TSFR working team
MarinTrust officially congratulates the Gulf of Thailand mixed-trawl fishery as the first project.
The Gulf of Thailand mixed-trawl Fishery Improvement Project (FIP) fishery has been accepted onto the MarinTrust Improver Programme (IP) on Thursday, November 5th, 2020.
The Gulf of Thailand mixed-trawl Fishery Improvement Project (FIP) fishery has been accepted onto the MarinTrust Improver Programme (IP).
It is the first FIP accepted onto the IP as part of the multispecies pilot project and is led by the Thailand Sustainable Fisheries Roundtable (TSFR). This key advancement will facilitate improvement, allow for the testing of criteria in complex multispecies fisheries and enable producers of marine ingredients to demonstrate their commitment towards responsibly sourced raw materials.
As demand grows, there is a need to work with fisheries that are more complex and to support them on an improvement journey, and the multispecies criteria being piloted in this project will provide a framework to measure progress on this journey. The objective of the multispecies criteria is to enable the assessment of highly complex fisheries in which sometimes hundreds of species are regularly caught. The criteria have been developed by experts and are based on “best practice” fisheries management as specified in international norms and guidance including the 1982 Convention of the law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) as captured in the 1995 Food and Agriculture Organisation of the UN (FAO) Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF), with additional input from the 2006 regionalisation of the code for Southeast Asia (Regional CCRF). The pilot project will enable MarinTrust to test the methodology in active fisheries so it can be refined and ultimately develop a fully robust and realistic set of criteria to eventually include within the full MarinTrust fishery assessment.
Vorapong Iamtrakul, FIP Coordinator for the Thai Sustainable Fishery Round Table (TSFR), explained:
“Marine ingredients are important to the seafood and aquaculture supply chain in Thailand. We are delighted that the Gulf of Thailand mixed-trawl Fishery Improvement Project (FIP) is taken one step further. This progress reaffirms our real intention to promote responsible fisheries in Thai seas. Since 2014, we have made every effort to ensure responsible sources of marine ingredients, including seeking for the standard we can use as a benchmark. This was very challenging since there was no standard that can apply to complex multi-species fisheries, like Thailand and other countries in Southeast Asia at that time. We have been fortunate enough to be collaborating with MarinTrust since 2016, when our journey started.
On behalf of the TSFR, we are so thankful to MarinTrust for their continual support and consultation, Agricultural Research Development Agency (ARDA) as a main funder for the FIP development stage, and last but not least the Department of Fisheries (Thailand), who provided essential information and concerted effort all along. We believe that our FIP, especially in its implementation phase, will provide useful information for the development of multispecies assessment criteria as well as a clearer picture on multispecies fisheries management, by considering its adequacy, suitability and practicality.”
Dan Lee, Chair of the Multispecies Pilot Steering Group, said:
“This recognition is highly significant. TSFR, supply chain actors and MarinTrust are showing real commitment to responsible sourcing in a very complex fishery. Bravo!”

Steve Bannon Beats the Drum Against Undocumented Immigrants in Tucson Appearance
Posted By Danyelle Khmara on Sun, Nov 19, 2017 at 10:41 AM
Ralph Terry was shocked when he heard there would be protests over Steve Bannon being the keynote speaker and award recipient at the Brian Terry Foundation annual award dinner.
The Foundation chose Steve Bannon as keynote speaker and recipient of the Brian Terry Courage in Journalism and Reporting Award because of Breitbart’s reporting on “Operation Fast and Furious,” a botched U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms gunrunning investigation into the movement of guns to Mexican drug cartels during which U.S. officials lost track of the guns.
Brian Terry was a Border Patrol agent who was shot in 2010 while looking for members of a suspected drug cartel. A semi-automatic rifle recovered at the scene was tracked back to a gun lost during the Fast and Furious investigation.
The Foundation is not a political group, said Ralph, the foundation’s president and Brian’s uncle. He hadn’t thought about Bannon being called a white nationalist, but that he was “a key player in President Trump’s election,” Ralph said during an interview with the Tucson Weekly.
“It’s unfortunate when any group has to start putting labels on people—‘white nationalist,’ ‘Black Lives Matter.’ We all matter,” he said.
The Foundation raises money for the families of Border Patrol agents killed on duty and toward scholarships for people pursuing careers in law enforcement or criminal justice. It has awarded 40 scholarships, and Ralph says he hears from people that it changed their lives.
The Terry family had a hard time finding closure after Brian’s murder because the government was not forthcoming with information, Ralph said.
“Mr. Bannon kept right on top of that for us and kept it in the public eye, and we appreciate that,” he said. “To smear the Foundation because they may or may not agree with that person’s politics is below the line that I want to go.”
At the Starr Pass Marriott resort last night, there were a few protesters holding signs calling Bannon a Nazi, but shuttles whisked guests of the foundation right past them with little disturbance.
It took the family 18 months to get information about what happened to Brian, said former Congressman Ron Barber, who spoke at the Foundation’s first luncheon and presented a Congressional Badge of Bravery to the family. Barber said the Foundation does great work, but the choice to give Bannon an award is another matter.
“I do not support that Steve Bannon should receive an award or be at the event,” he said. “I, personally, would think he doesn’t deserve an award of any kind.”
He said Bannon is an “advocate of white nationalism” and a “symbol of divisiveness, bigotry and hate,” and inviting him takes away from the Foundation’s work and could cast a shadow over Brian’s memory.
At the event, speakers presented a video and slideshow about Brian’s life, mainly about his work with Border Patrol. Fox News reporter William La Jeunesse talked about the job being a thankless one that secures the nation’s freedom. And Kelli Ward, a former Republican state lawmaker who is now running for Sen. Jeff Flake’s seat, introduced Bannon at the end of the evening.
“If you listen to the mainstream media, you might get the wrong idea about Steve,” she said. “Steve is one of the few people in this world who could actually steal the title from the guy in the Dos Equis commercial as the most interesting man in the world.”
Although Ralph Terry says the group is not political, the evening certainly was. When Ward listed Bannon’s accomplishments, she mentioned Breitbart (the alt-right news outlet where Bannon is executive chairman) as being a “platform that challenged the liberal-dominated mainstream media.”
“Steve has an innate sense of what the grassroots voters want and need,” she said, referring to Bannon as “hand of the king.” (Trump’s the king in this Game of Thrones scenario).
She reminded the crowd that Bannon advised Trump to pull out of the Paris climate accords (to loud applause), renegotiate “new and better” trade deals and “investigating 'Chiiiiina' over intellectual property values.” She pronounced China with a mocking drawl, perhaps meant to imitate Trump’s pronunciation of the word.
“Back at Breitbart, Steve is continuing to lead the charge against the Republican establishment, the obstructionist Democrats and the special-interest power brokers in Washington,” she said. “People don’t like that, but I like it.”
The crowd went wild. And when Bannon entered the stage, it was to a standing ovation. The central thrust of Bannon’s speech was that Trump was elected because of his stance on illegal immigration, which Bannon called the biggest issue facing the United States.
“In 2016, Donald Trump cut through the entire best generation of politicians we’d ever seen,” Bannon said about Trump’s primary campaign. “He cut through them like a scythe through grass.”
And the issue that sharpened his scythe, according to Bannon, was the promise of a wall. And Bannon told the crowd last night that he has pushed Trump to keep the momentum focused on “stopping mass illegal immigration and addressing the issue of legal immigration to get our sovereignty back."
Bannon went on to read a list he called Trump’s 10-point plan: build a “great wall”—an “impenetrable barrier”—on the southern border; end catch and release; allow “zero tolerance for criminal aliens—we will deport them all”; end sanctuary cities; end DACA; suspend visas from countries with no screening; “force countries to take their people back when visas run out”; and a biometric visa systems. The room applauded some more.
Bannon told Trump that if he focused on the 10-point plan during his campaign, he would have “100 percent metaphysical certitude” of winning.
Toward the end of Bannon’s speech, he turned to the investigation into collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
“President Trump needs your backing now more than ever,” he said. “This nullification project that’s underway, this nullification project that’s trying to take away the 2016 victory from the American people and the Trump supporters, has to be stopped, as much for the people outside protesting tonight. Because if we allow any one sector of our country to nullify a presidential election, we’ll be doing this back and forth for the foreseeable future.”

Artist Bonnie Maygarden presents ‘Desert of the Real’
Jun 09, 2014 • Artists
It is the generation by models of a real without origin or reality: a hyperreal.
– Jean Baudrillard
Bonnie Maygarden’s canvases look like they’ve come right out of the digital printer, but in fact are all meticulous hand-painted abstract representations. As a recent gradate of Tulane’s MFA in studio art, Maygarden earned her bachelor’s degree at Pratt Institute in New York, and was classically trained in photorealism before extending this technique to mimic “reality” in less traditional ways.
In her current show, “Desert of the Real,” at the Jonathan Ferrara Gallery, she presents a stunning abstract collection that plays on themes of technological reproduction, but could just as easily be inspired by the natural world of draping fabric, water surface, and crumpled paper from everyday life.
“I was interested in photorealism, but other photorealist painters didn’t really appeal to me,” Maygarden explains. She focused her training into creating abstract illusions, playing and experimenting with vibrant neon, synthetic-looking color to mimic and mock the computer screen we all spend so much of our day on.
“This existence we have [online] is almost more real to us than our day to day lives,” she says. “In terms of fine art, I’m always thinking about how our experience of images on the internet is very different from experiencing reality. I wanted to take that idea and try to replicate the glow of the screen, the colors.”
Since we experience many things in life online nowadays — social interactions, virtual tours, research and news-gathering — it’s vital to underscore our awareness that this “reality” has been enhanced and modified by other humans, just as paintings have always been perceptually altered versions of reality.
The title of Maygarden’s show, Desert of the Real, refers to a quote by French theorist Jean Baudrillard, who is a conceptual inspiration for the artist.
“Baudrillard predicted that the simulations of reality created by our culture will become more real to us than reality itself, and furthermore he believed our culture would become a ‘desert of the real’,” she explains.
Maygarden’s show will be on display at the Jonathan Ferrara Gallery (400a Julia St.) until July 31st

Best Summer Movies of All Time: ‘Jaws,’ ‘The Parent Trap’ and More!
By Evan Real
Jaws and The Parent Trap
Cool (and entertained) for the summer! There are so many amazing movies to beat the heat with over the next three months. To celebrate the start of longer days and warmer temperatures, Us Weekly has rounded up the 10 best summer movies of all time.
Richard Dreyfuss (left) (as marine biologist Hooper) and British author and actor Robert Shaw (as shark fisherman Quint) look off the stern of Quint’s fishing boat the ‘Orca’ at the terrifying approach of the mechanical giant shark dubbed ‘Bruce’ in a scene from the film ‘Jaws’ directed by Steven Spielberg, 1975.

What Were the Top 10 Movies of 2016?
If you’re in the mood for a scare — or have no plans to hit the beach anytime soon — revisit Jaws, 1975’s classic thriller about a blood thirsty Great White shark. If you’re looking for something more upbeat, stream 1998’s reboot of The Parent Trap. In case you forgot, an 11-year-old Lindsay Lohan starred in the Disney classic, and played both Annie James and Hallie Parker, a set of twins who were determined to get their parents back together.

Congresswoman-elect says Republicans called her 'Breonna' because of her Breonna Taylor mask

Congresswoman-elect Cori Bush said Monday evening she was stunned and "hurt" when some Republicans addressed her as "Breonna" during new member orientation at the Capitol because she was wearing a mask with Breonna Taylor's name on it."It did not seem like they were being malicious. They just did not know," Bush told CNN's Erin Burnett on "OutFront.""But then after the next, and next, and the next, then I really started to feel hurt, because I'm like this has been a national movement ... the reports are between 15 and 26 million people protested up to July — from June to July. How do you not know? And we claim ourselves — we asked, we signed up — to be leaders," she continued.A nurse and pastor turned progressive community leader, Bush will be Missouri's first Black woman to represent the state in Congress after winning her House seat, according to CNN's projection."We have to know what is happening in our communities," Bush said. "Not only our communities, but what's happening in other communities, because that is how we keep our people safe."Taylor, a 26-year-old Kentucky EMT, was shot at least eight times by police after law enforcement officials broke down the door of her apartment in an attempted drug raid in March. Her death prompted the kind of soul searching about the role of police in society and systemic racism in the criminal justice system that many advocates have been urging for decades.Before new member orientation, Bush had tweeted a photo of herself wearing the mask with Taylor's name on it outside the Capitol with the caption: "Change does not come from this place unless we bring it here ourselves.""We're bringing change to the 117th Congress," she said.Bush expanded on that message Monday, telling Burnett that she explained to each GOP lawmaker that addressed her as "Breonna" who Taylor actually was."It gave me an opportunity to teach, and so now they know who Breonna Taylor is," Bush said.

Does Your Trade Mark Pass The ACID Test?
You already know the importance of registering your trade mark, but what about way you use it? Improper use can lead to the dilution of your brand – and you don’t want that happen. To help businesses ensure their trade marks remain strong and valid, there is an easy-to-remember guide tha will help you make sure you use your trade mark correctly at all times – the ACID test.
What is the trade mark ACID test?
ACID refers to the proper use of your trade mark and stands for:
If you want to maintain the integrity and strength of your trade mark, it must be a proper adjective. For example, you can say “please hand me a KLEENEX tissue”, but it’s incorrect to say “this is going to be a 5-KLEENEX film.” In the same way, it’s correct to say “I had a STARBUCKS cappuccino”, but not to say “I had a STARBUCKS.” If you think that’s just being nit-picky, think about the demise of the trade marks ELEVATOR, KEROSENE, and CORNFLAKES. These once famous trade marks, are now merely generic product names all because of their misuse.
The next thing to think about is how you use your trade mark within your branding. If you write it in capitals, that’s how it should appear every time you use it within your marketing. If you want to show it in bold print, again, bold text is to be adopted for every use. This is because, by maintaining consistency, you’re emphasising the trade mark, so it’s seen as more than just another word.
Identification refers to whether you should use TM or ®. Our recent post, difference between registered and unregistered trade marks, talks about this in more detail. The symbols refer to the status of your trade mark. Therefore, a registered trade mark is denoted by the use of ®, whereas the use of TM identifies an unregistered trade markTM. As we mentioned in the post mentioned above: “If you use the registered trade mark symbol (®) without having registered the mark, it is seen as misleading and deceptive. If you are challenged over it, you could be subject to severe penalties.”
When using your trade mark within your marketing, it should be instantly recognisable and stand out from the rest of the content. That means it could be in capitals, italics, or bold. It’s also a good idea to use the noun that identifies the trade mark within your marketing. A local example would be PADDY & SCOTT’S coffee.
Make your trade mark stand out
Using your trade mark correctly and consistently will give your brand the strongest possible protection.That sounds like common sense, but even the biggest companies can get it wrong. Considering the time and money you’ve put into its development, you’d be mad not to. The distinctive and consistent use of your trade mark will enable you to build a strong business, goodwill, and brand reputation within your chosen field. From your customers’ point of view, it will help them to identify your products and service. Your trade mark will reassure them to the provenance of your product so they can buy with confidence. That’s why it’s important to make sure your trade mark passes the ACID test.
To sure your trade mark passes the ACID test:

Predicting a presidential candidate’s choice of running mate is a risky business. It is one of the few campaign decisions that is made solely by the candidate himself — often to the surprise, delight or horror of the rest of the staff and the party. But here goes.
Mitt Romney will pick Rob Portman to be his running mate.
I have absolutely no inside information on this one. In fact, I’m a Democrat and Obama supporter, so Republican operatives don’t confide in me. So why am I so sure about this? Because the vice presidency has changed in ways that point to the senator from Ohio.
For most of our history, vice presidents were chosen to “balance” the ticket. The balance could be geographic; in 1960 a New Englander, John F. Kennedy, picked a Southerner, Lyndon B. Johnson. Or it could be ideological; in 1996 Sen. Bob Dole chose Rep. Jack Kemp in order to court the newly powerful supply-siders in the Republican Party.
Not surprisingly, when these “balanced” tickets got elected, the two men did not always get along. Vice presidents were often cut out of the action, relegated to trivial chores or dispatched to unimportant foreign countries. Formerly powerful United States senators, like Lyndon Johnson, found themselves suffering one humiliation after another. Most vice presidents would have identified with the fictional president played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus on the HBO comedy “Veep.” Every time she walks into her office, she asks her secretary if the president has called. The answer is always no.
But the vice presidency changed in 1992 when Bill Clinton picked Al Gore to be his running mate. The smart money back then was on New York Gov. Mario Cuomo – the typical balancer – a New Yorker to Clinton’s Southern roots, a liberal to Clinton’s more moderate “new Democrat” image. But there wasn’t even a whiff of balance about the Clinton/Gore ticket. Like Clinton, Gore was a Southerner; like Clinton he came from the Southern, more conservative “new Democrat” wing of the Party.
Because they were so alike, Gore became the most powerful vice president in modern history — until that distinction went to the next vice president, Dick Cheney. Cheney was no balancer either. George W. Bush didn’t need Cheney to put Wyoming in the Republican column, and they did not represent divergent wings of the Republican Party.
What did Gore and Cheney represent to the candidates who chose them and the presidents they served? Help in governing. The same thing that the choice of the current vice president, Joe Biden, brought to candidate and then President Barack Obama. Obama didn’t need to put Biden on the ticket in order to win Delaware’s measly three electoral votes. But he did need the help Biden’s extensive foreign policy would bring to deal with two inherited wars.
In the past 20 years the public has come to expect competence more than balance from their vice presidential candidates. In that time we’ve seen two “balancers” besides Kemp. John Edwards, Democratic candidate John Kerry’s choice for vice president in 2004, was an inexperienced Southerner paired with a Northerner. By the fall his lack of gravitas had him relegated to lesser campaign duties, and no one thought he brought much to the ticket. And of course we all remember the damage done as the result of John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin as vice president. Her stunning lack of preparation for the office quickly overwhelmed whatever excitement her standing as a conservative “balancer” brought to John McCain’s more moderate background.
So with these lessons in mind Mitt Romney has to be asking himself – “If I should win this impossible job, who can actually help me?” Answering that probably leaves out the demographic and gender “balancers” - Florida Sen. Marc Rubio, New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte and New Mexico Gov. Susan Martinez. Between the three of them, they probably know less about the federal government than Dick Cheney or Al Gore has forgotten.
Another popular choice is former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. But his government experience is like Romney’s – state, not federal. The rumor of the week is former Secretary of State Condi Rice, but since this is not going to be a foreign policy election it’s hard to see what she would bring to the table. And if it were a foreign policy election, the bad odor that still clings to Bush’s two wars would probably hurt more than help.
So if I’m Mitt Romney, I’m looking to Ohio Sen. Rob Portman. Portman would reinforce the image Romney has to pump up in order to beat Obama – competence. The first thing the next president will have to do is deal with a fiscal mess, and Portman served in the Bush administration as budget director and special trade negotiator. For a new president, with no federal experience, Portman would be to Romney as Biden was to Obama four years ago — help.
Finally, although recent vice presidents have not been chosen for their political clout, Portman is from Ohio – the ultimate swing state. If Romney manages to survive the summer’s attacks on his business record, he will find himself in a very close race where Ohio matters. Today Obama shows a small lead in that state. If a favorite son could add even a point or two in the Republican column, it could mean the election.
In that sense Portman is a “twofer.” His background and expertise offer just the kind of substantive help a President Romney would need. And his home-state ties offer just the kind of electoral help that Candidate Romney needs.

Best of Denver® /// Shopping & Services /// 2016
When seamstress Jil Cappuccio left Denver for her native California, taking the bulk of her line with her, Kirsten Coplans — her partner in the Broadway handmade boutique Sewn and the creative behind the charming Pearl repurposed clothing line — recognized that she was left with an empty spot in her day-to-day merchandising mix. Serendipity led Coplans to fill that space with help from the cozy, vintage-inspired Night & Day Vintage boutique, fresh from the Golden Triangle, which made the place cozy again. Both boast a Best of Denver track record from awards given in past years, and Albuquerque-based Little Red Thimble makes it a triumvirate with a mix of vintage accessories and one-of-a-kind baby items tucked into crannies on the shelves: Just two more reasons to love this down-to-earth meeting of the retail minds.

Central Denver is lousy with new buildings — or would that be that most of the new buildings are lousy? Not all of them, fortunately. Around Union Station in the Platte Valley, there are several recently completed structures that have been well designed and constructed out of distinctive materials. Most of those are fairly nice, and one, the Triangle Building, is positively great, already a distinctive landmark in that part of town. Taking the very sculptural form of a sharp-edged wedge nearly completely clad in black glass, it looks as much like an art object as it does an office building, which is what it is. Developed by East West Partners, the building was designed by one of the city's most artistically distinguished architectural firms, Anderson Mason Dale Architects. The firm has done a number of other exceptional projects not far from the Triangle Building, including the handsome pair of mid-rise pavilions bracketing Union Station and CU Denver's Student Commons Building, a stone's throw away on Speer Boulevard.

By early last year, Brad Evans was fed up with the ugly structures sprouting up all over Denver. And soon the founder of the Denver Cruisers was on a roll with Denver FUGLY, the Facebook page he started to document some of the aesthetic disasters in this fast-growing town. "There's all this shit going up," he told us at the time. "Stucco boxes that have no use for being built. People are being lazy." But not Evans, who regularly posts not just his most recent fugly discoveries, but attractive options around the world. And the group's members weigh in regularly, making Denver Fugly a place that's really building for a better future.

Piece by piece, Denver's built environment is getting a makeover — but Save the Signs is working hard to make sure that the city's commercial history is not lost in the changes. A few years ago, photojournalist Corky Scholl began sharing images of the vintage illuminated signs that once greeted travelers along Colfax Avenue on Facebook. These days, Scholl uses the social-media hub as a way to get the word out about endangered neon signs across the country. He's also expanded his project to include photos, stories and videos about the architects and artists who contribute to Denver's visual urban landscape. More than just a place to commune online and talk about the Mile High City's good ol' days, Save the Signs is also a nonprofit that raises money to restore classic signage. Scholl's efforts have saved the wacky neon of Colfax icon Sid King's Crazy Horse Bar and downtown jazz joint El Chapultepec's glowing corner sign, among others.

A notoriously misunderstood player in Denver's history, Colfax Avenue still works hard to showcase its role as the vibrant city thoroughfare it was intended to be. Fortunately, ColfaxAvenue.com is shining the spotlight on what Playboy magazine once called "the longest, wickedest street in America." Founded and run by Anistacia and Johnny Barber, ColfaxAvenue.com regularly publishes photos, personal stories and news updates that prove that the 26-mile-long main street, though still wild, is definitely welcoming. Whether you're looking for throwback images of the gone-but-not-forgotten Eddie Bohn's Pig 'N Whistle or Mammoth Skating Rink (now the Fillmore Auditorium) or a tribute to Pete Contos — owner of the Satire Lounge, Pete's Kitchen, Pete's Greek Town Cafe and many of the other Pete's-named businesses in the city — ColfaxAvenue.com is worth repeat visits.
It's been more than a decade of interviewing bands and making prank phone calls (and fun of each other), but the boys are still at it. The Eddie, Jason and Chris Show is broadcast live every Monday night on idobi Radio — the most-listened-to alternative-music stream in the world — but the podcast is created right here. The three best friends and Denver natives — Eddie Barella, Jason Newcomer and Chris Barr — are online-broadcasting pioneers, having started live-streaming their show during the dial-up days, before podcasting was even a thing. More than 70,000 listeners tune in each week to catch interviews with bands like the Mowgli's and the Undead, but the trio has been known to make appearances around Denver at events like Holiday ManCraft and the Underground Music Showcase. Listen to the show live at 6 p.m. MST on idobi.com, or download the podcast episodes on iTunes. Either way, Denver's sounding mighty good.

It's been a rough year for the East High School Angels, what with a police officer getting injured during a protest march and a brief lockdown situation over a gun scare. But the staff of the Spotlight has handled those stories and others with surprising maturity and insight. With the encouragement of advisor/teacher Mark Ajluni, the paper has tackled racial identity and diversity, checked out a nearby methadone clinic, and celebrated local artists and overachievers — all while still finding time for the usual silly stuff about high-school romances and senioritis. Journalism is one trade where you learn by doing, so the students at East are learning plenty.

Social media can be a tricky form of communication for folks in the public eye. As a newscaster, 9News's Kyle Clark takes a brave step into the modern world of communication and dares to engage with friends and foes alike on his various Internet channels. His Twitter account is on fire, challenging viewers to talk politics, sports, beer and crime stories with him throughout the day. Through social media, Clark answers questions, collects anecdotal data and shares behind-the-scenes photos from his life at the news desk. His atypical news-delivery style has been a topic on Reddit, and he's made national news for his humorous rant about viewers sending him snow-covered patio photos during winter storms. Whatever newsworthy events happen around the world — or on the set of 9News — know that Kyle Clark and his hashtags will be there to cover it.

Most car dealership pitchmen stick in viewer's minds because they're loud and crazy (we're looking at you, Dealin' Doug). But Kent Stevinson of Stevinson Automotive is the exception that proves the rule, doling out humor that's decidedly low-key, and all the more amusing as a result. "Meet the Dragon" is a case in point: In the commercial, the not-exactly intimidating-looking Stevinson appears wearing a karate gi as he says, "Follow me on Facebook to get special offers, model updates and more. Follow me down a dark alley, and you'll meet the dragon" — after which he strikes a supposedly fierce fighting pose that wouldn't scare a three-year-old. It's the funniest nine seconds you'll spend all day.
Steffan Tubbs has made a career in Denver radio by doing the little things better than anyone else. Instead of keeping the focus on himself via outrageous statements or loony stunts, he's a facilitator whose main goal is to make those around him shine, be they other members of the KOA team — including co-host April Zesbaugh — or the people he's interviewing. He's smart, efficient and well-prepared, sharing the news and information listeners need during morning-drive time so professionally that it's easy to overlook his skills. But rest assured, he has them in abundance.

The 9News morning show hasn't just topped its time-slot ratings for decades; it's dominated them in ways that are exceedingly rare for any local broadcast. And Gary Shapiro, who took over as host of the program in 1989 (six years after joining the station), is a big reason why. Cohorts have come and gone over the years, but Shapiro's been a constant, shifting from serious breaking news to goofy hijinks with a casual effortlessness that can't be taught. He may not be the brashest element of the program, but he's the glue that holds it together.

Thousands erupt into Baby Shark at World Series Game 3
Nats fans have heard the song countless times. At World Series Game 3, a sell out crowd participated in the game-day tradition.
Author: Madisson Haynes

Updated: 5:35 PM EDT October 26, 2019
WASHINGTON — By now, Nationals fans have heard Baby Shark hundreds of times. Whether it's being used as Gerardo Parra's walk-up song, or played when a player hits a home run, the song has become the Washington Nationals' unofficial anthem.
During Game 3 of the World Series at Nats Park, thousands of fans erupted into the tune, dancing along to Baby Shark.
For some, this was a dream come true. Thousands of people singing and dancing to Baby Shark at a World Series game in Washington, D.C.? Yeah, sounds pretty crazy.
RELATED: Jaws theme song + Baby Shark = Best Nats mashup ever
But others weren't so thrilled at the sight. Maybe you could say that people who don't root for the Nats don't necessarily get the tradition. But we'll break it down for them.
RELATED: National Cathedral organists 'hit by a sharknado,' join in on Baby Shark craze
Parra uses the notorious Baby Shark as his walk-out song, which has quickly become a fan favorite and a gameday tradition. And the tradition started with Parra, too. According to Major League Baseball's website, it's been Parra's walk-up song ever since June when the team wasn't doing so well.
The song choice was a request from his kids.
The entire Nats team has joined in on the Baby Shark craze. When a player hits a single, they turn to their teammates and do the baby shark motion; for a double, it's mommy shark motion and a triple or home run elicits full on daddy shark mode.
Baby Shark has become the city's good luck charm and will hopefully lead us to winning the World Series. Now maybe everyone will get the hype behind Baby Shark.

Manual of Hundred Demons (Bai Yao Pu) Anime Review: On Fleeting Emotions, Eternal Memories
Yu Alexius September 17, 2020 No Comments BlogReviews
One of the Chinese anime that captivated me the most this 2020 is Bai Yao Pu also known as the Manual of Hundred Demons, or Hundred Demons Spectrum. It was one of bilibili’s lineup of Chinese anime projects for 2020 and was animated by Haoliners Animation League. The Manual of Hundred Demons premiered on April 24, 2020 at bilibili and was based on a novel of the same title, telling the story of Tao Yao, a traveling doctor who can heal supernatural creatures from Chinese legends such as spirits, deities, and demons.
When I first read the plot of the donghua (Chinese anime), the first thing that comes into my mind was its resemblance to Mushishi and Natsume’s Book of Friends, 2 of my all-time favorite anime series. I have been watching the Manual of Hundred Demons on an occasional basis as I can’t binge-watch it before, thus it has been a long and excruciating emotional journey. In this post, I will share my thoughts about it and how it became my best drama donghua of 2020 so far.

Bai Yao Pu Review: The Music & Animation
Bai Yao Pu Opening Theme: “Shan Nian Qi (善念起)” by Li Yugang (李玉刚)
Bai Yao Pu Ending Theme: “Qian Sheng Yan (千生烟)” by Jun Jun (均均)
We follow the adventures of a mysterious young girl, accompanied by a young monk and a demon doctor. Together, they solve human problems and cure illnesses caused by demons and ghosts. (Source: Anilist)
The storytelling of Bai Yao Pu was quite plain, it is simple; our main character Tao Yao travels in different region of Ancient China and meet supernatural creatures along the way, it might be intentional or by an accident. Tao Yao is a doctor for supernatural creatures, in that sense I could compare her to Ginko from Mushishi. Despite being the main character, Tao Yao is far from being heroic, she’s no good nor evil, she simply does things that would help her client and such that would benefit her. Traveling with her is a young monk and a snake demon who protects them when the situation gets dire.
Bai Yao Pu’s story comes in pair, there’s a total of 12 episodes for its first season. There are 6 stories in total, and each story was expanded for 2 episodes. There’s a basic formula in its storytelling that when I have reached the 4thepisode, I know this will be the pattern of its story until the finale. Each story opened with Tao Yao meeting her client, they get to know each other, and sometimes, it’s not on friendly terms as our main character had quite an obnoxious manner too. The 2nd episode of each story then tells the backstory of her clients, which was usually emotionally heartbreaking. In this essence, Tao Yao is a spiritual doctor who deals with her client’s damaged soul. This kind of setup reminds me of Natsume’s Book of Friends as Natsume Takashi also helps the demons he’d met in one way or another.
With predictable storytelling, I actually got bored quite a bit but I can’t deny the fact that each story is special in their own ways. There’s always some kind of similarities, but it offers a unique experience as each client that Tao Yao had met comes with their own stories to tell. One thing I could say is that, each story was melancholic and heartbreaking, that it left me a bit disoriented after watching it. It was a deep, well-written story with the fundamental human emotions at its core. The Manual of Hundred Demons story simply proved that spirits, demons, and even gods are capable of human emotions; they cheered, they loved, they sinned, they erred, they cursed, they grief, and they can be sentimental. It appeals more to the viewer’s emotional side. It’s about demons talks about human nature in their own perspective, whether it’s humanity’s good or evil side.
The donghua is not just a pure emotional ride, the Manual of Hundred Demons also offers a visually stunning experience with its vivid graphics, well-animated scenes, and beautiful character designs. It could be hilarious too as Tao Yao could punch some pretty funny jokes. At its core, the Manual of Hundred Demons remains true to Chinese traditions and cultures, showing various philosophies and traits, unique to Chinese people only. Additionally, the soundtrack is as lovely and emotional as it can be.
The Manual of Hundred Demons only have three major characters to follow, that’s our spiritual doctor Tao Yao and her traveling companions:
She’s our main character and the spirit doctor who can relieve demons, spirits, and gods of their serious illnesses. Almost every demons and spirit venerate her due to her ability while also fear her because of her wicked nature. Sometimes, she could act like an evil villain from any movies or stories out there, as she only cares about her own interest, although she takes pride in herself as a spirit doctor who can heal almost every demon illness out there.
Our little monk is usually the source of comic relief in the series as Tao Yao usually teased him. He along with the little fox Gungun, who was the demon Tao Yao cured from the first and second episode of the series, and joined them, tag along to deliver some of the most adorable scenes in this donghua.
Liugonzi or Mr. Liu is the gentleman snake-demon accompanying them in their journey. He seems to be a powerful demon, and he usually protects Tao Yao and Moya in dire situations, with the pretext of protecting his future meal who is Moya. He seemingly shares a friendly and casual relationship with our spirit doctor Tao Yao.
The Manual of Hundred Demons intensified its emotional story with its beautiful musical score. It’s enchanting and melancholic that further adds some more sentimentality in its already dramatic ambiance.
Both the opening theme and ending theme of the donghua is great and emotionally reverberating. The opening theme is “Shan Nian Qi (善念起)” by Li Yugang (李玉刚), while the ending theme is “Qian Sheng Yan (千生烟)” by Jun Jun (均均).
The animation quality is good, I think it’s the best donghua this 2020 from Haoliners Animation League yet (I still need to wait for Heaven Official’s Blessing to conclude that). Compared to other works of the studio this year such as The Daily Life of the Immortal King, Those Years I Owned a Zoo, and God of Deception; The Manual of Hundred Demons is on a league of its own.
While the Manual of Hundred Demons is far from the best Chinese anime of 2020, I do believe that is one of the most emotional I had this year, thus I can say that it is the best drama donghua of 2020 so far. If you wish to watch the Manual of Hundred Demons (Bai Yao Pu), you may check it at bilibili or on the YouTube channel of KetchupSubs.

Fleetwood Mac Rumors - Airbrush Mural Painting
Fleetwood Mac Airbrush mural...
Here's how this legendary airbrush painting came about...
This photo-realistic mural was painted back in 1997 at the age of 21 just as Fleetwood Mac began their reunion tour. The idea began back stage during a ZZ top concert at the Columbia Gorge.
I had gathered with my family and friends in the massive crowd of anxious ZZ top fans at the beautiful outdoor concert venue known as the Columbia River Gorge. The band had yet to come on. Somehow, my mom's boss had scored the both of them back-stage passes to the show. My mom, being generous to a fault, handed me her pass with a smile. I couldn't believe it. "Really?" I asked.
"You will have a better time than I would," my mom said. Everyone near me was staring at me, frozen in shock. "Hurry," she said. "The show is about to start."
Ticket in hand, I rushed off towards the stage. It was quiet, with very few people around. Before long, I found her boss eating his fill of the buffet. From the noise, it was obvious that the band was about to play, so I left him to his pastries and found myself at the side of the stage, grinning ear to ear. Standing off to the side behind the curtain, I got a cool look from behind those dark sunglasses and then the crowd erupted. Ecstatic, I raced back to my seat.
The show was a blur to me as night fell and once it was over, I found myself standing amongst legends and feeling waaay under dressed. I really don't even remember what we briefly talked about. After a time, we were invited on their huge chrome tour bus. The band had retired somewhere and my mom's boss and I sat with a dude who had hooked up a talented airbrush artist with work for the band. "What would you like to drink," he asked?
"What do you have," I replied?
"No, what do you want to drink," he asked again with a smile.
I shrugged and said: "I'll have a Pepsi."
We began chatting while I sipped on my soda, aware that I probably could have been drinking just about anything my heart desired. The guy told me about Fleetwood Mac's upcoming tour and said that if I did a painting of them that he could get them to sign it.
When I got back home to the Tri-Cities, I cleared out a wooden shed beside the small trailer where my girlfriend and I lived. My dad had loaned me his Rumors album and I went to work. At the time, I was working full time out of town with the carpenter's union and so on my free time, I toiled away in that cramped little shed with a lantern plugged into an extension cord.
I had sectioned off the picture in grids, painting freehand, the paint flowing effortlessly from my Badger 2000 airbrush. I've no idea how long I spent on that painting. Still, I do remember the most difficult part was capturing Stevie Nicks like she was in that small photo and the wild expression on Mick Fleetwood's face.
The band had already begun their reunion tour when the paint finally dried. Satisfied with myself, I called the dude I met at the ZZtop concert. The phone number was no longer in service. Soon, I began to hear rumors that the man may have been a con artist, selling guitars signed by piano players and so on. It was a bit disappointing but the disappointment soon fled as I stood facing an iconic picture, unaware that the photography of Herbert Worthington would help set my life on its course.

Monday Night Raw Review - March 25, 2002
By Graham "GSM" Matthews
Tazz def. Mr. Perfect
It boggled my mind while watching this match how WWE did next to nothing with Mr. Perfect upon his return to the company in the Royal Rumble match. He looked no different than he did in the late '80s! They essentially wasted his talents and worse yet, he could still go in the ring based off what I saw from him here, which wasn't much. The match went all of a minute before Tazz put away Perfect for the win, so what was the point? Tazz was another guy who, despite being over with the audience, was marginalized for the better part of his WWE run. What a shame.
Christian and Booker T def. Edge and Diamond Dallas Page
I was confused by who were supposed to be the babyfaces and heels in this match. DDP was a heel at WrestleMania, wasn't he? And I guess this was before Booker T turned face but the crowd adored him, regardless. This had the potential to be a great match given who was involved, but it was cut short before it could amount to anything special. It was pretty disappointment as a result.
Trish Stratus def. Ivory
It was clear that Stratus was still coming into her own around this point because she was struggling to find her stride in the ring in this match. Ivory wasn't much better, either, as it looked like she blew a few spots and it made for a mess of a match. Similar to the previous matches, it was over before it could even get started. Plus, then-Women's Champion Jazz wasn't even there! With nothing on the line and no established issues between these two, it was difficult to care about it.
nWo def. The Rock and Hulk Hogan in a 3-on-2 Handicap Match by Disqualification
This may look like a match stacked with star power on paper, but it didn't deliver in the ring whatsoever. Hogan was definitely beloved by the crowd, but his matches were mostly garbage (see: him vs. The Undertaker from Judgement Day 2002) unless he worked with someone who could carry him. Rock did his best to salvage the match when he was tagged in, but the nWo being damaged goods by this point didn't help matters. This match was meaningless in the long run since the two teams were split up in the Draft and nWo weren't even at Backlash the next month.
Jeff Hardy def. World Tag Team Champion Billy
The Hardy Boyz were still a hot tag team in 2002, so why were they left out of the televised portion of the Draft? I understand that Billy and Chuck were tag champs at the time, but for them to get drafted ahead of The Hardy Boyz was just sad. Similar to the previous bouts, the match wasn't given much time at all. Hardy served no purpose because I believe The Hardy Boyz were split up in the Draft.
European Champion William Regal vs. Rikishi Went to a No Contest (Non-title)
This was Lesnar's only second appearance in WWE after debuting the week prior and his F5 on Rikishi was an impressive sight. It beat the hell out of a pointless Regal vs. Rikishi match, that much was for sure. I also appreciated how Lesnar was among the top ten Draft picks for Raw and even Mr. McMahon and Ric Flair were fighting over him. It made him a big deal from the get-go. My only gripe with this was that they quickly moved on from the attack and didn't give it enough time to sink in.
Intercontinental Champion Rob Van Dam def. Kurt Angle by Disqualification
Angle had more bright ideas than McMahon throughout the whole night! I liked how he said that if he beat RVD for the Intercontinental title, he could take the title to SmackDown, but how could McMahon sanction this match if he was the head of SmackDown? The match wasn't what it could have been, continuing the theme of everything else prior to this bout, and the non-finish was underwhelming. If nothing else, it set up Angle's feud with Edge nicely when the future Rated-R Superstar made the save for RVD afterward.
Undisputed Champion Triple H def. Chris Jericho and Stephanie McMahon in a Triple Threat Match
HHH had been made to look so dominant in the months leading up to his match with Jericho at WrestleMania 18 that neither Jericho nor Stephanie were considered threats to the title. It was an interesting concept to have them compete in a Triple Threat match with a woman in the mix, but if anything, Stephanie's involvement dragged down the quality of the contest. They had to work her into several spots rather than have her sit out for most of it while HHH and Jericho worked their magic. Jericho was protected since Stephanie was pinned (and ultimately off TV for a few months before returning as the SmackDown General Manager), but it didn't matter much considering he was no longer in contention for the title.
Overall Show
I went into this edition of Raw excited since it was the first-ever WWE Draft, but this was a total trainwreck. I didn't mention too much about the actual Draft picks in the previous paragraphs, but the system was flawed even then. It was more along the lines of a legitimate Draft than it would eventually become, but how could Flair pick up the nWo yet The Dudley Boyz were split up? And why was Hogan not one of the first few picks? There were multiple head-scratching moments and to top it all off, the wrestling was awful! The main event was decent, but only compared to everything that came before it. I'd suggest watching this show solely for its historical significance, but don't have high hopes.

New Wimpy restaurant opens in High Wycombe
Matthew Clark | November 23, 2020

A new Wimpy restaurant has opened in High Wycombe.
The new restaurant opened on Monday 23rd November 2020 at 19-21 White Hart Street, close to the Eden Shopping Centre.
Due to the current lockdown restrictions the restaurant is serving only takeaways and home delivery orders via Just Eat and Deliveroo. However as soon as restrictions are lifted the team behind the restaurant, which has table service seating for up to 44 diners, say they are looking forward to welcoming diners through their doors.
Wimpy High Wycombe is the brainchild of a consortium of four franchisees, who together have several decades of experience of running Wimpy restaurants.
Joint franchisee, Altan Ogretici, who has been involved in Wimpy for more than 20 years and who also runs Wimpys at Ruislip, Ashford and Cheshunt, said: ‘We are absolutely thrilled to have brought Wimpy back to High Wycombe, we know there are plenty of Wimpy fans in the town and we can’t wait to show off our new look and our fabulous, good value food.
Our new restaurant is in an excellent town centre location, close to the Eden Shopping Centre and when regulations allow, it makes the perfect place to stop off for a freshly-cooked meal after a trip round the shops or to pop in and meet friends. In the meantime, we’re looking forward to serving Wimpy fans via takeaway and home delivery.‘
Leading the new High Wycombe team will be Ahmet Sevinc, former franchisee at Wimpy Rayleigh and Wimpy Bicester. The other franchisees are Yujel Mehmed, who is also a joint franchisee at Wimpy Cheshunt with Altan, and Asrarjon Abdullaev.
The interior of the £200,000 restaurant shows off Wimpy UK’s latest SHIFT design, building on the brand’s strong heritage and much loved traditions and featuring bright new colours, bench style seating and Wimpy artwork on the walls.
Social distancing measures, including hand sanitisers and screens have been put in place and QR codes will be available on tables for diners to scan in their orders.
Chris Woolfenden, Wimpy UK general manager, said: ‘We know that Wimpy has been much missed in High Wycombe and are delighted that with all their combined experience, Altan and his fellow franchisees have been successful in bringing it back to the town. We wish them every luck in the future.‘
The previous Wimpy restaurant in High Wycombe closed in January 2009.

Helping solve water at a dedicated coronavirus hospital in Russia
As COVID-19 spread across the country, Russia took action to prepare for a huge influx of patients, including building new, dedicated COVID-19 centers. The construction of a new coronavirus hospital near Moscow began in March. The major project was completed in just over a month. The new healthcare institution has 12 buildings and covers an area of 70,000 square meters. It offers 500 beds, with 250 of them in the intensive care unit. The Infection Center, which includes separate dormitories to house a staff of 1,000, is equipped with cutting-edge medical equipment and supplies.
Hospital wastewater is produced from various departments, including patient wards, surgery units, laboratories, clinical wards, intensive care units, and laundries. It contains non-biological and fibrous material due to different duties and medical residues.
To put in place effective wastewater treatment capabilities, the hospital had an immediate need for wastewater pumping stations, along with a disinfectant reaction tank, pre-treatment systems for proper discharge into the public sewage system, as well as delivery of a clean and heating water system.
Working together with its distributor, RDE, Xylem delivered a total of 11 wastewater pumps to be installed in three new wastewater pumping stations: eight Flygt N 3127 and three Flygt N 3069. These pumps featured Adaptive N® hydraulic technology, which provides sustained efficiency and allows for 25 percent lower energy consumption independent of impeller speed or duty point.
Because all wastewater from the new hospital would be chemically pre-treated before being discharged into the sewage system, Xylem supplied 12 Flygt 4640 mixers to support the disinfection processes in the disinfectant reaction tank. The tanks are located underground, and Xylem had to ensure the quality of mixing for the entire volume of the tank and make sure maintenance can be kept to a minimum during operation.
Xylem's services included calculations and positioning of the Flygt mixers, helping the design consultant to achieve the required performance and to utilize the existing tank design without any structural changes. For clean and heating water applications, Xylem delivered four Lowara Ecocirc XL high-efficiency pumps.
Impact and benefits
The installation of the equipment Xylem provided to the hospital has enabled the proper disposal of wastewater at a time when the facility was under heavy operational stress.
“The new water and wastewater equipment, which we were honored to provide during the pandemic, has benefitted the hospital and its patients, and the larger Moscow community,” says Grigory Erantsev, General Manager at Xylem for Russia, Belarus & Kazakhstan. “Water plays a key role in public health, and Xylem is proud to help solve water challenges for our customers and their stakeholders.”
Xylem’s new Avensor monitoring service delivers data-driven insights for pump stations

Darr As the new Board of Education policies were implemented, Brother Martinez collected data so the Board could decide if the schools in Mexico were a redundant effort to public schools and if they might need to close in order to free up resources to take religious education to every part of the country.
It was made up primarily of expatriate members, the first local Chilean convert being baptized that same year.

Although the Prophet would polish his skills over the years, Emma acknowledged that Joseph possessed only rudimentary literacy at the time he translated the gold plates:.
She acted excited, but I realize now that her desire was to make me happy. Moroni, a Book of Mormon prophet, saw a vision of modern times and spoke directly to contemporary Mormons. Hospitals are named after him today.

A visit to the Dutch National Museum of Science and Medicine (August 20, 2014)

We have consistently used this column to argue that our poverty in Africa is largely self-induced. We have opined that since the gods have endowed us with inestimable mineral wealth, there is little else they can do for us. We have pointed out that we do not face any problem that other people have not faced and have successfully overcome.. We have noted that we cannot continue to do the same thing over and over, and expect to get a different result.
We have said these things, and a whole lot more, so often that we have begun to sound tiresome, like an old broken record.
What pains is the shame that we feel when we travel outside of our continent, and see the giant strides other people are making to improve their lives.
While we remain stuck in some sort of time warp, with little motion, and absolutely no progress, other, more serious people, are mastering nature and reaching for the stars.
Many of the giants of our race, Marcus Garvey and Kwame Nkrumah included, did all within their powers to make us realize how far behind we are, and what we need to do to catch up, so that our race can gain some recognition, dignity and respect. They told us that until and unless we successfully build a Black Nation, which can compete with the best in the world, we shall continue to be treated like the under-dogs that we are.
Sadly, despite all their warnings and their mighty efforts, we failed to listen; we refused to heed their call.
Today, Ebola is ravaging West Africa and, like demented children, we are caught off-guard. We are left to do what we know best, go on our knees to beg the rest of the world to come to our aid.
Ebola is not a new disease; it has ravaged East and Central Africa for decades. Let’s leave aside all the theories about how the virus came into being. What baffles greatly is the total and absolute lack of preparations by our governments across the continent.
It has since emerged that most Western governments, plus the Russians and the Chinese, have been busy working on an Ebola vaccine. The Americans successfully evacuated two of their infected citizens from Liberia and have since treated and discharged them.
While the Americans sent their compatriots to the best medical facilities to get first-class treatment, the Liberian President, Madam Sirleaf, asked her citizens to fast and pray for three days.
We have said that asinine remarks like those made by Madam Sirleaf have made it impossible for us to treat our rulers in Africa with any respect. None of them has done anything to earn our respect.
What are we supposed to make of the Liberian leader’s stupid and imbecilic statement? What does Madam President expect to happen after the three days of useless prayer and fasting? Does Madam President need prayers to earn her fantastic pay and emoluments and her presidential fleets and palace?
Please, give us a break!
It is said that tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. In our travels around the world, we have tried to chronicle and share with our readers what other people have achieved, using nothing but their brain power.
Our intention is to wake up those of us in Africa and make us realize that, other people are making progress.
Last year, after a visit to the world’s oldest planetarium, we published “A Visit to a Planetarium.” The story depicts how one brave Dutch soul changed the history of science, by building a planetarium to challenge dubious priests, who told the lie that eclipses are caused by the anger of the gods.
We followed up with a piece that showcased the achievements of the Dutch people in reclaiming lands from the seas, to build one of the most developed countries in the world. See here: A Pictorial Tour of the Netherlands.
Last week, I felt humbled, sad and angry after I spent the day at the Dutch National Museum of the History of Science and Medicine in the historic city of Leiden.
This is how the pamphlet described the facility: “The Museum Boerhaave is the Dutch National Museum of the History of Science and Medicine. It is located in the former Caecilia Hospital in the centre of Leiden. The Museum is named after the great Dutch professor of medicine, botany and chemistry Herman Boerhaave (1668-1738). Its collections reflect the development of mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry and medicine in the Netherlands. They range in time from a magnificent 15th century astrolabe to the electron-microscope and the surgeon’s equipment of yesteryear.”
I was humbled to see the impressive scientific achievements of the Dutch over the years, including more Nobel Prizes (19 mostly in Physics and Chemistry) than all of Africa (18 – many for Peace and Literature). I was sad that none of the things I saw had an African imprint. I was angry that we in Africa fail to learn anything.
Those who want to know why the West is so far ahead, need only to visit museums like Boerhaave, to see the great efforts they have put in, since their Renaissance, to master science.
We can dream all we want, fast and pray to no end, pour as much olive oil as we want on our heads, burn as many candles as we like, eat as much grass as our pastors command, speak in as many tongues as we care to, but verily, verily I say, our efforts shall all be in vain.
However hard we try, we simply cannot cheat nature. We can learn from it and master its techniques, but cheat, no!
Here are some pictures to illustrate the Dutch scientific journey.

Cumberlands Lawsuit Argued in Kentucky Supreme Court
From Kentucky Public Radio’s Tony McVeigh
A ruling is not expected for several weeks from the Kentucky Supreme Court in a lawsuit challenging the use of state tax dollars to build a pharmacy school on a Baptist college campus.
Attorney Kimberlee Colby, arguing for the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, says the school will help reduce a shortage of pharmacists in Kentucky.
“In Ephron, it was a shortage of hospitals that triggered the General Assembly’s action and in this case it is a shortage of pharmacists,” said Colby.
That drew this response from Attorney David Tachau, arguing for opponents of the expenditure.
“There is absolutely no evidence in the trial court, that the pharmacy school appropriations in this case were enacted for any health and welfare purpose, much less to address an alleged shortage of pharmacists,” said Tachau.
A lower court judge ruled the expenditure violates a constitutional prohibition against public education money being spent on any “church, sectarian or denominational school.”

Bangladesh tour of New Zealand, 2nd T20I
Bangladesh Cricket: NZ beat BD by 47 runs

Bangladesh lost the 3-match T20I series against New Zealand when they went down by 47 runs in the second game at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui today.
Chasing 196, Bangladesh looked like they had a semblance of a chance to get close to the colossal total during the fourth wicket partnership of 68 runs between Soumya Sarkar and Sabbir Rahman. After Soumya was dismissed for 39 in the 11th over with the score at 104 for 4, Bangladesh lost their last six wickets without much resistance, and were all out for 148 in 18.1 overs.
Sabbir’s 48 from 32 was the highest score by a Bangladeshi batter today, and his cameo contained three fours and three massive sixes. Soumya looked good in his 39 from 26, but fell to the short pitch trap set by Trent Boult.
For the hosts, Ish Sodhi took 3-36 in four overs while captain Kane Williamson and Ben Wheeler chipped in with two wickets each.
Earlier, Colin Munro’s blitzkrieg of 101 in 54 balls enabled the Black Caps to post 195 for 7.
The 123-run partnership between Munro and Tom Bruce extended the game at a rapid pace and threatened to take the total well beyond 200 at one stage. Late wickets from Rubel Hossain helped the tourists to restrict New Zealand to their second highest T20I total against Bangladesh.
Munro made a mockery of the erratic bowling from Bangladesh and kept on punishing the bad balls on a regular basis. His innings contained seven fours and seven sixes, and he was absolutely ruthless on the slow bowlers. Mahmudullah Riyad conceded 32 in two overs, Mosaddek Hossain 22 in two while Shakib was carted for 32 runs in four overs.
Tom Bruce played second fiddle to Munro, but scored 59 runs in 39 balls. He struck five fours and a six in his knock. He kept his end secured when wickets were falling after Munro’s blistering century.
Rubel Hossain was the highest wicket-taker for his side, with 3-37 in four overs. Mustafizur Rahman was the most economical, and he gave away 30 runs in four overs.
Bangladesh: 148 (18.1/20 overs)
Sabbir 48, Soumya 39, Sodhi 3-36
New Zealand: 195 for 7 (20 overs)
Munro 101, Bruce 59*, Rubel 3-37
Result: New Zealand win by 47 runs

10/01/10 Animal Friends Days 2010
The ninth year in a row Animal Friends reminds of the important dates for animal protection and rights days
- Animal Friends marks the World Vegetarian Day, World Farm Animals Day and World Animal Day by organizing tastings, a lecture, projections and info stalls
Friday, October 1 – World Vegetarian Day
In Croatia there are more than 150,000 vegetarians, while according to the latest public survey 86 percent of the Croatian citizens support vegetarianism, while almost 30 percent of them said they could become vegetarians. The development of the vegetarian movement is even stronger in other European countries.
This year Animal Friends will mark World Vegetarian Day by holding a whole-day info stall on King Tomislav Square, where Zagreb's people will be informed about the advantages of a vegetarian diet for their health, environment and animals. They can convince themselves that foods of plant origin are indeed delicious at 12 noon during the tasting of vegan cheese and cream.
On the stall there will also be a promotion of the music video "Why Must We Eat The Animals? (Oh Why Oh Why?)," which can be seen at Animal Friends' Youtube channel www.youtube.com/afcroatia as well. It is the work of L.A. musicians Greg Cipes and Jah Sun, a project of the web site www.OhWhyOhWhy.org whose mission is the promotion of vegetarianism through multi-media.
Saturday, October 2 – World Farm Animals Day
Organized by Farm Animal Rights Movement (FARM), World Farm Animals Day is marked on the birthday of the vegetarian Mahatma Gandhi in order to bring attention to the suffering of more than 50 billion cows, pigs, chicken and other sentient beings which are being killed each year on farms and in slaughterhouses around the world. On this day Animal Friends wants to make the suffering and slavery of animals visible who are institutionally abused and slaughtered en masse.
Curious and conscientious people can on the all-day stall on King Tomislav Square from 11 A.M. peek through small holes on a tent to see the lives of the most deprived animals in Croatia. The short footage "Croatian Invisible Animals," which can also be seen at www.nevidljive-zivotinje.com, in only five minutes unveils the state of the farms and households in Croatia, exposing the truth we do not want to see.
The footage sends a clear message about the necessity of reconsidering our prejudices against other animal species, about which Donald Watson, the co-founder of the Vegan Movement in England in the 1940s, believed said: "We can see quite plainly that our present civilisation is built on the exploitation of animals, just as past civilisations were built on the exploitation of slaves…"
The City of Zagreb traditionally organizes the marking of World Animal Day, which will also this year take place at the Zagreb lake Bundek. Animal Friends will join other associations by inviting people not to buy animals but instead home those who are abandoned. The visitors will be able to enjoy an all-day program on the stage, while at the Animal Friends' stall they can get various free videos and printed info materials about all aspects of animal protection and rights and sign current petitions like the one for the urgent reform of the veterinary inspection.

On the very World Animal Day, after the info stall on King Tomislav Square, where Animal Friends will appeal to the people to buy only products which are not tested on animals and hand out the so-called White List, everyone is invited to the intriguing and impressive lecture "Tale of a Happy Cow and a Carefree Calf" by Vedran Romac. This lecture, which leaves no one indifferent, will be held at 7:30 P.M. in Zagreb's club Mama, Preradoviceva 18.
Animal Friends, respectively World Animal Day ambassador for Croatia Ivana Surjan, invites people, media, institutions and associations to mark this day. That can be done by personal engagement in animal protection and rights, i.e. making at least one change which will result in better status of sentient beings with whom we share this planet.

Freshwater seepage flow to salt lakes of Rottnest Island, Western Australia.
A. H. M. Faisal Anwar, Dipok Sarkar, Nicholas Bato
Rottnest Island, a popular tourist and holiday destination, is situated about 30 km west of Perth (Western Australia) in the Indian Ocean. Total area is about 2000 ha, of which 10% is made up by salt lakes. The main freshwater resources at Rottnest Island are the two shallow unconfined aquifers known as Oliver Hill and Wadjemup mounds. These aquifers may feed freshwater seepages along swamps and lake edges for many island faunas that are dependent on freshwater. The freshwater seepage flow to the salt lakes primarily depends on the hydraulic gradient of water table but currently it is unknown at Rottnest Island. This study investigates the freshwater seepage flow to the salt lakes and its quality for the use of island’s fauna. Two seepage meters were designed based on Lee (1977) and Brodie et al. (2009) by cutting a drum into two pieces and installed in the margins of two selected lakes-Lake Baghdad and Lake Negri. These two sites were chosen because of numerous visits of the animals and birds and close proximity to the Wadjemup aquifer. The visit of animals was ensured from their footprints and poos. Several site visits were made during the wet period (June–September) of 2012 for water sampling from the seepage meter, lake water and nearby piezometer. This time was selected because of winter/rainy season of the year when the seepage water is prominent in the margin of the salt lakes. The water samples from seepage meter, respective lakes and nearby groundwater was collected and measured for different water quality parameters such as, electrical conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids, total nitrogen and total phosphate. The average seepage flow to Lake Baghdad (204 ml.m-2.min-1) was found much higher than Lake Negri (8.95 ml.m-2.min-1). This may be because of some preferential flow to Lake Baghdad which was also confirmed from visible seeps. Water quality parameters revealed that the pH is within the range of drinking water quality standard and dissolved oxygen of groundwater was found lower than the lake water. But all other parameters fall above the standard values. The salinity effect may be due to hypersaline salt lakes and the sea-water intrusion and the nutrients are found higher because of vegetative waste and fauna poos near the salt lakes where the freshwater seeps are available.

WHAT IS THE STAYING WELL EXPERT PATIENTS PROGRAMME?
The Staying Well Expert Patients Programme (EPP) is a ‘chronic disease self-management course’ (CDSMC), a new government initiative to help people living with long term conditions maintain their health and improve their quality of life through a self management course led by someone else with a long term health condition.
Self management programmes have been running in the USA since the 1970s and came to this country in 1994. Over this time a substantial body of clinical research and experiential feedback has built up testifying to its efficiency.
The primary aim is not to impart medical information but to facilitate the development of self management skills, such as problem solving and goal setting.
The course has been designed to help people with a chronic or long-term illness regain as much control over their physical and emotional well-being as possible. It complements existing health care programmes and treatments, empowering participants to be more informed and better able to develop partnerships with their medical practitioners.
WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THE STAYING WELL EXPERT PATIENTS PROGRAMME?
It is a generic, time-limited course, suitable for people who have any long-term health condition. For example: Arthritis, Heart Disease, Stroke, Depression, MS, Epilepsy, ME, Schizophrenia, Fibromyalagia, Diabetes, HIV, indeed any condition that impacts on a persons life. The Tutors are themselves living with long-term conditions.
Tutors use a detailed, scripted manual, underpinned by ongoing research. There is a strong emphasis on participants setting practical and achievable action plans that are evaluated weekly.
The course is informal but structured allowing an equal amount of time for discussion and information. It is held in a community rather than health venue.
What does the Course involve?
The course consists of one 2½ hour session once a week for six weeks, the maximum number of participants on each course is 16 plus two tutors who also live with a long-term condition.
The areas covered include:
Goal setting/action planning
Relaxation/exercise
Symptom management techniques
Living wills/power of attorney
The course is interative, informal and friendly.
Research shows that people who have attended the course:
Have greater confidence in dealing with their illness, experience less pain, fatigue, depression and anxiety. They are more likely to continue with exercise and relaxation techniques; make fewer visits to their GP and have better communication with health professionals.
Why does the course work so well?
Because individuals with different conditions share many of the same problems, no matter what illness individuals live with it is often the consequences of that illness that are more problematic than the condition itself. When you can’t do what you used to be able to and your family and friends don’t understand, anger, frustration, loss of job or mobility, depression and pain can so easily become a cycle of despair.
Feedback from participants countrywide has been excellent and although this is something very new for the NHS it is something people want.
Yes, the course is structured but there is time for short discussions to help us learn from each other and gain support and encouragement.
Courses are available throughout Bassetlaw please contact us for more details.

Welcome to Ranskill, a rural village and civil parish of some 2500 people in the Bassetlaw district of Nottinghamshire, approximately 5 miles north of the market town of Retford. Ranskill dates back to the Danish invasions of the 9th century and the name derives from 'Ravenskelf' which meant 'shelving knoll or ridge of the raven'.
The village features St Barnabas Church, built in 1878. Also placed in the centre of the village is the Reading Room, built in 1891 by the Gillott family as a library and reading room for residents but which is now a place where snooker, billiards, pool and darts are played.
During the Second World War and until 1975, there was a Royal Ordnance factory for the manufacture of munitions on the outskirts of Ranskill. The East Coast Main Line railway passes to the east of the village, which originally had its own station but which is now served by Retford and by Doncaster in South Yorkshire to the north.
Although in North Nottinghamshire, Ranskill lies close to the borders with South Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire and is within easy reach of Doncaster, Sheffield and Lincoln. It is ideally located for the coast and for Clumber Park and Sherwood Forest and it isn’t far to the Peak District.
The village has a thriving community of friendly people with a great village pub in the Blue Bell, good facilities, lots of societies and organisations and an annual Village Festival. All in all, it’s a good place to be!

Aurora services set to relocate to enable building work to commence
Aurora Wellbeing in Worksop has this week relocated a number of vital services in preparation for the start of building works and the transformation of the Old Library Building on Memorial Avenue.
Aurora Wellbeing, a local charity that supports people in Bassetlaw affected by cancer and long term health conditions was in 2019 awarded £1.56M from the National Heritage Lottery Fund (NHLF), boosted to £2M with support from key stakeholders, to transform the Old Library Building where the Aurora charity is based.
Throughout the duration of the building works, Aurora will continue to deliver services to local people to ensure people in Bassetlaw diagnosed with cancer receive vital help and support, and until services can return to the centre in 2021.
The Aurora Charity Shop and Tea Rooms will relocate to the former Dukeries Tea Rooms building on Bridge Street in Worksop in October 2020, for a period of approximately six months and will open daily from Monday – Saturday, 10 am – 3 pm.
Aurora beauty therapy services will continue to deliver services from Sparkles Beauty, Kilton Road, Worksop and customers are asked to call 0750 3612084 during this period to book appointments.

Drug and alcohol addiction affects people from all walks of life and the reasons behind it can be complex. Research is now showing that in many cases it is a response to childhood trauma or difficult life events. Our service users have often lost their home, their health, their job, family, friends, confidence and hope – people can remain caught up in a vicious cycle of addiction, problems, shame and guilt . Our experience of delivering local services and projects since 1998 has resulted in a passionate belief that addiction doesn’t need to destroy lives – with the right support at the right time, people can and do recover to become ‘better than well’, able to take up their place in society and be excellent citizens, parents, family members and employees.
By supporting individuals, we benefit the community; in turn, we rely on the community for our successes. You can make a difference as a business or employer through the power of partnership; as a donor or fundraiser to help us reach farther; or as a volunteer selflessly supporting our services.

CAMHS stands for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. It’s the part of the NHS which helps children and young people who have problems with their thoughts or feelings. We can help people until they are 18. If someone like a teacher or your doctor is worried about you, they can write to CAMHS to see if we can help you. This is called making a referral. The person who is going to write to us has to get your permission first. As long as we think you are able to decide, it's up to you whether or not we let your parents know.
If you are having trouble with your thoughts or feelings talk to your parents or carers, or an adult you trust. There is a useful website called Health for Teens that you may find useful: http://www.healthforteens.co.uk/
Most children who get help from CAMHS see one of our community teams. This normally means you will come to see us for weekly appointments at one of our bases, at a health centre or at your school. We have lots of people working for us who can help you in different ways. These include:
family therapists – who talk through problems with you and your family
CAMHS social workers – who support children and families through difficult times
family support workers – who can give advice to your parents or carers
mental health practitioners – who support young people and their families to bring about positive change
psychologists – experts in how people think and act
psychiatrists – doctors who work on thoughts and feelings
art psychotherapists – who can help you by using art and music
For more information visit our website: http://bit.ly/2sQl6GD
Information for parents and carers can be found at: http://bit.ly/2sgBCkS
As well as our community teams, we have some teams which work on other difficulties. These include:
Problems with eating
Problems with drugs or alcohol
Psychosis – when someone hears or sees things which aren’t there
Intellectual disability – when someone finds it difficult to communicate or understand things

This ensures that the service we provide is safe, ethical and confidential
You can find more information on the BACP website about their Ethical Framework
Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is a way to help people with a broad variety of mental illnesses and emotional difficulties. Psychotherapy can help eliminate or control troubling symptoms so a person can function better and can increase well-being and healing.
Problems helped by psychotherapy include difficulties in coping with daily life, the impact of trauma, medical illness or loss, like the death of a loved one, and specific mental disorders, like depression or anxiety. There are several different types of psychotherapy and some types may work better with certain problems or issue. Psychotherapy may be used in combination with medication or other therapies.
Psychotherapy can be short-term(a few sessions), dealing with immediate issues, or long-term (months or years), dealing with longstanding and complex issues. The goals of treatment and arrangements for how often and how long to meet are planned jointly by the patient and therapist.
Access to Service
Our service is available across the county using digital platforms and telephone. Face to face sessions are available in Mansfield and Worksop. Daytime, evening and weekend appointments are available to suit your needs.
We can work with clients aged 18 and over through self-referral, a GP referral or through other agencies that support you.
In a telephone conversation, our coordinator will ask you about your personal circumstances and what is causing you concern. This will help determine if our service is right for you.
At the assessment, you will be asked about your current situation, past experiences, a brief medical history and how you hope to benefit from counselling. If we cannot provide the correct help for you at this time we will do our best to find alternative support.
After the assessment, you will be placed on our waiting list. If you would like any further information about our Counselling Service please contact our main office on 0800 470 0203 and speak to our team for more information.
Digital Support

At present we offer app based peer support sessions daily Monday to Thursday.

We also use these session to provide creativity and fun with our Quiz – keeping the brain active , Photography sessions – sharing snaps to brighten your day ….. and much more.
Our Information sessions can also take place digitally on a 1-1 basis should you require a little more support, sessions take place over zoom and allow you the chance to see and communicate with one of our recovery coaches.
Sessions are 30 minute and you don’t need to have your camera switched on but you’ll be able to see our recovery coach, we feel this helps build a better relationship for the client.

Ranby Village Hall
Ranby Village Hall Blyth Road Ranby Retford Nottinghamshire
Community space for hire.
Contact Ranby Village Hall Blyth Road Ranby Retford Nottinghamshire
Email: ranbyvhbooking@gmail.com
Website: http://www.ranbyvillagehall.org.uk/community/ranby-village-hall-15321/home/
In view of the Government's advice to everyone in the UK to stop non-essential contact with other people, avoid social venues and avoid all unnecessary travel, Ranby Village Hall has been closed from Sunday 22nd March 2020.
With the Government's relaxation of lock down measures, we have now decided to provisionally re-open the hall on 1st September.
However, the capacity of the hall will be reduced to 30 and social distancing will have to be observed both inside and outside the hall. The kitchen and store room areas will be closed off, so access will only be allowed to the main hall and toilets.
Written guidelines to cover both the hall and hirers' requirements, that must be followed to enable us to open, have been produced. Hirers will be required to adhere to these guidelines, which can be obtained from the Hall Booking Secretary ( ranbyvhbooking@gmail.com )
Stay alert, stay safe, protect the NHS.
Originally known as Ranby Club, the hall was built in 1927 by Sir Albert Bingham, as a sports and social club for use by the residents of Ranby and the surrounding area. You had to be a member and pay a fee, and over the next 30 years it provided facilities for snooker, darts, bowls and tennis.
In 1960 the hall was given to the village by the estate of Sir Albert Bingham, to be run by a committee.
In 1963 it became a charity and was renamed Ranby Village Hall with the trustees being appointed from local organisations.
By this time the various sports facilities had declined and disappeared and the hall could be hired by any group that wished to hold a function.
By 2010 it was recognised that the building needed considerable work carrying out if it was to continue to provide a service to the community.
Money was raised, grants obtained, designs agreed and after extensive refurbishment work, one of Ranby’s oldest residents, Mrs Mavis Wollerton, BEM, cut the ribbon to declare Ranby Village Hall "open for business" in May 2017.
Extensive works have been undertaken to ensure the hall can be enjoyed by future generations of local people. The hall is an important focal point for the local community, who use it for a wide variety of activities.

COVID19 update, 13th August 2020 - When the lockdown happened, members of the Retford and District MS Family Support Group were quick to respond to the need to keep in touch with each other and continue where possible with physical activities where they could.
They soon discovered Zoom, which has been a lifeline to many members facing loneliness during the lockdown. Members without internet have been receiving regular phone calls and condensed versions of the group’s monthly newsletter to keep everyone involved, with the added section of MS family news where members have contributed sharing how the lockdown and other restrictions has affected their home life, how they are filling their time and, in many cases, limited members’ access to the family PC that has been taken over by home schooling.
The group Zoom calendar is fully booked for five days of the week and well supported by members taking part in social and movement therapy events consisting of seated Yoga, Tai Chi, dance and neuro Pilates as well as two quizzes a week devised by members, coffee and chat mornings and a men-only session.
The downside of the lockdown has been the cancellation of fundraising events the group always look forward to holding each year, and the planned Team Retford MS Pentathlon, when local people with MS and supporters raise money for Bassetlaw NHS neuro service, also had to be cancelled. Members were also looking forward to taking part, just for fun, in an indoor sky dive in September and it is very doubtful that will now be able to go ahead.
Anyone who is affected by Multiple Sclerosis is welcome to become part of the group and further details can be obtained from retford@mssociety.org.uk
Newcomers always welcome. We arrange a wide range of weekly & monthly events for members & include MS drop in clinic, monthly newsletter, self help info, signposting for professional help, fundraising for local MS community, art class, neuro physio based Pilates exercise, swim/flot sessions, mels out & a monthly coffee cake & chat morning.

Framework Housing Association- Brighter Futures
2 Queen Street, Worksop, Notts
Bassetlaw Brighter Futures service supports adults who are affected by a learning disability, autism or aquired brain injury to improve independence & wellbeing
Contact 2 Queen Street, Worksop, Notts
Email: bassetlawnass@frameworkha.org
Website: http://www.frameworkha.org/framework_near_me/1473_brighter_futures
Especially in a pandemic we believe everyone has the right to a better future.
Brighter Futures provides housing-related support for people in Nottinghamshire, who have a range of support needs and are at risk of losing their homes.
The service can support people who;
• have been assessed by Adult Health & Social Care but are ineligible for statutory services
• have a history that shows they might put their accommodation at risk without intervention and support
• have a need that is likely to require longer term but low level housing- related support.
We work with people who have a wide range of support needs, such as Autism, learning disabilities, Asperger’s or following a brain injury, or where they don’t meet the criteria for statutory adult social care, among others.
The service will be really flexible and service users will be able to have a say in how they are supported and what their needs are. We can help with finding accommodation, accessing specialist services, budgeting and claiming benefits among many other things.
We can offer support in a range of ways, which could include in own homes and in the community, to help maintain independence. The support is linked to the service user and not their tenancy, so if they move within Nottinghamshire we can continue to support them.
Based on the application, assessment and feedback that we receive from an agency, a member of the team will decide whether this service will be beneficial or not. If so they will be in contact within ten days of the referral.
If you would like to speak to anyone at Framework about the Brighter Futures service, you can contact the services in the areas below:

The service supports Victims and survivors to be resilient and in doing so are less likely to be re-victimised; empowered to cope and recover from crime and anti-social behaviour by timely and effective victim-centred support from local services, families and communities.
Victims do not have to report a crime to access the service. Victims of both recorded and self-reported crime are tracked at all points in their journey and given access to information, practical support and advice and where appropriate, referral to ‘cope, recover and empowerment’ support services in their local communities.
Victim CARE ensures that the support will be victim-centred and outcome focussed. It will ensure that the needs of the victim are considered and supported at every stage of the criminal justice process.
The service is provided by a team of experienced professional case workers, giving one to one support to victims of crime and ASB. The team is supported by a committed and highly trained team of volunteers. The aim is to improve victims’ experience with the criminal justice system and associated support services.
Victims of crime and anti-social behaviour benefit from enhanced help and support with a new-style service, designed around the needs of victims to help them cope and recover from their experience and empower them to become more resilient
Tailored emotional and practical support, advocacy and restorative justice determined through a ‘needs assessment’, focusing on the level of harm caused by the crime and the vulnerability of the victim.
A dedicated Caseworker providing one to one support to each victim, making it less stressful for them and reducing the number of times they are asked to tell their story
Access to restorative justice services arranged by the Caseworker, which could include facilitating dialogue with a person with a conviction. Restorative justice brings those harmed by crime or conflict and those responsible for the harm into communication, enabling everyone affected by a particular incident to play a part in repairing the harm and finding a positive way forward.

When you are going through a difficult time, it can be very easy to keep your worries to yourself and believe that you are the only one experiencing such painful feelings. While we all have our own ways of coping, information and support can make a huge difference.
Counselling Directory was set up by a team who know how difficult it can be to find the support and information you need. Being a team who between us have experienced various mental health issues, we know how it feels to be overwhelmed, isolated and somewhat lost.
Through our own experiences, we have learnt how important having relevant information is and how the right support can help transform lives.
Our journey inspired us to share what we have learnt along the way with others. Our team is passionate about counselling and we want to promote the huge benefits talking therapy can have. We know how important it is to find the right counsellor for you and we are dedicated to making that process as simple as possible.

Supporting someone during Covid-19
Checking in on your family, friends and colleagues is always important. But as the coronavirus pandemic continues, this is more important than ever.
Lots of us have felt worried about the coronavirus pandemic, and everyone will feel differently about the changes to lockdown restrictions.
If someone’s feeling anxious or worried, you don’t need to be an expert on mental health to support them. Think about using our three top tips:
1) Check in
If someone doesn’t feel ready to meet face-to-face, picking up the phone, having a video call, starting a group chat or messaging someone on social media lets them know you are there to talk and ready to listen.
2) Listen and reflect
Whether you have a mental health problem or not, this will be a challenging time for our mental health and wellbeing. If someone opens up to you, remember that you don't need to fix things or offer advice. Often just listening, and showing you take them seriously, can help someone to manage.
3) Ask questions
Ask how people are managing, and ask again if you're worried they aren't sharing the full picture. Asking again, with interest, can help someone to open up and explore what they're feeling.
If you are in need of mental health advice and information in relation to Covid-19, our partners Mind and Rethink Mental Illness have a number of resources at the bottom of our web page.
The Time to Change team is currently working from home in line with Government advice on Covid-19. This means we are unable to respond to calls, voicemails or post. To get in touch, please email our team.
Time to Change is a growing social movement working to change the way we all think and act about mental health problems. We've already reached millions of people and begun to improve attitudes and behaviour.
Despite the progress we’ve made, we know that many people still don’t consider mental health relevant to them. They don’t believe mental health problems are likely to affect them or people they know.
But the reality is that mental health can affect anyone. Statistically, 1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem in any given year. That’s why our work is so important. No one should have to fear being treated differently because of a mental health problem.
If you're looking for individual advice, information or support for you or someone else, unfortunately Time to Change can't provide that but there are lots of people who can - visit our Mental health help and support services page for a list of numbers to call.

At Girlguiding Nottinghamshire, we help girls reach their full potential...
With more than 9000 members, Girlguiding Nottinghamshire gives girls and young women space where they can grow, develop, build brilliant friendships, and make a positive difference to their lives and their communities. We may have been going for a long time but we continue to give girls and young women, of all backgrounds and faiths, an opportunity to make their voices heard so that they can realise their full potential to become dynamic members of the 21st century.
Whatever your daughters interests, whatever age - Girlguiding Nottinghamshire gives the chance to discover their full potential, give back to the local community, gain practical life skills and have fun with friendships that are built to last.
We are an inclusive organisation and will help any member to get the most out of their time with us. Guiding welcomes girls and adults with disabilities and its varied programme is flexible to allow most girls to participate. Every member of guiding makes a promise to do their best. If a girl or leader is willing to commit to the Promise – then they can become a member of Girlguiding UK.
Do come and join us if you have learning or physical special needs that limit your activities but not your hopes and achievements. Everyone is included and everyone does their best.
Everyone has their strengths and we aim to work with the abilities a person has and offer help if they need it. In guiding we encourage the girls to learn social skills, work together, be tolerant and respect diversity whilst carrying out the most important part of our philosophy – having fun! A girl with disabilities should be able to take as full a part as possible in her unit's activities. At the same time, the other girls’ requirements are taken into account so that the experience is a positive one for everyone.
We will do our best to find you a place in a local unit if possible but it would be helpful if parents discuss their daughter’s needs with the unit leader before she joins so that advice can be taken from the guiding Adviser for Members with Disabilities.

INTROTYL
By Anders Ekdahl May 25, 2017 May 25, 2017 Interviews
Mexican metal is something I’ve been enjoying since the 90s. Unfortunately I don’t get to experience it as often as I like but now and then a band like INTROTYL comes my way. Anders Ekdahl ©2017
You have one of these names that do not really tell what kind of metal you play. How hard was it to come up with the name?
-R- Is funny because we never thought about it. Introtyl is a hard word to remember ‘cause is an invented word (by the known mince core band Agathocles) so yeah, I think it would be easier for people to remember our name if it were usual, but at the same time, being an usual word wouldn’t represent what we wanted to. I think the meaning represent us, (in-trotyl) we consider that our music is very explosive, it makes you move your head and headbang a lot.
As I am sure of we are quite a few that are rather new to you guys could you give us a short introduction to the band?
R- We’re a Mexican death metal band born in 2009, we have been working hard to be known since the beginning to spread our music and reach all possible places, we love playing music that makes us happy and we love to know that someone likes it. We don’t pretend to be a “tough metal band” and look evil, we just love to play as loud as we can and enjoy this!
We all carry baggage with us that affects us in one way or another but what would you say have been the single greatest influence on your sound?
R- It is hard to define that because each one of us have different influences and taste in music but, I must say we converge in death metal bands such as Suffocation, Cryptopsy, Severe Torture, Bolt Thrower (at the beginning) and a big contrast: Hatebreed, most of all in guitars and bass sound because we love it. Our drummer loves Fleshwood apocalypse and Behemoth so he has different influences too. If you put all that in a blender it may be Introtyl hahaha.
What is the scene like in your area? Is it important that there is some sort of local scene for a band to develop or can a band still exist in a vacuum of no scene/no bands?
R- There are so many bands in Mexico and in Mexico City that has been real hard for us to have a respected place in the scene. We’ve been playing with several genres and to reach the respect we think we have now in (let’s be honest) a men industry was hard but totally worth it! We’re pretty known in Mexican death metal scene and we feel happy to achieve this!
Something I have often wondered about is if you feel that you are part of something bigger and greater when you play in a band, that you are part of a movement sort of?
-R- Of course! We are part of some important musical movement. When we know that someone, or few, or many people like our music we know we are being a part of someone’s life! It means so much for us, watching the mosh pit in every show we play is an amazing feeling, we realize then that someone is enjoying this and sharing our feeling! We think we could reach more people if we keep on working hard and having the support of the fans and media like you guys.
When you play the sort of music you play I guess you cannot have birds and bees on the cover of your album? What is a great album cover to you?
R- Hahaha we know that! Even tho we are girly haha. But yes, you have to keep a relation between the music gender and lyrics vs. artwork, for example in our first album the lyrics talks about a woman who has psychological disorders, so the artwork was definitely that way.
What is your opinion on digital versus physical? Is digital killing music?
R- We don’t think so, is a great tool to reach more places, but it depends what do you want. If you want to sale all your cd albums in physical and be exclusive is ok, but if you want to be listened everywhere and spread your noise (with our without revenues) is an amazing tool. Digital gave larger life to music maybe. And as we wrote in the last question, there is a relation between music and artwork, I love to open a booklet, read lyrics, look at the artwork and the smell the printed paper while the music is playing, I think you can get a specific idea of the band this way.
What kind of live scene is there for bands like yours?
R- The metal scene is huge in Mexico, there are so many bands (even if they last a short time or many years) that sometimes is so hard to know all of them, plus, there are so many awesome bands! We have been working hard to have a better organization, to make a better show for the audience, but the main problem are some promoters (of course there are super professional teams also), but the bad organization & the equipment in bad condition never helps, we think that here in Mexico there are awesome promoters and their professional work make bands sound great at shows, sometimes in Mexico City is not like this, but in general looks like live scene is getting more professional every time.
When you play live is it a happening or do you see it more as a party?
R- At the beginning you can’t help to feel nervous and anxious to make a great show and to play great, then, when we’re standing on stage it seems that everything turns great, quiet and then a rush comes, we play like to party, we enjoy every show and people share the same feeling so, most of our shows are great, they’re fun, with lots of mosh and energy.
What would you like to see the future bring?
R- We want to play outside of Mexico. We’re setting everything to start our first tour in June – July outside of our country so we’re super excited and hopefully this will bring more awesome things for the band, we want to spread our music all around the world and to keep working hard in order to achieve a place in metal world.

After a moment, she said, 'I can. But from what you've said, right now, Midori and the boy aren't in any danger. ' She took her hand off my leg. 'Well, it's not as though I was expecting us to figure out our crazy situation in just a few days together. It was going to take time no matter what. ' I looked at her. ' She shook her head. ' Then she laughed. ' 'Should I not have told you? ' 'You didn't ruin anything. I'm glad you told me. ' 'We enjoy the time we have together. ' But I didn't want it to be like always.
But she was pretty sure Rain would have killed him. Before going to bed, they'd made love again in the bath. She was glad of that, and took it as a good sign. They had a new situation to deal with, true, as it seemed they always did, but it didn't affect their fundamental chemistry. She hoped it wasn't the situations that were fueling the chemistry. She'd had affairs like that, where it was the illicitness, or the danger, or some similar thrill that kept the thing going. She didn't want that with Rain.
I looked at her. I didn't know what to say. 'I don't think it's a bad idea,' she said, still smiling gently. ' 'Sure. ' I sat down on the bed next to her. My heart started kicking harder. ' She put her hand on my thigh and squeezed. ' I had to tell her. And if I didn't tell her now, later it would seem like deceit. ' The pressure from her hand lessened. ' I asked. My words were coming out fast, but I couldn't slow them down. 'The night you told me about Dov. ' 'Well, it looks like, the last time I was with her, which was before I met you, we didn't… we weren't that careful.

EXCLUSIVE Dark Horse Series Announcement: Midnight Society: The Black Lake
News, Previews
We are delighted to give you a first look at Midnight Society: The Black Lake, the first creator-owned series by Drew Edward Johnson (who worked with Greg Rucka on Wonder Woman) that combines science fiction, secret agencies, and monsters all in one epic miniseries.
In Drew’s own words, here’s what you have to look forward to:
“Midnight Society: the Black Lake is my take on classic pulp stories of adventurers, mystery men and women, pseudo-science, spies, and monsters—all rolled together and set in the modern era. Each issue is a journey that will lead the reader to moments that crackle with wonder, suspense, mystery, and all-out action. My goal in creating this series was to show the reader things they truly haven’t seen before, while embracing the classic adventure tropes of comics, novels and films that constantly fuel my imagination. MS:TBL aims to give our audience a unique experience, one that will keep them returning to the book again and again to discover new things hidden in its pages.
“Working on Midnight Society, I found that knowing the characters in this story were my own, they spoke to me differently than the many franchised, company-owned characters that I’ve worked with over the years. I have the first word in the characters’ destinies, and I can hear their voices with a truer clarity–they’re coming from me, and not through a filter of hundreds of adventures told over many years by other people. Creator-owned comics offer a kind of freedom of imagination I’ve never experienced before.
“I began my career in comics working with Dark Horse on Star Wars: X-Wing: Rogue Squadron. To bring my first creator-owned project to Dark Horse Comics is a great home-coming for me. Especially given the opportunity to work with my editor, Philip Simon, who I had the good fortune of working with in the early days of my career. I’m thrilled and honored to join Dark Horse’s line of genre bending horror/adventure books like Hellboy, BPRD, The Goon, and so many more, which have all influenced my work heavily over the years.”

Unwanted Heritage (by Irena Skoric)
‘Thousands of monuments were built throughout the former Yugoslavia in the 1945–1990 period to commemorate the sites where World War II battles had been fought. Many of these monuments were of a high artistic value, having been designed by some of our most prominent artists. However, since the 1990s, a great number of these monuments in Croatia, including some of the highest artistic value, have been destroyed and razed to the ground. Once proud monuments were turned into ruins and now they are a testament to our neglected and unwanted cultural and political heritage. Through images and testimonies of witnesses, experts and politicians, as well as the people who used to sell pieces of monuments as secondary material, Unwanted Heritage talks about the fate of works of art that had been turned into waste, but also about a society that has disowned its history and valuable art.’ (Film Director)

Musical Traumas (by Milos Tomic)
Musical Traumas came to fruition as the result of the director’s obsession with music schools. It is a rhythmic compilation of traumatic, but amusing confessions of former students, as well as an attempt to visualise music with scrumptious, hand-drawn animation. The experiences may be documentary, but the image comes straight from the world of musical impressions.

Jelena’s repertoire is made up of Jazz-Pop rhythms and songs from old animated films as well as her interpretations of other songs. While Lady Jelena keeps a simple rhythm on guitar or ukulele, Andrej Martinovic will back it up with joyful solos and complicated keyboard harmonies.

Nina has already published four albums and her music was nominated for the 2014 Impala Award European Independent Album, and then for Porin Award for Best Christmas Album. She is a spirited performer with powerful vocals and will be joined on stage by an accordion player.

Main Street Program Information
The Texas Main Street Program began in 1981. Affiliated with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Texas Main Street Program is among the most successful downtown revitalization programs in the nation.
Each year, the Texas Historical Commission selects up to five Texas cities and urban areas as Texas Main Street Cities. The Texas Historical Commission selected Pilot Point as one of three Texas Main Street cities for the year 2002. Selected communities are eligible to receive a range of services.
Pilot Point retains the viability, the structural design and the values of an historic small Texas town, while reaping the advantages of its proximity to the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex.
Pilot Point sustains the essential elements of small town living by preserving and celebrating its past, revitalizing its existing structures and, at the same time, fostering an environment of entrepreneurialism.
Pilot Point succeeds through pragmatic historic preservation, rigorous zoning and code enforcement, ingenious marketing and resourceful financial engineering.
Pilot Point thinks bigger than its physical size. We promote and safeguard our surrounding horse industry, encourage the conscientious use of our lake and, most of all, preserve and revitalize our historic town square and surrounding district.
Pilot Point protects and cultivates an incomparable sense of place, our most treasured asset.
With this vision Pilot Point is a wonderful home for current residents, an appealing alternative for future inhabitants and distinctive destination for visitors.
The Pilot Point Main Street Program will use the 4-point approach to revitalization (organization, promotion, design, and economic vitality) to encourage reinvestment and preservation of the historic downtown area.
Texas Historical Commission Staff
Advises communities on heritage tourism programs and marketing.
Consults with downtown merchants about visual merchandising and window display.
Coordinates ongoing comprehensive training for Main Street managers and board members.
Identifies and assists with architectural elements, such as facade drawings, and educates building owners in proper maintenance techniques.
Provides a three-day, on-site evaluation and full report with recommendations.
Trains communities in successful economic development approaches.

make changes to the principal place of business and contact details

HMRC close in on ‘tax cheats’
HMRC have launched an advertising campaign warning ‘tax cheats’ to declare all their income before it is too late.
The campaign is part of HMRC’s targeted approach to help taxpayers pay the right amount of tax, at the right time. Guidance is available at www.gov.uk/sortmytax.
David Gauke, Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, said:
‘Most people play by the rules and pay what they owe, but HMRC is cracking down on those who don’t. Using the £917 million the government has made available to tackle avoidance, evasion and fraud, HMRC is closing in on tax cheats.’
‘It always makes sense to declare all your income and tax dodgers are simply storing up trouble for the future; getting caught means higher fines, and in the most serious cases criminal prosecution. There is an alternative. Simply visit the new website and make a fresh start.’
Internet link: HMRC press release
HMRC announce latest targets
HMRC have launched new taskforces to tackle ‘tax cheats’ in the following sectors:
the rag trade (manufacturing, wholesale, retail and textile recycling in the Midlands, North Wales and the North West)
the Scottish alcohol industry and
the rental property sector in the South East.
David Gauke, the Exchequer Secretary, said:
‘The vast majority of people play by the rules. We will not tolerate tax evasion and will crack down on the minority who choose to break the rules.’
‘It cannot be fair that, while most people are paying the right tax, a tiny minority are not paying what they should.’
‘HMRC is on target to collect more than £50 million as a result of taskforces launched in 2011/12.’
Press release on the rag trade Press release on alcohol industry Press release on rental property
Updated approach to Business Records Checks
HMRC have announced an updated approach to business records checks.
Following a pilot programme of Business Records Checks (BRC), which looked at the records of in excess of three thousand SMEs, HMRC have amended their approach to these checks.
Businesses which HMRC believe are more likely to be at risk of having inadequate records will initially be contacted by letter. HMRC will then phone the business to go through a short questionnaire.
Depending on the outcome of this phone call, HMRC will subsequently confirm to some businesses that no further action is required. Where some issues are identified, businesses will be offered targeted self-help education options.
HMRC have confirmed that where businesses are assessed as being at risk of keeping inadequate records they will be referred for a BRC visit.
Please let us know if HMRC contact you about a BRC.
Internet link: HMRC BRC
VAT registration threshold no longer due to those not established in the UK
A decision in the European Court of Justice has confirmed that only businesses established in a Member State can benefit from its domestic VAT registration threshold.
As a consequence, from 1 December 2012, ‘non-established taxable persons’ (NETPs) will no longer be able to benefit from the UK VAT registration threshold. This means that they will be required to register for UK VAT when they make their first supply of goods or services in the UK regardless of the value.
NETPs already making supplies here will be required to register for UK VAT with effect from 1 December 2012.
As detailed in the HMRC guidance:
‘From 1 December 2012, any non-established business which makes or intends to make taxable supplies in the next 30 days has 30 days from the date it formed that intention to notify HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) that it is required to register for VAT. Businesses which become required to register in the UK on 1 December 2012 will have to notify HMRC of that fact by 30 December 2012.’
Please contact us if you have any concerns in this area.

Parties for employees
With the season for office parties fast approaching we thought it would be a good idea to remind you of the tax implications. The good news is that, unlike entertaining customers, the costs of entertaining employees are generally allowable against the profits of the business.
But what about the tax consequences for the employees themselves? Is it a perk of their jobs and will they have to pay tax on a benefit?
Generally, as long as the total costs of all employee annual functions in a tax year are less than £150 per attendee (VAT inclusive) there will be no tax implications for the employees themselves. In considering this limit make sure you have included all the costs, which may include not only the meal itself but also any drinks, entertainment, transport and accommodation that you provide.
If the costs are above the £150 limit then the full cost will be taxable on the employee. In that case do get in touch so we can advise you how best to deal with them.
Internet link: HMRC guidance
Simpler health and safety guidance
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has launched an online ‘Health and Safety Toolbox’ aimed at smaller, low-risk businesses. It is hoped that the Toolbox, which can be accessed from the right hand side of the HSE’s home page, will make it quicker and easier for small businesses to find the information that applies to their industry. This should enable them to manage health and safety issues themselves, without the need to use health and safety consultants.
Employment Minister Mark Hoban said:
‘Small and low risk businesses should be focusing their time on growing and becoming a success not having to waste precious time and money on unnecessary bureaucracy. This Toolbox will make it quick and simple for businesses to discover everything they need to know about health and safety.’
Internet links: Press release HSE website
More flexibility in the leave available to parents
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has announced that parents will be able to share up to 12 months leave after the birth of a child from 2015.
The plans will allow working parents to take up to 52 weeks off in total either together or in separate blocks and will be more flexible than the current system.
Nick Clegg said:
‘Reform is long overdue and the changes we are making will shatter the perception that women have to be the primary care-givers.’
‘In the future, both mothers and fathers will be able to take control of how they balance those precious first months with their child and their careers.’
Internet link: BIS top stories
Payroll RTI system ‘unrealistic’
The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) has warned that the RTI reporting system will be ‘at best unrealistic and at worst impossible’ for small employers. This is despite HMRC publishing proposals explaining when employers will be allowed up to an extra seven days to send some information to HMRC.
Frank Haskew, head of ICAEW Tax Faculty, said:
‘We are particularly concerned about the impact this will have on smaller businesses, which are the lifeblood of the UK economy and essential if the UK is to continue to grow.’
Under the RTI, employers will have to submit payroll information to HMRC electronically on or before every payday, with potential penalties applying to employers submitting returns late.
The ICAEW suggestion is that HMRC move the RTI return date to the 19th of the month following the tax month of payment, which is the same as the current PAYE due date, being familiar to employers.
RTI is compulsory for most employers from April 2013.
We will keep you informed of developments.
Internet link: ICAEW press release
Improving gender diversity in boardrooms
The CBI commented on proposals from the European Commission, aimed at achieving a better gender balance in the boardrooms of some European companies. The proposals apply to companies listed on stock exchanges in EU’s Member States.
Katja Hall, CBI Chief Policy Director, said:
‘Businesses will be relieved that the Commission has listened to their concerns. These new proposals rightly focus on the need to improve boardroom diversity, while allowing firms to recruit the best candidates from the widest possible talent pool. MEPs should get behind this approach.’
‘Increasing the number of women in boardrooms is important for businesses, who know that gender diversity brings greater creativity, higher performance and better customer insight. That is why firms are already taking action to increase the flow of women to the top, such as targeting mentoring schemes at women and offering flexible working.’
Internet links: CBI press release Europa press release
The government has announced proposals to make it quicker and cheaper to make improvements to homes and business premises.
The proposals would mean that, for a limited period, much of the red tape required to complete a planning application for a small-scale, single-story extension would be removed. It has been confirmed that the current safeguards that ensure neighbours and communities are not adversely affected will remain in force. The proposals will also not apply to protected areas or listed buildings.

In this month’s enews we report on various issues including the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement and HMRC’s latest targets. Please contact us if you would like any further details on any of the issues covered.
Autumn Statement New HMRC Taskforces
VAT and duty on shopping Parties for employees
Consultation – have your say Fighting Customs and Excise fraud and tax evasion
Unemployment rises to 2.62 million EU VAT registration letter scam
Autumn Statement
On Tuesday 29 November the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) published its updated forecast for the UK economy. Chancellor George Osborne responded to that forecast in a statement to the House of Commons later on that day.
The Chancellor emphasised that the OBR does not predict a recession in Britain but they have revised down their short term growth prospects for the country. He also made clear that the OBR central forecast assumes ‘the euro finds a way through the current crisis’.
The Autumn Statement sets out the actions the government will take in two main areas:
protecting the economy and
building a stronger economy for the future.
In order to maintain economic stability and meet its fiscal rules, the government will:
set plans for public spending in 2015/16 and 2016/17 in line with the spending reductions over the Spending Review 2010 period
raise the State Pension age to 67 between April 2026 and April 2028
set public sector pay awards at an average of 1% for each of the two years after the current pay freeze comes to an end.
The growth plans include the publication of a National Infrastructure Plan 2011. The plan sets out a pipeline of over 500 infrastructure projects.
Other announcements include:
Credit easing
In order to free up lending to business, the government is launching a package of measures worth up to £21 billion to ease the flow of credit to businesses. This includes up to £20 billion for the National Loan Guarantee Scheme and £1 billion for the Business Finance Partnership.
Small business rate relief holiday
The government will extend the current small business rate relief holiday for a further six months from 1 October 2012 and also give businesses the opportunity to defer 60% of the increase in their 2012/13 business rate bills.
In an attempt to make it easier to ‘hire and fire’, the government intends to:
look for ways to provide a quicker and cheaper alternative to a tribunal hearing in simple cases by introducing a ‘Rapid Resolution’ scheme
complete a call for evidence on the impact of reducing the collective redundancy process for redundancies of 100 or more staff from the current 90 days to 60, 45 or 30 days.
Youth Contract
A number of measures under the heading of a ‘Youth Contract’ will be introduced including government funding of:
wage incentives for 160,000 young people to make it easier for private sector employers to take them on
at least 40,000 incentive payments for small firms to take on young apprentices.
This is a new tax relief which will be introduced from 6 April 2012. It will provide income tax relief at 50% in respect of investment in a small company whose total assets before the investment are less than £200,000. The relief will be limited to investments of up to £150,000 in each company and a maximum of £100,000 investment for an individual. In addition an individual who makes a capital gain in 2012/13 and reinvests some or all of the gain in a SEIS company in the same year will obtain exemption from capital gains tax for the sum invested.
Tax treatment of asset-backed pension contributions
Rules are to be introduced from 29 November 2011 to limit tax relief for employers who enter into arrangements to make asset-backed contributions into their pension schemes. The new rules will ensure that the tax relief obtained more accurately reflects the actual costs to the employer.
Further announcements expected
It is also expected that large amounts of draft legislation for the Finance Bill 2012 will be issued for consultation on 6 December 2011.
We will update you on significant announcements in next month’s enews.

New HMRC Taskforces
Five new taskforces have been set up to tackle tax evasion in different areas of the country. The new HMRC taskforces will target:
scrap metal dealers in Scotland
construction traders who are self employed or run their own company who suppress sales or over-claim expenses in the North West and North Wales
taxpayers not submitting their statutory returns across Corporation Tax, Income Tax Self Assessment, PAYE and VAT in the South East
fast food outlets deliberately falsifying their records and mis-declaring their true sales levels to avoid paying the correct taxes in Scotland, and
landlords – owning or renting three or more properties – evading their tax responsibilities in North West and North Wales.

VAT and duty on shopping
Angela Shephard, Head of Customs Policy, HMRC is warning individuals not to get caught out by ‘unexpected charges when you are shopping for Christmas bargains this year’.
‘If you are going abroad to do Christmas shopping, or buying goods online from non-EU countries, you need to know how much you can buy before you have to pay import duty or VAT.’
‘We know many people like to go abroad at this time to buy their Christmas gifts, or buy online from non-EU countries, and think that the ‘cheaper’ price they see is always the price they finally pay. HMRC is keen to remind the general public how much they can actually bring back from abroad or buy from an online overseas seller without having to pay import duty or VAT.’
‘You don’t want to be faced with unexpected extra charges, when you thought you had found a bargain.’
HMRC advise that:
Arriving in the UK by commercial sea or air transport from a non-EU country, you can bring in up to £390 worth of goods for personal use without paying customs duty or VAT (excluding tobacco and alcohol, which have separate allowances, and fuel). Detailed information on the non-EU limits can be found at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/customs/arriving/arrivingnoneu.htm
Should you buy goods over the internet or by mail order from outside the EU, you will have to pay VAT if the value of the package is over £15.
If the goods are over £135 in value, customs duty may also be due, although this will depend on what they are and where they have been sent from. Where, however, the actual amount of duty due is less than £9, this will not be charged.
If someone sends you a gift from outside the EU, import VAT will only be due if the package is valued at over £40. To qualify as a gift, the item must be sent from one private individual to another, with no money changing hands.
Please note that excise duty is always due on all alcohol and tobacco products purchased online or by mail order.
The spirits or tobacco products, there are no limits on the amounts of duty and tax paid goods you can bring back personally from another EU country, as long as they are for your own use.
Consultation – have your say
The government has launched a consultation, ‘Modernising the administration of the personal tax system’. They would like to hear interested parties views on a number of issues regarding the personal tax system.
‘This consultation seeks feedback and ideas for how the administration of the personal tax system could be improved to achieve better understanding and make it easier for taxpayer to deal with it.’

Fighting Customs and Excise fraud and tax evasion
HMRC are asking for information to help them tackle Customs and Excise fraud and tax evasion.
The HMRC guide explains ‘how you can help HMRC by either telling them about your suspicions, or give information that will help stop people committing fraud, bringing goods into the UK that they shouldn’t or deliberately not paying tax’.

Unemployment rises to 2.62 million
The CBI commented on official data showing unemployment rose by 129,000 to 2.62 million in the three months to September 2011, including a rise in youth unemployment to over a million.
John Cridland, CBI Director-General, said:
‘These figures underline why we need urgent action to help our young people take their first steps in the labour market. A generation risks being scarred by the devastating effects of long-term unemployment.
We are calling for action for jobs now, with a clear plan to get the UK working, focusing on our young people.’

Pakistani Poker: Playing Saudi Arabia against China
Dragging China into the all but open war between Saudi Arabia and Iran
■ James M. DORSEY
Desperate for funding to fend off a financial crisis fuelled in part by mounting debt to China, Pakistan is playing a complicated game of poker that could hand Saudi Arabia a strategic victory in its bitter feud with Iran at the People’s Republic’s expense.
A podcast version of this story is available on Soundcloud, Stitcher, TuneIn and Tumblr.
The Pakistani moves threaten a key leg of the $60 bln [*] plus Chinese investment in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a crown jewel of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s Belt and Road initiative.
They also could jeopardize Chinese hopes to create a second overland route to Iran, a key node in China’s transportation links to Europe. Finally, they grant Saudi Arabia a prominent place in the Chinese-funded port of Gwadar that would significantly weaken Iran’s ability to compete with its Indian-backed seaport of Chabahar.

Taken together, the moves risk dragging not only Pakistan but also China into the all but open war between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
Pakistan’s first move became evident in early September with the government’s failure to authorise disbursements for road projects, already hit by delays in Chinese approvals, that are part of CPEC’s Western route, linking the province of Balochistan with the troubled region of Xinjiang in north-western China.
In doing so, Pakistan implicitly targeted a key Chinese driver for CPEC: the pacification of Xinjiang’s Turkic Muslim population through a combination of economic development enhanced by trade and economic activity flowing through CPEC as well as brutal repression and mass re-education.
The combination of Pakistani and Chinese delays “has virtually brought progress work on the Western route to a standstill”, a Western diplomat in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad said.
Pakistani Railways Minister Sheikh Rashid, in a further bid to bring Pakistani government expenditure under control that at current rates could force the country to seek a $12 bln bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), has cut $2 bln from the $8.2 bln budget to upgrade and expand Pakistan’s railway network, a key pillar of CPEC. Mr. Rashid plans to slash a further two billion dollars.
“Pakistan is a poor country that cannot afford (the) huge burden of the loans […] CPEC is like the backbone for Pakistan, but our eyes and ears are open”, Mr. Rashid said.
The budget cuts came on the back of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party projecting CPEC prior to the July 25 election that swept him to power to as a modern-day equivalent of the British East India Company, which dominated the Indian subcontinent in the 19th century.
PTI criticism included denouncing Chinese-funded mass transit projects in three cities in Punjab as a squandering of funds that could have better been invested in social spending. PTI activists suggested that the projects had involved corrupt practices.
Gwadar Port
Pakistan’s final move was to invite Saudi Arabia to build a refinery in Gwadar and invest in Balochistan mining. Chinese questioning of Pakistan’s move was evident when the Pakistani government backed off suggestions that Saudi Arabia would become part of CPEC.
Senior Saudi officials this week visited Islamabad and Gwadar to discuss the deal that would also involve deferred payments on Saudi oil supplies to Pakistan and create a strategic oil reserve close to Iran’s border.
“The incumbent government is bringing Saudi Arabia closer to Gwadar. In other words, the hardline Sunni-Wahhabi state would be closer than ever to the Iranian border. This is likely to infuriate Tehran”, said Baloch politician and former Pakistani ports and shipping minister Mir Hasil Khan Bizenjo.
Pakistan’s game of poker amounts to a risky gamble that serves Pakistani and Saudi purposes, puts China whose prestige and treasure are on the line in a difficult spot, could perilously spark tension along the Pakistan-Iran border, and is likely to provoke Iranian counter moves. It also risks putting Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Iran, who depend on China economically in different ways, in an awkward position.
The Saudi engagement promises up to $10 bln in investments as well as balance of payments relief. It potentially could ease US concerns that a possible IMF bailout would help Pakistan service debt to China.
A refinery and strategic oil reserve in Gwadar would serve Saudi Arabia’s goal of preventing Chabahar, the Indian-backed Iranian port, from emerging as a powerful Arabian Sea hub at a time that the United States is imposing sanctions designed to choke off Iranian oil exports.
A Saudi think tank, the International Institute for Iranian Studies, previously known as the Arabian Gulf Centre for Iranian Studies (AGCIS) that is believed to be backed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, argued last year in a study that Chabahar posed “a direct threat to the Arab Gulf states” that called for “immediate counter measures.”
Written by Mohammed Hassan Husseinbor, an Iranian political researcher of Baloch origin, the study warned that Chabahar would enable Iran to increase its oil market share in India at the expense of Saudi Arabia, raise foreign investment in the Islamic republic, increase government revenues, and allow Iran to project power in the Gulf and the Indian Ocean.
Mr. Husseinbor suggested that Saudi support for a low-level Baloch insurgency in Iran could serve as a countermeasure. “Saudis could persuade Pakistan to soften its opposition to any potential Saudi support for the Iranian Baluch […] The Arab-Baluch alliance is deeply rooted in the history of the Gulf region and their opposition to Persian domination”, Mr. Husseinbor said.
Noting the vast expanses of Iran’s Sistan and Baluchestan Province, Mr. Husseinbor went on to say that “it would be a formidable challenge, if not impossible, for the Iranian government to protect such long distances and secure Chabahar in the face of widespread Baluch opposition, particularly if this opposition is supported by Iran’s regional adversaries and world powers.”
Saudi militants reported at the time the study was published that funds from the kingdom were flowing into anti-Shiite, anti-Iranian Sunni Muslim ultra-conservative madrassas or religious seminaries in Balochistan.
US President Donald J. Trump’s national security advisor, John Bolton, last year before assuming office, drafted at the request of Mr. Trump’s then strategic advisor, Steve Bannon, a plan that envisioned US support “for the democratic Iranian opposition”, including in Balochistan and Iran’s Sistan and Balochistan province.
All of this does not bode well for CPEC. China may be able to accommodate Pakistan by improving commercial terms for CPEC-related projects and Pakistani debt as well as easing Pakistani access to the Chinese market. China, however, is likely to find it far more difficult to prevent the Saudi-Iranian rivalry from spinning out of control in its backyard. ■

When Beach Energy wanted to adopt new technology, they partnered with industry experts, Forge Works to help them navigate new and unchartered operational and regulatory seas.
In search of safer sight lines
Australia’s leading mid-cap oil and gas company, Beach Energy has a vision for introducing new technology – namely, drones or Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems (RPAS) – to assist with its broad acre surveillance of large linear pipeline assets.
While drones are already used in line-of-sight operations to inspect physical infrastructure, this new capability extends the capacity of drones to operate beyond line of sight – this poses a challenge to current regulations and how the end users can operationalise this capability.
In Australia, drones are also referred to as Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). These and RPAS are governed by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and there’s great constraint around how they can be used within a beyond visual line of sight operating regime.
As Australia’s second largest oil producer, Beach Energy hopes to replace manned aircraft surveillance operations with RPAS to eliminate the threats helicopter pilots face when flying at low levels to inspect pipelines, as well as avoiding the cost of using high specification turbine-powered aircraft.
Forge Works was engaged to provide support and guidance to Beach Energy around navigating this complex regulatory environment and the broader industry at large.
Beach Energy has ownership interests in assets such as the Lang Lang Gas Plant in Gippsland and the Otway Gas Plant near Port Campbell, both in Victoria. It has a regulatory obligation to regularly inspect its pipelines and easements. These requirements mandate visual inspections.
An inspection program reliant on RPAS in this environment would be operating further than human sight-line capabilities. This brings the added challenge of relying on other technology systems to manage the obligations to other airspace users to identify where a system is flying, and to de-conflict it with other aircraft that may be operating in the vicinity.
RPAS are at the forefront of rapidly changing technology and this includes a rapidly changing regulatory landscape. Negative public perceptions only add to the challenges, particularly when operating drones in rural regions and over farms.
Forge Works partnered with Beach Energy to help them understand the operational and safety implications of their activities and to determine the benefits of working with new technology like RPAS within the constraints of their technical safety compliance requirements.
With Sean MacGregor, one of Australia’s leading experts in aviation safety, and commercial and operational concepts guiding the process, Beach Energy is now on the way to establishing a standard for how they and the industry in this region might use this technology.
When organisations want to change and innovate – to embrace new technology that makes their operations safer and more efficient – they often find it difficult to navigate the operational challenges, safety risks or regulatory frameworks governing these practices.
Changing the way work has traditionally been performed can be difficult, but by partnering with Forge Works, Beach Energy is learning how to traverse these new and significant shifts in the way they run their business.
Working with contractor groups, suppliers and the company as a whole, Forge Works is helping to ensure outcomes are appropriate for all stakeholders when it comes to applying new technology in different operating contexts.
As a result, Beach Energy is much closer to realising the safety and commercial benefits of deploying this technology within their operations.
Building safety awareness at work It's important to look broadly when trying to sustainably improve safety after a major incident
Work practices on the high wire Cutting back significant amounts of safety documentation is a real challenge
Making sense of safety standards Organisations opertate under complex safety legislation and need to translate that into effective procedures for their critical risks

Singapore firm to invest Rs 70 cr in Barasat based agri-lab
A Singapore-based company has decided to invest Rs 70 crore after entering into a partnership with EFRAC (Edward Food Research and Analysis Centre) laboratory at Barasat in North 24 Parganas.
The discussion with the Singapore based company Mandala Capital Limited that focuses on long term investment in the food and agri sector in the Indian sub-continent had initiated during the Chief Minister’s Singapore visit. Moreover, there was also a discussion on the matter during the Bengal Global Business Summit.
Dr Amit Mitra, the state finance minister, said that at present, 68 scientists work in the laboratory. With the investment, the number will go up to 150 and in the next three to four years there will around 300 to 400 scientists working in the laboratory.
The money will be utilised in bringing further development in infrastructure and capabilities of the laboratory. The group also has a plan to further invest the equal amount of money after it’s initially success.

Coronavirus Fears Have People With Asthma, Emphysema Avoiding the ER
TUESDAY, April 21, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Doctors are increasingly worried that people are mistaking stay-at-home orders to mean they should avoid emergency medical care -- including for serious lung diseases.
People with chronic lung conditions, such as emphysema and moderate to severe asthma, are among those at higher risk of becoming seriously ill with COVID-19. And medical experts have been urging them to be vigilant about protecting themselves.
But now a new concern is surfacing: Are people being scared away from needed medical care?
"We've been noticing it anecdotally in our practice," said Dr. Koushik Kasanagottu, an internal medicine resident at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore.
He shared the example of one patient, a woman with emphysema, who on a recent morning woke with shortness of breath. She used her "rescue" inhaler medication -- a standard way to manage a symptom exacerbation -- but it didn't help.
Still, fears over COVID-19 kept her from seeking emergency medical attention. Eventually, her sister did call 911. But by the time she reached the hospital her condition had worsened to the point that she needed a ventilator.
"The concern is definitely there," said Dr. Albert Rizzo, chief medical officer of the American Lung Association. "Some people might think twice about going to the hospital, rely on their rescue medications, and try to tough it out."
It is, of course, understandable that people would fear exposure to the coronavirus, or hesitate to add to the influx of patients into hospitals, Kasanagottu said. But delaying needed medical care is clearly dangerous -- as the case of his patient shows.
Lung specialists are not the only ones worried that their patients' care could suffer during the pandemic. Cardiologists believe that people are hesitating to act on symptoms of heart attack or stroke -- possibly leading to fatal delays in care.
Last week, the American College of Cardiology's CardioSmart.org website launched an education campaign urging the public not to "ignore" heart attack or stroke warning signs.
That came on the heels of a study looking at nine large U.S. hospitals. At each hospital, the number of patients being treated for a heart attack had dropped significantly since March 1. The reasons are not clear, but the researchers speculated that fear of the ER could be keeping people from calling 911.
For people with lung disease, the symptoms of an exacerbation -- shortness of breath, coughing -- can be similar to those of COVID-19, Kasanagottu said.
But either way, he added, they need attention. If the symptoms are not severe, patients can call their primary care doctor to talk about the next step, Kasanagottu said. But if breathing is difficult, or the symptoms are worsening, he said, call 911.
The "threshold" for calling 911, though, will differ from person to person, according to Rizzo. Someone who lives alone may need help sooner than someone who has a "trusted caregiver," he said.
It's also critical that people with lung disease, or any chronic medical condition, continue to receive routine care, Kasanagottu said. If that falls by the wayside, more people may suffer exacerbations and end up in the hospital -- which everyone wants to avoid.
Telemedicine visits have become widely available for routine care, Kasanagottu said. He added, however, that it's not enough. While many hospitals have been overrun, primary care clinics are also feeling the surge -- fielding concerns about COVID-19 along with trying to keep up routine care for patients' chronic conditions.
Meanwhile, some medical centers have pulled resources, including staff, from those outpatient clinics to help deal with the COVID-19 surge.
"Hospitals should be careful that they're not too aggressive in diverting resources away from primary care clinics," Kasanagottu said.
For now, Rizzo recommended that people with lung disease review their "action plan" with their doctor -- that is, what they should do if their symptoms flare. They should also have a couple months' worth of medication on hand, he said.
Some patients, according to Rizzo, have wondered whether their steroid medications -- used to control airway inflammation -- could put them at greater risk of COVID-19 by dampening their immune system.
But there is currently no evidence of that, and stopping preventive medications could allow the lung disease to worsen, Rizzo stressed.
"In general, people should maintain their normal medications to keep their disease stable," he said.
The American Lung Association has more on COVID-19.

How POC21 is tackling climate change in a new direction
septembre 24th, 2015 Posted by HDG Art numérique, Energie et réseaux, Evénement, Matériaux, Objet et savoir-faire No Comment yet
An innovation camp for open source sustainability.
There are encounters that change the course of our lives. As volunteer of POC21 team, it was a great pleasure to participate at first steps of an amazing achievement, made possible by the strong implication of an international community of +100 makers, designers, architects, engineers, scientists, social innovators and many other volunteers. This experience could bring a few bold and smart practices of life-changing to everyone, showing how everything is connected to protect the planet.
POC21: sustainability is a core purpose
The headquarters of ecologic hacking has found a place this summer in a 16th century castle, at less than one hour from Paris, reinventing during 5 weeks the near future by prototyping the fossil free, a zero waste society. POC21 (Proof Of Concept) echoing the COP21 has had indeed the mission to prototype 12 open-source projects for sustainable living in different fields: housing, food, mobility, energy… many sectors in which we can take actions to reduce global warming.
A collaborative and open approach
POC21 won the bet with a radically different approach: finding passionate people and bringing together talents and skills in the most open and collaborative way. The idea was not to sequester the team in a summer camp but to share willingness and responsibilities. It allows people to bring ideas, help validate hypotheses, build features and prototypes that feed the solutions. Even if POC21 connects multiple people, with various partners, all have a common and clear understanding of challenges about climate change. They work closely with others to find innovative solutions in a constructive and positive way.
Living and working together during 5 weeks, the stress and the tiredness levels may be high, but support each other with smiles and random acts of goodness have been helpful to move forward in the most natural way. For example, POC21 members always try to communicate and to emphasize a good experience or expertise. They are striving for solutions, and try to inspire others to do the same.
Keep it simple, shape social experience and respect everyone
One of the key values at POC21 was making the organization easier as possible for everyone to let them really focus on what matters: deliver the proof of concept enabling a fossil-free, resource-efficient society. There were a lot of social tools to help the community thinking and doing in the spirit of open source and to get things delivered or shared features in an agile approach.
As we know that within the environment, behavior can influence the mood and the atmosphere, it was also important to define social norms to make sure that everybody is taking part in the adventure, that each person can bring something good for collective progress. That’s why it was a unique creative process with mentoring sessions, sprints, reality checks, retrospectives, campfire chats and more tools to communicate and work together.
The power of connections
POC21 has taken one of the biggest challenges facing humanity today, which is how we want to live on this planet in a way it can sustain. POC21 has created a system innovation as a unique set of strengths: strengths to rely on local providers, to rely on partners ready to follow the ambitious vision of the founders, to join a team coming from anywhere, to find the best way to live in harmony with nature.
These people could make locally a global and significant impact to reach better future through sustainable design and the open source mindset. POC21 has been leading project with a sense of humanity, found more synergies and cross-fertilizations among different disciplines, as a new way of creating, working and living.
12 projects have been selected: why do we need them?
Food, water, housing, energy and transportation systems are all facing critical challenges as impacts of climate changes. That’s why POC21 has selected some projects able to reduce C02 emissions, to make a more resilient world.
Sometimes, you just need to try something, see what works and move forward. Anyway, execution is critical: each project here has high quality standard both in their conception and execution. Just a few examples to show the amazing creativity of those projetcs:
SHOWERLOOP reduces drastically both the water consumption and the energy to heat the water. A filtration system cleans shower water in real time, reducing the amount of water and the energy used to heat that water by five to ten fold or more.
SOLAROSE brings the concentrated solar power in the hands of entrepreneurs, small farms and factories, empowering them to autonomously produce the energy they need directly from the sun. Easy to build, the solar concentrator combines the most cost-effective technology and the lightest possible structure.
FAIRCAP is a portable tiny antibacterial water filter that could be screwed into any plastic bottle. It allows you to safely drink from a stream, lake or water pond. Faircap came up with an open source, 3D printable filter system that only costs around $1 to make.
NAUTILE combines bioengineering and industrial design: discover the interview of Gullian Graves, one of the designers : see this article
The diversity of those 12 projects is real, discover them all here.
A starting point
Seeing all those great findings, we feel astonished: it’s just common sense, why not having already created, built and launched all those major creative concepts? What do we learn? A real change is definitively possible on a large scale. “Imagine a society where collaboration is the new competition, where free wisdom beats intellectual property and business works in harmony with nature again, not exploiting its resources” said Daniel Kruse, POC21 co-founder.
POC21 challenges are critical, we’re all living in a more and more global society where solutions have to be found together. Adaptation, solidarity and determination are key to successfully carry out initiatives for a sustainable future.
Just a few suggestions: embrace the breed of open source movement, foster new collaborations and long-term relationships, turn intention into to action like this community did so far! Finally, as Stan Allen outlines about material practices in the new ecology field: “it is important not to focus so much on what things look like but more on what they can do”. It is essential, as POC21 showed us, to see beyond the product, and move forward to build global sustainable living.
By working together, a team can accomplish goals much faster, and can design things in a integrated and interconnected way. That’s why to achieve consistent decision making, it is also essential to share common values and to find inspiration in what others can do. We can communicate globally almost in an instant, why don’t we keep the power to make changes in a long term with a conscious of our environmental impact? It is a new way to see the world and how it operates. Lastly, as I saw at POC21, stay optimistic above all!
Thank you POC21, see you next year or (soon ?) in another place!

PSP2 Gearing Up For ‘Significant’ Launch Lineup
The 99%-confirmed PSP2 has been in the news a lot since a NetherRealm employee divulged its existence. But it appears that the studio behind Mortal Kombat isn’t the only one to have had a look at the upcoming handheld. According to multiple sources within many different developers, the system has been making the studio rounds in preparation for a “significant” launch line-up of titles. A report out of Develop indicates that Sony has released dev kits for the handheld across a broad studio spectrum, lending credibility to rumors suggesting a reveal of the PSP2 in the coming months.

One thought on “PSP2 Gearing Up For ‘Significant’ Launch Lineup”
Keck282 says:
Well they will need a significant launch line up to combat the 3DS launch line up plus all the DS back catalog. Sony really needs to keep UMDs, or finally allow people to transfer their games from UMD to digital media through a conversion kit to make their handheld successor more appealing to long time fans and new blood.
Just a few more hours until Nintendo gives out its details about the 3DS. This is going to be interesting (not just how much the 3DS is going to cost and when it is coming out, but how Sony is going to respond if at all).

S.China Sea publicity campaign gears up
(Global Times) 07:59, July 05, 2016
Focus on Chinese voices aims to rebalance public discourse: experts
One week before a UN arbitration panel issues its decision on a territorial dispute in the South China Sea, Beijing is promoting its stance through international seminars and videos on social media platforms in hopes of winning the support of international experts and the public.
The People's Daily released a series of 10 English-language videos on YouTube on July 1, in which scholars and political personnel from Singapore, Malaysia and China voiced opinions on the South China Sea issue that are similar to the Chinese government's stance.
Meanwhile, China Central Television posted a series of cartoons illustrating the history of the South China Sea on its official Facebook page in June.
"Compared to traditional media channels, new media has larger [readership], and the platforms are open to the public, so the government can hear different voices," Zhang Zhi'an, vice president of the School of Communication and Design at Sun Yat-sen University, told the Global Times.
According to Zhang, the US and the Philippines currently dominate the public discourse on the South China Sea issue, and the Philippines intends to use the media to label China as a state that "does not obey international law."
China has also played an active role in hosting international seminars on the South China Sea in other countries.
Some 30 experts from Asia, Africa, Europe and the US exchanged views at a seminar co-organized by Leiden University's Grotius Center for International Legal Studies and Wuhan University's Institute for Boundary and Ocean Studies on June 26, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
The attendees expressed objective opinions on the South China Sea issue, and the opinions of Chinese scholars brought them a new perspective on how complex the issue is, said Kong Lingjie, Deputy Director of the Institute of Boundary and Ocean Studies under Wuhan University.
Meanwhile, another seminar on the issue will be jointly held in Washington, DC on Wednesday by Beijing-based think tank Chongyang Institute of Financial Studies and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
"Inviting scholars central to the issue from both sides to talk in DC - the center of US think tanks - ahead of the ruling is a way to explore deep and open communication on the issue and could move US think tanks to reflect on and enhance control of disparities," said Chen Xiaocheng, a research fellow at the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies.
China should guide public opinion, allowing more people worldwide to support and sympathize with China's stance and oppose the arbitration tribunal's ruling against China, Shen Dingli, associate dean of the Institute of International Studies at Fudan University, told Lianhe Zaobao. As for whether China's efforts will be effective, that depends on "whether China presents its argument reasonably."
"This practice would help make China's voices heard on this particular issue, but to be more effective, I think China needs to participate even more in various international lawmaking conferences,"said Ei Sun Oh, a senior fellow with the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies at Nanyang Technological University. "China needs to do all these things rather consistently, and it should do them in languages like English and French."

SPICE GIRLS дэлхийгээр аялан тоглоно
11 сарын 7, 2018
“Spice Girls” хамтлагийн бүсгүйчүүд нэгдэж дэлхийг тойрсон аялан тоглолтод гарах болсон тухайгаа зарласан ч Виктория Бэкхэм оролцохгүй нь тодорхой болжээ. Уг тоглолтод Мелани Браун, Эмма Бантон, Жери Хорнер ба Мелани Чисхолм нар оролцоно. Тус хамтлагийн тоглолтын тасалбар арваннэгдүгээр сарын 9-нд худалдаанд гарах гэнэ.
Бид дөрвүүлээ байх болно. Гэхдээ хожмоо Виктория бидэнтэй нэгдэнэ гэж найдаж байна. Хэрэв тэгэхгүй бол харамсах болно” хэмээн Мелани Браун ярьсан байна. Тэр хоёрын харилцаа тийм ч таатай биш гэдгийг дуучин эмэгтэй хүлээн зөвшөөрч “Бидний харилдцаа нэг бол хайраар дүүрэн, эсвэл тэр чигээрээ үзэн ядалт болдог” гэсэн байна.
2007 онд сүүлчийн хамтарсан тоглолт нь түүний гэр бүл салснаас үүдэн зогсоход хүрч байсан гэнэ. “Миний гэрлэлт тийм ч сайн байгаагүй. Би цаашид үргэлжлүүлж чадна гэх итгэл алга болсон. Тиймээс л “Би чадахгүй нь” гэж хэлсэн. Энэ тухай тэр бүр мэдэхгүй л дээ” гэж Мелани Браун ярьжээ.
Үүний өмнөхөн Эмма Бантон “Heart Radio”-д ярилцлагад орохдоо тун удахгүй аялан тоглолтын талаар албан ёсны мэдэгдэл гарна гэсэн юм. “Миний сэтгэл их догдолж байна. Би үүнийг маш их хүсч байна. Сайхан болно” гэжээ.
“Spice Girls” хамтлаг сүүлчийн удаа 2012 онд Лондон хотын олимпийн тоглолтын хаалтын ажиллагааны үеэр хамт дуулж байсан юм. Энэ хамтлаг 2000 онд тарсан билээ.

In 2012, PLC accounted for over 10% of PB's group assets, and contributed to over 26% of its post-tax profits. Apart from its own branches, PLC also operates over 125 window offices within PB's branches. PB's limited ability to provide support to PLC stems from its own 'AA (lka)' rating, which is in turn derived from the government of Sri Lanka's limited ability to provide support to PB, as reflected in the sovereign rating of 'BB-'/Stable. PB is fully owned by and is a key lender to the government of Sri Lanka. PB is systemically important because it is the second-largest bank in the country with a share of banking system assets and deposits at 18% in 2012.

Could you give me some smaller notes? claritin d 24 hour and ibuprofen I bought bank stocks in my IRA specifically because as interest rates rise, depositor interest rates paid do not rise as rapidly as loan rates. The result is a magnification in bank earnings, or at least that is what I am anticipating. Banks securitize mortgage loans as rapidly as possible which minimizes the risk to banks of collecting low interest rates on past loans. Banks earn fees from new mortgages, including those that refinance old mortgages, but those fees are only one time payments since banks don’t even automatically retain loan servicing rights, so they should not be regarded as a long term source of profits in my opinion. After all only enough mortgage loan officers are hired as necessary to do the mortgages.

Hold the line, please kamagra kaufen rezeptfrei Not to change the subject, but here’s an interesting bug that will disable your iOS device. My 9 yr old granddaughter found this one, and I can’t figure out how to fix it for her. In Settings/Passcode Lock, she turned simple passcode OFF. When you do that, a text box appears for you to put your passcode in. That field allows you to paste from something you copied. She had made up a password of Emoji characters and pasted it into the field. IOS accepted it. But you don’t have access to Emoji characters when typing in password characters on your lock screen. Apple protected the user from using Emoji characters by disabling them on the keyboard that pops up when you enter your complex passcode. But since it allows a paste of any character, the Emoji characters were accepted. When she powered the iPod Touch down, the lock screen came up, with no way to enter the Emoji characters. Now the device is permanently locked. When she hooked it up to the computer with iTunes, iTunes couldn’t recognize it ...it said the device was locked. So she can’t even restore it to the factory settings. I told her to call Apple or take it to the local Apple store.

HCPED Launches Collaborative Effort to Connect Students with Manufacturing Careers
On Monday, June 10, 2013, leaders of Henderson County industry and the Henderson County Public Schools participated in the first of a series of luncheons designed to enhance the connection between industrial employers and the school system.
The kickoff event was held at Clement Pappas, located in the Mountain Home Industrial Park. 25 middle and high school guidance counselors from across the county learned more about manufacturing and the current and emerging career opportunities in the sector. Program time was spent with Plant Manager, Pete Szelwach, who currently oversees the 160 person operation. According to Szelwach, “local industries are adding employment but when trying to recruit young workers, manufacturing is not keeping pace with other sectors, which could be attributed to the sector’s outdated reputation and lack of clear marketing to young workers.”
Following lunch, Szelwach and Kara Bailey, Clement Pappas’ Senior Human Resources Manager, led a tour through the facility, explaining the various processes and highlighting career opportunities within the plant. Bailey noted that many of the jobs within the company require technical competencies and the ability to troubleshoot and quickly react to issues that arise during the bottling process.
“Preparation and planning for this effort has been underway since 2012,” said Pete Szelwach, who serves as the Chair of the Partnership’s Existing Industry Committee. Work leading up to the collaborative relationship included in-depth workforce analysis, small group discussions, committee work sessions and employer specific surveys. During each of these exercises the single most overwhelming take away was the need for simple, yet effective, programming to build relationships between industry and Henderson County’s top ranked public schools system. “Dr. Helen Owen, Director of Career & Technology Education (CTE) and Counseling, and the Henderson County Public Schools have been outstanding to work with,” says Szelwach. “When asked to be involved they stepped up in a big way and have been extremely engaged in this approach.”
Working together to build this relationship, the Partnership hopes to achieve three specific goals:
1) Emphasize available careers within the manufacturing sector
2) Positively impact the number of students who pursue careers in the manufacturing sector
3) Increase participation in CTE opportunities (job shadowing, internships & apprenticeships)
Moving forward, HCPED and the school system will begin scheduling additional luncheons and industry tours for CTE personnel and guidance counselors. Work will also begin on plans to tour students in manufacturing environments around the county. To obtain more information about these efforts, or to get involved directly, please contact Josh Hallingse at [email protected] or 828-692-6373.

Gun Control Does Not Equal an End to Gun Violence- the Gun Debate We’re not Having
January 20, 2013 3:55 pm Natasha Sapp Leave a Comment
In the wake of the shooting in Newtown Connecticut, pending Washington’s recommendations and actions on certain types of guns, it is all anyone can talk about. From NRA spokesperson Wayne Lapierre’s insensitive press conference a week after the tragedy to another second amendment junkie, Alex Jones, losing it on Piers Morgan; the republican right wing is absolutely paranoid about losing their guns, vowing they will not let an assault weapons ban pass the United States congress. In contrast 74% of NRA members support better gun control, common sense law like if you’re on a terror watch list no gun for you, background checks for every legal gun bought in this country. While the left calls their fellow lawmakers position lunacy, trots out examples such as Australia, who saw massive drops in gun violence, even suicides when they put much tighter restrictions in place, still all anyone can talk about is the gun. Whether it’s banning what gun enthusiasts call the tactical rifle, whether it’s limiting the amount of ammo an individual can purchase, whether it’s getting rid of so called high capacity magazines that not only house an obscene amount of bullets but fire them at an obscene rate for anything other than killing as many people, living things as possible in the least amount of time. All political commentators can talk about is where things will go on gun legislation, which guns will be outlawed, which magazines, the number of rounds allowed; now there is little doubt recommendations presented by vice president Joe Biden and his task force will include common sense things we think we already have, expanding the list of who can’t legally buy a gun to more sections of the mentally ill, those on a government watch list, mandating background checks, expanding what they look for. The real question being drowned out is will it be enough, will it make an effective difference; yes or no?
As unfortunate as it is the right wing and people like Wayne Lapierre have a point; simply removing the gun isn’t going to solve the problem, whether you increase the number of background checks, increase the intensity, the scrutiny of a background check done on someone who wishes to buy a gun, whether you limit types of guns, rounds or capacity of magazine. Once a bad guy has that gun, the only thing that will stop him is a good guy with a gun. Despite his blaming violent, crazy people with guns on violent videogames, movies and television, he also hit another issue squarely on the head when he suggested putting trained, armed security into every school in America. And consequently because few will so much as discuss the idea, what is happening across the country is areas are holding gun safety, gun handling workshops for teachers to carry guns in order to protect their classrooms; school boards and state legislatures are debating whether or not teachers can carry guns into schools to safeguard students. Sadly they have grounds for calling such bans ineffective outside something as old as Columbine, however ingrained in our memory; putting on glaring display the loophole in any assault weapons ban demonstrated by the upstate New York man who set fire to his neighborhood in order to lure fire and police there then shoot them. Said man was already a felon not allowed to legally be in possession of or buy a gun, so he simply conned or coerced someone into doing it for him. Proponents of no change to current gun control had an intriguing story to tell regarding limits to magazines involving a Georgia woman who had a crazed man in her house she had fired 5 of the 6 rounds contained in her pistol like gun at or into the persons head and he was still coming towards her stating she needed something more than a magazine that shot 6 rounds, and had there been multiple assailants her and her kids might not be here. 6 rounds incidentally being one less than the maximum limit just passed by the New York state assembly. Other instances they claim call for assault weapon style guns, huge magazines surrounds chaos in the wake of things like hurricane Katrina, super storm Sandy where you are confronted with gangs of looters and easily added to that is ammo lost in the flood, no money or access to ammo to replenish what you fire.

Perhaps the most appalling thing seen of late isn’t spokes people for the National Rifle Association, who we all knew wouldn’t like anything that would put restrictions on its business, who many recognize as having gone over to the crazy end of the debate; instead one of the most shocking things is an interview ABC News’ Diane Sawyer held with Mark Kelly and Gabrielle Giffords, not that they spoke out, not that they were outraged by congressional inaction, not only considering her tragedy but the sheer number that have occurred in the two years since, not that they want reasonable gun control, not that they have begun their own action campaign, not their views taking into account what they went through. It’s that when Diane Sawyer brought up the counterpoint guns could be bought illegally the non-brain damaged member of that duo, Mark Kelly, said to a national television audience he didn’t believe that. Now considering what he does all day, his former profession it is reasonable to assume he had no way of knowing about the 2 rocket launchers, that are illegal for civilian ownership, recovered in a California buyback program moved up several months in light of what happened at Sandy Hook, or that instances like that are nothing new to police there, unless he is an avid news watcher. Keeping in mind though his answer was given on the heels of reputing the NRA stance on good guys with guns relating the story of a civilian with a gun there in Tucson, Arizona who nearly shot the person responsible for bringing down Jared Loughner. Never mind tiny details like Mr. Lapierre’s comments pertained putting trained police or security in schools, implied references to heroic actions of police officers responding to mass shooting scenes, not any Joe Schmoe who owns a gun and has logged hours at a shooting range. Not that members of the public are exceptionally picky on who tries to save their lives. Similarly Christopher Kennedy Lawford appeared on CNN’s Piers Morgan talking about his new book on how to beat addiction, talking about the staggering number of people with a substance abuse problem, battling addictive behavior also having some sort of mental illness, of course gravitating into the gun debate; Lawford noting that people who do this are quite clearly mentally ill, the goal being to keep guns out of the hands of those same significantly mentally ill. He is another echoing the democrats’ platform, seen by many as the sane platform, on the subject presenting gun control as a means to keep guns out of the hands of the deeply mentally disturbed. Then proclaiming that as your goal, you don’t start by bickering over what classifies as an assault weapon, you don’t begin with wildly unpopular stances on sizes of clips, you push for those things that will keep any type of gun away from an unstable individual; those things include universal background checks, expanding what a background check looks for and additions to the classifications of people who are not allowed to purchase a gun to encompass more of the mentally ill. Sadly Mr. Lawford and Mr. Morgan’s discussion centered instead only around guns, the latter calling them killing machines, and these are the sane people, the people who want the larger debate.
Returning to the opening idea that the NRA and those who support gun control as is, it makes perfect sense up and until you realize theirs isn’t the only solution, up and until it dawns on parents I don’t want a background or routine mental health check on security personnel to become an oversight leading to a trained security person having a meltdown then shooting my kid. Arming teachers may make sense to some communities particularly ones already effected by something like this or those with similar characteristics until they recognize the potential of a teacher having a mental breakdown, much like the ones suffered by aforementioned shooters, and the potential for dead and wounded children that way. It all adds up until you take into account how easy it would be for a frustrated teacher to begin waving the gun he has in his desk, in a locked closet or on his person around his classroom in a desperate attempt to keep order, force unruly children to behave. You begin to understand the importance of having a gun to protect yourself and having as many rounds as you can possibly put into the thing when you see it through the lens of natural disaster, until you start asking where were the police, what are the effective ways to police, prevent looting, violence, vandalized property damage, and why don’t they know these techniques in areas such as New Orleans, accustomed to hurricanes and natural disaster type phenomenon? You deeply sympathize with the Georgia woman defending her family until you again come back to where were the police, how was it this crazed person who could not be stopped with 5 bullets came to be walking the streets to begin with; why is it routinely southern states and small towns who have so much trouble adequately mobilizing a police force? Adjacently why is it we continue to not demand a national arrest record database so that if you get arrested, jailed, let out on bail pending a court hearing in one state or county every other state and county across the country knows your criminal history, something that would have saved 4 cops brutally gunned down in a diner by a man who was let out of jail after serving several years for a violent crime based on his age at the time he committed the crime, multiple letters of recommendation, good behavior and a belief he had turned his life around, who then was arrested for a minor altercation, let out on bail, judge having no clue about his past, for him to go to another state and kill police officers when he should not have been on the street at all. Why is it under 3 strikes laws and their variations nationwide we will put someone in jail for life over writing bad checks and stealing baby formula but won’t keep violent people behind bars or at least insist on keeping a better eye on them if we are going to let them out, a change in perspective that would have saved 2 New York fire fighters since the man who lit his neighborhood to get them there killed his grandmother decades before, was let out of jail, something triggered his degraded mental state leading him to coerce a woman into buying multiple guns, then left a rambling suicide note, talking about his favorite thing being killing people.
But once again we’re not having the conversation that needs to be had; the one where if you put the mental health structure in place, it no longer matters who can legally purchase a gun and who can’t in that context, because these severely mentally unhealthy people are not on the streets to commit their crime in the first place, but rather are locked up receiving the treatment they need. Let’s remember 3 out of 4 of the last deranged people to do this were on the radar of either police or college counseling services; had those situations been handled in a proper way, they would have been remitted to mental health before we ever knew their name. We’re not having the conversation that needs to be had, the one where we have no less than a dozen drugs for erectile dysfunction, acid reflux, ADHD, depression, we always have a new generations of these drugs, yet it took 40 years for a new antibiotic for drug resistant TB; we live in the age of the superbug yet have no new antibiotics to combat them, success only coming from combining existing ones in new ways, strategy that won’t hold out forever. Not one person has seriously mentioned the reality we have no new treatments, therapies, forget drugs to deal with these psychotic people showing up in ever increasing numbers despite facts demonstrating people taking psychiatric medications are the most notorious for going off their meds with disastrous results. Equally never mentioned is why, outside part of the delusion being they don’t need medication, side effects especially long term side effects, make these drugs some of the worst to want to take, leaving people without psychotic tendencies but only capable of sitting in a chair and drooling, schizoaffective drugs leave patients sleepy and generally out of it. Shaking, ticking and other involuntary movements indicating neurological symptoms almost always occur in persons who have been on such medications for years; we don’t think for one minute about improving medications so they are so aversive to take. Worse still, after so many tragedies we have no grater social awareness of people suffering psychosis, what to do about it; mental health professionals remain as unaware as the general public claiming an inability to distinguish between people suffering psychosis and people who will also become violent as a result of that psychosis. Mental illness is still, in the 21st century, stigmatized as a character flaw, still viewed as a contagion worse than any communicable disease, still a source of family shame to be swept under the rug, if at all possible; in patient mental health programs and long term care mental institutions are little more than warehouses orderlies a different kind of jailer.
We refuse to separate types of violence committed with a gun, to acknowledge profound differences between gang violence and mass shooter violence, domestic violence incidents and situations where households with guns shot family members thinking them an intruder, where a child was killed while playing with a gun or where a suicide was carried out with a gun. To the so called sane people having the debate, countering the loud extremists, it all boils down to the gun, trying to dance around the second amendment, the supreme courts latest interpretation of the second amendment and also prevent gun violence, it’s all the same. Control the gun; stop the violence, not true. Violence can be perpetrated with almost anything evident by countries that have banned or greatly restricted guns; violent people simply find another means. Piers Morgan even had the unmitigated gall to compare the Sandy Hook shooting to the knifing in China transpiring the very same day under similar circumstances; both he and Mr. Lawford agreeing the Chinese situation was a victory, because all the children attacked lived. Here is no victory, for children who may be maimed, who likely require surgery upon surgery to be whole again if they ever can; victory is it not happening in the first place. Yet those people pushing for an assault weapons ban assume an even more alarming false sense of security projecting the concept banning said type of gun will end mass shootings, decrease death tolls. Wrong; it will simply cause them to bring more guns to a shooting scene, lean more heavily on distraction like the smoke bombs set off in that movie theater, or finally detonate explosives to achieve their goal Further there are proven methods for combatting gang violence, true preventatives and procedures for handling domestic violence, there are other ways to curb suicides, gun safety not just the absence of a gun is key in keeping children from playing with a potentially loaded gun, forestalling false intruder shootings, just as there are ways to intercept mass shooters before they go on their rampages. The problem is getting officials to use them.

Back To School Means Back To Shenanigans The Political Correctness Clint Eastwood Should Have Been Worried About
September 8, 2016 7:40 pm Natasha Sapp Leave a Comment
Amidst positive things getting children in the swing of back to school, morning show life- hack tricks to make this time of year less of an odious grind, including one first year, creative teacher who used music welcoming his students to 4th grade, a middle school set of teachers who walked students home, one school who began their first day with an assembly, there’s no surprise it can’t all be good. But what’s making headlines isn’t bus driver strikes, no drivers to transport kids, manic, or even drunk bus drivers, children unsafe, sent to the wrong school, enrollment foul-ups, overheated buildings and broken air conditioning, excessive heat and no installed air conditioning, teacher strikes, no available teachers to instruct students. We’re almost longing for strange days signified by a teacher who showed up for first day classes, her first day teaching with no pants and drunk, because at least we know what to do with that, what to think about that. Instead it’s the standard go to these days clothes, school dress codes and general polices on everything under the sun putting small area, key city schools on our national radar, garnering national attention for becoming more fascist and Nazi-like every year to some; to older, more traditional minds rolling their eyes bemoaning they had to add yet one more item to a banned clothing list, school administrators had to hammer out yet another policy on issue X because parents can’t employ common sense, if it’s not written down as a firm no, parents think anything goes. School in all facets fast becoming a topic tradition of mine, every graduation season inspires vivid commentary on anything but inspirational speeches to combat further coddling, cloistering of young people about to be smacked by the real world where you don’t get a trophy for everything, you don’t get points for just showing up. Alongside graduation nightmares spawned from clothing that shouldn’t be objectionable suddenly being put on a no, no list, parents showing up in the exact same attire as clever, justifiable revenge; dress code parameters for select, specific occasions that might as well have been written by their parent’s grandmothers mentioning sausage rolls to describe body fat, telling young women to keep the girls covered and you can’t put 10 pounds of mud in a 5 pound sack purportedly trying to speak their language to convey what is appropriate and what’s not. All because they feared stage placement would have people looking up girls’ short skirts, but the self-described ‘impressionable’ girl (18 and now an adult) speaking up is over sensitive and completely unprepared for real life; while her school, who should be leading by example, shows no class and gets away with it. Eagle feathers and other cultural, religious symbols banned from graduation tassels, gowns of individual students, one school barring their valedictorian from speaking due to his goatee facial hair; ironic we want boys to grow up to be men, men to act like men and emasculate them at the same time. Graduation ceremonies marred by racial slurs, overtones, one school outing their valedictorian to his father when he dared include that in the last seconds of his speech he was then banned from giving because it mentions him being gay. Speaking of parents, coveted parent involvement, a school superintendent who threated to have arrested excited parents cheering their child walking across that stage; desired charge: disturbing the peace. Others locked out of an overfilled auditorium due to ticket mix-ups; a 5th grader in a wheelchair forgotten at her elementary school graduation, no handicap accessibility provided, even leaving her name off the list of graduates. Likewise I have joined a chorus of fed up Americans, parents and non-parents equally, tired of schools shaming girls for simply buying their clothes off available racks at Target, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, JC Penny in appropriate size and age groupings, leaving it to parents to draft petitions about where is the fabric in girls’ clothing, clearly showing how much there is to boy’s clothes. Never adding their voices to said petitions just chastising parents for letting their child wear ‘booty’ shorts, more proper name daisy dukes, a bikini top to school (oh the horror in no air conditioning schools where you go outside to adjacent buildings for art, music confronted with hot, humid air). Not to mention creepy lengths schools will go to, to enforce their clothing policies: coercing a 5 year old into changing her floor length sun dress because spaghetti straps are against ‘the rules,’ using her eagerness to please against her, making her go around in jeans and long sleeves all day in Texas heat; then instead of telling her father why she can’t wear it again, leaving her to explain that to him, plainly applying something meant for older, more physically developed girls to a 5 year old anatomically above the waist no different than a boy. Worse the electronic jumping up and down on he got for flouting simple rules and thinking his kid is special, rules don’t apply to her, people who characterized his freelance blog response to her treatment, handling of situations school officials manufactured as a tantrum; when in truth he just forgot, read school handbook materials, signed it per their requested instructions, noted things that didn’t apply by virtue of her being 5 and forgot about what should have been inconsequential: spaghetti straps are against the rules even for 5 year olds. Stopping girls in hallways, telling them to grab their crotches in full view of other boys and girls going/walking to and from class, lunch, measuring shorts/skirt length ensuring code compliance; underscoring subliminal messages given males, boys who will become men, any girl who dresses an adult’s view of immodest, inappropriate deserves whatever she gets from harassing comments, to groping, to sexual assault, rape. One parent commenting on a similar story purposefully bought her daughters tank tops at requested strap width, proved accusing teacher wrong, daughter still punished; news watchers remember the Utah school who edited yearbook photos without student/parent consent or notification based on moral compunctions of perv-y, white, religious minded men, blue haired old ladies and clique ridden year book staff despite a parent who took 2 students to orientation/registration and didn’t see any supposed sign announcing no sleeveless tops, visible bra straps, school reserved right to edit inappropriate pictures. Utterly stupid in summer where sun dresses, sleeveless shirts are worn for comfort in hot weather and bra straps, by the laws of physics, can be seen wearing a standard t-shirt, never mind U-neck popular women’s shirt styles (see screen shots) you can’t escape buying today. Reinforcing ideas, boys soon to be men, aren’t to control themselves, women are to cover up; girls, women are sex objects even in middle and high school, don’t want sex, propositions for sex, flirting, comment, cover up. You know your decision was bad when Fox News, conservative news of America outlet, anchors can’t believe these are the photos being edited. Pointing to something else, arbitrary enforcement students testifying they’d worn their questionable, sent home worthy outfits on multiple separate occasions no problem; girl who described the crotch grabbing scene and whose mother wore her scandalous dress to graduation was confronted 2 hours left in her final school day then threatened with a detention for leaving school to change, as a senior matriculating out. Students in Utah wearing almost identical outfits didn’t get edited; posing serious questions about who is actually sexualizing our kids, movies, music, television, social media pressures, fellow students, store clothing lines. Or adults who insist on beating their children for being a THOT (that hoe over there) like you should ever refer to your own child in such a way, on Facebook, people who look at a person’s outfit and designate them slutty, uncouth, unworthy of respect because of their clothing; boys, young men who do agree with mantras girls, women who don’t want sexual attention, want to be viewed in a better light should cover up. Are they getting it from seeing what girls, their fellow classmates are wearing, behavior they are exhibiting or from cultural white noise, their parents, what male relatives are feeding them about a woman’s responsibility? And when that wasn’t enough a Florida school decided to ‘tackle the problem at its source,’ PARENTS; tired of off color t-shirts, baggy jeans, pajamas and short shorts debating instituting a dress code for parents attending school functions, parent teacher conferences, even dropping off and picking up students. Which went over like the lead balloon everyone expected it to, commenters highlighting being an adult means on their own time they are free to wear what they like, I myself noting Florida’s climate, jobs necessitating beachwear, shorts as a uniform in tourist areas, others calling hypocrisy about the number of men frequenting the local Hooters who like women wearing that; fact: working at Hooters does not include stripping, prostitution and allows a female parent to support her child/children.

So it’s no surprise dress codes made news again this year at the start of classes or that, as Yahoo’s article below states, dress codes right out of the 1950’s are popular with administrators and terms they use to define appropriate and inappropriate; latest round’s racial targeting found in banned hairstyles, items and ‘fashion trends’ lost on all of no one. Out, corn rolls (again you know persons writing this are out of touch when they don’t know it’s corn ROWS) twists, dreads, Mohawks, fro-hawks, ‘afros’ must be no longer than 2 inches, no jewelry to be worn in your hair, prompting one mother to call out their blatant racism, banning things unequivocally worn by mostly black students, eventually resulting in a slight change of policy eliminating statutes on aforementioned styles. Nor is it close to the first time said policies have come down on racial, ethnic minorities or become absolutely unenforceable. Exhibit A-Native American boy robbed of his first day of kindergarten due to his long hair, his heritage that forbids cutting hair beyond minor trimming; him turned away that day despite his mother preregistering him, them obviously having seen his hair. His mother forced to contact local Indian authority and prove he was at least one half Native American before he could attend school hair intact. Exhibit B-7 year old made to cry when told her dreads, tied back in a pink bow, were unacceptable for school, deemed unpresentable, deeply offending her barber father who told news reporters he takes pride in his children looking nice; expediently enrolling her in another school who could care less about her hair. Second only to the girl facing expulsion for her distinctive style poof-y hair, told this when she reported bullying due to her hair. Ending on Exhibit C under one high school’s new dress code sending a young man home for the green polo logo on his polo shirt saying shirts must be design free, logo must be black, white or gray; parent denoting hardship of buying yet more shirts, unable to find starkly plain ones. And then there’s the second Yahoo link complete with blow up screen shot below depicting posters informing Illinois middle school students of their dress code; Yahoo author commenting on their 1950’s language and attitudes. Lady-like and school appropriate on 2 headless women wearing nearly the same thing but the ‘revealing’ ‘distracting’ ‘dress code violation’ one was deemed so apparently because said girl chose to wear a see-through shirt over a thicker solid color one revealing nothing, or was it that her shirt wasn’t oversized enough to cover formfitting, ‘revealing’ parts of her leggings; you can’t tell truthfully. Beth Greenfield far from alone in her assessment decrying this throwback flyer and dress code, “Wow, Freeburg’s been invaded by Maoists,” noted one…while another posted the image of a flyer which read, in part, “I am a 15-year-old girl. If you are sexualizing me, YOU are the problem.” 15-year-old spot on, both Greenfield and cited psychologist questioning why; “all the women are drawn “with cleavage,” and “voluptuous,” when the flyer is meant to target middle-schoolers. “Even the way they depict women’s bodies is sexist.” Others penning sarcasm to make their point; “Who in their right mind would aspire to have schools as they were in the 1950’s? When the quality of education/teachers were better….students were held strictly accountable for their behavior……parents cared about how their children performed academically and behaviorally……….and reading, writing, and arithmetic took priority over social indoctrination, and political correctness…..classroom size didn’t matter, and teachers knew how to control their classes.” None of which has anything to do with the topic, over the top dress codes, and what is more 1950’s than parts left in the natural hair issue school’s dress code stipulating no 2 toned hair, males may not dye their hair and it must be no longer than their collar, bangs no lower than top of eyebrows. Butler school in Kentucky, check the calendar it’s 2016. But by all means yes we should come back around to Clint Eastwood’s way of thinking where we’re a pussy generation, pansy ass culture to have stopped using the N word, negro and oriental, Downs Syndrome as opposed to the archaic Mongolian idiot common until the 1970’s, for teaching students to their full potential instead of resorting to dunce caps and shoving them in corners, that also too a part of the beloved 1950’s. For using sophistication of political discourse, basic decency in how we talk about people of varying races, ethnicities, physically disabled, developmentally delayed, having specific, diseases, disorders, we’re weak, we’ve lost something more than hate; what we really want to know is where was Clint Eastwood talking about this, talking about educating a child’s mind is more important than what is or isn’t on their body? Rather than defending Donald Trump, arguments he isn’t racist based on ‘the stupid thing he said’ about the judge presiding over his Trump University trial, bemoaning mentioned sophistication he names stupid political correctness, where was he calling out old fuddy-duddies about dress codes in public schools; where was he calling out the ridiculousness of polo shirts and leggings on a sweet middle school girl getting them thrown out of class? And reading writing and arithmetic aren’t being superseded by social indoctrination, political correctness, expensive fashion shows by kids trying to impress, but by dress codes and their humiliating enforcements absorbing critical instruction time; another huge chuck of why test scores suck, kids can’t read, diagram sentences, never mind they don’t teach the latter anymore. Compounding ongoing social problems is why these things have slowly come into being; it’s not more and more provocative clothing, students starting lice epidemics with unkempt hair (this is a persistent unproven urban legend), students who’ve hidden weapons, sharpened pencils used to stab someone in their ethic hair (another staunchly urban legend), but because it could be a distraction; students pointedly calling the code more of a distraction than any clothing. Ending in something else that psychologist brought home to readers “It’s very sexist, and reinforces body shame and self-consciousness,” comments echoed by girls North America wide, happening in Canada too, staging protests; adults learning just how much history they’ve managed to absorb despite crappy systems, subpar test scores giving crash courses in civil disobedience, peaceful assembly all around. One student’s slutty Wednesday titled protest wholly appropriate in wording, above adult objection, when that’s what people are going to think about them sans actions, behavior backing it up, adding insult to injury coming from teachers, administrators who know these students, know that’s not in their thinking; comfort and weather being top reasons. Also to be done away with comments such as, “It’s school think of it like work. You don’t show up showing off your belly button. I don’t see a problem with public schools even having dress code like private schools. It makes it harder to kids to skip school or get into trouble because everyone will know there school. They can dress an express themselves on their own time, [Sic]” or, “They don’t allow dreadlocks in the U.S. military either. It’s not discrimination, it’s just the rules. Everyone has to follow the same rules. Tough cookies, kid.” Except they aren’t on a job yet, it is their own time in as far as their own body is concerned and we aren’t training people to be little more than military drones; if Sikhs can wear turbans why not dreads? Further, if not now in high school, middle school when are they supposed to be able to dye their hair, have fun with clothing before going to work; dying their hair, trying different fashion styles much less dangerous experimentation than drugs, experimentation part of finding who they are? And please stop trying to sell us, parents or students, on concepts you are preparing us, them for the real world, teaching them how to dress appropriately. When a guy can get fired for the sports tie he wore to his car dealership job and a young employee was sent home for wearing clothing bought in the stores career and work section, a dental student was told rolling down the top of her scrub pants was scandalous, next told by an employer to ditch her scrubs for more ‘grown up’ attire, then lastly told the colors she chose were too bold before buying lots of black and gray losing a part of herself for a job with a uniform!; the only thing you are preparing them for is to carry on putting up with arbitrary ‘standards’ in the workplace. ‘Standards’ millennials have soundly rejected insisting they be rightly judged for their work product not wardrobe, workplaces that have, by and large, relaxed their dress codes to attract, accommodate millennial workers; millennials that attached to their style starting their own companies, working at establishments where their style choice blends in as opposed to stands out. When a lawyer can be barred from seeing her client, 2 days before trial because her dress is 2 inches too short upon sitting and the bar association just banned sexist comments in courtrooms nationwide, when standing out at work can boost your career, or when BuzzFeedYellow tries to dress for a week according to school dress codes across the country and can’t decipher vague meanings, is barred from wearing things she has worn to job interviews that weren’t outrageous, too sexy, too slovenly. Canadian women in at least one restaurant required to wear heels even while one woman’s toenail fell off and her feet were bleeding, apparently not enough of a medical restriction. Funny businesses in Korea have adopted a summer business dress code for the weather; but America, the place of freedom, can’t figure out overheated students don’t learn as well. Students won the right to wear casual clothing to public schools around 1965, 70, perhaps a few hold outs until 1980. Ironically mimicking when women won the rights to use birth control, Roe V. Wade legalized abortion; no small coincidence who has revived both fights, to remarkably failing results. Dress codes should be: are they wearing clothes, then they can come to class; students looking to protest should merely come to school in their underwear, socks, shoes, bras for girls alerting these tightwads nationwide their attire will change when dress codes are amended to the above sentence period.

Pledge of allegiance back in the news this year too for variations on redundant, reoccurring ‘reasons,’ who could forget continuing fights against wording “under god;” a school promoting ‘horrible’ diversity whose students and parents freaked out when asked to recite the pledge in Arabic, including one nation under Allah, the Arabic word for god. Even when it was revealed changes were for national foreign language week asking students to recite the pledge in the native language of their ethnic heritage; Arabic first because the girl who was supposed to do it in Spanish got nervous about using school PA systems. How about CBS’ rejection of a car ad featuring a sweet little girl reciting the pledge, domino effect uproar that caused, because CBS dared to leave something that didn’t work for them, local rodeo, local insurance company or no, on the cutting, editing room floor dared to once, just once rise above drama and dross, have people focused on their product, new, returning favorite TV shows not off camera chaos and conflict. Pulling us up to current fracas around our pledge, predictable Fox News showcasing a letter from one school sent home with students allowing them to opt out of the pledge and one corresponding parent’s asinine response, ‘this is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read and I’m so ashamed of this;’ panel going on to detail proclaimed ridiculousness of an opt out form despite their own references to a 1943 ruling by the United States Supreme Court saying firstly, the fixed star in our constitutional constellation was you could not force people to confess their faith in orthodoxy, policy, nationalism exc. Translation they possess 1- constitutional, confirmed by Supreme Court, choice to not stand, not recite the pledge, no official, independent rank, high, low can compel them to; further, there must be written notification of the opt out option finally signed by parent or guardian. So represented Florida school, recognizing turmoil about the pledge, probably at stated request of a parent, whole groups of them, followed Supreme Court guidelines in offering an alternative; if you, your family and your child don’t want to use it, choose not to use it so be it, but it’s there for those who do want it. Quoting video captured Fox News host, apparently we do need a law, to be reminded of that 1943 one on the books, seeing reactions given by school officials; both parent and Fox News appearing totally clueless and tone deaf to just how contentious, how indeed politicized the pledge of allegiance has become in recent years, even recent decades, recurring arguments over the pledge in schools, the terminology under god, should citizens of this country be allowed to abstain, opt out of participating in the pledge willing to completely disregard 1943’s highest court decision. No panel members understanding how serious an issue it has become for students, less centered on bullying by their peers manifesting in prolonged, lasting injury and more dangerous bullying by adult, school authority they have little recourse to fight back against. When a teacher can demand you stand during the pledge or be suspended for 2 days, receive 2 more days suspension for every day you don’t stand, chiefly because you defied what she believed to be her authority, weren’t falling in line with whole class, whole school group-think, oblivious to how her actions looked compared to dictator countries Saudi Arabia and North Korea quoting the Secular Talk radio host describing what happened to a high school young man in Texas. When a school nurse can say to an 8th grade student you refused to stand during the pledge of allegiance, I refuse to service you; girl in tears, denied first aide, medication access, whatever she came to school nursing staff for, proceedingly barred from calling her parents before receiving a stern lecture. Which is not only a violation of the conditions of her employment failing to do her job, it constitutes a violation of medical ethics stating you treat the patient in front of you, going against probable portions of the Hippocratic oath. Saga exacerbated and elongated when a guidance counselor stepped in, they no better informed about basic constitutionality saying she didn’t have to say the pledge but should stand in the hallway until its completion. David Packman show clarifying she certainly does not have to/need to stand outside; delving deeper into that 1943 case and its ruling, not only can students not be compelled to say and stand during the pledge, there cannot be repercussions visited upon students who don’t, putting both school officials in the extreme wrong. Here is where any forthcoming lawsuits originate when adult, school authority oversteps its bounds; especially in the school nurse case that could have endangered the very health of a student. But we don’t need an opt-out form; clear thing Florida did was put everyone on the same page, everyone on notice of expectations, the law, to avoid what happened at these other schools. Moreover, regardless of how hot a topic immigration is this election cycle, those choosing to forgo the pledge of allegiance are not newly minted immigrants bringing with them ‘anarchist tendencies;’ newly minted immigrants usually ecstatic to say the pledge. Remember Syed Farook was a born American citizen, the failed Times Square bomber was a naturalized citizen, Fort Hood shooter another born American serving in our military, Anwar al-Awlaki was a Yemini-American holding dual citizenship, yet born on U.S. soil, raised an American, how many Americans have tried to get to Syria to join ISIS, attempted attacks here; proving blaming immigrants won’t work. Others, usually young people, when confronted with older generations staring down their nose at them, stand their ground noting they don’t live in communist China where unfailing national loyalty must be demonstrated at all times and on demand, asserting their right not to stand, not to sing, because they do live in a free country and won’t be forced into something a majority calls patriotic to satisfy persons with their noses out of joint over other people’s choices, that ironically do not affect them. Resounding message, we will find deeper, more meaningful ways to express, exhibit our patriotism, national loyalty; contrasting Fox News’ thoughts, students’ patriotism and civic responsibility stronger than ever, that patriotism and civic responsibility exactly why they refuse, because they almost always do it as a form of protest, civil disobedience, attempts, efforts to change things about their country they feel unjust, unfair, incongruent with liberty and justice for all. That high schooler was tired of government taking advantage of them, another boy circa 2009 refused to stand for the pledge until it really was liberty and justice for all, including gay people. Plus how many of us remember the pledge of allegiance boiled down to another thing we did in the morning, something mumbled through out of practice before we were really awake, all meaning lost in routine, how many times we’d done it over the years for no other reason than it’s what you do; personally I remember too how many mornings the pledge was never said less because my teacher had some aversion to it, was making a political statement and more because she forgot, taking role, running a classroom, engaging instruction took a back seat to time consuming gestures for the sake of time consuming gestures. Moving away from school, look closely at video of a man attending some sort of city council meeting, same state as the opt out notice to students and their families, Florida from 2 years earlier where the Winter Garden mayor ordered him to stand during the pledge or leave the room, and when he stood up for his rights, was threatened with removal, potential arrest. Eventually bowing to pressure and exiting, mayor’s actions totally illegal, potency added considering you have an authority figure unabashedly abusing that authority; here is how you browbeat people into doing things by rote, automatically, without thinking, because it’s always been done. At the same time 49ers player Colin Kaepernick drawing ire and headlines for his refusal to stand during national anthem recitation until changes are seen in police brutality, officers stop getting paid leave for killing people. The Whitehouse weighing in disagreeing with his decision, a veteran who lost his legs defending American ideals less offended by his freedom of speech choice not to stand instead by his subsequent comments equating said veteran’s patriotism, pride, respect for his country with a bigot elsewhere, bigots here. But Kaepernick, like those students, like hated, vilified flag burners each told if they don’t like it their best solution is to leave, is doing it unto a purpose, ending police brutality, nothing, slap on the wrist punishments for cops who savagely gun down black and brown persons for traffic violations, suspected petty theft, loose cigarettes. Garnering equal veteran support as opposition, one tweet encompassing it all, “I serve to protect your freedoms, not a song;” sharpening concepts those words mean something apart from hollow tradition, those words weren’t idly chosen because they sounded good, strong, worthy of a country; they were chosen precisely and deliberately for what they mean, principals this country was intended to be founded upon. Why the solution can’t be: don’t like it just leave, not only because that’s not how a free country works, but because at least now people are taking notice, paying attention to both them and their stated cause, the actual betterment of America. Don’t we also find it wrong, shouldn’t there be something terribly wrong with people whose deepest show of patriotism, loyalty, national pride is to sing a song upon demand, recite a pledge? No, not everyone can do what Kaepernick is doing, has the famous face, celebrity clout for it to mean something if they were to do it, but shouldn’t love of country be more than a perfunctory gesture? Again where is Clint Eastwood supporting that, echoing that line I serve to protect your freedoms, not a song instead of, educated guess, siding with people who believe sitting out the pledge of allegiance, national anthem a disrespectful disgrace?

Identical principles hold true about how we discuss certain issues, how we frame certain conversations by the words we use, actively don’t use, enact change to positively alter society’s use of words counter to social order, function, equality; why we stopped using the N word, negro, adopted native American over Indian. Call someone gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender respectively as opposed to queer, fag, homo, transvestite, cross dresser, butch, carpet muncher, promote majoritively accurate sex education and proper names for body parts; encompassing reproductive organs, sexual activities. Why president Obama sought to remove the word retarded replaced with developmentally delayed from government documents; our evolving vernacular depicting what is socially acceptable to talk about, to say, how you say unpleasant, uncomfortable things, better address sensitive issues as much a part of the American fabric, American tradition as apple pie, baseball. Somewhat perplexing then why Fox News, surprise, surprise seems profoundly bewildered by that evolution reflected in a university’s notice to faculty advising them not to use words like crazy, psycho as it is offensive to people dealing with mental health issues, warnings not to out someone’s transgender identity, abstain from asking said persons about their ‘real name’ or surgical status and support students stated gender identities letting them know they should choose bathrooms corresponding with that identity. It seems perfectly normal, on par with other interdepartmental college memos, interesting items like the Mindset List helping faculty relate to students by reminding them there have always been barcodes on items, to them Curt Cobain, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Richard Nixon and John Wayne Gacy have always been dead, Michael Jackson’s family, not the Kennedys, constitutes “American Royalty, The paradox “too big to fail” has been, for their generation, what “we had to destroy the village in order to save it” was for their grandparents,’ Their folks have never gazed with pride on a new set of bound encyclopedias on the bookshelf, Billy Graham is as familiar to them as Otto Graham was to their parents. Top ones for incoming freshmen slated to graduate in 2020 include, there has always been a digital swap meet called eBay, Grandpa has always been able to reach for the Celebrex, They never heard Harry Caray try to sing during the seventh inning at Wrigley Field, There have always been Cadillac Escalades, but they just don’t seem to be all that into cars, West Nile has always been a virus found in the U.S., Vladimir Putin has always been calling the shots at the Kremlin, The Sandy Hook tragedy is their Columbine.
Cloning has always been a mundane laboratory procedure, The United States has always been at war, John Elway and Wayne Gretzky have always been retired, they have never seen billboard ads for cigarettes, The New York Stock Exchange has never reported its ups and downs in fractions, Airline tickets have always been purchased online, There have always been iMacs on desks, Robots have always been surgical partners in the O.R. Largely gender identity related discussed parameters highlighted by both New Mexico university and Fox News streamed lined with the Supreme Court’s legalizing same sex marriage, countering exposed homophobia behind bathroom bills exploding this summer, that it was an end run around select North Carolina municipalities adding sexual orientation and gender identity to anti- discrimination statutes. Other states following their horrible bathroom bill example, Texas GOP members apoplectic calling it the end of public education when president Obama stepped in saying there will be federal guidelines allowing gender identity bathroom use to students in a place they are mandated to go 5 days a week to receive an education. Their lieutenant governor who can’t handle a tolerant, common sense set of “Transgender Student Guidelines,” fostering a “respectful and trusting” transgender student policy. Except to them, upholders of bathroom freak outs, Fox News, constant disparagers of this generation, our young people it’s representative of the extended coddling college culture of safe spaces, trigger warnings and political correctness gone wild; however, their mocking tone, laughing and segment title to mind your political P&Q’s indicates exactly why such parameters are needed. Forgotten, experts said the same things regarding mental illness in the final Sandy Hook report after Adam Lanza killed 26, most children, openly speaking about stigma surrounding these illnesses, opposed to cancer patients, diabetes sufferers, often preventing people from treatment, medication, causing people to fear both. Society’s use of words like psycho, crazy, cray, cray for persons who may be mentally ill; worse our too casual use of those same words not to indicate medical, mental health diagnoses merely describing those odd, unusual, unique or different, perception mental illness is as contagious as a cold, the flu, when it’s inherently not. Except, beyond safe space, trigger warning, free speech zones that are anything but, being transgender is about waking up one day and deciding your transgender, i.e. female instead of male, so you can use the woman’s bathroom and harass them, hit them up for sex, see partially naked women. Narrowly considered, were their theory correct, transgender males, biologically female could do the same harassing, making feel uncomfortable males hit on, propositioned for sex in Men’s rooms America wide; neither happening to date, if ever. Not about spending a lifetime feeling like you’re in the wrong body, enviously looking at girls wearing dresses, long hair, pretty outfits, feeling in your head, your heart that should be you too, feeling male, wanting to stand up using the bathroom confused as to why you have to sit, why your anatomy doesn’t match your mental image of yourself, terrified about gaining breasts, having a period. Instinctually knowing you don’t have a safe place to go to the bathroom because facilities matching your anatomy feel wrong, yet you’re nervous about those of your gender identity finding out you’re not like they are, harassment you’ve probably been subjected to trying to use either restroom. Marked uptick in said harassment trailing along with bathroom bills also seen this summer including a police officer who assaulted a lesbian for using a women’s bathroom believing her male, a transwoman assaulted by another officer at a large chain grocery store for using the restroom corresponding to her gender identity, a trans-person’s recorded subway tirade by a fellow passenger, but telling New Mexico university students gender identity bathroom use is supported on campus is out of line, unnecessary, too much political correctness. Never intended, implied the notion you cannot ask questions of transgender persons about what it’s like being transgender, about transgender communities forming in society, rather specific no’s on what not to ask without getting to know the person first, the idea you don’t randomly go up to someone you believe to be transgender, who may not be, and bombard them with questions; elaborations probably covered in the sensitivity training class in its entirety, not just the bullet points. Worth questioning though, remembering focused memo, class, training session was for faculty not students, why would you for any reason have occasion to out their transgender status to a class and without their permission, why would you have occasion to question the name they went by, questioning if it was ‘their real name,’ same with surgical status; above statements providing proof said faculty guidelines are unnecessary? Not quite, instead illustrating how profoundly personal these subjects are to trans-persons equivalent to randomly asking straight, heterosexual, gender conforming individuals about their number of sexual partners, sexual activities, desires in bed, being asked to suddenly disclose pregnancy status, marital, relationship status outside a doctors office; things that are private and should remain so unless or until the person chooses to share them and decides with whom to share them. Similarly you have adult conflict resolution, learn to coexist with people who don’t agree with you, ‘who may hurt your feelings’ not by refusing to talk, keeping your mouth shut, but by employing acceptable etiquette around the issue; lessons more for older adults than coddled college students. They had most people up until they also included gender identifiers he, she to be replaced with ‘the person in blue’ until you interject context; we are still feeling out, determining acceptable nomenclature respectfully referring to transgender persons. For crystal clear clarity no one mentioning, even hinting, faculty or student, would be suspended for saying the woman/man in blue, he or she in the red shirt over the person in blue, the person in the red shirt, it was merely a suggestion to better avoid stereotypes and stigmatization that will probably drop off being too vague when identifying someone in a crowd, when we finalize terminology for trans individuals. On a somewhat separate yet related note, as a person who is female and has often been called he from childhood, thanks to my preference for short, easy to manage hair, tom-boyish clothes, who is a biracial African American thought to be native American or Hispanic having to endure a speech teacher contrasting speeches of Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy one class period stating at a point, ‘as far as I know there are no African Americans here tonight’— I can attest to the sentiment merits behind what they are trying to do even if it falls flat in practice, people who constantly get asked what nationality, ethnicity they are understand too well also how annoying it is to have someone constantly throw that question to you. Another opinion putting in stark relief what’s missing from a university doing the opposite— abandoning safe spaces, trigger warnings on the accepted assumption it’s coddling— misses colleges should be safe spaces for exchange of ideas, minority, unpopular opinion holders to speak up provided they aren’t advocating discrimination, violence, hatred, that by wholly dismissing safe spaces and glossing over beginning portions of the dean’s own letter “[m]embers of our community are encouraged speak, write, listen, challenge and learn, without fear of censorship. Civility and mutual respect are vital to all of us, and freedom of expression does not mean the freedom to harass or threaten others.” He’s minimizing power in his own words and making it less likely minorities, someone of something other than the standard sexual orientation will contribute in a meaningful way, or “…dismissive about “so-called trigger warnings.’ Hi, trauma is real! And if you want to set an example of empathy, please at least attempt to see the world through the eyes not of some determined-to-be-offended cliché, but also the returning veteran who’s sitting in class. Or the sexual assault survivor. What is missing from his message is an acknowledgment that the school understands the needs and experiences of those students. As a Santa Barbara University student explained to the New York Times last year, ‘We’re not talking about someone turning away from something they don’t want to see. People suddenly feel a very real threat to their safety.’ That’s a distinction worth making.” People even Clint Eastwood should be able to get behind supporting.

Just like an Arkansas Catholic school for boys, who teaches the importance of ‘soft failures’ posting a sign on their office door as follows: “If you are dropping off your son’s forgotten lunch, books, homework, equipment, etc., please TURN AROUND and exit the building,” the sign reads. “Your son will learn to problem-solve in your absence,” assumes student’s implied poor problem solving is directly resulting from helicopter parenting, helicopter parenting is the sole and singular reason parents bring items to their kids at school; during this day and age going viral. Ignoring, what, are you going to have school security escort out parents deciding it’s their child and they make the decisions not you, resort to calling police to gain compliance from parents with your new policy, how fast you won’t have a school if you go that route; you’ve forgotten parents who bring their child’s hockey, lacrosse, baseball gear to them after school for practice less because of their irresponsibility and more because you know if you do, it will remain in your child’s possession the entire time, less likely to be stolen, expensive equipment won’t be damaged, mandate replacement jostled repeatedly on the school bus (think hockey sticks). It’s what we say about driving all the time, it’s not you, you have to worry about but everyone else on the road; it’s not your kid you don’t trust, just everyone else maybe not raised with the same values you raised your son, especially if you’ve had problems with theft before, broken sports gear before. Their supposed to be cleverly worded sign assumes the child forgot, not you arranged to bring their science volcano, solar system model, history diorama to school so it wouldn’t be damaged on the school bus either; because after taking your hard earned money to buy the supplies, the multiple tries and several kitchen disasters to get the volcano to work properly, you’ll be damned if it gets destroyed before your child gets their hard earned grade. You want them to share not wear their item for ethnic food day because you didn’t have a travel container suitable for the dish, weren’t buying one solely for an assignment, aren’t willing to throw money spent on specialty food into the trash because your child’s school decided to be trendy all of the sudden. Obviously remarking on an era of ‘bad’ parenting, so called helicopter parents who want to swoop in and fix everything, never let their child fall or fail, protect them from everything brushes off other characteristic ‘bad’ parents, the flake who forgets everything themselves, assumes there’s that word again and what is it they say about making an ass of themselves, the parent showed up to correct, remedy their child’s mistake not their own. Say the child repeatedly asked for their lunch money and you forgot, you were the reason they ran out of the house without their lunch, homework exc., the thing I’m dropping off is the field trip form they gave/explained to me a week ago but I’ve been working late, them in bed when I get home unable to remind me. Surely they have poorer students, families even attending probable tuition based catholic schools, parent working multiple jobs, where they told you they needed index cards for their research paper, would be given points for bringing, showing their teacher the index cards and you only had a chance to buy them, get them on your lunch break, just got paid and told your child you would drop them off before X hour class when required. And it’s not a soft failure for a child to flunk a class, the entire grade for the love of a paper left in their room I can bring them, left precisely because of it being such a huge portion of their grade, anxiety about how much is riding on that one thing, their little brother got ahold of their backpack not because it was left somewhere haphazardly but because they had to watch them while I worked late and do their homework at the same time, their sibling is 2 and doesn’t know any better; it too conveniently precludes identifying/helping students, families experiencing problems, needing help or needing you just to leave them alone, stop lumping them in with today’s cultural stereotypes. Backpack with important project left at grandmas because she’s ill, needs care, doesn’t qualify for a nursing home, we don’t want to put her in a nursing home, stumbling out of there at midnight when we got her to bed, us exhausted; Catholic school being an extension of the Catholic Church committed to representing god, helping others exc. that matters more. Precludes help reaching a child with noted memory issues, who may need to be seen by a neurologist, learning specialist even late diagnosed in high school, high school sometimes in smaller, parochial schools, select areas encompassing what would be middle school grades elsewhere; how well did that hard line work with famed Harry Potter character Neville Longbottom, hint it didn’t. Except similar to the discarded dunce caps, we know better than a fictional wizard school stuck in the 1960’s; at least we’re supposed to, capable of acting like it. Dripping with irony a generation who has spawned hot car death upon hot car death prompting tips for parents about putting a toy on the dash to remind the opposite parent, who doesn’t usually drop the child off at daycare, they are back there, and car makers to create an alert when a child is left in the car dares post a sign like this at a high school. Entire school mindset predicated on an outdated 1950’s model stipulating students have little else to remember apart from school work, a few chores at home and maintaining friendships, when reality indicates their schedules are as full as adults, active in sports, clubs, volunteering, holding down an after school job, maybe all of the above, is a lot to remember done to get into top colleges as much as interests and keeping busy, out of trouble. Dismisses complicated family dynamics and situations they find themselves in; we aren’t so many years out of the recession there aren’t kids suddenly living in a motel, project damaged in a hasty move out of a foreclosure, backpack left because they had to run to school due to a bus mix-up, still unaware of the address change, things the student, parents won’t announce to everyone for the stigma of shame, pride, dignity, belief in god. Nor is this an overwhelming problem for schools even in lager areas across the country because large amounts of parents work, are looking for work if not currently working, plenty still believing in the old school models they were brought up with meaning they won’t be making repeated trips to school with stray items ‘their child should have brought in the first place.’ Neither does it foster the responsibility you’re hoping to cultivate, problem-solving you want to expand; no students won’t problem solve in their parent’s absence they will more than likely just do without. Proclamations doing without is what they did when they were in school, taught me not to forget, sounds too reminiscent of ‘in my day we walked 3 miles to school all uphill’ exaggerations prone to spilling from older people’s mouths trying to demonstrate how much better kids today have it. ‘Having to borrow lunch money from a friend’ assumes once more that student has friends and they have money to loan them for lunch, that student X would call mom or dad instead of going hungry because he didn’t forget, the family is actually struggling and doesn’t have any to spare for his lunch, not much food in the house either, but, “All we’re asking is that kids think a little deeper than calling mom or dad.” Perhaps you should think a little deeper yourself to understand their problem solving is so lack luster thanks to the limited resources, not thought processes, of children vs. adults, problem-solving ‘stops at mom and dad’ because it’s the one consistent resource they have; whereas were they in ‘the real world’ if they forgot a briefing for work, presentation they would likely, maybe only once, be allowed to go get it by their boss, have a vehicle to drive home to retrieve it. Held up against school where they don’t usually have cars, are not allowed to leave school grounds except maybe for lunch—oh. If you were making sure a model of something, unlikely in the days of PowerPoint and adjacent software, not always available in schools or suitable for school project Y, food for an employee Christmas party were to get there intact, edible sans your own vehicle, in a high public transit area, you might take a cab, having the money, at the kind of job it’s likely to be required, commonplace, to take that cab up against being forced to take the school bus or have mom and dad transport items. Going to work daily you probably have money for lunch, if you forgot cash, your wallet, most places take debit cards, worst you’re going to have to do is rummage through your office desk drawer for change to feed the vending machine yet you won’t go hungry versus the high school kid who doesn’t have above choice/alternative. It’s amazing once you start living on your own, with adult roommates even, and when you put things down there in the same spot where you left them; adult roommates, at least in theory, don’t manhandle, break, lose your stuff speeding up the process of you getting out the door in the morning, drastically improving your time management. As does having your own vehicle, living near an efficient public transit system meaning you don’t have to get up hugely early to catch a bus, endure long commutes, making getting out of bed a little easier as an adult than it was for you as a kid, adolescent, teen, also with a fully grown body not a teens, programed not to go to bed before 11:00 pm, having to be in class before 8:00. Mirroring amazement comes, living independently, when you can do mundane chores on your terms not your parents, when you can set your own schedule, answer bodily, mental, emotional needs for rest, relaxation, a few minutes to shake off our day before beginning work at home, things we don’t allow kids to do.
Stanford‘s ban on hard liquor follows typical collage policy mixed messages saying publicly they want more responsible adult students acting their ages as opposed to closer to their shoe sizes while simultaneously assuming the same fragility on both sides alleged discussing the New Mexico university parameters on offensive statements, smacking of mounting hypocrisy they want to change campus party culture, limit risky behavior, preludes to binge drinking by refusing to allow hard liquor, refusing to deal with something; knowing roughly 5 years ago college policies managing drunk students was to call their parents to deal with it. Instead of setting clear guidelines, letting attendees know without a doubt they were adults now, in the real world with real consequences calling police on drunken disorderly persons, demanding payment for vandalized, destroyed property, evicting them from dorms, fraternities, sororities, in plausible response to Brock Turner Stanford’s headline making rape case where the convicted defendant only received 6 months jail time for 3 felonies involving sexually assaulting unconscious women at a party, it’s better to ban hard alcohol. It’s better to ban hard liquors than it is to institute alcohol education realizing k-12 school ended at 18, drinking age is 21 and they’ll reach that on your campus, teach the difference between beer and Smirnoff Vodka, differences in metabolizing alcohol for both genders, differing effects if you eat while drinking versus don’t, dangers of drinking games like beer pong, alcohol poisoning and continually getting drunk, that it means virtually sacrificing brain cells. It’s better to ban hard alcohol than to teach student party goers of both genders, remembering rape isn’t limited to females, heterosexual encounters, party safety lest you be either victim or accused; beyond things like minding your drink for drugs persons might have slipped into it, not succumbing to pressures to drink more than your comfortable with, knowing your own personal alcohol limits, how alcohol affects you. Putting forth drinking till you pass out isn’t normal, acceptable, an ok part of party going, don’t drink until you pass out because it makes you more vulnerable to becoming a victim, makes you unable to remember the next morning what you did the night before, rendering you less able to recount what happened if you are a victim, participate in your own defense if you are the accused. If you are that drunk call a cab, designated driver service certainly don’t drive, but also don’t crawl off to some secluded bedroom in the home of someone you barely know, don’t know at all, surrounded by fellow dunks you barely know, again don’t know at all to sleep it off, sleeping like the dead thanks to your alcohol consumption. This presents ample opportunity for you to be a victim of everything from theft of your wallet, the content s of your pockets, pranks where you end up with a shaved head, startled awake with shaving cream, cream pie contents smeared in your face, vulgar, embarrassing things scrawled on your face, forehead or genitals in permanent Sharpie marker, other things that could lead to lasting injury, but also rape, sexual assault. Psychologically traumatizing enough, add in potential exposure to STD’s, bodily damage from rough sex, non-traditional sex and it’s just not worth it, is it? Yet it’s better to ban hard liquor, wrongly presuming college kids don’t get drunk on beer, wine and wine coolers, mixed drinks made from wine or beer and soda, orange juice, playing drinking games, aforementioned beer pong, than it is to have and open honest conversations about what consent actually looks like, its legal definitions rather than the social gray areas these students, all of America have grown up with. Using headline making examples to say to young men an unconscious girl is not an opportunity for sex, but a person incapable of consent making you a criminal if you move forward, a falling down drunk girl is not a chance to score but a person incapable of consent, if you go ahead you are the perpetrator of sexual assault, it’s not a game of stinky finger, playing doctor or any other benign euphemism to be laughed off as a young man‘s first encounter with the opposite sex, it is sexual assault, even if it isn’t standard, traditional sex, yes this is wrong, yes you can and will go to jail for it. Closely connected, having an open honest conversation about what rape really looks like that it’s more than jumping out of an alley and attacking a girl to quote later convicted Steubenville rapist Ma’lik Richmond, who followed up saying I didn’t do that. That if you’re having sex with a girl who is unconscious it’s rape, of you are having sex with as girl who is drunk, tipsy to falling down drunk, no matter how flirty or willing she seems her inebriation means incapable of consent and you are committing rape. In a relationship, if she says no, it’s rape, no matter how long you’ve been together, on a date, if she says no, at some point says stop and you don’t, it’s rape; this is the law under which you will be prosecuted if you are found to have done any of the above and more things not mentioned. Using your fingers, hands objects not merely your genitals, to sexually interact with someone sans a confirmed yes to what you are doing, plan to do. Returning to Stanford’s alcohol ban, adding to problems swiftly pointed out with their new policy, including students against it who cite people less likely to seek help in an emergency situation (someone showing signs of needing medical attention after binge drinking, suffering possible alcohol poisoning, their stated reason for instituting said ban hoping to curb the practice), a problem anyway as teens don’t call 911 in such situations fearing getting in trouble for drinking under age, being at a party with booze, worried what will happen if their parents find out, if they get kicked out. There is who will be largely responsible for the ban’s enforcement, actually allowing hard liquor in smaller quantities of students 21 and older, RA’s (resident advisors) who are about like that Utah clique ridden year book staff; letting liquor violations pass for liked students, people who can help them with their English papers, pass their business class, not for the unpopular kid(s) in the dorm, frat house, off campus housing, not for the person they don’t like. RA’s probably susceptible to bribes unhappy with their jobs, dissatisfied they feel like they’re managing an overgrown kindergarten, disappointed this is the best job they could get holding a degree; ripe for yet more problems. Sans that the manpower required to manage enforcement means the potential of turning fellow dorm mates, residents hall occupants into constant snitches, getting students disciplined, thrown out for something that wasn’t alcohol someone only thought it was. Policy that doesn’t preclude students going off campus to a place not designated a frat, a sorority, off campus housing getting drunk, binge drinking unto risky behavior, returning to campus to in their compromised state still vandalize property, disturb the peace, get into fights, commit sexual assault, rape. But it’s better to ban alcohol than it is to extend students’ education beyond standard, traditional collegiate learning especially if it will better the world in the process; for that matter anyone else remember when school was about learning and I don’t mean just how arbitrary people in charge, endowed with authority could be?

Man of La Mancha, Westport Country Playhouse, Westport, CT, USA
Every year, the Westport Country Playhouse in Westport, Connecticut presents one musical, and for the 2018 season, their big production of the Tony-award winning musical, Man of La Mancha written by Dale Wasserman, with music by Mitch Leigh, lyrics by Joe Darion, and directed by Mark Lamos, was a triumph of a masterpiece, over-the-top wonderful! Starring Philip Hernandez as Cervantes/Don Quixote and a brilliant cast of 14, If you only go to see one play this year, this is the one to see! Man of La Mancha runs until October 14, 2018 at the Westport Country Playhouse.
Philip Hernandez (Cervantes / Don Quixote)
Throughout the years, we have seen many plays directed by Mark Lamos at the Westport Country Playhouse whose genius as a director has been a constant no matter the genre, be it comedy, drama, or a musical. With his 2018 production of Man of La Mancha, Mark Lamos has outdone himself. We saw the play on opening night on Saturday, September 29, 2018, and it shined brightly from the opening line to the close with memorable moments of acting and songs by the inspired dream of a cast. It was a night of theatre magic, one which would do playwright Dale Wasserman proud.
Set in a prison in the city of Seville, Spain, the set design by Wilson Chin was fabulous, the costume design by Fabien Fidel Aguilar was sumptuous, the orchestra was wonderful, and the performance flowed seamlessly.
Gisela Adisa (Aldonza / Dulcinea)
The 14 actors were extremely well cast with memorable performances given by all, however there were a few exceptional performances that deserve noting including that by Philip Hernandez who delivered an amazing performance in his role of Cervantes / Don Quixote using his extensive Broadway experience to give the role deep humanity, one who sees the world not as it is, but as it should be, he is the quintessential dreamer who dares to dream "the impossible dream."
Lulu Picart (Maria), Carlos Encinias (Padre),
Paola Hernandez (Antonia)
A few of the other notable performances included that by Gisela Adisa who excelled in her roleof Aldonza / Dulcinea where her powerful and lovely voice enriched her performance as the sassy, sultry, and sardonic Aldonza the scullery maid, who becomes the lovely Dulcinea in the imagination of Don Quixote. Tony Manna in the role of Sancho Panza / Prisoner, Cervantes' loyal squire and friend had the audience rolling in the aisles with his perfect delivery of his humorous lines. Westport, Connecticut native, Clay Singer, (whom we had previously seen in the 2017 performance of Romeo and Juliet) shined in his role as the Duke / Carrasco / Prisoner, Paola Hernandez was outstanding in her role of Cervantes' niece, Antonia / Prisoner,and Lulu Picart delivered the goods in her roles of Maria / Housekeeper / Prisoner and played guitar onstage.
Gisela Adisa (Aldonza / Delcinea), Tony Manna (Sancho Panza)
From the play's opening to the company finale, it was a starry night of theatre at its very best, one that deserved, and received, a standing ovation and shouts of bravo! Well done and hats off to Mark Lamos, to the talented cast and the musicians, and to the creative team on bringing the best of the best to the Westport Country Playhouse.

Captain N Character Profiles / Tribute
I’m a huge fan of people going into digital worlds, so of course I’m a huge fan of Captain N, which I’ve talked about before. Hell I’m even a fan of the New Adventures of Captain S. So let’s have a small tribute to some of the characters that Captain N: The game master has to offer.
Kevin Keene: A real life kid that gets zapped into Videoland through the Ultimate WarpZone! Now this was the late 80s and for the time his character isn’t terribly annoying, he isn’t a dumb rookie or too much of a boy scout which is good. He isn’t a terribly interesting character either though but you won’t mind him. His get up is awesome though with his Nintendo jacket, an NES controller as his belt buckle and a Zapper as a weapon.
Princess Lana: The Princess of Videoland who seems to be an amalgam of Princess Toadstool (Peach) and Zelda. She was probably used instead of the other two in order to be Kevins love interest without causing any trouble about either of them cheating on Mario and Link. She is fairly generic though she isn’t the damsel in distress too often and shows that she can fight at least a few times. Her role isn’t anything too special from the generic girl of other shows but she doesn’t annoy too much at least.
Simon Belmont: The Legendary Vampire Hunter of the Castlevania series is reduced to being a narcissist and sometimes coward/jerk. Castlevania fans hate the fact that he is nothing like his game counterpart but in his defense he is awesome! His personality adds a lot to the show and while not like his game counterpart did we really need a group of boy scout heroes? Of course not this is why the writers gave them different personalities. Simon is awesome for being this pompous jerk, if you don’t like it watch the Netflix Castlevania show.
Mega Man / Kid Icarus (Pit) – The Blue (Err Green) Bomber, a small robot who has a lot of strength and talks like he’s a chain smoker and occasionally though not as often as some make it out to believe uses “Mega” to describe stuff. He doesn’t add much most of the time but he isn’t a character you don’t like, in fact I have soft spot for him. Pit from Kid Icarus appears but his name here is Kid Icarus and he is very similar to Megaman in that he doesn’t add much to the story but unlike Mega Man he isn’t very likable. He definitely has a more annoying personality and often finishes his sentences with “acus” which is slightly annoying (err its not too bad).
Gameboy / Duke: Game boy first shows up in the second season, he gets a whole episode to himself though later he is reduced to doing mostly nothing for the rest of the season with only a few exceptions..sadly. Game boy is well… a giant Game Boy and that’s awesome. Yeah the original Gameboy now looks pretty big but this Gameboy is much bigger and I kinda liked having a giant Game Boy as part of the team even if he didn’t do much. Duke is Kevin’s dog and he is well just a dog that doesn’t do much, ever!
Link / Zelda : They are only recurring characters in season 2 appearing in only about 3 episodes but I really liked them so they get their own profiles. Looking back only one of the three episodes was actually strong but it was still great seeing Link and Zelda show up, it definitely legitimized Captain N as most of the time he is in forgotten third party videogames that the average person wouldn’t even know were actual games. They both have the same voice actors as the short lived Zelda cartoon which was based on the first Zelda game. This time they are based on Zelda II, their personalities definitely changed a bit, Link is a bit more mature and Zelda more hands on but they are totally the same characters and its clear to me the Zelda cartoon is meant to be in continuity, heck it even gives a conclusion to the show since Ganon is now defeated. Excuuuuse me if I want them to be in continuity.
Samus: Sadly Samus didn’t appear in the cartoon even though the main villain was Metroid’s Mother Brain. However in the Captain N comics by Valiant since they didn’t use third party characters they had Samus instead and she was such an awesome character there that I decided to include her here. Samus is a badass mercenary who clearly is attracted to Kevin which creates some great moments with him and Princess Lana, a great love triangle. Too bad the comic was short lived and she never appeared in the show.
Villains:
Mother Brain: From the world of Metroid, being you know a Brain she gets the awesome idea of joining forces with other villains of other videoworlds to conquer Videoland. Of course as awesome as that sounds it’s no alliance and all she has are two minor villains working for her. Counting her name is Mother Brain she is a big Brain with an ugly face with lipstick and serves the role not of a villainous mastermind but a generic I WANT TO CONQUER VIDEOLAND WITH MY SILLY PLOTS. Not a great villain by any means luckily not every episode deals with her.
Eggplant Wizard/King Hippo: Apparently a boss from Kid Icarus, he’s a purple vegetable with one eye that has a wand that turns things or throws vegetables. He is the stupid henchmen of Mother Brain, though he does have his moments where he redeems his character somewhat unlike.. King Hippo from Punch Out! only he’s no longer a human and is blue. He is also the stupid henchmen of Motherbrain, however unlike Eggplant Wizard he really is stupid with nothing redeeming about him. How is this a threat to videoland exactly?
Dr. Wily/ The Count (Dracula) – Third party villains of their respective heroes. Dr. Willy is shown sometimes helping Mother Brain even though he is definitely more competent than her. He is a good villain at least unlike the others, especially when he gets his own episode as the main villain, not a bad interpretation of the evil Doctor. The Count rarely appears which isn’t much of a loss since he is beyond pathetic, he does get an episode by himself where he is the main villain.
Donkey Kong: Not really a villain but just a force of nature that can’t be controlled like Godzilla, so he can be the antagonist or even help the heroes. This is pre-Donkey Kong Country so he is portrayed more in a King Kong fashion (he’s even gigantic!) since all they had to go with is the old Arcade Games. I actually saw a few things that made references to his future look though, he wears a tie in one episode and loves to hoard bananas, now I realize Gorillas like bananas but hoarding is something Donkey kong Country era Donkey Kong is known for. He appears fairly frequently which is good since he was entertaining and it was nice seeing what is basically a Mario character on the show.

Home / Aufheben / Aufheben #06 (Autumn 1997) / Death of a paper tiger: reflections on Class War
Reply to Animal's Reply
The third text in an exchange of views prompted by Aufheben's publishing in 1997 of a critique of the Class War organisation. (For the other texts, see links at end of article.)
As the reply-proper (below) to the Animal reply makes clear, the article 'Death of a Paper Tiger' was not written by Aufheben. 'Intakes' articles in Aufheben are 'guest' articles and so do not go through the normal editorial process (of editing, criticism etc.) but nevertheless are considered useful contributions. For these reasons, we do not necessarily have to agree with everything written in an 'Intakes' article (although such articles usually share basic assumptions with us). We saw nothing we disagreed with in 'Death of a Paper Tiger', and would be quite happy to defend it. However, we thought it more appropriate to get the original author to make the reply himself. Therefore, below, we present a summary describing Aufheben itself, and then the reply to the Animal reply.
The Aufheben magazine is a project initiated by a number of individuals who came together through participation in various struggles in the Brighton area, notably that against the poll tax, in the late '80s early '90s. Feeling a need to develop our ideas and come to terms with the significance of Marx for the revolutionary project we started a reading group reading Capital and the Grundrisse. Partly out of the common understanding developing through this reading, and discussion and through our experience of the class struggle, we decided to produce a magazine.
A central theme for us has been the need for a unity of theory and practice. We opened the editorial in Aufheben (Autumn 1992) with a quote to this effect:
Theoretical criticism and practical overthrow are... inseparable activities, not in any abstract sense but as a concrete and real alteration of the concrete and real world of bourgeois society.
(Korsch, Marxism and Philosophy)
For us this has a fairly straightforward meaning that our struggle against this world as individuals and as a class needs to involve reflection on what we do. Without knowing who actually reads the magazine, we imagined an audience of those who are engaged in struggle and who feel the need to reflect on this process, to think about capitalism and the movement to abolish it. Essentially this means writing for ourselves, about the subjects we think important and at the theoretical level necessary to address them.
The title Aufheben describes for us an important concept/process and one for which there is no adequate English translation. It poses the issue of finding communism not in an abstract negation of this society or as an ideal but as a movement within and against what exists. It also indicates the need to appropriate and go beyond previous theoretical attempts to understand capitalism and the process of its supersession. Finally choosing the title Aufheben was in a sense a confrontation with the anti-theoretical prejudice very prevalent among activists in Britain. Feeling ourselves the need to think about what is going on and what we are doing, we reject this anti-theoretical stance as self-defeating. Nevertheless we can understand it as a reaction against the use of theory by those claiming to represent the proletariat's interests. As has been pointed out, the division of mental and manual labour is the fundamental basis of the capitalist division of labour as a whole, thus of alienation. Those assigned to proletarian labour with little room for mental expression rightly distrust the experts in it. Hence also the correct distrust of academic Marxism. Theory for us is not academic.
We feel influenced by, among other currents, class struggle anarchism, the German and Italian left communists, the situationists, the Italian autonomists, and the non-party-ist French currents influenced but critical of the Italian left. We don't however identify ourselves completely with any particular tradition. If communism is the real movement that abolishes existing conditions then 'theoretical clarification', becoming conscious of what is happening and what needs to happen, is a moment of the process. While some aspects of such 'theory of the proletariat' can be found in these traditions, not all. Also the most valid theory can become ideology if it is held in a rigid and frozen manner. Thus, for example, it seems to us that groups like the situationists did more to recover and make live the contributions of the German/Dutch lefts than did those groups claiming an unbroken heritage with them. There is always something provisional in theoretical clarification - and this would include the ideas expressed in Aufheben articles.
While we, like many before us, have gone 'back to Marx' in order to escape what has been known as 'Marxism' we don't see his writings as having all the answers. However, we do find the critique of political economy an essential reference. Marx did not invent communism but his critique of capitalism, his attempt to reproduce the 'concrete in thought', made a fundamental contribution to the task of the overthrow of capitalism. In particular, we find very helpful the recognition that Marx's work was incomplete, that issues of proletarian subjectivity and of the crisis of capitalist social relations are not dealt with fully in the critique of political economy. We also see some of the failures of Marxism as lying in the failure to recognise this.
The individuals who produce Aufheben are not a group with a membership or interest in recruitment. We have not defined ourselves by a set of 'aims and principles'; probably however we are more coherent in our ideas than most groups who have done so. Indeed it seems to us that the aims and principles of most formal organisations are compromises aimed at repressing and covering up the contradictions and disagreements within those groups. While Aufheben articles are generally written by individuals, there is a collective process of reading, discussion and revision so that the final version is something on which there is general agreement though it may not extend to every last point. (We do also publish articles from outside sources, which we don't subject to the same editorial process.) With our own articles, the individual does not necessarily know what he or she is going to come up with until it is written, then there is the discussion before the final article is agreed. It is largely through this process that Aufheben can be said to develop collective positions. Aufheben's positions then are defined by what appears in it. The magazine speaks for itself.

The ANIMAL remains a paper tiger
In the three years since the 'Paper Tiger' article was written and published, the ANIMAL article is the first written response received. Other reactions varied; from a few ex-CW members in Leeds who said they agreed with most of it but felt I should have been more self-critical; but one of them, who admitted not having read it, said I shouldn't have written a critical article on CW at all. One of them, I think, later wrote a decent piece on CW for Smash Hits which made some similar points to mine. Two other ex-CW people got angry, upset and sulky about it; one tried to slag me off for 'not doing anything' - presumably meaning not going to as many boring political meetings as he does. He also tried to trash the reputation of the long dead ex-CW person I quoted in my piece, all the while avoiding dealing with any of the specific critical points I made. Such people, while accusing others of being 'intellectuals', will become hostile and stop speaking (no great loss) to those who dare to hold opinions different from theirs - revealing how completely ideological and intellectual their relationships with other people really are. One or two more grown up ex-CW people disagreed with the article but were happy to remain on good terms. All a bit of a storm in a teacup really...
So somebody who has bothered to sit down and draft a response deserves the courtesy of a requested reply. Though I have to say that I approach this with little enthusiasm; partly because from the start of their response there are basic errors in understanding the meaning of points made in my article. These misinterpretations could have been avoided by a more careful, less sloppy reading of the text. (I will charitably rule out the possibility of deliberate distortion.)
Most readers have not seen my original article; so ANIMAL's misreadings and distortions will not help them grasp my meaning. Nor will the fact that they have ignored some of my most important points. In my reply I have tried to get a balance between correcting some of their misinterpretations without repeating myself too much. (Those interested can get a copy of my original article from Aufheben.)
For a start, ANIMAL's whole response is written as if the article is the work of Aufheben - yet this is obviously not true, as it's clearly stated at the top of the page that this is an 'Intake' - coming from outside their group. So all criticism based on the idea that 'Paper Tiger' was written by an intellectual is mistaken; like everyone else I have an intellect that I sometimes use, but that does not make me an intellectual. It's not my job or defining social role. It's not even true that Aufheben are just intellectuals uninvolved in real struggles (but they are quite able to defend themselves and I'll deal with my own criticisms of them further on). But even if it had been written by an 'intellectual' that wouldn't in itself invalidate all criticisms; you can't try to dodge difficult questions by tagging dismissive labels on to those who ask them or assume that CW's supposed working class pedigree always ultimately wins the argument. Which is not to say that intellectuals don't need criticising...
The 'Stillborn' article is written as if only middle class intellectuals would make these kind of criticisms - ignoring the fact that some of them were also made inside CW during its history (but were not allowed to surface publicly).
The ANIMAL reply continually distorts what I actually said in my article; or asks me to defend things I never said. It also asks questions whose answers can easily be found in my original article. Some examples: ANIMAL asks for an example of "occasions when the group orthodoxy became an obstacle to action". Well, one example is given in the first footnote on the first page in the quote from an ex-CW member: "...the leadership ... managed to impose its diversions: at the end of the miners' strike...no revolutionary critique of the NUM was published for fear of putting off the miners..." even though there were those in CW who saw the necessity for such a critique. And the Bash the Rich March was another example; a pretended attack preventing a real one occurring. They ask "Do you really think you can organize anything effectively without publicizing it?" Of course you can - if CW really wanted to go into Hampstead and do some bashing they could quite easily have secretly organized it amongst themselves, gone in and done it and disappeared into the night.[1] But instead they organized a big publicity stunt, thereby forewarning the cops and media, and were prevented from even entering Hampstead - as CW must have known would happen. But the real goal of the event was achieved - CW's lifeblood, publicity of the organization and the organization of publicity.
And I didn't "slag off CW for saying young working class men swear a lot". I criticized CW for reducing the diversity of the working class down to a crude stereotype image as part of its recruitment strategy; moral judgements about swearing didn't even come into it.
But the most revealing thing about the ANIMAL reply is that as they try to refine and justify the logic of their position they only expose more of their own contradictions; for instance, while claiming that CW have always encouraged the working class to realise that 'the rich are always greedy selfish gits', CW were always ready to suck up to and praise various soap (Lofty) and pop stars such as Joe Strummer - whose early presence in Notting Hill encouraged the gentrification of the area - as long as CW could gain more publicity from it. The 'Rock Against the Rich' Tour starring the extremely rich bastard Strummer trying to revive both his and CW's flagging career and fading pseudo-rebel image - pathetic. And a recent issue of ANIMAL continues this with an article slavishly praising super rich footballer Eric Cantona, basically because he mouthed a few vague liberal sentiments saying that poverty and inequality are bad. No criticism is made of his extreme wealth and exclusive lifestyle, his advertising appearances (for products of Third World sweatshops) and his readiness to play his part in the star system that reinforces this hierarchical society. Where do CW think these celebrities invest their vast fortunes? In business and trade, meaning investing in the exploitation of the working class. Presumably CW are happy to ignore all this because one of their present campaign bandwagons is for a better deal for all football supporters - and they don't want to alienate potential recruits from the terraces by dissing their heroes. Footballers (along with many other sport and music stars) get much of their influence from the fact that most of them are from working class backgrounds and therefore represent one of the few escape routes to wealth and fame. You can't say anything very meaningful or useful about football (or the rest of culture) without dealing with these kind of contradictions. But CW, so desperate to popularise themselves, are too afraid to criticise what is popular with the sections of the working class they want to recruit from, so instead they opportunistically ignore these contradictions. But by pretending they don't exist they reinforce them... "It's the old con. Present yourselves as allies of what's going on (which means opportunistically refraining from criticising what you know to be its weaknesses), and hope to add your 'political dimension' once you've won confidence and been accepted as knowing the business." (Anarchism Exposed, London 1985).
According to CW, 'if you're not popular you're nothing'. So their politics are always going to be led and defined by the other far stronger forces in society that determine what is immediately popular. Tail-ending the dominant media and cultural forces is not much of a recipe for autonomous class struggle or a radical critique of such forces.[2]
CW's tabloid populism was a triumph of style over substance and form over content. Creating genuinely subversive relationships amongst even a minority (whether thru writing or whatever activity) is ultimately worth far more than all CW's fleeting moments of media attention and popularity. The theory that has been shown to have any lasting value is not at all that which was immediately the most popular - when times of upheaval arrive this becomes clear. CW seem to think about tabloidism and fame the same way others mistakenly think about Parliament - that it's a neutral form which, if it only had the right people installed in it with the right ideas, then it would cease to have any harmful effect and become beneficial. But the form to a large degree determines the content and traps people in pre-determined, static social relationships. Which leads to CW's simplistic analysis, opportunism etc.
Of course we should try to express ourselves as clearly as possible. But there is a contradiction that has to be dealt with - much of what is known as 'common sense' is the medium or currency for the circulation and expression of the taken-for-granted dominant values of this society. To express the subversive thru language it is sometimes necessary to use words that have retained a clearer meaning thru less use. Everyday language is a terrain largely occupied by the enemy: we tend to speak the language of our masters. (A beautiful example of a counter-tendency to this occurred in the 1992 LA Riot when the rioters coined the phrase 'image looters' to describe the media: a neat reversal of perspective.)
In a world where appearances and the truth of things almost never coincide, theory is necessary to penetrate the lies. This society encourages a fragmented consciousness that craves only immediacy in its consumption (e.g. tabloidism). But a partially understood text that resists complete immediate understanding may not be just unnecessarily dense and wordy. It may be that it has a depth, subtlety and value worth pursuing. And it may grasp and reflect more accurately the real complexities of class society. "I assume of course they will be readers who want to learn something new, who will be prepared to think while they are reading." - Marx on Capital.
ANIMAL say we are wrong to say that "the desired effect of all populist journalism (of whatever creed) is to suspend critical thought on the part of the reader and to reduce choices of opinion down to a simple duality - good/bad, black/white - through a simplistic representation of reality..." because, according to ANIMAL, "it implies that people are already capable of critical thought which is gradually closed down (can younger people immediately read well?)..." This is more of CW's patronising attitude revealed - why is the ability to think critically automatically identified with being able to already read well? A strangely elitist intellectual view.
CW's idea of theory/critical thought as something separate and external to the working class that they have to learn from reading and more 'educated' people (such as CW of course) is influenced by Paulo Freire, whose book they quote from at length. CW are always ready to throw the accusation of 'intellectual' at those they see as their rivals and critics in the political arena, yet they rarely if ever attack the role of the professional intellectual and their ideas.[3] Freire puts a libertarian gloss on his ideas by saying that educators and educated should work together in creating 'educational projects'; the educators are middle class radicals and/or 'the revolutionary leadership' and the educated the ignorant masses incapable of liberating themselves by their own efforts alone. Freire praises the Stalinist regimes of Cuba and China as fine examples of his theories being practised! (p. 36, p. 75, pp. 145-6 - Penguin 1996 edition). And according to ANIMAL, "what Class War does is in the same league as Paulo Freire", this great friend and defender of these butchers and dictators. Freire, the Stalinists - and apparently CW - all share the belief that they are the necessary bearers of consciousness and knowledge that the working class lacks.[4] The Stalinists and other leftists use this belief as a justification for their leadership and authority over the working class. ANIMAL are using it as a justification for CW's populist style - either way, it's elitist bullshit.
CW seem unaware that throughout their lives people use critical thought to make decisions and form opinions - the schoolkids who turned their school chemistry labs into molotov-cocktail factories during the Hungarian revolution of 1956 didn't need to 'read well' to be 'capable of critical thought' and practice it. Neither did the peasants, mostly illiterate, who created the Mexican Revolution. And the slave revolts? The working class can use various sources critically in the development of its own theory - but it has to be a process located in people's own activity and circumstances. Theory is not a product of intellectuals that can be taken ready-made off the shelf of the ideological supermarket. Nor can theory and consciousness be reduced to verbal and written forms of expression. Acts of solidarity and subversion, writing and discussions, spontaneity and reflection - are all components of the expression and development of theory.
ANIMAL talk about theory as if it is a body of written knowledge that can be learned off by heart and mastered - a typical bourgeois and leftist assumption. This 'theory' is really only ideology - a set of fixed ideas, congealed eternal truths - 'ideas that serve masters' very well as party lines and group orthodoxies.
The letters from prisoners that ANIMAL quotes from show that CW is doing some useful prisoner support work. ANIMAL preface the letters with the long quote from the Freire book. (The quotes are not actually Freire's words at all, but are from the Foreword by R. Shaull.) They say that CW, like Freire, work on the basis of "dialogical encounters with others" where these others, when provided by CW "with the proper tools for such encounters, the individual can gradually perceive ... reality as well as the contradictions in it, become conscious of his or her own perception of reality, and deal critically with it". A very touching image of CW kindly providing us all 'with the proper tools' for 'becoming conscious'.[5] Bet you weren't so explicitly patronising in your 'dialogical encounters' with the prisoners whose letters you quote.
The letters show that the prisoners are grateful for the help and support that CW provide - and all due respect goes to CW for doing so. But if CW are trying to claim that the letters are examples of how, in a Freire-like fashion, the prisoner 'comes to a new awareness' and how their 'eyes have been opened' due to their contact with CW then this is just unconvincing (and probably gives a worse view of CW's prisoner support work than it deserves). Having read the full letters you sent us, it's clear that the prisoners' hatred of authority, the rich, the system etc. is a result of their real experiences, the struggles they have lived - and are positions they had developed long before they had any 'encounter' with CW. Most other groups doing similar work could produce similar letters. The letters prove only that the prisoners are grateful and see CW as being on their side - nothing else. And there's little evidence of a 'critical dialogue' going on.
It seems odd that CW should choose these letters as supposed evidence of their educating efforts and popularity. After all, prisoners mainly doing long stretches (armed robbers and the like), in isolated conditions whose main form of contact with the outside world is via letter writing - these are hardly the most typical representatives of the working class. But then even in the heyday of its 15 minutes of fame the CW paper was always a bit short of letters from their readers. CW even felt obliged to sometimes make them up - as was admitted in their Internal Bulletin (no. 18, Minutes of delegate meeting). Again, creation of the right image being more important than honesty.
Even in its own terms, the populist strategy has failed. Most of the shrinking CW Fed. were eventually forced to recognise the absurdity of a populism that is less and less popular. The decline and split of CW is a reflection of a double-edged apathy towards politics among the working class; a healthy cynicism towards all the political rackets that claim to represent others[6] - but also a resignation and acceptance of conditions born of the defeats of the past 15 years.
CW could at least be seen as a (voluntaristic) attempt to assert a collective class identity and subjectivity when all such subjectivity is being crushed under the weight of isolation and uniformity being imposed on social relations. (In this sense society is more totalitarian now than ever.) To retain any meaningful subjectivity is to retain a point of view - and the ability to act on it. The old forms of struggle and communication have been outmanoeuvred and the working class have yet to adequately create new ones. The tragedy is that CW have tried to resist these developments by adopting the same methods that created them - marketing of politics, simplistic 'analysis', tabloidism etc. (described in more detail in my original article).
CW constantly compare themselves favourably to the rest of the Left. Yet Militant in the 1980s and early '90s had a far better claim to the popularity, influence and membership among the working class that CW dreamed of and still seek - and their politics were still total crap. Which only goes to show the limits of populism and the appeal of simplistic solutions and mechanical activism.
As one of those mentioned by ANIMAL belonging to the high percentage of people who left school with no qualifications (and have never gained any since) I can only humbly say to my more educated friends at ANIMAL that it's you who should know better than to think you have any monopoly on 'A Working Class Point Of View'. Mine (and many others) just don't coincide with yours.
ACATAC - Summer 2000
A Class Act to Abolish Classes
[1] Obviously this can't be misunderstood as support for the dominance of conspiratorial politics. But you use the tactics most appropriate to achieving the goal.
[2] "Like the Leftists they are, Class War has recently proposed a strategy of entrism into these [Neighbourhood Watch] para-State bodies. They dream of kicking out the cops from these cop-initiated Neighbourhood Watch Schemes, a vanguardist fantasy doomed to failure but which may help to boost the image of these schemes amongst the poor and confused. Such entrism is an imagined short-cut, a substitute for the harder task of initiating some anti-mugging, anti-cop, anti-heroin, anti-rapist etc. project completely independent of the State. It's about as subversive as the Trots whose delirium leads them to believe the Labour Party can be turned into a Bolshevik party; that the State can be turned into a Workers' State." (Once Upon a Time There was a Place Called Nothing Hill Gate; BM Blob, London 1988).
[3] Ironically, despite their dismissal of Aufheben as intellectuals and detached theorists, ANIMAL/CW seem to share some of their attitudes with regards to intellectuals and academics: both are too uncritical and respectful of academia. Aufheben's best articles are the ones about recent events (e.g. LA Riots) or struggles they've been involved in (anti-roads, anti-workfare etc.) and the worst are the ones where they abstractly theorise about other theories (USSR, Decadence) to no real practical consequence - except, perhaps, to gain some kind of acceptance from a few boring lefty hackademics. The worst articles in Aufheben are only relevant to the academic study of the class struggle - and not to the practice of the real struggle. Which is ironic considering how active the Aufs have been in various struggles (on occasion alongside CW members!)
"The popular element 'feels' but does not always know or understand; the intellectual element 'knows' but does not always understand and in particular does not always feel. The two extremes are therefore pedantry and philistinism on the one hand and blind passion on the other..."
(Gramsci - Prison Notebooks).
[4] In essence, Freire's ideology boils down to replacing the ideological dominance of the present rulers over 'the oppressed' with the ideological dominance of the educated Leninist leadership, with the willing co-operation and participation of the oppressed (Freire, p. 144, op. cit.). The religious overtones of his servant of the people/guide to consciousness role are shown by one of his enthusiastic quotations: "German Guzman says of Camilo Torres: '...he gave everything. At all times he maintained a vital posture of commitment to the people - as a priest, as a Christian, and as a revolutionary.'" (p. 144, footnote). Freire's libertarian brand of Leninism is plain naive; idealising from afar the heavenly Cuban and Chinese regimes and taking their leader's pronouncements as the gospel truth, he believes these regimes are practising his libertarian educational theories. Yet in his descriptions of the misconceived 'libertarian' equality (really a hierarchical benevolence) he seeks to create in his educational projects, Freire describes everything that social relationships are not under the Stalinist regimes. And in 30 years of various reprints of his book, Freire has never felt the need to revise his opinion of Stalinism expressed in it. Maybe Freire lacks a 'dialogical encounter' with himself and the educator needs educating... Freire's ideas are so threatening to the ruling class that he has for four years been funded by those well-known organs of subversion, the United Nations and the World Council of Churches.
[5] The quote goes on to say that eventually the paternalistic teacher-student relationship can be overcome - but Freire's theories never doubt the need for professional educational specialist and/or revolutionary leadership in their role as deliverers of consciousness and the tools for it. (Free Brains for the working class, anyone?)
[6] The decline of the Left as well as in numbers of people voting are evidence of this.

Off The Record - Online PR
Death Vessel
Artist: Death Vessel
Album: Island Intervals
Label: Sub Pop / Cargo Records
That Joel Thibodeau’s slender, winsome voice is at once so comforting and so unsettling might be the greatest of his many strengths. Reed-thin but sturdy, youthful but somehow ageless, its deep benevolence is also slightly eerie, and the way he gently walks the line between intense feeling and contemplative remove lets him sing from a timeless place where he evokes the beauty of vanished people and places, sweetness too profound for words, loss too great for tears.
Like Nico’s, Jimmy Scott’s, or Phil Elverum’s, Joel’s is a voice that demands its own sonic and lyrical world, and with Island Intervals, his third record as Death Vessel (and second for Sub Pop), we’re treated to the sound of him finding a rich and strange new home among new friends in Iceland who probably saw him as a long-lost relative. Joel’s an inveterate and intuitive wanderer; when I met him years ago, he’d just spent a few months traveling the United States on Greyhound buses, sometimes sleeping rough, and making a record from found moments. I remember he had an otherworldly quality about him that I couldn’t quite name, like he’d just blown in on the wind.
Island Intervals springs from a more recent journey. For his first album since 2008’s acclaimed Nothing Is Precious Enough for Us, Joel traveled to Reykjavík on an invitation from Sigur Rós singer Jónsi and producer Alex Somers, where they spent three months together conjuring an album that’s both a song cycle and a window into a mysterious and singular landscape. From the creaking bellows of the pump organ that opens the astonishing, hymn-like „Ejecta,“ to the fragmented voices that sway and swirl through the closing “Loom,” Island Intervals wraps Joel’s voice and furtive guitar in sounds that evoke not so much a band playing as elemental forces of earth and water; multi-instrumentalist Pete Donnelly (The Figgs, NRBQ) along with percussionists Samuli Kosminen (Múm) and Thorvaldur „Doddi“ Thorvaldsson assist Somers in creating a rich and multi-layered world that sounds, at times, like a well-tuned forest sighing and bending in a gale, or the deep cracks and booms of a glacier calving its way to the sea.
Along the way, one revelation after another approaches and withdraws, as each song shifts between sonic vistas so vast and deep they inspire head-shaking awe and a focused closeness so intense that it seems equally grand. It’s like a sonic version of the short film Powers of Ten and clearly the product of obsessive effort, but it all feels very alive in a way I’ve never quite heard before. Joel somehow captures the moments of life when we see ourselves most clearly in realizing who we aren’t, moments of opening doors with joy and closing them with respect, and of the terrors and delights of glimpsing our own lives in a universal context. Songs like “Mercury Dime” and “Island Vapors” tumble headlong and downhill, while “Ilsa Drown,” a collaboration with Jónsi, captures the unearthly delirium of a climb above tree line. That’s a hell of a bar to rise to lyrically, but Joel does it again and again, with tangles of words knotted into language that evokes a stuttering clarity.
But it’s a clarity that can’t last. “I don’t know how to behave when there’s nothing in my way,” he admits in “Loom,” a little ruefully, and it’s easy to imagine him making his bed before dawn and leaving the chorus in a note by the door: “I don’t want to owe you my only open road to goodbye.” And then, just like that, he’s gone. Island Intervals lives in the spaces between running away and letting go, and finds its author embracing a life whose most solid, real moments loom and vanish, like a range of mountains that emerges from a bank of low clouds, and just as suddenly slips away.

Chairman’s Report for 2009
Chairman’s Report, 2009
As I approach my final year as Chairman I am pleased to report proposed changes in the membership and funding provision for the Trust, which I hope will help us to maintain the level of financial assistance to the repair of Christian churches in the county.
A number of Charitable Trusts support our work and to these we are most grateful. Their money provides ‘third party funding’ which is necessary to allow Entrust giants to be made by the Trust from the funds which are allocated to it each year by Waste Reclamation Environmental (WREN). In 2008/9 this has allowed us to support 49 churches with assistance varying from £200 to £5,000, and the Trustees’ Special Award of £11,330 to St. Andrew’s Church, Langar.
The closing of landfill sites and the increased recycling programme has resulted in the reduction of the amount of grant money available to WREN to distribute nationally, and last year’s allocation to NCHT of £100,000 has had to be reduced to £60,000 for 2009. The Trust is very grateful for this sum but views the potential reductions of future years with some trepidation. Unless the amount or number of grants given by the Trust is to be reduced the shortfall will have to be met in other ways. The Trust must re-assess its position and the possible sources of additional income.
The Ride and Stride in September raises a substantial sum each year, and the Trust greatly appreciates all the enthusiastic work put in by Boby Stefanov and Mike Elliott to make it such a success. There is great scope for increasing the level of participation by church members and supporters, and making the most of a very enjoyable and successful way of raising funds. If each of the Anglican, Roman Catholic, Methodist, Baptist and United Reformed churches in the county could be encouraged to participate we should have more churches to visit and meet a wider variety of interesting people as we walk or cycle from one venue to another. Some other county church trusts seem able to raise twice the sum we do, and I urge eveiyone to make the most of this great opportunity.
The Trustees are seeking to expand the role of the ‘Friends’ and combining them with those people who are more loosely associated with Nottinghamshire Historic Churches, as well as all those who have an interest in the preservation of our chinch buildings. The re-formed group will enjoy visits to churches, informed and interesting talks, a Summer Party and concessions at our concerts or events, in exchange for a small annual subscription. I am looking for someone to take the honorary position of Membership Secretary who could co-ordinate suggestions for activities and organise visits. Please don’t hold back if you think you can help, either individually or on a job share basis.
The Summer Party at Clumber Park was well attended and enjoyed by all after the torrential rain storm at the start had passed over. This year the Summer Party will be combined with our bi-annual concert in Southwell Minster which will be given by Cantamus Girls Choir. I anticipate a sell-out, and further funds and general awareness of the Trust’s objectives and activities.
For the first time the Trust has produced its own Christmas cards to raise further funds and to extend our area of interest. The first year’s sales have almost covered the printing costs. The Trustees will be happy to receive any requests for packs of five A5 cards with envelopes at £2.50 each which will show us a small profit. We intend to add to this with another, smaller, card in the future.
This report seems to be a plea for cash and I don’t apologise, because we cannot fulfil our charitable status without adequate funds to assist those who look after the county’s many historic church buildings.
Finally I wish to thank all our Patrons, Trustees and officers for their continued support. Their names appear elsewhere in the annual report along with further, more detailed information on the year’s activity.

Novel Tips
“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.” -- Jane Austen
Tracks in the Snow: Mystery, Meaning, and Metaphor
Last weekend we woke to unidentifiable footprints out the front door. After omitting the usual suspects (Cat? Dog? Raccoon? Fox?) we were at a loss. Still are. Still perplexed. And slightly perplexed is mightily entertaining. It triggers the imagination, invites you to solve a puzzle, and keeps you alert and engaged. Will there be a different, better hint?
Tip: The great secrets of fiction leave you wondering, long after the clues melt away.
In this sense, every novel is a mystery novel—whether or not you include corpses or detectives. Your readers try to guess what’s ahead, what this detail signifies, and how the protagonist earns the ending. If you’re doing your job right, they continue guessing. Until the end. That’s where the surprise materializes. Not a total one, of course. The best endings leave readers scratching their heads over all those clever clues—not one of them misleading—that cause the ending. But never obviously. That’s where ambiguity comes in.
Milan Kundera observed that “The greater the ambiguity, the greater the pleasure.” To approach an almost-imitation of life, fiction can’t be too clear. After all, in reality, when is any choice or belief or outcome ever crystalline? For example, is the borderline between life and death always a given?
That’s why Joyce Carol Oates said that novelists toy with “The ideal art, the noblest of art: working with the complexities of life, refusing to simplify, to ‘overcome’ doubt.” If you already know all the answers, are you sure that fiction is what you want to write?
Like Oates, Scott Turow, famed for legal thrillers, believes that “The purpose of narrative is to present us with complexity and ambiguity.” What motivates folks to keep reading if you spell everything out?
Readers want footprints—visible, but not unequivocally identifiable. One of the best ways to get there? Metaphor.
Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse relies heavily on the central metaphor of its title. But what exactly does it mean? The unattainable? The illuminating? The permanent in the face of mortality? Art? Love? All of the above?
The fun is guessing, just as it’s fun to speculate why Jonathan Franzen called his book “Purity,” why Shauna Singh Baldwin chose the title “What the Body Remembers,” or the precise meaning of the bloom at the center of Jean Hanff Korelitz’s The White Rose.
Guessing keeps people turning pages. Or pondering pawprints. Those melted before we could figure them out. And that’s okay, because “Neurosis is the inability to tolerate ambiguity,” Sigmund Freud claimed. And ambiguity is the privilege of drawing your own conclusions.
We can continue daydreaming about what marvelous creature strolled across our yard in the dark of night. Ambiguity lets things linger in memory. Fiction holds that same power. If you let it.

Opera for the Novelist?
Don’t enjoy listening to it? That’s fine. It’s an acquired taste—like blue cheese or the musty Indian spice Asafoetida. And yet regardless of your genre, goals, or commitment to gravitas, a taste of operatic idiosyncrasy might zestfully season your fiction. And you needn’t endure a single high-pitched note to apply these possibilities.
~ Passion.
Not just with a capital “P.” Rather, an entire word that’s capitalized in boldface. Consider Donizetti’s Roberto Devereux. The Queen loves Essex (Devereux), who’s madly in love with his dearest friend’s wife. It can’t end well. Spoiler: it doesn’t. And this has to do with contemporary fiction because…
…the higher the stakes, then the better. Build Concept. Corner your characters. Want your audience to feel passion? Escalate the tension. Escalate it even more.
~ Motif.
Many of the loveliest operas revisit musical themes. But exploring themes radically differs from merely repeating them. This concept functions the way a poet plays off the six central worlds that build the sestina form: each encounter differs at least slightly. Same with the scarlet letter in Hawthorne’s novel: always similar, never identical. That familiar yet new variation amplifies tension, resonance, and complexity. Chillingworth, Pearl, Dimmesdale, and Hester all view that letter differently—and thus readers do, as well. This is relevant to you because…
…the best fiction has texture. Layers of meaning emerge from words and symbols echoing off each other. And recurrent variations let the audience intimately connect your world with their own—the way years of varied encounters cement a friendship.
~ Climax.
People who adore opera rarely notice how long it takes the protagonist to die, while that’s the first thing people who dislike opera mock. Why must it take so long? Because a lot has gone into this ending. Why rush questions like who lives, rules the kingdom, gets revenge, and wins true love (usually no one). This relates to contemporary fiction because…
…big stories need big resolution. Consider proportion. If your scenario is low key, as many good ones are, then hurry up. But if you’ve posed huge dramatic questions, give your audience enough time to savor, wind down, exhale.
~ Theme.
It’s likely a good thing that we no longer fuss much about honor. But the ageless questions of morality, betrayal, hope, irony, and sacrifice matter to you because you’re a contemporary novelist. Those questions will be the crux of story—forever.
Tip: Fiction comes not only from the imagination, but the world. The more of the world you put in, then the more your readers will get out of the fictional world you create.

Are You Omitting Someone from the Conversation?
Could be, unless both narrator and characters participate in dialogue. Why the narrator? Because despite substantial overlap in first person point of view, the narrator’s always a step ahead of the character. As storyteller, the narrator already knows the ending, and describes the trouble, rather than enduring it. Finally, the compassionate, insightful, charming, witty narrator can accomplish many things that characters can’t. Like speed up dialogue.
In rare instances, the tension soars and the dialogue is pitch-perfect. Then the narrator summarizing or describing would damage that white-hot pacing. Usually, though, you achieve optimal grounding, momentum, and insight when the narrator and characters create the illusion of conversation, which isn't much like an actual conversation. In this example from Saturday, Baxter and his accomplice Nigel hold an entire family hostage, including pregnant young Daisy:
Baxter puts his right hand in his pocket again. “All right, all right,” he says querulously. “I’ll kill you first.” Then he brings his gaze back onto Daisy and repeats in exactly the same tone as before, “So, what’s your name then?”
She steps clear of her mother and tells him. Theo unfolds his arms. Nigel stirs and moves a little closer to him. Daisy is staring right at Baxter, but her look is terrified, her voice is breathless and her chest rises and falls rapidly.
“Daisy?” The name sounds improbable on Baxter’s lips, a foolish, vulnerable nursery name. “And what’s that short for?”
“Little Miss Nothing.” Baxter is moving behind the sofa on which Grammaticus is lying, and beside which Rosalind stands.
Daisy says, “If you leave now and never come back I give you my word we won’t phone the police. You can take anything you want. Please, please go.”
Even before she’s finished, Baxter and Nigel are laughing. -- Ian McEwan, Saturday
What if each character talked constantly instead of the narrator paraphrasing? What if you cut what the narrator adds to this passage? No, the narrator and characters must hold their own dialogue, with the narrator speeding, hinting, developing.
At the opening of Alice Hoffman’s Here on Earth, the mother and daughter have a brief exchange about being in a strange place, mired in the mud in an unpredictable car:
“We’re going to get stuck,” March’s daughter, Gwen, announces. Always the voice of doom.
“No, we won’t,” March insists.
Three paragraphs of narrator summary bring readers to the climax, omitting the obvious or redundant.
“We’ll get out of here,” she tells her daughter. “Have no fear.” But when she turns the key the engine grunts, then dies.
“I told you,” Gwen mutters under her breath.
Tip: In dialogue and elsewhere, the narrator and characters must fulfill their respective roles.

Don’t Name That Donkey
You know you want to. Perhaps you already have. Jenny or Jack, Don or Danielle, you worked hard to imagine every aspect of this scene. How big is the pasture, how decrepit the barn, how blue the sky, how scratchy the straw. As a novelist, it’s your job to visualize all that. But that’s not your primary job. What is? Deciding what distracts and cutting it.
So. If Donatello merely shakes off flies rather than motivating or executing the upcoming murder, we don’t care that he prefers clover to alfalfa. And he doesn’t need a name.
Tip: The fact that you created or discovered it doesn’t mean that you should include it.
Why not omit all the extraneous material that clogs novels? Here’s a start:
~ Heaps of adjectives.
Do you really need more than one? If it’s the right one?
~ Personal memories.
Does this matter to the story, or only to you?
~ Fun facts.
Do they make your novel more fun—or less?
~ Repetition.
Do readers really want watch another character learn what readers already know?
Lack of focus blurs narrative—any kind of narrative. Aristotle laid this down in The Poetics, where he said that fiction imitates reality, but not exactly.
That’s because story is orderly rather than chaotic; it transforms random details into a credible and causal pattern that an audience can follow. Excessive or irrelevant detail, however fascinating, interferes. Unless specifics add tension or clarify causality, they actually subtract.
In an intriguing twist, playwright/actor Sean Grennan served on a jury and offered attorneys advice on how narrative engages and persuades. Here’s an excerpt from “Unsolicited Advice,” published in The American Bar Association Journal:
If your practice involves talking to a jury, then your profession is storytelling….Rule # 1: (Less is more. (See also: Try not to bore us.)… In good storytelling, anything that’s not your friend is your enemy, just like Thanksgiving with your family.
Take that wonderful, genius, world-changing, vivid detail you’ve come up with, and if it is a digression, delete it. Anything that slows or distracts or confuses is a problem.
Like the name of that donkey. Make your case. Delete clutter. Let your primary characters breathe and act—without Darcy the darling, dappled, dimple-cheeked, dreamy, drama queen.

Wayne Community Schools releases statement on COVID-19 virus
Fri, 03/13/2020 - 4:56pm admin
The following is a statement released Friday, March 13 by Dr. Mark Lenihan, Superintendent of Wayne Community Schools:
"The administration at Wayne Community Schools is closely monitoring the situation of the COVID-19 virus on a daily basis. We have been in contact with Northeast Nebraska Public Health regularly, and will continue to take recommendations on needed measures to keep our staff and students safe and healthy.
"This morning Governor Pete Ricketts held a press conference with other state health officials and the Commissioner of Education. During the press conference the Governor encouraged schools to communicate with parents and community members."
"Based on current information and recommendations from state and public health officials, Wayne Community Schools will continue to remain open and have school as scheduled. We believe that having students in school is the best and safest manner to proceed at this time. If we are informed by public health officials or state officials that we are to close school, it will occur in a prompt manner and we want parents to be prepared. That being said, parents should begin to have conversations about a contingency plan for an extended closure of school. According to the Governor, this closure could extend up to 6-8 weeks. We are having discussions at school to determine what educational opportunities might exist if a lengthy delay of the school year occurs," Dr. Lenihan said.
"This continues to be a very fluid situation and we will continue to try to make the best decisions, in consultation with our health department and other state officials. As always, parents have the choice to keep their child(ren) home at their discretion. If you, as a parent, choose to do so, please be sure to call your school office," Dr. Lenihan said.

Watch a Robot Dog Learn How to Deftly Fend Off a Human
STUDY HARD ENOUGH, kids, and maybe one day you'll grow up to be a professional robot fighter. A few years ago, Boston Dynamics set the standard for the field by having people wielding hockey sticks try to keep Spot the quadrupedal robot from opening a door. Previously, in 2015, the far-out federal research agency Darpa hosted a challenge in which it forced clumsy humanoid robots to embarrass themselves on an obstacle course way outside the machines' league. (I once asked you, dear readers, to stop laughing at them, but have since changed my mind.) And now, behold: The makers of the Jueying robot dog have taught it a fascinating way to fend off a human antagonizer who kicks it over or pushes it with a stick.
A team of researchers from China's Zhejiang University—where the Jueying's hardware was also developed—and the University of Edinburgh didn't teach the Jueying how to recover after an assault, so much as they let the robot figure it out. It's a dramatic departure from how a hardware developer like Boston Dynamics goes about teaching a robot how to move, using decades of human experience to hard code, line by line, the way a robot is supposed to react to stimuli like, um, a person's foot.
But there's got to be a better way. Imagine, if you will, a soccer team. Midfielders, strikers, and a goalkeeper all do generally soccer-esque things like running and kicking, but each position has its own specialized skills that make it unique. The goalkeeper, for instance, is the only person on the field who can grab the ball with their hands without getting yelled at.
In traditional methods of training robots, you'd have to meticulously code all of those specialized behaviors. For instance, how should the actuators—motors that move a robot's limbs—coordinate to make the machine run like a midfielder? "The reality is that if you want to send a robot into the wild to do a wide range of different tasks and missions, you need different skills, right?" says University of Edinburgh roboticist Zhibin Li, corresponding author on a recent paper in the journal Science Robotics describing the system.

Introducing Doniga Markegard
This fall we’ll publish Dawn Again: Tracking the Wisdom of the Wild, by Doniga Markegard. We’re excited about this book (Starhawk is writing the foreword!!), a memoir that traces Doniga’s life from the time she was a teenager seeking direction and meaning, through her time at the Wilderness Awareness School in the Pacific Northwest, from her studies with Lakota elder Gilbert Tatanka Mani, to tracking mountain lions along California’s rugged coast, to falling in love with a rancher named Erik and starting a life and a family with him. Doniga’s understanding of the natural world, and the lessons it holds for all of us make this memoir a must-read for anyone longing for a deeper connection with nature. When you order Dawn Again through our pre-sale, you get access to a thirty-minute long audio file called Tracking for Beginners, in which Doniga offers tips and advice so you can get started right now, no matter where you are.
We had a chance to ask Doniga some questions about Dawn Again. Here’s our conversation:
When you think back to where you were in your life when you began learning to track, what kind of road might you have followed if tracking and wilderness studies had not presented itself as an option?
That is an interesting question. I discovered tracking when I was searching for meaning in my life and a direction where I could feel part of the solution to some of the destructive things I saw happening around me. As a child I would often ride my horse on logging roads and witness an entire hillside clearcut. When I began traveling the county and seeing crop dusters spraying chemicals on long rows of monocrops I became further disillusioned. I had grown up close to nature and the beauty of rivers and trees. It was not until I began tracking that I connected the pleasures I felt or fully understood that the life I experienced growing up was being threatened by over extraction of resources. I think if I had not discovered tracking I may have followed what the people around me were doing instead of following my heart. It is hard to say where I would have ended up because my life took so many turns, yet I was always led back to nature.
What do you think Gilbert Tatanka Mani saw in you that made him want to work with you?
Gilbert did not just mentor anyone who came along. Some people would visit searching for spirituality and he would remain silent. He had a way of knowing what stories and lessons to share at just the right moment. I think what he first saw in me was a passion for learning everything about nature and he admired that. At first he did not pay too much attention but taught me small things such as how to make prayer ties or a sacred song. When he would share something with me I would immediately take it on in my life and practice it daily. It was this dedication that he saw in me and led him to share more. When I would tell Gilbert what I learned and stories about my time in nature he would share more. This grew to a very deep spiritual relationship, one that I had not expected going in, yet emerged in the most natural way.
You kept extensive tracking journals that you were able to go back to in writing this memoir. What went through your mind as you pored over those?
I loved looking back at my old tracking journals. It was like peering back in time to the first discoveries of the stories that are all around us. The maps I drew immediately brought up vivid memories of the places I frequently tracked. I could almost smell the cottonwood buds and hear the rivers and feel the rocky sand beneath my feet.
What has tracking brought to your life?
Tracking has brought a deeper sense of my own connection to everything around me. It has also brought me a deeper connection to myself. When tracking an animal I put myself in the past, present and future in order to gain clues about the animal, what it was doing, where it was going, when it passed by and why the animal was moving the way it was moving. When I track I ask a lot of questions. These types of questions, who, what, when, where, why and how can be applied to anything in my life. Solving mysteries of tracking can convert to problem solving at my own ranch. Tracking also brought me a very keen sense of observation. While tracking I am constantly looking at the natural cycles around me to take in the bigger picture of the story. Now that I am practicing regenerative agriculture, that keen sense of observation has been key to making good decisions for our family and our land.
What did you learn about your own experiences in tracking, ranching, and raising a family by writing Dawn Again?
Writing Dawn Again provided me with a time to reflect. I think often times people do not take the time to do that in their lives and they may keep moving forward without learning the lessons from the past. Writing the book also gave me an opportunity to be thankful for the gifts I have been given. I felt so grateful for the lessons of nature, the mentors in my life and my family that have all shaped who I am and the outcome of what my life has become. Often when I was writing and thinking very hard about how to approach a chapter or a subject I would do research of things that were already written, but that did not give me the feeling that I was complete about my writing. What helped me to round out my stories of the past was when I walked outside and interacted with nature, or sat down and had a conversation about the subject with my husband, children or friends. One time I was writing a story about a coyote and I walked out my front door and a coyote was standing up on the ridge. When I was writing I was paying very close attention to everything around me, just like tracking I was looking into the past, present and future through all of my senses. What really came out when I was writing was the less tangible sense of instinct. I just got into a zone, like when I trail an animal. My fingers moved and not many thoughts went through my head as the words came on the screen.
See and hear more from Doniga Markegard here on the San Francisco Exploratorium website, where Doniga is part of a permanent exhibit called Listen.
will be published November 1, 2017. Our pre-sale is on now, through the summer. You can follow Doniga Markegard on Instagram to see nature through her eyes, and to glimpse some artifacts of her tracker past.

This is the first of a series of studies of the plants and flowers either directly connected with the Greek mythology, or expressive of more recent phases of thought or sentiment which have risen out of the more ancient myths. And I place these floral exercises first, because they will test what faculty you have for real drawing in the simplest way; and will at once draw your attention to some of the most interesting features both of Greek decoration, of mediæval sculpture, and of pictorial backgrounds of the best periods towards the close of the fifteenth century. And even should you do no more than endeavour to measure and trace one or two of them, they will open your eyes to the differences between fine ornamentation and the rigidities and equalities of modern vulgar design.
After these, the eight examples, 13 to 20, with their sequels, when completed, will illustrate the conventional system of the early schools of colour, and their special methods of ornamental line, as derived from vegetation or other organic forms.
Then the group 21 to 30, with their sequels, will illustrate the Greek treatment of ornamental line, and the forms of good architectural decoration in every school.
The following group, 31 to 40, introduces the practice of chiaroscuro, and the complete methods of ornamentation founded on perfect draughtsmanship and perception of light and shade.
Lastly, the group 41 to 50 is for practice in colours in the methods of the fully accomplished schools of painting.
It is of so great importance in any series of examples arranged for general service, that the references should be fixed and clear, that I shall sacrifice at once to this object every pretence to formal succession in arrangement. I have begun almost miscellaneously, with slight exercises in various methods of work: to these, I shall gradually add more difficult and interesting ones. But I will not alter the numbers of this first group; but distinguish the supplementary ones by letters after the numbers. Some even of the drawings intended for this opening series are not yet prepared; but I have named them in the catalogue notwithstanding, and will complete and add them as soon as may be.
I have several reasons for choosing this conventional branch of laurel for your first exercise. It will show you in the outset, that refinement in design does not depend on minuteness or fineness of work, but on its precision and care. These lines look coarse, but you will find they cannot be altered in curvature by a very small fraction of an inch without losing grace, and that it is very difficult to follow their curvatures without altering them, owing to their continual subtlety of change.
Also, it is not possible to express the general characters of growth in noble vegetation, with fewer or simpler lines. It is easy to make leaves and stems graceful, but not to make them springy and vigorous as well: and the especial beauty of this group of foliage as terminating the rod of Apollo is the strength with which it is springing, and the visible presence in the god’s virgin sceptre of the life which in the king’s is lost. (Look at the words of the vow of Achilles.)
Also, note the quaint little stiff leaf at the bottom, which you would think had been drawn wrongly. In vulgar design, everything is equally graceful; but in fine design, there are local uncouthnesses, as, in fine music, discords.
For the rest, the diminution of the stem for each leaf is much greater than it would be in reality: this is a necessary conventionalism, in order to terminate the strong rod within brief limits; but nothing can be more perfect than its rendering of the universal law of ramification; and even the apparent coarseness of the lines is only caused by enlargement of scale, for this example is much magnified; in the original it is only about an inch high, and the lines are all thickened by cross strokes, not by deeper engraving.
In copying it, take the finer outline, 3 B; measure all the rectilinear dimensions accurately, and having thus fixed the points of the leaves, draw the contours with light pencil, as in 3 B, as truly as you can, then finally draw them with the brush (as in 3), with violet carmine mixed with Indian red, keeping the outside edge of the broad colour line, terminated by the fine pencil one. But first, read the directions given for colour under No. 14; and observe also that, even in the most complicated forms, as 11 D, for instance, you are to fix points with absolute accuracy by rectilinear measurement, and not to use squares over the whole. Squaring is good for reduction, and for advanced practice, but at first all must be measured point by point.

Why do people pay £4000 for a stand at Bett and then have no idea what they are going to do there?
‘We’ll tell people about our products, they say’ but then you see them standing there looking a little anxious, clutching their expensive glossy brochures, willing people to stop and talk to them.
There has to be a better way and indeed there is as Anna Pedroza, owner of PR agency Anna Pedroza Communication, and I explained in our interview with Russell Prue. Click on the bar above the picture and have a listen,

An overview of a whole topic at a glance
Bett Award finalists Matchware offer top tips for introducing mind mapping into your school
Matchware (stand C142), a Bett Awards finalist in the Higher or Further Education Digital Services category, is looking forward to showing Bett visitors the latest version of their software MindView, the industry leader in mind mapping,
Often described as a visual thinking tool, MindView encourages learners and teachers to structure information in different ways so they can see the whole, the different parts and the connections in between.
It is well known that the visual approach of mind mapping can help the 10 to 15% of the population who have dyslexia or associated Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD), but it is also a wonderful tool for EAL students and those still to develop full fluency in English who will find that the visual representation of knowledge is so much easier for them to understand and recall.
To help schools and colleges not yet up to speed with mind mapping, Matchware’s manager David Kidd offers these top tips for introducing it into the classroom:
• Fire up your students: MindView is an excellent notetaking and idea generation tool classroom that encourages students to brainstorm and organise ideas for written documents and presentations. As a starting point choose a topic where students have prior knowledge or strong opinions and can collaborate.
• Think visual: Young people switch off if they are listening for too long. Mind maps often work better than linear presentation slides but for maximum effect incorporate pictures, colours, different fonts or text styles to make the ideas stand out.
• Expand and contract: Remind students that they need to crystallise their thoughts into a word or key phrase, a picture or symbol, a vital skill in an age where we are all overloaded with information. Then show them how to build on key words to create fuller accounts or more detailed work, gathering examples and evidence.
• Stretch the mind: Mind mapping helps us to gather, sort, structure and create in different ways. It also is a great aid to memory and learning. Once you have a fairly detailed mind map, switch off the screen and ask students to recall sections.
• Use MindView in the flipped classroom: It is often hard for students to evidence the work they have done before coming to the classroom and for students new to English it is a good way for them to process and interact with language and build their comprehension skills alongside curriculum learning.
• Try mind mapping as a planning tool: Teachers tell us that they use MindView to help with lesson planning, report writing and for curriculum planning, using the built in Gantt chart and Office integration. This gives them a clear visual overview of what needs to be covered.
• Make MindView a regular feature in the classroom: Mind mapping should not be a one-off. Plan to use it regularly for several weeks so it is seen as an accepted strategy in class and not as something special.
There are so many advantages to incorporating mind mapping into teaching and learning. Find out more from the MindView team on stand C142 at the Bett show https://www.matchware.com/mind-mapping-software

Making an impact with music technology
January 8, 2019 awards, BETT, vocationalmusic technologySal
Music is no longer just about playing instruments or singing. Many careers now require young people to be familiar with industry standard music technology and this is where so many schools fall down.
Not so Gable Hall in Essex, a performing arts school, part of the ORTU Federation, where almost every year group routinely uses the technology for composing, performing and recording.
This has paid off. As well as achieving academic success – a 100 % pass rate in Music GCSE – students have gone on to greater glory with Louisa Johnson winning the X Factor in 2015 and Ruti Olajugbagbe winning The Voice UK in April 2018.
‘The profile of music and our students’ success is largely attributable to the excellent facilities. We try to get every year group to use the technology and get them doing sequencing and composing on the computer,’ said Faye Beamish Head of Music, Ortu Gable Hall. ‘It is really important that the technology is seamless so lessons run smoothly and the young people can just get on with making music.’
Their technology is supplied and managed by Counterpoint Ltd, and means that the students are building the skills they will need when working in professional recording studios in the future. It also gives the staff and students confidence: ‘When the music technology works in the classroom – put simply – we can then focus on what we do best,’ said Beamish.
As well as producing stars of tomorrow – or even today- Ortu Gable Hall runs a roadshow every year where the students go out and perform their best work in local schools putting into practice what they have learned in the classroom. This helps to build student confidence performing in front of large audiences.
They have been shortlisted in the Impact Award category of the BETT Awards 2019. See their video entry here – bettawards.com/impact-award-2019-finalists/
Nationwide search for the very best EdTech schools
November 24, 2018 awards, New technologies, software, trainingEdTEchSal

Schools can nominate themselves, or be nominated by a third party, and the deadline for entries is Friday 18th January 2019. Successful schools will be featured in the Edtech 50 Schools publication and be invited to a House of Lords reception celebrating edtech in schools.
Edtech 50 Schools kicks off with a nationwide tour of some of the leading edtech schools in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland including Seaview Primary School in Belfast, Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Bro Edern in Cardiff, and Acklam Grange Teaching School in Middlesborough. These pioneering schools, and others, will be helping to launch Edtech50 Schools and to spread the word across the whole of UK.
Edtech 50 Schools is organised by the Education Foundation and CEO & Founder, Ty Goddard said: “It is a key moment for edtech. Earlier this year, the Secretary of State for Education was clear that the power of technology could provide significant support to help students learn, reduce teachers’ workload and save money. There is great potential for edtech to help make a difference but it needs to be the right technology, implemented effectively, and with good support for staff. The Edtech 50 wants to shine a spotlight on the schools leading the way, which we hope can inspire other schools.”
Award-winning edtech expert and ex teacher, Mark Anderson, joins Ty Goddard on the tour. The duo are taking to the road in a camper van to meet school leaders, host roundtable debates and speak directly to students and teachers.
Mark Anderson said: “I work with schools daily to help them get the very best they can from the edtech they have access to. The Edtech 50 Schools tour is about shining a spotlight on the schools in the UK that are doing amazing things every day to support, enhance and transform teaching and learning with technology to help children get the very best out of our education system.”
You can nominate a school for the Edtech 50 Schools by visiting https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/edtech50schools Nominations close on Friday 18th January 2019. Following this, an independent judging panel will select the top 50 schools, which will be announced in April 2019.
Edtech 50 Schools is supported by Intel and partners JISC, NetSupport, and the Independent Schools Council Digital Group.
AWARD nominations – Recognising those who change lives and build futures
January 8, 2018 awards, training, vocational, youth and communityparenting, vocationalSal
Looking for awards to celebrate the achievement of some of those who work with children and young people?
The UK office of an Israeli charity called WIZO (www.wizo.org) has just launched its 3rd annual Commitment Awards which recognises people committed to using their skills and opportunities to address the needs of others. They are looking for individuals who can be of any race, religion or gender and nominations close on Wednesday 31 January 2018 so get your skates on.
The nomination process is quick and simple – just one form which you can download here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_s72CMa3fS6ZWtRVWpETXMxRFE/view
There are a total of 15 categories but here are some that might be of particular interest: Commitment to Education – Early Years’, which acknowledges an organisation, institution, teaching professional or childcare provider in early childcare and education services. Nominees will have generated exceptional spirit and energy in providing better experiences for children and families and will have made an outstanding contribution to the early years.
‘Commitment to Vocational Training’, which acknowledges an individual, programme or centre for education with a proven record of encouraging and believing in students who cannot easily be integrated into a regular educational framework. The successful nominee will have given students the tools to develop individual talents, reach their potential and to leave school to become skilled employees.
Commitment to Strengthening Parenting Skills
This Award recognises a practitioner, programme or facility that has been successful in educating, nurturing or counselling parents, giving them the support and tools to strengthen their parenting abilities and ensure family welfare.
‘Commitment to the Betterment of Others’, which acknowledges an individual aged 16-25 who has given time, selflessly, to make a difference to the lives of those around him/her. Examples could include those who have run fundraising events, worked on community-based projects or made time to leave a mark on someone else’s life.
Hip hop dance stars turn out to support Autism with Attitude street dance group
January 4, 2018 autism, awards, gifted and talented, youth and communitydance, hip hopSal
Big names in hip hop, many of them from the highly acclaimed TV show Britain’s Got Talent, have signed up to a benefit night for Autism with Attitude street dance group from Hillingdon Manor School.
Boy Blue Entertainment, UMA, Definitive, IMD, Unity and all girl trio Code 3 who were semi-finalists in 2017 have all agreed to perform at the Broadway Theatre in East London on January 20th 2018. “It’s a fantastic line-up of mainstream and special needs acts,” said their dance teacher Jonathan Baron. “Some of the most influential dance companies out there are lending their support.”
Autism with Attitude, a talented and successful street dance group based at the Uxbridge school, have made history by being the first ever special needs dance group to get to United Dance Organisations (UDO) European Championships. This year the championships are being held 11-13 May in Kalkar in Germany.
The organisers are looking at the logistics, finding a local hotel close to the venue and trying to make sure everything is as calm and organised as possible so that the students, who are all on the autistic spectrum, can give of their best.
The first step is to raise money for the trip and Jonathan has been using his industry contacts, networking and taking the students to perform and participate in different events. “This is huge,” said Jonathan Baron. “We are taking 12 to 15 young people with autism over to Germany to perform in front of an international audience. All the artists I have spoken to are really proud of Autism with Attitude and are keen to show their support by giving their time and energy to make the fundraiser a success.”
Some of the students have never been abroad before but they are no stranger to the world of dance performance. They are all highly trained and work hard to build both their physical abilities and their people skills. They know that the staff at Hillingdon Manor School expect them to be ambassadors for autism, showing what young people with disabilities can achieve.
Autism with Attitude have certainly made an impression on the world of hip hop dance and will be meeting some of their idols. “Boy Blue are one of the most renowned companies in the UK,” said Jonathan. “Our students study them for GCSE; now they’re performing on the same bill.”
The performance will take place at 7:00 pm Sat, 20 Jan 2018 at The Broadway, Broadway, Barking, IG11 7LS. Tickets are priced at £13.00 ( £9.00 concessions) and can be booked online at https://www.thebroadwaybarking.com/sales/genres/community/autism-with-attitude-fundraise
Tourist in Thailand
May 10, 2016 awards, Politicsaward, Business Education, CIPRSal
Last November I won the CIPR Award for Outstanding Business Education Journalism 2015 for a series of articles about Apps for Good, a scheme that gets primary and secondary pupils to create an app, plan their pitch and show how they would bring it to market. I already had a trip to Hong Kong and Australia in my sights and decided to use the prize money to visit Thailand on the way home.
I soon learned that April is not the best month to visit Bangkok. With temperatures of 38 degrees and high humidity, I spent my time scurrying between the tourist attractions and anywhere with even a hint of air con.
I found that £500 goes a long way in Bangkok as my prize paid for four nights in a hotel, a half day guided tour of the city, canals and temples plus a full day visit to the River Kwai at Kanchanaburi to see the famous Bridge over the River Kwai, the Allied War Cemetery and Museum and a trip on Death Railway followed by an elephant ride.
Along the way I talked to locals and discovered a little about life behind the tourist sites. Thailand means Land of the Free and celebrates the fact that this country is the only one in south east Asia which has never been colonised by a foreign power.
Some of the anxieties expressed by Thai people are very similar to concerns in the UK right now. They respect their King – now the longest-reigning living monarch in the world- but are not so sure about his heir, so much so that there is talk of changing the law to allow his sister to take the throne.
Immigration is a key concern. Many complain that the Chinese have bought up property as an investment and as prices have risen, young people cannot get on the housing ladder. The average age for marriage is now over 30.
They also worry that legislative changes to the rules on migration for countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) will allow free passage of other nationals into Thailand, especially from the Philippines. ‘Filipinos speak better English than Thais,’ explained my guide Michael, ‘and they are also noted for their good voices so they are likely to corner the market in professional singing jobs.’
The minimum wage in Thailand is just £5 per day but the top jobs which many young people aspire to are as plastic surgeons and cosmetic dentists. This is a country where looks count. The most popular anti-ageing cream is Snail White. Yes, it really is made from snail slime and is also reputed to be very good for acne, rashes and reducing the appearance of scar tissue. I didn’t buy a pot. Some things just don’t travel well.
Thank you, Ma’am!
April 22, 2016 awards, disability, New technologies, software, special needsInclusive TechnologySal
HelpKidzLearn from Inclusive Technology is an award winning collection of software for people with the most severe disabilities. Not only is it a vital resource for learners in the UK, but also it is proving to be a firm favourite in the United States and 148 other countries. Now its success has been crowned by the Queen. To mark her 90th birthday she has given Inclusive Technology the most prestigious International Trade award in the UK – the Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2016.
Martin Littler, Chairman and CEO of Inclusive Technology, has been a pioneer in the field of technology for children and adults with severe learning disabilities (SLD), profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD) or those without speech who need alternative or augmentative communication (AAC) who perhaps can only make a single voluntary movement or sound.
Last month the HelpKidzLearn development team received the 2016 Education Resource Award for Special Educational Needs including ICT for their work on harnessing Eye Gaze technology to meet the needs of learners with complex needs. Eye-gaze technology is the closest equivalent we have to thought-operated hardware so far, and is already surprisingly affordable. Inclusive Technology’s myGaze costs just £875 and is having an impact not just on children but on adults as well.
Just looking around a computer screen moves the mouse pointer and gazing at an area performs a click with no physical effort needed. Support workers can now use eye gaze to identify where the user is looking when different images, prompts or questions are asked, giving an insight into what users can see, what they are interested in looking at and some indication of their understanding skills.
Sean Carroll, IT/Assistive Technology Consultant at Sensation Communication and Technology Solutions, describes its impact: ‘James has sat in his chair since he was 19 with very little to occupy himself with, and even when at school I don’t think his independent access skills were attended to very much at all.’ Now with an Eye Gaze tracker James is able to access some online games and his parents are delighted to discover evidence of new skills.’
Yesterday Martin was on TV with his colleague Sandra Thistlethwaite who is a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist, and Dan Woodman, deputy head teacher at Richard Cloudsley School in London. They were talking to the presenter of London Live about the impact of the technology on children’s lives.
‘Children need to play, have fun and communicate,’ said Martin, ‘but this technology also lets children who are non-verbal use on-screen symbols and words to build language, create messages and take part in conversations with families and friends. The award is a huge pat on the back for our team of developers, teachers and therapists.’
Martin and his managing director Sukhjit Gill will collect the award at a Buckingham Palace reception on July 14, 2016.
Groupcall – a lot of texts, a lot of help
June 8, 2015 awards, New technologies, softwareSal
I recently spent an afternoon with a group of teachers at The Thinktank in the heart of Birmingham learning about the latest advances in Groupcall technology. The teachers were from primary and secondary and were there to find out about Groupcall Messenger 5, the latest version of the Parental Contact system that reads pupil and attendance information live and in real time from the school’s Management Information System.
Groupcall is used by more than 5,000 schools. It is inextricably linked with Sir Bob Geldof, one of the co-founders, and was set up with the aim of improving communication between schools and parents. I knew that but during the afternoon, courtesy of Steve Baines, International Business Development Manager, I learnt a whole lot more.
Here are ten things you may not know:
Every single second 193,000 texts are whizzing round the world
Messenger lets schools send text, voice or email messages to parents’ mobile phones or landlines. In Scotland they use a lot of voice messaging, and believe voice gets a better response. With Messenger schools can record a voice or use an automated text to voice facility
A text can have a maximum of 160 characters. This is the default limit and is based on the notion that a text is supposed to contain roughly the same amount of information you would fit on a postcard. Longer messages can, of course, be sent but increase costs accordingly
Messenger 5 features e-cards so schools can create certificates which are sent via email and can be printed out. There are templates for Merit Awards, Thank Yous and Well Dones but staff can make their own if they have a basic knowledge of HTML
Messenger lets schools translate messages into 64 languages. These are the Google Translate alpha languages. Of course, you’ll be flummoxed if they send the reply in the home language
On average once you press Send it takes 13 seconds for the message to reach a parent’s phone
The History section of Messenger 5 shows who has received the text. This can be useful if parents claim hey have not see a text or email
Messenger 5 will let parents send notification of a child’ absence via text so if a child has been sick all night, parents can send a text instead of hanging on and trying to send a message by phone in the 830 to 9 o’clock slot
Xpressions is a FREE app for parents that will work on Android, iPads, iPhone or other smartphones. Imagine a school trip. A teacher can send a text message to parents direct from a smart phone instead of notifying the school and getting them to relay a message. This makes communication more immediate
OFSTED is very keen on engaging parents and Xpressions is a fine example of push technology that will integrate with other systems such as Show My Homework, FasTrack
Award winning software from Sonocent proves to be a great conference tool
March 26, 2015 awards, New technologies, softwareNAACE, SonocentSal
Naace is the association for everyone who cares about ICT, whether they are teachers, researchers or technology companies so it was entirely appropriate to see Sonocent Audio Notetaker being used in the audience.
I sat next to journalist Merlin John whose site is essential reading for anyone with a passion for technology and how it is used in our schools and colleges. He was taking notes on a talk called ‘You have Mobile Devices- Now What?’- given by Darryl LaGace, Executive Vice President of Global Business Development at Lightspeed Systems and as I glanced across I couldn’t help noticing that Merlin was using Audio Notetaker.
‘The microphone on my laptop is good enough to pick up the sound in a conference setting like this,’ said Merlin. ‘I like to make rough notes and then get the exact quote from Audio Notetaker. It is so easy to home in and find the part you want.’
Merlin recently published my article about Audio Notetaker’s success at the BETT awards and their tie-in with Dragon Naturally Speaking. It is so nice to know that he is now using it as a tool to help him in his daily work. He commented on Twitter: ‘AudioNotetaker use it a lot. My favourite for transcription’.

From Spanking Art
(Redirected from Motion picture)
Animated sequence of a race horse galloping, by Eadweard Muybridge, first published in 1887.
A movie (or film or video) is a motion picture, a form of visual art (although sound is also an important aspect of this medium). Many movies are large commercial productions, while others are much smaller affairs created by a few people, and yet others are created by single amateurs. Feature films are movies that are shown in movie theaters (cinemas). Movies are also shown on TV channels. Video recordings can be played on the TV screen by auxiliary devices such as VCRs or DVD players. The latter is also the usual method to watch home movies which serve, like snapshots, to record matters of interest to individuals.
Since the 1990s it is also possible to watch TV or videos on the computer. There exists a lot of software to play, record, cut, edit or convert films in digital form.
Spanking in movies and videos[edit]
There are a number of mainstream movies in which spanking scenes, usually the disciplinary spanking of a child, or the "humorous" spanking of an adult, occur. See spanking in mainstream films and The History of spanking in film for more on this.
There are also many movies which are erotica. Some of these include or even focus on spanking or BDSM. For more on non-mainstream videos that focus on spanking, see spanking videos. A list of X-rated films that include spanking scenes can be found at pornography.

In her 1992 article, Rich commented on the strong gay and lesbian presence on the previous year's film festival circuit, and coined the phrase "New Queer Cinema" to describe a growing movement of similarly themed films being made by gay and lesbian independent filmmakers, chiefly in North America and England.Though it is not practically possible but you can imagine the extent of opportunities Coomeet is providing for you.At present Coomeet community is the largest Chat community in the world and I observe that main reason behind is Stranger Video Chat.The term developed from use of the word queer in academic writing in the 1980s and 1990s as an inclusive way of describing gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender identity and experience, and also defining a form of sexuality that was fluid and subversive of traditional understandings of sexuality.Since 1992, the phenomenon has also been described by various other academics and has been used to describe several other films released since the 1990s.

The approaches described by these researchers have centered solely on last-product quality and usability. Only two studies have been reported underneath this classification [S135] and [S136]. Escudeiro and Escudeiro [S135] used a Quantitative Evaluation Framework (QEF) to evaluate severe mobile video games and reported that QEF frameworks are very important in validating educational games and last-product quality.

The North American console market skilled a resurgence within the United States with the discharge of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Computers such as the ZX Spectrum and BBC Micro had been successful within the European market, the place the NES was not as profitable despite its monopoly in Japan and North America.

Meanwhile, in Japan, both consoles and computers became major industries, with the console market dominated by Nintendo and the computer market dominated by NEC’s PC-88 and PC-ninety eight .
Consider the difference between, say, the goombas you face off towards in the authentic Super Mario Bros. and a very difficult, nightmarish boss in From Software’s motion RPG Dark Souls 3. Or the procedural stage design of the 1980 recreation Rogue and 2017’s hit dungeon crawler Dead Cells, which made ample use of the same technique to differ its degree design every time you play. Under the hood, the delta between these old classics and the newer titles is not as dramatic because it seems. However, in most cases designing extra refined games requires writing code.

Moving Toward Efficiency
April 11, 2010 in Uncategorized0by Catherine Upton
E-learning and Training Promise to Hold the Key to Saving Federal Inter-Agency Dollars
In the coming months, the Office of Management and Budget will unveil an improved version of USAspending.gov and a new Performance Dashboard, says Chief Performance Officer Jeffrey Zients. Zients says the Performance Dashboard, which was included in the fiscal 2011 budget, will be unveiled this coming summer.
This is good news for e-learning professionals; study after study — especially in the private sector — has proven that e-learning can provide significant dollar savings compared to traditional learning. It can also provide economy of scale if implemented across various federal agencies.
A good example exists with the Department of Veterans’Affairs, as you can read on page 20. “We don’t have anything that we would do that government-wide at this point in time,” says VA. Acquisition Academy chancellor Lisa Doyle. “However, I serve on the Federal Acquisition Intern Coalition Advisory Council, where we’re looking at ways we can network and connect all interns across government.”
The new federal program aims to provide the public with a clear, concise picture of federal goals and measures by theme, by agency, by program and by program type. The performance site also will link to other sites, such as the IT Dashboard and others planned for procurement, improper payments and hiring.
“The overall goal, if you will, is to do more with less,” says Zients. “We expect agencies to do a better job of deploying existing resources to what’s most important.”
The Veterans’ Affairs Department, Zients notes, halted 45 information technology projects after information from the dashboard showed them to be behind schedule or over budget. Twelve of the programs were terminated.
Look for the federal government to pursue these goals this year:
>> Eliminating or reforming misguided spending programs and tax expenditures to maximize returns for taxpayers.
>> Boosting government productivity by modernizing practices.
>> Adopting decision-making reforms and harnessing new technology to promote open, evidence based government.
The Center for American Progress believes that the American people have a growing lack of faith in the government’s ability to function effectively, says its president, John Podesta: “We won’t win public support for progressive goals until the public knows that the government is committed to doing what works. We can achieve greater results at lower costs in areas like education, energy and health care. The nation’s fiscal outlook makes this project especially urgent.”
The aforementioned goals cannot be implemented without the cooperation of agency heads. If the VA’s Doyle is any indication, prospects for success are entirely positive:
“This is our life right now, and we love it,” she told me. “I’m a public servant at heart, and 53 percent of our interns are veterans, so we very much believe in our mission.”

Rusyns in Pannonia, or simply Rusyns, or Ruthenians (Rusyn: Руснаци or Русини, Serbian: Русини, romanized: Rusini), are a regional minority subgroup of the Rusyns, an Eastern Slavic people. They are located in the Central European region of Pannonia, which today covers almost all of Hungary, the southernmost parts of Slovakia, northeast Croatia, a tiny sliver portion of northeast Slovenia, and the northernmost part of Serbia (Vojvodina).
They are also considered to be related to the northern Carpathian Rusyns (Carpathian Ruthenians) who live in Carpathian Ruthenia (mostly in Ukraine and Slovakia, but also in Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and Hungary).

Rusyns in Pannonia mostly live in the autonomous province of Vojvodina in Serbia. There are 14,246 declared ethnic Rusyns in Serbia (2011 census). The village of Ruski Krstur in the Kula municipality is the cultural centre of the Pannonian Rusyns. There is a considerable concentration of Rusyns in Novi Sad, where in 1820 the construction of St. Peter and Paul Greek Catholic parish church started and was subsequently completed in 1834/1837. Other villages with a Rusyn majority include Kucura in the Vrbas municipality, and Bikić Do in the Šid municipality. There are Pannonian Rusyn communities in Slavonia (Croatia), forming a majority in the village of Petrovci, Bogdanovci municipality, in Vukovar-Srijem county.

The population of Banat and Bačka was decimated in the Ottoman wars. Rusyns emigrated to today's Banat and Bačka regions alongside Germans, Hungarians and Slovaks from a region that, in modern times, comprises parts of eastern Slovakia and northwestern Hungary. This was part of an intensive colonization by the Austrian Empire of the region's rich, arable land, aimed at increasing state revenue through taxes.
The census of Kula municipality from 1746 shows for the first time three Rusyns — Janko and Petro Homa and Janko Makovicki.
The official date of Rusyn settlement in Vojvodina is January 17, 1751 when the administrator of Bačka Franc Josip de Redl signed a contract with Mihajlo Munkači from the village of Červenovo, in the county of Bereg, to bring 200 Rusyn families of Greek-Catholic rite from the upper Hungarian districts known as the "Upper-Land" (Горнїца) to Kerestur.[1] Kerestur was a Serbian settlement mentioned 1741 as ruined and abandoned, as the settlers had moved to Čelarevo. The same administrator signed another contract on May 15, 1763 with Petro Kiš from Kerestur to bring 150 Rusyn families of Greek Catholic rite from the same areas in the "Upper-Land" to Kocur.
As the population grew and arable land given to settlers by contract was limited, many families from Kerestur and Kocur decided to migrate to the town of Novi Sad in 1766 and 1767. Later, Rusyns settled in Šid and Vajska, and in the early 19th century in Vukovar and Ilok, now in modern-day Croatia. In Petrovci, also Croatia, Rusyns started settlement in 1833, and later in Bačinci in 1834.
The census from 1767 for the whole Bač-Bodroš county (which then was part of Habsburg Monarchy and today comprises Bačka region in Serbia and Hungary) shows about 2.000 Rusyns. The census from 1991 in the same area shows about 25.000 Rusyns. Currently, the number of Panonian Rusyns declines and is estimated to be about 15.000. The main reason for this is the increased number of Rusyns who decided to move to Canada.[2]
Rusyns are officially recognized as an autochthonous national minority in Croatia and, as such, they elect a special representative to the Croatian Parliament, shared with members of eleven other national minorities.[3]
Pannonian Rusyns consider their Rusyn variety to be a distinct language.
Rusyn is one of the six official languages of provincial administration in Vojvodina, while in Croatia it is officially used in two settlements.[4]

Trump never understood what made America great — and Biden’s inauguration proved that
In the moments after Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th president of the United States, my thoughts went back to a conversation I had months before with Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

A not insignificant number of serious people believed he might succeed in stealing the election, or in bringing the country down with him. Omar disagreed. She believed...

PREMIER: THE RAREST CATALOGUED PEQUEGNAT CLOCK
This Gallery will be of special interest to serious collectors of
100% Canadian-made Pequegnat mantel clocks.
There were almost one hundred different catalogued models of mantel, wall, and hall (grandfather) clocks produced by The Arthur Pequegnat Clock Company between 1904 and 1941 in Berlin / 1916 / Kitchener, Ontario. Some are more common today than others, and their current values reflect that uneven distribution.
No company production records have ever been found - sadly, in fact, there is very good evidence that they were intentionally destroyed around the day of the final disposal auction in 1964. "Marcel Pequegnat, nominally the last company President, ordered that all company records be taken to the dump. Which was done."
But there is one extremely rare model that collectors are looking for: the PREMIER mantel clock listed only in the first catalogue in 1904. All other Pequegnat clocks have wood cases. The PREMIER has a black-painted metal (cast iron) case, in the general style of the tens of thousands of black metal-cased mantel clocks made by several American companies in the early 1900s.
Because of the high collector value for the PREMIER model, there has often been a concern about "home-made" (= fake) Premier examples possibly showing up on the market.
As of mid April 2017, we were aware of just THREE separate examples of the PREMIER that are in private hands. In each case the owners contacted our museum for identification. And we then consulted Canadian clocks and Pequegnat clocks expert Jim Connell for his opinion.
The first example was reported to us back in 2006 and is in private hands in western Canada.
The second example has two aspects that raised concerns about authenticity. One is that the front feet are a typical Pequegnat style BUT NOT the shape shown in the 1904 catalogue. The other concern is that the slow / fast speed adjust letters are reversed on its dial compared to "normal" early Pequegnat dials. They appear as F S around the dial hole, not the expected S F. However, there now appears to be a plausible explanation for this oddity - read on!
The third example, like the first, appears to be a perfect match with the picture in the 1904 catalogue. Note that the owners of this clock do have both lions heads RINGS not shown in some of their pictures. JUNE 2017 UPDATE: This example was sold by the owners to an anonymous buyer for at least $5,000.
For each example in the many pictures below, the black painted case and back panel are metal. Only the inside floor that holds the spiral gong is made of wood. There is no paper company label on any of these three clocks.
For examples 1 and 3, at the bottom of the early celluloid plastic dial you see The Arthur Pequegnat Clock Co., Berlin, Canada. There is no company name on the example 2 dial, BUT that is NOT a concern, because many early Pequegnat celluloid dials do not have the company name.
Also, for each clock, the confirmed Pequegnat-design movement does not have the company name, but that is also not uncommon for early Pequegnat mantel clock movements. However, all three have the characteristic shiny, nickel-plated back plates the same as for stamped Pequegnat movements.
CONCLUSIONS - ARE THEY REAL? In this group of three PREMIER clocks, two (the first and third in this discussion) look to be identical to the picture in the Pequegnat 1904 catalogue and they are believed to be all original. The 1904 catalogue description includes: PARLOR CLOCK. Premier. Black Enamelled Iron. Width 14 inches. Height 10 1/2 inches. The dimensions appear to include the feet and lions heads.
I believe that the second example is also real, perhaps made in a later production run when "normal" Pequegnat feet were taken from the stock used for their wood-cased models. The reversed letters around the dial hole for the speed-adjust arbor, F S instead of the usual S F, stand out for sure. BUT the fact that an early COLONIAL model also has the perceived "defective" dial (see the pictures in this Gallery) suggests that the Pequegnat factory workers had simply used a stock of these "defective" dials. OPEN FOR DISCUSSION.
ALL PICTURES in this Gallery were kindly provided to us with our thanks by the different clock owners in 2006 (the first), 2017 (the second, including the Colonial model with the same "wrong" dial), and 2017 (the third).
So we now know about three examples of the rare PREMIER model. Can we now assume that here must me more out there somewhere in Canada? HAPPY HUNTING.
UPDATE April 2019: There is no new information to report.
Allan Symons
P.S. IF YOU HAVE A PREMIER MODEL and wish to confirm its identity, compare yours with these pictures and the catalogue dimensions. And you can contact the museum for advice.

Volatility: A Step Back From The Brink
It’s still touch and go with risk warnings according to stock market volatility, but the threat pulled back from extreme levels yesterday. The VIX (a measure of the implied volatility of S&P 500), for instance, dipped below 20 for the first time since October 9. A day or two of slightly lower vol after the recent surge in risk could easily turn out to be noise and so it’s not yet obvious that the roller coaster ride is over. But for the moment, the decline inspires a bit of optimism that the market may be headed for calmer waters.
In any case, let’s put the latest decline into perspective by reviewing several measures of stock-market volatility (see definitions below) with a statistical technique that puts the numbers on an equal footing for easy comparison: percentile rank. Let’s start with a rolling 3-year window, as shown in the chart below. By that yardstick, five benchmarks of risk have dipped below the 90th percentile. Another bout of anxiety could easily push vol above this critical level again, but as of yesterday (Oct. 20), Mr. Market’s anxiety profile looks a touch less threatening.
The recent calm is even more conspicuous when we consider volatility via a rolling 10-year widow. By this standard, risk is no higher than the 70th percentile.
The latest dip in vol may reveal itself to be a period of calm before the next phase of the storm. As such, the days ahead could be decisive for deciding if the worst has passed… or yet to come.
On the bright side, one risk factor still looks unthreatening: the US economy. As detailed in yesterday’s update on America’s economic profile, a growth bias continues to prevail. That alone doesn’t ensure smooth sailing in the stock market, but it’s certainly a stabilizing force. The question is whether US macro resiliency can offset the darker forces bubbling elsewhere in the world.
The percentile rank data is calculated in R with the runPercentRank function. The five measures of S&P 500 volatility cited above are defined as follows:
VIX: market expectation of near term volatility for S&P 500 based on index option prices.
EMA: 30-day exponential moving average of the S&P 500’s squared daily % return.
SD: 30-day standard deviation of the S&P 500’s daily % return
Garch.norm: a Garch(1,1) model that assumes a normal distribution via the rugarch package in R.
Garch.std: a Garch(1,1) model that assumes a “fat-tail” distribution based on a Student’s t-distribution via the rugarch package in R.

Centre du Vietnam
Hue is one of the most popular destinations for visitors to Vietnam. Straddling the Perfume River, this mysterious city is a historian’s dream comes true, with numerous 19th century ruins, royal tombs and an excellent museum.
The Imperial City of Hue was the capital of Vietnam during the reign of the Nguyen dynasty, the last dynasty in Vietnam. Even today, the Vietnamese regard Hue with awe and respect. Hue also has the distinction of being one of the rainiest cities in Vietnam, receiving more than 120 inches each year.
Hue is dominated by The Citadel, which is a walled fort, constructed during the early 19th century. Within these walls lies the forbidden Purple City, former home of the royal family. The Citadel was also the scene of brutal fighting and staggering casualties during the 1968 Tet Offensive, when the North Vietnamese held the fort for 26 days before being driven out by American forces. The damage inflicted to the architecture is still being repaired and the Citadel may never be fully restored. In somewhat better shape are the various royal tombs of the Nguyen emperors, which can easily be reached by boat, car or motorbike. The historical museum is one of the best in the country.
The Vietnamese regard Hue as the pinnacle of Vietnamese fashion, language and cuisine. The women of Hue, wearing the traditional ao dai and non bai tho, are reputed to be the most beautiful in all of Vietnam. The Hue accent is regarded as the most distinct and pleasing to the ear. The food, including local dishes such as banh khoai, is said to be the tastiest.

It's very hard to nitpick this one, because many things that we see could be dismissed as Phlox imagining things. I'm going to treat anything that wasn't obviously a delusion as real...
Early on in the episode we are told it will take less than an hour to cross the anomaly at warp 4. Warp 4 is 64 times lightspeed, so the anomaly is about 64 light hours across. We are then told that at impulse, it will take four days - 96 hours - to cross the distance. So that means full impulse speed is 64/96 = 0.666 xc, exactly two thirds of light speed. So far so good.
However, when they find that they are still inside the anomaly T'Pol says they are nearly a quarter of a lightyear from the edge. She then says it will take ten weeks to get clear. At 0.666 xc, it should actually take 19.5 weeks. In fact to get out of the anomaly in ten weeks the ship would have to be travelling faster than the speed of light on impulse drive, which is both a mismatch with what was said earlier and is supposed to be impossible.
On another front, when Phlox talks about waking everybody up he says he is going to wake his medical staff before most of the crew. Does Phlox have a medical staff? I don't think I've ever seen or heard of another doctor, nurse or even orderly anywhere near sickbay!
Great Moment :
A few good moments; Jolene Blalock does an excellent job as T'Pol, especially when she starts completely losing it in the Engineering room. The spooky-factor on the nearly deserted ship was good - the shadow across the window made me jump, and for a minute I really did think that there would be some sort of space monster out there.
Body Count :
Factoid :
This is only the second episode of Enterprise with no guest cast at all - the first being "Shuttlepod One" back in season one.
Plotline
Enterprise encounters another super-anomaly on the way to the Xindi weapon. Crossing it would cause brain damage to the Humans on board, but going around means weeks of delay. So they decide to put the entire crew into comas, leaving only Phlox and T'Pol to look after the ship for the four days it will take to go through. But can the good doctor cope with four days of isolation?
This episode really annoyed me, and not just because it is a obvious homage to / rip-off of Voyager's "One".
When the crew first approach the anomaly, they specifically state that it is Humans whose brain will be affected by the thing. There is no ambiguity in the wording at all, the writers are obviously setting us up to believe that T'Pol was indeed awake. I began thinking she might be imaginary soon after she first appeared, since it was the most obvious twist I could think of for the ending, but dismissed this because they had told us that only Humans were affected. As the episode progressed I became more and more convinced that T'Pol wasn't real - I was finally certain around the time that she told Phlox to use the sensors instead of trying it herself.
If they had left left it ambiguous, if they had said "the crew" would have to be put into comas or something, that would be one thing. But to try and stop the audience from seeing the twist in the ending by telling the audience one thing and then doing something else... well that's just plain bad writing. The whole point of an episode like this is for the writer to try and outsmart the audience, not to lie to them and then expect them to think you have been clever about it.

Clock Opera offers Ways To Forget
FacebookTo promise that something is coming in “early 2012” may be sufficient detail when that date is still a ways off on the horizon, but at a certain point it will eventually actually be early 2012 – as it is now – and when that time arrives you’d best have a little more to offer. That first part of that scenario was most of 2011 for London’s Clock Opera, who despite sounding more than ready for prime time when I first saw them last SXSW and reconfirmed at Iceland Airwaves have been rather shy about offering any details about their debut album besides that it’d be out “in early 2012”.
Well refreshingly quietly, details of their debut album came to light at the very end of last year by way of an iTunes preorder link, and really all you need to know is that it’s called Ways To Forget and will be out – in the UK at least – on April 9. Going for a soft launch with that info may prove to be wise as I expect things will get exceptionally fast-paced for this quartet as word of their electro-anthemic rock – think a younger Elbow armed with sequencers – and attendant excellent live shows gets out.
And the first shot in that metaphorical attack came yesterday with the release of a second video for the song “Once And For All”, which already had a perfectly good clip for the original single release but seeing as how it was re-recorded for the album, a new, heartstring-tugging vid was clearly in order. And so here it is, along with what I would consider to be sufficient argument that Ways To Forget will be one of the highlight releases of, well, early 2012.

The Ting Tings – whom I am convinced are part of a larger sociological experiment to discern exactly what the shelf life of formerly buzzy but ultimately vapid pop bands is – hope that enough people still remember who they are to buy their second album Sounds From Nowheresville, out February 27 in the UK and shortly thereafter in North America, and to go see them when they play The Phoenix on April 6. To say nothing of paying $26 to do so. Spin has a conversation with the duo about the new record.
Video: The Ting Tings – “Hang It Up”
I can’t say I was too interested in the previously-announced return of Cults to town – happening April 25 at The Phoenix, but the fact that Spectrals – aka London-based retro-pop revivalist Louis Jones – would be opening makes me a bit more keen. His debut Bad Penny came out last Fall.

Patrick Wolf fights Battle on two fronts
Ingrid ZThose who sought to ride out the global recession by investing their money in Patrick Wolf should be pleased – the project has already yielded dividends! What had originally been intended to be a double album entitled Battle will now instead be two single-length albums entitled The Bachelor and The Conqueror.
In an interview with Spinner, Wolf describes the differences between the two as follows – “The Bachelor [has themes of] loneliness, hedonism, depression and melancholy, the second album is all my depression being suddenly lifted by true love.” The Bachelor will be released in June, The Conqueror sometime before the year is out. He also talks to Black Book about approaching Tilda Swinton to appear on the new record and his rather unique sense of style and assembles his dream band for The Independent.
Wolf blogs that tthe first single from Bachelor, entitled “Vulture”, will be released in early March but until then, there’s a “megamix” sampler of songs from the new record streaming at his MySpace. There’s also regular updates at his YouTube channel.
Myspace: Patrick Wolf
Stereogum gets a progress report on Kingdom Of Rust from Doves, though with its April 6 release date less than two months off, I hope there’s not much progress left to be made. Which is to say it better be done. The video for the title track is done, at least.

NME reports that The Stone Roses‘ debut album will be reissued this June to mark its 20th anniversary in a fancy pants box set form and a less fancy “legacy” edition (yes, they already did this ten years ago for the 10th anniversary). But what might make this more than just a naked cash grab is the fact that the album has been remastered by original producer John Leckie – considering that the original record could do with some sonic polishing, I may be interested to hear if the new version actually gives the album some low end.
Billboard has details on the forthcoming Iron & Wine rarities double-CD set. It’s entitled Around The Well, will be out May 19 and most importantly, will include “The Trapeze Swinger”.

Like A Hitman, Like A Dancer
Review and giveaway of A.C. Newman's Get Guilty
Caleb BuyersLet’s be honest, there’s not a lot of reason for there to be a Carl Newman solo record. The man is the chief songwriter in The New Pornographers, an outfit that turns out material at a pretty decent rate all things considered, and it’s not as though he has a metal jones to itch that wouldn’t work in the context of the Pornographers – when he puts on the AC Newman hat, he’s still the consummate popsmith.
But the whys and wherefores are his business – for the rest of us, there’s no sense in looking a gift horse in the mouth. And in this case, that gift is entitled Get Guilty. Like 2004’s The Slow Wonder, any of the songs on Guilty could have easily appeared on a Pornographers record but unlike that record, which seemed to deliberately apply a more traditional rock band ethos to the proceedings, Guilty seems more willing to incorporate the more ornate flourishes that you’d associate with a proper Pornographers release.
That said, without having to balance out the large cast of players in the Pornographers, the AC Newman experience is leaner and punchier – more of a raiding party than the mothership of the New Pornographers. And for those wondering where all the fast songs that weren’t on Challengers went, well, at least some of them are here – “Like A Hitman, Like A Dancer” and “The Palace At 4AM” have a rhythmic drive and energy that hasn’t really been there on the last couple Pornographer records. Of course, whether they’d have fit is another discussion altogether – the important things is that they’re here now and they’re excellent, as is pretty much all of Guilty.
Get Guilty is out today, and courtesy of Last Gang Records, I’ve got copies on CD to give away to five lucky Canadians (sorry Americans, you’ll have to console yourselves today with a new president). To enter, leave me a comment below telling me something you’re guilty of and make sure your email is there, spam-proofed as need be, so I can contact you. Contest closes at midnight, January 26. Also remember that AC Newman are heading out on tour in February, including a March 11 date at Lee’s Palace in Toronto.
NPR has a short interview with Newman, Magnet a longer one, and Allmusic has traced out his musical history from the early days with Superconductor through to the present. Update: Stereogum has another live session video from Newman to follow up the one premiered at Pitchfork last week. Update 2: The whole album is streaming at Spinner.

Co-Pornographer Neko Case will release Middle Cyclones on March 3 and blow into town for two dates at Trinity-St Paul’s on April 17 and 18. Tickets for each of those shows are $35.50.
MP3: Neko Case – “People Got A Lotta Nerve”
And Neko’s ex-Boyfriends The Sadies will be Jon Langford’s band when he plays the Horseshoe on February 27 – tickets are $12.50 and that gets you not one but TWO sets of country rocking goodness.
Not your speed but still seeking something to do that night? The Music Tapes, featuring ex-Neutral Milk Hotelier Julian Koster, will be at Lee’s Palace that same night in support of last year’s Get Guilty. Like 2004’s Music Tapes for Clouds and Tornadoes. Tickets also $12.50.
MP3: The Music Tapes – “Majesty”
Video: The Music Tapes – “Majesty”
Video: The Music Tapes – “Ministry Of Longitude”
There’ll be a lovely little show taking place at The Central in Mirvish Village next Thursday night, January 29, featuring the songwriters from a few of Toronto’s finest bands in a solo and acoustic setting – Casey Mecija of Ohbijou, Kat Burns of Forest City Lovers, Jonas Bonnetta of Evening Hymns and Gavin Gardiner of The Wooden Sky. Admission is pay-what-you-can.
The Coast are heading over to the UK for some dates next month and Clash has not only conducted a feature interview with the the Toronto boys, but set up a fancy little microsite about the band. And they’re making available to download a Born Ruffians remix of “All The Boys” from Expatriate.
MP3: The Coast – “All The Boys” (Born Ruffians remix)
The schedule for Canadian Musicfest (why do I think I’m going to be the only one not calling it Canadian Music Week?) is partially up, and by partially I mean barely. But there’s still some good information on lineups now available, foremost those of the Chart-sponsored shows at the Horseshoe. And they’re kinda stacked. Just a little. Thursday, March 12 you’ve got Chad Van Gaalen, Gentleman Reg, Women, $100, The Lovely Feathers, The Delinquints and Quest For Fire. The Friday night bill will be led by Handsome Furs and also feature Human Highway, The Bicycles, Daniel Wesley, Dinosaur Bones, Hot Panda and The Schomberg Fair. And finally, Saturday will wrap things up with The Golden Dogs, Two Hours Traffic, Young Galaxy, Rebekah Higgs, The Hundreds And Thousands, Vancougar and Hexes & Ohs. Admission to these shows is via CMF wristbands and needless to say, get there early. Of course, once in you probably won’t be able to leave but really, why would you want to?
But if you do, there’s a few other dates and venues to note. Malajube, who will release Labyrinthes on February 10, are at the El Mocambo on March 12. That same night both Angela Desveaux and The Rural Alberta Advantage are at the Gladstone and 6 Day Riot are at Rancho Relaxo. On the Saturday, Basia Bulat and Herman Dune are at Lee’s Palace while The Ting Tings are at the Mod Club. Still more to come, obviously, but things look to be shaping up alright.
Joel Plaskett will play Massey Hall – yes, Massey Hall – on May 23. Tickets from $29.50 to $39.50.
BlogTO talks to the members of Bruce Peninsula, who have a string of local dates surrounding the February 3 release of A Mountain Is A Mouth. There’s a January 31 date at the Horseshoe, a February 4 in-store at Soundscapes and the February 22 album release party at the Polish Combatants Hall.

Out Of This Spark turns two, throws a party
Joe FudaThis week’s eye has a feature piece on local label Out Of This Spark, whose second anniversary is the impetus for your best entertainment option this Saturday night as the label’s entire roster will take the stage at the Tranzac. That’s the lineup that includes a couple of personal faves and a couple others I’m just starting to make the acquaintance of.
In the former camp are post-punkers The D’Urbervilles, whose rather excellent full-length debut from last year, We Are The Hunters, is going to be getting a much-deserved US release, and Forest City Lovers (pictured), whose beautifully understated album Haunting Moon Sinking was one of the overlooked gems of 2008. It’s been a while – too long – since I’ve seen either act live, and I’m looking forward to rectifying that. In the “less known to me” department are Jenny Omnichord, whose special guest-laden Charlotte or Otis : Duets for Children, Their Parents and Other People Too is a sweetly odd and charming little childrens’ album and Timber Timbre, who are releasing their new self-titled album next week and whose amalgam of folk and blues is a bit unsettling, but also compelling. They’re also playing an in-store at Soundscapes next Thursday at 7PM.
Admission to the to-do is $10, $8 with a donation of canned food.
MP3: The D’Urbervilles – “Hot Tips”
Videos: Forest City Lovers – “Pirates”
Videos: Forest City Lovers – “Please, Don’t Go”
Pitchfork has more tour dates for Human Highway, including a date and venue for their previously announced appearance at Canadian Musicfest – look for them March 13 at the Horseshoe.
MP3: Human Highway – “The Sound”
And speaking of Canadian Musicfest, the lineup has fleshed out a little more with some of the bigger-name additions including The Ting Tings and… well, that’s all I noticed that was new since last time. Precise date and venue for that one still forthcoming.
Rollo & Grady interview Mark Hamilton of Woodpigeon and filch one of my photos in the process. This is me shaking my fist. Treasury Library Canada is out Februrary 3.
To the surprise of no one, a second date for the Constantines/Weakerthans “Rolling Tundra Revue” tour has been added – there’s now an April 1 date to go along with the previously-announced March 31 one at the Phoenix. No foolin’.
The Henry Clay People, whose For Cheap Or For Free was endorsed in November, will be joining The Airborne Toxic Event on their Spring tour which passes through the El Mocambo on March 4.

The Georgia Straight interviews Glasvegas, in town at the Mod Club April 3.
Anathallo have a date at the El Mocambo on February 3, tickets $12. Their new album is Canopy Glow.
The New Year, who must feel tremendous pressure to be topical and interesting every January, oblige with a new video, a brief interview and free download at Stereogum and an interview at the Dallas Observer.
Video: The New Year – “Seven Days And Seven Nights”
Is this Frightened Rabbit video an official one? Not sure, but it is cool. And that’s good enough.

The Daily Yomiuri amuse Stuart Braithwaite and Barry Burns of Mogwai by calling them a “shoegaze” band.

Weather in Ibiza in September
Is September a good time to visit Ibiza?
September is a great time to visit Ibiza. September is the end of the official party season in Ibiza and visitors to the island will enjoy the close of season parties and events. Many of the hotels and accommodation options in Ibiza are still booked up for September, but it does start to tone down a bit, particularly toward the end of the month. Holidaymakers in Ibiza in September can expect a slightly higher chance of rain, particularly at the end of the month, but this doesn’t deter beach goers and partygoers.
Climate in Ibiza in September
Ibiza’s Mediterranean climate in September is best enjoyed on the beach and swimming in the warm coastal waters. Average temperatures in Ibiza during September range between 20°C (67°F) and 28°C (82°F), with warmer temperatures and more sun at the beginning of the month and a higher chance of precipitation in late September. Visitors to Ibiza in September can expect long summer days with just less than eight hours of sunshine each day. Sea temperatures in Ibiza for September tend to remain at roughly 26°C (79°F) throughout the month, although this does begin to dip as the rainy season approaches at the end of September.
What’s on in Ibiza in September?
In Ibiza, there is always a reason to party, in September the key events are generally end of season parties. MTV hosts shows from Ibiza throughout summer and a popular event in early September is the MTV Ibiza closing party. From mid September onwards many of the clubs have had their closing party and the range of options for a night on the town dwindles. This is the perfect time to recoup from a summer of parties and spend time tanning on the beach. A local Spanish festival celebrated throughout the country is Diada de Catylunya, which is a national holiday on 11 September.
What to pack for a holiday in Ibiza in September
Visitors to Ibiza in early September should pack light summer clothes. Beachwear is essential as are sunglasses and tanning lotion. The evenings sometimes cool down considerably and a light cardigan may be useful, although dancing is probably one of the most popular methods of warming up a slightly cooler evening. Ibiza has a number of boutique stores, but all the popular labels are also available on the island. It’s difficult to say no to shopping in Ibiza, so pack light and indulge in some bargain hunting.

EXCLUSIVE: Who is Harold Hurtt? Meet the Immigration Enforcement Foe . . . Who Wants to be ICE’s Public Face
Think immigration enforcement is bad enough, now? Well, it could soon be in a world of hurt . . . and Hurtt. Same difference. The Obama Administration wants to put an outspoken opponent of immigration enforcement in a position of immigration enforcement. No, not the head of La Raza. But Harold Hurtt–close enough.
World of Hurtt: Illegal Aliens’ Best Friend Wants Key ICE Job
If the name Harold Hurtt sounds familiar to you, it might be because, last year, I wrote about his disgusting interview with Al-Jazeera. The then-police chief of Houston told the Terrorist News Network how “horrible” our prison system is and how the mentally ill “aren’t treated well,” a complete crock. But it was useful propaganda for Jazeera to spread to the Muslim world about how “evil” America is (even though our prisons are luxe resorts compared to every day life in most of those countries, let alone in their prisons or mental institutions). More important, Hurtt built his career on adamantly opposing every form of immigration law enforcement and proudly “enforced” Houston’s sanctuary city status to shield illegal aliens.
Incredibly, Hurtt wants to become the public face of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and is the Napolitano/Obama prospective choice to head up the agency’s Office of State and Local Coordination (OSLC). It’s the primary position overseeing ICE’s Section 287 (g) program, which works with and allows state and local law enforcement to enforce immigration laws and round up illegal aliens.
ICE agents from the top on down are livid. Hurtt made a mockery of their efforts throughout his Houston career and opposes what they do.
Moreover, Hurtt was THE key player in Houston Mayor Bill White’s sanctuary city team, which was responsible for illegal aliens killing two Houston Police Department officers and shooting another in the face. Hurtt was the defendent in a lawsuit filed by one of the officers’ widows. Watch this video news report, below, from September:
And that’s in addition to the fact that any cursory google search of this man’s name pulls mountains of results for statements he’s made adamantly opposing state and local law enforcement of immigration laws, the very job he seeks and for which Napolitano and her man running ICE, Suzie Barr, are pushing him. (John Mor(t)on, who heads ICE, is merely a self-important puppet/figurehead riding around in a car with bodyguards.)
In August 2006, Hurtt testified before Congress, saying cops should not assist with arresting illegal aliens. And that was among a gazillion other places he spouted off against the efforts he now seeks to head up. Talk about a hypocrite. The position Hurtt now seeks serves as ICE’s public face and primary spokesman to the law enforcement community nationwide. It’s like putting Rosie O’Donnell on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. A complete joke. But the joke’s on you, America. He doesn’t know a thing about what ICE does.
Hurtt can’t get a job. And he’s desperately looking for one. Even the “fabulously” progressive city of San Francisco refused to hire former Chief Hurtt. City officials saw through this absolute zero and refused to bring him on board. So why is ICE considering it?
Career ICE agents believe that hiring this absolute disgrace is a way for the Democrats to further kill grass roots immigration enforcement, the little of it left that DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano didn’t already extinguish. Napolitano and Barr already hired the unqualified Ann Yom as the deputy director for this program, the OSLC. Yom has zero law enforcement experience, and, in her previous job, she set up conferences for the National Sheriff’s Association. Now, this glorified party planner supervises at least 20 law enforcement personnel and the 287(g) program described above, nationwide.
Yom is bad enough. But Hurtt is a disaster. If he succeeds in getting the plum OSLC Director slot at ICE, don’t be surprised if more ICE agents leave in droves. Things are bad enough at the agency.
Everything that Harold Hurtt touches becomes major steaming fecal material. And, pardon the pun, but ICE will be a world of Hurtt. So will America. And we might as well just open our borders and let everyone traipse in.
Stop Harold Hurtt. And let him look for work where he belongs . . . as a private security guard (with apologies to the hard-working men and women who actually qualify as security guards).

It seems as though Obama is destroying our country, one political appointment at a time.
LifeInaShoe on March 2, 2010 at 2:37 pm
LIS is right.
Sort of like appointing Eric Holder as Attorney General. Put the radical leftists in positions where they can do the most damage to the country they have soooo much contempt for.
Affirmative action keeps coming back to bite us all.
Joe on March 2, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Its unbeleivable what this freak in Washington is doing!…how do the clowns, who voted for this loser, feel now?…God help us all… what he is going to do in the future…this BO is just plain disgustingly scary!!!!!
BIG IRISH on March 2, 2010 at 5:00 pm
Even if this guy gets appointed and is somehow removed later on, consider this: the amount of damage going forward from the people HE appoints while he’s in.
Same thing about the WH now: Even if all the major dudes and dudettes are thrown out tomorrow, it will take years to undo what will be continued to be done by the lower-level appointees that will still be around years after.
Not Ovenready on March 2, 2010 at 5:44 pm
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury…the verdict is in and we are being sold down the drain faster than I can type this. With the financial and moral delimma we are in, this country is gone. Ovenready is correct…if we could change it today, where do we start to clean up the mess? God help us….
arejaymack on March 2, 2010 at 6:54 pm
Sad, and his sidekick Bill White is running for Gov. of Texas as open borders, which unfortunately so are Perry and Hutchinson. Medina is pro-enforcement, but is a kook otherwise. Unfortunately it’s the norm to have anti-enforcement people in charge of enforcement. We should all be doing everything we can to support people like Sheriff Arpaio and J.D. Hayworth in Arizona, among others who are trying to do something about this. They are under seige.
Little Al on March 2, 2010 at 7:06 pm
Hope and change.
Plus Obongo’s predilection to appoint gay, black, transgender, or minority otherwise candidates is a poison pill for future administrations because they will be inhibited to kick these people out wholesale unless they have a suitable minority replacement.
DS_ROCKS! on March 2, 2010 at 9:18 pm
I was going to mention the same thing, but I figured I’d be hailed as a racist for doing so. Everytime I turn around and get a look at one of his appointments, who are either leftist loons or terrorist sympathizers, they all seem to be black or gay. I’m sorry but are there no intellegent Black folks out there to nominate? Sorry again, but name me one city, state, or country where Blacks are in charge and things are going well.
perception of truth on March 2, 2010 at 10:25 pm
We don’t do the job anyway, so what the hell is the difference?
‘DIVERSITY’ is a hardship one strives to overcome, not some artificially created bullshit from OPM.
#1 Vato on March 2, 2010 at 9:25 pm
Once again, another candidate for a position in ice who has NO EXPERIENCE, NO TRAINING, NADA for the job. Familiarity breeds contempt…this is the same nightmare over and over. There hasn’t been a solid immigration enforcement effort in a LOOOOOOOOOONG time. Why? – because nobody cares and the people in charge are CLUELESS as to the problem because they NEVER SERVED in immigration enforcement, be it Border Patrol, Immigration Inspector, et al. Sorry, chief of police of Houston, Chicago, Bumf**k, Nebraska (pop. 300) doesn’t qualify. As far as ice agents leaving in droves, they already have through early retirement or some just took off for the middle east as contractors to utilize their training and experience and get paid more for it.
The whole program has been going in the tank for quite some time; big piles of excrement just take longer to flush but it’s still making its way to the big cesspool. Letting customs take over ice (along with everything else) was a HUGE mistake but nobody cared because they’re under the delusion that customs is the greatest thing since ribbed condoms. They don’t know squat about immigration and don’t care…they’ll tell you flat out.
(hey, but dangle a fake Gucci handbag in front of them and watch them get all over it like a cheap suit).
Then you have bimbo laplickers in charge of DHS who, again, have NO EXPERIENCE and succeed only in furthering the demise of whatever was left in the wake of the previous boneheads. Let’s not forget the “yes men/women” running around the beltway thinking they’re all important in hq (if you can extract their faces from each other’s a**).
It used to make me sick to see all this but now I don’t care; I just sit back and LMAO!
IceNoMore on March 3, 2010 at 1:46 am
Everytime I have written to my Senators and Representatives they send me back a line of BS about how the President “has wide latitude in making appointments”. These folks will not stand against anyone that the Obama regime wants.
Sam Deakins on March 3, 2010 at 7:28 am
How come no one has challenged these Sanctuary cities aand have had the Mayors or officials doing it arrested? Is that not Conspiracy to comit a crime? Harboring a fugative? and a whole host of other crimes?
If I was to give sanctuary to some on the run Angels or Outlaws I would be arrested so why are these people getting away with it?
The law says illegal invaders should be arrested and even if you disagree with the law if your a cop your still required to DO YOUR JOB. Instead you want to sit around and b*tch and moan that cops get no respect and civilians could care less when you get shot and killed. Well your right we could care less because your not cops your criminals hiding behind badges when you refuse to obey the law you swore to uphold because you “do not agree with it” Arrest ALL rpt ALL the people breaking the law and maybe that will change

More of DHS being intentionally piloted onto the shoals, the inmates are clearly running the asylum. This helps ensure that DHS will continue to be the perennial laughing stock among the national security agencies, although Justice lately is surely giving it a run for its money. The image of foxes and vixens guarding the chicken coup doesn’t even come close to capturing the depravity of it all. Where is the next appointee coming from, a NAMBLA member? I am glad I am retiring soon, but I fear the republic cannot take another couple of years of this…

Is it just me, or is Obomba running an affirmative action program for the incompetent?
Green Czar
Social Director
… are the first that come to mind. Not to wish harm to the First Family, but perhaps if the Salahi’s were successful infiltrators bent on harm, he would have gotten the point … or at least this problem would have been solved….
Thomas Paine on March 3, 2010 at 9:33 am
I agree obama is running an Affirmative action from the white house. All I have to say is if you thought W was bad then watch this current bonehead screw things up. But at least he speaks well…”yes we can”

Good article. You write what the newspapers don’t dare to.
Truth on March 3, 2010 at 10:14 am
Isn’t there an old “joke” along the lines of “when you can’t get a job anywhere else, you get a job with the government”?
When I did work (under contract) for the DOJ/BOP there was no finer example of this than the federal prison guards and “counselors”. These miscreants were dumb as bags of rocks. They could barely read, write, or speak. I copied various documents and signage I “acquired” because I knew no one would believe me… dorm cubicles routinely written up as “cubics”. Kitchen utensils written up as “spooms” and “baruls”. The “m” is not a typo… that’s how they pronounced it too “spooM”. Signs would say things like “Blue chair must be place in Cubic floors is wax”.
And these guys/gals get “promoted” regularly- hence, ultimately they become Police Chiefs, etc. based on their “distinguished” careers in “law enforcement” or “government service”.

I hope this Yiddish is used properly–a schmuck is elected President, schmuck then appoints other schmucks to fill important posts, those schmucks then appoint additional schmucks like this guy. Face it, the current administration is just a employment agency for schmucks that can’t work any place that requires an iota of intelligence.
Sean Jones on March 3, 2010 at 12:03 pm
Great job exposing this nonsense in this article. ICE is a joke and in real trouble with the poor managers they have heading up certain programs within the agency and other mid level managers at the HQ level. Should this Hurtt guy be hired as Director of ICE Office of State/Local Coordination, it further shows that ICE Asst Secretary Morton, DHS Secretary Napolitano, and the Obama Administration could actually give a $&#* about utilizing the 287(g) program to effectively fight the growing illegal immigration problem. Why bring on a Deput Director like Ms. Yom who has no virtually no law enforcement experience.
What the hell is ICE management thinking in bringing on a guy like Hurtt who has been an outspoken critic of immigration enforcement? Shows where the ICE managements head is, in the toilet
By the way, I heard something funny today that your site was blocked on the internet at ICE HQ in DC today. Nothing like ICE management trying to avoid more negative publicity and bad press. Makes me wonder why they would do that. Heard other rumors this Hurtt guy was gonna get the job without even being interview, kind of like a political appointee. What ever happened to civil service rules? All of you reading thsi site should be contacting your elected reps and asking why they dont put someone in this position who is pro-law enforcement..
ICEBlow on March 3, 2010 at 6:18 pm
In all fairness to the departed, unemployed HPD Chief, he possibly didn’t want valuable manpower taken off the crime-ridden streets of Houston in order to do the job of an ICE Agent.
The 287G Program is a big hoax, more like a bait and switch sales scam. ICE first gains access to the county and city jails, then cons the locals into cross training their officers under 287G, then all the ICE agents go off for a long lunch, only returning when it’s time to pick up the reports so they can pad their monthly stats and impress ICE HQ.
Hurt didn’t want to waste valuable police officers in a city jail 287G program, when most all of the city prisoners get transferred to county jail within 3 days anyway.
NOBODY in Federal law enforcement wants to get stuck working in the local jails, so they get the locals to do their job for them. What’s next State Troopers as Border Patrol agents?
Straight-up, Hold the ICE on March 3, 2010 at 7:45 pm
Seems that Obama has surrounded himself with a disproportionate number of incompetent liberal blacks. I think he is a racist. Holder is a joke. So are most of his “Czars” as is Napolitano. I think Obama will wind up being worse than Carter.
Samoyed on March 3, 2010 at 11:08 pm
ICEBlow’s comment shows that cronysm, misfeasance, and malfeasance are the order of the day at BICE. Straight-up, Hold the ICE’s remark proves the “eight and skate” mentality of those parasites with bankers’ hours, but don’t bother to send your State Troopers to the border, please.

Checking in with the Celebrity Party
January 29, 2018 by V the K
I am told an old drunken, washed up, politician read from a book at some music award thingy last night. Do I have that right?
Also, a group of ultra-privileged multi-multi-millionaires who live in gated communities patrolled by armed guards to keep the riff-raff out… are planning to hold a “People’s State of the Union” to protest the President.
The official Democrat response to the SOTU will be given by Joe Kennedy, nephew of the drowner. He’s described as a “rising star” in the Democrat Party. Because nothing says “healthy, vibrant democracy” like a permanent, hereditary ruling class.
Filed Under: Unhinged Liberals
January 29, 2018 at 5:00 am - January 29, 2018
Then we have the Democratic Party’s response given by Rep. Joe Kennedy,
Maxine Waters wants to give her own response,
Jimmy Kimmel thinks Stormy Daniels should give a response…
If I were president, I would send a written message to congress, forget the speech, and leave the rest of them looking like attention whores.
Sathar says
Is anyone in the picture somebody famous? The kid kneeling with the camera looks a little like Nicholas Hoult but that’s about it.
runningrn says
PLUS charging the common man, unwashed plebes $47 admission shows a complete disconnect—another RICH irony of this pathetic farce. These dilittente, ignorant narcissists are freaking clueless, but I guess when you think $1000 is “crumbs”, almost $50.00 is next to nothing….
eeyore says
“Me play Hulk in movie. Me movie Hulk smash things when mad. You won’t like me as movie Hulk when I’m mad.”
Oh, is that who that is? Guess I didn’t recognize him without the green body paint. Is he the Avengers one or the one from the previous failed attempt to relauch the franchise?
January 29, 2018 at 10:28 am - January 29, 2018
(Sigh) The usual suspects seeking publicity. Has-beens and D-listers trying to jump start or resuscitate their careers. Some twerp who played a superhero in a movie based on a comic book or a video game, and who thinks his opinion should be headline news.
And the SOTU speech is just another pointless, self-congratulatory dog-and-pony show. Like the Oscar Awards, the Emmy Awards, the Tony Awards, the Grammy Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, and the Awards Awards.
@1, I agree. Jefferson sent a letter to Congress instead of making a speech, and his successors followed his example until Wilson revived the practice of making the SOTU address in person. If I were POTUS, I would post the SOTU on the White House website. Then let the Democrat-Media complex stage their own publicity stunts elsewhere.
Can the SotU be 144 characters or less?
Let’s see: “The Union is more Great than one year ago.” That leaves 102 if more detail is required, plus a little if he wants to get creative with grammar or punctuation.
wen says
https://twitchy.com/dougp-3137/2018/01/29/hypocrisy-spotters-have-a-field-day-with-anti-trump-celebs-peoples-state-of-the-union/AND…they are charging $47.oo a person to see these asses in person….What a joke!!
Cyril J. says
@7
Exactly. Or better yet,
“MAGA-ing. Thank you very much. DJT.”
in 35 characters.
“Celebrity party”
Says the conservative who has a reality TV star as his thought leader
Ted Bunker (Charging Rhino) says
Nothing says “Party of the People” like 3rd-generation Trust Fund Princeling who’s a 4th-generation Harvard grad and 6th-generation Political Dynast speaking for the Common Man.
RSG says
January 29, 2018 at 12:10 pm - January 29, 2018
Ah, but that would be giving in to the critics. (“We won!”) It would also be very un-Trumpian. DJT built his campaign upon large crowds and mixing it up with his opponents. The only time an event was cancelled was for logistical reasons or venue choices (such as the ill-fated scheduled appearance at UI/Chicago in which the protest was organized by Obama buddy Bill Ayers).
To quote from the linked Vox article:
[…] the State of the Union address is a very tough act to follow. The president speaks in the Capitol before nearly every high-ranking member of all three branches of the federal government and is frequently interrupted by applause from hundreds of people.
This is right in Donald Trump’s wheelhouse. Except that the people applauding aren’t Average Janes and Joes, but some of the most powerful people in the nation. This is an opportunity for the president to shine and usually, they live up to the task.
And the SOTU speech is just another pointless, self-congratulatory dog-and-pony show.
Albeit one which is broadcast to the nation, carried on all four broadcast television networks, all three cable news networks, and the radio/TV supplicants of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Even the BBC will be chatting about it afterwards. Fox News Channel currently has a corner-screen bug promoting it along with the tag “All Day Coverage”.
To borrow from a former Vice President, it’s a big [effing] deal! It is probably the only event by the President of the United States—outside of an ‘address to the nation’ during a national crisis—which commands the same attention that wartime addresses from FDR did. In recent years, the broadcast networks have declined requests by The White House to cover presidential remarks which they determined would not be in their best interests as commercial operations and in their sole discretion are deemed to be “political”. But no one refuses to cover the SOTU. And neither the Academy Awards, the Emmys, the Golden Globes, or the massively un-self-aware Grammys are broadcast on more on than one media outlet.
As the co-founder of Vox notes in another article: Trump’s law [is]: attention creates value. This is POTUS 45’s stock in trade. By ceding it to The Resistance, he’s letting them win a game by default. The fact that Botox Betty (aka San Fran Nan), who can’t be a no-show, has to sprain her face muscles with an imitation smile at various points in the evening is reason enough to participate. Sure, the loyal opposition will attempt to spin and put their stamp on the evening, but as the Vox articles point out, few people remember who or what the rebuttal address was about—even if it’s given by a soulless ginger who is the latest legacy seatwarmer from America’s Royal Family.
It can’t be said more lyrically or succinctly than this:
Because nothing says “healthy, vibrant democracy” like a permanent, hereditary ruling class.
Kudos+ to premier wordsmith V the K.

In France, it’s a more deceptive form of aristocratic elites we’ve got —
those are not so much made out of bloodlines, but rather, from the same small set of elitist public schools — Ecole Normale Superieure, Ecole Nationale d’Administration — hijacked at their very top by the left intelligentsia and multi-generational socialist and communist party/syndicalist/union thugs ever since at least Jaures (*)
(*) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Jaurès
It’d be like most of your politicians would almost exclusively come from the most radical leftist clubs groomed at Yale, Amherst, or Berkeley.

Sorry about that — just not a masochist, here.
The best thing about France is… that it’s on the other-side of the Atlantic Ocean.
Even the Brits consider the Channel wider than the North Atlantic. Well, they used to…
The best thing about France, pre-May 1968: France.
The best thing about France, post-May 1968: a few french emigrants, here and there.
Now if only we could do something about Quebec…
Quebec or not, at least in Canada they have a Jordan Peterson…
*jealous sigh*
On the tasteless joke that is the “anti-war” / “pro-pueblo” American left, since FDR:
FDR’s 1941 SOTU’s “Four Freedoms” for the People’s:
Freedom of speech — except for communist and socialist countries, all over the place, since 1917;
Freedom of worship — except for the American christians photographers or bakers called in courts, 2008-ongoing;
Freedom from want — Idem #1
Freedom from fear — except when you’re Japan, 1945 getting a lecture about democracy by Truman, or Irag, Syria, Lybia, Afghanistan, Ukraine, … getting a lecture about democracy by Obamarx the Cool, 2008-2016 (26,000+ bombings in his last year alone)
Clinton’s SOTU, 1996, “the era of big government is over” —
BWAHAHAHAHAHA !!!
Now, that was another good one!
President Trump could definitely tweet pretty much anything of a random 140 character-long string he’d come up with for his SOTU —
no way he could get anywhere close to these past insults to Americans’ intelligence.

I wonder why? Is it because the music sucks and the public is tired being lectured?
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

I doubt anyone in THAT crowd qualifies…

that’s not the joe kennedy of Venezuela fame is it?

The Granny’s Awards

@26 True, true, it’s getting hard to keep track of the family numbers with Kennedy’s —
the Kennedy you’re probably thinking of is number “II”
http://www.masslive.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/03/ex-us_rep_joe_kennedy_ii_mourn.html
the one linked in V the K’s post is number “III” — not that it does make much of a difference clue-wise, though — quoting:
From health care to economic justice to civil rights, the Democratic agenda stands in powerful contrast to President Trump’s broken promises to American families. Deeply honored to be chosen to deliver the response to the State of the Union next week. Stay tuned for updates!
For the sake of common decency, please refrain from asking the Venezuelan people to “stay tuned” as well.
I’ve heard the “Democratic agenda” dear to the Kennedy’s best friends who are in charge over there … isn’t working out “para el pueblo” quite as well as once advertised not so long ago.
@2 Just fixing your typo — you probably meant, “Nicolas Hulot”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Hulot
So this is it.
The People’s State of the Union, 2018, has entered posterity.
https://youtu.be/6VN1yA8_OGg
It’s actually hard to watch and remind yourself that it is not satire.
The SOTU will end with “…Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!“
the one linked in V the K’s post is number “III”
The ginger who will be delivering the official retort to the SOTU is the son of Joseph P. Kennedy II, who founded Citizens Energy which was a recipient of Venezuelan oil until 2015. Dad retired from Congress in 1998. The SOTU respondent [referred to as “JoJoJo” by non-fans in Bawstun] is one half of twin sons born to JPK II and his first wife, Shelia Rauch. She became a public figure after the father of her future Congressman son decided to trade up to a newer model who was a former staffer and subsequently applied for annulment of his marriage in the Roman Catholic Church so he could have a legitimately recognized marriage to #2. She opposed the annulment and felt it invalidated her role in the marriage and the raising of her sons. She discovered that the Archdiocese of Boston granted the annulment without contacting her and that it was expedited because of the family’s status in Massachusetts. She pursued the case all the way to the Vatican, and the Roman Rota there later overturned the original decision. Dad later married his former staff member in a civil ceremony in 1993.
JPK II had a reputation for being an arrogant entitled jerk and was disliked even by rank-and-file Democrats. Time will only tell to see if the apple falls near or far from the tree.
RSG @ #32- Thanks for the lineage update.
The Kennedy clan has an immense problem rising above the expectations of amorality. One is inclined to believe it is related to “the bad seed” and is, therefore, genetic.
However, if nothing else, the Kennedy family keeps the fact of indulgences issued by the church alive.
The DemonizingRat party is so deep into deception and lying that they have no standards. Having no standards does not preclude the DemonizingRats from claiming moral superiority. Their morals and ethics are relative to the situation and fluid in order to accommodate the situational needs that they so often crash into.
If there we not situation morality and ethics, they would have no standards at all.

Gary Neville, the battle of the iPads and Wigan as Champions
Technology is a growing influence in football. Digital advertising in stadiums, in-depth video analysis enabling managers to hone tactics, goal line technology and even the much-maligned VAR we saw during the World Cup in the summer.
17 August 2018 3m read
Technology is a growing influence in football. Digital advertising in stadiums, in-depth video analysis enabling managers to hone tactics, goal line technology and even the much-maligned VAR we saw during the World Cup in the summer. There is no doubt that involvement at any level of the professional game will now include large usage of tech to assist the humans to get stuff right. I would personally draw the line at wearing full referee kit in the video room though!
Gary Neville, a pundit who gained significant respect for his in-depth analysis using the BBC ‘big iPad’ once famously handed out actual iPads to his Valencia players in an attempt to convey his tactical messages and instructions and to try and compensate for his lack of fluency in Spanish. That didn’t work out for Gary as we know, but his concept of delivering consistent messaging through the use of technology and eLearning to ensure clarity, continuity and improvement has had far better results than his ill-fated La Liga adventure with Els Taronges.
North London Soap
With the Football League and Premier League now both in full flight and as the competition hots up there is always speculation over who will be the big winners and losers though the season. Drama and surprises are guaranteed. Leicester winning the Premier League in 2015-16 season, the incredible haul of 34 league goals from the unfancied Mo Salah last term or the more comical but less well known 2012 soap opera that was Edgar Davids as manager of Barnet, naming himself captain in the starting line-up and ending up relegated on the final day of the season!
Lactics Lead the League
In a crazy world where inconsistency reigns supreme its refreshing to see some clubs working very hard to make consistency an integral part of their charter in areas where it has the most positive effect. In November 2017 Wigan Athletic were the first club in the EFL to achieve the Premier League Equality Standard, Intermediate Level. The three levels being preliminary, intermediate and advanced. So, what does that mean? It means recognition that Wigan are committed to promoting equality and diversity not only within their playing and coaching staff and operations, but also in their community work and throughout the DW Stadium both on and off matchdays. Equality champions elect.
Back to those iPads
Whatever your role in a club of any type, be it sports, social or workplace you’re likely to interact with a wide range of people of all ages and different social, cultural and ethnic backgrounds. These people make up the rich mix that is our society today.
The work First Media have done with the English Football League to produce bespoke eLearning helps the people in member clubs to understand what equality, inclusion and diversity really mean, as well as discrimination, bullying, harassment, victimisation and ‘banter’. It’s a vital step not only to combat all of the aforementioned but also positively assist in promoting an inclusive environment.

Reflections on the Grand Prix
By Otta Tuck Jun 20, 2016 Jun 20, 2016
The grand prix, hailed as Montreal’s biggest and most economically lucrative event all year, aside from Jesus’s birthday, hit the town last weekend. For those who commit serial sociology, it is a case study for all of the troubling contradictions in Western society. For those committed hedonists (including and excluding auto enthusiasts), minor and major criminals, and restaurateurs, it is a grotesque version of the Jubilee, where all debts are forgiven through the marginal profits of cardinal sin.
But I don’t have time for moral cleansing. Leave that for pastors, postmodernists and anarchists.
The opulence and ethics of the fanfare are small material concern, and unfortunately the focus of too many puritans trying to exorcise vice. Let the people drink and what not. The municipal humanitarian concerns are a by-product of the larger violence.
Oil and rubber and steel are violence. A good visualization and starting point is this map:
It is a good map. The world. You probably recognize it. Now, why the three colours? Green represents the countries that have Grand Prix circuits; dark grey are the countries that formerly had Grand Prix circuits and light grey are the countries that never had Grand Prix circuits.
The obvious observation is that there are currently no tracks in Africa, the Middle East and India. Africa, a continent of one billion people, 1/7 of the world’s population does not have 1/21 of the circuits. But that is a simple, casual observation. If this map was made 60 years ago, every track would be in a white dominated colonial country, a centre of capital, and today that is still, generally the case.
The location of the track and the map is of significance because it shows one thing: the countries that produce rubber and oil, the two main ingredients in an F1 racer and all vehicles, generally, do not have circuits and make little residual economic benefit from their production. The Grand Prix is the highest metaphor for the confluence of colonial and imperial exploitation, of surplus value being sucked for nothing from brutally colonized peoples and injected into the toys of the global elite. It is important to illustrate exactly how violent rubber extraction is.
It is well known now that the Belgians murdered millions to extract rubber from the Congo. Workers would have to climb trees (at the risk of falling to their deaths) and rub the stinky rubber on their skin, climb down and rip it off their skin to pay off the debts the Belgians placed on the workers. If the amounts were inadequate, the Belgians would cut off limbs or simply kill the workers. Resistance was often and brutally crushed. Ho Chi Minh, writing for a communist newspaper in Paris writes of French barbarity:
“Under the title ‘Colonial Bandits’ our comrade Victor Meric has told us of the incredible cruelty of a French administrator in the colonies who poured molten rubber into the genitals of an unfortunate Negress. After which, he made her carry a huge stone on her head in the blazing sun, until she died.
This sadistic official is now continuing his exploits in another district, still with the same rank. Unfortunately, such odious deeds are not rare in what the good press calls ‘overseas France’.”
Episodes as such replayed over and over in every colony. European brutality made Grand Prixs possible. Nothing brought fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, the United Kingdom, the Swiss, French, Belgians together like a sunny day at the races.
The car, itself, a product of advanced manufacturing, can only exist in countries that have traditionally benefited from the capital accumulation of colonial adventures. The extraordinary profits reaped from the backs of starving colonized people, mostly coloured, allowed for precarious investment in the initial capitally intensive productive forces of vehicles and the high wages of the western industrial workers.
Lenin calls these workers, “the labour aristocracy.”
They, and most of the workers in the west benefit from the violent enforcement of cheap extractive techniques and cheap labour in the colonized world. The car represents the highest form of the contradictions in the global working class. Rubber and oil brings misery to colonized countries. Rubber and oil brings wealth to colonial countries.
The Grand Prix is not just a celebration of human ingenuity, it is a celebration of the armistice between the labour aristocracy and the global bourgeoisie over their dominance of the colonized world. The highest and most desperate expression of this union is fascism and imperial jingoism. Does this make the Grand Prix a fascist celebration?
Perhaps there is a classless entertainment value to watching cars fly around a track. Summer celebrations are fun. Sure, but it must be recognized critically and fully that the material conditions that allow for the existence of the Grand Prix are based on violent colonial exploitation.
Before I end I need to make something clear because not only is this an argument against liberalism, conservatism, but this analysis must be stated to be clearly against postcolonialism and postmodernism and incorrect interpretations of Marxism:
The participation of the upper crusts of colonized countries in Grand Prix celebrations does not mean there is an equality in the participation of peoples as a whole.
The Japanese are among the most brutal colonial exploiters and are equal participants in the production of cars. They are a fully imperialist nation.
This is to say, that the Grand Prix are not firstly an expression of white supremacy or white privilege as some postmodern anarchists might extol, but an expression of colonial/ capitalist inequalities firstly.

Press release about Hamas talks with Egyptian intelligence chief
Member of Hamas Political Bureau Dr Khalil al-Hayya stated the following:
Hamas delegation, included Head of Hamas Political Bureau Ismail Haniyeh, Members of Hamas Political Bureau Rawhi Mushtaha, Fathi Hammad and Khalil al-Hayya, met on Wednesday evening with the chief of the Egyptian Intelligence Agency Abbas Kamel and discussed in depth the political developments of the Palestinian cause, humanitarian situation in Gaza, internal reconciliation and the political and security relations with Egypt.
The delegation explored the dangers facing the Palestinian cause in the light of the latest US decisions related to Jerusalem and Palestine refugees. The delegation stressed on refusing all American attempts to undermine the Palestinian rights and principles. The delegation also stressed that Palestine is for the Palestinians and Egypt for the Egyptians.
Hamas delegation discussed the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza, which almost became on the brink of collapse due to the dilapidating medical and environment sectors. Hamas stressed, during the discussions, on the importance to fully open the Rafah Crossing and to work hard on ending the suffering of the Gaza residents and improving their humanitarian and economic conditions.
Regarding the bilateral relations, Hamas underlined the importance to protect Egypt’s national security, considering it an Arab and Palestinian priority, as well as to safeguard the Egyptian-Palestinian borders in order not to be used to harm the Palestinian or Egyptian security.
The delegation also discussed the reconciliation and stressed on the importance to go ahead on this track regardless to any obstacles, stressing on the importance that Egypt resumes its role and follow up of this file.
Hamas found a positive Egyptian response in this regard as Egypt said it would dispatch a security delegation to Gaza soon to monitor the implementation of the reconciliation terms and to work on solving the crises of Gaza.
Meanwhile, the Egyptian official, Al-Hayya said, reiterated Egypt’s support for the Palestinians regarding the establishment of their state with Jerusalem as its capital and the return of refugees. He also stressed on supporting Gaza, considering this part of the Egyptian national security, as well as he promised to work on opening the Rafah Crossing naturally in the future.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEHER BABA!
"Love has to spring spontaneously from within; it is in no way amenable to any form of inner or outer force. Love and coercion can never go together; but while love cannot be forced upon anyone, it can be awakened through love itself.
Love is essentially self-communicative; those who do not have it catch it from those who have it. Those who receive love from others cannot be its recipients without giving a response that, in itself, is the nature of love.
True love is unconquerable and irresistible. It goes on gathering power and spreading itself until eventually it transforms everyone it touches. Humanity will attain a new mode of being and life through the free and unhampered interplay of pure love from heart to heart."
LIKE A FOUR-COLOR CARPET
Way back in 2010 I posted an excerpt from an essay I wrote for a book called Hey Kids, Comics! Edited and compiled by artist/blogger (and all-around swell guy) Rob Kelly, Hey Kids is a collection of reminiscences from comic book connoisseurs like Alan Brennert, Steve Englehart, Chris Ryall, Bob Greenberger, Paul Kupperberg and many others about the joys of growing up addicted to, and obsessed with, panel-by-panel storytelling. The book finally came out last summer, it's been getting terrific reviews, and, in a bid to intrigue you—and perhaps get you to click on over to Amazon and purchase it—I thought I’d run my essay in its entirety. Enjoy!
Portals to Other Dimensions—Ten Cents Each!
I've said this before, and it's true: I don't remember ever not reading comic books. I can’t say for sure who first exposed me to them, but I do recall a married couple that lived in my apartment building (the kind of adults you’d expect to be reading comics in the late 50's and early 60's: smiley, rotund, slightly odd people) and they had a treasure trove of comics—stacks and stacks of them—they’d often share with me. I also remember a cousin giving me what must have been twenty or so comics (to my young eyes, they seemed more like twenty thousand). There was something deeply satisfying in spreading them all out on the floor—like a four-color carpet—not to be read, but to be stared at, studied, absorbed to the deeps of my soul. I enjoyed comic book covers as much as I enjoyed reading the stories. I could sit there, in a quasi-hypnotic state, and study the illustrations for hours: they were like cosmic portals, opening up doorways to other dimensions; colorful parallel universes far preferable to the one I inhabited.
The best covers communicated an entire story in one image and my mind would wander off and run the story in my head like a movie (which was often far different from the one that unfolded inside the books: sometimes it was better). Drawing was one of my great obsessions as a kid and I could spend an entire afternoon on the living room floor, with pencil and paper, studying a Batman cover—I’m talking about the Dick Sprang-era, square-jawed, fun-loving Bats, not the ultra-serious Dark Knight of today—and trying to replicate it, line-for-line, freehand. (Tracing, of course, was verboten.)
My family didn’t have much money—we were lower middle class, my father worked for the New York City Parks Department (he was the guy who raked the leaves and shoveled the snow) and my mother was a switchboard operator for the New York State Parole Board—but I never felt materially deprived. My parents were always incredibly generous. And they generously indulged my passion for comics.
I have very vivid memories of being six, seven years old and taking walks with my father on summer evenings after dinner: We'd head for the local candy store, which—in Brooklyn, at least—was its own magic world, with a long soda fountain inevitably presided over by an elderly Jewish wizard who could magically conjure egg creams (if you’ve never had one, you have my sincere condolences); more comics, newspapers and magazines than you could count; every gloriously trashy candy bar in existence; and an odd assortment of toys, from Duncan Yo-Yos to that lost ancient artifact, the Pensy Pinky. My father would buy a newspaper for himself and a comic book for me. A comic was ten cents in those days—which was probably more than my dad’s New York Daily News cost—but it was still a bargain. (When my best friend, Bob Izzo, was going to the hospital for minor surgery—I think he was having a mole removed—his mother gave him an entire dollar and he bought ten comic books. I was paralyzed with envy.)
I was seven when, after three decades, the price jumped from ten to twelve cents: I walked into the candy store with my mother one afternoon and Eva—the not-to-be-trifled-with wife of the egg cream making wizard—was in shock, ranting about this outrageous price hike. My mother was equally irate. “Twelve cents,” she gasped, “for a comic book?”
To my immense relief, the extra two cents didn’t dissuade my parents from buying me comics—and I continued to consume them. It didn’t matter what the comic book was, I read everything—from Hot Stuff and Casper to Sad Sack and Bob Hope (given the current comic book market, it’s astonishing to realize that the Bob Hope series ran for eighteen years. The Adventures of Jerry Lewis lasted even longer). Today the super hero dominates the mainstream market, but, back then, the variety of comic books—all of them kid-friendly—was astounding. Still, to a boy raised on George Reeves flying across his black and white television screen, the DC super hero comics were the Holy Grail.
We took it for granted that every male under the age of twelve worshipped Superman and Batman—and most of them did—but each of us had our special favorites. Mine were Justice League (all the DC heroes together in one book? How could you beat that?) and Green Lantern. GL was the perfect vehicle to capture the mind of a child. The concept was as elegant as it was simple: the hero just thought of something—brought his will and imagination to bear—and he manifested it. (Even as an adult the concept still works: I think it’s a perfect metaphor for the way we should all live our lives.) John Broome’s wonderful stories spanned the galaxies—his place in Comic Book Heaven is secure—but, for me, the the primal enchantment came from Gil Kane's extraordinary artwork. Before I discovered the force of nature that was Jack Kirby, Kane was the artist whose work meant the most to me: a mixture of elegance, power and crystal clear storytelling. As noted, drawing was my childhood obsession and one of my absolute favorite things to draw was Kane’s flying figure of Green Lantern, ring-hand confidently outthrust, one leg cocked back (almost as if it was amputated).
When I was in Junior High School, I underwent a religious conversion. No, I didn’t suddenly become a Hindu or a Born-Again Christian: I converted from DC to Marvel. Contemporary comic book readers can’t possibly understand how different Stan Lee’s Marvel books were in the 1960’s. DC’s comics—for all their imagination and artistic flair—were pristine and sculpted, All-American and squeaky clean to the point of being nearly antiseptic: no rough edges, no raw emotions, nothing messy at all. If you looked at the Marvel books, especially in the early days of the line, it was all mess. The covers said everything: lurid colors. Captions screaming for your attention. Oversized word balloons with thick, black borders around them. Artwork so primitive it was frightening. Marvel Comics were dangerous.
A few years before my conversion, on a whim (or perhaps out of desperation), I’d picked up the first issue of Marvel Tales, which reprinted the origin stories of Spider-Man, the Hulk, Iron Man and Ant Man. Imagine a young mind accustomed to the gentle elegance of Curt Swan suddenly encountering the wonderful weirdness that was Steve Ditko and the dynamic lunacy of Jack Kirby. Reading the Hulk origin, I was certain that General “Thunderbolt” Ross had to be the one who was going to turn into a monster because—the way Kirby drew him—he already looked like one. There was a panel of Ross yelling at Bruce Banner and the old man’s mouth was so impossibly wide I was sure he was going to eat Banner alive.
At that point in my evolution I wasn’t ready for Marvel: the stories were simply too intense for my tender psyche, so I put the books aside and returned to the more comforting confines of the DC Universe—until, in 1966, Marvelmania swept through the halls of Ditmas Junior High. Among my crowd of comics cognoscenti, you were looked down upon if you still read Superman (which I, of course, did). I resisted the tide—no way was I giving up on GL and the League—but by May or June of that year (and, yes, I’m sure peer pressure had something to do with it) I decided to once again investigate this strange Marvel phenomenon. The first comics I picked up were Fantastic Four #54, Daredevil #19 and Spider-Man #40. After reading those three issues—I still have a clear memory of sitting on the steps of the massive Catholic church across the street from my apartment house (the appropriate place for a religious conversion) and devouring the Daredevil story “Alone Against the Underworld!”, entranced by Stan Lee’s hyperbolic intensity and John Romita’s muscular grace—Marvel had me. Peer pressure may have piqued my curiosity, but what sold me was the quality of the stories: the creative audacity that exploded across every page.
There’s been much debate, down through the decades, about the relative contributions of Stan Lee and his collaborators. From my perspective, Stan’s contribution was incalculable. Even if, hypothetically, Kirby and Ditko plotted every single one of those stories on their own, Stan created the vibe and the mythos of Marvel Comics. He did it with cocky cover copy and the warmth of the Bullpen Bulletins pages, the hilarious footnotes and scripts that managed to be absurdly pseudo-Shakespearean and yet utterly down to earth at the same time. Most important were the absolutely relatable (especially to a boy on the verge of adolescence) characters, constructed of equal parts angst and humor. As others have said, with Stan at the door of the Marvel Universe, you really felt as if you were being welcomed into a unique club that was tailored just for you by the coolest uncle anyone ever had. Add in the quirky individuality of Ditko and the cosmic genius of Kirby (if anyone in the history of comics can be called a genius, Jack’s the guy) and you had something new and vibrant that comics had never seen before. (Here’s how much I loved those 60’s Marvel Comics: In the ninth grade I had pneumonia, ordered by our doctor not to leave the house for three weeks. One Sunday night, about two weeks into my sentence, I couldn’t take it any more: my parents had gone out for dinner, so I threw on my winter coat—did I mention it was dead of winter?—and, risking my fragile lungs, raced the four blocks to the candy store and grabbed the latest issue of Fantastic Four.)
I remained Marvel-exclusive until 1970 when Jack Kirby returned to DC: hey, if Superman & Company were good enough for the King, they were certainly good enough for me. Kirby’s brilliant New Gods, Forever People and Mister Miracle convinced me I’d made the right decision. That same year I had my first encounter with the subversive genius of R. Crumb (“Meatball,” anyone?) and my idea of what a comic book could, and couldn’t, be was forever demolished. Loyalty to any one company, or any one form of graphic storytelling, suddenly seemed ridiculous.
As I grew older, as I fell prey to exploding hormones and the lunacy of teenage life, becoming immersed in rock and roll, “serious” literature, the spiritual search (and other, less savory, pursuits), I never let go of comic books. Most of my contemporaries grew out of their obsession, but I didn't. Why would I turn away from a cosmic portal that expanded my mind, deepened my soul and, most important, made me happy.
You can’t put a cover price on that.

And the rest really is history.
(By the way—the video embedded above says it's 1965. That's an error. These are the three original Ed Sullivan shows that aired, over three consecutive weeks, in February of 1964. I know: I watched them all as they happened.)

Vicky & Ricci Row Rocks The Geordie Shore House!
Is the honeymoon period finally over for the couple? Find out more here...
When Ricci and Vicky got engaged in Cancun off the back of their short-lived, tempestuous relationship, there was wide spread cynicism among the Geordie Shore cast.
James said at the time: “Seriously though, you wanna marry her?", while Vicky's former flame Jay added: “I’m not sure that she’s made the right decision.”
Even Vicky seemed to have her own reservations about their future, saying: “I can’t wait to start the next chapter of our lives together, but I’ve got no clue what’s in store for us?”
However, she remained defiant in her attitude, stating: “I don’t really care what anyone else has to say, unless they are over the top, thrilled for us, then I don’t f*****g care.”
But in this week’s all-new episode of Geordie Shore - which hits MTV on Tuesday 4th December at 10pm - the couple have one of their notorious bust-ups while on a night out, throwing their relationship into turmoil.
Ricci, who is well known for being an angry drunk, sinks into one of his jealous moods, accusing Vicky of flirting with another guy.
Quick to react, Vicky retaliates by calling him a "f*****g a******e”, saying: “I’m f*****g fuming that he’d accuse me of flirting with someone else. I’m about to snap if he’s not careful.”
Things quickly escalate, with Vicky telling Ricci: “Go f***k yourself”, with Ricci hitting back by calling Vicky "a slag."
Back at the house, the others try to make sense of what has happened, with Charlotte claiming: “He’s the most controlling, possessive boyfriend I have ever met.”
And Gaz adding: “Last time they had a massive argument they got engaged. F**k knows what will happen this time.”
The following morning Ricci himself even admits: “This could be the end of me and Vicky”.
Will the wedding still be going ahead or have the courting couple been hit by the relationship curse of Geordie Shore?
To find out Vicky and Ricci's fate, tune in to the brand new episode of Geordie Shore at 10pm on Tuesday 4th December only on MTV!

GT300 Fuji-Japon: Strong performance for Sacha Fenestraz
10 mai 2019 Marie-France Estenave News 0
Sacha Fenestraz à Fuji
Sacha Fenestraz put in a strong performance on his racing debut in Super GT at Fuji Speedway after Kondo Racing team-mate Kazuki Hiramine helped secure the GT300 class pole position.
He went into the weekend still waiting to make his race debut, after heavy rain during the 2019 season opener in Okayama last month led to the race being abandoned early.
Sacha took to the track for Q1 to try to get the #56 car into the second qualifying session. His fastest lap in the session – a 1m36.696s – was more than enough to advance as the second fastest time in the session.
He handed over the car to Hiramine, who was able to put in an excellent lap to give the pair pole position for the race. It also meant that a Nissan car had pole position in both classes for the race in Fuji.
« Qualifying was very good, it was awesome to get P1 in just the second race in the championship for both the team and myself.
« I thought I did a good job getting us into Q2 after going second fastest, before my team-mate got pole position for us in Q2. Not only was it great work from him though, but also the team to get us into this position. »
While the weather was dry for practice and qualifying, it took a turn for the worse on Saturday. Rainfall before the race meant that it started behind the safety car for the first two laps, with Hiramine taking control to start with.
Hiramine lost the lead on lap six of 110 after a tight battle to start the race. The rain started to get heavier and on lap 13 the safety car was deployed, before the race was red flagged three laps later.
Fortunately the worst of the weather left the circuit and the race was soon restarted. The #56 car was third in the GT300 class by the time Hiramine came in for the first of two pit stops. With the track drying quickly, Sacha went out for his first ever stint in a Super GT race on dry tyres.
After around 40 laps Sacha handed the car back to Hiramine after running in second place for the majority of his stint. While the drying track made it more of a challenge for Sacha, he was very pleased with how it went.
« It was a good stint. My lap times were consistent, which is key for these long races as that’s where I think you make the difference at the end.
« The tyres dropped off at the end of the run which made it difficult, but overall it was a good learning experience. It was the first time for me managing the traffic, the tyres and everything. »
Unfortunately Sacha and Hiramine missed out on the GT300 podium, with the drop in temperature during the final part of the race making it difficult for Hiramine to keep the tyres warm.
Although disappointed, Sacha was very pleased with a strong performance from himself, his team-mate and the team. Along with pole position and fourth place in the class, the team’s mechanics were given the ZF Award for their efforts.
Sacha leaves Fuji third in the GT300 driver rankings with his team-mate, with the next Super GT round taking place at Suzuka at the end of May. He will next be in action for round two of the Japanese Formula 3 Championship at Autopolis on May 18-19.

Lucy-Alamo Projects - Hydroxyl Generation and Atmospheric Methane Destruction
As you know the weather is starting to change rapidly for the worse now and I have been working on Arctic methane induced global warming for about 14 years. There are massive deposits of methane gas trapped in the undersea permafrosts in Russian waters and onland in Siberia as well and if the global warming boils of just 10% of what is there, there is enough to cause a Permian style extinction event that humanity will not survive. Some brilliant work on the Arctic methane threat has been done by a Russian scientist Natalia Shakhova and others who indicate that we are in a very perilous position, if we don't find a way of reducing the atmospheric methane and depressurizing the undersea methane to stop the massive methane eruptions there. I and some other workers have designed a radio-laser Atmospheric methane destruction system based on the early Russian radio-wave induced conversion of methane to nano-diamonds. This radio-laser system can be installed on nuclear powered boats such as the 40 Russian Arctic ice breakers and start immediate work on destroying the atmospheric methane clouds that are building up in the Arctic. An abstract about the system is attached and it has been accepted for presentation at a congress of the American Meteorological Society to be held on January 10 - 14, 2016 at New Orleans in Louisiana, U.S.A. This system should be mounted on the nuclear icebreakers and used onshore. Once the methane is brought under control there should be a reduction in the massive fire hazards, heat waves and severe storms systems that are plaguing Russia and the rest of the world.

No. 275345 Lucy - Alamo Projects - Hydroxyl Generation and Atmospheric Methane Destruction.
Malcolm P.R. Light (Dr)
Retired, Cortegana, Spain
Congress of the American Meteorological Society, Wednesday 13, January, 2016
Methane formed by organisms in the water becomes trapped in the fabric of water ice crystals when it freezes and is stable below about 300 metres depth in the Arctic Ocean and on the shallow East Siberian Arctic Shelf. There are such massive methane reserves below the Arctic Ocean floor, that they represent 100 times the amount, that is required to cause a Permian style major extinction event, should the subsea Arctic methane be released into the atmosphere because of methane's giant global warming potential (100 to 1000 times CO2) over a short time period (Light and Solana, 2012 - 2014, Carana 2012 - 2014). There are also giant reservoirs of mantle methane, originally sealed in by shallow methane hydrate plugs in fractures cutting the Arctic seafloor and onshore in N. Siberia (Light, 2014, Carana 2013, Light, Hensel and Carana, 2015). The whole northern hemisphere is now covered by a thickening atmospheric methane global warming veil from Arctic methane emissions at the level of the jet streams, which is spreading southwards at about 1 km a day and already totally envelopes the United States (Figure 1). There must therefore be a world-wide effort to capture and thus depressurise the methane in the subsea and surface Arctic permafrost and eradicate the quantities accumulating in the ocean and atmosphere.
Methane produced at the surface diffuses upward and is broken down by photo dissociation (sunlight) and chemical attack by nascent oxygen and hydroxyl (Heicklen, 1967). The Lucy Project is a radio/laser system for destroying the first hydrogen bond in atmospheric methane when it forms dangerously thick global warming clouds over the Arctic (Figure 2, Light & Carana, 2012). It generates similar gas products to those normally produced by the natural destruction of methane in the atmosphere over some 15 to 20 years. Radio frequencies are used in generating nano-diamonds from methane gas in commercial applications over the entire pressure range of the atmosphere up to 50 km altitude (Figure 2, Light and Carana, 2012). Recent experiments have shown that when a test tube of seawater was illuminated by a polarized 13.56 MHZ radio beam, that flammable gases (nascent hydrogen and hydroxyls) were released at the top of the tube (iopscience.iop.org, 2013). In the Arctic Ocean, polarized 13.56 MHZ radio waves will decompose atmospheric humidity, mist, fog, ocean spray and the surface of the waves themselves into nascent hydrogen and hydroxyl over the region where a massive methane torch (plume) is entering the atmosphere, so that the additional hydroxyl produced will react with the rising methane, breaking a large part of it down (Figure 2)(iopscience.iop.org, 2013).
A better system could use Nd: glass heating lasers containing hexagonal neodymium which is stable below 863oC (Krupke 1986 in Lide and Frederickse, 1995). Neodymium glass lasers have extreme output parameters with peak powers near 10 to the power 14 watts when collimated and peak power densities of 10 to the power 18 watts per square cm if focused (Krupke 1986 in Lide and Frederickse, 1995). Velard (2006) states that at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, for inertial confinement nuclear fusion, "192 beams of Nd: glass - plate amplifier chains are being used in parallel clusters to generate very high energy (10 kilojoules) at a very high power (>10 power 12 watts) and at the second and third harmonics of the fundamental, with flexible pulse shapes and with sophisticated spectral and spacial on - target laser light qualities". The Nd: glass laser system is more stable and efficient than the longer wavelength CO lasers and shorter wavelength KrF lasers (Velard, 2006).
The three 13.56 MHZ radio transmitters in the Lucy Project (Figure 2) could be replaced by 3 groups of parallel lasers each forming a giant circular flash lamp. Half the Nd: glass lasers in the flash lamp could be tuned to exactly 21 million times the 13.56 MHZ methane destruction/nano-diamond formation frequency (Mitura, 1976). The adjacent alternate lasers will be tuned to a slightly different frequency exactly out of phase with the primary frequency by 13.56 MHZ.The Nd: glass lasers have a wavelength of 1052 nm equivalent to a frequency of 2.85*10 power 8 MHZ. The methane molecule requires 435 kilo-joules per mole to dislodge the first hydrogen proton and an average of 409.3 kilo - joules per mole for the other three protons (Hutchinson, 2014). Hydroxyl requires 493 kilo - joules per mole to generate it from water (Hutchinson, 2014). A set of four focused Nd; glass lasers will have an energy of about 454.5 kilo-joules per mole, and will be strong enough to dislodge the first hydrogen proton from a methane molecule. Of course this can also be achieved by increasing the number of focused lasers to six or eight. Exactly the same neodymium laser system could be shone on the sea surface, at the base of the rising methane cloud, generating hydroxyls and nascent oxygen and thus breaking down the methane. The power source for these radio transmitters/lasers in the Arctic can come from floating or coastal nuclear or gas electric power stations and the transmitters could be located on shore or on boats, submarines, oil-rigs and aircraft. We have only 1 to 5 years to get an efficient methane destruction radio-laser system designed, tested and installed (Lucy and Alamo (HAARP) projects) before the accelerating methane eruptions take us into uncontrollable runaway global warming. Humanity will then be looking at catastrophic storm systems, a fast rate of sea level rise and coastal zone flooding with its disastrous effects on world populations and global stability.

Tempt Me Tuesday #145 by Mad Hatter Reads
It’s your last chance to add any last minute temptations to your Christmas list. I don’t know about you, but I’ve got at least two to add…oh wait, nope, those were already on my list. Whew! That was close…of course that means I can add the others! What are looking forward to opening this week?
Drantos by Laurann Dohner
VLG, #1
For most, a plane crash means the end of life. For Dusti Dawson, it’s just the beginning…
Dusti and her sister Batina survived the crash, thanks to a couple of brothers who are equal parts menacing and muscled. She’d be grateful…if they hadn’t turned out to be delusional kidnappers, who believe Dusti’s grandfather is some monstrous halfbreed creature bent on murder. Turns out Vampires, Lycans, and Gargoyles do exist— and they’ve been crossbreeding to form two hybrid races. Drantos, the man Dusti can’t stop lusting after, is one of the most dangerous of all.
VampLycans Drantos and Kraven were sent to eliminate a threat to their clan. But when that threat turns out to be mostly human women, clueless of their lineage, plans change—especially after Drantos gets a taste of Dusti’s blood. Now, he’ll die to protect her. Even if that means walking away from everything he knows to keep her at his side.
Is her strong desire for Drantos reason enough to endure danger coming from all sides? Or should Dusti cut and run the first chance she gets?
Author Note: VLG stands for Vampires, Lycans, Gargoyles…and breeds in between. Living in Alaska’s harsh, pristine territories, these creatures live and love fiercely. These are their stories.
Liam Takes Manhattan by Thea Harrison
Elder Races, #9.5
Warning: This story contains a major spoiler from SHADOW’S END (book #9, released December 1st, 2015). If readers do not want to be spoiled, they should read the stories in order of their release dates.
This is a short story (15,000 words or 50 pages) intended for readers of the Elder Races who enjoy Liam Cuelebre as a character.
Reeling from a deep loss, the magical prince of the Wyr, Dragos and Pia’s son Liam Cuelebre, turns inward and withdrawn as he struggles to come to terms with who he is, along with the challenges that lie before him.
Hoping to ease his heartache and offer comfort, a concerned Dragos and Pia offer him a gift, something he has desired for a long time. Liam’s response has a ripple effect across all of New York. Soon miracles of all kinds start arriving just in time for Christmas, along with a visit from a mysterious person who gives Liam hope and a vision of his future.
LIAM TAKES MANHATTAN is the third part of a three-story series about Pia, Dragos, and their son, Liam. Each story stands alone, but fans might want to read all three: DRAGOS GOES TO WASHINGTON, PIA DOES HOLLYWOOD, and LIAM TAKES MANHATTAN.
Night Shift by Bianca D'Arc
Grizzly Cove, #3
Sheriff’s Deputy Zak is one of the few black bear shifters in a colony of grizzlies. He’s used to taking guff from his comrades, but it’s all in good fun. He’s fought beside these guys for many years and it’s time they all stopped roaming and picked a place to settle. Grizzly Cove seemed as good a place as any when the idea was proposed, and Zak likes the slow-moving police work in the sleepy coastal town.
When his job takes him into closer proximity to the lovely Tina, though, he finds he can’t resist her. Could it be he’s finally found his mate? And when adversity strikes, will she turn to him, or run into the night? Zak will do all he can to make sure she chooses him.

Thinking Through The Body, workshop, Bundanon Trust

THE BODY OBSERVED IS A KEY TO OUR CULTURE. THE BODY AS TEMPLE PERMEATES PARTS OF THAT CULTURE IN WAYS THAT ARE REGARDED WITH CURIOSITY. THE TEMPLE OF KNOWLEDGE IS ANOTHER APPROACH TO THE BODY, UNDERSTANDING OUR EXPERIENCE OF THE WORLD THROUGH REFLECTIVE PRACTICE AND EXPERIMENTATION WITH TOUCH, MOVEMENT AND THE SENSE OF ONE’S POSITION AND VOLUME IN SPACE—PROPRIOCEPTION. THINKING THROUGH THE BODY (TTTB) IS A NSW-BASED INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH PROJECT EXPLORING THE USE AND POTENTIAL OF THE BODY IN INTERACTIVE ART PRACTICES.
While for the past five decades research around the potential of the body in contemporary culture has developed exponentially, from philosophy and sociology, to contemporary arts, healthcare and human-computer interaction design, including haptic displays, bio-metrics, robotics etc, the lived experience of the body-as-subject has remained largely unexamined.
The project began over two years ago in response to the Australia Council for the Arts Inter-Arts Office ArtLab 2008 initiative, that set out to fund up to $75,000 development projects “with an artistic process that demands a very high degree of risk-taking from all involved.” Artists would be expected to experiment with “radical creative processes and be flexible to outcomes that cannot be predicted in advance.” The industry partners with TTTB in this process included Campbelltown Arts Centre, Bundanon Trust and Performance Space, who provided quite different spaces in which the work could proceed.
Without a doubt all the parties involved took risks, launching into unknown territories both as individuals, groups and organisations; no neat outcome could be assuredly predicted. TTTB demonstrated the need for focused research applied to interdisciplinary practice—many of us often seek material contexts for achieving this—but how are we now situated using the knowledge gained through the series of events pursued by this group of collaborators?
One of the project’s initiators, Lizzie Muller, framed some initial conclusions about what has happened as “an experiment in exchanging knowledge and also an experiment in making.” As a curator and recent researcher in the area of interactive media arts, she had previously worked with George Khut on the Cardiomorphologies project through the Creativity & Cognition Studios at UTS and Beta_space at the Powerhouse Museum (RT72, p10). Carefully developed approaches to observing and understanding audience experience of the bio-feedback gained through interaction with the Cardiomorphologies installation led Khut towards recognising the need “to spend some time thinking about connections that I was very interested in between interactive art and somatic bodywork practice. The practice is essentially about a way of re-experiencing the organisation of yourself—of your muscles and skeleton and the movement patterns that you’ve learnt through your life from infancy…Comparable forms of somatic bodywork might be the Feldenkrais Method, the Alexander Technique, things like Body-Mind Centering from Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen…”
The eight TTTB collaborators included Catherine Truman, an artist and certified Feldenkrais practitioner and another Adelaide-based trainer in the discipline, Maggie Slattery; Jonathan Duckworth, artist and interaction designer from Melbourne; Garth Paine artist and academic researcher at the University of Western Sydney’s VIPRe Studios; Lian Loke, artist and Interaction researcher at UTS Human Centred Technology Design group; and media artist and writer Somaya Langley.
Initially, when the group assembled at Campbelltown for the first residency in mid-2008, the differences for Slattery were palpable: “I’ll never forget the first time we had a meeting and everybody but me sat with a laptop on their lap; and I felt naked because I didn’t have a belly that was a screen where I could play my work…The emergence of interactive art began to make sense to me, as somebody outside of a generation who has grown up with technology. One of the things I picked up on was where the word interface is about a relational point between technology and self”, a difference amplified later by Langley: “most of the work that I do is in front of a laptop, so my brain’s out there, the laptop’s my entire interface to what I’m doing.”
Reflections about the initial shared space continued on the TTTB website leading on to the residency six months later at the Bundanon Trust on the Shoalhaven River in rural NSW. Muller observes that, “we were all abducted by aliens, which sounds extreme, but as a metaphor for what an intense experience we’d had it conveys a sense of it to other people.” The Feldenkrais practitioners took a lead, with Truman working through a series of awareness-through-movement lessons interspersed with workshops based on drawing the body; then moulding the body from clay, repeated both sighted and unsighted. “I’m finding each person in this workshop through my philosophy, I guess, and I’m trying to say, what is it you’re asking in your work? Or what is it that interests you? I think it’s really that simple. Rather than what’s out here, what does this technology do, I’m just trying to get people to—and it’s a question I ask myself, it’s my learning, my questions, things I need to know—why is it so important that I need to ask this of somebody else?”
For Khut the outcomes from Bundanon were about establishing a shared language and working through questions as they arose. “So we’re not making art from Feldenkrais or making Feldenkrais from art, it was something else, an understanding. It was about trying to identify these shared approaches and shared sets of questions that these two areas had and how they could enrich each other…[W]e had a session where we brought in some different interactive systems that made sounds from movement or light, or you would hear things in relation to a landscape and we were able to reflect on that in combination with the two workshops that Catherine [Truman] did; and then the workshop that Jonathan [Duckworth] did, which was about being in the landscape and how that connects to an experience of embodiment.“

Duckworth works professionally with patients who have suffered traumatic brain injury and as a result their body self-image is fragmented, resulting in difficulty moving and coordinating a number of motor functions. “So this workshop has helped me realise that the sensing required to become aware of your own body was in much finer detail than the way that I’d been exploring previously.”
At Sensorium Gymnasium, a day-long opportunity for visitors to engage with TTTB’s experiments, Garth Paine’s installation was constructed to demonstrate some provisional conclusions: “I’ve been recording motion capture data [gathered from] subtle Feldenkrais manipulation and it does have incredibly fine nuance which is something I can take away and continue to work with and share...I’m sonifying data at the moment and might also generate some visualisations. So there could be an experiential space that becomes a real-time sonification and visualisation of motion capture data in the space.”
Lian Loke’s understanding of the body comes from dance. The design approach to working with motion-sensing technologies has encouraged her to map relationships between the languages and vocabularies of other disciplines for her use as a designer, to negotiate the different perspectives afforded. The experience has been “about skilling up in that way so I can actually come from a more established foundation myself when designing things.”
Lizzie Muller in describing the “profound gift” of the experience concludes that, “Working in this way with these people has helped me to understand what it is that draws me to art. It is to do with the way it transforms our ability to understand the world.” George Khut has concluded “what motivates me is a desire to create systems and situations that support us to become more alive to the worlds around us and within us; and to be able to experience and engage with this aliveness with a sense of grace, delight and care.”

How to Create Freedom and Opportunity for Illegal Immigrants in Their Own Countries.
THE DESPERATION THAT drives millions of illegal immigrants into this country will never subside as long as they see no hope and no opportunity in their stagnant homeland economies. Fortunately, there is a way the United States could jump-start vibrant, non-corrupt, globalized economies inside otherwise destitute third world countries. We could do it soon, and we could do it for a lot less than we’d have to pay to assimilate millions more illegal aliens. The solution is to adapt and propagate the free market model of post-colonial Hong Kong.
Hong Kong was always different than other colonies. It began in 1842 as a minor trading post, surrounded by empty territory. Like the United States, most of Hong Kong’s citizens were drawn there for freedom and opportunity. As Milton Friedman noted, after the Second World War Britain allowed Hong Kong to pursue a classical liberal, free market policy. Even during its own dalliance with socialism, Britain allowed capital to move freely in Hong Kong. Taxes were kept low and there were no exchange or trade restrictions. The results were spectacular. Despite absorbing millions of impoverished refugees, Hong Kong’s per capita income rose from about a quarter of Britain’s to more than a third larger in just four decades.
In 1984 Margaret Thatcher’s UK signed an agreement with China that promised to continue Hong Kong’s unique role for another 50 years. Post-colonial Hong Kong was to become a free city inside China, with its own laws, democratic legislature, and independent judiciary. It kept its free market economy, its low rate tax system, and its separate, convertible currency. China traded a negligible dilution of its sovereignty for the enormous benefits it derives from a free Hong Kong. It calls this arrangement “One Country, Two Systems.”
With billions of people still trapped in poverty, it’s time to build new Hong Kongs. The best solution for millions of illegal immigrants rushing to the United States is to offer them hope and opportunity in their own countries.
The United States should create a Free Cities Program that would build treaty-based “Hong Kongs” in countries that genuinely want democracy, prosperity, and a way to outflank corruption. These new cities would be joint ventures between the United States, an international financial institution like the World Bank, and the host governments. The U.S. would negotiate 50-year bilateral treaties with the host countries, authorizing the joint venture to purchase undeveloped plots the size of Hong Kong, establish property registries, and institute a complete set of Western freedoms and responsibilities.
Treaty-based Free Cities would offer democracy, low taxes, rule of law, limited government, reliable prosecution of corruption, freedom of faith, speech and press, multiethnic meritocracy, and free trade. They would exemplify free market globalization, rather than the economic exploitation of protectionist colonialism. Like Hong Kong, these tiny places would become safe havens for investors and entrepreneurs. They’d allow citizens to raise capital, attract the skills they need from abroad, and create thousands of new jobs where there are none today.
This strategy would be inexpensive, yet philosophically revolutionary. In a Free City, development wouldn’t be a problem at all. Investors and workers will absolutely flock to places where there is freedom, secure property rights, and the rule of law- -thereby reversing the capital flight and worker exodus that hobble nearly every developing country.
The joint venture would only have to build the Free Cities’ public infrastructure, and that would be financed by resale of city land, city taxes, and bonds. The global private sector would gladly develop everything else because they’d be able to reap the rewards of their own enterprise.
The people attracted to Free Cities would become stakeholders who would resist aggressively any interference with their freedoms, as the citizens of Hong Kong have. And the host country’s ruling elite would learn quickly, as China’s did, that they can earn much more in their Free City than they’d ever be able to pocket from foreign aid or “squeeze.”
This strategy could change the focus of America’s foreign aid programs from government-to-government to people-to-people. Free Cities would mobilize the private sector, NGOs, and the faith community to build first world economies in destitute places. In the process, it could stimulate a profound new American engagement with the poor of the world.
A Free Cities program would appeal powerfully to the idealism and generosity of the American people–and to the friends of freedom around the world. It would put the United States on the offensive in the worldwide war of ideas. And it would put dictators, kleptocrats, and terrorists on the defensive.
The world needs at least a dozen new Hong Kongs. The United States should lead the way and begin building Free Cities in Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Asia in the next five years. The real answer to illegal immigration is to share the freedom and opportunity we enjoy in America with people around the world.

IFI Horrorthon 2016 Review - BEYOND THE GATES
Two brothers come across a mysterious VHS game which may be related to their father's disappearance.
Review by Eric Hillis (@hilliseric)
Directed by: Jackson Stewart
Starring: Graham Skipper, Chase Williamson, Barbara Crampton, Brea Grant, Sara Malakul Lane, Jesse Merlin
Mixing old school genre tropes with a very modern indie drama sensibility, Jackson Stewart has delivered one of the best horror movies of recent years, a film that isn't short on brains, guts and most importantly, heart.
'Charming' and 'heart-warming' aren't adjectives usually associated with horror movies, but Beyond the Gates - writer-director Jackson Stewart's love letter to 1980s genre cinema and the joys of the video store - really is bloody lovely, a warm blanket for horror fans to snuggle under.
Nostalgia is everywhere on screen today, but while Hollywood is exploiting it as a way to cash-in by rebooting previously dead franchises and shows like Stranger Things ram it down our throats by somewhat cynically filling the screen with '80s ephemera, Beyond the Gates evokes the sensation simply because it really does resemble a movie you might have stumbled across in the horror section of your local rental store 30 years ago.
Stewart opens his tale with a flashback to the opening of a family owned video store in 1992, and instantly anyone old enough to remember such establishments will feel a few butterflies in the pits of their stomachs. We then cut to the post-analog present, where said store is long derelict. Arriving to clear it out are a pair of previously estranged brothers - uptight Gordon (Graham Skipper) and manchild John (Chase Williamson) - the sons of the store's previous owner, who vanished long enough ago to now be declared legally dead.
Revisiting the aisles of their family's once great picture palace (if you're like me, you'll find yourself squinting to identify the many VHS spines), the two brothers bond over childhood memories, and realising his brother is essentially homeless, Gordon invites John to stay in the home he has now inherited with his bubbly girlfriend Margot (Brea Grant).
While clearing out the store, the two come across an old VHS board game. For those of you too young to remember, back in the day some board games came with a VHS tape which the game required you to play at strategic points. Taking it home, Gordon, John and Margot settle down for an evening of nostalgic gaming. Playing the VHS tape, the trio are greeted with the face of a beautiful woman (Barbara Crampton, looking as good as she did in her Re-Animator days) clad in a classic Hammer style white gown. Her cryptic dialogue doesn't seem to have anything to do with the game, and when a friend visits, it becomes clear she is only visible to our three heroes. As the gang play the game and uncover clues that seem to be related to their father's disappearance, their actions have deadly consequences for those around them.
Try to imagine a horror movie made by Kenneth Lonergan and you'll have some idea of the tone of Beyond the Gates. While Stewart handles the horror element in a fun manner that will please gorehounds and genre buffs, his film is really a homecoming drama in a Halloween costume, and a truly endearing one. Gordon, John and Margot are genuinely likeable, the sort of fictional characters you would enjoy hanging out with regardless of the storyline, and the reconciliation between Gordon and John is a sincerely touching, literal 'bro'-mance.
It's the innocence of Beyond the Gates that makes it feel so much like a lost film from a past era. It's a movie that's unafraid to be a little silly at times, yet it never delves into comedy of a crass variety. A sub-plot involving a spooky bric-a-brac store run by an oddball proprietor (played with relish by Jesse Merlin) is frankly ridiculous, yet it never feels out of place or a distraction from the main narrative. Similarly, characters behave in a manner that would make little sense in the real world, but in the milieu of the film their behaviour feels just right.

Age Concern to open new social club for senior citizens in Arroyo de la Miel
The day centre is open to the English-speaking community of Benalmádena and will offer weekly meetings, lunch clubs and social events
Tony Bryant | BENALMÁDENA.
20 September 201912:17
Age Concern Fuengirola/Mijas will open its new social club in Arroyo de la Miel next week. The day centre, the charity's fourth, is open to the English-speaking community of Benalmádena and will offer weekly meetings, monthly lunch clubs, outings and special social events.
The new centre, which will be inaugurated by the mayor of Benalmádena, Víctor Navas, on Monday 23 September at 10.30am, is located in Edificio Anica Torres (the pensionista building ) in Plaza Mezquita. The Age Concern welfare team will be on hand to answer questions, while volunteers will offer information on ways the local community can get involved with the charity.
"The centre is open to the whole English-speaking community and they are invited to come along and meet our volunteers, say hello to old friends and get to know new ones," secretary Steve Marshall told SUR in English.
Age Concern Fuengirola/Mijas began in 2014 with the intent of helping senior citizens combat loneliness and isolation, and along with its four social clubs, the charity also organises an annual fundraising challenge. The challenges are designed to demonstrate that senior citizens can still enjoy adventure pastimes and an active social life. Previous events have included a skydive and a cross-border zip wire flight. This year, the daredevil pensioners and supporters will abseil down the side of the Sunset Beach Hotel in Benalmádena.
"These events show that for most of us, age should not be a barrier. Age Concern is a 'can do' charity run by 'can do' volunteers and all our clients are encouraged to live life to the fullest extent possible," the secretary explained.
The challenge will take place at 12.30pm on Wednesday 2 October and spectators are welcome.

<Bridging alumni and students together in Dublin
SBE alumnus Nils Hemmerle on his life and career nearly 15 years’ on>
SBE alumnus Christopher Pena on life running the Playground Art Center in Spain
Tracy Brown Hamiltonon June 1, 2018 /0 comments
A formerly dilapidated factory in the heart of Valenica, Spain, has now become the Playground Art Center, a thriving arts academy and community centre for children and adults alike, due to the vision and effort of SBE alumnus Christopher Pena and his wife, Ankie Titulaer (Conservatorium Maastricht).
A long way from his hometown of Santa Barbara, California, and a giant leap from his previous career as a sports agent, Pena decided he wanted a change. “I was looking for a long-term building project to keep me grounded and to do some good, so we decided to dive in head first,” he says.
After purchasing the old factory one year ago, Pena got to work. “It was really a time capsule,” he says. “I spent a year on renovations, getting rid of anything that was junk and keeping anything that was cool, and then we reincorporated that into the space.”
Opened now for one year, the centre—which houses an art gallery, a nice café and rooms that can be rented for events and exhibitions—offers courses in everything from painting to dance to theatre to LEGO robotics, all taught by experts in their fields.
Kids arrive after school to participate in the courses, and adults arrive in the evenings. “Our students range from age 2 to . . . there’s no cap on the age,” Pena says. “We’ve got 85 students right now, which sounds like a lot, but it’s a large space at 800 square metres so we are pushing for international collaborations, student exchanges, Spanish as a foreign language and new innovative ideas!”
In addition, classes are mainly taught in English—the only art academy in the city to do so. According to the centre’s Facebook page, this is due to the belief of Pena and his wife, who is the director of the school, that “linguistic learning is easiest while doing the things you love.”
The Valencian community, which Pena describes as “vibrant,” has so far responded with great enthusiasm to engaging in creative and unique cultural activities while learning English at the same time.
For Pena and his wife it’s been an opportunity to focus their energy on non-traditional education, something he says they have always loved, and to apply a particular method to the teaching that challenges the norm.“We call it project-based learning,” he says. “We want to guide the students to achieving a result they are proud of start to finish and celebrate the completion with social recognition. It builds their confidence, and opens them up to something new.”
Christopher Pena graduated MSc International Business with a specialisation in Marketing-Finance (2011) from Maastricht University School of Business and Economics. Find out more about activities at the Playground Art Center on YouTube and follow the Center on Facebook. If you are looking to be hosted in Valencia or can use the help of Pena’s network there, or want to learn Spanish through cultural events in the city, contact the Center via www.playgroundartcenter.com.
