on the ballot, and have an opponent on the ballot to be eligible for public funds.
Candidates who receive an early public funds payment may be required to return public funds if they:
Terminate their candidacies prior to the petitioning period;
Fail to get on the ballot in the primary and/or general election;
Fail to gather and submit petitions; or
Eventually do not face opposition on the ballot.
What do campaigns spend taxpayer money on?
The law allows a candidate to spend public funds only on purposes that directly help their campaigns. These can include campaign-related literature, compliance, petitions, mailings, election worker wages, postage, professional services (i.e., consultants), printing, and other uses that may benefit their candidacy.
How does the CFB monitor campaign spending and fundraising?
The Campaign Finance Program requires candidates to abide by strict rules, which necessitate diligent and conscientious record keeping and reporting. Every campaign is audited by the CFB to ensure that they correctly disclose all financial activity. Campaigns that receive public funds are given extra attention to ensure that the public’s tax dollars were used appropriately. In some cases, failure to keep proper records or respond adequately to requests for information during the audit process may cause the CFB to assess penalties or require that public funds be returned.
Does the CFB offer assistance to help campaigns understand the rules of the Program?
The CFB’s Candidate Services staff is available to answer questions campaigns have about the Program and assist candidates in complying with the Board Rules. In addition, we provide trainings on compliance and in C-SMART (Candidate Software for Managing and Reporting Transactions).
Do candidates who decide not to participate in the Program have the same requirements?
All campaigns, whether or not they join the Program, are required to disclose their financial activity to the CFB. In addition, all candidates must adhere to strict contribution limits and to the CFB’s ban on contributions from corporations, LLCs, and partnerships. However, nonparticipating candidates are not eligible to receive public funds and are not subject to the CFB’s expenditure limits.
Can a candidate in the Program spend their own money on a campaign?
The Supreme Court has ruled that mandatory spending restrictions on self-funded candidates are unconstitutional. Candidates who join the voluntary public matching funds program, however, may give their own campaign three times the individual contribution limit.
Where can I find information about campaign contributions and spending?
Information on campaign contributions and spending is available via the CFB’s Follow the Money | NYC portal. Information contained in Follow the Money | NYC includes:
the name of each contributor and the amount of each contribution
contributors’ occupation and employer
information about intermediaries
how and where campaigns spend money
Note: Although campaigns are required to collect and report each contributor’s address, the CFB does not make this information available to the public.
What is an “intermediary” or “bundler”?
An intermediary, also known as a “bundler”, is an individual who solicits, collects, or delivers campaign donations from multiple contributors. Campaigns are required to disclose their intermediaries and the contributions they raised. Information on intermediaries is available in Follow the Money | NYC.
Is information on penalties made public?
Penalties must be approved by the Board in public session, and information is released on penalty determinations after they are made. Each campaign’s final audit report, including any determination of penalties, is made available online as they are completed. The CFB also publishes a list of candidates with outstanding debts to the Board, including penalties assessed for violations of the Act and public funds repayment obligations.
Who is prohibited from contributing to a candidate?
Contributions from corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), or limited liability partnerships (LLPs) are prohibited. Contributions from political committees that are not registered with the CFB are also prohibited.
Candidates may accept contributions from individuals who reside outside of New York City, political committees registered with the CFB, unions, or non-incorporated businesses, as long as they conform to the individual contribution limits. These are not matched with public funds.
Contributions from individuals that do business with the city are strictly limited. These contributions are not matched with public funds, nor do they count toward the threshold requirements for participants in the Program.
What if I have a question that has not been answered?
Please contact the CFB and we will do our best to assist you.

MOURNER "Apogee of Nihility"
Mourner are a brand new death/doom band hailing from Russia and they make their introduction to the scene with their first full length called �Apogee of Nihility�. This is a crushing and convincing statement by a young and talented band. Like often the case when it comes to (death/) doom metal �Apogee of Nihility� does not simply follow a pop song formula consisting of the traditional verse-bridge-chorus parts. The songs feature arrangements that flow and evolve as each riff closes. Each transition marks an indistinguishable final chapter in a song segment. This album is mostly comprised of pieces, not standard songs. However, it is the way how those pieces have been put together that makes this album stand out from most of its peers. It can become a bit of a difficult listen as the band slow down to a crawl and the guitarist downpicks slowly to the slogging beat. Lovers of faster and more casual metal might find this boring and start to look elsewhere. While this is for sure not the kind of music I could listen to each and all day I highly appreciate the mood Mourner are able to create, leading to a satisfying listening experience given the right circumstances. Fans of cinematic arrangements to doom/death metal for sure will love this effort. The lyrics keep pace with the riffs, the riffs lock in to the beats, and for brief moments during this album, Mourner remind me of Gothic-era Paradise Lost � minimalist, going slow, then fast, then back again, while melodic solos occasionally provide nuance. The music creates a bleak atmosphere and offers a certain kind of melancholic beauty. Symphonic elements are always present in the background giving the whole affair an epic character. The production is powerful with the mix perfectly balancing a certain rawness and much needed clarity. The guitars are crunchy without burying the symphonic details. While the growls are deep and beastly each word can be perfectly understood. Rounded of by an atmospheric and mystic cover artwork this album should be worth a look for any fan of dark and crawling metal.
https://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/Mourner/Apogee_of_Nihility/784612/Edmund_Sackbauer/402292
http://www.vm-underground.com/
Mourners debut album �Apogee of Nihility� is a layered and atmospheric sound with textures of heavy gloom and death, nestled between the influences of Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride, the sound is a well crafted mix of the classic Death/Doom sound. There are moments of grand conjuring on the album where the wall of heaviness takes an epic sway tipping between melodic doom and crushing death. While there is a fair share of death metal on the album, more often than not, the songs lean on the doomier sound of the spectrum. Riff wise, the guitars weave an intricate web of melodic leads and crushing distorted rhythms that fall into place over the low-end rumble of the bass and pounding drums. The vocals are of the death metal variety with monstrous growls and shouts that when combined with the expansive doom metal sound tie the whole soundscape together. Upon first listen, �Apogee of Nihility� is a well written and presented album but there is a deeper level of musicality that can only be dug up and brought to the surface through multiple listens.

Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal seeks to promote the exchange of information, experience of struggle, theoretical analysis and views of political strategy and tactics within the international left. It is a forum for open and constructive dialogue between active socialists from different political traditions. It seeks to bring together those in the international left who are opposed to neoliberal economic and social policies, and reject the bureaucratic model of "socialism" that arose in the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and China.
Inspired by the unfolding socialist revolution in Venezuela, as well as the continuing example of socialist Cuba, Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal is a journal for "Socialism of the 21st century", and the discussions and debates flowing from that powerful example of socialist renewal.
Links is also proud to be the sister publication of Green Left Weekly, the world's leading red-green newspaper, and we urge readers to visit that site regularly.

How socialists resist rightist coups: Lessons from the early Communist International
By John Riddell
January 14, 2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from John Riddell's Marxist Essays and Commentary — Parliaments and elections are no guarantee of democratic rights and fair treatment for working people. Capitalist forces displeased with an electoral outcome are all too likely to take direct action to impose their will, whether by financial manipulations, economic blockades, or military coups.
Even apparently stable parliamentary regimes in dominant countries can be challenged in this way. So it was that a military revolt brought down the French Fourth Republic in 1958 and, in 2020-21, Donald Trump mounted a campaign including an apparent coup attempt aiming to overturn the outcome of the US presidential election.
Socialists are challenged to actively oppose rightist coup attempts without lending support to any wing of the ruling capitalist class.

Evald Vasilyevich Ilyenkov: A Marxist philosopher who confronted the Stalinist bureaucratic system
Finding Ilyenkov: How a Soviet Philosopher Who Stood Up for Dialectics Continues to Inspire
By Corinna Lotz
Lupus Books: London, 2019.
64 pp. £5. ISBN: 978-1-916031-81-4.
Reviewed by Jason Devine
January 12, 2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — Evald Vasilyevich Ilyenkov tragically took his own life in 1979, but he has continued to live on through a handful of published writings and websites dedicated to presenting his ideas and work. Still, his name is not broadly known in the global Marxist movement outside a relatively small circle of academics and interested activists. Indeed, when the question of dialectics is broached, the common names referred to, beyond Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, are Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, and even Leon Trotsky. Therefore, the publication of Corinna Lotz’s booklet is most heartening. It serves to both publicise Ilyenkov and broaden the discussion on dialectics.
Options for Nicaragua
By Joyce McCracken
January 12, 2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — For more than two years, politics in the Central American republic of Nicaragua has resembled the volcanoes that dominate its landscape. At times in violent eruptions, sometimes rumbling. At times hidden from view, sometimes in plain sight. Always threatening, always less than stable.
The situation is often not clearly understood and is certainly open to different interpretations. What follows is a guide to the present, if shifting, reality. It is not a road map with a guaranteed seal of approval.
Whatever road the country was on under the Sandinista Front for National Liberation (FSLN) government of Daniel Ortega, it took an unscheduled turn following the events of April 2018. Mainly young people had been protesting against government policies for some time. Then one day in April, they were met with what can modestly be described as a heavy-handed response. Therein after everything changed.
The movement with the main nuances and activities is centered around the ruling Sandinista party. This is now often referred to as the Red and Black, after the FSLN colours.
Party organization in Lenin’s Comintern
January 7, 2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from John Riddell's Marxist Essays and Commentary — Many socialist groups today seek to shape their organizational principles in the spirit of “democratic centralism” identified with V.I. Lenin. Yet as historian Lars Lih has demonstrated (“Fortunes of a Formula” and “Further Fortunes of a Formula”), Lenin himself used the term only occasionally, and then with widely varying emphasis. The formula’s meaning for socialists today is in fact derived mainly from its application by the Communist International (Comintern) in Lenin’s lifetime and under his guidance (1919–23).
Malaysia: COVID-19 vaccine - Hold your horses, let us play safe!
By Dr. Jeyakumar Devaraj
January 7, 2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Focus Malaysia — There is a lot of discussion about our access to the COVID-19 vaccine and the cost of the vaccination programme for the country. However, the issue of the safety of the different vaccines on offer hasn’t been addressed adequately.

Leo Panitch and the socialist project
By Stephen Maher
January 7, 2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Socialist Project — The death of Leo Panitch has made the world a darker place. His writings have carried us through some of the most difficult periods in the history of the socialist left, as wave after wave of the neoliberal onslaught broke workers’ organizations, serving up one defeat after the next. Leo’s work sustained so many of us during these years, pushing us on and pointing the way through the storm.
This was not because he sowed illusions about just how bad things have been. Rather it was because, even as other erstwhile New Leftists lamented the “God That Failed,” he devoted himself to demonstrating the necessity of a democratic socialist society that would neither fall prey to the shortcomings of social democracy nor those of Soviet-style Communism.
Leo Panitch
In appreciation of Leo Panitch
By Colin Leys and Sam Gindin
January 7, 2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Verso — The sudden death our friend and comrade Leo Panitch has led to an extraordinary outpouring of sadness and appreciation across the world. Very few intellectuals on the left have had the intellectual impact on progressive thinkers and activists that Leo has had, as the flood of testimonials shows; and fewer still have in addition personally trained a comparable network of scholars of the highest calibre who are now carrying forward his distinctive project of critical – and self-critical – research and teaching in dozens of countries. Leo also combined research and teaching with engagement with activists in parties, trade unions and social movements: he knew and was consulted by leaders on the left in several continents, but was also known and admired by the rank and file who flocked to meetings whenever he showed up in Johannesburg, Athens, Frankfurt, London, Rio, New Delhi and elsewhere.
'Long live farmer-laborer unity': Contextualising the massive resistance going on in India
Interview by Veena Dubal with Navyug Gill
January 3, 2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Law and Political Economy Project — Although it has hardly broken through the parochialism of the US news cycle, India is currently experiencing what is perhaps the largest strike wave in world history. In this post, Veena Dubal interviews Navyug Gill about the strikes, the agricultural reforms that led to them, what those outside India can learn from them, and what the future might portend.
Spanish state: Bulk of Forward Andalusia MPs expelled from their caucus — just desserts for turncoats or pre-emptive purge?
By Dick Nichols
January 3, 2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — On the morning of October 27, Maribel Mora, representative on the Parliament of Andalusia’s speakership board of radical left coalition Forward Andalusia, got a nasty surprise: minutes before the board was due to meet in the capital Sevilla, Inmaculada Nieto, spokesperson for the coalition’s parliamentary caucus, rang Mora to say that she would be asking the board to expel eight MPs from their 17-member group for being “defectors”. If most MPs from the other parties on the board voted for expulsion, the eight Forward Andalusia representatives would be reclassified as “unassigned”.

Growth and De-growth: What should ecosocialists say?
By John Molyneux
December 18,2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Global Ecosocialist Network — Throughout most of the existence of the labour and socialist movement the dominant position in the movement has been to favour economic growth.
Time out of number trade union and labour or social democratic conferences have passed resolutions calling for governments to adopt policies of economic growth. ‘Go for growth!’ has been a recurring slogan. The justification has always been simple: economic growth is essential to maintain and create jobs (which ‘our members’ or ‘our people’ need and want) and is the most favourable set of circumstances for raising the living standards of ordinary people which, again, is what our people want. And for the vast majority of mainstream, ie reformist, social democratic politicians and trade union officials, unwilling to contemplate any sort of challenge to capitalism, jobs and increased living standards were pretty much the limit of their aspirations.

Ecosocialism: A vital synthesis
By Michael Löwy
December 18,2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Global Ecosocialist Network — Contemporary capitalist civilization is in crisis. The unlimited accumulation of capital, commodification of everything, ruthless exploitation of labor and nature, and attendant brutal competition undermine the bases of a sustainable future, thereby putting the very survival of the human species at risk. The deep, systemic threat we face demands a deep, systemic change: a Great Transition.

José Carlos Mariátegui: Pioneering Latin American Marxist
By Marc Becker
December 14, 2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Against the Current — Writing in the 1920s, the Peruvian Marxist José Carlos Mariátegui introduced a uniquely Latin American perspective on revolutionary socialist movements and theories. He famously noted, “we certainly do not want socialism in America to be a copy. It has to be a heroic creation.”[1] This political dynamism is what made him into an intellectual force with lasting relevance.
Mariátegui’s voluminous and perceptive writings as well as extensive political activism left an unmistakable and lasting impression on the political, social, and intellectual landscape of his country. Nevertheless, even as he has retained central importance for revolutionary socialism in Latin America, in the United States few people are aware of his contributions.

Engels against reformism in Germany and France
By Doug Enaa Greene
December 11, 2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Left Voice — More than a century ago, Eduard Bernstein claimed that it was time for socialists to abandon their revolutionary goal of overthrowing capitalism. He argued that the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) should adopt a reformist approach that strictly relied on legal channels, such as elections in which socialism could slowly be voted into power. To support his position, Bernstein cited the authority of Friedrich Engels, who had allegedly reached similar conclusions in one of his last works. Citing Engels’s introduction to Marx’s Class Struggles in France, Bernstein argued, “Engels is so thoroughly convinced that tactics geared to a catastrophe have had their day that he considers a revision to abandon them to be due even in the Latin countries where tradition is much more favourable to them than in Germany.”1 Bernstein is not alone in claiming Engels for reformism; he was later joined by others such as Karl Kautsky, Ralph Miliband, and Santiago Carrillo.2 Even the American democratic socialist Michael Harrington, who otherwise viewed Engels as a “distorter” of Marxism, had no problem using him to vindicate a democratic socialist strategy: “In his 1895 Preface to a new edition of Marx’s Class Struggles in France, Engels summarized the democratic strategy in sweeping historical terms…. Engels’s turn toward what can only be called democratic socialism was a critically important deepening of the idea of socialism itself.”3

What does the Esau Revolution despise?
By Don Fitz
And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint;
And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profits shall this birthright do me?
And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
Genesis 25: 30-33
December 11, 2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — Despite the bizarre fantasy by Trump supporters that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, there was, in fact, genuine electoral fraud in the US. This fraud was more intense and blatant than any unproven claims of election meddling by Russians, Chinese, Syrians or Iranians. It was an all-out attack on political rights not seen since Joseph McCarthy era. Yet, this time, it was inspired not by Republicans but by Democrats and their liberal allies.

Québec: A strategic perspective for uniting ecosocialists
Introduction by Richard Fidler

From the Green New Deal to ecological socialism?
By Luke Neal
December 11, 2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Prometheus — “Our Green New Deal,” read the Labour Party’s 2019 manifesto, “aims to achieve the substantial majority of our emissions reductions by 2030 in a way that is evidence-based, just and that delivers an economy that serves the interests of the many, not the few.”[1] This was a central pillar of the election platform that suffered an historic defeat last December. As the ecological crisis continues unabated, the Green New Deal has solidified its place as the programmatic response among the left. Its core ideas have reappeared in the immediate economic crisis in the guise of a ‘green recovery’ and calls to ‘build back better’. This article argues that, from the perspective of Marxist ecology, the apparent path between a Green New Deal and an ecosocialism is confronted with several contradictions and strategic problems.
The planning and politics of conversion: World War II lessons for a Green New Deal — Part 1
By Marty Hart-Landsberg
December 11, 2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Reports from the Economic Front — This is the first in a series of posts that aim to describe and evaluate the World War II mobilization experience in the United States in order to illuminate some of the economic and political challenges we can expect to face as we work for a Green New Deal.
This post highlights the successful government directed wartime reorientation of the U.S. economy from civilian to military production, an achievement that both demonstrates the feasibility of a rapid Green New Deal transformation of the U.S. economy and points to the kinds of organizational capacities we will need to develop. The post also highlights some of the strategies employed by big business to successfully stamp the wartime transformation as a victory for “market freedom,” an outcome that strengthened capital’s ability to dominate the postwar U.S. political economy and suggests the kind of political struggles we can expect and will need to overcome as we work to achieve a just Green New Deal transformation.

Spain: a budget for an ecological, feminist and socially just recovery?
November 20, 2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — The Spanish government of Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) prime minister Pedro Sánchez and Unidas Podemos (UP) second deputy prime minister Pablo Iglesias launched their 2021 draft budget with great fanfare on October 27. For the proud parents, their newborn fiscal package — the first since 2018 — will inaugurate “a new epoch that definitively leaves behind the phase of neoliberalism and cuts to the public sector” (Iglesias): it will also “mark a turning point in our economic model” (Sánchez).
Not that the birth was painless: up until the day before the draft budget was to go before cabinet UP was tweeting that it could not be adopted because they did not agree. UP only relented after stitching up late-night deals with the PSOE on relaxing conditions for access to the Minimum Living Wage and adopting a law to allow rent control by regional and local government.

Philippines typhoon response: Duterte administration ‘unprepared and criminally incompetent’ (plus aid appeal)
By Partido Laban ng Masa
November 20, 2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — The scale of the disaster wrought by three successive typhoons still has to be fully grasped but the images of utter desperation of people begging for rescue from rooftops all over Luzon, from Catanduanes to Cagayan, spell the story much better than the numbers. These images are far worse than those fictional scenes conjured in the film Waterworld.

Four main components of Marxism
By Raju J Das
November 20, 2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — In a recent interview given to Jacobin, David Harvey (2019) says this about Marxism: “I still don’t know what it means”.It is difficult to exactly know how to understand this cryptic statement from one of the world’s most well-known Marxists. But this is not an unusual view. Many “Marxists” are “shy” to define their Marxism. It is also interesting that while there are numerous academic journals (e.g. Science & Society, Historical Materialism) that claim to be Marxist, they do not explicitly define their Marxism. When they say they are open to all varieties — forms — of Marxism, the question is: forms or varieties of what? There has to be content for it to have many forms. And to the extent that it is possible to know what someone or some entity (e.g. journal or group) means by Marxism, this Marxism often has little to do with the Marxism that was founded by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the 19th century, and continued by Vladimir Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg, Leon Trotsky and their followers in the 20th century.

Navid was born in Teheran, Iran. Due to the Iran-Iraq war the four-year-old Navid and his family left their native country and Navid grew up trilingual (English, German, Farsi).
He has played famous literature characters in different theater plays e.g. the part of Lady Macbeth in Shakespeare’s "Macbeth" & Romeo in "Romeo and Juliet".
Navid has also worked on several TV & film productions during and after this time.

The New York Times:
"...The film's innovation is its reading of extremist zeal as a perversion of youthful energy. Aided by Mr. Akhavan's quicksilver performance..."
(by Dana Stevens, April 8th 2005)
THE NEW YORK POST:
"Akhavan plays each change brilliantly in a film that is so tightly controlled that the mere glimpse of a new beard or a prayer mat being unrolled becomes a moment of horror." (by Kyle Smith)
"Akhavan, a fine actor, portrays the terrible emotional cost of this farce even as he goes ahead with it. After his final disappearance, which coincides precisely with the World Trade Center disaster, Chris launches an anguishing private search for him, ending pic on a note of unresolved tension. Casting of the four attractive young leads, who seem to have stepped out of a romantic teen comedy, pays off as the story spins into a dark nightmare and the carefree setup turns dark. Both leads offer riveting interpretations of their characters: Wannek as the culturally curious German liberal ready to fight for his friend and follow his code of ethics to the end; Akhavan as a poetic youth whose life goes disastrously off track (...) Akhavan is appealing on screen."

Home Roanoke & New River Valleys Outstanding Nurses Serving the Patients and Family in Times of Need
Serving the Patients and Family in Times of Need
by Brandy Centolanza
Molly Camper
Molly Camper, NP
Carilion Clinic | Roanoke
Molly Camper first became interested in the medical field while working as a receptionist at a family practice office during high school.
“I loved the interaction with the patients during their visits so much that I decided to become a nurse,” Camper says.
Since 2015, Camper has been a Nurse Practitioner. She works at Carilion Clinic’s Outpatient Cardiology Clinic.
Camper used to work in a Coronary Care Unit and recalls one incident in which a patient was brought into the emergency department in cardiac arrest. He recovered, and his two teenage children were later recognized with helping to save his life by performing CPR prior to the arrival of medical professionals.
“For me, it was an amazing journey to be a part of this family,” Camper says. “Every time I remember this patient and his family, I am quickly reminded of how nurses are utilized at such critical times of patients’ lives. The patient himself obviously needed medical care but his family quickly became patients as well for the emotional trauma they had endured. This particular scenario is exactly why I wanted to be in nursing as the science behind nursing and the emotional aspect of nursing were all incorporated into a successful patient experience.”

Two Ozark County districts pass bus inspections at 100 percent
Thu, 04/05/2018 - 9:27am admin
Gainesville Schools’ bus mechanic Jerry Beasley was pleased that the district’s 16 buses passed the recent annual inspection by the Missouri State Highway Patrol at 100 percent – for the sixth year in a row. Beasley, a 1983 GHS graduate, has been the district’s mechanic for 27 years. He says he’s seen a lot of changes in the vehicles since he hired on with the district in 1996. For one thing, all the buses are diesel now and may have computerized components. The price has gone up too. A new bus these days can cost $85,000, he said.
The annual inspection of Ozark County schools’ buses was completed recently by the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Here are the unofficial results, as reported by the schools:
Bakersfield superintendent Amy Britt said “two minor issues” were found during the recent inspection there. One issue was a problem with an inside dual tire that was corrected the same day, she said. The other was a hose with some visible fluid on it – a problem that was fixed by the next day. Britt said the district’s bus contractor, Kevin Wray, and the drivers “work very hard to ensure buses are safe each day for students.” Staff members “go through everything with a fine-tooth comb” to prepare for inspection, Britt said. The buses are driven on their routes the morning before inspection, and “it always seems some small issue presents itself during the actual inspection, even though we have gone through the buses multiple times.” Britt said she was pleased with this year’s result. “We can always do better, and we strive to make improvements to our fleet as well as to the service we provide to our ... families.”
Dora superintendent Steve Richards said 11 of the district’s 12 buses passed inspection, with five of the 12 needing minor fixes. He told the Times Monday that now “all buses are reported to be in good condition.”
Gainesville’s buses passed at 100 percent for the sixth year in a row. Superintendent Jeffrey Hyatt said the district’s long-time bus mechanic, Jerry Beasley “has done an amazing job over the years keeping the buses at 100 percent.” Beasley shared the praise with co-worker Will Landsdown, who helps him take care of the 16-bus fleet.
Lutie’s buses also passed at 100 percent. Superintendent Scot Young said the district doesn’t have its own mechanic, but Mike Garrison at Boyd Garrison’s service station next to the school takes care of the district’s four-bus fleet. Lutie has never had a major problem at inspection time, Young said, but it’s been awhile since the inspections came back at 100 percent. “It’s good news and means everyone was doing their job,” he said.
Thornfield: Three out of the district’s four buses passed inspection, said superintendent Mike Wallace, who added that the one that didn’t pass “was turned down due to an exhaust leak discovered at inspection.” Wallace said Gary Baldwin and Ryan Graham “do a great job of maintaining our buses.”

Subject: RE: How much difference does the Key make?
From: Don Firth
Yeah, Charlie, there's a pretty good article on modes in Wikipedia (CLICKY). Probably more than you really want to know on the subject.
As to Oscar Wilde's use of the Dorian mode, I think he was just trying to put the best face on things. . . .
Don Firth
From: GUEST,Chicken Charlie
Don--
I just cut & pasted your last post--what you said about modes and "corrections" was very helpful to me in my present state of "learning(??)."
I don't agree that the Dorian mode is all that common, though. The only person I can think of who ever used it was Oscar Wilde.
(Seriously, now I really am going to have to find the passage where Plato discusses the effects/value/morality of the different modes.)
FreshTricks--
Wonder of wonders, my local library actually has the Sacks book. It sounds fascinating & I'm off to get it as soon as they get around to opening. Thanks for that, too.

"It depends on the capo. I'd dispute whether that is actually generally true."
Incidentally a 'mute' on a violin does not muffle the sound like the alleged capo - it modifies it, but it is still clear, not muddy.
Don Firth - got an **actual example** of an early song collector making the mode-correcting mistake you describe? I can't think of one and I think you're fantasizing. (People trying to notate with microtonal accuracy, as you need for the music of India or the Islamic world, is a different matter).
Well, Jack, if I'm fantasizing, then so is Prof.David C. Fowler, a teacher I had at the University of Washington, author of A Literary History of the Popular Ballad and other books. And Cecil J. Sharp himself, who mentioned this several times in his writings. This is also mentioned in books by MacEdward Leach and Evelyn Kendrick Wells. I think those are fairly solid authorities.
As to examples, Dr. Fowler gave a couple in class, but that was some 50 years ago, and I don't recall the specifics. I do recall, however, that one was a particular version of "The Broken Token" ("Pretty Little Miss" or "John Riley"). One collector notated the song from a particular singer in a straight natural minor (A B C D E F G), and mentioned that the singer, "being untrained, of course, had an indifferent sense of musical pitch." Sharp collected the same song a short time later from the same singer, and in Sharp's notation, the scale was A B C D E F# G. The raised sixth (F# rather than F natural) is the defining characteristic of the Dorian mode.
Sharp found a number of such examples of folk songs being sung in modes and compared them with notations made by previous collectors in which the "wrong note" (or notes) had been "corrected," putting the song into a more conventional scale. Sharp stated that he was certain that these "wrong notes" were not wrong at all. He knew enough about modes to be able to recognize them when he encountered them.
Other than straight major and minor (which, incidentally are the Ionian and Aeolian modes, respectively), the two modes one encounters the most in Anglo-American folk music are the Dorian (like the natural minor or Aeolian mode, but with a raised sixth) and the Mixolydian (like the modern major scale—Ionian mode—but with a flatted seventh). If the song seems to want to end on the dominant chord, it's probably Mixolydian mode. One also encounters pentatonic scales.
And just to be abundantly clear, I'm talking about Anglo-American folk music, not the music of India or the Islamic world.

How much difference?
The question implies, decidedly, there is some difference...let's safely say between 0 and 100% difference.
But, difference of what?
...ease of playing with other musicians?
...difference of enjoyment to the listener?
...difference of perception between the original composers's creation and the current performers' rendition?
I'm sure there are others unaccounted for...
Above responses eloquently hammer into each area, in non-defined response.
I say, if you want the listener to best be virtually transported to recall nostalgic circumstances reflective of their original exposure to a song - my personal belief is that it needs to be in the same key for most true "musicophiles", based on the following:
Recommended reading for everyone on the board "Musicophilia" by Oliver Sacks. (this is not spam, I have nothing to do with the publisher, Mr. Sacks, etc...)
The insight this book gave me into music, after already being recognized by my peers as a "musician", not merely a guitarist, made me feel as though I knew very little about music at all.
The Key of Clear Green: Sythesia and Music, chapter 14, brings forth an understanding on the topic rooted in the physical and nuerological effects of particular keys which I found fascinating.
when my band's vocalist says...I can't do this song, it's not in my key, there are 2 choices...don't play it, or change the key. Initially I try a change. At that point if it strikes me as inconsistent with the zeigeist of the song, if it makes my skin crawl or hairs stand on my arms, it gets canned. Sometimes it doesn't. Nothing worse than a Chipmunks version of a blues tune. If you play with your soul; listen with your whole body, not just your ears.

While I think about it, how would you annotate Walter Pardon's habit of sliding down from a long note at the end of a line? Would you transcribe it faithfully, or would you put it down to one man's eccentricity and trainscribe it as one long note?
(Anyone who hasn't heard Walter's version of The Trees They Do Grow High should get on Amazon now, and buy a copy of A World Without Horses, but the way).
From: GUEST,the button (still elsewhere, the lucky dog)
Hi Tim -- next time I'm at home, I'll have a good look through my Marrowbones to see the song I'm thinking of. I could have sworn it was a song annotated in D maj with the Cs consistently flatted, but I'll check it out in case it was a song annotated in G with the Fs consistently flatted or somesuch.
There's been a bit of discussion around that new edition of Marrowbones & the transcriptions -- for instance Martin Carthy's review in the EFDSS magazine, (IIRC), questioned a key signature on the basis that the tune in question was pentatonic rather than being in the key stated.
Thing is, (to my mind at least) it's just the collector coming up against the limitations of the musical notation available (as I said earlier) -- the best s/he can do is hear the tune and write it down to the best of their abilitities given the conventions they're working in.
For instance, one of the versions of "Down by the old riverside" on the Musical Traditions CDs of the Brazil family -- I think the second one. The one by the female singer, anyway (once again, I'm not in the same house as my CDs, let alone my songbooks). There's a note she sings that to musically-trained ears might sound wrong wrong wrong. But she does it consistently, and after a few hearings you accept it as part of the melody. And proper lovely it is too.
From: Skivee
There's an old gag:
The singer joins the band at practice and asks the band leader what key they would be doing a particular song in.
He says: I thought we would start out in D do the second and third verses in Eb, then do the bridge in D, then throughout the last verse slide up from D to E natural".
She says," It may be kinda tough to get"
He says," Well, how did you do it last night?"
From: McGrath of Harlow
" there is an obvious difference between the tone of a string ringing its full length from the nut and one that's stopped some way up the neck with a capo. You don't need to be a guitarist to hear it. A capo is effectively a mute."
It depends on the capo. I'd dispute whether that is actually generally true.
From: RTim
I have checked thru my Marrowbones - ie. new 2007 version with the Gardiner songs and notes edited by fellow Mudcatter - Malcolm Douglas (thank you Malcolm)
I Can find NO Hammond songs in D Major with flattened - ie. natural CÕs.
However:-
Limbo H1275 - from James Blooming via Gardiner but tune collected by Mr. Gamblin and then revised later by Mr. J.C. Guyer and Mr. G Leake. Defined as Mixolydian/Ionian with inflection of 7th. - However some CÕs are natural, some remain sharp.
The Rambling Sailor H216 from George Digweed again in Gardiner but tune collected again by Gamblin. Again only some CÕs are naturals. (As an aside, I used to work with old Digweed's grandson!)
The Wonderful Sucking Pig H699 from Alfred Stride of Dibden once more in Gardiner but tune collected by Mr JC Guyer - as Ionian with inflextion on 7th. The natural CÕs only occur in the chorus. (again as an aside - The Stride family of Dibden used to run a second-hand shop in the village here I was born)
I have heard it said that Gardiner had to find someone to replace Gamblin because his notations were "suspect."
I have to add that all this means very little to me as a non musician (just a singer!!) but I am learning and it is very interesting - at least I think so!

From: GUEST,Rumncoke
I have tried to understand the theory of music and how to read dots, but I can't quite get it. I know that there are notes of a certain pitch and length and yet it never really translates into a tune.
I know that when I sing 'Sea Fever' I transpose it into a minor key, because I used to have a yacht - and now I don't, even though I live beside the sea.
The key, or perhaps it is the mode, makes all the difference. I don't know how or why, there is simply a right sound for the singer and song together.
So - The Button (whereever and whomever you are) - can you remember which song and singer Hammond collected from?
I will look at my Marrowbones tonight and see and if I can find what you speak of.
By the way - thanks everyone for the response thus far on this thread - Great!
(Who spent a large part of today checking which keys his source singer sang in and which keys I am going to record the same song in!)

Per Jack Campin:
"McGrath - there is an obvious difference between the tone of a string ringing its full length from the nut and one that's stopped some way up the neck with a capo. You don't need to be a guitarist to hear it. A capo is effectively a mute."
I'd argue that the truth lays somewhere in-between, but I'm leaning more towards McGrath's opinion. It's true that a capo may partially mute or muffle the fully ringing tone of a completely open string, but not nearly to the extent that a finger does. If nothing else, an un-fingered string ~ whether open all the way to the nut or just to the capoed fret ~ continues to sound between and through chord changes. A string held down by a fingertip is deadened the moment the finger ceases to fully depress it. Depending upon the player's stylistic intentions, and also his/her level of skill, the time that fingered strings remain firmly held and fully heard may be very short indeed.
I am a guitar player, of some 45+ years standing, and while I can't claim always to hear the difference between an instrument with or without a capo, nor ever to hear the key in which a piece is being played, I can very often hear the chord shapes being used for a given piece.
That is, I can often recognize the set of key-of-C guitar chords, even though I cannot be sure of the absolute pitch. The instrument may or may not be in correct tune, and may or may not be capoed at the first or second fret*, but I can recognize the C/F/G chords by their voicings/inversions, by the bass runs available to the player, and, yes, by the combination of fingered and open strings in each chord.
*If the capo is WAY up the neck, yes, of course, I can recognize that the overall pitch of the instrument is so high that a capo muct be involved.
From: Jack Campin
You find something like that in Scottish transcriptions for exactly one tune: Tullochgorum. It's mixolydian but was consistently printed for 200 years in a major key signature with the flattened sevenths added as accidentals. Whereas for every *other* mixolydian tune in the repertoire, every publisher notated it the simple way. I have never found an explanation; would anybody really be tempted to sing it in major if they weren't warned?
I'd forgotten about Simon Fraser, but his changes to traditional tunes went far beyond changing the mode - fantastically Italianate ornamentation and extending the melodies to impossible ranges. His lifetime project seemed to be trying to prove that the Scottish Highlanders could take on anybody in Europe at the game of gratuitous musical complication.He never said he was recording the way specific people played or sang, though, except for his father. And for all we know his father *did* do the tunes that way.
From: GUEST,the button (not at work, and not at home eit
Jack -- one of the things that Hammond did was notate a melody in D major, and then mark all the Cs as flatted. I can't give a songtitle, because I'm not in the same house as my copy of Marrowbones.
While that's accurate in one way (he notated that the singer consistently flatted the C), it suggests that he was trying to transcribe a tune in D major -- but that didn't fit cos the Cs were consistently flatted. But, to his trained ear, it was clear that the tune wasn't in E minor (i.e. the minor key with a sharp F but a flat C), but somewhere inbetween D major and E minor.
Of course, this isn't Hammond's problem -- he's up against the limits of the musical notation he was using.
McGrath - there is an obvious difference between the tone of a string ringing its full length from the nut and one that's stopped some way up the neck with a capo. You don't need to be a guitarist to hear it. A capo is effectively a mute.
From: Jim Lad
I usually try about 4 or 5 different keys for each song but it's not my comfort level that I'm interested in. Too high can sound strained and too low will bore the listener.
When I'm not sure, I record it and listen.
As for the instrument... I have coal miner's fingers and never was trained in an instrument. I can pretty well play in any key but during a 3 or 4 hour gig will stick to playing in G, C. Dm & Am and capo up. I am better able to hear/feel the changes and thus able to concentrate more on my job.
There is absolutely no doubt though that the instruments sound far richer when unshackled.
As for the song... if singing is a way of enhancing the words then the more you can do to beautify the sound, the better. So I would say that choosing the right key for you and singing it as well as you can is the most important thing of all.
If the instrument of your choice is not well suited, there are always other instruments and other opportunities.
I think you misunderstood what I was saying, Jack. If you capo up and play the same chord shapes, you have the same open strings, just a bit higher, and you are of course playing in a different key.
"if you always start on a particular note, you're always singing in the same key. " But of course that note doesn't tell you what the key is, and knowing the key doesn't tell you what the start note is. It's the end note that you use to determine the key (most of the time). The start note can be just about anything, depending on the tune.
From: Marje
Just to pick up on a few points:
Using a "start note" rather than identifying a key comes to the same thing for a simple melody. if you always start on a particular note, you're always singing in the same key. The difficulties stare when you're singing in harmony with others, as you may have two or more different start notes. Once you know they key and get a chord or arpeggio of that key, everyone can find their start note.
If Dylan insisted on having a harmonica in the correct key rather than tune the guitar to the harmonica, this would be because he needed to have the right key for his voice, which would otherwise have been out of its optimum range (I know he always sounded as if this was the case anyway ..)
It's got nothing to do with "Celtic tonation", which I think is a meaningless term - Riverdance etc were played/ recorded largely in the same tempered tuning as is used for most other Western music, and indeed in a more highly processed and synthetic form than much traditional music. It's fast and metronomic and loud and tuneful - there's nothing remotely mystical about it.
Marje
McGrath - there is an absolutely obvious difference between playing with a capo and without: Without, there will be open strings,which have a very different sound. I am not a guitarist, can't tell the difference in tone between guitars varying a hundredfold in price, but that one sticks out a mile.
From: Suegorgeous
Wow, Don, you've just given me a really cool idea of how to sound like I know what I'm doing really when I sing a wrong note! (not that I ever do, of course) :)
Often the early song collectors who actually wrote down the tunes (many of them didn't, interested only in "ancient poetry") assumed that the singers were unschooled musicians and if they heard what they thought was a "wrong note," they'd write down what they thought the note should have been. Cecil Sharp was one of the first collectors to write down the notes he actually heard.
Examining the tunes later, he made the discovery that the old ecclesiastical modes from centuries past were still alive and well and living among traditional singers. The singers were not singing "wrong notes," they were singing the notes they intended.
If they sound the same to me, they are the same to me. Especially when they are played on the same fret.
On a fretted instrument it obviously makes a great difference what fingerings are used, so playing in G without a capo is difference from playing in G with a capo on the third fret, using E chord shapes. But whether there is any real difference in the "TONE and COLOR and therefore EMOTION" when it's just a matter of capoing up and playing the same fingering, but in a different key - I'd question whether that is actually true.
It may possibly be for people with perfect pitch, but not for the rest of us anyway.
Have you actually LOOKED at what the "early song collectors" did? It's not that difficult to find published collections of field transcriptions, there is no need to guess.
Unless you are looking at sources from more than 100 years ago, the usual procedure was to notate the song in a standard key (like finalis on G) and also say what the singer's key was.
From: Mr Happy
it's my opinion that its very unlikely that the early song collectors notated their gleanings in the key the singer used.
I base this opinion on experiences of hearing unaccompanied singers peforming in no recognisable 'true key'.
This being particularly noticeable if instrumentalists [in concert pitch] attempt accompaniment

Your thread question is not as simple as you recently restated it.
IF you are going to do....My motives for asking the original question has to do with the project/CD I am working on at present. I am going to record a large proportion of a particular singers collected repertoise, and there are also going to be instrumental versions of the some of his other songs interleaving the unaccompanied vocals.
KEY is VITAL!!!!
......Unless this a YouTube re-mix....then anything ... who cares... "the masses are asses."
Hystograms can be used in photography, music, art, medical spectography - catscans - FBI/NSA internet profiles - etc.
For a musical analogy: 1.You take a "finger-print" of the vocal
2.You take the instrumental (any)
3.Using the vocalist you "morph" the instrumental to fit
For free usage - checkout "Garage Band"...it is simple and neat and best of all free. Expect about a 20 hour "learning curve."

McGrath-
Flats and Sharps are NOT the same.
The Well Tempered Harpsicord/Clavichord is an example of the "Great Compromise" that came with keyboard instruments....an approximation....with only one note being "true."
A violinist - (and conductor and music theorist) understands the difference. It is a fascinating history involving the great "Three Bees".
Rockhen - ROFL!!!
Why DID NOT Dylan have in his kit a correctly keyed harmonica?
Musicians (folk in particular) are freqently like Magicians.
So much lies in the lie of "spontaneous illusion;" it is part of the performance.
Unlike Keith Moon (who might not be relied upon to finish a live set) Dylan anticipated/excepted to have the strength to perform "curtain calls" that is why the acoustic was always available in the wings.
Does changing the Key also change the song?
It might not change the TUNE - but it can certainly affect TONE and COLOR and therefore EMOTION.
"Longfellow Seranade" (Neil Diamond) has a brillance in the Key of E (four sharps)
Sure - it could also go into the key of C.
However - there is a COLOR to E that is different than C.
It was probably the novelty of Celtic Tonation (alien/mystic/different to most American ears)that attributed to the hugely popular success of the "Irish Export" Riverdance and Lord of the Dance
The more accomplished the historian, perhaps the more the nuances of exact pitch (slides, slurs, accidentals) were noticed and recorded in notation.
Why do some guitar players use a capo? The emotion is right in another key and they lack the ability to transpose or time to retune.
Notice all the recent "Dylan documentary" ...notice also .... when going "spontanious acoustic" what harp (harmonica) he requests. His sound was distinctly different to the American ear. Frequently in the key of E. Notice also, he has performs the song in only one key, if the wrong pitch of harmonica is tossed on stage, he throws it out and tries another till the pitch to match his practice is found. He could of changed his guitar to match the harmonica (too much work). We all have our own unique comfort zones with tones.
"...your voice can change from day to day..." Can be worth check where your voice on the night is by singing the song unaccompanied into a guitar tuner in the car, and seeing what key you are singing it in. Then adjust your accompaniment to fit. (Thank God for capos.)

Getting the start note right is the important thing, and you can be thrown out by the acoustics of the room or the background noise or 1000 other factors. Two or three semitones out is not unusual for me, and it can be five or more! But depending on the tune it may not matter: When the Saints has a range of only a fifth, so if you can sing an octave and a half you can do it in all 12 keys!
Usually I can tell within the first bar or so if it's right or not, and can often "drift" the key down (or up) to the key I want. Unless some bastard decides to jump in with an accompaniment in the key I'm trying to escape from and locks me in!
One place where I sometimes have trouble is when I have learned a song from a single recorded source: I sometimes find that, despite attempts to transpose to "my" key, I have learned the tune in absolute, rather than relative pitch, and will reproduce the key of the source singer rather than my own. For instance, Mrs Costello's version of The Cruel Mother has a range of only a 6th, but I often start it in her key (an octave or two down) and end up singing it right down in my boots, struggling to reach the low notes.
It has also been mentioned above that your voice can change from day to day (or even hour to hour). My "comfortable" range is about an octave and a half from A to the D above the next A. But that A is not 440, it is the lowest note that I can comfortably hit at this moment without sounding growly. So a song that I think of as singing in D may actually be done in C or F tonight and still sound right because that's where my voice is right now.

Such as Kitekat
Could get confusing...
Off the thread for a second, sorry...I am IN England...maybe my ""The black notes 'feel' nicer on a piano as they are all smooth and a little like kitkats (which are a chocolate snack ...in case they are native to Britain!)wasn't clear. I merely explained what Kitkats were IN CASE they are not sold elsewhere and people thought they were catfood or something... :-)
Ahhh....the simplicity of statements like Trevor's is music to me ears.... :)
My point was that sharp keys and flat keys are the same keys with different names.
Doesn't matter whether you call it Bflat or Asharp I still won't choose it to play in. Or rather I'd use a capo.
But nothing wrong with playing in F. It's a lovely key to play a guitar in, with my favourite relative minor.
"The black notes 'feel' nicer on a piano as they are all smooth and a little like kitkats (which are a chocolate snack ...in case they are native to Britain!)" No need to explain. KitKats were invented in England. Glad to hear they apparently caught on in America.
So ~ that fact that I've always had the most trouble tuning up my guitar's B string indicates that I have a good ear?
Nice to know that...
From: GUEST,JohnB
We never really know/bother what specific key we are singing in.
However, we have a start note and sometimes, for some songs, it takes quite a while to determine that note. Some of this is a "Range" issue, some is not. A difference of a semi-tone sometimes makes a song sound/feel right to us (3 of us Sop Alto Tenor in choral range) I wish I knew why. What the correct start note does though, which I can explain is "I don't get really dirty looks from the Alto"
Would someone who knows these things like to address the differences of major and minor key sounds, cos that does make a difference.
From: GUEST,highlandman
Great thread!
As an organist and amateur tuner/builder I get into tuning technology quite heavily. The historical aspect of it -- particularly that equal temperament was a theoretical pipe dream until the dawn of electronic tuning -- is fascinating and worth some googling.
My church's organ is kept in a historical, non-equal temperament, and believe me there is a difference between keys there!
One thing I would point out to my fellow guitarists: keep in mind that the fretted guitar is a bastard instrument, fretted on an approximately equal temperament but usually tuned string-to-string as if it were "just" intonation. That's why some people with sensitive ears futz with their guitars so much. Which is not to say that someone who doesn't tinker with the tuning on stage has a bad ear -- many guitarists learn, through experience, how to quickly "temper" the string-to-string tuning to get away from, for example, the nasty sharp open b-string effect.
From: Trevor Thomas
The original question is about unaccompanied singing?
Why on earth do you even need to know what the key is when you're singing unaccompanied? Just sing it how you want. Just don't start too high/too low if the song contains notes that you might struggle to reach.
You only need to think about keys if you're playing with other people.
From: Jess A
my 10p worth in relation to the original question - I'd agree with others here that key mainly affects instrumentation and vocal ranges so it varies from one person or band to another and that is what is most important. As a member of a band singing (some of the time) in close unaccompanied harmony I'm constatntly amazed by how moving something by as little as a semitone seems to affect our mutual vocal comfort zone.
as far as collecting from traditional performers is concerned, I struggle to believe that they weren't affected by the same stuff as we are now - so would have picked the key that suited them. And I agree, collectors may not have notated in actual key sung,
Does it matter if it is changed? surely not!
Does changing the Key also change the song? no, I don't think so....
...that said, I used to have a theory while spending time as a student busking on solo fiddle that people in the street gave more money for tunes played in G major than for D major. No idea why - I speculated that culturally maybe people were predisposed to find G major happier. Although it could have been to do with pitch - maybe higher pitched or lower pitched worked better to cut through busy street noise. I never did invest the time to do a proper scientific experiment (I was studying maths & statistics at then time so was thinking about it in quite a geeky way) but I'd have been interested to try it, with the same tune in different keys, to see if in the long term it really did work out that some keys were better money makers. Of course, I would have had to consider other factors like geographical area etc as well otherwise I wouldn't have really been able to generalise my results outside of the towns I normally frequented. But, alas, I never did collect the data and am far too busy these days to spend the time doing the busking.
"Woodwinds and brass instruments are easier to play in flat keys. Strings are easier in sharp keys.
But all flat keys are also sharp keys, just with a different name. I mean B-flat is A sharp and so forth."
That's not the point, Kevin. Let me put it this way: since a guitar is a stringed instrument, are you happier playing in G, D, A, and E than you are in F, Bb, Eb, or Ab? (And no, no capo allowed.)
It's because of the fingering. Fingerings in sharp keys on the guitar are easier than they are in flat keys. Among other things, once you get into flat keys on the guitar, you have fewer and fewer open strings available and you're lumbered with a lot of barre chords.
The same kind of fingering considerations apply to other stringed instruments. Easier to play in keys with sharps in the key signatures. A similar situation applies to brass and woodwind instruments. The fingerings are easier in keys with flats in the key signatures. It is a characteristic of the mechanics of the particular instruments in question.
The fact that if you wanted to play a Bb or an A# you would play the same fret or press the same key on a clarinet is totally irrelevant to what I am saying.
Anybody got anymore to add particularly about singing unaccompanied - which was the real question to begin with?
It was my mum's mum's - which we got from here - and now my brother took it 20 years ago and had it repoloished and retuned....
From: Big Al Whittle
he stretched your piano......!
From: Newport Boy
Foolestroupe - I think your piano might need tuning again by now!!
"Equal temperament is NOT based on C and can't have anything to do with it."
"Pianos are never really tuned to equal temperament. Look up "stretch tuning", "
Well the piano tuner who visited us in the 1960s claimed it was 'equal', but he did it by hand, counting beats and 'stretching'... and he DID it in C.... :-)
You see the real answer to the original question partly depends on what instrument....

Joffrey’s Russian Masters: Review
Posted on September 20, 2013 by Vicki
Joffrey's Joanna Wozniak in "Le Sacre du Printemps". Photo by Roger Mastroianni.
Russian choreographers don’t do light and fluffy. At least the ones presented in The Joffrey Ballet‘s Russian Masters program don’t. The four works on the bill, which opened last night and runs through Sunday, span nearly a century of dancemaking and represent pure aesthetic dancing to literally dancing oneself to death. Great “Russian masters” Balanchine, Nijinski, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky and Khachaturian were joined by the only living artist represented, San Francisco Ballet’s choreographer in residence, Yuri Possokhov, for an evening of daring, dramatic dancing accompanied by the phenomenal Chicago Philharmonic.
Balanchine’s 1956?Allegro Brilliante opened the program with a dazzling display of pure dance. No story to follow here, just fast feet and sparkling technique. Not surprising, the perky cast, lead by the lovely April Daly and Dylan Gutierriez, studied or danced at places that have a heavy Balanchine/neoclassical influence in their rep: Washington Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet and, of course, School of American Ballet. Their solid grasp and love for the style/technique (speedy petite allegro, elongated lines, open arabesque, etc.) really shined. I guess it could be considered light in comparison to the rest of the evening, but definitely not fluffy. Any Balanchine work is hard – understatement – but these dancers were more than up to the task.
A 2012 duet by Possokhov created on Victoria Jaiani and Temur Suluashvili (look, more Russians!) set to an adagio from Spartacus?proved a dramatic display obviously focused on Jaiani’s incredibly flexible technical facility. Adagio incorporated interesting inside/out partnering with tricky, twisted grips (some more solid than others) and some trust-inspiring inverted lifts in the couple’s first pas de deux of the night. Possokhov’s Bells, created for Joffrey in 2011, provides another “pure dance” piece, in that there is no story, just his interpretation of the music and some clever creative tweaks on classical technique and traditional Russian folk dance. Slides en pointe, snapping fingers, kisses on each cheek add a fun element to the devilishly difficult choreography. Pas de deuxs by Anastacia Holden and Matthew Adamczyk (flirty), Daly and Fabrice Calmels (sultry), and Jaiani and Suluashvili (passionate) did not disappoint.
The highlight of the evening was the 1987 reconstruction by Millicent Hodson of Vaslav Nijinsky’s Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring) celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. In an introductory video of the work, Hodson called it “the ballet that changed the course of history”. Its premiere in 1913 famously invoked a riot in Paris due to the discordant music, non-traditional choreography and shocking ending. The dancers stomp, flat-footed with turned in feet, fall to the ground repeatedly wearing pagan villagers costumes complete with painted faces, braids and animal skins. The “Rite” is a virgin sacrifice of “The Chosen One” (danced with haunting brilliance by Joanna Wozniak) where she must dance until she dies. The women of the clan offer her up as the weakest link and leave her alone to be encircled by the men, who oversee her fate. (Thanks ladies!) Wozniak stands center stage with her head tilted, palms out, feet turned in, still and staring at the audience for what seems like forever only to suddenly burst into rapid, consecutive jumps…a LOT of them. She eventually drops to the ground and the men lift her dead body to the sky. The End. What an image to finish the night on.
An enormous BRAVO to the Chicago Philharmonic and director Scott Speck for a fantastic evening of music. From the beautiful Khachaturian adagio (which sounded so perfect and like a recorded soundtrack that I had to check to make sure it was live) to the notoriously difficult to play – and to listen to – Stravinsky score, they played everything to perfection.

Joffrey Sneak Peek: The Green Table
Kurt Jooss' "The Green Table". Photo by Herbert Migdoll.
This Wednesday, The Joffrey Ballet presents its fall program at The Auditorium Theatre (through Sunday, October 28). Human Landscapes delves into the human spirit with offerings from three distinctively different choreographic voices from three different eras. James Kudelka’s Pretty BALLET was created for the Joffrey dancers in 2010, Jir? Kyli?n’s Forgotten Land in 1981 and Kurt Jooss’ anti-war ballet, The Green Table, was created? in 1932. While the first two show how ballet has grown in the contemporary realm in recent decades, the latter strips ballet down to the bare essentials.
?Kudelka has the dancers pushing limits of endurance and questioning the necessary beauty of ballet (much of Pretty BALLET isn’t traditionally pretty), while Kyli?n challenges dancers to push past safe classical style and to go for moves that are off-center. Jooss uses simple steps and gestures to create strong, human feelings. Artistic Director Ashley Wheater loves the juxtaposition of the three works and says the evening will take you on an emotional journey.
I spoke with Wheater and Jeanette Vondersaar, who is here working with the dancers and setting The Green Table: A Dance of Death in Eight Scenes at Joffrey Tower in late September. Vondersaar was a principal dancer with the Dutch National Ballet in Amsterdam for 21 years and has been restaging The Green Table (originally assisting Jooss’ oldest daughter Anna Markard) since 1995. The Joffrey has included Table in its repertoire since 1967. “I actually saw that performance in ’67 in New York,” said Vondersaar. “I was a trainee with the Harkness School for Ballet Arts. It impressed in my mind, especially the role of ‘Death’. I’ll never forget that.”
What is it about this ballet? Was it something no one had seen before?
AW: It goes back to the danse macabre. You go back culturally to how death…what’s the role it plays in our lives?
JV: It’s inevitable.
AW: It is. It doesn’t matter, you can be the richest person in the world, but we all have to go.
JV: Kurt Jooss was inspired by the medieval dances of death. How he (Death) took those victims from different walks of life and ages. He was fascinated with how he took victims, sometimes violently and sometimes more compassionately. At that time it was between two world wars and he was against the war and what happens after to the people who have suffered from the war. It shows that too. It depicts the whole story.
AW: It was very clear that even though the first World War was over that there was another war looming. And I think if you look at history, there’s always another war.
JV: It’s very relevant. The table scene is the diplomats and the politicians who decide to go to war, but they don’t participate themselves. But at the end, it repeats as if nothing happened, so it’s looming. They don’t learn anything from what happened and a lot of them don’t care.
AW: I would say that The Green Table is such an important piece of work. It has a very clear point of view and it’s not apologetic, yet it’s got so much clarity around it. It’s a very clear statement.
JV: It’s an anti-war statement.
Stylistically, what is different about this ballet?
JV: It’s based on classical ballet. In classical ballet you have a breath or an uplift before a movement and in his movements, they go direct with no preparation. It’s right to the point. The most simple movements…even just the focus of how you look using your eyes. Or your hands and how you open them. If you have your fingers bent, it changes the whole feeling of this openness and this reaching with an open hand an an open heart. This is the kind of thing he developed. It’s so simple and yet so beautiful in its simplicity.
AW: People try to say it’s German Expressionism. I think it’s expressive in that it’s choreographed. He has expressed everything about each character and it’s all done through movement. Movement that’s not complicated. It’s hard to do, but it’s not complicated. There’s no flourish. It is really condensing an emotion to a very straight-forward level.
JV: And within that shows the character.

Joffrey’s Don Q: Q for Questioning
Derrick Agnoletti & Fabrice Calmels in "Don Quixote". Photo by Herbert Migdoll.
The sets were amazing, the costumes stunning, the integration of video/images imaginative, the score fast and flamboyant, the life-size horse puppet fantastic, the choreography ambitious, the characters lovable, so why am I left with the feeling something was off? Last night’s premiere of? Yuri Possoknov’s version of Don Quixote for the Joffrey Ballet at the Auditorium Theatre had all the elements for a spectacular opening night, but it just didn’t quite get there.? That may be a bit harsh.? It was a wonderful show and sure to be a huge hit with audiences, but some of casting and staging were questionable and at times it seemed more like a full dress run and not up to the bar Joffrey has set for themselves.? The show was held for twenty minutes due to a medical emergency (someone slipped and fell in the lobby), which may have had a negative effect on the dancers.? I should also note that I sat in the third row, which was too close for my taste, and the ballet seemed almost too big for the stage.
Victoria Jaiani as Kitri in "Don Quixote". Photo by Herbert Migdoll.
Let’s start with the good stuff – and there was more than plenty.? First, Victoria Jaiani as Kitri was fantastic as we have come to expect.? Her fiery, flirty interpretation seemed second nature (although she seemed uncharacteristically nervous in parts of Act I) and I assume, growing up in Tbilisi, Georgia, she was practically weened on the part.? Her ridiculous flexibility was on full display particularly in Kitri’s Act I solo with Plisetskaya leaps (named after Maya Plisetskaya who made them famous with the Bolshoi) where she literally kicks the back of her head.? But why was she carrying castanets if she wasn’t playing them?? The Act II wedding pas de deux coda famously has a run of thirty-two fouettes.? Jaiani’s was spot on, even tossing in doubles every third turn in the first half.? From my seat, while watching her turn, I could perfectly see her husband Temur Suluashvili’s face behind her beaming with love and pride.? Jaiani’s partner (hired to replace the injured Miguel Angel Blanco), Cuban guest artist Carlos Quenedit, was charming, charismatic and mui talented, although I kept wondering “who is this guy?”? The program only notes (with an asterisk) that he’s a guest artist.? He was great and would be a lovely addition to the Joffrey family, but why hire a guest artist?
Amber Neumann & Anastacia Holden in "Don Quixote". Photo by Herbert Migdoll.
The other star of the show was the puppet.? Crafted by Von Orthal Puppets, Rocinante, Don Q’s faithful companion was fresh and endearing addition to the cast performed by Shane Urton and Alberto Velazquez.? The creation, nicknamed Otis by the company, only appeared in a few scenes which was a shame.? Free Otis!? More of the horse please.? All of the character parts were perfectly played.? Fabrice Calmels as Don Quixote (dashing, distracted), Derrick Agnoletti as Sancho Panza (delightfully bumbling), Willy Shives as Lorenzo (deliciously daft) and Matthew Adamczyk as Gamache (scene-stealingly silly).? Soloists Amber Neumann and Stacia Holden were stand outs as Kitri’s friends.? The corps — toreadors, seguidillas, dryads and bridesmaids — were outstanding and, aside from Kitri, did most of the dancing.? Two female solo variations beautifully danced by Amber Neumann and Jeraldine Mendoza inserted in the middle of the Act II pas de deux seemed out of place and unnecessary.? Equally perplexing was the need for the character Mercedes, a street dancer (Alexis Polito) who danced in the village with the toreadors.? No offense to Polito who danced a lovely solo amidst daggers ingeniously stuck to the floor with frightening intensity, but I failed to see how her character aided the story line.
Victoria Jaiani & Carlos Quenedit in "Don Quixote". Photo by Herbert Migdoll.
The audience at first seemed timid and unsure of how to react to such a bold and ambitious production.? Case in point:? Kitri and Basilio do these amazing one-handed presage lifts about six times.? The first four are done in pairs and in quick succession separated by supported pirouettes.? Fair enough, the lift might not have been held long enough for them to really see what was going on.? The second two are held for a sustained period of time – long enough for Jaiani to hold, look at audience and shake her tambourine before coming down – with the orchestra (Chicago Sinfonietta) holding for effect.? The first lift…nothin’.? The second, held long enough for Quenedit to carry her? – with one hand! -? across the entire stage.? I laughed out loud before obnoxiously clapping, wondering what it was going to take to get these people going.? Luckily, they came around and were clapping to the music enthusiastically during the finale.? Over all, it was a tremendous undertaking that, once a few kinks are figured out (particularly the long, awkward “pause” in Act II), will delight for the entire two week run.? As Artistic Director Ashley Wheater said last week, “I think the company will grow into it.”? I think they will and hope Don Q will be in Joffrey’s rep for a long, long time.

Joffrey Waxes Quixotic
Joffrey dancers Victoria Jaiani & Miguel Angel Blanco. Photo by Sandro.
This Wednesday, October 12th, Joffrey Ballet premieres a new version of Don Quixote at the Auditorium Theatre. The two act re-envisioning of Cervantes classic literary tale brings humor, drama and love to life with bravura dancing and a dash of horseplay.? Choreographed by Yuri Possokhov (former star of the Bolshoi Ballet and current resident choreographer at San Francisco Ballet), the ballet promises to continue the Russian classical traditions, while adding in his charismatic flair.? Possokhov delighted Chicago audiences last spring with Joffrey’s premiere of his commissioned work Bells.? His history with Don Q is long.? “I was ten years old first time I dance in this ballet,” he says in halted English at an Artists Talk Series lecture hosted by Instituto Cervantes last week.? The Bolshoi is the only company to keep Don Q “alive” in it’s rep with every generation passing? it on to the next.? “It’s a gift for him to pass onto this generations of Joffrey dancers,”? says Artistic Director Ashley Wheater of Possokhov’s vast base of knowledge with this ballet.? “I think the company will grow into it.”
How do you take a classic that’s over 140 years old and make it fresh?? “I had to make some twist, something that belongs to this city, this company,” says Possokhov.? That twist includes a more dancing for Don Quixote, which is traditionally more a character role, projections and video by Wendall Harrington integrated to help particularly in the dream sequences, plus a life-size horse puppet created by Von Orthal Puppets operated by male dancers in the company (insert horse’s ass joke here).? Along with the lively score by Ludwig Minkus (played live by the Chicago Sinfonietta, the Joffrey-ized Don Q will surely keep you on the edge of your seat.? Shortly before Possokhov was set to come to Chicago to set the ballet, the Golden Gate Park Windmills, which had been under restorative construction for years, began to spin.? “Is good sign.”

S. Maria in Monticelli
(Vasi at work in the Grand View of Rome)
Links to this page can be found in Book 6, Day 7, View C8 and Rione Regola.
The page covers:
The plate by Giuseppe Vasi
Today's view
Case di S. Paolo
Palazzo Panizza
Palazzo Santacroce Pasolini
Casa di Alessandro Lancia
The Plate (No. 112)
In 1756 when Giuseppe Vasi published his book on the parish churches of Rome he could choose the twenty churches which illustrated the book among seventy-two. He might have chosen S. Maria in Monticelli because it housed the relics of five martyrs from Palermo in Sicily and Vasi was born near that city.
The view shows a part of Rione Regola which, although being very close to the River Tiber, was not affected by floods, because it was located on a small mound (monticelli = small mountains).
The view is taken from the green dot in the small 1748 map here below. In the description below the plate Vasi made reference to: 1) S. Maria in Monticelli; 2) Palazzo del Marchese Panizza; 3) Palazzo Santacroce opposite S. Carlo ai Catinari. The small map shows also 4) Case di S. Paolo; 5) S. Carlo ai Catinari and 6) Casa di Alessandro Lancia. The dotted line in the small map delineates the border between Rione Regola and Rione S. Eustachio (upper right corner).
(left) The view in April 2009; (centre/right) the bell tower
The street shown in the left part of the plate ended at a beach on the river which Vasi showed in another plate. The redesign of the river banks in the 1880s impacted on the street which is now a dead end. In 1914 the construction of Ministero di Grazia e Giustizia, a huge building, led to demolishing the houses opposite the church.
The bell tower was built in the XIIth century and it was taller, but the two upper storeys were pulled down in the early XVIIth century; its lower part has been stripped of its XVIIIth century facing.

S. Maria in Monticelli is a very old church, but it was almost entirely rebuilt in the XIIth century; in 1715 a major restoration was promoted by Pope Clement XI. The new façade was designed by Matteo Sassi and it had a (lost) coat of arms of the pope at its top; the heraldic symbols of the pope however can be seen in some details of the decoration. In 1726 the church was assigned to Padri Dottrinari (Christian Doctrine Fathers) who still have their headquarters in the adjoining monastery.

Giuseppe Vasi always commended the initiatives taken by the Popes (the publication of his books needed to be authorized by a commission of three high-ranking priests). In a rare breach of his line of conduct he had harsh words for the way the interior of the church was redesigned and in particular for the almost total destruction of the ancient mosaic which decorated the apse. It showed Jesus Christ standing on a small mountain out of which four streams representing the gospels flowed. In the lower part of the mosaic some sheep drank from them. The symbols of the Four Evangelists were depicted in the background. It might have been similar to the mosaic in the apse of S. Prassede.
S. Maria in Monticelli is very near S. Paolo alla Regola which was built upon an ancient house where St. Paul lived while awaiting trial. A group of XIIIth century houses on the left side of the church are called Case di S. Paolo; several granite columns taken from ancient buildings were used to build their porches; they now house offices of the adjoining Ministero di Grazia e Giustizia.
(left) Overall view; (right-above) detail of the decoration (the shell is shown in the image used as background for this page); (right-below) detail of a portal of a small palace near Palazzo Paniza
Palazzo Panizza was designed in 1694 by Simone Felice Delino and it is an interesting late XVIIth century building with an elaborate relief in the portal. Vasi names it after a Marquis Paniz(z)a, but there is not such a family in the directory of the Roman noble families; the surname is typical of northern Italy, especially of Mantua, and so maybe Marquis Panizza lived in the palace on a temporary basis.
(left) Façade opposite S. Carlo ai Catinari; (right) detail
The Santacroce were one of the oldest families of Rome; they had their houses in Rione Sant'Angelo where they built an elegant Renaissance palace. They acquired great wealth in the late XVIth century thanks to Cardinal Prospero Santacroce who introduced the use of tobacco in the Papal State. His heirs played a major role in its merchandising and in 1598 they were able to start the construction of a large palace opposite S. Carlo ai Catinari. It was completed in 1630-1640 by Francesco Peparelli and enlarged in 1670-1672 by Giovanni Antonio de' Rossi. The latter designed also an elegant small adjoining garden.
Detail of the main portal; the coat of arms shows a rampant lion holding a quince branch (left), the heraldic symbol of the Sforza di Santa Fiora, and the cross of the Santacroce (their surname means Holy Cross)
The late XIXth century coat of arms on the main portal calls to mind one of the most beautiful and influential women of her time. Countess Vincenza di Santa Fiora, née Santacroce, is said to have been the mistress of King Umberto I of Italy, who was married to Queen Margherita, another beautiful woman.
(left) View from the courtyard across Vicolo dei Catinari, a narrow side street; (centre) XVIIIth century fountain showing Venus in a shell in the former garden; (right) bridge linking the palace to the garden, similar to those at Via della Pilotta. The three sitting men from Eritrea had temporarily left the church where they attended Mass to answer/make telephone calls
Palazzo Santacroce was built in an overcrowded neighbourhood, so its owners had to content themselves with a small pensive garden and an even smaller garden at ground level. Similar to what was done at nearby Palazzo Spada a fountain provided a fine perspective to those standing in the courtyard of the palace.
(left) A statue in the courtyard; (centre) fragments of ancient statues and inscriptions; the coat of arms resembles that of the Caetani, the family of Pope Boniface VIII, but it actually belongs to the Pasolini dall'Onda, a family from Ravenna who bought the palace in 1904; (right) reliefs showing a mother pelican striking her breast with the beak to feed her young with her own blood, a symbol of the Passion of Jesus Christ, which can be seen in the decoration of S. Maria in Publicolis, a church where many Santacroce were buried, and at Oriolo, a fiefdom of the family
Vanishing fresco with the coat of arms of Pope Paul III in 2009 ...
The street leading from the bridge of Palazzo Santacroce to the small church of S. Salvatore in Campo (today the church of the Eritrean community in Rome) is very narrow and the unaware passer-by may fail to notice the painted façade of a Renaissance house. It belonged to Alessandro Lancia who held important positions in the Papal court at the time of Pope Paul III. You may wish to see another colour painted Renaissance palace. This kind of decoration was a development of that based on the graffito technique which was rather popular in the early XVIth century (see Palazzo Ricci and Palazzi di Via della Maschera d'Oro).
... and in 2015
You may notice that in this and other Renaissance houses windows were placed at a distance from one another which provided room for paintings.

Excerpts from Giuseppe Vasi 1761 Itinerary related to this page:
Chiesa e Convento di s. Maria in Monticelli
Prese un tal nome questa antichissima chiesa dal monticello, sopra cui si alza tanto, che nell'anno 1598. inondando il Tevere per questi contorni la notte del s. Natale, questa restò illesa. Della sua fondazione altro non si fa, se non che l'an. 1120. tu ristaurata e consagrata da Pasquale II. osservandosene i mosaici nella tribuna e le colonne di granito, ora nascoste ne' pilastri, per l'ultima ristaurazione fatta da Clemente XI. Fu collegiata insigne, ma poi essendo unita a quella di s. Lorenzo in Damaso, rimase quì solamente la cura della parrocchia, e da Benedetto XIII. fu conceduta ai Preti della Dottrina Cristiana. Sono in questa i corpi di s. Mamiliano Arcivescovo di Palermo, s. Golbodeo. s. Procolo, san Eustozio, e s. Ninfa; Martiri; e vi sono delle pitture riguardevoli.
Palazzo Santacroce
Scendendo poi per la via a sinistra, si vede quello magnifico palazzo con una sa piazza, il quale ora si proseguisce con uguale disegno, verso la chiesa di s. Carlo a' Catenari. E' da notarsi, che nel fare i fondamenti di quest'ultima aggiunta fu scoperta una colonna di granito egizio di grossezza uguale a quelle del Panteon, con alcuni frammenti di iscrizioni; similimente anni sono cavandosi i fondamenti della casa del forno, che sta nel cantone incontro, fu trovata una gran conca di granito, e piedistallo compagno, quali ora si vedono nella villa Albani.

It helps to know that you’re not alone
Whatley Wanes at Webster, Pulls Through at Purdue
Web posted August 6, 2012
MERRIWETHER – In a hard-fought midwestern series, S.C. Chess Champion, Tori Whatley, suffered a few setbacks in a Missouri tournament and then battled fiercely for a trophy finish in Indiana. As an official invitee to the 9th Annual Susan Polgar Girl’s Invitational, Tori Whatley walked across the stage at the Loretto Hilton Center on the campus of Webster University in St. Louis to accept her medal from the Susan Polgar Foundation.
The invitational tournament was played from July 22nd through July 27th, and was one of the most competitive Polgar tournaments in recent years. The tournament featured a blitz match, in which, she won 3.5 out of 7 games. In the main event, she scored 2 out of 6 games, with a round 5 mistake costing her the opportunity to match her Polgar series best of 3 points. “We left one on the table in round 5”, reported Merriwether Mavericks chess coach, David Whatley. “Tori was firmly in control of the game, but a miscalculation swung it in favor of her opponent”, he said.
Missouri’s Zoe Lemon took round 1 in an exhausting King’s Indian Defense (E61) that lasted for 67 moves. Another Missourian, Kendra Fee, fell to Whatley on her 38th move in round 2. Jiaying Cai from Maine won round 3 in 50 moves. Arizona’s Bria Castro would win the round 4 Reti Opening (A04) in 32 moves. The round 5, Pirc Classical (Two Knights) System (B08) went to Yvonne Ward of Utah. Tori faced Gisele Delgado of Texas for the final 6th round. Gisele played a valiant Reti, but came up short against the Palmetto state champion. Whatley gave all of her opponents a Frisbee with the South Carolina state flag printed on them.
Tori commented on how much she enjoys the strong field of female competition. “Not enough girls play chess, but when you come to the Polgar, you can see that there are many strong female players. It helps to know that you’re not alone, and I want to thank Susan for giving us the opportunity to play and for showing us that we can achieve anything we put our minds to.”
Tori’s first opponent in her 2008 Polgar debut, Michelle Ferrell from Oklahoma, flew in from Washington, D.C. to root for her younger sister, Hannah, who is the current Oklahoma champion. Upon sight of one another, Tori and Michelle jumped up for quick hugs and some catch-up conversation. “Their reunion embodies the spirit of this competition. When these girls leave here, they are friends for life”, said Mr. Whatley.
Before leaving St. Louis, the Whatleys visited the City Museum, the Gateway Arch, the World Chess Hall of Fame and the St. Louis Chess Club & Scholastic Center, where Tori was photographed with International Grandmaster Ben Finegold.
After an evening drive, the Whatleys arrived in West Lafayette, Indiana where Tori played the following day in the “Summer Knight” chess tournament, a five-round scholastic event, on the campus of Purdue University. She “galvanized” during the drive, according to her father. The determination resulted in her going 3 out of 5 against a sturdy field and securing the fifth place trophy.
Swinging back over to Springfield, Illinois, father and daughter spent a little time visiting one of Mr. Whatley’s former shipmates who was kind enough to take them on a tour of Abraham Lincoln’s Tomb. They also visited Mr. Lincoln’s Presidential Museum and the village of New Salem, where the 16th president resided for several years.
Tori and her dad, David, are looking forward to coaching the Merriwether Mavericks Scholastic Chess Club, which will celebrate its 10th year this coming school year. Tori’s sister, Mandy, serves as club secretary and coordinator, making the club a real family affair. The club is open to all Merriwether elementary and middle school students. Mr. Whatley’s association with national chess author, John Herron, will result in this years club being the first in the country to use “Total Chess - Learn, Teach and Play the Easy 1-2-3 Way” as its curriculum.
For more information you can send an email to Mr. Whatley at whatleydavid@bellsouth.net, or visit their Facebook page at Merriwether Mavericks Scholastic Chess Club to see more about the program. Mr. Whatley can also be reached at his home phone, 803-442-9060.

Over $100,000 in chess scholarships, chess prizes, netbook computers, etc.
The annual Susan Polgar Girl’s Invitational, the most prestigious all-girls event in the United States, will be held at Webster University (St. Louis, Missouri). The opening ceremony will be at 1:00 PM on July 22. The format this year is similar to 2011.
• There will be a two (2) day intense world class training sessions with Susan Polgar and her team, followed by a 6 round (g/90+30) championship tournament.
• The traditional Blitz, Puzzle Solving, Bughouse events will stay the same as in previous years.
• There will be many chess prizes awarded, including scholarship(s) to Webster University.
Each state is allowed one representative to be nominated by June 1, 2012. Official representative alternates may be substituted no later than June 15. (Susan Polgar and/or the Polgar Committee may allow the host state to enter an additional qualified player.) Susan Polgar and/or the Polgar Committee may allow exceptions to the June 1 entry/alternate deadline. Should the state affiliate fail to respond to the notice for this tournament, Susan Polgar and/or the Polgar Committee may determine the candidate from that state.
Players must have been enrolled in a school (up to 12th grade) located in the state they represent, also of the year in which the tournament is held. Home-schooled students who are under the age of 19 on July 27th of the year in which the event is held or students who have never attended college on a full time basis prior to June 1 of the year in which the tournament is held, are eligible to represent the state in which they reside.
Exception: If a player graduates from high school early and is already attending college, she may still represent her state if nominated. This is the decision of each state affiliate.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: The participants of the Susan Polgar Girl’s Invitational DO NOT have to be high school students. Any qualifier under the age of 19 (by July 27th of the year in which the tournament is held) is eligible!
Special invitation for this year only: All past participants of the SPNI and SPGI (Susan Polgar National Invitational/Susan Polgar Foundation Girls’ Invitational 2004-2011) are invited to participate in the 2012 SPGI. The idea is to have the past participants learn my method of training so they can go back home and share their knowledge with the younger players. However, registration MUST be made ASAP since space is limited. There will be mutual training sessions for all, however separate section & prizes for alumni participants over the age of 19.
Players are required to furnish the organizer an emergency phone number and the e-mail address of a parent/guardian.

Prizes: Trophies / plaques will be awarded to the winners of the Susan Polgar Foundation Girl’s Invitational Puzzle Solving, Blitz, and the SPGI Championship. Co-champions are recognized in the case of a tie, with each champion receiving a Champion’s Plaque or Trophy. The Champion (or Co-Champions) will automatically be invited to defend her/their title (must meet age requirement).

If you will be in New Orleans long enough to experience some of the wonderful culture that the city has to offer, may we suggest some of the following tours:
Louisiana Swamp Tour: Weave through the back bayous of the Honey Island Swamp on a small 20- passenger boat and visit an authentic Cajun Village accessible only by boat . . . and then pass through the alligator area where the gators come right alongside the boat for feeding time!
Steamboat Natchez Cruise: Cruise the Mississippi River on a paddlewheeler from the port of New Orleans to the Audubon Zoo and see the city skyline from the best view possible . . . the River View!
Oak Alley or Laura Plantation Tour: Go back to the glory of the old South as you walk through one of these plantation homes, rich in Creole Louisiana's storied past!
Other tours you may enjoy: French Quarter Walking Tour, Garden District Walking Tour, Cemetery Walking Tour (visit St. Louis Cemetery #1 and see the gravesites of Paul Morphy - World Chess Champion in the mid-1850s - and Marie Laveau (the infamous Voo-Doo Queen of New Orleans); visit Mardi Gras World (where Mardi Gras floats are built and Carnival comes alive!).
Other Interesting Places to Visit and Things to Do Around Town:
Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, Audubon Insectarium, national World War II Museum, Louisiana Children's Museum, Audubon Park & Zoo, take a ferry boat ride across the Mississippi River, and take a street car ride up St. Charles Avenue in the Garden District to see all of the mansions along the Avenue.
A MUST FOR EVERY TOURIST:
Take a walk down to Decatur St. by the River in the French Quarter and see Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral, the French Quarter, and be absolutely sure that you get a chance to have some Cafe au Lait (Cafe O-lay) and Beignets (ben-yeh's) - also known as Coffee & Doughnuts - at the famous Cafe du Monde across from Jackson Square! This will be an experience you will not soon forget! If you have time you can also take a Horse & Carriage ride through the streets of New Orleans with a driver who is an experienced tour guide.
But, whatever you do in New Orleans, make sure you HAVE FUN ! ! ! !

132 girls compete in chess in Queen's Quest
132 girls compete in chess in Washington State
From Jill Keto
We had a WONDERFUL weekend at our 10th annual Queen's Quest all-girls tournament at Medina Elementary, in Bellevue, WA.
Our top girl, Mara Kramer, earned a $300 chess scholarship for furthering her chess education or to go to Nationals. Next year we are going to do a $1000 scholarship to encourage girls to attend Nationals.
Seattle Times did a photo essay, and it was also featured in the Sunday Seattle Times print version. Here is the link: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/picturethis/2017834135_allgirlschesstournament.html
I can't tell you how good if felt on Saturday,the little girls so happy and so grateful. Queen's Quest boosts their passion for chess, and in many cases, convinces them to keep playing rather than giving up the sport.

Young Chess Queen makes school history
Clackamas High School students take state chess title
Youth queen school’s first champion in strategy board game
By Raymond Rendleman
The Clackamas Review, Mar 7, 2012
Clackamas High School students made history by winning their school’s first state chess championship since the Oregon High School Chess Team Association was created in the 1960s.
CHS junior Alexandra Botez, who has traveled the world playing chess, took the top title for individuals. In one nail-biter late in the series, Botez forced one of her biggest rivals to resign after she simply took one of his pawns, leaving him unable to retaliate.
Botez has already received a scholarship offer valued at $110,000 starting in the fall 2013. The CHS varsity chess team also includes seniors Kevin Phuong and Gavin Megson, and juniors Kevin Rhine and Hai Dao.
Botez said it was a really great experience that trilled everyone in the team.
“We lost our last round, and ended up winning by tiebreakers, so we didn't expect it,” Botez said. “It was a surprise when we found out we were still in first place...The team had a lot of school spirit and we were proud to come back as state champions.”
CHS Chess Club adviser Mike Figert helped start the club eight years ago, but he credits students who “wanted to put together a club just to do some playing.” Gradually, their interest grew more serious until the students were asking Figert for help getting involved in tournaments.
“It’s so exciting that this is our first one, especially given where we’ve come from,” Figert said.
Science teacher Dave Castles and Ed Addis soon offered their help as coaches. The CHS chess club won the league championship for the first time this year, and the team thought they might have the horses to go all the way to the top.
“It’s always a great surprise to win a state tournament, but we felt confident going in that we would do well, and that turned out to be the case,” Figert said.
Clackamas also took the 6A title in junior varsity, so the club is feeling optimistic about repeating the feat in future seasons. La Salle College Prep just east of Milwaukie was also one of the three varsity co-champions behind Clackamas.

RIP Dana Hannibal
I am so sad to hear this news. Dana was an amazing girl and she always had a smile on every time I saw her. She was well loved by all her friends in the chess community. RIP Dana! We love you!
Dana Hannibal, 1994-2012
By Dan Dalthorp
http://oscf.org/2012/03/dana-hannibal-1994-2012/
Young Oregon chess player and high school junior Dana Hannibal died February 29, 2012. Dana was a bright, friendly, and vivacious girl that had a way of lighting up a room with her presence and was dear to the hearts of many in the Oregon chess community. Between rounds at chess tournaments, she was energetic and talkative and witty. But when it came time to play her games, her focus was intense. It would always amaze me how a young person so vivacious and active could so quickly change gears to sit for hours with sharp concentration–and with such great results. For example, she was always near the top of the OSCF All-Stars list for her grade, was the Grand Champion for Middle School at the OSCF State Championships in Seaside in 2008, and for years she was rated among the top 100 girls in the USA for her age (U13, U16, U21) while she was still active.
She saw beauty in chess and had a talent for expressing it artfully. For example, when she was 12, she conducted an interview with the Salem Stateman Journal at the OSCF State Championships in 2007 and described chess in a touching way: “It’s like a tapestry. All the pieces are weaving together to make something beautiful.” A year or so later, she wrote a poem about chess:
Chess, by Dana Hannibal, 2009
King, queen, and rook,
Find me in a book,
Bishop, knight, pawn,
Play me on your lawn.
King, strong yet weak,
When queen is out you must be meek,
Queen, full of power, pride,
Quick across the board wide,
Rook, as always is your fate,
Move only in lines straight,
Bishop, on diagonal tread,
To make a king bleed dark red,
Knight, your noble steed jumps high,
So you in dark tomb will not lie,
Pawn, smallest of them all,
Reach the end and you’ll grow tall.
King, queen, rook,
More than just a board or book,
Chess, who’s beauty goes ever on.
In January 2010 she turned her sharp mind away from chess to other activities. She had a keen interest in science and maintained a 4.0 GPA at Sprague High School in Salem. She had her sights set on medical school to put her considerable talents to work in a noble cause. She was making great progress getting there. Last summer she served as an apprentice in the Harper Environmental & Molecular Toxicology lab at OSU, and last fall she scored well into the 99th percentile on the PSAT and would likely have been named a National Merit Scholarship semi-finalist when the list is announced later this year.
Her talents extended well beyond the intellectual. Not only was she a varsity softball player, she was darn good…named to the First Team All-League at the OSAA 6A softball playoffs in 2011 and was chosen to represent the Northwest Elite team to play in the International Softball Federation Youth World Cup in Florida in early 2011. She also played varsity Soccer…and was darn good in that too. She was named to the Second Team All-League at the OSAA 6A girls’ soccer playoffs in 2011.
Other sporting accomplishments in the past few years include:
2011 – Premier Girls Fastpitch National Championship, Irvine CA
2011 – Statesman-Journal Capital Auto Group Athlete of the Week
2010 – 6A Central Valley Conference All-Academic Team
2010 – Sprague HS Varsity Softball Rookie of the Year, Varsity Letter
2010 – Triple Crown Sports Colorado Fireworks All-American Team
2009 – 79th Oregon Junior Amateur Golf, 3RD FLIGHT champion
More important than her many accomplishments, Dana was a warm and friendly girl, quick with a smile, and had a cheerful and infectious good will that she willingly shared. The world lost a great mind in Dana and also a great heart. She will be greatly missed.

For kids, it’s all about chess
By Lia Russell
NICE Moves with Susan Polgar
Ask most young people what they enjoy doing that’s “free, fun and funky,” and you probably don’t expect to hear “chess.” But a local initiative describes the strategic board game in just that way, and it has children flocking to Lamberts Point Recreation Center every Wednesday to play nice – make that NICE, Norfolk Initiative for Chess Excellence.
Jeda Leavelle is among those kids. She’s 8 years old and has been playing chess for five years. “Once you know what you’re doing, it’s not that hard,” the Larchmont Elementary second-grader said.
Jeda plans to play in a tournament next weekend hosted by NICE. On Friday and Saturday, the Virginia Queens All-Girl Championship Tournament will be held at Norfolk State University, offering a first in Virginia: the chance for a female to take a state championship title from an all-girls chess tournament. After the tournament, the top player in each of two categories – rated (those who are members of U.S. Chess Federation) and unrated (those with no tournament experience) – will go on to vie in the national championships.
Scholarships and bragging rights are at stake, but the game offers much more. Jeda was one of about 25 children who recently gathered for the weekly after-school program that teaches and promotes chess. She is a regular participant and adheres to the program’s most important rule: Finish homework first. “Playing chess makes me feel proud of myself,” Jeda said.
Increased self-esteem is just one of the goals of NICE, founder and director Lisa Suhay said. “Chess helps kids improve their critical thinking skills,” she said. “Studies have confirmed that playing chess once a week for one year can almost double a student’s standardized test scores.” Chess also helps children with focus and life strategies, according to the U.S. Chess Federation. For girls, it has the added benefit of urging them toward science and math studies – subjects typically dominated by boys. While NICE is open to everyone in the community, including adults, one of its immediate goals is to open the sport of chess to girls.
The statistics tell the story: Of 1,100 International Grandmasters in the world, only two dozen are women, and the only one from the United States is Susan Polgar, a Hungarian-born naturalized citizen. Polgar, a four-time world chess champion and founder of the Susan Polgar Institute for Chess Excellence, will be in Norfolk for the tournament next weekend to support NICE and encourage female partici pation in the game. The top winners also will have the opportunity to play in the Susan Polgar Foundation Girls’ Chess Invitational in St. Louis in July. “Chess can give girls self-confidence and is a tool to show that they are equal in areas that society says is reserved for boys,” Polgar said. Polgar, who started playing at age 4, said people often tried to discourage her from chess in her youth.
“They viewed me like I was from Mars because I wanted to play a boys’ game,” she said. “Even today there is a stigma, but it was much worse then.” The ideal time for children to begin playing chess is between ages 4 and 6, Polgar said.
Arthur Bowman, a biology professor at Norfolk State University, agrees with Polgar and often stops by Lamberts Point Recreation Center to play. He brings along NSU students to serve as mentors to the children. “This program is wonderful for the children and for the community,” Bowman said. “It’s a grass-roots initiative, but it’s really something big.”
NICE is a community partnership among Norfolk Public Schools; the Chrysler Museum of Art; Hackworth Reprographics; Navy Chess; Norfolk State and Old Dominion universities; teachers; parents; The Virginian-Pilot; the Norfolk
Department of Recreation, Parks and Open Space; and the Carnegie Math and Science Initiative for Girls.

Checkmate! Susan Polgar Institute for Chess Excellence (SPICE) and Champion U.S. College Chess Team Moving to Webster University
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 3, 2012 – Building on St. Louis’ growing reputation as a world-class chess center, Webster University is making some exciting chess moves. The University today announced that chess Grandmaster Susan Polgar, World and Olympiad Champion, and her Susan Polgar Institute for Chess Excellence (SPICE), will relocate to Webster from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas, on June 1, 2012. In addition, all members of the reigning national collegiate champion Texas Tech “A” chess team will transfer to Webster and be enrolled at the University in the 2012-2013 academic year.
“Chess is increasingly valued for its instructional impact,” said Webster President Elizabeth (Beth) J. Stroble. “Globally, educators recognize chess as a tool to cultivate interest and success in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) disciplines. At Webster, SPICE and Susan Polgar will be leaders in promoting chess as a vehicle for global diversity and academic excellence, for enriching the education of children and for promoting women’s chess.”
“We are excited to be the new home of the Susan Polgar Institute for Chess Excellence,” said Dr. Julian Z. Schuster, Webster University provost and senior vice president. “The mission of SPICE is to be the nation’s premier center for chess education, research, technology and outreach. Our partnership with Susan Polgar and SPICE at Webster will allow us to support and promote competitive chess at the college level. Chess has always been a global game and this important step brings a global game in these global times to a truly global university. We are excited to further enhance the image of St. Louis as a global chess center. ”
“According to recent statistics, there are about 1 billion chess players in the world,” Polgar said. “SPICE, therefore, is a perfect fit for Webster University’s global vision and presence, and I am extremely impressed with Webster’s commitment to excellence in chess and education. I am also very excited to be in the St. Louis area, near the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of St. Louis, the hot spot for chess in the United States, thanks to Mr. Rex Sinquefield.”
The chess players who will either transfer to Webster from Texas Tech or enroll as incoming freshmen include eight Grandmasters and two International Masters, and the team is expected to rank No. 1 in the nation in Fall 2012. “No team in the long and prestigious history of college chess has had eight Grandmasters before,” Polgar said.
Polgar, who is one of the strongest female chess players in history, is the winner of four world championships and the only world champion in history – male or female – to win the Triple-Crown (Rapid, Blitz and Classical Chess world championships). She is the first woman to break the gender barrier to qualify for the Men’s World Championship Cycle, earn the Men’s Grandmaster title, and to receive the Grandmaster of the Year Award. In 2011, Polgar became the first female head coach to lead a men’s Division 1 team (Texas Tech University) to the national title.
With its home campus in St. Louis, Webster University (www.webster.edu) is the only Tier 1, private, non-profit U.S.-based university providing a network of international residential campuses. Founded in 1915, Webster University’s campus network today includes metropolitan, military and corporate locations around the world, as well as traditional residential campuses in Asia, Europe and North America. The university is committed to delivering high-quality learning experiences that transform students for global citizenship and individual excellence.

A BIG thank you to Texas Tech University
I would like to thank Texas Tech University for their incredible support for chess and SPICE in the past five years. I would also like to thank all the donors and supporters, without whom, SPICE could have never achieved this kind of success.
Chess will continue at Texas Tech and I will do everything possible to make sure that the transition with the new Director / Coach will be super smooth. My job is not finished yet as we still have a National Championship to defend in the end of March.
I am very proud to be a part of the Texas Tech family for the past 5 years. We have made a lot of history together. It has been an incredible experience and I will never forget all the wonderful memories.
As someone who has constantly looking to raise the bar and breaking through barriers in chess for nearly 40 years, I could not pass up the opportunity to work with Webster University on a global level, and to bring some of the world's best young talents to SPICE in St. Louis. My goal is to help the next generation of talented young players excel in chess while obtaining a fantastic college education.
There will be more SPICE programs in other universities in the near future. But my base operation will be in St. Louis for many years to come. Once again, thank you for everything. This is not the end of an amazing chapter. It is just the beginning of something even more magnificent.

The cooperative undertakes various activities, including:
Programmes to upgrade residences and other buildings on the three islands of Aran, making them more energy efficient and converting them to renewable fuels
the generation of renewable energy locally
the creation of employment on the islands in the area of renewable energy
the establishment of new businesses on the islands that will use cheap clean energy as part of their business plan
The islands have a combined population of 1380 inhabitants made up of all age groups. A large number of residents are dependent on social welfare. Seasonal employment is found in tourism related businesses and local activities also involve traditional fishing.
Structure and membership
Legally incorporated, it is a community owned cooperative of 50 members, registered with the Register of Friendly Societies. One resident, one share, one vote applies where the share value is €100. Anybody who lives permanently on the islands or any business that has a premises on the islands is eligible for membership. Local committees may also take out membership.
No dividends are distributed from cooperative itself at the moment. However, the cooperative intends to set up commercial companies which it will own or partially own. These companies will be open to investment from members or from the public and will pay dividends.
Formed in 2012 and incorporated within a year, the cooperative received business planning and development support and advice from Energy Cooperative Ireland while the only sources of capital were share purchases.
This social enterprise aims to make the three Aran Islands energy self-sufficient with clean, renewable, locally produced energy. Removal of dependence on oil, gas, coal and imported electricity. Timeframe: 2022.
Certain barriers were identified regarding access to finance and finance to cover running costs. Bridging finance was also a problem and there is also the issue of matching finance when grants are offered. As a solution, running costs had to be covered by being very careful when planning grant-aided projects. They have now sourced a number of bridging finance options. Matching finance is still a problem when they want to upgrade community owned buildings that have no finance of their own.
The cooperative has a strong committee of 12 members, but still does not have all the skills required to achieve goals. Energy experts, an accountant, solicitor, a website, etc are still needed. In their first year, they concentrated on building up a support network of professional people who were willing to work with them. This has included GMIT Galway, Tipperary Energy Agency, Galway County Council Energy Dept, Udaras na Gaeltachta, etc.
Finally, the legal requirements for running a cooperative are quite challenging. The committee have delegated tasks such as Treasurer, Secretary, to committee members and these people, along with the chairperson, are on a steep learning curve as they seek to comply with all the regulations and hold ourselves to a Code of Governance.
The Cottage, Loughmore
Website: The Cottage Loughmore on Facebook
Being locally rooted, a single cooperative can revitalize a small rural community with a local village of 100 people. Such was the case with ‘The Cottage’ consumer coop formed in 2012. A local tearoom and a shop, the cooperative proves basic retail services such as access to electronic services and community support, without which the villagers would have to rely on services in the nearest town 5km away.
The cooperative model was identified through the Plunkett Foundation, a UK based group providing support to community cooperatives in rural areas. The cooperative model provided access to capital through affordable share sales (300 x €10) and provided publicity because of its distinctive nature.
A Christmas market was held to establish the retail potential of the area and to showcase local food production. Goodwill from this event led to the holding of a public meeting to invite new members and identify volunteers. Currently there is no criteria for membership of the cooperative and no distribution of dividends.
The time between project conception and incorporation was 1 year and 8 months. Business planning and development advice was provided by the Plunkett Foundation, ICOS and North Tipperary Leader Partnership (NTLP). Training support was supplied from North Tipperary County Enterprise Board. The cooperative received 75% of financial support from NTLP, whilst the rest was contributed by philanthropic donations.
The NTLP had never funded a cooperative, had no knowledge of setting up a rural social enterprise as a cooperative and had no idea how they work, proving producing a business template difficult. The Plunkett Foundation provided a template for a cooperative enterprise and provided specific advice on setting up a rural social enterprise as a cooperative. As The Cottage was first of such enterprises in Ireland, there were no Rules available.
We are a group of agencies from all over Europe providing support to new cooperative start-ups.

BREAKING: PJ Media Finds Gunwalker’s ‘Unreachable’ Man in the White House.
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform led by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) is investigating to what extent the White House was aware of — or involved in — the “Fast and Furious” gunwalking scandal.
The committee recently requested to speak with former White House National Security Staffer Kevin O’Reilly. According to CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson, the Obama administration answered:
O’Reilly is on assignment for the State Department in Iraq and unavailable.
Through a tip, PJ Media learned that Kevin O’Reilly was unexpectedly named director of the International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Bureau for Iraq (INL-Iraq). Long-time INL-Iraq employee Virginia Ramadan had been expected to get the position — many were quite surprised when she did not.
The previous occupants of the Director, INL-Iraq position — Joe Manso and Francisco Palmieri — were not considered “unreachable” to press or government access. A quick internet search reveals Palmieri, while director, attended a media event on August 23, 2010.
On October 21, PJ Media reporter Patrick Richardson called the number for Office of the Director, INL-Iraq:
1-240-553-0581, ext. 3275
Richardson reached a voicemail message confirming that it was indeed the correct number. He left a message that was not returned.
On Monday Richardson called again, and an assistant answered. Richardson asked to speak with Kevin O’Reilly, and the assistant asked who was calling. Richardson gave his name and stated he was with PJ Media.
The assistant said O’Reilly was currently on a conference call, and asked if Richardson wanted to leave a message. Richardson gave his phone number. His call was not returned.
This morning, Richardson called again. He received a prerecorded message saying “this number is not in service.”
PJ Media is aware that the number was in service as the line to the director’s office for several years prior to Richardson’s calls.
Today, PJ Media is forwarding this information over to Darrell Issa, along with some suggested questions to ask of the Obama administration:
– Why were we told Kevin O’Reilly was “unavailable” if he was employed in a position that has always been open to media, and indeed was easily reached by PJ Media?
– Why did Kevin O’Reilly suddenly get sent to Iraq for the Director, INL-Iraq position when another employee was widely considered the most-qualified person for the job?
– Now that we know he is in the Director, INL-Iraq position and not in a position ever considered “unreachable,” when will you be sending him to Washington to testify?
The committee’s interest in Kevin O’Reilly stems from documents the White House released last month on September 30 – a late afternoon “Friday document dump.” From Sharyl Attkisson’s reporting on the documents:
The documents show extensive communications between then-ATF Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix office Bill Newell — who led Fast and Furious — and then-White House National Security Staffer Kevin O’Reilly. Emails indicate the two also spoke on the phone. Such detailed, direct communications between a local ATF manager in Phoenix and a White House national security staffer has raised interest among Congressional investigators looking into Fast and Furious. Newell has said he and O’Reilly are long time friends.
The email exchanges span a little over a month last summer. They discuss ATF’s gun trafficking efforts along the border including the controversial Fast and Furious case, though not by name. The emails to and from O’Reilly indicate more than just a passing interest in the Phoenix office’s gun trafficking cases. They do not mention specific tactics such as “letting guns walk.”
A lawyer for the White House wrote Congressional investigators: “none of the communications between ATF and the White House revealed the investigative law enforcement tactics at issue in your inquiry, let alone any decision to allow guns to ‘walk.’”
Among the documents produced: an email in which ATF’s Newell sent the White House’s O’Reilly an “arrow chart reflecting the ultimate destination of firearms we intercepted and/or where the guns ended up.” The chart shows arrows leading from Arizona to destinations all over Mexico.
In response, O’Reilly wrote on Sept. 3, 2010 “The arrow chart is really interesting — and — no surprise — implies at least that different (Drug Trafficking Organizations) in Mexico have very different and geographically distinct networks in the US for acquiring guns. Did last year’s TX effort develop a similar graphic?”
The White House counsel who produced the documents stated that some records were not included because of “significant confidentiality interests.”
Also included are email photographs including images of a .50 caliber rifle (left) that Newell tells O’Reilly “was purchased in Tucson, Arizona (part of another OCDTF case).” OCDTF is a joint task force that operates under the Department of Justice and includes the US Attorneys, ATF, DEA, FBI, ICE and IRS. Fast and Furious was an OCDTF case.
An administration source would not describe the Tucson OCDTF case. However, CBS News has learned that ATF’s Phoenix office led an operation out of Tucson called “Wide Receiver.” Sources claim ATF allowed guns to “walk” in that operation, much like Fast and Furious.
Congressional investigators for Republicans Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) have asked to interview O’Reilly by September 30. But the Administration informed them that O’Reilly is on assignment for the State Department in Iraq and unavailable.

Alumni Talk Series 2019/20
Alumni Talk - Michel Gölz
Michel Gölz
In his employment for the City of Vienna, he is concerned with moments and places where urban planning and everyday life overlap. Next to his employment, he conducts projects that are artistic and activist, yet also concerned with spatial and social design. In this, he has been largely working with the Kollektiv Raumstation Wien in the past two years.
Working for the Gebietsbetreuung Stadterneuerung (GB) means dealing with topics and content that are addressed in the Social Design Master, although a characterizing feature is its institutionalized structure. The GB is at the intersection of urban planning and residents, between the ominous “city” and people who habituate it. Next to tenancy law counseling, it conducts participation in urban renewal projects and supports resident's initiatives, among other things.
“My office in particular aims to facilitate the “growing together” of an area that includes the site of a former train station, “Nordbahnhof”, that is currently being developed as a residential area. By means of various forms of visualization and conversation, we attempt to convey an image of neighborhood in the future. The task here is to convey the idea behind the plan, but also feedback resident's concerns to the planers.” (Michel Gölz)

Evie Calabasas – “STARGIRL” – strong, sensitive vocals and soul-baring songs
By: Jeena Johnson
Evie Calabasas is a 20 year-old singer and songwriter. She started playing guitar at the age of 6 and started singing at 15 years old. After attempting to be part of band on numerous occasions, Evie finally opted for a solo career. Her first solo project, the 3 track EP “STARGIRL”, has its title inspired by the first song she ever played live. It is a tempered and exceptional record. It shakes, rattles and rolls with minimal, almost absent percussion, a dominantly strummed acoustic guitar and occasional keyboard interludes. Above all, is Evie Calabasas’ voice, which delivers an untethered, sweetly melancholic, raw, and liberating listen, as she sings about dealing with feelings, growing older, friendship and love.
Evie Calabasas dives head-first into the exploration of her own supremely unique, sophisticated capabilities in sound on “STARGIRL”. Choosing restraint above bombast, and nuance above magnificence. The result is a sound and style that gently weaves its way through the ears, hearts, and minds of listeners, clinging to her eloquence and gorgeously essential arrangements. All of which exult her vocal presence, lyrics and storytelling.
Right from the opening track, “Red Dress”, her acoustic- driven grace demands your full attention. You’ll quickly notice her knack for endearing melodies and ear-catching hooks, as she fabricates an earthy rhythm, paired with meticulously vocal runs. A composition built on the rudiments of organic instrumentation, which somehow explodes into unexpected beauty.
With its in-depth mood, and easy-going time signature, “Can We Talk?” will entrance you with each passing bar, as you hang on every heartfelt word. Evie Calabasas’ songwriting prowess is front and center throughout this song, and with her compositional sketch firmly drawn, Evie further embellishes her narrative and accents the details, with her performance skills.
The refinements are always subtle – she never raises her voice to a scream or overwhelms with her music. The result elevates Evie’s singing performances, solidifying them, and never overshadowing them.
Considering her young age, there’s a maturity and honesty at work in the arrangements on the EP that reward the listener. Evie owns and examines her emotional dilemmas with pure candor. She’s doing things on her own accord and embracing them. Evie presents her emotions and life’s complexities in a way that offers access and empathy. This is so mesmerizingly evident on “I Miss You (But I Don’t)”.
Evie Calabasas’ voice is one of the most unique and versatile out there, ranging from a delicate whisper to a high flying croon when appropriate. It begs the attention of the listener throughout the EP. Evie’s music thrives on the intimacy she fosters with the listener.
Every choice she makes is designed to draw the audience into her world, to make them understand things her way for the length of time they’re listening to her music. And that not only enhances the power of all the songs on “STARGIRL”, but it also creates a whole, greater than the sum of its already considerable parts.
Evie Calabasas’ passionate sound, is blended with her strong, sensitive vocals and one soul-baring song after another. She is one of those rare young voices who is instantly recognizable and endlessly listenable.

She also inquired about the status of the audio/visual system in the new Municipal Facilities building and Mr. Blaschik advised that the Building Committee is still meeting twice a month and is working through the punch-list for the building. Mr. Gelston stated he feels Public Works needs to develop a well-thought out site/traffic plan for the Transfer Station in order to effectively implement several of the Transfer Station Committee s recommendations, especially the scale and sticker management programs. He also stated that he feels the Town should get professional guidance, such as a traffic engineer, when removing/relocating any of the horizontal road signs installed by the state. Mr. Dill stated the Town needs to formalize the Transfer Station s authority to oversee the proposed sticker and other proposed programs at the site. Mr. Auld suggested implementing a light weight system for some vehicles that will frequent the upper level of the Transfer Station.
5 Ms. Dill noted that the tax refund approved earlier in the meeting did not result from an error in the Tax Department and also asked if the Town Clerk would be compensated for the additional responsibilities of issuing Transfer Station stickers.

Common Core is a Distraction
By Rachel Burger on March 27, 2014 in Domestic Policy
Common Core has taken libertarian activists by storm. FreedomWorks has organized a slew of protests against the standards. Think tanks like Heritage and Cato have bombarded its readership with material about why Common Core should be opposed. After spending some time with fellow libertarians talking about education reform, two unsettling facts have come to light: One, nobody seems to really know what Common Core is, and two, it’s a distraction from issues that really matter, namely school choice.
Common Core, which is short for the “Common Core State Standards Initiative,” aims to create English and math standards for K–12 in every state. It emphasizes critical thinking, reading comprehension, and math concepts. The program is unique because it allows states—and even countries—to compare test scores, unifying what can be expected at every grade level. Common Core was developed by non-government institutions but is now largely funded by the Gates Foundation and federal government.
What should make Common Core more appealing to free marketers than other standardized tests is that the teacher gets to design their own curricula. There are no assigned reading lists or institutionalized ways to learn math. For example, upon completing the 5th grade, students should be able to “link ideas within and across categories of information using words, phrases, and clauses (e.g., in contrast, especially).” Teachers can impart the lesson any way they choose—from giving examples from a selected textbook to word games. At the end of the year, students have to demonstrate that they’ve learned this skill in a benchmark test.
Common Core is cost-effective for many states. While it’s not federally required, the program has been linked to other education programs, like Race to the Top, where struggling schools can prove themselves to receive additional government funding. The program also provides test development, scoring, and reporting, which states had previously paid for and developed themselves.
Common Core does not force kids to learn about evolution or climate change. It has nothing to do with sex education. Or God. Or ruining childhood. It’s been my experience that parents and concerned activists largely do not have the slightest idea what Common Core is, and because they’re undereducated, they’ve turned to hyperbolic claims and false accusations. I don’t want to see that in my movement.
Now let’s be clear: I do not support Common Core. But I don’t think it’s the coming of the anti-Christ either. In a country where we run under a public education system, it makes sense to be able to compare and rate schools for efficacy. Nobody wants to waste taxpayer dollars on a school that is failing its children.
That said, it’s clear to me that Common Core is a distraction from the real problem: the lack of school choice. Kids are born pre-assigned to a school, and the only ways a parent can change that child’s school designation are to uproot and move, pay for private school, or home school.
Common Core detracts from where concerned parents should really be putting their energy. Common Core is a logical step for educators in a nationalized school system. If parents really don’t want standardized education, they really shouldn’t be sending their kids to a public school. But I empathize for those who cannot afford alternatives, which is why I support school vouchers. School choice campaigns should be the reaction to Common Core. Instead of changing the system, introduce the ability to opt out.

With no Evidence, Trump says that millions of people voted illegally
On Sunday, president-elect Donald Trump made the rather groundless claim that he had lost the popular vote because of the millions of people who voted illegally.
“In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.”, Trump wrote on Twitter.
This might be a follow up of a series of posts from Jill Stein, the candidate for the Green Party. It seems like now, Donald Trump has chosen to take the same patch as Stein did during the campaign. Interestingly enough, on Saturday, Hillary Clinton’s team said that they will be making recount efforts in Wisconsin along with Michigan and Pennsylvania. It is not like the popular vote really counts for anything apart from popularity maybe. Still, it seems like Donald Trump does not stand the smell of failure.
No proof to his claim
Still, could Donald Trump’s claim actually have a real basis? Not one that we know of. The conservative voter fraud specialist Gregg Phillips is another person who made such claims during the campaign. And Phillips is a controversial and rather dubious figure. Some articles are claiming that he is a partner of VoterFraud.org. However, in reality, he said that he founded VoteStand.com, an app which supposedly detects voter fraud. How is this possible? Nobody but him has any idea. He also seems to be suffering from an obsession with voting fraud, as he claimed similar things about Obamacare. And, like Donald Trump, he does not have any evidence whatsoever about his claims.
Long story short, there is absolutely nothing out there which can indeed can be used as a proof that millions of people voted illegally in this election.
Trump tries to establish his cabinet
This voter fraud scandal comes right as Donald Trump is trying to establish his presidential cabinet. More importantly, he still has not chosen a Secretary of State. Kellyanne Conway, a top adviser, appeared on public television on Sunday morning. She accused Mitt Romney of trying to hurt Trump ‘s chances during his presidential campaign. Romney is a serious contender for the post of Secretary of State. When asked if she told the president-elect his opinion of Romney, Conway, who might become press secretary, said that she did and that she will respect his decision. Shortly after, she declared that what she does is not a campaign against someone, but a call from a citizen who is very worried. According to her, it is not sure if Mitt Romney even voted for Donald Trump.
On Saturday, the Republicans said that this idea to recount votes is totally ridiculous. They said that
“This is a scam by the Green Party for an election that has already been conceded and the results of this election should be respected instead of being challenged and abused.”
The problem here is that if someone were to take their fraud claim seriously, they would need a recount in order to establish the truth. So the Republicans are actually contradicting themselves with this statement.
All in all, it seems like the shadow of doubt still hangs over the presidential election. We can all wonder now when will it stop, or even worse, if it will ever.

In Apple v Samsung Patents That Should Never Have Been Granted May Result in a Billion Dollars in ‘Damages’
Posted in Apple, Courtroom, Patents, Samsung at 8:05 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
Merely damages the credibility of the USPTO if anything…
Reference: 11 Cool, Funny or Just Plain Strange Patents for Back to School
Summary: A roundup of news about Apple and its patent cases (especially Apple v Samsung), including Intel’s role trying to intervene in Qualcomm v Apple
HERE in this Web site we prefer to focus on topics/angles which ought to be covered by mainstream media but never/rarely are. The Apple v Samsung trial is generally being covered quite a lot by big publishers, e.g. “Apple v Samsung Poses Threat Beyond Just Tech” and other new headlines/reports [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. It is already being mentioned quite heavily in social control media, probably because Apple is involved. Not many patent cases manage to attract quite as much public interest. We remarked on it a few times earlier this month. As Wall Street media put it last week, “Apple Wants $1 Billion From Samsung at Smartphone Retrial” (retrial after nearly a decade of fighting).
Apple has taken patent maximalism/lunacy to new heights in California. It’s seeking billions in ‘damages’ over a simple shape of something. To quote one report:
Apple Inc. is seeking about $1 billion from Samsung Electronics Co. in another go-round stemming from a long-running smartphone patent-infringement dispute.
Jurors at the retrial before before U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, California, learned at the outset that the South Korean company infringed three of Apple’s design patents and two utility patents. Their sole job, Apple lawyer Bill Lee said, is to determine what damages Apple can collect.
Damages? What damages? As Josh Landau (CCIA) put it 5 days ago:
The design patent total profits rule of § 289 was created in an era when awards of profits were common and where complex multi-component products like we have today were uncommon. (Obviously, the concept of a computing device with an ecosystem of third-party app developers wasn’t even within the realm of imagination when § 289 was written.)
In fact, § 289 was created as a reaction to a decision about carpet decorations. A customer might seek out and buy a carpet just because of the design. But for most products today, that simply isn’t the case.
In order to avoid the kind of perverse results I’ve described, the article of manufacture for an icon or GUI should be interpreted as the software, not the device it runs on. And even if that change were made, Congress should still consider revisiting the total profits rule. A single infringing icon that’s a small part of a complex operating system shouldn’t entitle a patent owner to the total profits on the whole operating system—no matter how iconic it might be.
Patents on designs are a clear misfit; copyright and trademark laws cover designs. There’s this new blog post at IP Kat about industrial designs in Mexico with subheadings like “New concepts for industrial design examination” and “New regime for the validity of designs” (they aren’t talking about patents!).
Going back to Landau, the following day he published “Smartphones, Diapers, and Design Patents” — a post in which he mentioned Microsoft v Corel analysis by Sarah Burstein. She is a proponent of such patents. She wrote about it years ago.
Landau alludes to diapers and says:
Apple v. Samsung is obviously about high tech smartphones. Other recent design patent cases have focused on high tech products as well—both the Nikola v. Tesla case Patent Progress covered recently and the Microsoft v. Corel case that Prof. Sarah Burstein described over on Patently-O deal with high tech products.
Similarly, in a design patent case involving diapers, you have a printed outside layer—and then all the technology on the inside. Is the article of manufacture the entire diaper, or the printed outside layer? And how do you distinguish that from the Apple v. Samsung case?
The truth of the matter is — as we have been arguing for a number of years — patents on designs are too bizarre a concept. Watchtroll now promotes the nuisance patent litigation against Tesla (over mere shape/curves of a truck). Patent maximalists typically like any patents, irrespective of how broad they are. That just means more litigation, hence more business for them.
“The truth of the matter is — as we have been arguing for a number of years — patents on designs are too bizarre a concept.”There is another patent battle going on which involves Apple. But it’s not about design patents and it has nothing whatsoever to do with Samsung. As Florian Müller put it the other day: “While waiting for a tire change, I get to watch another #Qualcomm v. #Apple #patent infringement hearing at the Munich I Regional Court. Some chipset in some Apple products allegedly infringes on a manufacturing patent. Intel joined Apple in challenging the patent. More to follow […] Breaking News: Qualcomm employee just told the Munich I Regional Court today (at a #patent infringement hearing relating to the A10 chip) that Apple recently canceled a settlement meeting on short notice. Next meeting not scheduled yet.”
Müller then wrote a blog post about it:
While Apple is seeking north of $1 billion in damages from Samsung in the ongoing jury re-retrial in the Northern District of California, its earth-spanning dispute with Qualcomm continued today in the Munich I Regional Court with a first hearing (the primary objective of which is roughly comparable to that of a Markman hearing in a U.S. patent infringement case). Qualcomm alleges that the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus infringe its EP1199750 on a “post[-]passivation interconnection scheme on top of [an] IC chip.”
I’ll start with the most interesting piece of information I gleaned there. A Qualcomm employee–presumably an in-house lawyer, but I don’t know his name and title–responded to Presiding Judge Dr. Zigann’s question about the state of settlement discussions. According to Qualcomm, the parties had scheduled a meeting that would have taken place recently, but Apple canceled on short notice, and no new meeting has been agreed upon yet.
Qualcomm has long exploited SEP to tax pretty much every large company that sells chips (or products with chips inside them) — a subject which does not seem to bother Delrahim, unlike a long list or big bunch of “former government officials and professors” as Müller put it (Dennis Crouch covered this around the same time).
“Patent maximalists typically like any patents, irrespective of how broad they are. That just means more litigation, hence more business for them.”It’s worth noting that Intel sides with Apple here; Intel also lobbies for software patents and days ago Michael Proksch from Intel Standards Group was quoted as saying that they they invest $100 million annually in a 50,000-strong patent portfolio.
Intel has in fact filed/fired another patent missile:
Intel has filed for a declaratory judgment of non-infringement against small semiconductor licensing business Tela Innovations, in another dispute that shows how assertion activity is continuing to pick up in the chip sector. This spat has a particularly interesting edge to it given that Intel was an early investor in Tela and the two companies have a covenant not to sue (CNTS) dating back to May 2007. That covenant is still in effect and according to Intel’s filing “covers Tela patents claiming priority during the term of the CNTS”
A CNTS has all sorts of other names associated with it. Tela is actually new to us. It seems to be rather obscure, more or less like many patent trolls, but its Web site does not come across as that. There’s more to them than their patents.
“Imagine lots of patent lawsuits over shapes of cars or components around/inside the car.”Where does this all end up? Where do such large companies (Intel, Qualcomm, Apple and Samsung) position themselves in the market? Who will pay for the legal battles if not customers that nowadays pay about $1,000 for a phone? The shape of things — pardon the pun — ain’t so great.
According to yesterday’s latest update from Müller, Homer Simpson may sway the big trial, which is a jury trial:
It would have been preferable to give the Apple v. Samsung design patent damages re-retrial jury in San Jose (Northern District of California) a chance to render a verdict before the weekend. In that case, jurors might have put an end to this disruption of their lives. But the way things worked out, they’re now going to think about what position to take on Monday morning when official deliberations begin. In the meantime, they’re not allowed to talk to anyone about the case or to take a look at any media reports (whether some jurors do so anyway is another question, but they’re not supposed to).
As in the previous trials in this case, and as I mentioned a few days ago, Apple’s lawyers portrayed Samsung as an intentional infringer, an unrepentant copyist, with Samsung being barred from presenting some evidence that could have shed a different kind of light on that question.
The holdings that (i) Samsung infringed those three design patents (a long time ago) and (ii) that those patents are valid are “law of the case” and the re-retrial jury must presume both to be the case. It is worth noting, however, that courts in other jurisdictions looked at international equivalents of those intellectual property rights (and at devices from the same generation of Android-based Samsung products) and reached rather different conclusions. But things are the way they are for the purposes of this U.S. case, so the focus is just on damages, and the single most important question in this regard is what “article of manufacture” a disgorgement of Samsung’s profits should be based on: the entire device (which was considered a foregone conclusion in previous trials, but the Supreme Court and, previously, the United States Department of Justice disagreed with Judge Koh, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and Judge Lucy H. Koh) or one or more components?
The world outside that San Jose courtroom overwhelmingly prefers a component-based damages determination. This InsideSources article on the problems that an excessive damages amount in the Apple v. Samsung case could cause tech and non-tech companies alike is a good example. But jurors won’t have the benefit of such information on the wider ramifications of what they’re required to decide.
“What has patent maximalism wrought?”We have always argued that jury trials, especially for technical matters, are inadequate. It is rather odd that such trials are even being considered in this domain. If Apple gets its way, a lot of industries will be impacted. Imagine lots of patent lawsuits over shapes of cars or components around/inside the car.

French parliament votes to recognize Palestinian state
France’s Socialist-led parliament has passed a symbolic vote to recognize Palestinian statehood, despite staunch objections from Israel. MPs in Britain and Spain have already passed similar motions.
The proposal was passed with 339 votes in favor and 151 against, meaning that it was supported by more than two-thirds of French lawmakers.
Israel immediately responded, saying that the motion would “harm the peace process,” AFP reported.
The vote is non-binding, but sends a signal that Israelis and Palestinians must return to the negotiating table, following the collapse of US-mediated statehood talks in April.
“We don’t want a symbolic recognition that will only lead to a virtual state. We want a Palestinian state that is real so we want to give a chance to negotiations,” Europe Minister Harlem Desir told lawmakers after the votes were tallied.
Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius has supported the vote, setting a two-year deadline for the creation of an independent Palestine. He said that if no resolution had been found by then, France would officially recognize Palestine anyway.

Celebrity / By admin / January 12, 2021 January 12, 2021
Women all over the world are divided in how they feel about the romance between Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey. The actor and socialite have been brought together in recent months, causing profiteering as to whether or not they are going backwards.

The two posted pictures cozied up on Jan. 10, apparently strengthens the relationship. Women don’t know if they should be crying that Jordan is off the market – or clapping for Harvey in celebration of landing one of Hollywood’s most iconic bags.
Relationship history of Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey
Jordan tends to keep his love life out of sight, even though he has been photographed by women before. The photo was taken by 2019 model Cindy Bruna several times. Prior to Bruna, he was linked with co-stars Catherine Paiz and Kiki Lane.
Related: The reason for Lori Harvey’s future and bankruptcy is unexpected
Harvey has had some public relations though. She was engaged to be married to a Dutch and Ghanaian footballer named Memphis Depay but they separated by 2018. She has also been linked to Diddy and his son, Justin Combs. Others include singer Trey Songz. Her last public fling was with rapper Future, who threw a good birthday bash Harvey in Jamaica.
Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey seem to be confirming their return
Harvey and Jordan first sparked rumors when cameras captured them during a Thanksgiving holiday traveling together and boarding a plane in Atlanta coming from LA. Ahead of the New Year, they were spotted again, this time flying on a plane in Utah.
Madame Noire reports that the two were spotted together in Nobu in early 2020. At the time, Harvey was dating Future rapper. Jordan and Harvey were accompanied by several other friends during Nobu’s trip.
Jordan shared two unheaded images of the two Instagram page. Harvey did the same, writing a picture with brown heart emoji. Many of the couple’s famous friends donated toes, including Ryan Destiny, Gabriel Union, Winnie Harlow, and Yara Shahidi.
Fans will discuss the relationship between Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey
Fans’ notions of Jordan and Harvey’s young romance are divided. Some praise Harvey for harassing another bachelor and someone so fond of Jordan.
One Twitter user shed light on Harvey’s long history of accusation, considering the 23-year-old has been linked to rappers, actors, musicians, and athletes a few years ago.

In another Tweet, one user of similar emotions, like Harvey told an MVP of type writing, “Lori Harvey is the Thanos of dating. Michael B Jordan ?! Sis has all the Infinity stones. “
Other fans, namely women, are horrified that Jordan seems to have been happily taken. One Twitter user notes Jordan’s private stance when talking about his love life.

Others say Jordan should proceed with caution, noting that Harvey’s relationships appear to be short-lived.
“Oh, he doesn’t know much about his 30-day trial,” one wrote under his comments section Shade Room Post.
Some fans are hoping the pair are promoting a film. Harvey hasn’t done much action, but she’s modeled and shown interest in other entertainment avenues. It is not yet confirmed whether Jordan and Harvey are currently filming a film or television project.

Anniversary Of “Black Tot Day”
Posted on August 11, 2016 November 2, 2017 by Historical
The ‘Up Spirits’ Ritual
(Anniversary of “Black Tot Day”)
By the early-1700’s, sea voyages were going further and lasting longer—but alas, the drinking water was not. The insufferable question every Admiral of the Royal Navy was asking was, “how could their ships stay longer at sea and still maintain the significant quantities of fresh drinking water necessary to the life of each and every sailor? The only bearable answer was: grog. But, what is grog. Do you think you know what it is?
A Wee Beer…
beerPrior to 1740, grog was the Royal Navy’s term for “a wee beer.” What was their definition of the term, ‘wee’? Navy sailors were allotted one gallon of beer per man, per day. This translated to dozens of casks of beer in the stowage. But they were not alone in storage. Ships required many more barrels of fresh drinking water, also a gallon per man, per day. The beer might have been viewed as hogging precious space, but the water, stagnant and sitting in wooden casks, developed algae and bio-slime, and no one wanted to drink it—it did not taste good. This lead to the men drinking beer, exclusively, which in turn lead to accidents, illnesses and disciplinary problems. Then, somebody had the idea of just sweetening the slimy water with beer or barley wine to make it more palatable, and ridding of the beer-rations practice, entirely. The results of pitching that idea were disastrous!
Distilling seawater while at sea was not practical. Therefore, more casks of water were taken aboard for the ever-lengthening voyages. Of course, the problem with stowage space grew ever more difficult, and those in charge began eyeing those daily beer rations again (a gallon per man per day, remember). There was nothing for it, the beer rations were adding up and required serious trimming. First, they were cut in half. It was nothing short of melee. So, somebody put on their thinking-cap and determined that since England’s conquest of Jamaica nearly a century before made rum so readily available, they should replace the beer with rum; the sailors would require much less of it because it was 57% alcohol. Shortly, a half-pint (or 2 gills) of rum replaced beer and the ships’ crew were exceedingly happy. So that’s great. But, how does trading beer for rum keep the drinking water from spoiling? Uh-oh, it doesn’t. Not only that, but the rum given to sailors straight caused additional problems. Some sailors began saving their rum rations for several days to drink all at once, and enjoy some drunken downtime. This did not go over well with the British Royal Navy.
“Old Grog”…
Vice Admiral Edward Vernon of the British Royal Navy ordered that his sailors’ rations of rum be diluted with water. Water diluted the rum’s effects, accelerated its spoilage (preventing sailors from hoarding their allowance), and ended the drunken disciplinary problems. The move did not win the Vice Admiral the hearts and minds of his crew. On the contrary, they honed in on Vernon’s simple coat sewn of grogram cloth and, far from endearing, nicknamed him, “Old Grogram,” or “Old Grog,” for short.
Vernon had also ordered lime juice added to the tempered rum (August 31, 1740) to make it more agreeable. The citrus juice was added mainly to help with the taste and to prevent spoilage, but it was also found to prevent scurvy—a happy accident! All of this provided the Navy with some very good reasons to continue the practice, and continue, they did. A half pint of rum mixed with one quart of water was issued to every man, in two servings: before noon and at the end of the workday. This 4:1 ratio of water-to-rum became part of the official regulations of the Royal Navy in 1756, and continued on for more than two centuries.
Pomp-and-Circumstance…
Over a 230-year history, grog became the term for a small beer, or for horrible-tasting concoctions around the globe, including: a weak beer, beer-sweetened-stagnant water, watered down rum, watered down rye, a sickening mixture of spirits doused with lime or lemon, a hot totty for colds, and even powdered kava root. The term’s meaning seemed to change depending upon where you were in the world, and when. Irrespective of those changes, the Royal Navy ceremony for distributing the daily grog remained steadfast. In fact, the “Up Spirits” ritual was quite the pomp-and-circumstance. It went something like this:
At 11am, the boatswain’s mate piped, “Up spirits”, which was the signal for the assigned Petty Officer of the Day to address the quarterdeck and retrieve the keys to the spirit storage room, usually from a ship’s officer. In procession, the men witnessed the unlocking of the door of the spirit room, and the pumping into a keg of one-eighth pint of rum for every sailor and petty officer on the ship aged 20 or older (and not under a current punishment). Note: “Six water grog” was your beer or rum diluted with water at a 6:1 ratio. Six-water-grog was often times issued as a punishment to sailors who were guilty of rowdiness, laziness and/or drunkenness.
Two royal marines would lift the keg to the deck and stand guard while a file of cooks from the petty officers’ messes held out their jugs. Then the sergeant of marines poured the ration, under direction of the chief steward. Next, the remaining rum was mixed in a tub with two parts water and squeezed limes. This became the grog provided to the sailors; and,
At 12-noon, the boatswain’s mate piped, “Muster for Rum”. The mess cooks lined up with tin buckets. The sergeant of marines ladled the first of the day’s servings, or “tots,” for every sailor in the cooks’ respective messes. This was supervised by the petty officer of the day, who also saw to it the few vestiges of grog tots left remaining in the keg (aka, “plushers”), were poured down the scupper drains and out to sea. Speaking of down-the-drain…
So Long, Bob Smith, We Hardly Knew Ye
The practice of serving grog twice a day carried over into the Continental Navy and the U. S. Navy. Robert Smith, then Secretary of the Navy, experimented with substituting native rye whiskey for the imported rum concoction. Finding that the American sailors preferred it, he made the change permanent. It is said his sailors followed the practice of their British antecedents and took to calling their rations, “Bob Smith” instead of grog. But, it was not enduring, because it was not for long. The temperance movements (late 19th century) wore down long-held mindsets toward liberal drinking on land and sea. The days of grog dripped slowly to a close. In 1850, the size of the tot was halved to a quarter of a pint per day. Then, in August of 1862, the American Navy ended their rum rations altogether. In the Royal Navy, the issue of grog to officers ended in 1881, and to warrant officers in 1918.
On January 28, 1970, the “Great Rum Debate” took place in the British House of Commons, and six months later the last pipe of, “Up Spirits,” in the Royal Navy was heard. Today, this is referred to as, “Black Tot Day“.
*All sailors received an allowance of an extra can of beer each day, as compensation.
Do You Want Scurvy or Hair on Your Chest?
I knew cocktails could keep me healthy! Well, Grog can. Back in the day, no one knew that Vitamin C prevented scurvy, or why Vice Admiral Vernon had the healthiest sailors in the navy. These drinks will keep the scurvy at bay…and might even put some hair on your chest!
Traditional Navy grog recipe:
1 shot rum of your choice, dark or white
Squeeze of lime
Boiling water to fill a mug (sans the bio-slime).
Caribbean Grog recipe:
1 shot of light rum
1 tsp. honey
Squeezes of grapefruit juice, orange juice & pineapple juice
Boiling water to fill a mug.
Rum with water, sugar, and nutmeg was known as, “Bumbo” and was more popular with pirates. In Australia and New Zealand, the word, grog, is slang for any alcoholic drink. In some parts of Europe, grog is a “hot totty,” that usually includes black tea, lemon juice, honey and a splash of rum (this is also a popular winter cold cure, although I substitute Peppermint Schnapps for the rum). In Fiji, grog is a drink made of powdered kava root mixed with cold water, and is traditionally drunk from the half-shell of a coconut, called a ‘bilo’.
How did sailors check if their rum was watered down? They would pour some of the rum onto gunpowder and try to light it. If the powder lit, the rum was “proven” (which means it is over 57% alcohol). This is the original, liquor-related definition of the word, ‘proof’.
How did rum acquire the nickname, “Nelson’s Blood”? After Trafalgar, in 1805, Lord Nelson’s body was prepared for shipping home to England, just as he had requested in his Will. Also included in his final Testament is the instructions for that preparation: that his body be preserved in a barrel of rum. The ship made it home to England. The barrel and body of Nelson made it, too. But when they opened the barrel, the rum was gone—it had been tapped! (Ick-factor of 10.)
When did the history of grog end? Not yet! An American purchased the rights to the formula for grog, and royalties from the sale of grog are still donated to the Royal Navy’s Sailor’s Fund.

Hammarica.com Daily DJ interview: Darkcontroller
Posted on December 7, 2012 October 5, 2014 AuthorDANCE MUSIC PR
He is one of the most successful hardcore DJs from Holland. Hardcore, also knows as Gabber is a style originally created in Holland in the early 90’s. Its success was imminent taken into the account the success of the Thunderdome events and cd series and labels like Mid-Town, Mokum, Ruffneck and more. Darkcontroller is part of the RIGE clan and we were very happy to catch him for an exclusive interview!
Hardcore, the ‘heavy metal’ of house and techno had its ups and downs when it comes to popularity, especially in Holland where it originates from. How would you describe the scene now? Inform us on the positives and negatives.
Well, I know that hardcore started on a basic ground. It all was very simple to make. all music was, if you look at it now. These days are much more complicated and high quality. let’s just say hardcore began in 1992. It excists 20 years now, and still, it has not vanished. Lots of generations that I’ve seen. As darkcontroller, I started around 1999 as Darkcontroller and my first track that has come out was “conscious world”. I made this track in a simple DOS program called fastracker 2.
About the ups & downs…. Yes there were a few of those. I must say that my personal taste goes back to about 8 years ago. That was my start with DNA records (Dark Negative & Anti social), Also a upward for my DJ carrier.
I give you my positives & negatives:
Pos: Hardcore is still alive
Neg: everybody(producers) copies each other
Pos: I am negative thinker
Neg: Hardcore is getting a dip @ the monent, my opinion
You started out producing as DJ Wicked and then moved on as DJ Darkcontroller. Was there a specific reason for the name change?
That’s right. 1993 was the year when I stopped playing hip hop & swingbeat, and became one with the dark side. It was just before the happy hardcore arrived on the scene. I played as a DJ, sometimes @ 3 gigs in a weekend in Holland,belgium & germany. Around 1998 I started producing on a simple music program and made some mainstream tracks for my own record label “hatix”.
The first release was a light green transparant vinyl, with a smashing bootleg remix of Phill Collins “in the air tonight”, which is still played on early hardcore gigs though. The record was sold 2200 times. On this vinyl I also did a bootleg remix of Britneys spears “baby on more time” and “the trick” which appeared on a Masters of Hardcore compilation. The second vinyl on this label was a dark blue transparent and contained bootleg remixes of “o fortuna” and “hate me now” of Nas. This one was sold almost a 2800 copies. After all of this I made a few darker tracks, and didn’t knew what do with them. So I started to think of a second name. It was easy to think of using the phrase “dark”. At the same time I was starting to use the music Cubase on the Atari computer and learned about using controllers. You are getting my drift? Darkcontroller
Do you still play with vinyl? Or did you go all digital? What are the pros and cons for you?
No, I play with cd’s. Mostly when I play somewhere, you’ll find record turntables there as well. But I prefer cd. The most Deejays use the cue button a lot. But I only use it for finding the start signal. I use the vinyl jog function and just play it on the oldskool way. And digital tracks are cheaper.
Could you explain to people who are not so familiar with the hardcore sound, what makes it such a great sub genre of EDM? What does it do to you?
Darkness for the naughty people. Hardcore,darkcore,terror,mainstream, all of this is growing world wide. It makes me proud that the Netherlands made this thing big.
Describe the weirdest night out in your career.
Every night is weird. You will have to give me another interview for that one.
Which remix from your hand are you the most proud of?
That would be my first remix. That’s the remix for E-noid’ “tiny sparks of air”. And I did a remix for the Headbanger & Dione “pain is god” I like that one as well.
Do you do any side projects besides hardcore?
I certainly do. I can’t tell you much about that right now. You will have to interview my other me when the time is right.
All I can say is, I have two more other names for two other scenes. And one of them is an album project for an icon right here in the united states of america.
The biggest crowd you ever played for? How did that feel?
I played on Project hardcore in 27 september I think it was. That was my biggest crowd ever. I don’t know how much people. So many hardcore lovers, that I couldn’t see the back wall. And it feld great. But I also played on more on this sort of kind of gigs. But this one sticks in my memory.
Is there a major difference technically speaking between producing hardcore and other forms of dance music?
I think it’s all the same. Every artist has his own way of using the skills. It depends on what you use in your set up. The only major difference is the style that you make. Every dj & producer has his on style and development. Maybe you can tell its me making hardcore and trance, just for my way of building up a track. It’s all electronic mostly.
Do you have regrets?
No regrets!
Do you use ear protection and do you feel that is important?
No, I still don’t use ear protection. I should do that by the way. If I want to keep my hearing.
Is there something you would like to surprise people with in the next five years?
I would like be first one with a change of style, and that other people will copy that. Only I don’t know what that could be. Keep on finding a breakthrough I guess. It’s hard to tell if I can surprise people within the next five years. Maybe peforming with a mask or something hehehe
Name your personal top 5 of hardcore labels
1.DNA records
2.Enzyme records
3.Industrial strenght
4.Dance ecstascy 2001(pcp)
5.traxtorm records
Is there a final thing you would like to say to our readers?
For the readers I would like to say: check out www.hardtunes.nl for all the major releases of hardcore,darkcore,terror,oldchool & even some hardstyle. Hardcore is still alive & growing. Also I hope, to play in the USA someday. That’s one of my top wish list that I would like to do.

Pete Davidson Goes Off On ‘Piece Of S**t’ Louis C.K. & ‘Cutthroat’ ‘Saturday Night Live’ Co-Stars! – Perez Hilton

March 20, 2020 wp10046 Uncategorized
Pete Davidson isn’t one to bad-mouth fellow stand-ups — unless he’s talking about a certain “piece of s**t” disgraced comedian!
As we reported, the Saturday Night Live star sat down with Charlamagne Tha God for an in-depth interview, where he discussed his
Pete, for his part, has beef with the Louie star going a few years back, after he apparently tried to get him fired from SNL for smoking too much weed. When asked about those rumors, the New Yorker confirmed:
“Yes. It’s a true story… pretty much he just ratted me out to my boss. I never really got over that.”
Which is why Pete really relished Louis’ comedic downfall a few years later. He said:
“Oh my God, it was amazing. I imagine it’s what Ariana feels like now, just watching me tumble for two years. But that felt great. That guy hasn’t been nice to many people. He’s not a nice guy.”
When asked to elaborate, he added:
“He’s a piece of s**t. He’s not nice to young comics…What’s also sh**ty is that he’ll be nice to you one-on-one, and he won’t be real with other people about you.”
Unfortunately, that’s how a lot of industry people have been to the actor — including some of his SNL co-stars.
When asked how much longer he thinks he’ll be on the NBC comedy show, Pete mused:
“I personally think I should be done with that show, because they make fun of me on it. I get [it’s a comedy show], but, like, I am cold open political punchlines, I am Weekend Update jokes… When I’m not there, they’ll be like, ‘Uh huh, Pete Davidson’s a f**king jerk face.’ It’s like, whose side are you on?”
Pete went on to admit:
“I have a weird feeling in that building where I don’t know whose team they’re playing for… I’m the joke or if I’m in on the joke. I really wanted last year to be my last year, but I’m still around…”
While he insisted that Lorne Michaels has been a “father figure” to him, noting the series boss has treated him “with nothing but love,” Davidson described the environment inside Studio 8H as “cutthroat,” sharing:
“Everyone’s trying to get their s**t on. Everyone wants to be the next thing… You’re not gonna get coddled over there, you know… they don’t give a f**k at the end of the day.”
That’s showbiz for you!
Pete also got candid about how fame has affected his mental health, revealing:
“It’s made it much worse. I’m much more insecure. Much more unsure of myself than I’ve ever been. I’m also just embarrassed.”
He’s also still struggling with depression every day:
“I’m always depressed, all the time. I have to constantly bring myself out of it. I wake depressed, but now I know my steps. I have to go outside and be in sun for a little bit, or go for a walk. It’s all just programming yourself to trick your brain.”
The star explained that while he does have suicidal thoughts, he “can’t” go through with it because he’s “got a mom and a sister and a family,” adding:
“I’ve always been suicidal, but I’ve never had the balls, you know. Which I’m very lucky. For the first time, when I went away this time, I felt like I had maybe, almost, the balls. Because when you’re not feeling good and you’re going through all this stuff and there’s people at your house in Staten Island, it just really drives you f**king crazy.”
Thankfully, working on his craft helps keep Davidson away from those dark thoughts. He said:
“It’s the only thing [that helps]. I love it. I love writing, I love hanging with my friends, they’re all really funny and cool. It’s the ultimate distraction.”
Let’s hope he has a long and prosperous career then!

First Look at 4001 A.D.: War Mother #1 by Van Lente & Giorello
July 8, 2016 by The Comic Book Critic
Classified No More! Valiant Reveals First Look Inside 4001 A.D.: WAR MOTHER #1 – Coming in August!
Here’s your first look at 4001 A.D.: War Mother #1 by writer Fred Van Lente and artist Tomas Giorello, on sale August 3rd, 2016 from Valiant Comics.
At long last, Valiant is proud to present your first look inside 4001 A.D.: WAR MOTHER #1 – an all-new, self-contained one-shot exploding out of the pages of the summer’s most ambitious crossover event and launching a major new character into the future of the Valiant Universe! First announced as a top-secret first appearance spinning out of Valiant’s acclaimed 4001 A.D. event, War Mother steps out of a highly speculated-upon cameo in last summer’s best-selling BOOK OF DEATH…and into her armor-piercing full-length debut right here on August 3rd when New York Times best-selling writer Fred Van Lente (IVAR, TIMEWALKER) and spectacular rising star Tomás Giorello (Conan) introduce the 41st century’s most formidable fighter!
Now, after months of speculation, Valiant can now showcase the devastating world of 41st century Earth that War Mother inhabits…and reveal that artist Tomás Giorello is the latest high-caliber talent to join Valiant’s star-studded roster of exclusive creators.
After making his Valiant debut as the lead cover artist for BLOODSHOT REBORN‘s current “BLOODSHOT ISLAND” storyline, Giorello’s first full-length interior work for the award-winning publisher finally arrives in 4001 A.D.: WAR MOTHER #1 – a much anticipated debut that will force War Mother out of the tribe she was born to protect…and onto the front lines of the Valiant Universe alongside Earth’s most powerful heroes of this millennia or the next!
In the 41st century, much of the planet has been reduced to a barren wasteland. New Japan orbits the Earth as a floating oasis that towers over the ashes of the old world. The survivors of this desolate new age, robbed of the planet’s once-lush natural resources, must endure great hardships to survive. Amidst the devastation, one outpost of scientific knowledge has thrived by adhering to a strict code of isolation. But even the denizens of this walled city must venture out into the wasteland to gather supplies from the remnants of what was. This task is designated to one and one alone: War Mother.
But all is not peaceful, even in New Japan. When the space-faring empire begins jettisoning city-sized sectors to Earth during the onset of a civil war, War Mother is called upon with a new mission: mega-salvage! Armed with a newly born sentient sniper rifle, War Mother is a one-woman army bent on sacking the crash-landed sector’s technology-laden debris for anything of value to her tribe. But, as calm turns to chaos, Sector 8146 will reveal a telling secret about Earth’s true order that will collide War Mother against her community, her code, and her calling…and bring destruction down upon one of humanity’s last surviving outposts of order.
Giorello’s previous credits include multiple Conan and Star Wars series for Dark Horse, as well as Batman & Robin, Green Lantern: New Guardians, and Superman/Batman for DC Entertainment. As the latest artist to join Valiant’s stable of exclusive talents, Giorello is the next addition to an acclaimed line-up of Valiant-exclusive creators that also includes Raul Allen (WRATH OF THE ETERNAL WARRIOR), David Baron (BLOODSHOT REBORN), Diego Bernard (NINJAK), Doug Braithwaite (BLOODSHOT U.S.A.), CAFU (RAI), Khari Evans (HARBINGER), Robert Gill (BOOK OF DEATH), Trevor Hairsine (DIVINITY II), Clayton Henry (SAVAGE), David Lafuente (A&A: THE ADVENTURES OF ARCHER & ARMSTRONG), Lewis LaRosa (SAVAGE), Pere Perez (FAITH), Brian Reber (4001 A.D.: WAR MOTHER), Juan Jose Ryp (BRITANNIA), and Mico Suayan (BLOODSHOT REBORN).
Giorello’s next project will be an all-new contribution alongside New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (4001 A.D.) to September’s 64-page X-O MANOWAR #50 anniversary special – a blockbuster-style tribute to the vaunted, 56-issue run that set the Valiant Universe in motion! On September 28th, Valiant’s greatest hero assemble to salute X-O Manowar’s unparalleled impact as one of the longest running superhero series in comics today with all-new, never-before-seen tales and tributes from New York Times best-selling writer and longtime scribe Robert Venditti (Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps) alongside stunning artists Joe Bennett (52), Roberto de la Torre (Daredevil), Cary Nord (Conan), Doug Braithwaite (ARMOR HUNTERS), Diego Bernard (NINJAK), Rafa Sandoval (Green Lantern), and Robert Gill (BOOK OF DEATH); plus Jody Houser (FAITH) & Javier Pulido (Amazing Spider-Man); Philip Tan (Suicide Squad), and many more.

1996: Ebbisaa Addunyaa, extrajudicially executed
1 comment August 30th, 2010 Headsman
On this date in 1996, Oromo singer Ebbissaa Addunyaa was slain in his Addis Ababa home.
He “appeared to have been extrajudicially executed on suspicion of supporting the OLF,” according to Amnesty International. “No investigations were known to have taken place into allegations of torture, ”disappearance” or extrajudicial execution.”
“Extrajudicial execution” is a category challenge for these pages; Ebbisaa Addunyaa was not tried for anything, never mind convicted. His “execution” was a close cousin to simple murder … but a murder carried out by state security forces, targeting him specifically, and acting, if not under color of law, at least with legal impunity.
Ebbisaa and his friend Tana Wayessa
were at Ebbisaa’s home … north of the American Embassy in Addis Ababa, when gunmen burst in. Eyewitnesses claim the bodies were dragged from the house and put in a Land Rover with a government license plate. The security men, who carried out the murders, first cleared the street. Residents who looked out of their houses after the gunfire were told to get back indoors. The bodies were recovered [the] next day from the morgue at the Menelik II hospital.
All this took place in the turbulent 1990s wake of the collapsed Derg dictatorship. An initial multiparty post-Derg coalition government had included the Oromo Liberation Front — an organization upholding the rights of Ethiopia’s largest ethnic group — but the OLF soon withdrew from the coalition.
Ebbisaa was an OLF cadre who used his musical gifts for advocacy, and became a target when the outlawed OLF was forced underground.
A United Nations “Special Rapporteur” monitors “Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions” for the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
Many of the Special Rapporteur’s reports dating back to the 1990s are available on the website of NYU’s Project on Extrajudicial Executions, and the 1997 country report (pdf) for Ethiopia reveals that Ebbisaa’s execution/assassination/murder was only one in a pattern.
The Special Rapporteur transmitted the following allegations of violations of the right to life concerning 16 identified persons and 13 unidentified persons: Ahmed Good Abdi, Ahmed Sanay Farah, Ahmed Sangaab and Hassan Ahmed Sagal, reportedly arrested and killed on 8 August 1996 in Toon-Ceeley by members of the Ethiopian armed forces; Ebissa Addunya, a singer and musician, and Tana Wayessa, reportedly shot and killed on 30 August 1996 by members of the Ethiopian security forces in the former’s house in Addis Ababa; 4 unidentified persons reportedly killed on 8 August 1996 in Gabababo; Awal Idire, aged 16, Awal Sani, aged 13, Badiri Shaza, aged 12, and Usen Kalu, aged 12, reportedly killed on 20 July 1996 by members of the Ethiopian armed forces because they had the initials of the Oromo Liberation Front tattooed on their hands; Mohamed Arabi Hirsi, Abdi Mohamed Yare, Gahnug Yusuf Aare, Mohamed Aw Farah Ga’iye, Haye Hirad, alleged to be tribal chiefs and clan elders, reportedly killed on 18 July 1996 by members of the Ethiopian armed forces; Sarecya Seerar Mohamed, her newborn child and eight other unidentified individuals, reportedly killed in mid-August 1996 by members of the Ethiopian armed forces in Qabridaharre (30 September 1996).

We've been Quoted
Black Spring Blog Tour
, by Kt Clapsadl
*Where did you get the inspiration for the Black Wings series?
I’d wanted to write a series about a grim reaper, and I had some very vague ideas about that story. At first I thought the protagonist would be male, and that the series would be much darker. Then I heard Maddy and Beezle talking in my head, and they dictated the both the plot and the tone of the entire series.
*How many books do you have planned in the series? Is this the last book? Any hints you can give us for what's in store next?
BLACK SPRING is the last book in the series for now. There is always the possibility that I may return to the series in the future if I feel that there are other stories to tell in Maddy’s universe. I’d like to try my hand at writing something different.
*If your books were to be made into a movie, who would be your top picks for the cast?
I always thought of Michael Fassbender as Gabriel. This is not necessarily because he looks like Gabriel but because Gabriel’s voice in my head always sounded like Michael Fassbender. Other than that I think it’s better to cast unknown actors. That way you see the actor as the character and don’t impose your previously conceived notion of a famous actor on the story.
*Could you tell us a little about the ups and downs you have experienced in publishing?
I’ve actually had a lot more ups than downs. I got very lucky because I was able to sell my first book fairly quickly – it took less than a year. Since then I’ve been able to continue selling new books to my publisher so I’m very grateful that people keep buying and reading them and keeping me in the business J
*What are some of your favorite books in the paranormal or dystopian genres?
I’m a huge fan of Jim Butcher, China Mieville, Joe Hill, Neil Gaiman and Robin McKinley. I also read a lot of mysteries and nonfiction.
*If you could tell readers one thing about yourself or your books, what would that be?
I try out everything Beezle likes to eat in the books. You know, in the name of research.
*What is the craziest or at least most interesting thing you have ever done?
I’m sure the least interesting thing I’ve ever done was work for an insurance company. However, there was an upside – it inspired the never-ending stream of paperwork that Maddy has to deal with at the Agency.
*Just for fun. If you were stranded somewhere but had electricity, what three things other than basic survival supplies, would you have to have?
My slow cooker, a large box of books, and a case of wine.
*Finish this statement: "You'll like the Black Wings series if...
…you like humor mixed with different mythologies and urban fantasy action.
Thanks Christina!

She is also the author of the forthcoming dark fantasy ALICE (summer 2015).
Christina was born in New York and now lives on the North Side of Chicago with her husband and son. She sees no conflict in rooting for both the Yankees and the Cubs. She also enjoys running long distances, eating large quantities of cinnamon rolls, reading anything she can get her hands on and watching movies with zombies, samurai and/or subtitles.

A former Agent of death, Madeline Black now has everything to live for, most importantly, her unborn child. But Chicago has become ground zero in a struggle between ancient creatures, and only Maddy can stop the carnage…
The mayor of Chicago has announced a plan to round up the city’s supernatural beings and put them in camps. With her due date looming, Maddy’s best move would be to lay low for a while. But not everyone is willing to respect her privacy.

Nokia to expand its transport portfolio in effort to support operators 5G investment
Written on Wednesday, 20 February 2019 13:38
In advance of Mobile World Congress, Nokia today announces a raft of enhancements to its Anyhaul transport portfolio that help operators prepare their networks for 5G by delivering throughput speeds of up to 25 Gbps to base stations.
The launches span microwave, optical, IP and broadband technologies within a carrier Software Defined Networking (SDN) transport architecture. This simplifies the integration of transport with cloud-based radio access and core networks, thereby enabling an automated end-to-end 5G network slicing and service provisioning system.
Nokia Anyhaul is the industry's most extensive range of transport solutions. These solutions can be rapidly and dynamically provisioned to support the massive connectivity, extreme low latency and very high throughput demands of 5G services.
Programmability and automation dynamically create transport network slices to quickly and cost-effectively match diverse application and user needs with end-to-end service delivery guarantees.
The Nokia Anyhaul portfolio enables operators to deploy the optimal mix of transport technologies to create a flexible fabric that matches their unique network and business needs.
The new Nokia 1830 Versatile WDM Module (VWM) Translation Line Unit (TLU)-200 provides high density wavelength translation at 10 Gbps and 25 Gbps speeds. Purpose-built for Cloud RAN and Edge Cloud requirements, it simplifies operations and improves reliability of fronthaul connectivity for 4G Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI)/Open Base Station Architecture Initiative (OBSAI) and 5G eCPRI data.
A new, compact interconnect router, the Nokia 7250 IXR-e, is purpose-built to support 5G and edge cloud requirements at or near base stations with 1/10/25/100 GE interfaces. The 7250 IXR-e features a compact architecture with efficient cooling and optimized space efficiency for minimal installation costs. It complements the previously released 7250 IXR-R6, which also supports 5G requirements and 1/10/25/100 GE interfaces.
A proof of concept of Nokia Broadband Anyhaul 25G Passive Optical Network (PON) demonstrates the viability of building on existing fiber infrastructure to offer 25 Gbps speeds. Co-existing with 2.5G and 10G PON technologies, 25G PON enables more radio access sites to be connected on the same fiber to reduce costs.
Nokia has successfully trialed 25G PON proof of concept with T-1 operators in North America and Japan in January 2019.
Jimmy Yu, Vice President at Dell'Oro Group, said: "Mobile backhaul has always been done with a variety of transport technologies to balance the needs of performance, time, and economics. This will continue with 5G, and for this reason, operators will need an assortment of transport technologies-microwave, optical, IP and PON-that suit their unique requirements in 5G fronthaul and backhaul. The rollout of 5G has just started this year and if our predictions are correct, demand for 5G backhaul transport systems (not including fiber) will begin ramping in a year's time and surpass $1 billion of annual sales in the following two years."
Phil Twist, VP of Networks Marketing and Communications, at Nokia said: "Our Anyhaul portfolio is a key element of the Nokia 5G Future X architecture, which equips our customers to take advantage of the promise of this next generation of network technology. Nokia Anyhaul has been deployed globally and is now being selected in countries such as the US, Japan, China, and South Korea where we are helping the fast-movers transform to 5G. The expertise and invaluable best practices we gain will further simplify and reduce risk for other operators as they move to 5G."
Nokia launches new IoT solutions aimed at helping operators win new business
Written on Tuesday, 12 February 2019 11:11
In advance of Mobile World Congress, Nokia today launched off-the-shelf Internet of Things (IoT) packages to help operators win new business in vertical IoT markets.
In addition to enabling operators to achieve a fast time to market, the packages simplify the set-up and operations of enterprise IoT services.
Built on the Nokia Worldwide IoT Network Grid (WING) infrastructure that provides the necessary global IoT connectivity and services support, the applications include IoT sensors, user applications and business models suited to specific sectors. Nokia WING's managed service approach also offers a pay-as-you-grow business model, giving operators the flexibility to quickly scale up IoT services as required.
The new market-ready solutions for WING eliminate the challenges facing operators developing their own IoT services.
These include the need for specialized expertise, the complexities of combining fragmented IoT connectivity infrastructure and the risk and effort of setting up and working with multiple service providers globally. Nokia works with best-in-class partners on Nokia WING vertical applications portfolio and continues to develop the IoT ecosystem.
The four new solutions announced today by Nokia include:
Smart Agriculture as-a-Service: Sensors capture environmental, soil and crop data that is then analyzed to provide insights that help farmers manage crops more effectively, potentially saving costs on irrigation, pesticides and fertilizers.
Livestock Management as-a-Service: Tracking devices and biosensors monitor animal health and welfare to provide ranchers with early alerts if abnormalities are detected, protecting valuable livestock and improving yields.
Logistics as-a-Service: IoT sensors enable tracking of the global movement and condition of goods through the complete supply chain to help enterprises instantly identify incidents and even predict future events to optimize delivery and logistics process efficiency.
Asset Management as-a-Service: Connecting products anywhere in the world enables their status and performance to be monitored centrally, helping enterprises provide a better service to their business and consumer customers.
Nokia is trialing Agriculture as-a-Service with an African operator and working with a leading services and consulting firm on Asset Management as-a-Service to help them offer more advanced services.
Brian Partridge, Vice President, 451 Research, said: "Nokia addresses a wide spectrum of challenges through its WING IoT infrastructure-as-a-service so its early traction with customers isn't a surprise. Most telecom operators desire a more prominent role in the IoT value chain that builds upon secure and reliable domestic or global connectivity. Nokia's announced plans to offer end-to-end vertical applications on top of the WING global infrastructure is a logical next step. We believe that this approach benefits Nokia's WING telecom customers and the enterprises they serve in addition to vertical application partners who can benefit from WING's market scale and go-to market channels."
Ankur Bhan, Global Head of WING Business at Nokia, said: "The IoT is a growing opportunity for operators to win new enterprise customers and significant additional revenue in a diverse range of vertical markets. With minimal upfront investment, an operator can now quickly get a service to market and generate IoT revenues. We expect these vertical solutions to encourage more operators to connect to Nokia WING, expanding its global footprint and broadening the range of capabilities and services that will become available. We already have several more vertically-focused as-a-Service packages in the development pipeline."
Ericsson launches critical communications broadband portfolio for service providers
Ericsson has launched its critical communications broadband portfolio for service providers. This will enable service providers to meet the business-critical and mission-critical needs of industries and public safety agencies as digitalization and modernization of land mobile radio communications increases.
When communication is disrupted by minutes, seconds, or even milliseconds, it can have huge consequences for business operations, or serious implications for public safety. The need for fast and reliable communication is therefore paramount.
Such critical communications are used in many areas: from first responders and nationwide emergency services to workforce safety in enterprises. There is a growing demand for business and mission-critical broadband for such use cases. Service providers need to deliver the highest level of availability, reliability and security to meet this demand.
To meet critical communications users’ needs, Ericsson has developed a new portfolio comprising three offerings: critical network capabilities; critical broadband applications;\ and flexible deployments for both local private networks, and nationwide mission-critical LTE networks.
Per Narvinger, Head of Product Area Networks, Ericsson, says: “We see growth opportunities for service providers and government operators by addressing new segments with LTE/5G networks. Our critical broadband portfolio will enable our customers to effectively secure the critical communication needs of sectors such as public safety, energy and utilities, transportation, and manufacturing.”
Critical network capabilities
This offering includes advanced features for critical network performance and covers the following: high network availability; multi-network operation with spectrum sharing techniques; and coverage and capacity for critical applications. It also includes network security capabilities that ensure network services are maintained even when the infrastructure is under attack. Finally, quality of service, priority and preemption all guarantee latency performance and capacity requirements during high load and congestion.
The critical network capabilities include new features that simplify the rollout of broadcasting services across nationwide areas. Another new feature enables radio access sites to operate in fallback mode, should the network connection fail. This offering also includes deployable systems that allow temporary coverage for disaster recovery and operations in rural areas without existing coverage.
Critical broadband applications
This offering covers Ericsson Group-Radio that provides mission-critical push-to-talk, data and video services. This will enable, for example, blue light personnel such as the police to be more effective in performing community services that require advanced mobile broadband.
Flexible deployments for private networks
New business models are emerging for industries. From owning and operating their own networks, critical industries are now procuring private networks and services that leverage service providers’ existing network assets and operations – without compromising required local control.
Ericsson’s flexible deployments for private networks range from network slicing to fully dedicated networks, enabling service providers to offer scalable, critical broadband network solutions and services for critical industries.
Ericsson also offers managed services for private networks, with solutions based on AI and automation that predict and prevent events while reducing OPEX. These solutions enable service providers to reduce time-to-market and onboard new industries, while securing critical service level agreements.
Critical broadband will enable industries to increase efficiency through the following: enhancing workforce productivity and safety; massive onboarding of devices and sensors; real-time location of assets and equipment; and data collection to boost equipment and personnel performance and avoid downtime.
Japanese operator deploys new ultra-broadband solution from Nokia
KDDI, a leading telecommunications operator in Japan, is deploying Nokia's G.fast solution to apartments and multi-dwelling units (MDU) buildings to deliver ultra-broadband services to customers.
Reducing the need to install new fiber, Nokia's technology will enable KDDI to use existing copper lines in MDU buildings to deliver 830Mbps combined uplink and downlink speeds to customers.
To support customers' ultra-broadband needs, Japanese operators are using fiber where possible along with new technologies like G.fast for a large number of MDU locations where copper is already installed.
Developed by Nokia Bell Labs, G.fast uses vectoring technology to effectively reduce cross-talk interference that typically impacts data speeds over copper networks.
Providing support for Japan's VDSL2 specifications, Nokia's G.fast solution will minimize the impact to existing VDSL systems and enable operators to quickly upgrade their high-speed internet service to gigabit class through a simple CPE (customer premises equipment) replacement.
KDDI has been deploying Nokia's G.fast solution and has started its rollout of 'au Hikari MDU Type G'.
Teresa Mastrangelo, principal analyst at Broadband Trends said: "G.fast continues to be a preferred choice for operators seeking to deliver gigabit broadband services to MDUs as it eliminates many of the issues found with FTTH deployments such as building types and access. However, in Japan, deploying G.fast can be just as challenging as fiber due to the unique VDSL ecosystem and standards in place.
As one of the few vendors capable of supporting both the global and local Japanese VDSL standard, Nokia has been able to help KDDI capitalize on the benefits of G.fast and seamlessly scale and migrate their network with minimal disruption. This win is another great example for how G.fast technology is being used to quickly address customers need for greater broadband speeds."
Shigenari Saito, Administrative Officer, General Manager, Network Technology Development Division, Technology Sector, at KDDI said:
"KDDI already provides 10Gbps service for our 'au Hikari' FTTH customers, but the speed we can provide has been limited to 100Mbps service for MDUs where fiber is difficult to deploy. Nokia's G.fast solution enables us to connect existing 100Mbps users and new G.fast users under the same DPU (distribution point unit). This gives us the flexibility and economical path to meet the customer's demands for higher speed. Our decision to deploy Nokia G.fast is based on our long-term relationship and Nokia continues to be our long-term partner for delivering technology innovations."
Sandra Motley, president of Nokia's Fixed Networks Business Group, said: "Operators looking to quickly roll out new ultra-broadband services are increasingly adopting multi-technology strategies that allow them to maximize the use of both fiber and copper technologies. This is particularly true in some cases like inside an apartment building, where more traditional Fiber-to-the-Home solutions can be very challenging to deploy. We are excited to be working with KDDI to deploy our G.fast solution to deliver fiber-like speeds that will enhance the way customers experience their broadband services."

NGMN highlight the 5G services required to build a ‘connected future’
The Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN) Alliance - which drives and guides the development of all future mobile broadband technology with a focus on 5G - has published its three deliverables on 5G Extreme Requirements entitled “Operators’ views on fundamental trade-offs”, “RAN Solutions”, and “End-to-End considerations”, respectively.
Compiled by the Alliance’s 5G Extreme Requirements task force, the papers aim to highlight what implications and trade-offs related to the delivery of new 5G services are relevant for mobile network operators.
Ilaria Thibault, task force lead and Principal Researcher at Vodafone commented: “We are very excited to reveal the findings of the outcome of the Extreme Requirements task force, which was to really strike at the heart of what needs to be assessed before the world embarks on advanced 5G services.
This work quantifies and analyses the coverage impact of delivering new extreme 5G services (Ultra-reliable and Low-latency – URLLC) for the radio access network with a theoretical analysis, system-level simulations, and field trials. End-to-end deployment guidelines for meeting extreme requirements at a service level are also provided. Among these guidelines, techniques such as path redundancy and new transport-layer protocols are discussed to improve end-to-end latency and reliability.
For latency-critical services, interworking between the Non-3GPP processing delays and 3GPP processing delays has been assessed.”
CEO of the NGMN Alliance Peter Meissner added: “Our task force has highlighted several key challenges that are crucial to the future of 5G’s connectivity path - and how the industry needs to adequately deal with these. Consequently, this year’s NGMN Conference & Exhibition will see us run a special session where operators are set to share results from their 5G tests, trials and first user experience. Our aim is to uncover the new use cases of 5G and how they will be leveraged in the next few years.”

Dealers sour on Caesars
By Liz Benston, Las Vegas Sun
LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- The story of why dealers at Caesars Palace are organizing a union is part of a bigger story about the transformation of the casino industry from its family-run roots in the mob to the modern era of megaresort operators.
Some of the problems dealers have with their employer are not specific to Caesars but are endemic to the Strip and even to corporate America, where minimum wage workers are vulnerable to the whims of management and Wall Street.
But mostly, the story is more local and more personal, about a long-term relationship gone sour.
Dealers at Caesars are unlike most rank-and-file workers in this country. They can earn more than $70,000 per year with tips and without much formal education. And unlike other skilled laborers, they have a mystique and fame that rises above the mundane aspects of the job.
Caesars, an iconic symbol of Las Vegas, used to be known as "Dealers Palace" for its high-limit, high profile table games and experienced pit crew.
Dealers loved working there. But they say they have come to also feel like abused spouses who have grown accustomed to what has become a dysfunctional relationship.
The organizing effort, they say, is much more than a defense tactic in the face of Steve Wynn's controversial move last year requiring dealers to share their tips with their immediate supervisors - a move that drove angered dealers to unionize at Wynn Las Vegas.
"That was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back," said Ernie Acevedo, a 15-year roulette and blackjack dealer at Caesars. "But there's a lot more to this."
This union drive comes after years of built-up resentments. They say Wynn's tip policy has given them the courage to call out their abusers in management as manipulative - demoralizing, even.
Bringing in a union, they say, is their last-ditch effort to salvage their relationship rather than abandon it for dead.
But casino bosses, who have successfully fended off unions in their table game pits for years, see them as anything but marriage counselors.
Many bosses believe unions are obsolete vestiges of a time before federal labor laws, when employers were truly abusive. Some say unions are counterproductive to running a business - hampering growth and the ability to respond to changing market conditions, which can end up hurting job prospects as well as profits.
"We support workers' rights to organize ... we have a great relationship with the Culinary Union ... but we feel that dealers are far better served working directly with management," said Jan Jones, an executive at Harrah's Entertainment, which owns Caesars Palace. "We can assure them that pooling (dealer tips with supervisors) has never been one of our policies."
Involving a union means this issue, like others, becomes subject to formal negotiations, Jones said.
Several dealers, including the two profiled here, don't claim to be union sympathizers. They aren't acting in anger like their counterparts at Wynn. Instead, they describe a sinking feeling of frustration, even desperation, with an institution that treats them more like insolent children than adults.
"I often think that some of these people don't have children because if they dealt with children in this way they'd raise paranoid schizophrenics," Acevedo said.
They reminisce about what they call the "good old days" - the early years before they began to mistrust their supervisors and fear they could be fired for a misunderstanding or minor infraction.
"They used to treat us with respect," Acevedo said. "They didn't let customers get out of line and when that happened, they would back you up. They respected our integrity and would say, 'We don't do that here.' "
But table games are less critical in this new world, where slots and even electronic versions of table games are replacing tables with live dealers.
In short, dealers are more afraid for their jobs than ever.
A majority of Caesars' dealers have signed union authorization cards to be represented by the Transport Workers Union.
A National Labor Relations Board-supervised, secret-ballot election will be held in the employee dining room Dec. 22. Dealers with similar gripes have just begun organizing under the TWU banner at other Strip properties.

Farwell: freshman golfer Bria Colosky takes the local scene by storm
John Raffel
FARWELL – Farwell girls golf coach T. J. Staley is not surprised that freshman Bria Colosky is taking the local high school golf scene by storm in her debut matches.
Colosky won with an 86 at the Alma Panther Classic Invitational earlier in the season and has fired a low of 82. But she's expecting even more. After competing in junior events during the summer, Colosky has enjoyed playing in the high school atmosphere.
She won the Farwell Invitational at Eagle Glen Course Course in early September with an 89 . She was the only freshman playing, but she beat all the sophomores,
“She's really hard on herself,” Staley said. “She expects more of herself, which is fine.”
“I would like to break 80,” Colosky said. “That would take more concentration on my part.”
Colosky said she played practically every night at Eagle Glen during the summer.
“She plays a lot with her dad,” Staley said.
Colosky showed extensive potential during the summer during junior tournaments. She won the 13-and-14-year-old division this summer at the Riverwood State Junior Golf Tournament.
Expectations were high as she got ready for the fall golf season. But as Staley pointed out, there are never any guarantees.
“It's a whole different animal getting used to high school golf,” Staley said. “We'd like to get more girls out on the team so she could also enjoy the team experience.”
As the season started out, Colosky only had two teammates, meaning the Eagles weren't able to post a team score.
“We need some more girls to come out and be on our team,” Colosky said. “We're not eligible for team trophies, but we are a strong team, no matter what.”
Looking ahead, Colosky is confident she'll be able to qualify for the state finals in October “if I'm on my A game.”
Staley is also confident that Colosky has the potential to qualify for the state finals.
Colosky wants to work on her putting and getting up and down effectively.
She has found the high school courses to be challenging for her game.
“The Fortress at Frankenmuth, that was the most challenging we've played so far this year,” she said. “They've all been fun.”

Childish Gambino Settles Royalty Dispute With Glassnote Records
Kevin Winter/Getty Images for iHeartMedia
Another win for Gambino.
As we reported in late 2018, Childish Gambino sued his former label Glassnote Records in a dispute over royalties. Gambino recorded his first three albums with Glassnote, but ligation came into play once the multi-talented artist chose to hold out for unpaid streaming royalties. According to Complex, Glassnote insisted that they owned the copyrights to the music recorded while Gambino was signed to them. Subsequently, Glassnote believes they are entitled to 50 percent of the royalties generated from "non-interactive streaming services." McDJ Recordings, which is Gambino's imprint, struck back and stated that they had maintained ownership of the masters and only licensed them to Glassnote. Glover concluded that he was entitled to the majority of the royalties since he was both the recording artist and the owner of the music.

Glassnote sued for what they felt they were owed, and Gambino and McDJ accused Glassnote of breach of contract, good faith, fair dealing, fiduciary duty, and negligence. Now, Variety is reporting that 'Bino and Glassnote have settled the lawsuit. The media site reports that in a stipulation filed on Friday (March 1) in the Southern District of New York, both parties agreed to drop their lawsuits. Both parties agreed to pay their own attorneys’ fees, but the terms of the settlement were not revealed.

Zoowaboo
Splash! And Eddi Elephant lands in the water. The other animals giggle and guffaw. Manni Mouse is doubling over with laughter. He knew that there wouldn’t be enough room on the raft! Every year, the animals go on a rafting tour on the wild river, and nobody wants to miss out on the fun. But will there be enough room for all?
At the start of each round, players lay out ten Animal cards around one raft. Each player has two chits, Yes and No, and they secretly vote on whether they think all ten animals will fit on the raft. If all players say "Yes," then another animal card is drawn and players vote again. If some players vote "Yes" while others vote "No," then those players who voted "Yes" flip over the sand timer and work as a team to try to fit all of the animals on the raft. The players of whichever team guessed correctly win some points depending on the round, and whoever has the most points after six rounds wins.

Technology isn't Magic. Let's Make it Work better for Artists and Musicians.
By Kevin Erickson and Jean Cook
Creativz
These stories speak to the current conflicted state of many artists’ relationship with technology — we sense the incredible potential of technology, and yet we also sense a failure to live up to that potential, because the technology and the supporting infrastructure isn’t really being built with all of us in mind. Discourse around technology possibilities for artists alternatively gravitates toward the utopic — tech will solve everything and bring about a democratized cultural landscape — and the dystopic — technology will ruin everything, dumb down our audiences, and steal our lunch money!
American Federation of Musicians
Built to Last: The Importance of Sustainable Digital Tools for Musicians
Musicians are a very adaptable bunch, particularly independents. We’re the ones who turned the original MySpace into a powerhouse of music discovery; we’ve made Twitter an important platform for conversations about music; we continue to drive eyeballs to YouTube. Unfortunately musicians have also experienced the hassles of having a once-dependable platform disappear or transform into something that isn’t so useful, like when MySpace went Murdoch or the recent changes to Facebook.
Musicians’ needs in the digital realm might not be simple, per se, but they should be recognized. Although artists are generally enthusiastic about digital tools to reach fans, raise capital and sell stuff, we’re less thrilled when an online service goes away or is modified to the extent that its less useful. When news broke recently that streaming on-demand site Beats Music had acquired Topspin—a well-liked, direct-to-fan commerce solution for musicians—many wondered what this would mean for artists who had come to depend on its suite of services.

Pizza Press opens in Irvine!
Pizza, please!
The Pizza Press debuts at Woodbridge Village
By ICN Dining Critic
I’m one of those people who actually read T-shirts. I note with interest the brands, teams and travel destinations they depict, and the messages, slogans and sayings on them. You can tell a lot about folks by the words they’re willing to wear. A personal peeve: graphic language in public places.
The other day I got a chuckle out of what a teenager’s T-shirt had to day: “You can’t make everybody happy—you’re not pizza!” Not trying to please everyone all the time is a decent life lesson. And it is true that almost everyone loves pizza, in some form or another.
Which is why we have so many pizza places in Irvine.
There are old school favorites like Lamppost, Ray’s, First Class, Northwood and the newer Square One, elevated culinary options that include North Italia, Cucina Enoteca and Angelina’s Pizzeria Napoletana, big brands like California Pizza Kitchen, and the many assembly line-style spots that have popped up in recent years, including Pieology, Blaze Pizza and MOD Pizza.
Now, we can add The Pizza Press to Irvine’s list of options, as the first location of the Anaheim-based brand opened recently at Woodbridge Village Center.
And not a moment too soon, for those families that are often at the center for Focus Dance, Kumon, Yamaha Music or one of the many other after-school enrichment opportunities at the center.
The Pizza Press is my favorite among the fast casual brands. Hey, I’m a sucker for storytelling. I like the nostalgic, newspaper-themed interiors, menu items and branding. Plus, several of the locations have a smarter sense of place than other chains. The first Pizza Press debuted in 2012 on Harbor Blvd. across from Disneyland, and was followed by restaurants in Old Town Orange and downtown Santa Ana. So the choice of Woodbridge Village for the first Pizza Press in Irvine over other more homogenous centers in the city seems apropos, as the center has a more defined sense of place, especially after the remodel. A touch of history, even.
So how is the food? It delivers what it promises: offering up relatively quick, reasonably tasty pizza, how you like it, in a pleasant space. Now, a confession: I don’t love fast casual pizza. In the balance between convenience and cuisine, the category tilts too far toward convenience, in my opinion. Still, because of its location, The Pizza Press has worked its way into my rotation that includes First Class, Lamppost, CPK, Angelina’s and even Costco.
The Pizza Press also wins extra points for good service—lots of smiles at the Woodbridge location—and an adventurous craft beer menu that sets it apart from the other chains. Though convenience and quick service is a main draw, the wait can be longer if a party is ordering several pizzas, and taking their time choosing toppings for each.
Since many of the customers we’ve seen in the restaurant are families, let’s look at options. The main one is called the Jr. Editor, a 6-inch pizza with up to two toppings for $7.50, which includes a drink and a cookie. If your child is picky, go for the cheesy garlic bread. It’s a pizza crust and cheese, with not too much garlic nor spice, and no annoying green bits to upset the particular child. Plus, it’s only $5.
That may be only the second-best deal at Pizza Press. The first is two cans of craft beer for $6. There are several choices in the cooler, though you may have to dig for one you like. There are better choices on draft, with the prices in the normal $6-$8 range.
So what’s next at Woodbridge Village? There are still some vacancies, both existing and (alas) probably to come. What restaurant or kind of cuisine would you like to see at the center?

Houston Zoo's elephant program criticized, Group labels it one of 10 worst in U.S. over number of animal deaths from herpes virus
, SALATHEIA BRYANT, Houston Chronicle
The Houston Zoo has made a national animal-protection organization's list of the country's 10 worst zoos for pachyderms because of the number of deaths from herpes virus.
In Defense of Animals this week labeled Houston's elephant program a "breeding ground for misery," noting that five elephants born at the Houston Zoo over the last 15 years have either died there or at other facilities where they had been shipped.

Courtney Barnett: One Night Only
From Where I’m Standing: Live from the Royal Exhibition Building

Courtney Barnett: Live from the Royal Exhibition Building
Thursday, December 17th Courtney Barnett reassembles her band and premieres their one night only livestream; From Where I’m Standing: Live from the Royal Exhibition Building. In a pre-show interview Barnett admits the band’s under-rehearsed, she prefers writing to performing and has been known to write songs that languish unfinished… but she also loves a challenge, was eager try out some new material and get back together with her band. After years of non-stop touring, Barnett’s time off made the prospect of playing live again exciting and gave her the time to finish songs she had accumulated during the solo tour she was on just before everything stopped. A shy person at heart, Barnett felt playing a big hall without an audience worked to her advantage, giving her a better chance to focus and pour her energies into the songs.
Both times I saw Courtney perform I was awestruck by her scathing guitar skills. While her beat-poet flows harnessed to folksy notions turn heads and drop jaws, to see her spill out those knotted lyrics while knocking out twisty riffs and banging solos is a sight to behold. Bringing back old cohorts Bones Sloane on drums and Dave Mudie on bass, Courtney recently added Lucy Waldron on cello for a show that is certain to rumble and roar in poignant choruses, quick-change refrains and curving verses.
Listening to her albums in preparation for the livestream event, I marveled how relevant Barnett’s tales of isolation had become in a year of lockdowns and quarantines. Her attempts to make sense and connect to something in this world hit home in ways I couldn’t have imagined when they first came out. Don’t miss this opportunity to revisit old favorites, catch a few covers and hear some new songs. For tickets and information visit http://dice.fm/artist/courtney-barnett-z6a2

NFL Draft 2019 Sneak Peek
by McGowan Mania 4:47 PM
Drew Lock, Missouri
After months and months of speculation and scouting, the 2018 NFL Draft process has come to its inevitable conclusion. Time will obviously tell which teams made the right moves, and which ones are still a few players away from releasing their potential. Now, the 2019 NFL Draft has unofficially began and while plenty will change between now and next April, we have a good idea of which prospects scouts will be watching closely. The pass rusher class is impressive, while the quarterback group might need some serious work. Here is an in-depth look at which prospects will likely hear their names called first next year.
Shea Patterson, Michigan
Patterson was the biggest name on the transfer market this off-season, as the former Ole Miss quarterback was allowed immediate eligibility to play anywhere. He surprised many by ending up at Michigan, who desperately needed a new signal-caller to jumpstart a weak offense. Talent-wise Patterson is at an incredibly high level; he has elite arm talent and moves very well around in the pocket. He has drawn plenty of comparisons to Johnny Manziel, without the serious off-the-field issues. If he lives up to his vast potential and has a productive year in Ann Arbor, it isn't crazy to think the former five-star recruit will be the first QB off the board in 2019.
Justin Herbert, Oregon
Despite missing a big chunk of last season with injury, NFL personnel are very high on Justin Herbert out of Oregon. Herbert originally took over the quarterback spot as a true freshman, and he has shown the ability to run an offense effectively and stretch the field with an excellent deep ball. He still has to limit his turnovers and there are some questions about the transition from the offense Oregon runs to an NFL offense. However, Marcus Mariota has shown that making the move from a spread, shotgun-oriented attack to a pro-style offense is not impossible.
After putting up huge numbers in 2017, Drew Lock flirted with the idea of going to the NFL, but decided to spend one more season in Columbia, where he has an argument as a dark horse Heisman candidate. Lock plays in a very open offense where his huge arm is on full display, and he was a big reason for the Tigers' big improvement this past year. Right now, his potential is incredibly intriguing, but he is another player that has plenty to prove to NFL scouts.
Others to Watch
Clayton Thorson, Northwestern
Jake Browning, Washington
Ryan Finley, NC State
Runningbacks
Damien Harris, Alabama
It appears Damien Harris is the next stud Alabama runningback set to take his talents to the NFL. Harris has split carries for most of his career, but should be the feature back in 2018 with Bo Scarbrough gone, even with rising sophomore Najee Harris. He's a hard-nosed, physical runner with decent burst once he sees the open field.
Bryce Love, Stanford
Taking over for legendary players like Christian McCaffrey is obviously a super tall task, but it didn't intimidate Bryce Love in 2017, as he put together a superb, Heisman-level season. He flirted with the idea of going pro, but instead decided to come back to Palo Alto. Love is a little bit small for the physical NFL, but his speed and explosiveness should still ensure that he puts together a successful career at the next level.
Justice Hill, Oklahoma State
Playing in an offense that had a star QB and receiver, Justice Hill has often gotten ignored during his tenure in Stillwater. However, Hill should be the sole star of the offense this season, and the explosive runner should put on a show. Much like Love, Hill is a little bit on the smaller side, but he has excellent vision and terrific cutting ability. Hill is also a very good pass-catcher who will find ways to contribute wherever he ends up.
Rodney Anderson, Oklahoma
Mike Weber, Ohio State
Benny Snell Jr., Kentucky
Receivers/Tight Ends
A.J. Brown, Ole Miss
While Patterson is now gone, A.J. Brown is still in Oxford, and could be in store for a huge season. Brown has good size, impressive athleticism and a huge catch radius. He is one of the more underrated wide receivers in the entire country, but is the type of player that will put up huge numbers at the Combine. It isn't hard to envision him being a Top 10 selection in the near future.
David Sills, West Virginia
Sills is one of the most interesting stories in college football. As a teenager, he was deemed the "next big thing" at quarterback and was supposed to star at USC. He ends up moving positions and ending up at West Virginia, and in turn puts up huge numbers this past season. He isn't the quickest player on the field, but he is a superb route runner that has incredibly reliable hands. Sills is a high character, rock-solid prospect that should end up going in the first two rounds.
Ahmmon Richards, Miami
As a freshman in 2016, Ahmmon Richards totaled 49 receptions for 934 yards and looked like a future superstar. He suffered through an injury-riddled 2017, but still showed flashes of brilliance. He has a good mix of speed, size and overall athleticism, and he could only get better as he gets back to 100 percent. I expect a big junior year from Richards, and I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being the top wide out off the board.
N'Keal Harry, Arizona State
Collin Johnson, Texas
C.J. Conrad, Kentucky
Mitch Hyatt, OT, Clemson
I featured Mitch Hyatt on this list a year ago, and I was surprised the Clemson offensive tackle decided to stick around another year, as he was a projected high pick. Hyatt is as experienced and established as you can get in the collegiate ranks, and he has played a big role in the success of Deshaun Watson and Kelly Bryant. He is the type of well-built, effective left tackle you can build an O-Line around for years.
Beau Benzschawel, OG, Wisconsin
Benzschawel is just one of the number of Wisconsin offensive linemen who should be high draft picks in 2019. Benzschawel is the prototypical Badgers linemen: a massive, powerful blocker with underrated athleticism. He was a big reason for the breakout year true freshman running back Jonathan Taylor had, and he is only getting better.
Jonah Williams, OT, Alabama
Since the first day he stepped on campus in Tuscloosca, Jonah Williams has been a starter at the line's most important position, left tackle. A former five-star recruit, Williams has impressed NFL scouts with his fine footwork, overall length and athleticism. He has a ton of potential, but still must continue to work on his consistency.
Trey Adams, OT, Washington
David Edwards, OT, Wisconsin
Ross Pierschbacher, OG, Alabama
Ed Oliver, DT, Houston
Not only did Tom Herman win a lot of games in his two years at Houston, he landed the school's best recruit in their history, Ed Oliver. Oliver has certainly lived up to the hype, with 39 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks over the past two years. He is incredibly quick with an exceptional motor, who can play on the outside or inside. He has all the tools to be a No. 1 pick possibility come next spring.
Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson
Much like Oliver, Dexter Lawrence is a guy who came into college with plenty of fanfare, and has lived up to the hype. Lawrence had 34 tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss in '17, numbers that don't jump out at you. But, when considering he was joined by three other All-Americans on the same defensive line, you understand why he didn't exactly rack up the stats. The bullish defensive tackle is the type of player that constantly demands protection, and a guy with limitless potential.
Nick Bosa, DE, Ohio State
Nick's brother, Joey, was a star at Ohio State and eventual No. 3 overall selection. The thought is that Nick, who is entering his junior season, is even better. He won Big Ten Defensive Linemen of the Year, blessed with an incredibly quick first step and impressive overall power. He is also long and athletic, who can swat down a ton of balls on the line.
Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson
Rashan Gary, DE, Michigan
Raekwon Davis, DT, Alabama
T.J. Edwards, Wisconsin
Edwards is yet another player who likely would have been a high pick this April, but decided to return to the collegiate ranks. He is an extremely productive player that plays sideline to sideline and can do so many things that help a defense. He is also a great leader and a high character guy that should be a great fit in any locker room he ends up in.
Josh Allen, Kentucky
While one Josh Allen was a high pick this year, another one out of Kentucky should go high in the 2019 cycle. At 6'5", 230 pounds with a skillset that can fit a number of different defensive schemes, Allen is the type of prospect NFL scouts drool over. He was a big reason why Kentucky's defense took a huge step forward this past season.
Anfernee Jennings, Alabama
It's no secret Alabama produces top-notch talent year in, year out, which is especially true at the linebacker spot, where they always seem to have somebody drafted high. That should be Anfernee Jennings in 2019, as the Tide defender is going to be a quality pro. He can play inside or outside, and is a decent pass rusher. If not for a knee injury in the Playoff against Clemson, he would have been a huge factor in 'Bama's National Championship Game victory.
Michael Pinckney, Miami
Cameron Smith, USC
Devin White, LSU
DeAndre Baker, CB, Georgia
While a number of players can be credited for Georgia's dominant defense in '17, a lot of credit can certainly be attributed to Baker, who proved himself as a legit No. 1 cornerback. He is blessed with excellent speed and athleticism, with solid ball skills, picking off three passes last year. He compares favorably to Denzel Ward, who just happened to go No. 4 to Cleveland in 2018.
Greedy Williams, CB, LSU
Not only does he have one of the coolest names in college football, Andraez "Greedy" Williams has big-time talent. The LSU Tiger plays with a ton of intensity, and is constantly disrupting receivers' with his physicality and strength. He is also blessed with good size, standing at 6'2" with long arms. He certainly has the looks of a future star at the next level, coming from a school that has produced quite a few of them.
Chauncey Gardner, S, Florida
After a solid 2016 as a freshman, Chauncey Gardner was superb in 2017, probably Florida's best defender. He proved to be a major help in run support, with 58 tackles on the year, while also showing the ability to be a major factor in coverage. Scouts love his potential, and the overall versatility he possesses.
Sam Beal, CB, Western Michigan
Trayvon Mullen, CB, Clemson

National Lighthouse and Lighthouse Preservation Day is Designated
By: American Lighthouse Foundation Published: August 3, 2013
PRESS RELEASE AUG. 1, 2013
American Lighthouse Council
Contact: Donald J. Terras, President (djterras@grossepointlighthouse.net)
The past and future of lighthouses will be celebrated on August 7, 2013, now federally designated as National Lighthouse and Lighthouse Preservation Day.

The designation came with the unanimous passage of a Senate resolution marking the date as the 224th anniversary of the federal government’s first public works act, the establishment of the Lighthouse Service as President George Washington signed the ninth act passed by the First Congress of the United States.
The resolution was submitted by Sens. Angus S. King Jr. and Susan Collins of Maine, using wording proposed by the American Lighthouse Council. In the House, Rep. Brian Higgins of Buffalo, NY, read the text into the Congressional Record.
Passage of the act is a significant step in an initiative by the lighthouse preservation community to have August 7 designated as an annual commemorative date. While some lighthouse organizations already celebrate National Lighthouse Day, and President Ronald Reagan signed an earlier bill so naming the bicentennial date in 1989, there has been no official recurring designation for the anniversary, a more complex legislative task.
That designation has been sought by the American Lighthouse Council, the movement’s national leadership council and forum. Formerly known as the American Lighthouse Coordinating Committee, the ALC built its resolution on wide community support and earlier calls for the national commemoration.

“As a nation, we all should recognize lighthouses for the prominent part they have played in the growth and expansion of our country. Safeguarding ships and passengers along coasts and inland waterways, into and out of U.S. ports, with a network for distribution of commerce that has had a significant impact on every state in the nation,” said Donald J. Terras, ALC president and the director of the Grosse Point Lighthouse in Illinois.
“Lighthouses have for centuries stood tall and strong as symbols of safety and security upon Maine’s rocky coasts, faithfully guiding seafarers to our shores,” Maine’s senators said in a joint statement. “It is important for us not only to recognize the tremendous role that they play in our maritime commerce, but to also preserve the legacy and history that they embody. We’re immensely pleased that the United States Senate joined us in that endeavor by declaring August 7th of this year as National Lighthouse and Lighthouse Preservation Day.”

Sen. King also expressed interest in working to have the date declared an annual commemoration, which is the main thrust of the ALC initiative.
“Lighthouse groups can celebrate the August 7th anniversary on their own, and some do,” noted Mike Vogel, a former ALC president who heads the Buffalo Lighthouse Association and serves as secretary of the United States Lighthouse Society board of directors. “But the date is important enough for the official annual designation, and the resolution also seeks to honor the decades of hard work that volunteers and organizations have put into preserving these iconic reminders of America’s rich maritime traditions.”
“Lighthouses are among the oldest standing historic structures in the United States and this is an important step in honoring the significant role that they, and the people who served at them, had in the development of our nation,” said Timothy Harrison, publisher of Lighthouse Digest magazine and a long-time proponent of the annual designation. He went on to say, “I believe that a person can learn more about early American history, by studying all phases of lighthouses, than from any other single source.”

Terras, Harrison, Vogel and former Great Lakes Lighthouse Keepers Association president Richard Moehl have been working on the legislative initiative. Adding lighthouse preservation to the designation comes as the Great Lakes group is marking its own 30th anniversary, a milestone that will be reached next year by the United States Lighthouse Society. The text of the resolution also acknowledges even earlier individual lighthouse preservation efforts, and the work of other regional and national groups including the American Lighthouse Foundation and state lighthouse organizations.
Legislative support has been garnered not only from Sens. King and Collins and Rep. Higgins, but also from Illinois Rep. Jan Schakowsky. Supporters of the annual designation hope that interest will continue to build as more members of Congress recognize the importance of lighthouses to their states’ heritage and cultural tourism economies.

WCFE Principal responds to student criticisms
The principal of Waterford College of Further Education has responded to recent criticisms of the school. In a statement, Noreen Reilly appealed to students who left their classrooms in protest against WCFE management last month.
The 400-strong walkout on Thursday, 27th February arose from what students claimed was a lack of communication between them and the college management.
A number of students didn’t receive their Susi grants earlier in the month, due to the college not contacting the grants awarding body in advance of payment date.
Ms Reilly told this newspaper that she “apologies unreservedly” for the delay.
“A system error occurred when a file was being uploaded, this was unnoticed at the time of uploading and resulted in a delay in the payment process for students which we unreservedly regret.
The protest at WCFE on Thursday February 27th.
“WCFE acknowledges the prompt support it received from Susi and appreciates the swift response by Susi which resulted in a payment to students affected on February 28th .
“Human error is unfortunately a feature for everyone and what one of us has not made a mistake?”
She added that the college “appreciates the orderly and courteous manner in which the protest was conducted” and would always respect the rights of its student body to protest.
While the protest’s organisers said the walkout was not targeted at any particular member of management, Ms Reilly was directly addressed by some students’ placards.
One read ‘Give us our canteen, Noreen’ while another said: “Come on Noreen, our bathrooms ain’t clean.”
Some admin staff were let go before Christmas this impacted on students who could not withdraw books. Victoria Hamma, a student council representative on WCFE board of management, who spoke to this newspaper following the protest, said students want the problems at the college resolved for next year’s students.
Included among these is cutbacks to library staff which limited access to books.
“There’s kind of no voice for the students – we’ve been disregarded and maybe the attitude is just not great, just a general slipping of standards,” she said.
“This year it’s one thing after another. There are issues constantly popping up and I suppose sometimes we feel we’re met with a not very helpful response.
“We love it here. The classes are great and the teachers are excellent. It’s just communication and attitude from senior management.”

The Enchantment of Morong
The early morning sunshine flashed on me and I was left stupefied, being chased by the setting where I was situated.

The Stingy News Quarterly (Q3/2013)
New @ StingyInvestor
Fishing for a bargain among small-fry
"Insisting on value helps to keep the prices I pay in line, while keeping an eye on dividend growth points the way to reasonably healthy businesses."
In Paris, value stocks are in bloom
"I have a soft spot for Mr. Tobik's value investing philosophy. But, much like a slice of Roquefort cheese, the tiny firms he favours aren't for everyone. If you're looking for a bit of extra flavour to determine whether these firms might suit your own palate, check out what his site has to offer."
A warning for dividend lovers
"Even a little bad news has the potential to go a long way. Should rising interest rates slow the economy down, it's fairly easy to envision the possibility of much lower stock prices and more than a few dividend cuts along the way."
Negative EV stocks
"Enterprise value has one peculiarity that market capitalization does not. It's possible for a company to have a negative enterprise value. That might sound odd at first but remember the calculation subtracts a firm's cash from the market value of its equity and debt."
Hedge fund math
"The lesson here is to try to minimize your costs and employ sensible tax planning methods. While a 2-per-cent annual fee might not seem like much, it can really add up over time. Throw in a performance fee on top, as most hedge funds do, and the costs skyrocket." [Btw, the calculations included a high-water mark]
How to choose an actively managed fund
"There is a myth going around that most fund managers are bad stock pickers. It is undoubtedly true that some are, but it turns out that most beat their benchmarks over the long term."
A dangerous season for stocks
"But the idea that stocks might also have a natural rhythm is a little more controversial. It's obvious that the market isn't perfectly correlated with the seasons, but research points to a weak relationship between the two that some investors might want to try exploiting."
A recipe for a better dividend portfolio
"As the weather gets colder and I get older, I've begun to enjoy the comfort provided by a warm bowl of soup. There's nothing like a delicious mix of vegetables and chicken to ward off the chill in the air. As I sat down to my first bowl of the season my thoughts turned to how I might pay for my humble repast for years to come. A few good dividend stocks might do the trick."
Price-to-long-term-earnings ratios
"The idea of using long-term earnings when evaluating companies is hardly a new one. Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing and a highly successful money manager in his own right, suggested employing a similar technique when studying individual companies."
The case for low-fee balanced funds
"While balanced funds aren't a cure-all for the ails of market timing, they do represent a useful tool for new investors and for those who get a little jittery in downturns. When shopping for balanced funds it is important to keep a close eye on the fees they charge. All too many funds offered to Canadians charge outrageously high fees."
The Best of Stingy Links
Stingy Links: Academia
Quality Minus Junk
"We define a quality security as one that has characteristics that, all-else-equal, an investor should be willing to pay a higher price for: stocks that are safe, profitable, growing, and well managed. High-quality stocks do have higher prices on average, but not by a very large margin. Perhaps because of this puzzlingly modest impact of quality on price, high-quality stocks have high risk-adjusted returns. Indeed, a quality-minus-junk (QMJ) factor that goes long high-quality stocks and shorts low-quality stocks earns significant risk-adjusted returns in the U.S. and globally across 24 countries. The price of quality - i.e., how much investors pay extra for higher quality stocks - varies over time, reaching a low during the internet bubble. Further, a low price of quality predicts a high future return of QMJ. "
Stingy Links: Behaviour
Why the paradox of choice might be a myth
"It could be one of the most memorable economic studies of the last half century. Researchers presented an array of tasty jams and enticed shoppers to buy a jar. In one version, there were six varieties shown to shoppers. In another, there were 24 jams. The second, larger array attracted more traffic. But the smaller array led to ten times more purchases. Sometimes, they concluded, too many options repel us. The researchers called it "the paradox of choice." You might call it "feeling overwhelmed by options." But some economists are calling it something else: "complete hogwash.""
The tragedy of the commons
"The problem with Hardin's logic was the very first step: the assumption that communally owned land was a free-for-all. It wasn't. The commons were owned by a community. They were managed by a community. These people were neighbours. They lived next door to each other. In many cases, they set their own rules and policed those rules."
Hard-wired for giving
"The Darwinian principle of "survival of the fittest" echoes what many people believe about life: To get ahead, you need to look out for No. 1. A cursory read of evolutionary doctrine suggests that the selfish individuals able to outcompete others for the best mates and the most resources are most likely to pass their genes on to the next generation. Then there is classical economic theory, which holds that given the choice, we will often opt for a personal benefit over a personal loss, even if that loss involves a benefit to someone else. The philosopher and economist John Stuart Mill championed the self-centered theory in the mid-1800s, describing man as a creature that "does that by which he may obtain the greatest amount of necessaries, conveniences and luxuries, with the smallest quantity of labor and physical self-denial." But the latest science shows that, in fact, we are also hard-wired to be generous."
Stingy Links: Brokers
The problem of small accounts
"Good advice costs money. Really good advice costs a lot of money, and is worth it, if you have enough money to spread the cost over. But when you have a small account, you have a problem in getting advice."
Stingy Links: Buffett
The 1975 Buffett memo that saved WaPo's pension
"The letter alone is quite amazing. In it, Buffett identifies the pension problems that others would key in on only a decade or so later. But he also lays out perhaps for the first time -- Buffett was 45 when he wrote it and years away from attaining the investment fame he has today -- his philosophy behind what it takes to be a successful investor. His main pieces of advice: Think like an owner, look for a discount, and be patient."
Berkshire billionaire with more than Gates
"There are probably other Berkshire billionaires to be uncovered. In a June 2010 Fortune magazine article, Buffett said that he knew of two Berkshire shareholders who qualify for the Forbes 400 list of wealthiest Americans, and weren.t on it."
Stingy Links: Economics
Munger on milk
"Mike Munger of Duke University talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about why milk is in the back of the grocery store. Michael Pollan and others argue that milk is in the back so that customers, who often buy milk, will be forced to walk through the entire story and be encouraged by the trek to buy other items. Munger and Roberts argue that competition encourages stores to serve customers and that alternative explanations explain where milk is found in the store."
The disappearance of James Duesenberry
"This is puzzling because his theory of consumer behavior clearly outperforms the alternative theories that displaced it in the 1950's - a striking reversal of the usual pattern in which theories are displaced by alternatives that better explain the evidence. His disappearance from modern economics textbooks is an intriguing cautionary tale in the sociology of knowledge."
The price of Coke
"Prices go up. Occasionally, prices go down. But for 70 years, the price of a bottle of Coca-Cola didn't change. From 1886 until the late 1950s, a bottle of Coke cost a nickel. On today's show, we find out why."
Stingy Links: Fun
The romantic appeal of savers
"The desire to attract a romantic partner often stimulates conspicuous consumption, but we find that people who chronically save are more romantically attractive than people who chronically spend."
Stingy Links: Government
How Detroit went broke
"Detroit is broke, but it didn't have to be. An in-depth Free Press analysis of the city's financial history back to the 1950s shows that its elected officials and others charged with managing its finances repeatedly failed - or refused - to make the tough economic and political decisions that might have saved the city from financial ruin."
Puerto Rico's pension crisis
"Puerto Rico can cover only 11.2 percent of its public pension costs, which is even less than the notoriously underfunded Illinois retirement system"
Feds vs. raisins
"The government allows them to sell one out of every two raisins.The farmers were always supposed to get a percentage of the money raised from the reserve pool raisins, but as profit margins dwindled over the years, so did the return to farmers. The tipping point came in 2003, when farmers received zero dollars in return for the 47 percent of the crop they had surrendered."
Detroit gap and pension math
"Until mid-June, there was one ray of hope in Detroit's gathering storm: For all the city's problems, its pension fund was in pretty good shape. If the city went under, its thousands of retired clerks, police officers, bus drivers and other workers would still be safe. Then came bad news. Seemingly out of nowhere, a $3.5 billion hole appeared in Detroit's pension system, courtesy of calculations by a firm hired by the city's emergency manager."
Did Goldman Sachs overstep?
"A month after ace programmer Sergey Aleynikov left Goldman Sachs, he was arrested. Exactly what he'd done neither the F.B.I., which interrogated him, nor the jury, which convicted him a year later, seemed to understand. But Goldman had accused him of stealing computer code, and the 41-year-old father of three was sentenced to eight years in federal prison. Investigating Aleynikov's case, Michael Lewis holds a second trial."
Stingy Links: Graham
Ben Graham did not give up on value investing
"So, no, Ben Graham did not give up on value investing. One could easily say that he was arguing for value indexing."
Stingy Links: Hallett
Stock pickers' markets a myth
"Whenever the notion of a volatile sideways market bubbles up among portfolio managers, they claim indexing will fail in comparison to active stock selection. In other words, portfolio managers argue that trendless volatility is ripe for active management skill to shine. They call it a stock pickers. market. I call it a myth for retail investors."
Industry risk rating failing investors
"Floating rate note (FRN) funds are gaining in popularity because of their marketed 'promise' to protect capital during periods of rising interest rates. In Canada since the mid-2000s, FRN funds invest mainly in corporate loans bearing a fluctuating interest rate. They appeal to investors who fear rising interest rates - which is most - but offer competitive current yields. Investors seduced by this class of funds should be aware that hedging one risk often heightens exposure to other risks. And standard industry risk ratings fail to communicate this trade-off, which risks significantly understating these funds' true risk exposure."
The weather rock
"When asked for shorter-term predictions, I always respond candidly that I can guess what's going to happen from year to year but I don't know. Nobody does despite the proliferation of forecasts that our industry produces for each coming quarter, six months or year. And stock market returns from the past several years illustrate this nicely."
Stingy Links: Indexing
Confessions of an institutional investor
"I've spent my entire career managing institutional portfolios for pensions, endowments and foundations. A few have used a simple, conventional approach while the majority have used the more complex, alternative model that is so popular these days. My current job is with a large fund that uses a complex approach with a focus on downside volatility and the use of hedge funds and private investments. This experience has cemented my opinion that the simple approach is just plain better."
How low can prices go?
"This is what it has come to in the ETF business after about 15 years in Canada: Companies are now competing with price cuts that amount to mere cents on a modest investment. Some may mock this as a sign the ETF business has run out of ideas to attract new customers, but not people who understand that low costs are one of the foundations of successful investing. Switch funds over a difference of 0.02 of a percentage point on fees? That's pointless. Put the fund with the lowest fees on your short list of places to invest new money? Definitely."
Who should try to beat the market?
"Instead, Zweig thinks Graham would have advised those who have an edge at stock-picking to do so, while recommending those who don't take a passive approach with index funds"
Stingy Links: Management
The case for banning tips
"For over eight years, I was the owner and operator of San Diego's farm-to-table restaurant The Linkery, until we closed it this summer to move to San Francisco. At first, we ran the Linkery like every other restaurant in America, letting tips provide compensation and motivation for our team. In our second year, however, we tired of the tip system, and we eliminated tipping from our restaurant. We instead applied a straight 18% service charge to all dining-in checks, and refused to accept any further payment. We became the first and, for years, the only table-service restaurant in America where you couldn't pay more money than the amount we charged you. You can guess what happened. Our service improved, our revenue went up, and both our business and our employees made more money."
Stingy Links: Markets
More on long-term returns
"Throw bonds into the mix and a 60/40 portfolio will generate just 2.77% real, the fourth lowest result in all the years since 1871. If we assume a 2% inflation rate, then nominal returns will be a little under 5%, compared with the 7.5-8% assumed by pension funds."
Quality could still be underpriced by markets
"The researchers measured value creation with their own metric that they call CFROI, for cash flow return on investment. It is based on cash flows (not earnings, on which accounting manipulations are possible and which are affected by leverage), adjusted for inflation, as a proportion of operating assets - a measure that excludes accounting devices such as depreciation allowances. By taking inflation and different accounting rules out of the equation, the metric allows comparisons across time, countries and industries. It produces some fascinating findings."
Never bubbles today
"A cursory reading of the academic literature on asset prices reveals a litany of puzzles, conundrums, paradoxes, and anomalies. Much of the research on asset prices continues to rely on highly stylized models with identical agents, rational expectations, and optimizing behavior. According to the prevailing view, asset price surges that many would perceive to be bubbles are not really so. Instead, they are seen to reflect the influences of fundamental forces, such as a decline in risk appetite. This reminds me of the White Queen in Through the Looking-Glass, who says jam will be given every other day, but never today. Adherents of this view may admit that bubbles have occurred in the past - like the dot-com boom and bust. And they may even be willing to accept that bubbles are something to worry about in the future - say, in financial supervision. But, in practice, they are never willing to find a bubble in the present. There's always a reason why what looks like a b! ubble, walks like a bubble, and quacks like a bubble is not actually a bubble."
Bullish on cash
"Charles de Vaulx has an investment idea: cash. That may seem an odd choice, since cash earns less than inflation, making it a money-losing proposition. But Mr. de Vaulx, who oversees $17.8 billion as chief investment officer at International Value Advisers in New York, has been boosting his cash position. He is having trouble finding stocks he considers cheap and won't buy overvalued stocks. He considers bonds even more overvalued than stocks, leaving him perched on a lumpy cash pillow."
The long cash squeeze
"But there's a similar emotion that I am seeing and hearing a lot of - the long cash squeeze. That is the feeling of being long cash that you want to deploy as the market rises."
Stingy Links: Munger
Charlie's secret
"Charlie Munger is Warren Buffett's co-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and an investing genius in his own right. He's almost 90, six years older than Buffett, but every bit as sharp and cagey even in his advanced age. And also, he kicks the shit out of all you momentum investor hotshots, what with your risk parities and your quant factors and your newfangled social networking stocks. Munger has run into more burning buildings than the NYFD, dodging scores of other investors fleeing in the opposite direction without even a second's hesitation."
Munger triples publisher's value
"Daily Journal Corp., the California publisher that counts Charles Munger as its chairman, more than tripled in value since 2008 after the company jumped into stocks during the financial crisis."
China roundtable
"China Bilateral Investment with Victor K. Fung, Charles Munger, and Jim Sinegal"
Stingy Links: Retirement
Canadians can afford retirement
"A recent study from Statistics Canada on 'The Adequacy of Household Savings' explicitly takes wealth into consideration. It found that two-thirds of Canadians exceed optimal savings for retirement; for the rest, the 'undersaving is small' at less than $30,000 on average and concentrated among low income earners, who already get substantial pension supplements from government. These arguments are validated by the OECD Report on pensions that found that Canada has one of the lowest rates of elder poverty in the world."

Cohen hauls fortune in unmarked trucks
"There's a reason why Richard B. Cohen escapes attention. The chairman of C&S Wholesale Grocers Inc. works out of a nondescript office park once slated to house a county jail in Keene, New Hampshire, a leafy mountain hamlet 90 miles northwest of Boston. The truckers who deliver goods from the company's 54 distribution centers drive unmarked tractor-trailers. Cohen's last interview was published a decade ago. Even the Keene Chamber of Commerce overlooked C&S as one of the town's largest employers."
Stingy Links: Thrift
The ever increasing value of parsimony
"We're in a bull market for parsimony. Maybe even a parsimony bubble. Parsimony, which is a polite way to talk about penny-pinching, has never been a more valuable habit. Even with investment yields up from their recent lows, I think it is safe to predict that parsimony is well on its way to becoming a high art."
Risk-free returns for everybody
"Investment professionals too often forget that a dollar saved in costs or fees is actually worth more than a dollar earned from investment returns (thanks to taxes). In addition, investing in cost and fee reduction can provide far greater returns per unit of risk than anything else an investment organization can do. In fact, there.s an argument to be made that cost and fee savings represent risk-free returns to investors."
Jon Chevreau talks Findependence
"I thought it would be great to have Jon back. This time we go into a bit more detail about his book."
Time as money
"But their data, primarily drawn from the Consumer Expenditure Survey from 1980 to 2003, provide an alternative explanation for why expenditure falls as people enter old age. To start with, they reveal that spending on non-essential items does not drop. In fact, it increases. But three categories do see declines: food, transportation and .personal care. (which includes clothing)."

"Francis talks value at the Ivey business school"
It doesn't work all the time
"There are valid theories on investing, and they work on average. If you pursue them consistently, you will do well. If you pursue them after failure, you can do better still."
Stingy Links: World
Mind the expectations gap
"So it should come as no surprise that the economic performance of the past few decades has strongly influenced expectations about economic growth. However, when optimistic expectations get detached from reality we risk creating a significant expectations gap - a disconnect between what we take for granted given our recent experiences and what we should anticipate given simple arithmetic."
Lottery raided
"Argentina owes itself more money than ever as President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner squeezes pesos out of public institutions from the pension agency to the lottery, a decade after losing its access to overseas financing."
Slow ideas
"Some innovations spread fast. How do you speed the ones that don't?"
America has changed the way it measures GDP
"The problem is that there is scant information on investment costs. Moreover, the asset - the right to the music, manuscript or TV format - is rarely sold. Rather it is used to create a future stream of products, like books and TV shows. So the BEA must estimate likely future royalty fees, and translate them into today's money to value the investment."
Chinese stocks earn 1% per year
"The MSCI China Index has gained about 14 percent, including dividends, since Tsingtao Brewery Co. (168) became the first mainland company to sell H shares to international investors in Hong Kong in July 1993. That compares with a 452 percent return in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, 322 percent in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and 86 percent from Treasuries. Only the MSCI Japan Index had a weaker performance among the 10 largest markets, losing about 1 percent."
Why Buffett bailed on India
"India has long been viewed as a value investor's dream: rapid growth, 1.2 billion people pining for a taste of globalization, and underdeveloped industries ripe for turnarounds. So it surprised few when the genre's guru, Warren Buffett, placed a bet on the world's ninth-biggest economy. What did come as a surprise, though, was last week's decision by the billionaire's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. to give up on India's insurance market after just two years. Adding to the drama, the withdrawal came the same week India unveiled plans to open the economy as never before to foreign-direct investment."

Consuelo interviews Jason Zweig
"'There's no doubt that the pursuit of yield is bordering on a mania' says Jason Zweig, The Wall Street Journal's Personal Finance Columnist. Don't miss Consuelo's discussion when she asks Zweig about dangerous investor behavior and why he is concerned as investors are abandoning bonds and flocking to dividend-paying stocks."

MORE POLICE GUNS AGAINST WORKERS
Police in Swaziland fired live gunshots and teargas as workers at a factory were locked out following an industrial dispute.
It happened at Juris Manufacturing in Nhlangano on Monday (6 February 2017). The Times of Swaziland, the only independent daily newspaper in the kingdom, reported ‘about 1,600 workers reacted angrily to a rumour that management was planning to purge the staff of troublesome elements’.
The Times reported, ‘Interviewed workers said the violence was triggered when the employees found the main gate to the factory locked when they reported for duty yesterday morning, as management was planning to make the workers enter in different groups. Soon word spread that the new entry arrangement was a plan to get rid of male employees of the company who management believe were sowing discontent among the staff.’
There has been a long-running dispute at the factory about management style and accusations of racism by one boss in particular.
The Times reported, ‘A witness said when the workers were not satisfied with the communication from management, they ganged up and vandalised the factory structure. The situation worsened when police officers tried to control the workers and fired teargas.’
The Swazi Observer, a newspaper in effect owned by King Mswati III who rules Swaziland as sub-Saharan Africa’s last absolute monarch, put the number of workers involved at 2,000.
It reported, ‘The company premises resembled a war zone as the workers and police exchanged missiles.
‘Police fired warning gun shots in the air, hoping to scare off the workers who were on the rampage.’
It added, ‘They fired teargas at the strong crowd of workers who ran helter-skelter in all http://swazimedia.blogspot.com/2016/09/police-fire-rubber-bullets-on-strikers.htmldirections.’
The Observer reported, ‘A thick cloud engulfed the area with some of the employees seen dashing towards the nearby forests as police were hot on their heels to ensure they keep a distance from the company premises.’
It is commonplace in Swaziland for armed police to intervene on behalf of managements during industrial disputes.
In September 2016, media in Swaziland reported women strikers were ambushed by armed police and ‘brutally attacked’ at the Plantation Forest Company, near Pigg’s Peak. Police had previously used rubber bullets and teargas against the strikers and had fired live rounds to disperse a crowd.
In 2013, by the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA) reported that Swaziland was becoming a police and military state.
It said things had become so bad in the kingdom that police were unable to accept that peaceful political and social dissent was a vital element of a healthy democratic process, and should not be viewed as a crime.
These complaints were made by OSISA at an African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR) meeting in The Gambia on 10 April 2013.
OSISA said, ‘There are also reliable reports of a general militarization of the country through the deployment of the Swazi army, police and correctional services to clamp down on any peaceful protest action by labour or civil society organisations ahead of the country’s undemocratic elections.’
OSISA was commenting on the trend in Southern Africa for police and security services to be increasingly violent and abusive of human rights.
In particular, OSISA highlighted how the police continued to clamp down on dissenting voices and the legitimate public activities of opposition political parties prior to, during and after elections.
In a statement OSISA said in February 2013 a battalion of armed police invaded the Our Lady of Assumption Cathedral in Manzini and forced the congregation to vacate the church alleging that the service ‘intended to sabotage the country’s general elections’.
OSISA added, ‘A month later, a heavily armed group of police backed up by the Operational Support Services Unit prevented members of the Trade Union Congress of Swaziland (TUCOSWA) from holding a peaceful commemoration prayer in celebration of the federation’s anniversary. In both instances there was no court order giving the police the legal authority to halt the prayers.’
In 2015, Swaziland was named as one of the ten worst countries for working people in the world, in a report from the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC).

Not Every Moment is Worth the Snapchat
It’s no secret that Snapchat is the most-used form of social media. With it, users are able to send pictures of themselves back and forth with their friends, put text over these pictures to have a conversation or add pictures or videos to their stories to show their followers what they’re doing at any moment during the day.
What if you didn’t spend every waking moment of your life documenting the things you do on Snapchat? Well, VALLEY offers the idea of putting your phone down while at an event, or with others, to enjoy the moment.
Before Snapchat became popular, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook were, and still are, the most-used forms of social media. Twitter has been the ideal platform to share feelings or opinions in an instant, as long as they were under 140 characters. Instagram has been best put to use for sharing pictures from events that people can like and comment on. Facebook has served as a combination of Twitter and Instagram, as users have the ability to post statuses and upload pictures for their friends to see. Snapchat, on the other hand, allows users’ followers to stay up to date with their lives by the second.
What is the purpose of overusing Snapchat, though? Is it to see how much fun others are having just because their stories look “lit”? Or is it to have some sort of face-to-face interaction with others without having to see them in person, or pick up the phone and FaceTime them? The use of texts over pictures and videos that are taken on Snapchat also serve as a substitute to texting in some cases. More often than not, Snapchat is primarily used to watch stories and communicate with friends without having to send texts back and forth.
What if you didn’t use Snapchat to its full advantage, though? What if you put down your phone while at a party, football game, or any other exciting, worthwhile event? Yes, it may be tempting to record every moment of every event to show friends how much fun you’re having, but the most important thing is to actually have fun, and not make everything look like a deceptive type of fun.
Not having to worry about putting everything on social media, especially Snapchat, should be a type of cleanse that everyone can partake in. There is no dire need to put everything on a story for hundreds of people to see because all that matters is that you enjoy the moment and have your own fun.

Inhibition of trypsin expression in Lutzomyia longipalpis using RNAi enhances the survival of Leishmania

Parasites and Vectors
Leishmania parasites must overcome several barriers to achieve transmission by their sand fly vectors. One of the earliest threats is exposure to enzymes during blood meal digestion. Trypsin-like enzymes appear to be detrimental to parasite survival during the very early phase of development as amastigotes transform into promastigote stages. Here, we investigate whether parasites can affect trypsin secretion by the sand fly midgut epithelium and if inhibition of this process is of survival value to the parasites.
Infections of Lutzomyia longipalpis with Leishmania mexicana were studied and these showed that infected sand flies produced less trypsin-like enzyme activity during blood meal digestion when compared to uninfected controls. RNA interference was used to inhibit trypsin 1 gene expression by micro-injection into the thorax, as trypsin 1 is the major blood meal induced trypsin activity in the sand fly midgut. Injection of specific double stranded RNA reduced trypsin 1 expression as assessed by RT-PCR and enzyme assays, and also led to increased numbers of parasites in comparison with mock-injected controls. Injection by itself was observed to have an inhibitory effect on the level of infection, possibly through stimulation of a wound repair or immune response by the sand fly.
Leishmania mexicana was shown to be able to modulate trypsin secretion by Lutzomyia longipalpis to its own advantage, and direct inhibition of trypsin gene expression led to increased parasite numbers in the midguts of infected flies. Successful application of RNA interference methodology to Leishmania-infected sand flies now opens up the use of this technique to study a wide range of sand fly genes and their role in the parasite-vector interaction.

$100-Million Infusion Puts Talent Firm in Position to Deal
November 2nd, 2005 via LA Times
Like any top Hollywood agent, Jeff Berg is always looking to close a deal.
On Tuesday, he sealed one of the biggest of his career by enticing a little-known Connecticut financier to invest about $100 million in Berg’s International Creative Management. Home to such stars as Mel Gibson, Denzel Washington and Jodie Foster, ICM is now armed with the kind of war chest needed for Hollywood’s escalating agency battles.
The agreement with private equity firm Rizvi Traverse Management comes a little more than a year after Berg met founder Suhail Rizvi, 39. Berg will remain in control of the 150-agent firm as chairman and its largest shareholder, with Rizvi given a seat on ICM’s board.
With Rizvi’s money, Berg has the financial wherewithal to buy smaller agencies and make other deals at a time Hollywood companies are under pressure to consolidate. A lethargic movie business, a decline in DVD sales growth and a slowing in TV syndication have increased financial stress. “It moves ICM from being a seller into being a buyer,” said entertainment lawyer Ken Ziffren.
ICM’s move comes as other firms, notably industry leader Creative Artists Agency, have been poaching top agents and clients from competitors. In recent years, ICM lost to competitors such stars as Julia Roberts.
Berg, 58, said the cash infusion was part of larger effort that would allow ICM’s younger generation of agents to gain partnership positions as an incentive to build careers there. The money would also make it easier for the Beverly Hills agency to make outside investments.
“We wanted to keep the company private, but with investors who could give us the resources to stay in the deal,” Berg said in an interview.
Berg said ICM has been romanced by a number of investors eager to stick their toes into the Hollywood game, and has worked with investment bankers over the years, most recently Allen & Co., on potential deals. Merrill Lynch & Co. also worked on the Rizvi deal.
In Rizvi, Berg has what many in Hollywood long for: a rich investor who doesn’t want to hold the reins and who appears likely to resist the temptation to meddle. Rizvi, who is said to shun media attention, declined to be interviewed for this article.
Rizvi grew up in Iowa Falls, Iowa, population 5,000, where he was a competitive tennis player and graduated from high school in 1984. Former classmate Gene Newgaard remembered him as a smart guy from a modest family with a “wide circle of friends.”
After a year studying business at Ellsworth Community College, where his father taught sociology, Rizvi transferred to the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, where he earned an undergraduate business degree in 1988.
Rizvi serves on the board of several apparel and electronic companies. His investment firm has a $250-million capital fund.
ICM’s deal is unusual for the insular world of talent agencies, which typically don’t seek outside financing and are owned by an elite circle of insiders. Berg’s move could portend more interest by private equity firms, which are showing an increasing appetite for entertainment deals.
“I think having competitive agencies out there is good for everybody,” said Jeremy Zimmer, a director at United Talent Agency. “I think the investment community is going to look at the agency business differently.”
Despite its size and successes, ICM has long sought to escape the shadow of Creative Artists Agency and in recent years has had to fight off challenges from William Morris Agency, United Talent Agency and Endeavor.
Like the other major agencies, ICM boasts big-name movie stars, but much of its earnings come from packaging deals for such television shows as “Friends,” “Sex and the City” and “The Simpsons.”
Founded in 1975, ICM was born out of the merger of Creative Management Associates — home to legendary agents Sam Cohn and Sue Mengers — and International Famous Agency.
Berg began work as an agent in 1969 not long after graduating from UC Berkeley. He was named president of ICM in 1980 and chairman in 1985.
Berg has denied reports that he wants out of the business, saying he reinvested in ICM and plans to take advantage of new technologies.
“Now that this deal is done, I want to spend 100% of my time on the agency,” Berg said.

Travis Fimmel reveals how he REALLY feels about racy Calvin Klein ad
por Maximo Fitzmaurice (2020-09-02)
Health Secretary Matt Hancock has been slammed for ‘scaremongering' talk about a second lockdown that risks ‘untold damage' to businesses trying to recover from the first one.
Details of the settlement were sent to Powerbeats 2 owners on Thursday, according to MacRumors. The settlement stems from a lawsuit filed by back in 2017 that called the earphones "shoddy" and accused Apple of falsely advertising the Powerbeats 2 as "built to endure."
While another sharing, a guy name Allen Velton, account manager at Adobe says: I really love that modifiers in having that ability there, and building these audiences out and using UET and things like that so, that's what's really exciting to me.
There are times during the year that advertising media agencies know are a little harder to navigate for some industries. They consult with their clients about changes to certain parts of their strategies, but for the most part, there isn't anything really major that happens. The problem is that 2020 has shaped up to be a year that no one who is in business fully understands what will be happening from one month to another. All of a sudden, businesses are scrambling, and they're hoping their agencies can keep up.
Watch video Morrison's employee calls shopper 'black c***' in angry rant
An estimated 10,000 people attend the demonstration against coronavirus restrictions in Trafalgar Square on Saturday
Walmart was already offering a similar service called "Delivery Unlimited," which allowed an unlimited number of deliveries for a yearly or monthly fee. Members of this service will automatically become Walmart Plus members.
"This is not our first choice - it is our last. But it is the only way to protect against an outcome that defies logic and will hurt, not help, the long-term vibrancy of Australia's news and media sector," Easton said in a statement.
Airport advertising has a positive, compelling environment for advertisers as new creative ideas are appreciated with an opportunity to experience the product and services on offer.
Advertising is a valuable tool for brand promotion. An Ad campaign comprises a series of advertising messages that share or Raiid inform a single idea and theme which make up an integrated marketing communication for the brand.
Ad campaigns appear in various media across a detailed time frame. Deciding the theme is the most critical part while devising an ad campaign. The theme of an advertising campaign sets the tone for the particular advertisements and other forms of marketing communications.
So, the most important part of the over all promotional activity is the theme of the campaign.
Spending Is Up But Conversions Are Down --- You might start seeing the clicks go up, and impressions are showing signs of moving in the right direction, but are you getting the sale/conversion? If not, you need to get into the campaign, and find out what's triggering the clicks tweak as needed.
McDonald's Corp. denied the allegation and defended its history with black franchisees saying: 'These allegations fly in the face of everything we stand for as an organization and as a partner to communities and small business owners around the world'

It is presently challenging to determine the stability of viscoelastic structures since seemingly stable conformations may gradually creep (plastic deformation of a material under stress as a function of time) until their stability is lost. Although a discernable creeping effect does not necessarily lend to instability of viscoelastic solids, researchers are currently limited with numerical simulations to predict the future stability relative to theoretical predictive tools. In a new report on Science Advances, Erez Y. Urbach and Efi Efrati in physics and complex systems at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, described viscoelastic solids through an evolving instantaneous reference metric to measure elastic strains. The transparent and intuitive methods derived in this work for incompressible viscoelastic solids reduced the question of future stability to static calculations alone. The team showed the predictive power of the approach by understanding the subtle mechanisms of delayed instability in thin elastomeric shells in order to demonstrate quantitative agreement with experiments.
Fish, seaweed inspire slippery surfaces for ships
Long-distance cargo ships lose a significant amount of energy due to fluid friction. Looking to the drag reduction mechanisms employed by aquatic life can provide inspiration on how to improve efficiency.

Human white blood cells use molecular paddles to swim
Human white blood cells, known as leukocytes, swim using a newly described mechanism called molecular paddling, researchers report in the September 15th issue of Biophysical Journal. This microswimming mechanism could explain how both immune cells and cancer cells migrate in various fluid-filled niches in the body, for good or for harm.
Theoretically, two layers are better than one for solar-cell efficiency
Solar cells have come a long way, but inexpensive, thin film solar cells are still far behind more expensive, crystalline solar cells in efficiency. Now, a team of researchers suggests that using two thin films of different materials may be the way to go to create affordable, thin film cells with about 34% efficiency.
New neutron source in Canada would spur innovation, medical treatments
Technological progress owes much to our scientific understanding of the materials we use to build the world around us, from longer-lasting cell-phone batteries to new medicines.
Upgraded X-ray laser shows its soft side
The second phase of a major upgrade project is now online at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), the pioneering X-ray free-electron laser at Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. On September 12, scientists ushered an electron beam through a new undulator to produce "soft" X-rays. This follows the upgraded facility's first light in July, produced with another undulator that generates "hard" X-rays.
Single photons from a silicon chip
Quantum technology holds great promise: Just a few years from now, quantum computers are expected to revolutionize database searches, AI systems, and computational simulations. Today already, quantum cryptography can guarantee absolutely secure data transfer, albeit with limitations. The greatest possible compatibility with our current silicon-based electronics will be a key advantage. And that is precisely where physicists from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and TU Dresden have made remarkable progress: The team has designed a silicon-based light source to generate single photons that propagate well in glass fibers.
Scientists develop a technique to dynamically curve a photon jet
Scientists at Tomsk Polytechnic University jointly with international colleagues have found a simple technique to dynamically curve a photonic jet, turning it into a photonic hook. The method was published in Optics Letters. According to the authors, the discovered effect will expand the potential of photonic jets and hooks. For instance, it can be used to manipulate individual particles in biomedical research or in optical lithography to create microcircuits.
Astronomy and Space news
Using the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa, an international team of astronomers has detected a radio relic in a nearby, low-mass, merging galaxy cluster designated A2384. The finding is reported in a research paper published September 6 on the arXiv pre-print repository.
From star to solar system: How protoplanetary rings form in primordial gas clouds
Four-hundred fifty light-years from Earth, a young star is glowing at the center of a system of concentric rings made from gas and dust, and it is producing planets, one for each gap in the ring.
Scientists propose possible mechanisms to explain coronal mini-jets in activated tornado-like prominence
Solar jets are a common phenomenon in the solar atmosphere. They mainly appear as transient collimated plasma ejections. Some studies have shown that jets may play an important role in heating the corona and initiating solar winds.
Elements of surprise: Neutron stars contribute little, but something's making gold, research finds
Neutron star collisions do not create the quantity of chemical elements previously assumed, a new analysis of galaxy evolution finds. The research also reveals that current models can't explain the amount of gold in the cosmos—creating an astronomical mystery. The work has produced a new-look Periodic Table showing the stellar origins of naturally occurring elements from carbon to uranium.
Study shows difficulty in finding evidence of life on Mars
In a little more than a decade, samples of rover-scooped Martian soil will rocket to Earth.

Venus: Could it really harbour life? New study springs a surprise
Earth's sister planet, Venus, has not been regarded as a high priority in the search for life. Its surface temperature of around 450°C is thought to be hostile to even the hardiest of micro-organisms, and its thick, sulfurous and acidic atmosphere has kept the surface almost completely free from visiting spacecraft.
Proposal for observatory to detect gravitational waves
Researchers could detect more mergers of black holes and neutron stars with plans for a new flagship gravitational wave observatory in Europe moving a step closer.
Over the past few decades, research teams worldwide have developed machine learning and deep learning techniques that can achieve human-comparable performance on a variety of tasks. Some of these models were also trained to play renowned board or videogames, such as the Ancient Chinese game Go or Atari arcade games, in order to further assess their capabilities and performance.
A driverless car isn't driven by a person but is controlled by a system of sensors and processors. In many countries, tests of autonomous driving have been happening for years. Germany wants to permit driverless cars across the country by 2022. As the technology develops, researchers are continuing to explore ways to make the algorithms used to make driving decisions better, and roadways safer.

Spotlight On...Shara Ashley Zeiger
Name: Shara Ashley Zeiger
Hometown: Bensalem, PA (right outside of Philly)
Education: Ithaca College, The National Theater Institute at The O'Neill Center, UCB, etc.
Favorite Credits: Awhile back I got play Toinette in a billingual tour of Moliere's Imaginary Invalid (Le Malade Imaginaire) It's one of my favorite plays.
Why theater?: I love the immediacy of theatre. It's a world that gives permission to play and effect people in ways no other medium can. You can make someone laugh whose having a bad day and feel it because they are in the room with you. You can also teach people or create catharsis. It's cool. Theatre is dangerous because it's live so anything can happen, but in that danger there's a sort of magic that happens. I live for that magic.
Tell us about Roughly Speaking: Roughly Speaking is a play with rap based on 200 interviews with the guests of Xavier Mission, most of which are homeless. It takes place over the course of one meal service at the soup kitchen through the eyes of Lightning.bolt (lightning dot bolt) a rapper bound only by his wheel chair and a cast of diverse characters on a not so typical day. It's about a group of people over a period of time stuck in the round robin that we call "the system". There are 9 actors playing 13 characters, and there's a little bit of magical realism that takes place. (there I go again with the magic!) It's funny, it's sad, it's a lot of things.
What inspired you to write Roughly Speaking?: My husband is a volunteer director of Xavier Mission in Chelsea, so I've spent many Sundays there over the past 6 years. At first it was let's find the play about the homeless that exists and we'll put it on stage, but I couldn't find the play. I couldn't find a play that spoke the reality of the homeless in a way that was honest and truthful. I also used to be "salad girl" on the serving line a lot. The woman next to me "dessert girl" one day told me her story. This woman whom I had become friendly with I learned was a guest at the soup kitchen for many years before she became a volunteer. It was eye opening. At first it was about exploring her story. Then the more I became comfortable with the guests at the soup kitchen I decided to explore a lot of stories. Other people helped me interview early on, but I conducted most of them, and eventually I realized I had talked to over 200 people about their struggles, and fears, and hopes, and dreams, and eventually Roughly Speaking basically wrote itself.
What kind of theater speaks to you? What or who inspires you as an artist?: Theatre that makes me feel something. It's not about a specific genre, its about how I feel when I leave. A lot of people inspire me. Lin Manuel Miranda of course. Someone who makes his own work and plays by his own rules. As an actor, I'm constantly in awe of people like Meryl Streep and Daniel Dae-Lewis who physically become their characters. Honestly I'm inspired by kids a lot. My day job I devise new works with kids through different residencies through the Queens Theatre and am always amazed by what they come up with and how they play with abandon.
If you could work with anyone you’ve yet to work with, who would it be?: Do I have to pick just one? There are soooo many.
What show have you recommended to your friends?: I'm a big Third Rail Project nerd and recommend everything they do.
Who would play you in a movie about yourself and what would it be called?: Maybe Julia Luis-Dryfus? We have a similar sensibility. My father in law always calls me "The Unsinkable Shara" so perhaps it would be called that.
If you could go back in time and see any play or musical you missed, what would it be?: Maybe back to 70s and see the original production of Hair? I also learned that my great grandmother traveled with a troup in eastern europe when she was young. Maybe i'd go back and see her perform. That would be cool.
What’s your biggest guilty pleasure?: Everything on TLC.... it happens.
If you weren’t working in theater, you would be _____?: When I was younger I wanted to be an animator for Disney because I wanted to create characters. I feel like I'd be doing something with creating characters with visual art for sure.
What’s up next?: I'm not sure. We'll see :) I've been working on this for so long it's hard to think of a next.

Alexander, Murray reach deal on resuming payments to health insurers
WASHINGTON (AP) — Key senators reached a breakthrough deal Tuesday on resuming federal payments to health insurers that President Donald Trump has blocked. Insurers had warned that unless the money is quickly restored, premiums will go up.
At the White House, the president spoke favorably about the bipartisan compromise, which is still likely to face opposition in Congress.
The agreement would involve a two-year extension of federal payments to insurers that Trump halted last week, said Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn. Unless the money is quickly restored, insurers and others say that will result in higher premiums for people buying individual policies and in some carriers leaving unprofitable markets.
Alexander and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., have been working for weeks on health care legislation, separate from repeated and unsuccessful efforts by GOP leaders to dismantle Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act.
Emerging from a closed-door GOP luncheon on Tuesday, Alexander said, "Senator (Patty) Murray and I have an agreement," and added that Trump has encouraged them and the "president likes this idea."
While the agreement is a breakthrough, they still need to secure the support of fellow Republicans and Democrats. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was noncommittal while Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., welcomed the agreement as a step forward that will provide stability for insurance markets in the short-term.
Murray hailed the bipartisan effort, saying "when Republicans and Democrats take the time ... we can truly get things done" for the American people.
In brief comments at the White House, Trump offered support.
"It is a short-term solution so we don't have this very dangerous little period," the president said.
Murray and Alexander began talks on extending the payments months ago, when Trump was frequently threatening to stop the subsidies. Both had said they were close to a deal, but GOP leaders shut the effort down in September when the Senate revisited the Republican drive to repeal Obama's law. The repeal effort failed, as did an earlier GOP attempt to dismantle the law in July.
Trump's halt of the payments and worries about its impact have galvanized lawmakers in both parties to take action to prevent it.
Even so, strong opposition by some conservatives means the congressional fate of a compromise would be uncertain. For their part, Democrats believe Republicans in control of Washington will be blamed by voters for future health care problems and are reluctant to bend too far toward GOP demands for opening loopholes in Obama's law.
Alexander said Trump has twice in recent days urged him to reach a deal with Murray.
"He says he doesn't want people to be hurt in this interim," said Alexander, a reference to Trump's desire to revisit the effort to scrap Obama's statute next year.
Trump repeated his gloomy assessment of a law that's expanded health coverage to 20 million people and required insurers to cover specified services and limit costs, but has also seen premiums rise and limited competition in some regions.
"Obamacare is virtually dead. At best you could say it's in its final legs. The premiums are going through the roof. The deductibles are so high that people don't get to use it. Obamacare is a disgrace to our nation and we are solving the problem of Obamacare," he told reporters in the Oval Office.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Trump's stoppage of the payments "showed that he's willing to take a wrecking ball to our nation's health care for the sake of politics." He said congressional support for an agreement between Alexander and Murray would show lawmakers have "no intention of going along with President Trump's reckless sabotage of the nation's health care law."
Under Obama's 2010 overhaul, the government must pay insurers for reducing out-of-pocket expenses for lower-earning customers.
A federal judge has ruled that Congress hadn't legally approved the payments, but Obama — and initially Trump — continued them anyway. Trump halted them last week, even though by law insurers must continue reducing costs for lower-income consumers.
Trump and some Republicans consider the payments to be bailouts to carriers. But Democrats and some Republicans say halting them would create chaos in insurance market places.
The so-called cost-sharing reductions cost around $7 billion this year and lower expenses like co-payments and deductibles for more than 6 million people.

Here’s How To Get Your Spotify Wrapped in 2020
iStockphoto, Getty Images
Once again, it's that time! Spotify 2020 Wrapped rolled out for both listeners and artists starting on Tuesday (Dec. 1).
If you listen to music on Spotify, that means you can see exactly what you listened to (and how much, plus much more) over the crazy year that's been 2020. Are you ready to get your Spotify Wrapped stats for the year?
To keep things exciting, the Spotify 2020 Wrapped personalized experience includes a handful of new features to show you how you listened on the ubiquitous audio streaming service over the past 12 months.
For example, as you follow along with the Story of Your 2020 to reveal your Top Song and Top Artist, add-ons like in-app quizzes and podcast listening statistics will appear. There's also "Missed Hits" — a discovery playlist that recommends similar songs you might have glossed over — and something called "On Record," a mixed-media experience that takes your most-listened-to tracks and appends relevant podcast chats to each one.
So how do you get your Spotify Wrapped for 2020? Just click on this link and make sure you're logged in.
As Spotify noted, "eligible users can access their personalized Wrapped experience exclusively in the Spotify mobile app on iOS and Android. As usual, this year's Wrapped is full of insights on the artists, songs, genres and podcasts that defined your listening in 2020 — and it's created from data unique to each and every listener."
In much the same way, recording artists can now access their 2020 Artist Wrapped to get "a personalized summary of your year on Spotify that will tell you how your music connected with fans around the world."
For artists, simply log into your Spotify for Artists page on the web or from a mobile device. Any artist who had more than three listeners before Oct. 31 will have a Wrapped experience waiting for them! (If you're an artist who has yet to claim their Spotify profile, you can do that here.)
So how did you listen on Spotify this year? Were there any surprises waiting for you regarding the artists, songs or genres you listened to the most? What do you think of the new 2020 Wrapped features?
For this writer, one big change from my Spotify 2019 Wrapped to 2020 was that Danzig somehow dropped from No. 1 to No. 4 on my most-listened-to artists. (See my stats below.) I'm sorry, Glenn!

Simply the Best, part two: Sister's
Ok. I asked for reader help in deciding what to enter for Tillerman's competition Simply the Best, but on very short notice. No response so I'm going ahead with my favorite. This post was "simply the best because it featured two exquisite small, light displacement boats, one of which, I feel sure, influenced the other. Both great achievers, both by brilliant designers. Evolution."
On the other hand, I also really liked the post on the Mary Whalen and portside NY because Carolina's doing some good work and the Mary is a sweet thing. Guess it's too late to change as I've already posted my info w/ tillerman and it's almost 10pm. New Years eve and I must go to dogsit and party and cook etc. But I really like the Mary post too. Happy New Year/Solstice etc. to any pagans out there.

While doing my research on the eastern Arctic boats I was reminded of a novel I read two summers ago by author Jane Smiley, The Greenlanders. It's the story of the Norse settlements on Groenland and their demise. An 'epic' novel, it's a gripping story and full of light and darkness. This book is historical fiction, well and meticulously researched, an informed guess about a dimly recorded effort at colonization by the Norse Vikings. It is, to say the least, gripping. Inspired by the Icelandic Sagas (click title bar) , I couldn't put it down. Jane Smiley has done an amazing job of re-creating this world and it's eventual decline. Worth your time, and then some.

Russian involvement in the history and documentation of the kayak is a rich and deep story. Indeed, it is almost certain that the kayak's birthplace was Siberia. The Russians also had a long history in Alaska. establishing trade and missionary outposts and building churches, many of which are still in evidence today such as this one in Juneau. George Dyson has a great overview of the Russian presence in North America in his book Baidarka. A great number of Russian ethnologists were to study kayak and their surrounding culture both in Siberia and North America. Three of the more interesting Russian ethnographers who studied kayak as part of their field work both in Siberia and North America were Waldemar Jochelson, Vladimir Bogorav and Lev Sternberg. All three were members of a revolutionary and terrorist group in Czarist Russia called the Peoples Will. All three were exiled to Siberia where they began to study the indigenous population. Their work was impressive enough to land them places in the Sibirakov Expedition of 1894-95 to the Yakut Provinces of northeastern Siberia. Jochelson and Bogoras also took part in the Jesup North Pacific Expedition (1897-1902),doing fieldwork in Siberia. Each eventually emigrated to the US.
The Jesup expedition was a major anthropological undertaking on both sides of the North Pacific. Sponsored by Morris Jesup, then president of the American Museum of Natural History, and planned and directed by Franz Boaz, and pursuing fieldwork all around the Bering Straits, it goal was to explore the relationship between the Siberian and North American indigenous peoples of this entire region. Many prominent anthropologists of the day were active in the expedition which produced a great number of ethnologies, collected material culture and photographic records.
This was the period of great exploration and study of cultures around the globe. The period from around 1800 to 1920 saw huge efforts to explore, study, catalogue and colonize the rest of world by the Western powers. Fortunately, the rise of the museum and the collections that fill them means we have great access to indigenous skin on frame kayaks of this period. Those of you who would like to dig deeper can find two great jumping off places in the aforementioned annotated bibliography by David Zimmerly and Harvey Golden's Kayak Data page which locates the source of every replica he's built. You might also enjoy this piece by French anthropologist Joelle Robert-Lamblin on the Aluet boats. Concerning the relationship of boat to man he states "in the Aleut oral tradition, the kayak is not an object; it is a living being, male, a hunting partner which attempts to identify itself with its master and would like to share his married life. Their fates, indeed, are bound up together, and their lives end at the same time: they disappear at sea together or, on land, share the same grave."

Brother John the archivist sent me this link and I couldn't resist. These images all come the Alaska Digital Archives and I have taken them without permission. Because permission from large institutions can take a long time, and sometimes, money. I have done my best to credit the photogapher, where it was possible, and the libraries, always. This is an ethical issue, and my brother would probably argue the other side, not to put words into his mouth. If you have an opinion, please weigh in. Otherwise just enjoy these fine photographs of Alaskan Inuit doing their thing. And be sure to visit the archives.

Franz Boas is referred to as the father of American Anthropology. There is a collection of his papers at the American Philosophical Society. My brother, John worked there in the past and so I am familiar with the organization, and have "borrowed" some photographs from their collection. In 1883 he journeyed from Germany to Baffin Island and spent the next year living with and studying the Inuit of Cumberland Bay. The results of his research are published inFranz Boas among the Inuit of Baffin Island, 1883-1884: Journals and Letters. His research includes information on the indigenous boats he found in use by the Baffin Islanders. His studies, quite interestingly in such a harsh environment, led him to believe that cultural factors were dominant over enviromental ones in shaping the be havior of human societies. More kayak gathering is included in another book, The Central Eskimo.

This post will initiate a new series on Quajaj, or Kayak. It is a vast subject and I plan to deal with it in several parts. First I would like to write about the explorers and ethnographers who contributed to our earliest understanding of this boat type and then to contemporary historian/builders who all seem to back their research with empirical investigations into building replicas and/ or innovative craft based on historical models. It's my intention to focus mainly, but not exclusively, on skin on frame boats.
This, as I said, is a large subject and not meant to be exhaustive, but rather an outline to engender personal research. I will leave out many important figures. If you know of such an omission, use the comment box, please. There is a very rich annotated bibliography of Arctic Kayak by David Zimmerly here.
One of the earliest chroniclers of the kayak was none other than Captain James Cook. 'A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean', published in 1785, contains several references to kayak. Nearly a century later, Norwegian Arctic explorer and academic Fridtjof Nansen documented Inuit life extensively, built his own kayak of bamboo based on research in Greenland, and was responsible for some of our earliest photographic records of both Inuit life in general and kayak specifically. Another key figure was photographer/artistEdward S. Curtis who was offered $75000 in 1906 by J.P. Morgan to produce a series on the North American Indian.He did so, with over 40,000 photos and over 10,000 wax cylinder recordings of Native American music and language. Volume 20 of the series has extensive material on kayak, especially from Nunivak Island.
The real giants here, however, are the Inuit people. From Greenland to the Aleutians, these amazing peoples adapted to and succeeded in forging technologies to deal with the vicious Arctic environment. Their achievement is great. Unparalleled in the record of human life on our planet. One elegant issue of their genius are the boats they built in a land of scant resources, using the materials at hand, bone, sinew, fish gut, hides. The kayak and baidarka allowed them to harvest the rich seas around them. Today their existence is imperilled not by the Arctic cold, but by the Arctic warm. They , more than any other group on earth, including the Sami, are threatened by global warming in a direct and tangible way. There are many groups attempting to help the Inuit. Start here. and also go here, and here and here.

The Mary A. Whalen is an oil tanker built by Mathis Shipyard in Camden, NJ in 1938, 172', 613 gross tonnage. She operated out of the port of New York between 1938 and 1994, plying her trade between Maryland and Maine along the Atlantic Seaboard. This Saturday her 70th birthday was celebrated in Red Hook, Brooklyn NY, where she now resides and serves as home and ambassador to the waterfront advocacy group PortSide New York.
Perched beneath the pink beret is Carolina Saliguero, Director of PortSide NewYork. And the waterfront in Red Hook, and New York, could hope for no more potent advocate. You can read her testimony before various governmental councils and committees here.
Mary's galley was warm, cosy and inviting, a refuge from the bitter cold outside. In spite of the weather, about 500 hardy souls showed up for the celebration.
Port Berth, just below the wheelhouse
That's Will Van Dorp, who writes about and photographs New York's harbours and waterborne community on his waterblog tugster.
We knew the party was about to break up when tug Pegasus departed with a crew of revelers who had come over from Manhatten (?).
German transplant to NYC Stefan Falke captured this stunning image of the Mary A Whalen being sandblasted at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. He's an (exceptional) photographer and has a weblog here.
Last Saturday I kidnapped my brother John who lives in Philadelphia and we drove to Red Hook, Brooklyn, NYC, Pier 11 at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. On a whim I'd decided to do a spur of the moment road trip to join in a celebration of a 70th. birthday. The Mary A Whalen was turning 70. John is at present a sort of journeyman archivist and had recently surveyed the collections at the Independence Seaport Museum and was very familiar with the Mathis Shipyard of Camden, NJ, who had built the Mary A.
An interesting crowd had gathered, braving the somewhat raw weather, to join PortSide New York and celebrate this ship and more importantly, the work of founder and director of this not for profit waterfront advocacy organization, Carolina Saliguero.
Carolina is a pugnacious visionary. Or at least that's my impression based on a very brief meeting. But it seems to also be the observation of photographer Stefan Falke, who occasionally meets folks who are " following a goal with amazing determination", as he puts it. He counts Carolina as one of these.
In a way she was born to it. Her uncle is Ross Gannon, co-founder of Gannon Benjamin. Carolina has been involved with boats and the water most of her life, rowing, sailing, paddling Kayak and power boating. So she has an understanding based on experience. She's currently deeply involved in the urban planning issues facing New York City's harbors and waterfront, as well as those of NJ. I will write about those issues and the vision Carolina has for the revitalization of these waterfronts in the future, after I've had a chance to speak to her at length. For now I'd like to leave you with a proclamation read out at the ceremonies by Roberta Weisbord, in that great gusto political convention style, for the Working Harbor Committee:
Proclamation for the Seventieth Birthday of the Mary Whalen
by the Working Harbor Committee
Whereas the Mary Whalen has worked in harbors delivering petroleum products along the coast from Maine to Maryland, including New York harbor during most of her life from 1938 to 1994; and
Whereas the Mary Whalen now looks forward to her new life supporting the educational mission of Portside New York; and
Whereas the mission of the Working Harbor Committee is to educate the public about the working harbor by direct contact with the working harbor by tours on the water and visits to classrooms, by speakers who are themselves working directly in the working harbor; and
Whereas Portside New York is today DEC 6 hosting the 70th birthday of the Mary Whalen that grand dame who spent a lifetime of working the coast and now looks forward to introducing residents of the harbor metropolitan area about the nitty gritty of how the harbor has worked and is working for the betterment of the citizens of the greater New York-New Jersey area, center of the known world;
Now therefore we of the Working Harbor Committee declare rousing good wishes and reach out to all in good fellowship for the birthday and rebirth of the Mary Whalen!
Needless to say it was a great day for John and I, PortSide NY. and the Mary A. Stay tuned as I will dig into the political and planning issues in the near future. Visit the website and Mary A Whalens weblog as well as Carolina's weblog here. You'll find rust and diamonds.

Will Van Dorp is a denizen of the NYC waterfront with a special passion for tugboats. He weblogs about the waterfront surrounding New york City, which he calls the sixth borough, and besides tugs he writes about and photographs all kinds of working watercraft, often with stunning portraits of the industrial maritime. Not strictly limited to these craft he also features working sail from the 19th C. and replicas of even older boats and ships, building projects and restorations. Viewing his work one understands his interest and passion to the point of contagion. If you don't already have an interest in these vessels I challenge you to spend some time with his site and not come away with an altered viewpoint. His blog also has a prodigious number of links to maritime sites. The Mary Whalen (second photo from top) is celebrating her 70th tomorrow! in New York. She is the home of PortSide New York which endeavors to bring about a cross fertilization between landbased New York and the maritime community to the benefit of both. Come to the celebration, RSVP. Come smell the diesel.

Creed O'Hanlon has suggested I rename my weblog "Minimalist Cruising". I realize that has been my recent focus, and will remain so in the forseeable future, but I do have shifting interests and named my weblog to allow myself the freedom to go anywhere I want. To wit, I bought this book on the shrinking world of the tramp frieghter recently, at a library sale I've already mentioned. Titled simply TRAMP, it's now out of print. Published in 1986 by Chronicle Books of San Francisco, it was written by Michael Krieger with photographs by Judy Howard. It's a really beautiful book, large format and crisp photography. My scans don't really do it justice. The book documents 19 boats which are probably no longer with us. Stories, interior shots, crew photos and some documentation take it from a coffee table book to a maritime document and dramatic documentary. Well worth the $1.00 I spent. If you can find it at a used bookstore and the man wants $15.00, give it to him. Second market copies range from $35.00 to over $100. If I'm not mistaken, many of todays cruising sailors gained their sealegs on just these kind of craft. R.Knox-Johnston and Mr. O'Hanlon, himself, come to mind. These boats are certainly an endangered species and their combination of utility and a strange , industrial aesthetic, plus their rugged, ragged, decaying features make them sheer beauty in my eye.

Minimalist Cruising part Seven: John Guzzwell and Trekka
Another J. Laurent Giles design, Trekka, a 20'6" yawl made sailing history in1959 when her owner and builder John Guzzwell returned to her home port in Victoria, British Columbia . Never intending a circumnavigation, John had set out in 1955, at the tender age of 25, to sail to Hawaii. He had built her in the back of a fish and chips shop and she was his first serious attempt at boatbuilding. One thing leads to another and after four years John returned home in 1959 with the dual records of being the first Brit to circumnavigate and in the smallest boat ever, until Serge Testa broke this record in 1987 in his 12' Acrohc (see my series on microcruising). It's an incredible story, beginning with John approaching legendary designer Jack Laurent Giles about the a design for a small cruising boat along the lines of Sopranino. Imagine his surprise at Laurent Giles accepting the project and then delivering the detailed drawings for the meagre sum of 50 pounds! John had several adventures along the way, including a nearly disastrous episode with acclaimed cruising sailors Myles and Beryl Smeeton. That story about the pitchpoling, dismasting and near loss of the Smeeton's 46' ketch Tzu Hang (and, very nearly, Beryl) is well told both in the Smeeton's book 'Once Is Enough' and John's own 'Trekka Around The World'.
Upon his return to Victoria John began in earnest his pursuit of what would become his lifelong career as a professional boatbuilder. His boatbuilding work was interspersed with several voyages over the years. He's built some very large boats, including the three masted 126' schooner Tole Mour, a boat built to provide health care to the Marshall Islands, but still seems to prefer smaller. In 1997 he launched a cold molded 30' racing craft Endangered Species, modeled on the current open 60's of that day, and raced her in the 1998 and 2002 Transpacs.In 1993 he built a slightly enlarged version of Trekka, named Dolly. He currently lives near Poulsbo WA and teaches boatbuilding at Seattle's Center for Wooden Boats. There is a great interview with him on the Furled Sails site.
John Guzzwell was born to this life. His ancestor were Jersey near the coast of France. At the age of three his family cruised from England to South Africa aboard his father's 52' ketch Our Boy. During WWII Jersey was occupied by the Germans and John and his family spent some of the war in a German interment camp. Repatriated after the war to Jersey. John apprenticed as a joiner for five years and emigrated to British Columbia at age 25 where his sailing adventures really began. There's more information at the sites: The Circumnavigators by Don Holm ,Woodenboat , Transpac98 and John Guzzwell's website. He is truly an icon of minimalist cruising in particular and sailing in general. I'll leave you with a quote,
"So beware, dear reader. The sea has an enchantment that may captivate you and make you a misfit on land. It is perhaps the last place on the planet which remains unspoiled, with its moods and behaviors unchanged since time began. Like a moth to the flame, the sea has an attraction that defies explanation and those of us who fall under her spell are forever changed."

Game on. Obama’s Birth Certificate vs Current Court Proceedings. Last inning, bottom of the ninth. Only two batters to go as Andy Martin has struck out. Berg and Donofrio are up next at SCOTUS.
Hawaii Circuit Court Judge Bert Ayabe has dismissed Internet author Andy Martin’s lawsuit seeking to obtain a copy of President-elect Barack Obama’s Hawai’i birth certificate. The judge upheld arguments from Gov. Linda Lingle’s administration that Martin — a political opponent of Obama — had no standing under state law to obtain a copy of the document.
Martin “does not have a direct and tangible interest in the vital statistic records being sought, namely the birth certificate of President Obama,” Ayabe wrote.
He cited Martin’s “lack of standing” and also ruled that Martin never legally served Lingle and state Health Department director Dr. Chiyome Fukino with a copy of the legal complaint. What a faux pau. http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/20081121/NEWS20/811210355/1001/localnewsfront
Andy Martin says, ‘Our great national tantrum is over; our great national nightmare is just beginning.’His columns are also posted at www.ContrarianCommentary.blogspot.com; www.contrariancommentary.wordpress.com. Martin is the author of Obama: The Man Behind The Mask, published in July 2008, see www.OrangeStatePress.com. Martin goes further to say “it’s time for the Republican Party to slim down its playbook, and concentrate on the vital issues where Barack Obama is likely to stumble over the next two years. Martin calls for al “all-American Republican Party” for “all-Americans” with every American welcome and “no outcasts.”
Berg and Donofrio are up next to bat for the request for Obama’s long form, vaulted birth certificate and question of eligibility. Berg v Obama and Donofrio v Wells are floating around SCOTUS. A Dec 1 deadline for Berg and a Dec 5 conference scheduled for the Donofrio case. For a background on these cases visit https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2008/11/20/obamas-birth-certificate-and-citizenship-goes-to-conference-at-supreme-court/ .
The pitch hitter in this Obamagate game of deception may be former Presidential Candidate, Alan Keyes who joined the fight to release President-elect Barack Obama’s birth certificate this week, suing to keep the California Electoral College from meeting. http://www.thebulletin.us/site/index.cfm?newsid=20202575&BRD=2737&PAG=461&dept_id=576361&rfi=8 The writ of mandamus can be found here http://www.tomshakely.com/bulletin/final_writ_keyes_v_bowen.pdf. What is Keyes motive for the filing? Truth or Revenge? Is Keyes a sore loser remembering that in 2004, he lost his bid for a U.S. Senate seat in Illinois to none other than Barack Obama?
To date the evidence as provided by Obama seems compelling. That— the President-Elect was born in the Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children, in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Aug. 4, 1961- Hawaii was a state at that time. Sen. Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, who died in 1995, was an American by birth. She was from Wichita, Kansas. His [sic- alleged] dad, Barack Obama, Sr., was from Kenya. His parents divorced in 1964. In 1967, Obama moved to Indonesia with his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro and his mother. In 1971, he returned to Hawaii, to live with his grandparents, Madelyn and Stanley Dunham, who raised him. Obama’s father died in 1982. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama#Early_life_and_career Sounds all good and true doesn’t it? Oops- we we can’t verify where he was born exactly, nor his citizenship because he will not produce his birth certificate and is wasting the courts precious time by not doing so.
Not being able to verify his citizenship means we can not verify his qualification of eligibility for President. Article II, Section 1 of The U.S. Constitution- “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President…” Today’s post from Citizen Wells “Electoral College facts, Obama not eligible, Electors must vote per US Constitution, Faithless Electors, Federal Election Laws, State Laws, Elector pledges, States and Electors must uphold US Constitution” http://citizenwells.wordpress.com/2008/11/21/electoral-college-facts-obama-not-eligible-electors-must-vote-per-us-constitution-faithless-electors-federal-election-laws-state-laws-elector-pledges-states-and-electors-must-uphold-us-constitu/ is an awesome display of what not producing a birth certificate, and verifying your eligibility can cause.
Martin may have struck out after a fairly valiant effort, but the game is on.
Obama’s Birth Certificate and Citizenship Goes to Conference at Supreme Court

Justice is alive and well in this country. Leo Donofrio’s case that has been submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court regarding Obama’s citizenship has drawn the attention of Justice Clarence Thomas. The case has been “distributed for conference,” on December 5, 2008.
Donofrio argues that it is Secretary of State Wells of New Jersey job to verify eligibility for elections and uphold constitutional integrity. “She accepted the certifications of nomination from both major parties under the assumption that both candidate parties were eligible, but she did nothing to verify such eligibility.” The entire brief is good reading and dispels conspiracy theory and can be found at http://www.blogtext.org/userFiles/naturalborncitizen/ScotusStayAppBrief.doc
The United States Supreme Court scheduled the case – Leo C. Donofrio v. Nina Mitchell Wells, Secretary of State of the State of New Jersey – US Supreme Court Docket No. 08A407 – for a conference of the nine Justices. If four of the nine Justices vote to hear the case in full review, oral argument may be ordered. The conference is scheduled for December 5, 2008, ten days before the meeting of the Electoral College. The case originally sought, pre-election, to have the names of Barack Obama, John McCain, and Roger Calero removed from New Jersey ballots, and for a stay of the “national election” pending Supreme Court review of whether those candidates were eligible under the Constitution as natural born Citizens, as is required by Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution of the United States. On Nov. 19, the case was docketed for full conference of all nine Justices and scheduled for December 5, 2008 http://www.blogtext.org/naturalborncitizen/
Republican Candidate John McCain was born in Panama, Roger Calero, Socialist Worker Party was born in Nicaragua, and Barack Obama has not provided proof to a court where he was born.
Phil Berg is a lawyer who has raised issue specifically with Obama’s birth certificate not being authentic and has filed numerous court proceedings in an effort to force Obama to produced it. http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-paedce/case_no-2:2008cv04083/case_id-281573/ Taking his plea to the U.S. Supreme Court, a writ of certiorari was pending with a response due by December 1, 2008. A response to the court was issued by the FEC- Federal Elections Committee http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_R-l1iejogZw/SSR7kdEbCqI/AAAAAAAABmg/TD8yPv-ltZk/s1600-h/Berg+v+Obama+–+Waiver.bmp where the docket shows that the respondents have waived their right to respond, filed November 18, 2008. Ummm, so where is the response from the DNC and Obama himself who are also named in the suit? Should there even be a separate response? The writ extends to December 1, 2008 for a response and in the Berg case the FEC filed for relief separately and I believe separate responses are warranted in this case as well.
The FEC in Berg v Obama is outline here http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-paedce/case_no-2:2008cv04083/case_id-281573/ specifically, The FEC claims it has no oversight in the Constitution’s Presidential Election Qualifications clause. http://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/pennsylvania/paedce/2:2008cv04083/281573/28/ and the judge agreed dismissing the motion specifically against the FEC and all others.
http://www.americasright.com/2008/11/us-supreme-court-decisions-on-berg.html Outlines a look at possible collusion on the part of the FEC, DNC, and Obama, and notes specifically “FEC’s attorney, Gregory Garre, is with the Solicitor General’s office, and does not represent Obama or the DNC. While attorneys acting on behalf of a group of defendants or respondents is not necessarily rare, the difference here is the involvement of the Solicitor General’s office, a federal office.” How the Court and Berg interpret this, will more than likely impact the outcome of the case. I think it quite comical that the FEC distances itself from candidates at every turn unless there are Republican dollars at stake in choosing only to review McCain’s campaign finances, and not Obama’s .
Obama hired the Washington Law Firm Sandler, Reiff & Young to represent him against Berg. One of the lawyers filing the motion to dismiss was Joe Sandler who is also a legal representative for CAIR- Council for American Islamic Relations with reported terrorist ties. CAIR is suspect at best, for being funded by terrorists of Hamas thru the Holy Land Foundation. https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2008/10/20/sandler-vs-berg-for-obama-citizenship/ Obama in the long run may have rely on his newly appointed Attorney General, Eric Holder who is familiar with controversy from serving in the Clinton Administration. http://cbs2chicago.com/topstories/obama.eric.holder.2.867982.html
Where is the MSM, Main Stream Media in all of this? ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, and CNN, are all ignoring the Supreme Court cases that challenge Obama’s eligibility and instead are focusing on his future cabinet picks assuming he is meets the qualifications, and focusing on Internet messages from Al Qaeda’s number-two commander, Ayman al–Zawahri that call Obama and Secretaries of State Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, “house negroes.” Venomous words to be sure, but it what would be equally venomous is to have a President in office that is not qualified based on his citizenship.
Obama can not continue to hide behind a COLB, Certification of Live Birth that remains unverifiable. http://fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate or can he, if he pleads the fifth? https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2008/11/12/obama-could-plead-the-5th-amendment-on-citizenship/
God Bless America.

The anti-Obama rumor mongering hasn’t seemed to dissipate but is flying along under most peoples radar. I keep seeing more and more people blogging about Berg v Obama, Martin v Hawaii and Donofrio v Wells with statements like, I didn’t know about this until now, and why isn’t this in the mainstream media?
The reason is simple – there is no proof to rumors. Circumstantial evidence does not make it fact although one of my lawyer friends could certainly come up with cases where people have been convicted only on circumstantial evidence. We have to cite the source in lawsuits and understand the rationale and motives behind those that may seek to discrete Obama. At the same time, we must acknowledge that it imperative to understand that we all have a vested interest in making sure that we have a President who meets all of the qualifications set forth in the Constitution- including the natural born citizen clause.
I believe in God even tho I have never seen him/her/it. I believe Obama’s birth certificate exists, even though I have never seen it either. But God is an entity, Obama a mere mortal, fallible like all men. His fallibility should not come at the expense of America in not producing a verifiable, vaulted copy of his birth certificate.
The amount of circumstantial evidence has begun to add up and many more “regular” citizens who do not make a habit of wearing tin foil on there head are beginning to look again at Obama’s omissions. From the popular No Quarter http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/10/13/updated-a-dangerous-mixture-of-lies-and-omissions-obama-ayers-wright-and-farrakhan/ to a whole list of books available at http://shop.wnd.com/store/subdept.asp?SUBDEPARTMENT_ID=131 we begin to ascertain that it is more than the fringe who have misgivings.
Reviewing a lot of the rumors that began to surface in August 2008, is http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/obama-did-obama-actually-register-for-selective-service/ and months later we still have unanswered questions that keep coming up. A question arose about Obama’s registration with the Selective Service and that he may not have done so as required by law. As Debbie Schlussel points out, “The official campaign for President may be over. But Barack Obama’s Selective Service registration card and accompanying documents show that questions about him are not only NOT over, but if the signature on the document is in fact his, our next Commander-in-Chief may have committed a federal crime in 2008, well within the statute of limitations on the matter. If it is not his, then it’s proof positive that our next Commander-in-Chief never registered with the Selective Service as required by law. http://www.debbieschlussel.com/archives/2008/11/exclusive_did_n.html She refers to a copy of his Registration that seems to have discrepancies. Obama’s COLB has discrepancies and that leads us to ask for clarification once again from Obama.
There are 29 subjects of controversy that Obama identifies on his website. http://fightthesmears.com/ TWENTY-NINE times he has felt compelled to address issues like Reverend Wright, William Ayers, Rashid Khalidi, his COLB, and to defend himself. There is no mention regarding his Selective Service issues.
Being so entrenched to the road to the White House and secure that all of the smears are false, Obama has apparently decided not to attend his grandmother’s funeral memorial service in Hawaii. http://theindependentview.com/?p=353 “Hawaii residents are invited to a tribute service tomorrow for Madelyn Payne Dunham, President-elect Barack Obama’s grandmother. Dunham, 86, died two nights before her grandson became the first African-American and the first Hawaii-born person elected President.” http://www.starbulletin.com/news/20081113_Dunham_service_set_for_tomorrow.html
I find it an odd show of respect for the woman who helped raise him, to not bother with her funeral. I recall his statements regarding Reverend Wright , “I can no more disown him,” he told an audience in Philadelphia of his former pastor, “than I can my white grandmother — a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.” http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081021/ap_on_el_pr/obama_grandmother
Obama probably doesn’t have a tin foil hat, I don’t and most people do not. People who have and wear tin foil hats may look stupid outside of Halloween, but I doubt they are. http://tinfoilhats.newsvine.com/ has some interesting insights on recent issues, rumors, and topics in the news.
Hats off to those seeking truth, justice and liberty for all; even if it is under an Obama administration.
Obama’s Lawyers and Law Battles for Birth Certificate and Eligibility

I think Barry and Michele Obama would be great dinner guests. Our kids could play together and the dogs could sniff each other while we talk of being great citizens over a glass of wine, except that it of course will never happen. Whatever questions we might ask, surely they would be answered in the same scripted response we have come to expect from The Obama’s. Perhaps statements like, “I plead the fifth on that issue,” or, “I’ll have to talk to my attorney” would be dominate the conversation while we ate sweet potato pie.
Having been served with numerous lawsuits regarding his citizenship I find it the epitome of irony that neither Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama https://www.iardc.org/ldetail.asp?id=514560103 nor her husband, Barry Baraq Mohammad Hussein Dunham Sotero Obama, Jr https://www.iardc.org/ldetail.asp?id=318304718 are currently authorized to practice law. Obama worked nine years at Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland, a 12-lawyer firm that specialized in helping develop low-income housing. The firm’s top partner, Allison S. Davis, was, and is, a member of the Chicago Plan Commission, appointed by Mayor Daley. Davis was also a friend of Tony Rezko. Rezko’s who was found guilty on 16/24 felony counts was denied his appeal for a new trial on Nov. 13, 2008. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chicago/chi-rezko-trial-blotternov13,0,6810451.story
“The senator, relatively inexperienced in this kind of work, was assigned to tasks appropriate for a junior lawyer,” according to an e-mail from Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs. “These tasks would have included reviewing documents, collecting corporate organizational documents, and drafting corporate resolutions.” http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/353829,CST-NWS-rez23.article I suppose that after nine years of secretarial type duties one would certainly be frustrated and pursue a political career instead.
With cases pending in the Courts seeking to certify his eligibility, they have hired the Washington Law Firm Sandler, Reiff & Young. One of the lawyers filing motions to dismiss was Joe Sandler, formerly the in-house council at DNC. Maybe his name rings a bell? Joe Sandler, esq., is also a legal representative for CAIR- Council for American Islamic Relations. https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2008/10/20/sandler-vs-berg-for-obama-citizenship/
Case after case has been dismissed in all jurisdictions against Obama, with few exceptions. Most notably, Berg vs Obama and Martin vs Hawaii. The lesser known case is Donofrio vs Nina Mitchell Wells, New Jersey Secretary of State asking her to certify Obama’s eligibility on the ballot. http://origin.www.supremecourtus.gov/docket/08a407.htm
No. 08A407
Leo C. Donofrio, Applicant
Nina Mitchell Wells, New Jersey Secretary of State
Docketed:
Lower Ct: Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division
Case Nos.: (AM-0153-08T2application)
~~~Date~~~ ~~~~~~~Proceedings and Orders~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nov 3 2008 Application (08A407) for stay pending the filing and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, submitted to Justice Souter.
Nov 6 2008 Application (08A407) denied by Justice Souter.
Donofrio claims that SCOTUS clerk, Danny Bickell did not present his Stay Application to Justice Thomas, when it appears that he had every right to do so –“Rule 22(1) clearly states that any application addressed to a particular Justice will be filed with the clerk and transmitted promptly to the Justice in question if that Justice has authority to grant the relief being sought,” Donofrio said. “Now, while I didn’t expect Justice Souter to grant the application, Rule 22(4) states that denial of a stay allows for resubmission to a Justice of your choice, and I was ready to resubmit it to Justice Thomas.” http://www.americasright.com/2008/11/second-eligibility-related-action.html Donofrio’s case history and updates can be found at Donofrio’s blog http://www.blogtext.org/naturalborncitizen/topic/8700.html
Lest Attorney Andy Martin be out of the lime light, instead of focusing his energy on his own case and search for Obama’s vaulted birth certificate, has written a letter to the PA Supreme Court Disciplinary Board to to investigate the conduct of attorney Philip J. Berg. http://contrariancommentary.wordpress.com/2008/11/12/anti-obama-attorney-philip-j-berg-faces-disciplinary-complaint/ “There have been a lot of questions, and criticism, swirling around Mr. Berg’s behavior,” Martin stated. So much for mutual respect.
Berg sought to disbar and remove Justices”… on the 1st anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Bush vs. Gore which “anointed” Bush as President writes to three (3) U.S. Supreme Court Justices, Justices O’Connor, Scalia and Thomas requesting that they agree to “Voluntary Disbarment” for failing to “recuse” themselves in said case and other violations. http://www.votermarch.org/BergPet.htm
Another lawsuits is rumored from Vice presidential Candidate Wiley S. Drake Sr. asking to de-certify Barack Obama because he has refused to release proof of being a Natural Born Citizen, thereby disqualifying Obama in his bid for the Office http://obambi.wordpress.com/2008/11/03/vice-presidential-candidate-wiley-s-drake-sr-to-file-in-court-asking-to-de-certify-barack-obama-because-he-has-refused-to-release-proof-of-being-a-natural-born-citizen-thereby-disqualifying-obama-i/ but I have yet to see any actual legal proceeding on the net.
I am proud of these Americans who continue to question President Elect Obama’s citizenship and protect our Constitution. It reminds me of Michelle Obama proclaiming that for “the first time” in her adult life,” she was proud of America, as she spoke during a rally to support her husband’s presidential bid. http://www.bostonherald.com/news/national/politics/2008/view.bg? and http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02/20/maybe-they-dont-want-to-change/?ex=1361250000&en=9d564dff2b7ab130&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss Stan Hewitts Town Hall has the audio here http://hughhewitt.townhall.com/MediaPlayer/AudioPlayer.aspx?ContentGuid=9e3a08aa-ad84-46cf-8492-6aff289bca42
How proud both Michelle and Barry as former attorney’s must be, to be so entrenched in Court proceedings through out the land. In her thesis she wrote how she is determined to “utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit [the black] community first and foremost.” http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/221458,CST-NWS-mich21.article.
Her thesis “Princeton Educated Blacks and The Black Community” is available courtesy of http://obamaprincetonthesis.wordpress.com/
It’s too bad the Barack family is not using all of its resources to give benefit to all Americans. Obama himself could end the charades in showing us his official, vaulted, original birth certificate before the family, Obama’s mother-in-law, and the new dog move into the White House and he takes the Oath of Office. Obama is not going to show anyone anything unless a court of law demands it and as I mentioned in a previous post, he can just take the fifth and not incriminate himself. https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2008/11/12/obama-could-plead-the-5th-amendment-on-citizenship/
I wonder if any one will question the citizenship of the dog?
Lest anyone need reminding, “We are a government of the people, by the people, for the people.” Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address, 1863.
Sandler vs Berg for Obama Citizenship

Again, here is the Berg vs Obama commentary on why there is a lawsuit pending.
Summarily, it is because there are about 56 questions that Obama will not answer in regard to his citizenship, nor has he provided a birth certificate, only a birth record.
Obama has hired the Washington Law Firm Sandler, Reiff & Young. One of the lawyers filing the motion to dismiss was Joe Sandler sandler@sandlerreiff.com . Maybe his name rings a bell? Think hard, you can do it…. Joe Sandler is also a legal representative for CAIR- Council for American Islamic Relations with reported terrorist ties. CAIR is suspect at best, for being funded by terrorists of Hamas thru the Holy Land Foundation. Got to just love who Obama associates with.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) states that CAIR’s credibility as a community relations agency promoting “justice and mutual understanding” is tainted because it is a spin-off of the Islamic Association for Palestine, which is a front group for Hamas and associated with Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood.[36] Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby criticized CAIR in a 2007 article, calling them an Islamist group. He writes that CAIR Chairman Emeritus Omar Ahmad wishes Islam to reign supreme in America, and contrasts such statements with the words of those he calls Islamic moderates.[37] Investor’s Business Daily condemned CAIR as “the PR machine of militant Islam” after CAIR “dispatched its henchmen” to “try to shout the reformers down” at the first Secular Islam Summit.[38http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_on_American-Islamic_Relations]
Joe Sandler, who used to be the in-house counsel at the DNC, now represents the committee from his private firm. He has also advised MoveOn.org and the New York Democratic Party. Remember not so long ago there were some issues on whether or not Florida’s and Michigan’s delegates were going to be counted? None other than Joe Sandler, attorney for the DNC, told the three-judge panel that the committee is a private entity and “is actually exercising its own constitutional right by not seating delegates.” “The point we were trying to make in court today is that it’s up to the parties themselves to determine the best means of selecting delegates to the convention, and it’s not really a matter for a court to resolve,” he told reporters later. REALLY- The DNC is a private entity? Bet the people who donate to it might have something to say about that. Got to just love who Obama associates with. In Mr. Sandler’s defense of representing Obama, the lawsuit names not only Obama, but the DNC.
CAIR has also been critical of a number of U.S. criminal prosecutions, arguing, for example in one of many cases, that Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, deemed the ringleader of the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, and convicted of conspiring to blow up the Lincoln Tunnel and other New York City landmarks, did not receive a fair trial.[16]
Ibrahim Hooper, communications director of CAIR, refuses to outright condemn Osama bin Laden. “We condemn terrorism, we condemn the attack on the buildings,” Hooper said. But why not condemn bin Laden by name, especially after President Bush has now stated that he was clearly responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks? http://archive.salon.com/news/feature/2001/09/26/muslims/
Obama deserves legal representation. Obama deserves Joe Sandler. America does not deserve Obama and his associates to run the country.
If the judge dismisses the Berg vs Obama suit, it will go on to appeal which will go on long after the election. Even better is, if the judge grants and allows the case to go forward thereby at the very least acknowledging some authenticity to Mr. Berg’s request that Obama answer 56 little questions about his citizenship.

Massachusetts Gazette and Boston Weekly News-Letter (April 6, 1770).
“Seeds.”
It was a sign of spring. Just as advertisements for almanacs told readers of colonial newspapers that fall had arrived and the new year was coming, advertisements for seeds signified that winter was coming to an end and spring would soon be upon them. In the newspapers published in Boston in the late 1760s and early 1770s, this meant a dramatic increase in female entrepreneurs among those who placed advertisements. Women who sold goods or provided services appeared only sporadically among newspaper notices throughout the rest of the year, but turned out in much greater numbers to peddle seeds in the spring.
Although printers and compositors did not usually organize or classify advertisements according to their purpose in eighteenth-century newspapers, they did tend to group together notices placed by women selling seeds. Consider the last column of the final page of the April 6, 1770, edition of the Massachusetts Gazette and Boston Weekly News-Letter. Although it concluded with a legal notice, advertisements for seeds sold by women comprised the rest of the column. Bethiah Oliver hawked seeds available at her shop “opposite the Rev. Dr. Sewall’s Meeting House.” The appropriately named Elizabeth Greenleaf advised prospective customers to visit her shop “at the End of Union-Street, over-against the BLUE-BALL.”: Elizabeth Clark and Elizabeth Nowell sold seeds at their shop “six Doors to the Southward of the Mill-Bridge.” Susanna Renken also carried seeds at her shop “In Fore Street, near the Draw-Bridge.” She was the only member of this sorority who advertised other wares, declaring that she stocked “all sorts of English Goods, imported before the Non-importation Agreement took Place.” She was also the only one who sometimes advertised at other times during the year. Did the others sell only seeds and operate seasonal businesses? Or did they also carry other wares but refrain from advertising?
Spring planting was a ritual for colonists, including women who kept gardens to help feed their families. Placing advertisements about seeds for growing peas, beans, onions, turnips, lettuce, and other produce was a ritual for the female seed sellers of Boston. Encountering those advertisements in the city’s newspapers became one or many markers of the passage of time and the progression of the seasons for readers of those newspapers. The news changed from year to year, but advertisements for seeds in the spring was a constant feature of the Massachusetts Gazette and Boston Weekly News-Letter and other newspaper.

Sea code of conduct ready this yr – Yasay
Delizo, Michael Joe T.
Classification code
MT20170112_A1
The long-delayed framework for the Code of Conduct (COC) in the South China Sea may be finally completed by the middle of the year, Foreign Secretary Perfecto Yasay Jr. said on Wednesday. The Cabinet official said that the Philippines, as chairman of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) this year, will intensify efforts to fast-track the discussions on the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) and eventually complete the COC. The Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration last year nullified China’s excessive claims in the contested waters as it upheld the Philippines’ rights to areas within its 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone, under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

Best Sig Sauer Concealed Carry Pistols
June 3, 2019 7:00:00 AM PDT
Which Sig Sauer Concealed Carry Guns To Look For
There's no doubt that Sig Sauer makes some of the finest pistols available, but Sig Sauer concealed carry is not necessarily an easy proposition with some of their larger offerings. Let's face it - not everyone wants to conceal a service pistol everyday.
Granted...some people do.
For the person who wants to carry a Sig, there are some models better suited to daily carry than others. Here are the concealed carry Sig guns to look for...
P320 Subcompact
Sig Sauer is known for being more metal than Scandinavia, but that hasn't stopped them from taking to poly striker pistols like a duck to water - and the P320 subcompact is their latest and greatest example of the breed.
The P320, like the P250 series it succeeded, was designed with an eye on offering the customer the size of poly striker Sig they wanted. The P320 series also is fully modular, as the trigger group can be swapped between frame, slide and barrels. The smallest configuration is the P320 Subcompact.
This iteration of the P320 - which was recently announced as the next handgun of the US Army - holds 12 rounds of 9mm, stands less than 5 inches tall, just under 7 inches long and 1.3 inches wide, with a 6.5-lb trigger pull. Just like the P250 subcompact before it, it's wildly popular for concealed carry, is widely distributed so you won't have too many problems finding it in stores, and it has a price that's very nice - MSRP is just under $600, so you shouldn't have too many problems finding one for around $500.
Check out the best concealed carry holsters for P320 Subcompact pistols.
For the "it's a pocket gun or nothing" crowd, the Sig P238 is one of the most highly-regarded mouse guns on the market. If you like the Colt Mustang, you'll love it - it's a very similar design, in that it's a micro-size 1911 design in .380. It has a thumb safety for cocked and locked carry, though there's no grip safety to worry about.
The P238 carries 6 rounds, though can carry 7 with an extended magazine, and is small enough to fit in a pocket or disappear in a belt holster. Fans of the 1911 will find the controls familiar, and anyone will enjoy the shooting dynamics as it's one of the easiest shooting .380 pocket guns out there.
However, the Sig premium that you've heard of starts to creep in on this one. Sig offers a number of options and finishes, but the entry-level model starts around $700, which some people consider a lot for a mouse gun. However, you'll know where the money went when you shoot it.
Check out the best concealed carry holsters for Sig P238 pistols.
Sig Sauer created a monster in the Sig P365, which quickly became one of the most popular concealed carry pistols on the market. The P365 is one of the few guns that has almost no downsides to owning and carrying and it doesn't even cost all that much to boot.
The P365 doesn't quite reinvent the wheel, but it sure makes improvements. It's a slim, subcompact striker pistol. Dimensions are not far from that of competing models like the S&W M&P Shield, Glock 43 and so on, as the P365 measures 5.8 inches long by 4.3 inches tall by 1 inch wide, with a 3.1-inch barrel. The party piece is a half-staggered magazine, which brings capacity up to 10+1 in the standard magazine, with available 12+1 and 15+1 extended magazines too.
Subcompact size with greater capacity. Night sights are standard, so you may not need to worry about upgrades, which is a bonus. Some feel it's the perfect carry pistol and if it isn't...it'll do until the perfect one gets here. Sig doesn't advertise MSRP anymore, but you could expect to shell out about $500 for one. It would be hard to argue that wouldn't be money well-spent.
Sig 1911 Nickel Compact
The Sig 1911 line are widely considered some of the finest 1911 pistols on the market, and the Sig 1911 Nickel Compact is one of the models to look for. It has a beautiful nickel PVO finish, and more features than some compact 1911s have for twice the price. It comes with an extended beavertail grip safety, low-profile G10 grips, Novak-style SIGLITE sights and a skeletonized trigger and hammer.
However, it differs from many other Commander-frame 1911 pistols, as it has a Commander slide and barrel (4.2-in barrel length, 7.7 inches OAL) but an Officer frame, standing just 4.8 inches tall for easier concealment. Capacity is 7 rounds of .45 ACP, just as JMB intended.
You'll pay the Sig premium, as MSRP is $1198. However, that's hardly unheard of in the 1911 realm, and there are pistols that command far more in sticker that are about the same in quality and features. Sig's 1911s happen to be some of the best around.

Sig SP2022
Everyone knows Sig Sauer makes some of the finest service pistols, and some people just don't want to carry something smaller - for that sort of person, the Sig SP2022 may be the gun to acquire. It's a slightly compact (compared to the P226, anyway) double-stack 9mm (though it can be had in .40 and .357 Sig) with Sig Sauer's classic double action system, replete with the grip-mounted decocker.
The SP2022 comes from the Sig Pro series of the early 2000s (hence SP) and has a lot to offer the person willing to put up with carrying it every day. Like the other Sig Sauer service guns, it's fat - at 1.4 inches - and heavy for a gun of it's type, at 29 ounces unloaded despite a polymer frame. Barrel length is 3.9 inches, which is manageableish for a carry gun, and stands 5.7 inches tall.
In other words, concealing it is not going to be easy and carrying it will require a sturdy gun belt. However, why you should be looking at this gun if you want to carry a service size Sig is that the MSRP is just under $600, and can be found in stores for $500 or less in most cases. The SP2022 has nearly identical specs to the P229, which can command double that price - meaning you get a Sig without the premium.
Another thing you should know is that the Gendarmerie, the French national police, have found service lives of more than 200,000 rounds aren't uncommon with this pistol. In other words, it's a classic Sig service gun that - with basic care - could outlast you for half the price a typical Sig of the type goes for.
Check out the best concealed carry holsters for Sig SP2022 pistols.
The Sig P938 is for the person who thinks the P238 is awesome but prefers 9x19mm to .380, because that's exactly what it is. It's basically the same gun, slightly scaled up for the 9mm cartridge.
That has made the P938 a very popular concealed carry pistol in very short order. Add another $50 to $60 in MSRP, another 0.1 inches of barrel and 0.2 inches in width, and you get the P938. (Carrying capacity is the same.) It carries in the pocket, but will positively disappear in a belt holster.
If you're considering the Sig P938 but not quite sure your set yet, check out some of our gun comparison guides to help you decide which gun to get:

Sig P320 Compact and Sig P320 Carry
The P320 platform, as previously mentioned, is highly modular and can be had in multiple sizes; two additional variants good for CCW use are the Sig P320 Compact and P320 Carry.
There aren't many differences. Truth be told, it's pretty much the same gun. Both are double-stack poly striker guns. Both can be had in 9mm, .40 S&W, .357 Sig and .45 ACP. Both have virtually the same dimensions: 3.9-inch barrel length, overall length of 7.2 inches and are 1.3 inches wide. Both have a 6.5-lb trigger pull, come with SIGLITE night sights and come standard with an accessory rail. You can get a threaded-barrel versions for suppressor usage if you wish.
They even cost the same; base MSRP is $597.
The difference? The Carry model has a slightly longer magazine in the 9mm chambering, adding 0.2 inches in height and two additional rounds for a total of 17 to the Compact model's 15. If you want a Sig with Glock 19-esque specs, these are the guns for you, though you'll have to decide which version appeals more.

Sig 1911 Ultra Compact
Sig happens to make an Officer-frame, the Sig 1911 Ultra-Compact, which can be had in black or two-tone with a stainless slide. Both can be had in .45 ACP or 9mm, with a 3.3-inch barrel for a 6.8-in OAL.
You get the usual Sig 1911 refinements - beavertail grip safety, ambi thumb safeties, skeleton hammer and trigger, low-profile SIGLIGHT sights and Hogue grips.
These are some of the better Officer frames on the market from a major maker, and both go for $1119 MSRP. The two-tone version comes with cocobolo grips, whereas the standard comes with rosewood.

If you want a Sig service pistol for concealed carry, but don't want the weight and fat width, the P225 is the pistol you're looking for. In fact, that's what it was designed for when initially released in the 1970s. Plenty big enough as a service gun, but the single-stack magazine meant it was thin enough for concealed carry.
It's available with or without a threaded barrel, which adds to the overall length. Without the extended barrel, it has a 3.9-inch barrel length, sitting at 6.9 inches OAL, 5.2 inches tall and 1.26 inches wide. Unloaded, it weighs in at 30.5 ounces as it is all stainless steel - hardly lightweight but almost 5 ounces less than the P229, which is the double stack equivalent.
That puts the P225 roughly on par with most Commander 1911 pistols, except it has Sig's classic double/single action firing mechanism and controls. If you want an easily concealed service gun, this is definitely one to consider. You'll pay the Sig premium for it (MSRP is just over $1,000) but you'll know where that money went when you shoot it.
Sig 1911 Fastback Emperor Scorpion Carry and Fastback Nightmare Carry
The Sig 1911 Fastback Carry series are Commander-frame 1911 pistols optimized for carry, and the two takes on the format - namely the Fastback Emperor Scorpion and Fastback Nightmare Carry - are two excellent examples of the breed.
Both feature extended beavertail grip safeties, low-profile Novak-style SIGLITE night sights, skeletonized triggers and hammers, ambidextrous safeties, G10 grips and rounded bobcut lower mainspring housings. Overall specs are roughly the same; 4.2-in barrel, full-length grips and carry 8 rounds of .45 ACP.
The differences? The Scorpion has an FDE-like PVO finish with black hardware, the Nightmare has a black finish with stainless steel hardware, giving it a wicked partial two-tone appearance. The added steel puts a few extra ounces on the Nightmare, however (38.8 oz vs the Scorpion's 35 oz) and the Nightmare costs $10 more in MSRP. Either way, it's a carry-optimized Sig Commander 1911.
Check out the best concealed carry holsters for Sig 1911 Fastback Emperor Scorpion Carry and Fastback Nightmare Carry pistols.
Last, but not least, is the Sig P239, which is essentially a P225 further optimized for concealment. It takes the same 8-round single-stack magazine for 9mm, but every part of the gun that can be trimmed or slimmed for easier concealment has been.
Unfortunately, the P329 has been dropped from the lineup, so you'll have to hit the used market to find one...but it's worth it. Sig's steel-frame pistols are tanks, so you would get a very long service life out of it. Additionally, the P225 and P239 have some of Sig's better triggers.
Barrel length is the same as the P225, but the hammer is trimmed and the slide shortened to 6.6 inches overall. The slide and sights are shaved by 0.1 inches for an easier draw, and overall width has been shaved by 0.06 inches, which isn't much but does make a difference, and the overall weight has been lessened by half an ounce. The trigger guard is also shortened and more round.
However, it's the same classic Sig DA/SA mechanism and controls. It also isn't the case that fewer features cost more, unlike German sports cars; the P239 starts at $957. The P239 is in service with a number of police agencies, including the US Border Patrol for plainclothes work, so make no mistake that it's a Sig service pistol, just optimized for easier concealment. A decent belt holster will make it very easy to hide indeed.

I bought my first Sig in 1994. It is a P-239 40 S&Wand has always been my daily IWB carry pistol. I bought at the same time an Alessi hand made leather holster. A belt clip on. Both of these items are still in great condition. I can not count how many rounds I have put through the Sig but is is many. Never a failure of the pistol. After the first few days of wearing I never even remember I am wearing it. The holster is totally comfortable and I do not notice the weight of the pistol. My only wish is that Sig had provided a rail with it for mounting a laser. Unfortunately today's Alessi holsters are rated very poorly after Mr. Alessi passed away and others took over the shop. This is still my favorite carry gun among my other Sigs and Beretta and S&W pistols.

Has anyone tried the p320 subcompact in the compact/carry 4.0 shell?
James E. Heffernan
I have a sight model 365 and was wondering if the slide from the 365sas can be interchanged with the first model of the 365.?
I have fired the 365 running approximately 700 rounds and at a Target at 75ft---excellent weapon. I was a small arms in structor both in the Corps and Coast Guard. I did serve many years as LEO and find that I wish that I had this weapon in my younger years.

I love both of my Sig,'s. I own the p320 Compact and just love it. I use a Remora holster w/extra mag pouch IWB., in the small of my back. Carry it for hours not a problem.
I also have the SP 2022 in 9mm. That one goes on the OWB. A little big and heavy to carry IWB.
This was my 1st Sig. Love the way they shoot.
They both fit my hand like a fine pair of Tony Llama boots.

The Sig p938 is probably my favorite carry gun. Only 'issue' is that it is single action but that's really not that big of one.
Tony Doody
I have several Sigs and my everyday carry is a German made Sig P228. It is is a little heavy, but with a quality belt and My Alien Gear holster it is comfortable and easily concealed. I'm looking at getting a P320,

What about the SIG P224? I love mine for concealed carry, especially with the extended mag in my pocket.

Calling all sports fans! Er, not really. Calling all CanLit fans is more like it. Like our fellow Torontonians, we’re bracing ourselves for the citywide takeover of the Pan Am Games, starting the end of this week and running for what feels like the whole summer (this is Canada, summer is short, it’s not that much of an exaggeration: see last week’s Canada Day post). To get in the mood and celebrate the accomplishments of the many talented athletes competing in the games, we’ve put together our own competition of sorts.

To get in the mood and celebrate the accomplishments of the many talented athletes competing in the games, we’ve put together our own competition of sorts. We’re calling it the PanLit Games! (cue exciting music) There is no actual athletic prowess required to participate and the end goal is to have fun and add more books to your already toppling TBR pile.
We’ve thought up some genius categories of competition (to give credit where credit is due, we had a little help. Tip of the hat to Julia’s mom, Leah! Hi Mrs. Horel!) that we’ll be broadcasting a couple of times a week over the next four weeks.
Schedule for the PanLit Games 2015:
7/7: Discus Throw, or most thought provoking reads for “discus”ion
7/9: Boxing, or best knock-out monologue
7/14: Pentathlon, or most words in a title
7/16: Golf, or hole-in-one short story collection
7/21: Synchronized Swimming, or best book pairing
7/23: Baseball, or best ensemble cast
7/28: Gymnastics, or most colourful performance by a cover
7/30: Cycling, or best “spokes” person
So watch this space for updates on the standings. May the best book win!*
*And by win, we don’t really mean “win” in the traditional sense as no prizes will be given to winning books. It’s really we, the readers, that come out the winner in these games. So pat on the back you, way to go champ!
Don't keep it to yourself

Euripides | a new version by Rachel Cusk | Directed by Rupert Goold

Medea’s marriage is breaking up. And so is everything else. Testing the limits of revenge and liberty, Euripides’ seminal play cuts to the heart of gender politics and asks what it means to be a woman and a wife.
One of world drama's most infamous characters is brought to controversial new life by Almeida Artistic Director Rupert Goold (The Merchant of Venice, King Charles III, American Psycho) and award-winning feminist writer Rachel Cusk (Outline, Aftermath).
Kate Fleetwood makes her Almeida debut in the title role.

Two Becoming One in Sri Lanka
Lakmal and Joel translating into Tamil and Singhala
An island nation blighted by thirty years of civil war and terrorist activity, Sri Lanka is a country with two ethnic peoples. There are the Tamil people who are Hindu and the Singhala people who are Buddhist. Religion and ethnicity stick together. Singhala-Hindu and Tamil-Buddhist are not combinations that happen very readily.
But guess what?! There are both Tamil Christians and Singhala Christians in Sri Lanka. In fact 21 of the former and 20 of the latter were present together at the first Level One training week in February. And they came from 13 different church groups and organisations. Anglican and Baptist and Apostolic and Reformed and Methodist – as well as Youth for Christ, Back to the Bible, and IFES-affiliate, FOCUS. There is a unity to be found in the gospel – and in the preaching of the gospel. Country Coordinator, Lokendra (“Lokki”) Abhayaratne, was thrilled to be present: “Even if the Lord returns before next February, I can go to him with joy and thanks in my heart.”
Facilitators included Ivor Poobalan (Principal, Colombo Theological Seminary) and Ajith Fernando (Youth for Christ). Ivor is a Tamil, while Ajith is Singhala!
It was crucial that both languages be spoken and so a wireless system was utilised, with participants wearing headphones and Lakmal and Joel sitting side-by-side at the back bringing simultaneous translation.
Eight preaching clubs were established – from Colombo in the West to Batticaloa in the East; from Galle in the South to Jaffna, where such unspoken and unspeakable sadness occurred so recently, in the North – and where FOCUS staff worker, Paheerathan, will be the facilitator.

What is Light Emission
Light can be produced by matter which is in an excited state and, as we will show, excitation can come from a variety of sources. The atoms and molecules that make up matter typically emit light at characteristic energies. The light emission can be spontaneous or stimulated.
In spontaneous emission, matter at a sufficiently high energy level can relax by emitting photons of a characteristic energy - this is the process that occurs in flames, or discharge lamps. Stimulated emission occurs when matter in an excited state is perturbed by a photon of light and gives rise to a further photon of light, typically at the same energy and phase as the perturbing photon. This phenomenon is the process which gives rise to laser emission where you have many photons at the same wavelength and in phase with each other.
Black body radiation
A body at a given temperature also emits a characteristic spectrum of light called black body radiation. Consider an electric filament as current is applied to it. As the electric current supplies energy to the filament and it heats up, it starts to glow red, and as it gets hotter it then turns orange and then white. The process underlying this is well understood for a theoretical body known as a ‘black body’. Our filament will approximate a black body and as the filament gains energy from the electrical power it tries to equalize its energy with its surroundings by radiating its excess energy. It does this by emitting light starting first in the infrared and as the filament gets hotter or has more energy the radiation moves more into the visible spectrum.
The spectral radiance emittance M in Wm-2 nm-1 sr-1 of a black body of Temperature T in Kelvin is given by Planck’s Law below:
Where c is the speed of light, h= Planck’s constant and K = Boltzmann constant
The spectral irradiance for artificial sources in general deviate from a perfect black body radiation, but the approximation is useful in many applications and by measuring the spectral output of a heated body, its temperature can be remotely measured. For example, Sunlight is due to the black body radiation characteristic of a body at approximately 5,800K (see graph below):
The source of the excitation to produce light emission can come from a variety of sources. The table below provides some of the sources and examples of where they can be used:
Name Excitation source Examples of use
Chemiluminescence Chemical reactions Emergency lighting
Cathodeluminescence Electron beam Electron beam
Sonoluminescence Sound energy Possible chemical reactions
Triboluminescence Friction energy Gives rise to light emission seen when opening gum labels in the dark.
Bioluminescence Biological processes Light emission seen from Fireflies or some jellyfish
Thermoluminescence Heat energy Used for Archeological dating
Electroluminescence Electric Voltage Source of light seen in LED's
Photoluminescence Photons of Light Fluorescence markers
Free charged particle acceleration
Light can also be produced by the acceleration of a free charged particle, such as an electron. The light emission is known as Bremsstrahlung or 'braking radiation'. The emission is characteristically seen in X-ray emission tubes which work by accelerating electrons with a high voltage and then by decelerating them very fast by directing them onto a metal target.
A special variety of particle accelerators known as Synchrotrons can be used to generate a wide range of light frequencies of very high power for use in the study of matter. A related effect is Cherenkov radiation which occurs when charged particles move through a medium faster than the speed of light. This produces the characteristic blue light seen in water ponds containing nuclear fuel.
