A Four Star showing from James McGee
by Damien Daly
Sun 03 March 2019 – Two weeks ago, the St Brendan’s Football 1st XV, commenced their 2019 AFL5 League campaign with an away tie against Ballyboden St Endas. Last year it was the Boden who emerged with a one point victory, but this year and playing in very windy conditions, St Brendan’s emerged with the two League points and a two point victory 0-08 to 0-06.
Onto the 2nd game of the season and the first home game of the season against Ballymun Kickhams, played at Grangegorman. After training for this game in lovely mild spring weather, the heavens opened in abundance and a bitter cold breeze blew throughout the game.
The Dark Force was dealt a blow 30 seconds into the game when The Notorious Ryan Egan was sent to the line with a black card, and the away side got the opening score. John Burns then hit a brace of points, the first from a free in and the second from open play after Niall Prenty made the most of a poor Ballymun kickout.
The Prince of Ballyhaunis then collected a long ball from Luke McDonagh and sent a shot goalward, but the ball dropped and found James McGee who calmly palmed the ball into the Ballymun net on what was the beginning of an unforgettable morning for the Milltown Goal King.
The score became 1-03 to 0-01 with a Burns free in from 13 yards as St Brendan’s after a Ballymun player was black carded for a pull down on Philip Kilcullen. Burns stepped up again with another close range free, with Adrian ‘The Abbey’ Murphy drawing the foul. Burns made it a hat trick of free in’s with a third free in a move that was started and ended by full back Jason Clarke.
The away side hit a brace of points from open play and Burns bid for a fourth consecutive score from a free ended when the kick from the wrong side for a left footer went wide and the last action of the first half.
Half Time Score: St Brendans 1-05 (08) to 0-03 Ballymun Kickums
The Dark Force hit the ground running in the second half, playing with the wind and not having to cope with the rain in their faces. Firstly Adrian ‘The Abbey’ Murphy hit a sweet point from 30 yards and secondly, Philip Kilcullen hit one from the other side of the pitch. A shot from Colin Folan was heading for the endline when Kilcullen played a spectacular blind back pass towards John Burns and onto James McGee whose low shot gave him his second goal of the game.
John Dolan may have retired from St Brendan’s GAA but his legacy lives on in the shape of ‘The John Dolan Special’ this time it was Burns who skimmed the endline and fisted over the bar in a move which started with a turnover ball from The Rob Kearney of Swinford, Jason Clarke. McGee got his hat trick when Frankin ‘Kepa’ O’Reilly played a great ball to Phil Bannon and onto McGee whose shot hit the butt of the post and rolled into the net. 3-08 to 0-04.
Lorcan Bannon came on to replace Niall Prenty and his first contribution was to supply the final pass to his brother Phil to pop the ball over the bar. Lorcan Bannon tried to pick up the ball off the greasy surface but managed to find James McGee who saved his best til last with a spectacular volley into the top right hand corner of the net and his fourth goal. Even Ryan Egan in the dugout got so excited that he hit his head on top of the dugout in celebration.
Following another point from the away side, Denis Galvin was brought on for James McGee who got a standing ovation from all the players in the dugout. Galvin picked up where McGee left off by notching up the next point 4-10 to 0-05.
Five minutes to go and Ballymun beat Mark Redican for goal. St Brendan’s responded when Lorcan Bannon tried to go for placement but was fouled outside the penalty area. Burns stepped up to convert the free and then won the next kick out and passed to Philip Kilcullen to raise St Brendan’s fifth green flag of the morning.
In reply, Ballymun hit a second goal in what was their best move of the game. Cormac ‘Skins’ Mullen won possession and played to Colin Folan who scored his first point of the day. Jason Clarke ensured Ballymun remained at 2-05 with another clearance to Gerard Bannon and onto Denis Galvin who despite being tackled, played a scrum half-esque pass to John Burns who finally found Luke McDonagh for a shot over the bar.
Galvin crowned off a tremendous Brendan’s performance by scoring the final point of the morning and the referee whistled up for full time. So two from two in AFL5 but now the team must wait four weeks till the next AFL5 outing with a short trip to Martin Savage Park in Ashtown and a clash against St Oliver Plunketts Eoghan Ruadh.
Final score from Grangegorman: St Brendan’s 5-15 (30) to 2-05 (11) Ballymun Kickhams

Home / 2013 / November / The Execution of A Cockroach
The Execution of A Cockroach
November, 2013 · by Abhirup Bangara · in Fiction, Flash Fiction
The sunlight shone through the window, a rarity on an afternoon in monsoon season, and illuminated the classroom floor. It revealed a creature ensconced in the grime of the floor. The translucent wings of a lowly cockroach coruscated in the sunlight. It was almost as if it was waiting for the sun on its back to get on with its business, as it almost immediately began to scurry along the floor of the classroom.
I watched it from my seat, high above the tiny creature. It ran around the classroom floor, on the hunt for food. Anything would do for this insect. It wasn’t picky. It was almost as if it knew its place on the food chain – right down at the bottom. Rubbish would be a feast for this scoundrel. The movement of its legs in a synchronized manner entranced me. The cockroach moved with purpose. It looked like nothing could stop this six legged machine, antennae flaying in the air like the mane of a mighty war steed.
However, my thoughts on the cockroach were a far cry from the truth which I was about to witness. As the tiny insect moved along the floor of the classroom, a loud scream pierced the air, as does a murderer’s knife, his victim’s heart, shattering to pieces the peace of the afternoon. A girl, sighting the cockroach running helter-skelter at her feet, had screamed bloody murder. Needless to say, she drew the attention of a crowd, who accompanied me watching the tiny, red devil. Soon there were a dozen eyes locked on the cockroach. This would be a crime the cockroach having committed, would pay for with its life.
The roach began to run with great speed for a creature its size. It had realized that something was amiss, even though it didn’t understand why. While it was executing its escape, thick clouds were rolling in, darkening the sky. The cockroach caused great panic as it began to surge through the floor, nothing stopping the insect as it maneuvered through the cracks and crevices of the terrain, evading many a flying foot hurled at its miniscule body, the darkness brought by the clouds coming to its aid. Was God on this insect’s side? Other girls began to console the victim of this winged fiend. They assured her that no harm would come to her from the creature a thousandth her size. While they did this, the boys were up in arms and were on the hunt to track the villain who seemed to have evaded every eye on the lookout for it.
No sooner had the boys contemplated giving up the hunt, than the criminal was spotted. It was hunted like prey, the predators being the boys with a fervent desire to avenge their classmate, or at least so it would logically seem. I was still watching the story of this cockroach’s short life unfurl before me. I couldn’t help but wonder if the predators knew what they were avenging, if they were aware that they were avenging something at all. That didn’t matter once the hunt was on. All that mattered was capturing the cockroach. I hoped in all sincerity that the creature would escape its hunters, but my hope, floundering at sea, was dashed against the rocks of reality.
One of the boys had caught the cockroach in his palms. This would be the insect’s jail while the authorities contemplated its trial for the crime it had committed. There would be no trial for this cockroach, for as far as its captors were concerned, this creature was as guilty as they come. All that was left was for them to decide the roach’s punishment, which wasn’t too hard. The tiny cockroach had committed an unspeakable crime. It would seem that the vox populli was louder than reason; and it was demanding death for the criminal.
Its captors were its judges, jury and executioners. There was no reasoning this decision. There was no need to. After all, it was a lowly cockroach. Attached to its body were not just legs and antennae, but guilt. What need would there be to hear a creature that was exuding guilt, its crime – being a cockroach – a sinful, loathsome, filthy insect which was unworthy of being afforded dignity. Its innocence was simply unfathomable and it had (as it had been decided for it) nothing to say on the matter. The insect was to be put to death, and what better way to do this, than by immolating it.
One of the boys held it by the antennae outside the window, the red insect squirming, pleading for mercy. The other pulled put a match box and light a match stick. He brought the flame closer to the hapless cockroach. The flame touched it and began to eat away its wings and legs. The flame soon engulfed the cockroach, whose corpse was now thrown on the window sill. The boys heaved a sigh of relief and satisfaction at their achievement. They’d rid their classroom of a notorious deviant, who now lay there on fire, in full view of its punishers.
It then began to rain as the monsoon could not hide. The water quenched the earth and her inhabitants, although it would seem that the blood of the cockroach had achieved the same in its punishers, only moments ago. A few drops of water fell on the half burnt cockroach, dousing the flame. It was too late. It lay there, dead. The water had brought an end to its story on earth, one that warmth and had started. I watched all this happen and did nothing. It was over before I even knew it had begun. The teacher then came in, and we continued to educate ourselves.

The Editorial Process
A manuscript will be reviewed for possible publication with the understanding that it is being submitted to Tzu Chi Medical Journal (TCMJ) alone at that point in time and has not been published anywhere, simultaneously submitted, or already accepted for publication elsewhere. The journal expects that authors would authorize one of them to correspond with the Journal for all matters related to the manuscript. All manuscripts received are duly acknowledged. On submission, editors review all submitted manuscripts initially for suitability for formal review. Manuscripts with insufficient originality, serious scientific or technical flaws, or lack of a significant message are rejected before proceeding for formal peer-review. Manuscripts that are unlikely to be of interest to the TCMJ readers are also liable to be rejected at this stage itself.
Manuscripts that are found suitable for publication in TCMJ are sent to two or more expert reviewers. During submission, the contributor is requested to provide names of two or three qualified reviewers who have had experience in the subject of the submitted manuscript, but this is not mandatory. The reviewers should not be affiliated with the same institutes as the contributor/s. However, the selection of these reviewers is at the sole discretion of the editor. The journal follows a single-blind review process, wherein the authors are unaware of reviewers' identity but the reviewers are aware of authors' identity. Every manuscript is also assigned to a member of the editorial team, who based on the comments from the reviewers takes a final decision on the manuscript. The comments and suggestions (acceptance/ rejection/ amendments in manuscript) received from reviewers are conveyed to the corresponding author. If required, the author is requested to provide a point by point response to reviewers’ comments and submit a revised version of the manuscript. This process is repeated till reviewers and editors are satisfied with the manuscript.
Manuscripts accepted for publication are copy edited for grammar, punctuation, print style, and format. Page proofs are sent to the corresponding author. The corresponding author is expected to return the corrected proofs within three days. It may not be possible to incorporate corrections received after that period. The whole process of submission of the manuscript to final decision and sending and receiving proofs is completed online. To achieve faster and greater dissemination of knowledge and information, the journal publishes articles online as ‘Ahead of Print’ immediately on acceptance.
Authorship credit should be based only on substantial contributions to each of the three components mentioned below:
Concept and design of study or acquisition of data or analysis and interpretation of data;
Drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and
Final approval of the version to be published.
Participation solely in the acquisition of funding or the collection of data does not justify authorship. General supervision of the research group is not sufficient for authorship. Each contributor should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content of the manuscript. The order of naming the contributors should be based on the relative contribution of the contributor towards the study and writing the manuscript. Once submitted the order cannot be changed without written consent of all the contributors. The journal prescribes a maximum number of authors for manuscripts depending upon the type of manuscript, its scope and number of institutions involved (vide infra). The authors should provide a justification, if the number of authors exceeds these limits.
Contribution Details
Contributors should provide a description of contributions made by each of them towards the manuscript. Description should be divided in following categories, as applicable: concept, design, definition of intellectual content, literature search, clinical studies, experimental studies, data acquisition, data analysis, statistical analysis, manuscript preparation, manuscript editing and manuscript review. One or more author should take responsibility for the integrity of the work as a whole from inception to published article and should be designated as 'guarantor'.
Conflicts of Interest/ Competing Interests
All authors of must disclose any and all conflicts of interest they may have with publication of the manuscript or an institution or product that is mentioned in the manuscript and/or is important to the outcome of the study presented. Authors should also disclose conflict of interest with products that compete with those mentioned in their manuscript.
All manuscripts must be submitted on-line through the website http://www.journalonweb.com/tcmj. First time users will have to register at this site. Registration is free but mandatory. Registered authors can keep track of their articles after logging into the site using their user name and password.
The journal does not charge for submission and processing of the manuscripts.
If you experience any problems, please contact the editorial office by e-mail at TCMJ@tzuchi.com.tw.
The submitted manuscripts that are not as per the “Instructions to Authors” would be returned to the authors for technical correction, before they undergo editorial/ peer-review. Generally, the manuscript should be submitted in the form of two separate files:
[1] Title Page / First Page File / Covering Letter:
This file should provide
The type of manuscript (original article, case report, review article, Letter to editor, Images, etc.) title of the manuscript, running title, names of all authors/ contributors (with their highest academic degrees, designation and affiliations) and name(s) of department(s) and/ or institution(s) to which the work should be credited. All information which can reveal your identity should be here. Use text/rtf/doc files. Do not zip the files.
The total number of pages, total number of photographs and word counts separately for abstract and for the text (excluding the references, tables and abstract), in case of an original article.
Source(s) of support in the form of grants, equipment, drugs, or all of these;
Acknowledgement, if any. One or more statements should specify 1) contributions that need acknowledging but do not justify authorship, such as general support by a departmental chair; 2) acknowledgments of technical help; and 3) acknowledgments of financial and material support, which should specify the nature of the support. This should be included in the title page of the manuscript and not in the main article file.
If the manuscript was presented as part at a meeting, the organization, place, and exact date on which it was read. A full statement to the editor about all submissions and previous reports that might be regarded as redundant publication of the same or very similar work. Any such work should be referred to specifically, and referenced in the new paper. Copies of such material should be included with the submitted paper, to help the editor decide how to handle the matter.
Registration number in case of a clinical trial and where it is registered (name of the registry and its URL)
Conflicts of Interest of each author/ contributor. A statement of financial or other relationships that might lead to a conflict of interest, if that information is not included in the manuscript itself or in an authors' form
Criteria for inclusion in the authors’/ contributors’ list
A statement that the manuscript has been read and approved by all the authors, that the requirements for authorship as stated earlier in this document have been met, and that each author believes that the manuscript represents honest work, if that information is not provided in another form (see below); and

Instructions are also available from the website of the journal (http://www.tcmjmed.com) and from the manuscript submission site http://www.journalonweb.com/tcmj).
Tzu Chi Medical Journal accepts manuscripts written in American English.
Copies of any permission(s)
It is the responsibility of authors/ contributors to obtain permissions for reproducing any copyrighted material. A copy of the permission obtained must accompany the manuscript. Copies of any and all published articles or other manuscripts in preparation or submitted elsewhere that are related to the manuscript must also accompany the manuscript.
Original articles:
These include randomized controlled trials, intervention studies, studies of screening and diagnostic test, outcome studies, cost effectiveness analyses, case-control series, and surveys with high response rate. The text of original articles amounting to up to 3000 words (excluding Abstract, references and Tables) should be divided into sections with the headings Abstract, Key-words, Introduction, Material and Methods, Results, Discussion, References, Tables and Figure legends.
Introduction: State the purpose and summarize the rationale for the study or observation.
Materials and Methods: It should include and describe the following aspects:
Ethics: When reporting studies on human beings, indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional or regional) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2000 (available at http://www.wma.net/e/policy/17-c_e.html). For prospective studies involving human participants, authors are expected to mention about approval of (regional/ national/ institutional or independent Ethics Committee or Review Board, obtaining informed consent from adult research participants and obtaining assent for children aged over 7 years participating in the trial. The age beyond which assent would be required could vary as per regional and/ or national guidelines. Ensure confidentiality of subjects by desisting from mentioning participants’ names, initials or hospital numbers, especially in illustrative material. When reporting experiments on animals, indicate whether the institution’s or a national research council’s guide for, or any national law on the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.
Evidence for approval by a local Ethics Committee (for both human as well as animal studies) must be supplied by the authors on demand. Animal experimental procedures should be as humane as possible and the details of anesthetics and analgesics used should be clearly stated. The ethical standards of experiments must be in accordance with the guidelines provided by the CPCSEA and World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki on Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Humans for studies involving experimental animals and human beings, respectively). The journal will not consider any paper which is ethically unacceptable. A statement on ethics committee permission and ethical practices must be included in all research articles under the ‘Materials and Methods’ section.
Selection and Description of Participants: Describe your selection of the observational or experimental participants (patients or laboratory animals, including controls) clearly, including eligibility and exclusion criteria and a description of the source population. Technical information: Identify the methods, apparatus (give the manufacturer's name and address in parentheses), and procedures in sufficient detail to allow other workers to reproduce the results. Give references to established methods, including statistical methods (see below); provide references and brief descriptions for methods that have been published but are not well known; describe new or substantially modified methods, give reasons for using them, and evaluate their limitations. Identify precisely all drugs and chemicals used, including generic name(s), dose(s), and route(s) of administration.
Reports of randomized clinical trials should present information on all major study elements, including the protocol, assignment of interventions (methods of randomization, concealment of allocation to treatment groups), and the method of masking (blinding), based on the CONSORT Statement (http://www.consort-statement.org).

Statistics: Whenever possible quantify findings and present them with appropriate indicators of measurement error or uncertainty (such as confidence intervals). Authors should report losses to observation (such as, dropouts from a clinical trial). When data are summarized in the Results section, specify the statistical methods used to analyze them. Avoid non-technical uses of technical terms in statistics, such as 'random' (which implies a randomizing device), 'normal', 'significant', 'correlations', and 'sample'. Define statistical terms, abbreviations, and most symbols. Specify the computer software used. Use upper italics (P 0.048). For all P values include the exact value and not less than 0.05 or 0.001. Mean differences in continuous variables, proportions in categorical variables and relative risks including odds ratios and hazard ratios should be accompanied by their confidence intervals.
Results: Present your results in a logical sequence in the text, tables, and illustrations, giving the main or most important findings first. Do not repeat in the text all the data in the tables or illustrations; emphasize or summarize only important observations. Extra- or supplementary materials and technical detail can be placed in an appendix where it will be accessible but will not interrupt the flow of the text; alternatively, it can be published only in the electronic version of the journal.
When data are summarized in the Results section, give numeric results not only as derivatives (for example, percentages) but also as the absolute numbers from which the derivatives were calculated, and specify the statistical methods used to analyze them. Restrict tables and figures to those needed to explain the argument of the paper and to assess its support. Use graphs as an alternative to tables with many entries; do not duplicate data in graphs and tables. Where scientifically appropriate, analyses of the data by variables such as age and sex should be included.
Discussion: Include summary of key findings (primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, results as they relate to a prior hypothesis); Strengths and limitations of the study (study question, study design, data collection, analysis and interpretation); Interpretation and implications in the context of the totality of evidence (is there a systematic review to refer to, if not, could one be reasonably done here and now?, what this study adds to the available evidence, effects on patient care and health policy, possible mechanisms); Controversies raised by this study; and Future research directions (for this particular research collaboration, underlying mechanisms, clinical research).
Do not repeat in detail data or other material given in the Introduction or the Results section. In particular, contributors should avoid making statements on economic benefits and costs unless their manuscript includes economic data and analyses. Avoid claiming priority and alluding to work that has not been completed. New hypotheses may be stated if needed, however they should be clearly labeled as such. About 30 references can be included. These articles generally should not have more than six authors.

How can the courts help me?
The courts can provide general information of a rather formal nature. For instance, we can explain how you should complete a summons application and generally describe how legal proceedings are handled.
The courts provide information about cases and matters if a request is so clearly specified that it is easy for us to find the information. If special research is required to find it, the person who wishes to have the information must usually look in the archives her/himself.
What the courts do not do
The courts do not give legal advice. You should refer to an advokat office (attorney's office) if you wish to have, for instance, advice on how proceedings should be dealt with from the legal perspective.
As it is important that the courts are objective and impartial, we do not provide information about how legal rules should be applied in an individual case.
Principle of public access to information
The principle of public access means that the general public and the media are guaranteed insight into the activities of central government and the municipal authorities.
This means that:
everyone - Swedish and foreign citizens alike - are entitled to read the authorities' public documents to the extent the documents are not classified (secret).
officials and other people who work for central government or the municipal authorities have the right to tell outside parties what they know to the extent they are not limited by any confidentiality obligation.
officials also have special freedom to provide information to the media.
court proceedings are open to the public.
What is an official document?
A document is official if it is held by a public authority and, according to special rules, is considered to have been received or drawn up there. The document may be an ordinary paper document, or it may just as well be a written or pictorial matter or recording which can only be read, listened to or otherwise comprehended using technical aids.

Stone Town Tour, Zanzibar
Category: Vacations
We weren’t sure who was going to pick us up to drive us to the airport for our flight to Zanzibar but we were delighted to see Shange again! I really do think he grew to like us a lot, evident by his big hug for me when he saw us. On the drive to to the airport we finally got to see Kilimanjaro cloud free for the first time from the valley. It was hard to believe that 6 days earlier we had been at the top! My chest still remembered though!
JRO was a much nicer airport than the wing of the Ethiopian airlines we flew through. Emily and I got through security quick but Eric got stopped because he had forgotten he had 2 large bottles of sunscreen in his carry-on. Whoops! The flight to Zanzibar was very quick and before we knew it we were departing the plane into some of the hottest weather I had ever felt! Once we found all our bags we headed off to meet our driver who took us the 30 minutes to Stone town in a van that was thankfully air-conditioned just enough. We had scheduled all our activities on the island through a company called Eco & Culture Tours that Stacy had recommended to us.
When we arrived in Stone town we could see how busy it was on a Saturday. Our driver didn’t know much English so when we departed the van we had no idea it would be another 5-6 blocks through busy streets to the Emerson Spice where we would stay for two nights in Stone Town, a World Heritage Site. We were given juice when we arrived (weird tasting grape juice I think) and then shown our room, called Aida, in the hotel which is a beautifully restored 19th century Swahili sultan's palace. Our room was amazing, with art painted on the wall, stained glass windows, an upper loft up a steep spiral staircase where Eric slept, and a rear veranda above a garden. Plus… wait for it…. AIR CONDITIONING!!!!!
We relaxed in the hotel until around 2pm when our guide came to pick us up for our Stone Town Tour. Our guide, I forget his name, took us on a walking tour of historic Stone Town. I brought the GoPro to capture wide angle shots of the tight streets and he assured me that it was ok to film and take pictures as went along as I didn’t want to offend anyone. It was super hot and the streets were packed with people zooming by us within inches on bikes and cars trying to push their way through packed crowds. We never got harassed or anything by anyone but the scene was a bit too chaotic for me and I just didn’t get the warm fuzzy feeling here in Muslim dominated Zanzibar that I got on mainland Tanzania. Emily also had to wear long pants and long sleeves that covered her shoulders to respect the Muslim culture. As I said… nothing negative happened… just not my scene.
The tour was fairly short from 2-4:30pm. We first walked through all the produce stands with all the fruit and spices you could ever imagine and then through the seafood and meat buildings which smelled worse than anything you could imagine. Some guidebooks said to peruse and buy while others warned all tourists away as there was no way of knowing how long the seafood was sitting out in the 95-100 degree weather. We played it safe and just took photos. We were also told not to eat any fruit that didn’t have a peel to take off first.
We then toured the incredible Anglican Christ Church Cathedral. Up to then we had been pretty unimpressed by our guide but here he shined, describing us the long history of how the island used to be center point for the entire East African Slave Trade and how Dr. Livingstone fought his whole life to eventually stop the trafficking of slaves through the island. The church was built by a colleague and friend of his whom is also buried behind the alter. The alter itself has a round circle in the red/rouge stone representing the whipping post and blood from slaves that used to be at the location during darker times.
We were told that slaves were brought to this location and whipped to assess their “worth” and then brought out back to pits where they were chained by the neck or to dark 4-5 tall holding “dungeon” slave chambers where many died from starvation or disease. It was haunting hearing the bloody, horrible history of the island. Walking out and seeing the stone representations of slaves in pits with the actual chains that used to lock living human beings was humbling. Going down into the slave chambers was even more horrifying. It is a history that would definitely like to read more about, especially Dr. Livingstone. It also makes me wonder why after such harsh lessons were learned from the slave trade why women aren’t afforded more rights in Muslim culture.
After the church and slave chambers we passed by the Freddie Mercury House. He of course, was the lead singer of Queen and having been born on Zanzibar was pretty famous to the island. We also passed through a large square of people that were watching a soccer game on a flat screen in the corner. Along the way Emily was snapping photo after photo of the amazing doors of Stone Town which are world famous. Each one has designing influences from around the world, but mostly from India and the Middle East. Some of them were incredibly detailed and others had massive spikes sticking out of them. It was really an interesting area with rich history but I would have liked it more with half the people and about 20 degrees cooler.
After passing through many more streets and checking out a ton of vendors selling African Art we arrived at the Old Fort of Stone Town which is the oldest structure on the island. There wasn’t much to it except the structural ruins of it with vendors selling stuff inside where there was also a large open space for people to relax/picnic in. After exiting the fort we were shown the “House of Wonders” building which is the largest and tallest building on the island that used to be an Arabian Palace. It had been pretty torn up by high winds and rain and looked a bit beat up but our guide explained it was the first place on the island to get electricity, tv, internet, a computer, etc etc, hence the iconic name it was given.
On the waterfront, far from our lodging our guide announced pretty abruptly that the tour was over. We had just wandered through a huge maze of streets and had no idea where to head. He gave us some vague instructions then headed on his way. Before heading back we decided to relax on the waterfront and get a beer and appetizer at the “Floating Restaurant” which appeared to be the only legit looking place to eat. We grabbed some beers and Eric and I ordered shrimp cocktails with the limited funds we had on us. What came was about 3-4 small bay shrimp drowned in what appeared to be thousand island dressing over lettuce. Funny, if it wasn’t for the fact that appetizer I believe was the root cause of ruining the following day for me!
While sitting at the restaurant we watched as an Asian man was fishing off the restaurant pier a few feet from his table (apparently totally fine to do..). I jokingly brought over a plate to him and before I knew it he brought over a big angel fish on a plate and put it in front of Emily! Ha! We took a couple quick photos before I rushed it back into the ocean where I saw it swim away thankfully.
That night we ate dinner at the Tea Room at the top level of the Emerson Spice. We chose to splurge on the expensive 5-course meal and it was worth it. Not a ton of food but it was so wonderfully tasty and the experience of eating up there was amazing. As we sipped beers waiting for each course we listening to the traditional evening muslim call to prayer being blasted out over loud speakers throughout Stone Town. We could also see other very pretty rooftop restaurants and bars around us.
In the distance we could also see the bright lights of a soccer stadium that must have have been hosting a match. Thankfully, as we ate the temperature began to drop a little bit but it was still amazing when we got back to our room, unlocked the padlocked door and found the AC had cooled the room perfectly. Slept like a baby that night!

Damita Flim Flams Flynn
Marriage Makes News Around the Globe
Evening Herald Express
Flim Flam with Sidney Skolsky
Lili Damita and Errol Flynn have made plans to elope to Yuma this week.
Lili Damita, Errol Flynn Flying to Yuma to Wed
It took a handsome Irish actor, Errol Flynn, to lead the elusive Lili Damita, vivacious French film actress to the altar.
At least the couple took off at a Los Angeles airport in a black and yellow “monoplane of romance” and headed in the general direction of Yuma, Ariz., with the announcement that they would be married at a civil ceremony there.
“I’ve been engaged four times, but this is my first marriage,” the actress said. “But our honeymoon will have to wait. Errol has to take some film tests and so do I.”
The plane was piloted by Ted Brown. Bud Ernst, friend of the couple, who had planned to take Lyda Roberti to Yuma also for a double wedding, accompanied them, although his fiance had to stay behind. An unromantic studio called her to work and sent her out on location.*
* Ernst & Roberti & took the flight and tied the knot a few days later:

Girls Basketball: Strathmore Spartan sophomore continues to chase down history
Posted by: Patrick Dillon Posted date: February 06, 2019 In: Sports | comment :
Jazmine Soto closing in on 1,500 career points as Strathmore remains in second place in East Sequoia League after 68-25 win over Farmersville
By Patrick Dillon @PDillon_SGN
STRATHMORE – Jazmine Soto has proved she is much more than a one-year wonder as she continues to put up big numbers for the Spartans.
The sophomore point-guard took a big step toward closing in on 1,500 career points by scoring 27 points last Thursday during a 68-25 rout of the Farmersville Aztecs.
“She has gotten stronger this season,” Strathmore head coach Richard Miranda said. “She has all the athletic ability she needs”
Soto’s current career points are 1,391 which has kept her on track to break the central sections all-time scoring record of 2,938 points set by Nikki Blue from West Bakersfield (1999-2002). Although, that record might be Soto’s end goal, barring any setbacks, it still won’t be achievable until sometime during her senior season.
A record which could fall to Soto some time next season is Strathmore’s girls’ basketball school record and happens to be the county record as well. Devin Della (1993-1997) set both records by scoring 2,254 career points for the Spartans.
Miranda knows that every record is within Soto’s grasp, but in order to realize these milestones there are still a couple areas of the game Soto needs to get better. During her freshman season she made a name for herself driving toward the basket, but now teams are expecting that and setting up defenses to stop her. That is why Miranda and Soto got started early last spring in improving her outside shot and free throws.
“Soto has grown in that she now understands that she needs to attack the game in a different way,” Miranda said.
Soto is shooting 31% from beyond the arch, and has only made 157 of 265 shots from the free throw line. Both stats are an improvement over her freshman season, but the free throw line is the one which is concerning. Her number should be up around 70 percent according to Miranda.
When Soto crosses over the 2,000-point barrier she’ll be just the sixth girls basketball player in Tulare County history to do so. If she keeps up her 25 points per game average, she’ll accomplish that feat some time next season before league starts. One member on that list is ex-Cardinal standout Christina Castro (2010-2014) who scored 2,187 points.
Soto’s mindset has never been solely on breaking records, but the continued success of the team (21-6). Coach Miranda is also working on Soto’s mental awareness and know when to get her teammates involved.
In the first half against the Aztecs (6-17, 1-9), Soto stole the ball at half court and instead of cutting to the basket she passed the ball to Kaija Ambriz who had a better lane on the other side of the key. Her layup made the score 28-2 at the end of the first quarter.
In all, seven Spartans scored with three ending the game with double digits including Erika Munoz. The freshmen made a couple crucial three-point shots in the second quarter to finish with 10 points. This is only the third time she has scored in double-digits this season.
“She can shoot the ball, and right now that is her specialty,” Miranda said.
Strathmore is currently in second place in the ESL, and looks to remain there entering the final week. Tonight, they host the Lindsay Cardinals at 6:30 p.m.

The Adventures Of Retrobot
Android, iPad, iPhone review by Ashley Wilkinson on September 22, 2012
The current mainstreaming of geek culture has given rise to a generation of comic aficionados and dedicated gamers, with both industries reaping the inevitable profits that stem from such fervent fan-bases. So popular are comics and videogames in this day and age that it is a surprise to see that no developer has thought to merge the two together since Ubisoft’s half-hearted effort XIII in 2003.
Endeavor Bros. and Monkube are looking to fill that void with The Adventures of Retrobot on iOS, which they describe as “a fusion between game and comic”. Chronicling the quest of a videogame-obsessed DIY robot named Retrobot as he battles waves of enemies to rescue his creator, The Adventures of Retrobot is a side-scrolling shooter that plays like a perfect blend of Space Invaders and R-Type. The “fusion” described by the game’s creators is seen in the narrative, which is told through a series of moving comic book panels between each level.
It’s a simple concept but one that works surprisingly well thanks to the engaging story and an appealing lead character in Retrobot, who not only feels well-rounded but also comes out with some genuinely hilarious one-liners. Each cut-scene is vibrant, superbly detailed, beautifully rendered and contains subtle but affectionate nods to videogames past and present. The background music is also striking, an assortment of orchestral and industrial melodies rivalling some of the best soundtracks on the top game consoles.
Unfortunately the actual gameplay isn’t quite as appealing as the extraordinary visuals and sound. The Adventures of Retrobot is excessively difficult with masses of enemies invading the screen and blasting your gold-plated hero out of his tyre treads from the very first level. Manoeuvring Retrobot to avoid the deluge of bullets and lasers heading his way is difficult due to the cumbersome controls, which comprise of two sliding scales at the bottom of the screen, one for moving Retrobot left and right and one to fire his arm-mounted cannon.
Retrobot lacks the ability to jump or crouch, meaning the only way to avoid being turned into a mash of metal and wires is to move across-screen and grab the very occasional health pick-up from a downed enemy. A boss awaits you at the end of each level (if your patience stretches that far) and each one is challenging in its own right, but the core gameplay doesn’t change beyond moving Retrobot left and right and bullet-spamming the sky, relying heavily on luck as you advance.
A few simple edits to the game mechanics may have helped; replacing the “analogue slider” controls with simple left-and-right arrow buttons could have reduced the frustration in moving your lumbering hero across the screen whilst hitting enemies would be much simpler if you could just press exactly where you wanted to aim your cannons. Adding those missing jump or crouch buttons would have also helped alleviate a certain amount of frustration at just how sluggishly your automaton travels.
None of this is to say that all the fun has been taken out of the game. The Adventures of Retrobot can still be an enjoyable experience, even if it is extraordinarily difficult. If you time your moves and attacks right there is an undeniably satisfying feeling to seeing Retrobot emerge from the chaos unscathed and ready to move on to the next level, you just have to be prepared that, not unlike Dark Souls, there are a lot of “Game Over” screens to view before you finish each level.
The Adventures of Retrobot is a brave attempt to merge the ever-popular videogame and comic book worlds but frustratingly it falls well short. Clearly a lot of love and effort has gone into making this game and both Endeavor Bros. and Monkube should be applauded for creating one of the best-looking and most endearing games on the casual market, but the fundamental gameplay issues cannot be ignored. The Adventures of Retrobot is a frustrating title, one that carries so much potential but the ridiculous difficulty level and cumbersome controls ruin what could and should have been one of the best games on iOS.

The collective brains of game show fandom have been wracking their brains to recall this fine piece of Smitty gameshowia, so be grateful for what you're getting. So what do we remember? Celebs are teamed up with pro drivers to perform a number of different driving tests: a "hot hatch" speed circuit, something to do with reversing a trailer into some traffic cones, a tank/duck military vehicle test, and a skidpan round. Rather than being a proper series, it was an annual event.
In 1988 they held it, somewhat anachronistically, in Isola 2000 (the upgrade to Isola 98) in the French Alps for a snow-themed edition where skidoos, piste bashers and finally snow-chains lay in wait for the likes of Derek Warwick, Pat Jennings, Dave Thorpe, Toyah Willcox, Louise Aitken-Walker, Peter Howitt, John Watson and, natch, Lennie Bennett. This one was broadcast at Christmas rather than in the traditional Easter slot.
The 1990 edition was called "Driving Force Down Under" and featured Australian celebrities Rebecca Gibney, Ross Dunkerton, Peter O'Brien, Peter Brock and others alongside Martin Donnelly and Barry Sheene.
The first event was sponsored by Multipart and the next three by Sealink. Shell sponsored the 1988 and 1989 events, and probably 1990 as well.

DOCTOR WHO Pure Historical's - THE REIGN OF TERROR
. at Thursday, May 22, 2014
Christopher Morley guides us through another pure historical story from Doctor Who. This week it's the tale of French peasant Jean Valjean, and his quest for redemption...no that's not right, my mistake - it's the First Doctor adventure, The Reign Of Terror.
Bonjour, chums! Ca va? We've reached what's quickly established as the First Doctor's favourite period of history - the French Revolution. Serving as the final story of the first season of Who, Susan, her dear grandfather, Ian & Barbara are in for a treat when they step from the TARDIS.
Tres bon, you might say. By the time they actually materialise (1794) the whole thing's been in full swing a little while as our cross-channel cousins make the move from monarchy to republic, and won't fully conclude until around six years after the crew's visit.
Pour yourself a glass of the finest champagne (or any other produce of the country's wine regions for that matter), then, & settle in...we're not on the Sense-Sphere any more.
While he knows that, the Doctor appears to believe that he's managed to return Mr Chesterton & Miss Wright to the 1960s, free to resume their careers at Coal Hill School, or if all else fails come up with a decent excuse for the massive gaps in their respective CV's should the board of governors have actually noticed they'd been away in the first place.
But to more pressing matters - they're actually about 100 miles from London, as it happens. Bit of an oversight there.
In an admirable show of good old British pluck they decide to make the best of it after Ian interrogates a young lad to learn when & where they are, & go exploring. Ignoring the first rule of such matters (don't go into an abandoned house) they, er, go in anyway.
If nothing else it allows the First's three friends to work out once & for all that he's rather overshot his calculations, unless they've barged in on a historical re-enactment buff's abode.
But how would such a person have papers supposedly signed by Robespierre himself? Something just might be amiss here. For a start, the papers aren't the genuine article. They've stumbled into the heart of the opposition! Some very lucky people might just be about to escape the kiss of Madame Guillotine...
Taking some of the clothes to aid them in blending in as well as achieve the Doctor's dream of a fully accurate future production of Les Miserables, things almost inevitably go to pot. The idea to split up seemed a great plan at the time....until the Doctor got himself captured by the children of the Revolution.
His companions quickly do little to endear themselves to their captors, who are rather handily killed off by some loyalist types thanks to the cowardice of one, D'Argenson- who wrongly believes that surrendering will spare him a quick & nasty death.
His colleague Rouvray quickly makes the misguided choice to join him, & both rapidly meet the Reaper rather earlier than they'd have liked.
Unluckily for our time-travelling friends - still without the Doctor - it appears they will too after being told they're being marched back to Paris & sentenced to death. As if that weren't nasty enough the troops set fire to what had probably been quite a nice farmhouse, with the Doctor still inside.
Could we be about to meet a certain Beatle cut fan ahead of schedule? The roof's falling in, so it looks odds-on that the Second Doctor is to be born in fire. Recorders at the ready! It's not looking any better for his friends once they reach the capital, either. Separated & imprisoned, its all gone Pete Tong.
Or has it? Happily for the TARDIS team a certain young chap remembers them, and takes it upon himself to save the First the trouble of regenerating - at least until after a maiden tangle with the Cybermen. Armed with the knowledge that his pals are languishing as lags in the capital, he sets off on a daring rescue mission- presumably resisting the urge to at least whistle the likes of I Dreamed A Dream & Master Of The House as he goes about his business.
While he's giving his musical chops an airing, though, escape is on Barbara's mind even if she has to do things quite literally brick by brick, & Ian makes a new friend who adds a new layer of intrigue. His cell-mate, Webster, has come all the way across the Channel in search of a certain James Sterling - a British government man, who has information which could be useful should Blighty declare war on the French.
So far, so Napoleonic. But just when it seems everything's starting to make sense, throw in the fact that Jimbo's been right under their nose the whole time! Sometimes literally, too, as he's undercover as the prison governor (known to all as Lemaitre), and eventually brings things to a head by allowing Ian to escape & make good on a promise to the dying Webster to find him and pass on a message. What of the Doctor by now?
He's still en route to gay Paree, but has somehow managed to get himself tangled up in a chain gang. The ideal opportunity for a group singalong, you'd think. But before he can lead them in renditions of the likes of One Day More, he hits on an idea so crazy it just might work to win their freedom.
Devising the elaborate bluff that an eclipse is imminent, he persuades the sadistic leader of the ensemble to look toward the Sun, resorting to stealing money, passing it off as buried treasure & whacking him over the head when the chap's greed gets the better of him & he takes over the arduous digging that had so recently been exclusively a prisoner's preserve.
With that he's well on his way. Susan & Barbara are by this point hoping he hurries up, having been told that they're next for the chop & not wanting to greet him in the entirely unladylike state of headlessness. To make matters even worse they have to pass Ian's cell en route to the death wagon- could their day possibly go further downhill?
At least the Doctor is on his way, most likely intending to have words with Javert or whoever runs the prison...which his granddaughter & at least one of his companions now seem to be leaving in the worst possible way.
Before they can be added to the already alarmingly high body count of the Revolution as a whole (including King Louis XVI & his queen, Marie Antoinette, who were quickly deposed then executed once the constitutional monarchy had been abolished), though, the wagon is mercifully quickly hijacked by Jules & Jean, counter-revolutionaries extraordinaire.
Now, remember 'Lemaitre' helping Ian in his escape attempt? We're coming to it! A hastily forgotten about set of keys enables the science teacher to start planning his shimmy out of the slammer, a thoroughly inebriated jailer making things a lot easier.
If you remember Mr Benn, the Doctor's next move should appeal. Stumbling across a clothes shop & swapping his current garb for that of an Officer of the Provinces, allowing him free access to the jail, he's quickly away. Our counter-revolutionary friends have spirited Susan and Barbara off to their safe house - an ironic designation given that there's a traitor in their midst who's been giving away their not so secret locations!
Oh, and Barbara might just be about to get some romantic attention from a Mr Leon Colbert, more of whom later. He's not exactly what he seems..but then, who is at a time like this, you could conceivably argue. Such things are what History degrees are made of.
Back to the point, though- the Doctor's finally made it to the prison after what feels like an age, and probably is as he's not getting any younger. You could forgive him for harrumphing, turning on his heels, going back to the old police box & dematerialising there & then, perhaps.
But the old boy just can't do so, and quickly gets called off to a meeting with the dastardly Robespierre himself - who doesn't disappoint on the villainy scale. Every other word seems to be about quickening the pace at which poor suckers get their heads lopped off - our Time Lord pal's probably too nervous at the prospect of a quick change of body to take in anything the despot says.
But it turns out Leon actually likes him, so his Second incarnation really will have to wait. Every tiny strand of the whole plot works itself out - with the added caveat that Robespierre's being played like a fiddle, leaving the way clear for one Napoleon Bonaparte to take over & begin a reign which would see him go from second lieutenant in the French army to Emperor of the entire country.
Of course, history must be allowed to proceed in such a manner - the surviving revolutionaries lying low, Sterling making his way back to England, and the Doctor, Susan, Ian & Barbara left to go back to the TARDIS & start work on that Les Mis production........

What a Concept!
Friday, December 29, 2006 at 08:08PM
From The Sydney Morning Herald - "Holden's concept car is off to Detroit - to sweeten a deal to export the Commodore to the US, reports JOSHUA DOWLING.
Holden's Efijy concept car - the star of the 2005 Sydney motor show - is heading to the United States to take centre stage on General Motors' display at next month's Detroit motor show.
The 21st-century hot-rod, which was built by Holden designers in their spare time, is powered by a 6.0-litre V8 that is 11 times more powerful than the original 1953 FJ Holden on which it is loosely based.
It is not destined for production but is being sent to Detroit to display General Motors' global design expertise - and as a bit of a tease.
Holden is in the final stages of negotiating with its US parent company to export the Commodore SS there as a Pontiac sports sedan. A decision is due in the next few months.
The hope is the Efijy will show Americans that Australian car designers have diverse skills, from designing fleet sedans to sports sedans.
Displaying the Efijy at one of the world's biggest motor shows is regarded as a great compliment to Holden's Australian-based design team.
The Efijy would not have been built if it weren't for the designers' efforts and the generosity of suppliers who donated most of the high-tech parts and instruments.
The Efijy is the brainchild of Holden designer Richard Ferlazzo, who had wanted to build a hot-rod-style concept since he first penned one in a moment of inspiration in 1989. "When I started at Holden, when I saw what materials and technology the company had access to, I thought, 'Gee, imagine what sort of a hot-rod you could build with all this high-tech gear,' " he told Drive at the car's unveiling in October 2005.
The Efijy was originally going to be built to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the FJ in 2003 but was delayed by other projects. Its supercharged 6.0-litre HSV engine produces 480kW of power and 775Nm of torque.
The car is based on the stretched and widened underpinnings of a C5 Corvette. "The electrical engineering guys had a Corvette that was about to be scrapped, so we asked if we could use its underpinnings for the show car," Ferlazzo says.
The Efijy is almost as long as a Statesman and as wide as a Hummer and yet has a lower roofline than a Monaro. It can be driven but only at low speeds because the Soprano Purple bodywork is made of fibreglass.
More than 20 suppliers and designers donated time, parts and expertise to build the car over 12 months at a cost of $200,000. However, if it were to be built again from scratch - and if the parts and labour had to be paid for - Holden estimates it would cost $1.5 million.
Inside, the original FJ's humble valve radio has been replaced by a touch-screen display. Buttons on the centre console, which control the four-speed auto transmission, replace the three-on-the-tree gearshift from 1953.
Ferlazzo says the car is all about fun. "It makes people smile. This is a tribute to what can be achieved with today's technology. Imagine what designers could have done in the 1950s if they had today's technology available to them.
"At the end of the day, we're all car nuts. We spend our days working on sensible and practical cars. Sometimes you've got to have a bit of fun."

6 litres Supercharged Chevy CorvetteFriday October 14
The EFIJY Concept car unveiled today by General Motors Holden at the Australian International Motor Show. A contemporary interpretation of the iconic FJ Holden of 1953. Packs a 6 Litre Supercharged Chevrolet Corvette V8 producing performance to match a V8 Supercar. The body is in fibreglass so no-one is game enough to see what it can do. Nice lines huh?

An Effigy of the FJ
When two of its domestic rivals are releasing new vehicles in the form of the Mitsubishi 380 and BF Ford Falcon, what's GM Holden to do in order to attract a show goer's attention?
Create a concept that eclipses even the dramatics of the much-loved Torana TT36 concept? Dead right.
The new EFIJY is a brilliant example of Aussie car design and component implementation, powered by a ridiculously powerful blown V8, with air suspension, 22-inch rear wheels, a touch screen interface and plenty of advanced LED lighting.
Development of the hotrod design was to be completed in 2003, to celebrate the FJ's 50th birthday, but only got as far as clay models after it was decided the Torana TT36 would be fully developed for the 2004 AIMS.
The Holden money men gave the project the green light earlier this year, giving the design team led by Ferlazzo about eight months to bring the project together. "EFIJY has been a real labour of love for everyone involved and it shows in the way it feels. It gave us a unique opportunity to showcase Holden’s creative abilities," said Ferlazzo, "and those of some of our key partners, in a way which will appeal to a broader audience."
And appeal it will. The car is huge, hitting you square between the eyes with its sheer immensity, while the retro hotrod design combined with modern componentry combines for what is arguably one of Holden's slickest projects ever.
"It’s been a long road to bring this to reality," continued Ferlazzo, "and the perfect time to do it before we pull the covers off our new Commodore range [in 2006]. We’re pretty sure that an Australian motor show has never seen anything like EFIJY from a local carmaker before," said Ferlazzo. And methinks he could be quite right.

GM Holden's headline act at the 2005 Australian International Motor Show in Sydney was a blast from the past, albeit one with enough technology - and raw power - under the skin to send shivers up the backs of the most modern sports cars.
Holden calls the EFIJY a radical pillarless custom coupe boasting V8 Supercar power under the bonnet, a Chevrolet Corvette underbody and state-of-the-art automotive technology throughout.
And it's not lacking for power either, kitted out with an LS2 6.0-litre V8, complete with a roots-type supercharger that ups power and torque to supercar levels. Peak power is 480kW or 645hp @ 6400rpm, while 775Nm (560 ft.lb) of gut-wrenching torque is produced at the crankshaft, delivered to the rear wheels via a 4-speed auto @ 4200rpm.
Holden explains that the 6.0-litre LS2 V8 engine has been supercharged and modified by Ron Harrop, well known throughout the Australian automotive and motorsport industry and an ex-FJ Holden racer.
Driven by a roots-type supercharger and with a compression ratio of 10.9:1, the engine delivers peak power of 480kW and 775Nm, giving it performance figures equal to the stated output from 2005 Series V8 Supercars that recently raced around Bathurst, and almost 11 times greater than the 45kW (60 horsepower) powertrain offered in the 1953 FJ Holden!
The EFIJY's engine is mated to a rear-mounted 4-speed automatic transmission featuring push button electronic control, while a limited slip differential has been fitted for obvious reasons.
A custom designed exhaust system was also fashioned for the mammoth car: a stainless steel 2.5-inch dual system with customised compact headers and billet aluminium exhaust tips.
The power output is transferred to massive 22 × 10-inch billet aluminium wheels with fluting which echoes the FJ’s more modest original 15-inch x 4-inch wheels. Reflecting its street sled heritage, the front wheels are 20-inch x 9-inch.
The brakes feature 381mm (15-inch) grooved and ventilated rotors front and rear, combined with big 6-pot aluminium calipers at the front and 4-piston calipers at the rear.
With insane amounts of power to match it's arresting retro looks, Holden's new showcar will be a must-see for the Holden faithful, and perhaps even some intrigued Ford fans. Finished in ‘Soprano Purple’ paintwork, Holden says this highlights its curvaceous 5.2-metre body, reinterpreting the classic design cues of the iconic 1953 FJ Holden.
GM Holden has stated that the EFIJY is not intended for production, but has been a passionate side project for some Holden Design team members otherwise dedicated to creating the all-new 2006 VE Commodore. A long-term dream for chief designer Richard Ferlazzo, EFIJY brought together almost 20 suppliers to highlight the latest in mechanical, electronic and material products and ideas.
Automotive excess pounds through the concept's almost 500 kilowatt, supercharged V8 engine and air adjustable shock absorbers through to a touch control LCD screen and fan-cooled LED headlamps show what Australian minds are capable of.
Holden's new chief designer and the EFIJY project leader, Richard Ferlazzo, who sketched the first EFIJY designs in 1989 and is a long-time custom car fanatic, said the car existed purely for automotive entertainment.
"Invariably, people smile when they see it for the first time. EFIJY is our accolade to the talented designers who cut loose with some fantastically flamboyant styling in the post-war 1940s and 1950s," Ferlazzo said.
"Ask the question, ‘what would these people have created using all the skill sets and technology we have now’, and EFIJY might be the all-Australian answer to that question.
"EFIJY is also aimed at the legions of custom car and hot rod enthusiasts out there whose appetites aren’t generally met in the concept car arena," enthused Ferlazzo.
"Most importantly, it sends the message that the same people who have sensible day jobs designing entirely practical cars have the passion and inspiration to create something as outrageous as EFIJY. We're all car nuts together and the fact that EFIJY stands on our Sydney Motorshow stand goes some way to legitimising this form of automotive design in the mainstream," stated Ferlazzo.
Holden says that the design team cleverly incorporated FJ design cues into EFIJY's radical custom coupe body, acknowledging the most important aspects of the iconic 1953 release. The famously familiar FJ grille looms larger than life, fronting a low, wide and handsome body extravagantly elongated and brimming with retro chic style.
The Corvette rolling chassis was lengthened to accommodate the long EFIJY body, which is more than 700 millimetres longer than the FJ by which it was inspired. The Soprano Purple paint has multiple layers of translucent pigmented topcoats which creates the rich, deep effect, and looks sensational under the Sydney motor show's bright lights.
Holden says that all the brightwork on the vehicle is handmade billet aluminium to maximise its authentic look, nowhere more evident than the stunning grill salute to FJ's distinctive front.
Testament to Holden's adoption of the latest technology and its implementation, a proximity sensor opens the door automatically as the driver approaches, revealing deep cream leather twin tombstone-shaped seats equipped with integral belts. There's even a drop-down, touch control LCD screen and an instrument cluster glowing with the number ‘53’– another FJ gesture – set in the body-coloured metal dash that pulsates with a radiogram retro orange glow.
The EFIJY's prowling appearance can be accentuated by the air-adjustable suspension. At the touch an LCD screen, the ominous-looking automobile can hunker down to just 27 millimetres from the ground (it's current motor show level) or rise to a more practical drive height of up to 139mm ground clearance.
Measuring 5162mm long and almost 2 metres wide (1999mm), the EFIJY's dominating glass fibre bodyshell is enhanced by the use of LED headlights and tail lights, as well as courtesy lamps and sill plate illumination lamps inside the custom coupe.
Holden says that several of these LED lights are dual filament, allowing them to throw different colours depending on the application, and like any great showcar, the EFIJY is stocked with a cutting edge entertainment system featuring hard drive audio and video storage driven through a major amplifier and speaker setup (2000W amplifier, 1000W RMS subwoofer, two x 200W RMS mid-bass, two x 100W RMS split mid-range and two x 100W RMS directional tweeters).
GM Holden Chairman and Managing Director, Denny Mooney, said the EFIJY project was a bold statement on the creative talent available within Holden’s design ranks. Mr Mooney said the project was developed as a collaboration with suppliers which reduced impact on the company’s heavy work schedule and ensured the highest possible quality result for the showcar.
"EFIJY is all about fun, emotion and imagination. It shows what a bunch of clever and talented design people can do when they are let loose to create something really wild," Mr Mooney said. "This year was a fantastic opportunity for us to create something which highlights our designers’ ability and versatility. EFIJY is sure to evoke different memories for everyone who sees it. People might focus on the FJ links, the glorious custom coupes of the 1930s or the great design flair of the 1950s."

This car is a 1955 Holden Special four door sedan.
The design of this car reflects car fashion of the time. It is large, with rounded bulbous bodylines and was designed to project an aerodynamic modern look. The 'Special' was Holden's first luxury car. The chromed grill at the front is a design feature. Compared to modern cars there are surprisingly few dials and controls. The dashboard is made of bakelite, an early form of plastic, and there is a lot of chrome plating details. The bench style seats are upholstered in red leather, complementing the grey body.

integral frame 2616 mm wheel base
steering: worm and sector mechanism
front suspension is independent coil with control arms and lever type shock absorbers; semi-elliptical leaf springs and telescopic shock absorbers at the rear
The FJ Holden is an Australian icon because it represents the typical family car of the 1950s at a time when car ownership was becoming a realistic ambition for many Australian families. The FJ Holden was the most popular and successful car of its time. Wholly Australian manufactured, over 200 cars were built per week, approximately 170,000 in total.
The FJ quickly entered into popular culture as a symbol of family values, enjoyment, stability and the pleasures and freedom of the open road. There are many songs, films, and stories that feature an FJ Holden!
Holdens were first manufactured in Victoria, Australia in 1948, with export beginning in the 1950s.
The Powerhouse Museum collection features an extensive range of transport objects, many of which are on permanent display.

natural growth (chronology)
cross pollination (categories)
wild growth (highlighted)
In summer 2016 Huize Frankendael and artist Edward Clydesdale Thomson started the two-year collaborative project wild care, tame neglect. For two years Thomson will embed his artistic practice in the last remaining 17th-century country house in Amsterdam researching the paradoxes of nature that abound in this cultural heritage. Within the context of the Frankendael, Thomson will cultivate his daily working environment starting with a temporary studio in the garden from where he will realise artistic interventions, new artworks addressing the surroundings, a public program of workshops and lectures, an exhibition and a performance. Within this fluid programme there is the possibility for everything to bloom and decay with the seasons. Every aspect of Thomson’s activities can be followed closely within the public sphere of this historical venue that has been both lake, mansion and city nursery.
The core of wild care, tame neglect is the long-term relationship that Frankendael and Thomson cultivate. Rarely will or can a cultural institution and artist develop an intensive, two-year cooperation. This cooperation is an experimental model for artistic production. What are the mutual expectations and possibilities? What are the practical and substantive requirements, goals and aspirations in which an artwork can come about? How is a work of art shaped by the conditions of its production? The cross-pollination between Frankendael and Thomson could be so different at the heights of summer or the depths of winter. With wild care, tame neglect, Frankendael offers an artist the unique opportunity to use this historic location both as a laboratory and exhibition space and Thomson offers the institution the possibility to explore the identity of its surroundings. Historical and contemporary notions of nature and culture, work and leisure collide in Frankendael. The house was built as a country house for the 17th-century bourgeoisie, a sign of entrepreneurship, wealth and privileges and all that entails. On the other hand Frankendael is now used as a restaurant, venue for ceremonies, meetings, recreation and contemporary art.
– Edward Clydesdale Thomson
As an artist my practice is often concerned with the places and objects on the margins of outside and inside, of wild and tamed landscapes. Be that a patterned fabric, a window blind, a gate, or a washing line: objects that form a transition from the realm of domestic and personal, to the symbolic and collective.
In October 2015, at the invitation of the board of the Frankendael Foundation, I began thinking about how my artistic practice could be of relevance within the context of Huize Frankendael. The evolving artwork, wild care, tame neglect, is the manifestation of this thinking as it develops. On this website you can find an archive of that process.
The best way of experiencing the project though is to come and see. If you would like a personal tour I’d be more than happy to show you round and you can contact info@wildcaretameneglect.nl to make an appointment.
Edward Clydesdale Thomson (b. 1982) is a Scottish/Danish artist based in the Netherlands. He is a graduate of the MFA program at the Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam and the BArch program at the Glasgow school of Art. He was resident at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam (2011–12). In 2011 he was awarded the Lecturis Award and nominated for the Prix de Rome. Notable recent shows include "causa finalis" (2012), Galerie Fons Welters, Amsterdam, "Prix de Rome 2011", SMART Project Space, Amsterdam, and "Secret Gardens" (2012), TENT, Rotterdam. www.edwardthomson.net
– Huize Frankendael
Huize Frankendael is the last remaining country estate within the city Amsterdam. Build in the 18th century, the house was used by people of to enjoy friendship and nature. While the city has enclosed the country estate, the joy of pleasure still remains. House, kitchen and garden are open throughout the year for the combination of nature, gastronomy and art&culture.
Frankendael Foundation welcomes the public to the 18th-century manorial estate Huize Frankendael in Amsterdam. We disclose the house as an exhibition space for contemporary art. Inspired by the Salon-d’art, the Foundation makes art resonate throughout society by means of exhibitions, lively debates, networking and recreation both inside and outside of the estate. Frankendael Foundation merges public and private domains during various events, where artists, visitors, collectors and critics meet.
Each year several exhibitions are held in the house.

Devon Dotson's decision to stay marks return of one of Bill Self's true workhorse point guards
July 9, 2019 at 11:15 a.m.

It’s been a little more than a month since Kansas freshman Devon Dotson made the big announcement that he was returning to KU for his sophomore season.
And given just how massive that news is for the 2019-20 Kansas basketball program, it’s worth celebrating it the way junior high kids in relationships tend to celebrate their anniversaries — by the week, to the day or even on the hour would all be acceptable.
That’s how important Dotson’s return is for the Jayhawks, and one need look no further than one key stat from his freshman season to see that in crystal clear fashion.
Not counting Dotson — or Aaron Miles, who KU coach Bill Self inherited — there have been eight other players who have consistently played point guard for Self during his time at Kansas. And not one of them, as a freshman, even came close to playing the kind of minutes that Dotson did during the 2018-19 season.
Former KU great Tyshawn Taylor, a true freshman during the 2008-09 season (on a loaded team, no less), came the closest. But even he was 240 minutes shy of matching Dotson’s total of 1,168 minutes a season ago.
Using Dotson’s 2018-19 average of 32.4 minutes per game, that’s a gap of bigger than seven games.
Put in even more mind-blowing terms, Dotson played more minutes at the point during his freshman season than soon-to-be-All-Americans Frank Mason III (565) and Devonte’ Graham (517) played during theirs combined.
Here’s one more: The average number of minutes played by a freshman point guard at Kansas in the Self era is 536, with Taylor (928) and Sherron Collins (847) on the high end and Naadir Tharpe (175) and Elijah Johnson (151) on the low end.
Granted, the makeup of each roster had a lot to do with Dotson’s load and the lighter work handled by his predecessors. And, in Graham’s case, the mere presence of Mason in the class ahead of him, limited his early opportunities.
But, still. No Self-era point guards played anywhere close to the kind of role that Dotson played a season ago, a fact that merely adds to the excitement surrounding Dotson’s immediate future.
“It helps a lot, me coming in and coach believing in me and sticking with me,” Dotson recently said of the heavy workload he received as a freshman. “It helps a lot going into this year. I know what to expect, I know what it takes to win out there at a high level and I’m ready.”
I initially limited this glance to KU freshmen because that’s exactly what Dotson was a season ago. But as I kept pounding away at the keys, one thought kept creeping into my mind. Forget freshmen PGs, how many point guards period during the Self era at Kansas played those kinds of minutes for the Jayhawks?
The answer? Five players, eight times, including one during each of the previous four seasons, when Frank Mason’s minutes went up from 1,207 to 1,272 to 1,301 during his sophomore, junior and senior seasons, and Devonte’ Graham played a whopping 1,474 minutes during his stellar senior campaign.
Part of those totals have to do with games played, though. Remember, Mason’s last two seasons ended in the Elite Eight and Graham, in his lone season as KU’s only point guard, reached the Final Four.
If Dotson’s Jayhawks had played even just two more games, his total minutes for his freshman season — factoring in his average minutes per game — would have reached 1,233 and been the fifth most by a Bill Self point guard in the last 16 seasons at Kansas.
Dotson’s case is interesting because of the era in which we live. Fans across all sports constantly want to say this player is the next so and so or that player is on pace to be this guy. And while the comparisons can be fun and often are a good way to track a player’s progress, they’re not always a case of comparing apples to apples.
Take Dotson for instance. If he were to stay at Kansas for four seasons like Graham and Mason did he would be a near lock to wind up on their level. But with the smart money being on Dotson turning pro after the upcoming season, it’s hard to know if Dotson, at Kansas, will ever produce like Mason and Graham did before him. Age, maturity, experience and opportunity all played a huge role in those two becoming All-Americans.
Is Dotson ahead of where those two were as freshmen and sophomores? It sure seems like it. And the numbers certainly back that up. But how much of that is talent and how much of that is opportunity and timing?
First on the team in assists, steals and games played and seven minutes shy of tying for the team lead in minutes played, — as a true freshman, remember — Dotson inherited a monster role from Minute 1 and only saw it gain importance as his freshman season went on.
The same should be true in Year 2, and maybe then it will be easier to start stacking up Dotson against some of KU’s all-time greats.
For now, all that matters is the fact that Dotson is the best point guard on this Kansas roster and one of the best in college basketball, both of which figure to be key factors in what the Jayhawks hope will be a memorable 2019-20 season.
Here’s a quick look at the ranking of minutes played per season by the Jayhawks' primary point guard in each of Bill Self's 16 seasons at Kansas:
1 – Devonte’ Graham, 2017-18 – 1,474 (39 games)
2 – Tyshawn Taylor, 2011-12 – 1,303 (39 games)
3 – Frank Mason III, 2016-17 – 1,301 (36 games)
5 – Sherron Collins, 2008-09 – 1,229 (35 games)
8 – Devon Dotson, 2018-19 – 1,168x (36 games)
9 – Elijah Johnson, 2012-13 – 1,146 (37 games)
10 – Aaron Miles, 2003-04 – 1,117 (32 games)
11 – Russell Robinson, 2007-08 – 1,100 (40 games)
13 – Naadir Tharpe, 2013-14 – 1,001 (34 games)
14 – Aaron Miles, 2004-05 – 992 (30 games)
15 – Tyshawn Taylor, 2010-11 – 977 (36 games)
16 – Russell Robinson, 2005-06 – 910 (32 games)

Steve Quatrocky 6 days, 16 hours ago
Hats off to Devon, but part of the reason he played so much in 2018-19 was that Grimes was a bust instead of sharing minutes with the ball as originally intended. With Devon back, Grimes gone, our stable of bigs that he didnt have last year, and plenty of good guards, the sky is the limit for the Hawks this year.
Marius Rowlanski 6 days, 10 hours ago
Elijah Johnson gets a bad rap too often. In 2012, he was great as a shooting guard. Originally listed as a PG or a combo, he was forced to play EJ at the point instead. That or Tharpe.
Matt Tait 6 days, 8 hours ago
I agree. He played 1,254 minutes that season on a team that ended up in the national title game. He was a huge part of that and took one for the team to try to play PG his senior year. He did it pretty well considering he had watched Tyshawn play it for the three previous seasons.
Brian Skelly 5 days, 13 hours ago
I'll 2nd/3rd that. He was asked to do things he probably shouldn't have been asked to do. He did well considering.
And his game in Ames against the Cyclones is still one of my all time favorite Jayhawk performances.
David Robinett 5 days, 18 hours ago
Dang, I wish Devon would stay at least through his junior year. But maybe getting to the league after 2 will help us recruit other elite PGs.
Barry Weiss 5 days, 10 hours ago
wow, 32 minutes is ALOT.Hopefully that does not have to go up this year, would be nice if we could get it down to 30.
Joseph Bullock 5 days, 7 hours ago
Dotson’s minutes will decrease this season. This team has tremendous depth and talent, and not just with the ‘Bigs’! He will get a lot more rest, especially in games where we are dominating (and there will be plenty of those games)! When this season is done, people may say it was as deep (or deeper) than the 2008 team! Hopefully they will have the same results! I’m a Believer!

Her Stories
by Virginia Hamilton
Publishers Weekly Hamilton fans who have wondered what happened to Cammy Coleman after the death of her cousin Patty Ann will find the answer in this sequel to Cousins, which introduces many new members of the Coleman clan. The author's on-target dialogue and skillfully drawn characterizations compensate for the book's uneven pacing. However, some audience members (especially those unfamiliar with the novel's predecessor) may have trouble sorting out minor characters. Cammy herself feels a bit overwhelmed by the onslaught of Colemans, who arrive in her town for a reunion; she decides to call them all "second cousins." One such relative, Jahnina ("outa New York. Queens"), both fascinates and repels the 12-year-old heroine. Brimming with city smarts, computer know-how and self-confidence, 13-year-old Jahnina offers more than one form of enlightenment, and the scenes between Cammy and her are the high points of the novel. This drama reflects the day-to-day squabbles, disappointments and tensions that plague every household. More pointedly, Hamilton conveys the eternal, unshakable love that binds family members together. Ages 11-up. (Oct.)

School Library Journal Gr 5-8-In the first few chapters of this sequel to Hamilton's Cousins (Philomel, 1990), Cammy Coleman is still reacting emotionally to the tragic drowning death the previous summer of her close cousin Patty Ann. This summer's big event is the family reunion, with cousins, second cousins, third cousins, and more coming from far and wide to Cammy's small town. After a rocky start, she forms a special friendship with Jahnina, also known as Fractal, who is from New York City. (The various characters all seem to have one or more nicknames, which may create some confusion for readers.) As the girls get to know one another better and better, however, Cammy is unable to accept the true nature of their relationship-they are half sisters. Through dialect and believable actions and outcomes, Hamilton's characters spring to life. Punchy sentence fragments accurately reflect the rush of emotion felt by preadolescents as they are inevitably introduced to the complications of adulthood and family dynamics. Although the plot is thin and the tone somewhat uneven, the emotional truths are both dramatic and real. Hamilton's fans and those interested in the joys and heartaches of growing up will enjoy the extended Coleman family.-Peg Solonika, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, PA
Book list Gr. 5^-8. In this sequel to Hamilton's astonishing novel Cousins (1990), it's a year later, and 12-year-old Cammy and her family are still in anguish over the drowning of her cousin Patty Ann. The story is not as focused this time, partly because there is such a huge cast of characters to keep straight as the extended family gathers for a summertime reunion in Cammy's small Ohio town. At the center of the story is a family secret that has been kept from Cammy all her life: just who exactly is the girl Fractal from Queens, New York, who teaches Cammy how to use a computer and travel through cyberspace? Why is Fractal in Cammy's father's house? Cammy discovers that her loving parents did wrong, are wrong, and are far from the perfect image she has always had of them. At the same time, she sees that the river that drowned her cousin is also a source of renewal and union and connection. The metaphors are sometimes overworked, but the secret will hold readers--the drama between the mean and the nice in everyone. --Hazel Rochman

The end of 2018 has been sad, exciting and surprising, all depending on the Motorsport you watch. While many of those emotions were due to how races ended and who won, many people also found some good and bad news with the regulations changing in 2019 in their favourite sports.
Overall, most of the changes are exciting and add a new aspect to the sport of F1. Not only will we see more overtaking in F1, but we’ll also see new racing weights and age limits in motocross. Overall, 2019 seems to present a bright and interesting range of features to the petrol heads of the world, leading to excellent racing entertainment for the season ahead.
Below, we look at some of the changes and how they will make things better for us as viewers. Some of the changes might seem to be a disadvantage and an advantage at the same time, but as we all know, we can really tell what they’ll do for the sport until the cars and bikes hit the track.
NASCAR is the first on the list as they are making changes to the current tapered spacer to reduce the power for 21 races in the next season after the Daytona 500. While we all want these cars to have more power, they NASCAR teams are making the racers more exciting this way as they force drivers to be better at what they do to stay ahead.
The tapered spacer is a plate that restricts the airflow of the engine. The teams have to change the place for tracks that are longer than 1.2 miles. The new plate will decrease the power from the standard 750hp down to 550hp, which is still more than enough power to deliver exciting races, but we might just see some new leaders come through who handle the turns and exit speeds better.
Formula 1 is sure to introduce an exciting range of races as the 2019 season comes along. We will once again see changes to the front and back wings along with smaller changes to the brakes and wheels. All of these are geared towards making the cars provide cleaner air out the back and allow the cars following to catch up easier to the leader.
The wake of the cars will provide as much as 30% cleaner air, which is a huge advantage for the cars slip-streaming. These changes form part of the 2021 vision for F1, changing it into a sport that’s not only exciting, but has all the over-taking action we need.
With these changes, we are sure to see an interesting range of events next season, which will introduce new winners for the season. The F1 season is sure to be one to keep your eye on as cars that usually finish lower than 5th might just make their way through.
Motocross is also making some great changes to their EMX250 series by limiting ages and introducing a whole new platform called the EMX250 t2 series, which of course gets the 250 2 strokes into the races for those who aren’t quite ready for the MX2 and MXGP series but want to move on from the EMX250 range.
They are also applying new age limits of 23 for the EMX250 series, meaning some of the racers need to move on either to the bigger racers or need to go with something like the 2 strokes. On top of that, we might even see some younger riders move onto the 2 strokes, which is sure to turn most classes upside down with exciting events and winners.

THE SHIELD (Spoilers)
The greatest TV in history is being made right now. The worst TV in history is being made right now.
by GeraldLaz on Sat Mar 25, 2006 4:24 pm
Did ya ever think that the writers of the show are purposely trying to change our feelings towards Vic and the strike team?
Everyone loved Lem, and he gets iced by Shane. What a dirty thing to do.
Guess what.....these guys are dirty, filthy, rotten guys with guns and badges. Kavanaugh is a total ass but guess what....he didnt kill Terry or rob the Money train.
These guys are the WORST and yet we still root for them every week (I know I do)
I'm thinkin that Shawn Ryan is gonna make next year the last and its all about the downfall of Vic and the team. Killing Lem puts the whole team in a negative light and has us rooting against Shane and Vic instead of for them. How many shows actually have Evil winning over good?
He set the stage this season with Lem's death. Did Vic green light it with shane? There were some strange looks between the two of them when they were waiting for Lem that night.
Im just saying its a possibility. A TV show that has you rooting for the bad guys decides to close out the show with the good guys winning, our heroes being exposed as the criminals they are, and all of us getting to watch great TV.
GeraldLaz
by RogueScribner on Sat Mar 25, 2006 5:18 pm
No way Vic was in on Lem's murder. It was a decision made by Shane to cover his ass. If Vic weren't truly broken up about it, he wouldn't have attacked Kavanaugh in front of a bunch of other cops, including his captain. Vic was going crazy inside his head over Lem's death. Those strange looks you speak of was just Shane looking shifty while Vic was praying for Lem to show up.
If it turns out Vic was in the know, the show is over for me. Vic may be a bad cop, but he is loyal. He is all about family. He killed Terry to protect the Strike Team. As far as he was concerned, the Strike Team would stand together or Vic would take the heat himself to protect the other guys. I believe he was sincere in this statement. Vic isn't EVIL, he's just a guy who's let himself get a little too dirty while trying to take care of his own.
I'm not making excuses for Vic. He certainly deserves a prison sentence after all he's done. But Vic isn't a monster. He's still a man with a heart. He was loyal to Lem and the rest of the Strike Team. Shane, when all is said and done, is a coward and he is physically unable to take a stand on anything. Vic isn't. That's why Shane lured Lem away and killed him. He knew Vic would never agree to it. But Shane felt it had to be done to save himself and the other guys from ending up in jail.
Unfortunately, if Vic never offed Terry, Shane may not have had the guts to off Lem. Shane idolizes Vic and when the truth is exposed, Shane will probably end up dead (or at least severely beaten), but afterwards, Vic isn't going to see Shane's face when he recalls Lem's death: he's going to see his own.
by The Selecter on Sun Mar 26, 2006 7:43 am
I also briefly questioned whether Shane was secretly commissioned to off Lem, but after it played out, it was obvious he was just acting alone. Lucky for him Kavanaugh only had enough manpower for two tails, eh?
The thing is, Shane aspires to Vic, but he's too stupid to pull it off. Last season was the perfect illustration of that when he got squeezed by Antwoine "lick my balls" Mitchell and had to have Vic bail him out. Prior to that, it didn't take Vic two seconds to figure out that his wife took out Tavon with an iron when they brawled. Cletus Van Damme, etc.
We'll see how things play out, and whether the writers use the clock they set up at the beginning of the season with the early retirement the brass are forcing on Vic. He's got three or four months of Shield Time left if they follow through.
Ryan says he already has ideas of how he wants things to end. But over the life of the series, he's been amenable to change if a better solution comes along.
Oh, and one last thought on all this who should die/go to jail, etc.
Acevada used Antwoine to get rid of his little "problem." He actually carried out a threat analogous to the one that Kavanaugh was making. Does Acevada deserve to die, too?
The Selecter
by bigtroyjon on Sun Mar 26, 2006 8:06 am
Acevada doesn't deserve to die. If a dude orally rapes me you better belive he is gonna get shanked. I just rewatched the pilot on Spike last night where Acevada lets Vic beat the shit out of the pedophile. Acevada has a pretty long laundry list too.

Also, I tend to avoid spoilers for shows I really like, but I did read that we might not have seen the last of Kavanaugh, even though the stories at the time said Forest Whitaker was only signed for the first half of the "season."

The Shield has been greenlit for a sixth season. No one at FX will confirm, but very reliable sources say series creator Shawn Ryan has decided there's enough creative juice left to carry on for one more season. The show is currently in production on Season 5's final 10 episodes, slated to debut in early '07.

I've been kinda figuring this would be it as well, but I'm glad it's not. I have no idea where they will go for Season 6, but they've earned the benefit of the doubt. They haven't dropped the ball yet, no reason they will have jumped the shark by season 6.
by The Selecter on Tue Jun 06, 2006 5:58 am
Shawn Ryan has said he knows how he wants it to end. As LV says, he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
Since they have been afforded more time, I do hope that they address some of the longstanding plot points.

I think he may have moved past that now, I still hope they have him turn cold blooded killer but after he learnt that trick from the pimp I think he may just become a controlling deutschbag.

Yeah, I forgot about that pimp thing. Pimpmaster Dutch! Aw yeah!
by The Selecter on Wed Jun 21, 2006 5:45 am
Dutch's cat choking episode is one thing the show's fans often wonder about. If Ryan pays any attention at all, and it seems like he does, I think he could address it. Or maybe not.
Clifton Collins Jr. has joined the cast. As opposed to Jack in Thief, he will play for the other team on the Shield.

I'm not sure if this is the main shield section, but it was the only one i could find! Anyways, do people know when the new season of the shield is back in '07?? Also is that gonna be a new series or is it gonna be series 5?? Either way can't wait this show is awesome, plus i just wanna state that i def don't want vic to go down! Shane perhaps although i will be gutted, although vic is a just a guy with fluctuating morals..one moment i think his been alittle harsh the next i think there wouldn't be any other officer i'd want to solve a case!!

There are only two possible endings for Vic: he either beats the system and comes out smelling like roses in the end or he'll go out like Scarface.
by rhaps0dy on Tue Nov 21, 2006 3:41 pm
hmm, both would be pretty sweet, i'd rather he beats the system, although, perhaps if he were to go out like scarface i wouldn't mind the ending being alittle more like butch and sundances last stand!

I hope Vic gets run over by a truck. That would be hi-larious!
Either that, or he's crushed by an anvil. Or a grand piano.

That's right, it's back bitches!!
The Shield Season 6 Premieres on FX Tuesday, April 3.
Kavanaugh is back, Lem is dead, Shane must deal with the consequences of his handy grenade work (or not), Claudette is captain, Dutch remains a danger to cats everywhere, and of course Vic must try to keep everyone from getting busted and/or killed. Buckle your seatbelts.
Here's the episode description for the season premiere, On The Jones, from TV.com: POSSIBLE MILD SPOILERISH MATERIAL:
With the Barn grieving over the loss of one of their own, Vic quest to find his friends' killer puts him in the crosshairs of Kavanaugh. Things don't seem to go smoothly for Claudette as she attempt to get settled into her new role as Captain. Ronnie and Vic begin to worry about Shane's unusual behavior. Meanwhile, Dutch and Billings investigate a mass murder in San Marcos.
This thread is now stickified.

The confrontations between Vic and Cavanaugh are amazingly intense.
Especially after Vic had his way with Cavanaugh's ex-wife... (Love Gina Torres)...
The look on Whitaker's face when Cavanaugh asks what Vic did to her when he found out that Mackey had been at his house...
"He made me cum, John. Twice..."
Ashen... it was priceless.
walterjack
While the Vic/Kavanugh confrontations are intense, I enjoyed the Vic/Acevada confrontation scene in the bathroom more.
The Acevada encounters aren't nearly as predictable, and the two have a much more interesting relationship that goes back much longer. They can either play nice, or one or the other may pull out the knife from behind their back. They don't like each other, but they still need each other so neither is willing to let loose despite the contempt. If Vic could eliminate Kavanaugh without repercussions, he'd probably do it right then and there.
People on the main site were predicting Vic's ultimate fate in the talkback. I can wait to do that. First, I'd like to see how Vic's relationships with Shane and Acevada play out first. If Vic ends up getting what he deserves, then I hope Acevada does too, since he's only a few shades lighter than Vic.

this show is the best on tv at combining season long storylines with single episode ass kicking. this is the show that lost needs to learn from.
this episode was great, but it is probably the last we see of forest. just incredible to see an actor of his caliber be a main part of a basic cable show
I LOVE THE SHIELD.
by John-Locke on Fri Apr 20, 2007 8:52 pm
Thanks to Canal+ in France getting the show before the US I just had the pleasure of watching episodes 4 & 5 back to back
Although the case of the week for episode 4 (Vic and the Strike team) was confusing as hell (something about revolutionary 9ers) and in episode 5 (Dutch & Billings) it was simply cliche (I solved it way before they did) they were still some pretty entertaining episodes, not the best the Shield has to offer but still pretty damn good.
The show doesn't feel as good with Kavanaugh out of the picture but it's going somewhere, Ronnie is finally getting more to do as seen in episode 3, Vic & Shane are going through the usual motions with dramatic effect (look out for a brilliant bit of acting from Chiklis at the end of Episode 4) and all the other storylines and relationships are bubbling away in the background, Billings is even finally starting to come good.
Look out for a neat little side story in episode 5 with Carl Weathers and Chiklis teaming up for a little job.
by The Selecter on Sat Apr 21, 2007 2:37 am
The show was bound to cool off a bit after the whole Kavanaugh arc transpired. I didn't expect that kind of pressure cooker could be sustained forever.
I suspect the rest of S6 will serve mainly as a setup for the final season. They'll probably resolve whether Vic can resist being shown the door by the brass, but the question of whether Vic discovers Shane's actions will probably remain unanswered until S7. At least I hope it turns out that way.
So Carl Weathers returns? What do Vic and Shane sound like dubbed in French?
by Quiet Storm on Sat Apr 21, 2007 4:10 am
The langauge is in English. The only thing that sucks is I may be without Internet for awhile and I have to wait 3 weeks for a new episode.
Just watched episodes 6 & 7, I want to talk about it but it's too good to spoil for you suckas who have to wait another 3 or 4 weeks.
I'm glad that the anti-Shield ruler of Coax has seen fit to post talkbacks on the main site, but there's a lot of spoiler talk going on. For me, this show is too good to have spoiled, so I've decided not to go there.
6 is only a couple weeks away, and after waiting over a year for them to finally show S6, I'm in no hurry to rush through them.

That is appreciated. However, this topic is also marked spoiler, so it's well within bounds to talk about it if you wish to. The TB's on the main site also have spoilerish discussion.
I think I'll just lay low for the next four weeks for my own sake.
All this talk about the Sopranos' ending has me thinking about how the Shield might end.
I wouldn't have a problem if Ryan chose to end it ambiguously as well, but since Chase has done that already, now he's gonna have to spill some blood.
Vic and the Strike Team being taken down would be too predictable and easy. OTOH, if he gets away relatively unscathed, it would violate the unwritten rule where every action on this show demands consequences.
Shooting begins next week 8)
by wonkabar on Tue Jun 12, 2007 5:05 am
I betcha The Shield has a very similar ending to The Sopranos'
Kinda "business as usual" yet with an ambiguous sense of impending doom....which itself is business as usual.
We've seen Vic & co. get in and out of so many tight spots, that I doubt it will end with Vic "finally getting this or that" but rather, it'll just end.

I finished watching Season 3 last night (yeah, I know, I know - JohnnyComeLatelyILASH etc etc). I thought it was not quite up there with Season One but better than Season Two.
God knows when the Season 4 DVD will get its UK release date, but it will be good to see Vic back amongst the gangs. Season 3 finished the most open-ended of the 3 that I've watched and also the darkest. I love that and am already chomping at the bit for more....

IMO Season 4 is probably third best, after S5 and S1. Some dislike it, because it's a little different than the others in that it focuses more on Vic and Captain Rawlings, so the other characters recede into the background a bit.
To me, it wasn't an unwelcome change; more typical Strike Team antics would have started to grown wearying. Instead, it swung Vic's karma meter a little bit back toward the good side, and fully ushers in the show's shift to the internal dynamics of the Strike Team that reaches new heights in S5. Glenn Close and Anthony Anderson give fantastic performances.

NICE! Thanks Selecter - I like the sound of S4 from what you've described. S3 seemed to tie up a whole bunch of storyline (I wonder if after S1 it was commissioned for 2 more seasons initially) so I figured S4 would represent something new/different. Good to hear that THE SHIELD pulled it off for the better too - so many series lose their way after the 2nd or 3rd season.

I don't hate CGI. I hate poorly utilized/rendered CGI. A crap effect is a crap effect, be it practical or digital. Why does CGI get so much more criticism? Because it can do things we've only dreamed of seeing in film and it can make us believe in what we're seeing. When that illusion is spoiled, when it's even more apparent that what we're seeing never should have made it to print, it's frustrating and it breeds contempt. Practical effects can blend into a practical environment seamlessly and even when they don't, well, at least they tried. But CGI? How DARE they not get it RIGHT every time???!!!
I think that's where a lot of it stems from. I can make allowances for a practical effect that didn't quite hit the mark, but it's a lot harder for me to make the same allowance for CGI. I'm not saying it's right or logical. It is what it is.
I miss all the fun.

yeah, Bax has a good point. cgi has been a great boon in one respect, like the LOTR films, but it has ended up being over used. kind of analogous to make-up for a chick. they say the best make up job is one where she doesn't look like she is wearing make-up, only use just enough. bad cgi is like a chick using heavy blue eyeshadow and bright red lipstick, looks fake.

I tend to agree with the above. Not so much about Lord of the Rings, because I didn't really like that movie, but in that I think CGI is a tool and it's more a question of how and when you use it.
I think CGI is great for creating cities and animating spaceships flying around and stuff. It's ideal for non-organic creations.
It's even fine for living creatures sometimes, like when a creature is running around and stuff. But when you're looking at its face while it's talking, then you should switch to a puppet. I hated looking at that CGI Yoda talking in those Star Wars prequels. I'm also fine with a 50-50 approach, like a puppet where they enhance some of its lip and eye movement through CGI.
And yeah, CGI blood doesn't really make any sense to me. I vote to stick with squibs.
I will also add that these Robert Zemekis movies creep me the hell out. That trailer for Beowulf gave me nightmares. I don't know how people can stand to watch entire movies in that creepy living wax musuem style. I'm fine with animating humans in 3D, but do it in a stylized cartoonish way like The Incredibles.
by Chairman Kaga on Tue Feb 03, 2009 11:47 am
Wow you sure are a hell of a debater Baxter. By this logic why doesn't anyone just whip out "you're opinion isn't good enough".
CG has greatly sped up shooting schedules and freed up downtime between setups through minor things like CGI blood. Less downtime and more setups per day is good as it frees up revenue in the budget. "Oh no that fake blood that shot out of that guy is fake instead of another kind of fake". Why not complain that the blood is fake period and demand it be real?

And the best example of this....Starship Troopers. Excellent use of CG over Space ship models, their layering worked a treat. The Arachnids were also very impressive and certianly had a presence and depth of size but the blood...was a little poor, espeically when the creatures went stabby stabby.

I'm with you there, that's about my feelings exactly on it. There are definite exceptions, like LOTR where CG was used in combination with miniatures and practical fx and it actually looked really good - and there probably wasn't any other way they could've achieved the shots without CG. However, as you said as well, they need to stop using CG to replace things that can be achieved more realistically by other, more traditional means. It just seems filmmakers are getting lazy and pushing the CG too far (eg. George Lucas) and I'm sick of looking at it! Fantasy and sci-fi movies I have less of a problem with, but what really bugs me is how it's used in action movies that are supposed to look and feel realistic.
The worst for me is digital stunt doubles, where they are trying to pass of a completely-digitally animated model as an actor during action scenes. They always tend to exaggerate movements way too much and it always stands out like a sore thumb.
by papalazeru on Tue Feb 03, 2009 1:18 pm
The problem is, I think, the over saturation of effects nowadays in lower budget films. There's tons where it's not neccessarily needed. There are so many middle of the road films which rely mainly of special effects to push the story through, whereas if they had a decent script, they wouldn't have to be so dependent on them.
I really hope that Clash of the Titans goes for a combination of models and computer graphics. Robo Harry Hausen Jr, please.

Dude, you would be surprised! There are TONS of great CGI effects out there - but you don't recognize them! And this is the point: People are always complaining about CGI because crappy F/X are easy to spot. So they see them and say: "Oh, CGI, this sucks." but they don't realize that maybe even in the same movie there are probably lots of invisible F/X shots. A good example (that just came to my mind) Is Spider-Man 2, where audiences complain about the fake looking CGI Spidey in some scenes but are surprised when you tell them that the shot of the drowning Doc Ock was 100% CGI. Maybe there are even some great F/X in Van Helsing.
(P.S. It's also strange that we have less problems with watching Stop Motion effects than bad CGI? I love Ray Harryhausen's work, but 'realistic' looks different.)

The thing about King Crimson is that, as they changed lineups, the music shifted this way and that, but always centered itself around Robert Fripp.
Wake of Poseidon is a fine and almost worthy follow up to Court, but Greg Lake was already slipping away ( to join ELP), Ian MacDonald would soon be in Foreigner and Crimson Mach I would soon be over.
Lizard, the third Crimson effort, saw a sweet guest vocal from Jon Anderson of Yes, which was nice because Gordon Haskell ( Greg Lake's replacement) stinks.
Not nearly as strong as either of the albums that preceded it.
Sounds best when Haskell keeps his mouth shut.
In my book Crimson lost it's way for a bit, as Islands & Earthbound just didn't work for me. I missed the old noise from Court and even Posiedon.
Then came Lark's Tongue in Aspec.
OMG. Lovers of the first two Crimson efforts won't hear much familar here, but Lark's is one of my favorite Crimson albums. Replacing Boz Burrell with John Wetton helped enormously. Love Bill Bruford ( drums). The only draw back to Lark is violinist David Cross, who "simply cannot play his instrument".
No matter.
Side Two of Lark's sent me on one of the longest out of body trips I can recall. Starts with the trippy Easy Money, augmented by madman ( certified) Jamie Muir on percussion. Segues into The Talking Drum and puts the boot in, Crimson style, on Lark's Tongue in Aspec Part Two.
For me Lark stands as the second best King Crimson effort, behind Court.
Starless, sadly without Jamie Muir who, we can only assume, was removed by nice men wearing white coats and carrying butterfly nets, is still solid. It's just not quite as imaginative as Larks.
Red is a bit more of the same, without ( finally) that twink David Cross mucking up the vibe. Still, moments of goodness. But this version of Crimson sound is so unlike the first two or three LPs...you might like it.
You might not.
Later, comma, Crimson reformed again, this time with Adrian Belew, the impeccable Tony Levin on base and Bruford again on the skins.
Brilliance ensued.
And now Jillian is giving me shit. She wants to be fed.
Kids.
Damn that Sepp guy has decent taste in music.....
Glad you're enjoying, Dale.

Red is the Crimson album I always hear recommended. That's probably why I got it, but for some reason I haven't listened to it. Maybe now is a good time.
by The Vicar on Sat Apr 05, 2008 7:54 am
Red is solid. King Crimson reduced to a power trio, with some guests pitching in.

I'd also recommend Caravan to anyone who wants to hear more of that lighter, more whimsical folk-prog sound KC had in their earlier days. Especially In The Land of Pink & Grey and, one of the best named albums EVAR, If I Could Do It All Over Again I'd Do It All Over You. I remember you (DT) saying you were a fan of Traffic, so I figure they should be right up your alley.

Not an album, but I did read that Bowie contributes two vocals on Scarlett Johannson's Tom Waits covers album. True Story.
boingboing linked to a free download novelty album a couple of days ago that I have to admit I've been enjoying - it's a free and legal torrent download. Does Bluegrass mash-up with gangster mc rhymes? Gangstergrass says YES! now that's random.

In honor of the summer and the 5 days of rain finally letting up, I have decided to share one of my favorite summertime and bands: Beulah.
First up is the song that made me fall in love with them in the first place If we can land a man on the moon surely I can win your heart. This fuzzed out summer balad evokes 50s scifi, Beatles, and Brian Wilson but manages to be evoke without imitating and come up with some beautiful pop melodies. Want strings? horns? its all here and more. A perfect pop song.
Next up we have Popular Mechanics For Modern Lovers
Emma Blowgun's Last Stand is the last track I will leave you with.
Beulah is the perfect summer music bouncing melodies drift along like waves and perfectly captures the feeling of a lazy day on the beach.
Give them a listen you wont regret it.

Here is a fun read on UK bands discussing the highs and lows of headlining festivals.
Admittedly they aint all big hitters nowadays, but back in the day some of them used to be my favourite artists. Carter USM really were a bit nobbish, but I never noticed at the time. haha.
The Basement Jaxx story had me chuckling.

Like the way iTunes handles your music but don't like iTunes? Check out Songbird. It's essentially Firefox with VLC media player under the hood so, while I'm not the biggest fan of its iTunes-ish layout, it does some cool things. You can browse the internet, search for and download music, edit mp3 metadata, and, because its based on Firefox, you can customize it with add-ons - including one for using Songbird with your iPod. I've only been playing with it a few days now. I don't have an iPod so I can't say how well that works but I love being able to edit the metadata. I had no idea how many improperly tagged songs I had. I'm gonna keep playing with it and see if I'm going to keep it.

Found this on the Beeb... I like Palahniuk and i like Radiohead... sweet...
Radiohead pen new Palahniuk score
Palahniuk said he listened to Radiohead while writing the book
Radiohead have written the score for the film adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's 2001 book Choke, the author has revealed to the BBC.
Palahniuk's 1996 novel Fight Club was made into a film starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton.
Choke has also been adapted for the big screen and stars Sam Rockwell.
Speaking to 6 Music, Palahniuk said he listened to Radiohead while writing the book, and it was "incredible" the band had written the film score.
Final credits
"Clark Gregg [Choke director]... knew that I'd written Choke while listening to [Radiohead's 1993 debut album] Pablo Honey, with Creep over and over and over," Palahniuk told the Shaun Keaveny Breakfast Show.
"So Clark got Radiohead to contribute a song; to write a song for the very end of the movie, the final credits.
"Apparently Radiohead liked the movie so much, they've written the score."
Asked if he felt honoured, Palahniuk said: "I quit believing in my own life at this point! My life is just too incredible to be believable anymore. It's a living dream."
Choke is due to be released in November.

I find it really sweet how overwhelmed Palahniuk is in that interview

I know, i really liked that too, who'd have thought that someone who writes what he sometimes writes would come across as a gushing schoolgirl (There's a manipulatable quote there from Havoc somewhere)...
I just hope that the films good....

I dunno, they're okay; this move is clear emo-bait though
I dunno, Ribbons.
It's not exactly Twilight.
They should've gone with Depeche Mode or something.
I get that Dylan's songs are probably more famous than he is.
I don't see why MCR would feel the need to cover him though, unless they want to see their name on a very long list on wikipedia.
The advantage is, some MCR fans will seek out the Dylan original & that'll lead to them listening to good music.
My use of the term "good" is objectionable. Take whatever stance you will.
Also, i know that lot of people can't stand Dylan's voice, maybe even some zoners.
But they can't really deny that he's written some really good, memorable music.
by Hermanator X on Thu Feb 12, 2009 4:47 am
Heres the full soundtrack list for anyone interested:
Desolation Row - My Chemical Romance
Unforgettable - Nat King Cole
The Times They Are A-Changin' - Bob Dylan
The Sound Of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel
Me & Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin
I'm Your Boogie Man - KC & The Sunshine Band
You're My Thrill - Billie Holiday
Pruit Igoe & Prophecies - Philip Glass
Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen
All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix
Ride Of The Valkyries - Budapest Symphony Orchestra
Pirate Jenny - Nina Simone
Not a bad selection, and I imagine the Chemical romance track will play over the end credits, just because they have to end with a modern track. Its in movie rules or something.
All Along The Watchtower; very appropriate...
Also, Ride of the Valkyries? That one seems a little strange to me. I wonder what scene it plays over
by Hermanator X on Fri Feb 13, 2009 2:28 pm
I dont know if there are any orbital fans in the Zone (Their damn well should be, the finest electronica that will ever grace your ears )
But they seem to have reformed, and so far have announced tour dates in the uk. http://www.loopz.co.uk/begin.html
I think more dates are to be added, and I hope I can wangle one of the gigs. (Please please please come to norway!)

If early preview reports are to be believed, a 10 minutes + extended version of My Chemical Romance's cover version play over a lengthy opening credit sequence which introduces and contextualises the 'alternate universe' Watchmen is set in.

usually ably handled by someone like MIchael ( RIP ) Kamen?

They should've reformed last year, then they could've played Glasto again.
Still, they are doing other festivals.
Rock Ness sounds good. Hopefully I'll be able to go this year.

Wiki says MCR for end credits.
Makes sense, seeing as the majority of the other tracks are mentioned in the book.
Surely a 10 min MCR song as an opener would make most of the audience walk out.
by tapehead on Sat Feb 14, 2009 1:06 am
I dunno - whatever it was I posted in the Watchmen thread from mtv a few months ago is probably right -
tapehead wrote: My Chemical Romance to cover Dylan's "Desolation Row" for the credits of the movie. Apparently it will be an abridged version of Dylan's +12 minute epic, in the style of James Carroll's version of 'People Who Died,' which plays over the credits of Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake. "Snyder confirmed that we'll be hearing classic, era-defining tracks from Jimi Hendrix, Simon & Garfunkel, Nat King Cole and Bob Dylan", and nothing that was recorded after 1985 - but maybe covers, like in this instance, it's not entirely clear.
That's right bitches, I quote myself, refuting my previously stated opinion, with my own post, from the past!

secondly, their music sucks.
thirdly, the whole thing about them putting out a kids album is such a total ripoff of TMBG "pop band puts out kiddie album to make loads of money". i guess the money's good, but...
fourthly, if your band's name is "barenaked ladies" then it's a little weird to be putting out a kids album under that name.
and fifthly and finally, they suck.
and their music sucks.

Mary Pickford’s ambition, passion, innate talent, and savvybusiness acumen sent her career into the stratosphere and set the blueprint forthe modern movie star. Born Gladys Louise Smith in 1892, Pickford was raised ina house on University Avenue in Toronto and began her acting career on the stage.However, her determination led her to the new world of motion pictures, whereshe not only revolutionized acting method but negotiated her own terms for thehighest salary for any actress and complete creative control over her films —unheard of behaviour for a woman of that period.
Pickford co-founded UnitedArtists in 1919 with Douglas Fairbanks and Charlie Chaplin, which turned theexisting studio system on its head. The actress’s subsequent marriage toFairbanks incited a fan frenzy comparable to today’s obsession with coupleslike Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Although Pickford’s star faded with theadvent of talking pictures, she was the catalyst for the culture of Hollywoodcelebrity that enthralls us today.
Peggy Dymond Leavey's previous books include Sky Lake Summer, The Deep End Gang, and The Path Through the Trees, all of which were nominated for the Silver Birch Award. Recently, she published Growing Up Ivy, Mary Pickford, and Laura Secord. Peggy lives in Trenton, Ontario.
Peggy Dymond Leavey’s ten previous books include Sky Lake Summer, The Deep End Gang, and The Path Through the Trees, all of which have been nominated for the Silver Birch Award. She has also been shortlisted for the Manitoba Young Readers’ Choice award, the Arthur Ellis Award, and the Canadian Library Association Book of the Year for Children Award. Her most recent book, Growing Up Ivy, was published by Dundurn in 2010.
A retired librarian, Peggy has published stories and articles in newspapers and magazines and was contributing editor on three books of local history. Her interest in the pioneers of early motion pictures began with her research into the movie industry of her hometown, Trenton, Ontario — Canada’s filmmaking capital from 1917–1934. Writing the life of Mary Pickford was a natural progression.

8 Star Wars Spinoff Films We Actually Want to See
With Solo: A Star Wars Story failing to connect with audiences around the galaxy, there is a big question looming over the Star Wars universe like an Imperial ship swooping over a camera: What happens next to the Star Wars anthology films? There are unconfirmed reports of a Boba Fett movie and maybe a solo Obi-Wan movie. But beyond that, we’ve got nothing. And, theoretically, anything could happen.
That limitless sense of possibilities inspired the video above, where ScreenCrush’s Ryan Arey pitches eight different ideas for eight different spinoffs from the main Star Wars series. Yes, the Obi-Wan movie is in there, of course. But he’s got some other ideas you might never have considered before, including a few that would take Star Wars in totally new directions in terms of tone, content, and even graphic violence. They’re all really good ideas, whether or not Lucasfilm ever uses them. (And if Lucasfilm does want to use them, they can work out a residuals agreement with our lawyers very easily.)
If you enjoyed our list of Star Wars spinoff films we’d actually like to see, check out some more of our videos below, including our complete ranking of all 11 theatrical Star Wars films, our video essay on the Arthurian origins of the saga, and our video on the most shameless Star Wars ripoffs ever made. Plus, there’s tons more over at ScreenCrush’s YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe to catch all our future episodes.

OnLive closing? Company says ‘of course not’
- Aug. 17th 2012 12:25 pm PT
Update: While OnLive provided the same statement (below) to Kotaku as they did to Joystiq, a new report from Kotaku, citing a source inside OnLive, claimed the company is about to file for bankruptcy and layoff most of its employees:
The source says that everyone at the company knew things were tight. This morning, an all-hands meeting was called at 10 a.m. this morning where CEO Steve Perlman said that OnLive would be filing for ABC bankruptcy in the state of California—a status that affords them a level of protection from creditors. Perlman also said that the company as it stands now would cease to exist and that no one would be employed by OnLive. A subset of employees would be brought on to the company created from the remains of OnLive.
[tweet https://twitter.com/onlive/status/236537627526979584]
OnLive’s Director of Corporate Communications Brian Jaquet has shot down rumors that the game streaming service is closing its doors after several media outlets reported the story earlier today. A report from The Verge, citing video game developer Brian Fargo and emails from former OnLive staff members, claimed the game-streaming service would shut its doors and lay off staff immediately. Emails obtained by The Verge’s sister site, Polygon, claimed a new company would be formed. However, current OnLive employees would be let go for the time being:
“I wanted to send a note that by the end of the day today, OnLive as an entity will no longer exist,” reads an email forwarded to Polygon. “Unfortunately, my job and everyone else’s was included. A new company will be formed and the management of the company will be in contact with you about the current initiatives in place, including the titles that will remain on the service.”
Speaking with Joystiq, Jaquet confirmed OnLive is not shutting down:
“We don’t respond to rumors, but of course not… The exciting news is that the first VIZIO Co-Stars (Google TV stream players) with the OnLive app built-in have just arrived in customer homes,” he continued, “and our second of three ‘Indie Giveaway Weekends’ is going on now. OnLive users can get a free copy of the award-winning games Space Pirates and Zombies and SpaceChem.” So it sounds like OnLive is still open for business.
When asked about possible layoffs, Jaquet confirmed: “The OnLive service is not shutting down.”

Cyborg time?
Thread starter Tim
I remember reading a book for kids in the early 80's about a time when competitions like the Olympics could be held on other planets, with different gravity and air changing the records we have in place for humans.
But the technology wasn't around to discuss replacement legs, the technology of such being used at this level. Just what classifies you as a Cyborg? The replacement (intentional or not) of your legs? To allow you to run as fast, but for longer, without losing your stamina reserves in sprints like ordinary humans? Do you need a certain percentage of body parts/organs replaced to qualify as a Cyborg?
Looks like the Olympics already had a law in place for the future and one athlete has just been banned from participating for reasons similar to this situation. Should we be calling this 'athlete' a 'Cyborg' and not merely a 'disabled' athlete? Should a man with no legs only be allowed to race in a wheelchair and not with artificial legs?

'Blade Runner' handed Olympic ban
Pistorius had his legs amputated when he was a child
Paralympic 400m star Oscar Pistorius has failed in his bid to compete at this year's Olympic Games in Beijing. The IAAF, athletics' governing body, ruled his prosthetic limbs give him an advantage over able-bodied opponents and contravene rules on technical aids.
A scientific study revealed that Pistorius, nicknamed "Blade Runner", used 25% less energy than able-bodied runners to run at the same speed.
The 21-year-old South African said last week he would appeal against any ban.
Paralympic gold medalist Pistorius training for Beijing
"I feel that it is my responsibility, on behalf of other disabled athletes, to stand firm," he said. "I will appeal [against] this decision at the highest levels, while also continuing with my quest to race in the Paralympic Games and hopefully the Olympic Games."
The onus is now on us to prove that he is not getting an advantage
Agent Peet van Zyl
His agent Peet van Zyl told BBC Sport that he and Pistorius would sit down with their legal team to decide how to take their case forward.
"We are obviously very disappointed," Van Zyl said. "We were really hoping that he would be allowed (to compete).
"The natural feeling from our side is to appeal the verdict. The onus is now on us to prove that he is not getting an advantage."
It is likely that Pistorius will lodge an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
Pistorius, who holds the Paralympic world record of 46.34 seconds, spent two days in Cologne last November undergoing tests alongside five able-bodied athletes of similar ability.
Professor Peter Bruggemann's research concluded an athlete using the "Cheetah prosthetic" could run at the same speed as able-bodied athletes but use less energy.
The tests also revealed that running with prosthetic blades led to less vertical motion combined with 30% less mechanical work for lifting the body.
Based on this and other test results, it was decided the blades should be considered as technical aids in clear contravention of IAAF rules.
Last year, the IAAF banned the use of any device incorporating springs, wheels "or any other element that provides the user with an advantage over another athlete not using such a device".
The judgment doesn't seem scientific, fair, or flexible - I hope he has more luck on appeal.
The IAAF's decision means that Pistorius will not be allowed to run in any competitions involving able-bodied athletes.
Last summer he finished second in a 'B' race in 46.90 seconds at the Rome Golden League in July and, two days later, was disqualified for running out of his lane in Sheffield.
Pistorius was 11 months old when his legs were amputated below the knee but only began running competitively on the carbon fibre blades four years ago.
He had immediate success winning the 200m at the Athens Paralympic Games and bronze in the 100m.
The South African also holds Paralympic world records for the 200m (21.58secs) and 100m (10.91secs).
He has come close to times set by able-bodied athletes but has yet to attain the Olympic qualifying time over 400m.
Pistorius's Paralympic world record of 46.34 seconds is also some way off the best able-bodies athletes.
The fastest active athlete is American Jeremy Wariner, whose best time is 43.50secs, while fellow countryman Michael Johnson holds the world record at 43.18.
At last year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards, Pistorius won the Helen Rollason Award, given annually to an athlete showing courage in the face of adversity.
I caught that story on CNN.com earlier today and had some similar thoughts.
What really had me thinking was if the so-called "blades" could be tuned to artificially hamper their capabilities so that the runner would on par with other runners then would they be allowed? Or even if a totally different type of prosthetics would be approved instead?
I'm sure most of us have either read stories or seen shows where human enhancements can be "tweaked" with different power settings or disabled as needed. I think this runner will be remembered by future generations as the person who started the movement.
What about artifical hearts? If you could increase cell production momentarily to give you added oxygen capability?
Artifical eyes with zoom and ranging capability that help rifle/archery competitions or golfers?
Bone or muscle transplants with artifical materials that enable strong man competitors, javelin/discuss/shotputt or martial arts fighters the edge?
And artifical body parts is only one part of the equation. When gene therapy from conception to birth can interfere with the natural order we'll have more problems than we need, which might end up reducing all physical competitions, maybe even some mental. In the end, LAN gaming competitions on pre-arranged personal computers will be the only competition gaming left without the capability to 'cheat'

AOR iRacing Leagues
AOR iRacing League Archive
Formula 3 Test Driver
It's a real shame because the Ferrari is by far the most fun car to drive in iRacing. The Formula Renault league got a pretty good boost in interest from the broadcasting, so maybe the week 13 event, if it's still getting shown on GSRC, will help with numbers for next season.
Official races are fun but I can see myself losing interest real fast without some sort of league to be participating in.
iRacing Coordinator
Richtofen said:
That will also require a lot more interest than is currently shown. I need to make a decision on the broadcasting by the end of this month, so exactly a week today. If we don't get at least 20/25 committed drivers then I'm not forking out for it.
If people want that broadcast then they need to say it and say they're going to do it rather than wait until the day and say "yeah I'll do it."
AOR iRacing GTE S3 AM Champion & Super Mod
I've got a little bit of an outside opinion to offer and feel free to disagree. I'm new to iracing, can only speak of my first weeks and have yet to race with you!
Iracing differs from the other sims/games in one fundamental way when it comes to organized racing.
Iracing itself has an active community with good forums and tons of engagement and leagues. The challenge is to get people from that healthy community over here, where only a small (quite inactive) part is about iracing, the rest of no interest for the Iracers. Hence lowered participation and engagement throughout the season is almost to be expected, also with the countless good alternatives out on iRacing's own forums.
With all other sims/games you have quite low standard public stuff and places like AOR are the best places to talk, organize and race. The draw and "stickiness" of the community is a lot larger.
From my point of view, the way forward for AOR iracing is one of two (or both):
1. Create more value for high quality iracers: somehow attract the top drivers into an exclusive series and ensure quality of racing and visibility (streaming, commentary) is top notch. That will in turn draw others.
2. Rather than getting iracers here, get the guys and gals on other sims/games to sign up to iracing and run it alongside pcars, ac, f1 etc.
Considering the high financial hurdle that iracing presents, this should be aimed at minimizing needed content purchases.
If that is successful, a higher tier can be introduced With more paid content.
Rinse, repeat - build an iracing community as part of AOR, people that are already at home here
Stephan said:
We literally have SimRC.
As for the best commentary and best streaming etc, other than our very lovable King Kodiak, to get the absolute best, you're going to have to get a group of professional broadcasters in. Who usually charge. Now, I'm already co-paying for the sessions, and I paid the majority of the money to get KK into iRacing. I'm not willing to pay for a full season of GSRC or something else like it. That can be upward of £400/£500.
The only way to achieve that is hope the drivers donate to it as in Formula Renault. This then lessens the cost of one single person to pay out, and the drivers are invested in the commentary because they partially funded it. This helps retain drivers and drivers usually are vain and egotistical and enjoy going back to watch their overtakes/moves on the broadcast.
However, it's highly unlikely at current numbers that everybody here will compete for a second season, and secondly it's unlikely they'll all chip in for a broadcasting. Continuing this, the idea behind community funded broadcasting relies solely on the idea of the community. This series doesn't currently have a group of dedicated, hardcore people who want to see this go and take off. I'm sure there are a few who will. I certainly do, and I take there are a few others do want this go into Seasons onward. Until we get to that point, where we have 20/25 at least, committed, dedicated drivers who turn up the majority of weeks and sign up every season, community broadcasting isn't going to happen I'm afraid.
Interesting, but I don't think will work. Those who want to get into iRacing, do so on their own volition. You come into iRacing knowing it's expensive. I think if we ran a season solely on free-tracks, and not following the official calendar. I think you'd put more people off. Whilst a couple of the free tracks are alright, the majority are pants, and people already have paid content would not be interested in running the less good, free tracks just for the sake of new people. I've spent a lot of money on iRacing. I'm excited by next seasons calendar, I want to drive tracks like CoTA, Snetterton, Brazil etc. Not crappy little things like Jefferson Summit Point circuit or something.
Even if we ran a season of it, the season after would have to go back to paid content, which will either see a lot of people drop out or face a massive bill to keep up with the series. Unfortunately, if you don't have the disposable income for it, it's unlikely to draw people in for the long-term.
Interesting ideas, but I'm unsure.
Reactions: Dustin and Stephan
Content is certainly part of the problem, especially given only 1/12 of the tracks for IMSA is included in a base subscription, but that considered, not a single track on the FR calendar this season is base content and participation is still regularly in the mid 20's each race.
A custom championship setup so that we race at mostly base tracks could perhaps create a bit more interest but unless we have some other incentive for people to stay the Ferrari wont really get off the ground like the Renault did.
If we don't continue with a second season, I think something a bit smaller like a series where we only race at the endurance events throughout the season would garner some interest. At least that way there are only a few tracks to buy over the course of 12 weeks and setting up teams to enter in big events like that will be half the fun. Plus those kinds of races are normally broadcast anyway.
Reactions: Stephan
Thanks for your insights! Many things I wasn't aware of!
Did you run an official donation campaign through the donation section for commentary? If not, next season (however that may look)? I'd donate, weather I'm part of the league or not

Also, not to mention that if we're running teams in big endurance events that are broadcast by professionals (and half the drivers) where we have AOR plastered all over the cars, it would probably send a few people this way.
Well, like 2 people. But still, I'd be up for some Le Mans.
I had brief discussion with Phil about it and he highlighted it here.
The Pro Mazda had already been out for a few seasons (iRacing ones) when AOR started doing leagues in it. This momentum carried on into the FR, which had also already been out for a short while before the leagues got going in that.
We've hit the ground running with a league for a new car almost immediately. People generally sign up because they're excited by it but have only driven it a handful of times.
I'll not name them, but one person signed up before they even bought the car.
Thanks all, didn't see the broadcasting collection.
Good insights, as said I'm new to this stuff

Not too long before I sat down to see “The Florida Project,” I happened to emerge from a place of deep self-reflection, where I concluded that I see myself as an anti-capitalist eco-socialist.
Upon even deeper self-reflection, however, I identified one tiny but significant exception to that general identity, that probably unravels the whole thing: When it comes to the Walt Disney Corporation, I am a total corporate shill.

Why I Broke Free of the Bundle
By Joe Rominiecki / May 1, 2013 (iStockphoto/Thinkstock)
I reached my breaking point with the price of a cable TV package and decided to cut the cord. Do associations’ bundled member-benefits packages face the same danger?
Last September, I made one of the best decisions of my life. I got rid of my cable television subscription.
I joined the ranks of the cord cutters. Now, an HD antenna and internet service are all I need to get nearly all of the same enjoyment from television, for about $120 less—and about 500 fewer boring channels I never watched—per month.
There’s a good chance your association’s membership options look similar to cable television. A couple hundred bucks for access to everything, or nothing at all.
As a sports fan, I have run into a few occasions when a game I wanted to see was showing on ESPN, so I couldn’t watch. I also miss Discovery channel. That’s about it. Everything else was junk, and I’m glad I dumped it all. For ESPN and Discovery, though, I would be happy to pay $10 or $15 a month each. But that option isn’t available. The options are to either buy the bundle for half your paycheck or nothing at all. For a lot of people like me, this racket has gone on long enough, and we’re getting out, waiting for the day when true a la carte TV becomes reality.
By now I hope you’re starting to think about your association’s membership options. There’s a good chance they look similar to cable television. A couple hundred bucks for access to everything, or nothing at all.
The comparison isn’t perfect, of course. I sure as heck never felt like I “belonged” to my cable company or to a community of cable subscribers, nor did I want to. Associations, on the other hand, do sell a sense of belonging and community. That’s worth something. But how much?
I’ve gone on record to say that I think that people’s willingness to pay some amount of money to belong to a community will survive. And that a positive emotional connection with a community will lead people to value it highly. But the lesson from my experience with cable TV is that every bundled package of benefits has its breaking point. I’m willing to pay a fair amount of money for the handful of channels I value most, plus a small amount for “everything else.” When the price for everything else got too high, I was willing to give up the channels I valued most. In associations, “community” is just one of those valuable channels.
Members who want to belong will pay to do so. Or, members who want a magazine will pay to subscribe to it. And so on. But the more extras you tack on and use to justify raising the price of the bundle, the further you’ll get from the value of the one or two things each member actually values within the bundle.
Bundled benefits packages have worked for associations for a long time, and I don’t mean to proclaim that they won’t continue to work in the future. But the trouble with bundles is that they provide buyers with limited options and sellers with a clouded understanding of the individual values of their products and services. And, as cable TV providers are learning, emerging technology turns all of those options and values into a lot of moving targets.
Some organizations have turned to tiered memberships or a la carte memberships to sidestep the bundle problem. What has your association tried?

Encinitas Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Information
Are You Thinking About Filing Chapter 11 Bankruptcy?
It is important that prior to filing for bankruptcy you consult with a skilled chapter 11 bankruptcy attorney who can help decide what type of bankruptcy is right for you. Furthermore, an Encinitas bankruptcy attorney can walk you through the process of filing chapter 11 bankruptcy.
What Happens During a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy?
During a chapter 11 bankruptcy, otherwise known as a "reorganization" bankruptcy, a debtor remains in control of its operations and is subject to the oversight and jurisdiction of the court. Chapter 11 allows the debtor to acquire new financing on favorable terms by giving new lenders first priority. Chapter 11 bankruptcy also allows debtors to be protected from litigation by putting it on hold. For more information on what happens during a chapter 11 bankruptcy and how bankruptcy can help you, contact a chapter 11 bankruptcy attorney today.
An attorney can often resolve your particular legal issue faster and better than trying to do it alone. A lawyer can help you navigate the legal system, while avoiding costly mistakes or procedural errors. You should seek out an attorney whose practice focuses on the area of law most relevant to your issue.
Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer
What is the usual process to resolve my case? How long will it take to resolve this?
What are likely outcomes of a case like mine? What should I expect?
An experienced lawyer should be able to communicate a basic "road map" on how to proceed. The lawyer should be able to walk you through the anticipated process, key considerations, and potential pitfalls to avoid. Once you've laid out the facts of your situation to the lawyer, he/she should be able to frame expectations and likely scenarios to help you understand your legal issue.
How much does it cost to hire an attorney?
In general, how much an attorney costs will often depend on these four factors: billing method and pricing structure, type of legal work performed, law firm prestige, and attorney experience. Depending on the legal issue you are facing, an attorney may bill you by the hour, settle on a flat fee, or enter into a contingency fee agreement. The type of legal work you need help with will also play a role in cost incurred.

As an important part of the effort to create a user-friendly website, we look at the user pattern of those who visit the site. To analyze the information, we use the Google Analytics analysis tool. Google Analytics uses cookies (small text files that the site stores on the user’s computer), which registers the users’ IP address and provides information about the individual user’s online movements.
Examples of what the statistics give us answers to are; how many people visit different pages, how long the visit lasts, what websites users come from and what browsers are used. None of the cookies allow us to link information about your use of the site to you as an individual. The information collected by Google Analytics is stored on Google servers in the U.S.
The information received is subject to the Google Privacy Policy. An IP address is defined as a personal information because it can be traced back to a particular hardware and thus to an individual. We use Google Analytics’s tracking code to anonymize the IP address before the information is stored and processed by Google. Thus, the stored IP address can not be used to identify the individual user.
If the webpage has search function, it stores information about what keywords users use in Google Analytics. The purpose of the storage is to improve our information service. The search usage pattern is stored in aggregate form. Only the keyword is saved and they can not be linked to other information about the users, such as the IP addresses.
3. Share / Tips service

Tips for tips are not logged with us, but only used to add the tips to the community. However, we can not guarantee that the online community does not log this information. All such services should therefore be used wisely. If you use the email feature, we only use the provided email addresses to resend the message without any form of storage.
AquaGen distributes a newsletter by email. The recipients email address is stored in a separate database and is deleted when you cancel your subscription. The email address is also deleted when we receive feedback that it is no longer active (hard bounce).

The form is sent as email via Mailgun as a third party solution. The entire submission will be stored at Mailgun for 24 hours. Between 24 hours and 30 days, only mailheader is stored before the submission is deleted after 30 days.

Members are invited to a complimentary buffet lunch from 12 noon
It is with some reluctance that the Trustees have decided that Membership Fees need to be reviewed for 2019. The current level of fees have remained the same for the last twelve years while our costs of providing the membership services have increased on many fronts, from postage to print costs and the costs of office administration in sending out the information we are required to do.
It was decided to keep any increase to the minimum so from 2019 all fees will rise by £3 for every membership with a larger rise only applying to any new Life Membership. The Trustees are conscious of the financial obligations incurred by members in caring for their horses however we hope that members will understand that after fees being held since 2007 with no increases a small adjustment was inevitable at some time. The Trustees wish to thank all the members who continue to support the Society in the services and work we undertake.
The Arabian Performance Horse Parade at the National Heritage Centre’s O’Sullevan Arena in Newmarket took place on 28 April featuring 23 show champions and winning horses in all ridden disciplines, kindly sponsored by Shadwell Stud.

Humanitarian Action Overview 2019
No. of pages: 24
Author: UNFPA
"The year 2018 was another challenging period for millions of women and girls whose lives have been upended by conflict, hazards, pandemics and displacement. A staggering 136 million people needed aid, an estimated 34 million of whom were women of reproductive age; 5 million of those women were pregnant. Women do not stop giving birth when a conflict breaks out or a disaster strikes. Whether they live or die in emergencies depends on whether they can access basic sexual and reproductive health services and be protected from harm. We know by now that reproductive health and family planning services, and protection from violence, save lives in emergencies. They are as essential as food and shelter.
Prioritizing life-saving sexual and reproductive health and protection services requires a change of mindset about how we carry out global humanitarian action. One thing is clear: The health and rights of women and girls must no longer be treated as an afterthought. It’s time to put them at the forefront of humanitarian action and cater to their specific needs."

A fake Harlem in Sweden and other architecture illusions documented by Gregor Sailer
By Hope Daley
Jul 13, '18 4:01 PM EST
The caption to the photograph reveals that this isn’t New York at all, of course, but Sweden: a life-size replica of Harlem in a forest in the west of the country, near Gothenburg. The asphalt and snow are real enough, but nearly everything else is fake. The streets are void of people and cars; the store fronts are life-size photographs, printed on canvas and hung on steel frames. Welcome to the Potemkin village: a place of clones, impostors, facsimiles, frauds. Maybe don’t plan to stay. — The New York Times
Why is there a life-size replica of Harlem in Sweden? This bizarre space turns out to be a test track for self-driving cars. Why Harlem? Even Austrian artist Gregor Sailer who photographed the space doesn't know. Sailer traveled around the world to capture 25 of these false architectural... View full entry

Scale replica of Lichfield Cathedral made by farmer out of straw
By Archinect
Oct 8, '12 8:22 PM EST
A team of faithful farmers have built a scale model of Lichfield Cathedral - out of straw.
The monument, which stands 50ft tall, 74ft long and 14ft wide, took three weeks to complete before it was unveiled yesterday.
Farmer Rob Gray, 50, decided to build the replica of 12th century Lichfield Cathedral which is near his 250-acre sheep farm in Whittington, Staffordshire. — dailymail.co.uk

Copying is good for design
Feb 6, '12 1:59 PM EST
In pre-industrial days, copying used to be a positive act. It was seen as a skill. Artists were looked upon as handworkers. Copying became a negative notion with the cult of the individual artist and the arrival of mass production, which made replication extremely cheap and easy. Copyright and intellectual property laws were created to protect the original. In those days, the amount of new products reaching the market was relatively small. — rennyramakers.com

Church needs to review policies and co-operate fully with police, says Armstrong
Posted on March 2, 2018 June 5, 2019
Alliance MLA Kellie Armstrong has said the Catholic Church needs to engage in a full and comprehensive review of its past policies and practices, and engage in full disclosure and co-operation with the police in relation to sexual abuse allegations.
The call comes after Bishop John McAreavey stepped down after it was revealed he said Mass for Father Malachy Finnegan, who died in 2002. Finnegan, the former president of St Colman’s College in Newry, has been accused of sexual abuse by 12 people, as well as a catalogue of physical and emotional abuse against pupils.
The PSNI has now established a dedicated investigation team to investigate complaints against Finnegan.
“Victims should be able to come forward in safety and get the support they need,” said Ms Armstrong.
“The Church must take responsibility and reveal to the police what they know about physical and sexual abuse perpetrated by priests, and any other people associated with responsibility or authority within its organisation and schools.
“The Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry, despite looking at a number of institutions, did not investigate such abuse at schools. The financial compensation system established as a result of this inquiry should also look at these cases and establish whether a similar scheme should be put in place for victims and survivors.”

Weighing Scale Terminology
Weighing Scale - A device used to determine weight. Weighing scales are divided into two main categories: Spring Scales and Balance Beam Scales. Balance beam type scales are the oldest type and measure weight using a fulcrum or pivot and a lever with the unknown weight placed on one end of the lever, and a counterweight applied to the other end. When the lever is balanced, the unknown weight and the counterweight are equal. Spring scales were introduced in the 1760's as a more compact alternative to the popular steelyard balance. Spring scales work based on the principal of the spring which deforms in proportion to the weight placed on the load receiving end. Strain gauge scales became popular in the 1960's and used a special type of spring called a load cell. Strain gauge scales are the most commonly used in todays market but electronic force restoration balances are used in laboratory and high precision applications.
Accuracy - The degree to which a measurement relates to its actual (true) value. Accuracy is a hot topic of debate in the weighing industry as the usage of the term varies between weighing professionals. Accuracy is usually stated as a percentage and it is important to determine if the percentage is that of full scale (%FS) or that of actual reading (%AR). All measuring devices have some degree of inaccuracy since infinite precision can never be achieved. Some of the primary factors contributing to scale accuracy are readability, repeatability, linearity, and uncertainty of measurement. The accuracy of a weighing device can only be determined by direct testing of the device at its intended location of use. Usually when the term accuracy is applied to scales, the intended meaning is inaccuracy. So, if a scale manufacturer claims an accuracy of 1%F.S., they mean the scale should have an error of less than 1% of full scale if the scale has been properly adjusted.
High Accuracy,
Low Precision
Repeatability (also Precision) – This is a scale's ability to show consistent results under the same conditions. To determine a scale's repeatability, a test weight should be weighed ten or more times in a consistent manner. The resulting values are recorded and used to calculate the standard deviation. This standard deviation value is used to express repeatability.
Reproducibility – This is the scale's ability to show consistent results under changed conditions.
High Precision,
Low Accuracy
Adjustment (also Calibration Adjustment) - The set of operations carried out on a measuring system so that it provides prescribed indications corresponding to given values of a quantity to be measured. Scales are subject to constant wear and tear which over time can degrade accuracy. Adjustment corrects a scales accuracy so that it is within the tolerance applied to the device. Many times people refer to calibration when they actually mean adjustment. Calibration only refers to the process of measuring a known standard to determine the error of a scale's measurements.
Calibration (also Cal)- The set of operations that establish, under specified conditions, the relationship between the values of quantities indicated by a measuring instrument and the corresponding values realized by reference standards. Basically, calibration is the process of weighing a known weight on a scale and noting the discrepency (if any) on the display. Calibration should not be confused with adjustment of a measuring system. (see Adjustment)
Maximum Capacity (also Max Capacity, Max, Rated Capacity) - This is the maximum weight that can be measured using a particular scale. When selecting a scale, the heaviest item you plan to weigh should be within the scale's maximum capacity limits. It is a good idea to select a scale with slightly more capacity than you will need to avoid overloading. However, the higher the capacity is on a scale, the lower the readability typically will be. Therefore, you should avoid selecting a scale with too much capacity.
Readability (also Resolution, Scale Division, Scale Interval, Increment, Digit, d) – On electronic and digital scales, this is the smallest change in mass that corresponds to a change in displayed value. In other words, this is the amount that the scale will increment by as weight is added or removed. On analog (mechanical) scales, this is the smallest subdivision of the scale dial or beam for analog indication. Example:
152.358g is weighed on a scale with 0.001g readability
The display will read "152.358g".
152.358g is weighed on a scale with 0.01g readability
The display will read "152.36g"
Readability should not be confused with accuracy which is a separate concept. When properly calibrated and adjusted, most scales will be accurate to within plus or minus two scale divisions (+/-2d), though this can vary depending on individual specifications.
Verification Scale Interval (also Verification Scale Division, e) - This is the smallest scale interval that can be used to determine price based on weight in commercial transactions for a particular scale. The value of the verification scale interval (e) is determined by the scale manufacturer when submitting a device for type approval through a program such as NTEP (or CE for EU countries). Many times, a scale will have a verification scale interval that is different than the normal or actual scale interval. For instance, the scale could be capable of displaying in increments of 0.01g, but its verification scale interval is specified as 0.1g. In this situation, you could only charge a customer based on 0.1g increments although the scale has the ability to display 0.01g increments. This is why some manufacturers place brackets around the last digit to indicate that it should be omitted when calculating a price based on weight.
Uncertainty of Measurement – This is a parameter that is used to state the quality of a measurement. Because no measuring instrument is 100% accurate, scientists and researchers use measurement uncertainty to express the distribution of errors associated with a measurement. There are various methods employed to calculate and express measurement uncertainty.
Accuracy Class- Weighing Devices are classified into groups according to the number of scale divisions (n) and the value of the scale division (d or e). The accuracy classes are meant to determine the intended area of use for a particular scale.

NTEP Approval – NTEP is a program administered by NCWM for evaluating weighing devices for their conformity to NIST Handbook 44. Scales that pass NTEP certification are deemed “legal for trade” and can be used in commercial transactions based on weight. When a device is submitted to NTEP, extensive testing is performed to insure it meets the tolerance requirements that apply to its accuracy class. A Certificate of Conformance is issued to a scale manufacturer upon successful completion of testing. You can search the complete database of issued Certificates of Conformance by following this link: http://www.ncwm.net/certificates
Approval Seal - A label, tag, stamped or etched impression, or the like, indicating official approval of a device. This is placed on a legal for trade scale after it has been inspected and shown to perform within the acceptable tolerances for it's accuracy class. A local "sealer" from the Department of Weights and Measures will periodically conduct inspections of scales used in commercial transactions similar to how they inspect and seal gas pumps being used in commercial transactions at your local gas station. This is why it is important for businesses that use scales in commercial transactions to purchase one that is NTEP approved and have it professionally calibrated periodically. If a local sealer believes that your business may be using a scale to provide goods or services, they may conduct a random inspection. If a non-NTEP approved scale is being used, they may impose heavy fines and require that the owner purchase an NTEP approved scale before they can conduct business. If an NTEP approved scale is found to be out of calibration, the device may be labeled "out of service" by the sealer until it has its calibration properly adjusted and the owner may be fined, especially if the scale is found to be weighing in their favor.
Calibration Certificate - A Calibration Certificate is a document provided and signed by a calibration technician that documents the completion of a successful calibration. The certificate will typically list the standard that was used to calibrate the device and provides traceability to the internationally defined standard. Calibration certificates for weighing devices can only be issued by testing the device at the site in which it will be used. This is due to the change of local gravitational acceleration which can vary as much as 0.5% at various locations around the world. Calibration certificate is no longer valid if the device is shipped to another location.
Load-Receiving Element - That element of a scale that is designed to receive the load to be weighed; for example, platform, deck, rail, hopper, platter, plate, scoop. The dimensions of the load-receiving element or platform should be considered when selecting a scale. You can often use a scale with a platform slightly smaller than the object(s) being weighed as long as the load is stable and does not lean against anything except the load-receiving element, and is under the scales max capacity. You can also use an expansion tray or container to effectively increase the size of the weighing platform or load-receiving element on smaller, compact scale.
Electromagnetic Force Restoration (also EMFR, Force Motor) – Traditional equal arm balances work on the principal of the fulcrum and lever. An unknown mass is placed on a pan at one end of a lever, while a set of known masses or test weights are placed on a pan at the other end to create a balance. Electromagnetic force restoration balances also use a lever system but a magnetic field is used to generate the force on the opposite end of the lever and balance out the unknown mass. The current used to drive the magnetic coil is proportional to the mass of the object placed on the platform. Most analytical and laboratory balances are of the EMFR type. EMFR balances are characterized by high accuracy, high repeatability, and high complexity compared to other weighing sensors.
Load Cell - A load cell is a type of transducer that converts force into an electrical signal. Strain gauge based load cells are the most common type. They consist of (in most cases) four strain gauges that are attached to a beam or other structure. As weight is added to the load receiving end, the beam or structure deforms. When load cells first emerged, they were mainly used for industrial applications where courser resolutions were suitable. Today though, modern advancements in weighing technology have made load cells capable of much higher resolutions. Load cells are characterized by high durability, high reliability, and low cost.
Internal Statement Number (also Inner Code, ISN) – In load cell based scales, this is the raw count from the scale's ADC(analog-to-digital converter). This value increases and decreases in proportion to the weight added or removed from the platform. The ISN is usually displayed during calibration adjustment.
Weight - The force that results from the action of gravity on matter.
Mass - The measure of the amount of matter in a body.
Mass vs. Weight - In everyday situations, when people refer to mass and weight, they mean the same thing. In scientific situations, weight and mass represent different quantities. The weight of an object is the magnitude, W, of the force of gravity on that object and is proportional to its mass.
Kilogram, "kg" - the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI Units). It is equal to the mass of the International Prototype Kilogram (IPK).
Place Values For Grams
International Prototype Kilogram, "IPK" - The kilogram was originally the mass of a cubic decimeter of water. In 1889, the 1st CGPM sanctioned the international prototype of the kilogram, made of platinum-iridium, and declared: This prototype shall henceforth be considered to be the unit of mass .The International Prototype Kilogram is stored and maintained at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (French Abbreviation: BIPM) along with its six official copies. The kilogram is the only SI unit still defined by a physical artifact. Efforts are being made though to produce a future, more stable kilogram standard that can be reproduced in a laboratory using written specifications. One such project uses a sphere of a specific number of silicon atoms to define the kilogram. Experiments from this project have produced some of the most near-perfect man-made spheres to date. Other projects use an electronic approach, such as the NIST's watt balance which measures the electric power necessary to oppose the weight of a kilogram test under earth's gravity.
Gross Weight - The total weight of the object being weighed including its vehicle, packaging, or container. Gross weight is typically required for calculating the shipping or transportation charge.
Net Weight - The weight of an object being weighed, discounting the weight of its vehicle, packaging, or container. Net weight is useful for calculating the charge, tax, or payment required for items.
Tare Weight - The weight of an empty vehicle, package, or container. Tare weight is sometimes written on the outside of railcars or shipping and packing containers for quick determination of the net weight during weighing operations.
Average Piece Weight (also APW) – On counting scales, this is determined by dividing the weight by the number of samples on the platform. Counting scales work on the assumption that the parts being counted are all of uniform weight.
Tare Mechanism - A mechanism (including a tare bar) designed for determining or balancing out the weight of packing material, containers, vehicles, or other materials that are not intended to be included in net weight determinations. Most electronic scales have a tare button or feature which is used to reset the display value to zero when a container is placed on its load-receiving element. If the vehicle or container is then filled, the displayed weight will be that of the contents alone (see Net Weight). If the vehicle or container and its contents are removed from the scale, a negative weight value is typically displayed equal in absolute value to the Tare Weight.
Zero-Setting Mechanism - Means provided to attain a zero balance indication with no load on the load-receiving element. Three types used in scales are:
Automatic Zero-Tracking Mechanism (also Auto Zero) - Automatic means provided to maintain the zero balance indication within certain limits, without intervention of an operator. Environmental conditions as well as internal noise on the circuit can cause the scale's display to drift. The auto zero feature helps to eliminate these unwanted changes in display output and insures that the scale is properly zeroed before each weighing. However, the auto zero feature can be a problem when trying to weigh very small amounts that within the auto-zero range. For instance, if a scale has an auto-zero range of 0.2g and you place less than 0.2g on the scale, the display will not change.
Manual Zero-Setting Mechanism - Nonautomatic means provided to attain a zero balance indication by the direct operation of a control.
Semiautomatic Zero-Setting Mechanism - Automatic means provided to attain a zero balance indication requiring a single initiation by an operator.
Span - The distance between adjoining sections of a scale.
Types of Weighing Scales
Analytical Balance - One which measures mass to a very high degree of precision and accuracy. Most analytical balances have a scale division of 0.1mg or better (0.0001g).
Animal Scale - A scale designed for weighing single heads of livestock.
Checkweighing Scale - One used to verify predetermined weight within prescribed limits. These scales are typically used in weighing operations where the operator must fill and weigh a product to ensure uniform weight. Some checkweighers will activate remote switches or sound a buzzer when the target weight has been met.
Counting Scale - One used to weigh multiple objects of uniform weight and display a total piece count.
Computing Scale - One that indicates the money values of amounts of commodity weighed, at predetermined unit prices, throughout all or part of the weighing range of the scale.
Crane Scale - One with a nominal capacity of 5000 pounds or more designed to weigh loads while they are suspended freely from an overhead, track-mounted crane.
Jewelers' Scale - One adapted to weighing gems and precious metals
Microbalance - A special balance which has a readability of 1 microgram (1µg) or better. A microgram is one millionth of a gram (0.000001g). These devices require special care to minimize weighing errors associated with weighing quantities.
Multi-Interval Scale (also Multi-Range, Dual Range) - A scale having one weighing range which is divided into partial weighing ranges (segments), each with different scale intervals, with each partial weighing range (segment) determined automatically according to the load applied, both on increasing and decreasing loads.
Postal Scale - A scale (usually a computing scale) designed for use to determine shipping weight or delivery charges for letters or parcels delivered by the U.S. Postal Service or private shipping companies. A weight classifier may be used as a postal scale.
Point-of-Sale Scale - scale used to complete a direct sales transaction.
Prescription Scale - A scale or balance adapted to weighing the ingredients of medicinal and other formulas prescribed by physicians and others used or intended to be used in the ordinary trade of pharmacists.
Vehicle Scale - A scale adapted to weighing highway, farm, or other large industrial vehicles (except railroad freight cars), loaded or unloaded.
Weight Classifier - A scale that rounds weight values up to the next scale division. Normal scales have a "breakpoint" midway between scale intervals. A weight that falls between the scale intervals may round up or down to the nearest scale interval. Since weight classifiers are meant to be used in postal and shipping applications, the breakpoint for displayed weight is at the scale interval rather than between. Any partial unit of resolution above a given weight is rounded up to the next scale interval. Example:
Normal rounding instrument with e=d=0.1 will indicate:
1.0 if the load is 0.96 to 1.04, and
1.1 if the load is 1.06 to 1.14.
Postal or shipping weight classifier instruments with e=d=0.1 will indicate:
Wheel-Load Weigher - Compact, self-contained, portable weighing elements specially adapted to determining the wheel loads or axle loads of vehicles on highways for the enforcement of highway weight laws only.
Sources of Error in Weighing Instruments
Environmental Factors - A scale's accuracy and precision are highly dependent on the environment in which it is installed. Several environmental factors can affect the scales measurement including:
Air Currents / drafts - These account for most large random errors. Be sure to use your weighing device in an area free of any drafts or air currents that may affect the weight readout. On high precision analytical balances (0.1mg or better), glass draft shields are required. Care should also be taken when weighing objects that are hot or cold inside a draft chamber. The effect of convection currents can make cold objects appear heavier, and hot objects appear lighter.
Air Buoyancy - The upward force, caused by atmospheric pressure. The net upward buoyancy force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of air displaced by an object. Air buoyancy is mostly a concern when weighing objects of relatively low density.
Temperature - Spring scales and load cell scales deflect at a lower rate and consequently perform poorly under cold conditions. Most springs and load cells are temperature compensated to counteract this source of error to a degree. The scale should always be used within the manufacturer's recommended operating temperature. For most scales this is between 32°F and 104°F. When moving a scale from one climate to another, you should allow the internal components to acclimate their new environment before performing calibration.
Zero Error - Occurs when the weighing curve shifts by a constant amount. For the most part, you can avoid this error by using the re-zero function before performing a weighing.
Sensitivity Error - Quotient of the change in an indication of a measuring system and the corresponding change in a value of a quantity being measured. Sensitivity of a measuring system can depend on the value of a quantity being measured increasing linearly with heavier loads. Sensitivity errors can occur from temperature drift, aging, adjusting with an incorrect calibration weight, or incorrect compensation of an off-center load error.
Linearity - This is the ability of a scale's characteristic curve to approximate a straight line. Linearity can be tested by weighing several test weights of increasing value up to maximum capacity and plotting them as points in a graph. The linearity would be the maximum amount that the points deviate from a straight line going from zero to max capacity.
Random Error - The sample standard deviation of the error (indicated values) for a number of consecutive automatic weighings of a load, or loads, passed over the load receptor, shall be expressed mathematically as:

Roof Complete!
It is both exciting and sad to say that a project is complete– but after six months, 200 squares of wood shingles, 10 copper roofs, and six brick chimneys the roof work at Beauport is finally complete. And what a winter to test it! But don’t worry… there is still more to come. The projects outlined in 2011 include more window conservation (of course!), structural masonry work, and landscape repairs to the east gardens. Stay tuned!
Filed under Masonry, Roof Replacement
Drum Chimney Repaired
This past October and November, the masons repaired the sixth and final chimney at Beauport– the Drum Chimney. We liked to say that we saved the best for last, but the masons liked to joke that it was the worst (shape) for last. It is not the most decorative of the six chimneys; it doesn’t have as many flues as the other chimneys; but it is largest of the chimneys.
The Drum Chimney before work
The name of the Drum Chimney comes from its shape–three tiers with a series of open arches at the top and low relief arches below. There are many great features about this chimney– the base is exposed to grade on one side and a beautiful directional weathervane sits on top. The Drum Chimney has two flues–one for a large “Colonial-inspired” room called the Pine Kitchen and one for the oven in the working kitchen.
Water staining at the fireplace
Water has been a problem at this chimney for quite some time. Staining is found on the right corner of the fireplace and many of the iron collection pieces are slowly rusting. The photo above also shows packing peanuts on the ground. These were used in the early 1990s as a way to insulate the chimney and try to minimize condensation issues. Unfortunately, this solution did not work and the peanuts were removed… although some still show up after a particularly bad storm.
During the chimney investigation, several issues were discovered. The majority of the top tier included large, open cracks and the base had several areas of spalling bricks. The flashing, like all of the other chimneys, had been installed very low. In addition, the space between the top tier and the second tier included a copper cap that was merely caulked in place. The caulk had deteriorated and the cap had pulled away from the sides, which allowed water to enter the chimney easily.
Area of rebuilding
After the investigation, it was decided to rebuild the top 21 courses of brick– basically from the large crack above the bricked in arches to the top of the chimney. The directional was removed and the masons got to work…. As soon as dismantling begun, however, the chimney started to cave in and break apart. Indicating that the chimney was actually in a lot worse shape than originally hoped.
The rebuilding from the base up
In the end, the masons had to dismantle another three feet down to the square base of the chimney and rebuild. An additional wythe was added to the interior of the second tier shaft for better stability, a new cap was installed and mounted in concrete, and the weathervane was re-installed with a longer pole to minimize the resistance from the wind, which can cause stress fractures. The arches were measured and carefully dismantled, though many bricks could not be reused.
Additional work at the chimney
In addition to the rebuilding of the top, the spalled bricks were replaced and the flashing was altered slightly. Similar to the other chimneys repaired, the existing flashing was left in place and new flashing was installed one to two brick courses higher. When the new roof was installed, new copper step flashing was slipped under the old lead flashing–leaving a triple-flashed chimney.

Roof Final Phase
It is always sad to see a tour season end at Beauport, but the guide team dusted off the drapes and covered the chairs to close the house up for the winter. The house will re-open for tours on June 1, 2011.
But the end of the tour season does not mean work stops at the house- in fact now the carpenters have taken over the front of the house to work on the final phase of the roofing project. The work will continue through December.

Tight Quarters
Beauport began in 1907 as a ‘small’ summer cottage–roughly 12 rooms– for Henry Davis Sleeper and his mother, Maria Westcott Sleeper. As interior design commissions came in, Sleeper continued to add to the house over the next 27 years–until he virtually ran out of land.
To the north of Beauport was the Colonial Arms, a massive 300 room luxury hotel in the Greek Revival style, which blocked most of Sleeper’s northern views. Mysteriously, the entire hotel burned to the ground in 1908 and the plot sat vacant until the 1920s when Fredrick and Evelyn Hall built “Stone Acre”, a large Victorian constructed out of field stone and topped with beautiful blue-gray slate.
Sleeper continued to build to the north and constructed one of the last rooms in the house called the North Gallery in 1925. The Hall’s decided that the only way to stop Sleeper from building over their property line was to construct their own outbuilding and a large stone wall. The two buildings and stone wall lay within inches of each other– and in one section actually touch.
It’s a good story to tell but the area is actually extremely difficult to work within.
The Beauport roof line is within inches of the neighbor's slate roof.
A stone wall was also built along the property line. Beauport's roof line actually touches the wall.
The roofers had to work within very tight quarters to re-shingle at this area-- even using the stone wall as a makeshift tool bench.

Terrace Elevation Roof Nearly Complete!
With the daunting task of a 200 square (20,000 square foot) roof, one of the biggest questions was: Where do we start?! Although the question may seem simple, the conditions of the site are complicated. The Beauport museum is open to the public on Tuesday through Saturday from June 1 through October 15— pretty much in the middle of prime construction season– and we did not want to close the site at all during the work. So, not only did the roofers have to deal with Historic New England staff but also 5000 summer visitors.
Because of the work, most of the summer programs were pushed into August and September, therefore the crew took the opportunity during the months of June and July to begin with one of the most sensitive areas–the terrace (west) elevation. Once this elevation was completed, the crew could move to the north side of the building away from the terraces during the events while also avoiding the front entrance on the east elevation where the tours begin.

Removing the massive amount of shingles at the terrace elevation.
The roofers would only remove areas that could be re-shingled within a week. Once the shingles were removed paper was used to keep the area water tight.

Bishop’s Cap Chimney Repaired
The roof and masonry work is in full swing now. It is exciting to see some work completed– especially with the pesky chimneys. Beauport includes six decorative chimneys— all of which are experiencing leaks. The masons have completed two of the six chimneys and are currently prepping two others for work. This is the story of Bishop’s Cap Chimney–
The Bishop’s Cap name comes from the fact that the cap takes on the appearance of a bishop’s hat. It provides two flues for fireplaces located in the China Trade Room on the first floor and the Strawberry Hill Room on the second floor. In order to understand the issues with this chimney a thorough investigation was conducted. The interior spaces were inspected to see where and how the leaks were forming. In one of the rooms next to this chimney a significant amount of plaster work has cracked and failed indicating severe moisture infiltration. On the exterior, cracking can be seen in both the cap and the lead flashing. The scope of work for repairs included– re-parging cap; spot repointing the base; and repairs to the lead flashing.
The Bishop’s Cap Chimney before work started.
A conditions assessment was conducted on the interior and exterior to determine repair options.
The issues included cracking at the cap and lead flashing.
The chimney was thoroughly cleaned so that the crew could reapir the cracks.
The cracks in the cap were scored and cleaned. The base of the chimney was protected during the work.
New parging was applied and smoothed out.
The cap was covered with a canvas cloth to slow down the drying process. This helps prevent cracking in the new material.

Corticosterone (CORT) is the dominant plasma glucocorticoid in birds. There has been increasing interest in the function of CORT in avian egg yolk and in the potential to use CORT concentrations in eggs to quantify stress and to assess the effect of maternal stress on offspring. The concentration of CORT in egg yolk is most frequently assessed using enzyme or radioimmunoassays, alone or in combination with high-performance liquid chromatography. However, the quantification of CORT is frequently hampered by the presence of high concentrations of other steroid hormones which crossreact with the CORT antibody. As an alternative, we developed a sensitive and specific LC–MS–MS method. The sample-preparation procedure consisted of a protein–lipid precipitation step, followed by defatting and clean-up using a C18 SPE column. Chromatography was performed on an Acquity C18 BEH column (50 mm×2.1 mm i.d., dp: 1.7 μm, run-time: 6 min), using 0.1 % formic acid in both water (A) and acetonitrile (B) as mobile phases. The MS–MS instrument was operated in the positive-electrospray-ionization mode. The method was validated in-house according to European Guidelines (linearity, accuracy and precision, limits of quantification and detection, specificity, stability) and the results fell within the accepted ranges. The method was successfully used for the analysis of CORT in yolk and albumen of eggs collected from eight breeding lesser black-backed gulls at a Flemish coastal colony. CORT concentrations were in the range 42.4–166.3 pg g−1 in albumen and<LOQ (75 pg g−1)–762.5 pg g−1 in yolk.

Lithocolletis messaniella.
In Britain a third larva generation has been found in the period December – March; the hibernating larvae do exclusively occur on Quercus ilex, that keeps its foliage during winter. How the species hibernates in regions without wintergreen oaks is unclear (Emmet, 1975b)
The mines illustrated above stem from a similar winter generation; Q. x turneri is a hybrid between Q. ilex and Q. robur and keeps its leaves during winter. Young mines, with active larvae, were found January 20th, kept in an unheated room, and provided pupae a month later.
Gregor & Patočka (2001a) wrote that the cocoon of the winter generation is almost entirely covered with frass. This does not apply to the Dutch material.
The species has been introduced into New Zealand and Australia, and has turned out as and aggressive invasive. The species not only lives on oaks there but also on other genera, viz. Nothofagus; it is considered a pest (New, 1981a).

The Judiciary is the third arm of Government, under the doctrine of separation of powers. The other two are the Legislature, which makes the law and the Executive, which enforces the law.
The Judiciary is constitutionally supposed to:
Administer justice through resolving disputes between citizens and between the State and citizens;
Interpret the Constitution and the laws of Uganda; promote the rule of law and to contribute to the maintenance of order in society;
Protect human rights of individuals and groups;
Initiate, develop and implement training programmes for the development of the Judiciary staff;
Contribute to the enforcement of law and order;
Enroll and license Advocates;
License and discipline Court Brokers;
Keep custody of laws enacted as well as disseminate legal literature;
Receive Government revenue accruing from courts; and
Introduce modalities for out of court dispute resolution mechanisms to reduce the burden of cases on the courts.
This places the Judiciary at the heart of the system of justice, to settle disputes between individuals and or organizations and to conduct trials when violations of law are presented. Accordingly article 126(2) of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda spells out the following five principles to be followed in the administration of justice namely:
Justice shall be done to all irrespective of their social or economic status;
Justice shall not be delayed;
Adequate compensation shall be awarded to victims of wrong;
Reconciliation between parties shall be promoted; and
Substantive justice shall be administered without undue regard to technicalities.
Under the doctrine of separation of powers, Parliament is the arm of Government, which makes laws to be implemented by the Judiciary. In that regard, Parliament determines the establishments of courts subordinate to the High Court and may determine to increase the number of judges and justices to sit in the Supreme, Appeal/Constitutional, and High Court above the constitutionally defined minimums.
Parliament is also entrusted to make provisions for the jurisdiction and procedures of those courts. In addition, Parliament makes laws providing for the structures, procedures and functions of the Judiciary. Aware that the Judiciary is independent and not controlled by any person or authority, Parliament can only make provisions for the jurisdiction and procedure of courts and decide on the number of judges.
The Uganda Judiciary has undergone tremendous changes since the turn of the last century to the present time. In that regard, following the enactment of the 1995 Constitution, the Judiciary structure has been redefined to consist of the following courts:
Supreme Court;
Court of Appeal/Constitutional Court;
High Court;
Chief Magistrates Courts;
Grade I Magistrate's Courts;
Grade II Magistrate's Courts;
The Local Council Courts;
Family and Children Courts and Land.
The Judiciary is faced with many challenges brought about by social, economic, environmental, political, technological and global changes in addition to those emanating from the 1995 Constitution changes. To meet these challenges the Judiciary has redefined its mission statement and core values and articulated a new vision on which the future trajectory of the organization is based. The Uganda Judiciary's mission statement for the period 2006/7-2010/11 is: To dispense justice to all people in Uganda, through timely adjudication of disputes without discrimination.

This Massive Information Breach should be an Eye-Opener
July 12, 2019 | Data Breach, Privileged Identities
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) must have been embarrassed to be in the news of being a victim of data breach. However, the fact is, this “unexpected” incident has reminded the cyber world that there is no organization in the world which is foolproof against cyber-crime. Moreover, it has also brought to the forefront why there is an urgent need to shore up IT infra with adequate safeguards as the recent incident shows that the data breach remained undetected for about 10 months.
How NASA was breached?
The hacker used Raspberry Pi, a small credit-card sized computer, to steal data from Jet Propulsion Lab. This special research and development unit consists of sensitive and confidential records of research details. The attacker, who is still undetected, stealthily got access to the internal network and compromised data of about 500MB including 23 files. These files consisted of International records of Arms and Traffic control system and sensitive records of Mars science laboratory research reports -- too lucrative information for the malicious actor to resist.
Raspberry Pi was initially developed as an educational tool as a handy computer which could make the users learn. However, the cyber crooks misused it with malicious intentions and NASA was the victim. The hacker managed to get entry to the “secured” network illegally by creating a fake portal through which the confidential files of Jet Propulsion Lab were accessed.
How could it have been prevented?
NASA, where data security mechanism is supposed to be highly stringent, have already received a big blow with this unprecedented breach. Forensic analysis later showed that there were no proper controls to monitor and detect unusual behavior around critical IT systems.
A robust access control mechanism in the Jet propulsion Lab network could have averted this disaster. The major security loophole found was that NASA administrators were completely unaware that Raspberry Pi accessed its network. This happens only when identity and access control mechanism, including the management of privileged accounts, gateway to sensitive information, is weak.
Identification of risky privilege entitlements and identities is a must to secure sensitive data in today’s critical IT security scenario. In the absence of unmonitored and uncontrolled user access to IT infra, malicious insiders or third-party malefactors have ample scope to compromise the data. Hence, it is highly crucial to maintain a proper role and rule-based privileged access to the target systems.
Now, the question which pops is whether NASA is adopting relevant security measures to mitigate any further breaches? Today, due to the stringency of regulatory compliance acts (eg. EU-GDPR, PCI-DSS, SWIFT CSCF, HIPAA), data security has become extremely crucial.
The bottom-line
The investigation report recommends NASA to monitor its network infrastructure in real time and tighten up admin control policies something which ARCON has been advocating.
Indeed, Privileged Access Management (PAM), in a nutshell, has become an indispensable tool to predict, protect and prevent security risks in an enterprise network. In a shared and distributed environment where thousands of privileged users, both insiders and outside partners/ third-parties, access privileged accounts multiple times with various reasons anytime, requires seamless monitoring of the privileged activities to detect each and every suspicious activity. The security breach incident of NASA should be a big eye-opener for global IT security pros.

1. PARETO TYPE DISTRIBUTIONS AND EXCESS-OF-LOSS REINSURANCE
by Werner Hürlimann
To be consistent with Extreme Value Theory the pricing of excess-of-loss reinsurance contracts should be based on Pareto type distributions. In this context, two recent Pareto type distributions are considered and compared. The state of a geometric Brownian motion after an exponentially distributed random time with log-normally distributed initial state generates a four-parameter Pareto type distribution, called double Pareto lognormal distribution. It has been introduced by Reed and Jorgensen and exhibits two-sided power-law behaviour. On the other hand, the mixture of a truncated exponential distribution in the lower-tail with a Pareto distribution in the upper-tail generates another analytical simple four-parameter Pareto type distribution, called exponential Pareto distribution. The statistical fitting of these two models is illustrated with a large claims data set and its application to the pricing of excess-of-loss reinsurance in actuarial science is illustrated. As a main result, it is shown that the selected best fitted right-tailed Pareto lognormal distribution with minimum Cramér-von Mises K-statistics yields the safest mean and standard deviation of excess-of-loss reinsurance layer risks. The corresponding method is useful for conservative excess-of-loss reinsurance pricing.

2. FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF A WELDING TRANSFORMER
by Antônio Flavio Licarião Nogueira
The study introduces the detailed sequence of operations necessary to determine the self- and mutual inductances of power transformers from numerically simulated open-circuit and bucking experiments. Parameters of a welding style transformer are compared to those of a normal step-down transformer of equivalent ratings. The investigation identifies the different patterns of magnetic flux circulation when the two transformers operate with rated load. Implications of the high reactance of welding transformers on the consumption of reactive power and power factor are analyzed.
3. ASSESSMENT OF A CLOSED DUMPSITE AND ITS IMPACT ON SURFACE AND GROUNDWATER INTEGRITY: A CASE OF OKE AFA DUMPSITE, LAGOS, NIGERIA
by Salami L., Fadayini M.O. & Madu C.
The assessment of a closed dumpsite and investigation of its impact on surface and groundwater integrity is very crucial to health and environment. This research work was aimed at assessing OkeAfa dumpsite and its impact on surface and groundwater integrity in the vicinity of the dumpsite. Soil samples were collected from five different locations on the dumpsite at the surface, at a depth of 0.5m and at a depth of 1.0m. Five different groundwater samples were collected at various radial distances from the dumpsite and five different surface water samples along the dumpsite were collected. All the samples were examined for zinc, lead, nickel, copper, chromium, iron, magnesium, calcium, manganese, sodium and potassium as well as biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand in the case of ground and surface water. The results showed that closed dumpsite has no serious impact on the ground and surface water quality. It also revealed the concentrations of parameters analysed did not follow a particular tread. The results of the groundwater samples fall within the guideline for drinking water by World Health Organisation and National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control but there was a scarcity of guideline for soil of closed dumpsites for the purpose of comparison.
4. NEW NONCLASSICAL FULLERENES WITH MIXED SQUARE AND OCTAGONAL FACES
by Tchoffo F., Zekeng S. & Ndjaka J.M.
Up to date a certain number of computational works have been carried out on nonclassical fullerenes with either four-, seven- or eight-membered rings for each case. Basically, for those with heptagonal rings the isolated pentagon rule (IPR) is not satisfied. As far as some nonclassical fullerenes are more stable than the corresponding classical isomers with the same number of pentagonal bonds, their study seems to be very important. We present some new nonclassical fullerenes derived from classical one which verify the IPR rule and are specifically characterised by their mixed four-, five-, six- and eight-membered rings, e.i. their geometric structure presents mixed square, pentagonal, hexagonal and octagonal faces. The paper is mainly focus on these new nonclassical fullerenes geometric characterizations.
5. WEB PROTOTYPE FOR DISPLAY INFORMATION OF VILLAGE PROFILE, A CASE STUDY IN THE VILLAGES UNDER ASSISTANCE BY GORONTALO STATE UNIVERSITY

This research is aimed to design a prototype website contains profile of villages under Gorontalo State University (UNG) assistance. It is designed modularly to enrich the data served in UNG’s website. This is important considering the implementation of four pillars of UNG which one of it, is totally IT based to be able to manage its documents and implement the ‘TridharmaPerguruanTinggi’ (three universities deeds) especially implementation of community services. In this sense, it is serving as the database for all community services that have been done by UNG. For these villages the information serves to open opportunity to share eksternal resources to strengthen the villages institution, optimization of villages resources, capacity development of villagers, and sustainability of village governance which globally presented, which eventually improve the promotion of villages resources.
This research is made with prototype that enables sustainable development of information systems and adjusted toadaptively with current development of information technology. It is planned to be carried out in two years and first year output is a database and website contained these villages’ profile. Website prototype result from this research in the first year is make possible to develop a geographical information system in second year,with a little modification in database and the interfaces.
6. THE ETHICAL RULES OF AUDITING AND THE IMPACT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE ETHICAL RULES ON AUDITING QUALITY
by Hasan Flayyeh Al qtaish, Abed Al Rahman Mohammad Baker & Othman Hussein Othman
The aim of this study was to identify the concept of ethical rules for the auditing profession and the concept of auditing quality and analyzing the impact of compliance with the rules on the quality of audit, and then make recommendations for the development of the audit process by measuring and analyzing the impact of the commitment of professional ethics auditors on audit quality. To achieve the objectives of the study were developed questionnaire included 37 questions distributed to a sample of auditors practitioners of the audit profession and numbered (59) auditors, have been recovered, (54) of them were collected, underwent all the analysis, one sample t-test and regression were used to test the hypotheses study. Researchers found : that there is the impact of a high degree of commitment to the auditors professional ethics on the quality of the audit, it turns out that the degree of influence of commitment to professional ethics on the quality of the audit was uneven, where it came from the independence of the auditor in the first place, the auditor's straightening and integrity in second place, and third place efficiency of the auditor, commitment to professional conduct in fourth place, then the auditor's commitment to the confidentiality of information. Finally researchers suggested some of the recommendations of the most important need for the supervisory authorities and the Organization for the audit profession to hold training courses, workshops and seminars on auditing standards and rules of ethics of the audit profession. And activating its role in improving adherence to apply the rules of ethical conduct, and to strengthen its role in supporting the neutrality and independence of the auditor and verification of the efficiency and the level of professional performance.
7. KINETIC ANALYSIS OF AROMATIZATION OF N-HEXANE ON PLATINUM/ALUMINA CATALYST USING THE TIKHONOV REGULARIZATION TECHNIQUE
by Oyinlola Rukayat Oresegun, Aramide Adenike Adesina & Alfred Akpoveta Susu
Tikhonov regularization, which is a new technique for converting time-concentration data into concentration-reaction rate data, was applied to the kinetic analysis of n-hexane aromatization on Platinum/Alumina Catalyst.The technique was used for the conversion of the experimental concentration-time data to rate-concentration data. Due to the ill-posed nature of the problem of obtaining of reaction rates from experimental data, conventional methods will lead to noise amplification of the experimental data. Hence, Tikhonov regularization technique is preferably employed because it is entirely independent of reaction rate models and it also manages to minimize noise amplification, thus, leading to more reliable results. The kinetic parameters obtained by the application of the Nelder-Mead simplex optimization technique to formulated mechanistic models was used to discriminate among rival kinetic models based upon physicochemical criteria and thermodynamic tests to give the rate of conversion of adsorbed hexene-1 to adsorbed methylcyclopentane when hydrogen is adsorbed as a bi-molecular specie as the rate determining step.
8. TRACE METAL DYNAMICS IN SOME LEAFY VEGETABLES CONSUMED IN WARRI, NIGER DELTA REGION OF NIGERIA
by Grace E. Obi-Iyeke
Five common and widely consumed Nigerian leafy vegetables Talinumtriangulare (waterleaf), Amaranthusviridis(African spinach), Ocimumgratissimum(scent leaf), Vernoniaamygdalina (bitterleaf) and Telferiaoccidentalis(pumpkin leaf) collected from Ekpan around the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) refinery were digested and analyzed for trace metal distribution in the leaves and roots using the atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Most of the trace metals analysed (zinc, cadmium, arsenic, iron and lead) were found present in the analyzed sample. The result showed that the levels of iron, lead and zinc ranged from 2.110 to 5.230; 2.890 to 9.999 and 2.801 to 5.821 mg/kg respectively for the roots. The levels of iron, lead and zinc for the leaves respectively ranged from 1.340 to 4.320; 1.321 to 6.871 and 1.340 to 3.014 mg/kg.Values obtained were compared with those available in the literature and within tolerable limits of some regulatory authorities. The bioconcentration factor indicates that the roots of the vegetables concentrate most of the metals than the leaves. The high level of lead in these samples could be attributed to the sampling point which is close to an oil refinery. It is therefore imperative that the operations of oil industry in the study area be sufficiently accompanied by an adequate environmental protection measures.
9. CHEMICAL AND ELECTROCOAGULATION TECHNIQUES IN COAGULATION-FLOCCCULATION IN WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT- A REVIEW
by Ukiwe L.N., Ibeneme S.I, Duru C.E., Okolue B.N., Onyedika G.O. & Nweze C.A.
Chemical and electrocoagulation are widely used coagulation methods employed in water and wastewater treatment. Both coagulation processes are effective in removing a wide range of impurities which include dissolved organic matter in form of chemical and biological oxygen demand, pathogens, oils, and colloidal particles as well as heavy metals. The present review has revealed that the mode of action of both coagulation methods is based on charge neutralization and floc formation. The effectiveness of both coagulation techniques depend on factors such as pH, coagulation dose, coagulant type, current density, applied voltage, water and wastewater type, type of electrode, as well as size and number of electrodes. The commonly used chemical coagulants are inorganic coagulants based on aluminum and iron salts. However, there have been considerable successes in the development of pre-hydrolyzed inorganic coagulants which have the added advantage over traditional inorganic coagulants in that they function well over a wide range of pH and water temperatures. Electrocoagulation has been proposed as an alternative method to chemical coagulation because it is environmental friendly and cheap to operate. Nonetheless, most researchers are of the opinion that there are still some uncertainties regarding the understanding of its optimal performance and design mechanism.
10. PREDICTIVE POWER FOR TWO BINOMIAL POPULATIONS IN CLINICAL TRIALS
by Labdaoui ahlam & Merabet Hayet
The Bayesian approach involves synthesising data and judgement in order to reach conclusions about unknown quantities and make predictions. In recent years, many authors have stressed the interest of the Bayesian predictive approach for designing and monitoring experiments. In the planning and design of new clinical trials, the calculation of the sample size and power is an essential part of the process. Power calculations are usually based on the estimated quantities of the analysis of historical data and are therefore subject to uncertainty. In many cases, this is addressed by the sensitivity analysis but simple sensitivity analysis provides an incomplete picture of the uncertainty of estimates of power. We describe here a Bayesian analysis of historical data in clinical trials using the binary data with a prior beta (a, b), which gives by the generation of the power distribution of a fully probabilistic predictive description of uncertainty in computing power.

I don't think he should be given a death sentence. I reserve that for people who actually kill people directly and intentionally.
I do agree, however, that he should be charged with treason, tried, and sentenced (if found guilty) to an appropriate term of years. For me, that would be about 7-10 years.

"hanged by the neck until dead" I recall stories of random Joes that posted similarly truculent statements on Facebook, and were raided by SWATS and incarcerated for threats and/or terrorism.

That quotation by a person no longer serving in a position to act on it should not be considered a threat because there's no reason to believe that he would follow through on it and he even says it should be a consequence of a conviction. Instead, it's a deeply disturbing and ignorant comment that reveals the dichotomy between the beliefs of those in Top Secret America and the ideals that the US is supposed to stand for.

So, they make it so that there are no whistleblowing channels that aren't controlled by the individuals being reported, then call it treason when the person reporting them goes outside the system instead? I understand that a scattershot document release (which is the sense I've gotten from most sources I've read, but I could be wrong) probably wasn't the best way to disseminate the information that needed to be given to the public, but even after administrative panels the government put together agree that reforms need to be made, we can't accept this person back into the country?
Not that this surprises me at all, it's just that when you look at it all, it's still amazing how screwed up everything with this situation is.

"NSA Director Gen. Keith Alexander dismissed the idea, comparing Snowden to "a hostage taker taking 50 people hostage, shooting 10, and then say[ing], 'You give me full amnesty and I'll let the other 40 go.'"
Well and i just did thought that the ones taking hostages was the NSA, they have all the american population hostage, i mean their personal information, and they are shooting them when they do it without any reason at all, they are doing the shoot now ask later, thats how they are handling things, i think his sub-councious, if he has one, let that out, they way he thinks and behaves is how he makes correlations.
As for "hanged by the neck until dead" remark, if Snowden deserves that, then all the NSA, government and FISC tops, well they will be hanged by the balls (male reproductive organs) until dead.

If they think all violations of law must be punished, it's time to start prosecutions for the warrantless wiretapping the NSA did from 2001-2007, and all the telecoms that voluntarily cooperated. Oh, but they got retroactive immunity didn't they? Because the DNI requested it? So I guess the intelligence community does believe there should be exceptions to the law, just only in their favor.

c3 is an artist-led contemporary art space, located at the Abbotsford Convent arts and culture precinct in Narrm/Melbourne. Established in 2008, the gallery supports open, ambitious (or quiet), personal and critical approaches towards making and experiencing contemporary art. Risk, experimentation and direct audience engagement are encouraged. Central to c3 is the development of professional practice skills, mentorship and opportunities for artists/curators, and a focus on connecting critical practice with a large, diverse audience. The six-room gallery is housed in the main Convent building facing expansive gardens, Birrarung (the Yarra river) and adjacent bush parkland within its inner city location. The site has a multi-layered and complex continuing historical journey: a meeting point for the Wurundjeri and Kulin Nation peoples, settler occupation, a convent, a university, a large multi-practice creative precinct. The gallery has a reciprocal relationship with community, in that it simultaneously builds and is built by community, allowing for an open, nimble and active curatorial vision.

It is a well-known fact that HIV/AIDS patients are vulnerable to many diseases which result in serve morbidity and mortality. The purpose of the study is to assess the prevalence and pattern of intestinal parasites in ART naïve patients.
Field sampling started from July 2012 to July 2013 which included a total of 163 HIV seropositive patients. After taking an informed consent and recorded CD4 date, stool samples were collected for screening of parasites. Two stool samples were collected in two vials, one with formalin and other with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Saline wet mount and Lugols Iodine mount was done by direct microscopy and a formalin ether concentration method to detect ova, trophozoites, cysts, and larvae of intestinal parasites.
A total of 57 (34.9%) patients were found positive from 163 newly registered HIV patients. The prevalence of parasitic infection was more in the age group of 31-40 years in males, where as in females 21-30 years. The most common isolate was Hook worm (29, 50.8%) followed by Isospora (13, 22%) Cryptosporidium (9, 15.7%), E. histolytica (5, 8.7%), and Giardia intestinalis (1, 1.75%). Most of the cases were asymptomatic and the CD4 count was ≤ 350 mm3. Coccidian parasites always presented diarrhea and had a CD4 count of <200 mm3. In this study the most presenting symptoms were constipation followed by weight loss and anemia.
This high spectrum of infection before ART concludes that early screening should be made mandatory and lower CD4 counts mostly associated with presence of coccidian parasites with diarrhea as presenting symptom.

Campbell Soup Co. fires exec who tweeted racist Soros #MigrantCaravan conspiracy
M'm! M'm! Good! Tweeting conspiracy theories about George Soros is bad for your career. Just ask Campbell's Soup Company former vice president of government affairs, Kelly Johnston.
On Monday, Johnston tweeted that the former hedge fund manager and current philanthropist's Open Society Foundation was funding troop carriers and vans to bring an army of migrants north to the Mexico/United States border.
From Gizmodo:
The company told CNN last week that Johnston’s remarks on Twitter did not reflect the position of the company. A spokesperson for Campbell’s told Gizmodo in a statement by email that Johnston’s last day with the company was Thursday.
“Mr. Johnston and the company discussed in August that he would transition out of his role with his departure scheduled for early November,” the spokesperson said. “In the last few days, the company and Mr. Johnston agreed that under the current circumstances it would be best to accelerate the timing of his departure.”
I'm sure that Johnston's severance package took some off the sting out of being shuffled on a wee bit earlier than anticipated.
For their part, the Open Society Foundations stated that they had no idea what Johnston was talking about--and why would they? It's nonsense. Of course, that's never stopped far-right loons from spreading their top-shelf malarkey.
After all, it's easier for scared, small-minded fools to accuse an asylum seeker that's not even entered the country than to swallow the notion that maybe, just maybe, their nation is being torn apart at the seams by hate, greed and fear of the other.

What is power steering?
Power Assisted Steering, or ‘PAS' as it is also known, is a mechanism that helps you to steer your car. In most vehicles, the PAS relies on a hydraulic system to aid turning the vehicle's wheels. If you have ever driven a car with no Power Steering you will have most certainly noticed the difference between having PAS and not. Power Steering used to be a luxury in certain vehicles, but nowadays it is almost standard in every type of vehicle.
Why is power steering important?
In the early days of the automotive industry, power-assisted steering was a luxury and was only available in high-end vehicles. Most new cars now have it as standard. That’s because they’ve become heavier, with wider tyres and front wheel drive, and would be extremely difficult to drive without PAS. This makes a car not only more pleasant to drive, but safer to drive too.
How does power steering work?
Hydraulic power-assisted steering
There are two types of hydraulic power-assisted steering: rack & pinion and the recirculating ball. Rack & pinion is the most common. The recirculating ball is far less common and only really exists in vans and trucks. Both have high-pressure hoses that connect the steering rack to the two sides of the centre seal. One hose sends hydraulic fluid from the power-steering pump to the steering mechanism, while the other directs fluid back to the pump. When turned left or right, the steering wheel’s steering mechanism allows the hydraulic fluid to pass to respective side of the steering rack, pushing the seal and rack in the necessary direction.
Electric power-assisted steering
Electric power-assisted steering is fully electric. The wheels of the car receive direct assistance from an electric motor which is mounted on either the steering rack or steering column or directly to the steering rack. Sensors decide how much assistance to apply at any time.
What causes power steering problems?
When hydraulic fluid lubricates and seals the power-steering pump and hoses to prevent corrosion it can leak or gradually become less effective, making it harder to turn the steering wheel. Typically, a mechanic will check hydraulic fluid levels during an annual service.
If the electric motor fails, power-assisted steering will stop working, so the motor would need replacing. As with any electrical system, software problems can occur, necessitating an update.
What are the signs that a car needs power-steering repairs?
When you see a transparent fluid patch under the car.
If the car’s steering wheel feels harder to turn than normal.
When there’s a squeaking or groaning noise when turning the wheel of the car.
How long does a power-steering repair take?
1 - 2 hours.
How much does a repair to power steering cost?
Up to £1,000, but could be much less depending on your type of car and the labour rate of the garage you select.
About Renault
Another French company churning out good-looking vehicles, Renault has been in the business of making cars since 1899. The alliance of Renault with Nissan (conveniently called the Renault-Nissan Alliance) make up the fourth largest automotive group in the world.
Renault is also widely known for its role in motor sport, particularly Formula 1. Early work on mathematical curve modelling used on Renault car bodies is an important, but little known, part of the history of computer graphics. Renault began to take part in motorsport early in the 20th century, largely due to Marcel Renault’s own interest in the sport. Over the years, Renault acquired multiple companies with sporting connections, and in the 1970s set up its own dedicated motorsport division, Renault Sport, winning both the Le Mans 24 Hours race and the Renault Alpine A442.
But back to the world outside of motor sport! Back in 2013, the newest Renault vehicles had the lowest average CO2 emissions among European generalist brands, average at 110.1g/km.

Canopy Health to study how CBD helps treat anxiety in animals
Could CBD help animals with anxiety? A new study aims to find out. (Pixabay photo)
Canopy Growth Corporation is launching a study that looks at the effectiveness of cannabidiol (CBD) in treating anxiety in some animals.
The research will be conducted by the company’s subsidiary Canopy Health Innovations, which focuses on developing cannabis-based healthcare products for companion animals.
“Our passion to create safe and effective products for animals is driven by the love we share for our pets,” said Marc Wayne, Managing Director of Canopy Health Innovations.
“The use of natural-occurring cannabinoids as a therapy for companion animals is a logical new forefront of medical discovery and the research we are working on at CAH is world leading,” he added. “These trial approvals mark a significant milestone on the journey of making cannabis-based drugs accepted and recommended by veterinarians.”
The approval comes in the form of a “No Objection Letter” for the use of a proprietary CBD enriched oil formulation, previously administered in pre-clinical dosing and safety studies, as a potential therapy for anxiety.
The CBD formulation will be produced by Canopy Growth in its GMP-certified production facility in Smiths Falls, Ontario.
Canopy Animal Health describes itself as “the global leader in cannabinoid science for pets,” and says it “continues to build a strong portfolio of safety and dosing data for certain animals which it plans to share with the veterinary community and pet owners, through publications and scientific conferences.”
Canopy Health continues to focus on the “robust research and development of innovative cannabis-related products.””
Recently, it was announced that Canopy Growth had acquired the remaining unowned interest in Canopy Health, a move that is said will “further accelerate CHI’s efforts to research effective cannabis formulations and dose delivery systems for human and animals.”

However, despite these advances, many of the methods for targeted resequencing, such as the generation of high-depth exome sequences, are somewhat limited by the relatively large amounts of starting DNA that are normally required. In the case of tumour analysis this is particularly pertinent as many tumour biopsies often return submicrogram quantities of DNA, especially when tumours are microdissected prior to analysis. Here, we present a method for exome capture and resequencing using as little as 50 ng of starting DNA. The sequencing libraries generated by this minimal starting amount (MSA-Cap) method generate datasets that are comparable to standard amount (SA) whole exome libraries that use three micrograms of starting DNA. This method, which can be performed in most laboratories using commonly available reagents, has the potential to enhance large scale profiling efforts such as the resequencing of tumour exomes.", "link"=>"http://www.mendeley.com/research/modified-method-whole-exome-resequencing-minimal-amounts-starting-dna", "reader_count"=>85, "reader_count_by_academic_status"=>{"Unspecified"=>1, "Professor > Associate Professor"=>3, "Researcher"=>30, "Student > Doctoral Student"=>1, "Student > Ph.

However, despite these advances, many of the methods for targeted resequencing, such as the generation of high-depth exome sequences, are somewhat limited by the relatively large amounts of starting DNA that are normally required. In the case of tumour analysis this is particularly pertinent as many tumour biopsies often return submicrogram quantities of DNA, especially when tumours are microdissected prior to analysis. Here, we present a method for exome capture and resequencing using as little as 50 ng of starting DNA. The sequencing libraries generated by this minimal starting amount (MSA-Cap) method generate datasets that are comparable to standard amount (SA) whole exome libraries that use three micrograms of starting DNA. This method, which can be performed in most laboratories using commonly available reagents, has the potential to enhance large scale profiling efforts such as the resequencing of tumour exomes.</p> </div>", "links"=>[], "tags"=>["modified", "exome", "resequencing", "amounts", "dna"], "article_id"=>128040, "categories"=>["Cancer", "Biological Sciences", "Genetics", "Hematology"], "users"=>["Iwanka Kozarewa", "Juan Manuel Rosa-Rosa", "Christopher P.

9-year-old Transgender boy gets new birth certificate
Posted by Al Rucker Show | Apr 10, 2017 | Entertainment, Featured, News | 0 |
Max Briggle, formerly known as “Mary Grace” successfully acquired his new birth certificate indicating his new name and official gender, which is a boy.
“He’s always going to be transgender, but having that piece of paper, my hope is that it’s going to make it a little easier for him,” said Amber Briggle, Max’s mom.
Max, with his mother, joins rally against the Texas Bathroom Bill on March 6.
Being born in the Netherlands, Max’s mom shared it became easier for them to achieve Max’s appeals as Texas Health & Human Services said that changing the sex on a Texas birth certificate requires a court order. In 2016, only 34 people in the entire state met that requirement and were able to change their vital documents.
From his birth certificate to his social security card and other documents, the 9-year-old boy definitely achieved another milestone. His mom also believes this amended documentation is essential for her son especially proposed bathroom bills like SB 6 would mandate that people use the bathroom that matches the sex on their birth certificate.
“As long as we’re going to pass laws saying which facilities you can and can’t use, it’s awfully nice to have a document saying he can use it,” said Briggle. “At the same time, I just feel like it’s so unnecessary. Why do I have to change my son’s birth certificate so he can be treated like the boy that he is?”
This weekend, the Briggles are planning a baby shower for Max they call a do-over, complete with blue decorations and traditional food from The Netherlands.

Witches punished.
Five women were paraded naked, beaten and forced to eat human excrement by villagers after being branded as witches in India's Jharkhand state.
Correspondents say the abuse of women who are branded as witches is common, but rare footage of the incident has caused outrage across India.
The power of video overtakes the power of superstition.

I wonder what making the witches eat sh!t is supposed to accomplish?
I mean, if they're so dangerous, why piss them off?

Witches. What a primitive superstition...NOT.

I just spoke with my Indian/British husband about this.
That area of India is very poor.
He said so poor that they don't know where they are going to get their food for the day.
I told him we had poor areas like the Mississippi Delta and shit like that but many of our poors are fat. Indian poors are not fat.
Sounds like the village people were influenced by the real witches.
My Indian/British husband lived in India until he was 15.
His family had an in house servant which he said is very common for the upper class.
He likes to say "Take Your Dick Out" when we talk on the phone. Isn't that romantic?
I guess that depends on who your dick was in at the time.
Should we want to see video come out of Guinea?
I suppose, if it'll help. Especially among their own population, where it needs to be stopped, which reassuringly seems to be the case here in India.
But it's difficult to be enthusiastic.

You're a fag. That isn't very romantic at all. Besides, you should be empathizing with these witches, after all, they get to eat the dukies by force. You get to make them and push them out by force. You are probably wondering who got the better trade off. Besides, if he's asking you to take your junk out while you are on the phone, you might want to beware that he isn't doing a comparative while he's on the phone.
Hey, you should wear shorts. That'll learn ya.
OMG, I just saw the Levi Johston pistachio nut video.

BEDEMIR: But you are dressed as one.
WITCH: They dressed me up like this.

BEDEMIR: A newt?
VILLAGER #3: I got better.
VILLAGER #2: Burn her anyway!
CROWD: Burn! Burn her!
BEDEMIR: Quiet, quiet. Quiet! There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
CROWD: Are there? What are they?
BEDEMIR: Tell me, what do you do with witches?
VILLAGER #2: Burn!
CROWD: Burn, burn them up!
BEDEMIR: And what do you burn apart from witches?
VILLAGER #1: More witches!
VILLAGER #2: Wood!
BEDEMIR: So, why do witches burn? [pause]
VILLAGER #3: B--... 'cause they're made of wood...?
BEDEMIR: Good!
CROWD: Oh yeah, yeah...
BEDEMIR: So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood?
VILLAGER #1: Build a bridge out of her.
BEDEMIR: Aah, but can you not also build bridges out of stone?
VILLAGER #2: Oh, yeah.
BEDEMIR: Does wood sink in water?
VILLAGER #1: No, no.
VILLAGER #2: It floats! It floats!
VILLAGER #1: Throw her into the pond!

ARTHUR: A duck.
CROWD: Oooh.
BEDEMIR: Exactly! So, logically...,
VILLAGER #1: If... she.. weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood.
BEDEMIR: And therefore--?
VILLAGER #1: A witch!
CROWD: A witch! B
EDEMIR: We shall use my larger scales! [yelling]
BEDEMIR: Right, remove the supports! [whop] [creak]

BEDEMIR: My liege!
ARTHUR: Good Sir knight, will you come with me to Camelot, and join us at the Round Table?
BEDEMIR: My liege! I would be honored.
ARTHUR: What is your name?
BEDEMIR: Bedemir, my leige.
ARTHUR: Then I dub you Sir Bedemir, Knight of the Round Table.
Don't you ever get tired of being bottom? Oh wait. Bah, I'm just using you to bait ZPS to come in her like a little girl and squeal about homophobia. Well, just like your about to do.
Man, now I know how Rush feels about trying to by a football team. Everyone wants in on the action. Like the gays. hehehe...
Folks, what do you expect from an unexpectional country that wallows in it's own 8th world destitution? These people haven't progressed, they are still living in their little primitive hovels kicking around women that they point the finger at and claim to be witches. As if such a thing existed to begin with. At this point, these human turds are no different than that waste of continent known as Africa.

How did a story about "witches" in India turn into a thread about gays? Traditionalguy even brings up the Village People.
Turn out the lights, the party's over on this thread.
President Carter's appointment to the CAB, Elizabeth Bailey, got in some hour-long smoking area tiff with an Eastern Airlines stewardess on the ground at Newark; the stewardess later defended herself by saying it was a misunderstanding: she had called Bailey a witch, not a bitch.
I heard they were Conservatives that were beaten by Trig Truther gays in Provincetown, MA. And the group was led by Andrew Sullivan.
I must have got my stories mixed up.

Peter, Peter, Peter. Sigh.
Get used to scenes like this. I've traveled extensively in India and this isn't unusual.
What is interesting, however is what Althouse chose to leave out of her post:
BBC: "... the victims were Muslim widows who had been labeled as witches by a local cleric."
What you have here is Muslim Sharia in action. This is quite common in the poorest parts of the world where the local cleric has the force of God himself.
Here's how it happens: The local cleric demands sex from local widows who haven't any family to protect them.
Some, of course, decline.
They're branded by the cleric as a witch. Everyone is gathered into the local soccer field to watch the witches get punished.
Thus endeth the lesson.
Islam is the last bastion of the abusive priest.

Looks to me like the superstition is still plenty powerful. Call me when this "overtaking" commences so I'll be sure not to miss it.
So here we've got modern "burning the witches at the stake" monkey business going on in an Eastern country, and all liberals want to do is talk about the Salem witch trials from the 1670s. Are liberals just mentally ill?
Er... who's talking about Salem?
19-year-old girl chops off her tongue to please the god Shiva.
The Times of India: "She did so to invoke the god's blessings to marry the person she desired instead of the match fixed by her parents. The temple priest found her lying in the temple with blood on her face on Tuesday morning. She told the priest about the incident."

There's no doubt this is straight out of Salem, where widows were in fact accused of witchcraft, so others could take their property.
Thing is, this is 400 years ago in our history, and present day reality for Muslim widows.
Muslim. Widows.
Muslim. Women. Bred out. Without male protection.
Thought experiment: The world, run by Muslims.

Bearbee said: "India has some 21st century catching up to do."
I'd remind you of what the BBC reported: "... the victims were Muslim widows who had been labeled as witches by a local cleric."
Muslim cleric.
India, I would submit to you, isn't the institution requiring some 21st Century education.
As long as Muslim clerics have power (and they will as long as Islam is a religion) such abuses will be unstoppable. Such abuses are part and parcel of Islam - submission.
I suppose this is a step up from public executions in a football stadium (ordered by Afghan Muslim clerics) prior to the routing of the Taliban.
This story has noting whatsoever to do with witchcraft. If claims of "witch" proved ineffective owing to 21st Century educations, the Muslim cleric would accuse the widows of some other religious crime (apostasy or unchasteness).
It doesn't really matter what the stated "crime" is ... because this story really isn't about crime or craft, it's about how Muslim clerics wield power over those subjected to their deprivations.
India today. Britian tomorrow. America the day after tomorrow (they said a Hussein could never be elected President here, and they were wrong).
I say we take all the Wiccans and send them to India - who's with me?

That's a lot of fat chicks going to India at once. Might put up a red flag going through customs.

That part of India is Alabama times ten, if Alabama were still inhabited by Native Americans practicing and living as such.
It's heavily forested and has one of the highest concentrations of un-assimilated non-Hindu tribal people: Santal and Adavasi mainly - 32 different clans actually. It's a much higher number than in other parts of India, and they're not a bunch of neo-tribal hipsters with stupid Starbucks tattoos. They practice an anamistic, tree-based religion in sacred jungle-groves and the language the speak is entirely different than other Indian languages, it's not Indo-Aryan or even Dravidian, it's Proto-Australoid.
Hippies have nothing on them.
In the area also are a bunch of ass-backwards Maoist rebels called Naxalites who kill around 300-people a year, for one Maoist reason or another.
Yeh, they got witches there, and more. It's not too far north from where I grew-up - and we had a few servants too, it's called providing employment.
hey--its their fucking culture--who are we to judge?
John Burgess: it seems to me that the sentence implied that the cleric was also Muslim. It is badly written, though, and thus up to other interpretations.
In Hinduism you have priests and sadhus, gurus and swamis - it's not liturgical like Islam that necessarily requires and has its own schools for clerics. In India you are born into that category.
I doubt Santals or Adivasis have clerics, and the Christians in India have pastors - in fact there are a lot of tribals who have converted to Christianity rather than to Hinduism because the Hindus have always treated them very badly since they are considered unclean and untouchables.
So we can't judge a culture by how it conducts itself wherever it occurs? Granted, the people we label witches now in this country end up really being witches and going to Ren Faires. But I digress. :D

Althouse, the "big fool"... the "cock-tease"... the "provacateur"... "the intellectual flirt"... the lawprof who reminds men of the "manipulation, deception, or disloyalty in women close to them"...
Last night, I put up a post that started a discussion about why conservatives — or at least the class of conservatives in the Instapundit commentariat — think I'm a big liberal. I joked that these people ought to come to my hometown and workplace, where I am regarded as a big right-winger. I see the consistent theme: I make people feel that I'm not what they are. I trigger the shunning reflex. Or, to put it less self-effacingly: I've hit the contrarian sweet spot.
It was interesting to me to read the comments thread here on my blog, where people tend to write, I think, if they like hanging out, for whatever reason, including the stimulation to disagree with me. But there's one comment I want to single out for separate discussion, because it has 7 itemized ideas, really detailed and insightful ideas that I want to think about and that I thought you might find useful to examine.
This is what Carl Pham wrote in what was the middle of the night here in Madison, Wisconsin:
1. Only some see you as a big liberal, most see you as a big fool, who was conned by Obama and will be conned again, or as a cock-tease who pretends to get the male/conservo-libertarian concerns, but returns privately to predictable female/collectivist tendencies.
2. For a wide swathe of traditional men, the judicial/law professor temperament is distasteful in a woman: it reminds them unpleasantly of manipulation, deception, or disloyalty in women close to them -- one they may have trusted to their regret. Indeed, I would argue it is attractive to a fairly narrow range of men in general (aside from outright betas who agree they need sensitivity training to be aware of when they leave hairs in the bathroom sink and who wouldn't dream of fondling an ass without politely asking permission first). Men don't mind reserve in a woman, but when it starts to seem calculating (which it has to be in the professor/judge role) it tends to trigger unease, ranging to paranoia in some cases.
3. There's tension between your occasional Woman/Womanhood As Victim ruminations and Instapundit's Men/Manhood As Victim ruminations. It's a very unusual person who can be neutral in the ancient battle of the sexes to win the Most Misunderstood And Exploited prize, or even see the merit that there might be in both sides of the endless argument.
4. There's blood in the water. After eight long years of a baffling preference of the majority of their fellow citizens for a smooth-talking prissy sleazebot and mealy-mouthed collectivist nostrums, there's the sense that now the red-blooded God-fearin' straight-shootin' black-coffee-drinkin' American they thought they lived amongst has finally woken up and is about to throw these changelings and cuckoos the hell out -- and the anticipation raises the blood pressure, while the possibility of a slip 'twixt cup and lip jangles the nerves. Result, partisan fervor.
5. Instapundit himself has changed (perhaps partly because of 4 above). There is less moderation and reflection, less non-political stuff, less independent libertarian stuff, and much more reflexive Obama hate.
6. Most bloggers and persistent commentariats tend to fossilize over time (and the comments in that thread are highly stereotyped). I think it's because it's extremely hard after a while for either the principal or the dinner guests to back down from an iffy and misguided thought -- you get savaged. So after time people tend to be less intellectually adventurous and open. This is a well-known effect in business: the larger the meeting, the more fossilized and traditional the positions. You only really get true experimentation and adventure in the ideas people express when the discussion is small, intimate, and private -- three adjectives that cannot possibly describe public blogging and commenting.
7. You also have a streak of provacateur or the intellectual flirt: you say things sometimes just (or mostly just) to provoke reaction and hot discussion. That makes all kinds of sense in your profession, of course. But, again, in a woman it can make many men uneasy -- few like a tease, which is kind of what this is.

I corrected a typo of Pham's in text that also appears in the post title. He had, in point #2: "it reminds them unpleasantly of manipulation, deception, or disloyalty in a women close to them."
That needed to be either "a woman" or "women" without the "a." I decided the latter was the better choice.
I trigger the shunning reflex. Or, to put it less self-effacingly: I've hit the contrarian sweet spot.
What ever happened to 'cruel neutrality'?
bearing said...
About what fraction of your regular readers are male, do you think?
(I'm not, and these answers seem mostly to be about men, maybe deliberately.)
Funny that that's something we have in common--most liberals think I'm conservative, most conservatives think I'm liberal. I don't fit into either category, each side seems to recognize that I don't fit into theirs and so they assume I fit into the other. (My line is: I have no more use for conservatives than for liberals, but I do have more respect for them.)
I was disappointed when Instapundit opened comments--much as I like to comment, most blogs I read that make that switch suffer for it. The Instapundit has not been an exception. Plus, I hate that a blog I love attracts so few intelligent comments.
Talk about a distinction without a difference!
amielalune said...
He's boring. Oh, I suppose it's interesting to you since he was "analyzing" you, but he really just told us a lot about himself. And who cares?
On to the real topic -- you may be a total rightwinger in Madison, WI, but that just shows what an MSNBC-deluded place Madison is. YOU VOTED TWICE FOR OBAMA, correct? Then how can you possibly think that you are not a mostly-just-not-entirely liberal yourself?
I hate that a blog I love attracts so few intelligent comments.
"What ever happened to 'cruel neutrality'?"
Reading this post out loud (to Meade), I realized this post should have the "cruel neutrality" tag and added it.
Obviously, I've regarded my own approach as cruel, so I can't complain if people feel hurt, though I've got to say that I regard it as a test of whether I'm interested in talking with you (in the Pham 5 sense). And I realize this tends to mean that my male readers are the 2 types identified in Pham 2.
The type of male who is put off and takes shots at me from the Instapundit bunker merges the 2 types of males and think they are are the type Pham called "beta." They can't picture the alpha Althouse male reader, perhaps because to do so would be to acknowledge something about themselves they don't want to have to see.
I don't have time to think about all the itemized points but #7 seemed right on its face. I think (I have noticed over the years) you like talking about yourself and like more hearing others talk about you, which is why this post and its parent post getting so much of your blog real estate.
tim maguire Plus, I hate that a blog I love attracts so few intelligent comments.
I've had that thought, too. They are almost never thoughtful or challenging, just regurgitating.
I must admit that I'm not sure that I understand why Althouse chose to single out this comment. Carl Pham has made some interesting observations about how blogs change over time, but I'm not sure how they are useful to the discussion at issue. Also, (and I say this as someone who is certainly far to the right of Althouse) he appears to have woman issues. His frequent digressions into what is "distasteful" in women certainly made him come across as distasteful himself, to this woman.
This is so meta that I hesitate to even type.
You must promote your blog just to keep it alive. That makes sense. Rush Limbaugh often comments that he's in show business, not political business. That's the Jon Stewart argument.
It's not a good argument, unless you want to be a clown.
As a long-time Instapundit reader, I find #3 and #5 to be pretty astute. One way Glenn Reynolds has changed is in his emphasis on sexual politics, so I would say that #5 is predicated on #3.
I have felt, for some time, that the sum of the different ways Reynolds talks about sex is deeply weird. The sex as self-medication push, the sexbot theme, the shout-outs to the pick-up community -- all of these treat sex in a way both mechanical and misogynistic.
As for #7 -- I'm not so sure that men don't like a tease. History and art say otherwise. If you pursue items #1, #2, and #7 to their logical ends, it brings up a question that I have had myself: Why is the commentariat here so male/conservo? And why has it trended that way over many years?
SomeoneHasToSayIt said...
Instapundit himself has changed (perhaps partly because of 4 above). There is less moderation and reflection, less non-political stuff, less independent libertarian stuff, and much more reflexive Obama hate.
Oh, so now principled disagreement is "reflexive Obama hate" ?
Well, fuck you. And you just completely undercut what was otherwise an interesting post.
Marge Piercy Strong Women
She didn't write any women with sense of humor, as far as I know. It still separates the sexes.
The woman's idea is that the moron means well.
The guy's idea is that he's a moron.
Me, I love teases. As long as they avoid my major vulnerabilities.
But having a " streak of provacateur or the intellectual flirt" in you isn't contrarian in an academic, it's almost cliched.
If you far more open and vulnerable in what you write (which I suppose fits the genderist tropes mentioned in Pham) that would be more contrarian for someone in your profession.
Plus, I never believe your comments about yourself because they seem to have too much self-flattery in them.
@amielalune
First, get your facts straight.
Then form a opinion.
Lyssa wrote: His frequent digressions into what is "distasteful" in women certainly made him come across as distasteful himself, to this woman.
Well said. The generalizations look disturbingly like projection.
"About what fraction of your regular readers are male, do you think?"
It's really hard to say, because screen names don't always come across as gendered and one might pose as the other sex, and most readers don't comment.
I think readers of political blogs and the large number of readers who've come here by way of Instapundit tend to be male.
I assume the readership here is majority male, though it probably doesn't skew male as much as most political blogs, not that I see this as mainly a political blog.
I think I've been subjected to criticism for years from the feminist blogs, and I'm sure this means that many potential female readers are lost. I'm very familiar with the way people who lean left get the idea that those who don't signal acceptance of their ideology are toxic.
Yeah, I agree with Lyssa.
This blog gazes at its navel enough. I don't come here for the navel-gazing or the projection or the misogyny from commenters. I like the cruel misanthropy, uh, I mean, the cruel neutrality.
Your primary tendency, Professor, seems to be to post whatever the hell you want to post, come what may, and that keeps the blog lively.
Now can we get back to crappy art, Wisconsin politics that nobody outside Wisconsin understands, and Dylan references?
Degan McDowell on Imus is complaining about hissing and kissing sounds when she walks past construction sites.
That's the lesbians.
Ann Althouse said, "About what fraction of your regular readers are male, do you think?"
It's really hard to say...
I'd estimate that the commenters are a good 80% male. The readership may well be much less skewed. There's no way to know...at least not a way I'd recommend.
I'd be curious what misogyny means these days. It looks like it's like racism, more or less the opposite of what it once meant.
Being a provocateur and an intellectual flirt, isn't that what makes the blog so interesting to so many? Being a law professor is good training for this kind of thing.
For those paying attention, I think it's pretty clear that Althouse is a moderate liberal generally, with some particularly liberal social attitudes - gay stuff, womens' stuff, but not all stuff. She's not a typical liberal on abortion or "free sex."
She may have been conned by the Zero, but she had some good reasons not to vote for McCain who, let's face it, is a dimwit. She published her thinking on it. Lots of people wanted to vote for the first black president.
Unless I'm wrong, she voted for Walker and Romney. So, not a knee jerk big liberal. That person would not have done that.
In my blog reading experience, this blog has a high proportion of female commenters who are not easily dismissed for sheer self interested vapidity. Unlike many blogs that are about identity, like the feminist blogs are by definition.
You could take a poll on gender and commenting frequency, along the lines of:
o Male, comments never to less then once a month
o Male, comments once a month to once a day
o Male, comments multiple times a day
o Female, comments never to less then once a month
o Female, comments once a month to once a day
o Female, comments multiple times a day
I would look to the subjects that you have posted that have drawn -- by far -- the most passionate (and voluminous) comments: 'splooge stooges' and gay marriage.
For many, these two stances (and how they were presented -- forceful, with what some seemed to have taken as disdain for 'the other side') cemented you as a progressive in their minds regardless of any other subject: they positioned you unequivocally on one side of what is perceived as a hard line, and I believe your other posts, and your persona, are filtered through that dynamic.
These two subjects also seemed to have evinced a strong male/female component to the conservative/progressive positions. While 'splooge stooges' is obvious in this context I believe the gay marriage subject fits in it's own way. Many commenters took the arguments for gay marriage as emotion-based, rather than coldly logical -- a female versus male stereotype that, at times, can be correct; please note that I am speaking to reactions more than the source material.
The 'voted for Obama' aspect simply reinforces the belief derived from these two subjects. Indeed, Obama himself can probably be reduced to the female-emotion/male-logic template regarding his supporters and detractors, but that is its own subject...
One other thing I would like to say. The very fact that Althouse is able to accurately recapitulate conservative arguments says something about her.
Try to get the average liberal, or any liberal, to accurately recapitulate a mainstream skeptical argument, for example on global warming, if only to refute it. They can't do it.
If people in academia think you're right-wing and people in the rest of the world think you're left-wing, you're probably left-wing.
Hillary Clinton is considered right-wing by a lot of the academics I know.
"I must admit that I'm not sure that I understand why Althouse chose to single out this comment.

I loved point #2 and decided to frontpage this halfway into reading that point. I think he imagined how other people think in a way that felt right to me and was at least provocative. How other people think is the most interesting subject for contemplation.
To connect this to another topic from yesterday: It is the reason for reading novels. You only really get to see how the novelist thinks about how other people think, but the novelist is good when he can do this in exciting ways, including seeming to get it right or at least to make you think more deeply about whether you are getting anywhere near how it really feels to be someone else.
The reason for writing a novel, to me, is to use your own mind to imagine the minds of other, to inhabit them and play out lives for them.
One of the things I do on this blog is to take some evidence of another person's mind — perhaps something Hillary Clinton said — and to play out my ideas of what is really happen in there and also the effect or the intended effect on other people's minds
I know some readers rankle at that. How can Althouse possibly know? She can't mind read.
Within the law school milieu, some people don't want to have to talk about what's really going on in the minds of judges, even though that's: 1. The most interesting aspect of law, and 2. Understanding the mind you want to persuade is exactly what a lawyer needs to do to make an effective argument.
Trigger the shunning reflex? I don't think so. I based my comment on the stories you choose to post, the ones you ignore, and your commentary on them.
While I still go to Instapundit, I don't read Reynolds' own commentary that much. Just for the links, although he makes some good points in a broad sense, it's become kind of like a tabloid in some ways.
In any case, this is the only blog where I still comment.
Feelings do not know their marching orders. - Lautreamont
If Pham lacks self-awareness of his issues with women, this post should be a good mirror. I think the reason so many of your alpha-male readers are attracted to this blog is that you offer the intellectual stimulation of a really bright girlfriend - original insights about life, well-reasoned arguments, and a couple of forgivable weak points resulting from estrogen-induced sentimentality. To my mind, Meade got lucky.
It would take a good amount of space to catalogue your virtues, the few weak points are nostalgia for both the civil rights movement (the freedom of association tear-up!), ur-feminism (your girlhood!), and gay marriage, where you skip past the unintended consequences (your son!). On the balance, you are a national treasure. I hope you and Meade roll along a good long while.
Mind reading is one of the philosophical theories of language.
The other is prophecy.
By way of saying that mind reading isn't unusual.
Joke from high school
"I can read minds [pause] You're thinking I can't."
That has a name in magic, forcing I think.
Althouse and Instapundit are both social liberals. However, Althouse writes about abortion and gay marriage, and Instapundit only makes periodic comments about the latter. Can't recall anything he's written on the former, and, given his style, there's very little commentary by him, in general. His politics are mostly implied by the sorts of pieces he chooses to link. (I think, in a way, that limits him: he can't link with a "this is an interesting point of view; let's talk about it" because that's too subtle for his approach.)
Instapundit is libertarian, to boot, on economic issues.
On other issues, and in terms of her characterization of partisan politics more generally, Althouse is certainly right-of-center, but her blogging style doesn't really work without a certain contrarianness that engages its readers, and it's more conversational and reflective (even without the comments) than muckraking. She's not spending hours researching the latest scandal.
Not a big mystery.

Jane the Actuary said: However, Althouse writes about abortion and gay marriage, and Instapundit only makes periodic comments about the latter. Can't recall anything he's written on the former
When I first started reading (around 2007), he commented on those a bit more. He used to frequently state that his idea of liberatarianism involved happily married gay couples with a closet full of assault rifles. He also used to comment in a pro-abortion way on a fairly regular basis, and for a while had a picture up of him humorously wearing one of those "I had an abortion" t-shirts. I found it a bit of a turn-off (though not enough to scare me away, I guess).
Now, I think that he's more interested in the free speech and similar issues, and seems to post more from the anti-abortion side (but from the perspective of having their rights to disagree on that trampled on, not from the perspective of necessarily agreeing with their posts). I've wondered if it has come with having a more conservative readership that he does not want to turn off now.
Well you have a tendency to troll your readers with ambiguous statements not unlike this one. People with poor self control will take that as a invitation for abuse.

All public writing is, at its core, burlesque. How much the writer wants to show or keep hidden, how much the reader believes he or she has seen versus what was actually shown. There is an art to it.
Althouse on gay marriage is dismissive of the other side.
It's the woman's I know what I know feeling.

The hesitation, however, to uncover everything of what does not yet exist, weaves, for modesty's sake, out of the general state of surprise, a veil.
Weighing in as a female reader, I agreed with Carl Pham's comment and don't get the other commenters who feel he was projecting his own misogynist tendencies. I felt he was pretty spot on with the gender stuff.
"Now can we get back to crappy art, Wisconsin politics that nobody outside Wisconsin understands, and Dylan references?"
Oh, nobody inside Wisconsin understands it either.
Commenting on a comment from a blog post about a blog post commenting on a blog is demanding me to be too meta, I think.
For a wide swathe of traditional men, the judicial/law professor temperament is distasteful in a woman: it reminds them unpleasantly of manipulation, deception, or disloyalty in women close to them
I have to admit that this is true. We all know that we can make all of the logical and dispassionate arguments we can muster to a woman, and she can acknowledge and event understand them, and then she will still do what she wants, based on some rationalization that she will not share because she knows we won't agree with her thinking, which will generally be emotional. Even if we can demonstrate that while her reasoning works in the context of a specific example, it will be harmful in the broader sense.
A perfect example is paying ransoms to terrorists. Logically, it makes no sense to give large quantities of money to groups that saw off peoples heads, but the emotional argument about the individual facing the threat right now wins, even if paying subjects further individuals to that threat in the future, or buys weapons for the kind of massacres as just occurred in Iraq this morning.
The emotional decision is demonstrably wrong. Just don't depend on a woman to let that guide her thinking.
Plus, I hate that a blog I love attracts so few intelligent comments.
Yeah, seeing an open comment section on a blog I like tends to to knock the wind out of the notion that all the assholes are on the other side.
Especially since I don't always resist the urge to be the asshole.

I think he nails it in the 4 point and last.
My enjoyment on this site is that you seem to be centrist and questioning. Exactly what I would hope to hear from a first class Con law prof.
I don't see you as a whack-a-mole leftist prof types which unfortunately are too abundant on campuses (campi?) today.
… most see you as a big fool, who was conned by Obama and will be conned again …
If I'm remembering correctly, the vote for Obama in his first term was because McCain was too warlike. Perhaps she is realizing that electing a dove only encourages the hawks around the world. They see weakness and dithering and swoop down for easy prey.
And also the smile-inducing(from me) rationalization of hers that the Right would be better off for awhile without anyone in the Whitehouse. A right-leaning President would have attracted too much hatred from the Left, especially the MSM. But she got back on track the second time around and voted for Romney.
If you get too cutesy and try to second-guess events too much in politics you end up fooling yourself, I think.
Our hostess also fits my definition of an intellectual as someone who cares deeply about ideas and their significance. And from that emerges an interest in subtleties and nuance in politics and other things. Not a stereotypical traditional female characteristic. Maybe that causes heartburn in some circles.
I may be the only commentor who was married to a lawyer. Graduated with honors from law school and aced the Bar the first time around. Men I can tolerate but I cannot be with an unintelligent woman. She never nagged, bless her heart. Her reading comprehension was off the charts so she easily grasped subtleties but did not worship them. Last I heard she was holding hearings for the INS in DC.
Our hostess is neither GOP nor Democrat. She's an independent. Like me. Suffice to say, I do not hold THAT against her.
To my mind, Meade got lucky.
Meade is one lucky dog. He dared and won. If I had not lived a thousand miles away and been too old for her I might have tried the same.
"Mark Steyn, responding to a caller who said she loved his sense of humor, "Women always say they're looking for a sense of humor, but they never actually are, Valarie, believe me.""
Now, a true novelist could generate an entire book from that seed. What is the backstory of the man who would say that? Or laugh and move on and know that you are not a novelist.
I'm late to the discussion, but I really think it is as simple as what affects the perception of Mickey Kaus and Peggy Noonan. You talk the talk, but then voted for Obama regardless. This makes people suspicious of the sincerity of the talk. I (and I think a lot of others) just don't see how anyone who shows evidence of life above the shoulders could have been fooled by Obama, so someone who voted for him must have known what they were in for.
in my experience the only way for a woman blogger to please right wingers is to go all malkin or coulter; anything less is too ambiguous, and you will be continually tested.
I don't go to blogs to read things I agree with. It's boring.
I never know what Althouse is going to write about. That keeps me coming back.
Political blogs are overwhelmingly white and overwhelmingly male. I think this blog skews older than most other blogs, which are read by 25-35 yo men. I like that. Older people have more diversity in what they believe because they don't care so much about belonging to some in-group. They also have some perspective about how things have changed.
The worst possible blogs have comments sections that are big, conformist circle-jerks. Balkinization is like that. Instapundit is like that. Everyone just poses to show that they are with it and on the right team. There are lots of cute names for the bad people on the other side, and lots of cliche phrases to show that commenters have been reading the right sources for news.
On topic, Pham has an appropriately misanthropic view of blog commenters who have the time and inclination to post on political blogs. Happy, well-adjusted men don't spend a lot of time typing on the internet. There are exceptions, and those exceptions tend to be the best commenters. The rest is a big soup of discontent.
Commenting is a narcissistic activity. Most comments are just "I think this." Few comments are aimed at persuasion. A great many are intended to discourage and intimidate. It's more about group norm enforcement than discussion.
There's no point in checking a block like instapundit to see what Glenn Reynolds thinks about a subject. It's easy to predict. Althouse isn't easy. Also, exactly how she thinks about it is going to be different. That, it seems to me, makes it a better blog.
"Althouse on gay marriage is dismissive of the other side. It's the woman's I know what I know feeling."
How it feels to me is: We've been talking about this for so long, and your side has been elaborated again and again, and my side seems so obviously right. I'm not that interested in hearing you say it again. I don't want to be rude, but the conversation is boring to me. I've tried to advise you to find a graceful way to move forward, but if you're going to stand there rechewing your old arguments ad infinitum, I've got other places to go.
You voted for Obama Ann.
And you are not in some trailer house but are well educated. Takes a real liberal to vote for such an idiot who was very easy to see through.
So yea, you WERE a liberal. I only hope after having this blog you see the light.
Ah. Understanding the mind of judges brings back a wonderful memory.
I was managing a case (outside lawyers argued the case) with a judge who had been a US naval officer stationed in Japan. Since the case involved overseas shipments to Japan I made a point of getting one of the Italian captains on the stand. The testimony was interesting. We won the case.
"Yeah, seeing an open comment section on a blog I like tends to to knock the wind out of the notion that all the assholes are on the other side."
LOL (because I'm assuming you remember that "all the assholes are on the other side" is a catchphrase at Meadhouse).
As if voting against McCain and Palin is something you should be ashamed of.
"HAHAHAHAHA. Carl Pham uses "twixt". What a butthole. What a pompous drunk-in-the-middle-of-the-night academic fraud. Twixt my ass."
I assumed it went with the image of drinking in that paragraph and was a reference to the old phrase "There's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip."

"If I'm remembering correctly, the vote for Obama in his first term was because McCain was too warlike."
You are remember incorrectly.
Read: "How McCain lost me."
Being mad at Althouse for a vote six years ago is a great way to convince her, and everyone else, to be on your side.
How do you think you win elections? You convince people to change their votes. Althouse changed her votes, therefore punish. Makes sense to me.
I've tried to advise you to find a graceful way to move forward, but if you're going to stand there rechewing your old arguments ad infinitum, I've got other places to go.
That a "settled science" argument. Stare decisis.
"in my experience the only way for a woman blogger to please right wingers is to go all malkin or coulter; anything less is too ambiguous, and you will be continually tested."
You know, I've been blogging for a little more than a year myself, and with a tiny readership, but at various points I've poked around looking for blogs to model my own after, with an eye toward women. And there just don't seem to be too many small-time female political bloggers out there, that I know of, anyway.
Jane-
Megan McArdle started that way.
Oh, and it would probably be too tacky to use this as a seque to ask you all to go read my blog, wouldn't it?
I check out this blog fairly often because Ann strikes me as a reasonable liberal, something in short supply these days.
I was a liberal until 1980. Voting for Carter was the cold blast of reality that I needed. I prefer conservative web-sites because I am a generally conservative person with some socially liberal views and increasingly libertarian views. However, I don't want tools touch with what liberals are thinking. Ann strikes me as a thoughtful liberal.
Garage, ARM, the Crackhead ... not so much. Sometimes they are good for comedic relief. Sometimes they are just annoying.
How it feels to me is: We've been talking about this for so long, and your side has been elaborated again and again, and my side seems so obviously right. I'm not that interested in hearing you say it again. I don't want to be rude, but the conversation is boring to me.
How it feels to me is: You keep throwing the same hanging curveball over the center of the plate, then complain about how boring it is that we keep knocking them out of the park the same way each time.
( Like I said in my previous comment, I don't always resist the urge. )
I'm pretty conservative, and male, and I'd say that Kathy Shaidle is the female blogger that most closely tracks to my views of things. Otherwise I'm Ace's man all the way (except movie reviews).
I read this blog precisely to be challenged and to see things in a way I didn't expect, as many commenters have noted above. And I learn a lot from the commenters who aren't Garage or Crack.
Cock-tease??
provacateur?
the intellectual flirt?
These are compliments....no??
mikeski said...
As if voting for Obama and Biden is something you should be proud of.
FIFY.
No "true right-winger" likes Althouse then, I guess Carol means to say.
I think this has more to do with Carol's inner mental model of what a right-winger looks like.
I are one. I don't read Coulter, though I do think that when her good friend was killed by terrorists on 9-11, a little understanding might have been applied to what she wrote only a couple of days later, while still processing her grief.
I don't read Malkin.
I don't read The Blaze
I rarely get a chance to listen to Rush, but still find him insightful occasionally.
Mark Levin actively disgusts me. Mostly because I don't believe he authentically believes what he says, or said the couple of times I have been exposed to him.
But it is way more fun to imagine that all the people on the other side are assholes, isn't it?
We all know that we can make all of the logical and dispassionate arguments we can muster to a woman, and she can acknowledge and event understand them, and then she will still do what she wants,
This is a trait of just female law professors? I need to call the wife, she's been holding out on me.
RAH said...
Actually to me your are a thinking liberal. However your post on the recall election seemed that your were sliding into conservative thought. So as you get older you seem to be more conservative except on the gay marriage items.
You also do like to tease or provoke so to keep the air of mystery. It keeps your blog interesting.
Jane, this wasn't a real letter from a real guy was it?
I was a casual reader to this blog until a few years ago, when Althouse set the hook. She wrote, "I live in a city where people point me out and announce to the group: 'Ann Althouse is here.' And not in a nice way. It's creepy."
Althouse forces her reader to think. I appreciate that.
This is how it feels to me as well:
Maybe the reason you feel that your side is so "obviously right" is that you continually reinforce this feeling by trolling your readers for a certain kind of reaction, while ignoring the more substantive comments and questions that come up. Additionally you ignore bad behavior and bad faith on your own side, creating your own epistemic bubble.
Tim in Vermont --
thanks for linking. Is the situation in that "Ask Amy" letter for real? No idea. That's not a world I inhabit. But more believable than the Prudence section of Slate.
Where's Titus when you need him?
Althouse voted for Dukakis in 1988, from what I remember her writing about her presidential votes over the years.
I'm actually interested in why Dukakis over HW Bush. That's the one presidential election in my memory lifetime (I was a baby in 1972) that I thought and still think is beyond debate. Dukakis has been the least presidential candidate since Wendell Wilkie.
John Lynch said, "Political blogs are overwhelmingly white and overwhelmingly male."
Amusing. Who has time to blog and comment on blogs? Who talks/writes a lot? Who likes the sound of his/her own talking?
This comment might get me in trouble, but it's late in the comment game around here.
"One way Glenn Reynolds has changed is in his emphasis on sexual politics, so I would say that #5 is predicated on #3."
I think Glenn has been influenced by his wife's focus on the War on Men. She wrote an interesting book.
I see the frustration in many with the people who voted for Obama the empty suit because he was black (sort of). I could understand that and was not surprised with the results. I was surprised that he got enough votes in 2012 to avoid the reaction to the disasters he has created.
Having seen what the Democrats could do in 2012 with a very sophisticated GOTV system and a modest amount of fraud, I fear that Hillary could overcome all the excellent reasons she should be retired to fund raising.
This is how societies die, or at least atrophy as Japan has atrophied the past 25 years. I fear the 2012 election was a tipping point and that Romney had the skills to get us out of the death spiral and now it will be too late if we ever elect a good president.
Hemingway was asked how someone went bankrupt. He said, "Slowly, then suddenly." I think that is true of nations also.
I do appreciate the comments section, which is absent from left wing blogs that block any dissenting views. This leads the left to think it has all the good ideas. They never debate. I used to read and comment at Washington Monthly when Kevin Drum was the blogger. Then they banned me for reasons that were never explained.
I usually comment only on those things that interest me.
Nothing is older or whiter than baseball blogs
I don't think Prof Althouse will vote for Hillary, although the pull to vote for a woman is likely strong. I think her dislike of Hc is strong enough to overcome this.
I think her reasoning for voting for Obama was very strained though, and unconvincing to many of her readers. Therefore it seems like a rationalization rather than a real rationale, and readers who see it that way are likely to extrapolate that she will create a justification to vote for HC as well.
Insufficiently Sensitive said...
Or, to put it less self-effacingly: I've hit the contrarian sweet spot.
Bravo, from the Society of Adriatic Curmudgeons!
Tim in Vermont is onto something, I think, having to do with the stereotype of the right wing conservative.
I also don't care about Rush, Levin, Coulter, or Malkin, though Twitchy does great things sometimes.
I follow Ace, Instapundit, Jonah Goldberg, Kathy Shaidle, Mark Steyn, Heather MacDonald, Jay Nordlinger, David Kahane, Andrew C. McCarthy, Virginia Postrel, Kevin D. Williamson, Mark Goldblatt, Amity Shlaes, Alicia Colon, New Criterion, and you.
And I think Prof Althouse is a rare example today of a thinking liberal (and only left of center on some issues) which draws a lot of conservative commenters.
I haven't been around here that long but I imagine that many commenters were drawn here for that reason but then gave strong push back on a number of hot button issues where Althouse leans further left. Which was noted by the blogger, and exploited for effect.
Althouse:
I am familiar with the hackneyed and overused slip of the tongue twixt saying.
From years of observing its use I can say without hesitation that only assholes and pretentious academics use it. They think it is cute and, better, a sign of sophistication. It is a marker for a silly person
"How it feels to me is: You keep throwing the same hanging curveball over the center of the plate, then complain about how boring it is that we keep knocking them out of the park the same way each time."
So you think it's a home run when people refer to the dictionary definition of marriage?
Henry: I have felt, for some time, that the sum of the different ways Reynolds talks about sex is deeply weird. The sex as self-medication push, the sexbot theme, the shout-outs to the pick-up community...
A bunch of nerdy young guys sitting around on the internet talking about sex the way Reynolds talks about sex would be pretty normal. It's only weird because he's awfully long in the tooth to be stuck in the silly sperg stage. Lot of that going around, though - it's just one manifestation of the infantilization apparent everywhere.
...-- all of these treat sex in a way both mechanical and misogynistic.
I wouldn't say "misogynistic" (even if we disregard that "misogynist", like "racist", is now only a tantrum-marker). I think "retarded" covers it.
Ha, reading your response to "Ignorance is Bliss" makes me realize I didn't read his comment well before endorsing it.
I don't think people hit your curveballs on gay marriage out of the park. I think mostly you get boring, predictable (and sometimes bigoted) responses which is exactly what you hope for. You don't blog on this issue in way that's conducive to real debate, because you simply want to declare the debate over.
"I don't think Prof Althouse will vote for Hillary, although the pull to vote for a woman is likely strong."
It's just not true that I feel a pull to vote for the woman, and it's especially not true when it's a woman who is where she is because of a man and not as an independent woman.
I can't think of any time when I voted based on the sex of a candidate or felt any desire to do so. I can think of a number of women I voted against.
The mind is voracious. Under what conditions will it eat itself?
Gender is a tool. Gender is a vessel. Which is more encompassing of the other? Which is more all-purpose?
Dull knives, cracked bowls. Such is our inheritence. Have you been taught how to sharpen a blade? Throw a pot?
Let the thoughts out of their cages. Because you sympathize with their hunger. Do you expect them to reciprocate?
Does this introspection make me look narcissistic? Ann Coulter is the bomb!
To clarify: my comment about your inclinations to vote for a woman was merely my own inference. I take you at your word that this was incorrect.
So what do you make of the "draft Warren" movement? It doesn't appear from here that she got where she is because of a man.
I'd be much happier with Elizabeth Warren than Hillary Clinton. I don't agree with her at all, but she's probably more effective.
I wish we'd stop voting for Senators to be President. That's a bad, bad idea.
No, no more so than you think that a charge of homophobia is a 100 mph fastball.
Is the dictionary definition really the best argument that you've heard from the other side?
I will certainly agree that there are plenty of assholes on my side who make stupid arguments ( if you can even call them arguments. ) I can understand your boredom with that.
I can suggest one good way of not having to look at the same old arguments against gay marriage over and over again: stop doing end-zone dances on the topic every few days.
It's men in general, and women in general.
I think it's related to women in men's jobs doing them well but grimly.
Sex difference are mostly in what men and women enjoy doing.
Guys abstract from everything, which leaves a lot of distance and opportunity for humor.
Women engage in everything at once.

Gender is gender
Real Clear Politics does an excellent job of demonstrating many sides to the issues of the day.
Now that we're talking marriage, by the way, the next stage in the "gaymarriage" discussion is really to address what marriage is about, in the first place. Is it just the ability to "legally" use the terms husband/wife, become legally "next-of-kin" and obtain whatever other benefits the government provides?
It seems that there are plenty of people out there promoting exactly that, a sort of do-it-yourself approach, in which marriage has only as much intention for permanence or sexual fidelity or "union" (that is, combining your lives, including finances, vs. each party being on their own) as they wish to give it, and no more.

"I can suggest one good way of not having to look at the same old arguments against gay marriage over and over again: stop doing end-zone dances on the topic every few days."
By "stop doing end-zone dances on the topic" do you mean: "stop mentioning the topic"? I'm not being sarcastic, I truly do not see the "end-zone dances".

I joked that these people ought to come to my hometown and workplace, where I am regarded as a big right-winger.
Ever thought that maybe if you traveled to their hometowns you'd understand why they think you're practically a communist?
I kept well-clear of the "let's label Althouse" thread because it seemed to be a topic that would shred much more heat than light.
American politics are the least ideological of any in the West. The typical vote reflects mood and short-term interest more than philosophy, even assuming that the typical voter's mind even functions in a manner that can be so described. Simple mental inertia more often accounts for "party loyalty" in this country than critical thinking, which is not to say that those "swing voters" are paragons of reason. In my experience these people are just as foggy in their logic as rock-ribbed Republicans or yellow dog Democrats.
Some election years give us a peculiar mix of candidates which encourages non-rational voting. 2008 was such a year. Given John McCain as the nominal conservative a surprising number of habitually conservative voters ticked the Obama box. Why?
The comprehensive answer is TLDR. The short answer is combination of McCain's seemingly erratic political history, and cognitive dissonance.
I chose McCain, not because I liked him. McCain was and remains one of the most maladroit politicians the Republican's have ever nominated. Nevertheless McCain was running for the presidency. Obama was running for deity.
"But having a "streak of provacateur or the intellectual flirt" in you isn't contrarian in an academic, it's almost cliched."
I find that most academics pretend to be contrarian, but are actually more herdlike. Professor Althouse is often truly contrarian.
Pham is not representative of anything other than Pham, and I find Pham annoyingly shallow and superficial.
Enjoy the art that is this blog and its commentariate (other than Crack, of course, as I am against racism).
Thank you for providing this venue for conversations I would not otherwise get to experience.
or at least the class of conservatives in the Instapundit commentariat
The worst thing about Reynolds' having comments is the sort of commenters PJM attracts, sadly.
Not all of them, of course, but far too many.
(I think it might have affected his style, too; there's a regrettable tendency towards clickbait from PopSci and PopMech any boring conservative-red-meat-ish content anymore.)
(On topic, I think amielalune is probably right.
He's boring to not-you people [Not a complaint about the content, since it's your blog, and it's relevant to you].
And realistically in terms of "observation from outside" I don't know how to analyze your demonstrated politics as anything other than what-we-now-call-liberal.
Not deep-blue Progressive or anything, mind you; I can see center-left as perfectly viable.
But not "neutral".
As a second aside, I tend to automatically discount anyone - especially any man - who uses the ludicrous "alpha/beta" distinction, especially as a first class distinction or entity.
That model never worked and continues to not work or be useful.
Naturally, it seems to only be used by people who see themselves as the "alphas".
This is often doubly ludicrous; if the paradigm were correct, a true alpha would probably not bother thinking about that model.)

"And also the smile-inducing(from me) rationalization of hers that the Right would be better off for awhile without anyone in the White House."
One of the best things that happened to the Right was Reagan's loss of the Republican presidential nomination to Gerald Ford in 1976, and Ford's loss in the election to Jimmy Carter.
Except you live with her every day, talking about wide ranging subjects. We only see the part that gets posted. You really can't see how "It's Over." equals "I Won." to some people?

You voted Obama. Sorry, any claim made to the right wing is not just invalid, but ridiculous, no matter what the obviously not sane Madisonians tell you.
Sigivald-
I read Richard Fernandez (picked him up when he was still at blogspot and Den Beste linked to him) but I don't read his comments section.
@RecChief: yes, I can see that. Still, she said 'it's over" what, once? Even accepting that "It's Over." equals "I Won," and granted she blogs about the topic of same-sex marriage frequently, how is it reasonable to claim that she says "it's over" "every few days"?
"One of the best things that happened to the Right was Reagan's loss of the Republican presidential nomination to Gerald Ford in 1976, and Ford's loss in the election to Jimmy Carter."
Reminds of the story Reagan liked to tell:
The parents of two brothers — one an incurable pessimist and the other an incurable optimist — took their sons to see a doctor in the hopes of curing the boys of their respective conditions. The physician started with the young pessimist. He took the boy into a room brimming with a mountain of new toys. "These are all yours," the doctor said. Immediately, the young pessimist burst into tears. "What's wrong?" His parents asked. "If I play with the toys, "the boy sobbed, "surely they will all break and be ruined."Next, the doctor tried his hand with the young optimist. Instead of toys, the doctor took his patient into a room filled with a mountain of horse dung. "This is for you." The doctor told him. With that, the boy smiled, so wide he could have eaten a banana sideways. Excited, he raced to the top of the mountain of manure, where, with his bare hands, he began digging into the pungent heap. Baffled, the doctor and the parents looked at one another quizzically, "Son," the father asked." What in heaven's name do you think you're doing?" "Well, the boy replied, with all this horse dung, I figure there's got to be a pony in there somewhere!"
If you close your eyes and listen close enough, you can almost hear Reagan's "Well..."
So I'll just say, Well... with all this manure left by Obama, I figure there's got to be a Ronald Reagan in there somewhere!
I'm a #1er.
Stopped reading immediately after I saw the term "betas" in the quoted comment.
I have contrarian tendencies and I like Althouse, fwiw. This is not based on any political position, but my perception of a mix of general character traits. How and why those traits translate into various positions I may agree or disagree with is interesting, but secondary.
For example, I'm far more forgiving of women of a certain gen, like Hillary, who were not completely independent in their rise to the top. Men do not make it as 'independently' as that gen were asked to make it. They make allies among other men. Women were in the position of being new and in need of allies/acceptance in unwelcoming circles of power made almost entirely out of the gender they had sex with. Of course you're going to get some Hillary/Bill situations, even from purists; It creates resentment, but was inevitable.
SOJO-
OK, but what about Margaret Thatcher?
Geraldine Ferraro?
The top job matters too much to make allowances for time and place. We're not hiring an HR director.
Just because FoxNews lets Alan Holmes talk every now and then doesn't mean it is a far-left network. Is Althouse still being sold to advertisers as one of the top conservative blogs in the nation? Follow the money; it will always point you to the answer.
And when people say that Ann is going to vote for Hillary no matter what, does that mean they think Scott Walker won't be on the ticket in 2016?
None of the above perfessor. I find you entertaining, intellectually stimulating and not too bad on the eyes.
@Meade,
So she typed those words once. From here, It looks like the same attitude is in most of the posts about same sex marriage. Dismissive about concerns over consequences, which, by the way, I see a NY court just ruled that an Uncle and Niece can marry. Is that unintended consequence of Gay Marriage? I don't care about the frequency of the posts. You said you couldn't see 'the end zone dances and I wanted to kow if you really couldn't see anything construed in that way. On the other hand, I only know Althouse from what I see written here, whereas you live with her.
Althouse wrote;
"It's just not true that I feel a pull to vote for the woman,"
But I don't think it's about voting for a woman, like it would be about voting for Burke.
This would be historical. Like the first black president, she would be the first woman president.
I think that is what gets your vote, but you don't realize it. I think that's why you voted for Obama, even though you have reasons you voted against McCain.
"You are remember incorrectly. "
All your base are belong to us.
@Meade- she admitted that was her attitude one time, but even as she was doing that she said she'd been making that point for a year. What, we weren't supposed to notice?
I don't think it's accurate to characterize you as a "big liberal." "Reflexive liberal," maybe.
It does seem pretty clear that your opinion of conservatism stems less from an interest in classic conservatism than from observing the commentary on your blog which frequently reflects "reflexive" conservatism or libertarianism, my own included.
The people who vilify you for your conservative leanings, or whatever, are the progressives who expect college professors to tow their line.
For the past 8 years, up to an including this very day, she has been actively campaigning for Scott Walker, and yet people STILL insist Althouse is a "liberal"?
Precious, simply precious.
oops. for the past 4 years. My bad.
For the past 8 years, up to an including this very day, she has been actively campaigning for Scott Walker - madisonfella
Umm, she has been providing a side of the story that one doesn't get from the mainstream media. She has been pointing out some atrocious behavior on the part of the Wisconsin "deep state" which has it in for Walker.
If getting the truth about the whole Walker situation in Wisconsin = "actively campaigning" then great! What does "actively campaigning" for Burke look like? Not pointing out the prosecutorial abuses against Walker?
Is Althouse still being sold to advertisers as one of the top conservative blogs in the nation? Follow the money; it will always point you to the answer. - Madisonfella
Are there ads her on Althouse? I mean besides the importunings to use her Amazon portal?
Do you even think about what you write? You should take a deep breath after you leave Kos or DemocraticUndergound and ask yourself some simple questions before making yourself look like a fool. After all, I checked for ads before writing this.
Oh, you mean that little blogad? That is the price to buy off Althouse's integrity, the revenue from that ad?
I am sure it is in your fever dreams.
Krumhorn said...
Pham's #1 isn't accurate. Our hostess isn't a "big liberal". Nor is she a cock-tease pretending to a view she doesn't really embrace.
Most boomers were classic liberals at one time and many still are, but sometime later decided that contemporary lefties have agendas that are toxic. Still, habits are hard to break, and this is particularly true when environmental factors such as the faculty lounge and Madison, in general, are nothing more than an ideological hothouse that unquestioningly cultivates an emotional embrace of leftie-ness.
I credit Ann with her willingness to articulate the other guy's point reasonably well. In the process, she has broken with the blinkered conventions that contaminate leftie thought.
However, this much, I think is also true about Ann. All things being equal, she'd vote for someone like Ed Koch, a liberal with sanity. Or Patrick Moynihan.
But then, under the right conditions (but not the same conditions), I would too. However, none of that breed currently exists. Today, what we see is all pretty much insane.

I hope Althouse's scheme to get fabulously wealthy as a purveyor of black and white blog ads for, in my case anyway, 1 TB hard drives, a $50 dollar item is working!
I bet she and Glen Beck share sinister chuckles constantly about how rich they are and how few people are smart enough to "follow the money" like madisonfella is.
Men pay good money to "cock-teases" who are really good at it. I don't see it as an insult.

And then there was the post that ultimately led to The Meltdown. That was a beaut.
Yes, there are ads beyond the Amazon conduit. The fact that you repeatedly insist there aren't any speaks volumes.
The Conservative Blog Network states they have "over 120 top conservative blogs, from national voices like Althouse and Powerline to regional and local right wing sites."
http://web.blogads.com/advertise/conservative_blog_advertising_network
Are you saying that advertisers are being lied to when they are told that Althouse is one of the top conservative blogs? Do you believe it is false representation to sell this site as such?
@Curious Birkel in Vermont:
I never said that she is being paid off by these ads (Tho, the fact that is how your thought process works speaks volumes), rather it is being pointed out that this blog is being sold to advertisers as one of the top conservative voices in the country, while you are insisting she is a lefty liberal libtard.
Both statements can't be correct. So are you wrong or are advertisers being lied to?

Bwa ha ha ha!
Follow the money! You said that, "follow the money" that ad probably produces 1.5 cents a view tops.
Keep going, I couldn't ridicule you any better than you are doing to yourself!
Plus it is pretty funny that you seem to think I am some kind of sock puppet. Your unhinged rants about "follow the money" make that kind of stuff even sweeter.
I am standing by my claim that there are actual ads on this blog beyond the amazon conduit, which you disputed.
I also stand by my claim that those ads are sold via the Conservative Blog Network, which sells this site as one of the top conservative blogs in the nation. Are you disputing that as well?
So the "Conservative Blog Network"'s advertising claims are your authority?
Follow the money! You will never go wrong!
How did that turn into "swallow the marketing claims of a small internet business whole"?
Never said they are an authority on the subject, but rather simply pointing out that they are selling this blog as one of the top conservative blogs in the country.
Is it your claim that they are misrepresenting this blog by labeling it as conservative?
I'm pretty sure there have been multiple instances of Althouse triumphalism on gay marriage. I'll admit that, like most intensely annoying things, they probably don't happen as often as I remember them happening.
It is her cruel neutrality that I find most atractive.
Thanks, Paul. You're one of her best commenters and I appreciate your reply to my question.
This blog tolerates conservatives in a way that most liberal blogs don't, you may be confusing the blog with the comments. If you think this is a conservative blog, you should get out more.
Smalldeadanimals is a conservative blog, so is blazing cat fur which is so conservative Google gives it a content warning.
I could go on, these are not easy to link by hand so I won't.
The point is that this is not a conservative blog, whatever the "conservative blogging network" ad salesmen say.

Eric. I'm blamin' the menopause so she gets a pass. My brother on the otherhand gets reams of shit from me every time we talk. "About time we had a black president." my ass.
So, blog readers (or political blog readers) are mostly white and mostly male. What does that say about blogs? What does that say about the habit of reading and commenting on blogs? And why must it say something negative? (As seems to be the implication whenever any activity is engaged by mostly white males.) And what does that say, if anything, about those who don't engage in such activities? And could it possibly be a negative thing that all those folks who aren't white males don't read political/cultural commentary blogs? Why is the opposite always implied? Are the habitual readers of Jezebel more virtuous? (I think we know the answer to that question.)
"but she had some good reasons not to vote for McCain..."
Every single person in the country had good reasons not to vote for McCain... but there was one reason to vote FOR him that trumped all the rest: he was running against total-empty-slate-poseur Obama.
You guys need to consider easing up on her.
McCain never once led in Wisconsin polls in 2008 where Obama ended up beating him by 6%. If I had been registered to vote in Wisconsin in 2008, I likely would have voted for Obama over the "lesser evil" McCain.
That was 2008 guys. It hasn't been 2008 for nearly 6 years. Let's move forward, shall we? I mean, would it kill you to scratch up a little charity while eschewing the malice? How about giving her a little credit for striving to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations?
Really. Would it?
@Meade -- not really -- I want to her to stick to cruel neutrality.
Now that's the spirit!
I take "it's over" in the same sense that Orwell did here:
"Consequently there was a long period during which nearly every thinking man was in some sense a rebel, and usually a quite irresponsible rebel. Literature was largely the literature of revolt or of disintegration. Gibbon, Voltaire, Rousseau, Shelley, Byron, Dickens, Stendhal, Samuel Butler, Ibsen, Zola, Flaubert, Shaw, Joyce — in one way or another they are all of them destroyers, wreckers, saboteurs. For two hundred years we had sawed and sawed and sawed at the branch we were sitting on. And in the end, much more suddenly than anyone had foreseen, our efforts were rewarded, and down we came. But unfortunately there had been a little mistake. The thing at the bottom was not a bed of roses after all, it was a cesspool full of barbed wire."
From Notes On The Way.
As you appeal to the authority of Orwell's genius, remember that 9 years after writing Notes On The Way, Orwell developed a notebook known as "Orwell's List". It was a contribution of his to the collective effort to push back post-war communism.
Fine with me — push back communism. Particularly Sovietism.
But that List also reflected what seems to have been Orwell's willingness to let first drop into that "cesspool full of barbed wire" — Jews, blacks, and homosexuals.
News to me. Cite please!
And I suggest you take "it's over" in the same sense as I think was meant by the blogger — the power to use the law to repress the equal rights of same-sex oriented Americans "is over". Whether you choose to continue fighting that particular culture war or you choose to accept the new national order, you simply do not have numbers.
She wasn't saying your traditional religious values must be abandoned but that American politics have most likely changed permanently and it is now time to move on, to fight — winnable — political battles.
And then, on this blog, all hell broke loose.
"the power to use the law to repress the equal rights of same-sex oriented Americans 'is over'".
Some of us completely deny that this is what the same-sex marriage fight was about. Surely you know that.
"News to me. Cite please!"
Google "Orwell's List". Knock yourself out.
Meade, you're quoting/paraphrasing Alexander Cockburn. link
Shame on you and may you too feel a burning sensation.
Shaming is what many lefty/Progs here in Madison engage in. It's part of what Orwell called goodthink. Not unlike your echo chamber over there at Lem's where you have Dolan and Haz, Spinelli and Fox and others serving as your thoughtpol who help keep you free and safe from thoughtcrimes aka, independent thinking.

It's time for Jeb Bush to withdraw and endorse Marco Rubio.
You may think it's a little early for this, but as Joe Biden said yesterday, it's already late. Look at the Real Clear Politics summary of the polls:
Trump dominates, but only with less than one third. Carson does well. The others are struggling to make much of a showing, but somebody needs to emerge as the political mainstream candidate, and I think that person will be Rubio, sooner or later. Jeb Bush should figure that out and do something to help now, when it would be most helpful. Jeb's candidacy has failed. Not completely, not yet, but he hasn't built his poll numbers, he's lost ground, and his self-presentation has been weak. I like his mild manner, but it's "low energy," as Trump puts it, and, as I'd put it, just not competitive and forceful enough to gain ground in this field. Rubio, by contrast, has some combative heft.
Biden showed how to make a beautiful, graceful exit, and Jeb can do even better, because Hillary didn't need Biden's endorsement. She only needed him to get out of the way, and now she's gloriously in the lead and on track for the nomination. Oh? Do you think she might commit suicide at today's Benghazi hearing? Don't make me laugh. I'm laughing like this:
Jeb can do better than Biden, because he can embrace and throw his full support to Rubio when Rubio needs it to get traction for the hard climb to the nomination. Do it now, Jeb, when it matters so much.
ADDED: In fact, every GOP candidate who is not Trump or Carson should look around right now and figure out who, other than himself, he should support. (That includes Fiorina. I'm just using the masculine pronoun for the singular. Old-school grammar.)

I say wait for the first votes to be cast.
Inevitable candidate Howard Dean agrees with me. Yeearrrggg!
Beware of charming, handsome young Senators!
I am starting to like Rubio myself, and I liked Jeb, but I agree. Maybe Jeb isn't Fredo getting in the boat just yet, but Jeb should withdraw.
Hillary's laughing at all of us, Ann, laughing at our laziness and stupidity. Including yours.
@MayBee It's different this time because of the Trump/Carson phenomenon. Those who care about getting a political-mainstream candidate need to do something now, because the outsider-protest phenomenon is so strong. It needs a firm, clear answer now. In my opinion, Rubio is the best solution.
Jeb should, and eventually will, drop out, simply because despite his name recognition, lead of endorsements, and mountain of cash, he is making no headway in the polls but more importantly he's consistently revealed himself unready for this campaign which is inexcusable. Whoever faces Hillary next year will not be given any freebies--it will be ugly, dirty and harsh and Jeb is not ready for that. His feeble shots at Trump and his deer-in-headlights responses to questions he should have been ready for ("was Iraq War a mistake?") show a level of campaign incompetence. When the donors abandon him, he'll drop out.
Rubio's pretty good at debates and in speeches, and he strikes me as someone who could aggressively go after Hillary without alienating large numbers of voters. I don't know if he could get the nomination though.
Rubio has to like where he is sitting -- first place in the real candidate department protected from the reality TV portion of the presidential campaign by Trump and Carson. He can continue to build his organization, raise funds and put himself in the public eye when it favors him.
Althouse- I don't think we know if it's really different this time until we see how people actually turn out to vote in Iowa and New Hampshire.
"Althouse- I don't think we know if it's really different this time until we see how people actually turn out to vote in Iowa and New Hampshire."
The risk in waiting is worse. Act now, when it will help.
Rubio is a terrible non-solution because anyone who thinks that the immigration issue is important knows that he cannot be trusted on that. Many conservatives now understand that this is the most important issue and, like Romney on O'Care, Rubio is the worst choice.
"Rubio's pretty good at debates and in speeches, and he strikes me as someone who could aggressively go after Hillary without alienating large numbers of voters. I don't know if he could get the nomination though."
If he can just keep hydrated and not sweat to much... or make sweating seem cool. (You know Hillary doesn't sweat at all.)
Rubio has the youthful vigor that can make Hillary look old, and he's got the ethnic distinction that can overshadow Hillary's proffered first-ness.
"Rubio has to like where he is sitting -- first place in the real candidate department protected from the reality TV portion of the presidential campaign by Trump and Carson. He can continue to build his organization, raise funds and put himself in the public eye when it favors him."
True, there's a sort of protection in staying just below the radar. Though if you're going to rise, you'll have to be ready for that spotlight.
I'd say the "undercards" ought to drop out soon--Jindal, Pataki, Graham, Santorum--if they didn't catch fire yet I don't see how they can effectively fundraise and organize enough to make a good showing later. Kasich would make a good president, but clearly isn't catching fire either. Paul, like his father, may stick around but isn't going to rise much, and the votes he's taking won't affect the other candidates either way. Huckabee seems to be mostly taking votes Cruz would have got. Christie I'm not sure about.
I wonder to what extent money drives the decisions on when to get out. Candidates for the Presidency have to raise lots of money and hire lots of staff and make lots of medium-term commitments. Sometimes they announce what amounts to a "stall" in the candidacy just to keep the machine going long enough to pay everyone off. Jeb may be that kind of candidate. Could take a while.
I don't think Jeb's heart is into it. He would make a nice Vice President though. He would persuade a lot of Floridians to vote for the top of the ticket.
"If he can just keep hydrated and not sweat to much... or make sweating seem cool. (You know Hillary doesn't sweat at all.)"
I'm sure they can fix that--any campaign with more than $1 million can figure out how to releive sweating for the big debates and appearances. A Floridian should know this.
"Rubio has the youthful vigor that can make Hillary look old, and he's got the ethnic distinction that can overshadow Hillary's proffered first-ness."
It's what it took for her to be beaten in 2008. The GOP would do well to learn from Obama.
Yes, Scott, Jeb probably would make a good VP, especially if the top guy is a lunatic like Trump or a newbie like Cruz. But then again, Jeb is not a fighter, and they say you need a down-and-dirty fighter in the VP candidacy.
Hillary should never laugh. That's a dreadful clip for her.
"Rubio is a terrible non-solution because anyone who thinks that the immigration issue is important knows that he cannot be trusted on that. Many conservatives now understand that this is the most important issue and, like Romney on O'Care, Rubio is the worst choice."
If I have a choice between someone who appears to have learned his lesson on that issue, and Hillary who has basically promised to go way farther than any Republican--and use her executive powers where she cannot get Congress to act--I know what my choice is.
As another commenter pointed out, Cartago delenda est. Hillary must be stopped.
"Hillary should never laugh. That's a dreadful clip for her."
She was probably thinking about that rapist she defended. (I don't mean Bill this time)
"Rubio is a terrible non-solution because anyone who thinks that the immigration issue is important knows that he cannot be trusted on that."
Those people are not the main target of the proposed Jeb-Rubio consolidation, which is for moderates and mainstreamers like me.
I understand why folks are attracted to Trump; I don't understand the appeal of Carson - other than he's a good man, and an accomplished physician.
I agree with Tank that illegal immigration is a critical issue and that Rubio has been squishy on it. However, if Hillary wins, then the illegal floodgates will open wide - as a matter of Democratic policy. So, I think it's more important that Hillary be defeated by any GOP candidate, even Rubio, or Jeb!
Yes, the splintered GOP field should start narrowing. Huckabee, Paul, Jindal, Pataki, Gilmore should drop out and endorse. Walker and Perry should endorse. The splintering of 17 candidates hurts now that Hillary has a clear, unobstructed path to the nomination.
Not to spoil the party here or anything but none of this matters. Trump is gonna win the nomination. He's the man of the moment, an outsider who can appeal to voters in both parties. Dilbert creator Scott Adams is now predicting not just the nomination but the presidency and in a landslide ...65%.
It pains me to say it but, he's right. Trump is the next president.
If "those people" are not motivated to vote, you're gonna get the Vagina Candidate.
1) It's time to start viewing polls as unreliable indicators of success.
2) ...but if we do rely on them, apparently the thing to do is ignore the data showing large leads of 'outsiders' and assume the first 'mainstream' candidate has an insurmountable lead?
LOL! Biden made a graceful exit by never entering at all. And the glee with which you celebrate Hillary Clinton's disgraceful behavior and imperial haughtiness should be embarrassing to someone who considers herself honest, fair and judicious. Your democrat progressive bias is showing and it makes you look ridiculous.
Biden is just "Biden" his time, until Hillary goes down for her lies in Benghazi and the Emails. THEN he can come out and SAVE the Democrats from Bernie, without losing any of Hillarys supporters. Please...why do you think he announced YESTERDAY in the Rose Garden with Obama?? Hillary is a known Liar...(look at how she got fired when investigating Nixon because she was a known Liar back then) Why anyone would want her as president is beyond me!!
Jeb should quit and Fiorina should cut a deal with Rubio for VP.
"which is for moderates and mainstreamers like me."
Mmm-hmm.
"Hillary doesn't sweat at all. " LMAO! Yeah I know- Snakes don't perspire.
Althouse sez:
"Those people are not the main target of the proposed Jeb-Rubio consolidation, which is for moderates and mainstreamers like me."
I think our gallant hostess is right about this. She will flirt with voting for a moderate GOP candidate, but ultimately pull the trigger for Hillary. but, in general, I do think she is right . I hope our Conservative friends reach cognition on the fact that, unlike, say, the Governor's race in Texas, where the most Conservative candidate will win, there are too many liberal, moderates, squishy middle-types in the National election to go purely Conservative. Reagan understood this - anybody remember the Reagan-Democrats? Goldwater did not understand this, hence no President Goldwater.
Memo to Conservatives - if you want to win, be flexible. If you want to be really, really, Conservative, then accept losing.
Biden is just "Biden" his time, until Hillary goes down for her lies in Benghazi and the Emails.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that Hillary! will be announced the victor in all these scandals. The MSM headlines have already been written.
Right now, Trump has zero votes and I see nothing in this campaign that leads me to believe his vote total will change. Literally. I don't just mean most of his "supporters" won't really vote for him, I mean that when he drops out, it will be with the same number of votes he has today because his name will not be on any ballots.
The mainstream candidate will emerge as the pretenders drop out. I can understand your eagerness to get on with it, but it will happen in its own time. No party gets the best candidate by circling around a "front runner" too early.
"I hope our Conservative friends reach cognition on the fact that, unlike, say, the Governor's race in Texas, where the most Conservative candidate will win, there are too many liberal, moderates, squishy middle-types in the National election to go purely Conservative. Reagan understood this - anybody remember the Reagan-Democrats? Goldwater did not understand this, hence no President Goldwater."
It's also a matter of simple math. While some conservatives plausibly will not bother to vote for a "moderate" Republican and let a leftist Democrat become president, it is implausible that such voters would actually vote for the Democrat. However, a moderate voter who is turned off by a "too conservative" Republican may well not just not vote Republican, but actually vote for the Democrat (if the latter is not seen as too extreme). So the loss of moderates causes twice the damage as the loss of conservatives.
I think also a lot of people (both moderates and conservatives) are letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, and forgetting that ultimately all the principled votes in the world add up to nothing if your candidate doesn't win. We have to consider our ideal candidate who can actually win, otherwise we're right back to this conversation when Hillary is gearing up for her reelection and we're all blaming each other for how it went wrong in 2016.
And believe me, a Hillary presidency will make us look longingly on the wise and reasonable tenure of Obama.
"I don't think Jeb's heart is into it. He would make a nice Vice President though. He would persuade a lot of Floridians to vote for the top of the ticket."
But he can't be VP to Rubio. It's unconstitutional.

Hillbilly high jinx. I must admit, it is a great time to be a smug liberal!
I don't know why people don't believe I'd vote for a moderate Republican. I voted for Romney. I voted for Bush in 2004.
I don't see any depth in Trump's support. I see people inclined to be entertained by his shtick. I've seen no signs of Trump organizing folks to show up and support him in a caucus.
I don't see your average Trump voter sitting through a caucus in Iowa. It requires far more effort and interest than simply voting.
Mrs. Clinton in 2008 actually had more general support in Iowa than Obama, but everyone who supported Obama turned out on caucus night while those inclined towards supporting Mrs. Clinton stayed home.
That was a quiet admission that will ring softly and long in the comment section here.
I'm probably gonna comment way too often and incoherently here because I'm glued to the computer, watching the Hillary/Benghazi hearing. Still only on opening statements. So far, Gowdy and Hillary have emphasized the honor of those four fine men. Cummings is playing bad cop, emphasizing what a horrible bunch of demons, including Gowdy, is.
Hillary's voice is breaking here and there. Is she man enough to be POTUS?
That may not be true, at least according to Wikipedia, not that Wikipedia is exactly beyond reproach.
I don't think people don't think you would vote republican, I think people have been predicting for years that you are all in for a Hillary presidency. Despite an awful and faltering campaign, despite a scandal plagued career, and an ongoing FBI investigation, you are right there with Hillary, sticking your tongue out at republicans, and laughing away because you are so cocksure you are going to win.
Ooh, big voice break. That's the lead story right now. Hillary's playing "trying not to cry Hillary".
Rubio would be ideal in the VP slot for the GOP. He could help win Florida, cut into the Dems advantage with the Hispanic vote and add some youthful vigor to the ticket. But I think he's too young and inexperienced for POTUS, we recently made that mistake.
The problem is who should be at the top of the GOP ticket? An experienced governor from a swing or blue state would make sense in terms of winning the election. I initially thought that Kasich would would fit that bill, but as mentioned here he hasn't caught on. (I doubt that 20% of the electorate could spell his name correctly - I had to check for this comment).
Ethanol, ethanol, ethanol... doesn't anyone in Iowa believe that blatant Christian virtue as the only way a man gets support anymore?
Who cares what happens to Farmville anyway.
JEB cannot quit. That would taint the Bush organization, and Momma Barbara would't like that. There are grandchildren ready to run next.
The question is really how will Bush, Inc pay to get the GOP establishment's Priebus Court to declare Trump's nomination illegal.
Rubio has the youthful vigor that can make Hillary look old
Abe Vigoda has the youthful vigor that can make Hillary look old.
"But he can't be VP to Rubio. It's unconstitutional."
That's easily fixed. In 2000 Cheney changed his official residence from Texas to Wyoming. Bush could just move to Maine or Texas.
Jeb should throw his support to Hillary.
The constitutional problem isn't an outright disqualification, but it's a problem sufficient to prevent the nomination:
Amendment 12: "The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves...."
SayAahh said...
Hillary may not sweat but she still reeks.
I vote: none of the above.
Worst candidates in my voting lifetime...and that has been a long one.
Reminds me of a criminal line up.
If it is Hillary! for the Democrats, I would hope Carson/Fiorina for the Republicans and we would see the Democrats run against that in their full ugliness.
On the other hand, that campaign speech announcement of Biden's was an odd one, and maybe we should wait a little and see what Obama has up his sleeve.
I'm now warming to Rubio. I wouldn't vote for Jeb or Trump if my life depended on it, so I guess he seems like the Adult In the Room.
This primary season is so weird that there is really no guidance for action here. Should the moderates line up behind one candidate or would that make matters worse giving the chosen one the stink of the establishment? Is Trump unstoppable regardless or is he already doomed and the other candidates just need to ride this out? Would taking Carson seriously actually make him a serious candidate or do you leave him alone and let the electorate realize that he is a good and accomplished man but of dubious as a President? Is this all irrelevant because Hillary is inevitable, or is she going to jail (and really she should already be in jail)? Who knows!
Of course, this all assumes that Jeb is thinking about the best for the party and/or country as opposed to desiring to be President. One typically does not run for President without having an ego. Drop out and support the junior politician from his home state before a single vote is cast? Humiliating!
My guess is any candidate that has the money to stick around until Iowa will do so and see if the Trump and Carson support actually exists or is a polling artifact. Then expect a big shake out once the reality of the race becomes apparent, occurring no later than South Carolina.
AA: Those who care about getting a political-mainstream candidate need to do something now, because the outsider-protest phenomenon is so strong. It needs a firm, clear answer now. In my opinion, Rubio is the best solution.
He's a "solution" in the same way that Romney was a "solution". It was precisely the "outsider-protest phenomenon" in its then nascent, passive form that sank Romney. The GOPe candidates already have the "moderate", "mainstream" vote. It's not enough to win.
But as someone who takes the long view that clearing away the GOP deadwood is an unavoidable step in the salutary re-alignment of American politics (going on even as we speak), I'd have to agree that Rubio is, indeed, the best "solution" for the Republicans.
Brando: I think also a lot of people (both moderates and conservatives) are letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, and forgetting that ultimately all the principled votes in the world add up to nothing if your candidate doesn't win.
That particular cliché ("the perfect...") is awfully popular with the party faithful these days. But if "Hillary delenda est" is what matters most, then it works just as well as an admonition to get behind Trump as it does as a plea to support Rubio (or whomever). If things shaped up such that Trump appeared to have as good as, or a better, chance of winning the national election than any of your preferred candidates (and that's not as absurd a hypothetical as some people like to think it is), I trust you'd be willing to swallow your own bromides.
Hillary just said "counselate" twice in testimony. That rhymes with "downs-il-it". She either doesn't know the spelling of the word "consulate" or doesn't know how to pronounce it. Maybe it's that danged Southern accent.
Re: Althouse:
I understand why he's considered electable, but "young" and "ethnic" just don't seem like particularly meaningful qualifications for the presidency. Sure, maybe that's what the voters are looking for (cf. Obama), but I just can't get behind him. In all honesty, I'm not sure I'd vote for him over Clinton II. Even if I agreed with his policies, he just seems so inexperienced. Maybe because he looks even younger than he is.
Of course, I'm not really the voter the Republican establishment needs to win over -- I'd find it hard to vote for Carson or Trump either. Bush III, I could imagine voting for (but he has not persuaded me yet). Fiorina, I am open to. Cruz, I find lawyer-ish and offputting . . . hmm. Honestly, there's a lot of options but none of them seems particularly confidence-inspiring.
Rubio would be better than Hillary. Drop out Jeb.
We may not like it, but identity politics is a huge thing. I don't think that the Republican Party should turn into a cult of personality they way the Democrats have. There should be many people who could do the job of POTUS in our part. But alas, the America we live in, identity politics is a fact. So better to take somebody who agrees with us on most issues *and* brings votes from identity politics. I a Rubio Carson ticket would win in a landslide, and would be conservative enough.
Carson is far more authentically black, in the sense of the American black experience, than Obama ever was, and will resonate with evangelicals and, in case nobody has noticed, black Americans, who also still say grace before eating in large numbers.
I am an atheist myself, but I don't feel threatened by Christians and see them as allies in a common struggle.
C Stanley said...
Jeb! Is toxic and his endorsement of any other candidate, should he drop out, would be the ruin of that other candidate. Better to think of which other candidate you want to lose, and promote the idea that Jeb should endorse that person.
I'm going to enjoy watching you guys squirm and sweat all the way to Trump getting the nomination.

This is total nonsense. I saw Trump in Vegas. His supporters are passionate. Going to that event required far more effort than voting and the place was packed.
To all the people who don't think Trump supporters won't have the right stuff to sit through the Iowa caucuses: You haven't seen a line of Trump supporters waiting in 90 degree heat in early September in Rochester, N.H. to get into an even hotter high school gym or seen them stand in line in near freezing temps in Tyngsborough, Mass. while waiting to get into a grammar school gym with bleacher seating for their comfort.
Althouse, who is surrounded by leftists day in and day out, imagines she's moderate and mainstream. Is there something special about a law prof that allows her to contemplate a Hillary candidacy without laying out a case that, as a career criminal, Hillary should be in jail not walking around free, with secret service protection, paid for by us.
This list is going to get longer everyday but Hillary delenda est, Democrats delenda est, Republicans delenda est, and now I think Academe delenda est.
Chris Arabia said...I saw Trump in Vegas. His supporters are passionate. Going to that event required far more effort than voting and the place was packed.
Maybe so, but Trump was actually there. That's a different thing.
The GOP is actually in favor of Mexican and Central American Hispanic immigration, says Eric Cantor in a BBC interview, and he also says he won the GOP vote in Virginia. Those pesky Dems who crossed over to vote him out were his problem, not immigration. And by the way Trump is not a GOP Conservative either.
Who knew. Open borders is monetary internationalism supported by true GOP conservatives. Trump is too pro American for them. Oh oh, I said American when Cantor would say the North American Province.
Re: Michael Fitzgerald:
Really? I think Althouse has actually been pretty skeptical of Clinton over the years. I feel like I'm a bigger backer of Clinton II than she is, even after my enthusiasm has waned (significantly) after her mismanagement of the Benghazi affair.
Other than Benghazi, I feel like most of the scandals are a bit of a sideshow. Yes, even the emails. After all, Wikileaks and the OPM hack captured huge volumes of data off our wonderfully secure government-run servers, so I find it difficult to muster all that much outrage about her using an unsecured personal server. Unlike those jokers at the EPA and so on who were clearly using personal email to circumvent FOIA, her use of her personal server seems to have been pretty open and notorious since she didn't even get a state.gov email address set up in the first place. Although I'm sure she was keen on not having her emails discoverable through the FOIA process too, as would generally be true of all government officials, I am sure.
My problem with the server isn't so much that it was insecure, it is that her only possible motive for it was to have the power to destroy communications she doesn't want to come out in an investigation.
Re: traditionalguy:
On immigration, one thing that's frustrating is the continuing, intentional effort to elide the difference between legal immigrants -- who respected our sovereignty and laws -- and illegal immigrants whose first move one passing into the US was to crap all over our laws. It will no doubt come as a shock to some open borders supporters, but Mexicans and other Latin Americans are perfectly capable of complying with US immigration laws! Just look at the stats there. Not all immigrants to the US are illegal immigrants!
(b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.
Or Obama could simply choose not to enforce the law against a fellow Democrat.
That's the kind of good government that Democrats stand for, right?
When Democratic members question Hillary, her voice breaks. When Republicans question her, she filibusters.
Chelsea, please post the playbook.

I would. And despite everyone's threats to "stay home" I believe they would too. I can't remember ever having my "ideal" candidate as a nominee in the general election, but have had to swallow the bile and vote anyway when the alternative was significantly worse.
Re: Tim in Vermont:
Sure, but that's an age-old concern. Lord Salisbury once had copies of a memo typed up in-room and then distributed in a cabinet meeting. After his colleagues had read it, he had all the copies thrown in the fire. And in a perhaps somewhat closer analogue to the current situation, he kept the records of all his correspondence while he was Foreign Secretary (which post he held during most of his long premiership), at his ancestral manor, Hatfield, rather than at the Foreign Office. Officials are always trying to circumvent disclosure. The preferred approach these days is to send obscure emails saying things like "call me" or "we need to talk" or leaving voicemails saying the same.
I'm not going to defend her behaviour affirmatively -- obviously we put laws like FOIA in place for a reason, and that reason was to terrorise our officials by reminding them that they are our servants. It's just hard for me to get outraged by the server.
"I think our gallant hostess is right about this. She will flirt with voting for a moderate GOP candidate, but ultimately pull the trigger for Hillary. but, in general, I do think she is right . I hope our Conservative friends reach cognition on the fact that, unlike, say, the Governor's race in Texas, where the most Conservative candidate will win, there are too many liberal, moderates, squishy middle-types in the National election to go purely Conservative. Reagan understood this - anybody remember the Reagan-Democrats? Goldwater did not understand this, hence no President Goldwater."
You guys are misunderstanding the electorate. The electorate doesn't want a "moderate." The zeitgeist is described as a sliding bar between liberal and conservative with moderates in the middle. This is garbage. They want someone who actually cares about what the electorate wants. The electorate wants our politics to stop being dominated by big money. There are a variety of issues that swing all over the place. But the electorate is not "moderate" on immigration or gun control for example.
Trump is seeing this more clearly than the rest. His politics are all over the place on the liberal-conservative spectrum and incidentally that makes him the most "moderate" pol up there. The electorate overwhelmingly thinks the game is rigged by rich people and wants someone to shake it up.
I'm ready for President Trump. And, unlike some of the pickled old doom-sayers, I think he'll do a great job. As good as Reagan, if not better. Trump believes in America, and I think the policies he's espoused so far come from a place of sincerity that is normally hidden from the public. I've listened to some of his speeches in their entirety, and I did not come away with the impression that he was a clown, or a farce, or unserious. Everyone calling him that is just voicing their own hopes that he'll go away because . . . . reasons.
Whether you're in the Rubio or Trump wing, ultimately one group is going to have to accept a candidate they're not thrilled with, and accept that the Dem nominee--who is now beyond question going to be one of the most corrupt and incompetent nominees the Dems have put up in modern times--is a far worse prospect than your least preferred GOP candidate. The Dems seem to get this--they don't tear at each other the way GOPers do, and are even (crazily, I think) lining up behind Hillary despite her unethical, dishonest and possibly criminal behavior, and willingness to throw every one of them under the bus. The Dems are far more scared of GOP control than the GOP is of Dem control.
Hopefully this primary doesn't get ugly enough to hobble whoever has to face her. The GOP made Obama's job easy back in 2012, and Hillary's smear team does not need any help.
I would vote for Hillary, the criminal psychopath, over Trump.
"Obama voter desperately seeks Republican she can vote for." Suckaniggas! Cruz in the tenth round. Then be the socialist you are or move along.
F>G>
I think Jeb is toast also, but does Rubio really have a chance?? I doubt it.
Scott Walker would have been head and shoulders over Rubio.
Rubio's main asset is that he's young, cute and a Hispanic. I don't think he's going to get the serious voters. He was always in this for the VP slot.
Rubio has two main problems. He is too young and cute! He does not look presidential at all, and he has virtually no meaningful experience. Trump trumps him there. The second of his main problems is that he is not on the right side of the immigration issue, which appears to be decisive at this point. If Walker had come out more strongly and consistently on that, he would still be in the race. So what does he really have over Jeb Bush except a last name that's not "Bush"?
We have a problem, but let the voters decide. Sanders is doing Hillary a huge favor by shifting her campaign rhetoric more to the left (appealing to the base), and we are better off letting the GOP candidate salad be tossed by the electoral process to try to get some sort of meaningful agenda set.
I do passionately wish that Hillary were not such a slimeball, but like everyone else, I will have to roll with the electoral punches.
I began this electoral cycle willing to vote for either a Democrat or a Republican candidate with some real governing background and any sort of ethics. That need should not have been too hard to satisfy, but it's not going to happen. And Rubio doesn't fill my bill.
Rubio is the Hispanic version of Obama. He's not a crook, he's very light on the experience, and he has a bunch of inspirational ideas with no clue how to take care of the store. The Democratic party has taken severe hits over Obama's presidential career - he may be Teflon, but the grease that slides off has stuck to the state and Congressional Dems and formed a toxic oil slick. The GOP would probably be better off not trying to reproduce that recipe.
In the end, we have to govern this country. We have to reach a consensus on how to deal with immigration, joblessness, and an ever-growing gap in social funding sustainability. As close as I am to assuming the fetal position over this campaign cycle, I suspect it is better to let it run its course.
I'm the opposite. As stated before upthread, I think Trump believes in the overall greatness of America.
I can't conceive of a way Hillary would get my vote.
PDM said...
The Trump deniers remind me of the poll-deniers in our last election. I was among them. I simply could not believe, through the day of the election, that Obama's lead was what the pollsters kept saying it was, or that somehow, some way, Romney wouldn't come through. With Trump it's the opposite. I can't believe the poll numbers really mean what they show on their face. But this time, I'm keeping my mouth shut until those numbers are actually tested. Because the numbers may mean what they look like they mean, whether I like it or not.
Old school grammar. God bless you.
In fact, every GOP candidate who is not Trump or Carson, should look around right now and figure out who, other than himself, he should support.
I'd venture that each one, with the possible exception of Trump, has already considered that question, and has made his tentative choice. However, until the pool of hopefuls has been winnowed down to three or four the candidate does himself and the process no favors by revealing it.
And thanks for the good grammar, Professor.
It's plain funny that a baboon like Trump prom8sing mass deportations is going to be the GOP nominee.
We'll build a wall, on day one, a great big huge wall, a Trump Wall. And Mexicans will pay for it!
Is there a bigger sucker alive than a Trump supporter?
@Achilles
Love your service to our country (myself, served in Reagan/Bush era) and probably agree with you on most policies . On politics, though, (don't shoot me:) I think you may be off. Here's why:
You guys are misunderstanding the electorate. The electorate doesn't want a "moderate."
At the presidential level, respectfully, the electorate does mostly want a moderate. Since 1964, there's only been 1 Conservative Prez -- Reagan. The rest were moderates. And, Reagan, people forget this, pulled Democrats in from the center over to his side. Even GW Bush ran as a "compassionate conservative," because Rove understood it would be a close election, decided by the mushy middle. Heck, Florida was decided by old retired folks at Denny's, who accidentally cast their butterfly ballots for Pat Buchanan:)
The zeitgeist is described as a sliding bar between liberal and conservative with moderates in the middle. This is garbage.
I used to listen to a lot of Rush Limbaugh when I was in the Navy, I used to believe this, too, but now I don't.
The USA is a lot less Conservative than it used to be. A lot. Take California as an example, home of Nixon and Reagan. In the 80s, I had the divine pleasure of voting for Reagan as Prez and George Deukmejian as governor, both of whom were rocked-ribbed right-wingers, who tried to govern that way too. And, I took exceptional joy that both won 2 terms, and helped get their successors elected. In the 80s, California was practically a paradise.
Sadly, those days, though, are over. The demographics have changed. Latinos, women, gays, government unions are on the political ascent; while the small business owners are fleeing.
With the exception of Texas and the solid South, much of the country has followed in California's direction, although not as drastically.
The electorate wants our politics to stop being dominated by big money.
The Left certainly wants this, but does the Right? Citizens United is all about promoting more speech (i.e., more money) into politics. I love Citizens United, while Obama hates it.
In general, we all want to see a more conservative government, and populace. The big question is strategy and tactics on how to accomplish this. I don't claim to know. But I do like hashing it out with you guys.

Trump is a Democrat.
Carson is a good man, but Democrats WILL NOT vote for a black conservative, no matter what. And I think Obama has poisoned the well for a lot of independents for the forseeable future.
Fiorina... sooner or later someone is going to ask her about her Iranian contraband deals. Probably right after she gets the nom or VP pick, if it's up to the Democrats.
But the Howard Beale voters are determined to throw their TVs out the window and send a message to people who aren't listening anyway.
"anyone who thinks that the immigration issue is important knows that he cannot be trusted on that. Many conservatives now understand that this is the most important issue" Absolutely nuts. The most important issue? The Republicans right now have a chance to capture all three parts of the federal government, and actually get some things done. There are loads of issues that pretty much all Republicans agree on, and pretty much all Democrats disagree. On most of them, the average voting American agrees with the Republicans. Leaning on those issues is the way to win.
Then, once Republicans control the federal government and have taken care of those issues [one of which is building a functional wall on the Mexican border], it would be time to see if we can build a bipartisan consensus on what to do with illegal aliens who are already here.
Or, you can make that the "most important issue" and lose.
Note that the Republicans controlled Congress and the Presidency in 2004. What did they do with it? A couple of Supreme Court Justices and carried on with the war in Iraq. And No Child Left Behind, which has done a lot of harm to American schools. Was there nothing else that Republicans agreed on?
Are they planning to do that again?
A Bernie one, thinking he has any desire to win?
A Hillary one, thinking that she isn't a robot?
The Trump deniers remind me of the poll-deniers in our last election.
The problem with Trump is he's unelectable. The Hildebeast vs. The Donald would be grand entertainment for the Euro-Weenies but tragic for America because too many independents would either stay home or swing left on election day. The Trump faithful need to face this.They must realize that in the end they must choose a person. Up to now Trump has been a symbol, an expression of the disgust engendered by a political class that has stolen our republic of laws and given us a regime of lies, a nation ruled by degree where presidential whim has the force of law, and laws are treated as instruments of expediency to be enforced or ignored depending on political needs of a tiny cabal of hacks and cronies. Symbols have their uses, but symbolic candidates tend to lose when the ballots are cast.
I must admit that I've never liked Donald Trump. His bombast and wandering rhetoric, while not actually repellant have left a mostly negative impression. To me he's like the kind of person who spoils the sports bar scene, the type who cheers at the top of his lungs whenever his team scores or sacks the opposing quarterback, and swears and bangs the table whenever his team suffers a reverse, the type who asks for your opinion and insults you when you voice it.
Rubio–Susanna Martinez. Killer ticket.
Make that Susana.
Brando: ...ultimately one group is going to have to accept...that the Dem nominee...is a far worse prospect than your least preferred GOP candidate.
No, that's what you believe and accept. Apparently, electorally significant numbers of once reliably Republican-voting people aren't buying that.
(And while it may be emotionally satisfying to flounce around huffing "I hope you're happy you got Obama elected twice!", and "You're going to get Hillary good and hard and you'll deserve everything you get!" at people like that, it doesn't change the reality of the "fed-ups" who aren't biting.)
The Dems seem to get this...
The Dems have their own problems with what will become a more and more unstable base. No, what the Dems get, and the Reps don't, is that you should
(1) pander to the people whose votes you need, while hiding any contempt you actually feel toward them, and
(2) insult and harass the people whose votes you're not going to get, if that helps you with (1).
The Republicans seem to keep getting these two targets confused.
Also, Dems don't give a rat's what Reps think of them, and are serenely impervious to concern-trolling from the right. But Reps spend all their energy getting rolled by concern-trolling from the left. Which ought to tell you something about the uselessness of Reps.
...they don't tear at each other the way GOPers do...
"Each other" implies that there's an "us" in there, somewhere. I don't think there is.
I have never registered as a member of any political party, and I have no allegiances to either one. I worked for Hillary Clinton's campaign in 2008, and I walked away vowing to never vote for her. I haven't changed my mind. Whether I vote for the Republican candidate in 2016 depends on whether they give me someone to vote for. Just being "not Hillary" isn't enough. Rubio isn't it. No track record of showing he knows how to get things done. He doesn't even have a track record for showing up. I'm one of the "moderates" the party is supposed to be courting. I have no litmus test on any issue. No candidate is going to represent all of my views, and I'm mature enough to know that. I'll settle for someone who has demonstrated a good work ethic and some executive level competence.
"The most important issue? The Republicans right now have a chance to capture all three parts of the federal government, and actually get some things done. There are loads of issues that pretty much all Republicans agree on, and pretty much all Democrats disagree. On most of them, the average voting American agrees with the Republicans. Leaning on those issues is the way to win."
Absolutely. We can argue over whether the GOP will "sell out" when they take over, but the fact is if they don't have functional control in DC then it's absolutely certain that no conservative reforms (tax reform, entitlement reform, anything on immigration) will take place. And we have to accept the fact that if the moderates break left, that's it--the Dems win. And as frustrating as "RINOs" are, you have a better shot with them at least some of the time than you do with a typical Democrat. Example--Mike Castle, hated by the Tea Party for being a RINO, did in fact vote against the stimulus and the ACA--two of the most important votes of the Obama era. By getting the laughably unelectable Christine O'Donnell to replace him, it handed a sure thing election to Chris Coons. Does anyone think Coons--a blue state Democrat--has any reason to vote against any part of the Obama agenda? Are conservatives better off with Coons than Castle? Remember, O'Donnell simply was a nonstarter in Delaware. This wasn't Texas, or even Missouri.

Putting good justices on The Supreme Court is an important and consequential responsibility of an administration. Carrying on the war in Iraq was crucial to maintaining the gains and establishing order in the country. We've seen what happened there since Obama's celebrated withdrawal. No Child Left behind was a Ted Kennedy sponsored bill and Bush and Boehner were all in on it. Will republicans enact democrat party legislation again? Let's hope not.
In 2006, democrats took control of congress again and made Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House. Their first act as a majority party was to circle the wagons around rep. William Jefferson-LA, and obstruct an FBI investigation for bribery and other crimes which later resulted in a thirteen year prison sentence for the democrat party congressman. If democrats get control of congress, are they going to obstruct justice on behalf of the felons in their party again? I don't know, let's ask Bernie Sanders, let's ask Elijah Cummings, let's ask Chuck Schumer- Don't bother asking Lady Clinton, she'll only laugh in your face.

The "law prof" said:
"Those people are not the main target of the proposed Jeb-Rubio consolidation, which is for moderates and mainstreamers like me".
Again the "law prof" (surely a misnomer) proves to be the light- weight legal scholar she has always been, by supporting an ineligible non natural born candidate (and no, Jeb cannot be Rubio's VP--12th Amendment-- she seems to think the Constitution is just a suggestion).
There has NEVER been a POTUS that was born of 2 NON US Citizen parents (except for those grandfathered in by "or a citizen at the time..."). Rubio was naturalized at birth by 8 US Code 1401, since he was born of legal resident parents, who had allegiance due to that legal residence, thus Rubio was born "subject to the jurisdiction of the US" within the meaning of
the 14th Amendment--- The holding of Wong Kim Ark on pg. 693, and is a CITIZEN of the US.
He would not have been even considered a US Citizen before 1898 at the time he was born, much less a natural born Citizen. He is a citizen by statute, and here is what the State Dept. says about that:
7FAM 1131.6-2(d)
This statute is no longer operative, however, and its formula is not included in
modern nationality statutes. In any event, the fact that someone is a natural
born citizen pursuant to a statute does not necessarily imply that he or she is
such a citizen for Constitutional purposes.
The only constitutional purpose of the term is related to eligibility for the Presidency.
Here is SCOTUS holding as to the definition of natural born Citizen:
"The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners." Minor v. Happersett 88 US 162, 167 (1875) See also Wong Kim Ark @ 680, See also The Venus, See also Shanks v. Dupont, See also Dred Scott.
SCOTUS has defined natural born Citizen MANY TIMES as one born in the US of US Citizen parents, mirroring the Original Common Law (law of nations). It has NEVER defined it as anything else.
Of course the "law prof" wants to vote for an ineligible candidate for the 3rd straight time. It makes you wonder what those kids could possibly be learning, if the "law prof can't grasp a simple concept of natural law (US Original Common Law)

The thing about that is, Trump is not just a candidate for president-- he's a TV star! Folks in Tyngsborough and Rochester and Rutland and White River Junction have been watching Trump on television for years. They've been saying "You're fired" so long it's become a catch phrase. He's a celebrity! Folks in small towns and suburbs far from Hollywood would come out to see him whether he was selling a book or giving a speech or just having lunch at the Dairy Queen with Marla Maples. The only way you're going to top the celebrity of a TV star is if you have the celebrity of a movie star. And there is one such movie star capable of eclipsing The Donald. A notable republican with some governing experience- Although there may be some Constitutional kerfuffle over birthright eligibility, in this age when Kenyans and Canadians can run for the presidency, I don't see the issue as insurmountable... You know who I'm talking about- He'll be back!
Brando,
In which case, kindly tell your wing of the party to shut the **** up about how wonderful Jim Webb would be as an independent if Trump takes the nomination. Because it's a little damn old that it's always my side of the party that has to take it up the ass from the other side of the party, because team player in MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION EVER.
And especially for Webb! If you would consider voting for Webb then all the hand-wringing bullshit about loyalty pledges and 'not really a conservative' goes straight out the window like it's Prague, 1618.
Get your people in line.
Trumps plan to build a border Wall is not offensive to anyone. It will cost less than training 5 Rebels in Syria who haven't left for ISIL by now.
To hate Trump for that kind of Bombast is only jealousy. Get over it.
After Trump does what we need done in DC, then we can dump him for daring to brilliantly succeeed like the Navy did to Joe Rochefort after Midway was over.
Think of the wall as 'a shovel ready infrastructure project'
There, now we can all be happy!
The more I think about it, it really should be Trump v. Sanders. Those two really, truly represent two competing paradigms in the USA: snazzy Capitalist v. earnest Socialist.
I'd easily vote for Trump (don't want the Althouse-Trump coalition to berate me:)
But I don't know who would win. There's a lot of Socialists in the USA, and most of them are Democrats, although the label has been pretty much discredited. Socialists in Deed Only (SIDO)?
Re: Michael Fitzgerald: ...
Other than Benghazi, I feel like most of the scandals are a bit of a sideshow. Yes, even the emails. After all, Wikileaks and the OPM hack captured huge volumes of data off our wonderfully secure government-run servers, so I find it difficult to muster all that much outrage about her using an unsecured personal server...
Maybe so, maybe so- I like to razz Althouse a little, rattle the cage, spitball the teacher once in a while, ya know, cause I'm a miscreant. I don't hold her votes for or against her- She's explained her reasons to us several times and really didn't have to even once. I really enjoy her blog and that's all that matters. Sometimes I agree with her politics, sometimes not- it's alright. As far as Hillary goes, you're right that Althouse does not shy away from criticizing her highness, lampooning her pretensions or highlighting a lowlight. But, as Shelby Steele once described his sympathies for the Confederate army, I think Althouse's heart beats a little faster when she's talking about Hillary.
Oh, and as far as my opinion of the server/emails- The problem is the cover-up. What is she hiding? We know she tried to delete everything around September/October 2011. The more emails that get discovered, the more incompetence and dishonesty it uncovers. Benghazi is the same. An attack on an embassy in a war-torn Arab country is to be expected. The issue is the administrations response, and the subsequent lies and deceptions. For all the squealing about all the committees the big bad republicans have put together to "get" her highness, there are numerous questions yet to be answered, and numerous actions still to be answered for. The thing is, these scandals are just more symptoms of her innate corruption and dishonesty. Just in her tenure as Sec of State, did she not facilitate sales of uranium interests to Russian nationals through her brother Tony? Then there's the many "donations" to Bill and Hill Foundation for Global Graft and Kickbacks. Her performance as secretary of State was disastrous as well: the Russian reset button, Arab Springtime for Hitler, turning Libya into a terrorist state, etc. And finally, I would never consider voting for any politician, much less president, who shows such bigoted vile ignorant contempt for her fellow Americans that she would declare that they were her public enemy number one.
"In fact, every GOP candidate who is not Trump or Carson, should look around right now and figure out who, other than himself, he should support."
Grammar isn't completely old-school. "Whom" not "Who".
I'll bet he isn't going to be the GOP nominee. But filthy Hillary is going to be the democrat party nominee, and that is shameful, disgraceful, and despicable.
Usually candidates leave when the money runs out. That will happen with Bernie soon enough. Hillary has the nomination. The hearings today are not going to touch her or change any minds about her. They will help herby giving her a national forum in which she will do reasonably well.
Because Jeb is well funded, he does not have to drop now. A set of Jeb-Rubio-Trump-Carson primaries could still benefit him, though Jeb is a bit of a long shot. But Jeb can't self fund, so he's weak. Plus Rubio will be stronger if he wins some elections over Jeb, rather than elevating through a capitulation.
We could still get a third party candidate this year, but from the right not the left.
That deep Republican bench is looking like less of an asset than the Democratic Sedan Chair for Hillary.
Whoa! I was so flabbergasted (in a good way) by the generic use of he and himself that I completely overlooked the case disagreement.
Fiorina should absolutely not drop out!
Quaestor: The problem with Trump is he's unelectable.
Just Trump? Seriously, if Romney wasn't electable, why do you think anybody in this season's line-up is? Because everybody's sick of Obama and Hillary's a much weaker candidate than Obama? I think you're grossly over-estimating the appeal of Rubio, etc. to people outside the party faithful.
The Hildebeast vs. The Donald would be grand entertainment for the Euro-Weenies but tragic for America because too many independents would either stay home or swing left on election day.
Sorry, but you can replace "The Donald" above with anybody else in the line-up and get the same scenario.
You know what's tragic for America, Quaestor? That we have a two-party system where one party is the Democrats and the other party thinks it's all the stupid worthless voters fault when they lose elections.
(And I fear Europeans may have much more serious "entertainment" compelling their attention next year.)
The Trump faithful need to face this.They must realize that in the end they must choose a person. Up to now Trump has been a symbol, an expression of the disgust engendered by a political class that has stolen our republic of laws and given us a regime of lies, a nation ruled by degree where presidential whim has the force of law, and laws are treated as instruments of expediency to be enforced or ignored depending on political needs of a tiny cabal of hacks and cronies. Symbols have their uses, but symbolic candidates tend to lose when the ballots are cast.
[Rolling eyes] Why do people keep rolling out this stupid, pompous shit about what all those deluded voters out there "must" do and "must accept"? The "Trump faithful" don't "need" to do anything but cast (or not cast) their votes as they see fit.
Remarkably enough, I've even encountered a few of them who bear not the slightest resemblance to the rage-addled LIVs now haunting your fervid imagination. In fact, truth to tell, I see little evidence that they skew any stupider, or are less-informed and more emotion-driven, than the party faithful. Less amenable to persuasion by pompous finger-wagging, possibly.
["Rubio is a terrible non-solution because anyone who thinks that the immigration issue is important knows that he cannot be trusted on that."]
People who believe immigration policy is important aren't not only aren't moderates but also aren't mainstream?
People think you won't vote Republican because you've internalized far left views like this.
Writ Small said...
One problem with Althouse's strategy is that it could work in getting Rubio the nomination but it would create a party-destroying split if Rubio lost to Hillary.
If Hillary is going to be our next president (as seems likely now), her complete wrecking of Trump would be a cold glass of ice reality in the faces of the anti-establishment. Also, when the election eve polls show Clinton running away with it, the electorate may feel comfortable keeping the House and Senate in Republican hands for ideological balance. Part of the reason Obama was able to do as much damage as he did his first two years was because the Democrats controlled Congress, too, and that only happened because the presidency was a toss-up.
Obviously a Rubio presidency would be better than a Hillary one, but a Rubio loss would be catastrophic.
Too many comments to read them all this late. One thing struck:
And, I took exceptional joy that both won 2 terms, and helped get their successors elected. In the 80s, California was practically a paradise.
I did too but that was in the days when our future was bright. I think we are headed into the storm with a large millennial clueless set of passengers who are going to get badly hurt. I doubt the next election matters that much although I wish it did. I think the last chance to get out of this fix was Romney and the country decided to take a vacation.
Take a look at Europe. I'm not sure I'll ever go back although I have enjoyed visiting Europe for 30 years.
The Gods of the Copybook Headings are getting very close.
Somebody, either Iran or ISIS, will take out a major power net and there will be chaos. Maybe a nuke in New York Harbor or LA Harbor. We've a great run for 70 years.

I think Jeb ought never have run, and that his presence in the race has been pernicious and destructive to the GOP's interests.
So yes, he should withdraw.
I think this not because of any of his policies, nor any of his personal qualities save one -- his surname, which is disqualifying (whether it ought to be or not). Dem voters will indeed turn out to perpetuate a Clinton dynasty, but the rest of American won't turn out to perpetuate a Bush one. It's exactly that simple, and it's obvious even to Barbara, so I don't know why Jeb (and, apparently, Dubya) can't get that.
But endorse Rubio? Why, because Rubio was a protegee or colleague in Florida? Meh. Ted Cruz was Texas Solicitor General while Rick Perry was Texas Governor. Do you think Perry ought to have endorsed Cruz for that reason when Perry dropped out? Or, put it this way: Were you surprised that he didn't?
This GOP convention is likely to be George H.W. Bush's last, realistically, given his age and health concerns. I hope he, Barbara, and both sons get some fond attention at the convention. But only on Throwback Thursday, or the convention equivalent of that.
I hear Hillary did well today.
"I hear Hillary did well today."
I understand she did. There was no mention, apparently, of her sending and receiving top secret information from Tyler Drumheller to Sidney Blumenthal, probably as a cut out. As far as she knew it was one of those mysteries.
Kind of like the Rose Law Firm records that appeared in the White House living quarters by magic, or something.
If "did well" means "had her lies exposed to her face repeatedly and could only sputter about it", yeah, real well.
Must be so frustrating that Hillary! broke so many laws yet Republicans can't nail her on a single one. Maybe they are treading lightly because they don't want to end up dead l8ke Vince Foster. #ClintonBodyCount
Garage, that was a good observation. Even a blind skunk finds an occasional truffle.
Hillary did well today.
Mega-disaster Romney demonstrated that if you stick around long enough, you can be people's overall sixth or seventh pick, watching everyone but you be the favorite, and still get the delegates you need.

MikeR: [Immigration] [t]he most important issue?
Yes, it is. It's the sine qua non for all the other issues you claim to care about. No control of immigration, and you can kiss all the other things you claim to care about goodbye.
The last thing in the world the Republicans want to do is build a functional wall on the southern border. We already have a robust "bipartisan" consensus on "what to do with illegal aliens", and that is to provide blanket rolling amnesties to those already here, thereby providing incentives (one among many) to keep the tsunami coming. The only thing slowing this down are those awful people you're complaining about, who throw a monkey wrench in your heroes' plans when they can manage it. If you actually listened to what the candidates had to say about this (that is, when they aren't engaging in increasingly lame attempts at base-appeasing bullshit), and the think-tank prats who shill for them, you would know this. Where people get the idea that "the Republicans want to control immigration but the Democrats won't let them", I do not know.
Prof. Althouse is right on the money. Trump is going to win the nomination unless the non-Trumps coalesce very quickly behind another candidate. I don't think there's any time to waste. No candidate is perfect, but Rubio is perfectly acceptable and would give the witch some difficulty.
As for immigration? On my list of top ten issues, it comes in at number 20. I don't like illegal immigration, I don't like the disrespect for the law that it breeds, I just don't buy all the crap about how it's killing us economically and socially.
Vice President Joe Biden: Good morning, folks. Please, please, sit down. Mr. President, thank you for lending me the Rose Garden for a minute.
President Barack Obama: It's a pretty nice place.
There is the extent of Obama's literal reason for being..there.
BN said...
The last thing Rubio wants is Jeb's endorsement. That would be the death nail. Why do you think Jeb is failing?
We are so fucked. I wish I was drunk so I could regret it after the election.
"...moderates and mainstreamers like me."
Perfect! Do you mind if I borrow that when ISIS gets here?
(oh, btw, I vote different party ever 4 years too. don't blame me for shit! I'm both for and against everyone!)
squishy fuckin' middle! choose!
"Is there a bigger sucker alive than a Trump supporter?"
Anyone who supported Obama that made less than 1 million dollars a year.
@Bay Area Guy
I agree that the US isn't as conservative as it once was. I think you missed the point of what I was saying. The US isn't as conservative or progressive as it once was. It is more classically liberal though. Most people out here just want to be left alone, go to work, come home watch a football game with a few beers, and be comfortable to do it.
The federal government has increased massively in size and scope over the last 7 decades since the New Deal. Americans have always been inherently distrustful of government. But both parties like more government. One of them pretends to want smaller government to get votes and then passes medicare part B. The parties have grown fat like ticks sucking the vigor and vitality out of this country.
Democrats are openly owned by crony interests and the Republicans are junior partners sucking up the scraps. The electorate wants an end to the corporate cronyism. They are tired of tax carve outs for the big businesses while they get squeezed. It is plainly obvious that Hillary is going to raise taxes on everyone else so she can give Goldman Sachs more 0% interest loans, or GE more "green energy" subsidies.
Americans have always believed in fairness and opportunity. They feel rightly that opportunity is being taken from them by big money donors buying rules that favor them. This is not ideological from a conservative/liberal point of view. This is plutocrats versus the proles. Similar to the founding of this country this will be a revolution that ends up with less government one way or another.
Sociologically, for our society, are polls a good thing or a bad thing?
Let's take a poll.

Trump and McConnell defend Kavanaugh against accusers
Darren Mikus, World News Editor
Originally published 4 October 2018
President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell commented Tuesday about the sexual assault accusations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
Trump, who answered questions before reporters at the White House, reaffirmed his support for Kavanaugh, saying it is “a scary time for young men,” who could potentially become the subject of false accusations and be seen as “automatically guilty,” according to The Associated Press.
“I really think that Judge Kavanaugh is going to be accepted and voted on and positively voted on, but we’re gonna have to see what the FBI says. They’ll come back with a report,” he added.
With regard to sexual assault accusations in general, Trump said, “You could be somebody that was perfect your entire life, and somebody could accuse you of something. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a woman, as everybody says, but somebody could accuse you of something, and you’re automatically guilty. But in this realm, you are truly guilty until proven innocent. That’s one of the very, very bad things that’s taking place right now.”
McConnell said Tuesday that “the politics of personal destruction were willfully unleashed” by Democrats in Congress, and that they were opening “the floodgates of mud and muck” against Kavanaugh.
“This is not politics as usual,” he added.
McConnell criticized accuser Julie Swetnick’s lawyer Michael Avenatti for having represented Stormy Daniels, calling him a “tabloid lawyer.” He also criticized Swetnick, who accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault, for being unreliable, saying “there conveniently happened to be zero witnesses” to corroborate her story, according to The Associated Press.
Following these comments, the New Haven Police Department in Connecticut released a report including an accusation in which Kavanaugh threw ice at a man in a bar during an altercation in 1985. In the report, Dom Cozzolino, who was 21 at the time, also alleged that he was hit in the ear with a glass from the bar.
The Trump administration dismissed the accusation as irrelevant to the sexual assault accusations, adding that Kavanaugh was neither charged or arrested after the alleged incident.
As of Tuesday, Kavanaugh actively denies the three accusations of sexual assault against him. The three include Christine Blasey Ford, who accused him of assault during a party when they were both in high school; Deborah Ramirez, who accused him of exposing his sexual organs to her at a dorm room party at Yale; and Julie Swetnick, who accused him of taking part in gang rapes of women with other men, according to The Associated Press.
Jeff Flake, a Republican senator, stated he was uncomfortable with the “sharp and partisan” response Kavanaugh gave to the allegations and to questions by Democratic senators during his hearing.
“We can’t have this on the court, we simply can’t,” he said. Two other Republican senators, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, are also undecided whether they will vote to confirm Kavanaugh at this time. When asked about whether McConnell would push the confirmation vote to happen this week, Murkowski said that he “talked about a vote last week, too,” according to The Associated Press.

About Cass E Ritter

On the Road to Publishing
ADULT READING
(“Dear God, why me?”)
Kathy stormed out of the station, before she gave in to the temptation to strangle the boss. She threw herself in her car and drove. When tyres screeched as she left the car park, she checked her temper. She knew better than to drive like a lunatic. She was trained to drive better than an idiot, the sort of idiot she dealt with every day.
(“How dare they?”)
It wasn’t unusual for Kathy to talk to herself. Living alone, she frequently had conversations with her car (who was her best friend), the fridge (which usually yawned back empty, except for possibly a jar of pickled eggs and a carton of orange juice), or the television on the very rare occasion she found time to turn it on (it was oddly satisfying to argue with newsreaders).
(“What do they think I am? A fucking beauty queen?”)
When she’d intimidated an unsuspecting Chinese man, barking her takeaway order at him, apologised to the delivery driver for her behaviour with an extra-large tip, and burnt her tongue after re-heating her duck with chilli and garlic in the microwave (because she got side-tracked with work), she took a shower to calm down, letting the power nozzle wash the stresses and frustrations off her.
While her anger at the assignment she’d been handed receded as the water pounded her, the stinging spray woke different frustrations. Mid-cycle, she always turned sensitive all over. Quickly and clinically, she washed herself without paying attention to her swollen breasts or throbbing genitals. Clad in utilitarian knickers and a plain t-shirt, she went back to work.
Spoiler 429
Kathy was not particularly enjoying herself but she had seen that there were several women in the relaxation lounge, which would be a perfect opportunity to probe and observe.
“I’ve been coming for years. At least every other week. It’s so relaxing. It’s me-time. I completely pamper myself. Sauna and then a massage,” a rather large woman enthused between sips from her water bottle. “What about you?”
“It’s the first time. I’m not quite sure if it’s for me. It was a present,” Kathy confessed.
“Oh, dearie, give it a chance. Do you have a busy job? Yes? Then you should afford yourself something special to relax. I look after my grandchildren and I always find them so much easier to deal with when I’ve been here.”
“I usually relax in the gym, or swimming.”
“I like exercise, too,” another woman contributed. She was as scrawny as the other woman was big, and at least 10 years younger, so closer to Kathy in age. “But nothing compares to a good massage. Karl is an absolute genius. He can find knots in my muscles that I don’t even know are there. Like Jean, I spoil myself.”
“What do you like about massage? All that touchy-feely stuff. Isn’t it… a bit… invasive?” Kathy asked, proud of her act.
“What do you mean? Sexual? No. Not at all. That’s not what it’s about. The therapists here are very professional. They know what they are doing and make you feel confident with yourself.”
“But what if someone is not and oversteps the mark. What then?”
“I, for one, cannot imagine that happening,” Jean countered. “It’s discreet here, and it’s about making you feel good, as a woman.”
“But not sexually,” the other woman quickly added. “I’ve never heard anyone complain.”
Spoiler 2440
“You hate shopping malls.”
“I’m trying to compromise. They do and I want to meet them. I have the day off. I’m even writing everything down, including my shifts, so I know what my plans are. See?”
She let go of his hand to show him her phone diary, then felt stupid when he laughed.
“Who are you and where’s the real Kathy?”
“Don’t mock,” she muttered, grabbing his hand again. “What do you want to do?”
They had by now returned to the bridge where they’d started after walking round the block.
“To kiss you.”
It was a light and happy contact. Smiling, Rob pecked her lips repeatedly until she joined in on the game. Then he dropped several kisses on her cheeks, and her forehead. When he targeted the top of her head, Kathy opened the top button of his shirt and dusted his neck with little nips.
“I want to do that all over,” she mumbled just loud enough for him to hear.
Rob’s reaction was instantaneous, and he clamped her to him, pressing his erection against her.
“Shhh!” he cut her off.
“Shhh!”
He held her tight and unmoving until Kathy was burning with awareness. Gradually she felt him relax. As his turgidity subsided, his grip lightened.
“Enough,” he declared. “Now I’m hungry. Where to?”
Kathy counted ringtones, her heart sinking further with each one.
(“… four… five… si…”)
Rob picked up, but said nothing.
Kathy’s tongue felt stuck to the roof of her mouth.
“Rob?” she whispered.
“Who else were you expecting?”
(“Oh God!”)
“Are you sitting comfortably?” she asked.
“Sofa.”
“I’m sitting in bed.”
She heard his intake of breath.
(“I’ve got his imagination going.”)
Feeling a little more confident, she continued.
“T-shirt and pyjama bottoms.”
“Mmh. I’m wearing a baby doll.”
Her attempt at sounding sultry was ruined when she giggled.
“I didn’t even know this existed, but I went shopping for you.”
She paused, but Rob said nothing.
“It’s a little, frilly nighty. I chose one in purple. I think it looks good on me. It’s fitted tight across my breasts.”
(“This is tougher than I thought, but he hasn’t hung up.”)
“Then it flares out in a froth of see-through material. It barely reaches my bottom. Do you like it?”
She paused for a reply, but could still just hear him breathing.
“My nipples can feel the material. They feel tight. I flick across them and they’re as hard as pebbles. They’re tingling. I imagine my hands are yours. I can feel the touch all the way to my centre. I’m getting quite warm. I wish you were here to take them into your mouth and suck hard. I need that. Do you want to suck my breasts?”
“Hell, yes.”
“Take your t-shirt off.”
Rob’s voice was husky.
It was day three and Kathy woke up relaxed and rested. No residual feeling of anger gnawed at her, no impatience to get up and get onto the streets to validate her existence.
(“But my job’s important.”)
Of course it was important, and she was looking forward to getting back in her squad car the following Monday, but at that moment, after waking but before planning the day, she didn’t feel driven.
She moved and the crisp sheets teased her body. She remembered her nightdress was lying folded somewhere by the foot of her bed.
(“Does one orgasm have the power to change me?”)
She blushed when she remembered that it had been more than one. The first little one had overwhelmed her out of the blue, but the second, she’d actively sought, teased out of her highly-strung body.
In the end it was embarrassment that drove her out of bed and into her gym clothes. For the first time in very long, she found it hard to get started. Every stretch during her warm-up routine was a chore. Then, on the treadmill, every step was haunted by the need to sit down and relax, to take time out. She increased the speed a little. Knowledge of her routine did that, not the joy of anticipation. Every muscle felt heavy. Sheer strength of will made her speed up again.
When her breathing changed, memories of the night overtook her lethargy.
(“I needed it.”)
Looking about her, Kathy didn’t see anyone she recognised from earlier in the day. Jean and Laura, she knew, only came for the day once in a while. There were only four other tables and Kathy found herself speculating about the other women.
Were any here vulnerable enough to be enticed into prostitution? Sonya had talked to her about sex. Was that the way to grooming women? But Sonya had spoken about women having control, taking responsibility, which doesn’t sound like abusing vulnerability.
The two women at the far table, she reckoned, knew each other. Best friends. They looked like a pair of birds chattering away over each other, although she couldn’t hear their conversation.
She then looked closely at a table of three and realised she did recognise the three women from yesterday. After only a day, their demeanour had changed. Freya looked more relaxed, less starchy, Lilac was sitting straight-backed and looked at the other two women when she spoke. She must have found her voice as neither other woman was leaning forward to try and hear her. Freya smiled at a comment made and looked quite pretty. Heather wasn’t talking like a waterfall. Her hands occasionally flapped until she caught them, placed them on the table, took a deep breath, and spoke briefly.
“During that time, I’d like you to behave as if you’re on holiday with nowhere in particular to go. You can go to a museum, to a café, you can sit and do some people-watching. Chat to someone about nothing of consequence. Take time out, in other words. In the real world. Can you do that?”
(“Shit, can I?”)
“I don’t know. 5 hours of doing nothing? Seems like such a waste of time. Can I go to the gym?”
“Hmm, no. Complete your morning programme here. Do your gym session in the morning. My staff love you,” Sonya chuckles. “You’re first one in, so they have to wake up for you. Won’t do them any harm. Anyway, remember that this is an extreme exercise. It’s meant to be challenging. When you go back to work next week, you’ll put the two extremes together to complete, or at least continue, the work on your work/life balance.”
(“I still don’t know.”)
“No one will follow you, no one will check up on you. It’s entirely up to you. You’re the owner of the challenge. I set it, but you own it. You control what you do. You’re in charge of yourself. So the challenge is set. We’ll talk on Friday to see what you’ve done about it. OK?”
(“My challenge. My control. My decision. So I could go to the station and report in.”)
The realisation that, whatever Sonya suggested, the execution and outcome were hers, Kathy’s, to control, dissolved her need to rebel.
(“Empowerment. I think I get it.”)
Final Spoiler
They crossed the water and Kathy left the path, struggled through some undergrowth and pushed them through a broken fence.
“What are you planning?”
This time, she shushed him and turned him to lean against the wall of a small brick building on the edge of the field.
“Keep your eyes closed. Just feel.”
“Bit of necking in the woods, maybe? How old do you think we are?”
Amusement was obvious in Rob’s voice, giving Kathy confidence to continue playing.
“About 17. Now, shh! Just feel.”
(“How do I start this?”)
Kathy decided to lean against him for a kiss, first of all. Both kisses, yesterday and today, could have gone out of control, so it was a good place to start. However, she wanted to maintain control and make him lose it.
(“Seduction.”)
Every time Rob tried to speak again, she kissed him quiet, so in the end he just relaxed and let her have control.
Kathy was sure that if she got it wrong, he’d take over.
(“What will keep his attention?”)
Kathy shrugged off her top and put it in one of his jacket pockets. She then put her bra in the other pocket.
“Hold on to those, will you?”
“Wha…?”
Again she kissed him, hoping he’d be able to feel her breasts through his shirt. Small as they were, her tight nipples were prominent enough to make an impression.
(“Silly! It’s a shirt!”)
She proceeded to unbutton it, all thumbs, but eventually, she drew the two halves apart.
The sky was clear, there was a multitude of stars, but the moon was only a sliver, so she couldn’t see much, yet enough to almost forget that this wasn’t for her, but for Rob. Instead of kissing and playing with his chest, she leaned back into him.
His sharp intake of breath told her he now knew what she’d put in his pockets.
“Oh, you…”
Again, she kissed him into submission, then picked up his hands and brought them up to the sides of her breasts pressed against him. She guided his caress and couldn’t suppress a moan when his thumbs pushed between them and flicked over her nipples.
Before she could stop him, he opened his eyes and lifted her. Instinctively, her legs gripped him round the middle. Rob dipped his head to suck first one, then the other nipple into his hot mouth. Sensations overwhelmed Kathy. Sharp tendrils of hunger flicked through her. He was so good. Her breasts were on fire from his touch, rough through passion but not painful. Just arousing. He hummed as his tongue flicked a nipple and Kathy came close to losing it.
Then he spoke.
“You witch. You bloody, beautiful witch.”

Final Mission
Mission chairman: How we’re going to leverage the success of Atlantis
By Eric Berger on July 12, 2011 at 4:02 PM
Atlantis’ mission to the International Space Station continues to go swimmingly, with the vehicle performing nearly flawlessly and the crew getting down to cargo transfer activities.
Today the crew of Atlantis supported a spacewalk by ISS astronauts Mike Fossum and Ron Garan to accomplish several tasks, including the stowage of a failed ammonia pump inside the shuttle’s payload bay.
LeRoy Cain, deputy space shuttle program manager, monitoring the Atlantis docking from the director's office in mission control at the Johnson Space Center. ( Smiley N. Pool / Houston Chronicle )
The mission has gone so well it’s hard not to think about the large workforce, soon to be shed, who have prepared the vehicle and trained the crew of four. Credit to them.
And what are they thinking now that the shuttle program has become such a well-oiled machine, functioning more efficiently and delivering cleaner vehicles than ever before in the shuttle’s history? Is the success bittersweet because the program is going out at the top of its game?
It’s a question I put to LeRoy Cain, deputy space shuttle program manager and chairman of Atlantis’ mission management team, on Monday. His response:
Monitors in mission control show Atlantis just before docking with the International Space Station on Sunday. (Smiley N. Pool / Houston Chronicle )
The team has been very committed to finishing strong it’s not just a mantra for us. We have been putting our nose to the grindstone to try and make good on finishing strong. I cannot tell a difference in the emotions of the workforce when I walk around the control room, pr when I’m in the (mission management team) meeting. I undoubtedly will be able to post-wheel stop, and that is to be expected.
We are all human beings and this is going to affect us. But more importantly I would say this team has a tremendous amount of momentum, and our intent is to leverage out that momentum and skill base, the lessons we will take away from the shuttle program, and play those things forward in a very big and pronounced way in new systems. I feel very optimistic about our ability to do that.
The team is committed to the task at hand. But when we’re done one of the things that’s going to benefit the agency is we’re going to seed out this shuttle team into other activites within the program. Having this shuttle team be seeded out and immersed in all of those activities I think is going to pay huge dividends in our ability to succeed in those endeavours.
That is the thing that is on my mind when I’m not thinking about the mission we have on orbit. I want to take this team and push it out. I think that is going to be a huge part of why we’re going to succeed in those subsequent activities.
Here’s hoping the contractors who played a significant role in the success of the shuttle program have similar opportunities going forward.

Policy Support to Corporate Social Responsibilty
Businesses without addressing the needs and expectations of stakeholders in a community cannot remain competitive in the contemporary era. A strategic approach to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can bring benefits in terms of building reputation, brand value, customer relationships, operational risk management, driving up efficiency, access to new markets and better human resource management through employee motivation and retention. Responsible business conduct is especially important when private sector operators provide public services. CSR offers a set of values on which a more cohesive society can be built and on which the transition to a sustainable financial and economic system can be based. Enhancing CSR as a means for poverty reduction and sustainable development in a developing country like ours with modest resources requires joint initiatives by all stakeholder groups involved: governmental bodies, NGOs, and corporations, as well as primary producers and workers. Only through co- operation of stakeholders at all levels CSR can have a beneficial social and developmental impact. Moreover, multi-stakeholder initiatives are an appropriate tool for experience-sharing and the development of best practices for creating a link between corporate insight and the government agenda.
Roles and Challenges of Government Bodies:
CSR policy in theory is supposed to function as a built-in, self-regulating mechanism, whereas in practice, CSR will thrive in the context of a consistently applied and enforced set of minimum environmental and social standards only through the right mix of policies from government bodies. Governments are expected to play four key roles: mandating (legislative), facilitating guidelines on content, fiscal and funding mechanisms, creating framework conditions), partnering (engagement in multi-stakeholder processes, stimulating dialogue) and endorsing (publicity). Throughout these roles, they can switch gears as they deem appropriate, between soft incentives and hard regulation. Forms of legal incentives can range from private and voluntary codes, to certification and labeling schemes to transparency or reporting guidelines. Legal incentives as appealing as they may sound often lack the legitimacy and enforcement mechanisms of tougher law. On the other hand, the problem with the regulatory or hard approach is that, the private sector may switch to a box- ticking or compliance mode without genuine commitment or concrete substance, gradually compromising the voluntary character of CSR, one of its defining features. The central challenge for governments’ progression is the question of how to more effectively manage the costs and benefits of business activity and to foster business engagement in national policy processes. In other words, governments need to identify various forms of intervention that can more effectively harness the strengths of the private sector and can also foster alignment between CSR strategies and the pursuit of overall public policy goals. The real challenge is to deploy the right types of soft/hard incentives and cross- sector partnerships that serve the public interest; and to create a stimulating and enabling environment for businesses to create long-term added social value.
Why developing country governments should be interested in CSR:
There are two broad sets of justifications for public sector actors in middle and low-income countries to be engaged with CSR. One is defensive and other one is proactive. But these two are not mutually exclusive. A policy initiative that initially has a defensive justification may quickly become part of a proactive strategy of engagement. The defensive justification relates to minimizing the potential adverse effects of CSR on local communities, environments and markets when it is imposed through international supply chains and investment. For increasing domestic public benefits of CSR practices in economic, social and environmental terms, the engagement of public sector actors in CSR activities provides the proactive justification. From a sustainable development perspective, public sector engagement with CSR potentially spans social, economic and environmental spheres, including issues of corruption, poverty reduction and human rights. The goals of public sector engagement in CSR are likely to differ from country to country. They might be structured in relation to the underlying drivers for public engagement in CSR. In a tax system, a Government may promote CSR, amongst others, by the adoption of environment-friendly tax policies, such as taxes on consumption of fossil fuels or on polluting processes and reliefs for socially desirable expenditure.
Income Tax Regulation in Bangladesh on CSR:
National Board of Revenue (NBR) of Bangladesh issued Statutory Regulatory Order (SRO) by providing tax exemption on the expenditure made by corporates for CSR activities in 2011. The regulations stated in that SRO were further amended in 2012 and the area of CSR applicable for tax exemption was enhanced. The rules of tax exemption for CSR activities of corporates are mentioned below:
Any company will get exemption of Income Tax at the rate of 10% for actual cost/money expended in Corporate Social Responsibility.
Conditions for Income Tax Exemptions-
It will not be applicable for the amount expended in excess of 20% of gross income of the company or BDT 8 (eight) crore whichever is lower.
The companies which are interested to attain tax exemption facility as corporate entity, they-
have to pay salary-allowance of their employee-staffs regularly and must have waste treatment plant in their factory/industry especially if industrial goods are manufactured.
must pay income tax, VAT, duty and repay institutional debt/obligations regularly.

CSR activities of banks in Bangladesh:
Historically, the banking sector of Bangladesh has been amply participating in various social activities especially, in the areas of education, health, sports, benevolent activities like donations to different charitable organizations, to poor people and religious institutions, city beautification and patronizing art & culture, etc.In June 2008, Bangladesh Bank issued a comprehensive circular titled ‘Mainstreaming Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in banks and financial institutions in Bangladesh’. In that circular, CSR was defined as (i) considering the economic, social and environmental consequences of a business, (ii) mitigating the negative impacts and bolstering the benign effects, (iii) initiating action programs and community investments to trim down social exclusion and inequality as well as to address the core sustainable development challenges (fulfilling the requirements of the current generation without cramping the capacity of future generations is a generally agreed meaning of ‘sustainable development’). BB has been motivating banks to expand lending to the under-served sectors both as business case and CSR obligation; expecting to lead to more broad-based inclusive growth, and therefore reduce poverty. BB has indicated some priority areas in the field of CSR like Self-employment and SME credits designed to create productive new on-farm/off-farm employment; Financing of biomass processing plants, solar panels, waste recycling plants, Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs); Credit programs for diversified production of crops, oilseeds, spices, vegetables, fruits etc.; Mobile phone based/MFI supported programs for prompt delivery of remittances; card based/mobile phone based delivery of financial services; Financing programs to promote domestic tourism and markets in cultural products/events. Bangladesh Bank has, of course, started guiding the banking sector to become more environmentally responsive (e.g. via refinancing new loan products on solar energy, bio-gas, effluent treatment plant etc). All the commercial banks are asked to formulate their own CSR policy with the annual outlay for CSR programs and include the CSR programs in their mainstream banking activities instead of short-term social works like providing grants, aids and donations. In December 2010, Bangladesh Bank instructed the banks to establish separate CSR desk to pay special attention on this issue.
Reporting of the CSR initiatives by banks was suggested as appendage to regular annual financial reports, ultimately to build up full length wide-ranging reports in the Green Reporting Initiatives (GRI) format. Alike the statutory financial reports, the CSR reports were also anticipated to be publicly available for stakeholders’ perusal. Bangladesh Bank has been publishing CSR review report annually for tracing advancement in mainstreaming of CSR activities. CSR initiatives of banks during last five years continued focus on i) financial inclusion of less privileged population segments and underserved economic sectors, ii) emergency relief in humanitarian distresses, ii) promotion of health, education and cultural/recreational activities for advancement and well being of underprivileged population segments, iii) financing and promotion of environment friendly projects, iv) adoption of energy efficient, carbon footprint reducing internal processes and practices in own offices and establishments. Besides CSR initiatives involving direct expenditure, financial inclusion initiatives of banks proceeded apace during last five years. All banks participated actively in promotion of lending to SMEs and agricultural. For broader, deeper financial inclusion, banks proceeded ahead on multiple fronts including increased rural bank branch presence, mobile phone banking, and opening of bank accounts for low income population free of charge with nominal Taka 10 initial deposit. In 2013, CSR expenditure of banks totaled 4.42 billion taka; eight times larger than in 2009. It will not be an overstatement to say that the banking sector led CSR initiatives in Bangladesh.
Globally, banks pursue CSR practices from self initiative. Central bank usually doesn’t intervene in their CSR activities or provide any directives to motivate banks for participating in CSR activities. But, in case of Bangladesh, the central bank provided regulatory framework to banks for CSR activities and monitors that in a regular fashion. Bangladesh Bank is one of the members of United Nations Global Compact(UNGC) concentrating in the areas of human rights, labor standards, the environment and anti- corruption. Bangladesh Bank being the chair of the Steering Committee of UNGC Bangladesh Local Network is actively leading CSR issues and implementation of CSR activities in financial sector as well as facilitates social investments in Bangladesh. Bangladesh Bank in association with CSR Centre, Bangladesh playing a major role in different programs involving social, economic and environmental aspects. Bangladesh Bank Disaster Management and Corporate Social Responsibility Fund of Taka 5 Crore has been established in BB where 2.29 crore has already been disbursed for different projects addressing health, education, environment, disaster management and Human Resources Development/Capacity Building.As Bangladesh is a developing country, both central bank and revenue collector of government have to take proactive steps for fostering growth and economic development. Moreover, in a country like Bangladesh, poverty alleviation through minimizing income disparity is one of the top priorities. In that context, BB devises supervisory policies in such a manner, especially for last several years, so that banks not only move forward for their own growth, but also can support the development initiatives of the government. On the other hand, NBR too has provided tax incentive on CSR activities aimed towards motivating sustainable development activities. Since the issuance of CSR directive by BB and SRO on after tax incentive from NBR, the involvement of banks in CSR activities has augmented in many folded aspects. Banks’ rapidly increasing participation in CSR activities with incorporation of socially and environmentally accountable organizational objectives, strategies and operations that are swiftly turning into global standards in “socially responsible competition” towards rearing inclusive economic and social growth and facilitate the nation to go forward with desired growth and efficient allocation of resources. Surely the collaborative effort by the concerned government bodies will further increase the CSR activities by banks which will support sustainable development drive of the Bangladesh.

Encryption: types of secure communication and storage
Posted: September 1, 2013 by Pieter Arntz
After supplying you with examples on how to encrypt your mail and how to encrypt files and folders I would like to give you some more information about encryption in general and other examples of encryption use.
Security is, or should be, a major concern on the internet, because we use it to send a lot of sensitive information to others. For example:
Information about your company
Bank and credit card information
Private correspondence
Since human based code is far too easy to crack by modern computers, we rely on computers to encrypt and decrypt our sensitive data. Computer encryption systems generally belong in one of two categories:
Symmetric key encryption
Public key encryption
Symmetric key encryption requires that you know which computers will be talking to each other so you can install the key on each one, so each computer has the secret key that it can use to encrypt a packet of information before being sent over the network to the other computer. In principle it is a secret code that each of the two computers must know in order to decode the information.
The best example is probably AES, which the US government has adopted, and is the worldwide standard. The key size used for an AES cipher specifies the number of repetitions of transformation rounds that convert the input, called the plaintext, into the final output, called the ciphertext. Malwarebytes Secure Backup uses AES encryption for the transfer and backup of your online files.
But this design necessitates sharing of the secret key, considered to be its main weakness when there is a chance of the key being intercepted.
To address this weakness, public key encryption was invented.
Public key encryption uses two different keys at once. A combination of a private key and a public key. The private key is known only to your computer, while the public key is given by your computer to any computer that wants to communicate securely with it.
To decode an encrypted message, a computer must use the public key, provided by the originating computer, and its own private key. The key pair is based on prime numbers of a long length. This makes the system extremely secure, because there is essentially an infinite number of prime numbers available, meaning there are nearly infinite possibilities for keys.
One very popular public-key encryption program is Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), which allows you to encrypt almost anything. We have shown you how to encrypt files and email using PGP.
To use public key encryption on a large scale, for example on a secure Web server, requires a different approach. Here we use digital certificates. Digital certificates are issued by certificate authorities and we trust them to reveal the holder of the certificate is who he claims to be. In other words, it confirms that each computer is in fact who it says it is, and then provides the public keys of each computer to the other.
SSL is an Internet security protocol used by Internet browsers and Web servers to transmit sensitive information. SSL has become part of an overall security protocol known as Transport Layer Security (TLS). TLS and its predecessor SSL make significant use of certificate authorities. Once your browser requests a secure page (https), it sends out the public key and the certificate, checking three things:
the certificate comes from a trusted party
the certificate is currently valid (before the expiry date)
the certificate has a relationship with the site from which it’s coming
When two computers initiate a secure session, one computer creates a symmetric key and sends it to the other computer using public-key encryption. The two computers can then communicate using symmetric-key encryption. Once the session is finished, each computer discards the symmetric key used for that session. Any additional sessions require that a new symmetric key be created, and the process is repeated.
Summary: the strength of encryption depends strongly on the difficulty of discovering the key, so very ingenious systems have been thought up to create keys that can withstand brute force attacks. These methods are so secure, that the human factor must be considered as the weakest link. Meaning that carelessness or manipulating the user into giving out his key are the easiest ways to break the encryption.

Kalmar returns to Grant Park with music of French charm and Spanish fury
Thu Jul 31, 2014 at 12:08 pm

Carlos Kalmar is back in town to lead the final three weeks of the Grant Park Music Festival season. Must the summer leave so soon?
Wednesday night’s program was a typically clever lineup with a rarely heard French symphony, a French violin concerto inspired by Spain, and a contemporary Spanish work inspired by the Baroque.
Leave it to Kalmar, Grant Park’s artistic director and principal conductor, to introduce Chicago audiences to the music of Cristobal Halffter, one of the most intriguing European composers of recent decades. The 84-year-old Spaniard’s music often mines forms of the past, infusing them with a decidedly modernist edge. Scored for massive forces, his works are often unbridled in their explosive fury, the uncompromising intensity akin to symphonic heavy metal. Listen to the composer’s own recording of his Versus and see if you’re not served with an eviction notice in the morning.
Halffter’s Tiento del premier tono y Batalla Imperial is not as edgy as most of his works but certainly closed Wednesday’s concert at the Pritzker Pavilion in rambunctious style. Written in 1986 to honor the 80th birthday of his friend, conductor Paul Sacher, Tiento takes musical inspiration from two Spanish Baroque works (which form the title), deftly working Sacher’s name into the score.
Written for Mahler-sized forces, including six horns, Tiento offers a kind of Spanish baroque on steroids. Kalmar led a full-blooded performance that brought out the elegance and martial fervor of the Baroque material while giving full vent to the discordant fury and sonic punch of the Spaniard’s massive climaxes. Perhaps we might hear Halffter’s concerto for violin or piano in a future Grant Park season.
Edouard Lalo’s once-inescapable Symphonie espagnole seems to have been shot out of the canon in recent decades, its showy virtuosity seemingly too frothy for our pessimistic postmodern era. Lalo’s Spanish-flavored work may not be the deepest violin concerto ever written but it is charming and eminently tuneful with ample opportunities for a charismatic soloist.
Symphonie espagnole seems like unlikely repertory for Christian Tetzlaff, an artist who seems most at home in Bach solo works and big serious concertos. While not quite teasing out the Spanish rhythms as enticingly as say, the young Itzhak Perlman, Tetzlaff delivered a polished and bravura performance, aided immensely by the close-knit support of Kalmar and the Grant Park musicians.
The German violinist’s light dance-like touch offered a lean and focused take on Lalo’s Spanish rhythms, which provided a fine foil for the fervent accompaniment of the orchestra under Kalmar. The tick-tock of the finale’s main theme was especially effective with the lightning exchanges between soloist and orchestra in the virtuosic closing moments handled seamlessly by the players. Tetzlaff, a longtime festival favorite, received a well-deserved ovation.
The evening led off with another rarity. Ernest Chausson’s Symphony in B flat. Chausson went through agony writing his only symphony, and it’s not very hard to understand why. The shadow of the Symphony in D minor by his teacher Cesar Franck hangs as heavily over the work as the foreboding threat of more taxes and fees for Chicago residents. Cast in three movements like the Franck, the inspiration is even more manifest in the music’s chromatic style and the contour of its main themes, especially in the framing movements.
Yet Chausson’s symphony is far from negligible, especially when given the kind of advocacy served up by Kalmar and the Grant Park players Wednesday night. Even in the slow introduction, Kalmar invested the music with a drive and conviction that made it seem like a much stronger, more impressive work. The central movement is especially distinctive, and Kalmar and colleagues fully conveyed the dark melancholy, with a fine solo by principal cello Walter Haman.
The final movement seems about to build to a majestic closing climax when Chausson pulls back for a quiet coda (possibly one reason why the work is so rarely performed) yet the glowing final bars felt fully satisfying, capping a notably impassioned performance.
NOTE: Pianist Markus Groh has cancelled his appearances at this weekend’s Grant Park Music Festival concerts due to illness. He will be replaced by Arnaldo Cohen, who will perform Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21 in place of the scheduled Bartok Piano Concerto No. 3 The rest of the program will remain unchanged.

Alsop’s belated CSO debut proves something to be thankful for
Sat Nov 28, 2015 at 12:46 pm

Two things made Friday night’s Chicago Symphony Orchestra concert notable. First, the program offered a choice pairing of 20th-century American works, a rarity in the current CSO era. Secondly, the event offered the downtown podium debut of Marin Alsop, which proved something to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving weekend.
Alsop’s only previous CSO appearance was a single stand at Ravinia a decade ago, and Friday night’s belated subscription debut can only make one wonder why it took so long for a return engagement.
There were female conductors on the scene who preceded Alsop yet the 59-year-old New York native is the first American woman to enjoy a truly international podium career. Music director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra since 2007, Alsop has recently had her contract extended through 2021. She also leads the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra in Brazil, as well as regularly guest conducting leading orchestras around the world.
Music of Dvořák and American composers constitute Alsop specialties and her CSO program played to these strengths.
For all his renown, Samuel Barber’s popularity rests largely on his Adagio for Strings and Violin Concerto, with a great deal of the American composer’s output still hovering in the shadows. Among these lesser-known items are his three Essays for orchestra, the second of which was performed Friday night.
As the title suggests, Barber’s Essays are non-programmatic works of pure music. The Essay No. 2, in particular, is almost a micro-symphony, packing considerable substance into a single movement spanning just 11 minutes. Barber’s voice is unmistakeable in this taut wartime work (1942) with its jagged, surging drama and strain of ruminative melancholy. Alsop led a full-blooded reading that brought out the searching expression and restless drama, the fugal final section leading to a hard-won, eloquent coda.
A considerably better-known quantity is Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, performed by soloist Jon Kimura Parker, who was also making his downtown CSO debut.

The ebullient Canadian pianist brought a bristling nervous energy to Gershwin’s jazz-meets-classical warhorse that managed to make this music emerge surprisingly fresh after decades of familiarity (exacerbated by numbing iteration from United Airlines commercials). If some of his solo lingering seemed self-conscious, Parker’s virtuosity in the cadenzas and final section were undeniably thrilling. Alsop and the orchestra lent equally idiomatic and high-stepping support, not least John Bruce Yeh’s sassy-sleazy opening clarinet solo.
Regret that Parker wasn’t performing Gershwin’s more substantial Concerto in F was mitigated by the pianist’s dazzling encore of Oscar Peterson’s Blue Etude, a whirlwind bit of finger-blurring jazz virtuosity that brought the audience to its feet.
For many Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7 is the Czech composer’s finest work in the genre, his melodic Bohemian flavor and rhythmic vivacity allied to a darker, tougher style.
At times one wanted a bit more tonal refinement and greater nuance in dynamic and colors in Friday’s performance which fitfully tilted toward generalized vehemence. Yet, as shown in her Naxos recordings, Alsop clearly has an idiomatic way with Dvořák’s music, putting across the bucolic lyricism while keeping a firm undercurrent of dramatic urgency.
The woodwinds were especially fine in the Adagio, conveying Dvorak’s pastoral lyricism, particularly flutist Thomas Robertello (Indiana University) and oboist Charles Hamann (National Arts Centre Orchestra, Ottawa). The Scherzo is among the composer’s best, and Alsop alertly charted the movement as it morphs from tripping, dancelike sway into restless agitation and back. The performance was rounded off with a propulsive finale that conveyed the music’s rugged fervor with a fiery and emphatic coda.
Alsop led off the evening with the local premiere of Anna Clyne’s Masquerade. The conductor debuted the work at the Last Night of the Proms in 2013, and Clyne’s five-minute showpiece for large orchestra takes inspiration from the carnival-like milieu of London’s original Promenade concerts, drawing in part on an old English drinking song for material.
Despite its roiling volume and waves of sound, Masquerade is more chaotic than exhilarating, its herky-jerky writing and heavy-footed rhythms impeding the brilliant effect it is striving for. Alsop led a vital performance and the CSO’s former composer in residence was on hand to share in the polite applause.
The program will be repeated 8 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. cso.org; 312-294-3000.

Great review but we certainly didn’t see the Anna Clyne piece as you did. We did find it exhilarating and a wonderful unusual opener to that program. We thought the CSO did an even better job than the 2013 PROMS, which can beat the CSO at times. And I just don’t see how polite applause suits at all, it seemed like an exhilarating start and exhilarating applause from the end of the piece all the way through Clyne’s coming up to take a bow and shake Alsop’s hand back to her seat.

Enjoyed the review, however from the gallery on saturday, in the Dvorak there was a good balance between incisive tutti’s and lyrical moments. if any thing, the trumpets and trombones (unlike the horns)were a little too polite and could have cut through more at key moments. The guest principal oboe had a wonderful plaintive way with Dvorak’s melodic lines.

The city of Rio de Janeiro, called by some writers St. It is at present the capital of all Brasil, and has been for some time the residence of the Viceroy. These distinctions it obtained in preference to St. Salvador, which was formerly the capital, by means of the diamond mines discovered in its vicinity, in the year The place increasing rapidly by the wealth thus brought to it, Woman looking real sex Bay Pines fortified and put under the care of a governor in The port is one of the finest in the world, very narrow at the entrance, and within capacious enough to contain more ships than ever were assembled at one station.
It has soundings from twenty to one hundred and twenty fathoms. A hill shaped like a sugar loaf, situated on the west side, marks the proper bearing for entering the harbour: The mouth of the harbour is defended by forts, particularly two, called Santa Cruz and Lozia; and the Ladies want sex Boise Idaho 83712 anchorage within it is before the Woman looking real sex Bay Pines, north of a small island named Dos Cobras.
There are in this port established fees, which are paid by all merchant ships, Portuguese as well as strangers: The entrance fee was demanded for the transports in this expedition, but when Governor Phillip had alledged that they were loaded with King's stores, the payment was no more insisted upon.
Nevertheless, the Captain of the Port gave his attendance, with his boat's crew, to assist the ships in coming in, there being at that time only a light air, hardly sufficient to carry them up the bay. In the narrative of Captain Cook's Voyage inwe find, on his arrival at this place, great appearance of suspicion on the part of the Viceroy, harsh prohibitions of landing, even to the gentlemen employed in philosophical researches, and some proceedings rather of a violent nature.
The reception given by the present Viceroy to Governor Phillip and his officers was very different: Don Lewis de Varconcellos, the reigning Viceroy, belongs to one of the noblest families in Portugal; is brother to the Marquis of Castello Methor, and to the Count of Pombeiro. Governor Phillip, who served for some years as a Captain in the Free porn of Silver Spring ladies navy, and is deservedly much honoured by that nation, was not personally unknown to the Viceroy, though known in a way which, in a less liberal mind, might have produced very different dispositions.
There had been some difference between them, on a public account, in this port, when Governor Phillip commanded the Europe: As soon as he was fully informed of the nature of Governor Phillip's commission, he gave it out in orders to the garrison that the Fuck buddies Wichita Kansas honours should be paid to that officer as to himself. This distinction the Governor modestly wished to decline, but was Woman looking real sex Bay Pines permitted.
His officers were all introduced to the Viceroy, and were, as well as himself, received with every possible mark of attention to them, and regard for their country. They were allowed to visit all parts of the city, and even to make excursions as far as five miles into the country, entirely unattended: Provisions were here so cheap, that notwithstanding the allowance of meat was fixed by Governor Phillip at twenty ounces a day, the men were victualled completely, rice, fresh vegetables, and firing included, at three-pence three-farthings a head.
Wine was not at this season to be had, except from the retail dealers, less was therefore purchased than would otherwise have been taken. Rum, however, was laid in; and all such seeds and plants procured as were thought likely to flourish on the coast Woman looking real sex Bay Pines New South Wales, particularly coffee, indigo, cotton, and the cochineal fig.
Cassada, the bread of thousands in the tropical climates, affords one of those instances in which the ingenuity of man might be said to triumph over the intentions of nature, were it not evidently the design of Providence that we should in all ways exert our invention and sagacity to the utmost, for our own security and support.
It is the root of a shrub called Cassada, or Cassava Jatropha, and in its crude state is highly poisonous. By washing, pressure, and evaporation, it is deprived of all its noxious qualities, and being formed into Woman looking real sex Bay Pines becomes a salubrious and not an unpalatable substitute for bread.
By the indulgence of the Viceroy, the deficiency in the military stores observed at the departure of the transports from Woman looking real sex Bay Pines, was made up by a supply purchased from the Royal arsenal; nor was any assistance withheld which either the place afforded, or the stores of government could furnish.
The circumstances, which in this place most astonish a stranger, and particularly a Protestant, are, the great abundance of images dispersed throughout the city, and the devotion Woman looking real sex Bay Pines to them.
They are placed at the corner of almost every street, and are never passed without a respectful salutation; but at night they are constantly surrounded by their respective votaries, who offer up their prayers aloud, and make the air resound in all quarters with the notes of their hymns.
The strictness of manners in the inhabitants is not said to be at all equivalent to the warmth of this devotion; but in all countries and climates it is found much easier to perform Woman looking real sex Bay Pines acts of reputed piety, than to acquire the internal habits so much more essential.
It must be owned, however, that our people did not find the ladies so indulgent as some voyagers have represented them.
Woman looking real sex Bay Pines
It was near a month before Governor Phillip could furnish his ships with every thing which it was necessary they should now procure. At length, on the 4th of September he weighed anchor, and as he passed the fort, received from the Viceroy the last compliment it was lookjng his power to pay, being saluted with twenty-one guns.
The salute was returned by an equal number from the Sirius ; and thus Womwn an intercourse honourable to both nations, and particularly to the principal officer employed in the service of each. A Prosperous course by sea, like a state of profound peace and tranquility in civil society, though most advantageous to those who enjoy Woman looking real sex Bay Pines, is unfavourable to the purposes of narration.
The striking facts which the writer exerts himself to record, and the reader is eager to peruse, arise only from difficult situations: Of this acceptable but unproductive kind was the passage of the Botany Bay fleet from Rio de Janeiro to the Cape of Good Hope; uniformly favourable, and Hot couples Etna New Hampshire marked by any extraordinary incidents. Sez run, from about lat. Here they Woman looking real sex Bay Pines to take their final refreshment, and lay in every kind of stock with which they were not already provided.
In this period no additional lives had sez lost, except that of a single convict belonging to the Charlotte transport, who fell accidentally into the sea, and could not by any efforts be recovered. Table Bay, on the north-west side of the Cape of Good Hope, is named from the Table Mountain, a promontory of considerable elevation, at the foot of which, and almost in the centre of the Bay, stands Cape Town, the principal Dutch settlement in this territory.
This Bay cannot properly be called a port, being by no means a station of security; it is exposed to all the violence of the winds which set into it from the sea; and is far from sufficiently iPnes from those which blow from the land. Dex gusts which descend from the summit of Pones Mountain are sufficient to force ships from their anchors, and even violently to annoy persons on the shore, by destroying any tents or other temporary edifices which may be erected, rewl Woman looking real sex Bay Pines clouds of fine dust, which produce very troublesome effects.
A gale of this kind, from the south-east, blew for three days successively when Capt. Cook lay here in his first voyage, at which time, he informs us, the Resolution was the only ship in the Horny women in fort erie that had not Woman looking real sex Bay Pines her anchors.
The Real World: Hawaii - Wikipedia
The storms from the sea are still more formidable; so much so, that ships have frequently been driven by them from their anchorage, and wrecked at the head of the Bay. But Woman looking real sex Bay Pines accidents happen chiefly in the quaade mousson, or winter months, from May 14 to the same day of August; during which time few Womna venture to anchor here. Our fleet, arriving later, lay perfectly unmolested as long as it was necessary for it to remain in this station.
False Bay, on the south-east side of the Cape, is more secure than Table Bay, during the prevalence of Beautiful lady searching casual sex dating Springdale Arkansas north-west winds, but still less so in strong gales from the south-east. It is however less frequented, being twenty-four miles of very heavy road distant from Cape Town, whence almost all necessaries must be procured.
The most sheltered part of False Bay is a recess on the west side, called Simon's Bay. The Cape of Good Hope, though popularly called, and perhaps pretty generally esteemed so, is not in truth the most southern point of Africa.
The land which projects furthest to looing Woman looking real sex Bay Pines is a point to Woman looking real sex Bay Pines east of it, called by the English Cape Lagullus; a name corrupted from the original Portugueze das Agulhas, which, as well as the French appellation des Aiguilles, is descriptive of its form, and would rightly be translated Needle Cape.
Three eminences, divided by very narrow passes, and appearing in Fat handsome man seeks cute slender woman distant view like three summits of the same mountain, stand at the head of Table Bay. Table Mountain is so called from its appearance, as it terminates in a flat horizontal surface, from which the face of the rock descends almost perpendicularly. This mountain rises to about Woman looking real sex Bay Pines above the level of the sea.
Devil's Head, called also Charles mountain, is situated to the east of the former, and is not above feet Mum wanting sex in Alamo height; reaal on the west side of Table Mountain, Lion's Head, whose name is also meant to be descriptive, does not exceed feet.

In the neighbourhood of the latter lies Constantia, a district consisting of two farms, wherein the famous wines of that Woman looking real sex Bay Pines are produced. Our voyagers found provisions less plentiful and less reasonable in price at Cape Town than they had been taught to expect.
Board and lodging, which are to be had only in private houses, stood the officers in two rix-dollars a day, which is near nine shillings sterling.
This town, the only place in the whole colony to which that title can be applied with propriety, is of no great extent; it does not in any part exceed two miles: When we consider the vast advantages derived by the Dutch colonists from this traffic, and the almost indispensible necessity by which navigators of all nations are driven to seek refreshment there, it cannot but appear extraordinary, that from the discovery of the Cape inby Barthelemi Diaz, to the yearwhen, at the suggestion of John Van Riebeck, the first Dutch colony was sent, a spot so very favourable to commerce and navigation should have remained unoccupied by Europeans.
Perhaps all the perseverance of the Dutch character was necessary Woman looking real sex Bay Pines to suggest the idea of maintaining an establishment in a soil so burnt by the sun, and so little Collingwood nude ass tits to repay the toil of the cultivator. The example and success of this people Woman looking real sex Bay Pines serve, however, as an useful instruction to all who in great undertakings are deterred by trifling obstacles; and who, rather than contend with difficulties, are inclined to relinquish the most evident advantages.
But though the country near the Cape had not charms enough to render it as pleasing as Lonely single women in Parkersburg which surrounds Rio de Janeiro, yet the Governor, Mynheer Van Graaffe, was not far behind the Viceroy of Brazil in attention to the English officers.
They were admitted to his table, where Woman looking real sex Bay Pines were elegantly entertained, and had reason to be pleased in all respects with his behaviour and disposition. Yet the minds of his people were not at this time in a tranquil state; the accounts from Holland were such as occasioned much uneasiness, and great preparations were making at the fort, from apprehension of a rupture with some other power. In the course of a month, the live stock and other provisions were procured; and the ships, having on board not less than five hundred animals of different kinds, but chiefly poultry, put on an appearance which naturally enough excited the idea Pjnes Noah's ark.
This supply, considering that the country had previously suffered from a dearth, was very considerable; but it was purchased of course at a higher expence considerably than it would have been in lookint time of greater plenty. On the 12th of November the fleet set sail, Women Utah looking to fuck tonight was for many days much delayed by strong winds from the south-east.
On the 25th, being then only 80 leagues to the eastward of the Cape, Governor Phillip left the Sirius and went on board the Supply tender; in hopes, by leaving the convoy, to gain sufficient time for examining the country round Botany Bay, so as to fix on the situation most eligible for the sx, before the transports should arrive.
At the same time he ordered the agents for the transports, who were in the Alexanderto separate themselves from the convoy with that eex, the Scarborough and FriendshipWoman looking real sex Bay Pines, as they were better sailors than the rest, might reasonably be expected sooner: Major Ross, the Commandant of Marines, now left the Siriusand went on board Woman looking real sex Bay Pines Scarboroughthat he might accompany that part of the detachment which probably would be landed first.
Captain Hunter, in the Byawas to follow with the store-ships, and the remainder of the transports; and he had the necessary instructions for his future proceedings, in case the Supply had met with any accident. From this time to the 3d of January,the winds were as Woman looking real sex Bay Pines as could be wished, blowing generally in very strong gales from the north-west, west, and south-west.
Once only the wind had shifted to the east, but continued Woman looking real sex Bay Pines that direction not more than a few hours. Thus assisted, the Supplywhich sailed but very indifferently, and turned out, from what she had suffered in the voyage, to be hardly a safe conveyance, performed in fifty-one days a voyage of more than seven thousand miles.
On the day abovementioned she was within sight of the coast of New South Wales.
But the winds then became variable, and a current, which at times set very strongly to the southward, so much impeded her course, that it was not till the 18th that she arrived at Botany Bay.
At the Woman looking real sex Bay Pines first landing of Governor Phillip on the shore Frizzy hair girl at the kwick South Portland Maine Botany Bay, an interview with the natives took place. They were all armed, but on seeing the Governor approach with signs of friendship, alone and unarmed, they readily returned his confidence by laying down their weapons.
They were perfectly devoid of cloathing, yet seemed fond of ornaments, putting the beads and red baize that were given them, on their heads or necks, and appearing pleased to wear them. The presents offered by their new visitors were all readily accepted, nor did any kind of disagreement arise while the ships remained in Botany Bay. This very pleasing effect was produced in no Woman looking real sex Bay Pines degree by the personal address, as well as by the great care and attention of the Governor.
Nor were the orders which enforced a conduct so humane, more honourable to the persons from whom they originated, than the punctual execution of them was to the officers sent out: The next care after landing was the examination of the bay itself, from which it appeared that, though extensive, it did not afford a shelter from the easterly winds: Several runs of fresh water were found in different parts of the bay, but there did not appear to be any situation to which there was not some very strong objection.
In the northern part of it is a small creek, which runs a considerable way into the country, but it has water Woman looking real sex Bay Pines for a boat, the sides of it are frequently overflowed, and the low lands near it are a perfect swamp. The western branch of Woman looking real sex Bay Pines bay is continued to a great extent, but the officers sent to examine it Piines not Pjnes there lookinb supply of fresh water, except in very small drains. Point Sutherland offered the most eligible Woman looking real sex Bay Pines, having a run of good water, though not in very great abundance.
But to this part of the harbour the ships could not approach, and the ground near it, even in the higher BBay, was Find a fuck buddy in hartford general damp and spungy. Smaller numbers might indeed in several spots have found a comfortable residence, but no place was found in the whole circuit of Botany Bay which seemed at all calculated for the Pnes of so large a Woman looking real sex Bay Pines.
While this examination was carried on, the whole fleet had arrived. The Supply had not so much outsailed the other ships as to give Governor Phillip the advantage he had expected in point of time. These ships had all continued very healthy; they had not, however, yet arrived at their final station. The openness of this bay, and the dampness of the soil, by which the people would probably be rendered unhealthy, had already determined the Governor to seek another situation.
He resolved, therefore, to examine Port Jackson, a bay mentioned by Captain Cook as lookimg to the north of this. There he hoped to find, not only a better harbour, but a fitter place for the establishment of his new government. But that no time might be lost, in case of a disappointment in these particulars, the ground near Point Sutherland was ordered immediately to be cleared, and preparations to be made Adult wants real sex McKees Rocks landing, under the direction of the Lieutenant Governor.
These Womman having been settled, Governor Phillip prepared to proceed to the examination of Port Jackson: On the 22d of January they set out upon this expedition, and early Fat japanese swinger the afternoon arrived lloking Port Jackson, which is distant Bag three leagues.
Woman looking real sex Bay Pines I Ready Sexy Chat
Here all regret arising from the former disappointments was at once obliterated; and Governor Phillip had the satisfaction to find one of the finest harbours in the world, in which a thousand sail of the Woman looking real sex Bay Pines might ride in perfect security.
The different coves of this harbour were examined with all possible expedition, and the preference was given to one which had the finest spring of water, Woman looking real sex Bay Pines in which ships can anchor so close to the shore, that at a very small expence quays Woman looking real sex Bay Pines be constructed at which the largest vessels may unload.
This cove is about half a mile in length, and a quarter of a mile across at the entrance. On the arrival of the boats at Port Jackson, a second party of the natives made its appearance near the place of landing. These also were armed with lances, and at first were very vociferous; but the same gentle means used towards the others easily persuaded these also to discard their suspicions, and to accept whatsoever was offered.
One man in particular, who appeared to be the chief of this tribe, shewed very singular marks both of confidence in his new friends, and of determined resolution. Under the guidance Dating northbrook Governor Phillip, to whom he voluntarily intrusted himself, he went to a part of the beach where the men belonging Woman looking real sex Bay Pines the boats were then boiling their meat: He then went on with perfect calmness to examine what was boiling in the pot, and by the manner in which he expressed his admiration, made it evident that he intended to profit by what he saw.
Governor Phillip contrived to make him understand that large shells might conveniently be used for the same purpose, and it is probable that by these hints, added to his own observation, he will be enabled to introduce the art Woman looking real sex Bay Pines boiling among his countrymen. Hitherto they appear to have known no other way of dressing food than broiling.
Their methods of kindling fire are probably very imperfect and laborious, for it is observed that they usually keep it burning, and are very rarely seen without either a fire actually made, or a piece of lighted wood, which they carry with them from place to place, and even in their canoes.
In passing near a point of land in this harbour, the boats were perceived by a number of the natives, twenty of whom waded into the water unarmed, received what was offered them, and examined Housewives looking sex Gladstone-Tannum Sands Queensland boat with a curiosity which impressed a higher idea of them than any former accounts of their manners had suggested.
This confidence, and manly behaviour, induced Governor Phillip, who was highly pleased with it, to give the place the name of Manly Cove. The same people afterwards joined the party at the place where they had landed to dine.
They were then armed, two of them with shields and swords, the rest with lances only.

The swords were made of wood, small in the gripe, and apparently less formidable than a good stick. One of these men had a kind of white clay rubbed upon the upper part of his face, so as to have the appearance of a mask. This ornament, if it can be called such, is not common among them, and is probably assumed only on particular occasions, or as a distinction to a few individuals. One woman had been seen on the rocks as the boats passed, with her face, neck and breasts thus painted, and to our people appeared the most disgusting figure imaginable; her own countrymen were perhaps delighted by the beauty of the effect.
During the preparation for dinner the curiosity of these visitors rendered them very troublesome, but an innocent contrivance altogether removed the inconvenience. Governor Phillip drew a circle round the place where the English were, and without much difficulty made the natives understand lookkng they were not to pass that line; after which they sat down in By Woman looking real sex Bay Pines.
Another proof how tractable these people are, when no insult or injury is offered, and when proper means are to influence the simplicity of their minds. On the 24th of January, Governor Phillip having sufficiently explored Port Jackson, and found it in all respects highly calculated to receive such a settlement as he was appointed to establish, returned to Botany Bay.
On his arrival there, the reports made to him, both of the ground which the people Woman looking real sex Bay Pines clearing, and of the upper parts of the Bay, Woman want nsa Decatur Island in this interval had been more particularly examined, were in the greatest degree unfavourable. It was impossible after this to hesitate concerning the choice of a situation; and orders were accordingly issued for the removal of the whole fleet to Port Jackson.
That Botany Bay Woman looking real sex Bay Pines have appeared to Captain Cook in a more advantageous light than to Governor Phillip, is not by any means Womn. Their objects were very different; the one required only shelter and refreshment for a small vessel, and during but a short time: The appearance of the place is picturesque and pleasing, and the ample harvest Richmond married milf afforded, of botanical acquisitions, made it interesting to the philosophical reall engaged in that expedition; but something more essential than beauty of appearance, and more necessary than philosophical riches, must be sought in a place where the permanent residence of multitudes is to be established.
Preparations for a general removal were now made with all convenient expedition: In this remote region visitors from Woman looking real sex Bay Pines were very little expected, and their arrival, while the cause of it remained unknown, Woman looking real sex Bay Pines in geal minds a temporary apprehension, accompanied by a multiplicity of conjectures, many of them sufficiently ridiculous.
Governor Phillip was the first to recollect that two ships had been sent out some time before from France for Pimes purpose of discovery, and rightly concluded these to be the same. Pinees as the opposition of the wind, and a strong current Woman seeking sex tonight Foley Alabama them at present from working into the harbour, and even drove them out of sight again to the south, he did not think proper to delay his departure for the lopking of making further enquiry.
On the 25th of January therefore, seven lookkng after the arrival of the SupplyGovernor Phillip quitted Botany Bay in the same ship, and sailed to Port Jackson. The rest of the fleet, under convoy of the Loomingwas ordered to follow, as soon as the abatement of the wind, which then blew a strong gale, should facilitate its working out of the Bay.
The Supply was scarcely out of sight when the French ships again appeared off the mouth of the harbour, and a boat was immediately sent to them, with offers of every kind Bwy information and assistance their situation could require. It was now learnt that these were, Woman looking real sex Bay Pines the Governor had supposed, the Boussole and the Lolkingon a voyage of discovery, under the conduct of Monsieur Oooking Perouse.
On the 26th, the transports and store Lady wants casual sex Silver Lake-Fircrest, attended by the Siriusfinally evacuated Botany Bay; and in a very short time they were all The woman adult hooks listener in Sydney Cove, the place now destined for their port, and rael the reception of the kooking settlement.
The French ships had come to Married woman wants sex Alton in Botany Bay just before the departure of the Sirius ; and oooking the intercourse which then took place, M. Governor Phillip Piness no sooner informed of this, than he dispatched an officer to him with full information of the time when it was probable our ships would sail, and with assurances that his letters should be punctually transmitted.
By this officer the following intelligence was brought back concerning the voyage of the Astrolabe and Boussole. These vessels had sailed from France in June They had touched at the Isle of Santa Woman looking real sex Bay Pines on the Woman looking real sex Bay Pines of Lookingg, from thence had gone by the extremity of South America into the Pacific Ocean, where they had run along by the coasts of Chili and California.
In this long voyage he had not lost any of his people by sickness; but two boats crews had unfortunately Housewives personals in Loxahatchee FL in a surf on the north-west coast of America; and at Masuna, one rela the Isles des Navigateurs, M.
L'Angle, Captain of the Astrolabehad met with a fate still more unfortunate. That officer had gone ashore with two long boats for the purpose of filling some water casks. His party amounted to forty men, and the natives, from whom the French had received abundance of refreshments, and with whom they had been uniformly on the best terms, did not on their landing show any signs of a change of disposition.
Malice unprovoked, and treachery without a motive, seem inconsistent even with the manners of Wonan the French officers therefore, confiding in this unbroken state of amity, had suffered their boats to lie aground.

The Ultrastar® SS300 – Our Highest-Performing SAS SSD to Date
By Mitch Abbey
Today, we announced the Ultrastar® SS300 – our newest generation of our popular SAS SSD, integrating advanced controller technology with 3D NAND. With twice the write performance, higher capacities, and better data durability than our previous generation along with the best SAS SSD watt per IOPs consumption – there’s a lot to get excited about!
The Ultrastar SS300 – Power the Most Challenging Workloads with Greater Efficiency
Meet @HGSTstorage highest-performing enterprise SAS #SSD to date, Ultrastar SS300
From Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), to video pre/post-production, ultra-high performance tier-0 enterprise storage, e-commerce or database analytics – businesses are pressed for faster data access and require performance consistency for stringent application service level agreements (SLAs). This next generation of SAS SSDs delivers ultra-high performance to help you address data access challenges and power the most challenging workloads.
The Ultrastar SS300 is based on our latest controller technology and contains a multi-core architecture which enable us to nearly saturate the 12Gb/s SAS interface with up to 2100MB/s sequential read throughput. It offers the highest read/write performance at 14W operating power, delivering up to 400,000 read and 200,000 write IOPS—double the random write speed of our current 12Gb/s SSDs— and delivering the best SAS SSD IOPs/Watt
for industry leading operational efficiency and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
Trust Your Data to Extraordinary Durability and Security
Data is the most valuable asset of your company. That’s why our advanced
technology ensures complete end-to-end data protection, with enhanced error detection and correction for optimal data integrity even during power failure.
The Ultrastar SS300 family achieves an extraordinary 0.35% annual failure rate (AFR), or 2.5 million hours mean-time- between-failure (MTBF). For extreme write-intensive applications, the 3.2TB 10 DW/D capacity Ultrastar SS300 supports unlimited reads and endures up to 59 petabytes of random writes. That’s the equivalent of writing 32 terabytes per day, for five years!
To help protect user data from unauthorized access we offer various security options, utilizing cryptographic hardware modules that employ FIPS-approved algorithms. These options include crypto sanitize models that insure all user data is swiftly retired such as during drive redeployment or disposal. To address security access among multiple users or services there are drive models that support independently controlled data bands compliant with industry-standard TCG Enterprise protocols.
Supporting a Broad Range of Needs
No two workloads are alike. We understand that you need tailored solutions to power your applications. The Ultrastar SS300 family provides capacities ranging from 400GB to 7.68TB, various endurance levels and power options to support a broader range of customer needs than ever before.
The 2.5” form factor and HDD architecture commonality allows for compatibility with our Ultrastar SAS HDDs. We ensure interoperability and compliance through testing and extensive systems integration so that you can rely on cost effective, end-to-end enterprise-class storage solutions.
A Powerful Legacy
I joined the company back in 2010 when we were known as Hitachi Global Storage Technologies. Since then we have shipped millions of Ultrastar SAS SSDs!
Western Digital is a leader in SAS SSD shipments. We have tremendous experience in building class-leading SAS SSDs, and the Ultrastar SS300 builds upon that legacy. Our HGST-brand drives are the ideal choice to help you meet the needs of escalating reliability, endurance, and performance. You can trust your most demanding workloads to depend on the Ultrastar SS300.

Fall in Love with Korea's Danpung Season
Photo Credit Every fall, there is a mass movement across the country, and I'm not talking about the geese. In Korea, families, couples, hikers and photographers make up part of the diverse group of tourists setting out for a danpung yeohaeng, or a trip to see the changing of the leaves. (Danpung is changing of the leaves and yeohaeng means trip or vacation) We've written a post about what to enjoy about summer in Korea and we should be writing one soon about the winter (the ondol, or heated floor, system here is fascinating!). Each season holds a special place for Korean people and culture. As in many cultures, fall is thought of as a romantic season here; a time to literally fall in love and snag up a significant other in time for the winter holidays. One of the most popular Korean dramas to date, "Autumn in my Heart" takes place during this season, nodding to this notion of fall romance. This phrase can be heard a lot throughout the season: Ga-eul-tahn-dah, or roughly translated as feeling sentimental during the fall. Fall gives way to feelings of nostalgia and longing,...More

Autumn in my heart review by akasha0707
his is the drama series that will make you cry for 18 hours straight! One of the must-watch series, here, you will experience the pain of love and loss. A story that probably spawned from Romeo and Juliet with elements of Asian culture, Autumn in my heart plays with themes of family love, incest, deception, jealousy, loss and tragic love worth dying for... literally. With an amazing cast, Song Hye Kyo and Song Seung-heon were able to express the feeling of love and longingness with utter perfection. For fans of melodrama, this is a series that you shouldn't miss.

this is the first korean series that caught the Filipino hearts..
the casts are all great and good-looking...the story may not suit the filipino culture but the series was still able to pull our heartstrings....
this series hold the record for the most number of times aired in the same station.. due to insistent public demand it was repeatedly aired 4 times in 3 years.... the 2nd and third time was aired in the same day-one at lunch and the other during midnight....
and responses are still positive for another airing....

The California Comprehensive Center worked with the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and other education and policy stakeholders to complete a comprehensive revision of the system by modifying the policies, processes, and expectations that are central to administrator preparation in the state. Beginning in 2017, every educator preparing for administration has been touched by improvement efforts to California’s school administrator preparation system. By 2022, an expected 9,800 new, highly-skilled administrators will comprise almost 40% of California’s school administrators.

The Initial Impact of the California Administrator Performance Assessment (CalAPA) Policy on Preparation Programs
Authors: Karen Kearney (CA CC), Heather Mattson (CA CC), Rebecca Cheung (Principal Institute, UC Berkeley), and Reino Makkonen (REL-W)
In this study, The Initial Impact of the California Administrator Performance Assessment (CalAPA) Policy on Preparation Programs, researchers sought to examine the initial impact of the California Administrator Performance Assessment (CalAPA) policy by identifying early changes in administrator preparation programs’ practices.
Major findings in the areas of Coursework, Fieldwork, Resources, and Support are complemented by a discussion section that provides related commentary about key issues in the field of education to examine and a considerations section that identifies several short-term and long-term actions that policymakers, state-level agencies, and educators in the field may want to think about carrying out.
The study’s findings can be used by administrator preparation programs, policymakers, and the education field at large to inform possible refinements to the performance assessment policy; inform ways that preparation programs integrate and implement the performance assessments, and help determine how best to support administrator candidates through the preparation and assessment process.
Greatness by Design (GbD)
The CA CC works closely with the CDE and the CTC to implement recommendations from the state’s Educator Excellence Task Force report, Greatness by Design- Supporting Outstanding Teaching to Sustain a Golden State (GbD).
Recommendations focus on: Recruiting and Equitably Distributing Excellent Educators, Preparing Educators, Inducting Teachers and School Leaders, Offering Ongoing Professional Learning, Evaluating Educators, and Providing Leadership and Career Development Opportunities.
Also, see a GbD summary developed by the CA CC.
Quality Professional Learning Standards (QPLS)
To activate GbD recommendations, the CA CC provides support to CDE’s Professional Learning and Support Division in building the awareness and understanding of educators, policymakers and stakeholders that professional learning is the state’s key educator improvement strategy. This work has a specific focus on applying the Superintendent’s Quality Professional Learning Standards (QPLS) to state, regional, and local efforts that target the implementation of continuous educator learning across career stages. They describe quality criteria that shape a coherent professional learning system that is guided by equity and is reflected in both state and local plans and activities (e.g., ESSA, Educator Equity, administrator preparation and support, and Local Control Accountability Plans).
The CA CC collaborated with CDE staff to create resources for LEAs and other stakeholders to learn about and apply the QPLS:
Quality Professional Learning Standards (QPLS) Overview video
Professional Learning System Review: A Companion Tool for the Quality Professional Learning Standards – supports educators to collaboratively engage in careful study and analysis about whether or not they are implementing professional learning that is based upon sound research, strategies, and practices.
Administrator Preparation and Induction
The CTC is California’s agency for licensing teachers, administrators and other educators. The CA CC has engaged with the CTC in a multi-year process to update and refine the state’s administrator preparation and induction system. By organizing and convening stakeholder panels and conducting public review and comment periods, program and professional standards, expectations and support documents have been developed, approved by the Commission and are now requirements for program accreditation and administrator certification.
The following shape the updated and revised Administrative Services Credential Programs:
Administrative Services Credential Standards – Preliminary Program Standards and Clear Induction Program Standards describe the system of administrator preparation, including requirements for Program Sponsors for accreditation and standards and expectations for candidates and new administrators.
California Professional Standards for Education Leaders (CPSEL) are standards that express expectations for administrators at the professional level. They are the foundation for the new induction program geared for credential candidates who have successfully completed preliminary preparation and are finalizing their preparation in an induction program while simultaneously serving in their first administrator positions
Descriptions of Practice (DOP) enhance the usefulness of the CPSEL by illustrating what individual elements within each of the six CPSEL look like across a continuum of practice—ranging from practice directed toward the standard to practice exemplifying the standard. The continuum can be used for a variety of purposes, including developing formative assessments, planning leadership preparation and induction activities, professional learning or coaching.
California Administrator Performance Expectations (CAPE) define the knowledge, skills and abilities expected to be demonstrated by candidates at the end of the preliminary preparation period. The CAPE are used as the basis for the design and development of the new California Administrator Performance Assessment (CalAPA).
Clear Administrative Services Credential Induction Modules provide information and examples about administrator induction programs and practices to credential program leaders and candidates of the new Clear Administrative Services Credentials, induction coaches, employers and others engaged in guiding and supporting beginning administrators.
California Administrator Content Expectations (CACE) are non-regulatory guidance that describe the underlying content knowledge needed by the administrative services candidate to successfully meet the performance expectations.
The California Comprehensive Center at WestEd (CA CC) supported the California Department of Education (CDE) with a two-year state pilot focused on teacher evaluation by providing design and implementation coaching on the content of the pilot sessions, developing of evidence-informed tools and resources, facilitating key sessions for pilot participants, and documenting the pilot for the CDE team.
Principal Evaluation
The CA CC also published a series of resources on principal evaluation as part of the Center’s support of the Integrated Leadership Development Initiative (ILDI), a state cross-agency partnership. The resource collection provides examples and features of effective principal evaluation systems employed by states and districts, including considerations for developing local systems, examples of implementation and resources in support of these systems, and literature reviews identifying themes and perspectives that might be useful to practitioners and policymakers working to improve district principal evaluation systems.

The most exciting and collectible Audi of all time
Extremely well-preserved and maintained example
One of only 10 examples made for the U.S. market – one of 164 street examples worldwide
Extensive mechanical servicing and concours preparation performed by Canepa
300+ horsepower, 240lb/ft+ of torque from its 2.1-liter turbocharged engine
Brought to the U.S. to promote Pikes Peak in 1986, then federalized for U.S. road use
Audi’s famous homologation street car for Group B racing
In 1982, the World Rally Championship introduced Group B racing, allowing manufacturers to create modified sports cars to enter the worldwide rally circuit. The most famous, Group B attributed to sparking the creation of some of the most powerful and fastest rally cars ever built, with some cars seemingly defying physics and producing power levels into the stratosphere. Group B also required that at least 200 road going units, or homologation cars, to be produced in order for that model to participate in rallying. When Audi introduced the Sport Quattro, it changed the rally landscape forever.
This exceptional example was produced at the Audi factory on June 19th, 1985. This is one of the rarest versions of the road-going Sport Quattros, as it is one of the original 10 examples destined for the U.S. market out of all 164 street cars delivered of the total of 214 cars produced. These 10 cars were imported and federalized by the Porsche/Audi factory. Ten Sport Quattros were brought over to the 1986 Pikes Peak Hill Climb to promote the Sport Quattros. Audi looked for high-profile individuals in order to sell the cars here in the U.S. Once the hill climb race was over, the 10 cars were federalized to meet U.S. specifications and then sold to individuals that Audi deemed special enough to own the Group B homologation car. The first owner of this car kept it close to two years and had the car serviced at the same dealership in Dublin, Ohio, with its last noted service in the owner’s manual showing 15,881 miles.
The car would go into hiding for almost 16 years, making its return to the public at The Auto Collection in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2004, showing only 19,000 miles according to prior sources. In October of 2004, Gary Gaska, a longtime resident of Oregon, purchased the car and made it a part of his small car collection. His collection, while small, consisted of two cars that he enjoyed and took care of with the utmost enthusiasm and respect. The Sport Quattro was his pride and joy, keeping it stored indoors during his ownership as evidence of how well preserved this car is today.
In 2012 Gary was attending the Pebble Beach Concours and was spotted by someone, eventually asking if he could buy the car from him. The Sport Quattro was not for sale, but the same person kept pursuing Gary, checking in on him and the car and waiting for the right moment. Finally, after months of talking, Gary was convinced and paired with an offer he couldn’t refuse, and the determined individual became the third owner of this Sport Quattro.
The search for this Sport Quattro by the current owner was not done quickly by any means. He went far out of his way looking for a perfect example that was extremely original and unmolested, an extremely rare state for Sport Quattros. After finding and examining 5 different examples of Sport Quattros, he determined that this was the finest example that he had ever seen. Well cared for, extremely original and in excellent condition, it checked all the boxes for what he considered the perfect Sport Quattro. After he acquired the car, he had the car evaluated to see what work might be needed. He had the fluids changed and minimal work was needed to start driving the car often and drove it for a few years. After being in his collection for some time, he decided that a visit to Canepa was in the Sport Quattro’s next major step for the ultimate mechanical refresh and preservation restoration.
When the Audi arrived at Canepa, he worked closely with Bruce Canepa to ensure that the vision he had was correctly conveyed. The priority was to keep everything as original as possible, from surfaces to parts to even the smallest finishes. With that in mind, the project began and would turn this Sport Quattro from a great example into perhaps one the finest in existence today.
The Quattro was first given a comprehensive and lengthy mechanical inspection, checking and testing each system ensuring that it was operating in the way the Audi factory would have intended. During the federalization process, some extra components were added to the car to ensure that the car passed emissions. This “piggyback” system was not allowing the Audi to reach its full potential and was promptly removed, with the intent to return the car back to original specifications. During mechanical inspection, it was decided to remove the engine from the car and give the inline-5 turbocharged engine a full rebuild with new parts to boost power a bit. This lengthy process involved new pistons, a very slight overbore, along with a full rebuild the entire engine that yielded a Sport Quattro engine full of power and eager to rev.
With the engine out of the car, Canepa took the opportunity to give the Sport Quattro an extremely detailed and sympathetic concours preparation and detailing inside and out. After spending over 3 days removing every single bit of grime from underneath the car, all of the original factory Audi finishes were revealed. Original plating, paint finishes and hardware gleamed with a shine that only comes from original factory spec coatings and finishes. This only added to the fact of how well taken care of this car was with 33,200 miles at the time. Everything else on the car was detailed with the same attention to detail. The all-original interior was delicately cleaned in order to preserve the factory materials, and the exterior paint was polished to such a perfect finish that it may have been better than when it left the factory in 1985. The spare wheel and tire were cleaned, noting that the tire on the wheel was original and had never been removed from the rim. With the entire car now perfectly detailed, the freshly-rebuilt engine was mated back to the car and assembled together. With everything finished and buttoned up, it was given a proper testing which included a trip to Canepa’s dyno. With Canepa’s work completed to the tune of over $140,000, the mechanically perfect and cosmetically concours-detailed Sport Quattro was now ready to be enjoyed by its owner.
Enjoying the Sport Quattro was an easy task for the collector, citing that after the work Canepa had done that it was running the best it had ever has. He drove the car close to 1,000 miles over a year and enjoying the fruits of the labor put into the car, before making the hard decision of letting it leave his collection. Becoming more involved with his vintage Porsche collection with more cars on the way, the Audi Sport Quattro was the outlier in his collection and knew that a Group B collector would enjoy this car in their collection.
Now offered at Canepa, this properly sorted 1985 Audi Sport Quattro is a true piece of legend. Being one of the original 10 cars imported to the U.S. market, with only 3 owners and having a comprehensive mechanical overhaul and cosmetic refreshing, it is the cream of the crop of Sport Quattros. Able to be enjoyed in the way that it was meant to be, this Sport Quattro will reward its next owner in its pure driving experience, direct lineage to Group B rallying, while knowing that this is possibly the finest example in existence today.
About the Sport Quattro:
As a massive manufacturer, Audi has no issue with producing the required 200 street-legal examples in order to participate. Audi would eventually end up producing 214 examples for the road, making them one of the most collectible and most exciting Audis of all time. With its 2.1-liter inline-5 turbocharged engine, 5-speed manual transmission and Audi’s own Quattro all-wheel-drive system, the car was a performance sensation on and off the road. The road car was capable of a 4.9-second 0-60 time, a quick time even in modern times. One of the most obvious identifiers is the shorter wheel base, designed for better turn in during rallying, along with the larger boxed fender flares and front headlights. With its design responsible for countless rally wins, the Audi Sport Quattro is by far the most famous Group B rally racer.

Amsterdam City Centre
A walking tour through Amsterdam Centrum
Walking through the Amsterdam City Centre is like travelling through time. From the early 1500s, when Amsterdam was still a small fishing village, to the Golden Age (1568-1672) and the city’s rise as a world empire, and then the nineteenth and twentieth century, ages of reconstruction and protest. Join us on a tour via the most famous landmarks in the Palace District, hidden treasures and museums. Stop at traditional bars and enjoy the collection of remarkable shops along the way.
A Perfect Walking Route through the Amsterdam City Centre
IJkade
We’ll start the walk through Amsterdam City Centre at the shores of t’IJ, the city’s former harbour where once many hundreds of galleons of the Dutch East India Company were anchored, waiting to trade their cargo in town. The barren northern shores in the east were mostly used to pile wood, grain and coal but today this area is mostly used as industrial festival area NDSM-Werf (with some trendy restaurants and bars). Right in front of us we can see the iconic white building of the Eye Film Institute (designed by Roman Delugan and Elke Delugan-Meissl). Behind that you’ll find the so-called Tolhuistuin – an artistic hotspot with bars, restaurant and regularly changing art expositions. The islands to our right, now boasts the glass façade theatre building of the Muziekgebouw aan t ’IJ as well as an excellent seafood restaurant, Zouthaven, and a huge summer terrace overlooking the IJ-river and the upcoming neighbourhood Amsterdam Noord. The Northern part of town is easily reached; boats leave every ten minutes or so at the back of Central Station.
There was a good chance that the monumental train station of Amsterdam was never built on its current location. Fearing for their trading, business owners heavily protested against the construction of the station island in the old port and thus the closing of the city to the main waterways and the sea. Petrus Cuypers’ design was mostly inspired by the Dutch Middle Ages (he also made the construction plans for the monastery-like Rijksmuseum), which was a long time before the age of the prosperous maritime trade. The newly unveiled giant tiled wall (consisting of 70,000 hand-painted tiles) in the Cuypserspassage though is a fair tribute to Amsterdam’s seafaring past. The fairytale wooden café on the waterfront at the central entrance of the station, once a pleasant waiting area for travellers, now houses a branch of the famous Amsterdam steak restaurant Loetje.
Getting around in Amsterdam is quite easy. Standing in front of Central Station, facing Damrak and at the back Dam Square, one can easily divide the city into the old side (Oudezijds, to the left) and the new side (Nieuwezijds, including the Canal District and Jordaan area, to the right). Also on the right is St. Nicolaaskerk – named after the patron saint of fishermen, children and the city of Amsterdam – a majestic church built in different styles (so as not to offend any religious movement in the city at the end of the nineteenth century). As we walk towards Dam Square, we’ll find café De Heffer at our right (once the place where marketable goods were weighed), and after that Beurs van Berlage (the central location of the Dutch Royal marriage in 2002). Once intended as a showcase of Dutch grandeur, the original draft of the design was rejected because it was supposedly stolen from the architects of the town hall of Rochelle in France. The municipality eventually settled for the industrial drawings by architect Hendrik Petrus Berlage.
The site where the 58-year-old palatial department store De Bijenkorf is situated now originally belonged to the world-famous Beurs van Berlage – the first stock exchange in the world and later the classical building of De Beurs van Zocher. Ever since the building of the dam in the river Amstel over 800 years ago, the square has been the centre of the city. Not surprisingly, citizens of the Dutch Republic (with which the Dutch were again the first in the world) chose this spot as the building site for their magnificent town hall in the 1600s. In 1808, however, the colossus was transformed into the residential Palace for the royal rulers in the Netherlands. The grand church next to the Royal Palace is De Nieuwe Kerk, which is used for national commemorations and major expositions. We’ll stop for a moment at the almost 350-year-old distillery of Wijnand Focking in the (recently) covered Pijlsteeg right across Dam Square, to enjoy a glass of real Dutch gin or another locally distilled specialty.
In the 1500s this narrow street hosted as many as five monasteries. Residents, who were required to make a quick prayer when passing each monastery, nicknamed it ‘the never-ending prayer’. By the nineteenth century, most of the holiness had left Nes; the street became the centre of the capital’s nightlife with many emerging theatres, bars, restaurants and brothels. Bubbles & Wines is known for its immense selection of rare and valuable grape juices and tasty snacks. A must visit is Bridges, a restaurant that prides itself on serving sublime fish dishes in a unique atmosphere.
At the end of Nes, we’ll turn right to end up in the middle of Rokin. After two centuries of stagnation, the nineteenth century was again a period of growth for Amsterdam – thanks mostly to the rise in colonial trade. In those days Rokin served as an elegant boulevard with numerous exclusive department stores and (secret) club houses for the rich and famous. One of the very few remaining businesses is tobacco firm Hajenius (halfway down Rokin), where we can still enjoy homemade cigars in the atmospheric lounge. The grey building on the other side of the canal was built as the headquarters of the Dutch National Bank but now serves as a repository of the university collection of ancient art, the Allard Pierson Museum.
Damstraatjes
Don’t be fooled by the limited width of Oude Hoogstraat; this was once one of the richest passages in town. The powerful Dutch East India Company (VOC) even established its head office here: Het Oost Indisch Huys. The building, and in particular the beautiful courtyard and richly decorated boardroom, are open for visitors. De Waalse Kerk, a church built for Belgian and French religious refugees in 1578, is located further up the road. Be careful not to pass the narrowest house in Europe at Oude Hoogstraat 22 (approximately just 2 metres wide).
Oudekerksplein
As we walk back to the red light district, we pass De Oude Kerk (the old church) on the left of Oudezijdsvoorburgwal, the oldest building in Amsterdam. This imposing late-medieval building now serves as an exhibition space (and is known as the home of World Press Photo). In the presbytery (De Koffieschenkerij), on the waterfront, coffee master Job Oosting serves delicious coffee, tea and homemade cake in the traditional dark-toned room of the building.
Zeedijk
A couple minutes away, we arrive at the beginning of Zeedijk. The wooden building on the left, at number 1, is t’Aepje – one of the oldest existing taverns in town. It is said that a visit to this inn was quite risky because of the lice-infested monkey (donated by a sailor in debt). There is still a Dutch saying that refers to the bar: ‘you’ve stayed at t’ Aepje’ – meaning that you’ve probably come across trouble. A couple of minutes down the road, Zeedijk changes into Amsterdam Chinatown. The tasty specialty Nua Nam Tok, a delicious rib-eye salad with glass noodles and local herbs, is worth the wait at the always-crowded Thai snack bar and restaurant The Bird. At neighbouring four-storey Nua Nam Tok, you can find ingredients, cooking utensils, dishes, teapots and even Asian art. The beautiful, newly constructed He Hua Buddhist temple serves as places of worship for local Chinese.
Nieuwmarkt
Nieuwmarkt, located at the end of Zeedijk, was the scene of heavy protests against the construction of a new subway line in the seventies and eighties. Unfortunately, angry residents and protesters could not prevent part of the late medieval city being demolished. De Waag, in the middle of Nieuwmarkt, built as the Amsterdam City Centre gate in the 1500s and later used as clubhouse for the powerful guilds of Amsterdam, now houses an attractive grand café. Also worth a visit is traditional Amsterdam ‘brown bar’ Cafe Fonteyn to the right. Cafe Bern right behind De Waag is famous for its Swiss cheese fondue and chopped sirloin steak with delicious sauce.
Staalstraat
We now move from Nieuwmarkt to Staalstraat, a recently-blossomed shopping street with many attractive and creative boutiques. Droog offers a variety of dinnerware, lamps, plants and many special gadgets. Neighbouring Papabubble is an authentic candy maker that specializes in candy prepared according to ancient recipes. When we’ve finished shopping, we stop for a beer and a traditional cheese platter in the old drugstore (with a Moorish bust attached to the façade) De Gaeper.
Waterlooplein
Through the Staalmeestersbrug – packed with padlocks left by couples in love (following the example of Pont des Arts in Paris) – we arrive at the Waterlooplein, once the bustling centre of the old Jewish quarter of Amsterdam. Though little is left of the characteristic narrow streets with often dilapidated houses, the Portuguese Israelite Synagogue (one of the first and largest of its kind in Western Europe) remains one of the last landmarks of Jewish culture in Amsterdam. Nowadays, the next door seventeenth-century Great Synagogue and Abbene Shul operate as the Jewish Historical Museum.
The rest of Waterlooplein is now dominated by the modern red brick and white marble colossus of the Stopera (City Hall – Stadhuis and The Dutch National Opera & Ballet House) and the flea market. The flea market is open every day (expect Sunday) and is a must-see for lovers of curios, antiques, unique second-hand clothing and souvenirs. Do save time to visit the Rembrandthuis, the former working space of Rembrandt van Rijn, on Jodenbreestraat (Jewish broadway, parallel to Waterlooplein) which can now be visited as a museum dedicated to etches and drawings of the Dutch master.

DP7788 Conclude Doha: It Matters!
Author(s): Bernard Hoekman, Will Martin, Aaditya Mattoo
Keyword(s): Doha Development Agenda, trade agreements, trade negotiations, WTO
JEL(s): F1, F2, F5
The Doha Round must be concluded not because it will produce dramatic liberalization but because it will create greater security of market access. Its conclusion would strengthen, symbolically and substantively, the WTO?s valuable role in restraining protectionism. What is on the table would constrain the scope for tariff protection in all goods, ban agricultural export subsidies in the industrial countries and sharply reduce the scope for distorting domestic support?by 70 per cent in the EU and 60 per cent in the US. Average farm tariffs that exporters face would fall to 12 per cent (from 14.5 per cent) and the tariffs on exports of manufactures to less than 2.5 per cent (from about 3 per cent). There are also environmental benefits to be captured, in particular disciplining the use of subsidies that encourage over-fishing and lowering tariffs on technologies that can help mitigate global warming. An agreement to facilitate trade by cutting red tape will further expand trade opportunities. Greater market access for the least-developed countries will result from the ?duty free and quota free? proposal and their ability to take advantage of new opportunities will be enhanced by the Doha-related ?aid for trade? initiative. Finally, concluding Doha would create space for multilateral cooperation on critical policy matters that lie outside the Doha Agenda, most urgently the trade policy implications of climate change mitigation.

The Galapagos Islands
Main threats and issues facing the Galapagos Islands
Download this page as PDF or PowerPoint document
Where are the Galapagos Islands
The Galapagos Archipelago forms a group of volcanic islands straddling the equator about 600 miles west of Ecuador
The Galapagos are a province of Ecuador and were declared a national park in 1959
The Galapagos national park and marine reserve are unique and extraordinary ecosystems, recognised by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites
The Galapagos’ population has increased from roughly 3,000 in the 1960s to about 30,000 today
The climate is equatorial, but greatly influenced by the cold Humboldt Current
December to May is the better season when the weather is pleasantly warm, with an average of 28°C/82°F, and the winds are light
The water around the islands is surprisingly cold and the meeting of the Humboldt Current and the warm air sometimes causes mist over the land
Occasionally the Humboldt Current is replaced by the warm El Niño current, a phenomenon that can affect weather conditions in the entire South Pacific – and occasionally its effects are felt throughout the world
In 1835 the islands received their most famous visit, from HMS Beagle and Charles Darwin.
The way different species have evolved in isolation from the rest of the world, was one of the major observations made by Darwin on his visit, which led to his theory of evolution.
Darwin noticed that the finches on the different islands showed wide variations in their size, beaks and claws from island to island. For example, their beaks were different depending on the local food source.
He concluded that, because the islands are so distant from the mainland, the finches that had arrived there in the past had changed over time.
Humans came late to these volcanic islands, so their biodiversity was remarkably well-preserved over the centuries
The islands’ unique wildlife includes many endemic species of both land animals and birds, living amid barren volcanic scenery
(Click on picture to enlarge)
Environmental Challenges
In 2007 the islands were classed by UNESCO as World Heritage in Danger.
Following work by the authorities to regulate the growing human population and tourist numbers, the islands are no longer classed as such. The threats remain real, however.
Burden on resources
Illegal fishing with longlines, catching sharks for their fins only
Growing human resident population
Increasing numbers of visitors
There are now more introduced plants than endemic ones in the Galapagos
Animals introduced by humans, including goats, pigs, dogs, cats and rats, are also a problem
Populations of iconic species such as the Blue-Footed Booby have declined sharply
Plastic debris entangles marine animals or is mistaken for food
‘Ghost’ lines lost from fishing vessels can trap marine creatures
Waste from human populations onshore is not properly managed

Home CITY TRIBUNE The Enchanted Forest at Ballybane Library
The Enchanted Forest at Ballybane Library
Our Reporter
Éadaín Ní Mhadagáin
The Enchanted Forest is a new exhibition of oil paintings on canvas by the artist Éadaín. It will run until Wednesday, July 31, at Ballybane Library, Castlepark Road on Galway City’s east side. Bus route 401 stops just outside. This is the first of a series of exhibitions bringing art by professional artists to a marginalised audience on the east side of the city.
The Enchanted Forest is a collection of oil paintings on canvas. These figurative images depict trees and wooded areas in Donegal and Galway. However, the inclusion of symbols, creatures and characters from Celtic, Christian and classical heritage, suggest presences here beyond the earthly.
Éadaín Ní Mhadagáin was born in Dublin and now lives in Galway where she works as an artist. She studied art in Galway, Dublin and Florence, Italy.
Éadaín held her first solo exhibition in 1991 and since then her work has appeared in many solo and group exhibitions throughout Ireland and abroad. Her most recent solo show, titled Exitus, The Odyssey of a Hare was in The Kenny Gallery, Galway earlier this year.
Her work is to be found in public and private collections in Ireland and abroad.

You Spin Me Right Round Baby – The Lords of Salem review
Witches scream and cackle as they strip themselves bare to the flesh and conspire in acts of ungodly debauchery. Yes The Lords of Salem is a film with witches, not broomstick flying ones, but none the less. Think more along the lines of The Wicker Man or even in some cases The Town that Dreaded Sundown. So if the whole cauldrons and Satanism isn’t your thing, then you may wish to avoid this one. Thankfully old school horror had something that the modern medium is often missing, atmosphere; thankfully this is not one of those films. Nostalgia literally oozes from every interior and into each frame of film. We’re taken for a ride that is also decidedly old school as we get to experience not jumps scares or shock tactics but a legitimate building of tension; as to whether that pays off is up to you and your opinion.
Sherri Moon Zombie – The Lords of Salem
We follow Heidi (Sherri Moon Zombie), a now reformed drug addict working on a late night Howard Stern style radio station. Rob’s other half Sherri is not the best actress in the world and struggles at times to make her character work. That said it’s a horror film of the late night type so I don’t expect little golden midget winning performances here. A vinyl (yes vinyl, not MP3 thank f**k) is sent to her workplace with no information other than it’s for her to check out. After some taunts and jokes from her workmates she takes the record home to give it a spin. After some drinks and late night listening we begin a dark and twisted journey. It’s a crazy ride with abstract visions, uncomfortable locations and even weirder people. That’s about as far as I’m willing to go with story though, as part of the fun is seeing how out of the norm this film really can be, particularly compared to say Rob’s Halloween remakes.
It’s amazing how simple the skewed angle of a shot or the uncomfortable droning of the soundtrack can affect you when you’re not being force fed queues like ‘Jump scare here’ or ‘must kill this person’. It’s refreshing to see a Director move from the completely violent to the abstractly barren. Honestly a lot of the discomfort comes from how long, Rob and cinematographer Brandon Trost (the dude shot Crank, The FP, MacGruber need I say more), choose to hold a shot and when to finally make that decisive cut call. John 5 also provides a score that is more than a little unsettling and gives that extra discomfort that a tale such as Lords requires. That said the sound design in this film is impeccable and really helps add that weight of dread to many scenes.
Rob Zombie has suffered from a mixed bag over the last decade while trying to break from his musical trappings into the world of cinema. Many find his films too odd, or confronting to be seen as a commercial let alone watchable film style. His new one will be no different, as he yet again makes some changes to his formula and just lets the ball roll. Now before you go into the film remember this… it’s not a ten million dollar horror film, this doesn’t have earth shattering scares or effects, but it does have atmosphere in spades and a rather old school appearance. This is a creature of nostalgia as much as it is a tribute. Every frame glows with a sense that Rob’s appreciation for all things John Carpenter (In the Mouth of Madness comes to mind) and Stephen King (specifically The Shining) is the centre piece of this film.

Chk, Chk, Fuck…. Yeah!!!!
I’ve been working on video content for a good year, maybe more now and photographing for close to 10 years. There’s something so tactile and honest feeling about creating with an instrument such as a Camera. The SLR allows the user to perceive a place in the world that we wouldn’t normally think of whether it be Point of View (POV)(internalised or externalised) or possibly an abstract interpretation of perspective. This freedom of choice, combined with the users lust for creation can be a more than potent mix when finger hits shutter. While many reading at this point will be thinking… this is just existential bullshit… and for some of you that could be correct. I just feel strongly that the camera truly is one of the last bastions of human art.
People may love photos and of course I do but have you ever thought what the world would be like without them. If everything were an artists rendering or their interpretation of a scene then we would have a rather skewed perspective of reality. Imagine if the first World War were documented by Van Gogh or even a realist like Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. It would be a strange place to have grown up in. Up until the late 1800’s photography was a heliographic plate with an image essentially scarred into it and not an easily viewable image either.
The invent of film technology and later colour was to be the first and foremost development in the way humans recorded their own history. This was prior to computers and even complex developing techniques so any alterations to the image were out of the question. A photo was a true portrait of what you saw… that’s right you could believe a photo. Sure the lenses weren’t as great and the film stocks were rubbish (mostly during the war years from my understanding) but the idea and ambition were showing in spades. Around this time was also the rise of motion picture cameras and the use of 35mm film.
Flick forward to 2012, we can buy a DSLR that is the size of a standard SLR but has the same features as a stills camera but also can create video works ranging from Music Video to short film. To think that in the space of 100 years we have managed to take two film related mediums, like the stills camera and the motion picture camera, and make it into a hybrid art form that is slowly changing the way we perceive film. Many people will not know it yet but DSLR cameras have already moved from the photographic world to being used as ‘B’ Cameras on full feature film sets. Films such as Captain America, Acts of Valor and many more are starting to use this DSLR technology to recreate the way we view cinema, and in most cases without the audience being aware. Hell you can make a short on an iPhone if you are dedicated enough, with some gear houses making support rigs for mobiles to help stabilise the footage.
With these creations comes the rise of Youtube and various other online video depositories. So many people take for granted the content we can view and how we view it. We are living in possibly the first age where we will be able to, in 10 years time or so, look back and see our world in detail. Not just detail though, we will have comprehensive moving detail. We have personalities, politicians, musicians, regular joes and the guy in the street all posting video and photo content. There are children who’s first steps, big recitals, first kisses etc. have been posted to Youtube and the like. Using Youtube, Instagram and Facebook you could essentially follow the entire life of a child born from 2004 onwards. This would be a first, for the users are now essentially becoming the engineers of their own autobiographical work.
Nothing new has been stated above but I feel it needed to be said. We live in a amazing age, and I’m glad we might be able to look back on it in a way that no generation has before. Many may not see this as a good thing, but I am glad someone in the future can see where we may have gone wrong.
– Col.

Injured Auburn QB Tyler Green to miss spring game
By Kevin McGuireApr 8, 2016, 11:53 AM EDT
All eyes appear to be on John Franklin III this spring at Auburn as he looks to gain an edge in the competition for the starting job over Jeremy Johnson and Sean White. All three will be expected to split reps during Auburn’s spring game on Saturday. One quarterback who will not be competing in the spring game will be Tyler Queen.
The redshirt freshman was injured in a scrimmage last week and it will force him to miss the remainder of Auburn’s spring practices, including the spring game. While he will be out for the rest of the spring, his outlook does not look too inhibiting in the long run.
“I think Tyler’s going to be OK long term,” Auburn offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee said, per Al.com. “He got dinged up in the scrimmage Saturday and fell on his AC (joint.) I don’t expect it to be anything that will require surgery, but he’ll be out for the rest of the spring.”
Queen underwent surgery last September for an UCL injury and was supposed to be limited in the spring anyway.
“I think he was getting better as spring went on. He wasn’t where he wanted to be, but he was getting better. Kind of a run of bad luck for him. It’s a different injury and hopefully not near as severe, but obviously for him, I know he’s disappointed. He was excited to get to play obviously last Saturday and hopefully this Saturday and show he was improving.”
As for the remaining three healthy passing options, Lashlee appears set to give each an equal share of the snaps running the offense.
“You’ll probably see all three of those guys some with each team and fairly even,” Lashlee said. “I haven’t for sure decided, but probably give a guy two series with this squad, two with this squad, rotate them just to try to balance it up and give them equal reps with the ones, equal reps with the twos.”
Auburn’s A-Day is scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday) at 4 pm ET. Coverage of Auburn’s spring game will be aired by SEC Network. Auburn will open the 2016 season at home on September 3 against defending ACC champion and national title runner-up Clemson.

Auburn wins recruiting battle with Tide for dual-threat QB
By Kevin McGuireJun 3, 2015, 2:37 PM EDT
Auburn’s offense scored a nice recruiting victory against in-state Iron Bowl rival Alabama on Wednesday. Woody Barrett of Winter Garden, Florida, has verbally committed to Auburn, which gives Gus Malzahn a four-star dual-threat quarterback to look forward to in 2016. Auburn and Alabama were the finalists in the recruiting process.
Barrett announced his decision Wednesday during a ceremony at his high school, West Orange High School. Barrett is currently rated three stars by Rivals.com, although he receives a four-star ranking from other recruiting services. Barrett missed out on a big recruiting weekend at Auburn due to playing in his school’s spring game (high school spring games are apparently a thing that happens). But Auburn quarterback coach and offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee was on hand to see how he performed. The relationship established with Lashlee through the recruiting process proved to be a deciding factor for Barrett.
“I got a real good vibe,” Barrett said after the visit to Auburn, per Rivals. “The team bond, I saw how the team connected with each other and how the coaches got along. Everybody had one team goal and it was to win another national championship.”
As a junior, Barrett passed for 1,558 yards and 24 touchdowns and rushed for 813 yards and nine touchdowns.
If you are feeling bad for Alabama, don’t. Nick Saban pulled in a four-star quarterback in the Class of 2015 with Blake Barnett.

Auburn’s season-opening QB question may be answered this week
By Kevin McGuireAug 18, 2014, 8:52 AM EDT
Barring any unforeseen developments, Nick Marshall will remain Auburn’s quarterback for the 2014 season as the Tigers look to defend their SEC title and make a push for the College Football Playoff. Marshall, though, will not start Auburn’s season opener against Arkansas due to a marijuana possession citation this offseason. Just who might start in his place for the first game of the season could be determined this week, with the season set to kickoff next week.
The most likely scenario appears to be Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn handing the offense to sophomore Jeremy Johnson, but as previously reported, Marshall is expected to see some playing time in the first game of the year as well. The big question is just how soon Marshall will enter the game. After one series? One quarter? One half?
“Talking to coach I think probably here in the next couple of days we’ll go ahead and decide how we want to handle that,” offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee said Sunday, per Al.com. “We have not made a decision yet, both those guys have repped and had a good fall camp. So, I think probably pretty soon, at least internally, we’ll know how we’re going to handle it and then coach will address that when he’s ready and we’ll have a good plan.”
Over the weekend Johnson sung Marshall’s praises to the media, guaranteeing the Auburn quarterback will win the Heisman Trophy, joining Cam Newton, Bo Jackson and Pat Sullivan in Auburn history. Johnson may get to take advantage of some early playing time in Marshall’s brief absence, but there is certainly no quarterback controversy to be seen on the plains.

Auburn rewarding coaching staff handsomly
The premise is fairly simple. When you take your team to a championship in the SEC and play for a BCS title in your first year on the job, you get a raise. Auburn announced the details for a new contract for head football coach Gus Malzahn and his staff, as well as the contract for new men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl. Malzahn received a two-year extension complete with a raise to $3.85 million in 2014 with a $250,000 raise each year following through 2019.
The details of the new contract for Malzahn were actually announced in December, although the details about the incentives in the contract are new information. According to the contract details shared by Auburn on Friday, Malzahn can earn $300,000 for playing in the national championship game and another $500,000 for winning it. Malzahn will also be due $200,000 for leading the Tigers to any of the top six bowl games.
Malzahn’s staff will also be taken care of quite well by Auburn. Offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee received a raise of $250,000 to up his salary to $600,000 with a two-year extension running through June 2017. Defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson remains the highest-paid assistant coach after receiving a raise of $50,000 to $800,000 with a one-year extension running through June 2017. The rest of the staff saw pay increases as well, which are detailed in this release.
Having the funds to keep a quality coaching staff together is important, especially for a team coming off as successful a season as Auburn is. What this staff does for an encore in 2014 should be quite interesting in a season when a number of SEC programs will be looking for some new leaders on the field.
It should also be noted that earlier this week Alabama made head coach Nick Saban an even wealthier man as well.

West Virginia University students will soon have access to software used in the exploration and production market.
Recently, the Department of Geology and Geography received a suite of GeoGraphix® and GVERSE, a software gift valued at $8.2 million from LMKR, an international petroleum technology company.
The software, which will initially be used by students enrolled in the school’s imperial barrel competition course, is expected to train and prepare students for real-world situations and job opportunities where GeoGraphix and GVERSE are used.
“We truly believe these students will continue to build off a strong foundation for the current geoscience workforce,” Peter Batdorf, LMKR’s senior account executive, said.
“As a result, we are pleased to provide WVU researchers and students with a suite of industry-leading, highly sophisticated tools that optimize the efficiency of petroleum and natural gas exploration and production, giving students an advantage when vying for highly competitive jobs in the oil and gas industry.”
The energy course taught by Tim Carr, chair of the Department of Geology and Geography, will allow students to examine the technical geologic aspects and science of energy as energy needs continue to increase with earth’s growing population.
“We try to expose our students to the data analytics involving the large quantities of geologic and geophysical information required to make technically sound decisions concerning the subsurface,” Carr said. “These decisions can include oil and gas development, location of water resources or environmental remediation.”
The software will be available for faculty and student research as well.

Kyle Turley Says He Had Teammates Who Took 30 Vicodin A Day
Filed to: kyle turleyFiled to: kyle turley
kyle turley
colin cowherd
Former NFL offensive lineman Kyle Turley was a guest on Colin Cowherd's show today, and the two had a semi-heated discussion about the recent lawsuit that was filed against the NFL by eight former players. The suit alleges, among other things, that team doctors willfully and negligently urged players to dope themselves up with unsafe doses of painkillers and other drugs so that they could play through injuries. Turley didn't play in the league much more recently than any of the plaintiffs in the suit, but paints a similar picture of his experience with drugs in the locker room.
Retired Stars File Suit Alleging NFL Doped Them Up Like Race Horses
Some very large piles of shit just hit the fan in the world of the NFL today. Eight former NFL…
Unfortunately for Turley, he had to spend a lot of energy dealing with stupid bullshit, as Cowherd decided to take the predictable, idiotic "Shouldn't the players be taking the responsibility for this?!?" stance. Turley patiently reminded Cowherd that it's not exactly easy to turn down painkillers when you don't have a guaranteed contract and your entire financial well-being depends on your ability to take the field, and that not many people are quick to question the medical advice of licensed doctors.
The clip above is long, but it's worth listening to just for the sobering anecdotes that Turley shares. Among them: He had teammates who took 30 Vicodin pills a day, at least half of his teammates were addicted to painkillers in one way or another, and the Rams medical staff never told him that he was playing with a blown out disc in his back. Just try not to stab out your eardrums when Cowherd starts talking.

Tito on Timbales
Founded by Tina Ramirez in 1970, the New York-based Ballet Hispanico explores, preserves, and expands the passion and theatricality of Latino dance through the work of its company, school, and arts education programs. Under the direction of former company member and Luna Negra founder Eduardo Vilaro since 2009, Ballet Hispanico continues its mission to present a diverse repertory by renowned choreographers from around the world, including Annabelle Lopez Ochoa and Gustavo Ramírez Sansano. Tito on Timbales choreographer William Whitener danced on Broadway and in the companies of Robert Joffrey and Twyla Tharp before serving as artistic director of Les Ballets Jazz de Montreal, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, and Kansas City Ballet. When this work premiered in 1984, New York Times critic Jennifer Dunning wrote, “The strong backs have the look of Spanish dancing; quick, sassy nods have more to do with Puerto Rican New York. Tito on Timbales is the kind of smooth mix of influences for which Ballet Hispanico seems to stand.”

The tireless work of the labourer in cinema. Got back from Bologna on Monday and recorded Anne Billson, our celebrity cat-sitter, for a video essay we’re doing on an undisclosed subject. This is our first real collaboration, though we’ve talked a lot about doing a screenplay together. It’s for Masters of Cinema but that’s all I’m saying.
The following day I recorded a VO for another video essay for another company, Arrow Video, title also undisclosed, and the next day we began editing it.
Today there’s a screening of the graduation films from Edinburgh College of Art — many of which won firsts — so I’ll be at Filmhouse later.
With all this going on, I haven’t had time to watch any films apart from those the video essays deal with, so as you may have noticed, I have nothing to say.
Oh, if you have a Criterion Channel subscriptions, you can watch my two video interviews with the great Angela Allen, who talks about her work with John Huston, Tony Richardson, Roman Polanski and Ken Russell (all of them bad boys). Photographed by my longtime collaborator Jane Scanlan and edited by Stephen C. Horne.

Having been blown away by the new 4K of VERTIGO, I called up Nick Varley of Park Circus, who are releasing it in the UK, for an interview — after all, he’s only over there in Glasgow, that other, darker city. But I learned the hard way that the audio recorder on my phone doesn’t record phone calls, apparently, so I can’t give you any direct quotes. But I learned lots of things of interest…
The first thing I learned is that the restoration is by Universal, not Park Circus. Universal went back to the original Vistavision negative and scanned it at 4K, so what we’re seeing is 100% new. And, since prints formerly would be several stages removed from the negative, via interpositive etc, we’re able to see more than even audiences of the original release could see. Fortunately, in this case, I can attest that this doesn’t show up anything that wasn’t visible before that the filmmakers didn’t mean for us to see. Nick cited the wires suspending the Wicked Witch’s winged monkeys in THE WIZARD OF OZ as a major example of a not-entirely-welcome discovery. The line where Martin Balsam’s makeup ends on his neck in PSYCHO is a less glaring one from Hitchcock’s work.
I asked about the sound — it feels much more authentic than the 1996 job, which threw out the foley tracks and replaced them with modern stereo recordings, so that the gunshots at the opening had a jarringly contemporary quality — the metallic sound of the hammer coming down that you get in DIE HARD, the gratuitous ricochets on bullets being fired into the air. They now just go BLAM! as they should. Nick spoke of the tendency to sometimes want old films to sound and look like new films, a misguided approach I hope is finally going out of fashion.
I asked what Park Circus are up to next, in terms of restorations they’re doing personally. THE APARTMENT just got a 4K restoration, fixing one damaged reel and some problems with the main title. The results played in Cannes, and are different from the Blu-Ray Arrow just released (with a video essay by me). They’re now at work on SOME LIKE IT HOT, which could be very exciting, and next up will be John Huston’s MOULIN ROUGE, for Martin Scorsese’s Film Foundation.
I mentioned meeting the film’s script supervisor, Angela Allen, in Bologna, and it turns out she’s a good friend of Nick’s. We paused briefly to marvel at the life and career she’s had.
The standard problem with MOULIN ROUGE as a 3-strip Technicolor film is that often the film shrinks, and as there are three negatives (red, blue and green), if they shrink at different rates, when you combine them you get the colours out of register, like in a cheaply printed old comic book, with characters and objects acquiring luridly coloured halos around their forms. In the digital age, this problem can be 100% solved, so that’ll be one result of the restoration.
The more unique problem comes from the film’s unique look. Huston loved experimenting with colour (MOBY DICK, REFLECTIONS IN A GOLDEN EYE) and Oswald Morris was doing things with diffusion and the palette to emulate the look of Toulouse-Lautrec’s posters. And there seem to be no original 35mm prints extant to show what the results were supposed to look like. All we have as an authentic guide is the negative, and a 16mm dye-transfer print in Scorsese’s collection, which will be referred to.
It’s going to be exciting! I think in this case, possible the false noses will look falser, but they already look pretty false. The main result will be that a gorgeous looking film that exists only in tatty dupes, will suddenly look many times more gorgeous. Ossie Morris is the man.
Heaven at Either End

Fiona declares these to be cinema’s best sunglasses.
Thursday’s other screenings:
The one film in the John Stahl series we didn’t see was WHEN TOMORROW COMES, which has a cast of our favourite people… we’ll see it post-Bologna and report back.
The Marcello Pagliero season passed me by, except that I wasn’t about to miss LES AMANTS DE BRASMORTS since it was billed as a misty, melancholic drama about the lives of barge workers. It’s my view that you can’t make a bad film on a barge. You may not do it. This one was very fine, apart from a slightly confused happy ending. Barge movies, like films noir, are generally stronger when they turn out bleakly, though even when they don’t, they sort of do, because your lovers’ reconciliation is, after all, being staged on a fucking barge.
Friday started at the more civilized hour of 9.30 am with the stone-cold masterpiece that is LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN, screened in a vintage (sixties) Technicolor print. In sert the words lustrous, lambent and amber into the following paragraph at random. Leon Shamroy’s cinematography didn’t look as intensely-coloured here as it has on home viewings, but the size, the audience response and the atmosphere added to the movie’s power.
That movie filled our whole morning, meaning, for example, that we couldn’t see Boorman’s LEO THE LAST, which also a very beautiful show, with the richest assortment of browns I’ve ever seen. I bet the big-screen experience would have been wonderful, even if the movie itself has problems. It shows why Marcello Mastroianni was never a big star in English-language films.
Then we bumped into Angela Allen, John Huston’s favourite continuity girl, and had lunch with her, where she was fabulously indiscreet. I’d first inveigled my way into her confidence last year, and was thrilled to meet her again. But I won’t dish the dirt. Angela was planning on seeing LIGHTS OUT OF EUROPE, newly restored by MOMA, a 1940 documentary by Herbert Klein, partially shot by a young photographer named Douglas Slocombe. Alas, Slocombe passed away at 104 before he could see this magnificent restoration of his first movie.
We’d been thinking of seeing Rene Clair’s LES DEUX TIMIDES, which has been very well received, but we switched to the Klein film to hang out with Angela, and couldn’t regret it. Extraordinary footage, gather by Slocombe in hazardous conditions — he’d gone to Danzig in 1939 to film conditions, and was there when the Nazis invaded, getting out by the skin of his teeth. Had he not done so, somebody else would have had to shoot IT ALWAYS RAINS ON SUNDAY, KIND HEARTS AND CORONETS, THE SERVANT, THE MUSIC LOVERS and RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK.
The movie screened with Joris Ivens’ LA SEINE A RECONTRE PARIS, scripted by Prevert. I now have to see everything Ivens ever made. I was impressed, let’s say.
Then we saw Bette Davis’ assistant giving an interview and plugging her new book, which we’re told Bette commanded her to write. Well, better write it then. What took you so long? One wouldn’t want Bette’s shade performing a vengeful haunting, would one? Well, maybe just a little.

Fiona ran out of juice at this point and hit the hay, or what passes for hay at our modest pensione. I went on to Buster Keaton’s THE SCARECROW and GO WEST, with music from Neil Brand (piano) and Frank Bockius (percussion, slide whistle et al). While the day’s final show was highly emotional and had a magnificent score, it was this screening that brought a tear to my eye. There’s a lot of discussion about whether GO WEST is chaplinesque sentiment or a parody thereof. I think it’s something different from either — Keaton invites you to laugh sympathetically at his character’s misfortunes, and the whole first act is misfortunes. It’s closer to what Harold Lloyd does with THE FRESHMAN. He doesn’t stop the comedy in order to aim for tears, as Chaplin will (with lightning-fast transitions of tone). When Keaton, bilked of everything he owns, sits down next to a dog, and tentatively pats its head, and the dog turns tail and walks off, we’re meant to laugh, not cry.
The emotional whammy, which had never happened to me on previous screenings, came when Keaton finally makes a friend, Brown Eyes the cow. By playing this moment TRIUMPHANTLY, Brand and Bockius unleashed all the sorrow of the previous scenes which Keaton had suppressed. It took me by surprise, which is always a good way to disarm. I blinked away a manly tear, stinging with sun-block.
Then I was off to the Teatro Communale — pictured — Bologna’s epic opera house — for SEVENTH HEAVEN, likely to remain the highlight of this fest. A great silent movie in a new, Foxphorescent restoration and an orchestra playing Timothy Brock’s new score and a spectacular setting and the company of Meredith Brody and Gary Meyer are a hard combination to beat. I hope to say more about this experience, but right now words fail me, as they must always do when the subject is a Frank Borzage masterpiece.

Shaping the Future of Civilian Crisis Management
28/11/2018 | by Carina Böttcher, Marie Wolf
peacelab.blog, 28.11.2018
Almost unnoticed by the wider public, the EU has taken a landmark decision to make its civilian crisis management more capable, flexible and responsive. However, important commitments in the “Civilian CSDP Compact” remain vague. As a strong supporter of civilian CSDP, Germany should push for further ambitious steps to be made concrete.
After a year of discussions on its future and challenges, EU member states have given their civilian Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) a new push. On 19 November, they decided on a civilian CSDP Compact with 22 commitments to improve on identified shortfalls and gaps. The document is of crucial importance in defining the role of the EU’s civilian crisis management in the coming years and making progress towards fulfilling the EU’s own ambitions, set out in the EU Global Strategy of 2016. Especially in light of the current security environment of the EU, with several large conflicts in its neighbourhood, it is strategically relevant to invest in civilian crisis management.
The Compact entails strong implications for the mandates and conduct of civilian missions. Nevertheless, this does not negate the fact that civilian crisis management is not a priority for all member states and important commitments contained within the Compact remain vague. The Compact’s potential depends on the member states to substantiate its broad political aims in 2019.
Lack of political will prevented common responses
Currently, the EU maintains ten civilian missions in countries including Kosovo, Georgia, Mali, and Somalia. The missions aim to support crisis-ridden partner countries and contribute to stabilization and the prevention of renewed crisis. The missions consist of civilian experts such as judges, police officers and political advisors – mostly sent by member states – who train police officers in the host country, help to build up the judiciary and civil administration and advise on human rights or gender issues.
In recent years, a lack of political will on the part of EU member states has prevented common responses to some pressing challenges faced by these missions. In the past, decisions between the EU 28 to deploy a new mission often required lengthy consultations. Member states disagreed on core functions of the missions or whether and how they should be reoriented to new security challenges such as preventing violent extremism. Generally, missions often lacked the capabilities – mainly specialized experts – needed to carry out the tasks in the field. Missing national legislation and structures made it difficult to recruit personnel on short notice. After deployment, inflexible mandates hampered missions to react to developments in the host countries.
To address these shortfalls, EU member states started an initiative to strengthen civilian CSDP last November, which culminated in the adoption of the Compact. The Compact has three key elements: it gives strategic direction, increases responsiveness and addresses capability gaps.
Strategic, capable, and responsive
On the strategic level, the Council took a clear stand on the question of which tasks civilian CSDP has to perform: the core functions remain policing, rule of law and support to civil administration, supplemented by Security Sector Reform and monitoring tasks. The Council has given priority to these tasks, while adding that civilian CSDP can – along with other EU instruments – also contribute to tackling new security challenges like terrorism, irregular migration, and organized crime.
Swift deployment and adapting missions to conflict developments are a key challenge in crisis management. “Responsiveness” was therefore a buzzword in the discussions around the Compact. Member states have agreed on some tangible results: They want to increase a small pool of experts, which can be deployed within few days, from 30 to 50 personnel (Core Responsiveness Capacity). Moreover, member states want to be able to equip and deploy 200 experts in 30 days. They have agreed to make mission mandates more responsive: Future mandates will open possibilities for missions to react to the local crisis context by scaling staff strength up or down, and adding or removing mission components depending on the developments on the ground. These are steps in the right direction, but precise suggestions as to how to speed up planning and decision-making procedures before deployment are missing.
Capabilities in the form of personnel expertise are the key asset of civilian missions. Member states want to raise the share of seconded experts in the missions to at least 70 percent. This target may stop the trend of steadily decreasing secondments of personnel from member states. They also plan to deploy small pilot project teams to test new tasks in civilian missions, such as experts in countering hybrid threats. These two points show the member states’ willingness to invest in the missions. But apart from this, the Compact falls short of precise plans and targets for how to develop sorely needed capabilities. This task remains completely up to national administrations – so far without commitments on coordination formats, an allocation of which member states provide what, or timelines and liabilities. These decisive questions are left open to be answered by an action plan – to be agreed on in spring 2019 – and 27 individual national implementation plans.
Strengthen broad commitments with substance and work on leftovers
Member states touched upon further important issues in the Compact but missed the opportunity to specify targets and precise proposals: the commitments remain vague on increased harmonization of training, shared conflict analysis, mainstreaming gender and human rights, and better evaluation. They agreed to conduct a review on commitments, but postponed further clarification on the procedure to 2019. This risks delaying delivery on more substantial aspects, such as capabilities, and misses the chance to track progress from the outset.
The Compact has opened the door for almost all important points and ideas that were discussed in the last months. But it can only be seen as a kick-off. It shifts important decisions and negotiations on substantial commitments to an action plan in spring 2019 and national implementation plans which remain completely at the discretion of member states. Postponing these decisions clearly entails the risk that with decreasing attention, sceptical or indifferent member states will retreat from their commitments and the Compact initiative will lose momentum. This is why the political commitments of the Compact need to be urgently strengthened with further substance.
Instead of leaning back, the supporters of a strong civilian CSDP – led by Germany and the Nordic countries – should uphold attention on the issue. They should start to implement the Compact even before the year ends and fill national implementation plans with high ambitions: with concrete commitments on capabilities such as personnel, equipment, training, and funding. Furthermore, they should share intermediate results with other member states to create pull-effects, meaning other member states could be incentivized through ambitious achievements to also make a strong effort. The Compact should be seen as a chance to make civilian crisis management a solid pillar of EU foreign policy capable of reacting to current and future security challenges.

The Wacky, Risky World of DIY Submarines

When marine scientist Shanee Stopnitzky learned that police had hauled her stolen yellow sub out of San Francisco Bay and taken it to an impound lot, she was relieved. Not for the vehicle, but for whoever took it for a joy ride.
“If you don’t know what you’re doing, you can die,” Stopnitzky told Earther.
Stopnitzky knows the risks better than most, having spent the last year immersing herself in the wild west world of DIY submersibles. This past spring, she quit her PhD program at UC Santa Cruz to become captain of two submersibles, and to lead the Berkeley-based Community Subermersibles Project, a 300-strong cooperative of volunteer engineers and fabricators dedicated to upgrading the machines and piloting them at sea.
Fangtooth, a bright yellow 2-person sub with a top-hatch painted to look like Captain America’s shield, was the group’s first acquisition, purchased in March 2018 on six thousand dollar loan. Shortly after its misadventure at the hands of an unknown thief, in June, the group purchased their second submersible, Noctiluca, on a $100,000 loan from a generous individual. Larger and more powerful than Fangtooth, Noctiluca—formerly S-101—is a diesel-electric sub with a storied history, built by the British-based Marlin Submarines in the 1980s and upgraded by amateurs over the years. In the ‘90s, the sub briefly fell into the hands of to anti-whaling activist organization Sea Shepherd, where it acquired its distinctive orca whale paint job. The Community Submersibles Project purchased it from its last owner, U.S. Submarines co-founder Ellis Adams, who’d had it in storage in Florida for the past five years.
Ultimately—once both subs are paid off and upgrades and repairs are completed—Stopnitzky and her crew hope to use them conduct exploratory research in some of the most poorly-studied ocean environments on Earth. Their dream destination? The mysterious Tonga trench in the South Pacific.
“The end goal is for our crew to do our own expeditions,” Stopnitzky said. “I would basically be trying to target areas that have been least studied.”

Virtually every type of locomotion has spawned a hobbyist community, from tinkerers who build their own cars to moonlighting aerospace engineers who fly their own ultra-light aircraft. But somehow, the idea of a homemade sub feels even more unusual and dangerous than taking to the skies in a DIY-plane. Perhaps it’s the fact that most of us will never step into a commercial sub in our lives, or that a great deal of technical training is required to safely explore the deep, from knowing how to operate life support systems to navigating poorly-mapped undersea geology, sometimes in total darkness.
You’ve also got to keep any personal claustrophobia and anxiety about being mere inches away from the crushing pressure of the cold, dark sea in check. In that sense, diving in a sub is more like piloting a spaceship than an aircraft.
“There are endless numbers of hazards” at the bottom of the ocean, John Wiltshire, the director of Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa told Earther. He named just a few, including getting stuck under a ledge, trapped in a cave, or simply becoming so mesmerized with your surroundings you forget to keep an eye out for danger.
Those hazards haven’t deterred a niche community of DIY-ers from trying to explore the ocean on their own, without insurance or the aid of an expensive, certified vehicle. Perhaps the most famous of them is Karl Stanley, a self-taught engineer who turned his passion for DIY subs into a thriving business by skirting US government oversight and offering thrill-seekers the chance for a deep sea dive in one of his homemade subs off the coast of Honduras.
He’s the one who sparked Stopnitzky’s interest in submersibles, after she spent a week last year doing volunteer work at his business in Roatán in exchange for a dive to 2,000 feet.
“I realized it’s actually not out as far out of reach, engineering wise, as I was expecting,” she said. “The systems are often really simple.”
Now, the Community Submersibles Project is in a position to try and prove that. Skilled engineers can volunteer to work on the subs, which need upgrades and repairs. Or, folks can pay a membership fee to become part owner of Noctiluca, with higher tier memberships including a comprehensive submarine training course, after which members are allowed to pilot the sub for any non-commercial purpose, from pelagic pleasure-cruises to filmmaking.
Think of it like a food co-op, but for ocean exploration.
Fangtooth is currently only equipped to dive to about 30 feet for half an hour. Stopnitzky says the group would like to upgrade it to become capable of dives to 120 feet for up to 72 hours, by adding an oxygen-diffusing, CO2-scrubbing life support system. Those upgrades are ongoing, but when the sub will be ready to hit the waves again depends on how quickly the Community Submersibles Project can crowdfund the money needed to finish them.
Noctiluca, meanwhile, already has a life support system and is rated for 72 hours underwater and dives of up to several hundred feet. But the sub’s diesel motor, which gives it the somewhat unusual ability to cruise hundreds of miles along the ocean’s surface, needs repairs, and the batteries that power it during dives need replacing. The sub’s loan also needs to be paid off before it can be used, something the group hopes to accomplish through a mix of crowdfunding, renting it out as a prop, and their membership club.
“It’s mostly financially constrained,” Stopnitzky said. “We have the expertise to make it [the repairs and upgrades] happen right away.”

But while the Community Subermersibles Project may indeed have technical expertise, not everyone’s comfortable with this model of community-led ocean exploration. Industry experts cited safety concerns with subs built and upgraded outside the purview of a shipping classification organization, non-governmental groups that maintain standards for the construction and maintenance of subs.
In the US, certification is necessary for subs to become insured for commercial purposes. While Noctiluca is insured against theft or damage, neither submersible has liability insurance should something go wrong on a dive.
“Strictly speaking I wouldn’t recommend someone go out in a sub like this,” said Bruce Jones, co-founder and President of Triton submarines, where Noctilcua was housed before Stopnitzky and her crew decided to purchase it.
Triton builds a wide array of personal submersibles, geared toward everyone from wealthy thrill-seekers to film crews. Unlike a DIY sub, all of its wares are built to the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) submarine classification standards or to a complementary set of European standards. While certification is, in Jones’ words, “a very arduous process” it ensures every component and life support system is tested and retested before a civilian is allowed to take the vessel out for a spin. Folks in the commercial sub business like to point out that classed civilian subs are, statistically speaking, the safest form of transit in the world.
Most U.S. scientific research also happens in an ABS-certified vessel, according to Wiltshire. He explained that a researcher working with an uncertified vessel won’t get funding from a major U.S. granting organization like the National Science Foundation or the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration. Even if private funds could be procured, most major marine science universities’ dive safety officers wouldn’t let their scientists step aboard a backyard sub.
But while certification and major US research partnerships may be out of reach for a group like Community Submersibles Project, there’s not much stopping them from shipping off to sea when their subs ready to go. As far as safety goes, Stopnitzky emphasized that personal subs have an “excellent safety record” and are typically designed by “very serious engineers.”
“Having a good engineer and skilled fabricators makes for a good submersible, not certification,” she said.
Stopnitzky’s ultimate goal is to travel to parts South Pacific that have seen very little undersea exploration. She’d like to survey biodiversity and study the ecology of the diel migration, a vast daily disaspora of ocean life to the surface at night and back into the ocean’s depths when the sun rises.
She says she’s hoping to start another PhD overseas in a year or two, with a department that’ll support such work.
In theory, the possibilities are as wide as the open ocean, given that we’ve only explored a small percentage of it carefully. And Wiltshire—although he felt homemade subs weren’t necessarily safe—admitted there’s likely no shortage of scientists who’d jump at the opportunity to take one for a spin.
“If you’re willing to provide the sub,” he said, “they’re gonna be lined up down the block.”

I don't know of a better book for total beginners. — A New Bridge Magazine 05/09/2018
Believe me, you won't be disappointed if you're learning to play bridge and this book is your first exposure to the game. Bayone tells us in his introduction that the course outlined in this book is the one taught at Honors Bridge Club in New York City, the largest-ever club in the United States. And it's easy to see why players flock to his club. Each chapter is short, concise, and focused. Bayone begins not with bidding, but with the play of the cards. This is a sensible approach. Players want to pick up the cards, move them about, and see patterns develop. And it's those patterns that Bayone focuses on, teaching players that counting begins by recognizing hand patterns: 4-3-3-3, 4-4-3-2, 5-3-3-2, 5-4-2-2, etc. If someone in your circle wants to learn to play bridge, this is the perfect book for them to learn from. — The Belleville Intelligencer 12/18/2017
Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, "A Taste of Bridge" is an ideal and highly recommended addition to personal and community library Bridge collections. — MidWest Book Review 11/20/2017
Tested for more than 30 years by Honors Bridge Club in New York City (the largest in North America), this set of beginner bridge lessons is exceptional and has been termed “a new approach.” The 215-page softcover book, published by Master Point Press, announces that bridge is “a taste of Haagen Dazs (or Ben & Jerry’s) ice cream; a taste of the good life, a taste of Heaven, a taste of your own medicine … I would hope that somewhere, early on, you’d begin to be awed at bridge’s beauty and logic. It’s a winning combination.” There are 28 chapters, each designed to be read in one sitting of less than an hour. Bayone warns that at the end you should be about as proficient as if you’d spent that amount of time learning Chinese or tennis. The last chapter contains 12 of Bayone’s favorite teaching hands. They are gems! The book’s diagrams are carefully laid out and often there are pictures of single hands or diagrams of all four. I love the gray sidebar boxes with large question marks and then a written-out question, such as “Which of these two suits has more potential?” (The suits given are A K 8 2 opposite Q 5 4 vs. AK432 opposite Q 5.) Basic bridge rules (such as “When you have two five-card suits, open the higherranking one first”) are highlighted and carefully explained in detail. It is refreshing to this writer to have the author say, “With two four-card minors either 1♣ or 1♦ is acceptable.” — Dee Berry, American Bridge Teachers' Association Quarterly 10/13/2017
There are plenty of bridge books on the market which largely discuss strategy and playing approaches for those who already have the basics of the game well in hand; but A Taste of Bridge is different, appealing to the bare-bones newcomer with no prior familiarity with the game. What sets this apart from other introductions is its process of synthesizing bridge into six easy lessons, which were developed and tested on thousands of students at the nation's largest bridge club. From this, potential players should discern that their first venture into the world of bridge will be easier than with other guides. Unlike competitors, it's a beginner's course that has been "tinkered with, kicked around, and field-tested for over thirty years. It has introduced thousands to the game. The course is fun and it works!" The key word in this description (and in A Taste of Bridge) is 'fun,' and this is emphasized throughout the course, which opens with a quick reminiscence of playing a childhood card game called War, a "game of tricks" much like bridge. As basic terminology is explained, formal and informal methods of picking partners reviewed, and bridge 'tricks' covered, readers enjoy black and white images peppered into a lively discussion of the game's objectives and intricacies: "Look at the cards again. Couldn't you have guessed right away that South would win the trick, simply because she happened to hold the highest card? Yes, but it isn't just South who wins. North wins as well, because North and South are partners." As simple terminology and the basics of the game evolve into more complex topics, readers are treated to vigorous discussions that clarify the underlying meaning and fun routines of bridge. Plenty of introductions and advanced strategy guides to bridge are on the market; but if new players seek an energetic survey designed to add fun into the game, then there's no better introduction to turn to than A Taste of Bridge, which offers fine insights in an accessible, entertaining manner. — D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review 09/06/2017

Registered MSMEs Hit 41.5m in 2017 – NBS
L-R, Lady Azuka Azinge, Acting Registrar-General, CAC, Statistician-General, NBS, Dr Yemi Kale, D-G SMEDAN, Dr Umaru-Dikko Radda and Board Member of SMEDAN, Mr Orimadegun Agboade at the Public Presentation of 2017 NBS-SMEDAN and National Survey of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSMEs), held in Lagos
About 41.5 million Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises(MSMEs) were registered in 2017, the Statistician-General of the Federation, National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Dr Yemi Kale has said.
Kale made this known during the Public Presentation of the 2017 NBS-SMEDAN Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) and National Survey of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSMEs), held in Lagos on Thursday.
He said that Lagos State had the highest number of enterprises across all classes,
while Katsina had 36.4 per cent, Rivers 21.7 per cent and Kaduna 18.1 per cent.
“The five major sector of the economy were wholesale/Retail trade representing 42.3 per cent, Agriculture 20.9 per cent, other services 13.1 per cent, Manufacturing 9.0 per cent, and Accommodation and Food Services 5.7 per cent, together these account for about 91.0 per cent of all MSMEs.
“A total of 86.8 males were dominant in agriculture, while 86.8 female dominance was instead observed in accommodation and food services, 68.7 per cent recorded in manufacturing, 64.5 per cent on wholesale/retail trade.
“With regards to ownership status, Sole Partnership predominated at 97.1 per cent followed by partnerships of 2.2 per cent.”
He explained that MSMEs played significant roles as engine of socio-economic
transformation, including industrialisation of many economies globally.
Kale said that MSMEs presented a vital platform for boosting technical, technological and entrepreneurial capacities among critical segments of the populace.
He further said that MSMEs also offered opportunities to drive jobs and wealth creation as well as income re-distribution within the society.
He said that in Nigeria, MSMEs had performed below expectations due to a combination of problems which includes off-mentioned infrastructure deficit and frequent public policy changes and somersaults.
Kale said that there had been serious efforts by both the Federal and State Governments to develop the MSMEs sub-sector.
He said that the efforts included the adoption of the erstwhile National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS) of a private sector-led economic development approach with MSMEs development as a central strategy in 2003.
In his keynote addres, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Industry Trade and Investment, Mr Edet Akpan said “it became public knowledge that the total number of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in the country was about 18 million. These also employed a total of 32 million persons as at December 2010.”
“On the heels of the national economy re-basing, the number of enterprise surged at the next edition of the Survey in 2013, with more than 37 million, with complementary employment contribution of 59 million persons.
“Such indices as the contribution of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises to GDP exports as well as their distribution across major economic sectors and sub-national units also emerged, not forgetting identification of challenges faced by the sub-sector.
“The 3rd edition of the Survey presented today, provides an update on important indices on the sub-sector. Two chapters have been devoted to data analyses to optimise the information available and to make it easier to the reading public to obtain copies.
“You may recall that this was part of the highlights of the National Survey of MSMEs Report presented by the Statistician-General, National Bureau of Statistics,” Akpan said.
In his welcome address, Director-General Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN), Dr Umaru-Dikko Radda, said since 2010 when the National Serve of MSMEs was first published which had become an invaluable compedium on the state of the MSMEs sub-sector in Nigeria.
Radda said that the strategic partnership between SMEDAN and NBS was an example of the synergies that he had always advocated since he assumed office as director-general of SMEDAN.
“Setting up of SMEDAN in 2003, was Government’s major response to tacking the problem of MSMEs sub-sector of the Nigerian economy, SMEDAN assumed the twin role of coordination and facilitation as the apex agency for MSMEs development among others.

It was an important milestone in the EU-Armenia relations as it was the first high-level visit by the European Commission to the country since the new Government took office. During her working visit, the Deputy Director-General gave with a press conference and answered different questions on important issues: ‘We are very much looking forward to supporting the implementation of EU-Armenia Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement (CEPA). We are also very excited about the direction the new Government has outlined in its reform plan and we stand ready to support the Government, civil society and the citizens in this new direction with the means we have available. The timing of this visit is very fortuitous as the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, was in Brussels last week for the NATO Summit and held meetings with the EU officials. I thought this would be on occasion to continue the discussions with the Government’.

Italy – Marsa Alam Direct Flights to Start Operating in April
Source: EX-YU Aviation News
According to Italian news agency Di Viaggi, regular flights from Rome and Naples will be heading to the coastal city of Marsa Alam starting April 1.
It is expected that the summer period will see 22 weekly flights between both Egypt and Italy, rendering the latter the first European market of reference, surpassing Germany in the number of tourist trips.
Three new routes will be run by AirCairo: Bergamo-Sharm El Sheikh by March 31st and Rome and Naples to Marsa Alam at the beginning of April.
The flights will be run by AirCairo which is a low fare airline based in Cairo founded in 2013 and which is 60 percent owned by EgyptAir.
From November 2017 to December 2018, the Egyptian carrier flew about 1.6 million total passengers with 120 thousand being from Italy. This number is expected to increase by 20 percent in the summer season.
The airline announced its expansion plans in Rome following steady increase of routes from major Italian cities (Milan Malpensa, Bergamo, Venice, Bologna, Rome, Naples and Bari) to the more touristy Egyptian destinations (from Sharm to Marsa Alam to Hurgada and Borg El Arab) since October 2017.
The Air Cairo expansion plan – which currently serves 40 destinations between scheduled and charter flights – will see the inclusion of three other aircrafts into the fleet by 2020, thus reaching 14 available airplanes.
With the new flights departing between the end of March and the first of April, therefore, the Air Cairo network is set up, with regard to Northern Italy with three flights from Milan Malpensa (Borg El Arab and Sharm El Sheikh three times a week, Marsa Alam two), a flight from Venice to Sharm operated every Friday, one from Bergamo to Sharm operated twice a week and the route from Bologna – always to the Red Sea – operating every Sunday and Thursday.

From Rome, the flight to Marsa Alam will be operated every Monday, while for Sharm El Sheikh, Air Cairo will operate two weekly trips (every Monday and Thursday). As for the South, finally, the Bari-Sharm route will be operated every Monday, while the great successful number of trips from Naples last year allows as many as four weekly trips to Sharm, in addition to the weekly flight to Marsa Alam which will start on March 1st.
Di Viaggi stated that in 2018, Egypt recorded 11,346,389 international tourists, while the Italians comprised 421,992 rendering them the fourth ranking in number from European tourists.
Egypt’s economy relies heavily on tourism. While many visit cities such as Alexandria, Cairo, Luxor and Aswan for cultural and archeological tourism, many solely travel for leisure tourism at Egypt’s coastal cities such as Hurghada, Marsa Alam and Sharm El Sheikh.

Giving new life to old tires
When we think of the impact cars have on the environment, we often consider the gas they guzzle and the emissions they create. But these modern forms of transportation also produce another environmental toll: old tires.
“Scrap tires are thrown all over the corners of our country, and there are people who burn them in order to extract steel,” says Dagim Asrat. “One small tire releases so many chemicals when it burns, and that pollutes the waterways and the air.” Through his social innovation, Prime Recycling, Dagim is making sure tires from all modes of transportation are given a second life.
Prime Recycling is Ethiopia’s first tire recycling company. Using a technology called pyrolysis, discarded tires are transformed into raw materials such as crude oil. Pyrolysis is the act of heating something in an oxygen-free chamber until it breaks down into its original form. The crude oil can be processed to make diesel fuel, which will be used to power Prime Recycling’s machines. You can further refine the diesel to produce carbon black powder which is a component of paints, steel ware, plastics, and rubber.
Studying to be a public health officer at Hawassa University in southern Ethiopia, Dagim’s journey to entrepreneurship began when he heard about a social innovation competition DOT Ethiopia was running on International Youth Day. That was when he began trying to find an innovative idea that would help society. “My observations showed many people were engaged in recycling waste, but not tires or plastics,” he says. “The unique thing about tire recycling is that you do not need to import other chemicals to break it down, which is good because they are hard to find in our country.”
““My observations showed many people were engaged in recycling waste, but not tires or plastics,” says Dagim. “The unique thing about tire recycling is that you do not need to import other chemicals to break it down, which is good because they are hard to find in our country.””
Coming across the idea of tire pyrolysis on the internet, Dagim entered the three-month DOT impactathon to learn the startup and business planning skills needed to start Prime Recycling. “Without any question, DOT helped me and my friends equally. There were always DOT people who supported us and were willing to see our perspective, whether we won the competition or not,” he says.
And win Dagim did — the regional competition and then the national one. “The most well-known entrepreneurs in Ethiopia were at the national competition. They told me to go with the idea and even wanted a share in the business,” Dagim says of his winning. “Even my father agreed to invest some of his savings!”
“The most well-known entrepreneurs in Ethiopia were at the national competition. They told me to go with the idea and even wanted a share in the business.”
The next steps happened very quickly. Dagim was welcomed by government officials and was given land south of the capital city, Addis Ababa, to construct his recycling plant. A few weeks later he was off to China on official invitation from companies that were interested in producing his tire pyrolysis machine. By the end of the trip, Dagim had a custom machine designed, and it is currently making its five-month-long shipping journey from China to Ethiopia.
Aspirations for employment and East Africa
With the machine secured, Prime Recycling is well on its way to operation. In addition to being given the land for his factory, Dagim is in the midst of doing the paperwork to certify the business as eco-friendly and pollution-free — it will be powered solely on the crude oil produced in the tire pyrolysis process.
Dagim says he is hoping to launch the factory in May 2019 and employ 800 people within the first year. The factory will recycle an estimated 10 tons of waste per day — about 1,100 tires.
“We are also organizing small enterprises for women in 23 regions so they can collect the discarded tires as an association,” Dagim explains, adding that training will happen while they wait for the machine to be delivered.
Once operational, steel factories are Dagim’s target market for his recycled crude oil. In Ethiopia, steel companies are not allowed to use electricity to run and rely on overly-expensive crude oil or imported charcoal, both of which are harmful to the environment. According to Dagim, a number of steel companies have already committed to buying Prime Recycling’s crude oil. If the projections in his business plan are correct, the business is expected to break even in six to eight months.
“Our products are very cheap since they are recycled. That means everything we will produce is marginally cheaper than the existing market,” Dagim says of the crude oil and other products. “People’s awareness is increasing around recycling, and that is helping our marketing. In the next 10 years, we want to become a leading waste tire processor in Ethiopia and Europe, and launch in other parts of East Africa.”
At DOT we’re excited to bring you inspiring stories that highlight the impact of daring young social entrepreneurs. Social entrepreneurship and social innovation is an ongoing journey, so we invite you to follow along with Dagim by following him on Twitter @Dagim_abu .
This #DOTYouth Spotlight was developed as a part of DOT’s 2018 Unconference in Nairobi, Kenya, supported by the Government of Canada through Global Affairs Canada.
