Petrel Resources Re-Establishing Baghdad Operations
Irish-based Petrel Resources has said it is “re-establishing its Baghdad operations”.
In its interim statement for the six months ended 30 June 2018, the company said:
“As we approach the end of 2018, Iraq is fitfully emerging from conflict, and again open for responsible business. Baghdad has re-established its authority, by defeating Islamic State insurgents and recovering Kirkuk.
“Pro-business parties won the 2018 elections. While it proved difficult to form a National Government in 2018, which contributed to turbulent protests in southern Iraq during 2018, prospects are now more encouraging than at any time since 2010.
“Iraq has endured an almost continuous period of conflicts and/or sanctions since 1980, from which it is only now emerging. Much trauma has been inflicted, as shown by the difficulties forming a government in 2018 and the protests in southern Iraq – a region generally supportive of Baghdad governments since 2005.
“Yet, despite 2018 difficulties, we believe Iraq is finally turning a corner: pro-business parties open to international investment polled well in the May 2018 general election. But no one party holds a majority and, as of September 2018, negotiations on new government formation were ongoing.
“So far, the impact of this unrest on oil production from the southern fields has been limited, with August 2018 output stable at 4.65 million barrels daily (mmbod). Internal demand of 0.8 mmbod leaves nearly 3.8 mmbod available for export – which has remained consistent despite infrastructural and decision-making challenges – though well below the 2008 target of 6.5 mmbod and the 2012 target of 8.5 mmbod. Iraqi output is actually higher than immediately before the November 2016 OPEC + Russia cuts, and also higher than its current official OPEC quota of 4.444 mmbod.
“The Western Desert, where Petrel has an interest in exploration ground, is still impossible for international companies to effectively operate.”

Micah Lexier | Not Far From The Tree Tote Bag
Our friend Laura Reinsborough founded a charitable organization a few years ago with a simple but brilliant mandate: if you have a tree on your property with a harvest too abundant for you to eat or pick, they'll send volunteers. The fruit picked are split three ways: a third to the owner, a third shared amongst the volunteers who picked it, and a third delivered (by bicycle, no less) to local food banks, shelters and community kitchens.
Called Not Far From the Tree, the organization facilitated the picking of 3000 pounds (from forty trees) in 2008. Last year they picked 12,512 pounds of fruit from 243 trees, with nearly a thousand volunteers. Over the years they've picked black walnuts, sweet cherries, sour cherries, mulberries, pawpaw, ginko, quince, serviceberries, apricots, plums, grapes, crabapples, elderberries, sumac, pears and apples.
They are currently in the middle of a crowd-sourcing fundraising campaign and for a gift of only $20 you get a tote bag designed by Micah Lexier. For details, click here.

Billy Squier's Emotions in Motion, by Andy Warhol
"I realized that my record company was going to want to have my face on my album cover, but I didn't want it to be just me with a guitar," Billy Squier remarked recently, sounding somewhat humble, but Warhol paints a different picture of Squier's image at the time:
“Went to Madison Square Garden (cab $4) to see Billy Squier, he was just going on. Backstage there were about fifty nude girls serving hot dogs and beer and mud wrestling. Took pictures, then realized I didn’t have film in the camera.” - The Andy Warhol Diaries, page 453.
Squier told the Boston Globe in 2005 "Andy was at the height of his popularity. So I called him up, and he said, "Sure." He asked me what colors I didn't like." Warhol took a series of polaroids and produced a couple of different silkscreens of the singer. Emotions in Motion was Squier's third album, released in July of 1982. The graphics were used as the LP cover and a picture disk 7", among other promotional items such as posters and buttons.
Squier wore (and famously tore open) an Emotions in Motion t-shirt in the music video that many consider the worst of all time. In Rock Me Tonite he tears off the shirt and replaces it with a pink tank top, and then continues to prance and preen. Squier credits the video with destroying his career.
The Warhol silk screen now hangs in his apartment.

Marvellous Mirvac: Australia’s $8 billion Property Developer Rorts JobKeeper Scheme
By Michael West
This story was originally published on Australia’s leading investigative reporting news site Michael West Media. As the author has written of this story: “Busting the $8 billion property juggernaut Mirvac for rorting JobKeeper this week reminds us of precisely why we are here, our raison ‘d’etre if you like. Our stories were followed up in the mainstream media, politicians touched base, there was a strong reaction across social media. And the Tax Office responded. They are on the case. JobKeeper is being rorted from pillar to post.”
Mirvac, an $8 billion property juggernaut, is claiming the JobKeeker subsidy. Michael West reports on large corporations rorting taxpayers by pocketing their employees’ PAYG tax while avoiding their obligation to pay entitlements to workers they have sacked.
While regaling shareholders with big-ticket commercial property spending proposals, Mirvac has concocted a devious plan to usurp the JobKeeper scheme. Not only does Mirvac pay zero income tax, thanks to its trust structure, it also profits from government contracts and, now, has even availed itself of the JobKeeper subsidy as well. It’s the triple-decker taxpayer sandwich.
This, despite the JobKeeper rules which prohibit companies with more than one billion in revenue claiming the payments unless their revenues have fallen by 50 per cent.
Detailed questions were put to Mirvac chief executive Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz, who is yet to respond, however a statement from a company spokesperson said:
“We have applied for JobKeeper assistance for some of our employees across the Mirvac Group where we have experienced a significant decline in our normal operations”.
As Mirvac records revenues of around $2 billion a year, it should not be eligible for JobKeeper. Moreover, it has not informed the ASX that its revenues are down by more than 30%.
It appears therefore that Mirvac is being cute. Large property groups have typically established dozens of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) to house their various businesses and game the GST regime.
Presumably, although part of a larger group, Mirvac is claiming JobKeeper based on the performance of some of these SPVs, probably where they can claim a 30% fall in income based on specific GST records within certain timeframes.
One former Mirvac manager, who was fired by Mirvac in April, told Michael West Media that, along with another colleague who was also fired, both were asked to fill out JobKeeper application forms.
“Mirvac chose to fire contracted employees across the entire business on April 21st 2020 “due to COVID”. The decision had nothing to do with the need of the specific roles as all different contractors were terminated.
“Mirvac exploited this COVID-19 crisis as a way to fire all staff employed on contracts. Considering that retail centres were open as an essential service our roles my role was certainly not genuinely redundant.
“I would think any business cannot use the pandemic as a guise to get rid of employees that they would otherwise be unable to dismiss under the laws of unfair dismissal.
“I was asked to work out the rest of the week and so still had access to my emails and phone. I received a termination letter … and then, later that week, received a JobKeeper nomination form from Mirvac HR. I cannot imagine why they would need me to fill out a JobKeeper nomination form if I am not keeping my job. I also received a follow-up phone call from one of Mirvac’s HR team on my personal phone number asking me to fill this out.
“What it did show was that Mirvac was clearly in the process of applying for JobeKeeper payments and should have incorporated that scheme to protect all staff.”
Mirvac’s chief executive declined to respond to specific questions regarding the amount of JobSeeker claims it had made or whether the board of the company was aware that it had been claiming the allowance.
According to the Government’s JobKeeper rules, a big business with more than $1 billion has to show a fall in turnover of more than 50% to be eligible to claim JobKeeper:
“Your business has faced either a:
30% fall in turnover (for an aggregated turnover of $1 billion or less)
50% fall in turnover (for an aggregated turnover of more than $1 billion),
Aggregated turnover tests for entities likely to exceed $1 billion:
Large businesses must show a shortfall percentage of 50% or more.
For the purposes of determining if the 50% shortfall percentage applies, a large business is an entity that:
had an aggregated turnover of more than $1 billion in the previous income year to the income year in which the turnover test period occurs, or
is likely to have an aggregated turnover of more than $1 billion in the income year during which the turnover test period occurs.
Questions to Mirvac Chief Executive Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz
1. On what grounds is Mirvac applying for the JobKeeper subsidy? It is a billion-dollar company whose revenues have presumably not fallen 30% (the eligibility criteria)?
2. What eligibility criteria is Mirvac invoking to claim JobKeeper?
3. How many employees and ex-employees has Mirvac claimed for?
4. Could you please respond to this claim by somebody who used to work for Mirvac in March: “Mirvac chose to fire contracted employees across the entire business on April 21st 2020 “due to COVID”. The decision had nothing to do with the need of the specific roles as all different contractors were terminated.
5. Does Mirvac retain the tax of PAYG employees who are now on JobKeeper?
6. Do you agree this amounts to a taxpayer subsidy which also allows Mirvac to avoid having to pay entitlements to workers it has let go?
7. Has the board of Mirvac been privy to your JobKeeper activities and have they been discussed at board level?
8. Has Mirvac taken legal advice in relation to its JobKeeper claims? Please detail.
Statement from Mirvac:
We have been impacted right across the breadth of our business, which is why we withdrew market guidance in March. We still have some way to go before we understand the full extent of the impact.
We moved quickly to implement a number of key measures in response to COVID-19, including
– reducing discretionary spend and deferring capital expenditure;
– a voluntary 20 per cent reduction in remuneration for the ELT and the Board, from 1 April to 30 June, to preserve cash and jobs; and
– a voluntary reduction in working hours for most employees, from 1 May to 30 June, to share the impact across the business.

Taxi: One Punch Banta/Blind Date
Sam Stecklow / September 9, 2015 / Critic / Leave a Comment
“One Punch Banta”
The second episodes of American network TV shows are, traditionally, just rehashes of things established in the pilot, which is usually shot and edited months before the network even decides to pick up the show or not. Taxi, like in its pilot, decides to eschew the idea that the central characters of a TV show need to be fully introduced by the second episode – we’ve still barely heard from John, played by series regular Randall Carver – to focus on one character.
In “One Punch Banta,” the character we learn about is Louie De Palma, the scummy cab dispatcher. Ostensibly an episode about Tony Banta getting a big shot in his boxing career, the real main takeaway is that Louie De Palma is a scuzzy, unpleasant person who certainly shouldn’t have a management position. Over the course of the show, he and Tony act as special foils to one another. Tony is the kind of simpleton only found in sitcoms, warm and cheerful and dumb like a golden retriever puppy, and Louie is the kind of arch villain only found in sitcoms: a conniving, money-obsessed, capitalistic rat who enjoys profiting off the pain of others. He’s a bit like the Wario of the show, if you think about it. The relationship between Tony and Louie is forever tipped in Louie’s favor, but sometimes Tony surprises him. When Alex Rieger tells Louie that he and the whole garage will be at Tony’s fight against a big-name boxer that Friday night, Louie calls bullshit – but then he’s there in the garage, alone, on Friday night. (Alex’s good-heartedness bites him in the ass, too; he bets $100 he knows he’ll lose to Louie as to whether or not Tony will lose the fight, just so he doesn’t hurt Tony’s feelings.)
Louie’s, uh, demeanor in this episode is not limited to discouraging Tony from following his dreams and becoming the first person to make it out of the garage (to which Louie says: “Nuh-uh! Once a bum, always a bum.”) In no particular order, he tells John (the new driver who I feel I have to keep reintroducing because, who is he??) to never “pick up a cripple,” threatens Latka, who does not speak English, with physical violence in the workplace, and breaks a part of an engine Latka had just fixed because he is a terrible person. He is the ultimate sitcom evil boss, so much worse than Michael Scott or really any regulars from any major shows; he’s more like one of Elaine or George’s bosses from Seinfeld made into a starring character. In the end, though, he’s is right. Tony loses the fight, Alex loses his $100, and everyone returns to the garage, a little worse for wear. Except Louie, of course.

If Taxi could allow its regular characters to be unnaturally cruel to each other (see: Louie to Latka), then it really let them rip into guest characters. In “Blind Date,” Taxi‘s first Very Special Message Episode, Alex, after some over-the-phone conversation and flirting, goes out with Angela Matusa (Suzanne Kent), an operator for Bobby’s answering service. (I have absolutely no idea what an answering service is.) The Big Catch, though: Angela is fat. If it feels like I’m skipping anything in the episode yet, I’m not; we first see Angela at six minutes, thirty seconds into the episode. On her arrival, the studio audience gives a big “Ohhhhhh,” because she is fat. I am not reading into anything here. There is no subtext to be misinterpreted.
It’s not as if the idea at laughing at people because they’re perceived to be overweight has gone away in the time since – hello, Mike & Molly, entering its sixth season on CBS this fall – but television has at least gotten a bit gentler. The script for this episode calls for Kent, a veteran of LA improv troupe the Groundlings and best known for her recurring role as Mrs. Rene on Pee-wee’s Playhouse, to put herself down the entire episode. Indeed, it’s difficult to see why she agrees to go out with Alex. From the moment she’s introduced, she’s hostile, expecting him to be like everyone else who interacts with her and run the other direction. “I’m not exactly beautiful, or even good-looking,” she tells Alex. “I’m plain. Feel free to jump in and stop me at any time.” It doesn’t get much better at the restaurant, where Tony, John, Latka, and Bobby crash the date and giggle about Angela in front of her face.
Alex feels so badly about how awful she felt on the date that he forces himself to show up at her apartment the next night. He explains himself to Elaine by comparing Angela to a “car wreck” he can’t walk away from. Angela is little more than a thin-guilt project to him; when he gets to her apartment, he propositions that they become friends. She asks him, if she loses weight, could she be a romantic pursuit for Alex? He hedges on that question (fatally, as it turns out, but you’ll have to wait until next season for that), but stresses to her that he could be a friend. “So what it is is is,” Angela tearfully stammers, “I could call you whenever I feel like it? If I need advice, I could call you?” An overweight character who could peaceably interact with other people and not be brought to tears by the idea of someone paying attention to them was evidently too much to ask of the writers of Taxi.
Looking elsewhere in the episode, the writers’ biases, or ignorances, are similarly clear. Latka, the mechanic character played by Andy Kaufman, really just has one joke: the concept that he is foreign, and would have different language, ideas, and culture from the Americans in the garage. (At one point in this episode, Louie refers to him as a “foreigner” with a curse on his tongue.) Foreign Man, which Latka is based on, was a goofy nightclub act that launched Kaufman into late-night fame. Alex Pappademas wrote of it on Grantland:
Foreign Man, who hailed from an island in the Caspian Sea, spoke with a thick, unplaceable accent and did jokes and impressions so ineptly you began to feel bad for him. Then he would announce that he wanted to im-ee-tehhht de Elvis Presley, and he’d turn around and do a costume change, and when he faced the crowd again, Kaufman would do his extraordinary Elvis impersonation, an Elvis impersonation even Elvis himself was said to have praised, and people who’d never seen the act before felt amazement and relief. Kaufman’s transformation into Elvis revealed that Foreign Man’s sad, sweaty failure, his abjection, had been just part of the show all along; Elvis released the audience from the discomfort Foreign Man had created, because if Elvis was the reality then Foreign Man was just a mask, and this was somehow comforting.
Andy Kaufman was always just punking us at his own expense, but Foreign Man, as one of his earliest jokes, is also one of his sweetest and most enjoyable (it’s certainly funny, but not altogether comfortable, to watch Jerry Lawler piledrive him). Latka Gravas is the first half of Foreign Man – the poor, pathetic wannabe comedian – without the relief of the second half. As such, the jokes that Taxi make about Latka early on focus on him and not on us; it is enough that he is just simply “foreign.”
“Blind Date” ends with Alex and Angela embracing in her kitchen, him absolved of his guilt at feeling unattracted to her and her having what the show makes it seem like is the first friend she’s had in years. Alex gets to have an emotional victory for playing out his “good guy” fantasy, something which Angela points out to him several times in the episode. Sometimes straight men are just so awful.

‘Porus’ will break the norms: Actor Laksh Lalwani
Home » News » ‘Porus’ will break the norms: Actor Laksh Lalwani
Posted By user1 on Nov 18, 2017 | 0 comments
Historical drama show “Porus”, which aims to depict the story of Greek conqueror Alexander and Indian defender Porus, will make detractors of television content sit up and take notice of the new benchmarks it will set, says the show’s lead actor Laksh Lalwani.
Set in 350 BC, “Porus” is being shot at a lavish set in Umbergaon, Gujarat.
A dekko at its characters gives a sense of the attention to detail that has gone into the costumes, jewellery, body language and the aura of the Swastik Productions’ show, to be aired on Sony Entertainment Television starting November 27.
“The first words that come to my mind about taking up this show is thankful and grateful. I wasn’t able to convince myself that would I be able to pull it off,” Laksh told IANS.
For his role as Porus, the 21-year-old tall, fair and handsome actor has beefed up and has acquired special skills to carry out the action sequences.
“My training started in April. I learnt sword fighting, horse riding, martial arts, rowing, scuba diving, and everything adventurous was into play… I was living the life I wanted to, and getting paid for it.
“I gained weight and muscle… Otherwise, I was a lean person,” said Laksh as he flexed his biceps.
He is convinced that the show — said to be the most expensive that Indian television has seen — will be a trendsetter.
“This will be a show which will break the norms. Honestly, people look down upon television. When this show will come, it will change it all and will become a benchmark in all aspects… The action, costume, acting, direction.”
The role requires him to dedicate 12 hours a day to shoot, and two hours of workout — leaving little time for his personal life. But Laksh is not complaining.
“My present is Porus and my only aim is to make it larger than life. That’s what I am focussing on,” said the actor, who sports heavy costumes and accessories in the show.
Before getting a chance to feature in “Porus”, Laksh had an interesting story about how he landed in showbiz.
He auditioned for “MTV Roadies” on his friend and mother’s insistence and got chosen.
“My mother said, ‘You must go, I have a dream to see you on television’. That’s how it began. I went there, I got selected. Then one fine morning, I got a call saying that what if instead of ‘Roadies’, we offer you a fiction show and pay you as well? I said why not.
“That’s how I packed my bags and came to Mumbai. Then started off the journey, and here I am,” recounted the Delhi boy, who says he has become a “Mumbai guy” now.
Apart from “MTV Warrior High”, Laksh has also featured in “Adhuri Kahaani Hamari”, “Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya” and “Pardes Mein Hai Meraa Dil”.

Parco Val Sanagra Grandola ed Uniti Like
The splendid Parco Val Sanagra is a large territory rich with flora, fauna, and interesting antique rural settlements. In 2005, the unspoiled Sanagra Valley, situated in the commune of Grandola ed Uniti and Menaggio, was declared a local Park, in order to protect its natural, historical and anthropologic features. This magnificent valley, set in the heart of the Lepontine alps lies in between 300 m and 2000 m altitude.
Ethnographic and Natural Museum of Val Sanagra(0.0 km)
The Museum holds records of the local history, traditions and customs. Several natural environments are recreated complete with plants, animals, mushrooms fossils and dioramas relating to the local fauna. The museum also has documents about the former Menaggio-Porlezza railway line, a music room and a collection of old farming tools. The museum is housed in Villa Camozzi built around the middle of the eighteenth century by the family De Gualtis. Then sold to Luigi Camozzi Camozzi, it remained in family ownership until 1977. In 1986 it was bought by the city of Grandola ed Uniti and used as the town hall and museum.
Albergo Lenno: Description
The area is covered by vast forests, groves of birches, oaks and chestnut trees flourish at the bottom of the valley, giving way to stately beech forests along the mid range mountain belt. There are thickets of silver firs and Alpine spruces at the higher altitudes. The park is home to many of the mammals and birds which inhabit the mountain regions such as red deer, chamois and roe deer and even eagles. Alpine pastures and maggenghi - grasslands which were used as springtime pastures – many abandoned, a few carefully restored - are scattered throughout the valley as evidence of the ancient practice of the transhumance.
Because of its micro climate, the valley features the presence of rare botanical species some of which are endemic to the area. In addition the Val Sanagra contains some of the oldest rock formations in Italy and some go way back to the mid-Carboniferous period.
Many walking routes have been traced out it this large territory. One of them starts at the location Piamuro, close to the cemetery of the village Loveno, and follows the course of the river Sanagra with traces of traditional activities like mills, lime-pits and furnaces among ancient mills and furnaces that used the Sanagra’s hydraulic energy, and leads to the ancient rural settlement of Monti di Madri. Another route, again starting at Piamuro, leads through Codogna, with some ancient elegant villas once owned by the local landowners, to "Il Rogolone" an enormous oak tree, also symbol of the Park.
In the Villa Camozzi at Codogna you can visit the Museum "Museo Etnografico Naturalistico della Val Sanagra" . This museum collects historic and naturalistic knowledge of the Val Sanagra. There are different rooms dedicated to palaentologic findings, antique crafts, the old Menaggio-Porlezza railway, and the town's brass band. In addition, there are three dioramas which show the different environments of the valley and their fauna.

Planar LED Video Walls Selected by NBC Olympics for production of 2016 Olympic Games in Rio
NBC Olympics, a division of the NBC Sports Group, selected Planar to provide fine pitch LED video wall solutions for its production of the Games of the XXXI Olympiad, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Three Planar TVH Series LED video walls were featured on the NBC Olympics set within the International Broadcast Center in Rio and one Planar TVH Series LED video wall for NBC's outdoor Copacabana Studio in Brazil. The video walls include a 13-foot wide by 13-foot tall Planar TVH1.9 video wall comprised of 169 displays, as well as an 8-foot wide by 7-foot tall Planar TVH1.9 video wall made up of 56 displays, both with a 1.9mm pixel pitch for ultra-high resolution graphics and video playback. In addition, NBC's sets feature a large 9-foot wide by 12-foot tall 2.5mm pixel pitch in-floor display made up of 108 Planar TVH2.5 displays.
Jennifer Davis, chief marketing officer of Planar International said, "These video walls are a stunning backdrop to NBC's broadcast coverage, helping to bring all the excitement of the largest sporting event in the world to life." "We are thrilled to have their technology featured in our studios for the incredible Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro," said Atila Ozkaplan, Senior Director, Technical Logistics for NBC Olympics.
The Planar TVH Series allows for image adjustment to achieve broadcast-specific color temperatures and gamma levels more precisely. The Planar TVH Series produces deeper blacks, higher contrast and less reflection for on-camera installations around the world.

There Is No Shortcut, But All We Have Are Shortcuts
Basing a "virtuous cycle" on lies and propaganda is self-defeating.
Does believing in the "recovery" make it real? The propaganda policies of the Federal Reserve and the Federal government are based on the hope that you'll answer "yes." The entire "recovery" is founded on the idea that if the Fed and Federal agencies can persuade the citizenry that down is up then people will hurry into their friendly "too big to fail" bank and borrow scads of money to bid up housing, buy new vehicles, and generally spend money they don't have in the delusional belief that inflation is low, wages are rising and the economy is growing.
In other words, the "virtuous cycle" of new debt feeding economic growth is based on conning (or brow-beating) the American public into believing that the "recovery" is real. Our "leaders" hope this baseless belief will spark a buying frenzy that then fuels a real recovery.
Perception may seem like everything to our Delusionol(tm)-soaked "leaders," but reality still trumps the con. Real wages are declining and debt loads are still crushing, so the new cycle of borrowing and consumption the Fed and Central State want to create requires trillions of dollars of free money, either guarantees or subsidies from Federal agencies or trillions in monetary printing via "quantitative easing."
Everybody loves free money, but once again reality trumps fantasy, for guaranteeing lenders from loss leads to moral hazard, and distributing free money leads people to gamble it on speculation or other forms of unproductive mal-investment.
So all the free money is squandered or gambled away, but the Federal government is left with the debt it took on to fund the trillions in give-aways. That means the cost of servicing all that new debt rises, which means either government spending on other programs has to be cut or taxes have to rise, reducing disposable income, savings and consumption.
Free money and guarantees incentivize speculation and mal-investment, so the money is squandered, leaving the immense debts behind to be serviced from now until Doomsday (December 21, 2021--the Mayan astronomer/sage was dyslexic.)
Here is precisely how the lies and propaganda are perpetrated. Rick Davis of theConsumer Metrics Institute pulls apart the massaged con-job of "official" GDP growth:
Once again the BEA has used "deflaters" that will strain the credibility of the public, especially if they buy gasoline. To correct the "nominal" data into "real" numbers the BEA assumed that the annualized inflation rate during 1Q-2012 was 1.54%. As a reminder, lower "deflaters" cause the reported "real" growth rates to increase -- and once again very low seasonally adjusted BEA inflation "deflaters" have been the headline number's best friend.If the raw "nominal" numbers were instead "deflated" by using the seasonally corrected CPI-U calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for the same time period, nearly the entire headline growth rate vanishes-- and the resulting growth rate would have been a minuscule 0.08% with "real final sales" contracting.
-- Real per-capita disposable income shrank at an annualized -0.27% rate during the quarter (from $32,699 per capita to $32,677 per capita) -- and it remains lower than it was five quarters ago.
-- "Real final sales" and factory production continued to be supported by inventory building -- which is unsustainable and must ultimately reverse (even if the cost of carrying the inventories has been kept artificially low by the Fed).
So GDP really didn't grow at all, disposable household income is declining and much of the "growth" was channel-stuffing inventory build. Yet this reality was spun into a headline 2.2% "growth" in GDP, in the hopes that would make us feel warm and fuzzy enough to go borrow a ton of money to blow on something or other (unless we've already borrowed tens of thousands of dollars in student loans, in which case we're now debt-serfs and unable to borrow more.)
Something else happens in the real world when the government massages, mis-states and flat-out lies to twist reality into fantasy: people no longer trust their government or their institutions. This loss of faith is a social-fractal death-spiral, as every strained, frantic attempt to persuade us that "all is well, the economy is growing nicely, unemployment is down," etc., only further strengthens the awareness that our government has lost the ability to report the truth, in matters large and small.
Our government is in effect a pathological liar--not just about wages, GDP and unemployment, but everything. Does any well-informed citizen believe anything the government claims is true, about Afghanistan, the budget, or future Federal liabilities?
Data is now massaged for political expediency, failure is spun into success, and consequences are shoved remorselessly onto the future generations. The entire policy of the Federal Reserve and the Federal government boils down to pushing propaganda in the hopes we'll all swallow the con and believe that down is now up and our "leadership" is a swell bunch of guys and gals instead of sociopaths who will say anything to evade the consequences of their actions and policy choices.

We are like passengers on the Titanic ten minutes after its fatal encounter with the iceberg: though our financial system seems unsinkable, its reliance on debt and financialization has already doomed it.We cannot know when the Central State and financial system will destabilize, we only know they will destabilize. We cannot know which of the State’s fast-rising debts and obligations will be renounced; we only know they will be renounced in one fashion or another.
The process of the unsustainable collapsing and a new, more sustainable model emerging is called revolution, and it combines cultural, technological, financial and political elements in a dynamic flux.History is not fixed; it is in our hands. We cannot await a remote future transition to transform our lives. Revolution begins with our internal understanding and reaches fruition in our coherently directed daily actions in the lived-in world.

Two Power Armenian Men Sentenced for Fraud Scheme
On November 28, 2012, the US Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California stated that Angus Brown, aka “Homicide,” and Arman Sharopetrosian, aka “Horse,” received additional prison sentences for operating a identity theft scheme out of the Avenal State Prison.
The two men and other Armenian Power gang members worked with African-American street gang members and bribed co-conspirators at banks in order to gain control of bank accounts. The scheme caused at least $8 million in losses.
United States District Judge David O. Carter said it was one of the most sophisticated fraud schemes he’s seen in his time as a judge.
Angus Brown was serving a prison term for identity theft at the time of his arrest, and Arman Sharopetrosian was serving a 10-year sentence for shooting at a car and carrying a concealed weapon.
During the scheme, Brown and Sharopetrosian were able to steal bank information from mostly elderly victims and forged signatures of the victims. Checks worth large amounts of money were then deposited in bank accounts set up the conspirators. Recruited bank employees identified accounts and victims that were less likely to notice their identities were stolen.
During the case, prosecutors stated: “[The defendants’] express purpose was to target bank customers with large-value accounts who were not proficient in checking up on their accounts via the Internet [and] sought to use that information to plunder the victims’ life savings.”
Sharopetrosian was found guilty of bank fraud conspiracy, four counts of bank fraud, and seven counts of aggravated identity fraud. Brown pleaded guilty to bank fraud conspiracy, bank fraud, and 17 counts of aggravated identity theft.
20 defendants were named in the indictment, and most of the defendants will be sentenced in the next couple of months. Some of the defendants have already received 51 months in prison.

September 6, 2008 - by
URL: dharmafly.com/crunchies
Planet what?
‘Planet‘ sites are a new and wonderful way to draw people with common interests together online… and today is the day we get to demonstrate how.
What’s all this green stuff?
This weekend, at Barcamp Brighton3, we’re giving Brighton’s best New Media pros some special treats, in the form of Dharmafly Crunchies; little boxes of spirulina (it’s like a tiny green seaweed), known for being a potent superfood.
The fancy boxes were designed along with the brilliant minds of John Cooper (Kapow.me) and Ellen de Vries.
We’re hoping that spirulina’s special powers will entice these social media buffs to go online and post tweets, blogs, photos and videos of themselves ‘doing stuff’ with their Dharmafly Crunchies.
What’s happening on Planet Crunchy right now? Take a look.

Jay Chou returns to cinema with his fascination for racing cars
A scene from Nezha. [Photo provided to China Daily]
Megastar Jay Chou's latest cinematic outing, marking his first time to be cast with his wife, Hannah Quinlivan, will open across domestic theaters on Friday.
The film's English title is Nezha, referring to a fictional deity who has spawned many literature works as well as showbiz products. Depicted as a young boy burning the candle at both ends, Nezha is in some tense deemed a cultural symbol of a rebellious and wild spirit.
Interestingly, the film itself has nothing literally related to the ancient figure. Centering on three young racers, the tale set in contemporary China and follows their growth in facing up to obstacles and pursing honor on the tracks.
Directed by Chen Yi-xian, the film also stars Tsao Yu-ning, Van Fan, and Alan Kuo. Chou and pop idol Wang Junkai show up in the film in cameo appearances.
With a budget reportedly up to more than 400 million yuan ($61.8 million), the film used some expensive racing cars for the action sequences, accounting for about 80 percent of the entire content.
A diehard fan of car racing, Jay starred in renowned director Andrew Lau's popular street racing film, Initial D, which was Hong Kong's 2005 box office champion.

The 5th member of our family, the red canoe, has been around as long as I have. Oddly enough, it has never seen the water and was sold shortly after theMoving series was taken, along with the family home. This particular image was shot in a shopping mall parking lot close to our family home. The mall has since been demolished and is now a bunch of condos. Both my sister and I spent a lot of time there over the years. On shoot day, my Dad was on lighting and grip and my Mum correlated film. The canoe was shot on location supported by scaffolding.

Review: ‘Theresa Is a Mother”
Directed by C. Fraser Press and Darren Press
Written by C. Fraser Press
Starring C. Fraser Press, Schuyler Press, Maeve Press, Amaya Press, Edie McClurg, Richard Poe, Robert Turano, Matthew Gumley
‘Theresa Is a Mother’ Plays as part of the Chain NYC Film Festival at The Chain Theatre, Long Island City on 8/14 @ 7pm & 8/17 @ 5pm
Single motherhood is an exercise in chaos — especially when you have a lot of growing up to do yourself. Such is the driving theme of the new comedy ‘Theresa Is a Mother.’ It is a family-centric film in more ways than one: Writer and lead actress C. Fraser Press co-directed the film with her husband Darren Press, and their three daughters also co-star. The result of this clan collaboration is a funny and moving portrait of a flawed but well-meaning parent trying to better herself and, as best she can, control the familial pandemonium around her.
Theresa, a forty-something aspiring musician with more heart than talent, has no money or partner. Facing eviction, she moves with her three young daughters – Maggie (Schuyler Press), Tuesday (Maeve Press), and Penelope (Amaya Press) – into her parents’ middle-of-nowhere rural house for the summer, hoping she will figure out what to do with her life.
From her financial failings to her inability to corral her kids, Theresa has some deep flaws as a mom. Press effectively portrays Theresa as a neurotic, well-meaning screw-up trying like hell to bond more with her kids — and to set a better example for them. “Parents are idiots,” Theresa concludes at one point. But as she repeatedly makes clear, that does not prevent them from caring, or trying to do better.
To its great advantage, “Theresa” emphasizes humor, character dynamics, and unfolding layers of emotion ahead of plot. Many of its scenes play out long after the plot beats have been conveyed. Humor and character interactions are allowed room to grow and breathe, amping up until scenes hit heights of supreme ridiculousness. In one scene, an out-of-sorts Theresa wanders around the perimeter of her car after being pulled over, stretching out the scene length as a police officer yells at her to get back in. She finally does, but not before getting her foot stuck in an abandoned guitar.
The film also teems with bizarre running jokes – for instance, a recurring TV cooking show starring clerically garbed African American TV chefs who sing food-themed gospel music while preparing dishes such as the “Holy Trinity three bean salad.” On the surface, some of these scenes do not seem to advance plot or character development. But they add to the film’s themes of searching for control in a world where things are anything but neat, easy or logical.
The three Press children bring impressive performances to the proceedings – especially the eldest, Schuyler, whose Maggie emanates a magnetic, odd-duck intelligence. She is obsessed with old showtunes and wears strange costumes to school, causing other kids to laugh and whisper. Much of the time, she seems off in her own head. She is somehow a child and an old soul all at once. It is a nuanced performance, and a promising film debut.
Indeed, none of the film’s characters are clichéd types. Take Jerry (Robert Turano), a seemingly uptight bank official who denies Theresa a job. Later, Jerry confronts Theresa when he thinks that Maggie has been stealing yard work jobs from his thirteen-year-old son, Seth (Matthew Gumley), by accepting lower wages. (In reality, it was Theresa herself who was stealing the work. Naturally, she does not correct him.) Just as the scene seems poised for a tense confrontation, Jerry expresses a grudging respect for “Maggie’s” ruthless capitalism, and amiably suggests that Seth and Maggie work as a team in the future. He even asks Theresa to write a song for Seth to sing at his upcoming Bar Mitzvah. The film’s characters rarely behave as expected, lending them three-dimensionality.
While it may be an old theme, “Theresa” articulately illustrates how the flaws of parents seep into the DNA of their children. Cloris (Edie McClurg) and Roy (Richard Poe) are alternately upbeat, distant, and despondent. (Much of the latter two, we learn, has to do with a past family tragedy.) And yet they clearly love their daughter, and do their meager best to show it. Their behavior and emotions explain a lot about Theresa, from her lack of self-confidence to her parental warmth. On the surface, “Theresa Is a Mother” is loose, light, and funny. But the film possesses impressive psychological depth, probing Theresa’s neuroses and their roots.
“Theresa’s” use of music is very effective. The film shuttles between a soundtrack of abrasive rock music and a soft acoustic guitar-driven score, alternately evoking overwhelming discord and a searching melancholy.
Unfortunately, Alex Kornreich’s photography tends to be sluggish, mostly consisting of static shots. While editor Chad Smith wisely avoids an overabundance of cutting, choosing instead to let long scenes play out uninterrupted, the film still might have benefited from a livelier camera. But it is a small complaint.
In “Theresa Is a Mother,” we witness two generations of children trying to take care of yet more children, and a mother trying as best she can to break the cycle and become an adult. The film could have been a shallow comedy about wacky family dynamics. Instead it is an insightful story about how parents, through all their failings and best efforts, shape their kids.

Cities for Palestine, US Campaign for Palestinian Rights and Others, June 6, 2018
This week, Palestinians in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip are marking the 51st year of the brutal Israeli military occupation. As the resistance to Israel’s oppression continues across Palestine, we have a responsibility to keep pushing to end the US policies that have allowed Israel to act with such impunity for so long.
Today we are launching a new website, Cities for Palestine, to encourage people to focus on opportunities to organize for Palestinian rights in our cities, towns, counties, and states that will build our collective power upwards to impact policy.
Municipal campaigns focus on engaging directly with local policy makers, building capacity and activating the power of everyday people. This work will reverberate to help move decision-makers at local, state, and federal levels. Ultimately, we move closer and closer to changing the US policies that enable Israel’s denial of Palestinian rights.
Why the municipal campaigns approach? Because we know it works. From the South African anti-apartheid movement to environmental justice campaigns that focus on divestment from fossil fuels to prison abolition, municipal campaigns are a tried-and-true strategy that prove the effectiveness of organizing locally to impact national and global causes.
citiesforpalestine.org lays out eight ideas to help you start thinking about what campaign would work for your community. These ideas are intended to be implemented as part of an overall commitment by communities to invest in freedom while divesting from injustice. That means understanding the connections between local demands related to the Palestinian struggle for freedom, justice, and equality and the demands of Black, brown, and Indigenous communities.
You will also find on the website a toolkit to help you with implementing a municipal campaign in your community. It has all the nuts and bolts of planning and carrying out a municipal campaign, like tips about research, coalition building, and engaging with elected officials.
Finally, we hope you will be inspired by this list of past successful municipal campaigns across the country. These wins have been vital to strengthening the global struggle for Palestinian rights. We’re proud to continue working with partners across the country to invest even more time and resources into empowering you to do this type of local work.
WHAT’S THE CAMPAIGN ABOUT?
Invest in justice by building genuine connections between US and Palestinian cities, towns, villages, or refugee camps through a sister city relationship. Sister Cities promote ties between community members in both places to learn about each other’s lives and work together on projects to support one another.
Sister Cities have transformed US city officials’ and other residents’ understanding of what is happening in Palestine through personal and official connections with Palestinians living under Israeli apartheid. Sister Cities also open the door to delegations to Palestine, including by city officials.
Current official and unofficial sister cities between the US and Palestine include:
• Boulder-Nablus
• Sacramento-Bethlehem
• Muscatine-Ramallah
• Olympia-Rafah
• Madison-Rafah
Establish a sister city relationship between your city and a city, town, village, or refugee camp in Palestine. Maintain and grow that relationship in the years to come.
MUSCATINE-RAMALLAH
In Muscatine, IA, residents with relationships in Ramallah, including Palestinians, led a sister city campaign. Despite being met with tremendous opposition, the campaign succeeded in 2011 thanks to long-term relationship building with city council members and the mayor. The sister city project has focused on projects connecting Muscatine and Ramallah middle school students through art and social media, and has allowed Muscatine residents to gain awareness of what life is like for Palestinians in occupied Ramallah. There have been multiple Muscatine to Ramallah delegations, and there is an delegation being planned for city officials.
BOULDER-NABLUS
The Boulder-Nablus Sister City Project began as a campaign led by Boulder residents inspired by personal relationships with Nablus residents. Their first attempt in 2013 was so controversial that Palestine dominated local news headlines for weeks, capturing the attention of the entire city – the city’s livestream of the hearing was so widely watched that it crashed! The campaign was massively effective at reaching folks who don’t consider themselves political but care about people-to-people connections and cultural exchange. An official sister city relationship was passed in 2016.

Overview of the study program
Home Learning Overview of the study program
In the following you will find selected examples which reflect the character of the study program for volunteers. Altogether it includes about 180 events per year.
I. Learning from Jews: In responsibility for the past
Kristallnacht Commemoration (preparation and realization)
Holocaust study days in Museum Lochamei HaGetaot and its Center for Humanistic Education
Participation in a Yom HaShoah Commemoration
Encounter with Shoah Survivors of the first and second generation
Study day in Yad VaShem
The Holocaust study day
The creation of a fresh start in the relations between Jews and Christians – as well as between Israelis and Europeans – was one of the first aims of the founders of Nes Ammim. Only 2 km from Nes Ammim is kibbutz Lochamei HaGetaot. The survivors who had fought against German soldiers in the Warsaw ghetto founded it and established the world’s first Holocaust museum. There the volunteers get new access to history. The educational concept avoids too much theoretical reviewing of historical material, but prefers to tell personal stories. Face-to-face meetings with Holocaust survivors and other contemporary witnesses are one important element. In the Center for Humanistic Education participants have the unique opportunity to learn about the contemporary reception of the Holocaust and its importance for the local dialogue of Jewish and Arab Israelis.
II. Learning from Jews: Jewish religion and culture
Introduction to a synagogue service including visit of a reform synagogue at Kabbalat Shabbat
Erev Shabbat Ceremony
Beit Midrash Weekends (study of the Torah and Talmud)
Encounter with members of different Jewish groups
Kibbutz life
Folk dance class and visiting public dance events
Hebrew Language Course
Learning by experiencing Jewish feasts
Lectures on Israeli Culture
Avner Shai, a son of Holocaust survivors and a reserve officer in the Israeli army, is an authentic and competent lecturer. When he speaks about the Israeli army, he brings with him a soldier and a mother who lost her son on the battlefield. He speaks also about the connection between the Hebrew language and Hebrew culture, about Jewish immigration, the modern Reform Judaism, about the period between the Second World War and the establishment of Israel. Once a year Avner takes the volunteers to Tel Aviv and shows them his birth city in his own inimitable way.
III. Israel – experience in the country
Excursions to places of interest in the Galilee (Jewish, Arabic, Muslim, Christian, Druze, general)
Negev seminar
Day trips to Tel Aviv, Nazareth, Lake Kinneret, Golan Heights, Haifa
Lectures, for example about young Palestinian Arabs with Israeli citizenship, the experience of Aliya (immigration to Israel), the connection between language, culture and conflict
Hiking tours in the Galilee
Visiting Archeological Sites (such as Meggido, Beit Shean or Caesarea)
Picking apples in the Golan heights with a Syrian Arab Druze family and learn about their daily life
The Negev seminar
For three days, the volunteers go to the Negev desert. They sleep under the open sky, walk in dry riverbeds and through weird rock formations, they cook and eat together outdoor under the stars. The Negev is for most of the volunteers their first contact with the ancient wild culture of the Nabataeans and also with the contemporary Bedouins’ culture. During these three days, the Nes Ammim volunteers get to know both themselves and the desert better. Besides all these new, adventurous impressions, those three days benefit the social cooperation.
Impressions of the Negev seminar, taken by Ralf Braun, Melanie Müller and Matthias Holtmann of the German TV channel SWR:
IV. Engagement: Palestinian and European Christian Dialogue
Encounter with Christians of different churches (Baptists, Greek-Orthodox, Greek-Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran)
Visiting Nazareth Bible College and Israeli Arab Bible Society
Lectures (e.g. about Palestinian Christians, Theology of Land, the “Kairos” document)
Attending local church services (especially at Christmas and Easter)
Day trip to Palm Sunday Procession in Jerusalem
Palestinian-European Conferences
Ecumenical or Christian-Jewish Conferences
We join ecumenical or Christian-Jewish conferences in Jerusalem or Bethlehem and we host these conferences in Nes Ammim. The ecumenical dialogue between Palestinian and European Christians shows their different context. The connotations of the word “Israel” in the bible for example are different in Palestine and in Europe. Learning from Jews as victims is easier than as perpetrators. A special challenge is the “trialogue” between Jews, Palestinian and European Christians. Sometimes the participants are surprised by the unexpected agreements (even regarding the political situation).
V. Engagement: Interfaith Dialogue
Visiting a mosque with explanations
Lectures about amongst others Jesus in the Islam, religion and politics in Islam, Ramadan
Druze religion and tradition
Excursion to the Bahai Gardens, Introduction in Bahai religion
Jerusalem Seminar
The Jerusalem seminar
Under the motto “Town of Three Religions and Two People” this seminar discloses the Jewish, Muslim and Christian world in a city which has been sought after and hotly contested for hundreds of years. The participants face a Jerusalem that presents itself as an alluring and confusing city, crowded by people, religions, cultures and with a long, long history. The volunteers get the opportunity to look into the religions’ “backyards”. These three seminar days in Jerusalem open the eyes to the beauties – and complexity of – the Palestinian Eastern and the Israeli Western side of this town.
VI. Engagement: Political Dialogue
Introduction into the middle east conflict, specially the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (lectures)
Visiting destroyed Palestinian villages
Visiting memorials for Jewish victims
commemoration for Israeli soldiers (including two former Nes Ammim volunteers)
Participation in a Palestinian-Israeli Nakba/Yom HaAtzmaut Commemoration
The role of the army in the Israeli society (lecture and discussion with young soldiers)
West Bank seminar
Day trips to the West Bank with several Israeli groups (Rabbis for Human Rights, MachsomWatch, Combatants for Peace, Breaking the Silence)
Tour along the Separation/Security Fence with Givat Haviva
The West Bank seminar
During the West Bank seminar the volunteers get the opportunity to stay overnight in Palestinian (Muslim and Christian) families. While traveling they see how the local population experiences the separation fence and the checkpoints. Talks with students and volunteers, with Palestinian refugees, with Jewish settlers, with a mayor, a farmer and a diplomat of one of the Representative Offices in Ramallah give various impressions of life and of the political situation in the West Bank.
Experience different feasts
Programs for study groups and traveler groups
Educational tourism
Study visit for theologians
Partner organizations and friends

NMR advance relies on microscopic detector
Detecting the molecular structure of a tiny protein using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) currently requires two things: a million-dollar machine the size of a massive SUV, and a large sample of the protein under study.
Now, researchers from MITs Center for Bits and Atoms report the development of a radically different approach to NMR. The new highly sensitive technique, which makes use of a microscopic detector, decreases by several orders of magnitude the amount of protein needed to measure molecular structure.
The new technology could ultimately lead to the proliferation of tabletop NMR devices in every research laboratory and medical office. Among other things, such devices could prove invaluable in diagnosing a variety of diseases.
"Its revolutionary," said Shuguang Zhang, one of the authors and associate director of MITs Center for Biological Engineering. "Its not just incremental progress."
The research team reports the work in the online and print editions of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences the week of May 14. Lead author Yael Maguire, a former MIT graduate student who earned his Ph.D. for this work, will give a talk on it May 16 at the VII European Protein Symposium in Stockholm.
NMR, along with X-ray crystallography, is commonly used to determine the structure of proteins and other molecules. NMR probes normally consist of a coil that surrounds the sample being studied. The coil creates a magnetic field that interacts with the nuclear spin of atoms in the sample, and those interactions reveal how the atoms are connected.
With current NMR machines, you need about 1017 (more than a million billion) molecules of a protein to determine its molecular structure. Some researchers have tried to make tiny coils to study smaller samples, but it has proven very difficult to scale these to small sizes to analyze tiny samples and to create high throughput methods.

mikaellundin 30 December, 13:21 Completed the game
This is a city builder/simulator very much like the old Sim City I played on the Amiga 30 years ago. Come to think of it I really haven’t played a city building game since then, until now.
I’m always wary of games that start out as PC games and then get ported to console. The worst kind gives you a simulated mouse pointer, and more than often the text is so small on the screen you have to squint in order to read it on a TV.
This is not the case with Cities: Skylines. Even if I haven’t played it before on the PC I dare to say that the PlayStation port is very good. It is easy to get an overview and at the same time it is easy to zoom in on the details.
The game starts you off with building a small community of 3000 people. You build roads, water pipelines, electric grid and community services like police, fire department. Quite soon you unlock more buildings. You create bus lines, subway, expand into new areas. You build industries and start importing goods from other cities by railroad and harbors.
This is all very fun. You get goals to achieve and unlock new buildings that change the mechanics of the game. The parts of your city you built at the beginning soon gets obsolete as you get new tools and more people. Roads get clogged with traffic, people die in epidemic outbursts and everyone complains about the noise from your streets.
This is a lot of fun and I find myself thinking about the game when I’m not playing it. That is always a good sign. However when you reach a city of 100 000 people something happens. The game kind of ends. All buildings are unlocked (sort of) and there are no more goals to fulfill. Now you’re just supposed to build and be happy. I do not respond very well to that. I find the whole venture pointless. Without a clear goal I loose interest, so I setup my own goals. When you reach 100 000 people you unlock Monuments. I decided to build one of the monuments and call it a quits.
I ended up building two monuments and got a population of 200 000. I’m quite happy with that but in the end it felt more like a job than a game.
All and all I had very fun with this game until I got to endgame where there weren’t enough content. The simulation and building engine is very good and it works well on the console. I guess they want you to buy DLCs to provide more content for endgame but I’m not going to do that. Finish your damn game and don’t make me buy DLC to get a complete experience.

Press Statement: Al Mezan denounces Israeli court order to deport HRW country director
Short Link : http://mezan.org/en/post/23508 Ref# 02/2019
On 16 April 2019, an Israeli court upheld an order to cancel the work visa of Mr. Omar Shakir, the Human Rights Watch (HRW) director for Israel and Palestine, and deport him. The court based its decision on an Israeli law from 2017 that bars entry to Israel of people who advocate for so-called boycotts of Israel or Israeli settlements. The court found that Mr. Shakir promoted such boycotts by sharing HRW’s research and reporting that calls on businesses to refrain from economic activities in the unlawful Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. HRW has announced its intention to appeal the court ruling before the Israeli High Court of Justice.
Al Mezan Center for Human Rights denounces the court’s decision, which reflects a serious escalation in Israel’s legislative and judicial harassment of human rights defenders who use peaceful means, such as authentic research and advocacy, to promote respect for human rights. This decision also reflects a serious development regarding the differentiation between Israel and Israeli unlawful settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory in clear defiance of international law. The news of the court’s decision is contextualized by the overall increasing pressure on independent human rights defenders working in Israel and Palestine and the continued entrenchment of the unlawful settlement and annexation policies.
Mr Issam Younis, director of Al Mezan, said that, “Al Mezan expresses solidarity with HRW and Mr. Shakir, and calls on the international community to take effective action to protect human rights defenders and ensure their safety and their ability to conduct their peaceful work, including Mr. Shakir.”

We report the demonstration of the first silicon Raman laser. Experimentally, pulsed Raman laser emission at 1675 nm with 25 MHz repetition rate is demonstrated using a silicon waveguide as the gain medium. The laser has a clear threshold at 9 W peak pump pulse power and a slope efficiency of 8.5%.

The need for low cost photonic devices has stimulated a significant amount of research in silicon photonics [1–2]. While a wide variety of passive devices were developed in the 1990’s [3], recent activities have focused on achieving active functionality, mostly light amplification and generation, in silicon waveguides [–2]. One approach that has been investigated for light generation and amplification is the Raman effect [4–6]. This approach relies on the fact that the Raman gain coefficient in silicon is rather strong (104 times higher than in fiber), making it possible to achieve gain over the length scales of an integrated waveguide [4].
Obtaining net Raman gain in silicon is challenging due to the losses induced by free carriers that are generated by the Two Photon Absorption (TPA) process in silicon [7–8]. One method for diminishing these losses is to reduce the free carrier lifetime through lateral scaling of waveguide modal area [8–10]. Another approach for reducing free carrier losses is to use pulsed pumping. To the extent that the pulse width is much less than the carrier lifetime and the pulse period is much larger than the lifetime, free carrier generation becomes negligible making it possible to obtain net gain [11–14]. Using this technique fiber-to-fiber net gain of 11 dB has recently been reported [13].
In this paper, we report the demonstration of a Raman laser in silicon. The laser consists of a silicon gain medium incorporated in a fiber loop cavity. It is pumped with 30 ps wide pump pulses at a 25 MHz repetition rate and is centered at 1540 nm. The laser produces output pulses at the Stokes wavelength of 1675 nm. A clear lasing threshold is observed at 9 W peak pulse power along with a slope efficiency of 8.5% above threshold. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first ever demonstration of a silicon laser.
A modelocked fiber laser operating around 1540 nm with a 25 MHz repetition rate is used as a pulsed pump laser. In the present experiment, to prevent excessive spectral broadening and the pulse distortion in the EDFA and in the fiber patchcords, the pulses are broadened to 30 ps in a spool of fiber before amplification to the desired peak power. A tapered Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) rib waveguide with approximately 2 cm in length, and a total insertion loss (coupling plus propagation) of 0.8 dB, is used as a gain medium. We first characterize the Raman gain in the silicon waveguide, using a CW laser at 1675 nm (Stokes wavelength) as the probe signal. Gain is measured by observing the enhancement of the probe signal in the presence of the pump pulse. The results, shown in Fig. 1, indicate that the silicon waveguide provides up to 9 dB of on-off gain at 25 W of peak pump power.
Fig. 1. Measured on-off gain in the silicon waveguide for a probe signal at 1675 nm. Pumping was done at 1540 nm with 30 ps pulses.
The setup for demonstration of the silicon Raman laser is shown in Fig. 2. In this case, no probe signal is used. Pump pulses are coupled into the laser cavity by using a Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM) coupler [13]. The laser cavity is formed using a fiber ring configuration. Following the silicon waveguide a tap coupler with 5 to 95% splitting ratio is used to extract 5% of the power as the output. The 95% output of the tap coupler is looped back into the WDM coupler to form the ring cavity. Residual pump power is blocked by the WDM coupler. By measuring the propagation time of the modulated 1675 nm CW laser the cavity round trip time is measured and the cavity length (~ 8 m) is adjusted such that the cavity roundtrip time will match the pump pulse period of 40 ns. Two Polarization Controllers (PC) are inserted on the pump arm and in the cavity to adjust the relative polarizations of the pump and the laser. The pump polarization is set to TE polarization to obtain maximum coupling. The polarization state of the stokes is adjusted for maximum output power. The total cavity loss, including the silicon waveguide, measured at the Stokes wavelength (1675 nm) is measured to be 3.7 dB. A second WDM is used at the laser output to separate the pump and signal wavelengths. The temporal characteristics of the laser are measured by a 40 GHz sampling oscilloscope, and separately with an autocorrelator. An Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) is used to measure the spectrum.
Fig. 2. Experimental set up used for silicon Raman laser demonstration. A ring cavity configuration is used as a resonator. A modelocked fiber laser at 1540nm is used as a pump laser. The lasing is obtained at the Stokes wavelength of 1675 nm.
Fig. 3. Measured laser output power with respect to peak pump power. Lasing threshold is measured to be at 9 W peak power level. The slope efficiency is ~8.5%.
The measured laser output power variation with respect to pump peak power is illustrated in Fig. 3. The peak pump power is varied from 0 to 25 W to characterize the lasing behavior and to determine the lasing threshold. Lasing, characterized by a sudden increase in emission at the Stokes wavelength of 1675nm, is obtained when the pump peak power level reaches 9 W. The threshold should occur when the waveguide gain compensates for the cavity loss. The threshold power of 9 W is consistent with the measured cavity loss of 3.7 dB and the measured Raman gain of ~3.9 dB at 9 W pump power (Fig. 1). After exceeding the threshold level the output increases almost linearly with the pump power. The slope efficiency, which is described by the ratio of the output peak power and the input peak pump power, is 8.5%.
Figure 4 presents the measured laser spectrum (4a) and that of the pump (4b). The spectral peak of the silicon Raman laser is at 1675 nm, which is precisely the expected location based on the optical phonon frequency (15.6 THz) in silicon [4, 15–16]. The 3 dB bandwidth of the laser is measured to be 0.36 nm (~38.5 GHz). The pump laser, on the other hand, is centered at 1540 nm with a 3 dB bandwidth of 0.7 nm (~88.5 GHz). [4, 15–16]. The narrower laser bandwidth can be explained by the gain narrowing, a well known behavior in lasers [17]. The spectral features and the asymmetric structure of the laser spectrum are similar to the spectral features of the pump laser shown in Fig. 4(b). Raman scattering is a resonant phenomenon with an intrinsic bandwidth (FWHM) of ~100 GHz [4, 15–16]. Figure 5(a) shows the measured temporal profile of the laser output, at the Stokes wavelength of 1675 nm, measured using an autocorrelator. The pulse width at FWHM in this measurement is 25 ps. The actual pulse width is calculated to be 17.7 ps based on the Gaussian approximation. By using the measured 0.36nm spectral bandwidth, the time bandwidth broaduct (∆τ.∆v) of the laser is calculated to be 0.68 and it is not transform limited. This conclusion will not materially change if we assume Sech pulse shapes. The walkoff between pump and the laser in the gain medium and complex spectral shape of the pump laser are belived to be main reasons for non-transform limited pulses. Figure 5(b) shows the output pulse train at 25 MHz, measured using the 40 GHz oscilloscope. The small features 4.2 ns after the pulses are caused by the ringing in the photodetector circuitry.

Fig. 5. Measured temporal profile of the laser output. (a) 25 ps pulse trace obtained by an autocorrelator at 1675 nm. (b) Oscilloscope trace shows 25 MHz pulse train at 1675 nm.
A comment must be made regarding the role of the Raman interaction in the fiber that constitutes the laser cavity. The Raman effect in fibers has a broadband gain spectrum (> 10 THz) with a primary peak located at 13.2 THz down shifted from the pump, and a secondary peak at 14.7 THz. These correspond to wavelengths of 1652 nm and 1666 nm for our pump wavelength of 1540 nm. In contrast, the peak of the narrow gain spectrum of silicon, and the observed emission (Fig. 4(a)) lies at 1675 nm. At this point in the gain spectrum of fiber, the gain coefficient is reduced to approximately 30% of its peak value. Furthermore, the measured peak gain coefficient in fiber is 1×10-13 m/W for 1 μm pump wavelength [18]. Assuming a linear dependence on pump wavelength [18] and using the known gain spectrum of fiber [18] we obtain a peak gain coefficient of gR = 0.7×10-13 m/W at 14.7 THz away from the pump wavelength of 1540 nm. With the known effective area of 80 μm2 for single mode fiber, the total gain in the fiber for 10 W pump power is calculated to be the 0.31 dB. This gain will be far less than the cavity loss of 3.7 dB and hence insufficient to cause lasing [18]. When considering that the observed peak emission occurs 15.6 THz away, the Raman gain coefficient in fiber would be 0.3×10-13 m/W corresponding to a total gain of 0.13 dB [18].
In this paper, we have reported the first demonstration of a silicon Raman laser. Pulsed operation is necessary in order to avoid accumulation of free carriers that are generated due to TPA. The results show that free carrier induced limitations can be solved by using pulsed pumping. On the other hand using pulsed pumping scheme will add constraints to the practically of the device due to high cost of pump lasers. Under CW operation, the free carrier losses can significantly reduce the net Raman gain and hence prevent lasing. The steady state carrier density depends on the lifetime in the waveguide, which diminishes upon reduction in waveguide cross section [8–10]. This trend bodes well for the prospects for a CW silicon Raman laser. Additionally, carrier sweep out using a p-n junction can be useful [7]. Recently, high quality silicon micro disk resonators have been reported by us and others [19–20]. This technology can form the basis for a fully integrated silicon Raman laser. A silicon Raman laser can be a valuable tool for extending the wavelength range of III–V injection lasers to longer wavelengths that are important for sensing applications.
