It’s about aliens in 1950s L.A. with the first digital edition of the multiple-award winning ATOMIC AGE. It’s about surreal sensibilities and imaginative neo-noir taking place in L.P. DANIELS’ SPLIT CITY. It’s about teenage friends and an alien war in DESIGNATED. And it’s about a man lost in space-time, trying to get home to his family, while learning that a supervillain may be Earth’s savior in the epic, superhero series PHAZER. A Daze Work follows Finch and Barry, friends who work at a pizza place on the Jersey Shore while trying to find their place in the world. Each month, they and a cast of characters try to keep The Plus alive, while wacky customers and money problems threaten to derail their plans.

Vampires vs. Nazis, by creators Mariano Nicieza, Rachael Platt and Carl Maiorino, scriptwriter Frank Lovece and artists Jeff Slemons and Murphey, is a gritty take on World War II, where Nazi predators become the prey of a mysterious assailant with supernatural powers. A horror-filled ride with a twist ending no one will see coming, this project will be bleeding your way soon! Atomic Age, originally from Marvel’s Epic Comics imprint, follows an alien slave-catcher with a conscience, seeking to prevent fugitive slaves from committing race-wide “geneticide.” In 1950s L.A., an amibitous Latino journalist warily teams with a washed-up career military man to exploit this alien find. Created by writer Frank Lovece and penciler Mike Okamoto, it won the latter the San Diego Comic-Con’s Russ Manning Most Promising Newcomer Award, while the legendary Al Williamson won that year’s Eisner Award for Best Inker.

With action-packed stories of divorce, suicide, murder heartbreak, deception and greed, it’s a sly, postmodernist film noir with a pulp-fiction tone. Coming soon! Designated, by writer-creator Mark Torres and artists including Eric Vincent, focuses on a group of ordinary teens and tweens, who find themselves given gifts that could tip the balance between two alien races at war on Earth. Coming soon! Phazer Universe is the umbrella title for Mariano Nicieza’s four new superhero-adventure titles: Agent Three Zero, Blackray, Blue Sultan, and the flagship, Phazer. When a sabotaged government experiment propels scientist Mark Moreno through time and space, he finds himself manifesting a different superpower each time he materializes. Wanting only to return to Earth and his family, he finds himself pursued by the monstrous alien Krauhzz — and that the “lab accident” precipitating his plight was not accidental. In a generations-spanning story of family secrets and lies, Mark Moreno — Phazer — becomes the crucial cog in the supervillain Blue Sultan’s effort to save Earth from alien invaders … by any means necessary, no matter who gets sacrificed. Phazer available now!

The judgement was based primarily on fabricated evidence, fake witnesses and contradictory statements by the police. How can ‘rajdroh’ or rebelling against the monarch be a crime in a democracy? Dr Binayak Sen's Statement to the Court I am a trained medical doctor with a specialization in child health. I completed my MBBS from the Christian Medical College, Vellore in 1972, and completed studies leading to the award of the degree of MD (Paediatrics) of the Madras University, from the same institution in 1976. After this, I joined the faculty of the Centre for Social Medicine and Community Health at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi and worked there for two years, before leaving to join a field based health programme at the Friends Rural Centre, Rasulia in Hoshangabad, MP. During the two years I worked there, I worked intensively in the diagnosis and treatment of Tuberculosis and understood many of the social and economic causes of disease. I was also strongly influenced by the work of Marjorie Sykes, the biographer of Mahatma Gandhi, who lived at the Rasulia centre at that time.

LET US UNITEDLY FIGHT TO REPEAL ALL FASCIST DRACONIAN LAWS INCLUDING UAPA AND THE CHHATTISGARH SPECIAL PUBLIC SECURITY ACT! The Committee for the Release of Political Prisoners (CRPP) condemns unequivocally the murder of justice in the case of Dr. Binayak Sen, a people’s doctor and one of the first civil libertarians to expose the state sponsored Salwa Judum that was undertaken by the BJP government on the tribal people in Chhattisgarh and ably supported by the Congress which is the opposition party in the state. Court sentences Binayak Sen to life in prison By Sujeet Kumar - RAIPUR \| Fri Dec 24, 2010 (Reuters) - A court sentenced a doctor accused of links with Maoist rebels to life in prison on Friday, a high-profile case involving appeals by Nobel laureates for the world's biggest democracy to uphold human rights. Binayak Sen, 60, was arrested in 2007 in Raipur, capital of Chhattisgarh on accusations he passed on notes from an imprisoned Maoist leader he was treating. Sen denies any wrongdoing. WikiLeaks cables: India accused of systematic use of torture in Kashmir Beatings and electric shocks inflicted on hundreds of civilians detained in Kashmir, US diplomats in Delhi told by ICRC US officials had evidence of widespread torture by Indian police and security forces and were secretly briefed by Red Cross staff about the systematic abuse of detainees in Kashmir, according to leaked diplomatic cables released tonight. The dispatches, obtained by website WikiLeaks, reveal that US diplomats in Delhi were briefed in 2005 by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) about the use of electrocution, beatings and sexual humiliation against hundreds of detainees. BJP seeks Israel help against Naxals Indian Express news service - Thu Dec 16 2010 - New Delhi: BJP president Nitin Gadkari, who is leading a party delegation to Israel, has said the Israeli homeland security services could explore ways to cooperate with NDA-led state governments facing Maoist menace. Gadkari — who is accompanied by senior BJP leaders, including Vasundhara Raje and Ramlal among others — made this suggestion to the Israeli agencies after a presentation was made to the visiting delegation.

Immediately Produce Ranajit Dasgupta aka “Subhas” aka “Bhai”, a resident of Ushumpur, North 24-Parganas, West Bengal before court! Written by www.icawpi.or 06.12.2010. It is increasingly becoming a pattern on the side of the police and other investigating agencies to keep political dissidents under illegal custody for several days and show a fudged date of arrest as and when they are produced before the court. These days of illegal custody are conveniently used to act with impunity by the ‘law enforcers’ flouting all norms and procedures that to some extent can protect the detained from brutal, inhuman torture of all kinds. Thus illegal confinement is increasingly become a tool in the hands of the state to indulge in torture and in many a case also endanger the life of the detained as is evident in cases of political dissidents including the Maoists from the state of Andhra Pradesh. The West Bengal police are no exception when it comes to acting with impunity. The most recent case is the abduction of political dissidents such as the Maoists, keeping them under detention illegally without producing them in court within 24 hours of arrest by trampling underfoot all constitutional norms. The cases in mention are those of the Maoist leaders Sudip Chongdar aka “Kanchan”, reported to be the West Bengal State Committee Secretary of the CPI(Maoist), Barun Sur aka “Bidyut”, secretary of Bhagirathi Teesta Regional Committee, Anil Ghosh aka “Ajoyda” and Kalpana Maity aka “Anu” ICAWPI.org	cc/2022-05/en_middle_0074.json.gz/line22
__label__cc	0.51352	0.48648	Founded by Evangelist Dianna Hobbs, Empowering Everyday Women Ministries, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. It is a Christian urban evangelism ministry that has blossomed into an influential faith-based ministry, touching lives around the globe. Our leadership and staff spearhead community organizing efforts and charitable initiatives to help the grossly under-served African-American population in inner cities, and those in need around the world. Connect with Dianna Daily Cup of Inspiration GO Listen to her podcast GO COPYRIGHT 2017. EMPOWERING EVERYDAY WOMEN MINISTRIES, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Note: Evangelist Hobbs received a miraculous healing at this prayer service! To God be the glory. Read the full story and see the videos here. ORIGINAL ARTICLE STARTS BELOW The team at Empowering Everyday Women Ministries is grateful for Minister Wynetta Hall-McElveen and Lady Bertha Brinson for their assistance in rallying the saints to pray as our leader has been attacked in her body with illnesses doctors say are incurable. And yet, we believe God. Evangelist Dianna Hobbs has hit a rough patch in her health. After receiving a grim Glaucoma diagnosis in 2016, with ophthalmologists saying she would be blind within five years, she is facing a new challenge. The award-winning Christian media specialist has been diagnosed with two conditions specialists say are incurable— an autoimmune disease called Rheumatoid Arthritis and a chronic rheumatic condition known as Fibromyalgia. Unlike the most common form of arthritis that comes from wear and tear on the body, as well as age, Rheumatoid Arthritis causes white blood cells to mistake healthy cells for foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses. Essentially, the body attacks itself, leading to destructive results. Hobbs, 40, also tested positive for a high level of “The Rheumatoid Factor,” a bad protein in her blood, making the Christian media specialist’s disease more aggressive. While the disease impacts everyone differently, in Hobbs’ case, her weakened condition has been compounded by inflammation, intense bouts of cardiac trouble, respiratory issues, bowel complications, and dangerously high blood pressure spikes. Specialists are currently working to resolve these issues. But we know the Chief Specialist, whose name is Jesus Christ, has all power and authority in His hands to heal. On top of the Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hobbs’ Fibromyalgia causes widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. The combination of the individually painful diseases has taken an even greater toll on her body. “We thank God for the dedicated team of doctors and nurses, and their expertise, and treatments,” said Hobbs in a statement sent through her publicist, Amy Bertinelli. “Yet, we ultimately trust in God’s sovereignty and we believe the report of the Lord. And His report says ‘By His stripes, I am healed.’” “It has been hard seeing Dianna go through something so tough,” said Mr. Kenya Hobbs, who has spent multiple days and nights at his wife’s bedside, both at home and in the hospital. He has acted as Hobbs’ primary caregiver during this ongoing series of medical emergencies, causing flare-ups of difficult-to-manage symptoms. Mr. Hobbs, a community organizer and ordained minister, who wed the Empowering Everyday Women Ministries, Inc. Founder in 1998, is the father of the couple’s four children. Though Mr. Hobbs admits the situation has been difficult, there is something that has helped a lot: The genuine love and concern coming from family, friends, colleagues and the global faith community of ministry supporters. “The prayers, visits, calls, texts, thoughtful emails, cards and gifts have meant the world to our family. Thank you so much. And please keep the prayers coming our way,” he said. If you feel led to give today, you are welcome to do so. Just click here. Months ago, doctors suspected cancer was the cause of the best-selling author and abstinence advocate’s pain, leaving her severely bruised all over her body, unable to walk and barely able to eat. However, after extensive testing and procedures, back-to-back Emergency Room visits, hospitalizations and specialist consultations, the real answers finally emerged. “Her medical team did find a tumor,” explained Mr. Hobbs. “But by the grace of God, surgeons removed it and came back with a pathology report saying no cancer. It took a long time for specialists to uncover the actual issue and we are thankful to really know what’s going on.” Hobbs, a Top 100 blogger, named one of the “70 Most Influential African-American Christian History Makers” by Black Christian News Network, is facing an uphill battle. Nevertheless, though weak and afflicted in body, she remains strong in faith and full of hope. “We don’t know when God is going to complete the work of healing in my body, but the same faith I share with others on my good days, I cling to on my worst days, even sometimes with tears streaming down my face and the inability to get up out of bed,” said Hobbs. Since last September, until very recently, the well-loved inspirational writer, teacher and encourager of women has been absent from social media, where she typically posts multiple daily inspirations to encourage her thousands of followers. Hobbs’ administrative staff also canceled all engagements, as her top-rated podcast and popular “Daily Cup of Inspiration” blog remains dormant. “Dianna isn’t yet strong or well enough to resume her hectic schedule and ministry obligations,” said Bertinelli. “But I can tell you that she believes the message of hope in Jesus Christ she shares around the world and is anticipating that her own test will become a testimony in due time,” the publicist stated. Despite all she's been through and what medical professionals have said, faith-filled saints, both women and men from everywhere, are gathering Sunday, March 26, 2017 for “50 Women Praying: An Evening of Jubilee!” in expectation of a miraculous turnaround in her health. We declare that we will not be defeated and we will not bow down to sickness or any other attack of the enemy. That's why we are inviting as many as will come to war with us in the spirit, and believe God to raise Evangelist Hobbs up. We know He can do a mighty work and not just make her stronger, but heal her completely of these ailments. We are standing in faith that the Lord will defy doctors and specialists, and show off His healing power in Evangelist Hobbs' life. Won't you join us? Here's how.	cc/2022-05/en_middle_0074.json.gz/line23

The 22-year-old German native of Bad Oldesloe is also probably the most Goergeous woman currently bouncing around the WTA circuit - a statuesque 6-footer with slender long legs and - an anomaly in the women's game (outside of Serena Williams, Nicole Vaidosova, Caroline Wozniacki and perhaps handful of others) - a curvaceous female athlete actually built like a woman: that is to say, she has a rack! (Think about it: when's the last time you saw a top female tennis player that actually needed to wear a sports bra? I have a short list of candidates - see "The All England Rack-It Club" - but only a scant few are also top-heavy in the WTA rankings.) Facially, she reminds me of a cross between actresses Jill Hennessy and Sandra Bullock. And on April 24th, this 32nd-ranked outsider "stunned" world No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 in the Stuttgart WTA claycourt final to win her first title of the year in front of an ecstatic home crowd. I put "stunned" in quotes because, cute and loveable and media-friendly as the Dane darling is, I've always seen her as a pretender and not a true contender for the throne of women's tennis - she's a counterpuncher who's pretty good in all aspects of the game without any one go-to weapon in her arsenal that's a knockout punch. And she's still never won a Grand Slam event. (I rest my case.) Now, Julia Goerges has a similar all-around game, and is not exactly fleet of foot (she's carrying around that extra real estate uptown, after all), but at 6-feet tall, her kick-serve is a force to be reckoned with. Let's hope she carries on her current excellent form to even bigger accomplishments as the 2011 French Open (where Julia lost to Serena Williams in the second round last year) nears!

Too soft to be self-governing: Ruth Marcus' column in Sunday's Washington Post hit almost every basic point. At first, the column seemed a bit soft in the head. Hard-copy headline included, Marcus started like this: MARCUS (9/20/20): Ramming through a replacement would be a disaster There must not be confirmation of a successor to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg before the election; indeed, before the inauguration of the next president. Ramming through a nomination at this late date would tear the country even further apart than it already is. It would destroy what is left of the Senate’s ability to operate in a bipartisan way. It would be terrible for the Supreme Court. To our ear, that sounded almost inanely naive. There must not be a quick confirmation? Donald J. Trump, our disabled commander, shouldn't try to ram one though? That sounded inanely naive. Why would anyone think that Donald J. Trump, with votes from at least fifty of the 53 Republican senators, wouldn't try to ram a nomination through? Why would anyone even imagine that this wasn't going to happen? Will Trump end up getting those fifty votes? We can't necessarily tell you. However, we can tell you this: Given the situation which now exists, three Republican senators could vote their consciences (or could be allowed to say they're doing so) and the commander's vice president would proudly cast the deciding vote in a 50-50 Senate. In this way, a president who lost the 2016 popular vote by a substantial margin would decide the makeup of Supreme Court for the next many years. Having lost the popular vote, he would ram this lifetime appointment though on the basis of a tie vote! A one-term president who lost the popular vote would have selected one-third of the Court, which has long since become a political branch of the government. Is that what's going to happen? There's no way to know for sure. That said, an even worse disaster lurks as a result of this sudden, though actually not-so-sudden, turn of events: With this less than sudden turn of events, the whole landscape of the presidential election has likely undergone a change. Before this not-so-sudden turn of events, we would have spent the next six weeks discussing the commander's crazy behavior with respect to the coronavirus. It's even possible that our major journalists—or even Candidate Biden himself!—would have stumbled upon gruesome data like those shown below. It's possible that the public would have had a chance to think about what these astounding statistics might possibly seem to suggest: Deaths from Covid-19, September 10-16: United States: 6,258 Germany: 30 Canada: 35 United Kingdom: 78 Japan: 68 Shall we adjust for population? Germany is about one-fourth our size; Japan is more than one-third. In short, our floundering nation's ongoing death rate represents an astonishing failure to bring the virus to heel. Before the recent (not so) sudden event, it's possible that American voters would have had an opportunity to learn about those numbers. They might have had a chance to think about the commander's performance in light of numbers like those. That said, our vastly incompetent media stars hail from Harvard, Columbia, Yale. For that and various other reasons, the odds are good that they wouldn't have emerged from wardrobe, makeup and hair long enough to become aware of those astonishing data. (Or from the "showmanship" lessons Chris Hayes described in 2013, soon after he was made a nightly cable news performer/entertainer.) In all likelihood, the electorate would never have seen those numbers. For many years, with respect to quite a few major topics, this is the way our failing nation's reindeer games have been played. Still, the commander's lunatic handling of the virus would have been center stage for the next six weeks. Now, the commander will get to fight a different battle—a battle he's likely to win! The conversation will turn to that; there will be no astonishing data for the public to ponder. Not-so-suddenly, we're facing a very different election, one our disordered commander-in-chief may be more likely to win, at least in the Electoral College. The election may not unfold that way, but it certainly could. And this remarkable shift will have emerged from a sudden turn of events which actually wasn't real sudden. As yesterday's column continued, Marcus quickly stopped sounding soft in the head. She cited almost every basic point which exists at this stage of play. (In our view, the one major point she failed to cite is the way the election's central topic has now suddenly changed.) Marcus hit almost all major points. She even mentioned the point we highlight below—but not without apologizing for having said the thing we've all been told not to say: MARCUS: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed,” Ginsburg told her granddaughter in a note dictated just before her death. Here, with some hesitation, I must pause to observe that this catastrophe could have been averted by Ginsburg herself. The justice chose not to retire before the end of President Barack Obama’s second term and bristled at suggestions that she ought to do so, in case. As it turned out, Ginsburg’s bet that Hillary Clinton would be elected, and that her successor could be named by the first female president, was disastrously wrong. "With some hesitation," Marcus said that Justice Ginsburg disastrously lost a bet. Most likely, Marcus spoke "with hesitation" for several reasons. On the one hand, it isn't polite to seem to criticize a good and thoroughly decent person who has recently died. On the other hand, the fact that "this catastrophe could have been averted" is a highly significant point. For better or worse, we've been told by our failing tribe's thought police that we mustn't discuss it. We'll discuss that admonition tomorrow; it emerged from a usual source. For today, we'll only say this: As everyone knows, this sudden turn of events wasn't real sudden at all. And Marcus's assessment is perfectly accurate: Justice Ginsburg's gamble concerning her own mortality has quite possibly "turned out [to be] disastrously wrong." Her gamble may re-elect Donald J. Trump. Even if the commander is defeated, her gamble may repeal Roe v. Wade. It may doom the Affordable Care Act. Such results wouldn't make Justice Ginsburg a bad person or a villain. But our tribe's reaction to her potentially disastrous gamble says a great deal about us. As a group, are we too soft to be self-governing? Is there any sign—any sign at all—that we're actually up to that task? The children are writing their feel-good, personality pieces even as this potential disaster takes shape. They keep providing us with the warm, cozy feelings in which we love to wrap ourselves as we hide inside our caves and our tents. Our failing tribe's journalistic sachems have been behaving like they're soft in the head for at least three decades now. We're supposed to be a self-governing people. Is there any sign, over here in our tents, that we're actually up to the task? We'll examine that question all this week. Top experts say the answer may be a less-than-sudden no. Tomorrow: Commissar instantly speaks Posted by bob somerby on Monday, September 21, 2020 Mao Cheng Ji September 21, 2020 at 10:48 AM Our disabled commander, dear Bob? Nice. He-he. What is your Demigod rapist-candidate, then: a rotting corpse? Oh dear. Thanks for the laughs. "Japan: 68" But where is the score of Taiwan, an island province of China, dear Bob? Oh dear, I won't be able to sleep tonight, not knowing. You liberals are so cruel. "Justice Ginsburg's gamble concerning her own mortality has quite possibly "turned out [to be] disastrously wrong."" Tsk. How sad. Don't gamble, children, especially with your mortality. But then, if you're in a cult, you probably got no choice anyway. Bummer, eh, dear Bob? "Even if the commander is defeated, her gamble may repeal Roe v. Wade." Whoa, how terrible - people of individual states will be able to decide for themselves. And 'em people, they always decide wrong, as far as your zombie cult is concerned, dear Bob. Right? Ешь говно, тролль.

The young voters prefer Joe Biden over Donald Trump by a large margin, 60% to 27%." One day we are told to give up our pipe dreams, the next day we are told we are too soft. Somerby is a clown. "Why would anyone think that Donald J. Trump, with votes from at least fifty of the 53 Republican senators, wouldn't try to ram a nomination through?" Somerby himself says it later in his essay. Some Republicans might vote their conscience and oppose such an effort. But Somerby, cynically, doesn't believe they would actually be voting based on conscience. For him, there is no such thing, apparently. There is a word for people without a conscience. It is sociopath. But Somerby says he cannot even imagine why Democrats might expect Republicans to have conscience. Perhaps it is Somerby who is lacking that essential part of what it means to be a human being? Beyond that, naked self interest dictates that you not abuse those who will be in power in the near future, because what goes around, comes around. Why would Democrats show any restraint if Republicans take this unfortunate occurrence as an excuse to pack the court, against both fairness and the will of the American people (based on polling)? Somerby's count of votes is a bit self-serving too. He is ignoring several conscience-voters who have not yet said how they will vote, including Jeff Flake and Mitt Romney. He is also ignoring the outcome of the AZ special election, which may put Mark Kelly into office in time for such a vote. And Somerby ignores the Republican senators who are up for reelection and must answer to their constituents (McConnell is one). There is no place among liberals for the kind of cynicism Somerby expresses. He didn't even have the presence of mind to express empathy for the position we liberals find ourselves in, no word of condolence over RBG's death, not even lip service to the unfairness of what Republicans seem to be attempting. The mask is off. Somerby is no liberal. aC/MA September 21, 2020 at 12:36 PM Flake is no longer a senator Gloucon X September 21, 2020 at 8:34 PM Nobody knows if Republicans will vote to confirm a new SCJ. Somerby thinks they will, and you think they won't. I predict that reality will prove his view, and yours will look delusional. There is a difference between making an unfulfilled prediction and being delusional. You like to throw these psychological terms around, but you clearly don't know what they mean. If we all take a vote, can we get Mao back and send you away? So it's not just basic math that Glaucon X can't grasp? "Here, with some hesitation, I must pause to observe that this catastrophe could have been averted by Ginsburg herself. The justice chose not to retire before the end of President Barack Obama’s second term and bristled at suggestions that she ought to do so, in case. As it turned out, Ginsburg’s bet that Hillary Clinton would be elected, and that her successor could be named by the first female president, was disastrously wrong." Why doesn't Somerby take this argument all the way? First, if the Republican controlled senate wouldn't confirm Merrick Garland, what makes Somerby think they would have confirmed a judge named to replace RBG? Second, Justice Kennedy made a deal with Trump to resign during his term so that a Republican president could name his replacement. Why is this Ginsburg's fault? Maybe Obama didn't make the terms sweet enough. Third, Marcus and others seem excessively focused on Roe v. Wade, which can be rescued easily by enacting federal legislation to ensure women's health care rights. What about the many other cases that Ginsburg influenced during the addition 5 years spent on the court? But Somerby has said not one single word about her importance as both an attorney and later a jurist. He uses Marcus's essay as an excuse to blame RBG for Trump's actions and to ultimately blame Hillary for letting the Russians and Comey steal the election. Somerby almost considers RBG a dupe of Clinton, a fool for believing she could win, again with no mention of how Trump's campaign colluded with Russia. He has also never mentioned his own contribution, as a Bernie supporter, to ensuring that a handful of progressives went third-party in three key Democratic states and swung the electoral college Trump's way. Instead of supporting the Democratic Party candidate, Somerby spent the pre-election months criticizing liberals and predicting that Trump would win. Just as he is doing now. Somerby thinks that a major champion of women's right should have bet against the female presidential candidate! Just as he thinks that Republicans should have no conscience and pay no attention to what the American people want. What an empty, hollow place Somerby's soul must be. RBG spent her life doing what she considered the right thing, despite hardships and despite losses and never "bet" on the sure thing instead of pursuing justice. Somerby should side with justice or what is inspiration for? By not retiring in 2014 RGB was also betting that the Republicans would never take back the Senate and block any Dem nominee like they did in 2016 before the election. In 2014 it was unknown whether Hillary would even run. Somehow she unbelievably convinced herself that Dems were invincible even after the electoral carnage of 2010. RGB lived for six years after 2014 and made important contributions to many cases. Why should she have retired on someone else's timetable? Supreme Court justices are not supposed to be making political calculations or basing their judgments on political considerations instead of the law. It is to her credit that she did not retire early and that she did not base that kind of decision on Hillary Clinton or anyone else's plans to run for President. All justices have a duty to the entire population of our country. Partisanship shouldn't affect their judgments. So, these kinds of speculations are distasteful and run counter to the duty of the justices confirmed to the court. mm September 22, 2020 at 10:11 AM Supreme Court justices are not supposed to be making political calculations or basing their judgments on political considerations instead of the law. Well, sorry to break it to you, but that horse has left the barn. See Bush v Gore. I totally support the closing of Ivy League schools. Particularly their business schools, which are destroying the nation and the world. What's the plan, Bob? Step 1 -- release a deadly virus. Step 2 -- do nothing to combat its spread. Step 3 -- close all schools. Seems simple. Somerby insists that liberals should try to understand The Other, by listening to Fox News and Rush. Tom Sullivan at Digby's blog quotes Tyler Childers, a country-bluegrass singer in Kentucky who is suggesting that his neighbors try to walk in their black neighbors shoes to understand the BLM upset over Kentuckian Breonna Taylor's death: "In a video explanation of what inspired the song, Childers asks white fans to do a little self-examination on race and to walk a few steps in the shoes of black neighbors, even if they have never had any: "What if we were to constantly open up our daily paper and see a headline like “East Kentucky man shot seven times on fishing trip“? And read on to find the man was shot while fishing with his son by a game warden who saw him rummaging through his tackle box for his license and thought he was reaching for a knife? "What if we read a story that began, North Carolina man rushing home from work to take his elderly mother to the ER runs a stop sign and is pulled over and beaten by police when they see a gun rack in the truck? "Or a headline like “Ashland Community and Technical College nursing student shot in her sleep“? "How would we react to that? What form of upheaval would that create? Childers asks rural, white listeners to consider what they might do faced with that treatment: "I mean to say, if we were met with this type of daily attack on our people we would take action in a way that hasn’t been seen since the Battle of Blair Mountain in West Virginia. And if we wouldn’t stand for it, why would we expect another group of Americans to stand for it? Why would we stand silent while it happened, or worse, get in the way of it being rectified? "Perhaps we could find more productive ways to preserve our heritage, he suggests, than “lazily defending a flag with history steeped in racism and treason.” Maybe take up hewing logs or canning food, tanning hides or quilting." https://digbysblog.net/2020/09/tall-tales-and-hearsay-and-absolute-lies/ The difference is that Somerby wishes liberals to become conservative whereas Childers wants conservatives to become liberal. mh September 21, 2020 at 12:25 PM “For better or worse, we've been told by our failing tribe's thought police that we mustn't discuss it.” Somerby really likes saying stuff like this. Here is Erik Loomis, at Lawyers, Guns and Money blog, last Friday: “Ginsburg’s entire legacy is voided by her refusing to retire the last time Democrats held the Senate.” https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2020/09/the-end-3 Even Ruth Marcus mentions this criticism. So Somerby fails to state which of our “thought police” are telling us not to discuss this point. “Why would anyone think that Donald J. Trump, with votes from at least fifty of the 53 Republican senators, wouldn't try to ram a nomination through?” Marcus says they shouldn’t, not that they won’t. Then Somerby goes on to ruminate about how Republicans may end up voting on the nominee. Some may express concerns, as Collins and Murkowski already have. Obviously Marcus is making a public appeal to Republican Senators to hold off on the process. It is likely futile, as Somerby implies, but that doesn’t mean the appeal shouldn’t be made and the reasons why ramming the nomination through is a bad thing spelled out. “Disordered commander receives a boost!” Somerby never specifies why he thinks this will result in a boost for Trump. Nor does he discuss the possibility of how this might boost Biden. Somerby was making similar noises during the Kavanaugh confirmation, which took place just before the 2018 midterms, in which Democrats took back the House in a huge comeback. So we are left with the one clearly true thing Somerby said: the deathless, if utterly meaningless, “The election may not unfold that way, but it certainly could.” I think you're right. It's hard to say how this act of God will affect the election. But getting the unexpected gift of an extra Supreme Court justice does give Republican spirits a boost. "But getting the unexpected gift of an extra Supreme Court justice does give Republican spirits a boost." I thought that's what the videos of police killing unarmed black men is for. Gloucon X September 21, 2020 at 10:21 PM Armed or unarmed hardly matters. The rioter's spirits get a great boost in either case, as do ghoulish yokels like you. Judging by campaign contributions, Democrats are energized. mh September 21, 2020 at 1:55 PM Somerby jumps aboard the “Nyah Nyah Nyah-Nyah Nyah” train, pointing fingers at Ginsburg and the “failing” liberals, implying that this potentially loses the election and proves what a failure liberals supposedly are. (Nice bit of circular reasoning there.) But in reality, this kind of backward looking carping at Ginsburg at this moment would be more likely to make liberals look weak and be redolent of failure. The thing to do now is to propose solutions going forward, which many liberals and prominent Democrats are doing. David in Cal September 21, 2020 at 6:55 PM It's the President's JOB to nominate replacement Justices when there's a vacancy on the SC. Now, there may be reasons or excuses not to perform this function at this moment. However, to make a routine part of the President's job sound outlandish shows the effectiveness of SPIN. No, you are incorrect about this. It is the job of the president to offer sympathy to the family and friends of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and to comfort the many women and men who are distressed at her passing, but I didn't hear him do that. It is the job of the president to do so many things that Trump has failed to do. And it is the job of the president to refrain from doing criminal and unethical things that this president has done repeatedly. Republicans are not off the hook on this one because this argument just won't fly. scottadamsisanub September 21, 2020 at 9:22 PM Of course, Nitwit in Cal was singing a different tune in 2016 with the Merrick Garland nomination to replace Fat Tony Scalia. Hypocrisy and the GOP - in other news, the Sun rose in the East today. Republicans are trying to bait you into calling them "hypocrites" rather than the lying fuckfaces they are. Don't fall for it. mm September 22, 2020 at 5:16 AM prior to the election in 2016, when everyone thought Hillary Clinton would win, cause it was still inconceivable that Americans in significant numbers would vote for the abomination who is Donald J Chickenshit, a number of Republican Senators explicitly stated that they would block any SC appointment by a president Clinton, for four years. "the actual rule McConnell announced and abided by in 2016 was that republicans won't confirm a democratic president's nominees. that's it. that's the rule" Chris Hayes David claims to be a strong supporter of women's right to choose and control of their own bodies. That's why he is eagerly looking forward to seating a looney tune fruit loop theocratic non-entity with a total of 2 years experience as a judge who will certainly vote to take those rights away. With this 3rd appointment to the SC by Donald J Chickenshit, Acting President, there will be 5 justices out of 9 on the SC who've been appointed by a republican president who had lost the popular vote. Think about that. Republicans have been anti-democratic since Reagan was President.

Media Coverage & Reviews Pathways to Higher Education Making Change Vote for the Everyday Digital Native Video Contest! Posted by Prasad Krishna at Mar 20, 2012 12:15 PM \| Permalink Filed under: Video, Featured, Researchers at Work, Digital Natives The Centre for Internet & Society and Hivos are super excited to present the final videos in the Everyday Digital Native Video Contest. We invite readers to vote for the TOP 5 Videos. The finalists will each win EUR500! Voting closes March 31, 2012 Who’s the Everyday Digital Native? This global video contest has the answer They effect social change through social media, place their communities on the global map, and share a spiritual connection with the digital world - Meet the Everyday Digital Native The Everyday Digital Native video contest has got its pulse on what makes youths from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds connect with one another in the global community – it’s an affinity for digital technologies and Web 2.0-mediated platforms coupled with a drive to spearhead social change. The contest invited people from around the world to make a video that would answer the question, ‘Who is the Everyday Digital Native?’. Following a jury-based selection process, the final videos are now online and open for public voting. Run by the Bangalore-based Centre for Internet & Society (CIS) with the support of Dutch NGO HIVOS, the contest will see the top five videos with the most votes declared winners on April 1, 2012. The 12 finalists in the video, who come from different parts of the globe, are each vying for the top prize of USD 500 and a chance to have their shorts screened in a film screening and panel discussion hosted by CIS. Referring to the theme of the contest, Dr Nishant Shah, Director of Research and Co-founder of the Centre, says that the contest aims at highlighting the alternative users of digital technologies. These are people who are often not accounted for either in mainstream discourses of changemakers or in academic biopics on digital natives. “The 12 video proposals show that the everyday digital native does not wake up in the morning and think, ‘hmmm today I will change the world’. And yet, in their everyday lives, when they see the possibility of producing a change in their immediate environments, they turn to the digital to find networks that can start a change”, says Shah. Apart from the top five public selections, the jury members will be instrumental in picking their two favorites among the finalists. Talking about the range of ideas that participants sent in jury member Leon Tan, a media-art historian, cultural theorist and psychoanalyst based in Gothenburg, Sweden, says, “The contest is an exciting project as it has the potential to portray the lives of digital natives from different corners of the world. The generosity of the contestants in creating video proposals is commendable as is the range of ideas suggested. The ideas address both the opportunities and risks of what we might call digital life.” Adds Shashwati Talukdar, a filmmaker and jury member from India, “It was really interesting to see how different all the proposals were. Some of them were taking the notion of digital native as a personal one and some were very clearly political and sought an intervention in the real world. Dutch digital media artist and jury member Jeroen van Loon refers to a proposal from the USA where the participant wanted to explore the possibility of unplugging from his digital life. “It’s very interesting how digital natives question their own world. The proposals are good examples of how technology and culture constantly change each other. We can learn a lot from the global digital natives.” Profiles of the finalists and their videos can be viewed here.

__label__cc	0.514255	0.485745	It was turn back the clock night last night in Los Angeles, to an era when high-scoring affairs were routine, when 11 players scoring in double figures was the norm, and when the Lakers cleaned the Sonics’ clock with regularity. My 112-103 prediction was off, but the gist was right – it was high scoring and the Sonics got beat, thanks in no small part to Kobe Bryant’s return from injury, Luke Walton’s career-high 20 points, and Lamar Odom’s continued brilliant play. Let’s look a little closer at the game: WHAT WENT RIGHT: 1. Ray Allen, quarters 1 through 3: 30 points 2. Rashard Lewis. 21 second-half points 3. Danny Fortson, +5 in 12 minutes 4. Sonic runs of 14-0, 7-0. and 12-2 5. Chris Wilcox’ double-double 6. Earl Watson’s 13 points and 7 assists 7. Allen’s six steals 8. 9 turnovers, compared to 18 for the Lakers WHAT WENT WRONG: 1. Allen, 0-for-6 in the 4th quarter 2. Lewis/Luke Ridnour, combined -34 3. Sene, -8 in 11 minutes 4. Lakers’ 26-7 first quarter run 5. Lakers outscore Seattle 37-13 at the line 6. Only 2 blocks to LA’s 7 7. 1-for-10 from 3-point range in the 4th quarter 8. Ronny Turiaf in the 4th quarter 9. Lakers shoot 72% in the 1st quarter Most importantly, Johan Petro was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat prior to the game during the Sonics’ workout in LA. It’s not known if/when Petro will return to the lineup, but you’ve got to feel for the guy. He spent the entire pre-season being chided for poor play, he lives in a foreign country, playing a game that’s still sort of new to him (i.e., NBA rules), and now he finds out he’s got an irregular heartbeat. I know, he makes a ton of money, but, still, not exactly the best couple months of his life. The big story from last night was the ridiculous differential in FTA. I didn’t get to watch the game (in their infinite wisdom, the Pacific version of Canada’s ESPN broadcast the Warriors-Blazers game in Vancouver rather than Sonics-Lakers; go figure), but can anyone tell me if the calls were as ticky-tacky as Hill and the players claimed? The foul calling was hilarious. On one end Wilcox gets mugged x3 by Turiaf, called a 'block' and then Kobe gets the ball on the fast break and some how he was fouled without contact. Bob Hill agrees (from the P.I.): "Can you believe this (expletive)?" he said, looking at the box score. "It's difficult to win a basketball game when one team shots 48 free throws and your team shoots 16 and you go to the basket for two-thirds of the game. When it happens right in front of you, you can see it. "I probably shouldn't be saying this, but we deserved to win that game." Great game Friday except for the refs. Can't believe I was actually entertained by the Lakers. Sunday's game was inspirational, except for poor Nick. I think maybe he needs to sleep farther away from his baby or something - there seems to be something bothering him still. Whoever the hell lit a fire under Ridnour needs to keep it stoked all season long - I may actually take the bullseye down from his picture if this keeps up.	cc/2022-05/en_middle_0074.json.gz/line58

After acting as hired muscle for dozens of different employers, Valeros finally realized that it was time to go into business for himself as an adventurer.

Though a fan of fine weapons and creature comforts, the only object he's never without is the tankard on his belt (As you never know when someone might offer you a drink).

It was to become a theme that would follow him for the rest of his life. In the years since, Valeros has come a long way from the wide-eyed young man who sought only the joy of exploration (and maybe a pretty, worldly girl or three to regale with his stories).

Discovering himself to be a deft hand with a sword, Valeros quickly fell in with the rough-and-tumble mercenary crowd, there learning the dirtier, grittier facts of warfare. Though none could deny his prowess with a blade (or better yet, two), Valeros's association with various mercenary groups never seemed to last for long. There was his time as a guard for the Aspis Consortium, which ended when certain shipments kept coming in light under Valeros's watch (never mind that the exploited locals were dying for lack of grain, and only needed a little to make it through the winter). Then there was the stint as a freelance bounty hunter, during which Valeros discovered that it's a lot easier to hunt down escaped murderers than it is to haul in a young woman on the run from a loveless marriage. And of course, there was the infamous incident with the Band of the Mauler, to which Valeros will only say that he was positive their leader had been crushed under that cave-in, or else he never would have touched the man's wife. In the end, after acting as hired muscle for dozens of different employers, Valeros finally realized that the only way to keep from getting blamed for things which weren't his fault—not really—was to go into business for himself as an adventurer, traveling with those who properly appreciated him and letting those who didn't fall by the wayside. And if some of those companions happen to be pretty women, such as a certain Varisian sorcereror or elven rogue, all the better.

This Part Three contains information from two very dissimilar sources: (1) two family histories written by grandchildren of John Burke and (2) newspaper and court records. As to the histories, John’s great-grandson Victor Moulder wrote one of them. Victor and his brother George B. Moulder collaborated on the second. Images and information from both are ubiquitous on Ancestry.com. Unfortunately, some of the information about John Burke’s children from the histories is wrong, particularly regarding their migration history. I do not mean to denigrate the Moulders’ histories, for which I am grateful. The brothers probably had no information other than oral family history handed down for three generations – over a century. I don’t know about you, but I can rarely tell the same story exactly the same every time. Inaccuracies due to the distance of time and fading memory creep in, and occasional, um, embellishments are introduced to keep the conversation lively. Some of the Moulders’ information was probably incorrect two generations before they wrote it down, and the oral tradition guarantees that new errors were introduced over time. Obviously, the Moulders didn’t have easy access to census records, court filings and tombstones to supplement their information. Fortunately, we do. With that in mind, let’s begin with some more information from the Moulders before we get on to the other sources. This deals with “lite” facts and easily-resolved issues. If you need to get up to speed, here are links to Part One and Part Two of the John Burke series. And here is some of what the Moulders’ history said about their great-grandfather: John Burke was born … in 1783 (died 1853) … took up a claim on War Trace Creek at Cumberland River near Gainesboro, Jackson Co. Tenn.; married Elizabeth Graves, who was born 1786 of Irish extraction (died 1831) … second wife [was] Janie Lamb. John Burke’s dates of birth and death. As noted in Part Two, a birth year of 1783 is consistent with John’s age ranges according to the 1820 and 1830 federal censuses. He died on June 6, 1842, not 1853, according to his widow and several court filings reciting the month and year. John’s widow appeared in the 1850 census for Jackson Co. as Jane D. Byrk. Her household included her five children by John Burke and a sixth child named Burke who was too young to have been fathered by John.[1] John Burke’s wives. Yes, John Burke’s first wife was Elizabeth Graves, daughter of Esom Graves and Judith Parrott. Elizabeth could have been born in 1786 since the 1820 census shows her as having been born during 1775–94. An 1831 date of death for her is wrong, because there is no female the right age to be Elizabeth in the 1830 census. Her last child was born in 1828. Whether Elizabeth was “of Irish extraction” may be unprovable. I haven’t been able to prove her paternal line any earlier than her grandfather, John Graves. He was born in Virginia about 1735 (a rough guess based on his eldest son’s age) and lived in at least Spotsylvania and Halifax counties, Virginia.[2] Many, if not most, of the Graves found in colonial Virginia were descended from Capt. Thomas Graves, who arrived in Virginia in the early 1600s. Y-DNA tests prove that Elizabeth’s line wasn’t descended from Thomas Graves, but don’t (so far as I know) provide evidence of her Graves line’s country of origin. Elizabeth’s maternal line, the Parrotts, had been in the colonies since the 1650s, and they were from England. John Burke’s second wife was Jane D. Basham, not Lamb, as she herself stated on her widow’s application for pension for John Burke’s War of 1812 service. That was almost certainly her maiden name. The identity of John Burke’s children. Let’s switch gears in terms of source material. No more “facts lite,” we are now into dense legal language. There are two documents which conclusively establish the identities of John Burke’s children: a newspaper ad[3] and a chancery court complaint.[4] They are a veritable genealogical gold mine. One of them even names a number of grandchildren (including my great-grandfather William Logan Burke, an early sheriff of McClennan Co., TX) and states the locations of many of John’s heirs. Let’s look closely at each document. The Newspaper Ad. The first document concerns Jane D. Basham Burke’s application to a Jackson County court for a “writ of dower” to allot her dower portion of John Burke’s land. The law required her to give notice of her petition to John’s heirs. Requisite notice could be accomplished by taking out an ad or ads in local newspapers.[5] The notice, dated August 19, 1842, was published in the September 8, 1842 issue of The Republican, a local newspaper, and apparently reprinted in The Smith County Democrat.[6] It has the benefit of being contemporaneous evidence, which is inheritantly more reliable and persuasive than evidence provided at a later date. Furthermore, two very good witnesses – John’s widow Jane and his son John Carroll Burke, one of the estate administrators – undoubtedly provided the names of the heirs for the notice. The notice names only fifteen children. Jane was pregnant at the time with their daughter Matilda, who was born after the date of the notice. Here is an image of the Newspaper Ad. Note that John Burke’s two sons-in-law are identified in the notice. Until the twentieth century, a married woman in most states had no legal existence apart from her husband. Thus, a son-in-law, rather than a daughter, was actually the party to any lawsuit and was the designated recipient of any notice. Fortunately, the notice also names John’s married daughters. Note also that the children are not named in birth order: the last two were sons of Elizabeth Graves Burke. Here is a transcription of the first paragraph of the article, with some additions. I have numbered John Burke’s children, added punctuation and spacing for clarity, and included some annotations in italics: (1) Henry F. Burke, (2) William G. Darwin and his wife Polly (formerly Polly Burke, a nickname for Mary), (3) Alva Graves and his wife Parmelia (formely Parmelia Burke), (4) James Burke (this is James W. Burke), (5) John Burke (John G. Burke), (6) William C. Burke (middle name Carroll), (7) Elizabeth Burke and (8) Paresiba (usually spelled ParesiDa) Burke by their guardian William G. Darwin (Darwin was the guardian of Elizabeth and Paresida, the only two in the preceding list who were still minors), (9) Esom L. Burke (middle name Logan), (10) Elvira Burke, (11) James F. Burke (sic, this should be Jonas Burke), (12) America O. Burke, (13) Milly Jane Burke, (14) Francis M. Burke (middle name Marion), and (15) Franklin P. Burke (middle name Parrott), by their guardian pendente lite, Richard P. Brooks (the guardian of children 9 through 15, all still minors in 1842), heirs of John Burke, deceased, and [notice is also given to] Richard P. Brooks and Carrol C. Burke (sic, William Carroll Burke), administrators of said John Burke, dec’d. And that’s all the news that’s fit to print from the Newspaper Ad. The Chancery Court Complaint The second piece of fabulous evidence is an original complaint filed in the Jackson County chancery court in 1884 concerning John Burke’s estate. Briefly, some of John’s heirs alleged that Richard P. Brooks, one of the administrators of the estate, defrauded them regarding John’s land. I have no idea how the suit turned out, although there might be records to be found among the Jackson County microfilm. That film is a tough slog. Like the application for dower allotment, all of John Burke’s heirs had to be named as parties to the lawsuit — because all had an interest in the estate. If one of John’s children had died by that time (in fact, several had died by 1884), then their children were heirs to the estate and had to be named. For this, we can be grateful that John Burke died without a will. The list of heirs in the Chancery Complaint was obviously not contemporaneous with John Burke’s death in 1842. Because it is forty years later, it is obviously less reliable than the newspaper notice. The Complaint contains errors and omissions, as well as “blanks” where the complainants didn’t know the facts. Most of the “holes” can be filled with other evidence, though. Just the locations are worth their weight in gold for tracking this family. Here is the Chancery Court Complaint’s list of John Burke’s children: Henry F. Burke, John G. Burke, Polly Burke, Permelia Burke, William C. Burke, James W. Burke, Esom L. Burke, Francis M. Burke, Parazidia Burke, Franklin P. Burke, Elisabeth Burke, Elvira Burke, America Burke, Matilda Burke, Jonas Burke, & Jane Burke, his only heirs at law. This list is closer to birth order than the other list, but still not quite accurate. I am going to reproduce my transcription of the Chancery Court Complaint in its entirety, below. In the next article in this series, I will (finally!) take up information about the children themselves. Transcription of the Original Complaint dated July 28, 1884 in the suit John G.

Said John Burke the common ancestor of complainants, at his death owned several valuable tracts of land lying in Jackson County, Tennessee, on one of which he resided at the time of his death, and about 200 acres of it, the homestead, was duly allotted and assigned by the Circuit Court of said County to his said widow as her dower, and a decree of said court duly entered to that effect, and she took possession of it as such and resided on it for a considerable time and until she conveyed it or transferred it in some way as such dower and estate for her life to said Richard P. Brooks who went into possession of and held it as such during her natural life, which terminated on the ____ of _______, 1881, less than seven years before the filing of this bill; and it has been less than seven years since the right of action of the heirs of John Burke dec’d accrued for said dower land. Said dower tract lies on the Cumberland River on the south side of it and is bounded North by Cumberland River, East by the lands of Joshua Haile Jr., South by the lands of R. A. Cox & Hoover and West by __________________ and lies in White’s Bend of said river. The lines cannot now be given by complts but reference is to be had to the lines of said dower as laid off by the Court, the records of which were destroyed & burned up some years ago without the intention or knowledge of complts. It is believed and so charged from belief that deft Brooks or if not he some of the other claimants under his testator the defts have a copy of the decree allotting the said dower. If so let them answer as to it & produce it & file it with their answer. Complts further allege that some time after the death of John Burke their ancestor said Richard P. Brooks the admr procured some of the heirs to join him in filing a bill or petition in the Circuit Court of Jackson County against others of the heirs to procure a sale or partition of the lands of said John Burke not covered by the dower and under it they were sold in or about the year 1843, as now remembered, by the clerk & commissioners of said Court and they were purchased in by said Richard P. Brooks or at least part of them were bought by him, including that part of the home tract not covered by the dower. There was a large quantity of the lands & quite valuable. At the same time of the sale of the other lands outside of the dower said Richard P. Brooks fraudulently procured a pretended sale of the remainder in the land covered by said dower allotted to the widow, and pretended to purchase it in himself at the grossly inadequate price of three hundred dollars, or thereabout, although there was no application in the bill or petition to the court for a sale of it and under the law the court had no jurisdiction to sell it – the widow being then living. The Heirs were all then young and most of them, including several of complts & their ancestors, under 21 years of age, and all ignorant in matters of law and conveyancing etc, and all relied on and confided in said Brooks, the admr., who was a shrewd person, versed in such matters, and, afterward, if not then, a lawyer. They objected at the time of the sale, in the presence & hearing of said Brooks & others there to the sale of the dower land, and contended that there was no application to sell it; but, Brooks fraudulently & wrongfully went on and had it sold & bought it in, over their objections, and, as they now believe, & so charge, for the purpose of cheating the heirs out of it; for, among other badges of fraud, he afterward admitted to friends, at times, that he had no title to it, and that it was really the rightful property of the said heirs. He, soon after this sale, purchased of the widow her life estate in dower and took possession of it as such, and held it up to her death, & to his own death about two years past, acknowledging the rights of the heirs to the remainder. Complts charge that during the time said R. P. Brooks so held and occupied said land, he committed and permitted great waste and injury to it, and to the injury & damage of the heirs, by permitting it to dilapidate, by bad cultivation and husbandry of himself & tenants, by taking down & removing the fences & houses, etc., from it to his other lands; by cutting down & removing & deadining (?) & destroying the valuable timbers of which there was much; by destroying and permitting to be destroyed & injured the valuable orchards, to the damage of the heirs to large amounts. He also took the rents & profits of said land to large amounts, after the death of the widow, to which the heirs were entitled. And the other defts R. V. Brooks, Caleb Roberts, Josiah Roberts, Meredith Brown & Asa Denson have continued all these wrongs since, to the damage of the heirs. But the amounts of the rents & damages for which each or any of them is liable cannot be stated or ascertained without an accounti[ng] thereof; it being a matter of complicated account, fit, & fit only, to be ascertained by a court of chancery, and not fit or considerable in a court [remainder of this page is missing. The complainants are just asserting that the case must be tried in the chancery court, that the county court of law doesn’t have jurisdiction.] They all claim under the title of John Burke the common ancestor of complts whose title papers are supposed to be in possession of deft Brooks, or if they are not they are so unintentionally lost or mislaid or destroyed that complts cannot find them & that the registration of them is also so unintentionally destroyed. Said R. V. Brooks, Caleb Roberts, Nathan Roberts, Josiah Roberts, Meredith Brown & Asa Denson are the present occupants of said land, and claim it wrongfully, and refuse to give it up or, surrender the possession of it to the heirs of said John Burke, dec’d, or pay the rents & damages; though the heirs have duly demanded the same of them, and said rents and damages, with the interest thereon, are due and unpaid to the heirs. Your complainants are informed & believe, and, so, charge, that Richard P. Brooks did not pay any thing for the said remainder interest in the land covered by said dower; and, therefore, he is not entitled in any event to any reimbursement. Yet, if it turn out that any of the heirs did in fact get any part of its proceeds, they are, respectively, willing to refund it & do justice, upon the land being surrendered or decreed to be given up to them; and they have offered this to the present occupants. But they refuse, as aforesaid, to surrender & pay. So, complts must sue for their rights. At the death of said John Burke the common ancestor of complts his said lands descended to his aforesaid children, then living, equally. After his death some of them died and some of them died leaving issue who inherit through them their portions of said lands, and they are as follows: Polly, a daughter of said John the common ancestor, married William Darwin, and died leaving children to wit: Leonidas Darwin of Texas, William H. Darwin of Arkansas, Hiram C. Darwin of Texas, George C. Darwin of Jackson County, Tennessee, Mary A. [might be Ann] a daughter who married a man by name of Suite, but he is dead and she is a widow & resides in Texas; Elizabeth, who married Miles Kelly, and they reside in Kansas; Granville Darwin who died leaving one daughter Mary who has married ___________________ Carter & they reside in Jackson County Tennessee; Parasidia, a daughter, who married Alexander Taylor, & they reside in Arkansas; and Polley, a daughter, who died without issue after her mother died and her share descended to her brothers and sisters the children of Polly Darwin, aforesaid, equally. Henry F. Burke, a son of the common ancestor, died about Nov., 1845, leaving four children, to wit: Milton E. Burke, John M. Burke, Sarah E. a daughter who has married _____________ Hornbuckle, all of the state of Missouri, and Angelina a daughter who has married _____ McCary who resides in Kansas. Parasidia, a daughter of the common ancestor, married W. W. More [sic, Moore] and afterward died intestate, leaving the following children, to wit: Elisabeth a daughter who has married James Padgett of Wilson County, Tennessee; Ella, a daughter who has married Alexander Buhler of Wilson County, Tennessee; Adda(?), a daughter, who has married William Bettis of Wilson County, Tennessee; & Lucy Moore, a daughter, of Wilson County Tennessee; Permelia, a daughter of the common ancestor, married Alva Graves, and they are both dead, leaving two children, daughters, to wit, Parasidia, who married _____ Lipscomb, and Permelia, who married ____________ Lipscomb, all of the state of Missouri. Esom L., a son of the common ancestor, died, leaving the following children, all of whom reside in Wilson County, Tennessee, to wit: William L., John P., Franklin P. & James R. Burke, sons, and two daughters, to wit Uhley, now wife of Henry Woolard and Sallie B. Burke, the said F. P., Sallie B., & Jas R. are minors without guardians and sue by their brother & next friend William L. Burke. The following children of the common ancestor are living to wit John G. of Wilson County, Tenn., Francis M. of Texas, Franklin P. of Missouri, sons, & Elizabeth the wife of Thomas D. Simpson of Texas, and Matilda, the wife of Lone(?) Long, of Kentucky. Elvira, a daughter of the common ancestor, married Otey Hopkins, and died, leaving the following children, her only heirs, to wit: W.____P., M_____ D., John O., M_______ E., Sydney, Andrew L., Nannie B. & Mary Ann Hopkins. Sidney Hopkins Andrew Hopkins Naney B. Hopkins & Mary Jane Hopkins (John Anderson & Frances) Anderson minors who sue by their next friend George C. Darwin. [Note: I have transcribed this paragraph exactly as it appears in the original, so far as I can tell. The draftsman was clearly getting tired.] America, a daughter of the common ancestor, married _______________ Anderson, and died, leaving the following children surviving her, to wit: Judey & John Anderson, who reside in Jackson County, Tennessee. James B. Burke [sic, should be James W. Burke], son of the common ancestor, who died, leaving the following children & heirs to wit: Jno R. Burke, Thos. Burke, Elizabeth Parker, widow of ___________ Parker, and Marion Burke, citizens of the state of Kentucky. Wm. C. Burke, son of the common ancestor, who died, leaving one child & heir Henry Burke, a citizen of the state of Kentucky. The common ancestor had one son named Jonas at his death and a daughter born in lawful time a few months after his death whose name was Jane, as now remembered, who both died intestate & without marriage or issue many years ago, before the death of the widow and their shares descended to the other surviving heirs of the common ancestor to wit those herein stated in the same proportions as the other parts of the estate descended to them from said common ancestor. One error about John Burke’s sixteen children: Milly Jane wasn’t the afterborn child, who was named in the Newspaper Ad. The afterborn child was Matilda Burke Long. Your complts further state that the said land sued for is not susceptible of partition among the owners of it owing to the number of owners being so great, for want of timber & water and being bounded and hemmed by adjacent owners’ lands and by the natural obstructions so that roads & ways for ingress & egress could not be had to & from it by reason of all which & perhaps other good reasons the value would be much diminished so that it is not susceptible of such partition in kind without manifest injury to the owners and it would be manifestly to the interest & advantage of the owners that the land be sold and the proceeds partitioned among them. Prayer. The premises being considered, your complts pray that this bill be filed in said court, on behalf of Complts and of said Matilda Long & her husband, if they shall choose to avail themselves of its benefits under the rules of law & practice; that the persons named in the caption as defendants be made such by proper process & orders of publication etc; that they be compelled to answer fully, not on oath; that they answer as to the said copy of the decree & other title papers aforesaid and file with their answers if they have them; that upon hearing decrees be entered declaring the rights & title of complts & Long & wife and setting up their title to be complete in & to said land and vesting the same in them according to their several rights and that they be put in possession thereof; that the defts in possession & claiming the lands be held liable for the rents, waste & damages of the lands with interest thereon; that deft R. V. Brooks as Executor of the will of said Richard P. Brooks, deceased, and the estate of said Richard P. Brooks be held liable also for the same; that all proper & necessary accounts thereof be taken and reports made and all proper & necessary decrees entered to declare & enforce the rights of said heirs or if complts have mistaken their relief that such other and further relief be granted them as may seem right & lawful. As the rental is quite valuable and some of the defendants not solvent complts pray that a Receiver be appointed to rent out the lands and secure the rents pending the litigation and such orders made & proceedings had as may be necessary & proper. Complts also pray that defts be injoined from committing further waste or damage to the lands. This is the first application for an injunction in this matter. A. Swope A. Witt? or Mott?

Kyeudo It depends on what you mean by anti-D&D. Power-level wise, they have very different philosophies, but style-wise it can vary. Eberron, for example, is very pulp, to the point where converting Ex3 to run an Eberron game is on my long range project list. This is neither good nor bad. As they say, different strokes for different folks. Dead But Not Gone: Ghosts Ghosts: A Revision (2nd Edition) Masters of the Industrial Elements Upon the Rock of Tradition: The Memorial Exalted From The Crucible: Crafting As A Struggle Kyman201 The "Anti D&D" thing is kind of a thing that was pushed back in the very early days, and... I believe some of the ways they tried to push it then are now seen as a bit distasteful, now? Like one drive where they invited D&D players to upgrade their game by giving them a free Exalted book in exchange for their D&D book? I don't know the full details of it. Honestly, comparing the two isn't exactly easy, since the two games feel different enough that it's like comparing apples and oranges. Disclaimer: In favor of fun and enjoyment, but may speak up to warn you that you're gonna step on a metaphorical land mine Kingdom of One Originally posted by God_of_Awesome View Post I've heard Exalted described as the anti-D&D. Any backing to that? How might you think that's good or bad? It's an outdated and mostly pointless gimmick description. What people mean is that it's a wuxia fantasy environment that tries to avoid standard Western fantasy stereotypes. Demon-summoning is a relatively safe, more-or-less socially acceptable practice, and using demons to help you have babies isn't really a big deal and doesn't result in evil corrupt children, for example. Knights in heavy armor are exotic and foreign. People have long, flowery names that sound like poetry. Saying a game is "anti-the most successful game ever" isn't really a compliment. It makes it sound like it's trying too hard. Exalted doesn't try too hard. It's just doing its own thing. D&D often doesn't touch the same myth material that Exalted does, but nor does it completely shy away from it in some supplements. How does the Coastal Wizard's approach to that stuff differ, and how might it be the same, to the Wolves In White? Good and evil aren't objective in Exalted, and they are in D&D. Identically in both games, many players won't let that stop them or force their hand either way. Hell is bad in Exalted and D&D. Demons are sometimes okay in Exalted. Demons are very rarely okay in D&D. Both settings have the 'demon doesn't want to demon any more' exception that pops up on occasion. Exalted is wuxia. D&D can be wuxia. D&D is Western fantasy adventure, with zombies, dungeon-crashing, and hostile dragons. Exalted can be those things. Also, we Onyx Path now. White Wolf runs the World of Darkness, formerly the Classic World of Darkness, formerly the Old World of Darkness, formerly the World of Darkness. Onyx Path runs Exalted and the Chronicles of Darkness, formerly the New World of Darkness, and some other stuff. Any crossover material? How well does that work out? Exalted designer Robert Vance, prior to being an Exalted designer, wrote the immensely popular Black Rain discipline as a (standout) contribution to the thousand homebrew creations centered around D&D's kinda-wuxia-kinda-Western Tome of Battle expansion. Black Rain is very evidently Exalted in theme and naming conventions. Black Rain was a discipline (martial arts style) for gunslingers, and people with wands who wanted to wand people in the face, and included a lot of really cool ideas, like a strike (Charm) that let you line up powerful high-accuracy shots by visualizing concentric azure rings drawing down on your target. Now, look from Black Rain over to Righteous Devil Style in Third Edition. Xefas did a bunch of disciplines for D&D based on Exalted supernatural martial arts and the Yozis, who are re-imagined as a kind of, what's the blanket term for evil outsiders. I don't remember. Fiends? There's a ton of other crossover if you go looking for it, although more into D&D than into Exalted, in part because D&D just always had that sure-let's-kitchen-sink-this-thing homebrew culture and Exalted, by dint of leaning so heavily on the depth and vision of its setting, tends to be more insular in its fanmade stuff. Exceptions exist. Taking ideas from one game to the other mostly works out fine. Taking themes is harder unless you restrict it to nations in Exalted, or do the opposite and make it part of the whole game theme in D&D. How do you like both next to each other? Compare and contrast pros and cons. D&D 3.5 and Exalted 2E are both terrible, but we love them anyway. D&D 5th Edition and Exalted 3rd Edition are both great, and have fixed many-but-not-all of the things that were wrong with the previous edition. D&D is simpler and cleaner, both in mechanics and in stereotypical gameplay experience. Exalted is richer and more complex. Those are both pros and cons.

Originally posted by Kingdom of One View Post I'll even speak in defense of 4th Edition. It was a fun and functional system, I've played a VARIETY of classes in that system, and never once did I feel like the load. AnubisXy D&D vs Exalted? I remember this. Graduate Your Game. But seriously, I've gotten some good use out of old D&D material in my games. There have been a few Ravenloft kingdoms I basically dropped into my Exalted campaign as shadowlands kingdoms. The Scarred Lands setting (not from WotC but published for 3rd edition D&D) also has some amazing stuff that can fit well in Exalted like Hallowfaust. The big difference between Exalted and D&D was that Exalted was embracing a highly cinematic, anime/wuxia vibe whereas D&D was more of a staid, tactical miniature game with a heavy focus on good versus evil. But, that was a long time ago. D&D has changed quite a bit in the last 2 editions, so the two games aren't as different as they were 15 years ago when Exalted was first released. I enjoy Exalted a lot, but I have a huge nostalgia factor for old D&D and settings like Spelljammer, Dragonlance or the Forgotten Realm's. I'm playing in a Pathfinder game right now with new people for whom it's their first RPG, and I'm wondering how to get them into Exalted. I find that 3rd edition is a very tight system, but can seem totally overwhelming for players new to RPGs. Adding a few points onto a d20 is a lot easier than counting successes in Exalted, especially with rerolls, exploding successes, Charm vs. non-Charm bonuses, etc. Last edited by AnubisXy; 12-22-2015, 09:47 PM. The last time we saw anything resembling that attitude was the "upgrade your game" promotion which happened when 4th edition came out, most people at the time agreed it was stupid and were more likely to make Dungeons and Dragons players write off White Wolf as elitist than buy Exalted.

Trade in your D&D PHB for the then-new Second Edition core book. Because, somehow, D&D is kid stuff, and Exalted is, like, the real game, man. Yeah, it was super awkward and it nearly soured me to the whole game when I first saw it. Made worse by being launched like a week after Gary Gygax died. Last edited by TheCountAlucard; 12-22-2015, 11:16 PM. semicasual If I was going to pick any game to be "most unlike D&D," my first choice would be Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine. The setting is thin, the system is character focused, and the mechanics are diceless. White Wolf has a long standing tradition of trying to subvert everything it uses. In Exalted, this is expressed through a concrete effort to look at the sociological characteristics of gods/religions/myths, moreso than the raw story material. D&D, in the meantime, generally just copy-pastes stuff and puts on enough stats for you to kill it. You can move a surprising amount of magic items between settings with very little effort. Plus there's DarkRanger's conversion project - I'd like to see how that playtests. D&D is fun. I find it works best as a strategic game, where you work out how to solve puzzles, win battles (which, in the context of a tactical battle system, are another kind of puzzle), and build your character into an ever-more efficient adventuring machine. It kinda falls apart when you try to be a socially-oriented character, however, and most of the tools you have to work with are very limited by design. Exalted is engaging. It works best as a narrative game, where you shape a story in a big and complex world with an extremely versatile set of tools. You're not pushed to make optimal choices - in fact, it's more fun if you don't, because it's easier to build drama that way. That said, it's not an easy game to pick up and run with. The system is about as math-heavy as D&D is, but with the added challenge of carrying a lot of lore. On the frontier of the Wild South, there's only one woman with the grit to take on its most dangerous outlaws and bring them Back Alive, or Maybe Dead. Avatar by K.S. Brenowitz Murcushio Good and evil aren't objective in Exalted, and they are in D&D. This is only kinda-sorta true. At the meta level, yes, D&D has always rigorously separated things into good and evil. Exalted has been much less rigid in that regard; the Incarnae are a lot less unambiguously good than, say, Pelor and Moradin are, but still portrayed as mostly the good guys, as are their Chosen. In-setting it is a lot less "objective." The powers that be in most D&D settings that label themselves "good" and "evil" have a set of values they enforce and there mechanical effects within the setting that essentially "scan" you for your moral outlook on life and then react accordingly... but the universe itself really doesn't judge you for anything, only a whole bunch of beings whose ability to do so is entirely based on their ability to enforce their moral outlook through... well, through force. If you decide you don't like how Moradin and Pelor are doing things it is 100% possible to simply murder the fuck out of them and institute new rules. If you don't like that Asmodeus is squatting in the Nine Hells and making things shitty for everyone, you can do the same. The closest the setting comes to an objective enforcement of values is that when alignment-detecting spells exist, I'm not sure there's ever a way, no matter how powerful you get, to stop them giving the "objective" return on you. (There are ways to stop them from giving a return at all, but that's different.) Alignment has also never functioned as mind control; most beings in D&D have free will and can do as they like. And it's worth noting that in 5E, while alignment is still important for Paladins and Clerics, it is in fact impossible in that edition to determine objective morality in-setting, as the Detect Good and Detect Evil spells no longer exist. There are spells with those names, but they don't actually function as a morality scanner anymore; you can tell if something is a devil, and you can know that most devils are generally bad, but that's as far as it goes. The primary difference between D&D and Exalted for me is that D&D is a game about small-unit tactical combat in hostile environments that's heavily focused on resource management and clever battlefield thinking, whereas Exalted is a more full-bodied RPG that is designed around narrative punch and aesthetics. Exalted has a ton of systems that are meant to help you underpin a game that involves doing stuff other than wading into a hostile environment and kicking the shit out of it. D&D does include social systems and systems for running giant battles or managing empires, but they're usually less well-developed. And here's the thing; there's nothing at all wrong with that. D&D delivers an experience that is, in my opinion, superior to Exalted when it comes to assembling a small team of heroes and going out into dungeons, dragon lairs, ancient ruins, the off-plane strongholds of demon lords, etc. and having dense, granular, tactical combat in them because literally the entire engine is built around doing that. Exalted's combat system at least attempts to be narrative; D&Ds really doesn't, it is 100% about resource management and positioning and careful use of spells and leveraging small advantages over the course of many die rolls into big advantages and finding synergies between powersets.

__label__cc	0.622548	0.377452	The problem are the men… A talk with Carlos Libedinsky and Miguel Di Genova () Tango – Neu gemischt und interkulturell Das Problem sind die Männer – ein Gespräch mit Carlos Libedinsky und Miguel Di Genova () For the first time two masterminds of electrotango joined their musical forces: Carlos Libedinsky (founder of “Narcotango”) and Miguel DI Genova (head of “Otros Aires”) played a real magic concert in Berlin. Mona Isabelle, head of the famous “Tangoloft”, had the idea and asked them to play in her venue. Third man was Diego Ramos on piano, who often cooperates with the award winning singer Omar Mollo. Carlos and Miguel have been so friendIy to grant me an interview. We talked about present, tradition and future of tango and why its the men, who need so much security for dancing. Of course i also asked them for the future of this summit. In the german version of this text you can find some aditional videos. What did you think first, when Mona Isabelle asked you to play togehter with Carlos in her Berlin Venue “Tango Loft”? Miguel: My answer was spontaniously: Yes, because we had allready some kind of cooperation. Two weeks before Monas Question I started making Visuals vor one of Carlos’ concerts. Before that we had played at the same festivals. Therefore i found it kind of natural – but sure not many people. Before that surely nobody had the idea to make this connection. Carlos: I liked it a lot. It’s not so common for Miguel to make visuals for other people. But we wanted to experiment together. I have got a studio in Buenos Aires, where you can stick together with thirty people. So there was room for our work. But that was a different thing with different roles: One was the musician, the other one the light artist. Now you are working together as musicians – not like in the Golden Times of Tango, when some of the old masters played in the orchesta of another bandleader. Now you are cooperating on the same basis. Carlos: For us things where very natural and easy. Mona everytime likes something new in Tangoloft. When she had told us her idea, we began to exchange messages. But the most important thing was, that we had Diego. Diego Ramos is the pianoplayer – the one in the middle, who is connecting your different, perhaps opponent styles. With his left and right hand on the white and black keys he pulls them together. Miguel: Well, if you want, you can call it like that. Carlos comes from the melodies and the harmonies and i am coming from the rhythm. Its a bit like Paul Mc Cartney should play “Sympathy for thedevil” and Keith Richards has to play “Let it be…” (Both are laughing) Miguel: Thanks for the flowers. Anyway, two different styles had to com togehter. And it happend by the help of Diegos Piano playing and the bridge of your open minds. Miguel: Not every pianist would have been able for that purpose. Diego was the right man, because he knows tango, and rock, and jazz and blues. What was the most important Problem mixing your styles? Miguel: For me it was the guitar-part. Because my harmonies, the harmonies of Otros Aires are very simple. Carlos is used to much more complex harmonies. So you had to worke a bit, Miguel. Did you regret the idea of cooperating sometimes? Miguel: No. I was prepared. Carlos: He sent me his playlist. I sent him mine. First we identified the songs, we both wanted to play apart and then those wish we would play together. Miguel: We had to change the image and the energie of the songs of both groups we put together in the concert. In the public of the concert at “Tangoloft” i saw several people, i never have met there before. Do you think, you succeeded in connecting the different tango-scenes? Miguel: We hope – because it’s nessecary. When we want the tangoscene to grow, we need both: The tradition and the new things. Otherwise tango will die. Both legs are important for its future. Carlos: But we can claim to be a part of the tradition too. “Otros Aires” and “Narcotago” have been founded about a quarter of a century ago. Many of our songs are classics. Some days ago i played with Mariano Castro in Italy – mainly from the reportoire of “Narcotango”, not very much of my Solo-Projct “Fueye”. We made five albums with “Narcotango.” Most people danced to titles of the first two. But when we play (examples, please!)…, many of the dancers sat down. Only few times i’ve got the feeling, people are open for the more experimental music. In the traditional scene very often the people sit down, when they dont know the titles. I can’t understand that… Well, traditionalist dancers use to say: I have to listen to a song many times before i am free to impovise dancing on the music. Miguel: To be fair: The problem are the men. Women dance to every kind of music. They don’t care, if they know the song. They have to like it. Men are looking for security. Most of them need to know a song well, before they dare to dance . Carlos: My last time in Buenos Aires i used to play in venues, where they mixed tango and contact improvisation. In those places i felt free to play what ever i wanted. People there are absolutely open for any kind of music. The dancers are very intimately related to the music they hear. They dont expect anything of the musicians. They say: Give us your Musik and we’ll give you our dance. Miguel: Some people take it too seriously. Well, it’s not like flying an aeroplane. You just have to dance! Famous Maestros of the international show-circuit, even Nuevo-Dancers like Chicho Frumboli, you can see on Youtube dancing on classical musik like Claude Debussy – but not to elctrotango. Miguel: They did it some years ago. But not anymore. Can you explain why they stopped doing that? Carlos: I don’t know. Its a misytery. You’ll have to ask the maestros Perhaps they take music, they assume that their pubilc will like… Miguel: I personally can’t understand, why people all the time want to dance to the same old music. But i think, that its all about security. And speaking of the professionals: Perhaps we’ll have to wait for new, for younger maestros. Carlos: I personally see, that the traditionalism is coming to a limit. In the milongas there are so many people mixing so much different music. There are more and more neolongas – some even inBuenos Aires. But i see so many young dancers, who strictly prefer classic tangomusic of the Golden Age. Miguel: : Perhaps it depends on their teachers. What they say, their students think is tango. Carlos: But sometimes its musicans like us, who keep them dancing – because they dont want to listen all the time to this oldtime music often in bad technical quality. I often hear: I only could continue with tango because of your music. That makes me hope. Some years ago, the open minded people in tango spoke of tango and non tango in their milonga. Now DJ ElioAstor, the king of neo, says: Every kind of contemporary music, you can dance to in tango-embrace, is neo tango. What do you think? Miguel: Well, when people like to experiment – it`s okay to me. I find it good, because it makes the dancers more free. When they play music in a milonga, thats no tango, it’s okay to me – as long as it has, what i would call “tangofeeling”. But personally i would prefer to distinguish: This ist tango and this is not. The gap, that devides the international tangoscene between traditionalists and, lets say “neos” – is it becoming smaller or wider? Carlos: I can say nothing about that, becuse i am not connected with the traditional scene. When i come to a milonga like that, it makes me so… Miguel: … depressed. Carlos: That’s it! What are youre favorite musicians of the old times? Miguel: Many of them, because i like it, when there is mixed music in a milonga – old and new. If you ask me for naming names: Osvaldo Pugliese und Astor Piazzolla! But especially i like the singers – most of all Alberto Castillo and Roberto Goyeneche. Carlos: Ifeel very connected with Anibal Troilo , the bandoeonista. And of the orchestas i like those playing a slower tempo like Pugliese and Carlos Di Sarli. The romantic ones. And there is a Bandoneonplayer, who ist still alive: Dino Saluzzi. He comes frome folkmusik and now he plays modern tunes with many jazzmusicians. But let me add one thing: I don’t want to talk so much about the past. What i like most, is bringing together the two of us: Miguel and me. Our music may have different energies – but that´s an advantage. So people, who listen to us, will have… Miguel: … a wider range Carlos: Thank you. When Miguel sent me his playlist for our concert in Berlin, i immediatly started to improvise with his songs. I soon felt very related with this stuff – and soon i got the feeling, that this will not be a single event. 25 years ago we made a revolution in our tango – after 50 years, where there was no really new music in the millongas. Now i am strongly convinced that the day of our Berlin concert was a historical day for our scene. Perhapys… but first one could say, two old men, who have seen better days, are throwing their things together. When will there be a new project – more than a top of the pops of “Narco” and “Otros”? Miguel: (laughing) First it would be a bit unpolite to say something like that. Second: If you reallly listened to the music in our concert, you could hear, there was a bit more than the old stuff, played in a new combination. Even we by ourselves learned a lot new about our own music. Carlos: Our Concert was a great fun and fluid. We came to play a bunch of songs with great energy. We are allways looking for something, which keeps us fresh to go on tour. This was a Message for the tangoscene: There is something new to hire! We already had some talks with people, who want this show for their venues. Miguel: A new plant will need some time to grow. And dont forget: Carlos and i manage different instruments. We’re not two singers or two guitarists or bandoneon players. I am writing lot of lyrics… many things are possible. When “Otros Aires” started the project “Balkan Airs” we even didn’t know each other personally. Every thing went by E-Mails and it took three years. But Carlos and you knwo each other and you have started to work together personally. Miguel: Yeah. But still he stays in Berlin most of the time, and we are in Buenos Aires. And we both have our different tour-schedules. But we don’t have to start with an entire album. First we could produce, let´s say, one new song together. Even big things start little by little.

The contract is worth a reported $6 million per season according to Tom Gulitti of the Bergen Record and takes away the ugly possibility that Schneider could leave as an unrestricted free agent after the 2014-15 season. Now, with Martin Brodeur almost assuredly out of the picture in New Jersey, the Devils have their new No. 1 goalie solidly in place. Brodeur remains an unrestricted free agent, but with Devils General Manager indicating that Keith Kinkaid will be given the chance to be the backup, and with Scott Clemmensen back in the organization, there is really no need to have Brodeur return. The veteran has said that he will take his time and survey the NHL landscape this summer in order to find a good fit for what he sees as his final NHL season. Since the Devils acquired Schneider from the Vancouver Canucks for a first round draft pick at the 2013 Entry Draft, the transition in New Jersey's goal has been under way. Schneider, 28, clearly is the present and future for New Jersey.

My grandfather passed away before I was born, and although we never met, he has always been a fascinating figure for me. He was from Samarkand, Uzbekistan, but after losing his entire family during the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, he immigrated to Turkey, bringing his shamanic beliefs and cuisine along with him. I recall one evening when my mother and uncle shared memories of their father in my uncle’s kitchen over an intriguing, deep steamer, in which huge dumplings stuffed neatly with hand-chopped lamb and beef with a bit of tail fat – my grandfather’s recipe – were delicately arranged and left to cook for many hours. And I remember that sublime first taste of these dumplings – the festive, mouthwatering flavors that invoked happy pastoral scenes in my mind. It felt as if I was finally meeting my grandfather for the first time, and his Uzbek mantı became my favorite food on earth.

A life of great musical interest; one filled with an unbelievable talent that would become a beacon to many throughout the European continent and span centuries past its lifetime. It is a life that would become centered around a great mystery of how the musical talent would blossom into a recognized and celebrated gift; a life that would alter the musical landscape and the spiritual worship realm in a short 24 days, and a life that would become so influential that it would dictate musical compositions for many years afterwards. A musical life that in the beginning would find itself struggling to exist; a life that will be forever known in George Frideric Handel. It is through Handel that we credit many great musical accomplishments; accomplishments in the mixture of homophonic and polyphonic textures, through the creation of his own unique works through the process of combining German, Italian, French, and English musical traditions into his highly successful English Oratorios. And most importantly through the lasting effects of Handel’s single greatest gift to the world, and the world of music: The Messiah. But how does the work of this single musician leave such a strong impression on the music that we have today? What could possibly make the music of Handel something that would be hailed as electric, memorable, unique, and even cutting edge? And most importantly how could one person alter the musical idiom through a single twenty-four day creation of a setting of Christ’s life? Through these questions I will explore Handel’s impact on music in a way that shed’s light onto the significance of Handel as a musician, a teacher, and inventor and as a religious preserver. It is with Handel that we credit a great deal of musical advancement. Adversity in Handel’s life was something that he encountered early on in life. At an early age Handel found himself faced with a father that did not support a career in music, in fact his father was a person that greatly hated music; noting that it was a pastime that served the sole purpose of casting a light on the weakness of character found within a person. It was his father that wished he would strive to obtain a career as a lawyer, a position that would come with a great deal of security in position and financial stability. This was something that Handel himself would have to come to terms with, because he himself was born with «signs of a fierce ambition, born of an awareness of his superiority as a musician, and with a determination to maintain his independence.» This determination to advance his musical skill became a task that took a great deal of hard work and convincing; though it was Handel’s mother that provided access to a clavichord hidden in the family’s attic. The hours spent hiding from his father in the attic, covering the strings of the clavichord with cloth to dampen the sound, allowed young George the time to practice his musical development and eventually the knowledge of how to play both the clavichord and the organ. This early study is most likely what saved the musical career for Handel, because it was during the time stuck in the attic that a young Duke passing by heard young George playing in the attic and was so moved by what he heard, that he stopped to listen. After hearing young George play the organ, the Duke pleaded with George’s father to allow him to travel to Berlin and begin to take music lessons. The young Handel began taking lessons at the age of eight, and was easily able to conquer learning the violin, composition and theory techniques, harpsichord, and reinforce the organ playing skills. By the age of 11, there seemed little that any music teacher could teach George; it was at this point that George’s father began angry and again expressed his desire for George to cease playing in the music, and to return home and do as he wished. Handel at the request of his father did in fact return home, only to arrive at his father’s deathbed. This was a dark period of struggle for the young Handel, compelled to honor his father’s wishes, George decided that it was best to keep to his studies in law; though during this same time he continued to also sharpen the musical skills that he knew he possessed. It was during this time that Handel began to write cantatas for the various churches that he was serving in as an organist. It was the service in music that called out to Handel, and by the time he reached the age of eighteen, Handel had realized that it was in fact his destiny to become a great musician noting that he was destined to improve his musical abilities and his knowledge of music.[…] Dj EDM Music themes Music wordpress themes Party Post formats JAGUAR997 Read more posts from JAGUAR997 4 Questions About The Music Industry You Should NOT Be Asking Is Music the Key to Success?

The quasi-static method is most widely used to measure this constant. There are often differences in measurement results obtained using commercial instruments. A quasi-static measurement system was established with a dynamic force sensor, traceable to the primary standard. Factors affecting measurement were systematically studied, including the pretension force, the dynamic force, and the electrode shape. In order to obtain stable measurement results of the piezoelectric constant, the static force should be more than 10 N and the dynamic force no less than 0.1 N. Relatively more accurate measurement results of the piezoelectric constant were obtained using an electrode with a smaller spherical radius to clamp the piezoelectric material. Calibration of commercial longitudinal piezoelectric measuring instruments is discussed. The parameters to be calibrated should include the dynamic force, the static force, and the measurement error.

Performance Comparison Between B-71 and B-81 Bone Conduction Headphones ZHAO Zhengyi, ZHONG Bo, HE Longbiao, JI Fei, LIN Ying, TIAN Feng 2021, 65(11): 11-13, 28. doi: 10.12338/j.issn.2096-9015.2020.9019 A measurement system for bone conduction headphone acoustic parameters was designed to explore the advantages and potential applications of new bone conduction headphones in audiology tests. The maximum output intensity and harmonic distortion of two commonly used bone conduction headphones, i.e. B-71 and B-81, were compared at five listening frequencies. At the same maximum output intensity, the harmonic distortion of B-81 headphones at four frequencies in the range 250 Hz to 2 000 Hz was significantly lower than that of B-71, and no significant difference in the harmonic distortion of B-71 and B-81 headphones was observed at 4 000 Hz. B-81 headphones were better than B-71 headphones in terms of both the maximum output intensity and the harmonic distortion, especially in the low and middle frequency bands. The test results show that B-81 can be used instead of B-71 in audiology-related tests.

This is a promising method for determining prescription dose in clinical applications and reducing the uncertainty of clinical radiotherapy dosimetry. By introducing the conditions and methods for directly measuring the absorbed dose to water under different kinds of radiation, part of the experimental data based on TRS-398 report measurement method is summarized.

The direct measurement method for absorbed dose to water meets the uncertainty requirement of clinical dose outputs, i.e. less than 5% (k=1). These results provide a theoretical basis for updating the method of dose output measurement in clinical radiotherapy.

An Electrical-Substitution Based Measurement Device for Nonlinearity of Laser Power Meters XU Tao, ZHAO Yaru Nonlinearity is the main characteristic of thermoelectric laser power detectors, which represents the change in the detector response under different power, and has an important impact on the measurement accuracy. Based on the electrical substitution method, this paper studies the measurement method for response nonlinearity of laser power detectors at several watts to several hundred watts. An electrical calibration device was developed that can automatically measure electrical calibration responsivity under different power levels. Different from the common constant-voltage mode or constant-current mode, the device has a constant-power output mode, which can significantly improve the stability of loading power for electric calibration heaters with a large temperature coefficient. In the study, two electrical calibration laser power detectors were fabricated based on two kinds of ceramic heaters, and the response nonlinearity of the electrical calibration was measured. The results showed that for the MCH ceramic heater with a large temperature coefficient, the loading power instability under the constant-power mode was 0.025%, which is much lower than 2.0%, i.e. the instability under the constant-voltage mode. Due to the higher power stability and the automated measurement process, the evaluated uncertainty of the measured electric calibration responsivity was better than 0.10% in the power range 0.49 W to 189 W, which was an improvement on the accuracy of the nonlinearity measurement of electrical calibration.

Analysis of a Structure Design of Skin Friction Sensors Based on FEM CHEN Jianing, YIN Ruiduo, MA Binghui, XIAO Yao, MU Congcong, XIE Xiaobin Skin friction is a major part of the total resistance an object encounters when moving in a fluid. Due to the difficulty in theoretical analysis and the diversity of flow fields, direct measurement of skin friction is needed in various applications. This paper introduces a design of elastic body for strain-type skin friction sensors. A mechanical analysis of the sensor was carried out. The analysis showed that the radius of the sensor’s hole, the spacing between the parallel beams, and the thickness of the connecting beam are the main parameters affect ing the performance. Then representative combinations of the parameters were selected using the orthogonal experimental method. The strain distribution in the patch area was calculated by using FEM. New parameters were defined to coordinate conflicting optimization goals. The influence of each parameter was analyzed to determine an optimal combination. An Auxiliary Device for Large Weighing Mass Comparators CHEN Lu In the daily use of large weighing mass comparator, there are often large data fluctuation, reduced accuracy and easy damage of sensor. It is found that during the use of the mass comparator, the application of the corresponding weight lifting method will have a great impact on the use of the mass comparator.

In order to solve the above problems, an auxiliary device of mass comparator is designed, and its application effect is analyzed. It is found that the application of the device can greatly improve the repeatability of weighing, reduce the measurement error caused by eccentric load, reduce the data drift and improve the accuracy.

Uncertainty Evaluation for Measurements of Detrimental Intermetallic Phase in Duplex Steels PAN Mengzhong, ZHAO Jin, MA Dengde, ZHANG Yajun, QIU Zhonghong, LIU Hailong, YAN Haitao The influence of detrimental intermetallic phase in duplex steels on their toughness and corrosion resistance can be detected by the ASTM A923-2014 standard ferric chloride corrosion test method, with the value characterized by corrosion rate. This paper analyzes the uncertainties due to the weight, length, width and thickness of the samples before and after the corrosion. The uncertainty components were calculated and then combined to obtain the expanded uncertainty. Taking into account the expanded uncertainty and other factors, the upper limit of the acceptance criteria for the test method was chosen. In order to eliminate the detrimental intermetallic phase and finally improve the product quality, proper heat treatment is needed on the samples exceeding the upper limit. The results showed that the detrimental intermetallic phase of 2205 duplex stainless steel was (3.9±1.4) mg/(dm2·d), with a coverage factor k=2. The upper limit of the acceptance criteria for this test method was chosen to be 8 mg/(dm2·d).
