__label__wiki	0.699991	0.699991	An explanation In 2010 I decided to make a comic in 366 days. It was supposed to be an experiment, a stream of consciousness in slow motion. I made one frame almost every day, thus keeping my word. But the story didn't end there. I kept on drawing until I reached frame number 566. A book called "566 kadrów" was published in April 2013 by W.A.B. in Poland. The UK edition of "566 Frames" was published by Borderline Press in October 2013. This comic is inspired by anecdotes about my family. The storyline is part fiction, part real. All persons portrayed are real. "Writing is seeing how close you can come to make it happen, that's the object of all art." William S. Burroughs Dennis Wojda – scriptwriter and illustrator. Born and raised in Stockholm. Relocated to Warsaw where he received a master's degree in graphic design at the Academy of Fine Arts. Wrote his first story in 1994 for illustrator Krzysztof Gawronkiewicz – and thus, his most recognizable comic about the strange town of Mikropolis was born. Dennis has since then collaborated with the creme of Polish illustrators his work being published in a large number of newspapers, magazines, zines and anthologies.

__label__cc	0.600433	0.399567	Android version distribution: Pie is missing from August’s distribution numbers Android Pie installations are below 0.1 percent and, as such, are not reported. Android Oreo continues to increase, now accounting for 14.6 percent. Android Nougat continues to be the most used version of the operating system. The newest batch of Android distribution numbers of 2018 are in, and Android Pie is nowhere in sight despite rolling out to Pixel and Essential handsets at the beginning of August. As a version of Android has to be installed on at least 0.1 percent of all active devices before it’s included in this report, we will have to wait until more OEMs roll out the firmware upgrade to see Android 9 Pie reflected in the numbers. Editor's Pick Android 8 review: Oreo is for everyoneThree years ago Google introduced us to its new design language called Material Design. It was flat, graphical and colorful. It was the visual change that ushered in the beginning of a new age for … Android Oreo (both 8.0 and 8.1) is now installed on 14.6 percent of all Android devices which is up 2.5 percent from the last distribution report. Judging by Google’s official statistics, Android distribution numbers are heading in the right direction — Oreo installs are rising, while every other flavor of the operating system saw a decrease in installations other than Nougat which remains at 30.8 percent. Google While Android Nougat’s overall percentage remained the same, Android 7.0 saw a 0.9 percent drop which was then matched by a 0.9 percent increase in Android 7.1. While this doesn’t help dethrone Nougat as the most installed version of Android, at least more users are slowly getting newer versions of the operating system. All other Android versions saw a decrease since the last distribution report. Marshmallow is down to 22.7 percent, Lollipop is down to 19.2 percent, and KitKat is down to 8.6 percent. Jelly Bean is down to 2.5 percent, and Ice Cream Sandwich and Gingerbread both are at 0.3 percent. The fact that over 87.3 percent of Android devices are now on Lollipop or later is terrific news, as devices on older operating systems are much more vulnerable to security threats. Does this mark a turn for Android? From KitKat, to Lollipop, to Marshmallow, and to Nougat, each new version of Android seemed to hit fewer devices and do so in a slower fashion (see the chart below). However, with this giant increase in Oreo numbers after only two months in mind, could it be that Google has finally lit a fire when it comes to OEM’s issuing more timely updates to devices? Editor's Pick Why we are keeping phones for longer After years of rapid growth, global smartphone shipments are slowing down. This is party due to the plateauing of the smartphone revolution in China and India, which has seen hundreds of millions of new customers … However, we also know that people are holding onto their phones for longer periods of time, which means the number of active devices running older versions of Android stays high. As the price of flagship phones continues to rise, this could slow the rate of Android adoption rate even further as fewer and fewer devices with old software versions stay in service. Furthermore, there are still Android devices launching without the latest version of Android out of the box, attributable to the rise of lower-cost Chinese devices and increased market growth in developing countries. However, the increased rate of release for major Android versions may be one of the big reasons for the shape of the graph above. Jelly Bean was out for about 16 months before KitKat arrived. KitKat stuck around for slightly over a year followed by Lollipop which just scraped past 11 months before Marshmallow hit the scene. Then Marshmallow was only out for ten and a half months before Nougat showed up in mid-August. Oreo is the only software version to buck the trend, releasing almost a year to the day after Nougat. Shorter OS version shelf lives equal lower market penetration. According to a recent AMA with the Android development team, Android versions will stick to an annual schedule going forward. Hopefully, this will result in less fragmentation. The other key factor here is that each new Android version arrives with more Android devices in circulation, meaning its immediate impact is decreasing. When all of the major OEMs got their flagships up and running with Ice Cream Sandwich, it represented a significant share of Android phones because there were far fewer of them. There are more than two billion monthly active Android devices in use now, so there is simply more ground for the latest Android version to cover. Being on the latest version of Android isn’t as important as it once was, though. With Play Services, for instance, Google can push out important updates to just about every Android device without the need to bake it into Android (thus requiring an entire software update). Plus, a good amount of OEMs have been focusing on rolling out the latest Android security patches to their devices, which means Android phones aren’t as vulnerable to attacks as they once were. source: https://www.androidauthority.com/android-version-distribution-748439/ Best Cases for Galaxy Note 8 Kep your Note 8 protected from day one on with a quality case.

'I believe a lot of the new revenues for the music industry will definitely come through mobile phones,' said Dominque Leguern, director of MIDEM, the premier trade fair for the world's music industry that closes its doors on Thursday. With the number of cellphone users predicted to hit the three billion mark in 2007, and 90 percent of the world's population expected to have mobile access by 2010, this could prove a powerful shot in the arm for the music industry. With CD sales falling and digital sales accounting for 11 percent of the current global market -- expected to rise to 25 percent by 2010 -- interest in what was happening in the mobile phone sector therefore ran high at this week's trade fair.

__label__wiki	0.79099	0.79099	Serious Superheros: "Wired" and "Amped" Amped (the Wired sequel) by Douglas E. Richards Paragon Books (Wired, July 2011, Amped, March 2012) Wired: Available at Amazon Amped: Available at Amazon What if our brains were able to use their full capacity? How many new technologies and inventions could we come up with? What great new strides could be made in every area of accomplishment? "Wired" and the newly-released follow-on, "Amped" do an excellent job of exploring this universe, where Kira Miller, genetic engineer, discovers a way to do just that, and finds that such power has some unexpected side effects, both in her abilities, and in humanity's tendency toward putting ego first. Everyone knows someone whose cranial resources are highly developed who has trouble functioning in normal life, mostly because they no longer listen, or are convinced they know everything. They can get pretty obnoxious. What happens when you magnify the effect by orders of magnitude? We've seen, in recent years, lots of TV shows with characters that have strange and often magical powers, but Douglas Richards brings some new questions into the mix. When everyone can be enhanced, and the Nietzchean tendencies towards pure selfishness are unleashed, how would we know who to trust? What human could handle situations in which he or she could run rings around any competitor without having power corrupt absolutely? Of course, everyone wants a piece of this pie, and Kira must decide on a way to trust others with her secret formula, but the government has got wind of it, and will go to any lengths, including publicly declaring her a terrorist, to get their hands on the formula and the scientist who made it. She is, however, frustratingly difficult to catch. Anyone sent to find her fails spectacularly, including David Desh, a Special Forces hotshot known in government circles as someone who could track down anybody. She's smarter and faster and stronger, and outsmarts them at every turn, eerily anticipating their every move. Several who made the attempt never reported back, but then again, neither did David Desh. The government now has a problem. A very charismatic woman is on the loose with one of the most life-changing technologies the world has ever seen, and her intentions are hardly clear. The manhunt, or in this case woman-hunt, is full on. Anyone who helps her is at risk, and when her brother is taken hostage to get her to turn over information, her refusal to do so costs him his life. Is this secret important enough to justify this sacrifice? Kira is certain it is, but the guilt is overwhelming. "Wired" begins the story, but "Amped" takes it to a new level. Cat and mouse chases with a far superior mouse have many twists and turns, and the plot has some good action writing, which makes this book hard to put down before the last page. Kira's team is making breathtaking discoveries, trying to hold down the superhero arrogance while improving technology (sometimes more successfully than others), including an energy-producer never before seen. "Energy this cheap and abundant would power homes, businesses, cars, and factories. It would drive an unprecedented explosion of growth in world economies, changing the face of civilization overnight. But would it be too revolutionary? Would the tectonic shift it would cause be too dramatic and disruptive? And what would oil based economies -- often in the world's most volatile regions and in the hands of the most ruthless regimes -- do when the rug was pulled out from under them and their ocean of money was about to run dry? Go to war? Unleash weapons of mass destruction?...the final analysis would be done by the core council when their minds were amplified, but even so these questions would be brutally difficult to answer." Suddenly however, there's another group in the mix. It's not only the government that wants in on the secret, and these guys apparently have part of it -- they have some superior cats out to catch this mouse. And they are close to success. In addition to bringing us some great action close-in-time sci-fi, these books ask the intelligent questions that the best sci-fi asks. "Who are we really, when push comes to shove?" "What do humans do when there's a priceless prize to be had?" "How do we find ways to control our ever growing arrogance, and how can we actually trust one another in a world of increasing technology?" I highly recommend these two books. I really enjoyed both books for the action, the science (biology, astronomy and computer), the plot and the strong, smart, lovely woman behind it all. My background in programming, network engineering and threat detection placed a critical eye on the character of Matt but I came away pleasantly convinced of his freakish hacking abilities. Both books are excellent in substance and entertaining as well. I couldn't put either of them down and look forward to more from Mr. Richards!

__label__wiki	0.886518	0.886518	A Midnight Visit announces its multidisciplinary Melbourne cast Part performance, part surreal playground, part choose your own adventure – and all parts unforgettable, the award-winning immersive theatre show, A Midnight Visit, has announced the eleven multidisciplinary performers who will be taking up residency at the House of Usher – Funeral Services from 30 July 2019. With the show being praised for its dauntless innovation and visionary disruption of traditional theatre, A Midnight Visit pushes the frontiers of contemporary performance across 36 rooms in a two-storey warehouse – bringing audiences up close and intimate with the dark secrets at the heart of our humanity, staging unique encounters under an intricate, clockwork-timed choreography. Cast members include Cameron MacDonald as Roderick Usher, who joins the show fresh from the Australia-wide tour of Jersey Boys; Kristian Santic, who has worked on productions with Nick Cave and GOMA, is the Hop Frog; and Saro Sawakchim, a former number one gymnast in Thailand, plays The Black Cat. Reprising their roles are several fan favourites, including burlesque and theatre performer Hannah Raven as Ligeria; and musical and theatre performer Bobbie-Jean Henning as Virginia. They will be joined by Stee Andrews as The King; John Marc Desengano as Detective Dupin; Megan Drury is The Actress; Hudson Emery plays The Raven; Bri Emrich is Madeline Usher; and Andy Johnston is Poe. A Midnight Visit is inspired by the arch-priest of gothic, Edgar Allan Poe, each cast member embodies a real or imagined figment of his world, whether it be a character from his poetry (The Raven), his short stories (The Black Cat), or his fatefully short life (Virginia). Enriching the multi-genre production, each performer brings a specialised skill to A Midnight Visit. These talents range from contemporary circus to physical theatre, burlesque to acrobatics, live music to text-based narrative. This multidisciplinary range thrills the Broad Encounters power duo polymaths, Kirsten Siddle and Danielle Harvey – the two have imagineered the production into life from inception into its third upcoming season. “The production embraces the diversity of Australian talent,” says Siddle. “It’s wonderful to have such a phenomenal cast with such diverse skills and backgrounds.” While Harvey, who is also the show’s director describes her role facilitating and directing the performers “to let their unique abilities shine through” as “a rare and wonderful opportunity.” Both new and returning cast members have themselves embraced the bold and unconventional nature of the show. The format gives audiences agency over their own experience, encouraging creativity, curiosity and play. In turn, this means that performers have no single stage, performing to a constantly shifting audience, across a multitude of different rooms. “There’s no other performance platform in Australia that allows each of our multidisciplinary artists the opportunity to play, explore and continually grow like A Midnight Visit does,” says Stee Andrews, who returns to the role of The King after being cast in the Perth production. While Cameron MacDonald believes the show is tapping into Australia’s hunger for new forms of entertainment. “I’m hearing all about A Midnight Visit from friends of mine who wouldn’t normally go to the theatre!” he says. “The idea of immersive theatre is exciting to the general public, and they’re going to have a great time.” Megan Drury, who has been with the production since its premiere season in Sydney, says the show is “unlike anything else I’ve experienced in my work-life to date.” A Midnight Visit House of Usher – Funeral Services, 222 Macaulay Rd, North Melbourne Season: 7 August – 15 September 2019 (previews: 30 July – 4 August) Information and Bookings: www.amidnightvisit.com Image: A Midnight Visit (supplied) The light fades but the gods remain On the Couch with Valeria Lawson	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0078.json.gz/line11

Start answering from question 16 and then proceed serially. Read the directions for each set of questions carefully. Directions may change. Directions for Questions 16 - 21: Answer the questions after reading the passage. Base your answer on information that is either stated or implied in the passage. Choose the best answer and darken the corresponding oval in the answer sheet. Passage: The sad truth is out. In its annual report for the year ending March 2000, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has said that the Indian economy is in a much worse condition than hitherto believed. If so, what is the use of foreign exchange reserves worth $44 billion and food stocks of 60 million tonnes ? Going by the Finance Minister's remarks, it appears that India cannot be an island of growth when the world economy is on a downward trend. But the RBI report has noted that global recession is only one of the factors for the slowdown in India, particularly in the external front. The major cause for concern is the prolonged recession in the industry which is yet to show signs of recovery. Significantly, when the RBI unfolded its credit policy in April 2001, it painted an optimistic picture, projecting a GDP growth of 6 to 6.5 percent of the fiscal 2001 - 2002. Four months later, the RBI feels that it is better to be discreet than make bold forecasts. Hence, the conspicuous absence of a revised GDP growth estimate. With economic deceleration continuing into the second year, the RBI has raised doubts over the Planning Commission's optimism about higher growth in the medium term. How is it possible to achieve the Tenth Plan objective of 8 Percent GDP unless industry grows at 10 percent ? While the industry grew at 5.6 percent during 2000-01, it fell below 2 percent in the first Quarter of the current fiscal year (2001-02). By the RBI's own admission, its earlier projection of 6 to 6.5 percent GDP growth was based on a reversal of industrial slowdown following expectations of a favourable monsoon (2001). The monsoons have been satisfactory, but the industry has not recovered. The RBI has called for Labour reforms, exit procedures, bankruptcy laws, PSU reforms etc. But these involve substantive legislation which can take time since a consensus has to be achieved on those sensitive issues across the political spectrum. The key to recovery lies in easy action by way of increased public spending. Global recession cannot inhibit the creation of domestic demand if the government wants to invest in the infrastructure like roads, ports and housing. What is the use of holding huge food stocks if it cannot be used immediately to create physical assets in rural areas ? The need is for action, not rhetoric. (Source: A lead article published in one of the Indian national dailies on August 30, 2001). Questions 16 - 21 are based on the above passage: 16 According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE ? I RBI in its annual report said that slowdown in the Indian economy is largely due to economic recession globally. II RBI in its report said that the Indian economy is not so much worse as the economists would like us to believe. III The RBI report has noted the major cause for concern is the prolonged recession in the industry, which is yet to show signs of recovery. IV In its annual report, the RBI has projected a GDP growth of 6 to 6.5 percent for the fiscal 2001 - 02. 17 According to the passage, ------ 1 India cannot be an island of growth when the world economy is on a downward trend. 2 The tenth plan objective of 8 percent GDP growth will be achieved once the industry picks up its growth rate of 10 percent. 3 Indian economy is still substantially agricultural and hence weather dependent. 4 RBI admitted that its earlier projection 6 to 6.5 percent GDP growth was estimated on expectation of a favourable monsoon and likely reversal of industrial slowdown. 18 Which of the following statements, if true, will strengthen the argument in support of the economic slowdown in the first Quarter of the fiscal 2001 - 02 ? 1 Companies are not taking loans because of high interest rates but also because they do not see or feel confident about investment opportunities. 2 The promised Labour reforms, exit procedures, bankruptcy laws, PSU reforms, PSU disinvestments etc., did not materialize as expected. 3 GDP growth does not truly reflect the economic health of a vast country with such regional diversity like India. 4 None of the above. 19 Which of the following statements can be inferred as the main thrust of the passage ? 1 Global recession is one of the major factors for the economic slowdown in India particularly due to downward trends in exports. 2 With economic deceleration continuing for two consecutive years, the Planning Commission's optimistic forecast about higher growth was more of a political compulsion than economic reasoning. 3 Global recession cannot inhibit the creation of domestic demand and therefore the government should increase public spending such as investment in infracture e.g., roads, ports, and housing. 4 A consensus has to be achieved on the sensitive issues like labour laws, PSU reforms, etc., across the political spectrum in order to increase economic growth and reverse slowdown. 20 Accepting the line of argument or reasoning as stated in the passage as true, which of the following statements weaken(s) the conclusion ? I Economic liberalization as a government policy since 1991 runs counter to the increased public spending in roads, ports, and housing. II Globalization and market economy are the facts of life today and as such is against the government investment in infrastructure. III Privatisation of infrastructure development supports the economic liberalization and hence economic recovery. (1) I only (2) II only (3) III only (4) I, II and III 21 According to the author of the passage, which of the following best states the central point of the passage ? I Economic reforms should be the priority of the government to stem the rot of slowdown. II Government intervention in the form of public spending in infrastructural development. III Substantive legislative reforms in labour laws, exit procedures, bankruptcy laws, etc., to boost private investment and arrest the economic slowdown. Directions Questions 22 - 23.

Thanks to his efforts and a good camera, he can now share with you the first photos of Anthony’s Weiner. We first met him at Nathan’s hot dog eating competition. It was there that Joey Chestnut, winner of the contest endorsed Weiner in the mayoral race. Anthony’s Weiner in competition with the others Anthony’s Weiner in solitary contemplation As a good Jewish American and a firm (what else?) supporter of Israel, Anthony’s Weiner professes to be 100% Kosher and a cut above the rest. Hebrew National, what else? We will resist saying how he does so with great relish. Asked to explain his tweeting activity, he refused comment, saying “ I answer to a higher power.” Pressed further, as to when he might elaborate further, Weiner added, “When the moment is right.” This did not go over well with the press, however, who charged him with failure to rise to the occasion and flip-flopping.

Sexual Interpretation of the Fiscal Cliff Republicans like to say that “government” is a dirty word. Closer examination, however, reveals that it’s just not the word, but the whole freaking enterprise that’s obscene. It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents, except at occasional intervals when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in our capitol Washington, D.C. that we lay our scene), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty lamps that struggled against the darkness. It was on that night that legislators surreptitiously crept through the back doors of the Capitol, far from the public eye to engage in — what else? — an orgy of government spending. In ill-lit corners of the hallowed chamber, legal suits came undone and beltway manners, loosened as members shed their reservations, openly exposed themselves for who they truly were. Acts of naked aggression were commonplace. People of both parties were jumping all over one another. It was not a pretty sight. For Democrats, the situation was all too inviting — treasury teats, firm, inviting, perky, pebbled, and plentiful, revealed themselves, all ripe for the taking. And take to them they did, passionately sucking on the pulsating orbs of Mother Liberty, whilst encouraging their mooching minions to join in. Tea Party Republicans protested, “Unhand them, Sir!” A lone Democrat from the Longhorn State stood firm. Slowly but ever-so-methodically he began making his case, only to find the entrance to the silken love-cave, which held the treasured cache, blocked. He would not take no for an answer. Republicans voted “no, no,” but there was yes, yes in their eyes — those languid pools of deep blue splendor in which lovers find hints of encouragement. Our fair warrior pressed our fair nation on, stimulating her economy in slow but firm strokes. A Republican maiden interjected, protesting his advance, invoking instead the guiding hand of the invisible marketplace. Indignantly, she grabbed his entitlement, flinging it furiously it to the floor. What do you take me for,” she cried out with indignation. “What kind of a girl do you think I am? “ “That is how ordinary people make ends meet,” the Democrat countered, “And you, my dear, are not above it.” Elsewhere a throbbing (as well as pulsating and quivering) Republican member pressed his case against the nubile young Democrat. “No cover-ups here,” he screamed, ripping her dainty bodice from her trembling body. His hands moved downward, running through her briefs, in a blind search for the nub of the matter. “Stop right there, you…you… dishonorable member!” she cried out. “Assume the position,” he demanded, not missing a beat. “Never,” said she. Their eyes locked. Slowly he advanced on his trembling prey. His lips pursed in anticipation as drops of warm moisture coalesced in the corners of his mouth. Her torn outer garment at her feet, she stood before him, as her maker had created her. His eyes darted downward, finally alighting upon her surplus. The view was riveting. The gap between empty promises and limited finances stared out — moist and warm, yawning and inviting—beckoning him onward. “‘Tis a void crying to be filled,” he shrieked, “And I am the man to fill it… I will. I will. I can. I can.” “Abort this mission, now!”” she screamed, her eyes locked on his heat seeking missile, preparing to launch. You are in direct violation of the penal code. Have you no sense of decency, sir?” Alas, there was no stopping him. Intoxicated by a firm mandate from the previous election, he hammered his point home. Politics indeed makes for strange bedfellows. In the farthest recesses of the chamber, a tiny minority were busily engaged in a caucus — surreptitiously engaging in unnatural acts which could only be described as “compromising,” reaching across the aisle, taking positions unknown to polite society. “I’ve never done it this way before,” protested one reluctant participant, his voice trembling with fear and anticipation. “It’s a bipartisan position with which I am not at all comfortable.” “One has to be flexible in such matters,” his counterpart argued. “There are times when you have to put country ahead of politics, moments when you have to bend over backward to accomplish something.” “This is simply too weird,” protested another. “The state of the union is a state of traditional values and uni-sexuality — not behavior becoming of animals. And when push turns to shove, we must stand up for those beliefs.” Amidst it all, there suddenly arose a tsunami of delight, a tidal wave of conciliation, which suddenly swept over all — followed by a giant cosmic sneeze. Seismic tremors shook the capitol to its very foundation; pyrotechnics exploded in midair, painting the evening sky with arrays of streaming, streaking color. Taste buds cracked and popped, filling the air with the fresh scent of French toast and chocolate. It was the moment of reconciliation: the Second Coming. As fast as it had happened, it was over. Cigarettes lit up the chamber like fireflies at dusk, celebrating their coming out, and slowly, ever so slowly, the evening wound down — a pall of silence fell over the chamber, punctuated only by hushed whimpers and sighs. The Speaker strode to the podium. It was time to formally bring the session to a close. ‘Twas a solemn moment, calling for great oratory. “This is a time when each of us should reflect upon his God-sworn duty, why we have been called to these hallowed halls. Look deep inside yourselves, not elsewhere, for the answer. Ask not what you can do to your secretaries and your interns, but what you can do to the country.” A chorus of silent acquiescence nodded in assent. The gavel came down; its dull thud echoing through the chamber. “This orgy is hereby adjourned.” He declared. And thus conclude the sexual congress. Back to the streets, poorly lit by the scanty street lights, its members repaired, once more struggling against the elements — the violent gusts of wind, the rain pelting in their face. And that’s the way it is. Keep up to date on the latest and greatest bawdy news. Sponsored by www.bawdylanguage.com for the benefit of all mankind.

So says Dominique Strauss Kahn, lecher extraordinaire, fighting to throw out charges linking him to prostitution, claiming that what authorities are really doing is trying to criminalize lust. It seems that DSK, as his friends like to call him, helped organize orgies attended by the upper echelons of international society and staffed by high–priced escorts. The exclusive orgies called “parties fines” were lavish Champagne affairs which cost around $13,000 each—were an organized road show of sorts roving from Paris to Washington by businessmen seeking to ingratiate themselves with Mr. Strauss-Kahn, one of the most powerful men in the world. These soirees were orchestrated largely for the benefit of Mr. Strauss-Kahn, who sometimes sought sex with three or four women. Their format was simple. They would start with a fine meal and end with naked guests and public sex with multiple partners. Boys will be boys, and men, well… There's really nothing really new here. It's all part of a long standing tradition, going back to Ancient Rome and the libertines of the 18th century. You know, the Find'em, fuck’em, forget ‘em school: Casanova, Don, Juan, rakes, roués, the parlor snake, and the contemporary ass-man. Strauss-Kahn considers himself among the greats. Alas, for those of us who are familiar with the philosophy of the Marquis de Sade, you my dear DSK are no Marquis de Sade. Jimmy Carter had a lust for life and lust was only in his heart. But DSK leads a life for lust, and it seems to get no respect. He argues that just as the celibates of the Church have a right to have their sexuality or lack of same honored, so too should he and others for whom their penis is their North Star also be respected for their orientation and allowed to practice their beliefs freely. It’s all boils down to an issue of basic human rights, says DSK. Stop discriminating against those with a different lifestyle—free-fucking, free-loving men everywhere. And the women? "Ce'st la guerre," says he—collateral damage, or what have you. As to the maid he attempted to rape in his hotel room? Just one more of those people disrespectful of his rights… fuck yes! It's all a matter of principle, you see. Give me libertinage or give me… Keep up to date on the latest and greatest bawdy news. Sponsored by bawdylanguage.com for the benefit of all mankind.

Tit for That Paparazzi recently took us on a trip down Mammary Lane, photographing Kate Middleton topless, thrusting the royal orbs into the public’s consciousness and providing us all with food for thought. Ever quick to seize the moment, Dr.Bawdy joined forces with the British Dietary Council and dispatched their own photographer to the scene. After untold hours of snooping and prying, they can now share with you, the public, the fruits (amongst other thing) of their labors, as they revealed themselves over several meals. As you can see, Kate’s founts of nature are nothing less than a sight to feast upon and a visual commitment of people everywhere to a balanced diet.

Blow Me! Sex can take many different turns. It can be a slight turn from the norm—a mere diversion (from the Latin di and vertere) or a complete u-turn (per) away from that which is normal, creating a perversion ( from per and vertere). Think you’d like a spot of perving (c.1925, Australia)? Fine. But only in moderation. As Voltaire reminded us upon declining a second invitation to an orgy, "Once a philosopher, twice a pervert." We heard recently of a spot (and spoof) of the sexual other: a young man in Arkansas who has an erotic thing about balloons. "Latex lunacy," you say. Hey, be not so quick to judge. Here's a guy who honestly loves balloons, and you're going to puncture his fantasy? That's cold! If you think it's all just so much hot air, you wouldn’t be wrong. There's already a subset of such fetishists whose thing is inhaling the helium. Balloon purists, the pure cuddlers, are quick to dismiss these folks, noting how "they simply suck." Whatever floats your balloon. Right? The big Balloon Fetish Convention is scheduled for October 31 at the Dirigible in Las Vegas. Feel free to float on in.

Pastor Has Pounding Headache The New Orleans Times Picayune recently reported that Reverend Grant Storms, an avowed anti-gay activist, had been arrested on "Obscenity of public masturbation.". Following his arrest, Storms admitted to having watched pornography that day and putting his hands in his pants. "I apologize deeply for my inappropriate, sinful actions," he said tearfully, describing himself as "disoriented and confused." Confusing actions such as Storms' are hardly isolated occurrences. They are a part of an extended historic struggle on the part of Church to come to grips with masturbation. It is a conflict which reaches back to the days of the friars of Merrie Olde England. "When the flesh rebels against the spirit, asked a monk of his prior, "What do you do?" "I take my breviary and read it through," he replied. "And I" said a sanctified frater, "jump into cold water." "For my part, “observed a young fellow listening in, "I settle the matter at once without ceremony: I knock the brains out of the evil one." Clearly, the last approach — the old one-two punch — was the same one favored by Reverend Storms. Alas, it doesn't bode well for his future. After his congregants have learned what has happened, the only thing Storms will be publicly pounding will probably be the pavement. Dr. C.B.

Henrik Runnel's moment in the sun, receiving a medal at the Olympics for rowing, was momentarily upended when his penis became erect during the award ceremonies. "Is that a medal in your pants or are you just happy to be receiving one?" an unnamed Olympics official queried? . Henrik's rigorously denied the erection, though pictures proved to the contrary. Intrepid reporter that we are, we went directly to the source for an exclusive interview with his penis. Dr. C.B.: Great to have you hear. Glad you could make it. Penis: My pleasure. May I say hi to my Mom? …Hi Mom! Dr. C.B.: Let’s get right to the point. Were you or were you not erect during the presentation? Penis: Well, sort of… Dr. C. B.: What do you mean sort of? Either you were or you weren’t. Penis: Not true. There are varying degrees of tumescence. Dr. C.B.: Where would you put it on a scale of 1-10? Penis: An 8, somewhere between an adequate woodie and a profound steelie. Dr. C.B.: And to what do you attribute its woody-steelyness? Penis: There’s a natural urge to get up and out to join in the excitement, you know? Be part of the larger scene. And with everyone else coming to attention, I felt I should as well. It was after all a matter of great national pride. You know I have feelings too. Dr. C.B.: How do you feel about your man denying that it happened. He is on record swearing you weren’t really erect, and that if you had been, he would have covered you with his flowers. Penis: He’s in denial. Flowers would have been the ultimate insult. Having an erection is not a fucking funeral. I am his manhood and he should stand by me as I stand by him. Dr. C.B.: And what do you make of his blaming it on the spandex? Penis: Spandex, schmandex. Man, agreed it’s the pits down there, dark, snug, hot, and uncomfortable tucked away so tightly you can’t even move. There is a natural inclination to expand one’s presence, but you can only stretch the spandex argument so far. We’re both responsible for what happened and he more than I. Though I occasionally have a mind of my own, he’s got to take some of the responsibility. Dr. C.B.: Do you have any personal dreams or aspirations you’d care to share with our readers? Penis: I dreamt that one day I’d have my own day in the sun, standing on the podium alone at full attention with the gold draped around my neck, Henrik by my side smiling his approval and later embracing me, the crowd going mad, expressing its affection and approval of us both. Dr. C.B.: What’s next in your life? Penis: I’ve got a scheduled visit on the View, an interview with Letterman, a trip to Disneyland, and a bikini wax. Dr. C.B.: Busy, busy, busy….Any regrets? Penis: I hope that next time, that I can play an active part at a larger coming-out party. It’s pretty tough slumbering in the obscurity of the crotch, called on only when the things get heavy. Try it sometime, and you’ll know what I mean. Dr. C.B.: Thank you for taking the time to visit with us. I really appreciate your candor. If I may say it, you’re a real stand-up kind of guy! Penis: Thank you. See you around. Posted by admin on August 8, 2012 at 4:47 pm under Obscenity and Other Perverse Activity.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0078.json.gz/line16

A seemingly impossible task made possible by one of Apple's greatest software innovations; at least in my mind and the minds of millions of others with disabilities. Apple's solution was VoiceOver, a screen reader like no other before. VoiceOver uses touch gestures instead of keyboard shortcuts and other more desktop friendly inputs that had been used before. Simply put, VoiceOver allowed millions of blind and visually impaired users to experience the magic that was iPhone. In some ways, VoiceOver is to accessibility as the Model T was to transportation: both brought new opportunities to the masses. VoiceOver has come preinstalled on every iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch for the past five years. Blind and visually impaired users can purchase a device off the shelf and have access almost immediately. Apple often says “built-in, not bolted on” when talking about accessibility which is definitely accurate in respect to VoiceOver. Thanks to VoiceOver blind and visually impaired users were as much a part of the smartphone revolution as any other user group. Over the past five years Apple has refined and updated VoiceOver and has added new accessibility features to help users with a wide variety of disabilities. Apple devices pushed the entire smartphone and tablet market to become more accessibile to more people. The inclusion of VoiceOver and other built-in accessibility features has allowed the App Store to boom with assistive apps to help the needs of people with disabilities. Not only did VoiceOver show that accessibility was possible on a touch screen phone, it gave developers a foundation to build great accessible apps. Basically, VoiceOver created a customer base for apps that helped the blind, which drove demand and increased the supply of great accessible apps. Another app gold-rush of sorts, but this time with apps tailored to people with disabilities. These apps are opening up new possibilities for disabled iOS users. On this fifth birthday of VoiceOver, Apple continues improve its accessibility offerings. Apple Keynote events routinely focus on a person with a disability being aided by an Apple product; it is clear that Apple cares about accessibility. New accessibility features come with every release of iOS, allowing users with different needs to get the most out of their device. However, no software is bug free and users are encouraged to email accessibility@apple.com with suggestions or comments. And a many developers still do not support accessibility features in their apps. It can go a long way for users to tweet or email a developer asking for enhanced accessibility features. With Apple releasing “new product categories” within the year as CEO Tim Cook is often heard saying, hopefully accessibility remains at the forefront. VoiceOver has opened doors for millions of blind and low vision users, what other five-year-old can say that? Happy birthday VoiceOver!

The Fire Phone has a number of flashy, maybe even gimmicky, features along with a few features that may have serious accessibility implications. The phone which starts at $200 and starts shipping on July 25th runs Fire OS 3.5.0 similar to Amazon's Kindle Fire tablets. The operating system includes a number of built-in accessibility features including features to help blind, low vision, mobility impaired, and hearing impaired users. For blind and low vision users, the Fire Phone includes a screen reader which allows users to navigate the screen without seeing it. Assuming the Fire Phone uses the same text-to-speech voices as the Kindle Fire tablets, the text-to-speech voice used is very high quality. For low vision users, the Fire Phone includes a zoom mode and high contrast support. Closed captioning, mono audio, and hearing aid compatibility (HAC) are features included for users with hearing impairments.The Fire Phone also includes features for users with mobility challenges including dictation and improved one-handed usability. It is very encouraging to see Amazon include accessibility features in to their Fire Phone. Click here to read a full overview of all the Fire Phone's accessibility features. Amazon, once reluctant to support accessibility, has shown a new dedication to accessibility for users with disabilities. Hopefully, this continues in future updates to the Fire OS as well as to future products. In addition to dedicated accessibility features, the Fire Phone has a couple of mainstream features that could be potentially beneficial to people with disabilities. The first of these features is called Mayday. Mayday is currently available on newer Kindle Fire tablets allows users to quickly connect and chat with technical support directly from their device. Simply by pressing the easy to access Mayday button users are atomically connected. Technical support staff can access certain device functions to assist users with a variety of questions. Support staff can even virtually draw on the screen to draw your attention to certain buttons. In my testing, I was able to connect with Mayday staff in under a minute and the staff was knowledgeable and friendly. The support personnel were even knowledgeable about accessibility features. This feature could be great for users with cognitive challenges who need assistance using certain features on their phone. The second feature is called Firefly. By pressing a dedicated button on the side of the device and pointing the camera at an object the Fire Phone can identify that object. Amazon demonstrated this feature at their even and it worked very quickly. Firefly could be used by the blind to identify objects and differentiate objects of similar size and shape. For example, to identify if a can contains chicken soup or sliced peaches. Similar to iOS apps like TapTapSee, Firefly is Amazon's attempt to make buying merchandise through Amazon an easier process. The Fire Phone seems promising, but it is impossible to determine its true value in terms of accessibility until it is released next month.

The update, which is available for free, allows users to seamlessly switch between reading the Kindle text version of a book to listening to the Audible audio version of a book. For example, if you read part of the book and then switch to the audio version the recording will pickup right where you left off. The new feature even allows users to listen to the audio book while following along with the text version. Audio speaking rate can be increased or decreased according to user preference. Unfortunately, unlike Immersion Reading on Kindle Fire tablets, the Kindle app for iOS and Android does not highlight the text as it is being read allowed. While this may not be an inconveniences for some users, it could be a major omission for users with tracking difficulty. For now, users will need a Kindle Fire tablet to take advantage of the full Immersion Reading experience. To learn more about Immersion Reading click here. There is one another major caveat: price. In order to take advantage of Whispersync for Voice or Immersion Reading on a Kindle Fire, you must purchases both the Kindle and Audible versions of a book. This can become extremely expensive for the occasional reader let alone a book worm. To download the app for iOS click here and to download the app for Android click here.

Many websites will have general information about iOS 8, but this post will focus on accessibility related changes to iOS. iOS 8 includes new keyboard options, improved text-to-speech voices, improved Guided Access features, and improved Siri functionality among other accessibility related features. Apple can always add or alter features before the general release. The new operating system will be available this fall for the general public. QuickType and Keyboard Apple's iOS 8 will include a built in predictive keyboard called QuickType. This new software keyboard will predict words for the user as they type. Once the word you want to enter appears in the suggestion bar above the keyboard, you simply tap it to insert that word. This feature will cut down on key strokes needed to enter words which will benefit people with dexterity challenges. QuickType even takes context into account so if your typing an email it will suggest more formal language that if you are writing a text message. QuickType will be similar to the Co:Writer app, but will work across all apps on your devices. In addition to Apple's own QuickType keyboard, iOS 8 will allow third-party developers to develop keyboards for system wide use. For example, Fleksy could be updated to work with every app on the iPhone or iPad. This flexibility gives users with different abilities the opportunity to switch keyboards to one that fits their needs. For users who are blind or visually impaired downloading the fast and accessible Fleksy keyboard may allow them to more easily enter text. iOS 8 takes big steps to help people manage data associated with their health. Users can input data into the health app through third-party health monitoring devices like a blood pressure reader or through apps. This data can then be automatically shared with doctors and other health care professionals to help insure timely and appropriate care. For instance, if a blood pressure or glucose reading was outside of a normal range, a doctor could be automatically alerted. This could help people with chronic conditions live more independently especially in their later years. The health app will include another life saving feature called "in case of emergency card." This information card will be accessible from the lock screen and will allow first responders and emergency room doctors important health information in the case of an emergency. The card can include a photo, medical conditions, allergies, current medications, and more all to give life saving information to emergency medical personnel. Family sharing will allow families with multiple iOS 8 devices to manage their iOS devices more harmoniously. Parents will be able to set up home sharing to monitor their child's physical location or to share purchased content from the iTunes store among members of the family. Children will also have to ask parents permission before purchasing an app. Spotlight Search Spotlight search is an existing feature in iOS 7, but in iOS 8 it gets supercharged. Spotlight in iOS 8 will give Siri-like answers. Unlike Siri, which uses voice input, spotlight uses text input. This new form of input gives users with speech impairments the ability to type, instead of speak, queries and get meaningful results. iOS 8 improves Touch ID by allowing third-party apps to unlock information using just a user's fingerprint. Touch ID is currently used for unlocking your device and making iTunes purchases. This feature already is great for blind users because it offers secure authentication without having to type, which can be a slower process with VoiceOver. In iOS 8, the ability to access third-party apps with just a finger print will expand on the already very accessible Touch ID feature of iOS 7. iOS 8 will also bring improvements to Siri. Most notably, users will be able to activate Siri hands-free by saying "Hey, Siri." This new hands-free voice command may benefit people that have trouble activating the home button. This always listening feature is similar to Google's advanced voice search. iOS 8 will also offer faster dictation that appears on screen as you speak. This new feature will prusumably work with Siri and in app dictation. iOS 8 will also include features that Apple did not have time to fully preview during their keynote. The first one included in the keynote was "Braille Keyboard for direct 6-dot Braille input." Other accessibility related features include the ability to use the advanced and high quality Alex voice. The Alex voice is currently available for the Mac and many users enjoy its high quality. iOS 8 will also include improved zoom for accessibility, but no further details on this feature where offered. iOS 8 will also include some enhancements to Guided Access. Guided Access is a feature that locks a user into a single app. This is great for teachers administering tests on an iPad or parents of kids who are easily distracted. In iOS 8, users will be able to use Touch ID to exit from Guided Access. Users will also be able to use time limits and countdown timers to control Guided Access. Another feature listed is "Speak screen," a somewhat mysterious feature than did not garner any further explanation from Apple. Speak screen may be a brand new accessibility feature or maybe unrelated to accessibility, but the name seems to imply some link to accessibility.

__label__cc	0.71932	0.28068	F1 Season Has Officially Begun By Changmoh • Thursday, 18 September 2014 • Brit Stuff, Festivals I always like this time of year. Singapore is positively buzzing with excitement and the car, which usually generates nothing but complaints from people living here, (bad traffic/COE prices going through the roof/the general cost of them) is exalted. I am not a petrol-head but it is always nice to ring the changes. Although racing may not start until Friday, the run-up to it began yesterday. Last night saw the celebration of Britain through the prism of the F1. The venue: Eden Hall for the unveiling of Icon Gallery’s new exhibition showcasing motor racing inspired art by two British artists. 28 Nassim Road looked splendid, lit with red, white and blue. In fact, it looked so good that if we get a ‘no’ vote on the Scottish independence referendum which is happening today – i.e. the blue in the British flag will remain – I think His Excellency Antony Phillipson should light up Eden Hall in celebration (AP how about it?). Icon’s exhibition, aptly titled Speed, is fronted by Brit talents Nikki Douthwaite and Paul Oz. Here’s a quick précis… Nikki in a nutshell: think modern day Seurat but instead of dots of paint, her medium of choice is sticky paper dots. I love Seurat and Post-impressionism and I loved her work too. Here’s a close up: and here’s a long shot: Paul Oz’s art is completely different in style and his tactile impasto was deliciously tempting to touch (he actually said that he has a lot of trouble with children at his gallery who are always touching his work; he uses oil paint which can take up to six months to fully dry). This was my favorite piece and is called ‘Taxi’, a scene from Silverstone 1991 when Mansell gave Senna a lift – echoed in last year’s Singapore F1 when Alonso stopped for Webber. Yours for the price of $1,950 which I didn’t think was bad at all. As a matter of fact, I thought it was great value when you consider that most of the graduate art on sale at London degree shows now charts the £900 ($1,800) mark. This is more like it (below) and will set you back $10,800 (price aside, I still much prefer Taxi). Oz did get some extra points for the crumpled Union Jack jacket though: I like his style. Here’s to a year of less noise and more poise (the switch to quieter, more efficient 1.6-litre V6 engines this season may have been derided by earplug sellers, but I am rather pleased). May the many F1 countdown events continue to make us feel that the weekend is here already. Read it and weep: I wrote a piece for the Telegraph on the price of an Aston Martin Vantage in the UK being cheaper than a Hyundai Sante Fe in Singapore.

Jordan, Roger T. Koide, Anthony C. Yannarell, Adam S. Davis Journal: Weed Science / Volume 64 / Issue 4 / December 2016 Print publication: December 2016 Integrated weed management (IWM) relies upon multiple chemical, physical, or biological weed management techniques to achieve an acceptable level of weed control. Agents that selectively suppress weeds but not crops and that can be manipulated in agriculture will be promising components for inclusion in IWM. We used a meta-analytic approach to investigate the potential of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to contribute to IWM. We quantified the effect of crop and weed host status (strong and weak AMF hosts are divided in this study by a 10% root length colonization threshold), AMF diversity (single vs. mixed), and soil N and P fertility management on plant mycorrhizal growth responses (MGRs). Our results indicated that weak host weeds had consistently lower MGRs than strong host crops in both controlled and field conditions. Moreover, these differences in MGRs between weak host weeds and strong host crops were more pronounced under mixed AMF inoculum and low N and P nutrient availability. In contrast, MGR of strong host weeds was not different from strong host crops in general. However, we observed a wide range of MGRs among strong host weeds, some of which had much lower MGRs than strong host crops. In addition, in the presence of N and P fertilizers, strong host crops had a stronger positive response to AMF than strong host weeds. Thus, our meta-analysis indicates that AMF have potential to contribute to weed control by direct and indirect pathways: directly suppress weak host weeds, and indirectly suppress some strong host weeds mediating by competitive effects exerted by strong host crops. We suggest that management practices affecting AMF diversity and crop and weed mycorrhizal responses could be chosen to improve the contribution of AMF to IWM. Better understanding is needed of crop–weed–AMF interactions and management practices that enhance this form of weed management. Anatomy-based surgery to remove thyroglossal duct cyst: two anomalous cases T Iwata, S Nakata, H Tsuge, F Koide, M Sugiura, H Otake, M Teranishi, T Nakashima Journal: The Journal of Laryngology & Otology / Volume 124 / Issue 4 / April 2010 Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 December 2009, pp. 443-446 Print publication: April 2010 To review previous reports and to discuss the management of branching polycystic and giant thyroglossal duct cysts. Case report: We present two cases of thyroglossal duct cyst: one a branching, polycystic thyroglossal duct cyst in an 11-year-old boy, and the other a giant thyroglossal cyst in a 41-year-old man. Such cysts are rare. Both patients were operated upon according to the methods of Sistrunk and Horisawa, and both had a satisfactory post-operative course. We discuss the most important aspects of such cyst removal procedures. Our experience suggests that surgery to remove an anomalous thyroglossal duct cyst should be performed using a technique based on the anatomy of the hyoid bone region. Recent Advances of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells and Integrated Modules at SHARP Naoki Koide, Ryohsuke Yamanaka, Hiroyuki Katayama Journal: MRS Online Proceedings Library Archive / Volume 1211 / 2009 Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 January 2011, 1211-R12-02 Print publication: 2009 An equivalent circuit for DSCs was studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement, and the improvements of conversion efficiency of DSCs for not only single cells but also integrated modules were investigated. Further improvement of cell characteristics of DSCs was also investigated from the view point of modified TiO2 films and series-internal resistance design. The series-internal resistance elements were found to correlate positively with the sheet resistance of the transparent conducting oxide and the thickness of the electrolyte layer and negatively with the roughness factor of the platinum counter-electrode. The short circuit current density (Jsc) of the DSCs was effectively improved by use of a high-haze TiO2 film. In addition, the analysis of TiO2/dye interface by scanning probe microscopy and transient absorption spectroscopy were also useful for the study. As a result, the maximum single cell conversion efficiency of over 11% was obtained. Furthermore, an integrated DSC module composed of many rectangular cells connected in series was fabricated and the efficiency was increased to 8.4% (confirmed by AIST) by realizing high active area and high uniformity. Component growth efficiencies of mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal plants R. T. KOIDE, M. D. GOFF, I. A. DICKIE Journal: The New Phytologist / Volume 148 / Issue 1 / October 2000 Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 November 2000, pp. 163-168 Print publication: October 2000 Two mycotrophic species (Lactuca sativa and Abutilon theophrasti) and one nonmycotrophic species (Beta vulgaris) were grown in a P-deficient soil, and the effects of mycorrhizal inoculation on three variables that determine growth rate were assessed for each. The phosphorus-use efficiency (PUE, dW/dP) is the ratio of d. wt increase to P content increase. Plant P is the amount of P (the limiting resource) controlled by the plant, which can be allocated to various purposes. The phosphorus efficiency index (PEI, dP/Pdt) is the efficiency with which plant P is used to acquire P from the soil. Inoculated and control plants of a given species initially contained the same amount of P because all plants were grown from seed. Mycorrhizal colonization significantly increased the PEI of Lactuca and Abutilon (by 23 and 32%, respectively). As expected, mycorrhizal inoculation did not significantly increase the PEI of Beta. As a result, mycorrhizal inoculation significantly increased the P content of Lactuca and Abutilon, but not Beta. Mycorrhizal colonization decreased the PUE of lettuce, but did not significantly affect that of Abutilon or Beta. Mycorrhizal inoculation therefore slightly increased the growth rate of Lactuca, greatly increased the growth rate of Abutilon, and ultimately had no significant effect on the growth rate of Beta. Functional complementarity in the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis ROGER T. KOIDE Journal: The New Phytologist / Volume 147 / Issue 2 / August 2000 Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2000, pp. 233-235 Print publication: August 2000 The causes and consequences of biodiversity are central themes in ecology. Perhaps one reason for much of the current interest in biodiversity is the belief that the loss of species (by extinction) or their gain (by invasion) will significantly influence ecosystem function. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are components of most terrestrial ecosystems and, while many research programs have shown that variability among species or isolates of AM fungi does occur (Giovannetti & Gianinazzi-Pearson, 1994), the basis for this variability and its consequences to the function of communities and ecosystems remains largely unexplored. Smith et al. (pp. 357–366 in this issue) now show clearly that ecologically significant functional diversity exists among AM fungal species in the regions of the soil from which they absorb phosphate, and their results suggest that such diversity may have significant ecological consequences. Soluble carbohydrates of red pine (Pinus resinosa) mycorrhizas and mycorrhizal fungi R. T. KOIDE, D. L. SHUMWAY, C. M. STEVENS Journal: Mycological Research / Volume 104 / Issue 7 / July 2000 Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 July 2000, pp. 834-840 Print publication: July 2000 In the field, the concentrations of several soluble carbohydrates in mycorrhizas of red pine varied seasonally. Fructose, glucose, sucrose and trehalose concentrations were negatively correlated with soil temperature, while myo-inositol and mannitol concentrations were positively correlated. The patterns for the concentrations of fungal carbohydrates (trehalose and mannitol) were consistent with their previously-reported functions. Trehalose may serve as a storage carbohydrate, accumulating during the winter when host carbohydrate is plentiful and when fungal growth is reduced. In contrast, mannitol may serve a translocatory role, increasing in concentration in warmer months when fungal growth is more rapid and when sporocarps are formed. The carbohydrates of six species of ectomycorrhizal fungi grown at room temperature and at reduced temperatures were also analysed to determine the extent to which seasonal variation in concentrations of fungal carbohydrates of mycorrhizas may be due to fungal acclimation to temperature. Variation in carbohydrate concentration occurred both among fungal species and due to cooling treatment. The variation due to cooling was relatively small, generally less than the variation among species, and less than the seasonal variation observed in field-collected mycorrhizas. This suggests that seasonal variation in the fungal carbohydrate trehalose in mycorrhizas could possibly be due to shifts in host carbohydrate supply rather than to independent shifts by the fungi in response to temperature. Production of a distinct pattern of carbohydrate concentrations by different ectomycorrhizal fungi suggests that fungal carbohydrates may be of taxonomic significance. This was further demonstrated using discriminant analysis of fungal carbohydrates. General-Relativistic MHD Simulation of Jets from a Geometrically Thin Accretion Disk Around a Schwarzschild Black Hole S. I. Aoki, S. Koide, K. Shibata, T. Kudoh Journal: Symposium - International Astronomical Union / Volume 195 / 2000 Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016, pp. 373-374 We have performed a 2.5D, nonsteady, general-relativistic MHD simulation. Initially, we assumed a uniform magnetic field, a geometrically thin accretion disk rotating at Keplerian velocity, and a hydrostatic corona around a Schwarzschild black hole. We have investigated the formation mechanism of gas-pressure driven jets expected by Koide et al. and found the strong dependence of jet velocities Lorentz factor of jets) on the ratio of the density of the accretion disk to that of the corona (ρ d /ρ c ), where γ2 j - γ j ∝ (ρ d /ρ c )0.75. Jets from Black Hole Magnetospheres K. Shibata, S. Koide, T. Kudoh, S. Aoki Recent general-relativistic MHD simulations of jets ejected from black-hole magnetospheres (for both Schwarzschild and Kerr holes) have revealed that (1) strong shock waves are formed in the accretion flow inside 3r s , (2) jets show two-layered shell structure consisting of a gas-pressure driven jet and a magnetically driven jet, the former being accelerated from a high-pressure region heated by strong shocks, and (3) in the case of a Kerr hole, magnetically driven jets are produced from the ergosphere by the effect of frame dragging. 12.1” Svga Wide Viewing Angle Tft-Lcds Based on Ridge and Fringe-Field Structures A. Lien, C. Cai, R. A. John, E. Galligan, R. Nunes, J. Wilson, H. Ifill Journal: MRS Online Proceedings Library Archive / Volume 559 / 1999 Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011, 275 We have recently proposed the ridge and fringe-field multi-domain homeotropic (RFF-MH) mode for improving viewing angles of thin-film-transistor driven liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) panels (4). We also demonstrated that the RFF-MH structures are suitable for high resolution desk top TFT-LCD panels (5). In this paper we demonstrated that the RFF-MH method is also suitable for the high-end large-area notebook application since it provides wide viewing angles with a high optical transmission. The ridge structure is constructed on top of the indium tin oxide (ITO) layer of the color filter (CF) substrate, and can be fabricated during the color filter process. The cell process of the RFF-MH panel is compatible to the conventional TFT-LCD cell fabrication process. It requires one extra photolithographic step; however no rubbing treatment is required. Effect of Side Chain Substitution on the Field-Dependent Birefringence in a Series Of Chiral Smectic a Liquid Crystals J. R. Lindle, F. J. Bartoli, S. R. Flom, J. V. Selinger, R. Shashidhar, B. R. Ratna Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011, 33 The field dependent birefringence and the tilt angle are measured for a series of four electroclinic liquid crystals. The zero-field birefringence decreased significantly and monotonically with the length of the siloxane side chain. For all four samples, the birefringence and the electroclinic tilt angle increased substantially with the application of a field. At 10 V/µm, the electroclinic tilt angle in DSiKN65 and TSiKN105 exceeded 22.5 degrees and the phase retardation due to the change in the birefringence exceeded a quarter wave. In all four liquid crystals, the electroclinic tilt angle and the field-dependent birefringence were shown to be strongly correlated, suggesting a common origin. Moreover, this correlation persists even at high fields where both processes undergo saturation. A simple orientational model, based on a distribution in the molecular optical axis, was developed to explain the large change in birefringence in the substituted compounds as well as the dependence of δn on electric field. Light Transmission-Light Scattering Reverse Mode Switching of (Liquid Crystalline Polymer/Liquid Crystal)Composite System Hirotsugu Kikuchi, Shigeru Kibe, Hirokazu Yamane, Tisato Kajiyama Conventional (polymer/liquid crystal) composite films exhibit the normal mode electro-optical switching, that is, the light scattering-light transmission switching upon electric field OFF-ON states, respectively. The “reverse mode” electro-optical switching, that is, the light transmission-light scattering switching upon electric field OFF-ON states, respectively, has been investigated for a novel type of composite system being composed of a side chain type liquid crystalline polymer(LCP) and low molecular weight liquid crystals(LCs). The polarizing optical microscopic observation and X-ray diffraction study revealed that the two types of smectic-like short range ordering were present in the (LCP/LCs) composite system in a nematic state. It was confirmed from electric capacitance measurements of the homogeneous alignment cell that these phases with different smectic-like short range orderings each exhibited a different value of threshold voltage. Although the homogeneous alignment cell of the (LCP/LCs) composite system was in a light transmitting state in the absence of an electric voltage, the cell turned into a light scattering state upon the application of an electric voltage of 5-15 V for the cell of 14 µm thick (0.4−1.1 MV" m−1). The reversible change from the light scattering state to the transmission state was observed after removing the electric voltage. The light scattering state of the (LCP/LCs) composite system upon the application of electric voltage might be due to the appearance of optically heterogeneous structure induced by the different values of the threshold voltage between the two types of smectic-like phases with different short range orderings. These phases might be in a phase-separated state with an optical dimension (several hundred nm). The reversible “reverse mode” electro-optical switching was realized for the (LCP/LCs) composite system in a nematic state in which the two types of smectic-like short range orderings were separately formed in an optical size level. Antiferroelectric Liquid Crystals from Achiral Molecules And A Liquid Conglomerate David M. Walba, Eva Körblova, Renfan Shao, Joseph E. Maclennan, Darren R. Link, Noel A. Clark Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011, 3 Until recently, it was an empirical fact that creation of a chiral liquid crystal phase required enantiomerically enriched molecules. In addition, to date known ferroelectric and antiferroelectric smectics have also been composed of enantiomerically enriched molecules. Herein are described the first examples of the formation of chiral and antiferroelectric supermolecular liquid crystalline structures from achiral molecules. In one case (apparently metastable) the liquid crystal structure is macroscopically chiral, with samples composed of heterochiral macroscopic domains: a liquid conglomerate. Voltage Creep in Holographic PDLC Gratings A.M. Klosterman, R.T. Pogue, M.G. Schmitt, L.V. Natarajan, V.P. Tondiglia, D. Tomlin, R. L. Sutherland, T.J. Bunning In holographic Bragg gratings formed by anisotropic photopolymerization of free-radical monomers, an electric field is required to switch the grating between a diffracting and a transmitting state. The voltage necessary to turn the grating completely off is defined as the switching voltage. In this work, we report on the gradual increase of this switching voltage with time after initial fabrication. The switching field increases approximately 60% over a seven-day period for a pentaacrylate/E7 material system. Using dielectric measurements, it is observed that the resistance of the cell does not change over time while the capacitance decreases. FT-IR spectroscopy was also used to explore the continued post-polymerization after fabrication of the gratings. Increases in switching field were observed for samples fully illuminated with light as well as those kept in the dark. We speculate that the rise in the switching voltage is caused by post polymerization of residual reactive moieties located near the polymer/nematic droplet interface. An increase in the amount of interfacial area generated by post-polymerization yields more surface area for the LC molecules to bind; thus a larger field is needed to switch. The Dynamic Properties of 5Cb Filled with Aerosil Particles Investigated by Pcs F.M. Aliev, M. Kreuzer, Yu.P. Panarin Nematic liquid crystal filled with Aerosil particles, a prospective composite material for optoelectronic application, has been investigated by static light scattering and Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (PCS). The Aerosil particles in filled nematic liquid crystals (FN) form a network structure with LC domains about 2500 Å in size with a random distribution of the director orientation of each domain. We found that the properties of 5CB are considerably affected by the network. The N-I phase transition in filled 5CB was found to be smeared out and depressed. PCS experiments show that two new relaxation processes appear in filled 5CB in addition to the director fluctuation process in bulk. The slow relaxation process, with a broad spectrum of relaxation times, is somewhat similar to the slow decay, which is observed in confined nematic liquid crystal. The middle frequency process was assigned to the director fluctuations in the surface layer formed at the particle-LC interface. The decay function describing this relaxation process is a stretched exponential (β ≍ 0.7). The temperature dependence of the relaxation times of the middle frequency obeys the Vogel-Rilcher law. Such a temperature dependence, accompanied by a broad spectrum of relaxation times suggests that the dynamics of the director fluctuations near the Aerosil particle-LC interface is glass-like. Effect of Composition on The Morphology and Electro-Optical Properties of Physically Crosslinked Liquid Crystals A. Schneider, S. Geppert, R.J. Spontak, W. Gronski, H. Finkelmann Addition of an ABA triblock copolymer to a midblock-selective solvent can, depending on copolymer/blend composition and the magnitude of block-block and block-solvent interactions, result in the formation of a physical network that is stabilized by aggregates of the incompatible A-block. In this work, an ABA copolymer with a nematic side-chain liquid crystal midblock is added to a low-molar-mass nematic liquid crystal (LC) in an effort to produce a comparable copolymer network and bind the LC matrix. This nanostructured system, designated a physically crosslinked liquid crystal (PCLC), may not suffer as much from the constraint-induced LC anchoring problems associated with conventional polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs). Results presented here demonstrate that hierarchical phase behavior must be carefully considered in the design of PCLCs. Electrooptic Characteristics of Polymer Stabilized Flcd: Application to field Sequential Fullcolor Display T. Takahashi, H. Furue, T. Miyama, M. Shikaday, R. Kurihara, S. Kobayashi Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) will be classified into miniature display, reflective type, projection type, direct view type, and holography type. All of these LCDs will be widely utilized in the coming multimedia network era. Along with this trends, in the first part of this paper we will discuss the social background of this research. In this paper we will place an emphasis on a polymer stabilized (PS) FLCD that is featured by fast response speed (40 µsec), high contrast (230:1) with grayscale, wide viewing angle, and high resolution (4001p/mmn). The PS-FLCD, which is referred to as Liquid Crystal Optical Diode owing to its strong asymmetric electrooptical characteristics, will be a promising technology for displaying a moving video image, and optical computing. Determination of Local Fiber Texture in Liquid Crystal Polymer by Electron Diffraction J. Taylor, M. Libera, M. Greeley The rigid chain microstructure of thermotropic liquid crystal polymers (TLCPs) permits an ordered morphology to form consequently giving these materials exceptionally high strength. X-ray and neutron scattering techniques effectively determine the semi-crystalline structure of TLCP but lack the spatial resolution needed to detect morphological changes occurring on sub-micron length scales. This research develops an electron optical technique to resolve the local orientation of LCP fibers at resolutions on the order of 100-300 nm. This paper outlines the essential elements of this technique and presents preliminary results showing systematic morphological changes of LCP fiber as a function of position across the fiber diameter. An Analysis of the Photo-Polymerization Induced Phase Separation Process in Liquid Crystal/Polymer Composite Films Toru Fujisawa, Masanao Hayasi, Hidetoshi Nakada, Sigeru Matumoto, Yuitiro Tani, Makoto Yada, Masao Aizawa We have analyzed the micro-phase separation during photo-polymerization in the liquid crystal/polymer composite films for a variety of light-control applications. The photo-polymerization induced phase separation process is remarkably affected by the reactivity in diacrylates and the fraction volume in liquid crystals. It is presumed that the nematic transition in a liquid crystal-rich phase and the reactivity play an important role to determine the morphology. Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals For Non-Display Applications W. Haase, D. Ganzke, E. P. Pozhidaev A brief review of non-display devises based on ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLC‘s) is presented. The development of ferroelectric liquid crystal materials and corresponding electrooptical elements for non-display applications have been considered. Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Resin Composite Materials Using Carboxylate-Alumoxanes as Cross-Linking Agents Cullen T. Vogelson, Yoshihiro Koide, Andrew R. Barrona Chemically functionalized alumina nanoparticles (carboxylate-alumoxanes) are used as the inorganic component of a new class of inorganic-organic hybrid materials. Lysine- or para- hydroxybenzoic acid-derivatized alumoxanes are readily prepared from the reaction of boehmite, [Al(O)(OH)]n, with the appropriate carboxylic acid. The peripheral organic hydroxides and amines of these carboxylate-alumoxanes either react directly with epoxide resins, such as the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DER 332), to form a hybrid material, or in the presence of an organic resin and hardener system to form a composite material. SEM and AFM show a uniform distribution of alumina nanoparticles within the resin matrix. The properties and cure times of the alumoxane hybrid and composite materials are distinct from both the pure resins and from a physical blend of the resins with traditional ceramic fillers. A significant increase in thermal stability and tensile strength is observed for both the hybrid and composite resin systems. In addition, both carbon fiber and carbon/Kevlar® matting have been successfully incorporated into the hybrid resin systems resulting in further property improvements.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0078.json.gz/line28

Soul Calibur A 128-bit behemoth that decided to do things its own way and deliver innovative experiences and stunning arcade ports. Greatly revered and reviled in equal measures, the Shenmue franchise cost Sega millions to make, while Shenmue II remains its most requested game. BestGamesMag Team. Resident Evil Code: Veronica While Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike is easily the superior fighter, we’ve given the beat-’em-up slot to Soul Calibur because Namco went above and beyond the call of duty with its actual conversion. In case you missed them, I’ve already covered the 30 best DS games and 30 best GameCube games. We now have all games… It looked amazing , and while actually controlling Sonic wasn’t as elegant as in 2D—something later 3D Sonic games would continue to struggle with—for 2001 this thing was one hell of an achievement. There’s a slew of great shoot-’em-ups on the Dreamcast, but not one of them can touch the sheer elegance of Ikaruga. Continue Reading . Add to this the fact that each and every character you meet is larger than life in a way that only the best RPGs can manage, and you have yourself a beautifully immersive title. Phantasy Star Online We absolutely adore Skies Of Arcadia. Released: 2000 There’s a common and persistent belief that the 3D Sonic games suck, but to buy into that theory requires ignoring Sonic Adventure, the best-selling Dreamcast game of all time. Retro Gamer is part of Future plc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. Part simulator, part arcade racer, Metropolis Street Racer was essentially the forefather to the now-popular Project Gotham Racing, and delivered a driving experience that few other games of the time could match. Arguably one of the greatest contenders for those many ‘Are videogames art?’ discussions, Rez pushes boundaries and mixes gameplay, sound and vision in a way that few other titles have been able to manage. With Sega, however, they have always celebrated their long legacy, with the perfect example of that being Segagaga. Some games may not be available in certain countries. Or visit the special The 20 best dreamcast games to continue reliving the old good times. Related Topics: dreamcast sega. The first of many ‘last ever’ Dreamcast releases, Ikaruga expanded on the duality themes that Treasure explored with Silhouette Mirage by having your ship flip between two polarities. Shenmue 1 & II The Dreamcast featured an astonishing range of peripherals during its release, but none could match the sheer magnificence of Samba De Amigo. We recently sung MSR’s praises in our top 25 racers, but this innovative racer is so special we’re going to mention it again. With its gaudy visuals and brilliant tunes that ranged from Quincy Jones’ Soul Bossa Nova, to a bizarre take on A-Ha’s Take On Me, Samba De Amigo proved utterly essential, even if the original package saw little change from 100 notes. A truly stunning game that needs to be in every Dreamcast owner’s collection. While you could absorb bullets that were the same colour as your ship, enemies succumbed quicker to opposing coloured fire, which presented a superb risk-and-reward system. Welcome to Retro-Sanctuary's Top 100 Best Dreamcast games. Following the story of a young air pirate called Vyse, Skies Of Arcadia is a wondrous adventure that’s set in a Jules Verne-inspired world where islands float in the sky and flying ships are the main form of travel. . Quay House, The Ambury, While Skies Of Arcadia follows the well-trodden path of many other games in the genre, it has been put together with so much passion and love that you can’t help but fall in love with it.

Prof. Marco Luise Department of Information Engineering University of Pisa, Italy Game theory for wireless communications and sensor networks The ever-increasing demand for reliable and ubiquitous high-speed data communications and environment sensing services calls for new challenges in the design and the optimization of wireless networks, which may benefit from the adoption of sophisticated signal processing techniques at large. Recently, game theory has emerged as an effective framework for the network design, since it provides analytical tools to predict the outcome of interactions among rational entities. This tutorial provides an overview of the relevant applications of game theory, focusing on state-of-the-art techniques for resource allocation. The main focus will be on noncooperative techniques, although recent advances in the field of cooperative game theory will be also included in the discussion to provide a different perspective in the class of problems. Marco Luise is a Full Professor of Telecommunications at the University of Pisa, Italy. After receiving his M.E. and Ph.D. degrees in electronic engineering from the University of Pisa, he was a Research Fellow of the European Space Agency (ESA) at ESTEC Noordwijk, the Netherlands, a Researcher of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), at the Centro Studio Metodi Dispositivi Radiotrasmissioni (CSMDR), Pisa, and an Associate Professor at the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Pisa. Prof. Luise served as an Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Communications and of the European Transactions on Telecommunications. He was the founder and first (co)-Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Navigation and Observation, and is now an Associate Editor of the Journal of Communications and Networks.

It’s Taylor Again (at European Championships) Back in the day when the Old Dart Coach was the Old Rodeo Guy the days around July 4th used to be called “Cowboy’s Christmas.” The name emerged from a string of rodeos around that holiday that could make or break a cowboy’s year. Now with darts a professional sport the PartyPoker.com European Championships could well be darts’ Boxing Day. If the premise is accepted, I hereby accept that The World Matchplay was dart players’ Christmas and welcome you to The Stadthalle in Dinslaken, Germany for Boxing Day. With £200,000 in prize money, including £50,000 for Phil Taylor, this tournament is a big deal, with 31 players fighting for £20,000 in runner up money. So from Blackpool, called the “Poor Mans Las Vegas,” the PDC tour finds itself in Dinslaken which is known for a harness horse race track and its’ wealthy neighborhoods (at least according to Wikipedia which, like Thai Lady, we know never lies). There’s lots of talk about “momentum” in all sports with some of it actually having some basis in fact. What is lost on many is that “negative mo” also has an effect. The “Mo” effect of course is lost on Phil Taylor as he cruised in the opening round 6-2 over Co. Stompe. Those carrying bad “Mo” into the first round were Paul Nicholson and Dennis Priestley who both went down 6-3 to Andy Smith and Simon Whitlock respectively. Scott Gary Anderson looked like he had “Mo” join him in the “Haggis and Kilt” set when he jumped to a 2-0 lead over Jamie Caven. Whoops. Caven then ran off 6 for the 6-2 win. This time of year could also be planting season in Dinslaken as seeded players Mark Walsh and Terry Jenkins escaped the fate of Mervyn King. Adrian “Baby” Lewis and James Wade were seeded players who got planted. Spaniard Antonio Alcinas had Walsh in his sights leading 3-2 with a 160 finish. Walsh came back to win 6-3. Jenkins took a 4-2 lead when Germany’s Andree Welge came back to level. Jenkins then took the next two in style for the 6-4 win. Barrie Bates definitely had “Mo” going with him as he jumped to a 5-nil lead over number 4 Mervyn King. The “Wee One” then held on for a 6-3 win. Adrian Lewis just didn’t show up going down without a whimper 6-3 to Wayne Jones, a quarter-finalist last week. For Lewis that’s two first round exits on the trot. But what a difference a week makes – at least for Colin Lloyd. After he blew an 8-2 lead to Kevin Painter only to lose in the Matchplay the ODC nicknamed Lloyd “Collapse Likely.” The ODC is now dining on crow, yes with Fava Beans and a nice Chianti, as Lloyd gritted it out for a 6-4 win over James Wade. Lloyd led 4-2 then found himself level. This time he did an Emeril and “Kicked it up a notch.” Michael van Gerwen, back from a broken collarbone, dispensed of German Tomas Seyler 6-4. Having better luck, local lad Bernd Roith did a job on Denis Ovens by the same score. That’s two first round exits in a row for the likeable Ovens. Scot Robert Thornton was embarrassed last week when fellow countryman Gary Anderson laid a 10-0 whipping on him at the Matchplay. Like Lloyd, he recovered from a “bad dream” for a 6-4 win over Mark Dudbridge. Both Jelle Klaasen and fellow countryman Vincent van der Voort throw darts with the same speed as the Gatling gun of old. “I think I’ll try to play slower now in every tournament,” was Klaasen’s plan. NO EYE DEAR if he did or not. What is known is that Klaasen was down 3-1 but came back using finishes of 92 and 142 for the 6-4 win. Both Klaasen and van der Voort live in the giant Dutch darting shadow of Raymond van Barneveld. He is and should be the darting standard for the darts-mad Dutch nation. “Oh sure they’re mad about other stuff also it’s just ‘you know man… like…’” A runner up last week in the Matchplay, Barney had to battle Andy Hamilton down to the wire to advance. In one of only two 6-5 games van Barneveld came from 2-4 down for the 6-5 win. This was a match where no one lost but someone won. Tied at 5 van Barneveld had the darts and an 11-darter later is was “Winner, winner chicken dinner.” The last match in the first round pitted “Rocket” Ronnie Baxter against Alan Tabern. In a Baxter match it’s usually clear from the outset whether he’s on or not. Like the little girl in the fairy tale “when he’s good he’s very, very good.” Of course when’s he not he ain’t all that bad either. The ODC noticed, sharp old guy he, that Baxter had jettisoned the orange shirt worn at the Matchplay that had trouble winning. Tabern took leg one then the second when Baxter missed a bull for a 167 finish only to have Tabern erase 141. At one point Baxter was down 4-1 a deficit from which no one had yet escaped. Baxter missed three doubles when tied at 4 to go 5-4 down. The Rocket would level finishing on 79 then take the match, 6-5, with a 126 finish on the bull. The second round, 16 to 8, was played best-of-19 or first to 10 whichever arrives first. The ODC ought to be a happy camper because only the Wayne Jones 10-4 throttling of Robert Thornton might have called for a “mercy rule.” This was the only match in that half of the draw where the winner out-averaged the loser. True fact. Terry Jenkins sent Simon Whitlock packing 10-8 after breaking a 7-7 tie. Jelle Klaasen found himself down 6-1 so did what all Dutch players do, he changed his darts. Must have worked as Klaasen got it back to 8-6 down after trailing 8-2. That was the wakeup call for Walsh who took the next two, closing the deal with a 128-heck for a 10-6 win. Ronnie Baxter was outscored by Wes Newton but still emerged into the next round with a 10-9 win. Baxter had been up 7-4 and then 9-6 only to find himself level at 9. “At 9-6. I was playing really well but Wes came back brilliantly with those three legs. Wes was pounding the treble but in the last leg we were both probably as nervous as you can get, and fortunately I got the win.” Baxter missed double tops first trip to the line before getting another chance and getting the double 10. Barrie Bates jumped out to leads of 2-0 and 4-2 when Jamie Caven got his scoring going to win 0-6. Caven would toss six T80’s while averaging more than 100 during that stretch. Colin Lloyd’s resurgence is now official. First he knocked out world #3 James Wade, now he scores a very good 101.13 in showing the door to Dutchman Michael van Gerwen, 10-6. It was as well played game as this year’s championships has seen. Lloyd was down 3-2 when, after the break he quickly ran it to 6-4 with three 14 darters and an 11-darter. Number #2 Raymond van Barneveld had a scare when German Bernd Roith built a 7-5 with finishes of 101 and 141. Barneveld would then run off 5 on the trot for the win with one of those legs aided when Roith missed three at a double. Phil Taylor could have had a scare except he’s “Phil Taylor.” Andy Smith and Taylor were tied at 4 when Taylor won 6 of the next 7 for the 10-5 win. Taylor’s starting to heat it up as he averaged 106.16 for the match as compared to 90.39 for Smith. No wonder he wasn’t scared – he outscored his opponent by 16 every trip to the oche. The oft-quoted Sid Waddell, calls darts “a funny old game.” He could also have added it’s a little fickle. Raymond van Barneveld found out how fickle when he went down to defeat to Wayne Jones 10-8 in the quarter finals. As in the previous round, van Barneveld fell behind but this time couldn’t play catch-up. Van Barneveld started with a 164-check to take the early lead which he would hold until Jones broke through at 3-2. At 7-6 Jones made the move going up 8-6 and then 9-7. Jones would get his 10th leg with a bull finish. Thank you very much. “It’s the first time I’ve ever beaten Raymond and it feels great.” Colin Lloyd laid a scoring and doubles display on Ronnie Baxter to the tune of 10-7. Lloyd had the advantage in scoring average 101.63 to 88.84 while hitting doubles on 10 of 14 chances. Baxter had the lead 5-4 when Lloyd finished on 160 to level, then punishing 3 Baxter misses for 6-5, then next making 116 go away for 7-5. Baxter got it to 7-6 only to miss three more doubles to fall behind 8-6. Lloyd followed that leg with T80 and then double 16 for 9-6. Baxter’s last shot was a 146-check for 9-7 but it was too little too late. Hey the black shirt could only get him so far. Terry Jenkins and Jamie Caven were locked at 6 when Jenkins produced a 161-finish to take leg 13 and a 7-6 lead. That lead would become 8-6 following a double 6. Caven made a great attempt in the next leg when he wired a double 10 on the end of a 140-close. The “Fat Lady” was singing. Jenkins now gets “sat in the chair” when the “The Power” is turned on facing Taylor in the semi’s. As is a familiar scenario, Taylor fell behind 0-2 to Mark Walsh then powering to a 10-4 win. For the three days work the loser’s in the Quarters will take home £7,500 which still beats the heck out of a 9-5 job. So quit whining. THE SEMIS There’s an old saying in vaudeville: “Never be the act to follow either kids or animals.” Both semis were knock down drag ’em out pier nine brawls so the final, which ended 11-1, didn’t really have a chance. Colin Lloyd, in his march to the semis, had taken out world #3 James Wade, then averaged over 100 in eliminating Michael van Gerwen and Ronnie Baxter. Wayne Jones eliminated world #2 Raymond van Barneveld. So both got no limousine ride to the semis. It was a match that went to the decider and in the end was decided by a missed doubles. An old story. Lloyd broke on top leading 3-1. Then missed a double for 4-1 but took two for 5-2. In the 8th leg Lloyd had a T80 and dart at double 11 to narrow his lead to 5-3. A 110 finish expanded the Lloyd lead to 6-3. Six doubles missed by Lloyd would allow Jones, to level at 6 with the aid of 4 T80’s. Jones squandered a T80 in the next by missing double 18 to fall back 7-6. The two then traded legs for 8-7 Lloyd. When level, Lloyd missed 4 at the double while Jones converted for a 9-8 lead. Lloyd would return with a 104-finish and then double tops for a 10-9 lead. Jones answered with an 86-close to force a 21st leg. The final leg was one of those that “could go either way.” Jones tossed 140 leaving 61. Lloyd next nailed two triple 18’s, leaving 14, but missed the double 7. Jones knocked out 61 for a spot in the finals with an 11-10 win Phil Taylor appeared to be strolling to a place in the finals when he opened a 9-6 lead over Terry Jenkins. After they were level at 4, Taylor opened up, leading 7-5 and 9-6. Jenkins then got three on the trot including a 122 bull finish against the darts to pull level at 9. Jenkins then missed the bull to take the lead allowing Taylor to use three darts to take out double 16 for a 10-9 lead. Jenkins tied it once again at 10 with a 71-close. Two things usually happen at this point: “Phil Taylor is Phil Taylor” and “The opponent isn’t.” Taylor led off with a 177 which Jenkins feebly answered with 21. Taylor then followed up with 82-137 to leave 105 which he took out with double 16. The less written about the finals is probably best. Phil Taylor won it 11-1 which may not necessarily mean that Wayne Jones played bad. He was outscored 105.74 to 94.69 which, if you’re hitting doubles, is impossible to overcome. On the bright side, Wayne Jones gets a nice £20,000 pay day. For once the three-time PartyPoker.net European Champ wasn’t “over the moon.” “While the World Matchplay is one game a day, this is one of the hardest tournaments to win because you’ve got tough short matches early on and three games in one day to win it. You have to be mentally and physically fit as well as playing well and I loved every minute of it.” A win will do that for a guy. ODC OVER THE MOON The Old Dart Coach is pulling a Phil Taylor: he’s “over the moon” with an organization called the West Coast Darts Association (WCDA). Within the last month the ODC has bemoaned the fact that there are no PDC-style tournament in the USA. In steps the WCDA with a “pro” style tournament at Bozo’s Bandwagon in Fairfield California – a waterhole well known to the ODC as he used to play out of there back in the day. When his team left for greener pastures beer sales dropped precipitously. The date is August 14th with the tournament open only to the first 32 paid. The format is groups of 4, round robin, best of 11 legs, 501.

HOME » www rbc banque royale » Rbc peel Rbc peel gurukulam haridawar Canadian woman of Egyptian descent is suing Royal Bank of Canada and the Peel Regional Police for violating her Charter rights after she was detained and labelled a criminal while trying to withdraw money from one of her own bank accounts, according to her statement of claim. Peel Police confirmed the lawsuit but a spokesperson said the police would not comment on the matter as it was before the courts. 24 at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice alleges the bank and the police treated Dana Ramadan, 31, differently “solely because she was a Muslim, Middle Eastern POC (Person of Colour)” and accuses them of inflicting mental distress. It also accuses the bank of slander for allegedly telling the police she was a criminal. It further accuses the bank employees of “holding a discriminatory belief” based on Ramadan’s identity that “she was potentially engaging in a terrorist activity.” RBC denies those allegations. In a statement to the Star an RBC spokesperson said, “We understand this has been a difficult situation and we apologized to Ms. Ramadan is a Toronto businesswoman who had two business accounts at RBC; one a solo account for her financial consulting company, the other a joint account with a partner for their mortgage brokerage firm. Ramadan for any inconvenience our extra due diligence caused her. Ramadan told the Star she went to an RBC branch the morning of Feb. We take any allegations of discrimination seriously and our actions were intended to protect our client from potential fraud.” The allegations have not been proven in court. 14, 2019 to withdraw $10,000 from her solo business account. It was not unusual for Ramadan to withdraw sums in the thousands of dollars from her accounts with RBC in years past, she said. Later that day, around 4.20 p.m., she went to another RBC branch, this one in Mississauga where her office is, to withdraw the remaining $6,000. She said she took her debit card and the same passport, left her purse in her car and went in. When she got there, she said, she was told the branch didn’t have that amount of cash but that she could withdraw $4,000. She showed her Quebec licence, which she carried because she used to go back and forth between Montreal and Toronto. There, according to Ramadan’s statement of claim, the teller told her a manager override was required for that sum. But because the address on it didn’t match the Toronto business address the bank had on file, the teller asked for a secondary ID. Ten minutes later the teller came back with a manager. When the manager asked for her ID, Ramadan handed over her passport. The manager took the passport and came back five minutes later and told Ramadan she would be getting the money. “I waited for what I thought were the funds,” Ramadan told the Star, “I’m just sitting there and all of a sudden, next thing I know a police officer puts a hand on my shoulder. I was so shocked, like what the hell is going on.” Someone from the bank had called the police asking them to detain a person impersonating an RBC account holder, who was using a false passport to commit a fraud, according to the claim. If the bank had been suspicious they could have asked other security questions or for other IDs, Ramadan said, but they didn’t. “We followed our established procedures to verify her identity,” its statement to the Star said. “When asked for supporting ID, she provided her passport. After she was unable to answer questions about the details on her accounts, security questions and provide further identification, we were concerned someone was attempting to defraud our client. After carefully reviewing the situation, we alerted the authorities to protect our client from fraud. Her identity was eventually verified and the transaction was processed.” Ramadan flatly denied this in an email. “RBC did not ask me any security questions about my account. Had they done so, I would have answered them all accurately, as they were my OWN (capitals hers) accounts that I set up. By February 2019 I had been an RBC customer for approximately 15 years. “At no point was I asked for any further identification by any of the bank employees. I had several other valid IDs in my purse which was in the car. I would have easily been able to go out for a minute and grab all of the IDs they wanted if they asked me,” she said. According to the claim, the police refused to let Ramadan go to her car to produce secondary ID. A police officer took “one look at the passport and says it looks fake,” she told the Star on the phone. I don’t know till this day why would he say the passport was fake.” Peel police have not commented on this case. She was escorted to a manager’s office in front of everyone, Ramadan said. I’m sure you can call some agency.’ ” During this time, someone from the bank called her business partner in the mortgage brokerage and told him an impersonator was trying to access their joint account, her claim says. Another unidentified police officer guarded the door “to prevent the plaintiff from leaving,” her claim alleges. After another 10 minutes, she says the officer told her, “I can’t verify the passport.” “I’m getting anxious. The bank denies this, saying they simply told the partner they needed to verify Ramadan’s identity. Ramadan would not have a Quebec driver’s licence.” Ramadan’s claim says the partner asked if he could speak to her to verify her identity but the bank refused. It alleges her partner ended his business relationship with her after this. At the bank, Ramadan said, police asked her many questions. It was only after she correctly answered questions about past traffic violations that the police began to believe her. The bank then gave her the $6,000 from her account and she went home. Rattled and upset, “I was treated like a criminal,” she said, but at least she was free. “After all that torture, it was all over.” Not so fast. Ramadan’s account of what happened up to now is the basis for her allegations of slander, false imprisonment and Charter violations (of unlawfully seizing her passport and searching it, arbitrarily detaining her, not telling her she had a right to a lawyer and discriminating based on race, ethnicity etc.). What she said followed next was the reason the word “terrorist” was used in Ramadan’s lawsuit. The next morning, she logged into her account to make an e-transfer. Even more strange, she said, the $6,000 transaction was not recorded. I was getting paranoid.” The transaction never went missing,” RBC’s statement to the Star says. That meant she had $6,000 in hand as well as $6,000 in the bank. It was put on hold as “a precaution during the interaction with the client. Due to a system limitation, the transaction had to be manually reconciled with bank records the following day and the hold was removed.” But Ramadan told the Star she made two e-transfers from that same bank account the night of the interaction with the bank. ” The phone conversation when someone from the branch called Ramadan back, which she recorded, didn’t help, she said. The employee asked her at least twice why she withdrew $6,000 in cash. “RBC policies and procedures did not require clients to explain the purposes for withdrawing cash,” her claim states. “RBC’s ongoing suspicion of the Plaintiff was grounded solely upon the Plaintiff being of Middle Eastern descent and being a POC.” The bank denies the allegations. “In my opinion, had I, a white “Christian” male presented a valid Canadian passport as ID, RBC wouldn’t have phoned the police, frozen my account, and questioned me the following day about what the money was for,” said Ramadan’s lawyer Christopher Murphy. In its statement of defence RBC said it was Ramadan’s own actions that led its employees to believe she was committing identity theft. It says she did not order the cash in advance and was “disrespectful and unco-operative” at the first bank; when asked for her local address, she told the employee she didn’t have to give it to the bank, that it was private. It says she was asked to leave after that first transaction and told her behaviour was not acceptable. The bank’s statement characterizes its actions as due diligence to protect its clients from fraud, but Murphy disagrees. Distilled into its essence, RBC’s defence is that Dana — a person of colour — became uppity when questioned about her valid ID, so RBC was justified in reporting her to the police,” Murphy said. “Rather than apologizing for their reprehensible conduct, RBC continues to blame Ms. RBC’s lack of insight into their practices should concern all people of colour who bank at RBC.” Ramadan is seeking $170,000 in damages plus loss of income and legal costs. She is also seeking “aggravated and punitive damages” from the bank employees and police officers involved, “in order to deter the defendants, or those similarly situated, from taking such wrongful actions in the future.” This case comes on the heels of another incident in the public eye where Maxwell Johnson, a Heiltsuk Nation man and his granddaughter were handcuffed and detained at a BMO branch in Vancouver when they went to open an account. In that case, BMO maintains there were problems with their ID that included an Indian status card and birth certificate. It accepts that the bank should never have called police, but that bank, too, denies racism was a factor in that decision.

The allegation is contained in a $21-million lawsuit filed against Evans, the Regional of Peel Police Services Board and all of the officers involved in the shooting on March 20, 2015 that left Suzan Zreik with a bullet lodged near her spine. Her statement of claim outlines her version of that night's events: it alleges officers denied her timely access to medical care, kept her parents from seeing her in hospital, and tried to coerce her into clearing Peel Regional Police officers of any wrongdoing. Zreik, then a second-year college student in police foundations, had been standing in her family's kitchen when a bullet pierced her family's window. Police had been responding to a call at a neighbour's home when they started shooting. In the statement's depiction of the events, it also alleges that investigators brought Zreik to the police station less than 12 hours after she was shot, wearing only sweatpants and a hospital gown, high on morphine and a with a bullet still lodged two centimetres from her spine. They were "trying to take advantage of her and have her agree to things on video while she was in a highly vulnerable state," the lawsuit says. The lawsuit alleges that when she was taken to hospital, police posted a guard outside her door and prevented her family from seeing her. "She assured my client that she would do anything she could to help her out and gave her a business card with a cell number on it," Zreik's lawyer, Michael Moon said in an interview Friday. told her he'd been ordered by the chief to take her to 12 Division to question her." Moon said the chief interfered in what should have been an SIU investigation in order to preserve the probe's independence. "To me it would suggest that the SIU had not been informed by Peel Regional Police about the seriousness or the extent of Ms. Zreik's injuries, which in and of itself is a breach of their statutory obligations under the Police Services Act." Investigators with the police watchdog did not interview Zreik until three days after she was shot. A news release sent out by the SIU on March 21 said they were investigating the fatal shooting of Marc Ekamba-Boekwa, who had been inside the Queen Frederica Drive home to which police were called on March 20. The province's civilian police watchdog sent out a subsequent note on March 27, noting that they were also investigating how the officers' actions led to Zreik's shooting. Zreik underwent surgery to have the bullet removed from her back in April 2015. She now walks with a cane and suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, the statement says. Josh Colley said he could not comment on the case when contacted Friday.

A routing number identifies the financial institution and the branch to which a payment item is directed. Along with the account number, it is essential for delivering payments through the clearing system. In Canada, there are two formats for routing numbers: An Electronic Fund Transactions (EFT) routing number is comprised of a three-digit financial institution number and a five-digit branch number, preceded by a "leading zero". Example : 0XXXYYYYY The electronic routing number is used for routing electronic payment items, such as direct deposits and wire transfers. MICR Numbers or widely known as Transit Numbers are used in cheques processing. It appears on the bottom of negotiable instruments such as checks identifying the financial institution on which it was drawn. A paper (MICR) routing number is comprised of a three-digit financial institution number and a five-digit branch number. It is encoded using magnetic ink on paper payment items (such as cheques). A Canadian woman of Egyptian descent is suing Royal Bank of Canada and the Peel Regional Police for violating her Charter rights after she was detained and labelled a criminal while trying to withdraw money from one of her own bank accounts, according to her statement of claim. Peel Police confirmed the lawsuit but a spokesperson said the police would not comment on the matter as it was before the courts. 24 at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice alleges the bank and the police treated Dana Ramadan, 31, differently “solely because she was a Muslim, Middle Eastern POC (Person of Colour)” and accuses them of inflicting mental distress. It also accuses the bank of slander for allegedly telling the police she was a criminal. It further accuses the bank employees of “holding a discriminatory belief” based on Ramadan’s identity that “she was potentially engaging in a terrorist activity.”RBC denies those allegations. In a statement to the Star an RBC spokesperson said, “We understand this has been a difficult situation and we apologized to Ms. Ramadan is a Toronto businesswoman who had two business accounts at RBC; one a solo account for her financial consulting company, the other a joint account with a partner for their mortgage brokerage firm. Ramadan for any inconvenience our extra due diligence caused her. Ramadan told the Star she went to an RBC branch the morning of Feb. We take any allegations of discrimination seriously and our actions were intended to protect our client from potential fraud.”The allegations have not been proven in court. 14, 2019 to withdraw $10,000 from her solo business account. It was not unusual for Ramadan to withdraw sums in the thousands of dollars from her accounts with RBC in years past, she said. Later that day, around 4.20 p.m., she went to another RBC branch, this one in Mississauga where her office is, to withdraw the remaining $6,000. She said she took her debit card and the same passport, left her purse in her car and went in. When she got there, she said, she was told the branch didn’t have that amount of cash but that she could withdraw $4,000. She showed her Quebec licence, which she carried because she used to go back and forth between Montreal and Toronto. There, according to Ramadan’s statement of claim, the teller told her a manager override was required for that sum. But because the address on it didn’t match the Toronto business address the bank had on file, the teller asked for a secondary ID. Ten minutes later the teller came back with a manager. When the manager asked for her ID, Ramadan handed over her passport. The manager took the passport and came back five minutes later and told Ramadan she would be getting the money.“I waited for what I thought were the funds,” Ramadan told the Star, “I’m just sitting there and all of a sudden, next thing I know a police officer puts a hand on my shoulder. I was so shocked, like what the hell is going on.”Someone from the bank had called the police asking them to detain a person impersonating an RBC account holder, who was using a false passport to commit a fraud, according to the claim. If the bank had been suspicious they could have asked other security questions or for other IDs, Ramadan said, but they didn’t. The bank says it did.“We followed our established procedures to verify her identity,” its statement to the Star said. “When asked for supporting ID, she provided her passport. After she was unable to answer questions about the details on her accounts, security questions and provide further identification, we were concerned someone was attempting to defraud our client. After carefully reviewing the situation, we alerted the authorities to protect our client from fraud. Her identity was eventually verified and the transaction was processed.”Ramadan flatly denied this in an email.“RBC did not ask me any security questions about my account. Had they done so, I would have answered them all accurately, as they were my OWN (capitals hers) accounts that I set up. By February 2019 I had been an RBC customer for approximately 15 years.“At no point was I asked for any further identification by any of the bank employees. I had several other valid IDs in my purse which was in the car. I would have easily been able to go out for a minute and grab all of the IDs they wanted if they asked me,” she said. According to the claim, the police refused to let Ramadan go to her car to produce secondary ID. A police officer took “one look at the passport and says it looks fake,” she told the Star on the phone. I don’t know till this day why would he say the passport was fake.”Peel police have not commented on this case. She was escorted to a manager’s office in front of everyone, Ramadan said. Another unidentified police officer guarded the door “to prevent the plaintiff from leaving,” her claim alleges.“I was humiliated,” she said. I’m sure you can call some agency.’ ”During this time, someone from the bank called her business partner in the mortgage brokerage and told him an impersonator was trying to access their joint account, her claim says. After another 10 minutes, she says the officer told her, “I can’t verify the passport.”“I’m getting anxious. The bank denies this, saying they simply told the partner they needed to verify Ramadan’s identity. Ramadan would not have a Quebec driver’s licence.”Ramadan’s claim says the partner asked if he could speak to her to verify her identity but the bank refused. It alleges her partner ended his business relationship with her after this. At the bank, Ramadan said, police asked her many questions. It was only after she correctly answered questions about past traffic violations that the police began to believe her. The bank then gave her the $6,000 from her account and she went home. Rattled and upset, “I was treated like a criminal,” she said, but at least she was free. “After all that torture, it was all over.”Not so fast. Ramadan’s account of what happened up to now is the basis for her allegations of slander, false imprisonment and Charter violations (of unlawfully seizing her passport and searching it, arbitrarily detaining her, not telling her she had a right to a lawyer and discriminating based on race, ethnicity etc.). What she said followed next was the reason the word “terrorist” was used in Ramadan’s lawsuit. The next morning, she logged into her account to make an e-transfer. Even more strange, she said, the $6,000 transaction was not recorded. I was getting paranoid.” “The transaction never went missing,” RBC’s statement to the Star says. That meant she had $6,000 in hand as well as $6,000 in the bank. It was put on hold as “a precaution during the interaction with the client. Due to a system limitation, the transaction had to be manually reconciled with bank records the following day and the hold was removed.”But Ramadan told the Star she made two e-transfers from that same bank account the night of the interaction with the bank. ”The phone conversation when someone from the branch called Ramadan back, which she recorded, didn’t help, she said. The employee asked her at least twice why she withdrew $6,000 in cash. “RBC policies and procedures did not require clients to explain the purposes for withdrawing cash,” her claim states. “RBC’s ongoing suspicion of the Plaintiff was grounded solely upon the Plaintiff being of Middle Eastern descent and being a POC.” The bank denies the allegations.“In my opinion, had I, a white “Christian” male presented a valid Canadian passport as ID, RBC wouldn’t have phoned the police, frozen my account, and questioned me the following day about what the money was for,” said Ramadan’s lawyer Christopher Murphy. In its statement of defence RBC said it was Ramadan’s own actions that led its employees to believe she was committing identity theft. It says she did not order the cash in advance and was “disrespectful and unco-operative” at the first bank; when asked for her local address, she told the employee she didn’t have to give it to the bank, that it was private. It says she was asked to leave after that first transaction and told her behaviour was not acceptable. The bank’s statement characterizes its actions as due diligence to protect its clients from fraud, but Murphy disagrees. “Distilled into its essence, RBC’s defence is that Dana — a person of colour — became uppity when questioned about her valid ID, so RBC was justified in reporting her to the police,” Murphy said.“Rather than apologizing for their reprehensible conduct, RBC continues to blame Ms. RBC’s lack of insight into their practices should concern all people of colour who bank at RBC.”Ramadan is seeking $170,000 in damages plus loss of income and legal costs. She is also seeking “aggravated and punitive damages” from the bank employees and police officers involved, “in order to deter the defendants, or those similarly situated, from taking such wrongful actions in the future.”This case comes on the heels of another incident in the public eye where Maxwell Johnson, a Heiltsuk Nation man and his granddaughter were handcuffed and detained at a BMO branch in Vancouver when they went to open an account. In that case, BMO maintains there were problems with their ID that included an Indian status card and birth certificate. It accepts that the bank should never have called police, but that bank, too, denies racism was a factor in that decision.

A debut psychological thriller about a woman who moves with her family to the Gothic seaside house where her husband grew up--and where 15 years ago another family was brutally slaughtered. Sarah and Patrick are happy. But after her mother's death, Sarah spirals into depression and overdoses on sleeping pills. While Sarah claims it was an accident, her teenage children aren't so sure. Patrick decides they all need a fresh start and he knows just the place, since the idyllic family home where he was raised has recently come up for sale. There's only one catch: for the past fifteen years, it has become infamous as the "Murder House", standing empty after a family was stabbed to death within its walls. Patrick believes they can bring the house back to its former glory, so Sarah, uprooted from everything she knows, pours her energy into painting, gardening, and giving the rotting old structure the warmth of home. But with locals hinting that the house is haunted, the news that the murderer has been paroled, strange writing on the walls, and creepy "gifts" arriving on the doorstep at odd hours, Sarah can't shake the feeling that something just isn't right. Not with the house, not with the town, or even with her own, loving husband--whose stories about his perfect childhood suddenly aren't adding up. Can Sarah uncover the secrets of the Murder House before another family is destroyed?	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0078.json.gz/line120

The bad news is, there is zero incentive for those who don't already watch Station 19 to continue doing so for these crossover specials. The good news is, if you opted out of the first part of the two-hour crossover special, you didn't miss much, and Grey's Anatomy Season 16 Episode 10 was the superior hour by a mile. Ironically, that doesn't even mean this installment was exceptional by any means, aside from Chandra Wilson's performance. But it did have some strong elements that will make the rest of the season interesting. It's hard to say what Grey's Anatomy is supposed to get out of these crossovers. The entire two-hour special felt like an extended Grey's Anatomy installment with guest appearances by folks at Station 19 during Station 19 Season 2 Episode 18. But since the Station 19 people didn't appear in the Grey's portion of the crossover at all, should it be considered a full-blown crossover? The stakes weren't particularly high and barely clocked in as memorable compared to previous catastrophic and cataclysmic events. It didn't live up to the hype. If anything, the hour had the classic Grey's humor and heart we've come to enjoy over the past decade and a half. Jo's saga with the stolen baby was a silly storyline in the first place, but they resolved it much better than how they introduced it. Link: Jo stole a baby. Jo: I did not steal a baby. Mer: That's what I said when I stole a baby. Link: Why are people stealing babies? Permalink: Why are people stealing babies? Link was reasonably concerned about his best friend kidnapping a child, but Meredith treated the thing like it was no big deal, since she had a past of kidnapping a baby, too. Link's assertion that everyone should stop taking babies was enough to induce giggles, and Link is easily one of the best things to come out of this season. They were able to use the accident as a guise for why Jo hadn't gotten around to dropping off the baby, but she spent most of the time hanging out with the tiny human and Store Brand Alex. Look, there is nothing wrong with Cormac Hayes right now. He's hot, has an accident, and he's good with kids. He's unfazed by everything and everyone at GSM, and he mostly minds his business. Hayes: I've heard good things. Jo: About me? Hayes: No, but um... Permalink: No, but um... McWidow is a whole MOOD, but in the wake of Justin Chambers' surreptitious departure from the series, it's hard not to look at Hayes as, well, a Dollar-Store Karev. No one wants the generic brand when they could've had the name-brand, am I right? And it sucks how he has some familiar traits of Alex, and Mark and a little Riggs threw in there too. McWidow is quite likable, but in these uncertain times where he might have to unintentionally serve as Alex's replacement, and they'll utilize him for another tired love triangle with Meredith, it's too much. He and Jo bonded a bit while she was on baby duty, and at the risk of being flayed alive in the comments or elsewhere, they had fun chemistry. We know McWidow being someone's potential love interest is inevitable, so why does it have to be Meredith again? He shouldn't be with Jo either, but there are so many other options that won't feel as redundant or contrived. But while there wasn't much significance to the Jo scenes during this installment, it does show that she craves a child. What are the ways they can explain Alex no longer being on the series? One can't think of any explanation that will do the character as much justice as they can manage, but for Jo, a motherhood arc could be on the horizon. Brody: I'm okay. I want to help. Bailey: Brody, those are your friends. Brody: That's why I want to help. Permalink: That's why I want to help. It would give her a solid personal storyline without pushing her into a romantic entanglement of any sort. It's not the Jolex baby plot fans are/were hoping for, but it's a way of making it come to fruition in some capacity. She was drunk and sidetracked with the baby, so she missed out on the action with the other residents. On the one hand, the series might finally do something with the batch of residents they have, and they deserve it. On the other hand, it's frustrating how the series sidelines everyone who isn't Levi for the majority of the time and then throw something this huge at them and expect the audience to care. Teddy: He was in the military, right? Amelia: You think he has PTSD? Teddy: I think we all do. War. Life. Permalink: I think we all do. War. Life. Where it stands, four residents were significantly affected by the accident. A couple of them could have lost their lives, but outside of familiarity with them being around in the background for funny lines and moments, if any of them died, outside of Levi, it wouldn't have been a major loss. Bailey and Richard had to crack Helm open on the table, but her death would've been about how other characters would react to it. No one wanted to witness Bailey losing any of her ducklings again, especially after she just literally lost her baby. Levi was in no real danger of dying. For now, Casey will be OK physically, and his death would've been heartbreaking, but he is so woefully underutilized that it's not unexpected if many fans don't have a real attachment to the character. But Tom's protege Blake, whose name I didn't even remember, was the one most at risk of dying. It wouldn't have garnered more than a shrug. He and Brody (whose name was unclear for a bit too) seemingly appeared out of nowhere, at some point during the season. They expect us to care more about them than the show did in introducing them to us. Tom has an attachment to Blake. Tom pulled a Koracick move and believed in the kid so much he moved Blake and his grandmother to Seattle. It was a touching element meant to make us care about Blake more. The story also made Tom more endearing to Jackson and Owen, maybe. Owen: I do not miss that guy. Jackson: Nope. Brody: Altman could do so much better. Owen: meaning? Brody: Seriously? Altman is a badass. She's smart and skilled. And hot. Koracick is just like a creepy frat house uncle. Jackson: She has done better. She's with Hunt. Permalink: She has done better. She's with Hunt. But anyone who didn't know by now that Tom isn't a one-dimensional jackass with no depth isn't paying attention, so again, why are they still making it seem like Tom is the anti-christ, and how long will Owen and Jackson be children over Tom's presence? It's stupid; let it go, already. Helm never felt in any real danger of dying either, but maybe it's because of our chat with the lovely Jaicy Elliot never giving off that vibe. But she did have the bulk of the funny moments when she was high and confessing her love to Meredith. She also forgave Levi, and Meredith forgave him too. But again, why did Levi need to be forgiven for doing his job? It's ludicrous. Levi: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Mer: Schmitt, I forgive you. I have my license. I have my job. I forgive you. Permalink: Schmitt, I forgive you. I have my license. I have my job. I forgive you. Levi brought some of the heart as he cried in the supply closet in fear for his friends' lives. It suited him that he had Broken Heart Syndrome. The best scene of the hour was the group of residents in Helm's room at the end. For the first time, it not only felt like this batch of residents were as close as our favorite groups of residents over the years, including the original interns, but it was believable. They went through hell together, and they're bruised, battered, and a little broken, but they have each other. It was a cute and touching scene. But ironically, Casey was the resident with the most touching storyline with potential. He was a standout favorite a while back, but he fell to the background. Did the bomb go off? Permalink: Did the bomb go off? The accident and his head injury triggered his PTSD or PTSS, and he spent the hour thinking he needed to hide from a bomb. He ran away during a scan and hid, and Teddy and Amelia had to track him down. Teddy's dedication to Casey was moving. If you recall, she was annoyed by him during her pregnancy when he often worked alongside Maggie, so her fondness and respect for him as a fellow veteran was a lovely turnaround. We don't know much about Casey outside of him being a transgender veteran with killer hacking skills. The guy has a story itching to be told. Grey's Anatomy hasn't touched upon PTSD in a concentrated storyline in a long time. It crops up here and there with some of the characters after all of their experiences. However, they could benefit from diving into it. Amelia: I can do this without you if you want to go. Teddy: He's a veteran, and he's suffering. We send them overseas and we ask them to give up their lives, their health, their family, and when they get home, we don't even give them mental healthcare. Amelia: Owen. Teddy: And Riggs and Megan and me. Permalink: And Riggs and Megan and me. It has already gotten Teddy's attention, and it could rope Owen in too. But it'll also expand to his fellow residents. Of all the things to come from the residents in peril or experiencing repercussions, his was the most compelling. Teddy acknowledged trauma of her own when she was getting wrapped up in Casey. She also assumed Owen's trauma kept him from proposing to her. The comments Jackson made about Owen's love life were hilarious. But while Amelia was reassuring Teddy that Owen was trying to avoid repeating patterns, Jackson was getting into Owen's head that he should go for it. So, are you Towen fans excited about this engagement? After all of this time, Owen popped the question to Teddy. Owen: Teddy, this ring is my mom's. She gave it to me the day Alison was born, and I've been carrying it around in my pocket ever since. And I love you, and there is no perfect moment, and I am not a perfect man, but you are the perfect woman for me. So, Theodore Grace Altman, will you -- Teddy: Owen, no. Owen: No? Is it Tom? Teddy: Owen, stand up. Listen to me. You are not obligated to marry me. You do not have to do this. I want you to break the patterns not reinforce them. Owen: I'm not repeating a pattern. I'm staring a new one. Loving you. Loving our family, with my whole heart every day. That's my new pattern. I love you. I love you. Tedd. Marry me. Marry me. Marry me, Teddy. Permalink: I'm not repeating a pattern. I'm staring a new one. Loving you. Loving our family, with my... It wasn't a grand, romantic gesture, but he gave a great speech, and she couldn't say no. Maybe this time, his marriage will stick. It sucks for Tom, who looked like someone ran over his dog and punched him in the gut, but if it means the death of this love triangle, then so be it. Tom deserves better than this. It also prompted Amelia to keep the news of her questionable conception date to herself. In any other circumstances, lying to your lover about something this significant isn't something to condone. However, I'll freely admit I don't want to see Link hurt. We don't know if this baby is Owen's for sure. Link: So you had something you want to tell me? Amelia: Uh, I didn't want to know, but, um, it's a boy. Permalink: Uh, I didn't want to know, but, um, it's a boy. Link is so adorably thrilled about having a baby, and he's going to be an amazing dad. And unless that baby comes out with fire red hair and perpetual frown lines, I will happily stay in denial. Let Link and Amelia be happy with no drama, dammit! They robbed Benjamin Warren of the chance to be a dad to a child of his own; they will not do this again with Link. It's unacceptable. Bailey granted Owen and Richard rights to practice at GSM, and hopefully, it can last longer. Bailey needed Richard, whether she realized it or not. It wasn't about him stepping in during the surgery, but he can support her in ways others don't know how to, and Ben needs the support too. Bailey was on the verge of a breakdown the entire hour. Maybe Chandra Wilson had a cold, and maybe she didn't, but her voice alone was heartbreaking. She was hoarse, and it sounded like she was barely keeping it together. When Bailey stands still for too long amid chaos, it hits you how much she has endured and how many people she has lost. Right now, your friends need you, and they need me too. Whatever we're feeling we put it aside. We put it aside, and we help. Permalink: Right now, your friends need you, and they need me too. Whatever we're feeling we put it... She almost slipped up with Levi. She has a special connection with him, who reminds her of George but also herself. And the Bailey who stepped away from surgery silently and allowed Richard to take over is a woman who is aware of her limits. But that breakdown afterward was one of the most heartwrenching scenes in ages. It was enough to reduce a person to tears. The hour belonged to Chandra Wilson. She owned every scene she was in, every moment, and every word. She was a masterclass. Richard: Bailey, everyone is fine. Bailey: Everyone. Everyone. Everyone I touched today. Everyone I held in my hands, I gave to another surgeon to put back together again. Fine. To lose you, and Grey, Hunt, and Karev. Fine. I made that work. But this. This I --I am not fine. She isn't fine. And I can't even hold her in my hands or put her in someone else's hands or put her back together again, and she just was, and now she just isn't, and I can't do anything but stand here. Stand here and lose her. Permalink: Everyone. Everyone. Everyone I touched today. Everyone I held in my hands, I gave to another... Bailey has kept it together through so many things, and she got through it all fine, but she wasn't OK. Her miscarriage broke her, and she knew it. Remarkably, she was able to get through as much as she did -- the entire day of madness with her people in peril -- and didn't curl up in a ball and give in to her devastation. Bailey's strength and vulnerability during this hour -- oh, it's the Bailey we love. Warren: Thanks for coming. Richard: Thanks for calling. Well, she seems okay. Warren: She's not. She says she is, but she's working through a miscarriage. She hasn't had time to break yet. I can't be there in that OR with her, so someone else who loves her needs to be there. In case she breaks. Richard: Of course. Warren: Thank you. Richard: Warren are you okay? Warren: No. But Miranda comes first. Permalink: No. But Miranda comes first. Ben was the same, and Ben Warren is husband-goals. He didn't have as many scenes, but the one moment shared with Richard where he shared the load for the best of Bailey was all we needed. He's not OK either and admitted it, but nothing else mattered but Bailey. Why can't they be happy together? Outside of being lauded some more and doling out forgiveness that was unwarranted in the first place, Meredith was limited. But her final scene with Bailey, where she could sit in solidarity with her as someone who has suffered a miscarriage too, was beautiful. Process Server: Dr. Margaret Pierce, you've been served. Maggie: I'm being sued for wrongful death. DeLuca: Who is Sabrina Webber? Maggie: My cousin. Permalink: My cousin. Too much was going on for anyone to have a big reaction to Maggie's departure. It almost seemed as though she wouldn't make it into the hour at all. But then they threw a curveball at us with those final moments. For a second, DeLuca wanting to talk had shipper vibes, but sadly, he was there to talk about Meredith. And as if people not giving a damn about Maggie wasn't bad enough, she was notified of a lawsuit. Her uncle is suing her for wrongful death after her cousin Sabrina's death. DeLuca didn't even know anything about it, so does no one check in with each other at all anymore? Meredith didn't know Alex was in Idaho. DeLuca didn't know Maggie had a cousin who died under her scalpel. Communication is dead. But holy crap, how can Maggie bounce back from this? Where is this going? It could go so many different places. Over to you, Grey's Fanatics. Should Amelia have told Link the truth? What are your thoughts on Owen and Teddy's engagement? Did Bailey break your heart?

__label__cc	0.613605	0.386395	Prospectus for the Nation - it's time to Build Our Living History Centre in Prestonpans It's time to ask, formally, for the Nation's support to create our Living History Centre in Prestonpans. Since 2000, when Peter MacKenzie began his annual Battlefield Walks each September 21st, an ever increasing number of members of our community locally in the Pans, and much further afield, have campaigned for a permanent Living History Battle Centre in Prestonpans. The Battle Trustees have gathered together snapshots of the myriad activities undertaken since 2000 to make the 'formal' case to Scotland's Government at Holyrood, through the Minister of Culture and Historic Scotland. These are now formally published as the Trust's PROSPECTUS TO THE NATION - December 2010. The Trust is seeking �5 million of government capital investment at Prestongrange Heritage Museum that will go a long way towards [i] building a new circular pavilion for the Tapestry linked to [ii] the old Miners' BathHouse which will be restored to provide space for the balance of the Trust's ambitious plans. The Trust needs to raise an additional �2 million from private donors as well, and that Appeal has already begun. [Several thousand pounds have been collected as the Tapestry has toured the Highlands and East Coast and most recently at The Dovecot in Edinburgh.] A grand total of �7 million is ultimately required. Once the Living History Centre is created, economic feasibility studies show it has every chance of being self-sustaining from entrance fees and retail sales to more than 100,000 expected visitors a year - provided of course that it is of world class standard, which rest assured it will be. Hence the very substantial capital expenditure required. IF YOU DOWN LOAD THE PROSPECTUS LINKED BELOW YOU WILL SEE PRECISELY WHAT IS ENVISAGED The PROSPECTUS is a large, full colour, 38pp file so it will take a few minutes to download for many computers, but it's worth the wait. It is available: CLICK DIRECTLY HERE TO DOWNLOAD Hard copies of the PROSPECTUS are also available at The Prestoungrange Gothenburg on request there [closed Mondays]. The Trustees will welcome any and all comments ... so please be in touch. Our email address is: waukin@battleofprestonpans1745.org Many thanks to all our Supporters for fine support thus far. If you are able and willing to make a contribution to the Private Donors Appeal Fund which needs to raise �2 million, and/ or know 'likely' others, please be in touch via the above web address. Very shortly, an online Donations facility will be provided. All Supporters at this website will of course be notified. And remember, the Battle Trust is a Scottish Charity so any donation made by a UK taxpayer enables the Trust to reclaim the 20p/ �1 tax already paid on that donation.

__label__wiki	0.859862	0.859862	HERDSMEN ATTACKS CAUSING HUMANITARIAN, FOOD CRISES IN BENUE – ORTOM <<< By Jimin Geoffrey >>> Governor Samuel Ortom has stated that prolonged attacks on Benue communities by Fulani herdsmen are causing humanitarian and food crises which, if not checked, can result to famine across the land. He stated this today when he visited Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs in Abagena, Daudu and Gbajimba camps. The Governor said the continued displacement of the people could affect the next planting season which would lead to food shortage in the state and the country at large. Governor Ortom appealed to those in positions of authority and were capable of putting an end to the crisis to do so, saying the displaced children who were forced out of school could be those of anyone. While assuring that he would do everything lawfully possible to ensure the return of the displaced to their homes, the Governor expressed optimistism that God would rise and wage a war against the invaders. He promised sustained supply of food and non food relief materials to the displaced persons, stressing that medical attention would never cease in the camps. Governor Ortom said the visit was to reassure the displaced persons that they were not abandoned in their predicament and that everything was being done to ensure that they return to their homes as soon as possible. Executive Secretary of the State Emergency Management Agency, Mr. Emmanuel Shior in an address, appreciated the commitment of the Governor in catering for the IDPs, even as he called on the Federal Government to step up support in that regard. In their remarks, some of the IDPs told the Governor that though he had taken good care of them, they were eager to return home and continue with their farming activities, noting that there was no place like home. They however pledged their unflinching support to the ranching law and urged the Governor not to waver in its implementation. In his exaltation, Pastor Tom Igya who was invited by Governor Ortom to minister and pray for the displaced persons, urged Benue people to look up to God for help, saying nothing is impossible before the Creator. The Governor was accompanied by his deputy, Engineer Benson Abounu, Commissioners, Special Advisers and other top government functionaries.

__label__cc	0.617676	0.382324	City College Students Express Disappointment After Summer Session Canceled by Laura Hautala \| February 4, 2010 2:30 pm \| in News \| 1 In response to a budget shortfall of more than $12 million, City College of San Francisco has axed virtually all of its summer programs for 2010. Students who had been hoping to move forward with their degrees will be forced to take the summer off — or scramble for rare spots at other schools dealing with similar budget woes. “They cancelled the summer session?” responded City College student Tyler Morris. “I was going to take classes to work towards my bachelor’s degree.” Morris, 32 (and my co-worker), works evenings at an Oakland pizza pub and spent one recent semester getting up early after 1am shifts to take classes on airplane maintanence at an off-college workshop. After finishing his bachelor’s degree, Morris hopes to work in aviation. The cancellations come after many classes were cut from winter and spring terms this year. The lack of required classes pushes back many students’ plans for moving on to other programs an entire year. High school students will be affected as well, as City College’s summer programs have helped them make up missing credits and move toward their diplomas in the past. The Chronicle has the money quote from Chris Jackson, a City College trustee: “‘We’ll have a lot of young people out in the community this summer, and there won’t be any jobs,’ Jackson said ‘We’re going to have a serious situation. Summer is definitely when the violence happens.'” Community college budgets statewide have been affected by California’s fiscal problems.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0078.json.gz/line154

__label__cc	0.687041	0.312959	Home › Our Work › Digital Health Technology Hub AI-Powered Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) Software Community-Led Monitoring Solutions Diagnostics Connectivity Solutions Digital Adherence Technologies Accelerator for Impact (a4i) Re-imagining TB Care Virtual Innovations Spotlight What are Digital Adherence Technologies? Digital adherence technologies (DATs) are tools designed to support people with TB with taking their medications. Compared to traditional directly observed therapy (DOT), the tools allow for people to take their medications at a place and time that is convenient to them, while remaining connected to their health care provider. For health care providers, DATs can facilitate the identification of high-risk patients who may need additional in-person support. DATs have been deployed at both small and large-scale in different contexts with a growing body of evidence around them to support person-centered care in TB and have been endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO). There are currently several different types of DATs available, including three described in the WHO Handbook for the use of digital technologies to support tuberculosis medication adherence: Medication sleeves: Medication sleeves combine customized packaging and utilize free or low-cost interactions such as phone calls, SMS, USSD, or other messaging technology. Smart pill boxes: Smart pill boxes employ electronic sensors that can provide treatment reminders and that automatically log daily doses via a mobile internet connection. Video-supported treatment: Video-supported treatment utilizes a video connection between the person with TB and the health care provider to observe medication intake remotely. A function that all types of DATs have in common is the ability to generate a digital record of medication intake. When different types of DATs are implemented in a country context, all data is combined into a DAT platform. Health care workers can monitor adherence via a single user interface to support people with TB on their treatment journey. Aggregated adherence data at the country level contributes to a better understanding of the challenges people with TB face on their treatment journey across geographies and over the course of treatment. Integration of multiple types of DATs through a standardized platform creates the opportunity to use different technologies depending on which is more appropriate for a population, as well as to switch between them, without sacrificing the functionality and data utilization of the platform. Lastly, a single, adaptable platform will allow new types of DATs to be added in the future and establish linkages with existing national patient management or disease surveillance systems. TB REACH's Digital Adherence Technology Projects TB REACH funded 13 DAT projects for Wave 6. These projects are in 12 different countries across Africa, Latin America, Central Asia and South/South East Asia, target different populations, and using varying tools to promote and assess adherence to TB treatment. The DAT tools include 99DOTS, evriMED, video observed technology (VOT), and other technologies. The 13 different TB REACH DAT projects provide a unique opportunity to understand the use and implementation of DATs for TB treatment across different settings and contexts. Lessons learned from these projects will add to the global evidence gap for understanding barriers and facilitators to the implementation and utilization of these tools by persons with TB, providers, and programs. ·Feasibility: extent to which the DAT can be practically used in a setting (e.g., infrastructure, access to technology and networks) ·Acceptability: perceptions about using DATs among both healthcare providers and TB affected people (e.g., perceived ease of use, usefulness, satisfaction, and cultural and social acceptability) ·Accuracy: extent to which the data from the DAT platform accurately reflects whether persons with TB did in fact take their treatment doses. ·Costs: costs associated with implementing DAT projects (e.g., suppliers, resources, and healthcare provider time, costs to the TB affected person) Additional information about TB REACH’s DAT projects can be found here. Global DAT Taskforce To contribute to the further evaluation of DATs in line with the targets set forth in the Global Plan to End TB and the End TB Strategy, an optimal introduction and scale-up of DATs, and further innovation in DATs and supporting/enabling tools, processes and systems, a Global Digital Adherence Technologies Task Force ("DAT Task Force") has been established for an initial period of two years (July 2020-July 2022). The DAT Task Force will consist of a broad spectrum of country and global partners and stakeholders, including people affected by TB, country policymakers, academia/researchers, donors/funders, implementing/technical partners, information and communication technology (ICT) experts, among others. The coordinating body of this DAT Task Force will be the External Affairs & Strategic Initiatives (EASI) team at the Stop TB Partnership in Geneva, Switzerland. Additional information about the Global DAT Task Force can be found here. Virtual Innovation Spotlights on DATs In order to support country programmes, healthcare providers, the communities and people affected by TB and our partners during COVID-19, the EASI team and, as part of its Re-imagining TB Care initiative, organized a series of "virtual innovation spotlights" (VIS) to present and share various digital health technologies, including DATs, that could be used to: · Mitigate interruptions in TB services during COVID-19 and · Lay the groundwork to pivot TB care to become more virtual, integrated and on-demand.

__label__cc	0.625237	0.374763	How can the Internet support social change? \| Social Signal Dear SoSi How can the Internet support social change? Social media offers exciting possibilities for social change, not just through support of explicitly political projects like MyBarackObama or MoveOn, but through the restructuring of personal relationships, social interactions and organizational dynamics. Nonprofits and social change leaders were some of the earliest adopters of social media because its ability to engage supporters mapped onto their focus on mobilizing and deepening supporter relationships. That's led to a range of innovations and experiences, from Flickr petitions to peer-to-peer fundraising to transnational mass advocacy. But the social change potential of social media goes far beyond its use by political organizers, campaigners and NGOs. Individuals and organizations who use social media are subtly but profoundly transformed: in an atomized world, social media reconnects us to our communities, to one another, and to our own creative potential. From the most explicitly political online communities to the "frivolous" social networks that bring us back to our deeply social nature, social media is rewriting the rules for social change. Can Web 2.0 save the world? The coin is still in the air as to whether Web 2.0 remains a venue for freeform collaboration and creation, or succumbs to the drive to transform it into a rights-managed, closed-platform equivalent of cable TV with a mouse. But the potential is there. And I suspect the social web broadens the field of potential social innovators. Change status: Facebooking and Twittering for a new world Would you be a more effective agent for social, economic or political change if you could see the progress we're all making as a movement? Five ways to shape the soul of the Internet As the Internet structures or touches more and more of lives, our relationship to it becomes a powerful expression of our personal and social values, and a crucial opportunity for both personal and social change. NetSquared: Alex on social media and conversation as the engine of change What social media does beautifully is enable large scale conversations across many dimensions—across huge distances, across gaps in time (through asynchronous communication), across personal differences. Those conversations are really key to enabling change. Our challenge is fostering conversations that build social capital. Now downloadable: Hacktivism & The Future of Political Participation What makes people participate online? Alex's 2004 Harvard dissertation tackled this question by looking at the phenomenon of hacktivism: political computer hacking. Hacktivism shed light on the motivations behind online political action -- by pointing out that they look a lot like the motivations for any kind of online participation. OneWebDay makes issue of Net Neutrality front and center Whether it's Vancouver or Beijing, daily life or Olympic bustle, unfettered access to the Internet is democracy's best friend. Roundup: 50 suggestions for how President-elect Obama can use the Internet to govern In this post I round up a cross-section of the most intriguing ideas for how the President-elect can evolve his Internet-savvy campaign into Internet-savvy government. The Elders harness online campaign tools for social change Today there's a whole new set of tools that give regular citizens a role in advocating for human rights. Citizens don't have to wait to be invited into that role, nor do they have to find their way into a courtroom. They just have to pick up a cell phone, a camera, or a keyboard, and they can hold human rights violations accountable in the court of global public opinion. What robots in popular culture tell us about our technology nightmares Your Facebook profile page may not look a lot like Arnold Schwarzenegger, but it bears more than a metaphorical resemblance to the intelligent machines of our nightmares. What are the best examples of great online conversations and communities? How can I stay on top of all the blogs and sites I'm supposed to read?	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0078.json.gz/line165

The chromosphere, a layer between the photosphere and the corona, is a key to unveiling the mystery of the solar atmosphere. It is yet to be revealed entirely by observations because the chromosphere has complex structure and rapid variability. Therefore, radiation magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) simulations play a major role for understanding such a complexity, which is difficult to interpret physical processes. I introduce my recent publications on the effect of MHD waves associated with an isolated magnetic flux concentration (or a flux tube), which is anchored in the photosphere and extended over the corona. This is a classical problem which is extensively discussed in many literatures and probably the best example to understanding MHD waves. While all studies so far relied on inflicting driving forces in the photosphere, only a self-consistent RMHD simulation of the solar atmospheric layers from the surface convection zone to the corona can resolve the realistic nature of MHD waves. First, I present the generation and propagation of mostly slow mode waves, driven by magneto-convective processes in the deep photosphere and beneath it. This is so-called magnetic pumping process which generates slow modes that propagate upward and develop into shock waves in the chromosphere. The magnetic pumping is a robust mechanism for generating shock waves in the vicinity of strong flux tube at the chromospheric height and therefore it’s most likely to sustain the chromosphere. Second, I present the identification of torsional waves in the chromosphere and the corona. Vortical flows in the upper convection zone and the photosphere force magnetic field structures to rotate and thus produce so-called solar “magnetic tornadoes”, which extend into the corona. Unlike slow modes, large portions of torsional modes can reach the corona without suffering significant dissipation and therefore it’s capable of sustaining the corona. Third, I present the detection of physical phenomena in the flux tube by magnetic pumping imprinted on the spectral lines. Thanks to the rapidly advancing solar observations over the past decades, we will have an unique opportunity to grasp the quantitative nature of MHD waves in the near future. It will enable us to extend our knowledge of plasma into those of the other astrophysical objects. Finally, I will briefly talk about the future perspective on my research in the next decades. 04/24 Akihiro Suzuki (NAOJ)　Multi-dimensional modeling of supernova ejecta with a central energy source 05/08 Yoshiyuki Inoue (Riken)　Coronal Magnetic Activity in a Nearby Active Supermassive Black Hole 05/10 Keiichi Maeda(Kyoto University)　Progenitor Evolutions and Explosion Mechanisms of Type Ia Supernovae 05/15 Kyohei Kawaguchi (ICRR)　Radiative-transfer simulation for the optical and near-infrared electromagnetic counterparts to GW170817 Recent detection of gravitational waves from a binary-neutron star merger (GW170817) and the subsequent observations of electromagnetic counterparts provide a great opportunity to study the physics of compact binary mergers. The optical and near-infrared counterparts to GW170817 are found to be consistent with a kilonova/macronova scenario with red and blue components. However, in most of previous studies in which contribution from each ejecta component to the lightcurves is separately calculated and composited, the red component is too massive as dynamical ejecta and the blue component is too fast as post-merger ejecta. In this talk, I present our recent works performing 2-dimensional radiative-transfer simulations for a kilonova/macronova consistently taking the interplay of multiple ejecta components into account, and show that the lightcurves of optical and near-infrared counterparts can be reproduced naturally by a setup consistent with the prediction of the numerical-relativity simulations. 05/22 Kazumi Kashiyama (University of Tokyo)　The repeating fast radio burst and the young neutron star model 06/05 Doris Arzoumanian (Nagoya Universiry)　Observed properties of nearby molecular filaments The highly filamentary structure of the interstellar medium is impressively revealed by the unprecedented quality and sky coverage of Herschel and Planck images tracing the Galactic cold dust emission. These observations provide the required data to describe in detail the properties of the filamentary structures observed in both quiescent clouds and in star forming regions, where the densest filaments appear to be the main sites of star formation. The omnipresence of filaments in observations as well as in numerical simulations suggests that the formation of filamentary structures is a natural product of the interplay between interstellar shock waves, gravity, and magnetic fields. The detailed description of their observed properties is important to improve our understanding of their formation and evolution process. I will present what we have learned about the properties of the filamentary structures derived from Herschel dust continuum and ground based single dish molecular line observations, and I will discuss the observational constraints on the formation and evolution of molecular filaments. 06/12 Teppei Minoda (Nagoya University)　The effect of the primordial magnetic fields on the cosmic microwave background anisotropy The magnetic fields are ubiquitous on the astronomical objects, from asteroids to clusters of galaxies. The origin of these cosmic magnetic fields is unknown, however, while the magnetogenesis in the early universe (such as inflation, the cosmic phase transition, the perturbation evolution, and so on) might be able to explain it. Magnetic fields generated by such cosmological mechanisms are called the primordial magnetic fields (PMFs), and some papers have pointed that the PMFs induce the matter density fluctuation due to their Lorentz force, and also affect the gas temperature distribution through a magnetic dissipation, so-called “ambipolar diffusion”. We consider these effects and calculate the time evolution of the baryon gas density and temperature before the formation of the first stars and galaxies. And we suggest a method to investigate such primordial gas structure with the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropy. In this talk, I will briefly introduce the PMFs and its general formalism, and review some basic concepts of the standard cosmology and CMB physics. Next, I will talk about the effect of the PMFs on the baryon gas history, and finally show the calculation method and the results of my recent work (Minoda et al., 2017, Phys. Rev. D, 96, 123525). 07/03 Shota Notsu (Kyoto University) Possibility to locate the position of the H2O snowline in protoplanetary disks through spectroscopic observations Observationally locating the position of the H2O snowline in protoplanetary disks is important for understanding the planetesimal and planet formation processes, and the origin of water on Earth. The velocity profiles of emission lines from disks are usually affected by Doppler shift due to Keplerian rotation. Therefore, the line profiles are sensitive to the radial distribution of the line-emitting regions. In our studies (Notsu et al. 2016, ApJ, 827, 113; 2017, ApJ, 836, 118; 2018, ApJ, 855, 62), we calculated the chemical composition of the disks around a T Tauri star and a Herbig Ae star using chemical kinetics, and then the H2(16)O and H2(18)O line profiles. We found that lines with small Einstein A coefficients and relatively high upper state energies are dominated by emission from the hot midplane region inside the H2O snowline, and therefore through analyzing their profiles the position of the H2O snowline can be located. In addition, we found that H2(18)O lines trace deeper into the disk than H2(16)O lines since the number density of H2(18)O is low (Notsu et al. 2018). Thus these H2(18)O lines are potentially better probes of the position of the H2O snowline at the disk midplane, depending on the dust optical depth. Moreover, H2(18)O and para-H2(16)O lines with relatively lower upper state energies (~a few 100K) can also locate the position of the H2O snowline. There are several candidate water lines that trace the position of the H2O snowline in ALMA Bands 5−10. Finally, we have proposed the water line observations for a Herbig Ae disk HD163296 in ALMA Cycle 3, and partial data were delivered. We constrain the line emitting region (the location of the H2O snowline) and the dust properties from the observations. 07/10 Riouhei Nakatani (University of Tokyo) Radiation Hydrodynamics Simulations of Photoevaporation of Protoplanetary Disks: Metallicity Dependence of UV and X-Ray Photoevaporation Protoplanetary disks are thought to have lifetimes of several million yr in the solar neighborhood, but recent observations suggest that the disk lifetimes are shorter in a low-metallicity environment. We perform a suite of radiation hydrodynamics simulations of photoevaporating disks with varying the metallicity to study their long-term evolution and the metallicity dependence of mass-loss rates. Our simulations follow hydrodynamics, radiative transfer, and nonequilibrium chemistry in a self-consistent manner. Dust-grain temperatures are also calculated consistently by solving the radiative transfer of the stellar irradiation and grain (re-) emission. In the fiducial case with solar metallicity, including the X-ray effects does not significantly increase the photoevaporation rate when compared to the case with ultra-violet (UV) radiation only. At sub-solar metallicities in the range of Z ≳ 10^{-1.5} Zsun, the photoevaporation rate increases as metallicity decreases owing to the reduced opacity of the disk medium. The result is consistent with the observational trend that disk lifetimes are shorter in low metallicity environments. Contrastingly, the photoevaporation rate decreases at even lower metallicities of Z ≲ 10^{-1.5} Zsun, because dust-gas collisional cooling remains efficient compared to far UV photoelectric heating whose efficiency depends on metallicity. The net cooling in the interior of the disk suppresses the photoevaporation. However, adding X-ray radiation significantly increases the photoevaporation rate, especially at Z ~ 10^{-2} Zsun. Although the X-ray radiation itself does not drive strong photoevaporative flows, X-rays penetrate deep into the neutral region in the disk, increase the ionization degree there, and reduce positive charges of grains. Consequently, the effect of photoelectric heating by far UV radiation is strengthened by the X-rays and enhances the disk photoevaporation.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0078.json.gz/line173

Can you tell we really don't rate this programme? The basic setup is familiar. Ten artists, all amateurs, are set tasks by the show's retained experts. The artists' work is critiqued, and one or more will be eliminated from the competition. The person judged the best in the final will win a prize. The show is a transparent copy of The Great British Bake Off, particularly the travelling first series. Even the judges are Mary and Paul redux. The young, dashing, impetuous Lachlan Goudie is paired with the older, wiser, calmer Daphne Todd Obe. Daphne and Lachlan. Each episode contains three linked challenges, such as landscapes, the human body, or bread. Mary and Lachlan set an open challenge, where the players can use whatever equipment they like to draw their image. Then comes a "quick draw", they're given just a limited time to sketch something. And finally comes the "technical bake", er, the "forced media" – the artists are told to use charcoal, or watercolours, or whatever Daphne and Paul think will make good telly. The show needs a pair of presenters to be the Mel and Sue of our arts. They got Richard Bacon (gold Blue Peter badge pending) and Una Stubbs (dame of coffee adverts). Richard hides his considerable intelligence beneath a veneer of foolishness. His style is to ask the obvious question, and only then follow up with something more incisive. Dame Una is employed as a reference point for the older viewers, a cross-generation pairing. Richard and Una. The presenters are talented, but they're too similar to the critics. Richard and Lachlan are men of early middle age, Daphne and Una are ladies with more years. At times, especially when we're only half-watching the show, there's a battle to distinguish presenter from judge. Other elements from Bake Off are also present. Young Lachlan explains what he expects to see from the artworks, and gives tips to help viewers can improve their painting and drawing at home. It's a bit like the Paul Hollywood master class, but he's only able to give a little guidance in the moments allowed. According to the producers, the key element of Bake Off is the hypnotic power of a drawn-out process. Watching people follow a recipe is compelling television, whether shown in full over three hours or slimmed down to ten minutes of television. However well it copies other shows, The Big Painting Challenge fails because painting is not a process. It's a response to a stimulus. It says as much about the person producing it as anything. Caution: painters at work. Painting is not a process. Except when BBC Arts says it is. The judges go into each challenge with a clear idea of what they're looking for. They don't explain it well to the viewers – "we're looking for believable body proportions" is just words. Show us what you're after. Give examples. For instance, do they seek pictures that could be mistaken for a photograph? And if they do, what are they expecting an artist do that a television camera does not? Is it in the things left out, the detail omitted, the shadows changed? We don't know, the judges utterly fail to communicate their criteria. They don't even try to explain what they're looking for. The net result: their critiques come across as value judgements from a hidden book of ritual, one that only True Artists know. The judges are presented as True Artists, those who know the secret life of Art, something not available to us mere amateurs and dabblers. But "True Art" presupposes the existence of "False Art", it implies that some responses to stimuli are dishonest, manufactured, fake. We have a nagging suspicion: "True Art" is a myth, and The Big Painting Challenge perpetuates a falsehood. More painters at work. At best, the judges' opinions are idiosyncratic and constructive. At worst, they're peevish, high-handed, actually hurt some of the contestants. Yes, their judgements are foreshadowed before the challenge, and by the presenters' annoying interruptions during the challenge. We're sure that the judges honestly hold their views, but we cannot say that their reviews are based in any objective criteria. Almost in spite of ourselves, we find ourselves drawn into the world of Bake Off, tempted to wash the dust from the mixing bowl and try to make some more fairy cakes. Maybe this time they'll weigh less than Mavis Cruet. We find ourselves actively repelled from the world of drawing and painting. It's ruled by judgemental unsympathetic snobs, and our efforts are not going to meet their exacting standards, and that way lies rejection. So we get our retaliation in first, and decline to take part. The most magical element was Alnwick Castle. No, Victoria, don't hit me with that picnic table... As hard as it tries to be the next Bake Off, we find The Big Painting Challenge to be more like another show: The Apprentice. Eliminations are done on subjective opinions, the whim of Alan Sugar or Lachlan and Daphne, and not on hard evidence. It is possible for the series to be a farce, for Alan Sugar to have chosen his winner at the beginning. The show begs its central question, it assumes a certain world view (there is a "True Art", Calvanist pre-destination) and presumes it to be true. To be frank, we never want to see another episode of either show again. Not because it's incompetent television, but because we find the show's basic idea to be wrong. It's Debateable A series of short pieces somewhere between game shows and British politics. 8) The Great Biased Cake Off For this week's technical challenge, Paul O'Combe sets the bakers a precision task: make a perfectly level cake from a provided rectangular tin. The bakers have been issued with special heat-resistant strips, but they'll also have to contend with a rightward slant in the tins. Can any of our bakers make a level playing field? Has O'Combe forced them to lean in one particular direction? And, when he whips out his spirit level to measure them, will he castigate the bakers for making a slanted cake? Seven days to go. Five players have already booked their seat in the final. One will join them. Who's taking the mystery final subject? Mike Foden studied the Life and Work of Will Hay, an English comedian best known for Oh Mr Porter!. Mike won on 5 September with The Prisoner. 6 (1) tonight isn't the best start, but doesn't eliminate him. A few incorrect guesses will. Knowing that Podgorica was once Titograd, and the pop song "19", help to lift him to a very credible 17 (2). Iwan Thomas took The Bodyline Series. This was a cricket series where England went all out to beat Australia. These days, of course, England are just all out in Australia. 8 (0) keeps Iwan in touch – he won with Gram Parsons on 9 January. A good general knowledge befits the reigning Going for Gold champion, though he doesn't get the tie-in question for ITV's BBC The Voice of UK. 19 (3) doesn't feel like a winning score. Peter Russell had the Life and Work of Elizabeth David, she introduced Mediterranean food to the UK. 8 (0) his score here; Peter's win came with Portsmouth FC on 10 October. Here, he knows his Handel and the greatest hit of Grace Jones (the chat show host Russell Harty). Softly, softly, the score creeps up. Too softly: 17 (0) won't win. Hazel Humphreys was answering on the Life and Work of Mary Shelly. Answer quickly, pass quickly, reach 8 (2). It did well on 26 September, when she won with Les Dawson. The book Catch 22, Jason Donovan's "Any dream will do", and George Bush's promise to the black cab driver: "no new taxis". A few errors hurt her chances, 17 (2) the final. David Greenwood told us about the British Admirals of the Napoleonic Wars, Nelson and some others. 10 (0) put him in the lead, as he was on 21 November with Theodore Roosevelt. Ten will win it. Calmly, he ticks them off: Hove, the early career of Elizabeth Taylor, the hymns of Charles Wesley, songs from Evita. David passes the finish line with Bulgarian tennis successes, a suitably short list. In a short round, a three-point win is big: 22 (0). So the final line-up is set. As are the times. 9pm next Friday in England, 7.05 next Saturday in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and 8.35 in Wales. Semi-series final M: Chessmen v History Boys "I had dinner with Una Stubbs once." "Henry has worn the same shirt to every Only Connect show." "Nick is in the tenth year of a long-distance relationship." "Craig barged into Sophie Ellis-Bextor on live television." "Rob abseiled down a police building." Both teams have won three games to reach the semi-series final. The Chessmen get a bonus from recursive acronyms – "GNU's Not Unix" and so on. Pictures of things taking their names from first-person singular Latin verbs beats both teams. BBC2 viewers, welcome to Only Connect. Sets of 15 give two points to the History Boys, and it's three for the Chessmen on the expansion of supermarket names, like T E Stockwell & Cohen. Things represented by ____ (such as the year in Treasure Island) – a hidden name – just evades the Chessmen, but they're stumped by the music until the final moments – it's battles. One there, and a 5-2 lead. Definitions of "nascent", "ascent", "scent", "cent" given by the length of the words is a bonus for the Chessmen. Recycled plastics, ending with 1: PET, is worth two – they couldn't quite remember what 1 was and had to work it out by elimination. 9-2. Violin, viola, 'cello... String concerti are the music sequence – for violin, viola, 'cello, so ending with Concerto and Variation on Theme from 1000 Heartbeats. Bonus for the Chessmen, who get a once in a lifetime opportunity with the next set. A shotgun shack, another part of the world, behind the wheel of a large automobile, so it's "a beautiful house". Locations in the Talking Heads song "Once in a lifetime". 11-2. Who was Roman emperor in the "year zero"? Augustus, and three much-needed points to the History Boys. Largest settlements on each of the Channel Islands ends with St Helier on Jersey, home to The Mole. 11-5 to the Chessmen. On the walls, the Chessmen start with sons of Jacob, cycling through the five possibilities. There seem to be mountains, and cycling through five possibilities reveal them. Irish winners of the Eurovision Song Contest (Johnny Logan, Linda Martin, Dana Domestic, and Eimier Quinn. She won in 1996, you remember. You don't remember.) Words that sound like descriptions for animals is the fourth link. And the mountains? Second-highest on their continent. Ten points! Ten, well-earned, semi-final wall points! Lots of Brazilian footballers for the History Boys, and they avoid Pele – he's in a group of fire gods. The other groups are artists who painted the Last Supper, and types of chicken. Victoria pays tribute to Bill and Ted with a mention of "So crates." Most excellent! The team missed the Last Supper part. Seven points! After two lovely walls, it's 21-12 to the Chessmen into Missing Vowels. Twin towns goes to the History Boys by 2-1, and words using the top row of a QWERTY keyboard ends 2-1 to the Chessmen. They win vowels 3-1, but the Historys take Antarctic geography 3-0. The comeback is a bit late, the Chessmen have won it by 27-18. So it's farewell to Rob Hannah, Gareth Kingston, and Craig Element. Actual Viertelfinalrund, match 3: Bristol v Magdalen Oxford The third quarter-final match pits the winners from the bottom half's elimination match against the losers from the top half's championship match. Assuming (as seems very likely) the side from the top half wins, they're likely to face bottom half champions St Peter's Oxford, the easy winners of the first quarter-final four weeks ago. The match starts, as is traditional, at 0-0. After three starters, Magdalen has a 75-0 lead, and we're already writing "Game over". With the score at 120-20, Thumper sparks some interest from them next door by saying "Your bonuses are on Harry, Hermione, and Ron." Ducking the picnic tables flying his way from VCM, it becomes clear the bonuses are this week's appearance by Little Billy Shakespeare. The music round goes to Bristol, and the side mounts a comeback, closing the gap to 140-105 at one point. Is an upset on the cards? No: Magdalen go on to win by 250-115. This Week and Next They're ordering hard hats in Borehamwood, because there's going to be the party to end all parties. Big Brother will turn 18 on Saturday 14 July 2018, and now that it's of legal drinking age, it's promised to drink at every pub, bar, and club from Elstree to Watford. The programme says it will then "get off" with Primrose Everdeen, before spending Sunday nursing the big brother of hangovers. Or, to put it another way, Channel 5 has renewed Big Brother for three more years. The celebrity series will return each January and August until summer 2018. There will be an obligatory "civilian" series as well, but no-one cares about that. Democracy season continued with the RTS Programme Awards. Two game shows won: Claudia Winkleman took the Entertainment Performance for Strictly Come Dancing. And the RTS Daytime Programme of the Year is Couples Come Dine with Me. We'll adjust our billings. We were sorry to hear about the death of Shaw Taylor this week. The host of Police 5, and Rob Newman's favourite impression on The Mary Whitehouse Experience, Shaw Taylor also hosted some game shows. Tell the Truth, Pencil and Paper, Password, Dotto all gained from his style. The BBC has confirmed the new residents on Dragons' Den. They're Nick Jenkins from an insecure internet card retailer. Touker Suleyman is from an expensive fashion label, and Sarah Willingham runs restaurants. They'll be snarking at aspiring businesspeople later in the year. BARB ratings in the week to 8 March.

According to Clarence E. Hill, Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, running back Ezekiel Elliott has become one of the owners of the National Fantasy Football Convention.

In Game 6, Anthony played only 26 minutes, including just three in the fourth quarter. Anthony averaged 11.8 points in the series, shooting just 37.5 percent from the field and 21.4 perecent from 3-point range.

It also deserves its reputation as a beach vacation destination; the Western edge of the Mediterranean Sea is home to some of the world’s top beaches. But Spain’s geography is so much more than just soft, sandy shores. Its landscapes are as diverse as its people, ranging from lush meadows and snowy mountains to huge marshes and sprawling deserts. The countryside bursts with unspoiled villages of timeless beauty and old-world charm, as well as vast and varied nature preserves. Province of Alicante travel guide Beaches · Nightlife · Landmarks One of the country’s most prosperous regions, Alicante Province is known for near-perfect climatic conditions, arguably the best in the country, and a series of sandy beaches and seaside resorts ideal for a relaxing holiday. Despite the prosperity driven by tourism, modernity runs right alongside tradition in this province, and visitors are often surprised to find hamlets completely unaffected by the 21st century hidden in the rugged mountains of the interior. A region of contrasts, the province is home to a diverse population, including a huge community of Nordic residents who have found homes away from home in the small settlements along the coast. France travel guide Architectural Buildings · Art Museums · Landmarks France has been the world's most popular tourist destination for decades, and geographically, it is one of the most diverse countries in Europe. Its cities are holiday hot spots and contain some of the greatest treasures in Europe, its countryside is prosperous and well tended, and it boasts dozens of major tourist attractions, like Paris, the French Riviera, the Atlantic beaches, the winter sport resorts of the French Alps, as well as the castles of the Loire Valley, Brittany, and Normandy. The country is renowned for its gastronomy, particularly wines and cheeses, as well as its history, culture, and fashion industry. You'll find that the French people are very polite and may react coldly to you if you forget this. You might be surprised as you're greeted by other customers and the proprieter when you walk into a restaurant or a shop. Be sure to take your sightseeing off the beaten path in France. Besides the famous Eiffel Tower and the chic resorts of the Côte d'Azur (French Riviera) you'll find many places to visit in the form of museums filled with fine art, crafts, and archaeological relics, wonderful medieval villages and castles, diverse national parks, and local shopping direct from artisans themselves. Whether you're touring the Christmas Markets or going skiing during winter, viewing the springtime influx of color in Provence, sunbathing on the Mediterranean coast in the summer, or watching the fall foliage against the backdrop of the châteaux in the Loire Valley, you're sure to find just the right place to be. Spring is a time when the tourist attractions are just starting to expand their hours, but it may still be cold in the mountainous regions and the north. Summer is the busiest time in France with the longest hours for many museums and attractions, but it's often when you will experience the most crowds. Winter in France is filled with winter carnivals, Christmas Markets, and of course, skiing. Fall is a time to celebrate the release of Beaujolais nouveau wine in November, as well as experience Nuit Blanche, a day in October when major attractions, museums, galleries, parks, and swimming pools remain open all night. Landmarks · Ruins · Sacred & Religious Sites Italy is a land of high fashion, fine art, exquisite architecture, luxury sports cars, outstanding cuisine--and an insatiable taste for "la dolce vita." It's also home to the greatest number of World Heritage Sites in the world, making it an ideal place for your next holiday. The country boasts a varied landscape of mountain ranges, alpine lakes, and coastal towns, so it's no wonder travelers often refer to it as the bel paese (beautiful country). With so many places to visit, visitors often have a difficult time planning their itinerary. The smaller villages each feature a distinct character and a blend of architecture, art, and cuisine. In the country, you'll find countless archeological sites dating back to Roman times and beyond. The country's cities and seaside resorts are cosmopolitan powerhouses with museums, galleries, restaurants, shops, open-air markets, and pedestrian-friendly historic areas.

The optimum growth conditions of juveniles were dependent on the salinity regime in their original habitat. The young group of females from the marine site showed maximum survival at a salinity of 40‰, the value corresponding to the normal salinity in their native habitat during the breeding period, while at 30‰, the growth of juveniles from this population was strongly suppressed. Juveniles originating from the estuarine habitat were able to maintain equally high growth rates at 40 and 30‰; however, at 30‰, they grew significantly faster than juveniles from the marine site. The progeny of females from the intermediate habitat showed intermediate growth rates at 30‰. Fluctuating salinity (40–10–40‰) had an adverse effect on the growth of juvenile Littorina, irrespective of the parental habitat. The differences in survival, size, and growth rates of the progeny of L. scabra in habitats with different salinity regimes are discussed in relation to their potential adaptive significance to life in estuaries.

Posted on Mon Jun 30, 2014 by deeJune 30, 2014 "I am a former newspaper reporter turned church secretary turned vampire novelist. I wrote my first complete novel, 'Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs,' at night while I was working as the receptionist for a Baptist church. That was an interesting conversation with the pastor." -Molly Harper link Picture allegedly tweeted by Ligon Duncan's brother shows Al Mohler sitting with CJ Mahaney This is post 2 for today. Wow! This letter, allegedly written by Jeff Purswell, is popping up all over the place. Once again, in the span of a week, Dee is startled. Apparently, SBTS is breaking ties with SGM's Pastors' College. Remember, SGM is not Baptist although Mahaney and SGM have given @$200,000 in donations to the seminary. Also, CJ Mahaney has been vigorously defended by Al Mohler who CJ calls the "smartest man in the world." Dee is now seeking fans with lots of money!! Here is the alleged letter which was posted on SGM Survivors and Thou Art the Man. See if you can spot the eyebrow raiser. Peter Lumpkin should be having a cow at this precise moment. I have highlighted pertinent passages. Dear Brothers, I’m writing with some disappointing news. Southern Seminary has informed me that it is discontinuing the formal relationship between Southern and Sovereign Grace. This is a rather complex situation, and I’m unable to share all of the internal factors influencing their decision. Suspicions cast upon Sovereign Grace by the ongoing civil suit, and again by the recent Morales case, have unfortunately produced pressures upon various friends and partners of Sovereign Grace. Such factors appear to have played a role in this suspension. My conversations with Southern representatives were nonetheless encouraging—they are grateful for Sovereign Grace’s influence and for the pastors who are studying at SBTS, and they hope this continues. This change involves only the formal degree-completion agreement between our organizations. Here are the main implications of this development: •The key point is this: Future students from Sovereign Grace no longer qualify for automatic credit transfer or for an SBTS scholarship under the degree-completion program. •Fortunately, students who have already had their Pastors College credits transferred to SBTS retain those hours. •Students from Sovereign Grace continue to be welcome to apply to SBTS and may submit transcripts and request to have credits transferred from the Pastors College (or any other institution). These will be treated on a case-by-case basis, just like any other student. The status of the Pastors College as an academic institution from which SBTS will consider transfer credit has not changed. •Students from Sovereign Grace may apply for financial aid from SBTS. These will also be treated on a case-by-case basis, like any other student. •In sum, there is no longer a special agreement between SBTS and Sovereign Grace. Pastors College graduates may pursue degrees, credit-transfers, and financial aid like any other student, just not under the auspices of any agreement with SBTS. Officials at SBTS communicated that they want to do all they can to keep from penalizing current students who transferred credits from the Pastors College. They also desire to give students as much information as possible so that they can anticipate tuition costs. Moreover, they hope that Sovereign Grace students will continue to consider SBTS as they plan their academic futures. This is obviously a disappointing development. However, we as pastors should not be deterred from continuing to grow in our biblical and doctrinal understanding, whether that be informally or formally, through SBTS or another institution. We continue to appreciate SBTS and are grateful for the relationship we have enjoyed over the past couple of years, and it is possible that that relationship could be reestablished in the future. Even moreso, I am grateful for the blessing of the Pastors College and its unique mission to equip men for pastoral ministry within our family of churches. In God’s mercy, the college was built without reliance upon any single institution, and it will continue to be so. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or anyone on the Pastors College staff. JEFF PURSWELL SOVEREIGN GRACE PASTORS COLLEGE \| SovGraceMin.org Here are some information from Thou Art the Man. Quoting from Associated Baptist Press, Last November, Sovereign Grace Ministries announced the program allowing Pastors College alumni to pursue a master of divinity degree from Southern Seminary without disrupting their church ministry. The program allows transfer of up to 35 credit hours from the Pastors College to Southern Seminary, more than a third of the way toward the 94 hours required for the M.Div. in Christian ministry. Flexible learning options including online courses and brief intensive classes make it possible for Sovereign Grace pastors to complete their studies without moving to Louisville. (Peter) Lumpkin termed the program an “in your face, Southern Baptists” decision. He said paid denominational employees “cannot and should not be empowered to jeopardize either our entities or our name by forging friendly liaisons with people or organizations who pose probable liability to us.” I wonder how Sister Bertha, having given her money to SBTS to help educated some nice Baptist boys, would feel if she found out her money was going to educate some decidedly non-Baptist SGM pastors? Did you know that you do not need a college degree to go to Pastors College? Could it be that by simply transferring their credits from Mahaney's 10 month course, they can earn about 1/3 of their Masters of Divinity Degree? That is efficient. Maybe Al Mohler finally realizes that the people who are concerned with SGM are not concerned because Mahaney founded a ministry. Good night! No such accusation of direct wrongdoing was ever made against C. J. Mahaney. Instead, he was charged with founding a ministry and for teaching doctrines and principles that are held to be true by vast millions of American evangelicals.

May on Mon Jun 30, 2014 at 05:32 PM said: Absolutely astounding that trainee pastors from another denomination – who after training would leave and go work for that other denomination – were entitled to a host of special privileges not accorded to Baptist pastors. In what kind of world does this make sense?? What kind of weird power did CJ Mahaney have over Mohler and what has Mohler to say for himself now? Eagle on Mon Jun 30, 2014 at 05:35 PM said: The SBC needs to hold Al Mohler accountable. He needs to face some committees and be asked some hard questions. I wonder if this could affect the SBTS accreditation? The Sovereign Grace Pastor’s College was largely a sham. Many SGM and former SG pastors don’t have any college training. Correct me if I am wrong…but I don’t think Mark Mullery of Sovereign Grace Fairfax has one. Joshua Harris to my knowledge has no proper educational training. Neither does Eric Simmons, who doesn’t have a college degree. I personally have thought that this is why some SGM and former SG pastors keep things the way they are. They are trying to preserve what they have because they don’t have the educational and seminary credentials to go to many other denominations. But if I were a member of the SBC I would be asking questions. If I were an alumni of the SBTS I would be livid. I also find it odd how this news is coming out from Purswell. No statement from SBTS, no announcement, no decree. NOTHING! Good thing these guys don’t work in marketing and sales. @ May: As Deepthroat told Bob Woodward in an Arlington, Virginia Parking Garage during Watergate…follow the money. dee on Mon Jun 30, 2014 at 05:37 PM said: May wrote: Thinking the same thing Albuquerque Blue on Mon Jun 30, 2014 at 05:42 PM said: Could someone explain using small words why this is a bad thing? I don’t really understand why and I’m very curious. Worthwhile noting that a Baptist seminary professor, quoted over on Todd Wilhelm’s blog, feels this decision by SBTS has nothing to do with the Morales case, civil suit or cover-up, and everything to do with Baptist pastors giving off about the unfairness of the ‘sweet and special deal’ between SGM and SBTS. Nancy on Mon Jun 30, 2014 at 06:02 PM said: @ Albuquerque Blue: A president of a baptist seminary, who is himself high profile and connected in SBC politics, and who bases a large part of what he has to say in “ain’t it awful about (this sin, this politics, this idea) seems to have been cutting deals with some non-baptists possibly using baptist money donated for baptist purposes to do so. The bunch he has had this deal with is the same bunch who had the pastor recently convicted of sex abuse, and the same bunch under suspicion of covering up sex abuse. In addition to that, the details of the deal may have circumvented the academic standards of the seminary, since the transfer credits were given for courses which may be below seminary standards. @ Nancy: Nancy here is the million dollar question….did this affect the SBTS accreditation? That is what many people in the SBC and those currently enrolled in the SBTS need to ask. Do you think Duke University could do this? What about UCLA? Stanford? University of Wisconsin – Madison? Whiskey Tango Foxtrott. Look at what happens when it leaks out that a major university with a division one college football program bends the rules for an athlete! There are many more questions that need to be asked. srs on Mon Jun 30, 2014 at 06:18 PM said: Also, CJ Mahaney has been vigorously defended by Al Mohler who CJ calls the “smartest man in the world.” Dee is now seeking fans with lots of money!! While I cannot say for sure that you are the smartest women in the world, you definitely are not the dumbest. (But I have no money to donate…) Albuquerque Blue It has to do with transparency. Many, many people give money to Baptist seminaries because they are told this will go to training Baptist pastors. SGM is not Baptist and there are many who would not give to support SGM pastors due to the many issues surrounding those churches. I would have no problem if they said “Your money will go to accepting SGM pastors in order for them to get their MDIV. They will return to SGM and will not serve Baptist churches. My guess is that such a statement would cause a bit of a dustup. Transparency is always important. Also, they could be accepted with no undergard degree since that is not required by Mahaney who only got a high schol education and the Pastors College grad, which is not accredited, would be given 1/3 MDIV. Darcyjo on Mon Jun 30, 2014 at 06:27 PM said: Good Lord. As someone who had to sweat blood to get my MDiv at Duke, I’m just sitting here shaking my head in amazement. Taking credits from this “Pastor’s School” and putting them toward an MDiv, when any normal seminary REQUIRES an undergraduate degree to even be admitted? It’s insane. But I guess I should remind myself of what school is doing this. Sane isn’t a word I would use to describe Southern. And before the fundamentalist takeover and the presidency of Mohler SBTS was allegedly a top notch school, at least by baptist standards. With both Patterson and Mohler practicing, I hope, further mea culpas, and with the convention divided even if not equally, I am hoping that there might be some changes for the better in the offing. (I went to a school affiliated with SBTS back in the day. I kind of take it personally.) AmyT on Mon Jun 30, 2014 at 06:38 PM said: I am absolutely, thoroughly disgusted that such a program existed. As an SBTS alumna, I have tried to keep a low profile so that they wouldn’t be able to contact me for fundraising purposes. I am now seriously considering blowing my cover and writing a (signed) letter to the Board of Trustees expressing my incredulity and outrage. I arrived on the SBTS campus fresh out of undergrad, with a degree in Religious Studies (the program has now been renamed Biblical Studies) that included two years of classical Greek, as well as rigorous courses in Old and New Testament literature. At orientation, we were all told that we could not get credit for language and Bible courses taken during our undergrad programs, but we could take placement tests that would allow us, if we passed, to take advanced-level electives instead of the survey courses normally required for a master’s degree. I tested out of the New Testament survey and took two electives instead. I tested out of half of the Old Testament survey and took an “advanced” one-semester survey and one elective instead. When I sat the Greek exam, I was the first one in the room to finish, and then breezed through the sight-reading portion (1 John–one of the easiest NT books to read in Greek). The grad student who was administering the sight-reading portion said he was impressed and had never seen an examinee do so well. But when he asked about my academic background in Greek and learned that it was classical and not specifically koine, he placed me into the second intermediate semester anyway (I guess reading Philemon and Acts in my undergrad classical Greek classes–both of which are more difficult than 1 John–didn’t count for anything). On the first day of class, my Greek instructor asked us all to tell him about our previous Greek learning. After I told him what I’d had, he said he wished he could overrule the decision of the student (!) who placed me, but if I wasn’t feeling challenged, he wouldn’t mark me absent. All I had to do was turn in the paper and show up to take the mid term and final exams. I did so, and got an A in the class (which was doing Revelation–another easy translation). The bottom line was that my undergraduate Greek and Bible courses were way more rigorous than their equivalents at SBTS–and at no time did I ever have the option of having my credits transfer. And now it turns out that they’ve been affording SGM pastors–some without college degrees–just such an opportunity, for courses that are in all likelihood less rigorous than even their own. I just don’t know what to say. Adding insult to injury is this bit: “they want to do all they can to keep from penalizing current students who transferred credits from the Pastors College.” SBTS offered no assistance at all to the students who were enrolled in the School of Counseling before they closed it down. The SBC offered no (job placement or credentialling with another agency) assistance at all to the women whose chaplaincy licenses they suddenly and unapologetically revoked in 2000. I am glad this program is being terminated, but I am angry that it ever existed. /rant over (for now) I have got to agree…..the MDiv program at SWBTS was very difficult when I was there in the 80s. My understanding is the program is now watered down and this is just another example of the watering down at SBC seminaries…..allowing in people without college degrees to graduate programs to work on a masters? ( the seminaries have always allowed a program to train ministers, but no actual graduate degree or undergrad degree was awarded….at least it wasn’t when I was there…) brad/futuristguy on Mon Jun 30, 2014 at 06:49 PM said: Assuming what I learned in my extensive administrative assistant and special projects editing work at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary was systemwide related to internal procedures and also accreditation requirements, and that the Baptist seminary system has not substantially changed since mid-2000 decade: If you did not have a bachelor’s degree, you could not get into a master’s program, only a “diploma program.” Typically, the diploma program was very similar to the master’s program, minus the biblical languages and a few other courses. Faculty could potentially vote to give a diploma graduation candidate a master’s degree if he/she actually did all the required course work for the master’s degree, but that was highly unusual exception and was mostly (if not exclusively) applied to students who started seminary in their 40s or 50s and hadn’t gone to college in their 20s or 30s. In the decade-plus that I worked at GGBTS, I had 2 or 3 friends who were granted master’s, though enrolled in the diploma program. One was extremely capable as a student, despite having no bachelor’s degree, and has since gone on to earn a D.Min. and now teaches master’s students. There were strict procedures about substantial tuition reductions available for those with membership in an SBC church, because the funding for that reduction came from the Cooperative Program. Enrolled students from other denominations or no denomination had to pay full tuition. I suspect there are substantive guidelines for acceptance of coursework from other accredited institutions for students transferring into a master’s program. There are probably other technical factors on the Cooperative Program and on Accreditation that could come into play in the SBTS-SBC-SGM situation. All y’all can update my understanding if things have changed. It does occur to me that perhaps shades of President Patterson were over this decision, given the recent convention scenario dealing with use of Cooperative Program funds in ways outside the guidelines. Gram3 on Mon Jun 30, 2014 at 06:51 PM said: Beyond the cashflow from SGM to SBTS that you have documented here, the other thing to consider is the idea of “installed base” which is more than just current or past cashflow. Installed base means future cash flow and influence and power. It means personal loyalty that is sticky, even when the situation warrants abandoning that loyalty. Bill Gates understood this idea well early on. Installed base becomes a competitive advantage going forward. Of course, this all pertains to business, not to the church, I’m sure. 🙂 I don’t believe Al Mohler will have to answer for any of this because he already has a large installed base of supporters. The thread on this topic at Voices is a truly astounding and actually scary revelation of the phenomenon of blind loyalty to human idols. Why would anyone think this is acceptable? This also fits with the idea that this change is all about the possible loss of accreditation and the dilution of the value of a SBTS degree by all of the SGM guys. If you lose accreditation, then a lot of your installed base of support gets antsy and less sticky. And future students would be less inclined to attend SBTS. Maybe even the Board of Trustees would wince at that possibility if nothing else fazes them. Going into this deal, it might have seemed like a good way to increase the number of men with Mohler and SBTS loyalty by adding the SGM guys to the enrollment. But accreditation standards are not as subject to personal loyalties, so the deal ultimately would fall apart on the back end. Does anyone know how enrollment numbers were trending before this SGM special deal? And, does anyone know how they got around the bit in the Bible about not showing partiality? When it comes to the puzzle of what hath Mohler and the others to do with Mahaney, I think the answer is that the whole has greater power than the sum of the parts. They have different skill sets and control different market segments via different appeals and constituencies. The synergy of oligarchs, in other words. I’m open to a different model if somebody has a suggestion. It is a mystery. Gram3 @ AmyT: When you were there was there an undergrad GPA minimum requirement for admission? And whence cometh this weird idea that 94 hours of anything gets you a “master’s” degree? I had to do a 9-month taught postgrad diploma, complete with exams, which I had to pass with distinction to qualify for the second stage which was a 40,000-word thesis, to get an MSc in Information Management Systems fae the Cally * in Glasgae. And naebdy at the Cally imagines their alumni are duly qualified to speak for God. * Sunday name: Glasgow Caledonian University And finally for today, some late sporting news. As I am sworn off spoilers, and as one or more readers may be planning to watch the game after work or whatever, I won’t say anything about the score (beyond what I said before, that it was goalless after 45 minutes). But the Germany-Algeria game turned out to be arguably the best of the tournament so far, and that in a tournament that has had its share of top-class games. From the SBTS website, showing the differential between tuition for students from SBC churches that give to the Cooperative Program, versus students from other churches: Tuition for Professional Degree and Diploma Programs * Southern Baptist — $242 per credit hour * Non-Southern Baptist — $484 per credit hour Tuition for Master of Theology http://www.sbts.edu/current-students/files/2009/01/2013-14-Fee-Schedule.pdf SO — this potentially means that if SGM students were treated as if SBC master’s degree enrollees, the seminary got shorted by at least 50% of the tuition due, meaning the Cooperative Program basically covered the tuition equivalent of every other SGM student to go back into non-SBC churches. Huh. We’d have to know the full specifics of the SGM “deal” to calculate the actual percentages, but when May in her comment above suggested it was about the sweet deal they got, at the expense of the rest of the Southern Baptist Convention, there’s certainly something to that … One does wonder. Given those tuition figures, IMO the students did not get their money’s worth, based on what some of them believe (or did) if nothing else. And the degree does not qualify for most secular jobs. And add living expenses while in school. Who would do that? Patti on Mon Jun 30, 2014 at 07:34 PM said: I loved your rant. Thank for taking the time to write it. Tris on Mon Jun 30, 2014 at 07:47 PM said: I don’t know if anyone else commented on these two thoughts. One, as someone who donated money to SGM (yes, stupid in hindsight), I object to said money being passed on to SBC! If I had wanted my money given to the Baptists, I would have done so directly! What is wrong with CJ’s Baptist friends (Piper, Mohler) that they don’t object to his catholic leaning mindset about how the pastors speak to the people “FOR” God. That has always baffled me. I honestly don’t remember. I know you had to have a bachelors degree, but I don’t remember any specific GPA requirements. No GRE eithet, at least for MA/MDiv, but that’s not all that unusual. Tomorrow I can have a look at my seminary file and see if I saved any of the admissions materials. Brian Auten on Mon Jun 30, 2014 at 08:09 PM said: Eagle — Just to clarify, Mark Mullery has a degree from Fuller Theological Seminary. My understanding is the program is now watered down and this is just another example of the watering down at SBC seminaries…..allowing in people without college degrees to graduate programs to work on a masters? I wonder if this is one of the reasons why I met only a couple of Southern Baptists in my time at Duke Divinity? Numerous Baptists, yes, of many different affiliations, but only a couple from the SBC, and one of them a young woman who received a great deal of trouble for joining us to earn an MDiv with a concentration in Christian Education. Of course, if Southern Baptists go to Duke Divinity, they have to live with female classmates, as well as Methodists and Episcopalians. I’m thinking some of them might have a problem with that. 🙂 This was true in my day, too. I come from an American Baptist church, but had to pay double the SBC rate. I was OK with that after learning about the Cooperative Program, though. What rankled me more was the “God loves a cheerful giver” sign at the registration cashier station (obviously in the days before phone/internet registration). That example of SBTS “humor” was the first hint that I had entered a foreign land… @ Brian Auten: Thanks Brian!! I appreciate the correction!

It is a “bad thing” because the 9 month SGM pastors college is unaccredited. So a special deal for SGM pastors college students to transfer “credits” for masters level work is an outrage. SBC students do not get such a deal. They have to transfer credits from an accredited institution. And they have to have completed a bachelors degree first. Thirty five hours? I found that unbelievable. If I were a former, current or future SBTS student I would be livid. And here I thought Mohler was a scholar. Even as a political strategist he blew it on this one. But my guess is SGM pastors college students WILL be attending SBTS in some form or fashion. Mahaney’s son in law has a paid internship (he is not SBC), Bob Kauflin is partnering with the School of Worship, his son’s band does all sorts of paid gigs through SBTS and so on. They have already been given “special perks”.

SBTS once had a reputation for not only scholarship but it’s graduates were known for their commitment to SERVE others. Not to take over churches, institute authoritarianism and convert current believers to Calvin. But now the reputation is one of indoctrination and authoritarianism and some pulpit committees are wizening up and bringing in consultants to school them on language the deceiving “Quiet Revolution” type YRR Calvinists use to get hired and take over the church. It blows my mind it has come to this all because one man was given so much power not only at SBTS but in the SBC. Now, after all the damage that movement has done, the club they use to beat folks with is “unity”. Mohler is desperate for his definition of “unity” at all costs. Unity is a clever tactic as it means you have to forget all that has happened even though there is no repentance or real change. Unity helps Mohler keep power. Why would anyone want to unify with authoritarian charlatans who protect those who protect child molesters. Mohler was so determined to build the Calvin brand in the SBC he did not have enough discernment NOT to partner with the “Apostle” from the “People of Destiny”? Was that not a big enough cult clue for him? He partnered with a shepherding cult leader solely because they were Calvinist! And he was building the Calvin brand. He has been promoted as a brilliant scholar and very wise beyond his years. I think not. Mohler could not afford to have faculty that were independent thinkers and scholars. All those folks are long gone. Look what has emerged from there since Mohler consolidated power. Everything from Patriarchy as salvic, Mormonistic teaching on gender roles in heaven (CBMW), Eternal Subordination of the Son, one sided scholarship of the Reformation not to mention the lack of historical context of church history but also interpreting scripture! This list is long. Ever notice how Mohler hires young men in key jobs that have been indoctrinated are loyal to him then they are put in even more powerful jobs later as they are loyal to him? This has happened in quite a few entities and even a seminary now. There were MUCH MORE qualified people but Mohler’s power is that great in the SBC. He owns it.

Nancy on Tue Jul 01, 2014 at 09:40 AM said: Ah hah and ah hah. The local SBC mega, under the new calvinist preacher, changed its web “motto” to CalvaryUJnited. (The former preacher was also a calvinist and a Mohler sycophant and now a demoninational employee.) Anyhow, I kept wondering where that “united” came from. United to what? Were they a shambles before this? What is going on here? Did not know it was a rallying cry or whatever. So I guess they are now more united with Mohler than ever before. A sort of statement of re-committment maybe? (Waves of nausea.) @ Mother: Before Carver School was the school of social work, it was the school of missions and social work which had previously been the WMU training school. I attended Carver School as a missions major during the summers when I was in med school in order to work off required credits with an eye to being a medical missionary. Mohler trashed the school, after a series of confrontations with the philosophy (so I heard) of educating females for full time christian work in their own right. One interesting story, and one which I cannot verify, had to do with a statement by the then head of the school in which the topic of conversation was a particular Carver School student who announced her engagement to one of the seminary boys. Allegedly the head of the school said that the engagement was “a pity, because she had so much potential.” This comment was transmitted to the now fundamentalist SBTS with tragic results for her. Again, I know not what the truth may be. I tell the tale as “twas told to me. Bridget on Tue Jul 01, 2014 at 10:17 AM said: More likely united with Calvin and Mohler. I guess being united with Christ is no longer the ideal? To a lot of these guys, “Who needs Christ? We Have CALVIN!” P.S. “Apostle” from “The People of Destiny”? Doesn’t that sound like some grandiose name and title an egomaniac would come up with while admiring themselves in a mirror? Again, who needs Christ when you have CALVIN? You know, I do get the feel that their system of theology is in direct competition with Christ in the definition of who the “me” is in “follow Me.” Perhaps I am excessively jaded.

At the time I was there, there was a brief attempt to bring in SBTS professors to teach, if only for a couple of semesters. That ended when Dr. Dilday was fired. One was Perose St. Amant, who had been Chariman of the SBTS Church History Dept., and had been President of the Baptist Seminary in Switzerland. ( Dr St. Amant had three earned PhDs. SBTS, Edinburgh and Geneva…) He and Boo Heflin, J. W. MacGormann, the most amazing teachers I ever sat under at SWBTS….none of which would be allowed near a SBC seminary today…. Part of it is this…..when I was in the SWBTS, you pretty much had to graduate from the ” local” SBC seminary for a church to call you….SWBTS if you were in Texas, NOBTS in parts of Louisiana and S. Miss, S.

Who gets $6m for a church plant @ An Attorney: What we are seeing here in some courses in Bible colleges in the UK is a narrow focus on reformed theology which goes hand-in-hand with a fear of any other type of theology – it seems that anything that is not Reformed is labelled ‘liberal’ and avoided. Friends of mine studying for a women’s ministry course at our local Baptist Bible College have been told, for example, not to read anything by N.T. Wright. This frustrates the life out of me. Why be so fearful of theology? Why the need to control what people read, and have access to? The other scary thing is that people are just nodding and accepting this. The young men training for pastoral ministry are delighted to be taught ‘correct doctrine’ and leave it at that. So what we’re starting to find is that this doctrine is not actually preparing them for the rigours and demands of life as church pastors. They may have all the ‘right-on theology’ but they don’t know how to work with people. Or is it that they don’t have a love for people? acg116 on Tue Jul 01, 2014 at 04:38 PM said: Heard a good interview with a prof from covenant college. He talked about how seminaries that are connected to a broader university are good because you have learning from a bunch of different disciplines. In his case, he talked about eating with some profs from other departments, and he said something that was outside his realm of knowledge (this guy is a theologian), to which a psychology professor told him he was dead wrong (or something along those lines). The interviewee was thankful for that dynamic. Sounds like the polar opposite to the SB seminaries. Nancy on Tue Jul 01, 2014 at 05:00 PM said: What I don’t understand is why there wasn’t a greater uproar. How did he get away with it?? I am no expert here, but I was around before and during and after it happened. So let me throw out an observation or two and maybe others can weave it all into something. In the way back the baptists had been type A, let us say. This was how it was when I was young up to the time of the cultural revolution in the US roughly in the 60s and 70s. Then the baptists became type B. Type B was just totally unacceptable to some folks. That is when I packed up my family and departed. It was easy to blame baptist B, in part, on the seminaries who were turning out young preachers who were not solving the problems. It looked like they had too much education and too little religion. By the time that the battle for the bible people came along (baptist C) they looked pretty good compared to what had been going on. So along came fundamentalism, but it did not look like fundamentalism at first. It just looked like a pendulum swing back in the opposite direction. But over time things changed and people just hung around for all the reasons that people just hang around, and now a new generation has grown up who never knew anything different. That can’t be the whole story, but that did happen and is part of it. About the music. When I was little, growing up big church downtown baptist in Louisville, the music was piano and organ as classical mixed with hymns out of the old Broadman Hymnal. The school of music at the seminary was training people in church music like that, and perhaps other things also, but we never knew much but what I have just said. Under baptist B the sermon quality dried up and for a while the only teaching of any substance was in the hymns from the hymn book. Then music styles shifted, and with that the last substantive teaching in baptist B dwindled. Under baptist C, then there was a switch to the Baptist Hymnal and in that there were changes in the lyrics of some songs with some stanzas omitted if they contained a theological message that was not approved. The fact that editing was done and who did it was published in the front of the hymnal. So that source of theological ideas was brought into conformity with baptist C. One example, in the hymn “The Church’s One Foundation” the stanza which included “and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won” was omitted for theological reasons. I used to sit and entertain myself with tracking down the changes (I had the hymn book at home for my own playing purposes). Then, guess what, the school of music was gone. Maybe because classical organists do not make good guitar players? I really don’t know at this point. But for sure the music style now in baptist C is not remotely like what the SBTS School of Church Music was doing back in the day. And the preaching is not baptist A preaching, and quite a few of us who are not prone to hanging around pining about the bygone days have packed up and moved on. Thanks for your explanation. I take it C is for Calvinism? I believe that music was one tool used by the Young Restless Reformed movement to capture young hearts and minds. That and (perhaps surprisingly) alcohol. The YRR lot are cool with music that would never have been tolerated by the original fundamentalists – drums, guitars, bass are all okay. (As long as the lyrics are theologically correct.) Many young people saw these modern music bands and thought these guys can’t be traditionalist and must be quite cool. Secondly, alcohol. Mark Driscoll became famous for his love of beer. I have heard other Reformed leaders almost boast about how cool they are with alcohol and enjoy a glass of wine etc. To those reared in teetotal fundamentalist churches where alcohol was regarded as evil, this attitude seemed refreshing. It seemed like these guys couldn’t be legalistic. After all they drank alcohol and condoned rock-type music. Both music and alcohol are fine of course, because they don’t interfere with ‘correct doctrine’. It was only later that complementarianism started to be pushed. @ acg116: Don’t read N.T Wright?! Someone’s full of fear. I take it C is for Calvinism? No actually, not at all. I just used A and B and C for alphabet letters in succession. That is all. I am not sure how calvinistic, in today’s terms, the earliest stuff actually was. The C for Calvinism comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek. Just thought it seemed to fit 🙂 K.D. on Tue Jul 01, 2014 at 06:20 PM said: The music has changed so much in the last few years. Modern church and modern pop/rock music are so close, the classically trained musicians are not needed as Dr Nancy says. Play the guitar and yell and you’re good to go… My late father was an organist at the church I grew up in, which is a pipe organ, (there were more in East Texas than you would realize ) I should say, was, I do not think it is used anymore in that church. At one time, it was fairly high church in its music, but to try and draw the youth, they went to more of a 7-11 type music. My son has. Bach. Of Music and looked at a couple of seminaries for his MM, but quickly ruled them out. We both wondered just what they taught in the graduate music programs at both SWBTS and NOBTS…and I know NO still offers a DMA….not sure about SWBTS… I wonder what people who are looking into the music ministry in that area of the country do? Do they get a bachelors and call it even or are they looking for these people to now get a MDiv? Or a MM from a secular school?

Eagle on Tue Jul 01, 2014 at 06:37 PM said: I think when this movement started out it was much more moderate. I do believe it was in reaction to other parts of fundamentalism that demonized sex, alcohol, dancing, breathing, having fun and oh…yeah living to. Just going outside and enjoying a nice day was sinful and evil for some fundamentalists. So the Hyper Reformed come along and take a more moderate stance on alcohol and sex. The guys I knew who were caught up in Sovereign Grace and Acts 29 liked the movement for that reason. My beef is the following…why does Christianity have to get in bed and between the sheets? They don’t preach about gluttony and get between you and your Big Mac. They don’t preach about materialism and get between you and that new mansion that you now have. Alcohol became the means to attract people to this movement. I totally agree. And in the process they redefined legalism, and what fundamentalism is. You don’t have to wear a tie to church and can now wear jeans. You don’t have to limit yourself to fruit punch and now you can have beer. When I was into John Piper I was a sick fundamentalist but I didn’t know it. It was like when I was brushing up and looking in Mormonism in college….I was involved and flirted with a cult but I didn’t know it. It was only after I pushed back and walked away from Christianity for years that I saw how jacked up this movement is. The burnout that is coming for people is going to be severe. You had people who committed themselves to jobs and lifestyles that would not have done that otherwise. Their entire concept of “God’s will” and “don’t waste your life” was abused. I think we are starting to see that in the last few years with SGM Survivors and now Mars Hill. But I think things will unfold and it will get uglier. You are going to hear about women being raped because of patriarchy. You’re probably going to hear guys say, “I forced myself upon my wife and forced her to have sex against her will because John Piper says that I rule my wife and she must submit to me.” And with that John Piper’s teaching became the foundation for marital rape. One of the coming legacies are going to be destroyed marriages, and women. Plus you will hear about rape and sexual abuse. You are also going to hear about jacked up dreams, and professions. People who gave up opportunities to practice medicine because they felt like they had to be a missionary or pastor instead. People who gave up legal professions or forced their wife against having a career because John Piper said, or taught this, etc…. My prediction is the following…the in a number of years the leaders in the atheist movement, the next generation of Dan Barkers or Bart Ehman’s are going to be former John Piper, Mark Driscoll followers. I just looked and SETBS is also getting rid of their music program…..well, letting those students who started, complete their degree…. http://www.brnow.org/News/November-2013/Southeastern-seminary-changes-music-degrees @ OutOfBabylon: Deebs, and others….I am going to go out on a limb and propose a theory. Remember this is just a theory after watching fundagelcalism these past few years. I think in the end we are going to learn that CJ Mahaney corrupted and bought friendships and relationships through money. There was the proof that the Deebs found of CJ Mahaney giving money to the SBTS. Then on Survivors it was revealed how CJ Mahaney bankrolled Wayne Grudam and his salary while he stopped teaching and worked on the ESV for Crossway. But I think that’s the tip of the iceberg. I’m going to bet that in the course of time CJ Mahaney purchased the loyalty of Kevin De Young, DA Carson, Mark Dever, Ray Outland, The Gospel Coalition, etc… Since some of these people were bought with a price and I bet they feel loyal to defend him no matter what comes…child sex abuse lawsuit, allegations of running a shepherding cult, etc… Money talks and for many of these people its all about business. For CJ Mahaney…Sovereign Grace wasn’t about faith or worshipping the Lord. It was about protecting his business – his franchise. Some people when they get out of the NFL open up car dealerships, restaurant chains, etc… Sovereign Grace was Mahaney’s business and he took the money that people tithed and invested it and in the process (I am guessing) purchased his very own Trinity Evangelical Divinity School Professor, Head of SBTS, influential members of TGC, etc… In the end when the curtain is raised I think we’re going to a level of corruption that makes Boss Tweed of Tammany Hall fame come out looking like a saint. And the damage done to Christianity in the US is going to be severe. That is my prediction, my analysis of the situation. Anonymous on Tue Jul 01, 2014 at 06:50 PM said: I am so glad that SBTS severed the relationship with SGM. I don’t know why. I personally suspect that the testimony in the Morales trial had something to do with it. Up until then, Mahaney could tell Mohler there was nothing to the allegations. After the testimony, there were some facts, stated in a courtroom by an SGM pastor, that the molestation was not reported. Mohler was asked at the Baptist 21 meeting during the Convention about child molestation, and he said that reporting it immediately to the authorities was a Gospel ministry imperative. That meeting came not too long after the Morales verdict and the testimony. Mohler’s being asked that question and the way he answered it was a clear signal to me that something has changed. I see Mahaney fading in the rearview mirror of both SBTS and T4G. It may take time, and there may be some contact, but not like before. I could be wrong about this, but I suspect that I am correct. I am one who supports the changes at Southern. I believe that Southern’s return to requiring that the faculty teach in accordance with and not contrary to the orthodox Christianity generally and the Abstract of Principals specfically is faithful stewardship of the institution. Several Presidents before Mohler – Mullins, Sampey, Fuller, McCall – all had problems with the faculty. Mohler was the first President to become involved directly in faculty matters and challenge the faculty to abide by the Abstract or be taken before the trustees. Mohler fired very few people. As opposed to McCall, who (I believe) fired 13 facutly members in 1 day, but ultimately did not police the faculty thereafter and the departure from orthodox Christianity remained. Running a private institution of any size nowadays is tough. The continued increase of private wealth taken by the public sector takes a toll. The number and health of private universities is on the wane. Southern has done well, and I believe will continue to do well. There are over 4,000 students there now. The giving is strong. And there are large donors who will probably look at Southern due to its prominence and Mohler’s large presence in the culture at large as someone who is committed to orthodox Christianity. Don’t anybody underestimate the impact of the 60s and 70s on people. All at once there was VietNam, the pill and the sexual revolution, civil rights, women’s lib, hippies and drugs, the charismatic movement and Vatican II. In short, a hurricane blew through. Just about anything would have looked good to a lot of people if it promised some calm and stability about then. When the preachers took up the old refrain of “open your bibles to ….” it sounded to some people like happy days are here again. Lydia on Tue Jul 01, 2014 at 07:09 PM said: No they don’t. It is school of worship or something like that. A lot of SGM Bob Kauflin influence in that change. I have a qute a few extended family who graduated from the school of music back in the hey day. When I was a kid we were always attending formal recitals at SBTS. Classical music, chamber music, etc. It was much more about glorifying God through Art in those days. Now music is the step child to preaching. Because as we all know now the “sermon is the most important event of the week” Nick Bulbeck on Tue Jul 01, 2014 at 07:09 PM said: So along came fundamentalism, but it did not look like fundamentalism at first.

That can’t be the whole story, but that did happen and is part of it. This is a really interesting observation, Nancy. I suspect it happens in most movements, including genuine moves of God. The bible states in more than one place that Another generation/Pharaoh arose that did not know… It has happened with the charismatic movement in the UK too, in a different way. Back in the 1970’s one of the distinguishing features of the charismatic renewal (which was widespread in the mainstream churches here and, like any genuine work of God, controversial too) was the unprecedented joy and freedom in worship. From small living-rooms to large halls, people experienced a collective outpouring of praise to God such as they had never known before. But increasingly, this began to draw new people to the churches. That was a good thing, of course. A side effect, though, was that these people had never known anything different and they tended to be people who gravitated to that kind of gathering. What they didn’t know about was the hunger and thirst for God himself that had produced that in the first place. So now, as the Holy Spirit wants to move out and onwards, we have a generation in place who don’t want to go with him, because they’re too much in love with the charismatic liturgy, the churchy atmosphere and the feelings they get from the “time of worship”. I can well imagine that the Fundamentalist Thing began as people were moved to raise up a standard of unchanging truth, and that they did this in step with the Holy Spirit. But the next generation, by analogy to the previous paragraph, were people who were into dogma and rule-making as ends in themselves. So now, when the Holy Spirit wants them to learn more, and understand the logical consequences of the fact that Jesus really did rise from the dead and really is alive and with us now, they don’t want to move. Instead they just invent new heretical labels with which to demonise anyone who’s Not One of Us. People who gave up opportunities to practice medicine because they felt like they had to be a missionary or pastor instead Here is the flip side of that. Some years back I read an article in the journal of the NC medical society concerning a survey they had done of primary care physicians (FP and general internal medicine if I recall). The results were interesting. Q: If you could find another job would you leave medicine within the next three years? A: Approximately 50% said yes. Q: Have you encouraged your children to choose medicine as a career? A: Almost nobody had, extremely small percentage which I have forgotten the actual number. Q: If you did not encourage your children to choose medicine as a career, what if anything did you encourage them to choose. A: Law, overwhelming majority. I thought it was funny, because my son was in law school at the time. Medicine is not for everybody. An old saying is that medicine is a jealous mistress. Not everybody wants that. Hi Louis, Just a few thoughts on your comment: The “ties” have not been severed. The agreement with the SGM Pastors college has been withdrawn. Plenty of “ties” are still in place with Bob Kauflin, his son and some of Mahaney’s family. It was obvious the molestations were not reported long before the trial. In fact, MOhler basically spit on ALL the victims stories with his comments to media and continued defense of Mahaney. If it takes a trial to do the right thing, then we have a bigger problem with Mahaney. I suspect withdrawing the sweet deal with the pastors college was more about the outcry from SBC pastors, Alumni and students as word got out. Too little too late. It is meaningless. Don’t know why anyone believes a word out of his mouth. HE dissed victims many times starting 2 years ago. He and most of the YRR movement went out of their way to protect and defend Mahaney. What was it about “Apostle” of “People of Destiny” Mohler did not get? He told Peter King back in 2011 for the Courier JOurnal that the SGM bloggers just did not like Mahaney’s “strong leadership”. So how can he plead ignorance? Did SGMwikileaks sound normal to him, too? Yes, let us pretend that we never promoted Mahaney or Driscoll’s ACts 29. The pew sitters are ignorant. WE will find some issue to redirect their attention. Nevermind integrity, truthfulness, justice, honesty, etc. Those are for losers. The abstract is the Founding Calvinist document of SBTS which is not at all SBC seminaries and some think it is different than the BFM. But then, I guess you have to admit that SBTS did pretty well when they were ignoring the Abstract. Al Mohler dusted it off and enforced it and lots of people were sent packing. Honeycutt, too? Mohler worked for him. Guess Mohler was liberal? Oh boy. ARe you citing only faculty? Many left when Mohler came!~ ARe you including the Carver school? Oh, those were just layoffs. Or how about the 35 laid off a few years back while he spent 150 mill on campus beautification? Those people had kids and mortgages. Poor Mohler Nope, without Boyce it would be in big trouble. And undergrad was never the intention of the SBC seminaries. As usual you spin the Mohler position quite well while admitting Mahaney has been an embarassment you wish would go away. How are things on the Foundation board? It is school of worship or something like that. To take some of the music they are doing now and to take some of the methods of presentation of that music and not only call it worship but by inference limit the concept of worship to that music; that is an injustice to both music and worship. Maybe they do it better down the road or around the corner, but what I have seen at SBC mega here is pitiful. And the congregation just stands there and endures it. Nobody at all that I can see (only been there a few times) can get a grip on it. Endurance like that is not worship. It may be a valuable christian discipline but it is not worship. No wonder they dim the lights when they do it. Single For Now I am heading off to bed. I am concerned about the trajectory of your comments. You show precious little love to those who struggle but you sure know how right you are. You must feel really good about your own life and you seem to enjoy telling everyone else who are not as godly as you. I bet you are sure that you do not come across like that because, by telling everyone the harsh truth, you are keeping them from hell. I want you to contemplate Josh’s words. He does not feel welcome by you or the church. And I think you can do better than that. I am going to put your comments into moderation because I do not want things to deteriorate any further.

Good point to be sure Eagle, but it does beg another question: Why do some personalities do such drastic 180 degree switch-a-rooneys? It doesn’t seem to matter what brand of ‘true believer’ they do the switch from. Here in the LA area there’s a Christian radio talk-show host who recounts his days as a fervent atheist who loved to ‘hate’ on Christians and never missed an opportunity to ridicule them for their beliefs. Now the guy is a full-on fundagelical who leans neo-reformed and loves to argue for it. Go figure as they say. mot on Wed Jul 02, 2014 at 07:01 AM said: Folks like Louis live in the state of denial.

At first, the ‘gender roles’ stuff wasn’t part of it either. But religious movements, when they are not of the Holy Spirit, inevitably will embrace and promote misogyny. I totally agree with you that domestic abuse, sexual abuse and rape within marriage will all be outcomes of this patriarchal movement. Regarding people changing their jobs and plans in order to conform to this movement, I’ve read quite a few accounts of people – women in particular – abandoning life-long dreams to conform to the restricted SAHM role. ‘Joyful submission’ has not led to joy or fulfilment, rather depression. One example that sticks in my mind is actually one of CJ Mahaney’s daughters who wrote that when she was growing up she dreamed of being a missionary in a foreign country until it was knocked out of her and she realised she had to stay at home and raise children. elizabetta carrera on Wed Jul 02, 2014 at 08:55 AM said: Speaking strictly from a business perspective, it’s clear that the Protestant model is now merging theologies (non-denominational, mainline denominations are dying) and going to a more popular approach to music. So Southern had to revamp their program to answer the “market needs.” From a cultural perspective, Protestantism does not value tradition in the way Catholicism and Judaism do. So I think this is a normal trajectory. In no way do I think my Protestant brothers and sisters lack zeal and devotion to Christ. But, as David Wells says, are the victims of cultural and theological developments — not necessarily good. You realize how MUCH this will affect our Christian culture, don’t you???? When I was little singing in choir REINFORCED the truths I was learning in Sunday School and Church. Those songs have remained with me my whole life and have made that doctrine stick. They have been a source of comfort in trying times. I have quit pointing my finger at the secular culture for destroying our Christian culture. We are doing from the inside ourselves. @ K.D.: Reading these comments here about what is happening to Protestant church music is only confirming what, 15 years ago, I saw beginning to happen. This truly saddens me. This isn’t about the music. It’s about our whole Christian culture. On the Roman Catholic side, there is a shift to beautiful traditional music (yes, I like Praise and Worship, too) that teaches the truths of the faith in a timeless and transcendent way.

I can call up some scripture to mind, but when I really really need to feel the love and support of the Father, “It is Well with My Soul” and “Be Thou My vision” are what come to mind.

Now the guy is a full-on fundagelical who leans neo-reformed and loves to argue for it. The person you describe hasn’t done a 180 at all. He’s just hopping on the other leg.

Gus on Wed Jul 02, 2014 at 10:50 AM said: In my twenties I got to know a former Neo-Nazi turned evangelical, and while I would not want to comment on the sincerity of his faith, the outward signs were that he had just exchanged one ideology for another. We can’t look in another’s heart, and at least his newfound orientation was a lot more benign than his old one. But he still showed that “us vs. them” attitude, the will to “win” (whatever that means as a Christian I don’t know). But then again, when I was young (late teens, early twenties) and considered myself an evangelical, attitudes of “us vs. them” and being a terrible-pain-in-the-behind know-it-all were not exactly strangers to me. Nancy on Wed Jul 02, 2014 at 10:52 AM said: From a cultural perspective, Protestantism does not value tradition in the way Catholicism and Judaism do. I have to say do not forget Orthodoxy and Anglicanism as on the tradition end of the spectrum. This is to bring up the issue that the attitudes to tradition occur on a continuum within protestantism. At one extreme there is the stated position that tradition should (imperative) not have a part in decision making but rather sola scriptura. That the churches that have relied on tradition have fallen into error because of it. At the other end of the spectrum is of course the Anglicans who even adhere to apostolic succession for ordination of bishops, if I am not in error. And somewhere along that line are the Methodists (my group) who take the position that belief is based on four things: prima scriptura, tradition, reason and experience. What I am saying is that protestantism is hugely complex and everything is on a continuum. I am not saying that you are not aware of this. You seem to be extremely knowledgeable. I am using your comment as an opportunity to get this information out in case there are readers here who do not know this. I went from Baptist to Methodist, and my Methodist church is very like the Baptist church I knew as a child. And I like the people. That said, however, my children and grandchildren have “gone over” to the Episcopal church, and I do visit there some because I find liturgy and the eucharist far closer to worship than anything else. An Attorney on Wed Jul 02, 2014 at 10:59 AM said: But even the most radical “sola scriptura” fundagelicals want to use the KJV because? Because it is the traditional scriptural translation that their grandparents used. And many protestants and related tend to default to the traditional understanding of scripture passages that we now know to have different meanings or applications than previously believed. (e.g., submit means kowtow to). The opposite of love is not hate. The opposite of love is indifference. The switch was not 180 at all. It was more a reconciliation of thinking and feeling. Because it is the traditional scriptural translation that their grandparents used. There is a conspiracy theory aspect of it also, that subsequent translations were deliberately manipulated by evil persons for their own purposes. Never mind and don’t try to tell them about the problems with KJV translation used to strengthen the protestant view of some things at a time of religious turmoil in England. Dr Nancy, Switching to Methodist is not that big a deal. There were Methodists in the family for years and years, even had a great grandfather who was a circuit riding Methodist minister in the 1800s….my mother was the Baptist. Her mother converted grandad….so of course all the kids (5) are SBC. But the rest of her family…Methodist…. My mom always joked “Baptists convert ’em and Methodists bury ’em.” (commenting on the trend in her rural southern experience for people to switch from Baptist to Methodist after coming to the faith generally.) You are fortunate in that. I think the methodists tend to be good people. LawProf on Wed Jul 02, 2014 at 12:19 PM said: The problem is in the accreditation and the integrity of the academic process, as well as the ethics of the situation as a whole. I’ve been in higher ed for over a decade, if a school offers credit, especially graduate-level credit, for less than graduate level work, they risk losing their accreditation. It’s highly doubtful that any accrediting body (except for an illegitimate one such as those that accredit diploma mills) would see the Pastor’s College studies at SGM as anything approaching graduate level work, and probably not even university undergraduate level work. Are the instructors there legitimate academics with graduate degrees? Is the work academic, or just, as has been so oft stated, indoctrination into the SGM way of shepherding? If the latter, then even if the work was quite rigorous, it would still not qualify as academic work. SBTS was giving students from SGM, who were probably not even doing legitimate undergraduate level work to receive their certifications, significant credit towards academic degrees. This is foolishness writ large. The plan was unethical in the larger sense. Setting aside my profound disagreements with the theology and practice of SGM, it’s still unethical to give SGM PC graduates graduate credit or special consideration which they do not merit, and treat others who have had far more serious educations as second class. One could receive an undergraduate degree with honors from an elite Christian college such as Hope College or Wheaton and be disadvantaged in terms of transfer credit at SBTS as compared with a PC “grad” who had no college degree? How is that right or ethical in any way? One more thing: What SBTS was doing is stupid. SACS, the accrediting body, does not take such matters as the SGM PC = grad credit towards a Master’s policy lightly. I teach at a secular university accredited by SACS, they have a reputation for being brutal, and having done assessment work to meet SACS standards for the last three years and served on committees where retaining accreditation is a major part of what you’re doing, I can say SACS tough reputation is earned. SBTS may have placed their entire master’s program in jeopardy because of this foolishness. My bet is the dropping of the SGM PC Policy was a lot more about an attempt to avoid penalties from the accrediting body than about the Morales trial.

Not that I’d ever go back to practicing law, but the American Bar Association has accredited so many more schools in that time and the schools have lowered their standards to keep enrollments high. This has led to more newly-minted lawyers unable to find work to pay back their six-figure law school debts. Now the ABA is going to allow law schools to admit up to 10 percent of entering classes without an LSAT entrance exam. I wish I was lying: http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/legal_ed_sections_council_wraps_up_comprehensive_review_of_accreditation/ So it’s not just SBTS which is lowering the standards; it’s happening all over, and in large part it’s about keeping the money rolling in to prop up the educational institution. I’m assuming there was some sort of financial benefit to SBTS for taking those SGM students. I also have to wonder how other seminary students at SBTS felt about taking classes with men who may not have even attended or graduated college. Friends of mine studying for a women’s ministry course at our local Baptist Bible College have been told, for example, not to read anything by N.T. Wright. What’s funny is that N.T. Wright is one of the great conservative scholars. He is, in fact, too conservative for my Catholic boyfriend, whose tastes run more toward Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan (aka scandalous heathern libruls). Given how oversubscribed the legal profession is and the changes being allowed by the ABA (some doc review now done in India!), I would absolutely recommend people not waste their time going to law school unless a) they had a full ride to a top three law school–including a living stipend b) someone else was paying for it and/or c) they had a standing offer at a family law firm upon graduation. It is absolutely NOT worth it. I have a friend who graduated three years ago and after his year clerking on an appellate court, he has not found work. This is a guy who passed the New York and New Jersey bar on the first go-round (and took both in the same week). If a smart guy like him can’t get a job, everyone else is (to finish what I wrote before I pressed Post Comment) “out of luck.” mirele wrote: Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan GASP! I think students get kicked out of SBTS for even looking at anything written by them 🙂 On a serious note, I really like Marcus Borg but Crossan’s a bit too far out for me, but I like him if only for the fact that he drives the neo-fundies into fits of apoplexy. Nancy on Wed Jul 02, 2014 at 02:56 PM said: What’s funny is that N.T. Wright is one of the great conservative scholars. He is, and he is one of my favorites. But his work on Paul blows a hole in some of the legalistic slant in fundamentalism. When he says what law was Paul talking about when he talked about law and what did he mean when he said what he said, IMO leaves some fundamentalist thinking run over on the highway. I hope your friend got the hint and started reading Wright. Well, as time passes, I’m finding the value of the J.D. I got over 25 years ago is slowly being worn away.

Steinbeck wrote about it in another context: “The bank – the monster has to have profits all the time. It can’t wait. It’ll die. No, taxes go on. When the monster stops growing, it dies. It can’t stay one size…. The bank is something else than men. It happens that every man in a bank hates what the bank does, and yet the bank does it. The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It’s the monster. Men made it, but they can’t control it.” A lot like what we see when these churches and seminaries and ministries become Big Things. Over time, the Mohlers and Driscolls become slaves to The Machine they helped to create. Jim Bakker said words very much to the same effect after his fall. Even when you get a job as an attorney, there’s no guarantee you won’t hate it a few years down the road. I’ve met many in my former profession who loathe what they’re doing and wonder how they can get into my racket–which unfortunately drives down the pay for my line of work! It is absolutely NOT worth it I hear that. When my lawyer daughter-in-law had to take an extended maternity leave with her first child for medical reasons, she lost her job because of cutbacks due to the current economic woes. She was doing family law for Legal Aid (and had been a social worker prior to law school and was good at the job.) When she got to where she could go back to work the only thing she could find was scut work at a larger law firm for peasant wages and long hours. Really, not just some excuse. Now “works from home” writing articles for some legal web site, but there is neither much money nor any future in that. My son has succeeded, partly by finding the right specialty for him and partly by developing a particular skill of being better able than most to deal with doctors (and such) on the stand. That very thing got him a call back from the feds for his current job. I wonder how he got that idea? The discussions that I have heard between the two is that the practitioners of law are becoming so aggressive to each other that it can be very unpleasant, more so than when they first got out of school. But then, medicine has become rather like working on the line in some Detroit auto plant. I kid you not. As a patient I get run through on a conveyor belt and I listen to the docs complain about the necessity to do that. elizabetta carrera on Wed Jul 02, 2014 at 03:44 PM said: It is not the caliber that it was. . . Dr. Fundystan, Proctologist on Wed Jul 02, 2014 at 03:53 PM said: Mr.H wrote: I really hesitated to comment on this topic, but here goes. I was a student at SBTS earlier this millennium. I dropped out. I dropped out for several reasons: 1) Lack of cultural integrity – the aristocratic ethos at SBTS is antithetical to the gospel. 2) Lack of academic integrity – not only was the coursework and expectations pathetic, I heard from three different professors something like, “Well don’t tell Mohler I said this”, indicating pretty clearly that academic freedom and integrity was not important. Not only that, but there were several professors that were shockingly unqualified. But because they were young committed Calvinists with the proper culture war position, they got powerful roles. 3) Lack of theological integrity – CBMW (which is basically all make believe), ESS (pure heresy), and the constant harping on socio-cultural norms instead of Christian ministry, etc. 4) Lack of ministerial integrity – things like slashing the music program affect the very nature of Christian worship (and yes, I do believe every pastor should have enough music instruction to foster worship through music); cutting accredited counseling programs etc. means that many Christians will have less access to quality care, etc. 5) Lack of social integrity – there are things Christians say and do that will upset the world. However, Mohler especially seems to go out of his way to be ignorant, stubborn, and ungracious to the world. He uses his platform to wage culture war instead of to promote the training of ministers of the gospel – which is his actual job. All in all, there will always be things at any seminary that one disagrees with, but at SBTS the quality of education was several orders of magnitude below my undergraduate degree, and I went to a fundamentalist Christian college. That should tell you something. K.D. on Wed Jul 02, 2014 at 03:54 PM said: The lowering of standards in HS also helped usher me out the door. I was already having health problems when the idea of standards started to take a rapid drop. Every parent wanted their kid to make an ” A” or pass or whatever without any real academic effort. It makes me wonder now about all the people who get their online Master’s in School Administration. Several Texas universities turn out school administrators like cord wood. There is even an attempt by several of the schools to see how much cheaper their school can offer the degree than the next Texas college. The only two to charge pretty much regular tuition are Texas A&M and Tech….. Lamar, SFA, Sam Houston, A&M-Commerce, etc are all in a competition to see how many they can turn out..it makes me wonder what in the world the state needs with all these administrators….meanwhile the state needs Spanish, ESL, Special Ed., and of course Math and Science teachers…but we got principals running out our ears… It makes me wonder now about all the people who get their online Master’s in School Administration. The same thing exists for Masters of Business Administration (MBA). I think the programs are just out there first, to make the university money and second (and at least with the MBA) provide an expensive generalist credential beyond the Bachelor’s degree to justify giving a promotion. Ironically, the two people I know who got MBAs in the last couple of years did not get the promotions they were looking for, but instead moved jobs at about the same salary. LawProf wrote: And I have confirmed their accrediting agency is SACS. I would have thought that if SACS came down like a ton of bricks on Mohler and SBTS, the program would have absolutely been scrapped and there are still vestiges of it. Something else is going on, I think. All of this is true, but why are they doing it? There is too much of this to think it is an occasional act of bad judgment. Think about this. In our state they have the idea to make it look like every possible student will be going to college. Soooo, guess how some special ed students get through four years of math including calculus, four years of english while some do not speak english and at least two history courses I could not pass at the HS where my daughter teaches. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! I honestly don’t know, although it must certainly have something to do with money. It almost feels like intentional sabotage to me – because as you point out, it is too consistent, and nobody is that consistently moronic. I also felt like the totalitarian approach to theology was unhelpful and dishonest – SBTS is a baptist school, and baptists have always stood for individual soul liberty/priesthood of the believer, and there have always been multiple perspectives under the SBC umbrella. I feel like the all calvinism all the time approach was horribly stunting to anyone actually designing to be a pastor.

Hester on Wed Jul 02, 2014 at 08:17 PM said: @ Nancy & K.D.: In my experience, per religious schools, only mainline liturgical ones (Catholic, Episcopalian, Lutheran) have decent sacred music degrees (though I did recently find out there are a few liberal PCUSA exceptions). The Christian college music degrees I’ve seen, have looked pretty bad. One at a YRR seminary was basically just a theology degree with two keyboard proficiency classes tacked on the end. Also known as a joke. Addendum @ Nancy & K.D.: I suspect this is because the mainline churches, in many cases, are the only ones left that haven’t created a hostile environment toward traditional music and musicians, turned them into second-class citizens or rendered them invisible, and/or actively driven them out. This is why I rarely work as an organist in conservative churches – I’m not wanted. And why traditional church musicians employed in the field, all know how to spot a Fundy Militant CCM-Onlyist attempting a coup.

Law Prof, I have a bit of experience serving on comittees assessing for SACS standards (yes brutal) from about 15 years ago so while out of touch with it now, I was wondering the exact same thing you have mentioned here. I saw a while back that the SGM pastors college had guys like Grudem and Dever teach classes so it gave me a thought…. Could it be these 35 SGM pastors college “credits” transferrable to SBTS were taught by SBTS adjunct faculty and that made it fly under the SACS radar? Or would it even matter? He is also very much the gentlemen when it comes to disagreement and loves debate. Even James White was not his rabid self when they appeared on Unbelievable to debate. It does not seem to be about winning to him but about understanding and seeking truth. I have only seen him get frustrated a few times and it was always concerning what Piper has said about him. :o) All this talk about the downgrade of music/church on this thread reminds me of NT Wright talking about how important beautiful& excellent Art/Music is for us to reflect God back out into the culture. My mom was organist there before she married. Way back in the day. brad/futuristguy on Wed Jul 02, 2014 at 09:26 PM said: Seriously, I’ve often felt that arts (visual, literary, musical, etc.) are one of the most important antidotes to evil. Thus, the removal of/absence of the arts may tell something about a theology’s practical lack of understanding human nature and aesthetic feeling. Which typically means that all the identity eggs are in the abstract intellectual basket. P.S. Which also makes sense as to why arts-music-storying tend to play a crucial role in healing for many of us from spiritual abuse survivor backgrounds. Our identity was imploded, our mentality was corroded, our emotions were overloaded … and the arts helped restore our soul and refresh our spirit as life-giving, balance-inducing emotional and aesthetic waters after a death-defying drought. He uses his platform to wage culture war instead of to promote the training of ministers of the gospel – which is his actual job. His actual job would not get him on Larry King or in Time Mag. The culture war did. Yes! Oh yes! I wish I could find that video segment by NT Wright where he discusses the arts/music to share here for any thirsty souls like mine. I just don’t have time to track it down as it was saved on another computer. It is in his “Surprised by Hope” video series –some of which are on youtube. I am from way back in the day. It may have been your mom I was so impressed with. Between the actual place itself (stained glass, walnut stained wood, balconies) and the music and what my family thought were good sermons, I was convinced that God himself met with us every Sunday. Of course, he does, but I was just so impressed with that. She was there during WW2 and up to ’50 (during and after college). It was the “in church” those days. Lots of young women living in boarding houses, doing war work or attending school in the area. Friends for life, they became. Lots of big weddings there when the “boys came home”. She loved that huge pipe organ. zooey111 on Thu Jul 03, 2014 at 02:04 AM said: All are welcome. 🙂 What a mental image!!

This, to paraphrase Tolkien, grieves me more than many things that might seem worse. A seminary should be a gathering of elders and teachers – like the council at Jerusalem described in Acts 15. That one man dominates in this way is tragic; because what will the knock-on effect be among all the localised gatherings of believers that expect teaching and leadership from the alumni of SBTS? Proverbs 18 opens with: He who separates himself seeks his own desire; He quarrels against all sound wisdom. The evolution of SBTS, and other organisations swamped by the “conservative resurgence”, suggests evidence that one doesn’t have to be a “none” to scorn genuine christian fellowship. Fellowship (a word so grossly and trivially overused here in the UK that I find it cheap and distasteful) cannot happen without mutual honour and submission. One can be the head of a christian organisation, being surrounded by christians all day long, and still be a man who has separated himself to seek his own desire. Nancy on Thu Jul 03, 2014 at 07:18 AM said: It was your mom. I was born in 1934 and we were at Walnut Street until I started hanging out as a teen with the local crowd out at a little church in Okolona where we lived. That would have been in maybe 1948. So it had to be your mom. She was awesome. The music was awesome. People could go into the worship service a little early and enjoy the prelude music, which we always did, and I wanted so badly to be able to play. It was one of the things that kept me going on violin until I eventually gave it up for other reasons. My dad taught the men’ bible class at a mission of Walnut Street’s down in the West End and beat it on back in time for the early organ music. This is so incredible. So let me say about here in my current town. We have three (that I know of) schools/universities that offer undergrad degrees in music, one professional concert pianist who also teaches at one of the colleges, and we have the NC School of the Arts which is a huge asset. We have a local symphony orchestra which also brings in guest performers, and lots of people who one might call bi-vocational musicians. We have arts this and arts that, and live music in lots of restaurants and even street musicians now and again and here and there. It is a part of the local economy. And (lament) even so the local SBC mega ignores all that and wallows in whatever you call that mess they do. Point being: it is intentional, not for lack of opportunity and not for lack of community interest. I think somebody or something is deliberately trying on many fronts to destroy the church.

Sorry about that, but my choice is either something now and maybe more later, or nothing now and who knows what when. Okay, nuff intro. On to the stuff. * Spiritually abusive authoritarian individuals and their systems use extreme black-or-white thinking. * Extreme black-or-white analytic thinking splits things apart, and therefore makes its followers highly susceptible to dualism — categorizing things into polar opposites, then valuing only one partner in the polarity pair and denying or minimizing the other. * This kind of polarizing, either/or, this-or-that mentality is reductionist. It denies complexity, which requires a both/and paradoxical perspective. * Paradoxy involves BOTH identifying different elements of being AND keeping those elements connected in a dynamic tension with one another. * Behind reductionism is a drive to simplify complex things, but it overdoes it and so overfocuses on individual elements and loses the system connections. * Humanness in its full, complex existence involves our mind, imagination, emotions, aesthetic feeling, and will in its immaterial elements, and our body in its material elements. * The either/or requirement of reductionism forces people to make such choices as mind over emotions, the immaterial (e.g., thinking) over the material (e.g., the body), abstractions and philosophy over the concrete and culture. * Paradoxical thinking that recognizes human complexity means we keep all the elements of our being in dynamic tension. * Various forms of art typically engage multiple aspects of who we are. For instance, images often interconnect abstract ideas and emotions with concrete subjects, and call forth an emotional response. Music often functions like an “emotional soundtrack of the soul.” People’s stories (and so works of literature, movies, etc.) engage our mind while also sparking our curiosity and imagination about what will happen next and arousing empathy or antipathy as we identify or dis-identify with the characters. Liturgy as “embodiment art” involves physical movement that reengages our body through our senses in sacred/set-aside space while we also engage ourselves with other people likewise being moved. * What this essentially means is that by engaging multiple elements of our being simultaneously, arts help re-glue our fragmented pieces of humanness back together. Reductionism fragments us and forces us to embrace only chards of ourselves; arts reconstitute us, and fill our scars with Kintsugi gold. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi I’ve seen discussions as to the soothing and healing nature of arts for those of us who are survivors of any kind of trauma, abuse, grief, etc. So that’s not particularly novel. But, as far as I know, this is an original explanation as to why art-images-stories-music etc. “work” the ways they do. It’s based on a paradigm analysis system that I’ve been developing for 15 years as a “primary resource” system based on processing my own experiences. (Meaning I didn’t do this as a “secondary” process by doing a mega-book report that synthesizes other people’s experiences and thoughts.) I use this paradigm system to “profile” different information processing styles that drive our systems of abstract beliefs and concrete values; and how those inherently drive different kinds of organizational system strategies and structures and processes and procedures; and how those distinctively shape our cultures and our modes of collaboration, isolation, or domination. So I really do consider how any/all of this works together as a system. For the most effective transformation to occur, you eventually have to get to the very bottom three things that drive the entire system: epistemology (i.e., information processing mode), and then values and beliefs. From these things – in my opinion – all else flows. And for us to move from wherever we find ourselves in this “spiritual GPS system,” to get to the goal of Christlike character and lifestyle involves reintegrating all the pieces that various other epistemologies want to “split and forgit”! Hence, arts will be important in both moments and movement of healing in our journey together with Jesus and toward Christlikeness and transforming culture for the Kingdom. Like Jesus’ outer cloak, it’s all woven together as a seamless garment … I believe this paradigm system and the strong influence of information processing modes helps explain the insidious nature of authoritarian systems. All we see on the surface at first is the culture and organization and partnerships of what turns out to be a “malignant ministry.” Then we maybe start seeing underneath how the dynamics of hierarchy and authoritarianism function: splitting men from women and only valuing men, splitting adults from children, insiders from outsiders, “leaders” from “followers,” etc. But even that is all driven at the very deepest levels by a core mode of thinking that is reductionist, either/or, and DESPISES paradox and complexity — because paradox gives the “power” of recognition of existence to all elements in the system. And arts engage multiple layers and so are an antidote to evil, which (in my opinion) always seems to be about negating and eliminating layers. Okay, so there’s half the essay! Who knew …?

This was a big factor in why I ultimately couldn’t stay in the PCA. Whatever good things can be said about Reformed churches, as a group they have been against the arts basically since their inception, unless they liberalize like the PCUSA and UCC. I am going with my choir to England this summer and we will be singing in a cathedral (Ely) that Cromwell used as a stable. That pretty much says it all right there. And the stories of Puritans destroying organs in England make me so flaming mad, even though none of it was done to me personally. I have good friends who are Reformed, and of course none of this is their fault. But I don’t think I can ever quite forgive the theology as a whole for its artistic crimes. Yup. They don’t give a rip about traditional musicians anymore. They don’t want us and we’re not welcome. But we will be berated up one side and down another for going to one of those evil liberal churches when we leave.

LawProf on Thu Jul 03, 2014 at 02:59 PM said: The reason most accountants get MBAs is because it helps them meet the 150 cr hr requirement that most states require to become a CPA. A bachelor’s is usually 120 – 130 cr hr, of course, so the student is pulling up about a year short of their credit hour requirements after the first degree. If you otherwise have 150 cr hr, however, and can pass the CPA Exam, with or without an MBA or some form of Master’s in Accountancy, that’s generally considered every bit as good. I don’t think SACS would play that game. SACS reviews my university every five or so years, I think that’s pretty typical (some go longer stretches between reviews, I know not why). I think we come up next year, which is why there’s been such a rush of activity and concern here and why one of my colleagues was given a course release to spend time chairing a university accreditation committee. Big hubub. We could do some goofy stuff in that time and not get really slammed until we come up for review. It looks like SBTS last came up in 2013. Does this graduate-credit-for-shepherding-cult-indoctrination-program predate that? If so, I’m nonplussed that SACS would give it the thumbs-up or hold their noses and allow it.

Of course, I was singing treble then. Ely cathedral is unique in that its central tower is octagonal. Back in Cromwell’s day, before the fens were drained, the cathedral was on an island; it’s still called the Isle of Ely. Because the surrounding countryside is so flat, the cathedral tower is a prominent landmark for many miles around.

There is an older baptist church here that has incredible music (with organ, too!) and even brings in the first seat local orchestra for quite a few occassions like Easter, Christmas, etc. The irony is they split from the SBC after the CR and are part of the CBF. I use “irony” because these so called former SBC liberals are the ones who “conserved” traditional/classical music in church. :o) Sounds good. And there are still an adequate number of us (I for one) who hire string quartets to play at their children’s weddings/receptions actually inside the church buildings. The people do not seem to feel that they have been contaminated. The enjoy it. Of course, it was baptist but not SBC. I like the saying that SBC left us, we did not leave them. Well, I left them, but I mean in reference to non-SBC affiliated baptist churches.

The Palm Sunday service was all very traditional choral/organ music for a full hour or so, with minimal verbal remarks and some scripture. oldJohnJ on Fri Jul 04, 2014 at 11:05 AM said: I attend as a choir member a small SBC church that still uses a very traditional worship service. Accompaniment is by a piano and a simulated (electronic) organ. In another local SBC church the service features a 1/2 hour of screaming praise team accompanied by drums and guitars “leading” 7/11 praise choruses. Perhaps after such an ordeal the 1 hour sermon is viewed with relief. It appears to me this reflects a much older congregation with pre conservative coup values and the output of the post coup SBC seminaries.

__label__cc	0.730533	0.269467	How FOMC Changes in 2018 & What it Means for Dollar Daily FX Market Roundup 12.28.17 By Kathy Lien, Managing Director of FX Strategy for BK Asset Management After consolidating for 4 to 5 trading days, we’ve finally seen some relatively strong moves in the FX market (at least for a holiday week). EUR/USD shot above 1.1940 to a 1 month high, GBP/USD hit 1.3450 and USD/JPY broke below 113. These breakouts were driven primarily by U.S. dollar weakness but the continued strength of U.S. stocks also helped to propel these currencies higher. 2017 has been marked by persistent dollar weakness and with year-end flows easing it will close out the year in the same way despite today’s rise in U.S. yields. Part of the weakness can be attributed to U.S. data, which came in mostly weaker today. The trade deficit increased rather than narrowed in November, jobless claims did not improve although manufacturing activity in the Chicago region accelerated. The euro and Swiss Franc were the best performers. The Swissie had a delayed reaction to yesterday’s stronger UBS consumption indicator while the euro found support from the ECB economic bulletin that described the “euro area economic expansion to be solid and broad-based across countries and sectors.” They also said “underlying inflation is expected to rise gradually over the medium term.” While this positive outlook is encouraging for the euro, it does not bring forward the market’s expectations for ECB tightening. Germany continues to grapple with its political troubles as the SPD demands Merkel to form another grand coalition government. This is not an outcome that she favors. With no fresh Brexit news, sterling shrugged off lower finance loans for housing to trade to 1.3450 for the first time in 2 weeks. All 3 of the commodity currencies performed well with USD/CAD dropping below 1.26 for the first time since mid October. Having not seen a rally in 7 trading days, the currency pair hit a 2 month low. This follows similar moves in the Australian and New Zealand dollars, which hit the same milestone earlier this week. Although oil prices hung out below $60 a barrel for most of the day, the recent strength of crude helped keep the uptrend in the loonie intact. With that in mind, 1.2600 is an important near term support level for USD/CAD and a tempting place to take profits on short positions ahead of the long weekend holiday. The Australian and New Zealand dollars also hit 2 year highs as the momentum of high beta currencies continued. How Will the FOMC Change in 2018? On this quiet day, we take the opportunity to talk about the makeup of the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee in 2018. Aside from the departure of Janet Yellen, there will be a number of additional changes that could have a significant impact on the desire for tightening next year. Traditionally, the FOMC consists of 12 members – the 7 members of the Board of Governors, the President of the NY Fed and 4 Reserve Bank presidents who serve on a 1-year rotating basis. When Janet Yellen steps down in February, the FOMC will consist of the following members: Fed Chair – Jerome Powell Board of Governors – Lael Brainard Board of Governors – Randal Quarles NY Fed – William Dudley Cleveland Fed – Loretta Mester San Francisco Fed – John Williams Atlanta Fed – Raphael Bostic Richmond Fed – ?? Out goes Charles Evans and Neel Kashkari, the only 2 members to vote against the December rate hike and in comes Mester who is a hawk and Williams and Bostic who are centrists. Williams previously suggested that rates could rise 3 times next year while Bostic is less committed to a specific scale, having said there could be 2,3 or 4 hikes. The Richmond Fed still needs to appoint a replacement for Jeffrey Lacker who resigned in April and the NY Fed will need to find a replacement for William Dudley who plans to retire mid 2018. Aside from these open seats, there are still 4 vacancies on the Board of Governors. This month, Trump nominated economist Marvin Goodfriend to one of the vacancies. He is a widely respected monetary economist and former policymaker at the Richmond Fed that favors stricter inflation targeting and negative interest rates over quantitative easing. A few names have been floated around for Vice Chair – none of whom have direct monetary policy-making experience. There’s talk that the White House is considering Richard Clarida (managing director of PIMCO NY), Lawrence Lindsay (Bush economic advisor) and John Taylor (noted economist) for the post. That leaves one additional Board of Governors spot and the replacements for the NY and Richmond Fed Presidents. Of the confirmed members, we know that Powell and Dudley’s views are aligned with Yellen’s. Brainard is a dove, Quarles voted with the majority at the latest meeting, Mester, Williams and Bostic who are a bit more hawkish than dovish. So unless doves are nominated for the remaining posts, the central bank will have a more hawkish tilt in 2018. The market is only pricing in 1 full rate hike next year with a 65% chance of a second quarter point move over the next 12 months. This shows that investors are underpricing the possibility of tightening especially as policymakers have been talking about anywhere between 2 to 4 quarter point hikes. If the U.S. economy continues to expand like many expect next year, we could see the market adjust its rate hike expectations, which should be positive for the greenback.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0078.json.gz/line207
__label__cc	0.748779	0.251221	Home / Education / 6 Verses Of The Quran That Are Called Aayaat-Al-Shifa 6 Verses Of The Quran That Are Called Aayaat-Al-Shifa bloggerstrend Education, Quran & Hadith 821 Views The Holy Quran is the last and most sacred divine book revealed by Allah Almighty on the greatest prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It not only provides the guidelines for living a life according to the orders given by Allah, But also inculcate physical and spiritual remedies for many problems, be they related to physical health, worries, financial problems and spiritual healing. You should Join Online Quran Academy and take Online Quran Classes. As a Muslim, we must have total faith in all these verses. Another important aspect is that the Great Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also emphasized the importance of these verses and we believe that every word of the Prophet (PBUH) is a truth. Allah made this world and the universe and has all the solutions and medicines for all kinds of diseases. Allah Almighty says in the Quran: “And with him are the keys of the invisible; no one knows them except him. And he knows what’s on the land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls, but he knows it. And there is no grain in the darkness of the earth and no wet or dry thing, except that it is written [clearly] in a disc. “[Quran, 6: 59] We will describe these special verses that are directly related to our physical health, our worries, our financial problems, the danger and many other problems and problems. These verses can miraculously improve our problems if we recite them with absolute conviction. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also insisted on the recitation of these verses. We will describe all these verses for all those who want to learn the Qur’an online and recite the Aayaat-Al-Shifa. Learning the Qur’an By Heart Makes Us Strong As a Muslim, we must fight all the time against unbelievers in wars and if you feel that your heart is weakening, recite the following verse: “Fight them, Allah will punish them with your hands, dishonor them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of the believing people.” [Quran, 9:14] Seek help from Allah Almighty The Qur’an contains many verses that stimulate the human brain and improve the state of mind in difficult situations. For example, Allah says in the Holy Qur’an: “O humanity, you must receive instructions from your Lord and heal what is in your chest, as well as guidance and mercy for believers.” [Quran, 10: 57] Honeybees help you recover from all diseases except death Naturally grown herbs are human beings of ancient times when drugs were not often available. Allah Almighty has kept many blessings in the world that are truly beneficial to humanity. Honey is one of those blessings that can help us recover from many diseases. Allah Almighty has clearly described in the Qur’an as follows: “Then eat of all the fruits and follow the ways of your Lord established [for you].” There emerges from their belly a glass, of different colors, in which there is a healing for the people. Indeed, it is a sign for a people who think. “[Quran, 16: 69] Reading the Qur’an Online Can Reveal A Remedy For Our Mind And Soul The Creator of the universe told us in the Qur’an that it is the book that can give us peace of mind, satisfaction and bring peace to our lives. Learning the Qur’an online is the best way in the world today, where no one has time to read this divine book. It is therefore recommended to read the Qur’an online with the help of a good tutor. Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an: “And we reject from the Qur’an that which is healing and mercy for the devotees, but it does not increase the number of the undue except in case of loss.” [Qur’an, 17: 82] Believers Expect Shifa Only From Allah Muslims believe that there is only Allah Almighty, who can heal them from all diseases, although treatment is also essential according to Islamic sharia. Allah says in the Quran: “And when I am sick, it is he who reconciles me.” [Quran, 26: 80] Quran is the guide and the Healer The Qur’an is the word of Allah Almighty, which guides us in the dark way and helps us recover from diseases. In one verse of the Qur’an, Allah Almighty says: “And if we had made a non-Arabic Qur’an, they would have said,” Why are not his verses explained in detail [in our language]? Is it a distant and an Arab Say, “It is for those who believe they are guided and healed.” And those who do not believe – in their ears is deafness and blindness. These are called from a distant place. “[Quran, 41: 44] Learn Quran Online Online Quran Tutor 2019-10-01 Tags Learn Quran Online Online Quran Tutor Previous Electrical safety in the workplace: what are you required to do?

Hudson (6'3", 215 lbs) brings athleticism and a solid frame to the Greyhounds after helping Cabot (18-11) to the 6A State Tournament. The transfer from Temple, Texas, averaged 13.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game while shooting 55% from the field, earning All-Conference honors in the tough 6A-Central. The Panthers succeeded in a challenging year under two different coaches as Chris Meseke resigned halfway through the season and Interim Head Coach Logan Bailey led them the rest of the way. Cabot got a big win over defending state champion Fort Smith Northside as Hudson hit the game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer before earning a trip to the 6A State Tournament. The Panthers then battled to a tough 42-41 victory over Rogers in the first round of the 6A State Tournament before dropping a revenge game to Northside in the quarterfinals.

__label__cc	0.503787	0.496213	Review – Singularity Posted on January 29, 2011 by Matt Clarke Singularity was largely ignored when it released in June last year, but after an impressive-looking trailer and finding out Raven Software (Soldier of Fortune 2, Quake 4) were behind it, I had enough reason to be intrigued. However, thanks to Activision’s new policy of “ignore it if it isn’t Call of Duty”, the game whimpered onto the market and sold about 7 copies. It took me until Steam’s Christmas sale to buy it because it wasn’t in any stores and the ones that did have it were stupidly overpriced, even online. Its a real pity because here is a game that has clearly been influenced by some of the most high-profile first-person shooters in recent years, and has managed to develop their ideas into a solid, entertaining experience, and one that deserves an audience. The opening sequence sees you and some fellow American soldiers being transported to the fictional Russian island of Katorga-12, where sneaky communists have discovered a powerful new element known as E99. After harnessing its power, they have been carrying out all manner of despicable experiments, creating deadly weaponry, and causing a rather inconvenient rift in time itself. Naturally, all hell breaks loose, and you become embroiled in a world of nasty mutants, evil scientists and those who are fighting to keep it all together. Armed with the hugely versatile Time Manipulation Device, you blast your way through about 8 hours worth of action, puzzle-solving and time-bending mystery. You can freeze enemies in this time-bubble. Fill the helpless fools with lead, then watch them fall down dead. So, about those similarities. The most noticeable influence is perhaps Bioshock, who’s audio diary collectible system has been borrowed and used here in almost the exact same way. You’ll find many broken recorders scattered about which, after being restored using the TMD, will give you a brief insight into some of the characters motives and backstory. The game also has a weapon upgrade system, whereby you spend E99 tech you find scattered throughout all the shelves, cupboards and hidden corners of the game. Its a simple system where you can upgrade the damage, clip size and reload speed of the weapons you find. Aside from the novelty value of using a remote-controlled grenade launcher and the near-useless spike gun, I found myself simply blasting enemies away with the standard machine gun and shotguns, both of which I had fully upgraded by the midpoint of the game. The second game I kept being reminded of was Half Life 2, but certainly not for its approach to storytelling. Both these games are remarkably well-paced, with a perfect balance of intense action followed by some calmer puzzle solving. Both game’s feature extensive use of physics, so naturally the TMD can also be used to manipulate objects. Whenever a game features a weapon that lets you pick up objects and then throw them at your enemies, who isn’t reminded of the one and only gravity gun? Still, it works well here for solving the odd puzzle and being a handy secondary weapon when you run out of bullets. Zapping various items in the world alters its age, effectively rotting, or restoring it depending on its current state. You’ll come across many broken staircases, crates and electric switches, all of which can be manipulated using the TMD. The final game it reminded me of was the classic Wolfenstein series. Like it, Singularity feels like an old-school shooter at times, with you blasting your way through enemies trying to get to the next checkpoint. Its mostly satisfying, and combat is solid, but it rarely excites as much as other contemporary shooters which have evolved to require a bit more skill from the player. In fact I only died once in the entire game (had I known it would be such a breeze, I’d have definitely upped the difficulty to ‘hard’ from the offset). Yet despite this lack of challenge, I never felt bored because the aforementioned pacing is so good, and because Raven have clearly understood what ideas these games did well. Its just that they haven’t quite managed to pull them off to the same standards. Watch out for mutants... Powered by the ever-popular Unreal Engine, Singularity looks rather dingy on the graphics side of things. Every object you manipulate with the TMD is nicely animated though and there’s lots of fancy particle effects going on in virtually every scene. It can’t hide from the fact its a multi-platform release thanks to some muddy textures, but generally the game looks good throughout. I found it a bit strange that whenever a character speaks to you, they stare at one particular spot even if you are no longer standing there, and I encountered a bug where corpses sometimes would float horizontally through scenery until they were out of sight, but it happens so rarely its easy to overlook. Anyone who’s played an FPS in the last few years will likely find Singularity a familiar experience, but one not without its charms. It has enough fun ideas within it to feel unique, and I can honestly say I enjoyed every minute of it. By the time I reached the game’s ending (of which there are 3 possible outcomes, all determined by your decision at the very end), I felt like I had got my money’s worth. Expect to find Singularity on the cheaper side of £20 very soon, and if you have a yearning for a slightly old-school shooter with a whole bunch of modern shooter mechanics thrown in for good measure, I’d recommend picking yourself a copy up. That is, if you can find one… This entry was posted in Game Reviews and tagged raven software, review, singularity. Bookmark the permalink.

To learn more about Victoria Schwab, please visit her website, blog, Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, and Tumblr. And don't forget to check out The Near Witch and keep an eye out for The Archived! Publisher: Hyperion Publishing Date: August 2, 2011 "The Near Witch is only an old story told to frighten children. " "If the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely, and always looking for company. " "And there are no strangers in the town of Near." These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life. But when an actual stranger--a boy who seems to fade like smoke--appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true. The next night, the children of Near start disappearing from their beds, and the mysterious boy falls under suspicion. Still, he insists on helping Lexi search for them. Something tells her she can trust him. As the hunt for the children intensifies, so does Lexi's need to know--about the witch that just might be more than a bedtime story, about the wind that seems to speak through the walls at night, and about the history of this nameless boy. Part fairy tale, part love story, Victoria Schwab's debut novel is entirely original yet achingly familiar: a song you heard long ago, a whisper carried by the wind, and a dream you won't soon forget. Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books. Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive. Da first brought Mackenzie Bishop here four years ago, when she was twelve years old, frightened but determined to prove herself. Now Da is dead, and Mac has grown into what he once was, a ruthless Keeper, tasked with stopping often-violent Histories from waking up and getting out. Because of her job, she lies to the people she loves, and she knows fear for what it is: a useful tool for staying alive. Being a Keeper isn't just dangerous-it's a constant reminder of those Mac has lost. Da's death was hard enough, but now her little brother is gone too. Mac starts to wonder about the boundary between living and dying, sleeping and waking. In the Archive, the dead must never be disturbed. And yet, someone is deliberately altering Histories, erasing essential chapters. Unless Mac can piece together what remains, the Archive itself might crumble and fall. In this haunting, richly imagined novel, Victoria Schwab reveals the thin lines between past and present, love and pain, trust and deceit, unbearable loss and hard-won redemption. Be watching Victoria's blog as you wait for The Archived--she has this super cool feature going on called Making History, and you'll definitely want to look into it.

Bowdoin College took down SUNY Poly in four sets in the first match of the invite on Saturday (25-8, 17-25, 25-12, 25-17). The Wildcats then fell to local foe Hamilton College in straight sets (25-19, 27-25, 25-20). SUNY Poly is now 5-14 on the season. MATCH 1: The Wildcats got off to a slow start on the day, as they fell behind 17-2 in the first set. The Polar Bears of Bowdoin would take the set handily over SUNY Poly by a score of 25-8. The Wildcats, however, would bounce back in the second set. Makayla Hulett (Colonie, N.Y.) had two consecutive kills to start the set. From there, SUNY Poly was able to take the lead and hold on to take the set. Bowdoin would prove to be too much for the Wildcats in the third set. Led by kills from Ashley Williams, Bowdoin took a 2-1 set advantage over SUNY Poly. The fourth set was more of the same for the Polar Bears as they jumped out to an early lead and took the match. The first set was neck and neck to start with Hamilton holding an 11-10 lead. The Continentals then went on an 8-1 run led by Emma Parkhurst's three kills. The Wildcats could not recover, and would eventually drop the set 25-17. SUNY Poly came out hot to start the second set. Sydney Johnson (Nine Mile Falls, Wash.) and her strong serving effort brought the Wildcats to an early 5-0 advantage. Hamilton would eventually claw their way back into the set, and the Wildcats found themselves in a tie at 25-25 with the Continentals. Two points later, Hamilton took the set. The third set and final set was also a hard fought battle between the two teams. Unfortunately for SUNY Poly, Hamilton College proved to be too much as they took the match with a 25-20 victory in the final set. NOTABLES: Karlie King (Liverpool, N.Y.) led the Wildcats in kills in both matches, totaling 23 on the day to go along with three service aces. As a team, the Wildcats recorded a combined 22 service errors in the two matches, while their opponents had 12 service errors. Makayla Hulett had 15 kills for SUNY Poly. Sydney Johnson recorded 46 assists on the day for the Wildcats. The Wildcats return to action on Tuesday October 2nd to take on Cortland State. The match is set to begin at 7:00pm in Cortland.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0078.json.gz/line220

Scout26 Armed Polite Society > Main Forums > Politics > I'm voting for Ron Paul Author Topic: I'm voting for Ron Paul (Read 20018 times) Re: I'm voting for Ron Paul Quote from: Headless Thompson Gunner on October 21, 2007, 05:40:25 PM Yeah yeah, vote for Ron Paul. Even though he's shrill and whiney. Even though his message falls somewhere between asinine and absurd. Even though he doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of winning. Even though he'd make a terrible President. At least voting for Ron Paul will make you feel good, right? Might as well stay home and masturbate. That's just as likely to influence national politics, and it'll make you feel better. This is the kind of arrogance that cost the Republicans both Houses of Congress in 2006, and will likely cost Republicans the Whitehouse in 2008. Every day the Bush Administration remains in office the Republican party loses more support. Manedwolf Quote from: GigaBuist on October 21, 2007, 05:24:55 PM I wouldn't call saying "people in New Hampshire are opposed to the war" delusional. There's some evidence to support that conclusion. Do you live here? No? Well, funny thing...I do! And I talk to people, and see people, and overhear people! Wow! I live here, I think I know better than you what's going on here! GigaBuist I live here, I think I know better than you what's going on here! Yes, I'm sure you do. However, elections are determined by how people vote, not by who people Manedwolf has talked to or how many pro-troop bumper stickers you see. Look, you called Ron Paul delusional for suggesting that New Hampshire has a significant number of anti-war people in it. I pointed out that both of your current reps in congress are against the Iraq war in its current incarnation. You could have contested that point of data a number of ways. The simplest would have been to downplay the importance of the Iraq war in NH politics. That would have forced me off on a hunt to find pre-election press releases, or stories, on the candidates elected in 2006, showing that they were wearing the anti-war badge with honor. Ron Paul is not delusional in thinking that his anti-war stance might gather him support in New Hampshire. I don't think I need proof to show that Ron Paul is delusional on most topics. He does that himself every time he starts his high-pitched shouting, and gets boos from the audience. If you think it pained them to acknowledge that, think again. Anything that indicates public (especially conservative) disapproval of the Iraq war is gold to the media. I've been thinking again for the last thirty-five years; the media that you refer to is owned, operated, and a tool of the international oligarchy of which I speak. One of the primary means of controlling large populations is called divide and conquer. Very old hat political psychology. The Hegelian dialectic; thesis versus antithesis - for controlled change. If you think that those who run CNN, ABC, NBC, FOX, the AP, NYT, LA Times etc are somehow opposed in ideology and agenda to those that run the WH - think again. http://searchronpaul.com http://ussliberty.org http://ssunitedstates.org vernal45 The Debates last night were very telling about Mr. Paul. And a prime example why he wont get the nod or the big chair. I've been thinking again for the last thirty-five years; the media that you refer to is owned, operated, and a tool of the international oligarchy of which I speak. Freemasons! Zionists! ILLUMINATI! foam drool ... CAnnoneer They probably do not consider themselves any of the above. However, they do exist, in a more or less organized conglomerate. Notice that since the quantum leap in communications in the 19th c., there has been essentially a single empire or a system of like-minded empires being tasked with policing the world to ensure the security of international business. The British naturally became that policeman in the 19th c. due to their uncontested naval hegemony and their large system of colonies and semi-dependent state. The French helped as well, in Africa and South East Asia. To a much lesser extent, so did the Dutch and even the US (barbary pirates, later the Phillipines). Notice that the Germans got smacked down WHEN they built a modern navy to contest the world policeman. But WW1 bled the policeman dry of money, people, and political will, setting it up for the knockout blow in WW2. So, a new policeman was necessary and the US was made to step in. Now we are being forced to repeat the calculated mistakes of the British, bleeding ourselves dry while providing world policing from which we extract disproportionately less advantage. The obvious conclusion is that our gov is being manipulated by conscious or unwitting moles, to do the bidding of international forces who care little about our own well-being or security as a country. In this new century, I would not be surprised if China takes over as the world policeman. Alternatively, unrestricted immigration in the US can prop us as the policeman for a few more decades, until the UN wankers finish building their global government. fistful Former DI Brian Lane, UCOS Would you pass me my crocodile? I've been thinking again for the last thirty-five years Well, that's nice. Join the club. None of your last post explains why it would so pain the media to report on the popularity of Ron Paul. They showed no such qualms about a conservative, pro-war Democrat named Jack Murtha, when he began denouncing the Iraq war in very strong terms. As I said, whatever their true goals may be, the media has a good track record for celebrating opposition to the Iraq war. Ron Paul is a welcome development. Don't blame me: I voted for Trump Quote from: vernal45 on October 22, 2007, 02:55:33 AM Oh, you mean the one in Florida where you had to apply to get tickets to the debate by filling out a political survey that measured your approval for the war in Iraq and Bush's moronic foreign policies and were then subsequently approved or denied based on those answers? Nah, the audience wasn't rigged at all... Truth is treason in the empire of lies - Ron Paul Headless Thompson Gunner Quote from: Finch on October 22, 2007, 04:07:52 PM Do you think the Dems would allow a vocal Reaganite into their debates? They won't even let Fox News into their debates. Not that it matters, particularly. If anything, it's a smart move to keep some control over these audiences. It prevents issues similar to what we had with Code Pink harassing Gen Petraeus recently. There are plenty of loony leftists that would love to infiltrate a Republican debate and cause trouble. Fistful, I know; like their track record of reporting the invasion. Like the shots of Baghdad square during the toppling of Saddam's stature .. the cheering, thronging "crowd" .... that barely occupied enough ground to make any "positive" filming possible at all. Like Chalabi's hired thugs "thronging" the streets of Baghdad, tearing up posters and other trappings .. the "V" signs .. the cheering and chanting .. as if even a fraction of the population of Baghdad was overjoyed at their "liberation" and "filled the streets". How very co-operative of them. I suppose the "pro-war republicans" made some kind of "deal" with them; just for a day, maybe? Or; "it was a big mistake" on their part? Divide and conquer. Say; did someone mention secret societies? Oh yes. And as a matter of fact so did George W Bush; the one he stated is, "so secret [he] can't talk about it". The one that his "arch ideological enemy" and "opposing candidate" and fraternal brother John Kerry responded about in like manner. John F Kennedy spoke of secret societies as well. read; http://www.jfklibrary.org/Historical+Resources/Archives/Reference+Desk/Speeches/JFK/003POF03NewspaperPublishers04271961.htm Or watch and listen; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR1yXR2E_M8 So a president - or candidate - can be a member of a secret society today, speak of it, and nonchalantly brush off any further explanation. And not surprizing that certain core economic, political and related agendas at home and overseas march on regardless of which "party" is in office. You mean a fraternity for dorky rich kids at Yale? tinfoil alert, tinfoil alert! In typical Limbaugh/Hannity/Bushbot fashion, you didn't address the issue-that the audience was screened to include only pro-war, anti Paul bias. Instead, you introduced a complete red herring with a tirade about 'leftiists'. Nobody (except the above captioned L/H/B's) are buying this nonsense anymore. If you want to be taken seriously, you'll have to come up with something substantive. Wait a minute. Did Riley just tell HTG how to be taken seriously? Seriously? LOL funny! LAK, none of that is relevant to my point, either. The media spends a lot of time reporting on anti-war stalwarts like Sheehan, Murtha, etc. This is not controversial or deniable. So why would they be reluctant to acknowledge that Paul has a following? If the media is such a tool of the globalists, why would they even report on Paul, anyway? You say they had to admit it. Why? Pejorative labels such as "Bushbot" are ever so substantive. The only tangible indication of "anti-Paul" bias would be opposition to positions [he espouses] as indicated by a survey response. Without getting into an argument over where the Republican party should be, I think it evident that Paul is more ideologically aligned with the Libertarian party. Clearly, he has a different stance on issues than the organizers of the Orlando debate (and a good deal of the Republican party, I might add). Anyone who takes umbrage at the audience at a partisan debate being screened in a partisan fashion is being somewhat naive. Finally, I don't really care about the audience reaction. Ron Paul backers are almost exclusively backing an ideology first and candidate second. Regrettably, the candidate (and to a lesser extent, ideology) is somewhat lacking in broader appeal. More than anything else, televised debates measure a candidate's public presence. Ron Paul's has been underwhelming IMO. I wonder if those who champion Paul's "performance" in a debate refer to the political opinions expressed (maybe) or his effectiveness in expressing them (not). I have a good deal of sympathy or support for many of Paul's opinions, but I cannot stand watching him debate. Quote from: RileyMc on October 23, 2007, 10:41:33 AM I did address it directly. I said that screening the audience was a good idea. I said it was something that both parties do, as they should. I listed a one specific reason (out of many) why it's a good idea. I said, in several different ways, that it just doesn't matter. The bottom line is that there's nothing improper about the Republican Party screening the audience at a Republican Party debate based on Republican Party ideals. Whine about it all you like, see if anyone cares. Ron Paul's performance in these televised events are certainly painful to watch at times, but they aren't debates. They're just offering the candidates 30 second to 2 minutes spots in which to spout off on anything remotely resembling the topic at hand. Take for instance Thompson calling Guiliani out on his record on federally funded abortion and gun control. Guiliani didn't use the words abortion or gun control in his response. In a proper format the moderator would force him to answer the topic at hand, but they're not doing that. Gigabu, I agree. But I don't think a real debate is a reasonable goal, given the number of participants and the time constraints. And given that the networks are trying to make some cash on the deal. An actual debate would get miserable ratings. Maybe you agree with all of that; I couldn't tell from your post. Euclidean Quote from: RileyMc on October 19, 2007, 03:04:42 PM And I urge all of you to do the same. Anyone who pledges to get rid of the income tax, abolish the IRS and do away with SS has my vote. Not that it will make any diff here in CA, the Dem will still get the electoral votes. If you vote (yet again) for the 'lesser of two evils', you'll still get evil, in the form of either another big government liberal Republican, or a wacked out Marxist Democrat. Either way is not acceptable IMO. Let's do something different this time. Your vote does count. Use it wisely. Riles and I agree on a presidential candidate. Hell has officially frozen over. Oh, and let's see some of the comments. Quote from: Manedwolf on October 19, 2007, 07:20:03 PM Paul is the Republicans' counterpart to Kucinich. Kucinich is not a pro RKBA candidate, has a completely different approach to abortion (he claims to support abortion but really wants the state to be able to make the decision for you), argues for more environmental regulations, amnesty for illegals, and other stances which could not be further from Ron Paul's talking points. The merits of these issues or ideas is another thing entirely, but it suffices to say "counterpart" implies either that Kucinich is the evil Ron Paul doppelganger (probably what Manedwolf actually meant), or that they both share these views and one just happens to be a Republican and the other a Democrat. I'm sure it's the former and not the latter but I sincerely challenge that statement if that is not the case. Quote from: vernal45 on October 19, 2007, 07:56:27 PM Like Ron Paul or hate him. Agree with him or not. He will not win, or even come close. A vote for Ron Paul to "send a message" is a vote for the Democrats. Plain and simple. Its your vote, just dont want to hear you bitch about Hillary in the white house. This is true because you say so then? So the implication is voting for Paul means I am helping Hilldog. Let's see, if I vote for Paul and not Clinton, that's one for Paul, none for Clinton. Yeah, I don't follow the logic here. And honestly, I'm hoping to send a message to the Republicans. The Democrats are a lost cause at this point. Quote from: CAnnoneer on October 19, 2007, 10:58:07 PM Functionally, Ron Paul corresponds to Ralf Nader. No, one's trying to run on the ticket of one of the only two socially acceptable political parties and the other is not. Quote from: brer on October 19, 2007, 11:50:35 PM If Ron ends up putting Hillary in the white house, so be it. Might be the GOP could start courting the voters that Ron is gathering up. For too many years we have been voting against people. IE keeping dems out of the white house. I think its time to actually vote for someone. An excellent point. Just as the American Socialist party never actually won a presidential election and yet managed to get everything they wanted, that's exactly how advocates of limited government have to proceed. Also, he made a deluded comment in the interview after, that "people in New Hampshire are opposed to the war"...HELL NO! I see "proud parent of a Marine" stickers on cars, no antiwar junk! Being the proud parent of a Marine and your stance on the war have exactly nothing to do with each other. Let's see, an argument based on opinion, insults, with no substantive criticsm, and a vulgar reference to a sexual act to top it all off. All that complaining about complaining, and there's not even a suggestion to an alternative course of action. Persuasive indeed. Such resplendent eloquence motivates me greatly to vote for Dr. Paul if these are the best arguments his critics can offer. Quote from: fistful on October 23, 2007, 02:23:41 PM Sorry about the less-than-clear post. Somebody was harping at me about unloading the dishwasher halfway through and I lost my train of thought. I had a longer post in response to this, but it's kind of off from the main thread so I'll keep it short. I think it's possible for the RNC and DNC to start running real debates, but they'd have to do it away from the network news stations, perhaps on CSPAN, PBS, or even self publication via the web. However, they're never going to give up their 2 hour infomercials on the network news stations, so it matters not if they're actually possible. They have no incentive to do it. Additionally, the current set-up allows the candidates more wiggle-room. Vague promises and talking points, as opposed to making clear points and committing to specific policies. Or something like that; I'm not quite sure how to say it. Calling these charades "debates" is inaccurate. The candidates do not debate one another; they answer scripted questions to the host, not the other candidates. Essentially, these "debates" are collective interviews, but very inefficient and badly done. The more logical approach would be to have individual interviews, say 30 min with each candidate alone, answering the same list of basic questions pertaining each of the major challenges before the country. Such an approach would weed out the weasels pretty quickly. On a related note, I do not see it as a good sign that the Reps have 10 candidates. This means they cannot agree on much at all, or are too determined to pursue individual ambitions. There really should only be perhaps three candidates: a RINO, a traditional conservative, and a fringer libertarian type. The first and the last would essentially be the comic relief of the debates. Then it would also become possible to have a true debate without an active host, whose job should only be to call security if the candidates resort to fisticuffs. Manedwolf, Skull & Bones is somewhat more than some benign frat club or gathering of dorky rich kids. Not relevent? The "we-hate-republicans-bush-oppose-the-war" media allocated considerable time to people such as Guiliani when it came to 9/11, other issues concerning NY, and now his presidential hopes etc. They also dutifully gave much coverage to the "crimes" of Saddam Hussein, how he "lived a life of gross opulence and luxury while his people starved", pushed people into wood chippers, etc. I recall the fraudulent testimony of the Kuwaiti ambassador's dauhter before Congress that was the "final straw" running into Desert Storm; when it was uncovered as a fraud; not one major network dwelled on it for more than a trifling period of time, and many did not report it at all. Up until recently hardly a peep has been seen or heard about Ron Paul unless it was one of their "political analysts" relegating him to the fringe or denigrating him. I have posted, several times, a link to an online ABC news poll that flat out dropped his name from the list on the poll results page; while people like Giuliani scored miniscule ratings on that particular poll - as opposed to Ron Paul who was above eighty percent - were all listed They only rectified that after being deluged with complaints. Hardly the acts of a major media news player who would have no qualms about "anyone who opposes the war". Undeniable? Let's talk undeniable. Flip back to the footage and shots of Baghdad square and Chalabi's hired thugs. It is undeniable that every major news peddler from CNN to the NYT only broadcast or published that footage and shots that excluded the the real truth. It could not have been any better edited to give a false impression than it was. The media has steadfastly avoided mentioning Ron Paul if at all possible until recently. I was treated to a whole night of CNN about "some of the potential opposition to Hillary (etc) in the coming election" early this year. This same story, as CNN is fond of doing at night, was repeated every hour or less. People like Brownbeck - not considered a frontrunner from the start - had plenty of coverage all night long; Ron Paul? His name was not even mentioned once. And Ron Paul's opposition to the war in Iraq was well-known long ago. The reason why he is being allocated more airtime now is primarily because he has become too popular to ignore - and a great number of people have been active in calling the networks on this. Naturally they have switched gears to try and make him look as foolish as possible, with a not insignificant number of talkshow hosts etc taking pains to sideline or try and make him look as ridiculous as possible. To read your attempt to explain away who controls the media is as absurd as trying to sustain the notion that global socialist Rupert Murdoch does not own and run FOX News.

Why R? V&V&UQ in Finance Why AVCLLC? In uncertainty quantification (UQ), as in other disciplines within engineering, it's never enough to just "get a number"; that number needs to connect to reality in a meaningful and reliable way. Unlike most disciplines within engineering, though, UQ is lousy with methods and practitioners that often deliver results that are neither reliable nor grounded in reality. To put it bluntly: UQ is an immature field. The enduring Bayesian-frequentist debate in statistics is a key touchstone for the immaturity of UQ in general. It boils down to a simple question: Does it make sense to try to compute the "probability" of a non-random event? The Bayesians say it does, and the frequentists say it doesn't. As the scare quotes around "probability" indicate, at AVCLLC, we take the frequentist position on this question. At the end of the day, engineering notions of reliability are frequentist notions of reliability. And those notions of reliability are fundamentally and provably incompatible with Bayesian notions of "coherence," which require that all uncertainty be represented via probability theory. In fact, Dr. Balch helped to prove that incompatibility. Forced to choose between a practical notion like reliability and a philosophical notion like "coherence," we at AVCLLC choose reliability every time. That being said, we do think that the core Bayesian goal – to deliver a belief or plausibility function that describes what the data say about a given situation – is essentially correct. That is the goal of uncertainty quantification. It's basically in the name! But that goal, taken on its own terms, is not generally achievable via pure probability theory. Fortunately, we live in the 21st century, and probability theory is not the only game in town. It is, of course, still the appropriate framework for representing aleatory uncertainty, but epistemic uncertainty requires a different approach. In particular, possibility theory appears to be an adequate framework for representing most forms of epistemic uncertainty, including uncertainties arising from statistical inference. Moreover, problems involving a mix of aleatory and epistemic uncertainty require a framework that subsumes both possibility theory and probability theory, like Dempster-Shafer theory or credal set theory. At AVCLLC, we specialize in novel UQ methods rooted in these frameworks. Our methods run the gamut from strategies for computing nuanced epistemic uncertainties on model inputs to numerical tools for propagating those uncertainties through models of varying complexity to heuristics for diagnosing failures in more traditional methods. That last item may seem a little esoteric, but it's vitally necessary in a field as immature as UQ. It's one thing to instinctively know that a UQ result is wrong; it's quite another thing to be able to explain why it's wrong, especially when the methods by which it was derived have been uncritically adopted in your technical community. So, if you're picky about things like the reliability of your UQ analysis, then AVCLLC is likely the consulting shop for you, because we're picky about those things too. We have the full suite of capabilities that you would expect from any VVUQ shop, plus a whole other suite of skills that you won't find anywhere else. It's that second skill-set that allows us to obtain reliable and intuitively sensible results where more "traditionally" oriented VVUQ practitioners have failed.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0078.json.gz/line241
__label__cc	0.632396	0.367604	Meet Natalie HOUSE TAKES ACTION TO FINANCE THE PRODUCTION AND PRESERVATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING Contact: State Representative Natalie Higgins, Natalie.Higgins@mahouse.gov (BOSTON) – Representative Natalie HIggins joined her colleagues in the House to pass a $1.7 billion housing bond bill to support low and moderate income housing throughout the Commonwealth. The legislation recapitalizes funding for a variety of programs and extends several housing and economic development tax credits. “With the passage of this bond bill, we renew our commitment to affordable housing,” said House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo. “I thank Chairs Sánchez, Honan and Cabral and my colleagues in the House for backing a bill that supports many proven programs. I’m particularly proud of the provisions that support housing for those with disabilities and improve facilities used for early education.” “Successful housing finance is a patchwork of state programs, grants, and partnerships,” said Representative Jeffrey Sánchez, House Chair of the Joint Committee on Ways & Means. “Our bill ensures that the state is able to hold up its end of the deal. But beyond the numbers and spreadsheets, these programs help ensure people can have a place to call home.” “This bond bill will authorize $1.7 billion dollars over the next five years for the production and preservation of affordable housing, smart growth development, and much needed public housing capital improvements,” said Representative Kevin Honan, House Chair of the Joint Committee on Housing. “These are critical investments at a time where our dependence on federal funding is uncertain. Housing is the cornerstone of our society and our economy and the provisions of this bill are the tried and true affordable housing tools that are at our disposal. “Housing prices are climbing and affordable housing options are dwindling throughout the Commonwealth. We must make timely investments and address the issue head-on, especially for our most vulnerable population,” said Representative Antonio F.D. Cabral, House Chair of the Joint Committee on Bonding, Capital Expenditures and State Assets. “This legislation is a smart step that will ensure the sustainability of our state’s affordable housing stock.” This legislation prioritizes numerous programs that support vulnerable residents including: Facilities Consolidation Fund - $65 million Provides funding to the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) and the Department of Mental Health (DMH) to house individuals receiving services. Community-Based Housing - $55 million Supports integrated housing for people with disabilities. Home Modification Loan Program - $60 million Provides loans and grants to assist homeowners or tenants with disabilities to make their residence more accessible. The bill also gives DHCD the option to purchase certain housing units designed for community-based DMH housing at appraised value, to preserve affordable housing, within 120 days of the authorization of affordable restrictions. This bill continues the House’s 2013 landmark creation of the Early Education and Out of School Time Capital Fund, furthering its commitment to high quality early education and care programming. This $45 million reauthorization provides facility improvement grants for early education and out of school time programs serving low income children. The legislation authorizes $400 million for the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. This program provides flexible funding to create and preserve affordable housing, ranging from transitional homes for homeless to homeownership programs. It also authorizes $600 million for Public Housing Renovation to help modernize and rehabilitate public housing including updates like the abatement of lead. Other programs include: Housing Stabilization/Investment Trust Fund - $150 million Capital Improvement and Preservation Trust Fund - $125 million Housing Innovations Trust Fund - $100 million The bill features numerous tax credits designed to incentivize building, development and investment for a range of projects. Credits include: Low Income Housing Tax Credit for investors in qualified, affordable, multifamily rental projects. Community Investment Tax Credit - a 50 percent tax credit for individuals who donate to community development corporations. Brownfields Tax Credit Housing Development Incentive Program to provide tax credits to developers in Gateway Cities The bill now goes to the Senate.

At first all seemed well, Draven moved in at The Hill in Orange Homes and the parties continued. Every week Roc would throw parties and people would come from all over to party at the hill. The Hill consited of a property (on a hill) with 4 houses (3 were occupied) and a trailer. This property was owned by J-Roc and was the center of the 440 crew. THe party lifestyle increased and so did J-Roc's involvement with the CFR. After some time Roc was given an offer to join the Rydaz, and after passing initiation he was given the rank of Soulja and allowed to manage his old crew of the Orange Home Homies (440) under the title as CenFL Rydaz. This was possibly one of the largest mistakes in the history of the CFR. The CenFL Rydaz was just getting over the "gang" image, and even though the "party crew" image wasnt much better at least it wasn't illegal. However unknown to the CFR at the time of the merger, the 440 were big into cocaine dealing and other highly illegal endeavors. Soon Matric also moved into The Hill and began partying with the Orange Homes chapter. Not much detail will be reveled here to protect Rydaz, former Rydaz, and other parties involved. But the cocaine dealing and usage got really bad and the emergence of crack cocaine on the hill and in dealings with the 440, caused a few fights among the houses on the hill and Draven was kicked out and had to walk back to leesburg. Matric and Roc stayed with the 440. Draven then moved in with a more laid back crew back home in the LC and Mt. Dora. And so began the era of the Lake County Crew Continue to Chapter VII	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0078.json.gz/line255

These projects will continue centred’s work to build diverse, creative, inclusive and connected LGBTQ communities in London, ultimately improving the well being of LGBTQ people and their family and friends. Together – Equal – Different will provide an accessible events programme, including large scale events and more intimate ones, themed around arts and culture, heritage, social education and the environment; learning opportunities about equality, diversity, and inclusion; and a collaborative action research project exploring the impact of aspirational, celebratory community activities and spaces on LGBTQ experience. Sign up will provide a series of workshops culminating in a major Deaf LGBTQ arts event in May 2015, bringing together creative talent from across the diverse Deaf LGBTQ community. The event will be Deaf led, with friends and family welcome to be a part of the day too. centred will recruit new volunteers, strengthen relationships with the diverse communities it works in and with, including Deaf communities and Black, Asian and ethnic minority LGBTQ communities, and exchange learning within other diverse communities of queer people, and their family and friends. Together – Equal – Different is funded by The Big Lottery Fund’s Reaching Communities programme and Sign up is funded by Awards for All. Participants in centred’s previous work have been integral to the development of Together – Equal – Different and Sign up and to the achievement of new funding. The generosity of feedback and the co-creation of new ideas are what enable centred to continue its work. A participant in centred’s Second Generation project shared ‘being a part of diverse spaces, where difference is placed at the centre of everything, has been challenging but in a good way. I have a much different view of the community now’. This is the community that centred will help to grow. together equal different intersectionality literature review centred has produced a literature review about intersectionality, drawing on publications from within the London based voluntary and community sector. The literature review will be published as part of a HEAR network research project. The HEAR network is a network of London's equalities and human rights organisations, and centred sits on its steering group. The full text of the literature review is below. intersectionality, london based voluntary and community organisations: a literature review prepared by centred What follows is a literature review of publications produced by the London based voluntary and community sector that speak in some way to intersectionality. This was undertaken through desk research and content analysis of publications found. Additionally members of the HEAR network Steering Group suggested publications. The publications included are contained below in an annotated bibliography. This is in no way comprehensive, but aims to offer a selection from different times and different perspectives across equality and diversity. The literature review is limited to publications, and so is therefore biased towards thinking in organisations that may have some resources and a policy or research remit, and some commitment to considering multiple equality issues. Therefore there are gaps and it is not at all representative of all of the thinking around intersectionality that exists, some of which will be further illuminated in the case studies that will be published soon. The aim of the literature review is to situate HEAR’s ‘intersections’ research within the thinking about intersectionality that has been and is happening in London’s voluntary sector. The intention of the literature review is to be a working document, so further suggestions for publications to include are welcomed and can be emailed to contact@centred.org.uk. Intersectionality undoubtedly has multiple meanings and interpretations by sections of the voluntary and community sector, legislators, policy makers, and researchers. By intersectionality we mean people’s identities and social positions being shaped by several factors at the same time, creating unique experiences and perspectives. These factors include among others sexuality, gender identity, race, deafness, disability, age, class, nationality, and faith. These identities and experiences can be changing and contradictory. Intersectionality is a concept that can be used when thinking about complex social positions and identities. This might include when thinking about identity and lived experiences of inequality or when thinking about representation in art and media, as examples. The concept of intersectionality holds that, for instance, one is not a lesbian and disabled, rather one is the combination of these at the same time, i.e. a disabled lesbian. These different elements form and inform each other. In this example one’s identity as a lesbian is formed by one’s identity as disabled, and vice versa; the elements of identity cannot be separated, are not lived or experienced as separate. From this perspective it can be unhelpful to make comparisons between different ‘equality groups’, e.g. between ‘lesbians’ and ‘trans people’, or to imagine ‘hierarchies’ of equality, e.g. between race and sexuality, because when doing so the existence/experiences of trans lesbians, and Black, Asian and ethnic minority (BAME) LGBT people, are marginalised or misrepresented. It can also be unhelpful to think in terms of ‘multiple identities’, or ‘multiple discrimination’ (though this is how it is conceptualised legally), as identities and experiences are not layered on top of one another; rather they are intersectional, formed of different elements at the same time. The inclusion of multiple identities in equalities policies does not necessarily equal an intersectional approach. In practice intersectionality is less about bringing two different things/groups together, e.g. older people and disabled people; and more about considering the experience of older disabled people, people at the ‘intersection’ of older age and disability. Theoretical approaches to intersectionality include: questioning and widening categories (e.g. through the use of more ambiguous labels like ‘queer’, and umbrella terms like ‘trans’); using categories strategically to understand continuing inequalities; and focusing on neglected points of ‘intersection’ in order to reveal the complexity of lived experience. Themes emerging in the literature Several themes emerged when looking at the literature overall. Competing concepts The tension between different conceptualisations of identity and discrimination, as intersectional as opposed to ‘multiple’ or added together is evident in the literature reviewed. In 2005 the Age Reference Group prepared a paper called ‘Age and…Multiple discrimination and older people’ where identity was conceptualised as ‘layered’, with different parts on top of one another. In contrast some of the publications, for instance one by the Southall Black Sisters (2010) and Safra Project (2003) deal with the complexity of the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity and faith at the same time, without separating these elements of identity from one another. Additional disadvantage The literature holds that compounding, co-constituting factors of identity often create additional disadvantage, i.e. experiences of discrimination, oppression and exploitation are heightened at certain points of intersection. This was particularly highlighted by the Refugee Council (2002; 2005). While language and financial problems would delay or prevent access to social services for asylum seekers and refugees, the reports emphasise a lack of coherence and conflict between different service providers, making information about entitlements and solutions for such groups even more difficult, often resulting in added stress, anxiety and absence of support. At the same time as there is disadvantage, however, the occupation of intersectional identity can be a source of power, perspective, aspiration and creativity: ‘it seems to be true that centres of creativity tend to be at the intersection…where beliefs, lifestyles and knowledge mingle and allow individuals to see new combinations of ideas with greater ease’ (Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi). Heterogeneity and discrimination within communit(ies) Many of the publications stress the heterogeneity of ‘community’, often using instead the term ‘communities’, and resist generalisations that are assumed about particular kinds of people in policy and practice. Discrimination does of course happen within communities, a product of power imbalances, and people inhabiting positions of privilege and oppression at the same time. For instance MBARC (2009) report that some LGBT asylum seekers have experienced racism when trying to access services from single issue LGBT organisations. The Southall Black Sisters (2010) found that several of the women in their study reported vulnerability to exploitation under the current immigration rules from people within their communities. There are no safeguards for these kinds of exploitations as asylum seekers and refugee women do not have access to other essential support due to institutionalised legal discrimination. Women in their study also experienced exploitation from faith based groups. Harsh immigration and asylum policies may in certain cases encourage a culture of dependency on faith based organisations, creating further social marginalisation: ‘The pastor helped me when I was crying and said that I had nowhere to stay and he announced in church and a sister agreed. I have kept moving because they can’t keep me for long because they have families. They take advantage of me – doing the house chores and you have to do the cleaning and shopping and sometimes you are tired but you just have to go because you are at their mercy. You just can’t let them down. Sometimes, I am not in the mood for cooking but just have to do it because you are in their house.’ (2010: 45). There is an ongoing imperative for single issue equality organisations to consider the heterogeneity of the community they serve or represent, which in practice involves thinking through all equality issues. ‘Women’ for instance are also simultaneously racialised, trans, deaf, disabled, of faith, young, old, lesbian, bi, queer, and refugees. Services/activities meeting/not meeting the needs of people with particular intersectional identities A consistent theme is that services and campaigning that do not account for the complexity of intersectional identity are inadequate, and can be discriminatory. This includes specialist services targeted at a particular community, which may still treat that community as homogenous. Several publications make the point that discrimination based on one part of identity cannot be effectively challenged without accounting for people’s whole identities; there is a need to view people holistically, understanding their particular needs within a wider context. A number of cross cutting issues emerge in the literature, affecting people in many equality groups. These include poverty, issues related to employment, lack of access to adequate housing, mistrust in the police, issues around mental health and isolation, and cuts to services (e.g. Southall Black Sisters 2010; Hove 2011-2012; Kaydamare 2011-2012; Inclusion London 2013). Assessing ‘need’ with and for people with intersectional identities Some of the articles highlight the problematic narratives that can occur when assessing the needs of people with intersectional identities. Voluntary and community organisations but importantly also other actors such as government institutions, may implicate communities in particular politicised narratives that are ostracising to people inhabiting certain identities or harmful to the accessibility of services. While recognition of communities is generally accepted as a requirement to better address the needs of people with intersectional identities, this process must also be held accountable for practices that solidify difference and generalise about communities, and as such ‘other’ particular groups of people. One clear example of this was found by the Southall Black Sisters (2010) in assessing the impact of the cohesion and faith-based policy approach on BME women affected by domestic violence and abuse. The cohesion agenda reproduces a discourse that these women’s communities are homogenous and that the appropriate way to address ‘cohesion’ is through intervention around faith rather than other and multiple points of entry such as gender-based or racialised discrimination. Furthermore, Hove (2011-2012) and Kaydamare (2011-2012) emphasise how a lack of intersectional focus, particularly including socioeconomic factors, contribute to further deprivation in the Zimbabwean community in London. A process of ‘othering’ works to silence the Zimbabwean communities’ needs beyond HIV/AIDS and asylum difficulties (Hove 2011-2012) and the specific needs of young people living with difficult family relationships and unemployment in the face of unresolved immigration status and dispersion programmes (Kaydamare 2011-2012). The importance of active engagement with rhetoric and ‘othering’ discourses lies not only in addressing the specific needs of marginalised groups, but also in creating the space for voluntary and community organisations to differently engage with intersectional identities and needs perhaps more appropriately and widely than oftentimes the current political and economic climate allows (Larasi 2011). The institutionalisation of equality In the context of the institutionalisation of equality into ‘strands’ with the Equality Act 2010 and related developments, some of the articles remind us of the need to continue to think critically in this ‘sector’ of equality and diversity (e.g. Larasi 2011). Yet the economic climate provides narrow funding solutions for equality organisations, and voluntary and community organisations negotiate the risk of further marginalisation when addressing other areas of structural inequality: ‘[It] has increased the fragility of our member organisations who occupy a space that has historically been a socio-political wasteland; one that exists in the intersection between gender and marginalised ethno-cultural identities. Where practitioners attempt to address other areas of structural inequality, for example around sexuality, they have rarely been able to do so in any meaningful, systematic way as they often become anxious about adding further layers to their marginalisation.’ (Larasi 2011: 5). The political and funding climate does not necessarily encourage intersectional working, and indeed can pose as a barrier. Identity groups considered for funding are deemed to hold ‘burdens’ that require profitable solutions. This focus creates competition between as well as within different ‘equality strands’ for funding and further hinders organisation’s abilities to address intersectional and holistic issues (Women’s Resource Centre 2009). The decline of generic and specialist infrastructure and second tier support further impedes the development of holistic services. Intersectional visibility and monitoring identities Monitoring of different groups and access to information, whilst sensitive, are vital to mapping needs and aspirations and providing appropriate services within an intersectional approach. For example Latin American groups in London argue that Latin Americans are made invisible in the UK immigration records of ethnic diversity. While the monitoring system itself is problematic, the exclusion of Latin Americans from the one routinely used in the UK is a barrier that prevents visible representation and substantial development of Latin American diaspora identities – both within the UK as a host country and within their respective communities (Rodriguez 2014). Monitoring in terms of sexuality, transgender identity and religion/belief remain voluntary and therefore patchy in many sectors, and groups continue to be excluded from national statistics. Monitoring for deafness and for specific disabilities is rarely undertaken. Organising intersectionally in London Finally, there is a huge amount of organising around intersectionality in London currently. Many of these publications are published by organisations that work explicitly on the intersection of two or more equality issues. The London LGBT Almanac, a detailed analysis of the London LGBT sector, finds that at least 40% of London LGBT organisations are intersectional organisations, which are disproportionately underresourced, but are a growing and thriving part of the London LGBT organising environment nonetheless. If such a detailed analysis of any other single equality sector were to be pursued it is likely that a similar picture would emerge. On the ground, intersectionality involves the representation and consideration of multiple identities and perspectives. Diverse representation at the level of individuals can facilitate an intersectional approach. Intersectionality in London’s voluntary and community sector: annotated bibliography prepared by centred Age Reference Group on Equality and Human Rights (2005), Age and … Multiple Discrimination and Older People: A Discussion Paper. Available from: http://www.ageuk.org.uk/Documents/en-GB/For-professionals/Research/Age%2...(2005)_pro.pdf?dtrk=true ● Age may trigger additional layers of discrimination: ‘Anyone who has experienced disadvantage because of their sex or race or religion or sexual orientation or disability earlier in life is thus likely to be additionally disadvantaged in old age’(12) Discrimination earlier in life increases the risk of further disadvantages in old age. ● Most services for older people are still ‘one size fits all’, i.e. few services catering for the specific needs of older LGB people and other specific groups of older people. They are usually not considered in wider policy reviews and thus specific needs of older people with multiple identities are often overlooked. ● ‘disadvantage amongst older people cannot be effectively tackled without taking account of both the discrimination (due to their gender, race, disability or sexual orientation) that people carry’ (31) Hove (2011-2012) Beyond HIV and Asylum: a Look at the Wider needs among the Zimbabwean Community in London (From a Women’s Perspective). Available from: http://www.scribd.com/doc/116832976/Beyond-HIV-and-Asylum-a-look-at-the-... ● While most previous attention paid to the Zimbabwean communities in London focus on risk of HIV/AIDS and asylum difficulties, this reports argues that the communities’ complex needs are heavily based on more common place hardship such as poverty and financial demands, poor working conditions and family issues. The problems faced by the Zimbabwean community are varied but not disconnected and must be treated as such. ● This report highlights its focus from “a women’s perspective” in order to emphasise the need to consider that some of the major difficulties that the communities meet are disproportionally felt by Zimbabwean women. For example, long working hours and financial demands require the men in the family to chip in by doing housework. The report draws on research that shows that the influence of different gender roles and work requirements in the UK in addition to the lack of extended family support may lead to breakdown in marriages and families thus creating single parent families. Further, loneliness was indicated as a large problem, especially amongst women with long term illnesses such as HIV. ● The report recommends that the host country of (Zimbabwean) immigrants must create an enabling environment to address the issues stemming from different experiences between the home country and host country. Inclusion London (2013), Inclusion London’s response to the Mayor’s Policing and Crime Plan Consultation. Available from: http://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/Inclusion%20London.pdf ● Multiple discrimination increases the risk and impact of hate crime on disabled people. Disabled women are twice to four times more likely to experience sexually based crimes including DV. While there are no current data on the impact upon disabled LGBT people it is through anecdotal reporting assumed to be common. Disability hate crime is rising but is not being met with growing support from the police. ● Key issues for disabled people concerning the Mayor’s Police and crime plan are that disability hate crime and violence are not taken seriously by the police. Disabled people have low confidence in the police’s understanding of Deaf and disability equality; perceived or actual lack of access for disabled people to report crimes; ‘stop and search’ practices that target young and particularly BME men, some of whom have learning difficulties and mental health issues put disabled people in a particularly vulnerable position and increase lack of trust in the police. ● Disabled people who wish to demonstrate against the austerity cuts need to be assured they are safe to do so. ● Police community engagement structures for deaf and disabled people lack resources and support and access needs for disabled people are inadequate for them to participate and feel their issues are taken seriously. Kairos in Soho (2011) The London LGBT Voluntary and Community Sector Almanac, 1st Edition. Available from: http://www.centred.org.uk/sites/centred/files/documents/London%20LGBT%20... ● Kairos in Soho’s almanac reports the cover of 89 LGBT voluntary and community sector groups and organisations across London. The largest proportion of organisations work on behalf of LGBT, LGBTQ or LGBTQI people (36%), whereas 7% on behalf of young people, 2% on behalf of older people and 7% on behalf of BAME people. 6% of organisations worked on behalf of men only, aside from one organisation, none of these explicitly included trans men. 5% worked on behalf of women only, where only one out of 4 total explicitly included trans women. Only 2% of the organisations recorded were LGB or exclusive sexual orientation organisations. ● Organisations that exclusively target trans people have an average of six trans people on their governing bodies, contrary to organisations that do not explicitly target trans people (while most will still include trans people in the group they represent), which would have less than one trans person on the governing bodies on average. ● There is a relationship between volunteer base and target group. For example, organisations that specifically serve or represent BAME LGBT people have between 66% and 100% BAME core volunteers, while these represent 37% in organisations that do not specifically serve or represent BAME LGBT people. ● Membership and service user base in the sector is dominated by men. For membership, the number of men is twice as large as the number of women. Regarding service users, gay men make up more than twice the user base than do lesbians. Bisexual people make up 6%, trans people 4% and disabled people 3.2% of service users. ● 18% of organisations provided training to mainstream or non-LGBT community of identity organisations, in an effort to improve their activities with diverse LGBT communities. Kairos in Soho (2012) The London LGBT Voluntary and Community sector Almanac, 2nd edition. Available from: http://www.centred.org.uk/sites/centred/files/almanac%202012%20for%20web... ● The second edition of the Almanac centres around the theme of heritage and diverse LBT women’s organising, as an issue that stood out following the publication of the first edition. 20 additional organisations, adding up to a total of 109, have been included, primarily ones that are working with social and arts and culture aims, and three that are exclusively bisexual-led organisation (compared to no such London-based organisations included in the last edition). In addition 40% of the sample is intersectional LGBT organisations that work around a specific equalities area such as race or disability. ● Unique aspects of motivation for LGBT volunteers and activists include the focus on creating, occupying and sharing spaces where one explores mutual identity. People take up different volunteering/organising positions depending on their identity or where they are in the construction of their own identity. Finding community and collectivism, feeling a sense of shared responsibility as well as visibility were other key motivations for volunteers and activists. ● The heritage focus in this edition responds to the limited representation of LGBT people, particularly as we face spending cuts and professionalisation of the VCS, and urges the problematisation of an LGBT ‘community’ and the specification of visibility. It features an array of heritage pieces, among other things stories told by BME and disability activists and recording of local arts and culture projects. Kaydamadare, B. H. (2011-2012) The Difficulties and Experiences of Young People in the Zimbabwean Community of South East London. Available from: http://www.scribd.com/doc/116832737/The-difficulties-and-experiences-of-... ● This research project highlights five important challenges in young people living in the Zimbabwean community in South East London; unresolved immigration status, family relationships, The Dispersion Programme, Employment and Stress. ● For most of the young people involved in the study, unresolved immigration status was their largest issue (71%). The time that the Home Office takes to process asylum applications further contributes to issues of settling down in the community, access to public services, employment and education. ● Many of the young people reported great stress in their daily lives, sometimes contributing to mental illness. ● The lack of funding for and access to non-governmental organisations to assist young people in the Zimbabwean community, in addition to the further limiting of services by other refugee and asylum seeker or welfare organisations contribute to a risk of destitution. Larasi, Marai (2011) Policy: Silence is not an option. Available from: http://www.rota.org.uk/webfm_send/7 ● Written by the director of Black feminist organisation Imkaan, this article outlines the organisation’s approach of critical thinking toward policy development as a second tier organisation working for the development of the Black, ethnic minority and refugee (BMER) led violence against women and girls sector. ● With the political and economic climate, cuts in services and the government’s position on multiculturalism, Imkaan’s member organisations are facing further fragility. While the intersectional space they inhabit is already devoid of proper political attention, practitioners who struggle to address other areas of structural inequality and identities are anxious about doing so as it may further increase their marginalisation. ● In engaging in policy making and research, Imkaan highlights the importance of critical thinking in the process of offering a voice where there is none. As an example, the article highlights Imkaan’s effort to engage with the use of language in the GLA report looking at ‘harmful practices’. Imkaan’s engagement with its ’othering’ of BMER women through such language makes visible the need for an intersectional approach that is careful to avoid exoticisation but at the same time highlights the need for a specialist response. MBARC (2009) Over Not Out: The Housing and Homelessness Issues Specific to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Asylum Seekers. Available from: https://www.metropolitan.org.uk/images/Over-Not-Out.pdf ● While many asylum seekers now have available various support facilities through the voluntary and community sector, LGBT asylum seekers may often feel excluded from these services and experience or fear the experience of discrimination from their own ethnic or national communities, and faith based organisations may also perpetuate negative attitudes and prejudices. It is sometimes assumed that LGBT issues are marginal within Refugee Community Organisations given the lack of data of LGBT service users. ● The report indicates that LGBT asylum seekers often initially seek support from larger generic LGBT organisations, and their experience has not always been positive, particularly with those engaging with the more commercial LGBT groups, due to service users’ lack of finances and sometimes racist attitudes from the LGBT organisations. ● However, in London, multi-issue focused organisations combining both LGBT and asylum or ethnic identity issues have provided support. Although these organisations are hard to find and often lack resources and funding. Thus, LGBT asylum seekers are shown to have an increased vulnerability and depend on casual or circumstantial support. Young men are perhaps particularly vulnerable to sexual exploitation from casual friends, some turning to sex work for survival. Patel, Pragna and Sen, Uditi (2010) Cohesion, Faith and Gender: A report on the impact of the cohesion and faith-based approach on black and minority women in Ealing. Available from: http://www.southallblacksisters.org.uk/sbs/cfg-report-copyright-sbs.pdf ● This report highlights the impact of the cohesion and faith-based policy approach on black and ethnic minority women who have survived domestic violence and abuse (in Ealing), assessing the disconnect between this agenda and the reality of the interview participants in the study. ● The state’s adherence to cohesion policies born out of an agenda to prevent ‘violent extremism’ and its subsequent focus on relying on religious leadership as spokespersons for minority communities alienates ethnic minority women. The study demonstrates that relying on non-elected leaders to represent any given group is undemocratic, especially when there is a deep distrust amongst ethnic minority women of religious authorities. In addition, the focus on community as single entities is problematic as communities are always divided among various levels of power. The privileging of such religious authorities replicates and accentuates the inequalities felt by women within their respective populations. ● While the cohesion approach assumes people of BME backgrounds ‘belong’ to their respective ‘communities’, this had little resonance with the respondents. The idea of community and belonging are spaces of continuous negotiation through common practices and spaces irrespective of ethnic backgrounds. BME women inhabit a mixed world in terms of religion and ethnicity, where they feel more secure than in faith-based enclaves. ● Racism has a major impact on the sense of belonging for ethnic minorities in the UK. The division that racism creates within neighbourhoods and communities is at best left unchallenged, at worst reinforced through othering by the cohesion and integration agenda. ● The cohesion and faith-based agenda undermines the existing secular spaces enabled through the voluntary, statutory and legal sectors, from which ethnic minority women can negotiate their differences and develop values based on shared common humanity predicated on justice, gender and racial equality. Refugee Council (2009) The Vulnerable Women’s Project Good Practice Guide: Assisting Refugee and Asylum Seeking Women affected by Rape or Sexual Violence. Available from: http://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/assets/0001/7083/RC_Vulnerable_Women_GP... ● This report aims to provide a guide for people who are involved in working with refugee and asylum seeking women affected by sexual violence, showing how the refugee Council approach place the client in the context of her social circumstances and experiences at the assessment stage and how they work with both the client’s internal and external world. ● The first part highlights the importance of sensitivity within the assessment part of working with refugee and asylum seeking women who have experienced rape or sexual violence. It urges the awareness of the perceptions of rape and sexual violence in the woman’s own culture, what kind of support network she has where she is living now, how pregnancy after rape can be triggering in a multitude of ways and her level of daily activity. It was also emphasised that the woman’s asylum seeker psychological state and the stage of their asylum process often have strong links (e.g. increased anxiety in the event of appeal hearings). Her asylum seeker status must also be recognised to have a strong impact on her financial and accommodation support entitlements. ● The second part addresses guidelines for the therapeutic casework that the report recommends, a mix of counselling skills, practical advice and advocacy for the particular client group. Recognising the need for flexibility due to the nature of the client’s status yet providing structure and safety is recommended. The report addresses advocacy on the client’s behalf to various social services and voluntary agencies, or where possible empowering clients to gain their entitlements on their own. Further advocated is advice to provide practical advice and orientation concerning the client, assisting in and addressing cultural readjustment with the client, crisis intervention which is quite common given the client’s status (e.g. refusal of asylum or racial assault in the UK), assisting in normalising and mourning of losses (whether it be feelings of cultural loss and loss of home and status in society or loss of actual people). ● Further guidance highlights gender sensitivity in staffing and interpreting. Refugee Council (2005) A study by the Refugee Council documents the findings of a survey of asylum seekers with special needs. Available from: http://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/assets/0002/8820/Asylumseekersspecialne... ● The majority of the respondents in this study reported that they had lived in emergency accommodations for longer than three months. Emergency accommodation is often found in a poor state because the perception is that asylum seekers are not supposed to stay there for more than a short period of time. Issues range from poor hygiene conditions to overcrowding. This provides particular issues for women and mothers, who are experiencing a lack of privacy (because they often have to share room with their children) and people with acute medical or emotional conditions. ● Access to services for asylum seekers with special needs is left up to the individual asylum seeker and therefore it may be difficult for individuals to identify their own needs, what services are available and how to access these. Once asylum seekers are able to access services, the report states that anxiety may develop toward having to start all over again if they end up being dispersed, and so many put up with poor living conditions. ● No uniformity of services between boroughs reinforces the fear of dispersal, and actions of many social workers reflect this in their unawareness of many of their responsibilities towards asylum seekers. Refugee Council (2002) Support (and lack of) available to refugees and asylum seekers with disabilities. Available from: http://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/assets/0002/8821/disability_jrf.pdf ● This report states that few asylum seekers or refugees with disabilities are aware of social services available to them, how to negotiate social services and benefit systems have led individuals to miss out on benefits and other entitlement sometimes for decades. One common reason was communication and language difficulties, not only due to financial reasons but also due to lack of impairment-related access. ● The combination of disabling barriers and lack of social networks sometimes led to extreme isolation. ● Many service providers were found to be unaware or unfamiliar with the full range of entitlements of disabled people within refugee and asylum-seeking communities. Conflict between reception assistant organisations and local authority social services departments, particularly regarding financial responsibility, resulted in strained relations between agencies. In the worst cases, disabled asylum seekers or refugees would be left unsupported for long periods of time. Rodriguez, P. R. (2014) Monitoring Ethnic Diversity: Does it Pave the Way Towards a Better Implementation of a Public Policy for the Inclusion/Assimilation of Refugee/Migrant Communities in the UK? A Case Study of the Latin American Communities in the London Borough of Southwark. Available from: http://www.scribd.com/doc/206412608/Monitoring-Ethnic-Diversity-Does-it-... ● This report argues that the multi diverse nature of Latin Americans make them invisible in the UK immigration records of ethnic diversity and recommends that in the differentionalist system that is the norm in the UK a ‘Latin American box’ would give a chance, especially to second generation immigrants, to make visible representation and help develop their own identity, both within the host country and their own communities. ● The methods used by ONS makes it difficult to record the presence of Latin Americans in the UK as it studies migration flows based on ethnicity rather than using other methods of recording, such as those that include native language and dialectal forms. ● It argues that a number of different factors need to be pointed out in order to account for the diversity within Latin Americans in the UK in order to understand how their Diaspora identity is formed differently. Especially with reference to country of origin and social extract, which the report argues, are crucial in determining work stratification and socialisation within the community, as well as immigration status and risk of exploitation. ● Interviews with representatives from various Latin American Diaspora organisations documented that the recognition issue was of high priority for Latin American Recognition campaign (LARC) and Coalition of Latin Americans in the UK (CLAUK) very much integrated with the advocacy and work for access to employment rights and health rights. While they acknowledged that proper ethnicity monitoring cannot be seen as a goal in itself, and is inherently problematic in particular in relation to the multi-ethnic region, they argued that it would be a significant step toward providing space for Latin American identity in London. Safra Project (2003) Identifying the difficulties experienced by Muslim lesbian, bisexual and transgender women in accessing social and legal services: Initial Findings. Available from: http://www.safraproject.org/Reports/Safra_Project-Initial_findings-2002.pdf ● The report aims to increase awareness of issues and highlight the needs of Muslim LBT women for better access to appropriate social and legal services. ● The main aims of this report are: ● To identify and raise awareness of the issues Muslim LBT women face resulting from their sexual orientation and/or gender identity within the context of their ethnic, cultural and/or religious background. ● To identify some of the difficulties Muslim LBT women experience in accessing appropriate social and legal services. ● To highlight needs and make recommendations for more accessible and appropriate social and legal services. A summary of recommendations can be found at the end of this report. ● The report presents initial findings from two workshops and a subsequent conference, with 15 organisations and 30 Muslim LBT women taking part or contributing. There was additional input from members of the Safra projects own personal experiences, and from Muslim LBT women who made contact via phone and email. ● The report covers the following themes: ● Identity and mental health ● Coming out ● Isolation ● Marriage and children ● Domestic violence ● Housing ● Employment ● Asylum ● Recommendations are made relating to ‘Policies and Practice’, ‘Information and Access’, as well as recommendations for further research. Women’s Resource Centre (2010) In All Our Colours: Lesbian, bisexual and trans women’s services in the UK. Available from: http://thewomensresourcecentre.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/IAOC.pdf ● This report highlights the key issues affecting different groups of lesbian, bisexual and trans women, tracking the literature that describes the (lack of) services and support for, and information about these women in the UK, and the extent to which existing services are underfunded. ● Most LGBT organisations rely on volunteers to some extent, many are entirely volunteer run, or are expecting to be as a result of the public funding cuts. This is particularly true for LBT organisations, and even more so for BAME (LBT) groups. ● The report identifies several barriers to further LGBT support, relating particularly to access to funding and the need for infrastructure support, again relating particularly to LBT organisations. Many LGBT organisations work across large areas (both geographically and in terms of issues) in order to provide service for a broad range of users but also to acquire enough funding, as a result of the lack of recognition about the size and real diversity of the LGBT population and subsequent variety of service needs. The report alerts concerns that there is little infrastructure and second tier support for LGBT organisations, and that they as a result become “add-ons” to existing mainstream support, which again may be detrimental to vulnerable groups within the LGBT population. ● Many groups specifically supporting LBT women have closed down in recent years due to funding issues. This includes LBT disability organisations and LBT DV initiatives but more seriously BAME projects (2 out of 11 found were no longer running their services) as they are found to be particularly underfunded. Special interest groups within the LGBT community are as a consequence often being subsumed into generic (LGBT) services, resulting in the risk of losing out on a unique understanding of these organisations and their service users, including marginalisation and lack of access to women-only services as an example. ● While there is a general issue both ways in LGBT representation and influence on government decision-making that involves the communities, tokenism (one group speaks for all) and lack of L and B women getting involved in governing bodies and issues of public decision-making are of particular concern. ● Lesbian organisations have virtually disappeared as part of a gradual fall in funding for the women’s sector and little is known about LBT social, economic, sexual and health experiences so their needs cannot be met. LBT women receive double discrimination when they face invisibility both in society at large as well as within LGBT organisations. LBT women with multiple identities can experience even further intersectional discrimination and subsequent marginalisation within both spheres. ● LBT women’s organisations are particularly marginalised in terms of funding and political influence, as the definitions of need must be recognisable to the funders which consequently excludes many specialist services that only serve LBT women. Only 1% of all women’s organisations surveyed between 2004-2007 were LBT specific organisations. The LGBT community is often 'problematised' for example that it is often framed within and HIV/AIDS perspective, and thus LBT women are often excluded from funding frames that give privilege to gay men. Again, this is reproduced by lack of data and evidence about the LBT community, especially required for funding recognition. ● Women-only spaces and groups have proved particularly valuable for women who are in minority and marginalised groups so that they can run their own specialised services. The report argues for cohesion and integration developed by both ‘mixed’ (in terms of servicing women from diverse backgrounds) and separate spaces for women of specific minority groups. Women’s Resource Centre (2009) Women Thinking Equality: the Summing Up. Available from: http://www.engender.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/WTE-The-Summing-Up... ● The need for control in society, in particular in relation to supporting a market economy, sustains the proliferation of discrimination of ‘isms’ that can be exploited for profit (e.g. women and BME people). People who are seen as systematically non-exploitable are termed useless (e.g. old or disabled people) ● The education system sustains the huge disparities in society that feeds systemic exploitation and reproduction of the elites. ● Human care and human wellbeing do not have a value or do not count within the market and are thus seen as non-contributory to our economic system; in particular when the market system is based on an assumed male career model. ● The education system, media, peers, family and in general the understanding of history supports the idea that success can be measured through earnings and success in the market place, even more so for the groups that are discriminated against than those who benefit from the system. The strong focus on individuality leads to strong stereotypes that reproduce such discrimination on a wider basis, because it supports the ideas that tell us it is more important to be successful as an individual than as a group to challenge systemic discrimination. ● The report calls for equalities work to start addressing these problems of systemic discrimination of ‘isms’ in the name of a profitable market economy, to drive arguments forward that support a shift in focus to a new system of value, where the measuring of aspects of life should be valued through self esteem, equality, happiness and freedom and unpaid contributions and participation within communities that would allow for the recognition of multiple selves and thus all the contributions we make in our lives would be recognised, not only the ones that contribute to tax revenues and paid work. ● The report argues that such a shift would be possible if we detached the idea of education as formal schooling and attainment of academic qualifications. Electoral politics creates a fear of difference, and hinders real coalition. The state’s approach to identity politics, and sought after solutions and the description of subsequent discriminations are bound up with ideas of burden and the idea of otherness identified with these particular groups. The focus on identity groups also creates competition between various equality strands to receive money and funding to tackle their specific discrimination. Focusing on equal human value is the only way to secure equality, through education of our self-worth within and together with our communities. ● While this report provides initially many interesting points to the direction of equalities work it arguably simplifies its case. The report could benefit from including more on neoliberal co-optation of identity politics rather than its complete devaluation of it. Privileged individuals within discriminated identity groups do benefit from the fact that neoliberalism oftentimes both acknowledges and hinders equality values of ‘isms’ and this presents problems that must be connected to how equalities organisations work. For example, there is not just competition between the various strands of equalities as is argued in the reports, but how these (in)equalities are defined within their own discourses, who they represent and how they justify certain representation. centred partners with Rainbow Jews and the Jewish Museum London for history tours throughout February Mon, 03/02/2014 - 16:28 -- ashlee Throughout February centred has partnered with Rainbow Jews and the Jewish Museum London adding additional content to complement the current tour, highlighting LGBTQ Jewish heritage in Soho, as well as Soho's broader Jewish community.

Invitation to make a proposal to contribute to the London LGBTQ Learning Network event: intersections centred is inviting proposals to contribute to the 30 July London LGBTQ Learning Network event: intersections. This is the final Learning Network event that will be funded by the original Big Lottery funded In Our Name project. The event, which is for diverse LGBTQ and equalities organisations, artists, organisers, volunteers, activists, funders and infrastructure organisations, aims to: • Celebrate everyone’s participation in the Learning Network since it was launched in 2010 • Create a space for fresh engagement, new thinking and debate around intersectionality, equality and diversity in relation to organising and activism The event aims to bring diverse contributors including activists, organisers, academics and artists together around intersectionality, with presentations and multimedia contributions. Contributions could be: Spoken/signed presentations of between 10 and 20 minutes Diverse performances/films of up to 10min Visual art/photography that could be displayed in the event space The most general statement of our politics at the present time would be that we are actively committed to struggling against racial, sexual, heterosexual, and class oppression, and see as our particular task the development of integrated analysis and practice based upon the fact that the major systems of oppression are interlocking. The synthesis of these oppressions creates the conditions of our lives. – Combahee River Collective By intersectionality we mean people’s identities and social positions being shaped by several factors at the same time, creating unique experiences and perspectives. These factors include among others sexuality, gender identity, race, disability, age, class, nationality, and faith. These identities and experiences can be changing and contradictory. The concept of intersectionality holds that, for instance, one is not a lesbian and disabled, rather one is the combination of these at the same time, i.e. a disabled lesbian. These different elements form and inform each other. In this example one’s identity as a lesbian is formed by one’s identity as disabled, and vice versa; the two elements of identity cannot be separated, are not lived or experienced as separate. From this perspective it can be unhelpful to make comparisons between different ‘equality groups’, e.g. between ‘lesbians’ and ‘trans people’, or to imagine ‘hierarchies’ of equality, e.g. between race and sexuality, because when doing so the existence/experiences of trans lesbians, and BME LGBT people, are marginalised or misrepresented. Approaches to intersectionality include: questioning and widening categories (e.g. through the use of more ambiguous labels like ‘queer’, and umbrella terms like ‘trans’); using categories strategically to understand continuing inequalities; and focusing on neglected points of ‘intersection’ in order to reveal the complexity of lived experience. If you are interested in learning more about the theories of intersectionality, as background, centred can provide resources, please contact us: contact@centred.org.uk or 020 7437 6063. If you are interested in proposing a contribution on intersectionality in relation to organising and activism at the event please respond with a 50 – 150 word description of your proposed contribution, including: • an overview of what your contribution will be • format (e.g. spoken/signed presentation, performance etc.) • technical requirements (if any) (e.g. projector, audio, performance space) • cost (we have a modest budget for contributors and this will be prioritised to ensure access and inclusion; we would anticipate anybody in a paid role that concerns these issues to present on a pro bono basis) If you have an idea that you would like to talk through before submitting a proposal please contact us: contact@centred.org.uk or 020 7437 6063.

__label__wiki	0.58979	0.58979	Robert Plant “I Am A Golden God” Photo Taken At The Hyatt House On The Sunset Strip By raul on October 2, 2015 in Led Zeppelin One of my favorite Led Zeppelin era photos of Robert Plant is the famous “Golden God” photo showing Plant in 1975 looking down from the Continental Hyatt balcony to a large billboard on Sunset Boulevard advertising the Led Zeppelin album “Physical Graffiti.” Here’s another angle of Plant on the same balcony that actually shows the Led Zeppelin billboard. The photo was taken at The Continetal Hyatt House aka “Riot House” (now Andaz) a 257-room hotel located at 8401 Sunset Boulevard, West Hollywood, California (at Kings Road). In the late 1960s and 1970s the hotel became the preferred accommodation in Los Angeles for traveling rock bands, due largely to its close proximity to popular clubs such as the Whisky a Go Go. It was during this time that it was given the nickname “Riot House“ on account of the wild antics carried out by band members there, most notably those of English rock groups such as Led Zeppelin, The Who and The Rolling Stones. Here’s a photo taken from almost the same angle recently Plant was looking over. The balconies have since been covered with glass.

__label__cc	0.551383	0.448617	Highlighting the Positives from Mongolia When the clock read somewhere around 7:15am EST and RaVaughn Perkins had just fallen to Edgaras Venckaitis from Lithuania, it was easy to chalk the previous night’s (or day’s, if you were in Mongolia) events as a disappointment. After all, the US group of Jesse Thielke (NYAC, 59 kg), Perkins (NYAC, 66 kg) and Joe Rau (Minnesota Storm, 98 kg) did not qualify their weights at the 1st OG Qualifier in Ulaanbaatar, meaning they will have to give it one last try in two weeks. There is no doubt that what took place may have seemed like a letdown for fans of the US Greco team, a fanatical bunch who wanted to see the wrestlers get it done in the worst way. Thing is, focusing on perceived negatives doesn’t usually lead to success for anyone. It’s also a little short-sighted. Because there were certainly some positives to glean from each American competitor. Jesse Thielke, 59 kg If there is one thing yesterday showed, it is that Thielke can be so good, it almost looks easy for him out there. Now, it might never be “easy”, but the way Thielke turned it on at times provided a clear reminder of what he can do when he just wrestles. Case in point was his passivity call in the second period. As soon as he was dinged, the NYAC wrestler gestured in a “it’s him, not me” kind of way and then proceeded to basically run Guarav Sharma (IND) off the mat for a step-off point. It was more than just a point scored: it was also Thielke’s way of showing that he was engaged and ready for war. Back-tracking a little, even Thielke’s first points of the match were reactionary and clean. Sharma reached up off Thielke’s lock attempt and paid the price immediately courtesy of a sweet modified slide-by. The reason why the sequences above are being showcased is because they demonstrate just what Thielke can do at different times when he’s out there having fun. It would be speculative to infer why he got caught by Sharma late in the match. Was he getting tight? Did he just want to get the first win out of the way? Who knows? It doesn’t matter now. What does is that Jesse Thielke was the better wrestler in that bout when he was out there just doing his thing. RaVaughn Perkins, 66 kg Perkins went 4-2 in a tough, tough bracket. If this was not an Olympic qualifier and just an in-season tournament overseas, he would have been hailed by all for bringing back a bronze. There’d be a write-up with a headline here and everywhere else with the image to go along with it. First and foremost, one thing needs to be cleared up: Perkins wanted it, and not only that, he displayed an absolutely impressive amount of poise in each match he wrestled. It’s not easy to wrangle Mirambek Ainagulov (KAZ). That dude is a firecracker. Perkins had zero trouble with him. Zero. How about this vicious slide-by? It was as if he was saying, “Get that shit out of here.” Pavel Liakh of Belarus, an experienced competitor who has wrestled on-and-off at the non-Olympic 71 kg, got a first-hand account of what Perkin’s rangy gutwrench feels like. Perkins had plenty of other moments throughout his day. He wrestled an inspired tournament and came extremely close to getting the job done. He also likely learned a little about himself, lessons he will hopefully take with him to Istanbul. Joe Rau, 98 kg To be fair, Rau did not score a whole lot of points in his one match versus Carl Schoen (SWE). In fact, he only scored one, and that was after scrambling out from under a headlock. Carl Schoen had a big day, qualifying the weight in pretty crowded field. Normally, the Swede is a bit of a plodder, someone who hangs on and waits for par terre. The openings one who is familiar with Schoen’s style might have expected to be there weren’t. It happens. That doesn’t mean there weren’t encouraging signs for the Minnesota native. Rau might have had trouble setting up his offense, but one thing he did well was stay in the pocket with a very big, very strong 98 kg wrestler who tries to goad opponents into playing his game. Rau wouldn’t fall for it. Rather, he started off using his feet to push inside, a strategy that disrupted Schoen early on. For Rau’s point, which was the aforementioned escape from underneath a headlock, the notable detail was not in the scramble but in the transition. As soon as Rau found the position, he immediately locked high for a lift or high gutwrench. Neither were there, but the deftness in which Rau attempted the maneuver demonstrated just how agile and quick he can be in this weight class. He got there FAST. On another note, all three US Greco wrestlers were in excellent condition. Not a labored breath to be found. Perkins looked stronger as the day wore on. No one ever questions the Americans when it comes to strength and endurance, but it was evident that for each match, it was the US guy who was in better shape. All it takes now is regrouping and building on the positives as the trio gets ready for Turkey in two weeks. They do have it in them. They just need to put it together.

Anyway, let's start with an old football final from 1955. Two traditional powerhouses Dublin v Kerry and a healthy crowd of just over 80,000 at Croke Park. Kerry won what is now regarded as a classic by 0-12 (no goals, 12 points) to 1-6 (1 goal and 6 points = 9 points). Neo-traditional Irish script and the Irish language is used on the cover but most of the content is (pragmatically) in English. As usual on All-Ireland final day the curtain-raiser was the Minor (under-18.) final, between Dublin and Tipperary. 1975 All Ireland Hurling final. Kilkenny beat Galway 2-22 to 2-10 for a third title in 4 years and their 20th overall. 64,000 in attendance. RoddyN Back for a very occasional updated. Here's the programme and a "rare as hen's teeth" pirate from the famous 1960 All Ireland football final between Down and Kerry. A particularly historic one as Down became the first team to take the trophy north of the border. I think the attendance of near 88,000 was and is a record. The formidable looking Archbishop Croke, after whom Croke Park is named, features on the cover of the official programme.

Judean Kingdom, Anonymous Hasmonean, c. 140 - 37 B.C. A Judaean coin expert informs us that there are nine known specimens of this type, one specimen of this type was discovered during excavations at Mt. Gerizim, and the second best known specimen of this type sold for $12,000 a few years ago.JD97077. Lead tessera, Hendin 1157 (RRR), Meshore TJC -, Sofaer Collection -, HGC 10 -, SNG Cop -, F, scratches, bumps, earthen encrustation, tight flan, weight 2.024 g, maximum diameter 12.1 mm, die axis 225o, Samarian(?) mint, c. 140 - 37 B.C.; obverse double cornucopia, upright rod between, border of dots; reverse stylized palm tree between two blooming lily flowers, border of dots; zero sales of this type listed on Coin Archives in the last two decades; extremely rare; $2000.00 (€1840.00) The Temple Tax Coin, Tyre KP Type Half Shekel, Jerusalem or Tyre Mint, 36 - 37 A.D. At the Great Temple in Jerusalem the annual tax levied was 1/2 shekel per male. The 1/2 shekel and shekel were the only coins accepted by the temple. Some experts believe that after the coinage of Tyre was debased under Roman control, Herod the Great began to strike "Tyre" shekels in Jerusalem. These coins were of cruder fabric and style, but maintained the silver purity required to pay the temple tax. The "Jerusalem" shekels have the letters KP or KAP to the right of the eagle and dates range from PH (18/17 B.C.) to PKE (69/70 A.D.). The Greek letters KP or KAP are probably an abbreviation for KAICAP, Greek for Caesar. SH94461.

The obverse was copied from a very rare Cilician obol (SNG Levante 201). The very interesting reverse appears to depict five coins with owl reverses, presumably Athenian tetradrachms. In "Coinage for Redeeming the Firstborn: An Ancient and Modern Jewish Ritual" in The Celator\|, December 2002, pp. 14 - 22, Ronn Berrol discusses a possible connection to the pidyon haben (click the article title to read it online).

Herod the Great, a Roman client king of Judea, has been described as a madman who murdered his own family and a great many rabbis, prepared to commit any crime in order to gratify his unbounded ambition, and as the greatest builder in Jewish history. He is known for his colossal building projects throughout Judea, including his expansion of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, the construction of the port at Caesarea Maritima, the fortress at Masada and Herodium. Vital details of his life are recorded in the works of the 1st century Roman-Jewish historian Josephus.JD97068.

The ruins are located in the Samaria mountains of Palestine, almost 10 km to the northwest of Nablus. The Assyrians took the city and the northern kingdom in 722/721 B.C. The city did not recover until the Persian period, the mid 5th century. The tensions between the ruling Sanballat family and Jerusalem under the governorship of Nehemiah are documented in the Bible (Ezra 4:10, Neh 4:7–8). Samaria became Hellenistic in 332 B.C. Thousands of Macedonian soldiers were settled there following a revolt. The Judaean king John Hyrcanus destroyed the city in 108 B.C., but it was resettled under Alexander Jannaeus. In 63 B.C. Samaria was annexed to the Roman province of Syria.GS95809. Silver obol, Sofaer 57; cf.

__label__cc	0.530134	0.469866	How to Spot a Psychopath Affiliate pimpage Blogkeeping Nerdery Psycho Science Strange Tales OoooWEEEooooo... 31 December 2006 — dan Listening to 185 different versions of the Doctor Who theme, one after the other, does something to a man. It could be worse, I suppose. After I downloaded the full Whomix archive, I of course had to listen to them all, so I could figure out which ones to keep. I'd downloaded a few of them individually in the past, but who knows what I might have been missing by not getting the lot of 'em? That torrent file is not perfectly up to date; newer versions of a couple of the better mixes have come out since then, as have a couple of completely new worthwhile mixes. Most of the mixes lean on the BBC's downloadable samples quite heavily, as you'd expect, but not all of them do. All official versions of the theme smoothly mixed together, ideal as the soundtrack for the movie in which all of the Doctors (including Rowan and Joanna!) and, what the hell, three Masters and both Romanas get together to prevent the destruction of the universe by, I don't know, 200 foot high Dalek-mecha: Regenerations 2006. A tad long for the normals to tolerate, though, and that mix also makes it even more perfectly obvious to me that the Who theme reached its apogee in the Third Doctor version of Delia's original, when the resonance-sweep start-of-credits cliffhanger screech debuted. In this modern world, a stereo mix is permissible. But that's all you need. The current version with Delia samples and orchestral accompaniment is better than the FM-synthesis 80s versions, but that's not saying much. Version, given the above, that I still wouldn't have minded hearing as the theme for the current series: Positionhigh's remix. Oh, For Pete's Sake winner: Scooby Who. Syncopated Version That Doesn't Suck: Time Tunnel v3, which manages some real KLF swagger. It'll be a good soundtrack if the Doctor ever digs the Whomobile out of UNIT's basement and flies it to a nightclub in 1988. The Alternative Time Mix has some balls on it, too, and also contains a sample of the one moment when Jon Pertwee actually said his famous line (see also). On the subject of the deadly allure of speech samples, A Trip In Time has the least annoying use of them. You do still really need a little chemical enhancement to really enjoy it, though. Most phat and buttery bassline: Trial of a Time Rat v2. Shame about the lead that comes along at 0:44. Dubbiest: The 100% sample-free Jah Humphreys Dr Who Dub Explosion. Best use of a sonic connection that hadn't previously occurred to you: Acid Wilhelm's Blue Whale Mix. Most suitable for use in the Doctor Who/The Matrix crossover ("K-9 needs guns. Lots of guns."): Breakbeats in Time and Space. That version's got a bunch of unnecessary voice samples in it. The "12 inch" mix lacks them, but it's not separately listed on the Whomix site. It's in the torrent, though, as "Doctor Who - 12inchbreakbeats.mp3". Non-Whomix options: Orbital's "Doctor?", Bill Bailey's Belgian jazz version ("Docteur Qui"!), and the downright startling version by "Dean Gray", "Dr Who On Holiday". That last is from the various-artists American Edit mashup album, which was available for direct download for a rather brief period. It is, of course, not hard to find elsewhere.

Hey, the 12" of that Breakbeats mix is available through the site - it's listed as a link under the speech-infected shorter mix. While some of these mixes have potential, I'm yet to hear one I think does the original justice... but then, I grew up hearing that theme at 6pm every weeknight - kinda hard-wired into the braincells by now, I think. :-) jwaddell Says: There's a live version of Orbital's Doctor ? floating around, which has a sample at the start, apparently from the second Doctor (I'm not a big enough fan to recognise it without the help of google!): Victoria: What are all these knobs? 2nd Doctor: What, these? Instruments. These are for controlling our flight. Victoria: F-flight!? Jamie: Well yes, you see we travel around in here through time and space. Victoria: [laughing] 2nd Doctor: Oh no no no no. Don't laugh, it's true! It works really well as an intro, I prefer it to the album version! « Booga booga booga!

__label__wiki	0.574365	0.574365	GoldmanSachs666 Message Board Fraud* According to the Collins English Dictionary 10th Edition fraud can be defined as: "deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage".[1] In the broadest sense, a fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual; the related adjective is fraudulent. The specific legal definition varies by legal jurisdiction. Fraud is a crime, and also a civil law violation. Defrauding people or entities of money or valuables is a common purpose of fraud, but there have also been fraudulent "discoveries", e.g. in science, to gain prestige rather than immediate monetary gain *As defined in Wikipedia The Injustice of Justice: Why Goldman Sachs and Others Go Free I have for many years now asked why no criminal charges have been brought against the "banksters" that run or ran those criminal banks(ter) operations. Yes, The Goldman Sachses of the organized bank(ster) organizations. The Deutche Banksters, the Bansters of America, the J.P. Morgan - Chase gang along with so many more. Financial criminal activity is so prevalent in our society it is almost as if - no it is - an accepted and seemingly normal condition. The American public has obviously learned to live with the fact that we can get "robbed" at our local bank and our local gas station. What is even worse in our so called Democratic Republic is that our Democrats and Republicans all promote and protect this criminal behavior and activity. Indeed, the "Republocrats" are an integral part of this very well organized and criminal enterprise. Without their aiding and abetting through their intentional lack of oversight and enforcement, most of this activity could not occur. Again, I say, if anyone believes that Madoff pulled off his scam without Republocarat assistance then I have a crumbling bridge somewhere in American I would like to sell you. Others feel the same as I do. I know many of our readers based on their comments do. There are a handfull of main stream reporters who do and there are even a few -albeit a very few - who do. One in particular who does is New York Tijmes op ed columnist Joe Nocera. In an article he published on May 6th, You Call That Tough?, he says, Are there any lies that amount to crimes? When it comes to financial executives, it sure doesn’t look that way. He is basically saying the samething I am saying. When it comes to criminal behavior of the bankster gang, our laws are interpreted differently. A lie that defrauds someone lands some in prison. Lies that bring down an entire economy, wipe out a majority of middle class, create a RRecession (yes it was a double capital R recession) causing more foreclosures, unemployment, hunger and homelessness then we have seen in decades. Even more by sheer numbers of people (not percentages) the what we call the Great Depression. Nocera, in his article talks about the actions taken by New York U. S. Attorney, Baharara against Deutsche Bank. Along the way he touches upon some others in the Organized Crime Family of Banksters. I am not sure what it would take for Justice to be truly dispensed in this country anymore. It seems that the "Scales of Justice" have been electronically modified so that when a certain amount of wealth is placed on them they remain level. Yet place a lower economic element on them and they will surely tip strongly against. I know those of us who blog, read and comment on blogs such as this one are a very small fragmented voice. Even Joe Nocera's voice is muted. The powers of the justice system that we somehow are responsible for putting in place do not and will not listen. Some are elected, some are appointed and all of them are deaf to those of us whom they serve. All are public servants - servants of the people. We must break the rule of lawlessness in this country, bring back justice. As it says in our Pledge of Allegiance (does anyone remember that?) "With Liberty and Justice For All". Here is a clip of the first few paragraphs of Joe Nocera's column. The link to the full article is below. It was Tuesday, and the U.S. attorney in Manhattan was proudly unveiling a lawsuit against Deutsche Bank that his office had filed that morning. As he took reporters through the legal complaint, Bharara spoke sternly about how the bank had defrauded the Federal Housing Administration, which had insured hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of bad loans that the bank then sold to investors, reaping handsome fees. Listening to Bharara, one could easily think that prosecutors were finally — finally! — getting tough on the bad behavior that helped bring about the financial crisis. Alas, it was mainly an illusion. Upon closer inspection, it turns out that the main target of Bharara’s wrath was MortgageIT, a smallish division that Deutsche Bank bought in 2007 — eight years into an alleged fraud that ended in 2009. In the complaint itself, not one MortgageIT executive was singled out as a wrongdoer; it was as if this faceless corporation had somehow defrauded the government without human help.

The Unwisdom of Elites So this seems like a good time to point out that this blame-the-public view isn’t just self-serving, it’s dead wrong. The fact is that what we’re experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. The policies that got us into this mess weren’t responses to public demand. They were, with few exceptions, policies championed by small groups of influential people — in many cases, the same people now lecturing the rest of us on the need to get serious. And by trying to shift the blame to the general populace, elites are ducking some much-needed reflection on their own catastrophic mistakes. designer handbags outlet said...

GS666 #4 on TopSites List TopSites says: "goldmansachs666 is the leading source of news, information, comments, opinions and facts about the darker side of goldman sachs." The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the greatest liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth. … H.L. Mencken An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it…James Albert Michener, novelist (1907-1997) It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime. … Thomas Paine 1737-1809, Anglo-American Political Theorist, Writer Laws just or unjust may govern mens actions. Tyrannies may restrain or regulate their words. The machinery of propaganda may pack their minds with falsehood and deny them truth for many generations of time. But the soul of man thus held in trance or frozen in a long night can be awakened by a spark coming from God knows where and in a moment the whole structure of lies and oppression is on trial for its life.: Sir Winston Churchill When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. - Thomas Jefferson When cheaters prosper, we end up with the worst possible system and to call it a free market system is an obscenity. -William Black When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." - Thomas Jefferson I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. Thomas Jefferson - 1802 Don't be afraid to see what you see. ..................................... Ronald Reagan When the people and the government fear Banksters like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, there is economic dictatorship that will destroy the very fabric of our existence as a civilized society. Let me control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws.

__label__cc	0.654458	0.345542	"Break Up the Sound, Now Blow Up the Bass" Creating rowdy electronic music seems like a relatively easy thing to do these days. All you need is a catchy chord progression and a bass heavy drop to do the trick. Not so fast! There's another level of organized madness that AutoErotique and Major Lazer just came through that will make you question those preconceived notions. While The Sound does share a lot of the cookie cutter characteristics outlined above, the ghetto blaster grittiness and tribal rhythms are what set it apart. Yes, it definitely goes hard in the paint like your boy Waka Flocka would say. It's rave quality and sure to get the attention of any listener within a block radius. That's the type of power you hope for when two heavyweights like AutoErotique and Major Lazer team up on a track. Chalk one up for the good guys, this one delivered the mail...#TheSound AutoErotique feat Major Lazer - The Sound Posted by GWDJ at 10:08 PM 0 comments Labels: Autoerotique, EDM, Major Lazer Videos of the Week October 30 If you're looking for interesting and novel, this week is going to be right up your alley. Led by the broken leg, turn doggy-voyeur video from The Chainsmokers, this week was marked by stuff you just don't usually see. The dog/human fist bump at the 1:03 mark is pretty much all you need to see to understand the personalities of Alex and Drew. If gender roles and sexuality are more your flavor, then you'll find Tosh.0's parody of Selena Gomez's Good For You video an interesting watch. Not sure if Carrot Top was needed to drive his point home, but it is interesting that we find women gyrating in no clothes interesting, yet Tosh looks pretty absurd. Last week if you would have told me that there would be a video with Skrillex playing acoustic guitar while Bieber sings vocals in this week's top five, I would have laughed in your face. Touche Biebs, touche! If Terry Crews going ham on stage dancing with Kendrick Lamar is more your pace, then fast forward to the three minute mark of the These Walls video. That video has enough content in it for a short movie, so make sure the popcorn is ready before you hit play. And last, but definitely not least, there was a used car dealer in Wichita, Kansas that officially put an end to all this Nae Nae dance business. You know a dance move has jumped the shark when an old white dude in the middle of Kansas starts mixing your dance move with the Stanky Legg in an attempt to sell cars...#WhipDance The Chainsmokers - Waterbed (Video) Tosh.0 Parodies Selena Gomez's Good For You Video Justin Bieber, Skrillex & BLOOD Perform Sorry (Acoustic) Kendrick Lamar - These Walls (Video) What Happens When a Car Dealer Tries to Sell Whips Doing the Nae Nae Posted by GWDJ at 7:08 PM 0 comments Labels: BLOOD, Car Dealer, Carrot Top, Justin Bieber, Kendrick Lamar, Nae Nae, Selena Gomez, Skrillex, Terry Crews, The Chainsmokers, Tosh.0, Whip Dance Rivers Gets a Vocal Upgrade From Nico & Vinz Prior to hearing the new version of Thomas Jack's Rivers, you would have been hard pressed trying to convince me that the song could be made better. Lucky for us, the original didn't get an entire makeover, just a vocal upgrade from Nico & Vinz. I say upgrade because somehow, some way, the new vocals managed to make the already stellar track just a little bit better. For one, the spoken words are much easier to understand, but they're delivered in the same easy-going, perfect for Trop House fashion. This begs the same question I had when the original dropped - when is the debut album coming? I know a full length EP is asking for a lot, but I'm crossing my fingers that another single will be revealed by the time I see Thomas in perform at the Regency Ballroom in about a month...#ImFeelingLucky Thomas Jack feat Nico & Vinz - Rivers Labels: Nico & Vinz, Thomas Jack, Tropical House "In Zone, Blowin' Strong, Money Long, Limousine" Bang it out the deck GTA! You wanna talk about going hard and not looking back, give this three and a half minute assault on your eardrums a quick listen. Admittedly, I'm not up on a lot of the new Hip Hop and that includes K Camp's recent single Lil Bit, but thanks to GTA I'm catching up. The beat on the original version of the track is as heavy as it is bouncy, giving K Camp plenty of room to weave in and out of a few stellar verses. But the real story here is the snappy Trap upgrade from GTA. Making the pace of the vocals a bit faster and adding a few speaker shattering drops makes a world of difference. If you need a loud, party starter to get you through your hump day malaise, look no further y'all...#LilBit K Camp - Lil Bit (GTA Remix) Labels: GTA, K Camp, Remixes, Trap Big K.R.I.T. and 9th Wonder Work the Guillotine Whenever I think of a guillotine, I think of a violent and swift result. As a result, the title Guillotine Flow came with it expectations of harsh lyricist that would leave the listener thinking that the artist "killed it." While I'm not denying that K.R.I.T. and Rapsody brought their A game, they delivered their bars in methodical, mellow fashion, which was a bit of surprise. The subtly heavy, chill beat cooked up by 9th Wonder was by far my favorite part of the track. The beats he's able to create lend credence to the thought that simplicity is beautiful. You may not leave thinking it's the flashiest instrumental you've heard, but it paves the way for those two artists on the mic to tell a compelling story. That's what a producer is supposed to do and exactly why this 9th Wonder and K.R.I.T. collabo is special despite lacking pizazz...#GuillotineFlow Big K.R.I.T. & Rapsody - Guillotine Flow (prod by 9th Wonder) Labels: 9th Wonder, Big K.R.I.T., Rapsody "Now When You Close Your Eyes Breathe, Just Breathe" At first glance, when two artists with different styles collaborate, it can seem like an oil and water type of mix. That was my first reaction when seeing that Knife Party/Pendulum's Rob Swire and Eric Prydz were getting together on a track. Sure, epic collaboration, but Swire's edgy and rowdy sound matched with Prydz who is known for mellow EDM seem like an odd mix. But that's why you don't judge a book by it's cover kids. Holy crap Breathe is awesome! It's the type of melodic Dubstep that I've grown to love thanks in large part of artists like Sub Focus. Rob's vocals were a nice addition to the track, but the steady bass mixing with ethereal chord progression just wins on all levels. All I have to offer is the Radio 1 rip, but that's more than enough to get me excited for the full version to trickle out...#Breathe Labels: Dubstep, EDM, Eric Prydz, Rob Swire "New York City Please Go Easy on Me Tonight" If you're like me, you've been anxiously waiting for The Chainsmokers to release some sort of multi-song EP. The remixes have been awesome and have continued to ramp up expectations for what the talented duo is capable of creating. It seems the wait is over because their five song Bouquet EP finally landed on iTunes this week as they prepare to embark on 40 city US tour. On the EP you can expect recent favorites Roses, Waterbed, and Until You Were Gone, as well as their mellow new one below. There's a calmness in Olivia Zaro's vocals that resurrected a lot of memories I've created in the city that never sleeps. I know Alex and Drew don't want listeners to get hung up on the fact that the song is about New York City, but the song was nostalgic for me and I've only visited New York a hand full of times. I feel like anyone who visits NYC leaves with a story and while some have better endings than others, they're all memorable. I'm not from New York, but if I was, I've got a feeling that this track would end up being a go-to track for transporting mentally to that feeling of home. Tip of the cap to The Chainsmokers for seemingly working this track to death by producing over 100 versions and finding a way to land on an impactful result...#NewYorkCity The Chainsmokers - New York City Labels: Bouquet EP, EDM, Olivia Zaro, The Chainsmokers There's No Bass Like Wombass I'm not sure if Tiesto has a bucket list of artists he's trying to knock out collaborations with, but here's yet another new and novel addition to his discography. This time he teamed up with Dutch producer Oliver Heldens to put together a crisp and melodic assault on our eardrums. Sticking true to the song title, it's filled with plenty of bass that blends well with the bubbly chord progression. There are enough tempo changes throughout the track to prevent the synth arrangement from feeling too repetitive. It may be a simple track, but it bangs and has enough fuel to ignite any dance floor. Unfortunately, you impatient listeners will have to wait until November 9th to cop this one, so enjoy the Soundcloud player in the mean time...#Wombass Tiesto & Oliver Heldens – Wombass Labels: EDM, Oliver Heldens, Tiesto Videos of the Week October 23rd This week's top five was centered around actual music videos for change. Leading the way was a lot of music touched by Skrillex. His new one with Dillon Francis was as jittery and trappy as you'd expect from the duo. In somewhat of a surprise, he also came to the rescue of Justin Bieber by setting the tone on Sorry. Man, you better get used to hearing that track because it's going to be lighting up top 40 radio for the foreseeable future. For you Hip Hop heads out there, Logic is still dropping weekly videos to cover his recent hits. The kid can spit, there's no getting around that. If you're up for a little nostalgia, then you'll appreciate Hov bringing back a classic on Kimmel this week. Sure the track isn't the same without Alicia's vocals live, but Jiggaman has enough stage presence to carry a concert. And last, but certainly not least, the most meemed video of the past week, Drake's video for Hotline Bling. If you're one of those who love to poke fun at his expressive expressions, this one made your entire year...#HotlineBling Skirllex & Dillon Francis - Bun Up the Dance (Video) Justin Bieber - Sorry (prod by Skrillex) (Video) Logic feat Big Lenbo - Young Jesus (Video) Jay Z Performs Empire State of Mine on Kimmel Drake - Hotline Bling (Video) Labels: Big Lenbo, Dillon Francis, Drake, Jay Z, Jimmy Kimmel, Justin Bieber, Logic, Skrillex, Videos Big Grams Debuts at Treasure Island Music Festival You'd be hard pressed to convince me that there was a better one day ticket than last weekend's Saturday lineup for Treasure Island Music Festival. The likes of Gorgon City, Cashmere Cat, Run the Jewels, Hudson Mohawke, Big Grams and Deadmau5 all spaced out nicely without overlap seemed like a gift from God in hindsight. Rather than a full concert review, here are a few quick tidbits about each... Gorgon City - seeing a live performance rather than a DJ set was cool because there were live vocals in the mix. It allowed their set that was riddled with Deep House favorites to sound unique amongst the other DJ sets. Cashmere Cat - was surprisingly awesome. Maybe I just wasn't familiar enough with the type of music he creates, but it reminded me a lot of Odesza's melodic trap style. His set was the most pleasant surprise. Run the Jewels - you wanna talk about the South's version of the Beastie Boys. EL-P and Killer Mike go in and don't hold back one ounce of energy the entire set. There's no pause, it's just non-stop, in your face Hip Hop and rocking the mic old school style. There's a much deeper message behind a lot of their lyrics, but when it comes to going hard bar after bar, nobody can touch RTJ. Hudson Mohawke - man what can I say, HudMo brought his A game. His set has evolved a lot since I saw him at the Rickshaw Stop a year ago, but adding a drummer and keyboardist made a difference. It was the set I was most looking forward to and it did not disappoint one bit Big Grams - how many times can you say that you saw a group perform for the first time together? Such a cool vibe and their set was incredibly well executed for a first performance. They don't have a ton of music yet, but the crowd got pretty rowdy when they brought Killer Mike on stage. Their set was something I won't soon forget. Deadmau5 - last but certainly not least Joel came through with a show stopping headline set. The production value of his set was insane, as he slowly emerged from an egg looking pod that gradually shape shifted as the set continued. The most interesting part of the set was when he came out from behind the mask and rocked the crowd without his trademark mouse mask. I admire how his sets are always crisp, well-thought out and fluid. I'll admit to loosing it when he broke out the original version of Strobe...might be one of my favorite tracks played live by anyone. Now on to the highlights from the Big Grams set. I included my two favorite snippets from the concert, which was tough because they set it off with Goldmine Junkie, Drum Machine and the Run the Jewels assisted Born to Shine. The lead verse from Fell in the Sun is such a classic Big Boi verse that I hope it doesn't take us years to appreciate how incredibly dope his swagger filled bars sound. Big Grams - Fell in the Sun The biggest surprise of the set was when they mashed up Outkast favorite Ms. Jackson with Phantogram favorite Mouthful of Diamonds. I can't say I was that familiar with the Phantogram favorite, but the audience energy from hearing the Ms. Jackson beat was palpable. Big Grams - Ms. Jackson/Mouthful of Diamonds Mash Up Other than the Okeechobee Music and Arts Festival in March, Big Grams doesn't have any official tour dates announced. I'm guessing that's going to change and when it does, I'd suggest scooping up some tickets because they put on a great show...#BigGrams Labels: Big Boi, Big Grams, Cashmere Cat, Concerts, deadmau5, Gorgon City, Hudson Mohawke, Phantogram, Run The Jewels, Treasure Island Music Festival Baauer Booms and Clangs His Ways Into Our Hearts There are a select few artists in EDM who can create the feeling of surprise every time you press play on a new track of theirs. For me, Baauer sits atop that list because of the wide variety of samples he uses to make music. Whether it's a boom, clang, echo or slap, Baauer throws the kitchen sink at you with every single. His newest creation, appropriately titled GoGo!, is every bit as new and novel as you'd expect. The back and forth synths inspire intrigue as he takes you up the mountain, only to push you off the ledge with a monumental drop that booms and clangs, giving way to an edgy synth repetition. I guess you could say that it's an expected deviation from the mean since Baauer takes so much pride in blazing his own trail. Tip of the cap for continuing to question and push the limits what us listeners have grown accustomed to hearing...#GOGO Labels: Baauer, Trap DJ Snake Gets in the Middle With Bipolar Sunshine Many successful singles have an earworm element that you can't escape. Whether it be sugary vocals, a bubbly chord progression or a sample that you can't get out of your head, there's something about the track that keeps you whistling the beat or singing the hook. In DJ Snake's case, he chopped up vocal samples into an uptempo cacophony of jubilation. Middle is a great example of how you don't necessarily need a hook for a track to be addictive. A choppy, unique sample can be all that it takes. True, the verses from Bipolar Sunshine do an excellent job of filling the space between the beat breakdowns, but there's something about that alarming sound on the sample that will reel you in. Listen at your own risk because this one has the ability to embed itself deep...#Middle Labels: Bipolar Sunshine, DJ Snake, EDM Kanye Gets a Soundcloud Account, the Internet Takes Note It's not everyday Kanye opens up a Soundcloud account and lets loose two new ones. I say two new ones loosely because one is a new version of one of his old songs and another heavily samples The Weeknd's Tell Your Friends. I chose to highlight Say You Will because the original has always been one of my favorite Kanye tracks and not just because Drake sampled it to perfection on Say What's Real... Before you start thinking Ye's new version of Say You Will with Caroline Shaw is going to be appreciably different than the original, check your expectations. It's quite a bit more ethereal, but the lyrics and harmony of the track are a lot like the original. Despite it being eerily similar to the original, I can't hate on it one bit since it's one of my favorites. Now if Kanye would only start posting new tracks on his Soundcloud rather than b-sides and lost verses, then we'd really be talking...#SayYouWill Kanye West feat Caroline Shaw - Say You Will Labels: Caroline Shaw, Kanye West Caspa & Rusko Will Knock Off Ya Blouse an Skirt After seeing HudMo step his live set up to another level last night, I'm starting to understand just how much I appreciate loud horns in Dubstep and Trap songs. Tracks like Chimes and 100hm come to mind if you're looking for some horny examples. I preface this post about Caspa and Rusko's new one with that because it deserves to be in the same loud horns discussion. If you remember back to 2007 when the dynamic duo released the FabricLive.37 and showed us the type of music they're capable of piecing together as CaspaRusko. Now they're back at it again with another loud and bouncy beat that will make your eyebrows raise a bit if you turn up the volume in your headphones. The provocative video below does justice to the song title and is edited in a way that puts to use wobbly transitions that emphasizes the mix of horns and bass. Tip of the cap to the two Dubstep legends and here's to hoping they have more than just this single up their sleeve...#BlouseAnSkirt Labels: Caspa, CaspaRusko, Dubstep, Rusko Kygo Continues to Dazzle on the Keys It's as if Kygo tapped into a long lost art that a whole generation of music listeners hasn't been given exposure to. If anybody other than him would have made the decision to release piano compositions without vocals, you can bet nobody would care. But now, since Kygo has lit a fire under this new incredible thing called Tropical House, we're all listening with baited breath. I can't in good faith say that five years ago I would be listening and appreciating the intricacies of piano compositions, but that's what makes life so interesting. Piano Jam 3 is the most mellow of the three and takes a solid two minutes to start gaining some steam. Out of the three Piano Jams, my favorite by far is the first one, but there are parts of each I'm growing to love. For example, the crescendo on #3 around the two minute and 45 sec mark is really cool and the second Piano Jam has a decidedly Gavin DeGraw-esque ebb and flow to it. I'm sure this new one will grow on me more, but I'm more interested in the meta implications of the PJs as a whole tonight. Here's to hoping there are more developed versions of each track like this one and this one...#PianoJam3 Kygo - Piano Jam #3 Labels: Kygo, Piano Jam Videos of the Week October 16th There were a few live performances that stood out in this week's top five. The first two having to do with The Weeknd's visit to SNL. He's been one act that has alluded me in a live setting, so seeing him on SNL was pretty cool. I'm really digging both of his remixes for The Hills and seeing Nicki's dramatic performance was icing on the cake. In other live performances, Pharrell got everyone and their mom singing along with his performance of Freedom on the Ellen Show, which was cool to see. The mystical ZHU also released some shocking new visuals for Automatic. I won't spoil the plot, but let's just say, I definitely did not see it ending the way it did. And last, but definitely not least, the fake Barack Obama spoof of Trump using Drake's Back to Back beat delivered a nice climax to an eventful week of videos. Much love to the authentic Barack delivery and on point lyrics...#BacktoBack The Weeknd feat Nicki Minaj - The Hills (Live on SNL) The Weeknd - I Can't Feel My Face (Live on SNL) ZHU feat AlunaGeorge - Automatic (Video) Pharrell Performs Freedom on Ellen Barack Obama Back to Back (Drake Spoof) Labels: AlunaGeorge, Barack Obama, Drake, Ellen Degeneres, Kanye West, Pharrell, The Weeknd, Videos, ZHU "I'ma Get it Like Whoa" Despite my on again, off again relationship with Hip Hop there will always be a few notable exceptions. One of them being Logic who always seems to spit on the mic like his next meal depends on his success. What makes him so special you ask? It's the effortless gymnastics he's able to execute as he rolls from one bar to the next. Despite being quick on the lyrical trigger, his delivery doesn't prevent the listener from understanding his message. That's not an easy thing to do without sounding forced, which is why I'm always like bug looking into a lit up light bulb when his music comes on. Shout out to 6ix on the low key production that set the table ever so nicely for Logic to put in work. We're about a month away from The Incredible True Story, which means you have the green light to start ramping up your expectations...#LikeWhoa Logic - Like Whoa (prod by 6ix) Labels: 6ix, Logic, The Incredible True Story Cashmere Cat Tickles the Ivory on HudMo's Forever 1 Having been to hundreds of live shows, I can't tell you how much of a difference it makes when an artist plays/performs something unique to start a set. When I say unique, something that you couldn't be easily purchased or listen to via usual channels like Spotify/Pandora. Something like what you hear below from Cashmere Cat who always opens his set with his version of Hudson Mohawke's Forever 1. Before listening to the remix, check the original below that surfaced on HudMo's Slow Jams VII... While the original has soft R&B vocals to go along with the harmonic chord progression, the remix is 100% piano driven. It's not what you'd expect from Cashmere Cat, which is why I like it so much. Most of the Cashmere tracks I've heard until today have been bouncy and melodic, so hearing a track with a lullaby vibe was cool. This track couldn't have come at a better time for me since I'll be seeing both of them perform at Treasure Island Music Festival this weekend. Such a stacked lineup and now I'm even more excited to see Cashmere's set...#Forever1 HudMo - Forever 1 (Cashmere Cat Edit) Labels: Cashmere Cat, EDM, Hudson Mohawke, Remixes "Til the Sunrise Pull an All Nightah" Last week Kill the Noise dropped a fresh new album that has been the talk of the EDM world. To be blunt, Occult Classic is a ten song musical assault on the eardrums. The most hype of the bunch is without a doubt the Tommy Trash and R. City assisted Louder. You could convince me it's a bit repetitive, but the post-drop madness is worth the price of admission. As a quick side note, about five years ago I posted quite a few Rock City tracks and was always quick to serve them up dap for their writing and vocal abilities. It's cool to seem them crossing over and dabbling into the world of synthesizers. Head on over to Soundcloud to stream the entire album and if you feel so inclined to drop KTN a few dimes, iTunes has your back...#OccultClassic Kill the Noise and Tommy Trash feat R. City - Louder Labels: EDM, Kill The Noise, Occult Classic, OWSLA, Rock City, Tommy Trash Eminem Cruises Over The Hills In hindsight, I thought The Weeknd had a lot of talent, but I can't say I anticipated him reaching the level of stardom he's at now. It seems like every couple weeks he's had another single reach the top of the charts to a point where everyone seems to have taken a liking to his edgy R&B sound. Speaking of edgy, it doesn't get much more rough around the edges than Slim Shady who blessed The Weeknd's latest chart topper with two white hot verses. Like only he can, Eminem tells his own vivid tale peppered with drama, drugs and fluctuating emotion. Unless you're used to his choppy, cliffhanger bars and stop and go diction, it's always a challenge to follow along. But for those that are used to it dissect it, there's always more than a little brilliance in the mix. It only happens two or three times a year, so enjoy this gift that seemingly dropped out of the sky this week...#TheHillsRmx The Weeknd feat Eminem - The Hills (Remix) Labels: Eminem, Remixes, The Weeknd "We Keep it 200 Like the Hits From Altuve" If you would have told me the Houston Astros would be in the playoffs before the MLB season started I would have laughed at you. Fast forward 166 games later and here we are with the 'stros a game away from the American League Championship. Now if only they had a Hip Hop anthem to carry them to the finish line...cue the music...and play... Yep, you better believe Houston legend Bun B came through with a Houston anthem that showed everyone just how much of a hardcore fan of the team he is. He damn near name dropped their entire 40 man roster while lacing his verses with Astros team-isms. For example, Dallas Keuchel being unstoppable at home and Evan Gattis not wearing batting gloves. It underscores Trill OG's ability to pen quality bars and motivate a fan base that has seemingly been awoken from the dead. Not sure about y'all, but I'll be tuning in tomorrow for game four with the hopes of H-Town moving on in the playoffs...#HustleTown Labels: Anthem, Bun B, Houston Astros What TIme is It? Hoody Time! Cincinnati STAND UUUUPPP! Those of you hailing from the glorious state of OH-IO now have a new rising stock on the West Coast to watch. Hoody Time, an up and comer who now calls LA home, just went IN on Marshmello's Home. The feel good beat finally met it's perfect match as Hoody found a way to leverage his massive Instagram following and overall knack for showing people what fun looks like in the video... The word Home engenders a sense of pride and that's the feeling you get when watching the video. The city horizons sprinkled in throughout the constant stream of imagery work well with the theme of the video. It doesn't hurt that the rapid fire lyrics pour gasoline all over the already hype beat. Consider this an intriguing debut with the hope of much more greatness to come...#HoodyTime Labels: EDM, Hoody Time, marshmello, Remixes Videos of the Week October 9th This week was a downright exciting mix of videos. There was no rhyme, reason or discernible pattern to the top five, but on the flip side that created an awesome variety. Leading the way was Sam Smith's new video for the upcoming James Bond Spectre theme. The mix of clips from the movie, orchestral instrumentation and of course, Sam's stellar vocals created a dramatic aesthetic. Along similar lines was Kygo and Ella Henderson's BBC Radio 1 live cover of Taylor Swift's Wildest Dreams. Love Kygo on the piano live and you'd be hard pressed to convince me that the original is much better than the cover. And just in case the first two videos delve too much into real life, Skrillex went all anime with the help of California based visual artist Roboto. I've always loved Ease My Mind, so it's cool to see it finally get a visual story attached to it. If you're a fan for really out-there festivals, you'll enjoy the behind the scenes look at the Gathering of the Juggalos. It was interesting to hear Flosstradamus's take on the gathering as a whole being more communal than they thought it would be. Of course last but not even close to the least, there's the dangerous and underrated-ly beautiful Ronda Rousey. I really hope she and Floyd "Woman beater" Mayweather get a chance to have it out at some point. Until then, I'm going to continue to try and reconcile how someone so physically threatening could be anywhere near that attractive...#Rousey Sam Smith - Writings on the Wall (Video) Flosstradamus Visits the Gathering of the Juggalos Skrillex Ease My Mind (Video) Kygo & Ella Henderson Cover Taylor Swift's Wildest Dreams Ronda Rousey Speaks on Floyd Mayweather Beef and Dresses Scantily Labels: BBC Radio 1, Ella Henderson, Flosstradamus, Gathering of the Juggalos, James Bond, Jimmy Fallon, Kygo, Roboto, Ronda Rousey, Sam Smith, Skrillex, Spectre Old Skool Hip Hop Meets New School House Suffice to say, there's a growing thirst for anything ZHU's name is attached to. His brand of funky House music is like none other and has continued to captivate listeners for the better part of a year. This time he hooked up with Trombone Shorty and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony...yes, that same Bone Thugs we all loved back in the 90s. Interesting doesn't begin to scratch the surface when considering how random and awesome a collaboration like this could be. It's as Deep House as you'd expect from ZHU, yet both Krayzie Bone and Bizzy Bone felt right at home over the wobbly bassline. I don't know much about Trombone Shorty, but I'm going to assume it was him on horns throughout the track. Hold Up Wait a Minute is the epitome of lounge music and I love that it pulls in a wide range of contributions you wouldn't expect would sound good. If you're like me, you're itching for that Skrillex collabo to drop. Although it's only a seven song EP and we've already heard four tracks, it still feels like we have so much to look forward to...#GenesisSeries ZHU & Bone Thugs-N-Harmony & Trombone Shorty - Hold Up Wait A Minute Labels: Bone Thugs and Harmony, Hip House, Thombone Shorty, ZHU "I'm Desperately in Need, This Uphill's Hard to Reach" Sometimes it's better to call a spade a spade and what I know is Stephen (Swartz) is more than your average artist. When it comes to dishing out credit for the success of tracks, I've always swung slightly on the producer side of the fence rather than the artist. The artists that can seamlessly swing back and forth between artist and producer are the true unicorns that probably don't get enough credit for the breadth of their contributions to a track. All that being said, I'm going to fight my innate urge to categorize the type of music that Stephen is making of late. While most will hone in on his vocal abilities, I'm impressed with his songwriting and production. The progression that the beat goes through moves the track along well and helps tell his story of living up to expectations. The use of samples and guitar riffs throughout make for an overall unique sound. If a slice of different is what you're in the mood for, Fly Down is going to hit the spot...#FlyDown Stephen - Fly Down Labels: Stephen Swartz "You've Been Metaphysical" Follow me off the beaten path to a funky world where bubbly synths, quiet strings and subtle piano chords intersect. Simply put, you're not going to hear a song as unique as Metaphysical this week. Led by the awesome vocals delivered by Janelle Kroll, Autograf managed piece together a really interesting concoction of rhythmic and chill. There are beat breakdowns that will leave you in awe at the cavalcade of upbeat instrumentation that is combined together in harmony. If you frequent this property of the internet, you've probably seen a few Autograf remixes I've posted over the past year. If I ever discounted his talents as residing only in the remix world, I certainly apologize for that oversight. Do your music library a favor and add this unique burst of energy so that you can sleep well tonight knowing your collection just got a bit more interesting...#Metaphysical Autograf feat Janelle Kroll - Metaphysical Labels: Autograf, EDM, Janelle Kroll Rubble Kings Got Run by the Jewels To be frank, I'm still amazed at everything having to do with Run the Jewels' come up. Years before Run the Jewels were a thing I took a liking to Killer Mike's unapologetic and brazen flow on the mic. Admittedly, I had less exposure to El-P, but I appreciated that everything track he was associated with, I ended up liking. How they pieced together their under appreciated abilities into something much bigger than both of them combined is something awe inspiring. And just because they've made it to the top of the mountain does not mean they're about to take a break from making great music. This week they let loose a new heat rock that will serve as the theme song to the recent Rubble Kings documentary. Check the trailer if you aren't up on how gangs and Hip Hop collided in New York during the late 1960s and early 1970s... Dynamite is as in your face as you'd expect and it does a great job of setting the tone for the movie. Best part about it, you can head on over to Adult Swim and cop the single for free if you're quick enough...#RubbleKings Run The Jewels - Rubble Kings Theme (Dynamite) Labels: Adult Swim, Comedy Central, Documentary, Mass Appeal Records, Rubble Kings, Run The Jewels Sam Smith's Record Breaking James Bond Theme Song It's hard to believe, but until this week there has never been a James Bond theme song that reached #1 on the UK single chart. I say UK because Bond has always been British character and there are countless songs that people understand to be "Bond songs." Everyone will point to the 1964 Goldfinger theme as the most recognizable, but my favorite is Adele's Skyfall. Enter Sam Smith who pays no mind to prior tracks because he's armed with a voice that is beyond comparison. Sam's new James Bond Spectre theme, Writings on the Wall, is everything you'd ever want in a Bond theme. It is driven by the timeless orchestra sound and accentuated with Sam's incredible vocal range. The emotion dripped song will tug on your heart strings and not apologize for the drama it's able to foreshadow. It won't end up being my favorite Bond track, but Sam Smith deserves all the accolades that go along with having the only #1 Bond single...#WritingsOnTheWall Labels: James Bond, Sam Smith, Spectre, Theme Song Steve Aoki Takes Us on a 28 Song Odyssey While I wouldn't call Steve Aoki my favorite EDM artist, I can't help but respect his ability to keep churning out great albums. I don't think anyone would question how stacked from front to back both Neon Future and Neon Future II ended up being and now we're lucky enough to get a 28 track compilation of new tracks and the best of the first two discs. Neon Future Odyssey is like getting to watch all three Hunger Games at once with bonus scenes added. And here's one of the best bonus scenes featuring the uber talented Borgore. Phenomena is a fun progressive house track with a bubbly chord progression that will suck you right in. Even though it follows the formulaic build up, drop, rinse and repeat, the jubilant synths are what you'll end up remembering. If you're interested in hearing the massive compilation in its entirety, head on over to Soundcloud and turn up the volume...#NeonFutureOdyssey Steve Aoki & Borgore - Phenomena Labels: Borgore, EDM, Neon Future Odyssey, Steve Aoki Videos of the Week October 2nd There is absolutely no rhyme, reason or discernible pattern to this week's top five. Leading off you've got a pretty hilarious documentary by Lil Dicky who take all the stereotypes for creating a rap video and tries to execute them all on no budget. Needles to say, the entertainment level of that is pretty high. I suppose you could loop Disclosure and Kygo's new videos together since they feature types of electronic music. For whatever it's worth, Lorde's performance in the Magnets video was noteworthy and stuck with me after watching it. It seems like every week there's a new after movie from (fill in the blank) festival, so Ultra took their turn this week. They did manage to stand out by shooting in 4K, which is a step up from the usual HD world we're living in. You have to wonder how many people 1) care 2) notice and 3) have the bandwidth to stream at that quality. If you only have time for one quick, highly entertaining video, give the Muppets doing the Nae Nae a shot. It's a minute and a half and choreographed well enough that it will bring a smile to your face...#NaeNae How Lil Dickey Made the $ave Dat Money Video (Documentary) Disclosure feat Lorde - Magnets (Video) Ultra Music Festival Aftermovie The Muppets Sing "Watch Me Whip (Nae Nae)" Kygo feat Ella Henderson - Here For You (Video) Labels: Aftermovie, Disclosure, Documentary, Ella Henderson, Kygo, Lil Dicky, Lorde, Silento, The Muppets, Ultra Music Festival, Videos Avicii Goes Reggae On the Eve of Stories Very slowly Avicii has given us small tidbits of Stories leading up to its release tomorrow. It would appear he saved the best bite for last in the form of the Reggae/Trop House Gonna Love Ya. When it comes to predicting what genre Avicii is going to weave into his own unique mix of dance music, it's kind of like reaching into a bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans. You know it's going to end up tasting good and there's a decent chance you're going to get a flavor you didn't expect despite thinking you know what it was going to taste like based on the color. The sheer fact that he's able to keep creating songs that sound new and novel is a testament to his creativity. I don't know about you, but if you weren't already excited about Stories, this should push you over the top...#Stories Labels: Avicii, EDM, Stories Kanye Gets a Soundcloud Account, the Internet Take...

About each level. ** Please note the age cut-offs are lined up with the schools, therefore kids should start no earlier than Kindergarten. Boys In-House [Scoopers] (Birth dates – Sep 1, 2013 to Aug 31, 2015) The Boys In-House program was developed at the request of our parents of the younger players. Many players wanted to start at age 5 and did so in the scoopers program. Although scoopers is a great introduction to the program it does not involve wearing equipment, and you do not play games. Therefore the organization created the in-house program for those young players ready to take the next step. This program is for 6 & 7 year olds regardless of experience. Just remember that they wear full gear in this program. This is also a low key program. In the past 2 seasons we have had 4 teams at this level. They all practice on the same nights beginning in Mid – March. Once in April, this group will practice 1 night per week and play a game against another in-house on the 2nd night each week. With 4 teams they will rotate each week playing a different team. The emphasis here is still basic skills, scooping, catching, throwing, cradling and shooting. However they are now wearing equipment and it’s a different experience with gloves and helmets on. Coaches also start to teach positions at this level as the kids play 6 vs. 6 on a short field, with no goalies. Every player will receive a reversible practice jersey. 6 year olds have a choice as they can play in the in-house or scoopers program. 7 year olds also have a choice as they can play in-house or clinic. Equipment requirements: Lacrosse Stick (can be less than 40 inches), Regulation Lacrosse Helmet, Lacrosse Gloves, sports shoes (cleats preferred), elbow/arm pads, shoulder pads, cup. There is only minor contact at this level. Practice Schedule: They will practice 2 nights a week with NO Weekends. This allows the kids to travel with older siblings on the weekends. Start date: Early to Mid March, Coaches decision and dependent on field conditions. End Date: Play will wrap up just before Memorial Day. Games: In-house games one night a week beginning in April. Coaches may assemble teams of more skilled players and travel to play other programs like, Centreville and Broadneck. We like to have a minimum of 2 coaches per team at this level. GENERAL REGISTRATION: Clinic – (Birth dates – Sep 1, 2011 to Aug 31, 2013) This program is designed for the 7 & 8 year olds and considered an instructional league. These players do travel and play 1 to 2 games per week. Game schedule does not begin until Mid April. These teams play 10 vs. 10 on full fields with goalies. Coaches at this level still focus on the basics, scooping, catching, throwing, cradling and shooting. They will teach field and game rules. One coach from each team will referee the games. This level uses a modified version of the High School Federation rules with the Anne Arundel County White Rules (found on the AA County Park and Rec Website.) Equipment requirements: Lacrosse Stick, regulation Lacrosse Helmet, Lacrosse Gloves, sports shoes (cleats preferred), elbow/arm pads, shoulder pads and a cup. Optional (Rib Pads) There is full contact at this level. Practice Schedule: Typically 2 nights a week. End Date: League play will wrap up just before Labor Day. Most teams play in the Pinball Tournament on June 1st. Coach’s option. Games: 1 to 2 games per week beginning in mid April. Expect 8 to 10 league games. Once games start teams typically practice once a week. Pee Wee – (Birth dates – Sep 1, 2009 to Aug 31, 2011) This level is for 9 and 10 year olds. Kids play 10 vs. 10 and full contact is permitted. Kids will play on a regulation size field using the National High School Federation rules with some minor modifications. The focus is still fundamentals at this level. Coaches will start to introduce team offense and defensive concepts. Players will see long poles for the first time. All sticks should be regulation and with no stick shorter than 40 inches. Professional Referees will handle all games. Schedules will be available on line however they do not keep track of win/loss records. All teams are invited to the end of season Bilderback tournament where coaches can enter teams based on competitive level A,B and C. This is still considered an instructional level. Equipment requirements: Lacrosse Stick, regulation Lacrosse Helmet, Lacrosse Gloves, sports shoes (cleats preferred), elbow/arm pads, shoulder pads and a cup. Optional (Rib Pads, however they are strongly recommended.) There is full contact at this level. Start date: March 1st, Coaches decision and dependent on field conditions. End Date: League play will wrap up just before Labor Day. Most teams play in the Bilderback Tournament on May 31st. Coach’s option. Games: 1 to 2 games per week beginning in early April. Expect 8 to 10 league games. Once games start teams typically practice once or twice a week. Middies– (Birth dates – Sep 1, 2007 to Aug 31, 2009) This level is for 11 and 12 year olds and is considered the competitive level. Kids play 10 vs. 10 under the National High School Federation rules, with the modified “White rules” on the Anne Arundel County Website. Teams compete in 1 of 4 competitive levels. “AA”, “A”, “B” and “C”. This allows kids to play on teams based on their current skill level which means they are playing competitive ball. There are typically only 4 or 5 “AA” teams and up to 6 or 7 “A” teams. Therefore “A’s” play all the “AA’s”, however the games do not count against “A” bracket standings. “A” and “AA” are the highest level of play. Fundamentals are still taught at this level, along with team offensive and defensive concepts and plays. All competitive levels will compete for an end of season tournament, where a county champion will be crowned. “A” and “AA” winners will move on to compete in the State Championships.

Example: If there are 11 teams in the level only the top 8 may make the playoffs. Juniors – (Birth dates – Sep 1, 2005 to Aug 31, 2007) Highest youth level for 13 and 14 year olds. 9th graders are permitted to play if age eligible. 9th grader playing on the JV team cannot also participate at the youth level. Kids will play under the National High School Federation rules without modifications. Teams compete in 1 of 4 competitive levels. “AA”, “A”, “B” and “C”. This allows kids to play on teams based on their current skill level which means they are playing competitive ball. There are typically only 4 or 5 “AA” teams and up to 6 or 7 “A” teams. Therefore “A’s” play all the “AA’s”, however the games do not count against “A” bracket standings. “A” and “AA” are the highest level of play. Fundamentals are still taught at this level, along with team offensive and defensive concepts and plays. The goal at this level is to prepare the kids to play High School Lacrosse, that’s why they play with the same rules.

First of all, I regained weight and made a lot of friends; before that, me and my sisters felt pretty alone. Here we can share our concerns with the other children, we support each other. Also, the staff is very nice to us, and we have plenty of activities. But above all, I was able to go to school at last; back in the days my mother could not afford to pay our tuition.

__label__cc	0.524865	0.475135	Fashion consumers take note: Our planet is in environmental peril and our obsession with clothing isn’t helping this enormous carbon footprint we’re leaving. Rebecca Burgess is an educator, writer, and natural dye farmer from Northern California who’s trying to make us re-think our wardrobes in myriad ways. First of all, because today’s textile industry is one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gasses on earth—and one of the biggest water polluters in the world—Burgess says we have to de-centralize the fabric supply chain and develop an international system of regional textile communities that will support local farmers and artisans. Six years ago, Burgess committed to developing and wearing a wardrobe of garments whose dyes, fibers, and labour were all sourced within 150 miles of her home. Her efforts were so successful and lauded, that she established “Fibershed”, a resource for creating and hand processing organic fibres and natural dyes into clothing. It’s all part of a growing “slow fashion” movement that’s about turning away from high volume global production and embracing handcrafted, local fare. Rebecca Burgess was in Toronto recently as part of the Textile Museum of Canada’s Conscious Consumption program. I caught up with the passionate eco-warrior to discuss ways that fashion could reduce its ecological footprint, the value of quality over quantity, and the logistics of changing the system. JEANNE: Something that started as a personal experiment blossomed into this incredible movement. What brought you to the point where you wanted to come up with a wardrobe that had all been produced locally and show those possibilities? REBECCA: I was at an airport, sitting in a plastic chair, and CNN was on. I was watching US troops being deployed to Afghanistan and it dawned on me that all of this effort to protect oil resources was something that I was actually complacent with, even though I wasn’t deploying those troops and I wasn’t armed and trying to protect our derricks and distribution lines: I realized that I was sitting in a plastic chair, and my clothes were dyed in fossil carbon synthetic colour and I looked around and every piece of the material culture—even the paint on the wall—had fossil carbon pigments in it. I mean there’s all this that we’re digging and extracting out of the earth’s core for fuel, for colour, for form plastics, plastic clothing—the acrylics, the nylons, the stretchy jeans, all of that. I’m complicit in this war because of my connection and reliance and consumption of these materials that come from the earth’s fossil carbon resources. I was also on my way to the Navajo reservation in New Mexico at the time, about to start exploring these natural dye recipes that were plant based that had been on the landscape in North America for several thousand years. And I thought if I’m going to be writing and publishing about natural dyes and I’m concerned about war and imperialism and people taking from other people, I should probably look at what I’m wearing cause it’s the one arena in which I have some control, because I’m a weaver and I’m a natural dyer. So I just made a commitment that around the time the book would get launched that I would be a role model. I knew I needed to hold my own values true by wearing these clothes. I could no longer be a hypocrite. J: The statistics surrounding this whole arena are scary. It’s astounding just how much waste there is…. Was that something you became increasingly aware of the deeper you got into it? R: Definitely. The wonderful documentary True Cost pretty much sums up for me the core issues around labour, water pollution, climate, and waste. And Green Peace came out with something called Dirty Laundry, all about the wastewater in China related to endocrine disruptors that we’re using in the clothes that are finishing agents. They bioaccumulate in our bodies and don’t break down. Imbalances are created and that’s the core that we know of for environmental causation of cancer, early aging, and weight gains that are unexplainable. A lot of the things that we see in our modern world we can draw back to some of these compounds that are used in the fashion industry. J: What about the high priests of the fashion scene? What kind of reception do you get from those kinds of naysayers? R: I think they’ve dismissed a lot of this. I haven’t actually received a direct naysayer comment from the industry. But I can imagine what their quips would be. ‘So you want regional production? How are we going to clothe the population?’ They can make some very tactically strong points, but my retort to that is that we have communities on the landscape—like in my home community. We’re throwing away and under utilizing over a million pounds of wool that we did a qualitative analysis on and 900,000 pounds of it is wearable—it’s under twenty-two microns. So it could be in your Dior line. It could be whatever you want it to be. You could actually materialize this into something useful which could help your marketing campaign. J: What a great marketing story! R: So if we were to strengthen regional economies around fiber, I think that the fashion world would end up with more material resources to draw from. But brand identity has become most of the driver for how businesses are created. They’re into marketing ideas and they’re not really interested in the supply chain. They’ll chase down the best margins from an entire world. The world is their oyster when it comes to mills. So in a way, they are actually looking for supply chain partners all the time. They’re scouring the landscape for them. Fibershed could have a simpatico relationship with the industry if the industry could start marketing quality clothing, over quantity. J: But it’s also about building awareness for the consumer to want to pull back and rethink their buying habits… R: That would be it. We would need them to come onboard with us and say, ‘Yeah, let’s educate. Let’s use our marketing bullhorn to change behavior!’ We’ll still make money but we might help a lot of small communities and regional economies to stay stable, instead of these very desperate poor economies in Southeast Asia, and Mexico, and South Africa. Instead we could decentralize that and we could have healthy, working communities all over. And you could highlight really skilled artisans again in your supply chain. Wouldn’t that be interesting? J: The whole notion of recycling clothing is becoming increasingly popular—whether it be shopping vintage or just trading clothing with others. How positive is that kind of thing for your cause? R: Part of our solution set is to keep clothes in play as long as we can. The ethical clothing brand ZADY did some analysis and came to the conclusion that if we wore our clothes fifty more times, we would reduce the carbon footprint by half. There’s a new milling program called ‘Ever New’ and it’s all about keeping natural fiber clothes in play. But whether you’re recycling natural fibers or coming together to trade clothes in a clothing swap, all of that has great value because you’re keen into the human need for novelty but you’re not asking for more exploitation J: It’s such a system that you’re up against—truly a David and Goliath scenario. When you think of fashion retailers, it’s what makes their world go round: the newness, the change…. What happens to all those retailers if people don’t need the stores to stock all that new stuff to purchase? R: In countries like Haiti, where we’ve sent all of our used clothing that doesn’t sell at Goodwill or the secondhand stores, there are retail spaces now that will take your clothing and sew new hems or add a piece, or take something out and put something else in. What if you went to a former retail outlet and you brought your old clothes and there were ways to refurbish them through dip dyeing them in natural dyes that had been harvested from rooftops gardens on the top of the store? So when it fades, bring it in and we’ll have a workshop and you pay to have it done. Money will still circulate but it’ll circulate and create novelty but in not an extractive way. It would perpetuate the old but put a new spin on it. J: Like renovation businesses! R: Remodeling! J: Well it’s certainly about changing a system. I’m curious to know what type of person it is that takes on a challenge like that. What kind of kid were you? R: Stubborn. But there’s one bit of my childhood that I think about when I hit a hurdle or see that my values aren’t being reflected in the world around me. I remember as a child having a lot of people who were raising me, because I had a single mom, so a lot of people had to take part. Like, I didn’t know who was picking me up from school. It was kind of like not knowing where you’re going next. So I had to teach myself at a very young age that you are completely okay and here and self-contained. Even if you get to great grandma’s house and no one’s home, you can crawl in through the window and get in. So when things get rough or challenging, I always know there’s a solution. And if I have to be patient and wait for it, in the meantime, I’m okay. And I just self nurture to get through these obstacles. J: I would think you must be idealistic and optimistic in order to keep on carrying this heavy torch, but how long could it take us to really get to the kind of world that you see? R: It’s up to this collective of people on our planet right now to say how much do we want to invest in this system of regional economies, regeneratively farmed agriculture that produces the clothing, and the recycling systems that accompany that. The whole system that localizes is just waiting for our investment. We did a mill feasibility study to see how much would it take to process the wool in our community and produce local cloth. That wool mill would cost twenty-six million dollars. And so I took it to Silicon Valley investors and they said, ‘What’s the demand?’ So I have been road mapping what demand really is. And maybe it’s all of our commitment to just investing in one sweater per year that was farmed locally. If a whole community did that, I could get that that mill off the ground tomorrow. If my small town community of seventy-five hundred people just bought one sweater per year, that would be it! That’s all I need to show—that either a small group has a big interest or a large group has a small interest. J: Are some of these garments that these farmers and artisans are producing for sale on retail websites? R: There are some. There’s the FibershedMarketplace.com for our Northern California community. We have a list of artisans and farmers on our non-profit site and there are sites associated with a lot of these people. If you go on our non- profit site, Fibershed.org, you can see all the communities across the world that are starting to organize and give you lists of all the farmers and artisans in their home communities. The way I got the wardrobe made during the one year challenge was I picked a farmer that I liked—some lady who raised the softest sheep’s wool and was a sweet women to work with. Then I went to a design school and drove a student from the school to the farm. The designer would meet the farmer or rancher, have lunch together, and we’d tour the farm and draw up what the sweater would look like. It was the most beautiful way to get garments made.

__label__wiki	0.728214	0.728214	without oxygen Distracted thinking about a number of topics: Software development, art, computer graphics, simulation, pointless curiosities. Live at Budokan! DIR EN GREY! Anyone old enough to remember the classic 1978 “Cheap Trick At Budokan”? When I was like 12, my friend Dave had a copy and he used to play it at parties, particularly at our other friend Dave’s house where we had parties because his parents were nice people and we got to use their hot tub and sauna. Sometimes there was making out with girls in the hottub, except not by me, or really anyone else but the first Dave who was WAYYYYYY more advanced than the rest of us. I also remember us playing a lot of air guitar in the living room. Also, standing around in the kitchen eating Ruffles and onion dip. It was pretty cool. But I digress. This past Saturday, 1/9/2010, at Budokan, the famous Japanese band “Dir En Grey” was playing. A sound check was happening inside. It was all like Metal and stuff, I guess. At some point they started doing something involving a LOT of bass that made metal stuff on the building start rattling. It really didn’t sound like awesome bass, more like some dude waiting at a stoplight in his crappy Buick, playing gangsta on his crappy stereo and all you can hear is the rattling. As it turns out a LOT of awesome bands have played at the Budokan. It’s where the Beatles first played in Japan. Huh, who knew. In any case, after taking these pictures, I stood around drinking a can of vending machine coffee near some Japanese teens who were sitting around and smoking and then I went to the Crafts Gallery of the Museum of Modern Art. The show there (The Power of Decoration ―A Viewpoint on Contemporary Kôgei) was awesome, but not as awesome as Dir En Grey’s show that night, I bet. (By the way, saying I went to a crafts gallery instead of a rock concert sounds as lame as it makes me feel.)

We’ve read the tales, seen the movies, and occasionally we lean close when told of someone’s personal experience with a ghost. Especially when that someone lives next door. Webster Groves, Missouri is one of the early suburbs of St. Louis, a place with a history that extends back to the days of the Indians, trappers, and Spanish colonial rule and reaches across the Civil War and the St. Louis cholera epidemics right through to today. Some who lived that history have evidently remained. Discover eerie legends and uncanny firsthand accounts of the ghostly and supernatural in a neighborhood like many others—perhaps just like yours—where residents of this quiet bedroom community come home nightly to unseen footsteps; resign themselves to objects mysteriously moving, disappearing, and reappearing; avoid the dark and unsettling corner of the basement; live with a spectral woman lurking on the stairs; and otherwise share their homes with the ghostly and supernatural. Patrick Dorsey has been a natural storyteller his whole life, beginning in first grade when he started stapling together crayoned pages to make his own books. He’s the author of the international hit Knights Templar adventure novel God’s Forge (his first novel published without a stapler or crayons) and the upcoming novel The Champion Sky, both from Legendary Planet (www.LegendaryPlanet.com). Following a lifelong fascination with the mysterious and the unknown that was sparked early in grade school by Larry Kettelkamp's Haunted Houses, he began interviewing friends and neighbors in his community to collect the eerie firsthand accounts that became Haunted Webster Groves.

Bird survival was restricted to areas on the margins of the blast zone where ashfall was the only disturbance. Recolonization of the blast zone occurred very quickly (hours, days, weeks) due to the tremendous dispersing capability of birds. Geologists working in the steaming crater experienced the tremendous dispersal capability of birds first hand as they were dive bombed by hummingbirds attracted to their bright orange flight suits (the birds thought they had stumbled upon the largest flowers they had ever seen!). Ten years after the eruptions, few species are present in the pyroclastic flow, debris avalanche and tree blowdown zones where vegetation recovery has been relatively slow. The common raven (Corvus corax), mountain bluebird (Sialia currucoides) and white-crowned sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys) are examples of species that have returned to the most heavily disturbed areas. The standing dead forests harbor species such as the American robin (Turdus migratorius), hairy woodpecker (Picoides villosus) and red-breasted nuthatch (Sitta canadensis) but lack many of the foliage loving species found in undisturbed forests. Ashfall areas support bird life similar to adjacent, undisturbed forested sites. In time as the blast zone returns to a forested condition we should observe a return of bird life found in adjacent, undisturbed forests. Birds like the mountain bluebird nest in cavities in standing dead trees. Snags provide excellent habitat for birds like the Red Breasted Sapsucker. Ground foraging birds like the dark-eyed junco are thriving.

__label__cc	0.699621	0.300379	oxidation number of carbon in acetaldehyde CH3COOH. Therefore that carbon atom can be reduced to lesser oxidation states such as -1, -3. If we assume that oxygen has an oxidation number of -2 and hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1, then ... x+3+y-2-2+1=0. This problem has been solved! It is possible for different carbon atoms in the same molecule to belong in different oxidation states, for example, in ethanol and acetaldehyde. We present results from an investigation of the oxidative conversion of ethanol into acetaldehyde on Au(111) employing temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and molecular beam reactive scattering (MBRS). x+1+y-2-2+1. While trying to find the oxidation number of Carbon in acetone I discovered that it gives -4/3. Keep in mind that there is nothing "absolute" about the oxidation number. What is the meaning of getting a fraction as an oxidation number? What is the oxidation number for the carbon atom in an aldehyde such as acetaldehyde? These carbonyls are produced by photochemical oxidation of hydrocarbons emitted from a variety of biogenic and anthropogenic sources. Which of the following best explains why?--The C=O is assumed to be on C-1 of the parent chain if it is not specified.--The C=O can only be on C … Is this possible or did I do something wrong? The one–stage process for liquid–phase oxidation of ethylene to acetaldehyde is illustrated in Figure 6–4. Click hereto get an answer to your question ️ Find the oxidation number of carbon in CH3OH . Oxygen is used as the oxidizer at concentrations of less than 10% by using excess acetaldehyde and diluting the reaction with recycle gas. In the simplest case of acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), the formation of PAN proceeds by: (R34) (R35) (R36) Formation of PAN is generally less important as a sink for NOx than formation of HNO3. Update: I deduced the oxidation number this way: 3x + 6 - 2 = 0. Acetaldehyde (9a) is formed by a 2 electron oxidation of ethanol and, in turn, acetic acid (10a) is the 2 electron oxidation product of acetaldehyde. Ethanal is an aldehyde compound. The compound butanone does not need a number to specify the location of the carbonyl group on the parent carbon chain. Ethylene gas (stream 2), oxygen (stream 1) and a recycle gas stream (stream 31) are continuously fed to a reactor vessel containing an aqueous solution of palladium chloride and copper chloride. Question: What Is The Oxidation Number For The Carbon Atom In An Aldehyde Such As Acetaldehyde? Please explain, I want to understand. See the answer. Ethanal (acetaldehyde) : CH 3 CHO; Ethane - CH 3 CH 3; Ethanol - CH 3 CH 2 OH; Oxidation state of ethanal. I'm not sure which you are considering as the "second" carbon. The alkane, alcohol, carbonyl, and carboxylic acid functional groups all appear in this series of compounds. Ethanal can be reduced to ethane or ethanol easily by one step. This specification discloses a vapor phase process for oxidizing acetaldehyde to peracetic acid, acetic acid being formed as an additional product. To evaluate amount adsorbed at saturation conditions a beaker with 10 mL of acetaldehyde was placed in a dessicator along with several 10 mL weighting dishes containing 1g of powdered carbon samples.

__label__cc	0.632618	0.367382	Flashback Monday: Reston, the Satellite City This fancy map shows the growth of the Washington D.C. suburbs by 2000, as envisioned by the National Capital Planning Commission and the National Capital Regional Planning Council for the Washington Area back in the 1960s. And you can see how prescient it was, given that if you drive west of Reston, you're soon enveloped by virgin forest that extends all the way to the West Virginia line. Right? Well, maybe not. But back in the 1960s, these optimistic planners labelled Reston as a "Satellite City," calling it an anecdote antidote to endless suburban sprawl rather than predicting its short-lived future as home of the International Space Station project. What they wrote was pretty much right on the money: Unplanned, uncontrolled growth has blurred the boundary between city and country, while people search in vain for open space, convenient recreation and natural beauty. The malady of urban sprawl -- gas stations, hot dog stands, and dreary rows of "look-alike" houses -- has created an all too familiar blight on the American landscape, These problems confront Washington, D.C. Its area population will jump from two million to five million by the year 2000. Where will these people live? What can be done to preserve the surrounding countryside and woodlands? We'd actually take a couple of "hot dog stands" over cupcakeries, but otherwise this was dead on. Of course, what the planners couldn't have foreseen is that instead of "satellite cities" -- places that integrated housing, business, and midscale retail commercial space -- developers instead focused on "edge cities," places with houses, the odd grocery store, and little else (cough cough Ashburn). They were abetted by zoning laws that actually made it tougher to build integrated suburbs (even our beloved Fake Downtown Gritty Urban Core had to privatize its road system because tall buildings close to sidewalks and streets ran afoul of county building codes that favored midsized office parks surrounded by acres of parking -- an oversight that was literally just fixed in the last two years). We'd say it was no way to run a railroad, but MWAA now owns the exclusive rights to that phrase forever, the end. Labels: 20190, Flashbacks I think you mean "antidote" instead of "anecdote". Interesting how in the 1960s it appears the growth would mostly occur along the Columbia Pike (US-29) corridor in eastern Montgomery Co. while Tysons Corner and the I-270 corridor appear much less developed. Who knows what the thought was on Manassas... AuntieMarci August 1, 2011 at 6:43 PM I think that was s'posed ta be "anticdote." Peasant From Less Sought After South Reston August 1, 2011 at 7:44 PM It looks like The Blob That Ate Northern Virginia...mwaa hah hah hah!

(2007). Photopollution impact on the nocturnal behaviour of the Sugar Glider (Petaurus breviceps). Pacific Conservation Biology. Volume 13. Numéro 3. Pages 171-176.. Résumé du document : Night light pollution is an important environmental problem impacting on many animals including a variety of insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. While some impacts of night light pollution are well-known such as misorientation of sea turtle hatchlings and deaths of migratory birds, other less obvious impacts on reproduction, communication, competition, and predation have recently been reported. As some natural areas in New Guinea and Australia face agricultural and industrial development, conflicts between wildlife and photopollution will add to existing problems of habitat fragmentation and degradation. I report on the photopollution impacts on the nocturnal behaviour of the sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps). Captive sugar gliders were monitored using a "super nightshot" camcorder for baseline nocturnal behaviour following a 12 hour daylight/12 hour dark regime. Treatment consisted of 12 hour daylight/12 hour simulated ambient low and high luminosity street light photopollution (average 7.0 and 12.0 lux). Over 575 sugar glider-hours were analyzed. The results show marked behavioural impacts under high luminosity treatment, including almost total cessation of high level activity. Although impacts were reduced under the low luminosity treatment, even 7.0 lux reduced foraging time. This is the first report of photopollution impacts on sugar glider foraging and activity levels. Further research, particularly with wild populations, is needed to elucidate the extent of photopollution impacts on sugar gliders and their endangered and vulnerable relatives.

Tony Evers signed Executive Order #103 calling a special session of the Legislature at noon on Tues., Jan. 19, 2021, to fix and modernize the state's broken unemployment system. The governor also introduced his plan, LRB-1312, to do just that. “I’m announcing today I will be calling a special session of the Legislature to take up a plan to modernize our unemployment system and help ensure nothing like this happens to the people of Wisconsin again,” Gov. Evers said in his State of the State address. “We know that replacing this system will take years—that’s why it should’ve been done sooner, but it’s also why we now have not another moment to waste. No politics, no posturing, send me the bill and let’s just get it done.” Since the beginning of this pandemic, there was an unprecedented influx of unemployment claims, exceeding the number of claims even during the Great Recession. Over the course of four years from 2016 through 2019, the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) handled 7.2 million claims. Since March, the DWD received 8.8 million claims alone—1.6 million more claims than the four previous years combined. The Department increased staffing in the Unemployment Insurance Division from about 500 employees to 1,800 employees to answer phone calls, process claims, and follow up with individuals who applied for benefits. During this time the DWD paid nearly 600,000 claimants more than $4.6 billion in unemployment insurance benefits. Gov. Evers' plan, LRB-1312/LRB-1430, appropriates over $5.3 million so that the DWD can start immediately working toward modernizing the UI system, without having to wait for the conclusion of the budget process. Of this, $481,700 is for the request for proposal (RFP) process to hire consultants and select a vendor for the modernization, and the remainder is for the initial round of payments under the Master Lease Program. Using the Master Lease Program will help minimize upfront costs while still moving expediently toward upgrades. Additionally, the bill provides for a potential clawback of state dollars should the federal government provide additional resources to states to fund UI modernization for which this project is eligible. Any federal dollars that are appropriated would need to be used first. Finally, the bill contains several provisions related to electronic methods for engaging in transactions, such as making electronic communication mandatory, with a good cause exception, and specifically permits the use of electronic records and signatures for UI. These changes will allow for more efficient communication with and service to claimants, employers, and other entities. Overall, the proposed investment would total approximately $90 million over 10 years toward modernization to provide better, faster services to future claimants and improve the system’s ability to respond to future recessions.

He’ll be at the Roundhouse Community Centre for World Food Day celebrations on Oct. 16, along with the Vancouver Food Policy Council. Here’s my review of his book, originally published in the Literary Review of Canada. If you google “food” and “revolution” in Chapters.Indigo, eight titles will pop up—not including diet books. Include the search words “movement” and “food” and another 10 show titles up. The world is alive with eagerness to change our imperiled food systems. Joining these new books is Nick Saul and Andrea Curtis’ inspirational saga of growing The Stop, the Toronto “community food centre”, into international prominence over the last 14 years. The authors chronicle pivotal moments in the against-all-odds growth of a small anti-poverty organization into something that is rare, if not unparalleled, in all these “revolutions” and “movements”. (Although the book is co-written by award-winning writer Andrea Curtis and her husband Nick Saul, they note that “it is written in Nick’s voice, as the story … charts his 14 years at The Stop Community Food Centre.” For simplicity, I’ll often refer to Saul as the author in this review.) The opening pages of the book put The Stop in perspective. They describe a scene where superstar chef and good food advocate Jamie Oliver (also author of Jamie’s Food Revolution) jumps out of his black SUV and takes a tour of the Green Barn. Saul describes that building as the “pretty face” of the organization, in contrast to the “sprawling community centre in the bottom floor of Symington Place, a public housing development in one of the city’s poorest and most underserviced neighbourhoods.” The latter is “the gritty heart of The Stop’s operations” (p. xiii). At the end of the tour, Oliver rests a hand on Saul’s shoulder and says, “You know what, brother? I’ve been all around the world and I’ve never seen anything like this place.” (p. xiii) Toronto food activist and author Wayne Roberts (The No-Nonsense Guide to World Food) has been rightfully critical of the premature celebration of a food “revolution”. The current good food zeitgeist is still more about planting seeds of change than reaping large harvests. That isn’t to say that cities around the world aren’t sprouting “good food” initiatives too numerous to count, as the benefits of more people eating more local, fresh plant-based food take root: tastier food, more prosperous local farmers, fewer hungry people, fewer fat kids, less diabetes, lower health care costs, more inner-city jobs, safer neighbourhoods, more beautiful streets, lower GHGs, more resilience to climate change, safer food, less soil erosion, happier animals, less pollution and rutabagas forever. Where Saul and Curtis’ book—and the organization it describes– stands out is in its unequivocal focus on relieving hunger and poverty, with better food as just one means to achieve that goal. When Saul was hired by The Stop in 1998 he came from community organizing, working with homeless men and as a staffer in the Ontario premier’s office. He arrived at a struggling faith-based non-profit whose main function was running a food bank. He immediately started on a path of political change. One theme that permeates the book is Saul’s stubborn insistence that food banks are basically evil. His tone is too considerate and accommodating to use that word, but its meaning is there. Built on the deepest, most genuine charitable impulses, they have unintentionally embedded permanent institutions of demeaning handouts in our culture. As Saul sees it, they deny choice, skirt the UN-endorsed right to food, and build a handout dependency that bypasses the root cause of hunger and illness: poverty, exacerbated by inhuman welfare rates and inequality. While malnutrition, obesity and inequality grow hand in hand, “temporary” food banks mute the pressure on government to live up to its responsibility to face poverty head-on. So Saul determined from his first day on the job that The Stop would stop being just a food bank. It would go upstream with cooking lessons, community kitchens, drop-in meals, counseling, community gardens, bike repairs, civic engagement initiatives and anti-poverty marches. By bonding with the distressed community it served, The Stop moved “from charity toward solidarity.” (p. 48). It takes a village to raze a food bank, a process described by The Stop storyteller-in-residence Dan Yahsinsky as “‘revillaging the city’, creating pockets of care, mutual assistance and connection, as one might see in a village, within the urban setting.” (p. 272-273) In one chapter Saul visits a city that gets it: Belo Horizonte, Brazil. He sees that city as a model for what The Stop model could achieve in Canadian cities: “falling infant mortality and malnutrition rates, increased consumption of fruits and vegetables (while other Brazilian cities report a decrease), money in the pockets of local small farmers, and more equitable access to healthy food.” (p. 106) Many have noted the stealth function of heightened food consciousness as a gateway to so many of the big issues of our day: inequality, hunger, pollution, corporate concentration, diet-related disease, water shortages, soaring health care costs, personal isolation and more. Add to that consciousness the fact that we all “vote with our fork” every day. Everyone alive is making food choices that change the world, bite by bite, for better or worse. Are we there yet? Saul says no. The new foodie can easily end up in the cul de sac of purring over purple carrots at a farmer’s market or proudly ordering expensive local fish on Friday nights at a restaurant. The rich get organic food, but the poor still get diabetes. Awakening to the realities of our food systems is all good. The beauty of today’s food movement is that you can’t go wrong. But you can stop short. For Saul and Curtis, relieving the suffering of the thousands of their neighbours who wake up hungry every morning is what it’s all about. They are firmly focused on the anti-poverty and right-to-food side of the community food security equation, happily working with others more dedicated to environmentally-sustainable agriculture and all the other “good food” initiatives. They refuse to accept that individual action, without political action, will bring about any real change for low-income people. Political pressure to ensure everyone has food access, food skills and food literacy is always on their front burner Yet for all his advocacy and policy recommendations, Saul never lets up on personal story-telling. There’s his own story of turning a hand-to-mouth parish hall food bank into a $4.5-million-a-year anti-poverty hybrid gathering place with 300 volunteers and 40 staff serving 16,000 people a year. Characters include political villains, angel benefactors, and Toronto’s leading food movement pioneers. The book is also laced with personal turnaround dramas, a steady stream of heart-warming stories putting faces, smiles and names on the people whose lives have been changed at The Stop. To cite just one example: “Gordon Bowes grew up near The Stop but left home for good at 15, fleeing a father who beat him up when he was drinking, something he did every day. Gord lived on the street for nearly 15 years.. When he first turned up at The Stop’s food bank in one of our old locations, Gord was embarrassed… he hated to ask for a handout. [Eventually]… The Stop became Gord’s second home… [Now] I think of him as one of our community elders.”) (p. 168-169). By the end of the book, Saul has left The Stop (in Dec. 2011) with an infusion of foundation startup money to set up 17 similar organizations around the country, as CEO of Community Food Centres Canada. It’s another noble, improbable challenge, with $20 million still to be raised and uncertain quirks in every location. The sequel is already in the making. The Stop is part community development primer, part policy guide, part cry for justice, but mostly it’s an endearing story of people who came together to build something this country hasn’t seen before—and, if the story continues on its current trajectory, will soon be changing cities across Canada, one neighbourhood at a time.

__label__cc	0.681114	0.318886	How Not To Order Drinks At A Bar The other night, I found myself back behind the bar again. The restaurant had another buyout from USC, so I was once again entranced with the likes of Tommy Trojan. One thing that they don't teach at this university is how to behave at a bar. The following were actual interactions that I had while behind the bar: An Asian girl walks up to my bar, and I ask her what she would like to drink. "Vodka." "Vodka and what?" I ask. "Vodka." she says. "One vodka and vodka coming right up." Then I had the pleasure of another gentleman come up to the bar and order his drink. He was okay with his ordering, but what wasn't okay was the way he smelled. He smelled like farts. Not like he had farted and it followed him, but his body odor was farts. Needless to say, he had a shitty personality. My last story revolves around a girl who ordered a drink that I have never heard of before at a bar. Not that she ordered a cocktail that I had never heard of, but an alcohol and a mixer that should never be said out loud again. "I want a whiskey and Dr. Pepper," she ordered. I couldn't help but laugh. What bar has Dr. Pepper?! Gotta love the Trojans.

Posted on 3/26/2015 8:57:41 AM SWAMI GAME OF THE WEEK: Riviera Beach HS vs. Cape Pirates N-S Game 2: The Pirates have been on an emotional roller coaster the last few weeks with the heartbreaking loss last week at home. They will come into this game ready to board the ships of the Maritime Academy, looking to ransack and pillage. This is the biggest game RBMA has ever played and will set the tone for the rest of the season and beyond. RBMA 20 Cape 16 Orlando HS vs. Key Biscayne Rats HS N-S Game 1: An interesting matchup but an easy pick for The Swam. The Rats have made their mark this season but the issue is that they pull their players from a much smaller community than does Orlando. A team must have American Football players to win big games in the USA, those are the facts, sorry if you don't like it but it is true so- all teams! - Go recruit some Beefcakes and teach them to push in the front row and how to tackle properly and give yourself a better chance to win. Orlando 35 Key Biscayne 8. Mavericks RFC vs. St. Thomas Aquinas Rugby STA can put their name on the Catholic Cup if they take this game. Mavs have more skills and experience, but again, it a matter of population. Archbishop McCarthy is less than half the size of Aquinas who has more players CIPPed than any team in Florida and Swami believes they will turn out in numbers this week. In an otherwise close game, STA subs fresh players in the second half and pulls away with this one. St. Thomas 29 Mavericks 20.

Enos left a head coaching job at Central Michigan to become the offensive coordinator at Arkansas. (AP Photo/Samantha Baker, File) If the name Dan Enos didn’t immediately grab your attention while poring over potential candidates to become the next head football coach at the University of Kansas, it might be time to double back. Currently the quarterbacks coach and associate head coach on Nick Saban’s staff at Alabama, Enos could have an in with KU, as highlighted in a Wednesday report from Football Scoop. According to the website, which specializes in football coaching rumors, sources told Football Scoop that KU Athletic Director Jeff Long considers not only Les Miles, but also Enos as candidates to take over the long-struggling program. From 2015-17, before he moved on to Alabama, Enos worked at Arkansas as the offensive coordinator and QBs coach on Bret Bielema’s staff. Bielema, as you will recall, was the last football coach hired by Long, the former Arkansas AD. Enos possesses head coaching experience, too, one of the desired qualifications Long emphasized earlier this week. Before moving to the SEC, Enos led Central Michigan’s football program for five seasons, from 2010-14. Enos went 3-9 in each of his first two years with the Chippewas, before going 20-18 in his final three. Oddly enough, his final season with CMU included a 24-10 loss at Kansas. Enos left Central Michigan with a 26-36 head coaching record, three seasons of six or more wins and two bowl appearances, with a 1-1 postseason mark Arkansas ran a pro-style offense under Enos. He coached both Brandon Allen (2015) and Austin Allen (2016) to 3,000-yard passing seasons. Brandon led the nation in QB efficiency and threw for 3,4440 yards and 30 touchdowns as a senior in 2015. Before being hired at Central Michigan, Enos spent four seasons at Michigan State as an assistant coach. There, he coached quarterbacks in 2006 and running backs from 2007-09.

__label__wiki	0.849407	0.849407	Anatomy of a bitcoin transaction: Buying a used Subaru By MICHAEL HILL In this April 7, 2014 file photo, Bitcoin logos are displayed at the Inside Bitcoins conference and trade show in New York. (AP Photo/Mark Lennihan, File) EAST GREENBUSH, N.Y -- Bitcoins can buy you a TAG Heuer watch, a cross-country flight or a meatball marinara sub. But really, how does it work? Purchases with bitcoin and other digital currencies remain rare relative to cash and credit cards. Many bitcoin holders value it more as an investment than a day-to-day currency. And the complex workings behind the notoriously volatile currency can be off-putting to neophytes. What are the fees? Are there taxes? How do you spend a currency that can devalue dramatically between ordering appetizers and paying the check? Buying with bitcoin can be as easy as tapping your phone, though there are some cautions. A look at a single bitcoin transaction, the sale of a 2017 Subaru from an upstate New York car dealer to a buyer from Virginia: IN BUSINESS WITH BITCOIN Eugene Rubinchuk didn't get into digital currency for the anonymity or to strike a blow against centralized banking. He was just looking for more business. Rubinchuk and his father, who goes by "Mike the Russian," already ham it up in local TV commercials for Michael's Auto Plaza wearing furry hats. Digital currency is just another potential edge. "It's just a way to reach customers we normally couldn't reach, that normally wouldn't think of us," he said. The cars and truck on the lot near Albany are priced in U.S. dollars. Rubinchuk simply signed up for one of the services that allowed him to accept digital currencies if a bitcoin buyer came along. CASHING IN CRYPTOCURRENCY Jonathan Cypert got into bitcoin early and made out well. In 2011, he read about a 2-year-old currency skyrocketing in value and soon invested $2,000 in computers to "mine" bitcoins for about a year and a half. That's the complicated process that rewards tech-savvy participants for verifying bitcoin transactions in its public ledger, called the blockchain. When he started, a single bitcoin was worth around $2.50. By the time he was ready to buy a used, low-mileage Subaru for his wife, a bitcoin was worth over $14,000. The 32-year-old Virginia resident sees his bitcoin cache as a nest egg to tide him over after he retires from the military. (Wary of attracting scammers, Cypert requested that his hometown and military branch not be made public). The purchase gave him a chance to recoup his investment many times over with a fraction of his cache. "At this point it's like, why not?" Cypert said. "I might as well realize some of that gain." BITCOIN BARGAINING Rubinchuk and Cypert talked on the phone the evening of Jan. 2 and settled on a sale price on the Subaru WRX STI of $34,640. Then they had to agree on what that equaled in bitcoins judging by the exchange rates that moment. Tracking bitcoin prices on their screens, the pair agreed to proceed with one bitcoin equaling about $14,755. Cypert sent 2.34790481 bitcoins from his personal electronic wallet to the public address of Rubinchuk's wallet. Cypert also paid a network fee of about $3.50, money that goes to reward miners and keep the system running. Then Rubinchuk watched bitcoin's value go up and down as he waited to convert his digital money into dollars. BLOCKCHAIN BLUES Rubinchuk wanted to convert quickly in case bitcoin's value suddenly dropped against the dollar, costing him money. The fear is well-founded, since bitcoin's value can gain or lose more than $400 in a half-hour. But the digital currency service he uses required him to wait for multiple confirmations from the bitcoin network before he could convert it into dollars, a process can be affected by network congestion and other factors. Rubinchuk recalls waiting about 30 to 45 minutes. "I'm sitting there on pins and needles checking every five minutes if it's available," he said. Rubinchuk converted the sale into dollars with bitcoin just slightly below where it was at the time of the sale earlier that evening. He made about $7 less than the sale price. The money was in his business's bank account within 48 hours. Rubinchuk soon after signed up for a separate merchant account through another provider that assesses him a 1 percent fee on all transactions, insulating him from short-term volatility. He compares it favorably to credit card fees that run 2 to 3 percent for merchants. KEEPING IT LEGAL Digital currencies are notoriously used by criminals to transfer funds anonymously. But Rubinchuk told the tax collector about this transaction. In a standard IRS form for cash payments over $10,000, he reported the money he received, from whom it came and the fact that it originated "via bitcoin." Cypert avoided sales tax under a federal law covering service members that lets him retain his official residency in Alaska, which does not have a sales tax. But he will pay taxes on a long-term capital gain. YOUR TIME MAY VARY Bitcoin miner fees have dropped markedly this year, and advocates say congestion issues are being solved by new technologies. Rubinchuk waited about 15 minutes to make a dollar exchange last week for his second bitcoin sale, a 2016 Hyundai Elantra. And recently in Hillsboro, Oregon, Jeff Hanzlik bought $288 worth of marijuana-growing supplies from a store in a transaction that took a few minutes to finalize. He transmitted 0.03305451 in bitcoins from his phone, which read a code on the merchant's tablet. The same phone app allowed Hanzlik to choose to pay about a quarter in fees. "Once you understand what this technology is and this genie's out of the bottle, you're not going to have any choice but to be using it in the future," Hanzlik said. But the bitcoin network at this stage is still not well suited for smaller, everyday transactions, said Christian Catalini, founder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Cryptoeconomics Lab. "If you're thinking about paying for coffee in bitcoin, that's not what it's good at right now," he said. "Things can change."

__label__wiki	0.520367	0.520367	Tags: fiction I only read twenty books this year. Considering the ample amount of free time I had, that’s not great. But I’m not going to beat myself up about it. Yes, I may have spent more time watching television than reading, but I’m cutting myself some slack. It was 2020, for crying out loud. Anyway, here’s my annual round-up with reviews. Anything with three stars is good. Four stars is really good. Five stars is practically unheard of. As usual, I tried to get an equal balance of fiction and non-fiction. Raven Stratagem by Yoon Ha Lee An enjoyable sequal to Ninefox Gambit. There are some convoluted politics but that all seems positively straightforward after the brain-bending calendrical warfare introduced in the first book. The Human Use Of Human Beings: Cybernetics And Society by Norbert Wiener The ur-text on systems and feedback. Reading it now is like reading a historical artifact but many of the ideas are timeless. It’s a bit dense in parts and it tries to cover life, the universe and everything, but when you remember that it was written in 1950, it’s clearly visionary. The Word For World Is Forest by Ursula K. Le Guin Simultaneously a ripping yarn and a spiritual meditation. It’s Vietnam and the environmental movement rolled into one (like what Avatar attempted, but this actually works). Abolish Silicon Valley by Wendy Liu Here’s my full review. A Short History Of Irish Traditional Music by Gearóid Ó hAllmhuráin A perfectly fine and accurate history of the music, but it’s a bit like reading Wikipedia. Still, it was quite the ego boost to see The Session listed in the appendix. Machines Like Me by Ian McEwan McEwan’s first foray into science fiction is a good tale but a little clumsily told. It’s like he really wants to show how much research he put into his alternative history. There are moments when characters practically turn to the camera to say, “Imagine how the world would’ve turned out if…” It’s far from McEwan’s best but even when he’s not on top form, his writing is damn good. The Fabric Of Reality by David Deutsch I’ve attempted to read this before. I may have even read it all before and had everything just leak out of my head. The problem is with me, not David Deutsch who does a fine job of making complex ideas approachable. This is like a unified theory of everything. Helliconia Winter by Brian Aldiss The third and final part of Aldiss’s epic is just as enjoyable as the previous two. The characters aren’t the main attraction here. It’s all about the planetary ballet. Uncanny Valley by Anna Wiener A terrific memoir. It’s open and honest, and just snarky enough when it needs to be. A Wizard Of Earthsea, The Tombs Of Atuan, and The Farthest Shore by Ursula K. Le Guin There’s a real pleasure in finally reading books that you should’ve read years ago. I can only imagine how wonderful it would’ve been to read these as a teenager. It’s an immersive world but there’s something melancholy about the writing that makes the experience of reading less escapist and more haunting. Superior: The Return of Race Science by Angela Saini Absolutely superb! I liked Angela Saini’s previous book, Inferior , but I loved this. It’s a harrowing read at times, but written with incredible clarity and empathy. I can’t recommend this highly enough. Purple People by Kate Bulpitt Full disclosure: Kate is a friend of mine, so I probably can’t evaluate her book in a disinterested way. That said, I enjoyed the heck out of this and I think you will too. It’s very hard to classify and I think that’s what makes it so enjoyable. Technically, it’s sci-fi I suppose—an alternative history tale, probably—but it doesn’t feel like it. It’s all about the characters, and they’re all vividly realised. Honestly, I’m not sure how best to describe it—other then it being like the inside of Kate’s head—but the description of it being “a jolly dystopia” comes close. Take a chance and give it a go. How to Argue With a Racist: History, Science, Race and Reality by Adam Rutherford Good stuff from Adam Rutherford, though not his best. If I hadn’t already read Angela Saini’s Superior I might’ve rated this higher, but it pales somewhat by comparison. Still, it was interesting to see the same subject matter tackled in two different ways. Agency by William Gibson There’s nothing particularly wrong with Agency , but there’s nothing particularly great about it either. It’s just there. Maybe I’m being overly harsh because the first book, The Peripheral , was absolutely brilliant. This reminded me of reading Gibson’s Spook Country , which left me equally unimpressed. That book was sandwiched between the brilliant Pattern Recognition and the equally brilliant Zero History . That bodes well for the forthcoming third book in this series. This second book just feels like filler. Last Night’s Fun: In And Out Of Time With Irish Music by Ciaran Carson It’s hard to describe this book. Memoir? Meditation? Blog? I kind of like that about it, but I can see how it divides opinion. Some people love it. Some people hate it. I thought it was enjoyable enough. But it doesn’t matter what I think. This book is doing its own thing. Revenant Gun by Yoon Ha Lee The third book in the Machineries of Empire series has much less befuddlement. It’s even downright humourous in places.

A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities That Arise in Disaster by Rebecca Solnit The central thesis of this book is refuting the Hobbesian view of humanity as being one crisis away from breakdown. I feel like that argument was made more strongly in Critical Mass: How One Thing Leads to Another by Philip Ball. But where this book shines is in its vivid description of past catastrophes and their aftermaths: the San Francisco fire; the Halifax explosion; the Mexico City earthquake; and the culmination with Katrina hitting New Orleans. I was less keen on the more blog-like personal musings but overall, this is well worth reading. Blindsight by Peter Watts I like a good tale of first contact, and I had heard that this one had a good twist on the Fermi paradox. But it felt a bit like a short story stretched to the length of a novel. It would make for a good Twilight Zone episode but it didn’t sustain my interest. This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone I’m still reading this Hugo-winning novella and enjoying it so far. Alright, time to wrap up this look back at the books I read in 2020 and pick my favourites: one fiction and one non-fiction. My favourite non-fiction book of the year was easily Superior by Angela Saini. Read it. It’s superb. What about fiction? Hmm …this is tricky. You know what? I’m going to go for Purple People by Kate Bulpitt. Yes, she’s a friend (“it’s a fix!”) but it genuinely made an impression on me: it was an enjoyable romp while I was reading it, and it stayed with me afterwards too.

It’s true that a great story transports you somewhere else, that returning to your life afterwards can feel like an abrupt reentry. But I think that’s less because you escaped the real world, however briefly, and more that you got a clearer look at it. A great book rearranges time: it brings both history and speculative futures into the present, into a now you can occupy and taste and feel. Tagged with rereading books rewiring thinking sci-fi sciencefiction Tuesday, September 8th, 2020 T E N Ǝ T Jessica and I went to cinema yesterday. Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal, but in our current circumstances, it was something of a momentous decision that involved a lot of risk assessment and weighing of the odds. We’ve been out and about a few times, but always to outdoor locations: the beach, a park, or a pub’s beer garden. For the first time, we were evaluating whether or not to enter an indoor environment, which given what we now know about the transmission of COVID-19, is certainly riskier than being outdoors. But this was a cinema, so in theory, nobody should be talking (or singing or shouting), and everyone would be wearing masks and keeping their distance. Time was also on our side. We were considering a Monday afternoon showing—definitely not primetime. Looking at the website for the (wonderful) Duke of York’s cinema, we could see which seats were already taken. Less than an hour before the start time for the film, there were just a handful of seats occupied. A cinema that can seat a triple-digit number of people was going to be seating a single digit number of viewers. We got tickets for the front row. Personally, I love sitting in the front row, especially in the Duke of York’s where there’s still plenty of room between the front row and the screen. But I know that it’s generally considered an undesirable spot by most people. Sure enough, the closest people to us were many rows back. Everyone was wearing masks and we kept them on for the duration of the film. The film was Tenet). We weren’t about to enter an enclosed space for just any ol’ film. It would have to be pretty special—a new Star Wars film, or Denis Villeneuve’s Dune …or a new Christopher Nolan film. We knew it would look good on the big screen. We also knew it was likely to be spoiled for us if we didn’t see it soon enough. At this point I am sounding the spoiler horn. If you have not seen Tenet yet, abandon ship at this point. I really enjoyed this film. I understand the criticism that has been levelled at it—too cold, too clinical, too confusing—but I still enjoyed it immensely. I do think you need to be able to enjoy feeling confused if this is going to be a pleasurable experience. The payoff is that there’s an equally enjoyable feeling when things start slotting into place. The closest film in Christopher Nolan’s back catalogue to Tenet is Inception in terms of twistiness and what it asks of the audience. But in some ways, Tenet is like an inverted version of Inception . In Inception , the ideas and the plot are genuinely complex, but Nolan does a great job in making them understandable—quite a feat! In Tenet , the central conceit and even the overall plot is, in hindsight, relatively straightforward. But Nolan has made it seem more twisty and convuluted than it really is. The ten minute battle at the end, for example, is filled with hard-to-follow twists and turns, but in actuality, it literally doesn’t matter. The pitch for the mood of this film is that it’s in the spy genre, in the same way that Inception is in the heist genre. Though there’s an argument to be made that Tenet is more of a heist movie than Inception . But in terms of tone, yeah, it’s going for James Bond. Even at the very end of the credits, when the title of the film rolled into view, it reminded me of the Bond films that would tease “The end of (this film). But James Bond will return in (next film).” Wouldn’t it have been wonderful if the very end of Tenet ’s credits finished with “The end of Tenet. But the protagonist will return in …Tenet.” The pleasure I got from Tenet was not the same kind of pleasure I get from watching a Bond film, which is a simpler, more basic kind of enjoyment. The pleasure I got from Tenet was more like the kind of enjoyment I get from reading smart sci-fi, the kind that posits a “what if?” scenario and isn’t afraid to push your mind in all kinds of uncomfortable directions to contemplate the ramifications. Like I said, the central conceit—objects or people travelling backwards through time (from our perspective)—isn’t actually all that complex, but the fun comes from all the compounding knock-on effects that build on that one premise. In the film, and in interviews about the film, everyone is at pains to point out that this isn’t time travel. But that’s not true. In fact, I would argue that Tenet is one of the few examples of genuine time travel. What I mean is that most so-called time-travel stories are actually more like time teleportation. People jump from one place in time to another instaneously. There are only a few examples I can think of where people genuinely travel. The grandaddy of all time travel stories, The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, is one example. There are vivid descriptions of the world outside the machine playing out in fast-forward. But even here, there’s an implication that from outside the machine, the world cannot perceive the time machine (which would, from that perspective, look slowed down to the point of seeming completely still). The most internally-consistent time-travel story is Primer . I suspect that the Venn diagram of people who didn’t like Tenet and people who wouldn’t like Primer is a circle. Again, it’s a film where the enjoyment comes from feeling confused, but where your attention will be rewarded and your intelligence won’t be insulted. In Primer , the protagonists literally travel in time. If you want to go five hours into the past, you have to spend five hours in the box (the time machine). In Tenet , the time machine is a turnstile. If you want to travel five hours into the past, you need only enter the turnstile for a moment, but then you have to spend the next five hours travelling backwards (which, from your perspective, looks like being in a world where cause and effect are reversed). After five hours, you go in and out of a turnstile again, and voila!—you’ve time travelled five hours into the past. Crucially, if you decide to travel five hours into the past, then you have always done so. And in the five hours prior to your decision, a version of you (apparently moving backwards) would be visible to the world. There is never a version of events where you aren’t travelling backwards in time. There is no “first loop”. That brings us to the fundamental split in categories of time travel (or time jump) stories: many worlds vs. single timeline. In a many-worlds story, the past can be changed. Well, technically, you spawn a different universe in which events unfold differently, but from your perspective, the effect would be as though you had altered the past. The best example of the many-worlds category in recent years is William Gibson’s The Peripheral . It genuinely reinvents the genre of time travel. First of all, no thing travels through time. In The Peripheral only information can time travel. But given telepresence technology, that’s enough. The Peripheral is time travel for the remote worker (once again, William Gibson proves to be eerily prescient). But the moment that any information travels backwards in time, the timeline splits into a new “stub”. So the many-worlds nature of its reality is front and centre. But that doesn’t stop the characters engaging in classic time travel behaviour—using knowledge of the future to exert control over the past. Time travel stories are always played with a stacked deck of information. The future has power over the past because of the asymmetric nature of information distribution—there’s more information in the future than in the past. Whether it’s through sports results, the stock market or technological expertise, the future can exploit the past. Information is at the heart of the power games in Tenet too, but there’s a twist. The repeated mantra here is “ignorance is ammunition.” That flies in the face of most time travel stories where knowledge—information from the future—is vital to winning the game. It turns out that information from the future is vital to winning the game in Tenet too, but the reason why ignorance is ammunition comes down to the fact that Tenet is not a many-worlds story. It is very much a single timeline. Having a single timeline makes for time travel stories that are like Greek tragedies. You can try travelling into the past to change the present but in doing so you will instead cause the very thing you set out to prevent. The meat’n’bones of a single timeline time travel story—and this is at the heart of Tenet —is the question of free will. The most succint (and disturbing) single-timeline time-travel story that I’ve read is by Ted Chiang in his recent book Exhalation . It’s called What’s Expected Of Us . It was originally published as a single page in Nature magazine. In that single page is a distillation of the metaphysical crisis that even a limited amount of time travel would unleash in a single-timeline world… There’s a box, the Predictor. It’s very basic, like Claude Shannon’s Ultimate Machine. It has a button and a light. The button activates the light. But this machine, like an inverted object in Tenet , is moving through time differently to us. In this case, it’s very specific and localised. The machine is just a few seconds in the future relative to us. Cause and effect seem to be reversed. With a normal machine, you press the button and then the light flashes. But with the predictor, the light flashes and then you press the button. You can try to fool it but you won’t succeed. If the light flashes, you will press the button no matter how much you tell yourself that you won’t (likewise if you try to press the button before the light flashes, you won’t succeed). That’s it. In one succinct experiment with time, it is demonstrated that free will doesn’t exist. Tenet has a similarly simple object to explain inversion. It’s a bullet. In an exposition scene we’re shown how it travels backwards in time. The protagonist holds his hand above the bullet, expecting it to jump into his hand as has just been demonstrated to him. He is told “you have to drop it.” He makes the decision to “drop” the bullet …and the bullet flies up into his hand. This is a brilliant bit of sleight of hand (if you’ll excuse the choice of words) on Nolan’s part. It seems to imply that free will really matters. Only by deciding to “drop” the bullet does the bullet then fly upward. But here’s the thing: the protagonist had no choice but to decide to drop the bullet. We know that he had no choice because the bullet flew up into his hand. The bullet was always going to fly up into his hand. There is no timeline where the bullet doesn’t fly up into his hand, which means there is no timeline where the protagonist doesn’t decide to “drop” the bullet. The decision is real, but it is inevitable. The lesson in this scene is the exact opposite of what it appears. It appears to show that agency and decision-making matter. The opposite is true. Free will cannot, in any meaningful sense, exist in this world. This means that there was never really any threat. People from the future cannot change the past (or wipe it out) because it would’ve happened already. At one point, the protagonist voices this conjecture. “Doesn’t the fact that we’re here now mean that they don’t succeed?” Neil deflects the question, not because of uncertainty (we realise later) but because of certainty. It’s absolutely true that the people in the future can’t succeed because they haven’t succeeded. But the protagonist—at this point in the story—isn’t ready to truly internalise this. He needs to still believe that he is acting with free will. As that Ted Chiang story puts it: It’s essential that you behave as if your decisions matter, even though you know that they don’t. That’s true for the audience watching the film. If we were to understand too early that everything will work out fine, then there would be no tension in the film. As ever with Nolan’s films, they are themselves metaphors for films. The first time you watch Tenet , ignorance is your ammuntion. You believe there is a threat. By the end of the film you have more information. Now if you re-watch the film, you will experience it differently, armed with your prior knowledge. But the film itself hasn’t changed. It’s the same linear flow of sequential scenes being projected. Everything plays out exactly the same. It’s you who have been changed. The first time you watch the film, you are like the protagonist at the start of the movie. The second time you watch it, you are like the protagonist at the end of the movie. You see the bigger picture. You understand the inevitability. The character of Neil has had more time to come to terms with a universe without free will. What the protagonist begins to understand at the end of the film is what Neil has known for a while. He has seen this film. He knows how it ends. It ends with his death. He knows that it must end that way. At the end of the film we see him go to meet his death. Does he make the decision to do this? Yes …but he was always going to make the decision to do this. Just as the protagonist was always going to decide to “drop” the bullet, Neil was always going to decide to go to his death. It looks like a choice. But Neil understands at this point that the choice is pre-ordained. He will go to his death because he has gone to his death. At the end, the protagonist—and the audience—understands. Everything played out exactly as it had to. The people in the future were hoping that reality allowed for many worlds, where the past could be changed. Luckily for us, reality turns out to be a single timeline. But the price we pay is that we come to understand, truly understand, that we have no free will. This is the kind of knowledge we wish we didn’t have. Ignorance was our ammunition and by the end of the film, it is spent. Nolan has one other piece of misdirection up his sleeve. He implies that the central question at the heart of this time-travel story is the grandfather paradox. Our descendents in the future are literally trying to kill their grandparents (us). But if they succeed, then they can never come into existence. But that’s not the paradox that plays out in Tenet . The central paradox is the bootstrap paradox, named for the Heinlein short story, By His Bootstraps . Information in this film is transmitted forwards and backwards through time, without ever being created. Take the phrase “Tenet”. In subjective time, the protagonist first hears of this phrase—and this organisation—when he is at the start of his journey. But the people who tell him this received the information via a subjectively older version of the protagonist who has travelled to the past. The protagonist starts the Tenet organistion (and phrase) in the future because the organisation (and phrase) existed in the past. So where did the phrase come from? This paradox—the bootstrap paradox—remains after the grandfather paradox has been dealt with. The grandfather paradox was a distraction. The bootstrap paradox can’t be resolved, no matter how many times you watch the same film. So Tenet has three instances of misdirection in its narrative: Inversion isn’t time travel (it absolutely is). Decisions matter (they don’t; there is no free will). The grandfather paradox is the central question (it’s not; the bootstrap paradox is the central question). I’m looking forward to seeing Tenet again. Though it can never be the same as that first time. Ignorance can never again be my ammunition. I’m very glad that Jessica and I decided to go to the cinema to see Tenet . But who am I kidding? Did we ever really have a choice?

The Situation is awful in so many ways, and yet… In this crisis, there is also opportunity—the opportunity to sit on the sofa, binge-watch television and feel good about it! I mean just think about it: when in the history of our culture has there been a time when the choice between running a marathon or going to the gym or staying at home watching TV can be resolved with such certitude? Stay at home and watch TV, of course! It’s the only morally correct choice. Protect the NHS! Save lives! Gorge on box sets! What you end up watching doesn’t really matter. If you want to binge on Love Island or Tiger King , go for it. At this moment in time, it’s all good. I had an ancient Apple TV device that served me well for years. At the beginning of The Situation, I decided to finally upgrade to a more modern model so I could get to more streaming services. Once I figured out how to turn off the unbelievably annoying sounds and animations, I got it set up with some subscription services. Should it be of any interest, here’s what I’ve been watching in order to save lives and protect the NHS… Watchmen , Now TV Superb! I suspect you’ll want to have read Alan Moore’s classic book to fully enjoy this series set in the parallel present extrapolated from that book’s ‘80s setting. Like that book, what appears to be a story about masked vigilantes is packing much, much deeper themes. I have a hunch that if Moore himself were forced to watch it, he might even offer some grudging approval. Devs , BBC iPlayer Ex Machina meets The Social Network in Alex Garland’s first TV show. I was reading David Deutsch while I was watching this, which felt like getting an extra bit of world-building. I think this might have worked better in the snappier context of a film, but it makes for an enjoyable saunter as a series. Style outweighs substance, but the style is strong enough to carry it. Breeders , Now TV Genuinely hilarious. Watch the first episode and see how many times you laugh guiltily. It gets a bit more sentimental later on, but there’s a wonderfully mean streak throughout that keeps the laughter flowing. If you are a parent of small children though, this may feel like being in a rock band watching Spinal Tap—all too real. The Mandalorian , Disney Plus I cannot objectively evaluate this. I absolutely love it, but that’s no surprise. It’s like it was made for me. The execution of each episode is, in my biased opinion, terrific. Read what Nat wrote about it. I agree with everything they said. Westworld , Now TV The third series is wrapping up soon. I’m enjoying this series immensely. It’s got a real cyberpunk sensibility; not in a stupid Altered Carbon kind of way, but in a real Gibsonian bit of noirish fun. Like Devs , it’s not as clever as it thinks it is, but it’s throroughly entertaining all the same. Tales From The Loop , Amazon Prime The languid pacing means this isn’t exactly a series of cliffhangers, but it will reward you for staying with it. It avoids the negativity of Black Mirror and instead maintains a more neutral viewpoint on the unexpected effects of technology. At its best, it feels like an updated take on Ray Bradbury’s stories of smalltown America (like the episode directed by Jodie Foster featuring a cameo by Shane Carruth—the time traveller’s time traveller). Years and Years , BBC iPlayer A near-future family and political drama by Russell T Davies. Subtlety has never been his strong point and the polemic aspects of this are far too on-the-nose to take seriously. Characters will monologue for minutes while practically waving a finger at you out of the television set. But it’s worth watching for Emma Thompson’s performance as an all-too believable populist politician. Apart from a feelgood final episode, it’s not light viewing so maybe not the best quarantine fodder. For All Mankind , Apple TV+ An ahistorical space race that’s a lot like Mary Robinette Kowal’s Lady Astronaut books. The initial premise—that Alexei Leonov beats Neil Armstrong to a moon landing—is interesting enough, but it really picks up from episode three. Alas, the baton isn’t really kept up for the whole series; it reverts to a more standard kind of drama from about halfway through. Still worth seeing though. It’s probably the best show on Apple TV+, but that says more about the paucity of the selection on there than it does about the quality of this series. Avenue Five , Now TV When it’s good, this space-based comedy is chucklesome but it kind of feels like Armando Iannucci lite. Picard , Amazon Prime It’s fine. Michael Chabon takes the world of Star Trek in some interesting directions, but it never feels like it’s allowed to veer too far away from the established order. The Outsider , Now TV A tense and creepy Stephen King adaption. I enjoyed the mystery of the first few episodes more than the later ones. Once the supernatural rules are established, it’s not quite as interesting. There are some good performances here, but the series gives off a vibe of believing it’s more important than it really is. Better Call Saul , Netflix The latest series (four? I’ve lost count) just wrapped up. It’s all good stuff, even knowing how some of the pieces need to slot into place for Breaking Bad . Normal People , BBC iPlayer I heard this was good so I went to the BBC iPlayer app and hit play. “Pretty good stuff”, I thought after watching that episode. Then I noticed that it said Episode Twelve. I had watched the final episode first. Doh! But, y’know, watching from the start, the foreknowledge of how things turn out isn’t detracting from the pleasure at all. In fact, I think you could probably watch the whole series completely out of order. It’s more of a tone poem than a plot-driven series. The characters themselves matter more than what happens to them. Hunters , Amazon Prime A silly 70s-set jewsploitation series with Al Pacino. The enjoyment comes from the wish fulfillment of killing nazis, which would be fine except for the way that the holocaust is used for character development. The comic-book tone of the show clashes very uncomfortably with that subject matter. The Shoah is not a plot device. This series feels like what we would get if Tarentino made television (and not in a good way).

Human history is too unpredictable; from this moment, we could descend into a mass-extinction event or rise into an age of general prosperity. Still, if you read science fiction, you may be a little less surprised by whatever does happen. Often, science fiction traces the ramifications of a single postulated change; readers co-create, judging the writers’ plausibility and ingenuity, interrogating their theories of history. Doing this repeatedly is a kind of training. It can help you feel more oriented in the history we’re making now. Kim Stanley Robinson knows the score: Margaret Thatcher said that “there is no such thing as society,” and Ronald Reagan said that “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” These stupid slogans marked the turn away from the postwar period of reconstruction and underpin much of the bullshit of the past forty years.

Time to begin a Star Wars movie marathon. But in which order? Back when there were a mere two trilogies, this was already a vexing problem if someone were watching the films for the first time. You could watch the six films in episode order: The Return Of The Jedi But then you’re spoiling the grand reveal in episode five. Alright then, how about release order? But then you’re front-loading the big pay-off, and you’re finishing with a big set-up. This conundrum was solved with the machete order. It suggests omitting The Phantom Menace , not because it’s crap, but because nothing happens in it that isn’t covered in the first five minutes of Attack Of The Clones . The machete order is: It’s kind of brilliant. You get to keep the big reveal in The Empire Strikes Back , and then through flashback, you see how this came to be. Best of all, the pay-off in Return Of The Jedi has even more resonance because you’ve just seen Anakin’s downfall in Revenge Of The Sith . With the release of the new sequel trilogy, an adjusted machete order is a pretty straightforward way to see the whole saga: The Phantom Menace (optional) Done. But …what if you want to include the standalone films too? If you slot them in in release order, they break up the flow: I’m planning to watch all eleven films. This was my initial plan: I definitely want to have Rogue One lead straight into A New Hope . The problem is where to put Solo . I don’t want to interrupt the Sith/Jedi setup/payoff. So here’s my current plan, which I have already begun: This way, the two standalone films work as world-building for the saga and don’t interrupt the flow once the main story is underway. I think this works pretty well. Neither Solo nor Rogue One require any prior knowledge to be enjoyed.

There’s a common assumption that if the shit ever truly hit the fan, people would turn on one another like sharks turning on a wounded shark. In fact, the opposite usually happens: humans in disasters form tight community bonds, help their neighbors, offer what they can to the community.

The EY organisation intends to support Extreme E in its commitment to minimise its environmental impact across its events, logistics and operations, by developing a Social and Environmental Impact Assessment framework. EY teams will help identify local companies to undertake the assessment in each race location and provide them with the necessary guidance and support; thereby enhancing the company’s capability and helping ensure a high-quality output. This, in turn, will enable Extreme E to offset any unavoidable effects via local legacy projects. EY teams will also develop pre and post-racing carbon accounts including identifying and calculating Scope 1, 2, and 3 emission sources to support carbon offsetting agreements. In addition, EY teams will assist Extreme E’s efforts to highlight the impact of climate change and the benefits of electric vehicle adoption through thought leadership and industry insights. Dr Matthew Bell, from EY Climate Change and Sustainability Services team, says: “Extreme E will draw attention to the risks of climate change, whilst showing the world the opportunities that low carbon technologies present. EY teams with their broad knowledge of climate change issues can help Extreme E further its mission by helping measure, monitor and manage the direct and indirect carbon footprint of the race series. This will help ensure that in addition to an exciting race series, this collaboration can further our shared ambition to create a positive environmental and social legacy for generations to come.” Alejandro Agag, Founder and CEO, Extreme E, says: “We are incredibly pleased to collaborate with EY on this important initiative, which will enable Extreme E to assess and understand its impact and, as a result, implement legacy programs which provide environmental and social support tailored to specific local needs. “EY already has developed a long-standing relationship with our sister series, Formula E, and they have many years of experience in the areas of sustainability and eMobility. The expertise they provide is globally respected. Extreme E is a forward-thinking and innovative championship and together we believe we can gain and share some truly tangible and actionable insights.” Gavin Rennie, EY Global Energy & Resources Leader, says: “Electrification in mobility is gathering pace, fuelled by government policy, shareholder activism and consumer demand. We believe this transformation presents a huge and immediate opportunity for governments, the energy and resources industry and others, including the automotive and manufacturing sectors.We are delighted to collaborate with Extreme E who are utilising the power and influence of sport to highlight the impact of climate change and the benefits of electric vehicle adoption. Together we believe we can develop innovative insights which pave the way to new advancements and ultimately help build a better working world.” Lewis Hamilton founds Extreme E team Extreme E signs with Arena Sport TV Extreme E introduces GridPlay Extreme E LatAm broadcast deal with ESPN China: Extreme E signs Huya partnership iPlayer: Record-breaking start to 2021	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0078.json.gz/line406

Joining me from Perth is Australian Medical Association President, Dr Omar Khorshid. Good morning Dr Khorshid. It's important to note, and we’ve mentioned this a couple of times, that there are no health concerns. These concerns are around the jab being only 65 per cent effective, while the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are 95 per cent effective. Has the Government put its eggs in the wrong basket? OMAR KHORSHID: Good morning. The Government actually hasn't put its eggs all in one basket. The Government did deals with a number of companies well before there was any data about whether their vaccines were ever going to come to pass. And so far, two of those look like they're going to be available in Australia, and there's potentially more to come. There’s a lot we don't know yet about these vaccines; the data is still early. We do know some things, so we do know that they're all safe, and we do know that they all seem to prevent you getting sick with COVID. So, that’s a really important thing. What we don't know, though, is how well they stop you transmitting the disease to somebody else or carrying the disease. And we don't know which vaccine’s going to be best for which different parts of the population, and that's all data that we’re going to find out more about as time comes. What is critical, though, is that you've got access to the vaccine. So, when you’re making a decision around which vaccine to give, there’s a whole lot of stuff that the public don't need to worry about, because there’s smart people that are advising the Government to tell them what to do to rollout this really important program. CHARLES CROUCHER: We have 50 odd million doses of this AstraZeneca vaccine on order. Is there an opportunity to prioritise other vaccines instead? You mentioned that we have got contracts with other organisations, other pharmaceutical companies. But can we change our orders with those and still have a rollout in the schedule that's planned? OMAR KHORSHID: Look, we don't know what the details of the contracts are. But there's no doubt the Government could go and buy other vaccines if the AstraZeneca vaccine, for instance, doesn’t get approved. None of these vaccines, none, have actually yet been approved. And our regulator won't approve them unless they're both safe and effective and appropriate for use in Australia. And our vaccine taskforce that advises the Government won't recommend their use unless they think it's the right vaccine for Australians to take. So I think we can be really confident in our processes; they've done us really well so far. We’ve got the best vaccine program in the world. And I think everyone is acutely aware of just how important this vaccine process is. And as that data continues to come in, I'm sure the program will be tweaked. CHARLES CROUCHER: Alright. Like to hear your thoughts on some other issues this morning. Melbourne has delayed the Grand Prix, and there’s concerns about the 1200 Australian Open competitors about to fly in from tomorrow. Do you feel the tennis will be safe? OMAR KHORSHID: Look, the tennis is definitely a risk. When you’re bringing in a thousand people from overseas and you see just how much COVID is out there, there’s no doubt there's a chance that you could bring it into Victoria. But I think the Government and the Tennis Australia will be absolutely aware of their responsibility to protect the health of Victorians. They are putting Victorians at risk, and they must make sure that their bubble is perfect, that they have told the players and all the staff that their behaviour in complying with the rules is absolutely critical for the success of this event and for the safety of all Victorians. CHARLES CROUCHER: And finally, Government MP Craig Kelly’s been accused of spreading misinformation about coronavirus online, including touting unproven treatments, and he said that mandating masks for children is child abuse. Should he be counselled and even condemned for those statements? OMAR KHORSHID: Look, it's really important that our politicians, and in fact others in the community, especially at this time of a global pandemic listen to proper health advice, leave the science to the scientists, the medicine to the doctors. The interpretation of these studies that Craig Kelly’s talking about is actually quite complex, and you don't just believe everything that's published. And certainly, Australians shouldn't believe everything that's published on the internet about health, because there's all sorts of crackpot ideas out there. And unfortunately, some of these ideas are coming from prominent people who should know better. And certainly, what we’d be recommending is that Australians look to reputable sources, look to Government publications, look to big hospital websites and those sorts of things, and not worry too much about what’s going out there on social media, no matter what the source is. CHARLES CROUCHER: Dr Khorshid, a very early start for you over there, we appreciate your time this morning. OMAR KHORSHID: No worries.

The project co-ordinator Dan Lee, Lifelong Learning and Outreach Archaeologist UHI Archaeology Institute, commenting on the award said: “It’s great that Stromness Museum was awarded this grant. Stromness piers have such a rich wealth of stories from their working past to the new ways we think about them today. We are all really excited about telling other people about our findings and sharing our heritage and history with them through this exhibition”. Stromness Museum received a Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) Stories, Stones and Bones grant as part of Scotland’s Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology. This exciting project, ‘Listening to the Piers’, run in partnership with University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) Archaeology Institute, Heriot Watt Stromness campus and locally based artists was awarded £9,700 to investigate the piers of Stromness through creative engagement in archaeology, art and science workshops. Commenting, Lucy Casot, Head of HLF in Scotland, said: “The Heritage Lottery Fund is a key partner in the Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology and it was our ambition that people of all ages would have the chance to discover something new about the heritage they care about. With almost 100 projects happening across the country, over 15,000 people have done just that. We’re delighted that, thanks to funding from the National Lottery, Stromness Museum is part of that celebration, opening the door to fun, learning and everlasting memories for many people as we celebrate this special year.” Stromness Museum holds important collections of natural history, archaeology, maritime and social history and art. Growing sea traffic from the 18th century onwards saw the port grow with stone-built piers and slips appearing along the shore. Oral history workshops introduced Stromness Primary School pupils to interview techniques to make recordings about the piers. On ‘Piers Day’ during ‘Per Mare’ week, at the end of July 2017, Listening to the Piers provided an opportunity for local people and visitors to explore different ways of seeing and interpreting these piers through archaeology, marine biology, photography and drawing workshops. Stromness Museum The Stromness Museum exists to promote natural science, to preserve local history and to offer an enjoyable educational and informative experience to as large a range of people as possible. Stories, Stones and Bones Stories, Stones and Bones is for any not-for-profit group wanting to engage more people with the heritage and take part in the Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology. Stories, Stones and Bones grants between £3,000 and £10,000 are available to groups who want to discover their local heritage. Projects can cover a wide spectrum of subject matter from exploring local archaeology and a community’s cultures and traditions to identifying and recording local wildlife and protecting the surrounding environment to managing and training volunteers, and holding festivals and events to commemorate the past. Using money raised through the National Lottery, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) aims to make a lasting difference for heritage, people and communities across the UK and help build a resilient heritage economy.

Dan Lee, Dr Ingrid Mainland, Dr Jen Harland and Dr Sarah Jane Gibbon from the University of the Highlands and Islands Archaeology Institute together with a team of local volunteers and school children embarked on a programme of archaeology in Rousay, Orkney over the summer 2017. Rousay’s Summer of Archaeology culminated in a host of activities along the west shore during July. Excavations were carried out at the coastally eroding site at Swandro (by a team from the University of the Highlands and Islands Archaeology Institute & University of Bradford) and at Skaill farmstead. Together, the work at these sites aims to explore the remarkable deep time represented along the west shore; from the Neolithic, Iron Age, Pictish, Viking and Norse periods to the 19th century clearances. Work at these sites framed a series of community activities and workshops including test pit excavation at Skaill, training placements for Rousay residents, metalworking workshop, bones and environmental workshop, experimental archaeology, and open days at the two excavations. Over the month, the sites received hundreds of visitors, from Rousay and all over the world. Chrissie and her test pit containing Norse midden Excavations at Skaill farmstead were undertaken within the middle two weeks of July. The results of the geophysical survey in 2015 showed potential earlier features below the present 18/19th century farmstead. Subsequent test pits in 2016 identified several earlier structural phases below the farmhouse, including a wall with two outer stone faces and midden core, which is likely to date to the Norse period. The site represents a small ‘farm mound’ where successive phases of building, levelling and rebuilding give rise to a low mound. The aim this season was to establish the extent and character of the farm mound, and the depth, quality and date of any deposits and structures in order to better understand the site for more detailed investigation. A line of 1m by 1m test pits at 10m intervals were excavated in two transects across the mound. The natural underlying glacial till was located at the northern, western and southern edges of the mound helping us to define the extent of surviving archaeology. Ornate moulded red sandstone In the centre of the mound, deep stratified deposits were found. These are likely to be over 2m in depth. Post-medieval deposits were found to overlay a distinctive Norse horizon. Norse pottery, fish bone, shell midden and elaborate red sandstone mouldings were found in the earlier horizons. The moulded red sandstone is significant, indicating high status buildings in the area during the late medieval period, and may help provide insights into the ornate red sandstone fragments nearby at The Wirk and on Eynhallow. Evidence for metal working, in the form of iron slag, has also been recovered from Skaill. Significant assemblages of animal bone, fish bone and pottery from the 17-19th centuries were also recovered. These will help us understand farming and fishing practices during the last few hundred years. Planning the remains of the barn in Trench 2 To the north of the farmhouse, a small trench across a former 19th century barn was reopened and extended, showing the external wall footings and internal flagged floor. The building was demolished between 1840 and 1882 during a time when the farmstead was cleared and ceased to operate. In addition, a small evaluation trench across a suspected field boundary to the south of the barn was reopened from last season and completed. This contained a stone-lined drain and midden enhanced soil, indicating that earlier buried structures could be widespread at the site. Indeed, all of the earthworks that fell within one of the test pits contained structural remains such as walls. Over the two weeks, Skaill received nearly 150 visitors, with 70 visitors over the test pit weekend. Several local children helping dig the test pits. Overall the season was a great success; helping raise the profile of the island, opening up the site to so many folk and increasing our understanding of the Skaill and Westness story. The project has received a Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) Stories, Stones and Bones grant and additional funding form the OIC Archaeology Fund.

Pupils sieving finds KGS pupils finds washing Discovering Hidden Kirkwall. The Kirkwall Townscape Heritage Initiative Archaeology Programme. Excavation in the RBS Garden. Day 1 in the classroom. Day 2 & 3 in the rain. On Monday 16th May, Dan Lee (Lifelong Learning and Outreach Archaeologist)and Sean Page (Marketing Officer) spent a preparation day at Kirkwall Grammar School involving pupils from S3 history and geography classes in a decision making project. We wanted to include them in the archaeological process as a whole so we devised a learning exercise in which we created a decision making lesson that asked the question…..Where shall we put the trench? To answer the question we asked the pupils to decide and back up their decision with reasons. We provided them with maps from 1827, 1882, aerial photographs, 19th century photographs of the area and geophysics results. They then collectively had to decide where the trench was going to be located on the following day. Geophysics of the RBS garden. Pupils had to decide where to dig. The preparation day itself also placed the whole project into context and tied it into the work that the Kirkwall Townscape Heritage Initiative was undertaking in the town. We asked what is an archaeologist (involving various pictures of various people doing various things), what is archaeology and how is it different to history, what do archaeologist do, how do you become an archaeologist and touched on the transferable skills that an archaeologist develops. In effect we looked at how to develop a career in archaeology; something which was attractive to many pupils. The preparation day was followed by two days in the field. It rained on the first day and drizzled on the second so they fully appreciated the benefit of correct clothing! Pupils undertook three activities throughout the whole day. These activities included surveying using a Leica TCR 1205+R400 Total Station Theodolite (TST) ,mapping, historical town survey and of course taking part in the excavation, sieving and finds washing in the RBS garden. It was a real hands on archaeological experience ! End of the day summing up The objectives of the archaeology project were to try and answer these questions: What is the location, character and depth of the former shoreline and piers to the west of the town centre of Kirkwall (between Broad Street and Junction Road) Is there any evidence for the former layout of the museum gardens ? Do remains of the range of buildings depicted on the 1882 Ordnance Survey map survive below ground level. What is the character and depth of these remains where they do survive? It is still a little early in the project to answer all of these questions, but we can say that the pupils found a feature which looks at this stage like a wall. Could it be part of the old shoreline wall? A garden feature ? A roadway? Well at this stage it is very hard to tell, but at the end of day 3 the team had excavated three courses of stone…so it looks like a wall. Finds included a sharpening stone, possible 17th Century ceramics, a stem and base from an 18th century wine glass, animal bones and a few pieces of flint (maybe washed down from the site of the Broch behind the site ??. Possible wall The excavation will be open another three days so we should be able to answer some of our questions more fully. However today (Thursday 19th May) we will be welcoming pupils from Glaitness Primary School….so who knows what we will find !

Fieldwalking in Orkney: End of Week One Friday, March 11, 2016 (11:22am) Monday, May 6, 2019 (3:08pm) seanlisle1 Flint found by Helen – Photo Rod Richmond Looking across to Hoy – Photo Dan Lee Looking north – Photo Dan Lee Despite some seasonal weather, the first week of fieldwalking in the Orkney World Heritage Site buffer zone has finished and six fields have been walked to the east of the Loch of Harray. 23 intrepid volunteers have been out over three days in mixed weather, thankfully Wednesday was sunny and dry! We’ve walked fields around Maesquoy and Ness Farm (many thanks to the landowners). Views across the loch to Brodgar are spectacular from this part of the parish. We’ve had some scatters of flint (including a knife and scrapper), an area of cramp (burnt material usually associated with pyres or burials) and some interesting post-medieval and modern pottery, clay pipes and a glass bead. Due to the wet conditions over the winter few new fields have been ploughed this year, so we have been focusing on fields that were ploughed before Christmas. These are nicely weathered and finds are easily visible on the surface. We are collecting finds in 10m transects and logging the position with an centimetre accurate GPS (Global Navigation Satellite System – currently using US GPS Navstar and Russian Glonass constellations for the techi amongst you !) . Let’s hope the weather improves and the farmers can get ploughing soon. More next week.

The last portion of the ledger (approximately 53 pages) contains Snare's records regarding his examinations of soldiers, primarily from Pennsylvania regiments, who had been discharged for various injuries and diseases from both the Civil and Mexican wars. One soldier was from New York, one from Illinois, and one was an African American with the 32d Regt. U.S. Colored Troops. Entries recorded the soldier's name, home town, regiment and immediate commanding officer, as well as the attorney representing the soldier in his petition. Sometimes the battle in which the injury was received is mentioned, including Antietam, Gettysburg, and Cold Harbor; other notes mention men who were captured and sent to Confederate prisons, including Andersonville. Snare then provided a detailed medical description of the injury or wound and any resulting damage. Several of the men had contracted diseases while on duty, such as typhoid or tuberculosis, had sustained hernias or were sidelined by rheumatism, but most of the men suffered gunshot wounds or injuries from cannon fire. In the margins Snare recorded his estimates for awarding a pension, according to guidelines set by the Pension Office. Some of the soldiers were examined annually or biennially over the course of three years, to reassess their continued eligibility. The ledger was initially used (118 pages) to record transactions for a mercantile business belonging to another Edmund Snare, presumably a relative of Dr. Snare.

__label__wiki	0.719281	0.719281	The Idea of the Global Museum by Karolina Majewska-Güde (Berlin) · Published 04/20/2017 The global museum has been debated over a decade within the framework of critical museology and in the context of contemporary global art. The recent conference The Idea of the Global Museum (December 2-3, 2016), organized by the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum of Modern Art in Berlin as a part of its project Global Resonances and coordinated by the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, offered a retrospective look at a variety of museum practices that critically embrace the notion of the global. The discourse on the global museum has been part of a broader postcolonial investigation into the possibility of a global art history, related to the decentralization and pluralization of modernism(s). From the perspective of Western museology, the genealogy of the global museum reaches back to Institutional Critique and the practice of New Museology that exposed the museum as the tool of the political hegemony of bourgeois culture. The process of democratization and decentralization of the museum initiated by the adherents/practitioners of New Museology has been extended to include the critique of the museum’s ethnocentrism and Eurocentrism. The idea of the global museum, then, arrives as the culmination of these deconstructive steps: the institutionalization of the postcolonial stage of the critique of the modern museum. However, the idea of the global museum also has a parallel genealogy that refers to the geopolitical inquiries into transnational art systems and infrastructures that facilitate and shape global contemporary art. A good example of this line of enquiry is the research project Global Art and the Museum initiated in 2006 at the ZKM in Karlsruhe. The so-called “shifting geographies” of contemporary art and its markets—i.e. the shift in focus from Western urban centers to other art communities—as well as migration and transculturalism became the project’s point of departure, resulting in exhibitions, conferences and publications focused on investigating the multiplicity and plurality of local art. An ethical dimension related to the postcolonial critique was met here with a critical response to the economic failures of globalization. In recent years, the idea of the global museum has been dispersed and transmitted geographically and politically towards various peripheries, affecting the practices and the vocabulary of the discourse itself. Global and local interconnections have been reconceptualized in terms of translocal interrelations, canons have been extended and pluralized from within. Moving away from the narrative of the museum as a success story of globalization and focusing on the geopolitics of knowledge, the recent Berlin conference aimed at presenting a broad diversity of museum practices that would serve different local audiences. Over the two days of the conference, participants discussed the global museum’s possible program, cultural context, and targeted publics. Presented approaches included the notion of education as the production of counterknowledge that challenges traditional forms of knowledge. Speakers also (re)introduced the concept of the museum as a site of research or as a pedagogical institution grounded in performative, embodied knowledge. This formula of active engagement realized by a productive encounter with the museum’s collections, or by the participation in programs and events offered by the museum, opposes the passive process of reproducing and transmitting existing knowledge that we associate with the traditional museum. The seemingly innocent notion of education, reframed by the discourse of critical pedagogy, served the goal of breaking away from the tradition of the museum as an institution steeped in a universal canon, imperialism, and colonialism. In his opening remarks, Luis Camnitzer postulated this direction by articulating a critique of the museum as a “bureau of standards” and as a place for the dissemination of cultural capital. The German-born Uruguayan artist, instead, proposed his vision of the museum as a “pedagogical institution” that aims to release creative energy to the viewer rather than imposing standardized value systems. Camnitzer’s statement served as the conceptual framework for the entire conference. His emphasis was on the productive relation between the audience, on the one hand, and works of contemporary art, on the other. In Camnitzer’s thinking, the museum, like any medium, serves the function of transmitting artistic messages to its public. His idea is indebted to the modernist principle of transparency: the museum as a site that enables smooth communication between the exhibited artist and his or her audience. In a series of interventions from the margins of the art world, from Manila to Ljubljana to Lima, Camnitzer’s understanding of the museum was problematized. Speakers engaged the global museum as a site for performing history and as rooted in a geolocality that serves local audiences and that refuses to function as a tourist site. For instance, Patrick Flores, Curator at the Vargas Museum in Manila, proposed a postcolonial university museum as a kind of open source or research site. Natalia Mjaluf, Director of the Museo de Arte in Lima, addressed the global museum as a transnational institution that operates within a regional context and recreates regional narratives. She also problematized the tension between aesthetic and ethnographic discourses that challenge the categories within which museum workers have been trained to operate. Zdenka Badovinac, Director of Moderna galeriija in Ljubljana, presented her concept of the sustainable museum by recapitulating the open narrative of her exhibition Low Budget Utopias. She emphasised that the global museum is a phantasm, an operative fiction that can only be imagined. Badovinac also elaborated on the origin of the museum, emphasizing that the very idea of a museum is governed by the need to represent the world, to speak on behalf of the other. Her concept of the sustainable museum rejects such a possibility; it is rather, according to her, an attempt to communicate with the world. Badovinac advocated strategies of recycling and repetition, acknowledging the impossibility of totalizing visions (such as retrospectives), and commenting on the museum’s limitations. In a sustainable museum, she argued, history is to be defined as an on-going process of composition and decomposition. Nora Razian, Head of Programs and Exhibitions at the Sursock Museum in Beirut, discussed working with very limited resources in a museum that plays a crucial cultural role within the Lebanese capital’s counterpublic sphere. In her presentation, deceptively entitled Let’s Talk About the Weather, she introduced an exhibition realized within the framework of the public program Art and Ecology in a Time of Crisis, demonstrating how global issues such as climate change can gain urgent political significance in local contexts. The aim of the show was to explore the problem of global warming from a regional perspective by focusing on its cultural consequences. The project aimed to provide a counternarrative to the state approved version of history, thus enabling a deeper understanding of the local political and economic situation. However, in this case, the emancipatory pedagogical element was contained not only in the method—a series of productive encounters with art works, workshops, walks, lectures—but also in the knowledge transmitted to the audience. In those talks that engaged the museum within the context of the multicultural Western city, the global museum was exposed as an institution that answers to the historical consequences of colonialism and globalization. In this constellation, the global museum performs its function on two planes: by producing counterknowledge and by constituting and accommodating counterpublics. In his lecture Going Global, Staying Cool, Jelle Bouwhuis, Curator at Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum, discussed defining the global museum as a forum for the articulation of social conflicts and as a place that defuses the danger of a single narrative. He referred to recent long-term projects such as Project 1975 and Global Collaboration that aimed to rethink and restructure the Stedelijk’s Eurocentric modern and contemporary art collections through a collaborative approach and an exchange with institutional and individual partners from outside the Western world. This collaborative research and mutual process of learning was devised as a means to escape the essentializing of “other” cultures. Still, this approach left traditional power structures untouched because it was still in the center by which art from “other” places was made visible. Bouwhuis pointed to another instance of the global: the migrant artists and audiences that negotiate their space within the public sphere of Western society on a daily basis. Bouwhuis proposed a vision of the global museum as a place that accommodates ongoing discussions and provides the infrastructure for the articulation of voices that are otherwise not heard; in other words, the museum as a platform that serves heterogenic local communities and aims at providing a possibility for exchange between them. Another proposal came from researcher and curator Clementine Deliss, who ran the Weltkulturen Museum in Frankfurt (2002–2009) and organized the research laboratory Future Academy. In her remarks, Deliss emphasized the importance of physical architectural arrangements for the production of counterknowledge as it relates to museum collections. She advocated a paradigm of complete openness for the collections and proposed an exhibition format akin to a laboratory or a meeting place where the exchange and aggregation of counterknowledge can be performed. Interestingly, at the end of Deliss’s passionate talk, an audience member speaking “on behalf of his culture” raised the issue of restitution, the return of museum objects to the cultures from which they were taken. However, Wendy Shaw, Professor for the Art History of Islamic Cultures at Berlin’s Free University who chaired the panel on Museum Structures, argued that although there is always a violent history embedded in such objects, they may serve society better if they remain inside the Western museum rather than by “disappearing” into their cultures of origin. The exchange revealed the current limits of the museum’s global decentralization as well as the new, more subtle face of ethnocentrism. We should be mindful then that the (only) place for the “aggregation of counterknowledge” as postulated by Deliss is the Western museum and its power. Shaw also questioned, in an unequivocal way, the ideology of globalism and positioned it within the context of the contemporary resurgence of populism and right-wing ideologies. In her opening remarks, she talked about two possibilities for collective identities: globalist and isolationist, relating these categories to a discussion of the audience for the global museum. While the globalists are affirmative towards globalization, the isolationists are those on the museum’s outside, the ones who do not feel represented by it. How to reach out to this latter group? This was a precisely the problem discussed by the last panel, The Museum’s Public, that tried to formulate some conclusions about how to get away from the patronizing strategy of representing one’s audience, and how to seriously engage the public’s heterogeneity. This last panel included Ahmet Ögüt, Paul Goodwin, and Nora Razian, and was chaired by Nora Sternfeld, Professor for Curating and Art Mediation at Aalto University. The panelists dismissed the notion of the global, arguing that globalism is nothing but an ideology of the privileged transnational neoliberal subject, facilitated by the infrastructure of networks. Sternfield proposed to talk, instead, about “negotiating with reality,” by which she meant that we should discuss singular, particular, and personal experiences and the way they can be facilitated by the museum rather than general categories such as “the public.” At the end of the conference, one audience member proclaimed that we do not need museums anymore. Yet the conference proved otherwise; it was the notion of the “global” that in many presentations was rendered dispensable, whereas the “ideal” museum was revealed to be an important part of the infrastructure of counterknowledges, a place for the active co-production of knowledge, not for its passive reception. As Bouwhuis argued, “pursuing the global” led many modern museums into an “ideological deadlock;” the only way forward, according to Bouwhuis, is to look closely at the museum’s local situation and revitalize its local social role. Both on the margins and at the center, the ideal global museum would be strictly translocal: while museums respond, communicate, and educate a local public, the problems the museum engages are nevertheless transnational and global. The museums located in Western urban centers still need the courage to open themselves up as sites for the polysemic articulation of local voices, and learn from them. It is on the margins that the exploration of the different possibilities and ideas for a critical model of the global museum takes on the most diversified shape.

__label__wiki	0.628561	0.628561	How Octopuses Work by Jennifer Horton Updated: Oct 25, 2019 Octopus Behavior An octopus female uses a jar as her den. Chris Newbert/Getty Images The octopus spends much of its solitary life in a den, leaving at night to hunt. For reasons not clearly understood, it generally likes to search for new real estate every week or two. Octopus dens are usually under a rock or in a crevice, and the animal has even been known to take up residence inside an old, discarded bottle on the sea floor. When it does venture out of its den, the octopus uses one of several methods to get around. The preferred method of locomotion for many octopuses is a form of walking. Rows of suckers on the underside of each arm enable the octopus to move itself forward along the sea floor. Because its arms are highly sensitive – each sucker has up to 10,000 neurons – the octopus can also learn a lot about its surroundings this way, and it may even chance upon a tasty meal. But the octopus can jet into much higher speeds if needed. When it wants to make a quick escape, it takes water in through its mantle and then closes it off to seal in the water. Next, it expels the trapped water forcefully through its funnel, which propels the octopus in the opposite direction at speeds of up to 25 mph (40 kph). Using this method, which is a lot like filling up a balloon with air and then letting it go, the octopus can change its direction by pointing its funnel a different way. The rarer, more primitive and less researched finned octopus (cirratte) can also use its fins for swimming. It often combines the use of its fins with the propulsion method. Little is known about the cirrate, however, because it lives in very deep water. Most articles, like this one, deal with the more common, non-finned octopus (incirrate). If an octopus isn't busy preventing itself from becoming a meal, odds are it's out looking to make a meal out of something else. The octopus uses a variety of techniques to capture and consume prey. Its long, flexible arms are ideal for reaching into crevices after tasty crabs and crawfish, and its soft bodies are able to squeeze into tiny spaces after small fish or clams. Close-up view of beak and mouth parts Marcus Williams, HowStuffWorks And although the octopus does not have any teeth in the standard sense, it has several other just as effective methods of cracking into crustaceans and mollusks. The octopus has a veritable Swiss Army knife of tools located inside its mouth to pry open the shells it can't open with its tentacles. Directly inside its mouth, it has a hard retractable beak similar to a parrot's. This beak is useful for breaking open clam shells and tearing apart flesh. Next to the beak is the radula, a barbed tongue the octopus uses to scrape an animal out of its shell once the shell is opened. And if these tools don't do the trick, it also has a tooth-covered organ called the salivary papilla that it can use to drill into shells. The papilla's bodily secretion also erodes the shell and then weakens the prey so it can be consumed. One of the octopus's preferred methods for capturing prey while swimming is to envelop it in the web of skin between its tentacles, as though capturing it with a net. Then it devours the prey with its beak. In spite of the effort it can take for an octopus to make a meal, most species grow and gain weight quickly. Next, we'll look at why this happens – and how adults manage to mate without all their legs getting in the way. Techies Eye the Octopus Robotics engineers are interested in the arms too, but for a different reason. They believe that the octopus arm provides a good template for how to create a strong but flexible robotic arm. Such an arm would be extremely useful in delicate surgeries or in unpredictable search and rescue situations [source: Mayell].	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0078.json.gz/line443

Israel and Azerbaijan sign $1.6 billion arms deal, Iran-Azeri tensions rise → Jihad Jenny Tonge resigns from Lib-Dems after antisemitic outburst Ding dong the witch is gone! Earlier this week I posted about an Israel Apartheid Week meeting at Middlesex University in London in which not only did Ken O’Keefe compare Jews to Nazis, but (h/t Richard Millett) Baroness Jenny Tonge, aka Jihad Jenny Tonge, who as a British MP ought to know and behave better, said the following: …to beware of the Israel lobby because “once they have decided to go for you, they will go for you. I bear the scars” (clip 5). She finished by saying that “Israel is not going to be there forever” and warned that eventually Israel “will lose its support and then they will reap what they have sown.” (Clip 3) Who are “they” and what does she imply will happen to them? Richard Millett has posted the video clips of Jihad Jenny’s outbursts, one which I repost here. Go to Richard Millett’s blog to see the rest, if you have the stomach for it. But now for the really good news. After protests and outcry from across the British political spectrum, Tonge has resigned (or been made to resign) from the Liberal-Democratic party and has resigned the Parliamentary Whip too. From the first link above: Ed Miliband: “[There is] no place in politics for those who question [the] existence of the state of Israel. Nick Clegg must condemn Jenny Tonge’s remark and demand [an] apology.” Labour Friends of Israel Chair John Woodcock MP said: “Nick Clegg must act after this latest anti-Israel diatribe from Liberal Democrat Baroness Tonge. Comments and remarks such as these have absolutely no place in mainstream politics.” “This is the latest in a series of outrageous remarks from Baroness Tonge – words of excuse or apology in response are no longer enough. Nick Clegg needs to take disciplinary action against his offensive peer to reassure people the government remains serious about a two state solution.” From the second link (the JC) above: Baroness Tonge has resigned from the Liberal Democrats following anti-Israel comments she made at an Israel Apartheid Week event. She rejected an ultimatum from party leader Nick Clegg to apologise for the remarks and will no longer sit on the party’s benches in the House of Lords. Confirming Baroness Tonge had left the Lib Dems, Mr Clegg said: “These remarks were wrong and offensive and do not reflect the values of the Liberal Democrats. “I asked Baroness Tonge to withdraw her remarks and apologise for the offense she has caused. She has refused to do so and will now be leaving the party. And about time too! This is great news for the upcoming Purim festival, where reversals of bad fortune into good are the theme of the day.

Meir Weiss says: 1 March 2012 at 02:10 am Reblogged this on Meir Weiss' Blog. 1 March 2012 at 14:43 pm Are this kind of thoughts usual in Lib Dem ? I am a bit surprised honestly – I was expecting this coming out from party on the Far Left or Far Right, sometimes from some ( but not all ) Socialist organizations . My knowledge about UK politics is sureficial ( my fault, I admit, since it is a very important country ) but in Germany or in Italy and maybe in France as well it is not easy hearing such a thing in a supposed to be centrist party . anneinpt says: The Lib-Dems have a reputation for being anti-Israel. In fact, although they are technically center, their policies and attitudes bring them much more to the left. I’m also not very up to date on British politics (I’ve been gone too long). Perhaps Brian Goldfarb or another British commenter can enlighten us some more. Mark Bernadiner says: Baroness Jenny Tonge – genetic idiot A bloody history of britain and europe: Colonization of America: almost entire native population (between 17 and 25 mln.) has been exterminated, the rest were put in concentration camps RESERVATIONS; Colonization of Australia: almost entire native population has been exterminated; Colonization of New Zeeland: almost entire native population has been exterminated; In Africa: slavery and murder of native population; In India: hundred thousands killed; In China: hundred thousands killed; In Israel: stealing over 75% of Israel territory and creation of illegal palestinian arab state of Jordan; help and support of Holocaust of thousands of Jews in 1920-40s; current support for islamofascism, elimination of the State of Israel and extermination of Jews, distributing fraudulent, fake and false information and reports on Israel and Jews; In Europe: signing 1938 Munich Agreement with Hitler that lead to WWII and death of 55+ mln. people around the world; support for Holocaust committed by Hitler and muslims under Huj Amin, mufti of Jerusalem, supervision. Still occupies Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. In response to the German blitz on London, the British wiped out the entire city of Dresden, burning to death more German civilians (about 100, 000) including children than the number of people killed in Hiroshima. In 1944: when the R.A.F. tried to bomb the Gestapo Headquarters in Copenhagen, some of the bombs missed their target and fell on a Danish children’s hospital, killing 83 little children. 2011: Providing support to extremists in Libya, killing civilians, including children, destroying civilian infrastructure under false slogan of “no-fly zone” The list can go on and on and on, but the above is enough to conclude that britain is not legitimate entity, but a career-criminal gang, a pig farm of thieves, murderers and liars who have no legitimate right to exist on the Earth and must be eliminated. Thank you for your comment Mark and welcome to my blog. I wouldn’t go quite as far as calling Britain an illegitimate entity and the other epithets you used, but the history you provided is certainly proof of the hypocrisy of certain of Britain’s politicians and public personalities in criticizing and deligitimizing Israel. Except that in New Zealand, the Maoris fought the Brits to a standstill and thus got a reasonable peace treaty. And Mark omits the role of, eg, those of Dutch origin in Southern Africa, the Portugese in ditto, the French in West Africa and the Caribbean, The Germans in Africa, the Dutch (as Dutch) in the East Indies, the Belgians in the Congo. I don’t think any West European nation comes out of colonialism with any credit (and I forget the Italians in Ethiopia and Somaliland, the Spanish in North West Africa, the Caribbean, Central and Southern America, the Chinese in Tibet, and in the Uighur territory, the Russians… Does anyone in the North get any credit for any decent behaviour? No need to be anglo-phobic about this. Roxymuzak says: Tonge in cheeks.Foot in mouth more like. The Lib-Dems need to vet themselves for neo Nazis…. I must add to my comment above, re the sins of colonialism and colonialists. After the success of the American Revolution/War of Independence, any bad behaviour was all done by Americans, by no means all of whom were of British (or English) origin. Further, the same applies to Canada and Australia, after they became ‘Dominions’. Thus, one shouldn’t blame the British for what those now independent of Britain chose to do. They were not obliged to continue the practices they inherited and, while I’m here, it is important to note that Britain abolished the slave trade in 1807 and slavery throughout its colonies from 1837, 30 years before the USA, and without a war being needed to do so. Britain’s colonial record was bad enough without blaming it for other people’s sins as well. Rob Harris says: Its good to see Tonge getting the boot. Its interesting to see such a person being filled with so much hatred that her lack of respect for the truth reduces her to the point of idiocy. She says the US will get sick of giving money to “the US aircraft carrier of the Middle East that is Israel” Does that mean, according to her logic, that Israel does a good deal of service to warrant that money? Secondly, to the best of my knowledge there are no military US infrastructure in Israel other than a radar station. Perhaps she should also consider the numerous US bases in the Arab world? Thirdly, since when does the US give Israel 70 billion a year? Oh wait, maybe she was actually talking about what it would amount to in Italian Lira… 😀 Nobody ever suspected the hard left of logic… oops….are we already kick out of Euro ? 🙂 LOL! Rob was only using Italian lira to demonstrate the absurdity of the number that Tonge used regarding American aid to Israel. He could just as easily have used Israeli lira – that preceded the shekel and then the new shekel.

The result is a set of database tables consuming 4.5 GB that repesent routing graphs for each route type. The goal of the journey planning engine is to find the shortest total weighting between any two vertices for a given route type, as fast as possible (ideally less than a second for routes of up to 50km). Parts 1-3 of this diagram show how an OpenStreetMap is converted into structures for routing in CycleStreets. Part 4 shows the additional structure that needs to be re-created to plan routes between arbitary start and finish points. That graph is stored in these two main database tables: These are stored in a spatially indexed table and contain fields for longitude, latitude and elevation of the vertex. These are also stored in a table that has a spatial index. The important fields are the startVertexId and finishVertexId, which refer to the vertices. For each route type there's a weighting for travelling along that edge in each direction. For example for the shortest routes, the weighting is 'length', which records the distance in metres for travelling along the edge in one direction. There's also the 'antiLength', which measures the distance in the opposite direction. These are usually the same, but a value of 0 in the antiLenth field would indicate a one-way street. The anti-fields are usually quite different for the fastest routes, where the weightings measure time in seconds. For an edge that represents a two-way street that goes up hill, the values of 'time' and 'antiTime' could, for example, be 50 seconds to ride up, and 10 seconds to come down. The route type defines which of the set of weightings from the edges table to use. The start and finish points of a journey are not usually at a vertex. This is because vertices only occur at junctions, bends or at the ends of ways. In those cases, CycleStreets interpolates the streets and generates extra temporary vertices at the start and finish points. It creates extra temporary edges that link those vertices to the permanent vertices of the graph. The plug-in router should be designed to handle these extra temporary additions to the permanent network, for routing. It is possible for the plug-in to work out those extra temporary vertices and edges itself. However, to do that effectively it would need access to the OSM tables so that it could interpolate the streets itself. A further issue is that CycleStreets uses a routing structure compression technology, called Cello. The effect of that is to reduce the number of edges and vertices by pre-tightening the network. The local network around the start and finish points has to be restored in order to guarantee the best route will be found. A plug-in wouldn't know how Cello had compressed the network. This is the other main reason why it should not get involved in creating the additional temporary links. CycleStreets stores the routing information in MySQL tables. They may not be stored in the most useful format for a plugin. The parameters passed in to the plug in search include: start vertex finish vertex routing dimension - i.e. which set of edge weightings will be used. additional temporary vertices and edges - tuples describing the vertices and edges. other options - these are performance settings for the routing engine. The distance travelled Whether a route was found Whether a list of the edges was compiled successfully Other detail - such as what engine algorithms were used.
