By Alexa Dalby ★★★★, Cannes Film Festival 2018, Colombia, Denmark, London Film Festival 2018, Mexico, out now October 16, 2018
Colombia Gold
CAUTION: Here be spoilers
The Wayuu are an indigenous tribe that live in a desert peninsular in the far north of Colombia. They have deeply ingrained traditional rituals and their own spirituality of dreams and omens. They defend their culture against erosion by outsiders – the aliujuna – be they Colombians or gringos.
Set in the 1970s, Birds of Passage starts with beautiful Zaida (Natalia Reyes) and the ceremony celebrating her becoming a woman. As she dances the traditional yonna, Rapayet (José Acosta), a young man from a neighbouring tribe dances with her and vows to marry her. But though he is from a neighbouring tribe, he is returning from the city where he lived growing up and this experience has corrupted the purity of his Wayuu heritage. He can speak Spanish as well as the tribe’s language and thinks he knows how to do business with the alijuna.
To raise the dowry he has to pay for Zaida, he seizes the opportunity to sell mule-loads of the marijuana that grows freely on his cousin’s plantation in the hills to the gringos who crave it and he turns this into an extended family business. At first it’s successful and grows rapidly and exponentially, enriching him and his family. He builds a sleek house where their palm leaf huts were – though they still sleep in hammocks rather than beds – owns cars and even a plane. But over a decade, with these riches come rivalry, betrayal and violent warfare with modern weapons between formerly close and peaceful communities.
The film has stunning shots of the harsh environment the Wayuu live in and an almost ethnographic observation of the traditions intrinsic to their life. There’s an other-worldly soundtrack played on traditional instruments. In tune with nature, they respect omens in the natural world and, for them, in a society where nothing is written, the word is sacred, with certain elders having the protected status, similar to that of ambassador, of Word Messenger.
Ursula (Carmina Martinez), Zaida’s mother, is the matriarch and spiritual leader who is prepared to do anything to keep her family together. But, strong as she is, even as she fights to maintain the traditions, the corruption that has been introduced though Rayayet’s contacts with the outside world is desecrating them.
Birds of Passage is fascinating, thought-provoking and saddening as we see the roots of the lawless trade Colombia became known for and watch a threatened culture destroying itself.
Birds of Passage premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and premiers in the UK at the BFI London Film festival on 17 and 18 October 2018.

Located midway along the Fossickers Way, Barraba is nestled in the heart of the Nandewar Ranges and is surrounded by natural beauty. Straddling the Peel Fault, a geological fault line which runs from north to south, the district is an exceptional area for fossicking and gem hunting.
Barraba has many natural attractions from towering mountains and ancient rock formations to rare flora and fauna species.The back-gateway to the summit of Mt Kaputar can be reached by travelling along the Barraba Track (4WD only) which passes through some of the most westerly rainforest in the state, before reaching an altitude of 1510m at the summit. Spectacular and magnificent are not strong enough words to describe the view, which takes in about 10 per cent of NSW. Horton Falls which are found just off the Barraba Track make quite a splash plummeting 83m to the valley floor.
The Barraba area is a renowned district for bird-watching, which can be undertaken along any of the 14 recognised "bird routes" in the area - a natural tourism attraction that won the region an award for environmental tourism. Bird-watching enthusiasts may also be able to spot the endangered Regent Honeyeater among the some 190 species of birds that frequent the area.
Barraba is also the home of the endangered Boronia Ruppi, a rare plant species only found in this NSW district.
Split Rock Dam is located 15km south of Barraba and between this water reservoir and the local rivers, the district offers some fishing for Murray Cod, golden and silver perch, and catfish. Split Rock Dam is also a wonderful facility for many water-sports and other activities such as sailing, water skiing and camping. Visitors choosing to travel to the northern end of the dam will also be able to take in the scenic surround of Glenriddle Reserve.
Mining and Fossicking
In the 1850s, gold was discovered at Woodsreef, Ironbark and Nangahrah creeks and at Crow Mountain, which in its time, made way for two other mining villages (Woodsreef and Gulf Creek) that were located near Barraba and were about the same size, but have since been abandoned. Diatomite is still mined around Bell’s Mountain along with invertebrate fossils sometimes found, while the diverse range of geological changes in the district make for excellent fossicking.
Gold and other minerals such as copper, pyrites, jasper, garnets, zeolite, as well as opaque red, brown and yellow quartz, can be found in the 540ha Woodsreef Recreation Reserve and other fossicking areas in the vicinity while petrified and opalised wood, as well as plant fossils can be found along the roadside near Mt Lindsay.
Visitors are welcome to explore the fossicking reserves established at Ironbark Creek and Woodsreef, which are open for camping and bushwalking daily.
Barraba's attraction is not only limited to nature-based activities, visitors who wander down the main street of the town can immerse themselves in the past, viewing the numerous historic buildings, some of which date back to the 1880s and are heritage listed. Enjoy the beautiful tree-lined streets or stop in at the museum to see relics from a by-gone era.

Engine Conversions
Exhaust Analysis
BMW Engines
Classic BMW - The Range
E12 5 series 73 – 81
Body panels are now in great demand, drivers doors are at a premium. Bright work, (bumpers etc) are a constant problem, engines, gearboxes and suspension are available from 1.8ltr through to 3.5ltr.E21 3 series 75 – 82/. Rust in the floor pan both sides can be terminal, also rear suspension towers (the springs DO come up through). Doors don’t seem to rust, but boot and bonnet ‘go’ around the seams. Other places prone to corrosion are below the rear windows, the front corner of the side windows and the rear wheel arches. But all is not lost as repro parts are available, and we can rebuild it.
E23 Seven series 76 – 86
Rust in the front suspension McPherson strut spring pan seems to be the most dire thing that goes wrong, other than fitful electrics, temperamental door locks and what a daft place to put an E.C.U.
E24 Series one, E12 based 76 – 81 and series two, E28 based 82 – 90
Beloved of us all, the series one rusts, rusts and rusts. The series two rusts, rusts and rusts as well, but is also prone to corroded front bumpers, flitch panels, rear wheel arches and of course the front wings. The later “highline” incarnation is both heavier and slower, with equally disastrous fuel economy due to its extra appendages This “face lift” version is also prone to the “red menace” but it is hidden behind the plastic add-ons, buyers beware!
Much beloved by taxi drivers all over the world, the 518i lives on, the 520i is a bit of a lost cause, the 525e has its own cult following and remains a firm favourite with all that discover it, the 528i just stands up to scrutiny, and the 535i tops the list as ‘most wanted’ as are a good proportion of its drivers! The downside is, of course, rust, but this is not so bad as the six series. Jacking points are the Achilles heel, and now front floor pans are rearing their ugly undersides as the cars get older, electrical (the SI board), and assorted electrical problems along with tired engines are some of the downsides, but in their defence, the 535i’s can be made to fly…
E30 3 series
Evolution of the 3series into a “softer” feeling car, with a variety of engine sizes starting at l.6 through 1.8, 2Lt 2-3 and 2.5 at the top of the capacity tree. Often removed to be re-installed in E21’s, the 2.5 was always the one to have, in the two-door shell. The E30 is now a classic in its own right, where before it was cannibalised for its 2.5 engines and ‘boxes, E36 M3 wrecks are being dismantled and their running gears shoehorned in to the E30 chassis with devastating effect. Lesser power plants, derived from E34 and E36 series cars are finding their way into the lighter more responsive E30, with eye watering results. The M50 and M52 engines are regular candidates for this treatment, see the engines swop section for more details. Also worthy of note here is the 1.8 i.s. variation, one o f BMW’s best-kept secrets. Introduced to counteract the VW golf etc, B.Ms buzz “box packs a hefty punch of high revving twin cam engine, awesome handling, and incredible economy especially when driven “with enthusiasm” a gem of a car and often overlooked. .
Early 7 series type car, handsome machine with wonderful period touches, classic to its bones with choice of engine sizes. We’ve had a few and can locate parts.
CSi coupe, forerunner of the six series (E24) and loaded with style, used as the basis for BMW official race car in the seventies, and supplied with “batmobile” fins & wings as DIY bolt on’s.
The famous 1602 and 2002 sports saloon forerunner of the E21 and evolved into the E30, good solid examples are hard to find and can be expensive. We sometimes have them in stock please ask for what you want.

Counterweight 5: Audience Frustration
In this episode of Counterweight, Eric Brasure and Joel "HM" Goodwin tackle the game show. Are the best game shows about the contestants, the games or the sheer spectacle? Is there still life in the format? Does this have anything to do with videogames?
01:30 "I'm going to use American examples because I am an American." ("Shit.")
03:50 "That's not the answer, you idiot!"
06:50 "There is no game show without the viewer, so you have to be involved in some way."
08:30 "They're really interested in people who get really wrong answers as opposed to the right ones."
12:10 "You're not playing along - so why is that interesting to watch?"
17:00 "I remember being bewildered by Shooting Stars, it made no sense to me."
27:10 "It's all about getting rid of people instead of watching people succeed, which I think is really problematic."
29:30 "On the whole, I think the game is less important than the people playing it."
35:50 "It was so tense. So many kids were killed on that show."
38:10 "The best physical game shows... remind us of what it's like to be kids."

Yes, that show is really called “Golden Balls”.
One thing we could have discussed but didn’t: do types of game shows correspond to audience segmentation in any way? Do people only watch certain genres of game show and avoid others? What kind of relationship do people have with game shows anyway?
July 3rd, 2013 - 13:47
I had lots of other thoughts after we finished the podcast, about the role of game shows and their place in the home – television that binds family and friend together. (Of course, some people watch alone and tweet into hashtag streams. Is that different?)
And we really didn’t look closely into a connection to videogames because I think there’s a lot of overlap here. Game shows are primarily designed to be spectator sports and come with all the baggage that entails, whereas your typical videogame is usually more concerned with engaging a single player. More J.S. Joust than Half-Life.
Anyway, we made this podcast for Pippin Barr and I’ll guess we have to wait until he listens to it. He might have some thoughts. You never know.
Eric – you clearly don’t think game shows are “junk” disposable mainstream culture, yet they’re often painted as such. There’s some analogue to games in there too. Not all games have to be art?
No, not all games have to be art, thank god. Most games aren’t art. And that’s okay! They’re better in some respects. Have you ever BEEN to a museum? They have PAINTINGS! Just hanging on the WALL! They’re not 3D or nothin’. And each one has a little plaque that you’re supposed to READ! I’m so tired of hand-holding tutorials.
July 4th, 2013 - 23:49
Funnily enough, if you had revealed that this was all a criticism of let’s play, I would’ve believed you.
But learning about Golden Balls was great. Thanks for the balls, Eric.
@Beam – As far as I’m aware no one has really looked at the link between videogames and the game show format. Then again, neither did Eric and I. Well, it seemed like a good idea on paper!
Also, on Golden Balls – that’s my hefty addition to the podcast, not Eric’s. You should be thanking my balls. Or something in that department.
@HM:
I wouldn’t believe it without Eric’s confirmation in the comments. Let’s compromise:
Eric, thanks for confirming Joel’s balls.

ROCKTOBER BLOOD (1984)
Tray Loren, Donna Scoggins, Cana Cockrell, Nigel Benjamin, and Every painters’ hat-wearing metal-smoking cheeseball you avoided in high school.
Also, it’s apparently directed by “The Benjamin’s”.
Watch the trailer here.
Watch the entire movie for free here.
Rocktober Blood is the hottest rock ‘n roll sensation since Sad Iron and lead singer Billy Eye (Loren) is going to shriek his angst-fueled tunes until your great grandma spontaneously gives birth.
Pretty much this.
Lynn Starling (Scoggins) is the band’s scorching back-up singer who worships cocky horndog Billy but yearns for the spotlight. But Billy has nothing but contempt for the ambitious songbird.
"Eyes to see you."
So after a late-night recording session, Billy suddenly goes ape shit and starts offing members of the band and members of the creative force that spawned it. Like these guys.
Looks like the mean pinball played him.
Iron Maiden, literally.
We are told that Billy was killed after massacring 25 folks which conveniently happened off-screen. No one knows what set precipitated his blood-soaked rampage. Perhaps he actually heard his own music?
Two years later, Lynn is the lead singer of her own band having gained infamy as the sole survivor of Billy's implied murderous madness. Despite her rising stardom, she is still tormented by bad memories and trauma. She begins to hallucinate Billy's return at a concert which is highlighted by a hopping goof in a ghoul mask.
Nothing's more metal than a break-dancing dork in a Parties 'R Us mask.
After being chased around by said ghoul, Lynn retreats to her home in the country where she does continues to be followed, harassed, and prank-called by someone claiming to be Billy. She can't even do aerobics in peace!
"The call is coming from inside your leg warmers!"
Shit gets real when her super-fit friends start dying one-by-one in her tastefully decorated spa.
"J'accuse-i!"
Despite the bloodshed, no one believes Lynn and eventually she's talked back into going through with her concert tour. Just before the show, she's kidnapped by Billy who takes the stage and begins his own very farewell show by stabbing on-stage dancers and shaking his hips while poorly choreographed metal capering ensues.
"Nigel Tufnel's gonna be so jealous!"
Lynn struggles to fight back against Billy while belting out her screechy tunes while groupies and bass players lie impaled around her. And as the battle ensues onstage for all the world to see, we finally discover the secret of Billy Eyes' seeming resurrection, a syndrome that plagued every narrative form in the 80s:
The Evil Twin.
Rocktober Blood is a fairly heinous assault on your 80s slasher senses, and I don't mean in a heinous-is-good kind of way. One of several metal maniac horror flicks that (probably) tried to profit off the heavy metal/Satanism paranoia of the time, the movie aims for somewhere between the Slipknot/GWAR grotesqueness of Neon Maniacs and the very watchable antics of Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne in Trick Or Treat. Instead, this very low budget and poorly lit flick struggles to stay within the company of the fascinatingly weird oeuvre of Jon Mikl Thor and the putrid no-budget wallowing of Hard Rock Zombies. Lead Tray Loren as the immensely punchable Billy Eyes succeeds in douchey exaltation as the other mumbling actors try their best to remember they're still in a movie. Basically, it's as if someone was stalking the cast of Heavy Metal Parking Lot. The music is somewhat infectious and not completely horrible, especially Lynn's signature tune "Rainbow Eyes". But it's been like 20 minutes since I finished the movie and that earworm appears to have dried up. Unfortunately, the heavy metal massacre genre also appears to have dissipated, much like studded leather pants swaying on a clothesline in the heavy metal rest home of our bad movie memory.

Understanding Dark Souls difficulty
Pages 1 2 3 4 5 NEXT
zinho73
1 POSTED: 10 Sep 2012 08:54
Due to a supposed mistranslated statement of the Dark Souls designer, a lot of people were talking about a more easy and accessible Dark Souls experience "so everyone could play the game".
Well, I got news, everyone can play the game now, exactly as it is.
Dark Souls is not difficult because it requires inhuman skill (like some platformers). In fact, in that regard it is much easier than any super Mario game.
Dark Souls is difficult for many people because it requires a skill set that is lost to gamers nowadays (and most people in general):
. patience;
. lateral thinking;
. observation;
. experimentation;
It is a unique experience because while playing you do not evolve your character as much as you evolve yourself as a player. It is unbelievably rewarding to decipher the innumerous secrets of the game. That's the game, the discovery. The game is not about running around killing monsters.
It is insanely awesome to see that something that looked like impossible a few hours ago you can now do with your eyes closed (well, maybe one eye closed).
Putting a minimap, an extensive tutorial and save points on the game would not make the game easier - it would be creating another game - one that is simply not nearly as interesting or innovative.
Dark Souls is a unique, intelligent new experience, we really should not be trying to make it equal to other thousands of games.
I understand the frustration if you want to experience the setting but thinks the experience is too hard. But, honestly, have you even tried? Most people shy away from the game because of its fame alone.
A friend of mine have arthritis and cannot play most fight games and platformers and, after a little bit of effort he finished the game twice already.
I am not a very accomplished player also. I can't memorize patterns very well, I can't do a combo in a fighting game for the life of me and cannot drive in a straight line in racing games. And I completed the new content for the game dying only twice.
The famous super uber difficulty of Dark Souls (and Demons Souls for that matter), can be easily conquered by rethinking yourself as a gamer, being more methodical in your approach.
Some people say that an easy mode doesn't hurt because you doesn't have to play it. But the fact that Dark Souls have only one setting of difficulty works as a watermark, a parameter for your successes and failures.
This is what makes people to come back to the game - discovering the new ways to kill a boss or getting the most difficult equipment should be a reference to all. Why? Simply because there's no game that does it now. Comparing notes, efforts and challenges is part of the game. Some things in the game are meant to be very hard to discover and an easy way around it just kills the sense of accomplishment that is so impressive in this game.
Hell, the game became huge mostly because of its style and difficulty. Why try to make something so innovative into another triple A title with all the trappings that executives think that are required for a game to succeed?
In any case, the discussion is moot because lazy people are already cheating their way into the game, making everything supereasy. Which would be fine, I think, if they weren't bringing their fake accomplishments online, to the multiplayer component of the game.
But this is people for you. There will always be someone ready to spoil everyone's fun on the behalf of their fun. We cannot do much about this, unfortunately.
What we can do is enjoy one of the greatest games of all time in the way that made it one of the greatest games of all time: difficult, but conquerable.
Capcha: comfort zone. So true...
KFalcon
This is true.
I think games these days hold your hand for a lot so people have become lazy. For example: Prince of Persia (2008) - theres a button which pretty much tells you exactly where and how you can reach where you need to go and in the boss fights it tells you exactly what to press and when. In the PoP trilogy, this didn't exist and it was fun to figure out how you can make it to X ledge and how to defeat certain bosses. As you pointed out, many games have more checkpoints hints etc to help which adds a certain level of easiness and I think it makes you a bit more mindless as well.
I picked up Dark Souls the other day, and I can safely say I was one of the people you mentioned who forgot about the skill set you need for this game, but now I'm starting to enjoy the game because I realized that this game requires you to adapt and be patient for the openings etc (this was applicable to many older games).
BlueberryMUNCH
Yeah you're right. It's not difficult; just requires practice and patience.
God I love the game.
Thing is, I don't think anything else on this matter can be said outside of this video..
So yeah. It cannot happen. If they want a more 'accessible' game...don't make it a part of the Souls series.
KFalcon:
Welcome to Dark Souls! Check out the channel I linked; the guy's amazing.
King Billi
I don't think Dark Souls is above having an easier difficulty.
As long as the original difficulty is kept intact I don't see why this should be a big deal.
yaydod
I do agree with about the skills set and all that BUT (and this is a big sweaty one) i would appreciate that the game explains some basic stuff like, what does this allegiance give me? What does this symbol mean in the black smith upgrade part? OOH goody i got a buff .... what does it do (more accurately by how much does it increase)?
It is true it is fun to stroll around and find things out by your own, true, but i find it slightly obnoxious if you have to check out FAQs to get basic info.
Other thing I would like to see improved is the dodge response, when i press the button once with no direction i want to dodge back and when i press it again while pressing the analog stick all the way to the left, i do NOT want to dodge roll strait in front of me T.T
And last rant is about boss damage, I don't mind 1 hit kills if i can dodge them, I do mind when the same attack can take away 1/4 of my life and the next same hit, instant death with full health, this is very obvious against the "fire giant" (boss right after the fire spider boss)
I do like the game but it frustrates me to no end when people call it "world crushing hard", no it is not a game that is that hard, not easy yes but most of the difficulty comes from the total lack of info on some important things, very unintuitive and especially OBNOXIOUS level design (how many times you were stuck in an area for a while and after 4/5 back tracks, OOH there was a stair/ladder here, i luve you bad design <3 )
So basically the game is not bad, and actually fun (more like, this ****ing game won't beat me) but it could use some optimization on several points to make it allot better.
Who cares if there is an option for difficulty level, that would not be a horrible thing actually ( low difficulty lvl : monster do lower dmg, maybe a bit less health, thats it).
King Billi:
Not above, no. The problem is that the difficulty is so integral to the game experience that it would not be Dark Souls anymore. It would play like a totally different game.
To yaydod:
yeah, the game is not perfect, but some of this stuff is actually not really related with the difficulty per se, although they can add to frustration.
The whole covenant thing I guess was poorly implemented - more mysterious than it should be and less rewarding than it could be.
The delay on the dodge can also be annoying.
Also to king billi: and I guess that Dark Souls already has an easy mode: it is called time. People just don't have the patience to understand the game anymore.
capcha: bee line. Very appropriate, that exactly how people want their games nowadays. Nothing wrong with that, but we should not want all games to provide the same experience, the same level of challenge, etc.
aguspal
I dont know man.
For the little I TRIED (key word) to play the pc version of this game, it seemed a tad boring. But I only played around 10 minutes or so, I didnt gave it much of a chance... But then again, thats because I dosnt really seem to want that chance, because of the fucked up camera controls, the ingame cursor (I LOL´D when I saw that. Classic) and Then theres the whole XBOX buttons instead of the pc ones... Umm, yeah. Bad port much? I could deal with Binary Domain pretty quickly, in fact It was only the first half an hour or so that I couldt dominate the controls, after that I was more then fine and completed it in the hardest difficulty with little trouble (Then again thats not saying much, the game is rather easy. Very.)
For a game thats famous for its difficulty, I excepted the pc port to have accuarate controls, at the very least...

The only "skill" Dark Souls requires is knowledge. The game isn't difficult in the sense that it requires training and reflexes, in fact the combat is deliberately slow-paced. And it is that way because it's designed with its online hint system in mind. Take away the secrets and traps, and that system is broken.
To get more people to play the game, you don't have to make it easier, but more accessible. Making the player figure out your game without him putting effort in figuring out your game is an art within game design.
yaydod:
That's what the status screen is for and if you level up, it displays the changes a stat gives you in the level up screen.
Dodge usually works fine if you are locked on on the enemy. you have to be careful not to press it more than once though, because it won't be cancel-able.
It depends on how it hits you. If it scrapes your side or hits you with the very tip of its attack it obviously does less damage than when it hits you head-on.
aguspal:
I guess the main problem is that the game really needs a controller. I cannot imagine playing it any other way. If you manage to get one, give the game another chance.
The port for PC was really much more like an emulator: you can play the game exactly as it is on consoles on your computer. It is still the best version of the game (specially with the resolution fix), but I understand that it might not be enough from the perspective of a joystickless PC gamer. :)
zinho73:
"Joystickless PC gamer" haha, thats funny now that you said it. Its a bit weird too because I started gaming with a PS1... But I always want to play my PC games with the classic keyboard + Mouse. I just think it has to be that way (Luckily I dont like fighting games/ Hack and Slash games so no problem with those).
Maybeeeee someday I will plug in my joystick for PC and give this game another chance, I guess.
I'm a fan of the keyboard and mouse myself, but I'm beginning to understand that some control schemes on certain games are simply much better with controllers. I guess that's to be expected when we want varied experiences, but takes some getting used to...
lapan:
I think you misunderstood me, for example the harden spell for pyro, it says that it increases your defense etc.. but it does not show up in the stats, and when a buff shows up (like the one on the dragon sword) i didn't see any variations in stat screen either.
The funny part is that i failed dodge his previous attack but i was next to his "arm" not under it, healed up back to full health, after failing another dodge (still full health) he kills me with the same attack animation.
Smertnik
Whatever the case, how does it matter in any way? A difficulty setting is merely an option - it's not like you would have to use it yourself.
Cowpoo
I only played it a couple of times, but from what I've played, it's basically just dodging...and pretty much just dodging with some evasion.
Tried playing it on the PC, but the controls were just shitty as fuck.
I've always wanted to play a more sombre, ambient old school RPG that doesn't try to be Lord of the Rings filmed by Michael Bay.
I guess you mean Ceaseless Discharge. I usually lure him over the cliff because he is very hard to defeat otherwise thanks to his high damage. He oneshots you even with some of the better armors.
MasterOfHisOwnDomain
It completely goes against the whole spirit of the game. The game is about being without any kind of solid assistance (why they opted for no online "co-op mode"), in a world that is mysterious and where you can only rely on your wits. Add an easy mode and you may as well throw in a map, or perhaps a companion.
Agreeded. I too understand this, but even thougt I just KNOW I will have a better experience playing the game with joystick, I just wanna use the good old Keyboard/Mouse.
Again, it helps that I usually avoid the games where the joystick is considerated a must use, such as fighting games and Hack and slash, plus I dont like them so why would I want to play them in the first place, lol. And I guess some racing games, too, except I DO like those and for one occasion I did use a joystick (Flatout 1 and 2, great games)...
But I get the feeling this is getting off topic. Shame because it was a fun conversation, XD.
Smertnik:
I talked a little bit about it on the op.
Part of the sense of accomplishment is doing things in a different way or in a more efficient way than others. Or even doing things that people do not think are even possible, like beating a boss naked.
After beating the game once, this sharing experience with the community goes a long way to give the game longevity and replayability. If it is possible for a player to accomplishing those same things without effort, you lose that watermark, that frame of reference of what'a a challenge and what is not.
Granted, this is a very subjective thing, but that's part of the beauty of this game, it is really not obvious.
I agree that a easy setting in most games is not a problem at all, but, as Epic Name Bro said, the possibility to fail is something really important to the game ethos.
Why some people climb mountains? It is a mix of a personal challenge, the joy of the sport itself and the knowledge that not everyone can do it. That's the Dark Souls experience.
But you can just as well rent a helicopter to take you to the top or let someone carry you up there. That fact does not take away the accomplishment of climbing a mountain by yourself, just as the existence of lower difficulty settings doesn't diminish the "bragging rights" of higher ones.
Also, on a personal note: if the game had an easy mode I would probably have succumbed to it, robbing myself of the true experience of the game.
MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD!
On the very first boss, on the undead asylum, I simply did not understand what I had to do and died numerous times until I finally beat the thing with the hilt sword. I thought to myself: "My god, this game is insanely difficult, this is going to be impossible to play".
My second breaking point was the Capra Demon, which I fought without resins and with an unupgraded weapon. This kind of suffering is crucial to a later part in the game when you see 12 of those guys waiting for you (and you destroy them).
If you do not want to discover those things for yourself, you can always look at youtube to see the tricks to each boss and there you have your easy mode. If you cannot execute the tricks you see on youtube than this is really not the game for you (but a lot of other games would not be either).
I agree. Those shortcuts are already in the game. Most of the bosses have very easy ways to deal with them. In some you do not even risk to get harmed. Not every game need direction arrows and glowing spots.
Seriously, in the videogame world nowadays people are just too used to the mountain coming to them.
DarkTenka
I just have a problem with people complaining that a game "sucks because its too hard". If you cant beat the game then its not the game that sucks, its YOU that sucks! Quitting is for pussies, only if you persist will you know the true feeling of achievement.
rbstewart7263
HEAR HEAR! SIR!. I really wish people would go halfway through the game before trying to decide whether a different difficulty is appropriate.
DarkTenka:
And you know what? I'm one of those pussies. I love fighting games but I'm terrible at them, so I always go to the easy settings first thing.
I'm really happy that such a thing as easy settings exist. I just do not agree that every game needs them. Some games are made to be leisurely enjoyed and some games are made to be conquered.
And I also agree that some games can be a mix of the two. But not all.
Capcha: real mccoy!
The Wykydtron
Hmm, putting aside the sometimes unfair deaths (fuck anyone who says all deaths are fair, I have several examples if anyone wants to test me) later on the difficulty felt kinda samey...
If there is a doorway, there will be one guy ahead of the doorway and two in the blind spots to the side of the doorway. To punish the idiots who rush after the one they can see. This happens extremely often, it just gets boring to be honest. You play the game long enough to read what the game is going to do, which to some people is good but if they are really going for difficulty then wouldn't it make sense to switch up the tricks a tad?
It's still a good game don't get me wrong but I would like the level of trickiness of Sen's Fortress applied to whole game but in smaller doses pretty much.
Also would it kill them to make the story elements somewhat noticeable on your first,second or even third playthrough? No and don't tell me to look at the wiki, if I have to read a wiki to understand the majority of the story and characters you're clearly doing it wrong.
There's having a subtle underlying story then there's having fuck all happen. In fact I wouldn't blame anyone for giving up before the Gargoyles because you have literally no motivation to go through all this shit. Apart from the basic "this shit will not beat me" mentality you may or may not have.
Windcaler
Out of curiousity, would everyone agree with having an easy mode if the current (default regular game not NG+ or NG++) was the easy mode? I would be totally fine with that but Im curious what others would say.
I agree that the game definately doesnt need to be accessible to everyone, at least not in a way that isnt done already. Everyone can play it, everyone can practice against fights and play the same game. There are tons of strategy videos and full walkthroughs/lets plays on youtube. Not to mention 2 very well done wiki's. The only real thing hurting the experience right now IMO is all the PVP twinks
There is something to be said about being able to finish a game that other people cant. I mean I cant for the life of me finish Ninja Gaiden (the original) despite thousands of hours put into it but I take some ammount of pride in the fact that I could finish Dark souls. I could hack it and some gamers cant. Maybe thats a little selfish but no more so then people wanting the game to be easier for them
Krantos
I still say the game should have more save points. If I've already proven I can get passed an area, being forced to go through it again is not going to do anything but raise my blood pressure.
I applaud what Dark Souls is doing, but I think, sometimes, people are holding on to the wrong things.
Furthermore, if you say that Dark Souls is all about the difficulty, and sacrificing that would diminish it, then you can't really praise the story, setting, etc. (not saying you would, just for instance).
The desire for an "easier" mode is rooted in an urge to see that rest of the game without the difficulty. If you claim that shouldn't be done, then you're insinuating that those things are without value. Only the difficulty is noteworthy.
PissOffRoth
This is my main problem with Dark Souls. Information that should be fairly standard and easy to access is completely absent from this game, and we have to resort to guessing and compiling hit-and-miss data on outside wikis. I don't want maps and walkthroughs and that kind of hand-holding, but detailed item stats? Straight-forward answers about faction rewards? This isn't rocket science.
Still, I guess you can't have a perfect game. Maybe the next Souls game will learn even more from user feedback.
The Wykydtron:
I kind of like the WTF is going on thing of the beginning, but I get what you are saying. :)
Even following the story is different in this game (most of it are in the items description) and sparse NPCs dialogue.
I also don't think that the game is perfect and several aspects of it can improve (including difficulty, which could be toned down in a few cases but could also easily be even higher in several spots), but a whole dedicated easy mode is something largely unnecessary.
Krantos:
Imagine a beautiful girl that is pretty hard to get. The difficulty is not the girl - what you want is the girl but the difficulty would make a stolen kiss an even more rewarding accomplishment.
Windcaler:
I think Dark Souls should be one game. It really works beautifully like that. The unifying experience makes the whole "difficult" way more interesting.
daveman247
Looks like you missed some crucial tactics on the first few bosses, making it MUCH harder than it needs to be XD
I remember when my friend showed me demons souls, he thought i was going to be destroyed on the first few levels. What he didnt know was that i play last gen games and further fairly often. So like you siad, my "correct skill set" was fairly well honed XD
Like you said, the games really not that hard, you just have to play it slowly, which i did once i saw how much damage a hit from an enemy takes from you!

Adam Gilchrist on Sydney Test November 1, 2008
Tense Sydney Test prompted retirement - Gilchrist
Cricinfo staff
Adam Gilchrist announced his retirement during the final Test of the series against India in Adelaide soon after going past Mark Boucher to become the wicketkeeper with most Test dismissals © AFP
Adam Gilchrist has said though his problems with wicketkeeping had influenced his decision to retire from international cricket, the controversial Sydney Test against India was the "straw that broke the camel's back".
"I certainly did not retire because my sportsmanship was questioned, and I didn't even decide to retire that week but on top of everything else that had gone on I feel the controversies around the Sydney Test were the straw that broke the camel's back," Gilchrist wrote in his newly published book True Colours. The match had been a tense one with umpiring errors and on-field sledging overshadowing the play. Harbhajan Singh was banned for alleged racial abuse against Andrew Symonds but was let off on appeal, much to the disappointment of the Australians. Gilchrist also criticised Harbhajan's behaviour in his book.
Gilchrist announced his retirement during the final Test of the series in Adelaide soon after going past Mark Boucher to become the keeper with most Test dismissals. But he said in his book that his poor form with the gloves during the series had been playing on his mind for a while.
"I was beginning to resolve finally on pulling out of one-day cricket, but I wasn't quitting Tests," Gilchrist wrote. "I hadn't even asked [my wife] Mel to come to Adelaide. ... We lost the toss and fielded all day, the [Sachin] Tendulkar factory churning out another ton. My concentration wasn't good. Even in the first session I was asking myself: 'Do I really want to just pull out of one-dayers? Should I keep doing both?' The ball was generally hitting me in the heels of my hands rather than palms. No one would have seen it from the outside, but my hands were continually a fraction of a second late. This had been happening for a little while now."
He had dropped three catches during the Sydney Test which he said made him feel he wasn't a genuine keeper. "I was really a batsman who wore gloves."
Gilchrist was known for walking on being dismissed, most memorably during the semi-final of the World Cup in 2003. But he said it made him feel isolated in the Australian team. "... silently accused of betraying the team. Implicitly, I was made to feel selfish, as if I was walking for the sake of my own clean image, thereby making everyone else look dishonest. My action in the 2003 World Cup semi-final had become such a big deal because it held up a mirror to every player... [but] that I walked wasn't a judgment on others."

Fix the points
«Spiky» polyhedron
Self-intersections
Triangular pyramid
Self-intersecting net
Connected net
Albrecht Durer (1471-1528) was a great german painter. He studied theoretical questions of art, in particular, problems of perspective. A part of his book «The art of measurement with a ruler and compasses, plane and spatial bodies», 1525, he devoted to the study of properties of geometrical objects, in particular, polyhedra and their nets.
An net consists of a number of polygons placed without intersections in a single plane and a number of gluing rules of the polygon edges. If some cut of a polyhedron along its edges allows to use a single polygon without breaking the rule of no intersections, such a net is called connected.
On the pages of his book Durer provides different connected nets of sometimes quite complicated polyhedra. It's doubtable that he was thinking of whether a single polygon is always enough, but the following assumption is often called after him. The Durer conjecture tells us that every convex polyhedron has at least one connected net.
Why do we stay interested in polyhedron nets for centuries? The matter is that a net contains the internal geometry of the polyhedron, namely, the information a point-like creature living strictly on the polyhedron may get. This creature may only measure distances between points. Having some mathematical abilities, the creature can also determine angles between directions and compute areas, …
For some purposes using a net is «more comfortable» that using the polyhedron. For example, if you want to send a model of a polyhedron to another town, you need to send a package. But to send a net of a polyhedron it's sufficient to send a construct the convex polyhedron himself. If you think that transportation of polyhedra is a rare operation, you are wrong! The result we see in everyday life when buying a box of milk or juice…
The Durer conjecture is about convex polyhedra. It has neither been proved nor disproved yet. But if the original problem is hard to solve, one should change some conditions and try to solve the resulting problem. In our case it's natural to study the analogue of the conjecture including non-convex polyhedra.
It's easy to build a non-convex polyhedron possibly having non-convex faces that has no connected nets. Take a intersect the star. Thus, the base should be separated from the side faces and the net will not be connected.
It's not so easy to construct a polyhedron with convex faces not having a single connected net. The first example was given only in 1999.
Move from the vertices of a tetrahedron along all the edges to a small common self-intersecting.
After considering a non-convex counterexample return to its original setting: convex polyhedra.
The simplest convex polyhedron is a triangular pyramid: it has 4 vertices and 4 faces. Even in this simplest case there are connected nets. There is still no convex polyhedron constructed having only self-intersecting connected nets.
Recently N.P. Dolbilin has stated a problem about the «anti-Durer» conjecture. It says that for every $k$ there is a convex polyhedron such that every its net placed without intersections on a plane should have at least $k$ pieces.
We should mention that if the Durer conjecture is false, there are two completely different cases.
The bounded case: every convex polyhedron has a net consisting of no more that $K$ pieces. Moreover, the bounding number $K$ can be chosen the same for all the convex polyhedra, i.e. not depending on the particular example.
The other case is more interesting: that the number of pieces is not bounded from above for convex polyhedra.
The «anti-Durer» conjecture says that we are in the unbounded case.
No so far its analogue for non-convex polyhedra (in the unbounded case) has been proved by russian mathematicians.
You may try to construct a convex polyhedron that has only self-intersecting connected nets. Or to prove that such a polyhedron doesn't exist. And if you succeed, you will add a new vivid page to geometry.

What is the net of a polyhedron? – May you ask. It is simply a sheet of cardboard whose folding gives the polyhedron. This is true, but there’s more. The concept of the net of a polyhedron contains something more than just a sheet of cardboard.
There is a whole variety of nets for the most usual polyhedra.

How many distinct cube nets exist? It’s interesting that any of them can be used to parquet your room.

[Interview] Sam Raimi, Robert Tapert and Bruce Campbell On “Ash vs Evil Dead”!

From left to right: Executive producer Robert Tapert, star of the series and executive producer Bruce Campbell along with executive producer Sam Raimi, original filmmakers of the EVIL DEAD franchise, start production on the TV series “Ash vs Evil Dead” which will premiere this fall on Starz - © 2015 Starz Entertainment, LLC
Info from bloody-disgusting.com:
This morning Starz announced the start of production on “Ash vs Evil Dead”, a new television series based on Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead franchise.
And while the full details can be found here, Bloody Disgusting joined a roundtable – with Raimi, Robert Tapert and Bruce Campbell – to discuss the inagural 10-episode season that brings Campbell back as the beloved Ashley J. Williams, the aging lothario and chainsaw-handed monster hunter who has spent the last 30 years avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of the Evil Dead. When a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of mankind, Ash is finally forced to face his demons – personal and literal.
“Ash is going to making friends and enemies on this show,” teased Raimi.
Tapert went into detail: “This incarnation has a team that forms around him, Pablo [Simon Bolivar (Ray Santiago)], a young immigrant who wants to be part of the American fabric and forget his roots – and through his encounters with Ash discovers what’s important to him.
“Kelly Maxwell (Dana DeLorenzo) is Pablo’s love interest,” he adds. “At first [she] doesn’t believe in Ash and wants nothing to do with him, but eventually becomes part of the team. They go about realizing there is something greater at play than a series of Evil Dead-like attacks.”
He continues: “[They are] joined by Jill Marie Jones [who] plays Amanda Fisher, a police officer who sees something that she doesn’t believe. [This] causes her great problems in her profession. She is on the trail to hunt down Ash because she believes he is responsible for the series of bodies [she finds] as a Michigan State Police Detective. She teams with Ruby (Lucy Lawless), [who] knows something about the Evil Dead and is also on hunt for Ash.”
The episodes will be 30-minutes long, which came as a surprise. Raimi expressed his excitement about this as it allows them to push the pacing up a notch.
“I really appreciate that Starz let us keep the half-hour idea,” said Raimi. “It’s really cool to me [because] we could really fire on a cylinders, be outrageous and fast-paced and nonstop without a lot of secondary character expositions.” There’s literally no padding, he says.

The Roles That Got Away with Bruce Campbell | Nerdist
Bruce “The Chin” Campbell has been a staple of nerd culture for as long as most of us can remember. Since breaking through with his longtime friend and collaborator Sam Raimi when he created horror icon Ash in the original Evil Dead, he’s gifted us with his style and good humor in projects ranging from the masterful Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness to cult favorites like The Hudsucker Proxy and Bubba Ho-Tep to television hits Xena: Warrior Princess and Burn Notice, on which he starred for seven seasons as unflappable former Navy SEAL Sam Axe. Campbell’s also appeared in perhaps the funniest Old Spice TV commercials ever made and offered unforgettable cameos in all three of Raimi’s blockbuster Spider-Man movies… But what of the roles that got away? In this exclusive Nerdist Presents video, the one and only Chin reflects on what might have been in his own inimitable fashion.

Excerpt One - Discussion of Ash vs Evil Dead begins @ the 19:55 mark:
Ricky Camilleri: Talk to me about Ash vs. Evil Dead. I'm a huge Evil Dead fan.
Lucy Lawless: Uh huh.
Ricky Camilleri: So what does this show entail?
Lucy Lawless: Well, I call it a jolly old splatterfest, though I've not read, all the, you know, script, so I can't... I'm giving you broad stokes here, where we revisit Ash, as a 50 something year old man, who's still working at, you know, some loser pharmacy or something. And uhm, oh, I didn't say that. Not a good pharmacy, like all ones you have in America. This is, you know, a lame pharmacy, in a another country. Uhm so.
Ricky Camilleri: You quantify pharmacy.
Lucy Lawless: Yeah, okay anyway, he's working in a uh sort of, still in his no end, dead end job. And, uhm, and I'm going to be the character in the movie who tortures him, mercilessly.
Ricky Camilleri: You get to torture Bruce Campbell?
Lucy Lawless: Yeah, 'cause if you think about it, the Evil Dead movies and the Army of Darkness, uh, they were all about torturing Bruce, as a character.
Ricky Camilleri: Oh yeah.
Lucy Lawless: And I feel there is nobody, but a little sister like me, who knows to get under a big brother's skin.
Ricky Camilleri: Have you started shooting?
Lucy Lawless: They start this week. I'm still shooting Salem, uhm, in Louisiana and I will join them next month.
Ricky Camilleri: Are you excited. Have you... Do you know Bruce?
Lucy Lawless: Yeah!
Ricky Camilleri: Have you met him before?
Lucy Lawless: I've known Bruce for 20 years.
Ricky Camilleri: Really?
Lucy Lawless: So Sam Raimi is directing it, the original director, the original star.
Ricky Camilleri: Wow.
Lucy Lawless: Rob, my husband, was one of the producers, he's doing... We got the band back together. It's going to be great.
Ricky Camilleri: That's amazing. I can't wait see this. Where, what, what network is it airing on?
Lucy Lawless: Starz.
Ricky Camilleri: It's on Starz?
Lucy Lawless: Yeah.
Ricky Camilleri: Oh, this sounds fantastic.
Excerpt Two - Discussion of Ash vs Evil Dead begins @ the 25:16 mark:
Ricky Camilleri: Will your character on Ash vs. Evil Dead be someone, that would be, say the show runs for a couple of seasons, three seasons, would your character end up being on that for the duration?
Lucy Lawless: Yeah I've signed on for the duration.
Ricky Camilleri: So that's interesting. When was the last time you signed on for, uh, the duration, rather than just a short arc? Is this the first time in a while?
Lucy Lawless: Yeah, a really long time. It was, it's taken me a long time to find a show or a bunch of people that I would, uh, to line up, you know, my availability, with their desire, with our mutual liking. Because it's kind of like a marriage.
Ricky Camilleri: Yeah
Lucy Lawless: So you don't want to get in bed with people that you don't, uh, think will respect you in the morning. Or vice versa. You know got to really love...
Ricky Camilleri: Or it's going to be silence in the morning.
Lucy Lawless: And had Ash vs Evil Dead not come up, I would have signed on with Salem, cause I have a great deal of respect for them. There such a fine bunch of human beings.
Bob Murawski on the key to good editing
Editor Bob Murawski (1964) talks about the part of an editor in the movie making process and the key to good editing, his collaboration with Sam Raimi, the interference of the film studio's and actors. "When I'm editing it's more about trying to figure out when not to cut than when to cut".
Bob Murawski was a guest at the Imagine Film Festival in Amsterdam 2015 to give a Masterclass editing. Murawski is best known for his work with Sam Raimi, from Army of Darkness (1992), via the Spiderman trilogy to Oz the Great and the Powerful (2013). Together with his wife, editor Chris Innis, he won an Oscar for his work on The Hurt Locker (2008).

Space Goat Productions Expands The Evil Dead Universe In August
The Evil Dead Universe expands in August with Space Goat Publishing’s Evil Dead 2: Tales of the Ex-Mortis #1.
The new anthology mini-series will feature original stories set in the ED2U from Jeff Mariotte & Marsheila Rockwell, Ivan Cohen, Justin Peniston, Georgia Ball and Frank Hannah, the writer of Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn.
The new mini-series focuses on the open-ended questions from the movie Evil Dead 2.
“The ED2U is a rich, untapped place that spans back to the darkest beginnings of human history,” said SGP CEO Shon Bury.
“The Ex-Mortis disappeared in the 13th Century, and we didn’t see it again until Ash turned on the tape recorder. That’s a big gap in time that’s packed with demons, Deadites, Kandarian history, and reanimated hands.”

Interview With “The Evil Dead” FX Master Tom Sullivan - iHorror
Thirty-three years ago a small independent picture hit theaters and changed the history of horror cinema forever. The movie was called “The Evil Dead” and like it or not, it would become one of the most influential horror movies to ever grace the silver screen. Tom Sullivan, was in charge of the special make-up effects for the movie, and a legacy was born. Sullivan also worked on “Evil Dead 2″, “Army of Darkness” and “The Fly 2″, but his original work on the movie “The Evil Dead” is a testament to the art of special effects.

Lucy Lawless Talks About Salem, Mementos And Her First Evil Dead Experience
Interview Excerpts:
Q. Who are you playing in the Evil Dead show?
A. I'm in what Meryl Streep calls the "witchy-poo" phase of life, going straight from this very high-end drama in the horror genre to splatter comedy. I'm playing Ruby, who will no doubt be revealed as a bit of a crazy woman. She's stuck on Bruce Campbell for one reason or another — she wants to bring him to justice, but we'll see whether her motives are pure or not. Or if she's just bonkers.
Q. Were you an Evil Dead fan before meeting Rob?
A. No, I was disgusted by it. When I was 17, my very first boyfriend and I went to his friend's house and we were going to watch this "great" movie called Evil Dead. And when the tree starts to brutalize the young woman in the first five minutes, I got up and left. I was furious: "Whoever the filmmakers were are complete misogynists and they're sick!" I was full of young woman angst. Cut to 10 years later and I'm married to the guy.

Future of Music Coalition Testimony in Copyright Principles Hearing
On Thursday, May 16, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Competition Policy and the Internet held a hearing entitled “A Case Study for Consensus Building: The Copyright Principles Project.”
Witnesses included Pamela Samuelson (University of California at Berkeley Law School); Jon Baumgarten (former General Counsel of the U.S. Copyright Office); Laura Gasaway (University of North Carolina Law School); Daniel Gervais (Vanderbilt Law School Intellectual Property Program); and Jule Sigall (Assistant General Counsel for Copyright at Microsoft). All of the panelists contributed to the Copyright Principles Project and its 2010 report [PDF].
Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) called the hearing as his first effort in a broader inquiry to examine specific aspects of current copyright law.
FMC’s written testimony, which was submitted to the Committee for the official record, makes the basic point that creators must be included in future hearings, as their perspectives will help inform any apparaisal of the impact of existing (or proposed) rules.
We also tee up some issues that the Committee might consider looking at in future hearings — from “orphan works” to licensing and artist leverage to voluntary copyright registries to “parity” in broadcasting. These aspects of copyright law (and others) will continue to have an impact on the entire music ecosystem. Musicians are major stakeholders here, and their views must be taken into account.
One way to do so is by using data to inform the policymaking process. Quantitiative information about the musician experience has been, for many years, difficult to come by. That’s why, In 2010, FMC launched Artist Revenue Streams – a multi-method, cross-genre examination of whether and how musicians’ revenue streams are changing in this new music landscape. Our testimony makes plain the need to consider artist-focused data in any evidence-gathering about copyright, technology and the music marketplace.
What do YOU think Congress should be considering in its review of copyright law? Tell us in the comments.

Copy right law still seems inactive to me. I am a musician and I am scared of making my carrier in music. There is little or no scope of making money!

Mind Game
"A virtuoso narrative loop-the-loop that travels through a phantasmagoric catalog of animation styles, Mind Game is […] one of the most fantastically experimental anime features seen stateside." – Ed Halter, Village Voice
For all the anime masters you’ve heard of, Masaaki Yuasa is the one you probably haven’t. His directorial vision - inspired by everyone from Tex Avery to René Laloux - is distinct in its fluidity and surreal nature, creating shows like Kemonozume, The Tatami Galaxy, and most recently Devilman Crybaby. With the release of his two new films, Lu Over the Wall and The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl, this year, his first and most insanely ambitious feature returns to theaters after over a decade. That film is Mind Game. Flirting with an abundance of styles to tell one story - that of a loser who gets killed by two yakuza because of a crush on his childhood girlfriend, prompting a psychedelic journey of self-discovery when he goes to heaven and back - Yuasa brings everything and more to the table. Mind Game indulges in the goofiness and malleability of animated filmmaking, building up a funhouse of kaleidoscopic visual tricks. This is a movie that blends digital animation with rotoscoping, watercolors, sketches, and CGI as effortlessly as it navigates the genres it bounces through.

Tags: oral hygiene celebrity smiles
Everyone knows that in the game of football, quarterbacks are looked up to as team leaders. That's why we're so pleased to see some NFL QB's setting great examples of… wait for it… excellent oral hygiene.
First, at the 2016 season opener against the Broncos, Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers was spotted on the bench; in his hands was a strand of dental floss. In between plays, the 2105 MVP was observed giving his hard-to-reach tooth surfaces a good cleaning with the floss.
Later, Buffalo Bills QB Tyrod Taylor was seen on the sideline of a game against the 49ers — with a bottle of mouthwash. Taylor took a swig, swished it around his mouth for a minute, and spit it out. Was he trying to make his breath fresher in the huddle when he called out plays?
Maybe… but in fact, a good mouthrinse can be much more than a short-lived breath freshener.
Cosmetic rinses can leave your breath with a minty taste or pleasant smell — but the sensation is only temporary. And while there's nothing wrong with having good-smelling breath, using a cosmetic mouthwash doesn't improve your oral hygiene — in fact, it can actually mask odors that may indicate a problem, such as tooth decay or gum disease.
Using a therapeutic mouthrinse, however, can actually enhance your oral health. Many commonly available therapeutic rinses contain anti-cariogenic (cavity-fighting) ingredients, such as fluoride; these can help prevent tooth decay and cavity formation by strengthening tooth enamel. Others contain antibacterial ingredients; these can help control the harmful oral bacteria found in plaque — the sticky film that can build up on your teeth in between cleanings. Some antibacterial mouthrinses are available over-the-counter, while others are prescription-only. When used along with brushing and flossing, they can reduce gum disease (gingivitis) and promote good oral health.
So why did Taylor rinse? His coach Rex Ryan later explained that he was cleaning out his mouth after a hard hit, which may have caused some bleeding. Ryan also noted, “He [Taylor] does have the best smelling breath in the league for any quarterback.” The coach didn't explain how he knows that — but never mind. The takeaway is that a cosmetic rinse may be OK for a quick fix — but when it comes to good oral hygiene, using a therapeutic mouthrinse as a part of your daily routine (along with flossing and brushing) can really step up your game.
If you would like more information about mouthrinses and oral hygiene, contact us or schedule a consultation.

Development of new household care products for customers in urban areas is likely to bolster the market demand. The superior functionality and convenience offered by detergent pods over its liquid and powder counterparts can augur well for pod manufacturers. In addition, the inclusion of sweet-smelling fragrances in formulations is likely to drive market growth.

Watch Online NASA Launching New Satellite: LDCM/Landsat 8
Today, February 11, the next Landsat (LDCM/Landsat 8 http://ldcm.nasa.gov) will be launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base at 1802-1850 GMT .
The launch of LDCM is scheduled for just over 90 minutes.Click the following link to watch NASA HD stream of LDCM launch.
Click it here: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/ustream.html
If you are interested in watching it will be streamed on NASA Internet TV (see http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/schedule.html). Also see at http://www.spaceflightnow.com/tracking/ for space flights information.
“The data from Landsat spacecraft constitute the longest record of the Earth's continental surfaces as seen from space. With the launch of the LDCM on Monday, February 11, the record will be continued and enhanced, providing data intrinsic to our geographic and Earth system science research. Since 1972,
the U.S. Landsat Program has launched seven satellites, six of which have advanced and shaped research in all areas of Earth science. The consistency, longevity, and extent of the Landsat record remains unmatched (let us hope that LDCM launch is successful and that the data record continues).” one of the co-chairs of the Landsat Science team says.

Give Me My Remote > #1 featured > BREAKING NEWS! Ellen DeGeneres Leaving AMERICAN IDOL
BREAKING NEWS! Ellen DeGeneres Leaving AMERICAN IDOL
It has just been announced that Ellen DeGeneres won’t be returning to AMERICAN IDOL for a second season.
This surprising news comes on the heels of recent reports of a shake-up at IDOL.
In a statement from DeGeneres, she says: “A couple months ago, I let FOX and the AMERICAN IDOL producers know that this didn’t feel like the right fit for me. I told them I wouldn’t leave them in a bind and that I would hold off on doing anything until they were able to figure out where they wanted to take the panel next. It was a difficult decision to make, but my work schedule became more than I bargained for. I also realized this season that while I love discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings. I loved the experience working on IDOL and I am very grateful for the year I had. I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be.”
Fox and IDOL execs supported Ellen’s decision through effusive statements praising the humor and warmth she brought to the show.
With the departure of Simon Cowell, IDOL is at a bit of a crossroads. Declining ratings and an increasingly stale format meant something had to give. Maybe that something was Ellen. But don’t expect her absence to be the only change. It was announced this week that the show’s original co-creator, Nigel Lythgoe, will be returning to IDOL as an executive producer in an attempt to get things back on track.
Randy Jackson reportedly has one more year left on his contract, but Kara…not so much.
Will IDOL clean house and find new judges? While I think some fresh critiques could benefit the show, I think there are other areas of concern. IDOL has become increasingly dated. If nothing else, look at the finale which featured the Bee Gees, Michael McDonald and Chicago. Oy!
What do you think of Ellen’s departure? Will you miss her? Would you like to see Randy and Kara back or would the show be better without them? Weigh in below.

The last thought which shall engage my attention in this casual survey of this distinguished gentleman shall be that of “Patriot,” and that splendid loyalty which he bore to his country—as his country!
It may have been, gentlemen of Illinois, that he must forego the hope of political elevation; it may be that he bade good-bye to those flattering huzzas that come from an admiring multitude; it may be that he kissed farewell to many ambitions and opportunities that his heart cherished and his soul desired, for the good of his country, and his sincerity as a patriot.
Here was a man big enough to realize that while there could be personal defeat for him, through such defeat there could be victory for that which was beyond and superior to him—his country!
His was the creed of the dictator of Tripoli: “My country! May she be right; But, right or wrong, my country!”
Oh, how well he upheld the Constitution! He saw the prospect of war, and he realized what it meant to this Union. He did all he could to avert it. Indoors and out, he spoke of its possibilities. In public places and in private chambers, he inveighed against those who sought to bring on disaster. With every expression of his life, he cried for peace and justice, but when the hour came that was inevitable, in his vision he saw two great things, the fleets mowed down, desolation in the cities, the tramp of soldiery breaking upon the ear, mothers hugging their babes to their bosoms, baptizing their faces to the falling tears, as the first born had fallen upon the hills.
He realized it was war! There was but one place for him, and that was the Temple of the Republic. There he hastened, in great anxiety for his country.
He was a citizen of Illinois! He was the compatriot of Lincoln! He was the devoted son of the Constitution, and it was in that hour that the splendor of his character rose above every form of hostile accusation.
Still we behold him, to-night, in the retrospect, sweet and gentle with it all!
Gentlemen, I can possibly appreciate more fully the situation than many of you who honor me with your audience.
I recognize that with these distinguished speakers who preceded me, we accord to all men to-night that which they did, and that which they said, came from the heart that beat within them, came from the soul of duty, as it was defined by every impulse of patriotism!
I come from that borderland, where on a thousand hills a mother kissed her two sons goodbye, and sent them off with her tears upon their cheeks, one to die for his country, the other to fall for his home!
Blessed be he that speaketh from his heart! To-night we pray for all, in common, and pray they rest in heaven together. I therefore speak of them as one who speaks of the common country preserved. I delight to-night to feel that the sons of those who battled together are once again reunited.

Tribute To Ella: Jazzmeia Horn
Jazzmeia Horn
Monday October 23, 2017
From The San Diego County News
San Diego’s Copley Symphony Hall Will Host All-Star Line-Up of Jazz Artists in Tribute to Ella Fitzgerald
By: Danny R. Johnson
It’s All About the Meaning of Lyrics
Ms. Jazzmeia Horn, the other headliner slated to perform at the Ms. Fitzgerald tribute, has been on the jazz scene professionally for the last three years and is rapidly ascending the heights of jazz notoriety. Her critically acclaimed album ‘A Social Call’ (Concord Records) debuted in May with great reviews.
In an interview with San Diego County News conducted earlier this year, Ms. Horn stressed how her discovery of Ms. Fitzgerald’s songbook collections opened her eyes to a completely new way of interpreting lyrics of a song.
‘I noticed that Ella’s ventures into the song books pointed up a flaw that had not been noticeable when she was singing routine pop songs. Her vocal range and virtuosity and her rhythmic drive had always been the primary focus of her performances. Lyrics often seemed to her unavoidable, another form of scat syllables to be bent and twisted for rhythmic or harmonic effect without regard to their meaning. When she approached the urbane and witty lyrics of Cole Porter, Lorenz Hart and Ira Gershwin, she sometimes gave the impression she did not understand them,’ explained Ms. Horn.
Ms. Horn is correct in her assessment of Ms. Fitzgerald’s early approach to the songbook projects. She learned to manage in her own ingenuous way, to bring the lyrics into proper focus, making the show tunes as typical of Ms. Ella Fitzgerald as her classic scat treatment of ‘How High the Moon’ or her lilting ‘A-Tisket, A-Tasket.’

You Are Here: Maps & Charts > Bermuda > Bermuda: Great Sound
Map/Chart > Bermuda
A previously unpublished survey by surveyor and artist P. Parker
Chart Information
Hydrographer/Surveyor/Artist: P. Parker
Size Of Original: w 13.5" x h 17"
Paper Type Hahnemuhle German Etching 310gsm
This beautifully presented survey of Great Sound in Bermuda, made by P. Parker, complements the one of the north coast of Pembroke from Spanish Point to Bailys Bay (see A606). Both surveys were completed by Parker within days of each other. This survey includes the hand-written inscription; 'The outlines from Lempriere's Chart, published 1810. The soundings in Stag Passage are at high water. Those in Great Sound low water. June 3rd 1823'.
The survey includes a beautiful water-colour inset of a ship in distress off the treacherous reefs which surround the island and which accounted for the loss of over 20 ships since the Islands were first discovered and is a salient reminder of the perils facing any seamen choosing to sail these waters. The stern of the ship bears the author's name 'P. Parker 1823'.
The survey is very detailed but restricts itself to the soundings of specific channels through Great Sound. Included in the hydrographic information are the position of a ship wreck in the Sound, sand and shell banks, rocks, slag, and moorings. Ships are marked at anchor in couple of places including Bosies Cove on Spanish Point. Although there is very little cartographic detail included in the survey, individual buildings around the coast and on the islands, presumably of strategic importance, are shown. These include the naval dockyard, mast house, naval hospital, bridges and a jetty on Ireland Island along with individual buildings around Spanish Point and on Tuckers Island.
Rear Admiral Sir William Charles Fahie was in command of the British naval force on the Island at the time this survey was produced. He had taken up his post in 1821 and his flagship HMS Salisbury was Commanded by Captain William Maude who, according to a handwritten note on the back of the original document, received this survey from Parker on the 2nd January 1824 - a full eight months after its completion. The reason for this delay may well be because, as the Montreal Herald of Wednesday August 13, 1823 reported; HMS Salisbury, Captain Maude and Sir William Fahie (along with his new wife) had arrived in Quebec on Sunday the 10th August 1823. Despite the near certainty that the vessel marked as being at anchor off the naval dockyard is HMS Salisbury (see A606) it is possible that Parker was unable to present the surveys before Captain Maude and HMS Salisbury had left for Canada.
The reference to the use of Lampriere's chart of 1810 is important as it places that chart as the definitive source of cartographic information about the Islands as late as 1823. Thomas Hurd's more exacting and accurate chart of 1788-1797 (see A603a & A603b) was not published at the time by the Admiralty, although it was eventually reduced, copied and issued in a reduced form (see A607), in October 1827. Sadly, nothing more is yet known of the author and artist of this beautiful survey.

Speaking Your Truth
And living your own reality.
By Kawiria On Sep 4, 2017 1,030 0
Wow, it’s been a pretty good while since I wrote and I’ve been wondering where to start. I have not been in the mood to write lately. Like every time I have an idea of what I want to write about and I start it off, I find myself continuously pressing the backspace button and we’re back to nothing. A blank mind. A blank canvas.
My favorite spot on the couch.
I realized that when you’re in this creative space, it’s so difficult to separate your feelings and your imagination. It’s like one influences the other and the more you try to compartmentalize the two into separate boxes in your mind, the more you feel like you’re not being genuine with yourself and with others. And the reason we create is to express ourselves in our truest form. At least that’s why I do it and it’s flows very naturally. Sometimes I am so brutally honest about my feelings and my thoughts, that I only think about what I have said/written after I have said/written it and sometimes it’s after the damage is done.
Then today, I watched this Ted Talk video by Ory Okolloh. I stumbled upon it when I was scrolling down my Twitter timeline. I happen to be quite fond of her online persona for some reason, though I don’t know her in real life. So, I clicked on it to watch why she became an activist. I feel like I’ve watched it before, but this time the message was somewhat louder. She was speaking to the people bickering in the backseat i.e. Me.
She uses her personal stories to highlight the different issues that Africans are facing while in Africa of course. I love the simplicity in which she shares her stories, because I could literally relate to everything that she was talking about because it’s our truth. From issues of poverty, corruption, diseases, lack of access to resources, and so on. Those are the things that we without privilege go through and fight for every single day. And her passion for changing the narrative is so profound.
I mean, if you’ve seen her in her element, doing what she does in both small and big ways. Whether it’s highlighting the wrongs in the society, questioning the irregularities and in such an intelligent and aggressive way that she cannot be ignored; or it’s creating platforms that will enable us to right these wrongs or finding practical and working solutions to the problems we face as a country/continent. How profound?!
Her vision is that an African child born today, can be whoever they want to be here, without having to leave. And they can have the possibility of transcending the circumstances in which they were born.
Today she has inspired me to break out of the cocoon that I had retreated to. I was feeling like I am washed out, and I still do. It’s not like it this feeling has disappeared in thin air. But after watching the video, I just thought that most of the time you may think that your life is nothing, or that it’s just so ordinary or mundane and there’s nothing really to write home about. But sometimes, it’s in the ordinariness of it that we find the extra and it’s from that extra that we continue to be and continue to do. That we create the influence necessary to make another life better and another life worth living. So,
Speak your truth, at least when you have the chance to. Don’t feel the need to ever exaggerate it or devalue it. Because when the truth becomes obscured by the mind’s discernment, your reality becomes hazy.
Wishing you a beautiful week ahead and may September be good to you.
Stay Inspired,

The End of Sorrow, The Story
Sara whispers into his ear. Her voice touches into him. Sam wonders why he should deserve such a gift. In the late August summer, the two finish building their house in the forest. In their gazes, in their walks together, in their long talks on the road, the two fall forever into each other. It is at this hopeful point, amid the fir trees where the music begins.
Chapter 1: The Dream
The crickets sing their August song and the stream rushes along through the open window. A gentle midnight breeze ruffles the curtains just slightly. Sam and Sara sleep side by side. Sam begins to dream. He sits in a vast and dark cathedral on his knees and praying. The air is damp and heavy. He wants to look up and beyond the hard benches but his eyes seem locked down on the ground staring at the heavy dark stones. There are words he cannot make out, there is singing in front of him. Finally he looks to the front and sees three cloaked monks with long rosaries wrapped around their wrists swaying in the darkness. They sing to him, calling out his name.
“Sam, I wish we could tell you what we have seen. Be weary of the world; it comes in colors darker than these.”
Sam feels that the words are his own. He is filled with fear and he looks anywhere for a way out. But he is trapped and listens in tears to the story they sing.
Chapter 2: Moonlight
“Don’t you worry about this.” Sam sings to Sara, brushing her dark hair from her eyes. He has told her of his dream and she is deeply worried, she sees it as a premonition, a vision. Sam tells her he has enough worry for the both of them. It is at this moment that two paths appear before them. They see down one lane, a life of happiness and peace together, a life of love. Down the other path they see the possibility of losing each other in the darkness of the forest ahead. Sam sings in fear and knowing,
“There’s stars in the sky and I’d like to stay there in your eyes.
But always, morning will come.”
In the final chorus Sam recants this vision and suggests an alternative. Sam sings: “No storm ever could break us up, but we might never see land again.” He knows that an ocean journey is the only alternative to the fears of land but he cannot bear the thought of the cold dark waves.
Chapter 3: Into the Daisies
Sam and Sara spend the afternoon in a great field of daisies not far from their house. The mountains are touched with the last patches of snow in the distance. The days are growing just a little shorter with each sunset. On this warm afternoon the two sit together and make daisy chains. Sara's hair is dark and velvet in the yellow light. In this frozen moment, Sam realizes how much he misses her. He has always missed her. Even when he first met her, he missed her. Their time is running out and it moves faster with each second. He battles against this relentless worry:
“The chains on our necks, are made of daisy flowers. And we’re spending our days, we’re only meant for hours. All of this will go and then we’ll go, so you stay here with me. This is my only way to say, I wanna take your bones with me into my grave.”
This song closes with Sam and Sara both singing, “Come on now let’s forget. Worry’s for the faithless. So come on now let’s forget I said anything.”
Chapter 4: Bardo
Late in the Fall, on the last warm day of the year, the two walk along the cliffs above the sea. Sam could see the distant waves shining in her eyes. Though he was holding her hand, Sara lost her grip in the grass and fell. The fall was long. It was quiet. Later, Sam remembered how quiet that moment was.
The bardo is the space between this life and the next. It is an unrecognizable landscape of ripping emotions. Sara and Sam both pass through a bardo, yet for the first time, they move separately. We hear the wrathful beings trying to inspire the fear that cracks open and dissolves into nothing. Sam is left behind in a bardo of his own, holding her empty body at the bottom near the shore of the sea.
Chapter 5: The Setting Sun
In confusion and terror, Sam carries the body on horseback to the sea. He carries her down to the sand. HA blanket covers her while he prays over her body. He pleads with God to let her rise. “Come off the sand with angel’s wings.” We hear in reverse and we hear the muted voices calling response in low tones “Cold body won’t rise.” There is a pause, as the music retreats, a realization dawns on Sam that he has lost his love. The drums, bass, and Sam’s cries return all at once and spit meaningless words at the ocean. A chorus behind sings, “All love fades.” Finally the drums and voices drop into silence we hear Sam call “as you breathe, love fades out, breath.” We hear him walking her body into the waves, finally he falls and goes under the waves, wishing for death to come to him too.
Chapter 6: The Daughters of Waves
Sam drops down and into the valley of sorrow. He is trapped in longing and disbelief. He did not die in the sea. He has pulled himself up onto the sand and watches the waves come and retreat back into the sea. There is nothing he can do now to stop the flood of wishing. Still, hope survives in Sam. He sings, “Why can’t I stay with you? Because the setting sun has died and I know, no no. But I wanna stay with you because the setting sun was your eyes and I know you’ll rise.” “And now I miss you, forever like I will do.” The final plea of hope lies in the words Sam speaks to the ocean, “I know you hear me even if you’re quiet.”
The song ends in a reverie of memory. Sam and Sara dancing together like she always loved. But Sam is not lost in the memory completely for he says, “But you can’t see these waves/coming/coming.”
Chapter 7: Let You Go
Night is falling while Sam walks through the dark forest, wandering. On his way he falls into a vision and sits down in the wet November leaves. He imagines still holding Sara, singing to her, “No my love I can’t let you go. Say you’re gone and you’ll never come back, and I will go. Say your eyes will stay that way, closed.” Since Sara says nothing, Sam is convinced she will return to him.
Chapter 8: McKenzie
Sam collapses by a river’s edge. He remembers this river from his childhood. He used to swim and play in it as a boy. Now it looks so different, so deep and cold. The water runs gray and swiftly. Sam sees his sunken face in the water, he sees his meaningless life in the water. He imagines what it would be like to slip into the water and never come out. But he fears death as much as he fears life. His mind is transported to the ocean again, he sees a lighthouse turning smoothly casting a yellow light out into the dark sea. From high above, sees small boats heading out to sea and watches them crash on the sharp black rocks. He hears their screams in the water. He finally lays on his back and another vision descends upon him. This time he sees a tunnel, passing through with other souls who have died and moved on. “Tunnel, coming. All I’ve waited for.” This break in the darkness, this small shift in his mind reminds him of what Sara told him once. The song closes with her words echoing in his mind, “Emptiness cannot harm emptiness.” Where there is no self, there cannot be harm.
Chapter 9: Heaven
Sam has wandered the forests and wandered the grasslands and has found himself near the ocean again. He smells the winter ocean air but cannot yet see the ocean. He finds himself in tears almost all the time. He knows he must eventually let go of this pain but he fears he cannot. He fears losing everything he once loved. He would still rather hold to Sara as a memory than let her go. He swings between letting go and holding tightly to this memory. He senses that Sara has passed well beyond the Bardo by now. He can feel her slipping away entirely. He sings out to the sky, “Don’t you, go where, I can’t, follow you, follow you.” The song then ends in a glimpse of memory, hazy now and beginning to wash away.
Chapter 10: Losing
At the bottom of the canyon of sorrow. Sam finally touches the base of his himself. He knows he will love Sara forever and he also knows he must let go. He walks along mossy green cliffs on a gray winter day. Sam laments how he had ever looked at things when the two were together. He had stared at the sky, at beautiful things that passed by. Now he just wishes he had once more look in Sara’s eyes. “I give you all my sky, I leave you with my eyes. ‘Cuz I won’t need ‘em anymore, better for you where you are.” In a moment of complete and terrible sorrow Sam let’s go of Sara’s hand in his heart. The song closes with the lines repeating over and over, “I’ll love you forever, oh. I’ll love you forever, oh.”
Chapter 11: There is no Prison
Sam has begun the experience of letting go. He is exhausted and lays down in the long brown grass. He dreams. He sees a river in his dream, a wide and sunny river leading up to an edge and he cannot see to where it leads below. He hears voices in his head, whispers inside of himself. “There is no prison. There are no walls. You are dreaming. You are dreaming.” Sam wakes and it is true. He glimpses the nature of his new world.
Chapter 12: At The Ocean
Now Sam walks in a kind of daze, seeing very clearly all his misery for what it was; a kind of dream that now feels somewhat distant from him. He has no idea who he is anymore or where he is going. His steps feel lucky and very surprising. He stops every so often to examine the ground and the little insects around him. The world is so alive and free. He thinks, “Has this all been happening while I was away? Eventually he finds himself walking down the grassy dunes and he feels a small wave brush against his foot. He has lost his shoes along the way and his clothes are tattered. He feels a distant memory welling inside of him. He sees dark eyes, dark hair, a beautiful smile. He loved someone once, he loved this girl. Sara, the name returns to him. But it is not longing that fills his heart now, it is gratitude.
Chapter 13: The Fall
Sam follows his feet as they lead him away from the sea and back up to the cliffs. He does not need to understand anymore. He just moves along like a gentle breeze. The air is crisp and the sun shines on his shoulders through the holes in his shirt. He walks for many days out and into the mountains. He finally makes a mountain cave his home. He builds a small garden and lives there for months. The Spring comes and the Summer too.
That summer, on a warm day, he walks to the river nearby to gather water as he does every day. But this day something surprises him. He looks into the water and sees his face again. He sees his eyes sullen and his cheeks sunk in like he saw by the cold dark McKenzie river so long ago. He feels sorrow welling up inside of him again. He suffers a thousand knives in the heart. It all returns. His chest aches in empty howling.
Without any will of his own, he topples into the water. He turns over and onto his back. When he finally opens his eyes, he notices the blue sky and the white clouds floating along. He too floats along the water. He hears a rushing coming. He knows this fall. He has seen it many times. It is more than a thousand feet to the rocky pool below. But he does not feel fear. He is reminded by the sky and clouds above that he has nothing to fear. All things are changing their shapes. The water reaches out for the sea. The rushing sound becomes deafening. Sam’s eyes are open and some say a very faint smile touched his lips just before he tumbled over the edge.
Chapter 14: A Hymn to the Sea
The open vastness. There is no screaming. No whispering. No more words. Not even silence. Where the waves spread out along the horizon. No one sings this song and no one is there to hear it. It is the music of the sea herself. It is sung for no one at all.

About the album
This album has roots in my early years of visiting the observatory in Sunriver, Oregon with my Dad. Looking through the telescopes and seeing the moons of Jupiter with my own eyes had a profound effect on my understanding of who and where I was. It slowly came to me that it would actually be possible to stand on those moons. The ice on Europa is real; it would hold you up. And if stood there and looked up, the sky would be filled with the swirling storms of Jupiter's upper clouds. The planet would be surrounded by blackness.
Though these thoughts inspire awe, they begin to chill your bones as you move farther away from the sun. Temperatures plunge. There is no air to breathe. Radiation is immense. Standing upon Neptune's moon Triton, the sun would begin to resemble the rest of the stars as you faded into the nothing.
Voyager two took one of the only clear images we have of Neptune. I don't believe we were meant to see that kind of image. Unaided our eyes are only prepared to see the sun, the moon, and the stars. Looking into the blue clouds of the last planet you cannot help but think of the black halo of space that surrounds the planet and extends forever.
I cannot un-see those images. They have become a part of human consciousness. They are the dawn of an unnamed religion. They are more powerful and more fearsome than the old God. In a sense, they are the very face of God. And perhaps we were not meant to see such things.
This album was my feeble attempt to make peace with the blackness. The immense cold that surrounds and beckons us all. Our past and our future.
The album closes with an image of standing amidst Pluto’s Norgay Mountains. These peaks extend 20,000 feet of solid ice into thin atmosphere. Evening comes early in the mountains. There is no Earth. On this final planet we face the decision of looking back toward Earth or moving onward into the dark.

Undercover Israeli forces injure, detain 3 youth near al-Bireh
Oct. 7, 2015 7:21 P.M. (Updated: Nov. 17, 2015 12:15 P.M.)
A screenshot of the video footage captured by AFP shows undercover Israeli forces and soldiers beat a Palestinian youth.
RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- Undercover Israeli forces dressed as Palestinian protesters detained three injured Palestinians during clashes that erupted near the Beit El settlement checkpoint, northeast of al-Bireh in the district of Ramallah on Wednesday, witnesses said.
The incident was captured on camera by multiple journalists.
The footage revealed Israeli forces, dressed as Palestinian protesters wearing clothes around their faces, appearing to join protesters in the clashes with Israeli forces. At least eight of the masked men then pulled out hand guns and moved to detain the group of Palestinians.
Two Palestinians were shot, beaten and detained during the undercover arrest raid, while another was beat and detained.
Israeli soldiers quickly joined the undercover forces to detain the youths.
An Israeli army spokesperson said the two Palestinians who were shot were taken to hospitals in Jerusalem after being treated by medics on the scene.
Reports suggest one of the youths is in serious condition.
A Red Crescent official said Palestinian medics were not able to access the youths, as they were detained by Israeli authorities.
Over 271 Palestinians were injured across the occupied West Bank on Wednesday as fierce clashes continued for the sixth consecutive day, including 84 by rubber-coated steel bullets, Red Crescent officials said.
While the total number of detained Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem is unknown,Israeli authorities have orchestrated mass detention raids in Palestinian towns following fatal attacks on four Israelis over the past week.

Twilight Eclipse Globes: macetech on the silver screen
Our latest project with Tangible Interaction involves decorative programmable lighting for a party scene in the new movie Twilight: Eclipse. Well, actually...it's a pretty old project, started back in September '09 and completed in October. However, we've had to keep most of it under wraps until the movie was released today. Here's a photo from the set, it's been floating around the internet for a few weeks:
Over 100 glowing globes are scattered midair near the walls of a large room. They smoothly cycle through colors and patterns behind major characters during pivotal plot points. Each globe is brightly lit with an individually controlled 30-bit color. The system is controlled with several Arduino microcontrollers receiving DMX commands.
This project nearly overshadows our Olypmic involvement, in terms of worldwide exposure of products we have developed. Unlike the Zygote project we helped Tangible Interaction build for the 2010 Olympic closing ceremony, these globes use macetech products that are available in our store for purchase.
More specifically, each globe contains a Satellite Module and is controlled by a ShiftBar RGB medium-power LED controller. These products were integrated into the final system by Tangible Interaction and intellijel designs. We provided technical consultation, prototyping, and custom design, production and assembly services.
This was our first major project collaborating with Alex Beim of Tangible Interaction. A few months earlier we had compared notes on a few projects over Twitter, and he had done some evaluation of ShiftBrite modules.
One day, Alex contacted me about possibly using some our ShiftBar modules in a new secret project, only described as a "blockbuster movie" due to absolute secrecy during production. After the project was completed, we discovered that the movie was the latest installment in the extremely popular teen drama series, Twilight Eclipse.
We discussed requirements over a few dozen emails. I'm sure anyone involved in application engineering understands how a project like this fragments into many possibilities and finally coalesces into a plan. The final verdict was that ShiftBars were the right choice, since he needed to suspend the lighting elements a significant distance. Only four wires would be needed, instead of 12 wires...and the ShiftBars could be placed close together instead of trying to pass logic level signals across 10 foot cables.
However, the lighting element needed didn't currently exist. But we did already have a 95% complete Eagle design for such a product, and received assurances from our PCBA supplier that we could make the deadline easily. That lighting element was the Satellite Module 001, with four 100mA red LEDs and three each blue and green 100mA LEDs.
A major concern was whether the LEDs would appear on movie film correctly. The ShiftBar drivers use PWM to vary the brightness of each LED by turning them on and off in varying proportions. This cycle occurs about 780 times per second, while film cameras capture 24 frames per second. That meant 32.5 PWM cycles per frame...but as any film major would know, it's not that simple. Wikipedia turned out to be an acceptable substitute for a film major, and revealed that motion picture cameras use a rotating disc as the shutter. The disc has movable portions to allow an angular section of the disc to be expanded or narrowed (referred to as setting shutter angle). Varying shutter angles are used for different light and motion enviroments. The main point was that at the widest setting, only 16.25 PWM cycles would be exposed on film, and at a narrow setting only a couple PWM cycles would be exposed. We were worried that there would a visible strobing effect, as seen on TV screens when the camera is not synchronized to the TV scan time.
A film test was necessary. Alex was able to mock up a test globe using a lot of ShiftBrites he already had on hand. The camera crew set up a comparable lighting environment, shot the film, developed it, and Alex got the OK to proceed.
We immediately completed the PCB design and sent the rush order to our offshore PCBA supplier. In the meantime, we constructed a simple prototype and shipped it to Alex so he could experiment with ShiftBar driving techniques and optimal placement within the globes.
Everything seemed to be going well.
We kept in contact with our supplier throughout the production and assembly process, and made sure they would be able to ship the module out in time. However, it turned out that they were shipped just one day too late. The package got stuck in Chinese outbound processing right as China was starting an 8-day national holiday. For a few days it looked like everything was normal, but tracking never showed it hitting San Francisco inbound customs.
There was still a possibility it would arrive in time, but we had to call Alex and explain that they might be stuck in transit past the deadline. This turned out to be an impossible situation; we were cutting close already, and Alex needed a minimum amount of time to integrate the modules and complete the system tests. Filming would take place in about 7 days!
It looked like the project was dead...there didn't seem to be any way to get these LED modules. We scoured suppliers looking for other modules that would work with ShiftBars and found nothing. Finally we decided to look into how fast it would be to build a complete new batch of LED modules.
The main problem was that the high power LEDs we used are not easily available in the USA. Instead of looking for pin compatible replacements, we hunted for any similar LED. Finally located some 150mA surface mount LEDs at Digikey, in high enough quantity.
We still needed a PCB for these, and some way to assemble them. An Oregon based quickturn PCB manufacturer, PCBunlimited, promised that they could get us the PCBs in less than two days if we got the CAD files to them in 45 minutes. We immediately made an Eagle part for the new LEDs and designed a new PCB, all in about 30 minutes.
LEDs and screw terminals were on the way, and everything would arrive ready for assembly two days before our latest possible ship date.
The previous LED module order did eventually arrive, one week past the deadline.
In the meantime, we set up the assembly line.
Hand soldering the LEDs with wire solder would have taken far too long for 150 modules, each with 44 solder joints. The only reasonable assembly method was solder paste stenciling. We already had some 2mil mylar from previous solder stencil projects, so we used the laser cutter at TechShop to cut out a stencil. This would work perfectly with solder paste we available.
Stencil positioning is the hardest part of solder paste stenciling, so we also made acrylic jigs to hold the PCBs at known locations. This also allowed stenciling six PCBs at a time.
Once the PCBs arrived, we started assembly. I would set up empty PCBs, position the stencil, and apply solder paste. Then Jason would place the LEDs on the solder pads using tweezers.
While that was happening, I would solder a previous batch of PCBs. To prevent damage to the delicate plastic LED housings, we used a hot plate to preheat the boards slightly less than solder melt temperature. Then I used a hot air rework tool to gently heat the LEDs until the solder paste flowed. Another method would be to use a toaster oven for reflow, but we wanted more control over the reflow process and didn't want to risk any modules while establishing a reflow profile.
Finally we completed the LED soldering and added the screw terminals. Everything was ready just in time...we immediately shipped them to Alex.
Of course, building the LED hardware was just one part of the project. Alex and the rest of the Tangible Interaction crew had built up the rest of the system while waiting for LED modules. They had to make control boxes to hold the ShiftBars, then cut, strip, and install hundreds of wires.
This is an example of a ShiftBar + Satellite Module system, with only eight modules. Tangible Interaction needed to integrate over 100 modules in a way that would be reliable, repairable, and easily controlled from a computer using standard protocols.
Danjel from intellijel also does a lot of work with Tangible Interaction, and was responsible for the control integration. He used a ShiftBrite Shield to prototype a custom DMX compatible Arduino, then developed an Arduino with integrated DMX receive capability (the DMXduino).
These short leadtime projects are always plagued by Murphy's Law. Often you become aware of problems from directions never previously considered. It was definitely tough to pull this project off despite the difficulties, but it was also a rush to work with a company like Tangible Interaction and to test our own limits to get the job done. It was also encouraging to see some of our products considered good enough to make it onto the silver screen.

Cool! That was an exciting story, and I am glad that you managed to ship the parts out despite the logistical nightmare.
I am also curious about why you had to do a PCB redesign in the first place. Did you need a feature not present in the current Satellite Modules? Are the unused modules the reason for the current sale on those modules?
The redesign was necessary
Submitted by Garrett on Wed, 06/30/2010 - 13:29.
The redesign was necessary because the LEDs we could get on short notice were completely different. The original Satellite modules we ordered were all sold a long time ago, we're a couple batches since then...we're running a little sale right now to do some testing for the correct price point for these since they are going a little slower than we'd like.
Oh! Somehow, reading this

Oh! Somehow, reading this on Wednesday, I was not getting the crucial point that the Satellites were designed for this movie, and I was wondering why you had to "redesign" the Satellites when they had been out for a long time already. It makes perfect sense now.
This is absolutely amazing!

This is absolutely amazing! Congrats on a job well done! The extra effort to figure out how the PWM would work onscreen is really cool!
It would be funny if you sold some of these in your store, but on the globe you would have a picture of the faces of Edward and the other wolf guy, and have the text "TEAM EDWARD" or "TEAM whatever" for the other guy. I think the fangirls would go crazy! ;)

Thanks Erin...I confess I did sweat a little wondering if the LED arrays would actually work the same as the ShiftBrite test, and they would have a bunch of worthless footage.
We have thought of making globes available but haven't found a reasonably priced source.
As for fangirls going crazy, they don't need extra help in that department ;)

When I got to the part about you sending the gerbs offshore with any deadline at all, I knew that Act IV of this play wasn't going to be uneventful. It just almost *never* seems like a good idea just to save a couple hundred bucks. I'm as cheap as the next guy (ok already, cheaper!), but it's been my experience that the Pacific Ocean is the Bermuda Triangle as far as electronic components (and oscilloscopes) are concerned. Days randomly turn into weeks, and a week into a month. I'd have paid the extra $200 and had the kids in South Park make them, rather than not being able to sleep for two weeks.
6600 solder joints? Phhht, that's not even two days work! OK, that's through-hole... :-)
Nice work, and nice save!

Mini grid power generation answer to electricity woes
Written by George Pemba
Barias Unyolo inspecting solar equipment
Lilongwe, February 27, 2019: A mini solar village project to be installed in Sitolo village Traditional Authority (TA) Mlonyeni in Mchinji is expected to transform lives of over 150 households of Sitolo and surrounding villages.
The project which is being funded by government through United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), will have a generation capacity of up to 80 kilowatts.
The Min Solar Power Grid that will stand on an acre of piece of land will consist of 265 solar panels that will be able to generate 320 Watts each.
According to Energy Development Officer for Community Energy Malawi, Berias Unyolo, the implementers of the project, it is expected that the project would be commissioned by end of March, 2019.
“I think in three weeks’ time the project will be up and running since most of the equipment have already been procured. We are just waiting for the contractor to now start installing the gadgets before the project becomes operational,” he discolsed.
According to Principal Energy Officer from the Department of Energy Affairs under the Ministry of Natural Resources, Energy and Mining, Cornwell Chisale, the project would serve as a case study for providing power to isolated communities in the country.
“We want this to be a learning ground that instead of leaving communities wait until Escom grid reaches them which takes a long time because of costs that are involved in constructing power lines, we can take the power to them using the mini grid initiative,” he explained.
Chisale added that, “By taking the power to where the people are, we are actually taking employment to them; we are improving their livelihoods; we are promoting education because learners will be able to study in their homes.”
He said the things they spend time to look for, such as maize mills, phone charging which take a lot of their productive time, will be within reach noting that the time they would be sparing on these errands, would be used for other meaningful and productive ventures.
As regards sustainability of the project Chisale assured that it would self-sustaining as the people would be paying for the electricity generated.
He explained that, “A market assessment was done and the willingness-to-pay study was also conducted. These people you see here are very eager to pay for the power that will be produced at this place.”
Village headman Sitolo, in whose area the project is located, could not hide his excitement saying he can’t wait to see the project coming to fruition.
“This project is a big blessing to my area because it will help improve the wellbeing of my subjects. Think of having maize mills right within my village, my people getting engaged in small scale business ventures such as welding workshops, salons, barber shops and video show rooms, I am so excited about it,” he observed.
Another Min grid but which is hydro in nature is being implemented at Bondo TA Mabuka in Mulanje while another one is yet to be commissioned at Usingini in Nkhatabay.

Mirada Media Outfits Trendy Montréal Clothier with Digital Signage
Boutique Finn, a Montréal-based clothing designer, selects Mirada Media to install digital signage at their flagship outlet in Rosemère, Quebec.
Montréal, December 19, 2008 – Mirada Media, a leading provider of digital signage integration, is pleased to announce the recent installation of its ChannelView system at Boutique Finn, a retailer which sells its own line of clothing and accessories.
Boutique Finn was looking for a cutting-edge means through which to showcase its merchandise and clothing at its retail location. In addition, because of the regular changes in its clothing collections, Finn also needed a way to update its promotional material. Mino Kelechian, Finn’s owner, noted that “Our constant replenishment of new merchandise at the retail level requires promotion. The digital signage system allows that and fits in with the overall store concept perfectly.”
Furthermore, Mr. Kelechian noted that the ability to customize and change content on a regular basis was a valuable feature which would be almost impossible to replicate via traditional printed media. He also highlighted that selecting the proper marketing channel is of the utmost importance, especially in the retail industry, and added that Finn “needed to reach out and grab our media-minded clientele’s attention and that traditional, static, one-dimensional printed signs wouldn’t cut it.”
Mirada Media helped Finn accomplish these objectives by creating a customized solution integrating Mirada’s ChannelView system with two 52-inch high-definition LCD screens placed in key locations at Boutique Finn. Once finalized, the content is posted to the ChannelView system and displayed on the in-store LCD monitors. Thus far, Finn’s digital signage system has received considerable attention and praise, but Mr. Kelechian has ambitious plans to leverage the ChannelView platform even more: He plans to continue developing even more cutting-edge content through Mirvik Design, Finn’s sister company, which specializes in digital media production.
The use of digital signage by retailers is on the upswing, as it allows business owners to enhance customers’ shopping experience by offering memorable, captivating content. According to Eric Morello, Mirada Media’s director of marketing, “The benefits of digital signage for retailers to showcase their merchandise are definitely there, especially when merchants are catering to a younger, media-conscious audience. In a world where consumers have a plethora of choices for everything from clothes to electronics to food, digital signage offers merchants the opportunity to create a distinctive shopping experience and to get customers to come back.”
Finn has just released its Winter 2009 collection, which is available at www.boutiquefinn.ca. For more information about this press release, please contact Mirada Media at (514) 789-1989.

Secure Foundations - Haiti
Building homes for the homeless and a healthcare training center.

Secure Foundations: A Dream for Haiti
“Poverty has no logic. It is immune to our rational calculations. Once embedded in a society, it steals everything and assumes an insidious and pervasive power. Not content with the theft of material goods, poverty seeps into the wells of the human spirit and disarms even the angels of hope.”
I wrote these words in reflecting on a walk in a village in Northern Haiti with a physician who had been coming to Haiti for twenty-five years. Since her first visit as a medical student, little had changed. Dictators and governments had come and gone. She had watched one program after another fail to improve the lives of ordinary Haitians substantially .
We walked over a bridge where women were drawing water from a brown, silt filled stream below. Growth stunted children played in front of poorly constructed houses. Men with no jobs or opportunities sat on steps, nodding politely as we passed by. My physician friend said with sadness, “This is a great shame. How is it that a country so close to us remains so broken and impoverished? Why have we as a Church and a country failed so miserably in our efforts to help Haiti?”
Is there an answer to the shame? How can the next twenty five years be different than the previous twenty five? What must we do?
· We have to assert the radical power of love. From the wells of love, spill the good will, the generosity and the solidarity which must be shared with our Haitian brothers and sisters. Love resists the temptation to despair and asks us to imagine again a better life for all God’s people.
· We must work with the family. It is here in the foundational relationships between husband and wife and parents and children that we can have the greatest impact. To build, support and renew the family, we have a Maternal Life Haiti affiliate which conducts Faithful House workshops throughout the Archdiocese of Cap Haitien. Nearly 1000 couples have been touched by this work.
· We must create a “climate of security.” The vast majority of Haitians have little security: they have few employment opportunities; they have limited food resources; their lives can be upended in an instant by violence or natural disasters. Thousands and thousands of Haitian families live in grossly sub-standard housing which makes them vulnerable to earthquakes, hurricanes, storms, disease transmission and family discord. In 2010, an earthquake struck Haiti leading to 160,000 deaths, many which could have been prevented by a better housing infrastructure.
Three words point the way out of poverty:
LOVE. . . . . FAMILY . . . . . SECURITY
We have set in motion the first two words. Our training teams led by Mr. Jacquieus Joseph and Mr. and Mrs. Martial Verdieu are immersed in helping families in communities and parishes. They see the suffering, the challenges and the possibilities. From their work and from the inspiration of a brilliant professor of music in Montana, the third word, “security” is ready to take flight.
The security of a family in a safe home is the necessary and missing foundation for human development in Haiti.
From Montana with love
Gary Funk is a DMA professor of music recently retired from The University of Montana. In the aftermath of the 2010 Haitian earthquake, he was driving through a forested part of Montana and listening to the radio describing the death and devastation wrought by the earthquake. He looked out his window to see vast stretches of beetle-killed pine trees. He knew that in Haiti thousands died because houses and buildings were constructed out of poorly made cement. He knew that Haiti was 99% deforested. While many were struggling with the question of “Why?” Gary was asking a different question, “Why not?” Why not take the millions of acres of beetle-killed wood and other salvage wood from Montana and western forests and bring the lumber to Haiti for construction of earthquake/hurricane resistant, wood-framed structures. He founded an organization, “Wood for Haiti,” consisting of engineers, forestry specialists, master carpenters and architects who have had years of experience in their respective professions and in construction projects. Together, they have planned every phase of project development: harvesting the wood, transporting wood, tools and equipment to Haiti, designing architecturally and structurally to withstand natural disasters,, training Haitian carpenters and developing criteria for home ownership.
A pilot project in Milot
Working with Wood for Haiti and the Archdiocese of Cap Haitien, the first model house is ready to be shipped to Haiti. It was constructed as a prototype small family house in Missoula, Montana, and is being stored at a warehouse in Butte. In Haiti, the mayor of the town of Milot has deeded the land. We now need the funding to ship the house to the Cap Haitien port, assemble it, add the plumbing, a septic system and several external fixtures.
We are confident that what will be realized in Milot is just the beginning. We have an opportunity to export a critical resource: wood for Haiti, wood that marks the words, love, family and security. Churches and humanitarian organizations will be able to sponsor construction, training and program implementation. Building and trade skills can be taught and shared, creating jobs and economic opportunities. The Central Government of Haiti will observe that the provision of safe and secure housing must become and can become a national priority.
Victor Hugo wrote, “There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come.” What has been imagined in love can be constructed in wood. Together we can create those sacred spaces that humanize us: the sacred space of love, respect and kindness between a man and woman, the sacred space of a house which gives shelter, security and comfort to a child, the sacred space within a soul which clings to hope when hope had seemingly been lost.

Scatter Symbols
/Slot Features
/Scatter Symbols/
We all know that a slot machine features a number of different symbols on the reels which reward you with a win when you line up three or more of them on a pay line. Some symbols are designated as special symbols which will lead to bigger wins or open up bonus games, and these are often referred to as scatter symbols, wild symbols or multiplier symbols.
The scatter symbol is usually the most important, and is often representative of the overall theme of the game. For example, the scatter symbol on IGT’s Egyptian-themed Cleopatra slot is an iconic Sphinx statue.
How do Scatter Symbols Work?
Scatter symbols vary from other symbols in two distinct ways. Firstly, they don’t have to appear on a winline to award a win. Instead, these symbols can appear in any position on any reel to reward you with a win. Secondly, they cannot be replaced by a wild symbol. Wilds act as a substitute for any other symbol, generating a winning combination where otherwise there would not have been one, but they cannot replace scatters.
The rules for scatters vary from game to game, so it’s worth checking the pay table before you play, so you know what you’re aiming for. Most online games require three or more scatter symbols to appear on the reels, and this usually results in a win being multiplied. Scatters multiply the total win, not just the line win, and many players bet on all lines to increase the payout when scatter icons land.
Other games use the scatter icon to launch a bonus game, and landing three scatters on a payline will initiate one of the slot’s features. These features can vary from bonus games to free spins – some of the most popular slots like The Dark Knight Rises and Immortal Romance use a combination of scatter symbols to initiate bonus rounds.
The Original Scatter Symbol
On early traditional fruit machines, the original scatter symbol was the red cherries. These were introduced to add an extra element to the game, and the cherries were not bound by the same restrictions as other symbols. Where the others had to line up across the payline, the cherries could appear anywhere on the reels to generate a small win. The wins were generally small, but could increase with more scatter symbols landing on a single spin, and the wins were paid out in addition to any other winning line.
Modern video slots have changed the way scatter symbols are used, and gaming developers are always coming up with new and inventive ways to use the symbols to create more exciting games.
Scatter Symbols and Video Slots
With many modern video slots having five or seven reels, and some offering hundreds of paylines on a single spin, the function of the scatter symbol has moved on from those early machines.
Scatters on video slots are often animated and will come to life when they land on the reels. Many slots now feature video streaming and 3D graphics, and when three scatter symbols land and lead to a bonus round, it’s not unusual to see video clips and animations that take you into the bonus game.
The original slot machines only required one scatter symbol to land on the reels for a small win, and although many video slots use a combination of three or more to launch features, some still pay out on single or double scatter symbols.
Find out What You’ll Win
When you begin playing an online slot, it’s always worth checking out the pay table to find out about the winning combinations, the scatter and wild symbols, and the payout levels. The pay table is usually accessible from an icon on the main gaming screen, which launches a pop-up window with all of that information. Find out which symbol is the scatter, and how many you need to land to generate a decent win or open up the bonus feature. It’s much more fun playing when you know what to aim for.

Home Technology Honda reveals redesigned Accord, moves hybrid production from Japan to Ohio
Honda reveals redesigned Accord, moves hybrid production from Japan to Ohio
Saturday, July 15, 2017 0
The Japanese automaker also announced Friday that it would move production of the hybrid version of the Accord from Japan to Ohio.
The redesigned 2018 Honda Accord will square off against contemporary sedans such as the Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Malibu. But its fiercest competition is coming in the form of small crossovers, including Honda's own CR-V crossover.
Like other mid-size cars, the Accord is ailing. Sales fell 5.5% through June to 160,091 units, compared to a year earlier, according to sales tracker Autodata
The Accord is making its debut at a media event in Detroit. It wasn't the best timing, coming after the company hours earlier announced a recall of 1.5 million Accords from the 2013 through 2016 model years to prevent engine fires.
But the new model is sure to generate interest among the family demographic the automaker is targeting. The vehicle was completely redesigned from scratch, though it's not a significant departure from the ninth generation Accord, whose buyers prize reliability, sensibility and quality.
“"We think this addition of new product will make people step back and take a look,” said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president of American Honda Motor Co.'s automobile division.
Automakers have turned to aggressive discounts to sell passenger cars, but Autotrader analyst Michelle Krebs noted that Honda hadn't gone overboard with the Accord.
Discounts per Accord have averaged $3,419 so far this year, with prices averaging $25,176, according to Kelley Blue Book. That means incentives account for 13.6% of the vehicle price, which is up from 10.7% in 2016 but still better than the Toyota Camry's 17.8% and Nissan Altima's 19.2%.
Krebs said Honda's main hope with the new Accord is to preserve market share, not gain sales.
Honda said its new Accord's improvements include:
A lighter and more rigid body structure.
New chassis design.
Two new direct-injected and turbocharged four-cylinder engines and a new generation of Honda's two-motor hybrid technology.
The first 10-speed automatic transmission for a front-drive car.
More space inside with a larger trunk and a longer wheelbase for more rear leg room.
More comfortable seats, including a 12-way power adjustable driver's seat.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility
Standard driver-assist safety technologies, including adaptive cruise control.
Six trim levels for the 1.5-liter version, four for the 2-liter version and five for the hybrid.
The company is discontinuing the coupe version of the Accord, leaving fans with the option of the smaller Honda Civic coupe.
It's also ditching the six-cylinder engine option available on its earlier Accord. The most powerful option is now a four-cylinder, 2-liter, turbocharged engine based on the Civic Type R powertrain with 252 horsepower, compared to the six-cylinder, 3.5-liter's 278 horsepower.
The Accord, which Cars.com called one of the most made-in-America vehicles in 2016, will be built at the automaker's plant in Marysville, Ohio, with engines and transmissions from plants in either Ohio or Georgia.

BRAG: Australia's Immigration Intakes 2000 - 2014
/ ► Australia's Immigration Intakes 2000 - 2014
Australia's Immigration Intakes 2000 - 2014
by Jack Roach - Sunday, 1 February 2015, 03:10 AM
The Big Australian Illusion by Callum Pickering.doc
Australia's rate of population growth is 1.8% which compares with the world rate of only 1.1%. with Canada at 1.2%, US 0.7%. UK 0.6%, New Zealand & France at 0.5%.
Victoria's rate is 2.2%, so we are leading in the race to grow our population, which is pLacing real pressure on our infrastructure, public transpot, gridlocked roads, schools, hospitals, water and power supplies, etc.
MELBOURNE IS SET TO DOUBLE ITS POPULATION IN 30-35 YEARS TO OVER 8 MILLION. ASK YOURSELF JUST WHO BENEIFITS FROM THIS GROWTH?
The Productivity Commission says it is not the existing residents but the new arrivals who gain the benefits, and we add its is also the the development industry and the supporting businesses that supply all the furniture & fittings, white goods etc to fill the apartments and dwellings being built to house these new arrivals. Build more and more then bring in more and more to enable them to build more and more. Its just a great big Ponzi scheme.
Australia's immigration intakes since 2000 have steadily risen from 80.000pa to double that in 2009 and last year it was around the 250,000 Prior to 2000 it was a steady 70,000 to 80,000 pa.which enabled us to manage the growth.
if we return the rate to around the 70.000 to 80,000pa we could stabilize our population growth to a more manageble level but our governments, both State and Federal, are all for growth because,as Callum Pickering said, in the Business Spectator of 22 April 2014, "THE BIG AUSTRALIAN ILLUSION - its creating an illusion of (economic) growth while hoping we don't realize the reality. (see attachment above).
We say it is time we all had a serious discussion on this rate of growth.What about a referendum on Australia's population growth? If we do nothing where will it all end? THE BIG AUSTRALIAN CRASH?

Pakistan: National Winter Marxist Youth School
Imran Kamyan
The annual National Winter Marxist Youth School of the Pakistani section of the IMT was held from December 3rd to December 5th, 2010 at Hawks Bay, Karachi. In spite of the very long distances and difficult economic situation more than 150 comrades from all over the country participated in the school with great revolutionary spirit.
The opening speech was delivered by comrade Zaka in which he explained that the school was being held in an extraordinary epoch and financial cuts are being imposed on the working class all over the world due to the built-in crisis of capitalism. There is a new wave of awakening in the working class and students all over the world as new and new movements are emerging every day.
In the morning of December 3rd the first session was started. The topic of the first session was “World and Pakistan Perspectives” which was chaired by comrade Rehana and led off by comrade Haneef Misrani. Comrade Haneef in his lead off explained how world capitalism is in deep crisis which cannot truly be explained on the basis of bourgeoisie economics and the so-called bourgeois economists all over the world are giving lame excuses and the wrong solutions to the crisis. The capitalist crisis is throwing humanity into destruction, poverty, hunger and low standards of living throughout the world. Even the bourgeois analysts are declaring it the biggest crisis in the history of capitalism.
He then analyzed the economic situation of Pakistan and the anti-worker policies of the PPP government. The lead off was followed by questions raised by the audience, after which comrades from different parts of the country started making their contributions. Comrade Majid from Pakistan Steel Mills, and the comrades Ghaffar, Rashid Khalid and comrade Tanveer from Kashmir, comrades Qarni and Changez from Rawalpindi/Islamabad, comrade Zubair from the BSO Balochistan, comrade Rahul from Haidarabad, comrade Nihal from Quetta, comrade Zubair and comrade Paras from Karachi were among those who contributed. Comrade Haneef Misrani in his summing up concluded that Pakistan may face a food crisis in the near future. The war industry is the most profitable business all over the world and the elites in the Pakistan Military are making a lot of money in the form of commissions through arms deals with western defence firms, but the time is not very far off when the masses all over the world will rise with the same weapons in their hands for a Socialist Revolution.
After the lunch break the second session was held, which was chaired by comrade Sheharyar Zauq and the lead off was by comrade Rashid Khalid. The topic under discussion was “Wage Labour and Capital”. Comrade Rashid in his lead off explained the contradiction between ‘wage labour and capital’ very eloquently. He explained how a surplus is produced through labour power which later becomes capital and how wages are determined in a capitalist economy.
After the lead off and questions asked by the audience different comrades started their contributions on the topic. Comrade Gulzar from D.G Khan, comrade Changez and comrade Saqib from Rawalpindi, comrade Mah-Bloos from Multan, comrade Zubair-ur-Rehman and comrade Paras from Karachi highlighted the different aspects of ‘wage labour and capital’ in their contributions.
Comrade Rashid summed up the session by concluding that in the capitalist mode of production the motive behind production is profit and this very profit has become a curse for humanity. The need of the hour is a worldwide planned economy in which production would be for the sake of the needs of humanity.
On December 4th the third session was started on the topic “The history of philosophy” and was chaired by comrade Nihal. Comrade Changez in his rich lead off explained that the history of philosophy is as old as the human civilisation itself. He then explained the philosophy of the four fundamental elements (fire, air, water and soil) which dates back to 600 BC. He then explained the different ideas of the famous Greek philosopher Thales. Materialist ideas in Greek Philosophy were also discussed. The dialectical approach of Heraclitus was explained in detail as he was the first Greek philosopher who was convinced that everything is in a constant state of motion. After the dialects of Heraclitus came Democritus who was a fully fledged Materialist.
The struggle of Socrates against individualism was also explained. The teachings of Aristotle, Epicurus, the idealist views of Descartes and Kant were also explained. Hegel’s idealist approach towards dialectics and Feuerbach’s materialism were also important in the history of philosophy.
All these philosophical trends had their impact on Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels who later developed the ideas of Dialectical Materialism which is the basic philosophy of Marxism.
After a detailed lead off by comrade Changez, questions were raised by the audience. A lot of comrades contributed and made the discussion rich and comprehensive. Comrade Aijaz Bhagio , comrade Faiz, and comrade Saeed from Sindh, comrade Rehana and comrade Ghaffar from Kashmir, comrade Gulzar from D.G Khan, comrade Zubair and comrade Paras from Karachi made their contributions. Comrade Changez in his summing up quoted Karl Marx, saying that philosophers have interpreted the world in various ways, the point however is to change it, and true Marxists all over the world are fulfilling that very duty.
In the afternoon there was another session on the topic “Bolshevism , The Road to Revolution” which was chaired by comrade Qarni. This session was led off by comrade Aijaz Bhagio who beautifully explained the contradictions in the RSDLP, the Russian Revolution of 1905 and its failure, the opportunism of the Mensheviks, the ideology, methodology and tactics of the Bolsheviks, the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and the need for a Bolshevik Party in recent times.
Comrade Aakash and comrade Nathomil sang revolutionary poems which enthused the audience more. Comrade Amna from Kashmir, comrade Tanveer and comrade Ghaffar, comrade Rashid Laghari and comrade Faiz Junejo from Sindh, comrade Zubair and comrade Paras from Karachi made their contributions on the topic.
Comrade Aijaz summed up by saying that each comrade must play his/her role in the revolution by fulfilling the tasks as assigned by the organisation. We have full confidence that we will lead and complete a worldwide socialist revolution.
Held on December 5th was the last session of the school regarding the strategy of work among the youth all over the country, chaired by comrade Babar and led off by comrade Paras Jan. Comrade Paras explained how important the role of youth is in a revolution and what tactics should be adopted in order to cover wider layers of youth. The lead off was followed by the regional reports from the whole section. Comrade Rashid from Kashmir, comrade Awais Qarni from Rawalpindi/Islamabad, comrade Saddam from Hyderabad, comrade Asim from Multan, comrade Sheharyar from D.G Khan, comrade Zaka from Karachi and other comrades presented the reports of their regions. Comrade Zubair, comrade Hareesh Kumar and comrade Riyaz also made their contributions regarding the youth work throughout the country.
The school was concluded by singing the Internationale.

Brazil: tsunami against education cuts shows Bolsonaro government can be brought down
Jorge Martin
15 May saw a tsunami of demonstrators come out against education cuts and counter-reforms to pensions in Brazil. More than 1.5 million hit the streets of over 200 cities across the country during the national education strike against the latest measures of the Bolsonaro government, which include a 30 percent cut to university budgets. Despite its bravado, the government is weak and divided. The slogan “Fora Bolsonaro” (Bolsonaro Out) resonated widely. Certainly, Brazil is not in the
Militancy grows over first week of Polish teachers' strike
Henryk Kozlowski
The Polish teachers’ strike, which started on 8 April, marks a fundamental change in the situation in Poland, once hailed as the success story for the transition to capitalism after the collapse of the Stalinist regime in 1989. The class struggle is back on the agenda. Now the greatest teachers’ strike in Polish history has entered its second week and is becoming the catalyst for the pent-up anger of youth and workers.

Spain: 8 March – working women stand against the Francoist right
For the second consecutive year, International Working Women’s Day (8 March) was a momentous occasion in the recent history of the Spanish State. The official data show even greater participation in the demonstrations, strike action and work stoppages than in 2018, which in some places increased dramatically. As we have been saying repeatedly, there are plenty of reasons for this great mobilisation.
More international solidarity for Rawal Asad!
The solidarity campaign for Rawal Asad (who has been held in custody since February on the scandalous charge of sedition after attending a peaceful protest in Multan, Pakistan) shows no sign of slowing down.

Today, the Additional Session judge in Multan rejected the bail application of Rawal Asad, though the written order will be given tomorrow. Rawal’s lawyer, Azhar Bukhari, presented a strong defence in front of the judge and argued that the case is fabricated from start to finish.

Britain: students rise up to fight capitalism's climate crisis
Helena Nicholson, LSE Marxists
At least 10,000 students across the UK walked out of school on Friday 15 February, marking the arrival of the international School Strike 4 Climate movement in Britain. This movement has already mobilised hundreds of thousands of students in over 40 countries, with young people around the world participating in incredibly militant strikes and marches – the aim of which is to force governmental action on climate change.
Pakistan: judge refuses to hear the case of jailed Marxist
The ordeal of a Marxist student leader from Multan, Rawal Asad, seems to be unending. He is clearly being victimised through unlawful acts and a delaying of the court procedures. Today, once again it was made clear that no law exists in Pakistan, and the courts and lawyers are all part of a farcical façade, while the real power brokers rule unchallenged. The bail application for the fabricated case of sedition was due to be heard in a court in Multan today. But the judge delayed the hearing
Pakistan: Marxist student leader jailed, bail hearing tomorrow
Rawal Asad, a Marxist student from Multan, was presented in court today after two days in police custody.

Britain: student climate strikes demand radical change – we need a revolution
The School Strike 4 Climate movement started in August last year, when one 15-year-old Swedish student, Greta Thunberg, walked out of her school to campaign against government inaction on climate change. The demonstrations have rapidly developed into a uniquely militant, global and organised youth movement.

Rawal Asad is an undergraduate student and political activist of Government Emerson College in Multan. On 5 February, he joined a protest called by the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) in Multan. They were protesting the killing of their leader, Arman Luni, who was a college professor and was killed in Balochistan a few days previously by a senior police officer, personally, by torture. The case of this murder has still not been registered. But the Multan Police registered a case

Albania: 50,000 students on the streets against corruption and injustice
In Albania, since 4 December 2018, thousands of students have been continuously demonstrating against the degradation and injustices of the education system. The initial spark for these protests was an increase in tuition fees, cancelled by the government two days after the first demonstrations. But the demands of the students have now gone well beyond this initial grievance and target the generally poor conditions of public universities. Note: the student activist interviewed for
Iranian working class begins to move again
Samira Khorasani and Hamid Alizadeh
Almost one year since the most widespread mass protests in the history of the Islamic Republic of Iran, there is no sign that the mood of anger and resentment has gone away.

Belgium: student bureaucrats censor anti-racist struggle
Vonk – Marxistische jongeren
On 8 November, the student council of the Free University of Brussels (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, VUB) refused to recognise a student Marxist society, set up by the IMT in Brussels (Vonk – Marxistische jongeren), on the grounds that our organisation is… anti-sexist, anti-racist and anti-fascist! We reiterate: this was a decision taken by the majority of the student council, not the university bosses.

Fantasy Breakdown: Patriots vs Bills
Adrian Kraus / AP Photo
The Patriots used some last-minute magic to escape from Pittsburgh with a key victory. This week, they're back home against the Bills, needing a win to stay on the inside track for the AFC's #1 seed.
Though it doesn't always feel like it, Tom Brady hasn't turned in a good fantasy performance in a while. Despite a clutch comeback drive last week, he finished under 300 yards and threw just one touchdown pass (not to mention an ugly interception). The Bills are a far easier opponent, to be sure, but Gronk could be on a snap count and Brady's already playing without Chris Hogan. If you've got another top-10 quarterback, this might be a week to start them. However, you definitely shouldn't be starting Tyrod Taylor against this Pats D. On the road and facing New England, he has no fantasy value.
Tom Brady: 15 points
279 passing yards (11 points), 1 passing TD (4 points)
Tyrod Taylor: 8 points
153 passing yards (6 points), 1 passing TD (4 points), 1 INT (-2 points)
With both Rex Burkhead and James White out, Dion Lewis is set to see most of the backfield work this week. This also means Mike Gillislee will dress for the first time in months. While he'll be in a "revenge" game against his former squad, it's hard to see Gillislee finding fantasy relevance in his first week back. Lewis is simply too good and the risk too great to merit a start. For Buffalo, LeSean McCoy remains a high-level start. His ability both between the tackles and out of the backfield has historically given the Pats problems. This week figures to be no different.
Dion Lewis: 17 points
88 rushing yards (8 points), 4 receptions, 35 receiving yards (3 points) 1 rushing TD (6 points)
LeSean McCoy: 20 points
102 rushing yards (10 points), 5 receptions, 41 receiving yards (4 points), 1 rushing TD (6 points)
Chris Hogan is out once again, meaning Brandin Cooks will be the primary threat. Expect him to see some deep balls, but also simply clear out much of the field for Rob Gronkowski. He's a low-end WR2 this week, but if you're in your fantasy championship and have some other high-quality options he might even slide into your flex. Philip Dorsett simply doesn't have enough experience to make a confident projection, and Kenny Britt is far too new to the team to have gained Tom Brady's trust just yet. For the Bills, Kelvin Benjamin is questionable and Jordan Matthews and Zay Jones just aren't any good. There's no quality fantasy commodity outside of McCoy in this offense.
Brandin Cooks: 18 points
4 receptions, 85 receiving yards (8 points)
Kelvin Benjamin: 5 points
Gronk may be on a limited snap count this week with the playoffs right around the corner, but if you've got him you should still start him. Assuming he plays some snaps, his upside is too much to ignore. For the Bills, Charles Clay is a nonreactor and shouldn't be in your lineup outside of the very deepest leagues (and even then he's a stretch).
Rob Gronkowski: 15 points
6 receptions, 94 receiving yards (9 points), 1 receiving TD (6 points)
Charles Clay: 3 points
D/STs and Kickers
The Patriots defense is primed for a good week against the inept Bills offense. I like their streaming potential, especially if they can pick off Tyrod Taylor and shut down LeSean McCoy early. On the flip side, I wouldn't buy the Bills defense this week. Tom Brady has been iffy the past few weeks fantasy-wise, but this is in New England and betting against the Pats at home is a bad idea. For kickers, Stephen Gostkowski nearly cost New England last week's game with his missed extra point, but he's still a solid fantasy option. Stephen Haushcka is reliable, but he simply doesn't get enough usage to be worth anything.
That's it for this fantasy breakdown. Enjoy your Championship Sunday, and Go Pats!

Memo to Trump: Trade Bolton for Tulsi
By Patrick Buchanan • Jul 2, 2019 at 2:00 PM
"For too long our leaders have failed us, taking us into one regime change war after the next, leading us into a new Cold War and arms race, costing us trillions of our hard-earned tax payer dollars and countless lives. This insanity must end."
Donald Trump, circa 2016?
Nope. That denunciation of John Bolton interventionism came from Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii during Wednesday night's Democratic debate. At 38, she was the youngest candidate on stage.
Gabbard proceeded to rip both the "president and his chickenhawk cabinet (who) have led us to the brink of war with Iran."
In a fiery exchange, Congressman Tim Ryan of Ohio countered that America cannot disengage from Afghanistan: "When we weren't in there they started flying planes into our buildings."
"The Taliban didn't attack us on 9/11," Gabbard replied, "Al-Qaida attacked us on 9/11. That's why I and so many other people joined the military, to go after al-Qaida, not the Taliban."
When Ryan insisted we must stay engaged, Gabbard shot back:
"Is that what you will tell the parents of those two soldiers who were just killed in Afghanistan? 'Well, we just have to be engaged.' As a solider, I will tell you, that answer is unacceptable. ... We are no better off in Afghanistan that we were when this war began."
By debate's end, Gabbard was the runaway winner in both the Drudge Report and Washington Examiner polls and was far in front among all the Democratic candidates whose names were being searched on Google.
Though given less than seven minutes of speaking time in a two-hour debate, she could not have used that time more effectively. And her performance may shake up the Democratic race.
If she can rise a few points above her 1-2% in the polls, she could be assured a spot in the second round of debates.
If she is, moderators will now go to her with questions of foreign policy issues that would not have been raised without her presence, and these questions will expose the hidden divisions in the Democratic Party.
Leading Democratic candidates could be asked to declare what U.S. policy should be — not only toward Afghanistan but Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Jared Kushner's "Deal of the Century," and Trump's seeming rejection of the two-state solution.
If she makes it into the second round, Gabbard could become the catalyst for the kind of globalist vs. nationalist debate that broke out between Trump and Bush Republicans in 2016, a debate that contributed to Trump's victory at the Cleveland convention and in November.
The problem Gabbard presents for Democrats is that, as was shown in the joust with Ryan, she takes positions that split her party, while her rivals prefer to talk about what unites the party, like the terribleness of Trump, free college tuition and soaking the rich.
Given more airtime, she will present problems for the GOP as well. For the foreign policy Tulsi Gabbard is calling for is not far off from the foreign policy Donald Trump promised in 2016 but has since failed to deliver.
We still have 2,000 troops in Syria, 5,000 in Iraq, 14,000 in Afghanistan. We just moved an aircraft carrier task force, B-52s and 1,000 troops to the Persian Gulf to confront Iran. We are about to impose sanctions on the Iranian foreign minister with whom we would need to negotiate to avoid a war.
Jared Kushner is talking up a U.S.-led consortium to raise $50 billion for the Palestinians in return for their forfeiture of sovereignty and an end to their dream of a nation-state on the West Bank and Gaza with Jerusalem as its capital.
John Bolton is talking of regime change in Caracas and confronting the "troika of tyranny" in Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
Rather than engaging Russia as Trump promised, we have been sanctioning Russia, arming Ukraine, sending warships into the Black Sea, beefing up NATO in the Baltic and trashing arms control treaties Ronald Reagan and other presidents negotiated in the Cold War
U.S. policy has managed to push our great adversaries, Russia and China, together as they have not been since the first Stalin-Mao decade of the Cold War.
This June, Vladimir Putin traveled to Beijing where he and Xi Jinping met in the Great Hall of the People to warn that in this time of "growing global instability and uncertainty," Russia and China will "deepen their consultations on strategic stability issues."
Xi presented Putin with China's new Friendship Medal. Putin responded: "Cooperation with China is one of Russia's top priorities and it has reached an unprecedented level."
At the end of the Cold War, we were the lone superpower. Who forfeited our preeminence? Who bled us of 7,000 U.S. lives and $6 trillion in endless Middle East wars? Who got us into this Cold War II?
Was all this the doing of those damnable isolationists again?

Another disaster. The Georgia lost by fire !
The burning of the “Georgia”
By Pascal Kainic
On Saturday, 1st of April 1842, intelligence of the loss by fire of this fine Indiaman ship of Newcastle, Captain Mitchell, Bound to London, was received by the underwriters at Lloyd’s, attended with a deplorable sacrifice of human life.
This ship was between 800 and 900 tons burden and was valued at £ 7.000, being splendidly fitted up for he accommodation of passengers.
She had a rich cargo on board, consisting of jewellery, merchandise and other valuable property which perished with the vessel; a loss in total of nearly £ 20.000
The unfortunate event occurred on the morning of the 1st of April, while on her passage to England from Calcutta, which place she left in the early part of February.
From the accounts brought over by the ship Thomas Sparks, from China, which arrived off Dartmouth on Friday morning, it appears that early on the morning mentioned, the watch on deck, when he vessel was in 30° south, 36° east, off Madagascar, discovered a strong smell of burning; he aroused the Commander, Captain Mitchell, and the rest of the ship’s crew and a strict search was determined upon.
On the boats being removed and the main hatches taken off, the burning was found to proceed from the cargo, when orders were given to remove a portion of it, so as to get at the fire. The crew, however, had not proceeded far before a volume of smoke burst upon them, and shortly afterwards it became so intense, accompanied with excessive heat, that they were forced to desist.
Captain Mitchell then had the hatches replaced and blocked upon every aperture in the ship, in the hope of shifting the fire. But this proved inefficient, for, in about two hours, the flames broke through the cabin windows and likewise from the hatchway over the forecastle, to the terror and dismay of all on board. Captain Mitchell, perceiving that the destruction of the vessel was inevitable, directed the crew to leave the ship, which they immediately set about doing by lowering the two boats over the vessel’s side.
The sea, at this time, was extremely rough, with a heavy gale of wind and, with the knowledge of their being 800 to 900 miles from land, every soul expected to meet with a watery grave.
At about 8 o’clock, the chief mate, with nine of the crew, left the burning vessel in the jolly boat and they were directly followed by Captain Mitchell and the rest of the ship’s crew, four in number, in the small boat.
In the course of a quarter of an hour afterwards the work of devastation had reached the masts and she appeared embodied in one mass of flames, forming a terrible, though magnificent appearance.
At this critical period, a vessel was observed at a distance, bearing towards the ill fated ship, and the chief mate turned to make known the joyful intelligence to Captain Mitchell and the rest of the crew, when he was struck by horror on finding that the boat had foundered and none of them were to be seen.
They rowed about in hopes of picking them up, but unfortunately none of the poor fellows ever rose after. The ship Thomas Sparks, which proved o be the vessel they saw bearing down to their assistance, came up alongside soon afterwards and took the chief officer and the rest of the Georgia’s crew on board, remaining within a short distance of the burning ship until she went down, which event took place at a late hour in the afternoon.
The Georgia and her cargo are reported to be insured to the extend of £ 25.000 (Today, it could be more than £ 1.500.000 !)
1. HARRY | 19/04/2010
There is a ship in eastern Ontario just of Wolf Island Split called Le Blanc Henri which sunk in a storm on June 17,1764 She was said to have 100,000.00 in gold and silver bullion aboard her. Today's market would fetch millions. That would be a great find for The Thousand Island region. Just though i share it with you ...love the stories you have great stuff! Your Truly Harry

Springbok Classic Air's DC-3 to leave for Germany
By Springbok Classic Air
The legacy of Captain Flippie Vermeulen, CEO, Springbok Classic Air will continue in Europe as his DC-3 will be leaving SA shores soon. He has sold ZS-NTE to Mr Peter Adrian. He is a German businessman based in Trier. In addition to Mr Adrian's professional activities, he is a keen aviation enthusiast specializing in vintage aircraft preservation and is an owner of, amongst others, a T28 and Beech 18. After a lengthy search for a DC-3, Peter expressed his delight in finding (as he expressed) "this beautiful example of a well-kept classic".
Even before her final test flight in 2010 after being fully refurbished, she was used in the movie "Machine Gun Preacher". Since then she has been doing from the 10 minute flips at airshows, scenic flights over JHB, showed passengers the water gushing through the Gariep Dam sluices, what Hartebeespoort Dam looks like from the air, to passing over landscapes in South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Tanzania and Mozambique. Now it's time to fly over the African continent to Europe. This "Nile to the Mediterranean" trip is expected to be covered in 11 Days!
The route for the delivery flight will be as follows: departing Rand Airport, clearing customs at Lanseria, to Mfuwe. The crew will stay over in Mfuwe before flying over the South Luangwa National Park in the East of Zambia over the Tanganyika and Victoria Lakes to Entebbe. The crew will layover for one day in Entebbe before the next leg, flying along the Nile to Khartoum in the Sudan and then onto Luxor in Egypt for the next stop. From Luxor they fly to Iraklion on the island of Krete. Here they will stay a day, and then depart for Pula in Kroasia, where the aircraft will be prepared for the last leg to Luxemborg.
"This was a sudden decision, but this offer to let her fly in Europe was just too good to resist!", says Flippie. I know she will give her new owners and all those who fly on her as passengers just as much pleasure and fun, as all of us who flew her as crew or as passengers. Peter will be joined, for both the training and the planned ferry flight by two colleagues, namely Captain Ulrich Spielmann and Captain Noel Flynn who both serve as TRE's for Cargolux Airlines based in Luxembourg. The ferry flight is scheduled for end May, early June and after transiting Africa the aircraft will find its home at one of two bases being Zweibr�cken EDRZ and Luxembourg ELLX.
Captain Flynn is well known amongst SAA pilots. He flew on 747-400's with Captain Vermeulen, before leaving SAA to join the Cargolux crew. He is the son of a retired Snr Manager of SAA Technical, now living in Cape Town.
As Peter's company owns Zweibr�cken Airport, hangarage and considerable care planning is already in place. After a period of pilot familiarization and consolidation the DC-3 will enter services which are planned to mirror the footprint of what NTE was doing out of Rand.
The last flights for ZS-NTE to the public will be the 20 minute scenic flights on 25 April and the Swartkops Airshow, 09 May. This will be the last time that she will be doing a display flight for aviation fans in South Africa.
Quick history of ZS-NTE
On 24 September 1943, Douglas C47A (DC-3) Serial no 42-92157, rolled off the production line in Oklahoma City and was delivered to the United States Army Airforce. It was then delivered to the Royal Airforce under the "lendlease" program and transferred to 28 Squadron, South African Airforce in January 1944 as 6873. It served in various SAAF Squadrons until being decommissioned and sold to Mr. Wally Gale, of Aero Rebuilders at Rand Airport in 1995.
Capt. Flippie Vermeulen bought the aircraft from them in 2002, placed it into storage for the next seven years. In 2009, after selling DC-3 ZS GPL, he started an extensive rebuilt of the aircraft into its present pristine condition.

AMERICAN SAMOA DECLARES STATE OF EMERGENCY
By Fili Sagapolutele
PAGO PAGO, American Samoa, (Samoa News, Jan. 7) - American Samoa is in a state of emergency after Acting Governor Aitofele Sunia issued a "Declaration of Emergency" at 9 a.m. on Monday after Tropical Cyclone Heta moved away from the Territory heading towards Niue, leaving behind much damage to public and private properties.
By Sunday morning, Sunia activated the American Samoa Government's (ASG) Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to coordinate emergency response activities staff by first responder personnel from various government agencies.
Heta passed American Samoa within 140 miles off Tutuila and never made landfall, with peak damaging winds between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. in the early Monday hours.
The declaration states that Heta was expected to peak at sustained wind speeds of 180 miles per hour at its core, with gusts of 195 miles per hour and would create 45 foot wave surges.
"High winds, high tidal action and heavy rainfall has caused extensive damage to critical infrastructure and public and private property throughout American Samoa," the declaration points out.
It further states that Heta has resulted in "requiring medical evacuation and the emergency evacuation of 140 individuals."
In declaring the "state of emergency throughout ... American Samoa to remain in effect until further notice," Sunia called "upon the government, non-government organizations, private sector and residents of American Samoa to coordinate and assist with restoration efforts."
Reprentatives of the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) were on route to Pago Pago to assist to recovery efforts.
Sunia said he would forward a request to U.S. President George W. Bush, to declare American Samoa a federal emergency site. By yesterday afternoon, the request was been finalized and a copy was not available at press time.
Governor Togiola Tulafono was expected back in the Territory from Apia either last night or this morning.
He left Thursday afternoon to take part in the 91st birthday celebration of Samoa's Head of State, Malietoa Tanumafili II that was scheduled for Monday this week.
However, reports out of Apia indicated that the celebrations were canceled due to the aftermath of Heta.

Putin says Russia has found men accused by UK over poisoning
VLADIVOSTOK, Russia: President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday Russia had found the two men accused by British prosecutors of trying to murder ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Britain, but that there was nothing criminal about them.
British prosecutors last week identified two Russians they said were operating under aliases — Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov — whom they accused of trying to murder the Skripals with a military-grade nerve agent in England.
The duo had entered Britain on genuine passports, prosecutors said, while British Prime Minister Theresa May described them as military intelligence officers almost certainly acting on orders from high up in the Russian state.
Putin, speaking at an economic forum in the Russian Pacific port city of Vladivostok, said Russia had located the two men, but that there was nothing special or criminal about them.
“We of course checked who these people are. We know who they are, we found them. Well, I hope they will come out themselves and speak about themselves. It will be better for everyone,” said Putin, responding to a question about the case.
“There’s nothing special and criminal about it, I assure you. We’ll see soon… They are civilians of course. I would like to appeal to them so that they hear us today. They will come somewhere, to you, the mass media…”
Hours after Putin spoke, Russian state TV said one of the two men, Petrov, had told it by phone that he might comment on the case
next week. Asked about Putin’s remarks, Prime Minister Theresa May’s spokesman said Britain’s attempts to get an explanation from Russia over the poisoning of the Skripals had always been met with obfuscation and lies and that had not changed.
“These men are officers of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU … The government has exposed the role of the GRU, its operatives and its methods, this position is supported by our international allies,” the spokesman told reporters.
“We have repeatedly asked Russia to account for what happened in Salisbury in March and they have replied with obfuscation and lies. I can see nothing to suggest that has changed.”
Moscow has repeatedly denied any involvement in the poisoning, casting it as part of a Western plot to smear Russia to justify more sanctions against it.
The Kremlin said on Wednesday that Putin had not spoken to the two accused men and refused to say how and by whom they had been found.
Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said the Russian leader had merely voiced a hope that they would appear publicly in the future. “Let’s wait for that moment,” Peskov told reporters.
Viktoria Skripal, the niece of Sergei Skripal, said last week she did not know anything about the two men. She told the Interfax news agency on Wednesday she now knew through sources she did not name that they were “simple people”.
“I knew from day one that this story about the involvement of Petrov and Boshirov was fake,” she said.
While one of the two accused, Boshirov, looked like a photograph released by Britain, the other, Petrov, looked nothing like the other photograph and had not been in Britain at the time of the attempted poisoning incident, she added.
Skripal — a former GRU colonel who betrayed dozens of agents to Britain’s MI6 foreign intelligence service — and his daughter were found slumped unconscious on a bench in the English city of Salisbury in March. They spent weeks in hospital before being discharged.

Pro-Levin PCCC Polls CA-49 – OMITTING Applegate from Poll and Report!
Greg Diamond
– February 24, 2018Posted in: 2018 elections, 49th CD, dana point, Douglas Applegate, Fresh Juice, propaganda, san clemente, san diego, san juan capistrano
Elizabeth Warren inspired a progressive organization that is almost always wonderful. (Almost always. But not when it comes to polling CA-49.)
(1) New Polling Results in CA-49 That You Won’t Believe! (And Rightly So.)
I was contacted yesterday by someone whom I’ve known only by reputation and long-admired: Adam Green, co-founder (with Stephanie Taylor) of PCCC. the Progressive Change Congressional Committee, which is associated with one of my favorite Senators, Elizabeth Warren. Green offered to share with me results of polling that they did in CA-45 and CA-49, so long as I agreed to embargo the results until 5:00 a..m. I told him that I knew that his group had supported Levin while I support Applegate, but that I would respect the embargocall my report the results straight.
I’m up early today to prepare to leave for the Democratic Party convention in San Diego — so I read the report at 5:02 a.m., planning to publish something on it (I had expected to do a simple cut-and-paste of it) by 5:10 or so.
Instead, it has taken me two hours beyond that — because I am absolutely FURIOUS about what I read!
I knew full well that PCCC had endorsed Sen. Warren’s former student Katie Porter in CA-45 (Walters’s seat) and — startling local leftist activists — corporate-friendly Dem Mike Levin in CA-49.(Issa’s former seat.) I expected that the poll should probably be treated as essentially “in house” for both candidates. But even then, I was not prepared for what I found.
In CA-45, Porter did best among Democrats, leading the pack, and did comparably well to her arch-nemesis fellow UCI Law professor Dave Min, (I support neither: I like Kia Hamdancy and Brian Forde.)
In CA-49, PCCC reported only that Mike Levin outpaced Republican co-leader, Marine Colonel Rocky Chavez.
PCCC did not report a one-on-one matchup between Democratic leader Doug Applegate and Chavez — or any other Republican.
PCCC did not report on a matchup between Applegate and Levin (with or without others), as it did with Porter in CA-45.
Now, if we consider this in effect an in-house poll conducted on behalf of Levin — and now I definitely do — there’s no ethical reason that PCCC has to report any results that reflect badly on its candidate. (It does raise the issue of whether this poll should be considered an independent expenditure, if they’re not promoting it as “news,” but that’s a discussion for another time.)
However, the juxtaposition of the CA-45 and ca-49 reports DOES give rise to some reasonable inferences!
PRESUMPTION 1: PCCC probably cares A LOT MORE about Katie Porter — who has actual ties to Sen. Warren — than about Mike Levin.
PRESUMPTION 2: PCCC would thus be more inclined to protect Porter than Levin.
PRESUMPTION 3: While it is POSSIBLE that PCCC simply chose not to include Doug Applegate in any of its polling, it is SUCH A WEIRD CHOICE that it would harm the group’s reputation if they had actually excluded him. They didn’t even exclude Kia Hamadanchy from CA-45, for God’s sake!
PRESUMPTION 4: They probably did poll Doug Applegate against Mike Levin — they should care about that, right? — and probably against Col. Chavez as well.
PRESUMPTION 5: If the results for Levin compared to Applegate were as good as those for Katie Porter compared to Dave Min — a virtual tie — they would have reported them.
PRESUMPTION 6: In fact, given Presumption 2 above, if the results for Levin compared to Applegate were anywhere near as good as those for Katie Porter compared to Dave Min —they would still have reported them!
CONCLUSION 1: If PCCC did the normal, rational, admirable thing and include Doug Applegate in its poll, APPLEGATE MUST BE ABSOLUTELY CREAMING LEVIN. I mean, losing by something like a 2:1 margin — in which event delegates wanting to avoid an R-on-R runoff between Chavez and Harkey should be pouring over to Applegate’s side this weekend!
CONCLUSION 2: The bottom line that they report in mass-email about their poll — that “We commissioned a few California district polls: … Katie Porter is strong in California 45, and Mike Levin is strong in California 49″ is almost PAINFULLY misleading. And I don’t consider misleading people to be a progressive value.
CONCLUSION 3: Asking Adam Green whether they did poll Applegate or not — and why, when they polled the whole field in CA-45 ans should have known that Applegate was at minimum a leading contender — would be cruel. Green would not be the first pretty damned excellent progressive to receive contact poisoning from touching Orange County’s Democratic political establishment, which lives for such moments as crushing the Berniecrat to favor the Hillaryman. So I’m not going to ask him whether they polled Applegate and if so why they didn’t report the results — although I’ll email him this link and invite him to comment here without editing (although not without rebuttal), and I implore you all to treat him with respect. although you should feel welcome to nicely asking him whatever questions you think need to be answered.. Instead, I’m going to ask YOU READERS — and I hope that you will share this post broadly — this question:
HAVE YOU BEEN POLLED ON TUES. FEB. 20 OR WED. FEB. 21 ON THE CA-49 RACE. IF THE POLL ASKED ABOUT A MATCH-UP BETWEEN MIKE LEVIN AND ROCKY CHAVEZ, DID IT ALSO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT DOUG APPLEGATE?
Below, we’ll present the results of a three-day poll started two weeks ago by the San Diego Union-Tribune, which covers all serious (and some less serious) candidates in the race, and then the results emailed out by PCCC today.
(2) San Diego Media Poll Results for CA-49: Applegate 18, Chavez 17; Harkey at 10, Levin at 8, Gaspar 7, Jacobs 5
I don’t see a link to a polling memo — it’s Survey USA, for the SDUT and a local TV station, and last I checked they’re far less forthcoming than PPP — but the bottom line (based on 520 “touches” from 2/10-13) is:
(D) Doug Applegate 18
(R) Rocky Chavez 17
(R) Diane Harkey 10
(D) Mike Levin 8
(R) SD Supv. Kristin Gaspar 7
(D) Sarah Jacobs 5
(?) Brian Maryott 2
(?) Joshua Schoonover 2
(D) Paul Kerr 1
(D) Christine Prejean 1
(P&F) Jordan Mills 0
(Lbt) Joshua Hancock 0
To save you some trouble, that sums to 71%, with 29% unaccounted for. Again, both leaders are retired Marine Colonels. Partisanship be damned in this district — in a runoff, many votes for the one who didn’t make a runoff would go to the one who did. This district is just drawn to be very very military friendly!

Oppose 7%
Q. Enact a national health plan in which all Americans would get their insurance through an expanded, universal form of Medicare.
Q. Give all Americans the choice of buying health insurance through Medicare or private insurers, which would provide competition for insurance companies and more options for consumers.
Q. Provide federal financial assistance to states to make public colleges and universities more affordable, so that all students have access to debt-free college education in America.
Q. Protect Net Neutrality, the rule that protects equal access to the Internet, so that your phone or cable company cannot pick which websites work fast or slowly on your computer based on which company pays them the most money.
Q. Fully investigate Russia’s involvement in the 2016 presidential election, and if any Americans broke the law, prosecute and jail them.
These polls obviously have some good information about voter preferences on issues, and for that I do thank PCCC, as well as for what looks like solid and straightforward polling in CA-45. But overall, given whichever explanation they adopt regarding omitting Applegate from their CA-49 poll, this is very disappointing — except for PCCC’s inadvertently reinforcing the likelihood of an Applegate victory.

About Greg Diamond
Somewhat verbose attorney, semi-retired due to disability, residing in northwest Brea. Occasionally runs for office against bad people who would otherwise go unopposed. Got 45% of the vote against Bob Huff for State Senate in 2012; Josh Newman then won the seat in 2016. In 2014 became the first attorney to challenge OCDA Tony Rackauckas since 2002; Todd Spitzer then won that seat in 2018. Every time he's run against some rotten incumbent, the *next* person to challenge them wins! He's OK with that. Deposed as Northern Vice Chair of DPOC in April 2014 (in violation of Roberts Rules) when his anti-corruption and pro-consumer work in Anaheim infuriated the Building Trades and Teamsters in spring 2014, who then worked with the lawless and power-mad DPOC Chair to eliminate his internal oversight. Expelled from DPOC in October 2018 (in violation of Roberts Rules) for having endorsed Spitzer over Rackauckas -- which needed to be done. None of his pre-putsch writings ever spoke for the Democratic Party at the local, county, state, national, or galactic level, nor do they now. One of his daughters co-owns a business offering campaign treasurer services to Democratic candidates and the odd independent. He is very proud of her. He doesn't directly profit from her work and it doesn't affect his coverage. (He does not always favor her clients, though she might hesitate to take one that he truly hated.) He does advise some local campaigns informally and (so far) without compensation. (If that last bit changes, he will declare the interest.)

I reported on that Survey USA poll in the comments section last night, I guess you didn’t see. Yes, Doug IS beating Mike 2-to-1 in more credible polls. And he’s 1 point ahead of Rocky too.
The Liberal OC’s Dan C put up a stupid story yesterday that totally SPECULATED that Doug might drop out of the C-49 race and go for San Diego Board of Supes instead. This morning he discovered that the deadline to file for Supervisor has passed. So did Dan say, “My bad, it was a dumb rumor that I believed and passed along, maybe I’ll even take down the story?” Of course not. He says, “I guess Doug can’t read the calendar.” ‘Tard.
He’s also as I mentioned last night, started to drag out the old Issa-invented slander about Doug’s old marriage. I’m sure the moment he hears about this latest parody of a poll, he’ll slap that right up on the Fib OC as well.
Desperation creates flop sweat.
This post will be read widely — please don’t edit it and don’t forget to boost it on FB — so out of politesse I’m going to omit discussion of “PR Professional” Dan’s relationship with the truth.
I’ve invited Adam Green to post here. He wrote me privately in response to a message (he had not yet read this post), and while I don’t want to quote him he reminded me of the folly of unnecessary attributions to others intentions. I can accept that. I think that reaching your hand into OC politics risks contact poisoning — and it can happen to the best of them, a category in which I include PCCC. I think that for “local informants” he was perhaps relying on people whose intentions CAN fairly be judged ill. It happens.
I think I can read between those lines.
You in SD yet?
Nope. I was going to be arriving around now, but all of this has taken up a lot more of my time than expected. As I said, this post was going to be a 10 minute job — turned out to be more like three hours once you throw in sharing it and talking to Adam Green.
I’ve now spoken to Adam Green. He denies any ill intent and explained that most of the polls that they did at the same time as the CA-49 poll were intended to show that the “issue environment” was one that made it safe to take progressive positions on issues this year. The CA-45 poll was the sole exception, where their primary motive was to see how Katie Porter was doing in this district — and that explains what I think looks like a sinister juxtaposition (whether or not it is one.) He readily admits that the timing of the release — in which I’ve been complicit, even if not with the desired effect — was to influence delegates votes in today’s votes.
I’m partially satisfied with his explanation (regarding the CA-45/49 juxtaposition) and partially not. The decision to endorse Levin, followed by the decision to (wittingly or not) bolster the party establishment’s narrative that Levin is the one to watch and Applegate can be dismissed — the teeth of which are broken by the SDUT poll — is very wrong-headed and the effect behind it is corrosive, whatever it’s intent. Levin is not progressive other than by OC’s odd definition of the term as “culturally libertarian,” while Applegate embodies its traditional economic reformist elements. The endorsement was bad enough — compounding it in the way this poll has, whatever its intent, simply compounds the error. I told him that I just flat-out didn’t WANT to know who he had been in touch with to get his information out here — I’d like to be relatively relaxed before my two-hour drive! — but that we can talk about that soon.
In summary: good guy, probably got a bit duped, and the juxtaposition (which included two OC seats out of only three reported) is informing in its time and its effect, even if it was not intended as being as dismissive of Applegate as it appears. I wish that they’d just stuck to issue polling if that was what they cared about rather than — how does the media put it? — “meddling in our elections.” And I hope that as many delegates as possible read this post before they vote this afternoon.

Boy. Thanks for that.
Can you please tell us how else to vote and what we should wear, how about dinner instructions too…….

You should wear a shirt and underwear made of wolf hair. You should eat nothing but thistles for dinner. This is customized for you alone, of course.
Tell me what districts you’re in and eventually I’ll have a full set of recommendations.

Did you do a post on the Levin Eleven? These are the eleven progressive Democratic Party delegates that the Levin campaign tried to have removed as delegates before the convention because they were not going to endorse Levin. And, where is the story about conservative charter-school king Bill Bloomfield spending over $80,000 on mailers for Levin? And why did the CTA endorse Levin when he is being bankrolled by a guy intent on destroying teachers’ unions?
The PCCC endorsement is outrageous, but the outrage continues.

CITY CHARITY PERFORMS HEART TREATMENT IN MAURITIUS
November 18th, 2016 News
A team from Leicester based charity, Healing Little Hearts, have spent a week on the island of Mauritius, performing lifechanging operations on young children in desperate need of medical care.
The trip, organised by RB Infinity Investment, gave Dr Phillip Arnold and Dr Arjamand Shauq the opportunity to offer their skills to children from the age of 18 months in need of corrective treatment for congenital heart disease, without which, many would face premature death.
An estimated one percent of the world’s population is born with some sort of heart abnormality, a high proportion of which will require intervention throughout their lifetime to treat their condition. In many countries, access to these high-tech procedures is limited, particularly for children.
The Healing Little Hearts charity was founded in 2007 to provide free heart treatment to infants and children in India. More recently, the charity has widened its scope, now offering the same medical care to patients across Africa and Malaysia.

Dr Arnold, a Consultant Anaesthetist from the Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool, said: “As doctors we’re trained to treat people who have illness. I think in many ways it’s an injustice that economics and politics denies some people in the world treatment which they would benefit from. It’s an opportunity for me to at least in some way address that and to use my specific skill set in order to try and do something about this.”
Treatment took place at the Port Louis Cardiac Surgery Centre, in the island’s capital city. A total of 22 operations were performed in all.

Dr Arjamand Shauq, a Congenital Cardiologist also from Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, said: “I want to treat children, wherever they are in the world. If they don’t have the facilities locally, I can provide my services. It is satisfying as a doctor to treat children who need the treatment.”
Minister of Health and Quality of Life for Mauritius, Anil Gayan, expressed his gratitude to those involved. Mr Gayan said: “We are very grateful to this team to have come all the way from the United Kingdom, the Healing Little Hearts charity, to operate on our young kids in Mauritius.

“We are very appreciative of the quality of work they have done and I’m sure the parents whose kids have been operated on will be very grateful to the team, who have done so much marvellous work.”
Dr Sanjiv Nichani, Founder of Healing Little Hearts (HLH), said: “We hope this will be the beginning of a long lasting collaboration between HLH and RB Infinity Investment to treat the poorest children born with heart defects in Mauritius.”

SIGNIFICANT OZONE HOLE REMAINS OVER ANTARCTICA
Etiquetas: Meteorology
The Antarctic ozone hole, which fluctuates throughout the late winter and spring in the southern hemisphere, reached its 2009 peak circumference in late September, according to measurements by NOAA researchers. Slightly smaller than the North American continent, the ozone hole covered 9.2 million square miles, according to NOAA satellite observations. This ranks as the 10th largest since satellite measurements began in 1979.
Ozone over South Pole Station, Antarctica, also reached its thinnest point of the year on Sept. 26. Measured in Dobson Units (DU) that indicate the amount of ozone in a vertical column of air, the 2009 low level – 98 DU – is the seventh smallest since 1986. The record low of 89 DU was recorded on Oct. 6, 1993.
The atmospheric ozone layer protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. However, it has been damaged by human-produced compounds known as chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, which release ozone-destroying bromine and chlorine into the atmosphere. International agreements have strictly limited the use of CFCs since the early 1990s.
“The Montreal Protocol has been effective in reducing emissions of long-lived CFC gases, but high enough concentrations remain in the atmosphere to lead to significant ozone destruction in polar regions,” said Bryan Johnson, project leader for the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory Ozonesonde Group in Boulder, Colo. “Monitoring ozone over Antarctica provides the essential yardstick to see whether we are on the predicted track for recovery based on the current rate of declining CFCs.” Although CFCs are slowly decreasing in the atmosphere, scientists project that the ozone hole will not fully recover before 2060.
Extreme cold, ice cloud formation in the stratosphere, and a pattern of rapidly circulating air, called the polar vortex, make the ozone layer over Antarctica much more vulnerable to CFC-destruction than anywhere else.
The Antarctic ozone hole reaches its maximum in early spring in the Southern Hemisphere as the South Pole emerges from months of continuous wintertime darkness. At polar dawn, sunlight drives the chemical reactions in which the accumulated chlorine and bromine atoms break down ozone. Scientists expect the ozone hole to gradually disappear as CFC levels fall over the next several decades.
Since 1986, the NOAA Ozonesonde Group has been measuring the extent of the ozone hole vertically over Antarctica with balloons that carry ozone-measuring instruments into the stratosphere. NOAA polar-orbiting satellites probe the area the ozone hole covers as it expands and contracts seasonally.
Work on the ground from NOAA’s South Pole Station can be difficult in temperatures approaching -100 degrees F. NOAA engineer Patrick Cullis and NOAA Corps officer Marc Weekley have nearly completed a year-long assignment at South Pole Station where they collect atmospheric data and keep instruments operating. They launch balloons to measure ozone vertically once each week all year and more frequently, three or more times per week, in the spring.
“It's actually been hardest to launch during the long dawn before sunrise,” Cullis said. “The landscape starts to brighten, but there are no shadows to warn you of the large clumps of snow left in your path by the movement of bulldozers. Plus, this year, the polar dawn brought an intense 35-knot storm lasting over a week. Even during lulls in the storm, launching large plastic balloons was like running a 50-meter dash in soft snow. My lungs would burn from the combination of 10 pounds of gear, soft snow, and thin air.”
Antarctic ozone hole data from these balloon launches and other NOAA measurements is archived online. The measurements and observations are part of NOAA’s suite of climate services.

How Low Can You Go, Vol. 3 - Beating the Defense
Discover new wrinkles and scoring opportunities to the ever-evolving low single-leg attack
Attack with a low single-leg when in contact with your opponent
Counter the newest defenses to the low single-leg attack
Use the threat and pressure of a good low single attack to set up a number of other scoring opportunities from the neutral position
"Incredibly unique, well thought out and complex. Full of stuff that I've never seen before. Really builds off the low single position and the counters others use to try and stuff it." - Customer Review
with John Smith,
Oklahoma State University Head Coach,
5x NCAA Championship coach, 2016 NCAA Runners-Up;
2016 Big 12 Coach of the Year - 9x Big 12 Coach of the Year;
2016 Big 12 Champions - 16 Big 12 Conference Championships;
2x Olympic Gold Medalist,
6x World Champion,
2x NCAA Champion
Legendary NCAA coach and Olympic Gold Medalist John Smith created a technique that was revolutionary 20-30 years ago. What was once thought as almost unstoppable has since become the norm. Now, Coach Smith brings an entirely new series that will revolutionize the low single once again.
The low single-leg takedown should be a staple of every wrestler's arsenal. As the move has evolved over the years, the defense to stop it has changed as well. Coach Smith traces the evolution of the low single-leg takedown and makes modifications to the technique in order to help wrestlers counter defenses created specifically to combat it. He also goes over how to make the low single available from a contact position.
Low Single from Contact: The Snatch Low Single
Traditionally, the low single-leg takedown has been most effect from the outside, requiring space to shoot in and get below an opponent's defense. However, by making a few adjustments to the technique, Coach Smith shows how to get the takedown from an inside attack, using what he calls a reach or "snatch" entry. Now, wrestlers will feel comfortable hitting the low single from a variety of control ties.
Countering Low Single-Leg Defense: Scrambles
Wrestling has changed throughout the years and scrambling has become a natural part of the sport at all levels. Whether it's a knee down, a leg across, an ankle grab, or an attempt at a roll or cradle, Coach Smith shows how to counter the most-frequently deployed defenses against the low single-leg takedown - many of which have been inspired by funk wrestling.
Coach Smith stresses the most important aspects of winning a scramble: covering your ankles, getting your head higher than your opponent's and using the cross face. Similarly, he covers techniques from previous videos, such as peek outs and drags as offensive tools from missed shots, to illustrate how there are scoring opportunities from both good and bad shots.
The great piece of this technique is that it is applicable to both folkstyle and freestyle!
Scoring Off the Threat of a Low Single
Just the threat of a low single-leg can set up offense for a different takedown. Coach Smith uses a "touch and go" philosophy to turn jabs, fake shots, and an opponent's natural reactions into scoring opportunities from snap downs, inside ties, and even a "jump throw."
Coach Smith illustrates six takedowns that are opened up by the low single-leg. The "drag out" is becoming a popular takedown that is set up by the low single-leg. Coach Smith covers each takedown in full detail to help ensure a clear understanding of the technique to help every wrestler be able to score points.
He finishes his series with a throw that is set up from the low single. It's ironic that one of the greatest leg attackers in the world has set up a throw that is devastating to the opponent once they get out of position. The throw is low risk and has a high level of effectiveness.
Coach Smith does an amazing job of breaking down simple and complicated techniques and positions so that even inexperienced wrestlers can understand. This video is the perfect compliment to How Low Can You Go, Vol. 2. It answers all the most common "what if" questions wrestlers and coaches have regarding the low single-leg takedown.

Episode 15: I Stood on the Bridge at Inspection, As the Admiral Was Berating the Crewmen
Slow down, will ya?
The elevator, naturally, was in a hurry to get to the bridge, but Captain Clerk wished it'd savor the journey. In the scarce moments before they arrived, Clerk tried some of those relaxation techniques the Ship's Counselor keeps trying to get him to do. At least he managed to keep from noticeably panicking.
The doors opened up to the Bridge, where the crewmembers -- who were still scurrying around trying to get things together -- promptly froze in place. Even the computers seemed to have turned the volume down on their normal beeps and bloops.
Except one.
The DVR component wasn't a standard feature of ships' Bridge consoles, but Clerk didn't see anything in Fleet Regulations specifically against it, so... you get the idea. Unfortunately, being nonstandard equipment, it didn't follow all the protocols the other ones did... like shut up when the Admiral is around.
"Captain, your prerecorded program is ready! Would you like to view it?"
"No, not right--"
"Yes," the Admiral interrupted.
Clerk tried frantically to come up with some kind of response that might dissuade the Admiral from going forward with this, but Nezbomb's "yes" was the unpleasant, definitive sound of inevitability. Staying silent, the Captain accepted his fate.
"Coming right up!" the DVR console happily responded, immediately displaying the show on the Main Screen.
"And in this corner, weighing 320 lbs, the J'Tim'blak Regional Champion, T'Kobor the Maleficent!"
"Klingon boxing?" the Admiral asked indignantly over the prerecorded sounds of cheering. "You're using the Bridge's Main Screen to watch Klingon boxing?"
As bad as Clerk wanted to say "Well, what else is a sweet HD screen like that for?", he knew better, but the only alternative he had ready was his usual nervous babbling, which wasn't a particularly effective response either.
"Turn that mess off!"
Ensign Tolstoy promptly did so, and scurried off to hide behind Wharf.
Admiral Nezbomb's tone mellowed slightly -- but only slightly. "Jimi, I'm disappointed in you. Not surprised, not angry..." Uh huh. "... just disappointed. It's one thing to leave your room a bit untidy. It's another thing altogether to engage in blatant misuse of Fleet resources. I nev--" Nezbomb stopped in his tracks. That's when he saw the clown.
The Admiral's face was a mix of confusion, surprise, and wrath. He slowly walked over to the Science Station, where before his vigilantly inspecting eyes was a full-bore, dyed-in-the-wool, full-makeup-and-everything clown. He stood there for several seconds, staring wide-eyed. Once he'd seen enough, he quickly spun around and marched back to the Captain.
"Do my eyes deceive me," he said evenly yet angrily, "but do I see a clown on the Bridge?"
"Yes, sir. That's Ensign Kazoo."
"Tell me, Captain James Clerk, why Mr. Kazoo is not wearing a standard uniform?"
"Well... I... uh..."
"It's Casual Day!" Ensign Kazoo uttered enthusiastically, honking his horn.
You're not helping, Ensign.
"Oh really?" the Admiral responded. "Well why didn't I put on my Bermuda shorts and Hawaiian shirt? Oh, that's right! Because when I went to the Academy, they taught me that we always wear our uniforms when on duty! So might I suggest you leave your post right now and go dig through your wardrobe until you either find something you were issued when you became a crewmember, or get whisked away to a magical land of make-believe! At this point, I don't care which!"
Kazoo looked to Clerk, who put on his best "there's-nothing-I-can-do" face.
"Sorry... standard uniform, Mr. Kazoo," the Captain said softly as a very sad clown walked across the Bridge to the elevator.
As the Bridge Crew continued to stand in silence, Admiral Nezbomb walked over to Clerk and put his arm around the Captain's shoulder.
"Now Jimi," the Admiral said in an uncharacteristically soothing tone. "It might seem like I'm being a hard-nosed jerk about everything..." Then he turned to face Clerk directly. "BUT THAT'S WHAT I DO!"
The Captain froze in place as Nezbomb stormed off the Bridge. He continued to stay there, like a statue, until 15 minutes before the end of the shift, when "Happy Trails" began to play on the ship's intercom. Slowly, he relaxed and finally got his bearings.
"That really happened, didn't it?" Clerk, still in a daze, said to Lt. Whatsisname.
"I'm afraid it did, sir."
The Captain sighed heavily. Getting fired may be the least of my troubles. "So... where did he head off to?"
"I don't know, sir. He didn't say and we were all afraid to ask. And to be honest, I know I for one didn't even want to know."
"Can't blame you there. Computer?"
"Where is Admiral Nezbomb? Or rather, where has he been, and where is he going?"
"After leaving the bridge, Admiral Nezbomb went to inspect the Main Conference Rooms, the Biology Labs, and the Topiary Gardens. Currently he is en route to The Port."
"Oh no..." Clerk, Wharf and Whatsisname all said in unison.
Boy did I ever pick a lousy time to quit taking my blood pressure medicine. "Wharf, come with me. Lieutenant, call Dr. Flüshaht and Yeoman Rind and have them meet us at The Port."

Communists warn of 'real and escalating' war danger

The Communist Party of Britain has warned that the danger of a military strike against Iran and a new war in the Middle East has not disappeared. In a statement issued today (Sunday, June 23), General Secretary Robert Griffiths said:
'The US and British military build-up in the region is real and escalating, replicating what happened before the disastrous bombing and invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Until President Trump aborted the mission on Thursday night, the US military was about to launch air strikes to kill - by its own admission - at least 150 Iranian citizens, in retaliation for the loss of an unmanned US drone that was almost certainly violating Iranian airspace.
'The pretext for Western aggression is the attack on two tankers in the Gulf of Oman, for which the US and British governments hold Iran responsible on the flimsiest of evidence.
'There is no rational explanation for why the Iranian regime would attack a Japanese cargo ship and two boatloads of Iranian exports bound for Japan at the very time that Japan's Prime Minister is visiting Tehran to mediate between the Iranian and US governments.
'This crisis was provoked by the decision of US President Trump to withdraw unilaterally from the UN-backed "P5+1" deal with the USA, Germany, Britain, France, Russia and China whereby Iran drastically curtailed its nuclear programme so that it can only be used for civilian purposes. Since that withdrawal, US state power has imposed a wide range of vicious economic and financial sanctions which have devastated the Iranian economy and condemned millions of workers and their families to unemployment, poverty and hunger.
'The real motive for escalating this issue into a military confrontation is that powerful forces in the US political-military-industrial complex see Iran as a barrier to US domination of the strategically important greater Middle East region.
'The Iranian regime is accused of 'meddling' in the affairs of various Middle East countries by Western powers whose bombings and occupations have turned the region into a killing field, where hundreds of thousands of people have been killed and millions more have fled their homes.
'The US and British war criminals who caused this bloodshed have yet to be brought to trial. Likewise, their allies in Israel and Saudi Arabia have yet to face justice for their barbarous attacks on the peoples of Palestine and Yemen, respectively.
'A military attack on Iran will plunge the region deeper into bloodshed and set back the struggle for democracy and social justice in that country by enabling the reactionary, theocratic regime in Tehran to pose as the defenders of national sovereignty.
'Western military intervention in the Middle East must end. Britain must cease playing 'Little Mr Echo' to every US President, trumpeting the same crude propaganda before following the US military into its murderous adventures.
'This latest crisis also underlines the need for a left-led Labour government that will break from the US-NATO-EU alliance to pursue a genuinely independent foreign policy based on social justice and solidarity between the world's peoples'.
Britain's Communists have signed a joint statement with scores of other Communist and workers' parties condemning Western sanctions and threats of war against Iran, including the Tudeh Party of Iran and parties from Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, France, Russia, Turkey, India and South Africa.

Defending TCP Against Spoofing Attacks
Recent analysis of potential attacks on core Internet infrastructure
indicates an increased vulnerability of TCP connections to spurious
resets (RSTs), sent with forged IP source addresses (spoofing). TCP
has always been susceptible to such RST spoofing attacks, which were
indirectly protected by checking that the RST sequence number was
inside the current receive window, as well as via the obfuscation of
TCP endpoint and port numbers. For pairs of well-known endpoints
often over predictable port pairs, such as BGP or between web servers
and well-known large-scale caches, increases in the path bandwidth-
delay product of a connection have sufficiently increased the receive
window space that off-path third parties can brute-force generate a
viable RST sequence number. The susceptibility to attack increases
with the square of the bandwidth, and thus presents a significant
vulnerability for recent high-speed networks. This document
addresses this vulnerability, discussing proposed solutions at the
transport level and their inherent challenges, as well as existing
network level solutions and the feasibility of their deployment.
This document focuses on vulnerabilities due to spoofed TCP segments,
and includes a discussion of related ICMP spoofing attacks on TCP
connections.

Analysis of the Internet infrastructure has recently demonstrated a
new version of a vulnerability in BGP connections between core
routers using an attack based on RST spoofing from off-path attackers
[9][10][48]. The attack itself is not new, having been documented
nearly six years earlier [20]. Such connections, typically using
TCP, can be susceptible to off-path third-party reset (RST) segments
with forged source addresses (spoofed), which terminate the TCP
connection. BGP routers react to a terminated TCP connection in
various ways, which can amplify the impact of an attack, ranging from
restarting the connection to deciding that the other router is
unreachable and thus flushing the BGP routes [37]. This sort of
attack affects other protocols besides BGP, involving any long-lived
connection between well-known endpoints. The impact on the Internet
infrastructure can be substantial (especially for the BGP case), and
warrants immediate attention.
TCP, like many other protocols, can be susceptible to these off-path
third-party spoofing attacks. Such attacks rely on the increase of
commodity platforms supporting public access to previously privileged
resources, such as system-level (i.e., root) access. Given such
access, it is trivial for anyone to generate a packet with any header
desired.
This, coupled with the lack of sufficient address filtering to drop
such spoofed traffic, can increase the potential for off-path third-
party spoofing attacks [9][10][48]. Proposed solutions include the
deployment of existing Internet network and transport security as
well as modifications to transport protocols that reduce its
vulnerability to generated attacks [13][15][20][36][46].
One way to defeat spoofing is to validate the segments of a
connection, either at the transport level or the network level. TCP
with MD5 extensions provides this authentication at the transport
level, and IPsec provides authentication at the network level
[20][24][27]. In both cases, their deployment overhead may be
prohibitive, e.g., it may not be feasible for public services, such
as web servers, to be configured with the appropriate certificate
authorities of large numbers of peers (for IPsec using the Internet
Key Exchange Protocol (IKE)), or shared secrets (for IPsec in
shared-secret mode, or TCP/MD5), because many clients may need to be
configured rapidly without external assistance. Services located on
public web servers connecting to large-scale caches or BGP with
larger numbers of peers can fall into this category.
The remainder of this document outlines the recent attack scenario in
detail and describes and compares a variety of solutions, including
existing solutions based on TCP/MD5 and IPsec, as well as recently
proposed solutions, including modifications to TCP's RST processing
[36], modifications to TCP's timestamp processing [34], and
modifications to IPsec and TCP/MD5 keying [45]. This document
focuses on spoofing of TCP segments, although a discussion of related
spoofing of ICMP packets based on spoofed TCP contents is also
Note that the description of these attacks is not new; attacks using
RSTs on BGP have been known since 1998, and were the reason for the
development of TCP/MD5 [20]. The recent attack scenario was first
documented by Convery at a NANOG (North American Network Operators'
Group) meeting in 2003, but that analysis assumed the entire sequence
space (2^32 packets) needed to be covered for an attack to succeed
[10]. Watson's more detailed analysis discovered that a single
packet anywhere in the current window could succeed at an attack
[48]. This document adds the observation that susceptibility to
attack is directly proportional to the square of bandwidth, due to
the coupling between the linear increase in receive window size and
linear increase in rate of a potential attack, as well as comparing
the variety of more recent proposals, including modifications to TCP,
use of IPsec, and use of TCP/MD5 to resist such attacks.
2. Background
The recent analysis of potential attacks on BGP has again raised the
issue of TCP's vulnerability to off-path third-party spoofing attacks
[9][10][48]. A variety of such attacks have been known for several
years, including sending RSTs, SYNs, and even ACKs in an attempt to
affect an existing connection or to load down servers. These attacks
often combine external knowledge (e.g., to indicate the IP addresses
to attack, the destination port number, and sometimes the Initial
Sequence Number (ISN)) with brute-force capabilities enabled by
modern computers and network bandwidths (e.g., to scan all source
ports or an entire window space). Overall, such attacks are
countered by the use of some form of authentication at the network
(e.g., IPsec), transport (e.g., SYN cookies, TCP/MD5), or other
layers. TCP already includes a weak form of such authentication in
its check of segment sequence numbers against the current receiver
window. Increases in the bandwidth-delay product for certain long
connections have sufficiently weakened this type of weak
authentication to make reliance on it inadvisable.
2.1. Review of TCP Windows
Before proceeding, it is useful to review the terminology and
components of TCP's windowing algorithm. TCP connections have three
kinds of windows [1][35]:
o Send window (SND.WND): the latest send window size.
o Receive window (RCV.WND): the latest advertised receive window
size.
o Congestion window (CWND): the window determined by congestion
feedback that limits how much of RCV.WND can be in-flight in a
round-trip time.
For TCP connections in most modern implementations, SND.WND and
RCV.WND are the size of the corresponding send and receive socket
buffers, and are configurable using socket buffer resizing commands.
CWND determines how much data can be in transit in a round-trip time,
SND.WND determines how much data the sender is willing to store on
its side for possible retransmission due to loss, and RCV.WND
determines the ability of the receiver to accommodate that loss and
reorder received packets. CWND never grows beyond RCV.WND.
High bandwidth-delay product networks need CWND to be sufficiently
large to accommodate as much data as can be in transit in a round
trip time; otherwise, their performance will suffer. As a result, it
is recommended that users and various automatic programs increase
RCV.WND to at least the size of bandwidth*delay (the bandwidth-delay
product) [23][38].
As the bandwidth-delay product of the network increases, however,
such increases in the advertised receive window can cause increased
susceptibility to spoofing attacks, as the remainder of this document
shows. This assumes, however, that the receive window size (e.g.,
via increased receive socket buffer configuration) is increased with
the increased bandwidth-delay product; if not, then connection
performance will degrade, but susceptibility to spoofing attacks will
increase only linearly (with the rate at which the attacker can send
spoofed packets), not as the square of the bandwidth. Note that
either increase depends on the receive window itself, and is
independent of the congestion state or amount of data transmitted.
2.2. Recent BGP Attacks Using TCP RSTs
BGP represents a particular vulnerability to spoofing attacks because
it uses TCP connectivity to infer routability, so losing a TCP
connection with a BGP peer can result in the flushing of routes to
that peer [37].
Until six years ago, such connections were assumed difficult to
attack because they were described by a few comparatively obscure
parameters [20]. Most TCP connections are protected by multiple
levels of obfuscation except at the endpoints of the connection:
o Both endpoint addresses are usually not well-known; although
server addresses are advertised, clients are somewhat anonymous.
o Both port numbers are usually not well-known; the server's is
usually advertised (representing the service), but the client's is
typically sufficiently unpredictable to an off-path third-party.
o Valid sequence number space is not well-known.
o Connections are relatively short-lived and valid sequence space
changes, so any attempt to guess (e.g., by external knowledge or
brute force) the above information is unlikely to be useful.
BGP represents an exception to the above criteria (though not the
only case). Both endpoints can be well-known, or guessed using hints
from part of an AS path. The destination port is typically fixed to
indicate the BGP service. The source port used by a BGP router is
sometimes fixed and advertised to enable firewall configuration; even
when not fixed, there are only approximately 65,000 valid source
ports, which thus may be exhaustively attacked. Connections are
long- lived, and, as noted before, some BGP implementations interpret
successive TCP connection failures as routing failures, discarding
the corresponding routing information. In addition, the valid
sequence number space once thought to provide some protection has
been significantly weakened by increasing advertised receive window
2.3. TCP RST Vulnerability
TCP has a known vulnerability to third-party spoofed segments. SYN
flooding consumes server resources in half-open connections,
affecting the server's ability to open new connections [4][11]. ACK
spoofing can cause connections to transmit too much data too quickly,
creating network congestion and segment loss, causing connections to
slow to a crawl. In the most recent attacks on BGP, RSTs cause
connections to be dropped. As noted earlier, some BGP
implementations interpret TCP connection termination, or a series of
such failures, as a network failure [37]. This causes routers to
drop the BGP routing information already exchanged, in addition to
inhibiting their ongoing exchanges, thus amplifying the impact of the
attack. The result can affect routing paths throughout the Internet.
The dangerous effects of RSTs on TCP have been known for many years,
even when used by the legitimate endpoints of a connection. TCP RSTs
cause the receiver to drop all connection state; because the source
is not required to maintain a TIME_WAIT state, such a RST can cause
premature reuse of address/port pairs, potentially allowing segments
from a previous connection to contaminate the data of a new
connection, known as TIME_WAIT assassination [8]. In this case,
assassination occurs inadvertently as the result of duplicate
segments from a legitimate source, and can be avoided by blocking RST
processing while in TIME_WAIT. However, assassination can be useful
to deliberately reduce the state held at servers; this requires that
the source of the RSTs go into TIME_WAIT state to avoid such hazards,
and that RSTs are not blocked in the TIME_WAIT state [12].
Firewalls and load balancers, so-called 'middleboxes', sometimes emit
RSTs on behalf of transited connections to optimize server
performance, as noted in RFC 3360 [14]. This is effectively an on-
path RST attack in which the RSTs are sent for benign or beneficial
intent. There are numerous hazards with such use of RSTs, outlined
in that RFC.
2.4. What Changed - the Ever-Opening Advertised Receive Window
RSTs represent a hazard to TCP, especially when completely
unvalidated. Fortunately, there are a number of obfuscation
mechanisms that make it difficult for off-path third parties to forge
(spoof) valid RSTs, as noted earlier. We have already shown it is
easy to learn both endpoint addresses and ports for some protocols,
notably BGP. The final obfuscation is the segment sequence number.
TCP segments include a sequence number, which enables out-of-order
receiver processing as well as duplicate detection. The sequence
number space is also used to manage congestion, and indicates the
index of the next byte to be transmitted or received. For RSTs, this
is relevant because legitimate RSTs use the next sequence number in
the transmitter window, and the receiver checks that incoming RSTs
have a sequence number in the expected receive window. Such
processing is intended to eliminate duplicate segments (somewhat moot
for RSTs, though), and to drop RSTs that were part of previous
TCP uses two window mechanisms, a primary mechanism for reordering
and congestion control (which uses a space of 32 bits), and a
secondary mechanism that scales this window [23][35]. The valid
advertised receive window is a fraction, not to exceed approximately
half, of this space, or ~2 billion (2 * 10^9, i.e., 2E9 or 2 U.S.
billion). Under typical configurations, the majority of TCP
connections open to a very small fraction of this space, e.g.,
10,000-60,000(approximately 5-100 segments). This is because the
advertised receive window typically matches the receive socket buffer
size. It is recommended that this buffer be tuned to match the needs
of the connection, either manually or by automatic external means
On a low-loss path, the advertised receive window should be
configured to match the path bandwidth-delay product, including
buffering delays (assume 1 packet/hop) [38]. Many paths in the
Internet have end-to-end bandwidths of under 1 Mbps, latencies under
100 ms, and are under 15 hops, resulting in fairly small advertised
receive windows as above (under 35,000 bytes). Under these
conditions, and further assuming that the initial sequence number is
suitably (pseudo-randomly) chosen, a valid guessed sequence number
would have odds of 1 in 57,000 of falling within the advertised
receive window. Put differently, a blind (i.e., off-path) attacker
would need to send 57,000 RSTs with suitably spaced sequence number
guesses within one round-trip time to successfully reset a
connection. At 1 Mbps, 57,000 (40 byte) RSTs would take only 20
seconds to transmit, but this presumes that both IP addresses and
both ports are known. Absent knowledge of the source port, an off-
path spoofer would need to try at least the entire range of 49152-
65535, or 16,384 different ports, resulting in an attack that would
take over 91 hours. Because most TCP connections are comparatively
short-lived, even this moderate variation in the source port is
sufficient for such environments, although further port randomization
may be recommended [29].
Recent use of high bandwidth paths of 10 Gbps and higher results in
bandwidth-delay products over 125 MB -- approximately 1/10 of TCP's
overall maximum advertised receive window size (i.e., assuming the
receive socket buffers are increased as much as possible) excluding
scale, assuming the receiver allocates sufficient buffering (as
discussed in Section 2). Even under networks that are ten times
slower (1 Gbps), the active advertised receive window covers 1/100th
of the overall window size. At these speeds, it takes only 10-100
packets, or less than 32 microseconds, to correctly guess a valid
sequence number and kill a connection. A table of corresponding
exposure to various amounts of RSTs is shown below, for various line
rates, assuming the more conventional 100-ms latencies (though even
100 ms is large for BGP cases):
BW BW*delay RSTs needed Time needed
10 Gbps 125 MB 35 1 us (microsecond)
1 Gbps 12.5 MB 344 110 us
100 Mbps 1.25 MB 3,436 10 ms (millisecond)
10 Mbps 0.125 MB 34,360 1 second
1 Mbps 0.0125 MB 343,598 2 minutes
100 Kbps 0.00125 MB 3,435,974 3 hours
Figure 1: Time needed to kill a connection
This table demonstrates that the effect of bandwidth on the
vulnerability is squared; for every increase in bandwidth, there is a
linear decrease in the number of sequence number guesses needed, as
well as a linear decrease in the time needed to send a set of
guesses. Notably, as inter-router link bandwidths approach 1 Mbps,
an 'exhaustive' attack becomes practical. Checking that the RST
sequence number is somewhere in the advertised receive window, out of
the overall maximum receive window (2^32), is an insufficient
obfuscation.
Note that this table makes a number of assumptions:
1. The overall bandwidth-delay product is relatively fixed.
2. Traffic losses are negligible (insufficient to affect the
congestion window over the duration of most of the connection).
3. The advertised receive window is a large fraction of the overall
maximum receive window size, e.g., because the receive socket
buffers are set to match a large bandwidth-delay product.
4. The attack bandwidth is similar to the end-to-end path bandwidth.
Of these assumptions, the last two are more notable. The issue of
receive socket buffers was discussed in Section 2. Figure 1
summarized the time to a successful attack based on large advertised
receive windows, but many current commercial routers have limits of
128 KB for large devices, 32 KB for medium, and as little as 4 KB for
modest ones. Figure 2 shows the time and bandwidths needed to
accomplish an attack on BGP sessions in the time shown for 100-ms
latencies; for even short-range network latencies (10 ms), these
sessions can be still be attacked over short timescales (minutes to
hours).
BW Buffer Size RSTs needed Time needed
10 Mbps 0.128 MB 33,555 1 second
3 Mbps 0.032 MB 134,218 40 seconds
300 Kbps 0.004 MB 1,073,742 1 hour
Figure 2: Time needed to kill a connection with limited buffers
The issue of the attack bandwidth is considered reasonable as
1. RSTs are substantially easier to send than data; they can be
precomputed and they are smaller than data packets (40 bytes).
2. Although susceptible connections use somewhat less ubiquitous
high-bandwidth paths, the attack may be distributed, at which
point only the ingress link of the attack is the primary
limitation.
3. For the purposes of the above table, we assume that the ingress at
the attack has the same bandwidth as the path, as an
approximation.
The previous sections discussed the nature of the recent attacks on
BGP due to the vulnerability of TCP to RST spoofing attacks, due
largely to recent increases in the fraction of the TCP advertised
receive window space in use for a single, long-lived connection.
3. Proposed Solutions and Mitigations
TCP currently authenticates received RSTs using the address and port
pair numbers, and checks that the sequence number is inside the valid
receiver window. The previous section demonstrated how TCP has
become more vulnerable to RST spoofing attacks due to the increases
in the receive window size. There are a number of current and
proposed solutions to this vulnerability, all attempting to provide
evidence that a received RST is legitimate.
3.1. Transport Layer Solutions
The transport layer represents the last place that segments can be
authenticated before they affect connection management. TCP has a
variety of current and proposed mechanisms to increase the
authentication of segments, protecting against both off-path and on-
path third-party spoofing attacks. Other transport protocols, such
as SCTP and DCCP, also have limited antispoofing mechanisms.
Touch Informational [Page 10]
3.1.1. TCP MD5 Authentication
An extension to TCP supporting MD5 authentication was developed in
1998 specifically to authenticate BGP connections (although it can be
used for any TCP connection) [20]. The extension relies on a pre-
shared secret key to authenticate the entire TCP segment, including
the data, TCP header, and TCP pseudo-header (certain fields of the IP
header). All segments are protected, including RSTs, to be accepted
only when their signature matches. This option, although widely
deployed in Internet routers, is considered undeployable for
widespread use because the need for pre-shared keys [3][30]. It
further is considered computationally expensive for either hosts or
routers due to the overhead of MD5 [43][44].
There are also concerns about the use of MD5 due to recent collision-
based attacks [22]. Similar concerns exist for SHA-1, and the IETF
is currently evaluating how these attacks impact the recommendation
for using these hashes, both in TCP/MD5 and in the IPsec suite. For
the purposes of this discussion, the particular algorithm used in
either protocol suite is not the focus, and there is ongoing work to
allow TCP/MD5 to evolve to a more general TCP security option
[6][47].
3.1.2. TCP RST Window Attenuation
A recent proposal extends TCP to further constrain received RST to
match the expected next sequence number [36]. This restores TCP's
resistance to spurious RSTs, effectively limiting the receive window
for RSTs to a single number. As a result, an attacker would need to
send 2^32 different packets to brute-force guess the sequence number
(worst case, the average would be half that); this makes TCP's
vulnerability to attack independent of the size of the receive window
(RCV.WND). The extension further modifies the RST receiver to react
to incorrectly-numbered RSTs, by sending a zero-length ACK. If the
RST source is legitimate, upon receipt of an ACK, the closed source
would presumably emit a RST with the sequence number matching the
ACK, correctly resetting the intended recipient. This modification
changes TCP's control processing, adding to its complexity and thus
potentially affecting its correctness (in contrast to adding MD5
signatures, which is orthogonal to TCP control processing
altogether). For example, there may be complications between RSTs of
different connections between the same pair of endpoints because RSTs
flush the TIME-WAIT (as mentioned earlier). Further, this proposal
modifies TCP so that, under some circumstances, a RST causes a reply
(an ACK), in violation of generally accepted practice, if not gentle
recommendation -- although this can be omitted, allowing timeouts to
suffice. The advantage to this proposal is that it can be deployed
incrementally and has benefit to the endpoint on which it is
deployed. The other advantage to this proposal is that the window
attenuation described here makes the vulnerability to spoofed RST
packets independent of the size of the receive window.
A variant of this proposal uses a different value to attenuate the
window of viable RSTs. It requires RSTs to carry the initial
sequence number rather than the next expected sequence number, i.e.,
the value negotiated on connection establishment [42][49]. This
proposal has the advantage of using an explicitly negotiated value,
but at the cost of changing the behavior of an unmodified endpoint to
a currently valid RST. It would thus be more difficult, without
additional mechanism, to deploy incrementally.
Another variant of this proposal involves increasing TCP's window
space, rather than decreasing the valid range for RSTs, i.e.,
increasing the sequence space from 32 bits to 64 bits. This has the
equivalent effect -- the ratio of the valid sequence numbers for any
segment to the overall sequence number space is significantly
reduced. The use of the larger space, as with current schemes to
establish weak authentication using initial sequence numbers (ISNs),
is contingent on using suitably random values for the ISN. Such
randomness adds additional complexity to TCP both in specification
and implementation, and provides only very weak authentication. Such
a modification is not obviously backward compatible, and would be
thus difficult to deploy.
A converse variant of increasing TCP's window space is to decrease
the receive window (RCV.WND) explicitly, which would further reduce
the effectiveness of spoofed RSTs with random sequence numbers. This
alternative may reduce the throughput of the connection, if the
advertised receive window is smaller than the bandwidth-delay product
of the connection.
3.1.3. TCP Timestamp Authentication
Another way to authenticate TCP segments is via its timestamp option,
using the value as a sort of authentication [34]. This requires that
the receiver TCP discard segments whose timestamp is outside the
accepted window, which is derived from the timestamps of other
packets from the same connection. This technique uses an existing
TCP option, but also requires modified TCP control processing (with
the same caveats) and may be difficult to deploy incrementally
without further modifications. Additionally, the timestamp value may
be easier to guess because it can be derived predictably, either
assuming it represents actual time at the host, or by probing the
host using unrelated benign traffic.
3.1.4. Other TCP Cookies
All of the above techniques are variants of cookies, otherwise
meaningless data whose value is used to validate the packet. In the
case of MD5 checksums, the cookie is computed based on a shared
secret. Note that even a signature can be guessed, and presents a 1
in 2^(signature length) probability of attack. The primary
difference is that MD5 signatures are effectively one-time cookies,
not predictable based on on-path snooping, because they are dependent
on packet data and thus do not repeat. Window attenuation sequence
numbers can be guessed by snooping the sequence number of current
packets of an existing connection, and timestamps can be guessed even
less directly, either by separate benign connections or by assuming
they roughly correlate to local time. These variants of cookies are
similar in spirit to TCP SYN cookies, again patching a vulnerability
to off-path third-party spoofing attacks based on a (fairly weak,
excepting MD5) form of authentication. Another form of cookie is the
source port itself, which can be randomized but provides only 16 bits
of protection (65,000 combinations), which may be exhaustively
attacked. This can be combined with destination port randomization
as well, but that would require a separate coordination mechanism (so
both parties know which ports to use), which is equivalent to (and as
infeasible for large-scale deployments as) exchanging a shared secret
3.1.5. Other TCP Considerations
The analysis of the potential for RST spoofing above assumes that the
advertised receive window is opened to the maximum extent suggested
by the bandwidth-delay product of the end-to-end path, and that the
window is opened to an appreciable fraction of the overall sequence
number space. As noted earlier, for most common cases, connections
are too brief or over bandwidths too low for such a large window to
be useful. Expanding TCP's sequence number space is a direct way to
further avoid such vulnerability, even for long connections over
emerging bandwidths. If either manual tuning or automatic tuning of
the advertised receive window (via receive buffer tuning) is not
provided, this is not an issue (although connection performance will
suffer) [38].
It may be sufficient for the endpoint to limit the advertised receive
window by deliberately leaving it small. If the receive socket
buffer is limited, e.g., to the ubiquitous default of 64 KB, the
advertised receive window will not be as vulnerable even for very
long connections over very high bandwidths. The vulnerability will
grow linearly with the increased network speed, but not as the
square. The consequence is lower sustained throughput, where only
one window's worth of data per round-trip time (RTT) is exchanged.
This will keep the connection open longer; for long-lived connections
with continuous sourced data, this may continue to present an attack
opportunity, albeit a sparse and slow-moving target. For the most
recent case where BGP data is being exchanged between Internet
routers, the data is bursty and the aggregate traffic may be small
(i.e., unlikely to cover a substantial portion of the sequence space,
even if long-lived), so smaller advertised receive windows (via small
receiver buffers) may, in some cases, sufficiently address the
immediate problem. This assumes that the routing tables can be
exchanged quickly enough with bandwidth reduced due to the smaller
buffers, or perhaps that the advertised receive window is opened only
during a large burst exchange (e.g., via some other signal between
the two routers, or a time-based signal, though either would be
nonstandard).
3.1.6. Other Transport Protocol Solutions
Segment authentication has been addressed at the transport layer in
other protocols. Both SCTP and DCCP include cookies for connection
establishment and use them to authenticate a variety of other control
messages [28][41]. The inclusion of such mechanism at the transport
protocol, although emerging as standard practice, complicates the
design and implementation of new protocols [32]. As new attacks are
discovered (SYN floods, RSTs, etc.), each protocol must be modified
individually to compensate. A network solution may be more
appropriate and efficient.
It should be noted that RST attacks, which rely on brute-force, are
relatively easy for intrusion detection software to detect at the TCP
layer. Any connection that receives a large number of invalid --
outside-window -- RSTs might have subsequent RSTs blocked, to defeat
such attacks. This would have the side-effect of blocking legitimate
RSTs to that connection, which might then interfere with cleaning up
the transport state between the endpoint peers. This side-effect,
coupled with the increased monitoring load, might render such
solutions undesirable in the general case, but they might usefully be
applied to special cases, e.g., for BGP for routers.
3.2. Network Layer (IP) Solutions
There are two primary variants of network layer solutions to
spoofing: address filtering and IPsec. Address filtering is an
indirect system that relies on other parties to filter packets sent
upstream of an attack, but does not necessarily require participation
of the packet source. IPsec requires cooperation between the
endpoints wanting to avoid attack on their connection, which
currently involves preexisting shared knowledge of either a shared
key or shared certificate authority.
3.2.1. Address Filtering
Address filtering is often proposed as an alternative to protocol
mechanisms to defeat IP source address spoofing [2][13]. Address
filtering restricts traffic from downstream sources across transit
networks based on the IP source address. A kind of filtering already
occurs at the endpoints of a connection, because attack messages must
match the socket pair to succeed; again, note that such attacks
require knowing the entire socket pair, and are unlikely except in
particular cases. This section discusses filtering based on address
only, typically done at the borders of an AS.
It can also restrict core-to-edge paths to reject traffic that should
have originated further toward the edge. It cannot restrict traffic
from edges lacking filtering through the core to a particular edge.
As a result, each border router must perform the appropriate
filtering for overall protection to result; failure of any border
router to filter defeats the protection of all participants inside
the border, and potentially those outside as well. Address filtering
at the border can protect those inside the border from some kinds of
spoofing, i.e., connections among those inside a border, because only
interior addresses should originate inside the border. It cannot,
however, protect connections including endpoints outside the border
(i.e., those that traverse the AS boundary) except to restrict where
the traffic enters from, e.g., if it expected from one AS and not
As a result, address filtering is not a local solution that can be
deployed to protect communicating pairs, but rather relies on a
distributed infrastructure of trusted gateways filtering forged
traffic where it enters the network. It is not feasible for local,
incremental deployment, but may be applicable to connections among
those inside the protected border in some scenarios. Applying
filtering can also be useful to reduce the network load of spoofed
traffic [31].
A more recent variant of address filtering checks the IP TTL (Time to
Live) field, relying on the TTL set by the other end of the
connection [15]. This technique has been used to provide filtering
for BGP. It assumes the connection source TTL is set to 255; packets
at the receiver are checked for TTL=255, and others are dropped.
This restricts traffic to one hop upstream of the receiver (i.e., a
BGP router), but those hops could include other user programs at
those nodes (e.g., the BGP router's peer) or any traffic those nodes
accept via tunnels -- because tunnels need not decrement TTLs,
notably for "bump in the wire" (BITW) or BITW-equivalent scenarios
[33] (see also Section 5.1 of [15] and [16]). TTL filtering works
only where all traffic from the other end of the tunnel is trusted,
i.e., where it does not originate or transit spoofed traffic. The
use of TTL rather than link or network security also assumes an
untampered point-to-point link, where no other traffic can be spoofed
onto a link.
This method of filtering works best where traffic originates one hop
away, so that the address filtering is based on the trust of only
directly-connected (tunneled or otherwise) nodes. Like conventional
address filtering, this reduces spoofing traffic in general, but is
not considered a reliable security mechanism because it relies on
distributed filtering (e.g., the fact that upstream nodes do not
terminate tunnels arbitrarily).
3.2.2. IPsec
TCP is susceptible to RSTs, but also to other off-path and on-path
spoofing attacks, including SYN attacks. Other transport protocols,
such as UDP and RTP are equally susceptible. Although emerging
transport protocols attempt to defeat such attacks at the transport
layer, such attacks take advantage of network layer identity
spoofing. The packet is coming from an endpoint that is spoofing
another endpoint, either upstream or somewhere else in the Internet.
IPsec was designed specifically to establish and enforce
authentication of a packet's source and contents in order to most
directly and explicitly address this security vulnerability.
The larger problem with IPsec is that of key distribution and use.
IPsec is often cumbersome, and has only recently been supported in
many end-system operating systems. More importantly, it relies on
preshared keys, signed X.509 certificates, or a trusted third-party
(e.g., Kerberos) key infrastructure to establish and exchange keying
information (e.g., via IKE). Each of these issues presents
challenges when using IPsec to secure traffic to a well-known server,
whose clients may not support IPsec or may not have registered with a
previously-known certificate authority (CA).
These keying challenges are being addressed in the IETF in ways that
will enable servers secure associations with other parties without
advance coordination [45][46]. This can be especially useful for
publicly-available servers, or for protecting connections to servers
that -- for whatever reason -- have not or will not deploy
conventional IPsec certificates (i.e., core Internet BGP routers).
4. ICMP
Just as spoofed TCP packets can terminate a connection, so too can
spoofed ICMP packets. ICMP can be used to launch a variety of
attacks on TCP including connection resets, path-MTU attacks, and can
also be used to attack the host with non-TCP 'ping of death' and
'smurf attacks', etc. [40]. ICMP thus represents a substantial
threat to TCP, but this is not the focus of this document, although a
number of protections are discussed below because some are comparable
to TCP anti-spoofing techniques. Note also that ICMP attacks on TCP
assume that the socket pair is known by the attacker, which is
unlikely except for a subset of services between pairs of widely-
known endpoints.
TCP headers can be included inside certain ICMP messages [7]. There
have been recent suggestions to validate the sequence number of TCP
headers when they occur inside ICMP messages [18]. This sequence
checking is similar to checks that would occur for conventional data
packets in TCP, but is being proposed in the spirit of the RST window
attenuation described in Section 3.1.2.
Some such checks may be reasonable, especially where they parallel
the validations already performed by TCP processing, notably where
they emulate the semantics of such processing. For example, the TCP
checksum should be validated (if the entire TCP segment is contained
in the ICMP message) before any fields of the TCP header are
examined, to avoid reacting to corrupted packets. Similarly, if the
TCP MD5 option is present, its signature should probably be validated
before considering the contents of the message. Such validation can
ensure that the packet was not corrupted prior to the ICMP generation
(checksum), that the packet was one sent by the source (IPsec or
TCP/MD5 authenticated), or that the packet was not in the network for
an excess of 2*MSL (valid sequence number).
ICMP presents a particular challenge because some messages can reset
a connection more easily -- with less validation -- than even some
spoofed TCP segments. One other proposed alternative is to change
TCP's reaction to ICMPs after a connection is established; that may
leave TCP susceptible during connection establishment and modifies
TCP's reaction to certain valid network events [19]. This considers
the context-sensitivity of ICMP messages, as does IPsec in some
tunneled configurations, but the recommendations are ambiguous
regarding such filtering [27].
Ultimately, requiring TCP ICMP messages to be 'in window' may be
insufficient protection, as this document shows for spoofed data.
ICMP packets can be authenticated when originating at known, trusted
endpoints, such as endpoints of connections or routers in known
domains with preexisting IPsec associations. Unfortunately, they
also can originate at other places in the network. In addition, some
networks filter all ICMP packets because validation may not be
possible, especially because they can be injected from anywhere in a
network, and so cannot be easily and locally address filtered [27].
As a result, they are not addressed separately in the issues or
security considerations of this document further.
5. Issues
There are a number of existing and proposed solutions addressing the
vulnerability of transport protocols in general (and TCP in specific)
to off-path third-party spoofing attacks. As shown, these operate at
the transport or network layer. Transport solutions require separate
modification of each transport protocol, addressing network identity
spoofing separately in the context of each transport association.
Network solutions require distributed coordination (filtering) or can
be computationally intensive and require pervasive registration of
certificate authorities with every possible endpoint
(authentication). This section explains these observations further.
5.1. Transport Layer (e.g., TCP)
Transport solutions rely on shared cookies to authenticate segments,
including data, transport header, and even pseudo-header (e.g., fixed
portions of the outer IP header in TCP). Because the Internet relies
on stateless network protocols, it makes sense to rely on state
establishment and maintenance available in some transport layers not
only for the connection but for authentication state. Three-way
handshakes and heartbeats can be used to negotiate authentication
state in conjunction with connection parameters, which can be stored
with connection state easily.
As noted earlier, transport layer solutions require separate
modification of all transport protocols to include authentication.
Not all transport protocols support negotiated endpoint state (e.g.,
UDP), and legacy protocols have been notoriously difficult to safely
augment. Not all authentication solutions are created equal, either,
and relying on a variety of transport solutions exposes end-systems
to increased potential for incorrectly specified or implemented
solutions. Transport authentication has often been developed piece-
wise, in response to specific attacks, e.g., SYN cookies and RST
window attenuation [4][36].
Transport layer solutions are not only per-protocol, but often per-
connection. This has both advantages and drawbacks. One advantage
to transport layer solutions is that they can protect the transport
protocol when lower layers have failed, e.g., due to bugs in
implementation. TCP already includes a variety of packet validation
mechanisms to protect in these cases, e.g., checking that RSTs are
in-window. More strict checks can increase the protections provided,
e.g., to protect against misaddressed RSTs that end up in-window (via
TCPsecure) or to protect against connection interruption due to RSTs,
SYNs, or data injection from misaddressed packets (TCP/MD5) [36].
Another advantage is that transport layer protections can be more
specifically limited to a particular connection. Because each
connection negotiates its state separately, that state can be more
specifically tied to that connection. This is both an advantage and
a drawback. It can make it easier to tie security to an individual
connection, although in practice a shared secret or certificate will
generally be shared across multiple connections.
As a drawback, each transport connection needs to negotiate and
maintain authentication state separately. Some overhead is not
amortized over multiple connections, e.g., overheads in packet
exchanges, whereas other overheads are not amortized over different
transport protocols, e.g., design and implementation complexity --
both as would be the case in a network layer solution. Because the
authentication happens later in packet processing than is required,
additional endpoint resources may be needlessly consumed, e.g., in
demultiplexing received packets, indexing connection identifiers, and
continuing to buffer spoofed packets, etc., only to be dropped later
at the transport layer.
5.2. Network Layer (IP)
A network layer solution avoids the hazards of multiple transport
variants, using a single shared endpoint authentication mechanism
early in receiver packet processing to discard unauthenticated
packets at the network layer instead. This defeats spoofing entirely
because spoofing involves masquerading as another endpoint, and
network layer security validates the endpoint as the source of the
packets it emits. Such a network level solution protects all
transport protocols as a result, including both legacy and emerging
protocols, and reduces the complexity of these protocols as well. A
shared solution also reduces protocol overhead, and decouples the
management (and refreshing) of authentication state from that of
individual transport connections. Finally, a network layer solution
protects not only the transport layer but the network layer as well,
e.g., from IGMP, and some kinds of ICMP (Section 4), spoofing
attacks.
The IETF Proposed Standard protocol for network layer authentication
is IPsec [27]. IPsec specifies the overall architecture, including
header authentication (AH) [25] and encapsulation (ESP) modes [26].
AH authenticates both the IP header and IP data, whereas ESP
authenticates only the IP data (e.g., transport header and payload).
AH is being phased out since ESP is more efficient and the Security
Parameters Index (SPI) includes sufficient information to verify the
IP header anyway [27]. These two modes describe the security applied
to individual packets within the IPsec system; key exchange and
management is performed either out-of-band (via pre-shared keys) or
by an automated key exchange protocol, e.g., IKE [24].
IPsec already provides authentication of an IP header and its data
contents sufficient to defeat both on-path and off-path third-party
spoofing attacks. IKE can configure authentication between two
endpoints on a per-endpoint, per-protocol, or per-connection basis,
as desired. IKE also can perform automatic periodic re-keying,
further defeating crypto-analysis based on snooping (clandestine data
collection). The use of IPsec is already commonly strongly
recommended for protected infrastructure.
Existing IPsec is not appropriate for many deployments. It is
computationally intensive both in key management and individual
packet authentication [43]. This computational overhead can be
prohibitive, and so often requires additional hardware, especially in
commercial routers. As importantly, IKE is not anonymous; keys can
be exchanged between parties only if they trust each other's X.509
certificates, trust some other third-party to help with key
generation (e.g., Kerberos), or pre-share a key. These certificates
provide identification (the other party knows who you are) only where
the certificates themselves are signed by certificate authorities
(CAs) that both parties already trust. To a large extent, the CAs
themselves are the pre-shared keys that help IKE establish security
association keys, which are then used in the authentication
algorithms.
Alternative mechanisms are under development to address this
limitation, to allow publicly-accessible servers to secure
connections to clients not known in advance, or to allow unilateral
relaxation of identity validation so that the remaining protections
of IPsec can be made available [45][46]. In particular, these
mechanisms can prevent a client (but without knowing who that client
is) from being affected by spoofing from other clients, even when the
attackers are on the same communications path.
IPsec, although widely available both in commercial routers and
commodity end-systems, is not often used except between parties that
already have a preexisting relationship (employee/employer, between
two ISPs, etc.). Servers to anonymous clients (e.g., customer/
business) or more open services (e.g., BGP, where routers may have
large numbers of peers) are unmanageable, due to the breadth and flux
of CAs. New endpoints cannot establish IPsec associations with such
servers unless their own certificate is signed by a CA already
trusted by the server. Different servers -- even within the same
overall system (e.g., BGP) -- often cannot or will not trust
overlapping subsets of CAs in general.
5.3. Application Layer
There are a number of application layer authentication mechanisms,
often implicit within end-to-end encryption. Application layer
security (e.g., TLS, SSH, or MD5 checksums within a BGP stream)
provides the ultimate protection of application data from all
intermediaries, including network routers as well as exposure at
other layers in the end-systems. This is the only way to ultimately
protect the application data.
Application authentication cannot protect either the network or
transport protocols from spoofing attacks, however. Spoofed packets
interfere with network processing or reset transport connections
before the application checks the data. Authentication needs to
winnow these packets and drop them before they interfere at these
lower layers.
An alternate application layer solution would involve resilience to
reset connections. If the application can recover from such
connection interruptions, then such attacks have less impact.
Unfortunately, attackers still affect the application, e.g., in the
cost of restarting connections, delays until connections are
restarted, or increased connection establishment messages on the
network. Some applications -- notably BGP -- even interpret TCP
connection reliability as an indicator of route path stability, which
is why attacks on BGP have such substantial consequences.
5.4. Link Layer
Link layer security operates separately on each hop of an Internet.
Such security can be critical in protecting link resources, such as
bandwidth and link management protocols. Protection at this layer
cannot suffice for network or transport layers, because it cannot
authenticate the endpoint source of a packet. Link authentication
ensures only the source of the current link hop where it is examined.
5.5. Issues Discussion
The issues raised in this section suggest that there are challenges
with all solutions to transport protection from spoofing attacks.
This raises the potential need for alternate security levels. While
it is already widely recognized that security needs to occur
simultaneously at many protocol layers, there also may be utility in
supporting a variety of strengths at a single layer. For example,
IPsec already supports a variety of algorithms (MD5, SHA1, etc., for
authentication), but always assumes that:
1. The entire body of the packet is secured.
2. Security associations are established only where identity is
authenticated by a known certificate authority or other pre-shared
3. Both on-path and off-path third-party spoofing attacks must be
defeated.
These assumptions are prohibitive, especially in many cases of
spoofing attacks. For spoofing, the primary issue is whether packets
are coming from the same party the server can reach. Only the IP
header is fundamentally in question, so securing the entire packet
(1) is computational overkill. It is sufficient to authenticate the
other party as "a party you have exchanged packets with", rather than
establishing their trusted identity ("Bill" vs. "Bob") as in (2).
Finally, many cookie systems use clear-text (unencrypted), fixed
cookie values, providing reasonable (1 in 2^{cookie-size}) protection
against off-path third-party spoof attacks, but not addressing on-
path attacks at all. Such potential solutions are discussed in the
Better Than Nothing Security (BTNS) documents [5][45][46]. Note also
that NULL Encryption in IPsec applies a variant of this cookie, where
the SPI is the cookie, and no further encryption is applied [17].
This entire document focuses on increasing the security of transport
protocols and their resistance to spoofing attacks. Security is
addressed throughout.
This document describes a number of techniques for defeating spoofing
attacks. Those relying on clear-text cookies, either explicit or
implicit (e.g., window sequence attenuation) do not protect from on-
path spoofing attacks, since valid values can be learned from prior
traffic. Those relying on true authentication algorithms are
stronger, protecting even from on-path attacks, because the
authentication hash in a single packet approaches the behavior of
"one-time" cookies.
The security of various levels of the protocol stack is addressed.
Spoofing attacks are fundamentally identity masquerading, so we
believe the most appropriate solutions defeat these at the network
layer, where end-to-end identity lies. Some transport protocols
subsume endpoint identity information from the network layer (e.g.,
TCP pseudo-headers), whereas others establish per-connection identity
based on exchanged nonces (e.g., SCTP). It is reasonable, if not
recommended, to address security at all layers of the protocol stack.
Note that Network Address Translators (NATs) and other middleboxes
complicate the design and deployment of techniques to defeat spoofing
attacks. Devices such as these, that modify IP and/or TCP headers
in-transit, generate traffic equivalent to a spoofing attack, and
thus should be inhibited by antispoofing mechanisms. Details of
these middlebox-related problems are out of scope for this document,
but issues thereof are addressed in RFCs and emerging documents that
discuss the interactions between such devices and the Internet
architecture, e.g., [21]. Fortunately, many of the most critical
TCP-based connections -- in particular, those supporting routing
protocols like BGP -- do not traverse such middleboxes, and are not
affected by this limitation.
7. Conclusions
This document describes the details of the recent BGP spoofing
attacks involving spurious RSTs, which could be used to shutdown TCP
connections. It summarizes and discusses a variety of current and
proposed solutions at various protocol layers.
8. Acknowledgments
This document was inspired by discussions in the TCPM WG
<http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/tcpm-charter.html> about the
recent spoofed RST attacks on BGP routers, including R. Stewart's
document (whose author list has since evolved) [36][42]. The
analysis of the attack issues, alternate solutions, and the anonymous
security proposed solutions were the result of discussions on that
list as well as with USC/ISI's T. Faber, A. Falk, G. Finn, and Y.
Wang. R. Atkinson suggested the UDP variant of TCP/MD5, P. Goyette
suggested using the ISN to seed TCP/MD5, and L. Wood suggested using
the ISN to validate RSTs. Other improvements are due to the input of
various members of the IETF's TCPM WG, notably detailed feedback from

some blocks. watch them get out in front here. first one is going to come from garcia, right there. paradis gets one. and now, there you go. it's a great individual effort by kapri bibbs. >> al: and that stills the crowd for a moment. mcmanus bangs it through to get denver back in the game. it's 30-20, with 5:18. as some of the david johnsons runs we've seen. he broke a few tackles and made cuts. wasn't going to stop until we got to the end zone. with the way they struggled tonight, maybe this earns him a few brownie points and carries. >> al: free agent, played his college football up at ft. collins, at colorado state. only six carries. >> cris: one catch, coming in.
69 yards. >> cris: football is a funny thing here. now, what do you do? do you go onside kick here? or do you play it straight up? >> al: the broncos, talking about the future. next week, they go to the superdome. then, they have a bye. then, kansas city comes to denver. jacksonville and tennessee. two road games in the afc south. the patriots go there week 15. at kansas city. which is a christmas game. on nbc. and then, the season will end, with oakland at denver. i think denver will be okay, as long as aqib talib comes back. that back keeps being an issue, that really took away something tonight. couldn't you just feel they weren't nearly as dominant on the defensive side in the secondary.
action, as well. wolfe is out of the game right now. a lot of stuff going on. >> cris: nice play. nice play. should be able to pin them back here. >> al: to the 4 yard line. jones to the 19. and we go to michele. >> michele: after going undrafted, kapri bibbs has been on denver's practice squad. and he is not just hungry. he is, quote, starving, to play more. he said, i hso i see myself as one of the best backs in the game. sometimes it doesn't happen overnight. but i don't question the process. >> al: may have just earned a meal ticket. 69-yard, catch and run. >> cris: he's trevor siemian's best friend. that makes trevor's stat line look better. >> al: and now, the raiders, can start thinking about the clock, as well. gets around the corner.
and wants to stay inbounds, which he does. harris makes the tackle. we will tick down under five minutes to play. >> cris: i'm going to tell you. you have to watch from here over. that's all you have to do. watch this jump cut here by murray. almost went in reverse, to get outside. and ran around a speedy chris harris, to pick up the first down. >> al: gain of 13 yards. that's helped along by the 42-yard run. again, this time, he's going to smack into big, sylvester williams. 6'2", 313. >> cris: they try to flip the formation over. and right here, sylvester williams, is going to sneak around. for the first time, in a long
right side. that went backwards. mr. williams had a few good moves inside there. he's had a good game. >> al: sylvester williams, fourth year out of north carolina. he was the number one pick in '13. richard comes into the game. running back on second down and 13. carr, using all of the play will start, up to the 34 yard line. third down. and denver will take a time-out here, prior to a third and eight. denver has two time-outs remaining. remaining schedule, for the raiders. they are off next week. so, some of them may be going to vegas any way. and the houston game is in mexico city.
carolina and buffalo coming here. an three of the last four on the road, all in the division. k.c., at san diego, indianapolis comes here, in the penultimate week. they go to denver to wrap up the season. you were penultimate in florida, right? >> cris: that's the one that sets up the last step. >> al: you succeeded john madden. and succeeding dimaggio. third down and eight, after the time-out. from the 34 yard line. that's going to be a first down. cooper makes the catch. before he steps out of bounds, with 3:30. and they can take a lot more time off the clock now. >> cris: you have the play of the game right there. they're going to bring pressure here. they're going to bring it. over here on the outside, they're going to play about 15
you have to be able to pressure that. i think, on the third down play, that was the play of the game right there. and it was a layup. >> al: roby playing way back. >> cris: just gave it to them. if you're going to pressure and play like that, you have to get up in their face and give that pressure a chance to get there. >> al: like you don't know the game situation. eight yards, have a first town. and can take time off the clock again. and you got deandre washington, with a penalty. >> referee: ten-yard penalty. replay first down. >> al: 104 yards of penalties against denver tonight. >> cris: wow. i drove them back four yards. and then, at the end, i gave him a little tug and that was it. watch him right here. driving back. and then, at the very end, todd
and he saw the little grab. heck of a game, though, by osemele tonight. >> al: tremendous. look at that. last week, 23 penalties. tonight, they win the lady byng award. only eight. first and 20. from the 33 yard line. to the 40 yard line. richard. >> cris: a new way to attack this time. and this is that left side of that offensive line. we've seen it all night. the double-teams with osemele, penn, osemele, hudson, one fullback coming through there. and they just got it done. you know. there's some nights that you turn on "sunday night football" and it's these beautiful passes. and some nights, just, bang, bang, bang.
that's a little like coach madden's teams. they line up and say, hey. here we go. >> al: talking about upshaw and shell, of course, on the left side. both go to the hall of fame. denver took a time-out. they're down to just one left. second and 14. more time off of the clock. a gain of 42. to richard. raider alumni. willie brown, the great quarterback. otis sisstron. and you have tom flores on the left. and jim plunkett on the right. and fred biletnikoff. man, oh, man. this may be an old relic, this coliseum here.
the sea of hands. >> cris: some of the great memories, growing up, watching football. and seemed like the raiders were involved. >> al: see clarence davis making the catch. miami against oakland in the divisional playoff. the "heidi" game was played. and nbc went to a commercial and to "heidi" and missed one of the great comebacks of all-time. third and 11. this place has been around since 1966. >> cris: how about that one year george blanda had, when he made the game-winning kicks and came back and throwing touchdown passes. i think he was in his 40s at that time. >> al: oh, he was. for sure. now, norwood is back. denver is going to get the ball.
the either way. field goal, touchdown, touchdown, field goal. whatever way they score first. you see an onside kick. and right now, they run the clock all the way down. and take a time-out. so, the raiders' revival, no playoffs for 13 years. no winning seasons, since '02. they drafted mack and carr. how did that work out so far? in '14, del rio comes in as head coach. a coaching carousel. cooper and crabtree. that shores it up. reggie mckenzie. >> cris: you look at what they have done in free agency. the whole left side of that
john smith, reggie nelson, bruce irvin, some of them through free agency. >> al: marquette king. the short line drive. caught at the 15 yard line by norwood. roby will bring it out to the 29. the clock will stop at the two-minute warning. they have 2:20 to manufacture ten points. >> cris: the broncos' defense, not allowed a 200-yard rushing day, since week 16 of 2014, to give you some idea. we have to remember, this has been, if not the best defense, one of the best defenses, in the league. yes, some injuries. but still, a very impressive outing. >> al: 221 rushing yards, tonight, against that denver "d." and see what siemian can do here, from the 28.
and that is almost intercepted. that's reggie nelson. tenth year. came over from cincinnati. almost picked it. second and ten. >> cris: good safeties on this league. and the two leading tacklers on this team are both the safeties. and for joseph, even more impressive because he didn't start until week three. >> al: siemian, keeps his eyes downfield. and nothing doing downfield. third down and ten, darius latham chased him out. >> cris: he got his teammate, russell okung, back into the quarterback, and flushed trevor siemian out.
the bull rush. >> al: third and ten. at a point in the game, when they have to go for it on fourth down. no time-outs. 2:10 left. siemian, throwing and that is not interference there. demaryius thomas, blanketed by t.j. carrie, all legal. and it's fourth down. >> cris: this is how that one really good drive that denver had, got started on a play just like that. but t.j. carrie has bounced back. a lot of this, you have to think back. no interference on that one, to emmanuel sanders and the one shot he had at the goal line. >> al: couldn't corral it, at the 1. fourth and ten. last gasp. and it's intercepted. and this time, nelson does get
at the 44 yard line. so, almost had one. even if he dropped it, wouldn't have mattered. would have turned it over on downs. they can run the clock out. and the oakland raiders, on the verge of going into first place.

three wins in carr's rookie year. they're tied with new england and dallas, for most wins in the nfl, as we bring in tony dungy. coach, on "football night in america" we asked, how would oakland handle this biggest game these guys have played. in your opinion, how did they do it tonight? >> they handled it well. they did it with old-school raider football. it was the offensive line, taking care of business. running left, especially. and it just reminded me of the old-time raiders, when they would put upshaw, shell, and just kept pounding it. they controlled the game that way. on the other side of the ball, you heard khalil mack say we had to make them one-dimensional. denver would not run the football at all tonight. that's how oakland took care of the game and dominated with the front lines offensively and defensively. it was very, very impressive tonight.

no flags thrown. more work needs to be done to get those referees all on that same page and get a consistent application of the term forcible, whether it's cam newton or any other quarterback in the nfl, mike. >> carolina got the win. wasn't pretty, 3-5, a couple of games out in the nfc south. you can catch mike tomorrow morning, on profootballtalk live, followed by the dan patrick show. final line on the raiders' win, as they swim out of the path ? ? and the seagulls they'll be smilin ? ? and the rocks on the sand... ? it's so peaceful up here. yeah.

Supplementary Materialssupplement. faraway parts of the neocortex (Braak and Braak, 1991).
Supplementary Materialssupplement. faraway parts of the neocortex (Braak and Braak, 1991). Multiple research possess recorded tau aggregate uptake right now, seeding (i.e. aggregate offering like a template for the transformation of monomer to a fibrillar type), and transfer of aggregates among cultured cells (Frost et al., 2009a; Lee and Guo, 2011; Holmes et al., 2013; Nonaka et al., 2010). Experimental proof shows that propagation, or the motion of tau aggregates between linked neurons with seeding of tau monomer in receiver cells, mediates this development (Sanders et al., 2016; Jucker and Walker, 2015). Importantly, shot of tau aggregates into mice that communicate human tau proteins induces tau pathology that spreads outwards along known mind systems (Clavaguera et al., 2009; Iba et al., 2013). Transgenic mice that limit the manifestation of tau towards the entorhinal cortex also display pass on of tau pathology to faraway, connected brain areas (de Calignon et al., 2012; Liu et al., 2012). Collectively, these research claim that propagation of the aggregated state underlies the progression of tau pathology. These observations match the established mechanisms of propagation of pathological prion protein (PrP) (Prusiner, 1998). The pathology of tauopathies occurs in distinct brain regions (Arnold et al., 2013), involves disparate brain networks (Raj et al., 2012; Zhou et al., 2012), and features unique tau inclusions in various cell types (Kovacs, 2015). Individuals may develop rapid or slow neurodegeneration even within the same syndrome (Armstrong et al., 2014; CP-690550 supplier Thalhauser and Komarova, 2011). The basis of these diverse disease patterns is unknown. We initially observed that tau adopts multiple, stably propagating conformers prion strains that propagate in cells and animals (Sanders et al., 2014). We have now isolated 18 putative tau prion strains derived from recombinant, mouse, or human sources. We have studied them extensively (DS3 and 19; DS6 and 15; DS12 and 16) (Figure 3F,G,I). These pairs of similar strains (which may CP-690550 supplier propagate identical tau aggregate conformations) displayed similar seeding activity and toxicity levels, and induced similar phenotypes in primary neuron culture. Importantly, DS6 and 15 derive from distinct aggregate sources (aged PS19 mice and recombinant fibrils, respectively), indicating that these strain-based phenotypes CP-690550 supplier are conformation-specific rather than source-specific. Stability of distinct tau prion strains We previously demonstrated that DS9 and 10 propagate unique conformations, and produce identical phenotypes upon re-introduction into DS1 cells. To test whether other strains meet these same criteria for stable prion strains (Sanders et al., 2014), we transduced cell lysate from strains with distinct cellular CP-690550 supplier morphology, seeding activity, and/or Rabbit Polyclonal to WIPF1 phenotypes into na?ve DS1 cells (DS1, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, or 11). We first performed a blinded analysis of cell morphology from a polyclonal population at 5 and 8 days after transduction. The original DS1 and secondary polyclonal DS1 cell lines contained no aggregate-positive cells (Figure S2F-H). Blinded counts of DS4, 7, and 9 demonstrated the polyclonal population maintained the nuclear speckled phenotype, while DS10 and 11 secondary lines were readily scored as ordered and disordered. DS6 threads that project from a large juxtanuclear aggregate are only readily apparent when assessing morphology on a population level rather than within individual cells. However, transduction of this cell line reliably induced overt threads in the vast majority of secondary cells at 5 days after transduction. By 8 days, tau aggregates in DS6 secondary cells appeared to mature, and the cellular morphology and blinded scoring results resembled that of the original DS6 cell line (Figure S2F-H)..

Can Science Prove The Noah's Ark Flood Actually Happend?
Can Science Prove The Noah's Ark Flood Actually Happened?
The question as to whether the story of Noah's Ark and The Flood actually happened is often disputed by secular groups. Common disputes we see are:
Why would a loving and merciful God flood the entire planet killing everything on it simply to kill the few thousand people that were alive at the time? Wouldn't it have been much smarter and merciful to simply turn them off with instant heart attacks or similar? And what did the animals do to deserve that?
There is no such evidence for a global catastrophe in the archaeological record, only extensive evidence for the contrary. Had there been a disaster that reduced the world’s human population to a mere handful while destroying most cultural artifacts, it must inevitably have taken at least centuries to get civilization back up and running again. The newer civilizations would have also been considerably different from the old as no one ever rebuilds something exactly the same as it was before. Finally there would have only been a single civilization after the flood since Noah’s family would have been the only ones around to get things going again for the human race. Alas, the archaeological record shows us that various civilizations around the world and the human race carried on in a steady fashion before, during, and after the flood supposedly took place with no evidence of such a disaster. Read The Top 8 Reasons Why We Know The Flood Never Happened
How did all of the species of animals get from other continents across the oceans, rain forests, and deserts to get onto the Ark?
Conversely, how did they get from the Ark back to where they live now? The penguins to the South Pole (but not the north), the kangaroos to Australia, etc. And yet there is no fossil record of that journey.
How could the Ark really carry the thousands of kinds of animals on the Earth on it, not to mention the food for them all, especially since many animals EAT OTHER ANIMIALS! How did they keep the food from spoiling? How did they dispose of the tons of daily animal waste?
According to the Bible the entire world was covered in water during the flood, even the top of the highest mountains. To cover the Earth like that it would take 5 times the amount of water in the oceans.
Even if God miraculously caused that much water to appear, the amount of water needed to cover the planet would have dramatically changed the Earth’s atmosphere to have a massive amount of water vapors dissolved in it, so much that Noah's family and the animals would have literally drowned just by breathing! Plus there would be so much atmospheric pressure that his bones would have literally been crushed.
Tree ring records tell us of climate changes over the past 10,000 years and they don’t show that such a catastrophe occurred during the supposed time of the “Great Flood,” or at all.
Salt water would have killed all fresh water fish when it flooded. And how did the fresh water fish get back to the lakes and ponds when the water receded?
Ice cores from Greenland have been dated back more than 40,000 years by counting annual layers. A worldwide flood would leave a layer of sediments, noticeable changes in salinity and oxygen isotope ratios, fractures from buoyancy and thermal stresses, a hiatus in trapped air bubbles, and other evidence...yet no such evidence exists.
The Bible says the ark was made entirely of wood and was about 450 feet long, but as any boat manufacturer will tell you that a wooden vessel that size would not only not stay afloat, but would break apart right away from all the stress, even without all the animals on it and violent storms. Wood is simply not strong enough. The longest wooden ships are only about 300 feet long, 150 less than Noah’s, and even in ancient times they required reinforcing with iron straps. Even then they still leaked so badly they constantly required pumping.
Why aren't craters that predate the flood, like Meteor Crater, full of water? At the very least why wasn't it filled with debris and mud from being under water?
Many plants that are around today, including their seeds, would be killed if they were submerged in salt water for 150 days.
The flood story in Genesis is only the most popular of many ancient flood myths. There are three known Babylonian flood stories written long before Genesis that tell the exact same story as the Bible with only variations in minor details. Learn More

HomeMeekerMeeker sidewalk project set for spring ’14
Meeker sidewalk project set for spring ’14
November 29, 2013 Sean McMahon Meeker 0
MEEKER I A Meeker town project in the works since 2008 may actually be undertaken come Spring 2014 after negotiations with three property owners are complete and bids can be let.
Meeker Town Manager Scott Meszaros said Tuesday that the plan to install sidewalks along the north side of Highway 13 in Meeker might actually occur this coming spring. He said there are some ongoing negotiations with three property owners in the area where sidewalks will be placed, then the project will hopefully be put out to bid early in the spring.
Under the current project, the sidewalk will be laid only on the north side of Highway 13 on the east end of town, opposite the new U.S. Forest Service/Bureau of Land Management building. From there, the walkway will run west to Fourth Street, Meszaros said.
“We hope to put out for bids in early spring,” he said. “But I have also heard from several people that work cannot begin on a Colorado Department of Transportation right of way until after May 1, so that may have an effect on when we actually start the project.
Meszaros said this phase of the roughly $850,000 sidewalk project will be funded with an 80 percent grant from the state and a 20 percent local match. That amount includes the engineering, design, labor and construction costs of the project.
Meszaros also said the town eventually wants to place sidewalks on the north and south sides of Highway 13, which is Market Street in town, from the current location all the way to the east end of town.
“We have already done the engineering work for the entire project,” he said. “We are hoping to continue working with CDOT on the entire project and we will most likely do the work in phases over as many years as it takes.
“A sidewalk along the main street in a town has the tendency to make the entire town look better,” Meszaros said. “That is our hope that sidewalks through town will improve the entire dynamic of the town to someone driving through.”
“I expect the entire project to take $3 million or more, but it is something we can do with the help of CDOT as the state’s and the Town of Meeker’s funds will allow.”

#TransformTuesday: 15 May
Every week, Transform examines recent rebrands and updated visual identities. This week's picks are below. For more from #TransformTuesday, follow @Transformsays.
Technical sock manufacturer Bridgedale has collaborated with creative design agency Brandon for a rebrand that includes a new visual identity as well as an improved SKU navigational system. The company’s new look was designed to make shopping easier and showcase the benefits of Bridgedale’s fusion technology, Fusion Tech, which is a special blend of yarn and knitting technology unique to the retail market. The new visual identity combines photography with a series of visual cues, informing the customers about the different types of socks in the Bridgedale range and helping them choose what better fits their needs. Richard Taylor, managing partner of Brandon, says, “Bridgedale’s packaging needed refreshing to better reflect Fusion Tech and to make it easier for shoppers to navigate the range. The identity and brand needed to be modernised to make it relevant to today’s audience, enable shoppers to easily pick the best socks for their needs and highlight the use of Fusion Tech to provide standout.” Brandon’s team chose as a concept ‘Journeyman: helping people on their journey' after conducting market research among outdoor walkers in the UK and across Europen, in order to figure out what the new brand identity should be.
Chicago Sun Times
The oldest daily newspaper in Chicago, Chicago Sun-Times, has partnered with advertising & marketing agency Ogilvy to introduce a new logo. The new Sun-Times logo features a star from the Chicago flag, honoring its roots and the Chicagoans’ support. Along with the new logo, the Chicago Sun-Times released a revamped newspaper and website. Sun-Times CEO Edwin Eisendrath says, “I’m grateful to everyone at the Sun-Times and to the superb team at Ogilvy for the hard work they did together so that we can better communicate with our readers. We’re debuting a more straightforward and cleaner look both in print and at suntimes.com, and serving up content in a more organised way on both platforms.” The rebrand is not limited in just the print format, but also the digital one, with a new news app and podcasts on race relations, sports and more. The new website features larger photos and it resembles the headline fonts and type style of the newspaper, while different sections are color-coded to match the colors of the section toppers in the paper.
Flipboard, a news and social network aggregator that allows users to select feeds from various news websites and social media accounts for an easier read, has launched a rebrand designed by its in-house team in collaboration with San Francisco and CA-based branding and strategy studio Moniker. Flipboard’s old logo featured transparent window panes at its centre, referencing the idea of the aggregator being a window onto great stories. The new logo has been redesigned to display a fully open window, and a new, brighter shade of red. The pixelated “F” icon has been modernised by making it opaque and a single-color, which helps with its on-screen translation as well as minimalist aesthetic. As stated on Flipboard’s site “Our F becomes a distinct storytelling platform where we can feature inspiring points of view. And, you might notice a staircase in the white space. This was a serendipitous discovery, but once we saw it, we couldn’t unsee it. Because it speaks so well to our vision of advancing the conversation, the team decided to pursue this concept in more depth.” The result is unique, with the intersections of the images making both the images and the logo at the bottom stand out.
Gulf Air has introduced a new identity designed by independent global consultancy Saffron. Gulf Air’s previous logo sported a falcon, which in the Middle East represents courage, perseverance and freedom. Not wanting to stray far from the iconic logo and honoring the company’s heritage, the company kept the falcon as in the core of its identity across the brand. Saffron studied the anatomy and movements of falcons in their natural environment in order to come up with a renovated, more realistic version designed by illustrator Martijn Rivjen. Saffron also used Gulf Air Sans, a custom-made typeface that mimics the shape of the falcon’s claws, beak with shading that gives the effect of the wings’ texture. The typeface can be used in Arabic and Latin and comes in three different weights. The colour pallet has kept the signature gold and white, while swapping the royal blue for a more modern-looking black. However, the new visual identity also includes an abstract pattern that can be used either bold and colorful or more subtly, when at the same time it keeps the falcon as the focal and connecting point.
Media iQ
Media iQ has launched a new brand identity, adopting the name MiQ. The rebrand aims to establish MiQ as the leading global Marketing Intelligence company and find solutions to issues that trouble the market. MiQ is a pioneer in the media and marketing industry, being one of the first companies to take on Marketing Intelligence, a system that gathers and analyses relevant information specifically for the purpose of accurate decision-making in determining market opportunity, market penetration strategy, and market development metrics as its main business strategy. MiQ differentiates itself from its competitors by entwining artificial intelligence with human resourcefulness, a tactic that put the company on no.4 in the Sunday Times ‘Track 200 fastest growing International UK Companies’ earlier this year. Gurman Hundal, co-founder and CEO of MiQ, says, “Since Lee and I founded MiQ in 2010, we have always put the company culture at its heart. We pride ourselves on our people. This is why, despite the technology and increased importance of data to drive forward the future of marketing, it is also important to have great people. It is the people and technology that help businesses win, and we will retain this vision as we move into a new era.”
Uniplan
Brand experience agency, Uniplan has undergone a rebrand, which consist of a new corporate identity, a redefined service offering and a new visual look. Christian Zimmermann, CEO at Uniplan, says, “Uniplan’s new corporate identity fully reflects our people, our services, and our work. The industry has been transforming with increasingly notifiable demands in digital and content creation. In addition, the appearance of multi-discipline agencies fighting for their share of the market is turning the industry into a very volatile field run by fierce competition. Uniplan has sensed this transformation globally and made the bold move to reinvent itself to answer the needs of its clients and address the market evolution.” The Uniplan website has been revamped to match the company’s new identity. The new visual identity is a result of the agency’s growth and evolution. The dynamic of the purpose-driven company, is reflected on the company’s new corporate strategy.

Feb 20 NEVO ZISIN: Community care is just as important as self-care
Lucie & Nkechi
Nevo Zisin’s calm exterior could easily be mistaken for the type of confidence and peace we all hope to achieve, but Nevo is the first person to tell you that they are still figuring things out.
In high school, and with the encouragement of peers, Nevo began to take steps toward transitioning and now identifies as non-binary. This continuing journey has lead to the publication of Nevo’s gender memoir Finding Nevo, and has made them a point of contact in the Jewish community for other people confronting issues of gender and sexuality in their own lives.
In between writing and advocating on transgender rights, Nevo runs workshops, is a public speaker, and most recently featured in Gender Euphoria - a trans/non-binary cabaret show.
MEET NEVO.
THE PIN. Is Naarm/Melbourne where you grew up?
NEVO ZISIN. I grew up in Caulfield and have always lived in Melbourne.
Something you talk about, or at least people talk about in reference to you, is Judaism and growing up within that community. Can you tell me about it?
NZ. I think people come to conversations about faith based communities with a lot of presumptions and expectations. Judaism is such a broad experience and for me, and the community I was in, it was a culture first and foremost. Religiosity didn’t necessarily come into it as much as cultural expectations, music, food, art, and language. All of those things were a much bigger part of my Jewish identity.
I grew up in a pretty progressive family and it was more just cultural expectations that held me back, or were projected onto me, rather than faith. The usual things like getting married to a Jewish person and heteronormativity.
For my early life I went to a private Jewish school where I was bullied pretty severely and I ended up changing to a public school. Later I returned to the private school environment for high school and the school I attended was actually really progressive. It was the first faith based school to be part of the Safe Schools Coalition before it became a national project. That experience had a significant impact on my coming out and journey as a teenager.
What kind of the things were happening in that school that made you comfortable enough to express that part of yourself?
NZ. Well, any pioneering that the school did was not because of the school itself but the students. Particularly the year above me, which was full of a lot of queer people and people who were really committed to making change. The school had a gay-straight alliance that met once every two weeks and created a safe space for queer students to be able to talk about their experiences in school. I started attending as a straight supporter, which is what I told my mum, and then I felt like the school was behind me and I wasn’t the only one. There were people who understood, and also administration to help if I needed anything. I think that, and positive signage around the school, made me feel like I would be okay.
Since then you’ve written a memoir about your gender transition, Finding Nevo. I can imagine you’ve had many conversations just about having ‘the conversation’ of gender transition. What is it like going from having the experience and your own conversations, to then writing about it and getting to the point where you can almost reflect objectively?
NZ. It was certainly a process. Just the other night I did a speech and afterwards someone asked me how I am so articulate about my journey. I said, ‘it’s because I’ve done it a million times!’. To begin with I wasn’t particularly articulate about my trans identity - it isn’t something people just have - it’s something you really have to work at. Writing a memoir that is specifically placed around the subjectivity of memory is complex, how can you hold any sort of objective position regarding your own experience when people remember things completely differently? It was really hard for me to validate my own experience and convince myself that my recount of events was real, as someone with a history of being gaslit. I did a lot of research, which involved trying to go back into the headspace I was in at the point I was writing from.
I really wanted to insert myself back into that space so that I wasn’t writing as a twenty year-old reflecting on my 12 year-old self, but rather writing from the headspace of that 12 year-old.
It was a deeply cathartic but re-traumatising experience.
You now run workshops, talk at events, and have recently been involved in Gender Euphoria the cabaret. Does it still feel really raw to get onto a stage and talk about this kind of stuff?
NZ. It really depends. There are some workshops where I essentially feel like I’m picking a scab. Not really a fresh wound, but it’s there, the scar tissue is there and I can feel it.
It also depends on the frequency and amount of public engagements. If I’m giving a lot of speeches in one week I then tap into something I refer to as performative vulnerability. It’s not that it isn’t authentic, but I do create a little barrier between my presenting self and my deep personal self so as to not be too emotional or for it to be too raw. There are definitely gigs where I feel a certain energy from the audience though, and that hits me in a different space and opens me up.
Something we discuss quite a bit through this website are the ‘stupid questions’ people sometimes ask. The ‘where are you from’ questions and ‘you’re going to have beautiful mixed race baby’ comments...how do you navigate through those situations?
NZ. Oh god! It comes down to whether it’s work or personal life. In my personal life I am far less patient and I usually shut down those conversations pretty quickly. In my professional life I never really back down. I address that it’s an inappropriate question but I carry myself in a much more calm and controlled way. I think if you make the choice to be an educator and you’re getting paid to be an educator, then those questions and providing people with an education is part of your job.
You’re there to be Google for people, and if someone asks a question and you say, ‘go Google it’ then that’s not really helpful.
If I’ve had a really bad day I may sometimes suggest articles and explain why it isn’t an appropriate question, but for the most part I’ll tell people my birth name, or what surgeries I’ve had….
...are those questions common? I find that quite staggering…
NZ. Yeah, definitely though it depends on the demographic. It is shifting. Early on in my career I received way more questions like, ‘How do you have sex? How are you going to find someone to love you? What does your naked body look like, and what about your genitals? What surgeries have you had?’. I’ve even had people ask my mum those questions.
I think with the more representation we’re getting in the media, and the more trans identity is being spoken about, the less those questions are asked. But it really does depend on the demographic.
Getting back into the community aspect of things, I guess you could say your experience and life is very intersectional. When you started to find your life was becoming even more intersectional, who did you look to and reach to, to find a comfortable space outside of your school?
NZ. There were two iterations of that. The first was realising I was lesbian and the next was realising I was trans.
When I first realised I was a lesbian I reached out to other gay people in the Jewish community. At that point in time the majority of queer people I reached out to had come out after school. It wasn’t common to come out at school or to come out when your grandparents were still alive. It was something people avoided.
When I came out as trans I didn’t know who to look to. I couldn’t talk to gay men or lesbian women because it’s a completely different experience. Eventually someone I was in high school with told me about a friends brother who was trans and I got in touch with him...a complete stranger.
Have you seen networks grow since?
NZ. Yeah, definitely. The language is spreading and social media is a huge resource for people. There are a lot more books and materials in schools now where people can see themselves reflected. The validity of seeing yourself represented on television is confidence building.
We talked briefly about the questions we wish people didn’t ask, are there questions you wish people asked more often?
NZ. The first thing that came to mind when you said that was that I wish people asked me if I am okay a bit more. At the same time I think if they did ask I would cry. So I also don’t want them to.
The work I do is deeply emotional and really challenging. It’s particularly challenging from a community standpoint in that I don’t think people in my own community are all that kind to each other sometimes. I have had people accuse me of having a platform because of privilege and not using it in the right ways. Some people have very set ideas about how my activism should or shouldn’t look. That weighs heaviest on me. I don’t care what transphobes think of me, I care what my community thinks.
We talk a lot about self-care, but I don’t think we talk enough about community care and what responsibilities we have to each other. I think self-care is really important, but it’s very much influenced and manipulated by capitalism. Without talking about community care we’re missing a huge part of the equation.
Something I also wish was asked and communicated more is how non-linear the trans journey and every journey is. I guess it’s a very white colonial mentality of lineality but I find that I’m expected to be this sort of ‘before and after’ picture and I’m just not. Some days I feel more dysphoric than I ever have, and other days I feel incredible. I’d love to be able to stand in front of people and say I have it all figured out and I’m that example of the other side, but I have no idea! I’m just trying to steer my way through this.
You were recently part of Gender Euphoria, a trans/non-binary cabaret co-created by Mama Alto and Maude Davey, do you see that as a form of activism?
NZ. I definitely see it as a form of activism. It’s interesting, I don’t think activism should be distilled into everything we do, but it’s really hard not to!
As a trans person getting up on a stage, being resilient and strong, celebrating my life, abilities, and my body - it’s subversive and does change things. It just depends on what your definition of activism is though. I always feel a bit apprehensive to call myself an activist even though I do think I am.
Gender Euphoria was historic, it was momentous, and it will have a huge impact. It already has. I think the more trans art and the more trans people we have on stages, the more change will come. And when things make change, that’s activism.
THE PIN. If you could give your younger self one piece of advice about being in the skin you’re in, what would it be?
NEVO ZISIN. Ooph. I’ve had a lot of conversations with my younger self, I think my whole book was that.
I guess I would say, you’re the boss. You’re your own boss. No one else gets to dictate what you do with your body, and how you live your truth, and you have all of those answers inside you.

Montana Fish, Wildlife, Parks says number of wolves in Montana down slightly Obama declares 5 new national monuments
Anti-wolf, anti-wilderness going after “pro-wolf” Washington state commissioners in hearing today
By Ralph Maughan On March 26, 2013 · 44 Comments · In Politics, Washington state wolves, Wolves
Efforts by Washington state anti-wolf forces intercepted-
Below is an alert from anti-wolf folks in Washington State. This is an interesting example of the kind of email campaign that is being used by anti-wolf forces in a state where pro-wolf opinion is strong.
Those who support wilderness and wolves and other wildlife might want to do just the opposite of the recommendations below.
Eliminate Pro-Wolf Wildlife Commissioners Now!
This is the most important thing that you can do to help hunting and the increasing wolf problem in our state. The Republicans are giving us this opportunity on a silver platter. Remember, all four guys up for confirmation on the Wildlife Commission have had a state senate hearing and they were not voted on. They can sit unconfirmed until their term expires without ever having another hearing. They don’t have to be voted on, but now they are being brought up for a vote. The Senate Natural Resources Committee Chair is bringing these guys up for hearings even though he doesn’t have to. The writing is so clear. The hunting community and ranchers are being thrown a political bone. This session Republicans were unified on gun issues. They only had two or three defecters at most on the anti-gun legislation. The GOP finally has some political clout and they are willing to do what the Democrats do – share the wealth with people that support them. I am a political realist whose passion is preserving our Second Amendment and right to hunt. Republicans in this state want to be our allies, now we have to do our part. We may never again have a chance to make a bigger splash than this. The Republicans on the committee need to hear from us and so does Hargrove. There are pro-hunting Democrats who support managing wolves 100%.
First we need to achieve our goal with each of these commissioner confirmations in committee, then the commissioners will face a vote by the full Senate. There’s a fair chance of influencing these confirmations because the full Senate did approve two of Senator Smith’s wolf bills which are now in the House. These wildlife commissioner confirmations only go before the Senate, so we do not have to worry about passing in the House. Therefore we only have two hurdles, getting the committee to vote as we would like and then getting the full Senate to vote as we would like. It’s a numbers game and it’s hard to know exactly how many messages we need to send to accomplish this goal, so we need as many messages sent as possible. Ask friends, family and any groups you belong, ask anyone you think you can convince to send email or call today.
As of Friday March 22 a Washington legislator informed us that nobody is contacting the Senate Committee regarding the confirmation of the four Wildlife Commissioners on March 26. This is the perfect chance for hunters, fishers, ranchers, and other concerned persons to have a direct impact on the Wildlife Commission. The hearing for confirmations is at 1:30 pm on March 26.
Please take 1 or 2 minutes and call or email: DO IT NOW IF YOU WANT A CHANGE!
The committee assistant is Katharine Grimes (360) 786-7419 and ask her to forward a messages to each committee member to CONFIRM Wildlife Commissioners Mahnken and Carpenter and to OPPOSE Wildlife Commissioners Jennings and Kehne.

Confirmation of WDFW Wildlife Commissioners
(copy and paste message or write your own)
Senate Natural Resources and Parks Committee
RE: Confirmation of WDFW Wildlife Commissioners
Dear Senator,
I am concerned about the safety of pets, children, and the elderly in rural areas where rapidly increasing wolf packs are now causing an impact. Wolves are rapidly moving into new areas of Washington so it’s imperative that wolves are managed in a responsible manner. I am also concerned about the future of ranching and our big game herds. Ranching, hunting, and fishing are vitally important to the rural economies in Washington. The Wildlife Commission establishes WDFW wolf policies and sets recreational hunting and fishing seasons. Ranchers, rural residents, hunters, and fishers are depending on the Senate to confirm wildlife commissioners who will maximize recreational opportunities and who provide relief to ranchers and rural residents suffering from the impacts of wolves.
Please CONFIRM Conrad Mahnken and Larry Carpenter, both of these commissioners are knowledgeable, they have shown an open mind, they will question WDFW on the issues, they are widely supported, and they both bring needed qualities to the commission that benefit Washington as a whole.
Please OPPOSE THE CONFIRMATION of Jay Kehne as an Eastern Washington Commissioner. He is a paid employee of Conservation Northwest a western Washington special interest environmental organization which opposes management of wolves, cougars, or any other predators and is often in opposition to predator hunting seasons. Kehne’s employment by Conservation Northwest is a direct conflict of interest with his appointment as an Eastern Washington Commissioner. As you must know, the County Commissioners of Kehne’s home county are opposed to his appointment.
Please OPPOSE THE CONFIRMATION of David Jennings an extremist environmentalist with a known radical anti-sport fishing agenda who has proposed closing Neah Bay to rock fishing a vitally important activity to the economic stability of that region. Jennings is also opposed to needed wolf management, rarely if ever supports hunting, wants to expand wilderness areas and create Marine Protected Areas (Water Wilderness). Please remove David Jennings from the Wildlife Commission he is considered by many to be the worst Wildlife Commissioner.

Thanks Ralph, I’m on it.
Norm Mackey says:
Good catch Ralph.
birdpond says:
Sharing this despicable plot against wolves and other predators – Thanks for this urgent alert –
Sharing this despicable political plot against wolves and other predators – Thank you for the heads-up!
One reason I did this was to see if this news site had the potential to make a difference on a critical event where 30 to 100 messages could make a difference because it appears the sub rosa campaign might all be on one side.
DLB says:
Conservation Northwest is also putting some stuff out in Social Media, but it has come pretty late in the game.
I sent 5. Everyone out do me.
This campaign may have originated with the “Hunt Washington” forum. If that site wasn’t the author, it has been primarily responsible for putting this message out.
Hunt Washington has a huge following. The number of unique visits the site gets per month I believe are in the tens of thousands.
The big cheese for that site is an anti-wolf outfitter who kind of sways back and forth between anti-wolf and very anti-wolf, based on his posts. He lacks most of the weirdness/craziness that typifies the high profile anti-wolfers of Montana and Idaho.
The powers that be over there are getting better at organizing support against wolves & other predators. They direct a lot of vitriol towards Jay Kehne (WDFW Commissioner & Conservation NW employee), as well as Scott Fitkin (District Biologist for N Central WA).
WM says:
DLB,
I thought Kehne’s term ran until 12/31/2016. What’s up?
WM,
All four individuals up for a vote were never confirmed. I believe Kehne could have sat the whole term without being confirmed by vote.
Hello, if Kehne and Jennings are not confirmed this time around, can they still sit on the WDFW commission without being confirmed?
My memory is now beginning to come back on Kehne’s appointment, and the scenario may apply to one or more of the other commission appointees. This Eastern WA commission seat was left vacant for some time, specifically at Governor Gregoire’s request (or her D party advisors). She made the appointments late, if I recall correctly, and the appointees served while under Senate review, but no confirmation hearing was held, possibly because they thought he wouldn’t get confirmed. That accomplished a couple things that extended the influence of D appointed commissioners if McKenna had won, and the D’s kept the Senate. But, now the D’s don’t have the Senate.
Kehne, in my opinion, is not really very representative of the interests of Eastern WA, and most specifically the Colville area from which he hails. I don’t have a problem with him or his CNW employer, and hope he is confirmed. Not so sure about this yutz from Olympia, Jennings.
If Kehne is denied his seat (as he may be because the Senate Committee on NR is no longer chaired by that boob, Kevin Ranker -D San Juan Islands), and the appointees come up for vote, as is happening, that could mean Governor Inslee who ran as a candidate who would represent “all of WA” not just the West side, will be put to one of his first challenges if he needs to select another appointee from Eastern WA.
Here is the back story on Kehne’s appointment in 2011-12. The R’s from the NE part of the state didn’t like it. And, one of them, though not named here, is on the Senate NR Committee reviewing the appointments today(vice chair, actually).
http://www.auburn-reporter.com/news/138353464.html
“”It’s not a personal attack on Jay Kehne, it’s just a conflict of interest in Conservation Northwest,” said Jim DeTro, Okanogan County commissioner.
Conservation Northwest is an environmentalist agency based in Bellingham. It has worked on preserving grey wolves in the state as well as helping the state to buy conservation easements in Okanogan County, both of which don’t sit well with DeTro.
“He gets a check from them and they’re definitely, definitely not Eastern Washington values that they represent,” said DeTro.
Kehne has hit back against these criticisms, saying that he has lived in Eastern Washington for 44 years and cites his 31 years of experience with U.S. Department of Agriculture natural resources conservation service “listening to ranchers and farmers and helping them with conservation on their properties,” he said.
“I’m a life long hunter and I know what worries hunters have about wolves returning to our state, I talk with them everyday,” he said. “I may not be anti-wolf like some people in Okanogan County, but then again, there are a lot of people all over Eastern Washington who have mixed views of whether wolves are good or bad.””
Hmm…so it’s a “conflict of interest” because he works for a conservation organization that supports wolves. Would said representatives also then feel it was a conflict of interest to appoint someone who works for a hunting group? Undoubtedly. [sarc]
++Would said representatives also then feel it was a conflict of interest to appoint someone who works for a hunting group? Undoubtedly. [sarc]…++
I would fully expect there would be such symmetry from the other side of the aisle from the D’s, which until this year held the Senate, and have held the governorship, almost forever (which means they have control appointments for that long). Again, the state is not homogeneous, and those on the Eastern side of the Cascades and west of I-5 are where the wolves are or will be, and they don’t particularly want them. They are, of course, fewer in voting number, which creates the rub.
My recollection, from recent memory is there has not been a Commission member directly employed by a hunting group. So, this may be an instance of first impression in WA. Query, whether such a member should recuse himself/herself from certain votes which directly affect one’s employer’s position?
“Again, the state is not homogeneous, and those on the Eastern side of the Cascades and west of I-5 are where the wolves are or will be, and they don’t particularly want them.”
Except that the commissioner in question is a “lifelong hunter” and a resident of eastern Washington, so it seems at least some on the east side of the state don’t have a problem with wolves.
” Query, whether such a member should recuse himself/herself from certain votes which directly affect one’s employer’s position?”
Interesting question. I would be supportive. Return query: What about ranchers/farmers appointed to such positions whose votes directly impact their own livelihood? What’s good for the goose…
A guy who worked for USDA NRCS gets a regular pay check/benefits/retirement. The fact that he listens to farmer/ranchers bitch does not even come close to being one. You ought to hear them talk about federal gov’mnt employees behind their backs (FS/BLM/staters). Kehne probably has consistently had one of the best paying jobs in most of the communities he has worked/lived over his career. That brings not only envy, but hatred among some.
That said, from what I can tell, he seems like a pretty reasonable guy, and again, I personally have no problem with his appointment – except I think he should have an at large position, instead of a statutorily designated E. WA position, because I do not believe he represents their regional interests.
Louise Kane says:
whats good for the goose…
So conservation does not represent the values of Eastern Washington!?
Conservation might not be the values of the livestock operations and farmers, but this minority of the population has imposed its defective values on the people long enough, IMO.
Not sure if you understood my comment. Several states actually require some members of their wildlife boards/commissions to come from ranching or agriculture. Should these members recuse themselves when voting on policy that may impact their livelihoods? So, for example, if a corn/soybeans farmer was voting on deer harvest levels in his/her area?
I am certainly sympathetic to the notion that it is frustrating to have a commission composed entirely of people who don’t represent your views. This is why I have argued so strenuously for rethinking the structure of wildlife commissions/boards.
Elk275 says:
Should we elect the members of the state wildlife commission? I have thought about that several times.
I did understand your comment about board compositions and when they should or should not participate in votes.
I have actually seen or been involved in regulatory matters where individual board/commission members would participate in discussions on a topic, but then recuse themselves on a vote that involved their particular employer, but not recuse themselves when it affected a catagory in which their employer or their own business falls. That is why they are there, in a capacity set forth by statute, to weigh in and vote on matters that affect them generally.
Example: The state agency that regulates water quality in CO under the state and federal Clean Water Acts, has a commission which includes representation from industry. Coors Brewing (D appointment, by the way) held that seat for many years. This commission member voted on water quality standards and NPDES permit limits for waters of the state. He abstained if a voting matter directly (or even indirectly)involved the Coors NODES permits or enforcement actions for violations. That is how it should work, IMHO.
I don’t think a wildlife commission member should recuse him/herself from a deer harvest vote if it is generic to all units in a state (if prepared by staff). However, if something comes up that affects only that member’s interest, the high road would be to participate in discussion, but abstain from voting, and let others without the vested interest make the decision.
Should Kehne,if confirmed, participate in votes involving wolves? I think there is a valid question there, which should be asked and answered?
++So conservation does not represent the values of Eastern Washington!?++
Forgive the candor, here, but E. WA has the highest unemployment rates in the state. In these NE counties – Okanogan, Stevens, Ferry, Pend Orielle (where wolves first showed up)- the unemployment rate is about 12-15 percent. Source: https://fortress.wa.gov/esd/employmentdata/reports-publications/economic-reports/monthly-employment-report/map-of-county-unemployment-rates .
The rural economies here are focused on agriculture/forestry and mining, and I think the state even refers to the economy of Stevens county as “a frontier economy.” This is where Kehne lives.
Collectively the area is called, the “Forgotten Corner.” In that sense the area is not much different from rural parts of ID and MT, where human densities are low, and perceptions of wolves are that they just don’t want them, because they perceive they are most affected by them (right or wrong). In their view, “conservation,” however that term is defined, does not readily include wolves, just as it does not in several other areas of the US, yet this is where the wolves are, and growing in number.
Hunting of deer and elk is still a favorite recreational pass time there, as well as in culturally more refined areas like college town Ellensburg, fruit ranching Yakima (where a new Cabela’s store just opened), and wheat land/financial support center Spokane (the largest city east of the Cascade Divide, with something like 3 colleges).
To say Jay Kehne represents the core values of these communities with his own employment history, and values (even though he is a hunter), could in the minds of some who live there, be a rather large stretch. This part of the state is deep red by a fairly wide margin at the state and federal legislative levels, and if you doubt that, just take a look at Doc Hastings, their US Congress, House of Rep., from the 4th District, and Kathy McMorris-Rodgers from the 5th, both R’s. Again, solid red.
I don’t think the regional interests are looking for someone whose views seem to be in the “middle,” and who is currently works for and gets a monthly paycheck from the wolf advocacy organization, Conservation Northwest. It is also my understanding Kehne has in the past appeared before the WDFW Commission on behalf of CNW in an advocacy role giving testimony for input into the state wolf management plan.
Should those regional interests (R as they are) in that part of the state not question Kehne’s (D that he is) loyalty to that area, while employed by an organization based in the liberal, Puget Sound, college town of Bellingham, and pushing an agenda that is strongly urban – based, including its signature cause of wolves in WA?
It is also important to recognize a WDFW Commissioner presides over many issues besides wolves, that affects regional hunting and fishing opportunities, and other wildlife matters in the state. Regional input is important and is specified by statute, for appointment of Commission members. So, statutorily, this is how the Commission appointments are supposed to work.
“RCW 77.04.030 Commission — Appointment.
The fish and wildlife commission consists of nine registered voters of the state. …..Three members shall be residents of that portion of the state lying east of the summit of the Cascade mountains, and three shall be residents of that portion of the state lying west of the summit of the Cascade mountains. Three additional members shall be appointed at-large. No two members may be residents of the same county…”
And, by the way, Governor Gregoire let the Commission seat now occupied by Kehne remain vacant for over a year maybe longer, though the statute requires the governor to fill it within 60 days of a vacancy. So, who is playing politics, as they jockey to fill with their own party beyond their term of influence. See my earlier post on this aspect.
Addendum, paragraph 3 to JB:
NDOS should be NPDES permit.
Stands for National Pollution Discharge Elimination System, and specifies volume, and allowable pollutant discharge quality from a point souce of pollution, usually after treatment to reduce the pollution to an acceptable level for a receiving water body, like a stream, under certain specified low flow conditions.
bret says:
I think much of the opposition to Kehene’s appointment is not personal, in that the head of CNW is Mitch Friedman. People in that part of the state have long memories of Mitch’s youth as a tree sitting earthfirster.
My broader point is/was that commissioners almost always have a vested interest. To a great extent, this is why they are there. How many hunters have sat on fish and game commissions while also working for groups that have taken a position on issues that the commission/board addresses? And it is a backward argument (in my view) to suggest that a farmer/rancher who is self-employed should not have to recuse himself when his/her personal interest is at stake, while someone who works for another group should. Perhaps that isn’t what you intended to argue?
Nevertheless, Washington’s dilemma regarding the representativeness of their commission is one I’ve brought up several times in other contexts, only to have my views summarily dismissed.
In my opinion, commissions/boards should need to be broadly representative of the diverse stakeholders that are interested in wildlife and natural resources issues. Rule by a single interest group is the problem (whether we’re talking about Idaho or Washington).
PNW says:
Thank you for posting. I almost missed the deadline. The hearing is at 1:30 today. I was able to speak to the committee assistant and was assured that if I e-mailed my comments to her that she would give them to the Senators before the hearing.
Jay Kehne is awesome!
Valerie Bittner says:
WHAT IS THE E-MAIL ADDRESS?!!
ADDENDUM: Okay, I see them at the top. I’m going to send a summary of the torture that has been sanctioned by fish and game in ID, WYO, and Mt before 1:30 today!
The anti-wolf people are resorting to extreme tactics like they have been doing for quite a while. They only want people on the WDFW commission that represent and support their special interests. The anti-wolf group big game forever is telling people to send email messages in support of hunters and in opposition of those who are considered pro-wolf.
Here we go again, http://www.king5.com/home/7-eagles-near-death-after-eating-carcass-of-euthanized-horse-199966651.html. Excuse off subject for the wolf issue but this is also in Washington State. Before I retired I had several investigations like this one and each time it was, as this article explains, absolutely avoidable.
The problem starts usually with a well intentioned horse owner that contacts a veterinarian to humanely put down an aged or injured horse. The vet uses SODIUM PENTOBARBITAL a well known drug intended for this purpose. In the open spaces of a ranch the horse owner then proceeds to use his tractor to transport the carcass to a remote spot to decay. Along comes scavengers of all sorts for this new found feast. SODIUM PENTOBARBITAL is dispersed now throughout the carcass and is ingested by the scavengers. The smaller the scavenger the greater the secondary poisoning. In the case of eagles I have been able to walk up to those still surviving and pick them up without any struggle. But what usually happens is that ravens/crows attack the eagles on the carcass which have become nonresponsive due to the ingested SODIUM PENTOBARBITAL. I have recovered several eagles that have had their eyes pecked out by ravens and crows but are still alive. Don’t know why they attack the eyes but they do. The eagles actually do nothing to defend themselves, not even try to flutter away they just stand there in the drug induced stupor.
Problem that won’t go away: The horse owner has best intentions and the fact that he pays for a vet to administer a painless death speaks volumes as to his/her concern for animals. But no one including the vet who usually doesn’t really know what the rancher ultimately does with the carcass thinks about the potential for secondary poisoning. The only safe disposal is burning as burial is prone to digging up by bears. Large carnivores are not as much in jeopardy to outright death due to their larger body mass but can be disoriented for a time until it wears off.
On one of my cases I had good cooperation with the state veterinary society in sending out a news alert to members. My other course of action was to the largest supplier of SODIUM PENTOBARBITAL, The Fort Dodge Veterinary Supply Laboratory. Those I talked with there outright dismissed a request to add a warning on the label concerning the secondary poisoning potential to wildlife.
These instances have happened in every western state and probably further east. It will continue to happen in the scenario I listed above. Just thought those here should know and would be interested.
Ida Lupine says:
Outright dismissed? What’s the harm with adding this warning to the label? Sometimes I wonder if human beings really are the most intelligent form of life on earth. 🙁
very sad Larry
ramses09 says:
Good catch Ralph ….. & a BIG Thank You!!
As to the story about the horse, eagles, just very sad. There should be a warning to farmers/people who own horses that this would happen. Truly sad.
Larry – there are warnings on most of the vial labels and in the product inserts for veterinary euthanasia solutions. And most veterinarians in western states are aware of this problem – they should be, they can be on the hook for improper disposal of the carcasses as well as the owners since they prescribed (and administered) the controlled substance required to do the deed. It’s up to the veterinarians to monitor owner compliance with proper carcass disposal. There’s a reason why sometimes a bullet to the head is a better choice for euthanasia of large animals – wildlife included.
The warnings on my vials read:
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD:
This product is toxic to wildlife. Birds and mammals feeding on treated animals may be killed. Euthanized animals must be properly disposed of by deep burial, incineration, or other method in compliance with state and local laws, to prevent consumption of carcass material by scavenging wildlife.
TC,
That label is new since I was in the business 13 years ago. That’s good and welcome news. I certainly didn’t get much hope from the Fort Dodge folks back then and I did send the matter up the line in the USFWS. A couple of years later an agent in Nevada was again challenging Fort Dodge with this same issue but that was the year I retired so I lost track of any success he had. Hope that was the change needed. Puts a different focus on this recent Washington incident. Thanks for your update, appreciated.
Thanks for posting this Ralph, I am in regular touch with wildlife lovers in Washington and will make sure they see this. Others should call as well, and make a point to speak to the issue of the anti wolf campaign being conducted. How many people read here, thats a good start on calls?
Oliver Starr says:
Ralph, has anyone sent this letter to the larger media? Maybe to Jane Velez-Mitchell? Even after the fact this tactic should raise eyebrows, especially with some of the obvious conflicts of interest with people hand-picked by the anti-wolf, pro hunting, pro ranching organizations being unilaterally appointed. How does that represent government of, for and by the people.
We need to make sure that when these processes are corrupted those that are doing the corruption are taken to account and made visible in the bright light of the media. We’re destroying our ecosystems from the top down – these ugly thrill killers and welfare ranchers are responsible for an incredible amount of destruction that will haunt all of humanity for eons.
You do realize the D’s, recognizing there were probably not enough Senate votes to get Gregoire’s nominees appointed (Kehne and Jennings), did not come up for a vote. The Chairman of the Senate Natural Resources Committee admitted that, in the news article I posted above, from over a year ago. Under WA legislative rules, apparently appointees can still serve EVEN IF they don’t have their hearing and a Senate confirmation. Governor Gregoire’s advisors orchestrated that.
The majority balance has shifted, and now the R’s who chair the Senate NR Committee are playing politics. It is the way the system works – or doesn’t. So, who used the underhanded and corrupt tactics (if they were) first, in this instance? I would say, if the Senate requires confirmation of appointees it should occur timely, actually before individuals serve in the capacities for which they are chosen. What do you think?
Word is that none of the four commissioners came up for a vote yesterday.
Hi, I think I asked you this yesterday. If these four commissioners are not confirmed by the senate, can they still sit on the WDFW commission unconfirmed or if they are rejected by the senate?
I don’t know the answer to your question. It would be smart for pro-wolf people to contact the Seattle Times in which I just read an Examiner opinion piece by this anti-wolf Workman fellow.
Richie G says:
Did any of these anti-wolf people get in and if they did, I hate to ask this question but ,How much of an impact could they have against wolves? Hate to ask that one, Wm you are on top of your game how could this hurt the wolf in Washington state ?

Former Lady Vol Kara Lawson joins Boston Celtics staff as assistant coach
Former Tennessee women’s basketball star Kara Lawson will be joining the coaching ranks in the NBA as an assistant coach under Brad Stevens with the Boston Celtics.
The hire was first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski Thursday.
Lawson, who was a basketball analyst for ESPN, played for Pat Summitt from 1999-2003 before embarking on a 13-year WNBA career with the Sacramento Monarchs, Connecticut Sun and Washington Mystics.
Lawson was part of a WNBA championship team with the Monarchs in 2005.
In 2008, Lawson participated in the Olympic Games in Beijing, China where she helped Team USA to a gold medal finish.
As for Lawson’s broadcasting career, the Alexandria, Virginia native became the first-ever woman to work as an analyst on a nationwide NBA broadcast in 2007. In 2017, Lawson was named the primary television analyst for the Washington Wizards, becoming one of the first female TV analysts for an NBA team.
After Tennessee parted ways with former head coach Holly Warlick, Lawson, 38, was considered by some as a possible replacement before fellow former player Kellie Harper was hired in April.
Prior to being hired by the Celtics, Lawson served as a coach for the USA Basketball’s 3-on-3 teams, which are currently competing and prepping for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
Lawson will now join a group of women who are currently serving, or will be serving in an assistant coaching capacity this season. Others include Beck Hammon (San Antonio Spurs), Jenny Boucek (Dallas Mavericks) and Lindsay Gottlieb (Cleveland Cavaliers).

Tarik Black strong, physical
Memphis forward Tarik Black dunks against Michigan State forward Adreian Payne (5) in the second half of a third-round game of the NCAA college basketball tournament Saturday, March 23, 2013, in Auburn Hills, Mich.
The words “big, strong and physical” appeared on the University of Tulsa’s scouting report of former Memphis center Tarik Black last college basketball season.
“It’s pretty much what everybody else is talking about. His physical presence stands out more than anything,” said former Kansas University guard Brett Ballard, second-year assistant coach on Danny Manning’s TU staff. He was referring to Black, the 6-foot-9, 262-pound forward/center, who on Monday announced plans to transfer to KU. Memphis played, and defeated, Tulsa twice during the 2012-13 season.
“He’s not afraid of contact, likes a physical style of play, is not a threat to make any type of outside shot, an average free-throw shooter, good defender who gives them size, strength — a guy who played a lot of minutes at a high level,” Ballard added.
Black, who averaged 8.1 points and 4.8 rebounds while coming off the bench in 27 games and starting five his junior season, scored eight points off 2-of-5 shooting (4-for-7 from the line) and grabbed eight boards with two blocks and four fouls while playing 14 minutes in Memphis’ 94-64 victory over the Golden Hurricane on Feb. 2 in Memphis.
Black scored four points off 1-of-2 shooting (2-for-4 from the line) with seven boards and a steal while playing 15 minutes before fouling out of an 85-74 victory over TU in the Conference USA tournament last March in Tulsa.
“Their team was athletic. For us, he wasn’t the focal point,” Ballard said. “We put on there (scouting report), ‘Don’t give him easy baskets. He struggles at the line (44.8 percent last year compared to 58.9 from the field).’ We wanted to make him earn it at the line. He’s a guy we’d help off of on the perimeter. We were not concerned he’d make a shot from 15 feet.
“I felt he was a good rebounder,” Ballard added. “He has good hands and is not afraid to go get the ball. I feel he’ll be a solid rebounder in the Big 12.”
Black is expected to be a stabilizing force for KU’s young frontcourt. It’s possible he will battle freshman Joel Embiid for the starting center spot while supplying senior leadership either as a starter or sixth man.
“He didn’t start for them, so that makes you wonder, were the other guys that much better?” Ballard said. “To say a guy will come in and be a leader just because he’s a senior is not always necessarily the case. I think it depends on his personality how much of a leadership role he’ll have. He’ll provide experience that is valuable. Hopefully he’ll be a good leader to the other guys.”
Black will be immediately eligible to play in games at KU because of a rule that allows transfers to participate without sitting out a year provided they have earned an undergraduate degree. Black recently earned a degree at Memphis in the field of organizational leadership.
Tulsa benefited from the rule last year. Forward Kauri Black transferred from Northeastern to Tulsa for a final season and was an immediate starter, averaging 7.1 points a game.
“It’s sort of a similar situation. He started half the time at Northeastern,” Ballard said. “He knew how to practice hard and how to go through the grind of the season. He started every game and was good for our young big guys.”
Memphis this upcoming season will also benefit from the rule. Coach Josh Pastner has added George Washington senior transfer David Pellum, a 6-8, 220-pound forward who averaged 10.4 points and 6.1 rebounds as a junior in 2011-12. He sat out last season because of a wrist injury.
“It’s the rule,” Memphis coach Pastner told the Journal-World in a phone interview. “If a kid graduates, you are allowed to continue elsewhere. I support Tarik. He got a degree, and that is the important thing.”
This, that: Former KU guard Travis Releford will be participating in a 30-team draft workout today in Brooklyn, ESPN’s Chad Ford reports. ... Ford’s first post-lottery NBA Draft has KU’s Ben McLemore being selected No. 4 overall by Charlotte. Nerlens Noel will be No. 1, Trey Burke 2 and Otto Porter 3, he says. Ford says KU’s Jeff Withey will be taken at No. 22 and become a future teammate of Tyshawn Taylor with the Brooklyn Nets. ... There’s been some discrepancy in the weight of Black. Until summer measurements are taken, KU will now go with 262 pounds, which is Black’s listed weight at Memphis.

KUFan90 6 years, 1 month ago
A nice, grounded assessment of Black from Ballard. Im glad Black s in the fold, but like everything else, we need to temper our expectations for what he might do.
He has already been anointed "starter", "senior leader", and practically guaranteeing us a trip to the Final Four. Lets give him a chance to show us what he's got first.
Certainly lots of "potential" on this team for next year which should make it a fun ride!
kellerman411 6 years, 1 month ago
Ben got screwed by the lottery last night. Cleveland already has some nice pieces on the perimeter. If they keep the pick, it's Nerlens all day. Hopefully they trade to Orlando then maybe Ben has a shot.
KemDooKU 6 years, 1 month ago
Ben is making Millions either way so 1st, 2nd, 4th who cares - the second contract is what all these guys getting drafted should look forward to-
FarSideHawk 6 years, 1 month ago
Although I would love for Ben to go #1, I would be equally happy if he goes to Orlando and plays for my all-time favorite Jayhawk - Jacque Vaughn.
Phil Leister 6 years, 1 month ago
The 3 year difference between being selected number 1 and 2 is 1.5 million dollars. Nothing to sneeze at.

I would much rather have Ben go to a place that needs him and he can be successful. I wouldn't want him drafted #1 just to play behind other players.

What is "organized leadership"?
Tony Bandle 6 years, 1 month ago
Something that every governmental administration in U.S. history has strived for..and never quite attained!! :)
Normally, I would agree with all of the above posts, HOWEVER, since Andrew has put us in the fight with UK for the best draft classes, having two consecutive #1 picks would be huge for Kansas...especially since the current favorite at #1 is a UK guy.
Still, when it's all said and done, I too wish for Ben to land in the best stiuation possible for his career and his future.
JayHok 6 years, 1 month ago
Note to Cleveland GM. Research the Sam Bowie pick.
Or the Greg Oden pick.
Or the Darko pick
Bob Bailey 6 years, 1 month ago
Have been an advocate of 'muscle memory' in shooting free throws. If our coaches take it to heart, Black could be elevated to 75-80%. Scooter Barry confirmed it. Fairly simple to 'teach'. Close your eyes and rely on muscle memory!

What if his memory isn't very good? :)
Ann Oneill 6 years, 1 month ago
Putting up 1000 a day works if you have the right shooting technique. Hopefully someone from the coaching staff can correct his shot and he'll improve.

or just have Self not play him the last 3 minutes of a tight game...avoid the trips to the stripe
Tim Orel 6 years, 1 month ago
I'd like to see him put that "Organizational Leadership" degree to some use. Just from the title, I'd like to think he'd be a good leader for this team, but I'm wondering how he will blend in. Any word on what classes he'll be taking? Will he be a graduate student, or will he just be taking classes that don't lead to a degree. Having taken graduate courses, they're rather different than undergraduate classes in that they require quite a bit more reading and writing.
I wish EJ was using his muscle memory near the end of the KU - Michigan game! Oh I hate bringing up painful memories-
FearlessJayhawk 6 years, 1 month ago
Black can be just what the doctor ordered when it's crunch time and we need someone who won't be afraid to rattle the cage of some players. I hope he can reach his potential in time.
Todd Mobray 6 years, 1 month ago
Just remember, Kevin Young's old coaches at LMU didn't think they had a player that could contribute at school like KU and our coaching staff utilized/coached him into being a starter. Except for Elijah's regression or mis-positioning last year, you dont see too many player regress under Self's staff from all conference to non-starter.
It could have been recruiting, attitude, or lack of coaching at Memphis that led to that fall for Black, but two of the most highly respected coaches in the game thought it was worth risking a one year scholarship on Black.
Based on Self's history, I predict Traylor will start with Tharpe, Ellis, Seldon and Wiggins. He will hope that: 1. Black and/or Embiid can develop into starters over Traylor as the year goes on like Jackson did over Kaun. 2. Black and/or Embiid can have a late season emergence like Ellis did last season. 3. Black and/or Embiid can contribute a surprise half in a big game like Aldrich did in 2008 vs. UNC.
Joe Ross 6 years, 1 month ago
With much respect...
You can't call Elijah's down year as regression. He was thrust into playing a position that was not where he naturally fit, and he was not comfortable there. Self had no one else he could rely on to play that position so Elijah got stuck playing it. That can NOT be construed as regression. To your credit, I like your use of the word "mis-positioning", because it is appropriate in his case.
Secondly, don't underestimate Traylor this year. Inch for inch he has more athleticism than either Black or Embiid. Can four big men--Ellis, Black, Embiid, and Traylor--share two positions (Lucas will get the benefit of being brought along slowly in the style of Jackson, Kaun, Aldrich, Withey and others)? Gosh that's a lot of subs but Self kind of did it in '08 with Arthur, Jackson, Aldrich and Kaun. They will all stay fresh and, hopefully, out of foul trouble. My point is that in Self's system there is no real advantage or added benefit to starting because they will all get used and are all necessary.
I agree with everything you said jross. I imagine Traylor will start and stay there if he can contribute at all offensively and not get into foul trouble, but even if he doesn't Black seems to offer almost the same skill set.
When Traylor is plugged in, he is a beast. I think if we had a down recruiting year this year, the focus may have been on Ellis and Tharpe staying steady and Traylor needing to make a TRob-like leap in order for us to compete for a league title.
Jack Wilson 6 years, 1 month ago
jross .. respect as well. But tell me, what "skill" do you see in Traylor. Athleticism is one thing. But he is one player that made no real improvement from the first game to the last. I posted that a while back with many replies, but the only improvement anyone could note was his free throw shooting. Skill wins the day in this game. Embiid is a package of "skills" .. can't wait to see that kid progress.
But to your point on Lucas (which is a good one) .. and I think it applies to Traylor .. patience. Self, I am now dead sure, felt Traylor was not ready to be a key part of the rotation. Thus the pursuit of Black. Traylor will likely play the 8 mpg role he did last season.
I hate to always harp on rankings, but Traylor and Lucas are much different than Jackson, Kaun, Aldrich, and Withey -- the latter 4 were all basically top 50 (Jackson the lowest at #54). But that doesn't mean they can't be very good players by their junior and senior seasons.
Jeremy Wilhelm 6 years, 1 month ago
I think people that are high on Traylor believe that his athleticism, combined with his short exposure to the game make him a prime candidate to make a huge leap; the thinking may be that he just needs the reps and his skills will come up to meet the level of his physical gifts. Maybe that's a stretch to believe, but I think that is what people may be seeing/hoping for.
Benz Junque 6 years, 1 month ago
It was a regression simply because a senior who has played 4 years should not have been making such boneheaded decisions, regardless of what position they were asked to play. EJ made freshman mistakes a LOT. That has nothing to do with playing out of position. It was an issue of concentration and effort.
wrwlumpy 6 years, 1 month ago
This came out a few days before Black transferred. I thought this was an insightful article about this years starting lineup and who will play. Seldon is a combo guard with ball handling skills equal to Tharpe's and equal ability in penetration, however, Wayne is gigantic with the passing skills that remind you of Magic. Watch... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_Xs6o...
Ron Franklin 6 years, 1 month ago
All Black needs to do is set big, strong, wide-based screens for Tharpe and Wiggins to get a step on their guy. That's his role and hopefully 8-10 boards would be icing.
The negative responses re: Tarik Black on other articles surprises me.
Trust me...fellas...you're gonna WANT that COWBELL!
DanR 6 years, 1 month ago
Why the surprise about the negatives? Some people have seen him play. I lived in TN for a decade and follow MU and the Vols, and you can't find one Memphis fan sorry to see him leave... and he's a hometown kid.
Seriously, go find some Memphis games on ESPN3 and watch him. He's just not that good... isn't a banger, doesn't hustle. He's a game changer for the wrong direction, a foul machine, and--being a 45% free throw shooter--he's a liability on the floor at any point in the game which is why he didn't start and was used when games weren't on the line. I just hope he doesn't drag the rest of the team down.
The hype and expectations are kind of funny though. We'll see.
REHawk 6 years, 1 month ago
Trust me, DanR, no one player on a Bill Self team will continue to "drag the rest of the team down." Tarik is being offered a golden spoon in his final season of Division One play. If he fails to make the very best of what Kansas Athletics has to offer, that spoon will be ground into a highpowered garbage disposal. I trust in Bill Self to resurrect Tarik's potential. If Tarik chooses to play in Lawrence as he did last year in Memphis, then his game minutes will gradually, if not hastily, evaporate. That said, Kansas Hoops is a very different game than Memphis Hoops. Tarik has grasped an opportunity to leave college basketball in memorable style. Essential role playing minutes are his to lose. Bill Self will not overextend his patience to coddle a senior player who espouses poor effort or weak leadership. Soon, we shall see how hungry he is to fit into a major winning program. I'm betting that Tarik will rise to the occasion.
Perry Ellis was first big off the bench last eyar and gave us 6ppg and 4rpg. I can 100% guarantee that Black will be better than that and that's all we need. He is also a very good offensive rebounder, an area where KU has been very weak in recent years.
I fully expect that a season spend working with Coach Andrea Hudy will have Black in the best shape of his college life by the time the ncaa tourney gets here. I wouldn't be at all shocked to see him drop 20 pounds by then.
There were times where when we brought a big off the bench in to sub for Withey or Young that there was a complete lack of any productivity. All Black is being asked to do is to be better than that and to bang shoulders with the youngsters in practice to toughen them up a bit. Ellis played too soft last year, so I look for Black to be a key part of changing that. Going against wafer thin Young last year wasn't exactly forcing Ellis to learn to be strong with the ball, with his positioning and with his moves to the rim. Try that weak-a$$ stuff on Black in practice and Ellis will get plowed into the wall.
TMJhawk 6 years, 1 month ago
There's no doubt a big horse like Black can save a game once on a while. I remember Venon Vanoy in the mid 60's. It wasn't always pretty but he could terrorize an opposing team. Black has a higher skill set as well as the muscle
Michael Lindsey 6 years, 1 month ago
TMJhawk, you sparked an old memory. When I was at KU, a friend said she needed another player for a co-ed volleyball game. I volunteered thinking it would be a breeze. My biggest recollection is being across the net from Vernon Vanoy and you wanna talk about being spiked? Lemme tell you I think the ball bounced off my head and hit the ceiling in old Robinson a few times.
nuleafjhawk 6 years, 1 month ago
There's a name I hadn't heard for a while ! (Vernon, actually). He was a beast !
Worst decision ever to go play football..if you remember, he was named the Big Eight Basketball Sophomore of the Year. Never was the same after joining the football team and never really excelled in either sport!!
JJHAWK 6 years, 1 month ago
I remember the chant well. It rang thoughout the field house.
"Kill Vernon Kill. Kill Vernon Kill." And he was big enough to do it. In todays age not politically correct but sure was fun then!
That first pic looks like Busta Rhymes
Post of the Year.
Duke fans are not very happy with Self right now. Coach K is not happy either. He got so mad yesterday he agreed to be the USA olympic coach even though it exhausts him during the regular season.
Any day you can simultaneously piss off Duke, UK and North Carolina fans is a good day indeed!! If you can add in K-State fans, it gets upgraded to a "great day"!!!
Um....Mizzou fans!!! Mizzou fans!!!
Mizzou .. marching toward the destiny that defines their athletic department. That coveted women's softball title. Grrrrr .. Tigers!
eric poncharello 6 years, 1 month ago
Black will have to earn his playing time. I don't like the fact he quit on his team during practices, although I know Richard Scott would leave basketball practices sitting in the hallway of Allenfield house sulking, but, he would always go back.
by eric poncharello
Jonathan Even 6 years, 1 month ago
These next couple years is going to show exactly how well KU can develop big men without Danny Manning. The level of talent is all over the place with NBA expectations and project role players. Jeff Withey and Kevin Young continued to exceed expectations this past year. Ellis didn't play well til the post season but I think we can all conclude that we had unreasonably high hopes for him.
I think we will continue to see post players closing in on their potential under Bill Self. Five reasons: strength and conditioning program, expectations and demands to be better, work harder; coaching experience (with an assist from Danny for 8 years), toughness, and the high low system.
And Wiggins and Selden will also be fun to watch.
monkeehawkSL8 6 years, 1 month ago
Conner F will be spending time with Tarik @ the free throw line daily. Tarik will develop a perfect stroke and by years end will shoot above 75%, ice in his veins. He may become so good that he will chosen to shoot tech's. ( on seniors night )
I hope that this remarkable team that has been built develops a bond that surpasses
08'. I hope they take care of each other, hold each other accountable and set a new bar in being coach able. I hope that every athlete in the nation in any sport thinks " I want to have what the Jayhawks have".
And humble, RCJH KAAAAAAAAUOOOOOOO

The Story | The Songs | The Reviews
For many years before I called Elizabeth Mitchell a friend, her music filled my home and touched my family. From the very first listen I gave to her 2002 album You Are My Sunshine, Elizabeth’s voice eased its way into our home and filled it—and us—with sound of a gentle, loving nature. In those early days of parenting the littlest of souls, her melodies became a part of our everyday life. Lyrics gentle and easy enough so that the youngest among us could join in somehow, and songs sweet enough that they bore repeated singing through our days. Approachable, pretty, and friendly―these songs wove their way into my mind and our family’s heart.
Sunny Day continues in the same tradition and grows in new and wonderful ways, as family life has a way of doing. As the bonds of family and friends grow older and stronger with age, Elizabeth invites us to rejoice with her own. With the continued and growing accompaniment of her daughter Storey and husband Daniel, Sunny Day greets listeners with a “welcome home” as we join them―track after track―in song once again.
Just like the rhythm of our days—the pulse of our family life—Sunny Day inspires a steady rhythm of family connection and togetherness: gently guiding us through the course of a day in song and dance (because one can’t help but dance!)—taking us everywhere from bed to the kitchen, to school, to the garden, and tucked back safely in bed at night. The songs bring our attention to the magical, mysterious, fabulous, and special simple moments of everyday living―all the while connecting us to each other, the animals and people of the wide world, and the pleasures found in the earthly delights around us.
Sunny Day is a collection of “handmade” music of the finest kind, for folks of all ages. Steeped in the tradition, history, and comfort of the folksingers and elders before us and spun with the modern delight and wonder of children, the songs are as young and magical as the very young and magical songwriting family making the music.
In a world that can often feel overwhelming, chaotic, and just too busy, this music is a deep sigh of peace and a full smile of love. The songs gently encourage us to remember and honor childhood as a time of exploration, wonder, and imagination. No matter our age, we are reminded that there is great pleasure to be found in the simplest of small, ordinary, and beautiful moments in everyday life. As we listen to the words of peace and share them with our family through song, borders and age fade away . . . and loving arms hold us close together as a family. In that place, we become open to the promise and possibility that today…. “it’s gonna be a lovely day.”
—Amanda Blake Soule
Dear Friends:
I just finished my song notes and—wow—each song really has a long story! I guess for some people like me, songs are treasures, journeys, best friends, full of meaning and memories. For our family, these songs have become all these things and more. They are a bridge from our home to yours, allowing us to share moments with you and to travel to places we never dreamed we would go.
As I write this, Storey is one month away from turning nine years old! When we last met with the release of You Are My Little Bird, she was five. Storey grows, the music grows, and I try to keep up with them and the muses, sounds, and inspirations that fly around my head like little birds.
We’ve made so many lovely friends in Woodstock and beyond these last few years. I am so grateful to be able to share with you these sounds that we made together.
— Elizabeth Mitchell

Kanye West Approves of Nike’s Partnership With Colin Kaepernick
Rob Kim / Tibrina Hobson, Getty Images (2)
President Donald Trump may not be a fan of Nike's new Just Do It campaign with NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, but Kanye West approves.
The always outspoken Yeezy hopped on Twitter on Monday (Sept. 10) to share his thoughts about the campaign and commended Nike for giving Kap a voice, just like Adidas did for him. "I stand for giving everyone a voice," 'Ye tweeted. "Adidas giving me a voice and Nike giving Colin voice on a big business level makes the world a more advanced place."
Kanye also sent out another tweet after that, saying he loves when people receive support for using their voices. "Love vs. Fear I love when human beings are supported for using their voice," he wrote.
The Chicago rapper's post is a stark contrast from his "dragon energy" brother President Trump, who slammed the athletic brand on Sept. 7. "What was Nike thinking?" Trump tweeted. The commander-in-chief has also been critical of Kaepernick and other NFL players protesting during the national anthem, calling them "sons of bitches."
Up next for Kanye, the Windy City MC has teased a sequel to his 2011 collaborative album with Jay-Z, Watch the Throne. On Sept. 8, the rapper tweeted that Watch the Throne 2 would be coming soon. Since the release of the original project, Yeezy and Hov's relationship soured, although the two seem to be on better terms now.
While it's uncertain who Kanye is working on the alleged sequel with, he was recently spotted in the studio with 6ix9ine. Pictures of the two working together eventually ended up online.
Check out Kanye West's tweet below.

approximately 32 passengers and at least 3 crew members, consisting of a flight attendant, and two pilots. Each seat was equipped with a seatback television and chest seatbelts. The spaceplane also had one restroom and wheels for an atmospheric landing on Earth. When traveling to Space Station V, the spaceplane rendezvoused with the central hanger. In 2001: A Space Odyssey, Heywood Floyd traveled to Space Station V on the spaceplane as the sole passenger on an early-morning flight. The spaceplane is equipped with aerospike rocket engines and jet engines for atmospheric flight.
Flight attendants on the Orion III Spaceplane and the Aries Ib Lunar Lander wore large caps to contain their hair and Velcro "Grip Shoes" that prevented floating in weightless conditions.
The main aisle is elevated above the main seating area, most likely to prevent passengers from floating into the aisle.
The spaceplane has eight rows of four seats, with each column being two seats wide.

Data tells us that investors love a good story
Russ Heddleston Contributor Share on Twitter Russ is the cofounder and CEO of DocSend. He was previously a product manager at Facebook, where he arrived via the acquisition of his startup Pursuit.com, and has held roles at Dropbox, Greystripe, and Trulia. Follow him here: @rheddleston and @docsend More posts by this contributor
Pitching your product will kill your fundraising
Hundreds of billions of dollars in venture capital went into tech startups last year, topping off huge growth this decade. Here at DocSend, we’re seeing the downstream effects in our data: investors who receive DocSend links are reviewing more pitch decks than ever, as more people build companies and try to get a slice of the funding opportunities.
So it stands to reason that making your pitch deck stand out is critical to raising a round. But how do you do that in such a competitive landscape?
After analyzing both successful and failed fundraising pitch decks, we’ve learned that storytelling matters and this hasn’t changed over the last few years. This makes intuitive sense — who doesn’t love a good story?
But does telling a story help founders raise capital successfully? And more importantly, do you fail to fundraise if you don’t tell a story? In this post, I’m going to share some hard evidence.
It follows up on my post over on TechCrunch, looking at three big mistakes we see in failed pitch decks.
Before we start diving into the data, here’s why we know: our document sharing and tracking platform is used every day by thousands of startups to share their decks securely with investors, with visits to pitch decks shared via DocSend having grown 4x from 2017 to 2018. Controlling for DocSend’s growth, we estimate that investors are viewing 35% more decks in 2018 than they did in 2017.
In total, over 100,000 users have shared over 2.2 million links through DocSend since we launched in 2014, and these documents have received over 220 million views; while we’ve grown quickly among sales, business development and customer success teams, startup pitch decks have continued to be a popular use-case. We’ve also been analyzing the pitch data in a collaboration with Harvard Business School since 2015, so we’re experienced at analyzing and interpreting this data.
First impressions stick
The old adage “you only get one chance to make a first impression” is true when it comes to pitch decks, and in fact that was the case for our company’s own fundraising process. When I pitched DocSend for our seed round, I knew what we were up against — why will this be a big business? And, why won’t Google build this? Our product was still in private beta, and we had no revenue. However, we had an MVP and those who were using our product, including our potential investors, found the product to be very useful.

Vintage Wedding Traditions
By Jenny Zappala | February 14, 2013
Sixty-four years later, Wayne and Joyce Eberhardt of Issaquah are still laughing about the wheelbarrow. In July 1948, a few weeks after they were married, the newlyweds spent the night at a relative’s house. In the middle of the night, they were awakened by a tremendous racket of bells, whistles, pots, pans and shouting. It’s Chiverie!
Chiverie is a wedding-night prank — a crowd clanging pots and pans, ringing bells and tooting horns interrupts the wedding couple at night. The bride and the groom are expected to appear in their wedding clothes and give treats to their tormentors. For the Eberhardts, the pranksters brought a wheelbarrow for the new wife to hop into and the husband to wheel her around in. In good humor, Wayne and Joyce Eberhardt finished a few laps around the yard with the wheelbarrow as the crowd cheered. The merry pranksters were invited inside for food and drink.
“Then the party really started,” Wayne said, laughing.
Wedding traditions, superstitions and pranks persist because they are fun and meaningful. Every spring, residents at University House Issaquah and the Gardens at Town Square of Bellevue gather and share their wedding stories. At Gardens at Town Square, residents passed around their wedding portraits last year while they traded tales. At University House Issaquah, residents decorated cupcakes to celebrate.
Savoring their cupcake treats, Larry and Gweneth Bliss of Issaquah explained how their wedding day, March 15, 1952, ended with a traditional English celebration — known as the “wedding breakfast.” The happy couple, their friends and family enjoyed a church service followed by a typical church reception with cake. That evening, the bride’s parents invited select guests to their house for the wedding breakfast, a special party to celebrate the newlyweds’ first meal together as a married couple. (Traditionally, it’s called a breakfast because, in 19th-century England, marriages could be solemnized only between 8 a.m. and noon — so the first meal really was breakfast back then.) Eventually, the couple slips away to their honeymoon.
“We carried that tradition on,” said Gweneth Bliss.
The Bliss family hosted a wedding breakfast for their daughter, Karen, and her new husband, Kendall Demaree, in 1997. About 50 invited guests crammed into the Blisses’ Shoreline home to eat roast beef, ham, soup and scores of other dishes. Guests partied so late that many spent the night wherever they found room in the house.
“I borrowed freezers (from neighbors) across the street,” said Gweneth Bliss. “It was fun, because I like to cook and stuff. I like to prepare. I know I was worn out, but we had a lot of fun.
At the Gardens at Town Square, Marjorie Smith of Bellevue clapped her hands with joy to see her long-sleeve candlelit satin wedding dress, which she hadn’t seen in 62 years. She happily described her nuptials to Frank Calhoun Smith on July 17, 1948, in Washington, D.C., as a “neighborhood wedding” — a church wedding followed by a reception in the family home for about 35 people.
“My mom worked all day on it. We didn’t have any air conditioning, and D.C. in July is very hot — very, very hot, honey,” Smith said. “It was lovely. My mother put it on. Then we honeymooned in Canada. … My wedding wasn’t elaborate. It was nice.”
Marjorie Smith wore her sister’s tiara on her wedding day. It wasn’t uncommon for brides to share wedding dresses, tiaras, jewelry and other items. The first to marry in her family, Mary Early of Bellevue bought a long-sleeve white satin dress with lots of lace for her wedding in 1949. Two cousins from Ireland and a girl in the neighborhood also wore the wedding dress in their weddings. In the 1980s, Early’s daughter, Patti Murphy of Bellevue, got married in the dress, too. Not bad for a $100 dress.
“I call it the ‘traveling dress,’” said Early.
Joyce Eberhardt and her mother went shopping for her trousseau — the personal possessions (typically clothes and linens) that a bride assembles before marriage. For Joyce, that meant all her honeymoon clothes. “I was married in July, but I still had a going-away suit with gloves,” she said.
To complete the bridal outfit, brides often turned to the familiar Victorian rhyme:
Something old, something new,
Something borrowed, something blue,
And a silver sixpence in her shoe.
Each item is a good-luck token. “Something old” symbolizes continuity with the bride’s family and the past. “Something new” means optimism and hope for the bride’s future. “Something borrowed” is usually an item from a happily married friend or family member, whose good fortune in marriage, it is hoped, will carry over to the new bride. The borrowed item also reminds the bride that she can depend on her friends and family. (The borrowed item should be returned to secure that luck.) As for the colorful item, blue has been connected to weddings for centuries as a symbol of love, modesty and fidelity.
Joan McNeil of Bellevue followed the lucky rhyme when she got married on Aug. 28, 1948, to Manford McNeil. She wore her grandmother’s old handkerchief, a new veil, a borrowed satin wedding dress and a blue garter. So she was properly attired for her church wedding and church hall reception of roughly 100 guests, who were entertained by a singer and organ music.
The rhyme “was something that people said,” McNeil said. “A lot of people did it.”
Completing the rhyme, Joyce Eberhardt wore a penny in her sandal on her wedding day. A penny or a dime is often substituted for the silver sixpence in the bride’s shoe, but whatever the coin, it represents wealth and financial security. (A sixpence is a silver coin that was minted in Britain from 1551 to 1967 and is worth six pennies.)
Her husband, Wayne Eberhardt, had a different shoe experience. Merry pranksters wrote two words in big letters on the bottom of his shoes, one word on each shoe. So when Wayne knelt at the altar for communion, everyone read on the bottom of his shoes, “Help Me.”
Superstitions and pranks aside, the most important tradition is the vows. Traditional text or personalized prose, vows meld two lives into one. Married 57 years, Bernie Hancock of Bellevue said his marriage to Margie “then and is now the happiest day of my life.” The vows make all the difference.
“To love, to honor and obey — we married for keeps. We worked out our problems, which gave us great experience,” Hancock said. “It’s a great privilege to be around people like these. We didn’t marry and dissolve because something didn’t work out. We married and we worked it out.”
Here is advice for couples of all ages, especially the engaged and newlyweds.
“In planning, don’t go overboard.” – Gweneth Bliss of Issaquah
“It’s important to be married in your own home church so your friends there can support you.” – Gweneth Bliss of Issaquah
“Be sincere and honest with each other.” – Larry Bliss of Issaquah
“Don’t rush into it.” – Mary Early of Bellevue
“Never stay mad long.” – Joyce Eberhardt of Issaquah
“Humor gets us out of a lot of bad situations.” – Wayne Eberhardt of Issaquah
“Learn how to compromise at 60 percent to 40 percent. (Sixty percent compromise for men, 40 percent compromise for women, of course!)” – Bernie Hancock of Bellevue
“Have lots of patience and never go to bed mad. You have to get to know the person and be with them.” – Marjorie Smith of Bellevue

Consistent manifold representation for topological data analysis

For data sampled from an arbitrary density on a manifold embedded in Euclidean space, the Continuous k-Nearest Neighbors (CkNN) graph construction is introduced. It is shown that CkNN is geometrically consistent in the sense that under certain conditions, the unnormalized graph Laplacian converges to the Laplace-Beltrami operator, spectrally as well as pointwise. It is proved for compact (and conjectured for noncompact) manifolds that CkNN is the unique unweighted construction that yields a geometry consistent with the connected components of the underlying manifold in the limit of large data. Thus CkNN produces a single graph that captures all topological features simultaneously, in contrast to persistent homology, which represents each homology generator at a separate scale. As applications we derive a new fast clustering algorithm and a method to identify patterns in natural images topologically. Finally, we conjecture that CkNN is topologically consistent, meaning that the homology of the Vietoris-Rips complex (implied by the graph Laplacian) converges to the homology of the underlying manifold (implied by the Laplace-de Rham operators) in the limit of large data.
Keywords: Topological data analysis, Laplace-de Rham operator, manifold learning, spectral clustering, geometric prior.

(a) Using $ \delta = 3N^{-1/7} $ and letting $ \vec f_i = \sin(\theta_i) $ we compare the pointwise estimate $ \left(c^{-1}L_{\rm un}\vec f \right)_i $ (red, dashed) to the true operator $ \Delta f(x_i) = -\sin(\theta_i) $ (black, solid).

(c, d) Same as (a, b) respectively but with $ \delta = 3N^{-1/3} $

Figure 5. (a) Standard $ \epsilon $-ball persistent 1-homology reveals that no value of $ \epsilon $ captures both holes simultaneously: Each homology class persists at separate $ \epsilon $ scales. (b) When $ \epsilon = 0.16 $ we see that the small hole is completely triangulated (the black segment completes the triangulation), while the large hole is still not connected. (c) CkNN persistent 1-homology as a function of $ \delta $ shows that both homology classes (top two lines) are present simultaneously over a large range of $ \delta $ values. (d) When $ \delta = 0.1 $, the resulting graph represents the true topology of the manifold
Figure 6. (a) Data sampled from a 2-dimensional Gaussian with a radial gap forming a non-compact manifold. (b) Standard fixed $ \epsilon $-ball persistence diagram has no persistent region with 2 connected components and one non-contractible hole. (c) When $ \epsilon = 0.135 $ the 1-homology is correct, but outliers are still not connected. (d) For $ \epsilon = 0.16 $ the outliers are still not connected and the middle section is bridged. For any size gap this bridge will happen in the limit of large data as the outliers become more spaced out. (e) CkNN persistence in terms of $ \delta $ shows the correct homology ($ \beta_0 = 2 $ and $ \beta_1 = 1 $) for $ 0.180<\delta<0.215 $. (f) The CkNN construction for $ \delta = 0.20 $
Figure 1. Rectangular regions indicate the true clusters. (a) Circles of a fixed radius $ \epsilon $ show that bridging of the dense regions occurs before any connections are made in the sparse region. (b) Graph connecting all points with distance less than $ \epsilon $
Figure 2. Data set from Fig. 1.(a) Graph based on connecting each point to its (first) nearest neighbor leaves all regions disconnected internally. (b) Connecting each point to its two nearest neighbors bridges the sparse region to one of the dense regions before fully connecting the left and center boxes
Figure 3. Data set from Fig. 1.(a) Color indicates the relative values of the bandwidth function $\rho(x) = d(x,x_k)$ using $k = 10$ and optimally tuning $\delta$ (blue = low, red = high). (b) Graph connecting pairs of data points with $||x-y|| < \delta \sqrt{\rho(x)\rho(y)}$. Notice that the connected components are fully connected and triangulated, yielding the correct homology in dimensions $0, \; 1$, and $2$
Figure 4. Non-compact version of data set from Fig. 1, density of leftmost 'box' decays continuously to zero. (a) The kNN 'AND' construction bridges the components while the 1-homology still has spurious generators (holes) in the sparse regions. (b) The CkNN is capable of capturing the correct homology for this data set. Both methods use $k = 10$ and the value of $\delta$ was tuned to give the best results for each method. Decreasing $\delta$ for (a) would obtain the correct clusters but introduce more spurious holes
Figure 7. The fast clustering algorithm applied to a set of three spirals with densities which decay exponentially along the length of the spiral. (a) 1000 total points sampled from three 2-dimensional spirals in the plane. (b) Diagram shows number of clusters as a function of the percentage of possible edges added to the graph (a unitless measure of persistence) (c) Graph corresponding to the maximum number of edges with 3 components, colored according to identification by depth-first-search. (d) 2000 total points sampled from three 3-dimensional spirals in $\mathbb{R}^3$. (e) Large interval identifies the correct number of clusters. (f) Graph with maximum number of edges having 3 components, colored by clustering algorithm
Figure 8. Persistence of the clustering of a cut-Gaussian distribution using the multi-scale graph construction with $\rho = q^{\beta}$, where the distribution is in dimension (a) $1$ (b) $2$ (c) $3$ (d) $4$. Persistence is measured as a percentage of the total number of possible edges in the graph, $N(N-1)/2$ as a function of $\beta$. Each data point represents an average over 500 data sets, each data set starts with sufficiently many points randomly sampled from an $m$-dimensional Gaussian so that after points in the gap region are rejected there are $N$ points remaining. The correct homology (two connected components) is most persistent when $\beta$ is near $-1/m$ implying the optimal multi-scale graph construction is the CkNN construction where $\rho\propto q^{-1/m}$
Figure 9. Persistence of the true homology using the multi-scale graph construction with $\rho = q^{\beta}$. The underlying data sets are (a) a cut 1-dimensional Gaussian embedded in the plane with a loop introduced and (b) the same 2-dimensional cut Gaussian density as in Fig. 8(b). Persistence is measured as a percentage of the total number of possible edges in the graph, $N(N-1)/2$ as a function of $\beta$. Each data point represents an average over 200 data sets. The correct homology ($\beta_0 = 2$ and $\beta_1 = 1$ for both (a) and (b)) is most persistent when $\beta$ is near $-1/m$ implying the optimal multi-scale graph construction is the CkNN construction where $\rho\propto q^{-1/m}$
Figure 10. (a) Four simple patterns whose sub-image orbifolds exhibit nontrivial homology. The true values of $\beta_1$ for the four patterns are $1,2,2,$ and $3$ respectively. (b) Using fixed $\epsilon$-ball graph construction and selecting $\epsilon$ from the region where the homology generators span the largest proportion $L$ of total edges without changing (the most persistent homology). (c) Using the CkNN construction and selecting $\delta$ from the region where the homology generators span the largest $L$ without changing. The homology was computed with JavaPlex [42]
Figure 11. (a) Image of zebra stripes [17]. (b) Persistence diagram for the space of subimages. (c) The CkNN graph construction on the subimage space with $ \delta $ chosen from the longest region where the homology is constant. (d) Image of fish scales [24]. (e) Persistence diagram. (f) The CkNN graph construction on the PCA projection of the subimage space with $ \delta $ chosen from the longest region where the homology is constant. The homology was computed with JavaPlex [42]
Figure 13. For $ N \in \{250,500,1000,2000,4000,8000\} $ we show (a) the root mean squared error (RMSE) of the pointwise approximation of $ c^{-1}L_{\rm un}\vec f \approx -\sin(x_i) $ where $ \vec f_i = \sin(x_i) $ and (b) the RMSE of the first 5 eigenvalues of $ c^{-1}L_{\rm un} $. Both (a) and (b) are averaged over 10 random data sets for each $ N $ and each $ \delta $ and the minimum RMSE in each curve is highlighted with a black point. (c) For each $ N $, we plot the optimal $ \delta $ for pointwise approximation (black points) and the theoretical power law $ \delta \propto N^{-1/7} $ (black, dashed line) and the optimal $ \delta $ for spectral approximation (red points) and the theoretical power law $ \delta \propto N^{-1/3} $ (red, dashed line)

NT decriminalises abortion and legalises access to RU486
Sheshtyn Paola 22/03/2017
Meanwhile there is continued pressure on the NSW and Queensland governments to follow in NT’s footsteps
The Northern Territory Parliament has passed legislation decriminalising and legalising abortion, as well as extending access and related services.
The state’s Health Minister, Natasha Fyles says the new legislation will allow Northern Territory women to access the same medical services available elsewhere in Australia.
“We believe all Territory women are entitled to control over their lives and access to high quality services,” she says.
“That’s why we’ve introduced new legislation that gives Territory women the same access to medical termination drugs, like RU486, that other women in Australia have.
“The changes provide safe options for termination of pregnancy, bringing the legislation up to date with contemporary medical and legal practices.”
Commencing next month, the new legislation will:
Remove the requirement for all termination of pregnancy procedures to be performed in a hospital;
Provide opportunities for termination of pregnancy services to be provided in ‘out of hospital settings’ such as day surgeries and specialist clinics;
Ensure that early medical termination of pregnancy using drugs such as RU486 is possible in ‘out of hospital settings’;
Open the way for suitably qualified doctors (other than obstetricians and gynaecologists) to provide termination services for pregnancies under 14 weeks;
Ensure doctors and other health staff who conscientiously object to involvement in a termination of pregnancy refer women to a doctor who can provide these services;
Include safe access zones around the premises where termination of pregnancy services are provided, to prevent women being harassed when attending and to give suitable protections to those working there; and
Change criminal offence provisions under the Criminal Code Act.
The Northern Territory is now added to the list of Australian states that have decriminalised abortion, including the ACT, Victoria, Tasmania.
However in NSW and Queensland, abortion is currently a criminal offence unless it is deemed to be lawful.
This test for lawfulness is often unclear, medical and legal experts have argued.
In an article published in the Medical Journal of Australia last October, lawyer Professor Heather Douglas and obstetrician-gynaecologist Professor Caroline de Costa wrote that these laws are making it too difficult for women and girls to access abortion in a timely and safe manner.

Voluntary assisted dying a step closer
Victoria’s Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill has been passed through the state’s lower house following an emotional debate
The introduction of the Bill followed a report by the Ministerial Panel on Voluntary Assisted Dying, headed by former AMA president Dr Brian Owler, which included 68 safeguards, all of which the Andrews Government accepted when drafting the legislation.
Under the legislation, pharmacists would supply lethal medication in a “locked box” following a strict procedure which would be self-initiated by the person living with a life-limiting illness.
Victoria’s Health Minister, Jill Hennessy, said that this was a “historic” day for the state.
“We are one step closer to getting this done – but there is more work to do,” she says.
“This week we have seen incredibly powerful contributions from all sides of the debate as Members of Parliament have shared their personal experiences and given this issue the consideration it deserves.
“This vote brings us closer to giving Victorians with terminal illnesses the choice they deserve at the end of their lives.”
The success of the legislation follows a long and often heated debate in the Lower House, in which several Members expressed concern about a range of issues, including the impact on health professionals of assisting a terminally ill person to end their life.
Liberal state deputy leader and member for Croydon David Hodgett said that “no doctor goes into medical practice because they want to end life”.
“Doctors are not the only medical professionals that are affected. There are the pharmacists who will prepare the drugs they know to be deadly. There are the nurses who may hear the first appeals from patients and who may be present when the patient is assisted to take their own life,” he said.
“How will any of these dedicated health professionals feel after a patient suicide? Will they feel responsible for a premature death, one they could have avoided, if only for a few months? That they cannot be prosecuted will not relieve them of feelings of guilt or regret.”
Ben Carroll, Minister for Industry and Employment, spoke passionately in favour of the Bill, citing the case of Clive Deverell, former executive director of Cancer Council Western Australia and former president of Palliative Care WA, who took his own life after living for two decades with a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
“At his funeral his wife, Noreen Fynn, told family and friends that he left a note that said, ‘Suicide is legal, euthanasia is not’.
“This landmark legislation will make right a cruel law which at the moment is prejudicial to the interests and wishes of patients.”
Should the Bill pass the Upper House, there will be an 18-month implementation period before access to voluntary assisted dying will begin, in order to clarify roles and processes, including those involving pharmacists.
Victorian president of the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia Ben Marchant told the AJP that the PSA would “be looking at it in detail and working out what we need to do”.
“We’ve been doing quite a bit of background work already in preparation for its coming out – I’ve got a team of our branch committee members working on it at the moment.”
Meanwhile, doctor groups appear divided on the issue.
RACGP president Dr Bastian Seidel said that he is satisfied that ethical and professional issues associated with voluntary assisted dying have been appraised appropriately in the Bill, which he welcomed.
But AMA president Dr Michael Gannon has received negative feedback after taking to Twitter to criticise the Bill.
Intellectual case for #Euthanasia #VAD bankrupt. Don't forever alter society 'coz few powerful people see parent die https://t.co/uiNjxLbWtV
— AMA President (@amapresident) October 17, 2017
An AJP mini-poll this week shows two-thirds of respondents (68%) support voluntary assisted dying, with 32% in opposition; however the poll’s sample size is very small, at 25 at the time of writing.

Abstract open button
The serine/threonine kinase Raf-1 is crucial for transducing intracellular signals emanating from numerous growth factors. Here we used the J2E erythroid cell line transformed by the ν-raf/ν-myc oncogenes to examine the effects of erythropoietin on endogenous Raf-1 activity. Despite the presence of constitutively active v-raf in these cells, Raf-1 exokinase activity increased after erythropoietin stimulation. This increase in enzymatic activity coincided with tyrosine phosphorylation of Raf-1 on residue Y341. Significantly, the tyrosine kinase Lyn coimmunoprecipitated with Raf-1, and Raf-1 was not tyrosine-phosphorylated in a J2E subclone lacking Lyn. Therefore, it was concluded that Lyn may be the kinase responsible for tyrosine phosphorylating Raf-1 and increasing its exokinase activity in response to erythropoietin.

The peregrine falcon has “great” year in Acadia, 11 chicks fly
UPDATE 7/29/2016: Park today announces reopening of Precipice, Jordan Cliffs and parts of Valley Cove Trails, and closure of 1-mile section of Valley Cove Trail between Flying Mountain and Man o’ War Brook because of deteriorating trail conditions.
A biologist at Acadia National Park said several popular hiking trails at Acadia National Park should open by early next week, following “a great” year for the peregrine falcon at the park.

Bruce Connery, wildlife biologist at Acadia, said 11 peregrine falcon chicks fledged, or took their first flight, at the park’s three main nesting sites this year. That’s up from 7 for each of the prior two years at those sites.
He said the peregrine falcon nests at the Precipice on the east face of Champlain Mountain and Jordan Cliffs each produced four fledged falcons and the nest at Valley Cove, three.
“It is great,” he said in an interview on Wednesday. “We usually have good success at one site, sometimes two. It is a rare to have that kind of success at three sites.”
He said there was also a chick of the peregrine falcon at Ironbound Island this year with a photo taken by the Bar Harbor Whale Watch Co. The park holds a conservation easement on Ironbound, a privately owned island in Frenchman Bay.
This trail closure sign on the Orange & Black Path, shown in early July, will soon be coming down.
The Precipice Trail, the Jordan Cliffs Trail, part of the Orange & Black Path and the Valley Cove Trail, which were closed early this spring to protect the falcon chicks, should all open maybe this weekend or by early next week, he said. The trails usually do open in early August every year.
The park has not officially announced the date for reopening the trails and trail crews still need to approve some trail sections for safety reasons for hikers, he said. The park announced the trail closures in March.
Banner year for the peregrine falcon in Acadia National Park
Fledged chicks at the three key sites on Mount Desert Island rose by more than 55 percent.

Last year, for example, there were three fledged peregrine falcon chicks at the Precipice and two each at the Jordan Cliffs and Valley Cove sites.
In 2014, there were four at the Precipice, two at Valley Cove and one at Jordan Cliffs.
There were two at Ironbound Island in 2014.
Connery said the falcon chicks did well this year possibly at least in part because of a very mild spring and mild June with a lack of severe weather. There were no long periods of damp weather that would challenge survival of the chicks and foraging by the adults was easy, he said.
Most of the fledged chicks have moved on, but there is one chick that was returning to the nest at the Precipice.
He also said he spotted one adult falcon in January at the Precipice and a male and female around the end of February. He said he is assuming the adults remained in the area for the winter, though they were not banded. Because of a growing number of bird feeders, more smaller birds remain in Acadia in the winter, providing more prey for the falcons.

At times during the winter, the adults flew away for two to three days and then returned. Falcons can fly 200 to 300 miles in a day. He said he would guess that if the falcons remained in the park on all days, their prey – mourning and rock doves and blue jays, for example – would become secretive and more difficult to catch.
Peregrine falcons have made a comeback since becoming nearly extinct in the mid-1960s. The falcons were reintroduced into the Maine national park in 1984, and have been returning on their own to nest successfully from 1991 to the present, according to the U.S. Department of the Interior’s “A Guide’s Guide to Acadia National Park.”

Connery said the recovery of the peregrine falcon stemmed from the EPA’s banning of the pesticide DDT in 1972.
Because of the pesticide, many eggs did not hatch and the populations precipitously dropped until a mere 12% of normal peregrine falcon populations remained in the United States, according to the Nature Conservancy.
Falcons ate other birds that fed on seeds and insects, for example, contaminated with DDT.
The peregrine falcon was listed as a federal endangered species in the early 1970s, but was removed from that federal list in 1999. The first successful nest in 35 years in Acadia occurred in 1991.
The resident breeding population of peregrines remains endangered under Maine’s Endangered Species Act.
The peregrine falcon is a great success story that’s being played out in Acadia National Park.

1894 Hinckley Minnesota Forest Fire Deaths
1894 Hinckley Minnesota Forest Fire
The exact origin of the fire is somewhat indefinite; the one that visited Hinckley must have started in the region south of Mission Creek. Around this little village much of the pine had been cut. There was in the hamlet twenty-six houses, a schoolhouse, a small sawmill a general store, hotel and blacksmith shop. At the time of the fire there were seventy-three people living in, and adjacent to, this village; a great number of the population were away from home, having gone to Dakota for the harvest. The people had been fighting local fires for a month. At noon, on September 1, great clouds of smoke could be seen in the southwest. By two o’clock the wind became a hurricane, and at three o’clock it was almost as dark as night. The people flocked to the store, and asked the proprietor to telegraph for a train to take them away. By this time the whole village was on fire, and the people proceeded to a potato patch in the rear of the store. For two hours they laid with their faces to the ground until the worst was over, and that night were conveyed by a work train to Pine City. Everyone lost all they had, with the exception of a few who saved a little wearing apparel, which happened to be stored away in satchels.
As early as July 16 forest fires were reported in Eastern Minnesota, section men in the employ of the railroads were set to work fighting the flames. Hundreds of tons of hay were destroyed. The fires were generally removed quite a distance from the right of way of the railroads or the habitations of the resident, and there had been no reports of any damaged buildings.
The theory has been advanced that the origin of the fire was caused by charcoal dust and carbon being absorbed by the atmosphere, and then becoming so heated by the long continued drought, so as to produce spontaneous combustion. The basis however, of this theory is simply that persons claimed to have witnessed that the air seemed to be on fire, and that the flames made’ great leaps, often breaking out from 1,500 to 2,000 feet ahead of the foremost blaze, without any apparent cause. The survivors of the calamity, however, state that the wind was terrific and the smoke was so black and dense that it was impossible to see anything three feet away. The fact was, that for three months there had been’ a continuation of forest fires, some of which had not been properly extinguished by the fire fighters, and this, with the intense dryness, had made a regular tinder box of the accumulated debris, which igniting laid the foundation for the great conflagration.
About six miles west of Mission Creek was Pokegama, now shown on the railroad maps as Brook Park. It had been first settled in 1893, and there were one hundred and thirty-five persons in the settlement. On the day of the fire, the wind blew a gale from the southwest, and swept the fire, which started three miles away, in a direct line to the village. The fire reached this settlement about two o’clock in the afternoon; the atmosphere was filled with smoke; the people, for protection, sought the water of a small pond, about fifteen feet deep in the center, near a railroad bridge. This increased the danger, as only the edges of the pond could be used by the people for fear of getting beyond their depth in the water. The people were all huddled together, throwing water upon each other, and the heat became so intense they were obliged to stand in the water, barely leaving their mouths -and noses exposed so as to breathe. They were kept in the pond by the heat from two to six o’clock in the afternoon, when they took possession of two boxcars, which the fire had left untouched. Twenty-three persons lost their lives, and the schoolhouse, sawmill, store and dwellings were completely devastated.
Between Pokegama and Opsted, twenty-three Chippewa Indian bodies were found; these belonged to the Chief Wacouta band, who perished with his followers. They had left the reservation two months before the fire, and built a hunting lodge on one of the forks of the Shadridge Creek.
At this time the fire fiend was advancing with rapid strides upon Hinckley, one of the lumbering town of Pine County, having a population of about 1,200 people. All around the village were woods as dry as tinder, and ready for a terrible bonfire. The danger of fire had long been seen, and warning had been given of possible damage to the town. The inhabitants, however, had become fearless bf danger. The fire that reached Mission Creek swept onwards towards the north, following the direction of the St. Paul and Duluth railway tracks, where they intersect with the Great Northern tracks. This alone was certain doom to Hinckley, but soon the fire which had laid Brook Park in ashes joined the other fire, and Hinckley became one avalanche of flame, wind, heat and storm, dealing death and destruction in its path. The depot, public buildings, schools, etc., simply melted down in a few minutes; the earth, the air, even the heavens, seemed to be on fire; it was only in flight, water, or the train that escape could be hoped for.
About two o’clock on the afternoon of the fire, the fire department of Hinckley was called to the west side of the town to fight a slight blaze; in about half an hour a dozen small buildings on the outskirts were in flames. ‘Two thousand feet of hose was laid down, and a telegram sent to Rush City for 600 feet more. The wind was blowing a perfect hurricane, from a direction a little west of south. At twenty minutes to three o’clock, the local from Duluth, on the Great Northern railroad, pulled into Hinckley; everything was afire at that time, and the heat and smoke were intense almost to suffocation. The freight train was sidetracked awaiting the arrival of a passenger train, northbound, due at Hinckley at 3:25. After a consultation of the conductors and engineers, Barry, engineer of the freight train, ran up to the other end of the yard, and coupled on to three box cars, a caboose and five passenger coaches, besides the two engines.
All this time the fire had been pushing on in its mad course, and the chief of the fire department informed the people that the fire was beyond control, and that they must save themselves, as he could do nothing for them. The emergency train was drawn up before the depot and the panic stricken men, women and children, to the number of 276, were placed on board. The train, after waiting for three quarters of an hour at the depot, and until men and animals were falling in the street from the heat, moved out towards a place of safety. Everything was burning, fire on all sides, and the heat continued so intense, that combined with the smoke it seemed as if all on board would perish of suffocation. Seven miles out of Hinckley, the first cool current of air was struck, and the passengers could breath easier. When Sandstone was reached the train pulled up, and many people of that town boarded it. Just out of Sandstone, the bridge over Kettle River was on fire; the train slowed up, and the watchman cried: “For God’s sake go on, you can cross it now, but it will go down in five minutes.” The engineer threw the throttle wide open, ran out on the bridge, and crossed it in safety; five minutes later the bridge fell by its own weight.
A twenty-minute stop was made at Partridge, where the occupants of the cars were supplied with water, they having been exposed to the terrible heat for so long a. time, that they were suffering agonies. The train stopped at Mansfield and Kerrick, and reached West Superior without any further exciting incidents.
The south-bound limited train, on the St. Paul and Duluth railroad, left Duluth for St. Paul at 2 o’clock in the afternoon of the first day of September. The train consisted of one combination car, one coach, two chair cars and engine No. 69. The atmosphere was heavy with smoke, when the train pulled out of the Duluth depot. All the way to Carlton the smoke grew gradually thicker and denser. The train had aboard one hundred and thirty-five to one hundred and fifty passengers, who became greatly alarmed by the flames, that could be seen on both sides of the track, and the roar of the fire could be distinctly heard. The heat became more and. more intense and insufferable; the smoke increased until it was found difficult to breathe. The trainmen attempted to allay the fears of the passengers, and when within a mile and a half of Hinckley the first information was received of what had occurred at that place. A number of fleeing and panic-stricken citizens flagged the train, and in a few words told their story. About one hundred and fifty to two hundred of these refugees boarded the train. The conductor finally decided to run his train back to Skunk Lake, located near the track, about four miles from the place where the refugees were met. The engine was reversed, and the four miles to Skunk Lake accomplished, though the flames gained upon the train every minute, finally bursting over it in a hurricane blast. Smoke and flames were everywhere; came in through the ventilators, the tops of the cars, and through the cracks at the sides of the windows. The rear coach being on fire, the terror-stricken passengers fled to the other coaches. The heat was so intense that it cracked the glass in the windows of the, cars, and many of the passengers became delirious. Skunk Lake was reached, and the passengers and refugees immersed themselves in the morass of mud and water, where they laid for hours, holding their faces close to the ground to escape suffocation. All the passengers were saved on the train except one, who wandered away from the party, and whose body was found west of the track.
On the line of the Eastern Minnesota railroad in Hinckley, the railroad company had made a gravel pit two or three acres in extent; its bottom was some twenty or thirty feet below the level of the surrounding country. After the departure of the train about seventy persons sought shelter in this pit. It contained a pool of water about three feet in its greatest depth, and closely huddled together in this pool were the fugitives, domestic animals and from 300 to 400 trunks, all of which passed through the fire unscathed. This pit was large enough to have saved all the people of Hinckley, and their household goods, had they only sought its refuge. The loss by the fires at Hinckley was one hundred and ninety-seven persons.
A half an hour after the emergency train had left Sandstone, which is situated on the Kettle River, in Pine County, about nine miles from Hinckley, the conflagration reached the village. The people had refused to heed the warning of the refugees from Hinckley, on board the emergency train, which pulled out and left them to their fate. Every building in the village, with one exception, became a heap of ashes, and sixty-three of the villagers perished in the flames, the balance finding safety in the waters of the Kettle River.
Partridge, a small station six miles north of Sandstone, had a population of about fifty people; this hamlet was totally destroyed. The residents were all saved except one, a refuge being found about three miles from the hamlet in a lumber camp of one hundred acres that had been burned over. Here they remained from a few minutes before six until midnight, when they were rescued by a relief train from West Superior.
Sandstone Junction (or Miller), a station nine miles north of Hinckley, on the St. Paul and Duluth railroad, was merely a sidetrack for lumber cars, and most of the residents adjacent to it were farmers, who had made clearings and settled on them. To escape the conflagration, the inhabitants placed themselves in wells and potato patches, in the latter covering themselves with earth. Quite a number of the settlers were away at the time of the fire, but fifty per cent of those at home were burned to death.
According to the certified report of Dr. D. W. Cowan of Pine County, under date of November 24, 1894, there was a total of 413 deaths, caused by the conflagration. The State Commission, appointed by Governor Nelson, consisting of Charles A. Pillsbury, Kenneth Clark, Charles H. Graves, Matthew G. Norton and Hastings H. Hart, estimated the property loss would approximate $750,000; this did not include damages done to the lumber and soil. The treasurer of the commission acknowledged the receipt of $96,458.69 cash donations; of this amount, $11,600 was received from England and Canada; $14,711.19 from the United States, outside of Minnesota and $70,147.50 from Minnesota. Besides this, $23,565.74 was donated and distributed by local relief committees. The total estimated value of relief furnished to the fire sufferers was $184,744.

I have a picture of a family who died in the Hinckley fire. His name was Peter (Petrus) Mansson and lived near Sandstone. I have the names of all of the family members from cousins from Sweden. The picture was taken at an Anderson and Golfe studio in Sandstone. Peter, Katarina (wife), Olof Petter (1876), Karl Olof (1878), Magnus Fritiof (1880), Herman Reinhold (1882), Anna Katarina (1885), Hans Werner (1887). All of these children were born in Sweden. They were said to have perished in a two-story storage shelter on their farm.

Hi — this list is missing a relation of mine: Annie Truttman of Diamond Bluff, Wisconsin, who was visiting her aunt Mary Best nee Denzer. She was disabled, and could not escape. Annie’s brother, John, Jr. traveled to Hinckley to claim her body and bring her home. He found a gold pin that she wore on her dress to be the only means of identification. The gold pin remains in the family today.

The Adpocalypse part 2: YouTube faces advertiser boycott over videos that attracted sexual predators
by: Dabitch, Nov 26 2017 - 4:22pm
By Dabitch on November 26, 2017 - 16:22
A few weeks ago James Bride wrote "Something is wrong on the internet", where he delves into the mysterious world of automation and kids videos on youtube and finds content ranging from mildly upsetting to profoundly creepy. As more people paid attention, Youtube panicked and began shutting down channels that they previously had no issue with, like the Toy Freaks channel which had reached the top 100 most-viewed channels on YouTube with 8.53 million subscribers. Webs and Tiaras were also shut down, as was Toy Monsters, but similarly odd channels that still exist are trending all over youtube to fill the void, and advertisers are no getting wise to the fact that their banners & pre-rolls are feeding the machine that James Bride so eloquently described in his now viral post. As the Times reported on that YouTube adverts fund paedophile habits, brands have now taken their media budget elsewhere.
"BT, Adidas, Deutsche Bank, eBay, Amazon, Mars, Diageo and Talktalk are among dozens of brands whose adverts appear on the videos, which are published on the Google-owned platform. Many have gained millions of views by showing young girls filming themselves in underwear, doing the splits, brushing their teeth or rolling around in bed."
In response to the report, YouTube said in a statement, “There shouldn’t be any ads running on this content, and we are working urgently to fix this.” We've heard them say that before. In 2015 Youtube tightened the rules of what was allowed to be monetized. Back in 2016 when Youtube rolled out a new email alert system to tell content creators when their videos were demonetized, #YouTubeIsOverParty trended as it seemed to only hurt political content creators. But as Super Bowl ads pre-rolled over ISIS propaganda videos, brands walked away from Youtube and Google advertising en masse. Youtube now face another boycott as all of their promised tightening of the controls hasn't affected the kids videos at all. On youtube startling videos targeting kids slip past the filters, and brands that want to be loved by kids do not want to be associated with scary trauma. Youtube has repeatedly vowed to better filter and have more control, and repeatedly failed. “Until we have confidence that appropriate safeguards are in place, we will not advertise on YouTube and Google,” Mars said in a statement to media on Friday. Deutsche Bank said it suspended advertising on YouTube immediately after becoming aware of the problem, and in a statement said they are investigating why it happened.
“As always, our digital marketing agency applied filters to prevent our advertising appearing alongside inappropriate content, and we are investigating how the situation arose.”
Youtube have explained in a blog post what they are doing now regarding inappropriate content.
We have always had strict policies against child endangerment, and we partner closely with regional authorities and experts to help us enforce these policies and report to law enforcement through NCMEC. In the last couple of weeks we expanded our enforcement guidelines around removing content featuring minors that may be endangering a child, even if that was not the uploader’s intent. In the last week we terminated over 50 channels and have removed thousands of videos under these guidelines, and we will continue to work quickly to remove more every day.
Youtube have a lot of pressure to clean up and fast, as the Daily Mail reported that YouTube's system for reporting sexual comments on children's videos has not been working for more than a year. U.K.’s ISBA advertising trade group called for an emergency meeting with Google to discuss the issue, it will take place next week. A spokesperson from Mars told Sky News:
"We are shocked and appalled to see that our adverts have appeared alongside such exploitative and inappropriate content. It is in stark contrast to who we are and what we believe. We have taken the decision to immediately suspend all our online advertising on YouTube and Google globally. We have stringent guidelines and processes in place and are working with Google and our media buying agencies to understand what went wrong. Until we have confidence that appropriate safeguards are in place, we will not advertise on You Tube and Google."
- November 26, 2017 - 17:30
Additionally, from the BBC who report that Mars, Lidl, Adidas, Deutsche Bank, Cadbury and others have pulled all advertisements from YouTube now.
The BBC was alerted to the scale of the problem by volunteer members of YouTube's Trusted Flagger programme who alert the site to potential violations of its guidelines.
Trusted Flaggers who talked to the BBC said there could be up to 100,000 active predatory accounts on the site, all of which were able to survive because the system to report them did not work well.
YouTube has responded to the twin investigations by shutting accounts used to make predatory comments and by turning off comments on thousands of videos.
The ad suspensions come only days after YouTube unveiled new measures that were supposed to limit the spread of sexualised and violent content.
Youtube will have a lot of channels to clean up, and even then why should advertisers trust a company that seems driven by reaction and not prevention? We have known for years that there's inappropriate content, but flagging videos does nothing. There's tons of Elsagate and Bad Baby channels like, Crazy Bad Baby & Toys and Funny Kids Surprise Eggs, BoHaHa and tons more.
Oh, some of those clips in the channels you linked are really disturbing and the fact that they are still there shows that Youtube are still not on the ball here.
Advertisers are doing the right thing staying away from this as long as there's no possibility to avoid such disturbing content.

Tenby RNLI lifeboats rescue kayaker from rocks after capsize
Both of Tenby’s RNLI lifeboats launched shortly before 4pm today (18th May) after Milford Haven Coastguard received a call from a gentleman stating that his friend had disappeared from sight.
He was unable to get back into his kayak following a capsize off West Moor cliff in a fresh offshore breeze. Both RNLI lifeboats were quickly on the water, with the volunteer crew making best speed toward the casualty’s position.
Once on scene, the lifeboats were directed towards the casualty by a local fishing boat that had spotted him swimming towards the rocks and had stood-by whilst he made his way ashore. The inshore lifeboat went into the rocks and took the casualty aboard.
He was then transferred to the all-weather RNLI lifeboat to be checked over whilst awaiting the arrival of rescue helicopter 187 from St Athan. The helicopter was soon overhead and winched the casualty up and then landed him on Freshwater East beach where paramedics were waiting to check him over.
The casualty was feeling cold and unwell so it was decided that he should be flown to Withybush Hospital, accompanied by one of the Paramedics.
Both lifeboats were then stood down, arriving back at station at about 5.30pm.
For more information, please contact Lifeboat Press Officer (LPO) Ben James on 07971 463716 or Danielle Rush, Divisional Media Relations Manager (Wales and West) on 07786 668829 or 01745 585162. Alternatively contact RNLI Public Relations on 01202 336789.

Obama Has Planted The Seed Of War World 3 – Iran Nuclear Deal →
By Marion Algier – Ask Marion
Planned Parenthood’s roots and history go back to the eugenic ideals of its founder, Fabian Margaret Sanger, and the ugliness surrounding this progressive institution just keeps going!! American Progressivism has its roots in Fabianism…
NewsMax reported Planned Parenthood’s most recent shameful exploit today… Planned Parenthood medical group sells fetal body parts.
Planned Parenthood in Perspective
See FULL VIDEO FOOTAGE: Planned Parenthood Uses Partial-Birth Abortions to Sell Baby Parts
“Abortionists use ultrasound like a butcher uses scales to sell meat by the pound for profit,” said Newman in an email to LifeNews. “Evidence further shows that Planned Parenthood has gone to great lengths to keep the public from ever knowing about their illicit human body-parts trade, understanding that if news were to leak, it could spell doom for the abortion giant.”
At a business lunch, Dr. Deborah Nucatola tells actors posing as buyers in a video released by The Center for Medical Progress about the process she goes through to procure body parts for such buyers.
Nucatola is involved in the training of new abortion doctors at Planned Parenthood, and she also performs abortions herself at a Los Angeles-area clinic up until 24 weeks. She has held the position since 2009.
In the video, the buyers ask Nucatola, “How much of a difference can that actually make, if you know kind of what’s expected, or what we need?”
“It makes a huge difference,” the Planned Parenthood abortion doctor says. “I’d say a lot of people want liver. And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they’ll know where they’re putting their forceps.”
“The kind of rate-limiting step of the procedure is calvarium. Calvarium — the head — is basically the biggest part,” she said.
“We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact,” the Planned Parenthood director says in the video.
“And with the calvarium, in general, some people will actually try to change the presentation so that it’s not vertex,” she continues. “So if you do it starting from the breech presentation, there’s dilation that happens as the case goes on, and often, the last step, you can evacuate an intact calvarium at the end.”
Nucatola’s description of the procedure, in which the fetus is taken from the breech position, is commonly known as partial-birth abortion, which is illegal in the United States.
She admits that the legal department at the Planned Parenthood national office is not comfortable with local offices being involved with the sale of fetal body parts because of the potential liability.
“At the national office, we have a Litigation and Law Department which just really doesn’t want us to be the middle people for this issue right now,” she says. “But I will tell you that behind closed doors these conversations are happening with the affiliates.”
According to The Center for Medical Progress, someone caught selling or purchasing human fetal tissue can face up to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $500,000, under federal law.
At the end of the video, Planned Parenthood President and CEO Cecile Richards is seen praising Nucatola and her work in collecting fetal tissue.
“She’s amazing,” Richards says.
The Center for Medical Progress says that this is the first video to be released in its “Human Capital” series, part of an almost three-year investigation into the illegal selling of aborted fetal parts by Planned Parenthood.
“Planned Parenthood’s criminal conspiracy to make money off of aborted baby parts reaches to the very highest levels of their organization,” said David Daleiden, project lead at the center.
“Elected officials must listen to the public outcry for Planned Parenthood to be held accountable to the law and for our tax dollars to stop underwriting this barbaric abortion business,” he said.
A Hollywood Republican:
Planned Parenthood was founded in 1921 as the American Birth Control League by Margaret Sanger. Ms. Sanger was a known progressive from that era and a firm believer in Eugenics and Race Control. Contrary to current liberal beliefs, the original birth control movement of which Margaret Sanger was a proponent had nothing to do with a women’s right to choose. It was all about white supremacy and the cleansing of the races. It was about eliminating the undesirables. And, yet the Democratic Party of the 21st Century continually claims that birth control is a women’s rights issue and has been so from the start. They ignore the past because they do no want Americans to know the truth. Accordingly, this article shall be another of what is becoming one of my rants about the media and the Democratic control of the message.
In the same vein that the Republican Party is demonized by the left as being racist, the Democratic Party has controlled the media on the issue of birth control and abortion. Let’s look at some of the facts in the movement spearheaded by Margaret Sanger.
To begin with, Ms. Sanger believed that lighter skin races were more intelligent than those with darker skin. She also felt that undesirables, i.e. blacks and those with other undesirable qualities, such as “morons, etc., should not be permitted to have children and should be schooled accordingly. However, she was not above using members of the black race when necessary to achieve her goals. One of her most famous quotes is:
“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.” Margaret Sanger’s December 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, 255 Adams Street, Milton, Massachusetts
The implications of this quote should be clear to even the most ignorant among us: Use black ministers to make sure that blacks don’t know we want to get rid of them.
It has often been said that Ms. Sanger was the inspiration of the Nazi movement to exterminate undesirables and there is plenty of evidence of that on the net. However, according to Wikipedia, “Sanger denounced the aggressive and lethal Nazi eugenics program,” while maintaining that her beliefs could be attained by the use of birth control and proper planning so that the undesirables did not ever have children and euthanasia would not be necessary. There is also similar evidence all over the net that Ms. Sanger was against abortion. Again, she believed that all of her policies and beliefs could be met by the proper use of birth control. In a strange twist upon this, she believed that a fetus was a human life and that abortion was murder. Kind of ironic that the woman responsible for the Planned Parenthood abortion mills was actually against the killing of fetuses. I wonder what she we think of her creation now?
The Founder of Modern Progressivism – President Woodrow Wilson
Here is further evidence of her positions as set forth in her address before the New History Society on January 17th, 1922 in New York City
First, put into action President Wilson’s fourteen points, upon which terms Germany and Austria surrendered to the Allies in 1918.
Second, have Congress set up a special department for the study of population problems and appoint a Parliament of Population, the directors representing the various branches of science: this body to direct and control the population through birth rates and immigration, and to direct its distribution over the country according to national needs consistent with taste, fitness and interest of individuals. The main objects of the Population Congress would be:
a. to raise the level and increase the general intelligence of population.
b. to increase the population slowly by keeping the birth rate at its present level of fifteen per thousand, decreasing the death rate below its present mark of 11 per thousand.
c. to keep the doors of immigration closed to the entrance of certain aliens whose condition is known to be detrimental to the stamina of the race, such as feebleminded, idiots, morons, insane, syphilitic, epileptic, criminal, professional prostitutes, and others in this class barred by the immigration laws of 1924.
d. to apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.
e. to insure the country against future burdens of maintenance for numerous offspring as may be born of feebleminded parents, by pensioning all persons with transmissible disease who voluntarily consent to sterilization.
f. to give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization.
g. to apportion farm lands and homesteads for these segregated persons where they would be taught to work under competent instructors for the period of their entire lives.
The first step would thus be to control the intake and output of morons, mental defectives, epileptics.
The second step would be to take an inventory of the secondary group such as illiterates, paupers, unemployables, criminals, prostitutes, dope-fiends; classify them in special departments under government medical protection, and segregate them on farms and open spaces as long as necessary for the strengthening and development of moral conduct.
Having corralled this enormous part of our population and placed it on a basis of health instead of punishment, it is safe to say that fifteen or twenty millions of our population would then be organized into soldiers of defense—defending the unborn against their own disabilities.
The third step would be to give special attention to the mothers’ health, to see that women who are suffering from tuberculosis, heart or kidney disease, toxic goitre, gonorrhea, or any disease where the condition of pregnancy disturbs their health are placed under public health nurses to instruct them in practical, scientific methods of contraception in order to safeguard their lives—thus reducing maternal mortality.
The above steps may seem to place emphasis on a health program instead of on tariffs, moratoriums and debts, but I believe that national health is the first essential factor in any program for universal peace.
With the future citizen safeguarded from hereditary taints, with five million mental and moral degenerates segregated, with ten million women and ten million children receiving adequate care, we could then turn our attention to the basic needs for international peace.
There would then be a definite effort to make population increase slowly and at a specified rate, in order to accommodate and adjust increasing numbers to the best social and economic system.
In the meantime we should organize and join an International League of Low Birth Rate Nations to secure and maintain World Peace.
Another Democratic Shame
Can it be any more clearer. Not only was Ms. Sanger a blatant racist, but she was also for the control of the “unwanted.” What I cannot understand is why the Republican Party of today doesn’t make sure that all of this is clear to the American people. Why can’t we get our message out? I’m just recently beginning to hear Democrats are the Party that was against black Americans. As you all know, or should know, the Republican Party is the Party of Abraham Lincoln, the Party of Civil Rights, and the Party of Martin Luther King. The Democratic Party was the party of Slavery, Jim Crow, the KKK, forced segregation and George Wallace. But yet, we Republicans are painted as racists on a daily basis!

Why do we let the Democrats control the media? Why don’t we do something about it? Democrats started the abortion movement, not to give a women rights, but to cleanse society of the unwanted.
This is what happens when we allow our history to be re-written or history to virtually not be taught at all in our schools. Let’s shout that from the rooftops. Maybe, at some point, people will start listening. And, if we are lucky they will start believing the truth.

Margaret Sanger’s ideas are live and well in the Obama White House and in the ObamaCare Mandates! Ultra Left Wing HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was an ardent supporter of murdered partial birth abortionist, Tiller and her extreme record on abortion has sadly been ignored (or hidden) by the media.) Sebelius has also been exposed as a major player in the Obama War on Religion.
And… The 2012 Democrat Party Platform allowed and promoted birth control and abortions without restriction. That included late term abortions and partial birth abortions which leaves many women who have them psychologically scared for life from guilt, not to mention the religious implications, or the implications for the fetus.
The left promotes abortion as no big deal and that women need to consider their own immediate personal feelings and needs rather than the moral and religious implications or the fact that you are taking the life of your own child. Margaret Sanger would be proud!

About Ask Marion
I am a babyboomer and empty nester who savors every moment of my past and believes that it is the responsibility of each of us in my generation and Americans in general to make sure that America is as good or even a better place for future generations as it was for us. So far... we haven't done very well!! Favorite Quotes: "The first 50 years are to build and acquire; the second 50 are to leave your legacy"; "Do something that scares you every day!"; "The journey in between what you once were and who you are becoming is where the dance of life really takes place". At age 62 I find myself fighting inoperable uterine Cancer and thanks to the man upstairs and the prayers from so many people including many of my readers from AskMarion and JustOneMorePet... I'm beating it. After losing our business because of the economy and factors related to the re-election of President Obama in 2012 followed by 16-mos of job hunting, my architect-trained husband is working as a trucker and has only been home approximately 5-days a month since I was diagnosed, which has made everything more difficult and often lonely... plus funds are tight. Our family medical deductible is 12K per year for two of us; thank you ObamaCare. But thanks to donations from so many of you, we are making ends meet as I go through treatment while taking care of my father-in-law who is suffering from late stage Alzheimer's and my mother-in-law who suffers from RA and onset dementia as well as hearing loss, for which there are no caretaker funds, as I continue the fight here online to inform and help restore our amazing country. And finally I need to thank a core group of family, friends, and readers... all at a distance, who check in with me regularly. Plus, I must thank my furkids who have not left my side through this fight. You can see them at JustOneMorePet.

My sources had long ago informed me that PP and PETA were for profit organizations based on the cult of death. It didn’t matter if anybody else believed it, I believed it, that was what mattered to me. Thus often times I appear as pro life or conservative to other people, due to how I react.
However, I am not necessarily pro life. I am merely pro death for Leftists. There’s a slight difference, you see.
As for the Law? It means nothing. Those humans that abdicate their responsibility to the future, by saying the “Law will handle it” are not worthy of being guardians of humanity, no matter which generation we speak of. They have abdicated their power, and that power will be used against them by the Left. The only 3 forms of power needed for justice and human continuation are:
1. Authority (righteous laws and enforcement there of)
2. Wealth (resources, liquid)
3. Violence
The Law means nothing when it transforms from Authority to a tool of some faction’s violence. While there can be one or a limited chain of command in Authority, passed down righteously, in violence there are as many forms of it as people with the ruthlessness can yield. The Law is only the Law when it has authority backing it. It is not the Law any more now.

February 28, 2019 ICT Accessibility / Program Spotlights
Missouri AT Users Make the Case for Web Accessibility
With the help of attendees to their annual conference–and an outdated MacBook–Missouri Assistive Technology (MoAT) has created a valuable resource available to any State or Territory AT Program.
Too often it’s all just technical.
“Accessible Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is now a requirement under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act which has adopted the WCAG 2.0 level AA standards for accessibility.”
Frankly, that sentence, alone, fails cognitive accessibility.
When it comes to the rules, it’s easy to feel lost in the weeds and miss the forest for the trees. I have to add alt text to photos on Facebook? Audio describe as well as caption videos? Archive my Zoom webinars? How?
In Missouri, Eileen Belton, Alternative Financing Program Coordinator of MoAT, serves on a statewide accessible information technology working group. She knew MoAT needed to create a webpage of resources for developers, webmasters, and others to learn how to comply with federal accessibility requirements. But she and MoAT Director David Baker also knew that technical guidance alone wasn’t going to be good enough. People who maintain websites, create documents, and/or manage social media accounts often have little exposure to how the standards make a difference for real people.
Needed were the voices of AT users speaking for themselves.
Nine AT Users
The AT User Video Series is the kind of idea that’s so obvious one wonders why projects like it are so rare.
Located at the Accessible IT tab of at.mo.gov is a page featuring interviews with nine individuals, all avid users of the web with different forms of assistive technology (and the video overview above).
“We wanted somebody responsible for a website to understand what AT users go through to access web pages,” Belton explains. “That’s how the idea for the AT User Video Series was born.”
Belton had never made a video before this project and the interviews were produced on a shoestring. Yet they do something extraordinary: model accessibility while assembling in one place a range of experiences with technology and disability. Here are five participants with different forms of visual impairments, a woman who is deaf, two individuals with physical disabilities, and a man with paralysis who uses a speech generating device. Each video includes captions and voice over for titles.
The AT users are well known in the Missouri disability community. Andrew, for example, is a deputy commissioner for the Office on the Disabled for the City of St. Louis. MoAT’s use of first names only with titles, however, conveys an important point. Andrew is not the only Andrew trying to read your website.
The effect is an introduction to real people who webmasters and editors (like me) can keep in mind as we structure our heading levels, add alt text to images, and label our form fields. ICT accessibility is, after all, a lot like that accessible parking space–just because you may not see someone using it doesn’t mean they’re not out there driving.
How Did MoAT Pull It All Together?
Brainstorming the idea, Belton and MoAT Director David Baker realized their upcoming Power Up conference presented a terrific opportunity. They could recruit diverse AT users and interview everyone in one place.
Power Up brings together individuals with disabilities of all kinds committed to raising awareness about how technology can improve lives. Prior to the conference, MoAT advertised the video series idea. Belton also made a few targeted phone calls to state agency colleagues she thought might be interested and/or could recommend participants.
The response was tremendous.
“Everyone we approached wanted to do it,” Baker says. “And actually we probably could have done a few more. There were people reaching out to us.”
MoAT made sure to record users of different categories of assistive technology as well as seniors. “The only category we didn’t get represented was learning disability and we still have that on our radar screen to do,” Baker says.
Video participants all came well prepared. Belton was delighted, “I was surprised at the depth of their responses, considering they didn’t have the questions ahead of time.” She says just one participant was provided the questions beforehand, Darren, who communicates with a speech-generating device and needed to pre-program his responses.
Low Budget, Big Impact
To make the videos, Belton used equipment from the MoAT device loan program. She mounted an iPad with a microphone in a quiet conference side room. To encourage consistency among the videos, Belton made sure to ask everyone the same questions. Interviewees discuss their disability and the assistive technology they use, how they access the web, and web barriers they encounter. They also discuss how access can be improved.
“If the web application has been designed with keyboard navigation, all is good for me. If not, I go to more effort to use mouse control.” –Darren
Once back at MoAT, Belton transferred the videos to a MacBook loaded with an older version of iMovie. “We just used what we had,” she emphasizes. There she figured out how to add animated title slides and an audio track for voice over (to hear titles aloud). The videos were next uploaded to YouTube for auto-captioning where Belton explored YouTube’s tools and edited the text for accuracy.
Since creating the videos, MoAT has shared them in email campaigns among state ICT working group members and shown some at working group meetings. But the project keeps growing new legs. For this year’s Power Up conference in April, a panel of AT User Video stars will contribute to the ICT strand to keep the conversation going.
“Every couple of months we think of a new way to use it,” Baker says.
Missouri’s AT User videos are available for embedding on any State or Territory AT Program website. They are not heavily branded MoAT and were purposefully produced to make the case for accessibility, be those users in Missouri or any corner of the world.
What advice do Belton and Baker have for other AT Programs interested in doing something similar?
Baker: “Don’t overthink it. Close the loop and introduce IT people to the end user.”
Belton: “Save your work as you go!”

Nelson Mandela will be missed
By Karen DeWitt · December 6, 2013 · 1 Comment
I was working for USA Today when I saw Nelson Mandela for the first time in 1986, through a glass darkly, at Pollsmoor Prison in Cape Town where he had been moved after the South African government transferred him from Robben Island.
I’d been in South Africa for several months, a kaleidoscopic experience that ricocheted from unbelievable ignorance and oppression to multi-racial civility, all in a single afternoon. Apartheid was still in existence but coming apart at the seams.
I had flown down from Johannesburg and on the plane was Mandela’s wife, Winnie. A white passenger voluntarily gave Mrs. Mandela his first class seat and there was a buzz throughout the plane about this beautiful and famous activist. Not one bit of animosity among the overwhelmingly white passengers.
Nelson Mandela in 2008. (Wikipedia)
Once at the Cape Town the airport, Mrs. Mandela seemed not to have any transportation, but stood alone at the curbside. Not to worry, reporters and their teams vied to take her to Pollsmoor. When one TV team snagged her, the wild English photographer I’d hired wasn’t about to lose his chance so we took off, going what seemed 100 mph on the highways, tailing the car carrying Mrs. Mandela.
Once at the prison, my photographer drove right up behind that car, which a guard cleared. When we drove up the guard asked me if I was one of the lawyers and I, of course, said ‘yes.’
Inside the building, we were kept about 30 feet away from where Mrs. Mandela and her husband were meeting on the other side of a glass brick wall, but I saw him.
The next time I saw him I was in New York City in 1990 when I had returned to The New York Times. A slew of black reporters had been dispatched to Harlem where Mandela was speaking. I found one colleague disgruntled by the fact that we were all feeding a white reporter in the office who was writing the story and would get the byline.
I returned to the newspaper after a year of teaching in Kansas and it didn’t bother me since I wasn’t going to be working out of New York for very long but shortly would return to the Washington, D.C. bureau.
Oh, the joy and celebration of that day; the crowded streets. The cheers for this South African legend.
After Mandela had been departed for more than an hour, night now, I stood in a long line at a public phone (before cell phones, Millenniels!) and called the desk and was told: “Why don’t you hang out there some more to make sure those people don’t riot.”
I wasn’t that recent a returnee to newspapers.
President Obama’s first visit with Mandela. (Wikipedia)
I said: “Listen, this has been a day of joy and celebration and now people are going home to catch Mandela and maybe a glimpse of themselves on TV before they get ready to go their J-O-Bs tomorrow. Do you suggest that reporters stay after a Yankee’s game is over, in case, those people riot? If you have nothing concrete for me to do, I ‘m going home now and get some sleep.”
Click. I was steaming.
Yet Mandela had endured 27 years of this stuff and worse so I looked for answers in his autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom. Near the end he talks about seeing the divine spark shared by all humans in even his meanest jailer.
I salute him for that, no apparent bitterness, forgiveness and generosity. I’m certainly not there… yet…and maybe never will be, but he was a glorious human being.
He was, as Time magazine wrote the year he graced its cover: ” on a more transcendent plane, where history is made and myths are forged, (he) is a hero, a man, like those described by author Joseph Campbell, who has emerged from a symbolic grave “reborn, made great and filled with creative power.”
He shall be sorely missed.
Karen DeWitt has a long distinguished career as a journalist, covering politics, but also has worked on political campaigns. She compares the later to the labor of a Hebrew working for the Pharaoh. She's covered the White House and the national politics for The New York Times; foreign affairs and the White House for USA TODAY before joining that newspaper’s management as an assistant managing editor. She switched to television as a senior producer for ABC’s Nightline, where she wrote and produced the award-winning, Found Voices about the digitization of 1930s and 1940s interviews with former slaves. She returned to newspapers, as Washington editor for the Examiner newspaper and eventually left to help on local political campaigns. She has several blogs, but contributes mostly to a food blog called “I don’t speak cuisine” at peacecorpsworldwide.org and theroot.com. Contact the author.

The Virgin Mary is Pro-Choice

The gospel of Luke begins with two announcements. First in a conversation with an old priest named Zechariah, and then in a meeting with Zechariah’s cousin, Mary, the angel Gabriel declares that there will be another baby born, to change the fate of the world.
The first annunciation (Luke 1:5-20) is set up as a foil for the second (1:26-38). Zechariah and Mary each ask the angel how could they, given their strange circumstances, parent a child? But whereas Zechariah is struck voiceless because of his doubts, Mary’s voice only grows stronger.
“Behold,” she tells the angel, when it has been explained to her that no word from God will ever fail. “Behold,” meaning, look at me. Then she says: “I am the handmaid of the Lord.”
Taken out of context, this might be read as a declaration of passivity. However, just a few verses before, Gabriel responds to Zechariah’s skepticism with a similar introduction: “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you.”
Serving God was given, not as reason for dismissal, but as the source of the angel’s authority. Anyone who disbelieved God’s servant was kindly invited to shut his mouth for the next nine months or so.
After Mary speaks, it is the angel, and not the woman, who has no more to say. He stays just long enough to hear her final answer: “Be it done unto me according to your word.”
So active and forceful is her consent – practically a command – the annunciation is painted as a sort of proposal in most biblical interpretations. But Mary assumes a question that was never asked. By her yes, she still asserts that she has the right to say no.
Most traditions on the matter hold that without her permission, God would never have made her pregnant. The narrative has been used in theological circles as a parallel for sexual consent. However, Mary wasn’t consenting to sex. She was consenting to pregnancy. And Jesus, though not incarnate, was fully-formed. Gabriel knew his name and gender and what his destiny would be. Mary accepted, regardless, in a way that made it clear – she didn’t have to do this.
Jesus was a choice that she was making.
Though no story was recorded, it is evident that Zechariah’s wife, Elizabeth, experienced some form of annunciation as well. She knew her son’s name was John, though her husband couldn’t tell her so, and shouted as soon as she saw her cousin again that Mary was the mother of her Lord. We aren’t privy to the way that Elizabeth spoke with God. Elizabeth ensconced herself in solitude for the first five months of her pregnancy, so perhaps this missing story speaks to how highly she valued her privacy. But she issued a statement during this time that rings loud and strong across the ages: the Lord had done as she requested. John was a choice made, too.
Neither lady seems to have been particularly phased by the knowledge that whole nations and peoples would be shaped by their decisions. Of course, as they were women, this knowledge was nothing new.
Women are socially prepared, in great and subtle ways, to foster the life of the species. Identified females at every age are discouraged from partaking in activities, diets, and habits considered unhealthy in any given culture. Women must be clean and cautious, discriminating in our mating and producing the right number of offspring.
Conversations concerning family planning invariably fall under the umbrella of women’s issues – from secular spheres where chemical birth control has never been developed with men in mind, to the natural family planning promoted by most Christian groups, wherein the prescribed ingredient is a wife’s unerring knowledge of her own menstrual cycle.
Worldwide, fertility rates have always been determined according to the number of children per woman born. We are reminded again and again that our bodies represent the greater public good. Those like Elizabeth, who can’t or won’t have children, have long borne the shame of society’s disappointment. So, too, the teenaged mothers, poor and unmarried, like Mary.
Popes and presidents, scientists and prophets all have voiced their strong, conflicting opinions on the way that female bodies should further human aims. The fate of the world’s population is given as ours to decide. John Paul II preached that, as the family goes, so goes the nation, and so goes the whole world in which we live. This follows his appeal for married couples to see children as “God’s special gift to them and to society.” He suggests, but doesn’t say it: As goes a woman, so goes her family.
It adds up to a political reality wherein no choice regarding pregnancy is ever isolated from societal concern. This has always been the reality. Those who become pregnant are required, rather than called, to serve the highest good – independent of which choice is made – by the very act of choosing.
Mary certainly knew her pregnancy had a political context. The Jewish people were an oppressed minority within the Roman Empire, and the long-discussed Messiah was expected to flip that paradigm. On her visit to Elizabeth after speaking with the angel, Mary sings that the Lord has “brought down rulers from their thrones but lifted up the humble.” God was doing a great thing for her in making her a part of his revolution. Her choice is a power that she is proud to wield – not in a general pro-life way, but specifically for the advancement of Israel’s people. Mary demanded, before Gabriel knew her answer, that the angel recognize her as someone God trusted to make such great decisions.
To call abortion selfish is to ignore the sociological landscape that demands women choose, in every moment of living, the highest manifest good of our communities. Fleeing abusers, hunger, political unrest, unemployment, or the violence of neighborhoods guarded with suspicion by established authorities – the choice of abortion has very often been a choice in pursuit of conditions that are safer and more conducive to life. We have it on biblical authority that pregnancy is not always a blessing. Cursed be the breasts that suck and the wombs that bear in days of tribulation. Luke said so a few times, and Matthew said so once.
Those who have small children, and who plan to have children in future, acutely know that a risk to their own lives is a risk to others’, too. You may argue that there are very few circumstances where abortion can be seen as a defense of a pregnant person’s life. You would be wrong. Pregnancy and childbirth always include the risk of death. Hence people hurry to hospitals at the first signs of labor, preferring that medical professionals with surgical equipment actively supervise delivery. Throughout a pregnancy, medical check-ins are normal and encouraged. Rising and falling blood pressure throughout gestation can cause deadly clots, strokes, and heart-attacks. Hormone-related psychosis and depression, and other conditions which during pregnancy could not be treated with prescription pills, have even taken their share of lives via suicide. Everyone who ever died giving birth or under the cesarean knife would have lived had they instead chosen a safe, legal abortion during the typical first trimester. There is no knowing in advance who will die; the risk is there for every pregnant person.
Life is not a miracle, in the word’s most common sense. It’s not something that just happens, as though by magic – nor is it, as children may be told, born by stork through open windows. The creation of a human being requires the physical suffering of another person. Symptoms of a typical pregnancy would certainly be termed illness – and often severe illness – if experienced by any category other than the pregnant. Nine months is a long time to be so incapacitated, but many of these symptoms, such as tooth decay, have permanent effects. Childbirth and the major abdominal surgery known as cesarean sections are, of course, objectively damaging in the best of circumstances and require many weeks and months of medical recovery. Very often the person bringing life into the world sustains serious injuries rarely acknowledged, affecting areas of the body considered unfit for public discussion. Tissue damage may result in enduring painful intercourse, or incontinence. Permanent pelvic fractures are all too common.
It is sensible to presume that, even if no laws enforced it, the vast majority of abortions would continue to occur within the first trimester. A person who endures five or six months of pregnancy clearly intends to have a baby. Late-term abortions are overwhelmingly the result of dire health concerns, and not what any compassionate person would call “elective.”
The Catholic Church, easily the most prolific and influential pro-life organization globally, enshrines a much more stringent definition of non-elective abortion. Even when the termination of pregnancy will most certainly save the life of the person who is pregnant, and when the life of the unborn otherwise will certainly not be long, no abortion is moral that intends the death it causes. For example, in the case of ectopic pregnancies, an embryo found developing in a place other than a uterus may only be terminated indirectly, by, say, the removal of a lady’s fallopian tube.
Following what is characteristically Catholic logic, it can be argued that the intent of an action is as important as the impact of the action. But following what is characteristically Catholic prejudice, intent is treated as more important than impact when the subject is abortion. Further, and uniquely here, intent is treated as external, rather than private – visible to the Church and open to public evaluation.
As a Catholic, you are taught in other contexts that a person’s heart and mind are private spheres, and that this privacy is sacred. Not even angels can read minds. It can’t be assumed that the intention of abortion is to kill a zygote or embryo anymore than it can be assumed that the intention of a fallopian tube’s removal is not to kill a zygote or an embryo. Excepting such specific, individual cases where, say, a pregnant woman appeals for advice to her parish priest, then – the logic that is being used to tell us that it’s wrong to have an abortion, can’t be used to tell us that it’s wrong to have an abortion.
By a similar prejudice, the Church’s reasoning regarding self-defense is never applied to pregnancy. However, abortion removes the risk of death from one person at the expense of another. Because pregnancy cannot be ended with less than lethal force, lethal force is proportionate to threat. On these grounds, abortion should be considered valid self-defense.
You may balk at categorizing a helpless embryo the same as a willful assailant. This, too, is bias. According to the Church, we have no right to distinguish the value of lives based on guilt or innocence. Regardless of what crimes a person has committed, Catholic teaching holds that human being as incalculably precious and worthy of life. A child-soldier, blameless and vulnerable, is to be shown the same mercy as the commanding warlord when either are removed from battle and posing no active threat.
While in battle, the Church’s longstanding support for the concept of Just War argues that (arbitrarily contrary to what we’d argue with abortion) it is permissible to organize and intend the use of lethal force. A pregnant woman is different from a soldier only in that she is neither following orders, nor recognized, by the Church, as an authority over the territory of her body.
Interestingly, though the Church does specifically proclaim bodily integrity to be a value worth the outlaw of slavery, torture, and medical experimentation enacted voyeuristically, we have never been clear that a violation of bodily autonomy, even including rape, justifies defensive homicide. It was, however, once considered acceptable to kill yourself in the event that you were a virgin girl on the verge of being raped. And if you died while “defending your virtue”, you might just earn your sainthood.
There is something to the Church more precious than a life.
Abortion is a special crime not because of death – for all life is to be equally valued, and every child born requires the risk of another. What rankles so throughout the Church is the fact, the known fact, that a pregnant person made a choice about it.
If it were known to all that the Virgin Mary was pro-choice, would we take her experience into consideration? Or would we dismiss her? Would we hate her? Would we call her an enemy of life? Would we, solemn and troubled, ponder the idea, that mother though she was, and Mother though we call her, she was able to hold her head high and consider, just a minute, a world where we didn’t belong?
Does that thought bring us too near for comfort to the brink of non-existence? Can we feel the power slipping from us if we place it in her hands? Does it make us feel better to imagine that she had no choice, that she was God’s servant in the sense that she couldn’t say no?
Or maybe we’ll just compartmentalize, again, to save ourselves from considering abortion in one vein with the rest of our theology. The Annunciation will have nothing to do with questions of life or death. The main difference, we’ll conclude, is that – regardless of whether God was obliged to respect her wishes – a hypothetical no from Mary wouldn’t have physically killed Jesus.
According to the Vatican, life begins, case-closed, at the exact point where a sperm and egg cell meet. The angel says, you will conceive – Jesus wasn’t there, yet. Of course, conception as the starting point makes it theologically difficult to determine when Christ’s life did begin. There was no sperm involved. Unless it was God-sperm spontaneously generated. Maybe zygote-Jesus was entirely concocted from divine genesis, or one of Mary’s egg-cells divinely mutated. The point is, we have no canon idea when or of what Christ was made.
So life-at-conception isn’t inclusive of Jesus.
Nor is he the only one left out. Identical twins, springing from a single zygote, would have to be considered half-people if personhood could not begin after conception. Chimeras, splicing from multiple zygotes into one, contain multiple living strands of DNA. Such people can sometimes be identified by two differently-colored eyes. If both zygotes are people, and neither one dies, a chimera is a couple.
Great though it would be to watch the Vatican back-dooring acceptance of “them/they’re” pronouns and polygamia, the prospect of forcing a several-soul identity onto a child born chimera should remove from us such arrogance as would assert we know no mystery regarding life’s beginning.
What we have learned through science is that, including those zygotes who fail to implant, three-quarters of all conceived are lost naturally before they are ever born. That the Church does not condemn unprotected sex as reckless endangerment, but rather endorses it between married persons, is a valuation unexamined. It states that an infant is worth the sacrifice of every life lost in utero. In the Church’s eyes, the born child is worth more – by far – than any developing embryo.
Humility could spare us heresy and bless us with compassion, when, without it, our quest for righteousness entitles us to tramp beyond the veil of a breathing human’s flesh. Is there no reason, after all, that God saw fit to bury the sphere of life within us? Are the insides of our bodies not private, and sacred, just like the insides of our minds?
Mystery has its job to do. It stands as shield between us and a knowledge too profound. Protecting us from heartbreak in the wake of zygotes gone. Blowing away our labels before we stick them to each other, and lifting from our backs the weight of explanation. Some things don’t fit neatly into boxes. The straightest path has always been to accept that we’ve been confounded.

Hunted creatures we had been, quaking under quiet sky
From clear and blue do devils dive
Shredding flesh and spitting flame
The burned should dare not lift their eyes, but choked by smoke might utter groan
Storm and strike, tri-partite God, but let no gap be known!
Send thunder, send poison, send deathrock and sword,
Join angels with razors defending your home
Kill us with fire or fill us with force
Let no fury offend us like this left alone
And why did angels never scream, why wouldn’t lilies bite?
Why, oh feeble light of stars, why shine so still all night?
What faith is left for quietude, when once the voids collide?
How could we trust in gentleness, who slaughter had survived?
And of this itchy-twitchy stillness we’ve been left to wonder in
No thunder-voice has ever come to break, burn, blow and make us new
We were sobbing for our master
What we got were butterflies,
Laughing through this naked air like life was something new
Hunted creatures we had been, and yet the world is wide
All safe and sound, all left behind
Still bound by vow to providence
Our brutal faith makes us believe we’ve magic left inside
And we’ll be damned if we forget to use good common sense
Impossible odds have decided it’s more in our nature to fear
Blue sky can’t be counted on, and demons won’t be kept
Ours is to wonder – to wander, brew light from cold thunder
Remember the failure of Rapture today; let never our hungers be met

Table 1. Characteristics of excluded studies, selected for qualitative analysis (n=9).
Rhythmic gymnastics has been an Olympic sport since 1984, however, there are relatively few studies about this sport. In order to understand whether genetic predisposition could play a role in defining the flexibility phenotype in rhythmic gymnastics, the purpose of this study was to review the current literature and systematically identify common polymorphisms linked to genes correlated with joint mobility in elite rhythmic gymnastics. Systematic computerized searches were performed from 1950 to 2017 in the following databases: Medline, Embase, Cinahl, Lilacs, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science, Scopus and the Cochrane Central. Although the search initially identified 9761 studies, after removing duplicates and excluding by title and abstract, only 10 studies demonstrated potential to be included. After reading of full-texts, 9 studies were entered in the qualitative synthesis, thus only 1 study was eligible for this systematic review. The results of Tringali's study demonstrated that the COL5A1 CT genotype was linked to high joint mobility and to the occurrence of genu recurvatum. From this systematic review, further investigations are suggested to confirm the results of involving genes related to physiological and anthropometric determinants of rhythmic gymnastics performance.
La gimnasia rítmica ha sido un deporte olímpico desde 1984, sin embargo, hay relativamente pocos estudios sobre este deporte. Para entender si la predisposición genética podría desempeñar un papel en la definición del fenotipo de la flexibilidad en gimnasia rítmica, el propósito de este estudio era revisar la literatura actual e identificar sistemáticamente los polimorfismos comunes ligados a genes correlacionados con la movilidad articular en la gimnasia rítmica de élite. Se realizaron búsquedas sistemáticas computarizadas desde 1950 a 2017 en las siguientes bases de datos: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, LILACS, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science, Scopus y la Central Cochrane. Aunque la búsqueda de la base de datos identificó inicialmente 9.761 estudios, después de quitar duplicados y de excluir por título y resumen, solamente 10 estudios demostraron el potencial que se incluirá. Después de la lectura de textos completos, se introdujeron 9 estudios en la síntesis cualitativa, por lo que solo un estudio fue elegible para esta revisión sistemática. Los resultados del estudio de Tringali demostraron que el genotipo COL5A1 CT fue ligado a la alta movilidad común y a la ocurrencia del genu recurvatum. A partir de esta revisión sistemática, se sugieren investigaciones adicionales para confirmar los resultados de la participación de genes relacionados con los determinantes fisiológicos y antropométricos del rendimiento de la gimnasia rítmica.
The gymnastics modalities, artistic, rhythmic, trampoline, and tumbling are recognized for involving highly specialized strength, endurance, speed, agility, balance, power, and flexibility. All these physical abilities play a role in the success of a competitive gymnast.1–3 The notorious levels of flexibility are the single greatest discriminator of gymnastics from other sports, especially in rhythmic gymnasts.1,3–7 Moreover, the high-level of physical performance in rhythmic gymnastics is influenced by the association between numerous motor skills and anthropometric factors.5,6 This sport is characterized by rigid technical movements such as pivots, balance, jumps, and poise,5,8,11,12 and generally, in competitive routines that last about 60–90s, requires the use of a considerable degree of flexibility and velocity in a high-intensity effort with dexterous manipulation of the associated apparatus.5
In fact, results in rhythmic gymnastics competitions depend on a large number of complex components such as technical, artistic, and aesthetic elements, and extreme ranges of motion,1 and it has been postulated by some authors that these factors are influenced by genetics aspects.7,9,11–13
The recognition of factors, genetic and/or environmental, to identify early talent is especially important for early specialization sports in which athletes make their appearance at the highest competitive levels at a relatively young age, such as rhythmic gymnastics.2 Thus, in recent decades, the relationship between elite sports performance and genetic predisposition has been widely explored.2,14–16 Genetic analysis is useful for talent identification in rhythmic gymnastics as it could identify athletes more predisposed to some anthropometric features and flexibility.7,17 In particular, extreme range of motion among rhythmic gymnastics has always been a main criterion in selection tests and talent identification.1 Thereby, the identification of polymorphisms related to flexibility may contribute in the selection of elite athletes, facilitating the mechanism used to identify qualified girls at early ages18 when the selection of athletes usually occurs, commencing around the age of 6 years.2
Previous studies have described polymorphisms within the COL5A1 gene, related to generalized joint hypermobility,11,19 and the possible influence of the variants of the ACNT3 gene on the flexibility of ballet dancers.9 However, there are few studies regarding which genetic factors may influence the sports performance of rhythmic gymnastics, specifically the outcome related to flexibility.7 Thus, in order to understand whether genetic predisposition could play a role in defining the flexibility phenotype in elite rhythmic gymnastics, the purpose of this study was to review the current literature and systematically identify common polymorphisms linked to genes correlated with joint mobility in elite rhythmic gymnastics.
This systematic review followed the recommendations of the PRISMA Statement.20 The protocol for the review was registered with PROSPERO (International Prospective Register for Systematic Review; reference CRD42017057333).
A systematic review was originally completed on 29th December 2017 and later updated on 02nd May 2018 in the following databases: MEDLINE, Embase, LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Health Science Literature Database), SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), SPORTDiscus, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). Furthermore, the ‘grey area’ was consulted (references of included manuscripts, thesis, and abstracts). The strategy was specific for each of the electronic databases, composed of the targets: population, exposures, and outcome. The search strategy was formulated with the following keywords, inserted both in isolation and combined: athletes, female (Population), genotypes, gene, polymorphisms, heritability (Exposures), flexibility, joint mobility, range of motion (Outcome). There were no language restrictions or specific periods of publication.
Inclusion and exclusion criteriaParticipants/population
The participants included from the eligible studies were only female rhythmic gymnastics athletes, regardless of their competitive levels, length of experience, age, or the size of the sample. Hereinafter, studies with athletes involved in other types of gymnastics, such as, artistic gymnastics, aerobic, acrobatic, or artistic activities such as ballet dancers or similar were excluded. In addition, studies with participants who had diseases, injuries, or were in rehabilitation were also rejected.
In this review, studies related to any type of polymorphism gene that affects joint mobility associated with performance of rhythmic gymnastics were included. Studies with polymorphisms involving other motor capacities, not flexibility, such as strength, velocity, or balance were excluded from the qualitative synthesis.
The definition of the tests or the association for the comparison of range of motion with the gene, or the form of extraction of genetic DNA did not form part of the requirements for inclusion of studies.
Quantitative experimental studies, such as cross-sectional or longitudinal studies, and case control studies were considered. Controls groups were not necessary, only that the population consisted of rhythmic gymnastics athletes, where evaluation of the performance of flexibility was compulsory, through testing or physical association, related to the genetic structure.
For inclusion in the current study, two authors (CRS, LFS) screened the search results for potentially eligible studies. When titles and abstracts suggested that a study was potentially eligible for inclusion, a copy of the full text of the manuscript was obtained. Disagreements between the two authors regarding a study's eligibility were solved by discussion or, when necessary, by a third author (CCS). The aim was to identify investigations that declared whether there are genetic polymorphisms which affect joint mobility and, if this is associated with performance in female rhythmic gymnastics.
The following information was extracted from the studies considered eligible: Author, year, sample, gene/polymorphism, available performance of flexibility, results, and conclusion. All collected data were entered in a qualitative analysis table for comparison of the results of the selected studies.
Risk of bias was evaluated using a modified version of the Newcastle-Otawa-Scale (NOS), previously used by Perera et al.21 The risk of bias was performed only in manuscripts included in a qualitative synthesis. Agreement was achieved between two researchers (CCS and CRS). The NOS contained four domains of risk assessment. In each domain the scale measures the likelihood of bias with four possible scores ranging from 0 to 3, representing high and low risk of bias, respectively. The domains were as follows: selection bias, performance bias, detection bias, and information bias.
The Kappa coefficient was calculated using SPSS 20 (Chicago, IL, USA) to assess the agreement among judges for risk of bias of the included studies.
A PRISMA flow diagram is presented in Fig. 1. The original search yielded 9761 studies of which, after exclusion of duplicates (n=2169) the number of papers was 7592. Subsequently, through analysis of titles and abstracts, 7582 papers were removed. The main reasons for exclusion of titles were the studies assessed other physical capacities and did not involve the performance of flexibility, or the population included individuals with diseases, or other sporting modalities.

In total, 10 manuscripts were included in this review in order to better understand the background of the literature and answer the main objective of this study. After reading, only one manuscript was considered eligible considering the aim of this systematic review, hence, the only study included in the qualitative synthesis was published by Tringali et al. in 2014.7
The study by Tringali et al.7 had a design that was especially focused on rhythmic gymnastics and the relationship between genetic aspects and flexibility. The researchers investigated the ratio of the frequencies of alleles and genotypes from ADRB2 and FTO genes in relation to body mass, ACTN3 and ACE genes with explosive strength, and the COL5A1 gene with joint mobility. The results demonstrated that high-level rhythmic gymnasts constituted a genetically selected population, demonstrating a higher frequency of ADRB2 (G allele) and FTO (A allele) linked to a low body mass index and low fat mass. With regard to the phenotype of explosive force, this study analyzed two polymorphisms, the ACTN3 and ACE genes. The results did not demonstrate any connection between these polymorphisms and explosive force in high-level rhythmic gymnasts. Finally, although the COL5A1 CT genotype was linked to high joint mobility and the occurrence of genu recurvatum, it was also linked to a higher incidence of injuries. The authors concluded that high-level performance in rhythmic gymnastics could be positively affected by specific gene variants on the phenotype.
These results are important since they signal the way forward for additional research with recognition that genetic analysis could be useful for talent identification in rhythmic gymnastics as it could indicate athletes more predisposed to some anthropometrical features and/or flexibility. Furthermore, it is important to emphasize that in this quantitative synthesis the risk of bias analysis was performed by two independent researchers using the modified Newcastle-Ottawa-Scale (NOS). The results of the Kappa coefficient were 0.76 and interpreted as good agreement.22 Even though Tringali et al.7 performed the only study included in this systematic review, the results of the NOS demonstrated an excellent score, 23 of 24 items, with a low risk of bias. Thus, their conclusions lead the way for new findings.
Additionally, we performed the qualitative synthesis with another 9 manuscripts excluded from the systematic review. The main reasons for the exclusion of these studies were that they did not investigate rhythmic gymnastics, but other modalities of gymnastics and ballet. However, these papers contribute to the identification of research about polymorphism and performance in sports (Table 1).
Characteristics of excluded studies, selected for qualitative analysis (n=9).
Authors (year)
Test of flexibility
Brown, et al. (2011)19 325 (204 males and 124 females) subjects, healthy and physically active; aged 18–63 years (young group, aged 18–35 years, older group, aged >=35 years). COL5A1 gene; rs12722 SNP and TT, TC, or CC genotypes. SR ROM. There were no significant genotype interactions with SR ROM. However, the CC genotype is associated with SR ROM in older individuals (>=35 years). Furthermore, sex and the COL5A1 polymorphism explained 22.8% of variance in SR ROM. The COL5A1 rs12722 SNP interacted significantly with age for SR ROM in an apparently healthy and physically active cohort.
Collins et al. (2009)11 119 (83 males; 36 females) subjects, physically active with achilles tendinopathy (TEN group; 34 males and 16 females; mean age 33.9 years); achilles rupture (RUP group; 26 males and 9 females; mean age 46 years); and asymptomatic (CON group; 23 males and 11 females; mean age 49 years). COL5A1 gene; rs13936 SNP and TT, TC, or CC genotypes; Rs12722 SNP and TT, TC, or CC genotypes; Rs3196378 SNP and AA, AC, or CC genotypes; rs11103544 TT, TC, or CC genotypes. SR and SLR ROM. SR and SRL ROM similar between TEN, RUP, and CON. TC genotype from rs12722 polymorphism less flexible than TT and CC genotypes. The factors contributing significantly to SR and SRL ROM were weight, age, and the COL5A1 rs12722 SNP. The COL5A1 rs12722 SNP interacted significantly with age and weight for ROM.
Di Cagno et al. (2013)17 51 rhythmic gymnasts. 28 elite gymnasts, (mean age 21±7.6 years) and 23 middle level (mean age 17±10.9 years). Furthermore, data of 222 subjects of Italian population and 72 subjects of European population from Rajeevan et al., 2003 were used. ACE gene; rs4646994 SNP and II, ID, or DD genotypes; AGTR1 gene; rs5186 SNP and AA, AC, or CC genotypes. Not applied. The ACE D allele was more frequent in elite athletes than in the Italian population (x2=4.07, P=0.04). DD genotype was more frequent in elite athletes than in middle level athletes. There were no significant differences in the AGTR1 rs5186 SNP between the middle level and elite athletes. The ACE D allele could be a contributing factor to high-performance rhythmic gymnastics. It should be considered in athlete development.
Kikuchi et al. (2017)12 Cohort 1: 776 subjects (208 men and 568 women), age range 23–88 years; Cohort 2:1257 subjects (529 men and 728 women), aged 23–87 years. ACTN3 gene; rs1815739 SNP; TT (XX), TC (XR), or CC (RR) genotypes; T allele encoded a stop codon (X); C allele encoded an arginine (R). SR ROM – Trunk flexibility test. In Cohort 1, RR genotype lower SR than those in the RX and XX genotypes even after adjusting for sex, age, and exercise habit as covariates. In Cohort 2, RR genotype lower SR than in RX and XX, but the differences were not significant. Meta-analysis showed that subjects with RR genotype had lower flexibility than RX and XX. ACTN3 rs1815739 polymorphism is associated with trunk flexibility.
Kim et al. (2014)9 300 females (97 ballet dancers and 203 normal females); aged 18 to 39 years. ACE gene; rs1799572 SNP and II, ID, or DD genotypes; ACTN3 gene; rs1815739 SNP; TT (XX), TC (XR), or CC (RR) genotypes; COL5A1 gene; rs12722 SNP and TT, TC, or CC genotypes. SR and SLR ROM. TT (XX) genotype from ACTN3 gene is associated with lower flexibility of ballerinas than TC (XR) and CC (XX) genotypes. Ankle injury is more prevalent in ballerinas with TT (XX) genotype. These ballerinas have a risk of injury in the ankle about 4.7 (95% CI: 1.6–13.4, P<0.05) times more than ballerinas with CC (RR) and CT (RX) – genotypes. Meanwhile, the COL5A1 polymorphism in ballerinas has no association with flexibility and injury risks. ACE and ACTN3 polymorphism were associated with ballerinas’ performance capacity.
Lim et al. (2015)13 177 (109 males; 68 females) Korean and Japanese college students. Aged>18 years. COL5A1 gene; rs12722 SNP and TT, TC, or CC genotypes. SR and SLR ROM. In addition, they performed the WBJL. TT genotype is associated with lower values of SLR in relation to TC or CC genotypes. However, no significant difference was seen in the WBJL among the COL5A1 genotype, but a significant difference was seen in CC genotype when compared to CT (2.99±1.72) or TT (2.70±1.52). The data indicate an association between the COL5A1 genotypes and SLR ROM in young Asian students.
Massidda et al. (2009)16 88 subjects: 35 Italian elite artistic gymnasts (17 male and 18 female; mean age 10.4 years) and 53 healthy and sedentary subjects (31 male and 22 female). Aged approximately 10.4 years (male: 12.5±5.12years; female: 8.4±1.8 years). ACTN3 gene; rs1815739 SNP; TT (XX), TC (XR), or CC (RR) genotypes. T allele encoded a stop codon (X); C allele encoded an arginine (R). Not applied. ACTN3 XX genotype and X allele frequencies were significantly lower in gymnasts compared to controls. The ACTN3 XX genotype frequency was lower in gymnasts compared to controls, but was only significant for males. These results suggest that a-actinin-3 is beneficial to skeletal muscle function in generating forceful contractions at high velocity.
O’connell et al. (2013)24 350 healthy physically active adults (216 males and 134 females) aged>18 years. COL3A1 gene; rs1800255 SNP and GG, GA, or AA genotypes; COL6A1 gene; rs35796750 SNP and TT, TC, or CC genotypes; COL12A1 gene; rs970547 SNP and AA, AG, or GG genotypes. SR and SLR ROM, and ShTR. Measurements were determined for dominant and non-dominant limbs. There were no significant genotype interactions with SR ROM, SLR ROM, and ShTR. No associations between polymorphisms of genes to collagen type III, VI, and XII.
Posthumus et al. (2010)25 105 subjects of both genders. MMP3 gene, rs679620 SNP and AA, AG, and GG genotypes; COL5A1 gene; rs12722 SNP and TT, TC, or CC genotypes. COL5A1 data were from early studies. SR ROM, and L and R-SLR ROM. There were no significant genotype interactions with SR ROM or SLR ROM. No associations between polymorphisms of genes to collagen type V and Matrix Metalloproteinase 3 and SR or SLR ROM.

Through qualitative synthesis of 9 articles we can better compare the outcome and analyze the gene polymorphisms in common in the studies. Although the studies included population samples different from the objective of the literature review, the results of the articles contributed to clarifying and explaining the possible relationships of genes with flexibility.
All included studies were cross-sectional, no intervention took place. To evaluate the performance of flexibility some authors preferred physical tests and others an association of phenotypic characteristics, with or without a control group.
Among the 9 studies in this synthesis, four studies analyzed the COL5A1 gene,9,11,13,19 three studies investigated the ACTN3 gene,9,12,23 and three studies analyzed isolated genes. Polymorphism of COL3A1, COL6A1, and COL12A1 genes were studied by O’Connell et al.,24 while the MMP3 gene was assessed by Posthumus et al.,25 and ACE and AGTR1 were analyzed by Di Cagno et al.17
In the general qualitative results, the COL5A1 gene polymorphism was associated with flexibility performance in active subjects,11,19 and in the Asian group.13 However, in the ballerina’ group COL5A1 was not associated with any factors of performance.10 Interestingly, in the same study the XX genotype of the ACTN3 gene showed lower body weight and lower fat-free mass than the RR and RX genotypes (P<0.05). In addition, the means of the sit and reach test for flexibility were lower in the ACTN3 XX genotype of ballerinas than the RR and RX genotypes (P<0.05). The ACNT3 gene polymorphism was further presented in another 2 studies.12,16 Massidda's study verified that the relationship between the ACTN3 XX genotype and performance was beneficial to skeletal muscle function in generating forceful contractions at high velocity in Italian elite artistic gymnasts, while the results of Kikuchi et al.12 observed that the RR genotype of ACTN3 R577X in the general Japanese group showed lower sit-and-reach flexibility when compared to the RX and XX genotypes.
Other studies performed analysis with different gene polymorphisms, such as COL3A1, COL6A1, and COL12A1 variants,24 and a functional variant within the MMP3 gene.25 The results of both aforementioned studies demonstrated no association of these genotypes with range of motion. Finally, in the qualitative synthesis, Di Cagno et al.17 performed an evaluation with ACE and AGTR1 polymorphisms in elite rhythmic gymnastics; however these polymorphisms are not related with flexibility, but with endurance performance.
To our knowledge, this is the first systematic review to examine the associations of gene variations and range of motion in athletes of rhythmic gymnastics. The main finding of this study was the paucity of evidence, especially as in the quantitative synthesis only one study was found that could be included.7 However, the review is not weak as a result, mostly as the risk of bias of this study was low and the study recruited a large sample including younger gymnastics (n=42 competitive rhythmic gymnastics; aged 12.8±2.0) compared with a control group (n=42 girls performing sport at recreation level, aged 11.5±5.0 years). The results demonstrated that among athletes, 44% of those carrying the COL5A1 CT genotype, naturally showed genu recurvatum. The COL5A1 CT genotype predisposes to joint laxity, and could confer an advantage for rhythmic gymnastics even if it possibly entails a higher risk of injuries, as demonstrated in the results. The 36% of athletes carrying the CT genotype had suffered injuries at least once during their competitive career in comparison to 8% of athletes carrying the TT genotype and none carrying the CC genotype.
Regarding the COL5A1 gene, it is a wide recognized as strongly associated with range of motion,13 approximately 64–70% of variability of joint range of motion is hereditable,24,26 mainly through a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs12722(T/C) within the functional COL5A1. However, there were contradictory results with some studies reporting a positive association between COLA51 and range of motion,11,13,19 while other studies did not verify an association.9,25
Joint hypermobility is consistent with a genetic influence. Hakim et al.26 observed a significantly greater concordance for joint hypermobility in monozygotic twins when compared with dizygotic twins (60% versus 36%). Thereafter, associations between joint hypermobility, the risk of soft tissue injury, and chronic widespread pain are not uncommon. Collagen gene variants have been reported, associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk and joint laxity.27 These authors investigated the genetic variants within the genes coding for collagen types I, V, and XII (COL1A1, COL5A1, and COL12A1) in 124 healthy, recreationally active subjects (50 male, 74 female). The conclusions confirmed that the gene variants previously associated with ACL injury risk were in a large part also associated with joint laxity. On the other hand, genetic collagen disorders, such as Benign Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (BJHS), have been described as possibly being an advantage in certain activities, such as gymnasts and ballet dancers.28 In the early 1970s Grahame and Jenkins29 compared the range of joint movements in 53 female dance students from the Royal Ballet School with that of 53 student nurses from Guy's Hospital, London. The study showed that inherent joint laxity was more common among the dancers.29 Posteriorly, McCormack et al.28 investigated joint laxity and BJHS in student and professional ballet dancers. The results demonstrated that hypermobility and BJHS were common in male and female dancers compared with controls, suggesting that positive selection on grounds of hypermobility occurs early in a ballet career. However, the limitation of this type of study was that hypermobility was defined by a test score from dynamometer and anthropometric measures without association with genetic aspects.
More recently, Kim et al.10 studied genetic association flexibility and injury risk with COL5A1 polymorphisms in Korean ballerinas. The results showed that the COL5A1 polymorphism in ballerinas had no association with any factors, including flexibility and injury risks. In the same way, O’Connel et al.25 also did not observe an association between polymorphisms in COL3A1, COL6A1, and COL12A genes that encode proteins of collagen, which cause connective tissue hypermobility disorders. However, the group assessed by these authors was composed by 350 physically active Caucasian participants, not a specific group, such as ballerinas or gymnasts. These divergent results may be explained as the joint range of motion is a complex phenotype, and is associated with intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including the impact of aging19 sexual and hormonal factors,19,27 racial status,9,27 and several genetic polymorphisms can be associated with range of motion, besides different variants of genes being candidates to explain range of motion.24,27
In addition to the COL5A1 genotype, other polymorphisms are also highlighted in the qualitative synthesis of the present study, such as ACTN3 R577X,9,12,23 which was also described in the study by Tringali et al.7 in the quantitative synthesis analysis. The ACTN3 R577X polymorphism encodes α-actinin 3 in skeletal muscle fibres, associated with fast and powerful contractions.30 The general results demonstrated that the ACTN3 XX genotype is also related with low fat-free mass, and a higher risk of ankle-joint injury in ballerinas,9 besides being associated with trunk flexibility, with the RR genotype showing lower trunk flexibility compared to the RX and XX genotypes in Japanese groups.12 This same polymorphism (ACTN R577X) was also associated with benefits to skeletal muscle function in generating forceful contractions at high velocity in elite artistic male gymnasts.23 However, in the main study included in this systematic review,8 the genotyping of ACTN3 R577X did not appear to be connected with the phenotype of high-level rhythmic gymnasts (n=42).
Among manuscripts inserted in the qualitative synthesis, the only study related to rhythmic gymnastics was the investigation of Di Cagno et al.17 These authors examined the involvement of ACE and AGTR1 gene polymorphisms in 28 Italian elite rhythmic gymnasts (age range 21±7.6 years), and compared them to 23 middle level rhythmic gymnasts (age range 17±10.9 years). Both polymorphisms studied are related to components of the endocrine renin-angiotensin system which is involved in a variety of cellular functions, including tissue growth and repair, which may also influence motor performance17 However, there are 2 limitations in this study: the first is these polymorphisms are not related to flexibility or articular hypermobility; and the second is the authors did not apply performance tests to associate with genes.
Finally, despite being a wide systematic review it is appropriate to indicate some limitations of this study. The inclusion of only one study in the quantitative synthesis indicates the need for new investigations. Based on the results of this systematic review, the studies present some contradictory results. For instance no association between COL5A1 and flexibility was observed in Korean ballerinas,9 while in Tringali's study the same polymorphism demonstrated an association with natural knee hyperextension in the group of rhythmic gymnastics athletes. Although the studies investigated the same polymorphism (rs.12722 of COL5A1 gene), it is important to consider other factors, such as different populations, with the impact of race, and different ways to assess flexibility. These points should be considered when structuring and designing new studies with a focus on this Olympic sport, and preferably with a large sample at different levels of competition and during talent selection.
The findings of this systematic review have many positive implications for the field of research. Primarily, this review provides a comprehensive synthesis about which gene variation could play a role in the joint mobility of elite rhythmic gymnastics athletes. However, from this review it is possible to recognize that further investigations are required to determine any specific effects of the mutations within the genes that encode the collagen proteins (COL5A1, COL3A1, COL6A1, and COL12A1), and/or to investigate other genes, such as the MMP3 gene, which code for proteins with regulatory roles in maintaining the extracellular matrix, linked with joint hypermobility in rhythmic gymnastics athletes.
Clearly, rhythmic gymnastics is a highly complex sport activity,7,31 thus, it may not be determined by a single gene, more probably from the interaction of multiple genes, in addition to other non-genetic factors that could explain the different results,5,14 such as physical training.4,31 In this perspective, we suggest, from this systematic review, further investigations to confirm the results of Tringali et al.7 involving genes related to physiological and anthropometric determinants of rhythmic gymnastics performance.
