Manufactured by PhenQ, the Complete Meal Shake is a product that is meant to replace regular meals. PhenQ Complete Meal... Manufactured by PhenQ, the Complete Meal Shake is a product that is meant to replace regular meals. PhenQ Complete Meal Shake formulation is intended to provide users with the necessary fats, protein, vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients to provide the nourishment users would get from their regular meals, and it’s keto-friendly. PhenQ Complete Meal Shake contains 24 potent plant-based ingredients such as vitamins and minerals and polyphenols, MCT oil, adaptogens, antioxidants, and vegan protein. These 24 ingredients focus on giving you better control over your appetite, increasing your energy, and keeping you slim. Some individuals use meal replacement shakes to replace their regular foods. Due to time constraints, some people decide to have a meal replacement shake instead of actual meals. PhenQ Complete Meal Shake is a meal replacement shake that claims to help consumers burn fat, control their cravings, and remain energetic at all times. Features of PhenQ Complete Meal Shake PhenQ claims that consumers manage food cravings and efficiently manage their body weight by taking this complete meal shake. The company promotes the product as having the following features: 100% plant-based nutrition 24 Key vitamins & mineral Healthy fat Ingredients in PhenQ Complete Meal Shake (400) InnoSlim® 250mg Panax Notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus are two natural plant extracts that make up this pharmaceutical-grade blend that promotes weight loss. Research indicates that InnoSlim, a revolutionary ingredient also found in PhenQ Complete Meal Shake, may help people lose weight by increasing the activity of the fat-burning trigger, AMPK. It may also help consumers cut down on calories and feel fuller for longer. KSM— 66 Ashwagandha® 300mg Clinical studies have indicated that the highest quality Ashwagandha reduces stress and anxiety levels by almost 33% and reduces the urge to eat when stressed. Additionally, it boosts muscular strength by nearly 138.7% and endurance by 13.6%. Pea Protein 12gm Pea protein contains nine vital amino acids, including arginine, isoleucine, leucine, and valine. Pea Protein is said to contain a significant amount of iron. The composition of Pea Protein makes it equally as efficient as whey protein in promoting lean muscle growth. Pea protein, which is over 90% digestible, leads to more nutrients assimilating the body. Consuming Pea Protein doesn’t lead to stomach discomfort that is usually associated with common protein powders. MCT Coconut Oil 13gm This incredible oil enhances brain functioning while also assisting the body’s capacity to shift from using glucose to fuel the body to burning fat (ketones) for energy. This beneficial fat, informally known as “brain butter,” also contributes to increased sensations of satisfaction by reducing the production of hormones that stimulate hunger. Reishi Mushroom Extract 100mg This amazing and effective adaptogen is filled with powerful vitamins. It has a wide range of beneficial effects, including decreased weariness, increased energy levels, better brain functioning, and healthy glucose levels. Reishi Mushroom has been dubbed the mushroom of immortality. Linseed Flour 11G Linseed flour is a reliable source of vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, minerals, and fibers. And a whole slew of other micronutrients may be linked to the nutritionally sound flaxseed derivative. The flaxseed properties of linseed flour may include the treatment of inflammation, the improvement of digestive health, the normalization of bowel motions, the strengthening of cardiovascular health, and the control of hunger feelings. Hemp Protein 11G Hemp Protein is an underappreciated kind of protein. Hemp Protein is high in antioxidants, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. This protein has been found in certain studies to be comparable to the protein found in eggs. Research has shown that hemp protein may assist with digestion, weight loss, blood glucose levels, and decrease food cravings. Brown Rice Protein 1.5G Brown Rice Protein works with Hemp Protein and Pea Protein to give the kind of muscle-building capabilities whey protein. On the plus side, Brown Rice Protein digests better than Whey Protein and doesn’t cause stomach discomfort. This is because it is entirely plant-based. PhenQ Complete Meal Shake contains several other vitamins and minerals along with some other ingredients. These other ingredients include Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Calcium Carbonate, Calcium D-Pantothenate, Choline Bitartrate, Chromium Picolinate, Copper Sulphate, Di-Biotin Preparation, Di-Calcium Phosphate Anhydrous, DL-Alpha Tocopherol Acetate Powder Preparation, Fat Cocoa Powder, Flavoring, Ferrous Fumarate, Folic Acid, Magnesium Phosphate, Manganese Citrate, Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12), Nicotinic Acid, Potassium Chloride, Potassium Iodide, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Retinol Acetate, Riboflavin, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Selenite Anhydrous, Sucralose, Thiamin Hydrochloride, Vita-Algae D Vegan Vitamin D3 Preparation, and Zinc Aspartate. The Science Behind PhenQ Complete Meal Shake There was a time when dieting was for people who wanted to lose a considerable amount of weight. But the scarcity of tasty and healthy choices which leave diet enthusiasts pleased and joyful after eating them and the lack of time even to prepare any of the recommended healthy meals is something that sets diet enthusiasts off. In this age and time, who wants to spend so much time in the kitchen in the name of preparing a nutritious and tasty meal? When we have many inexcusable obligations, and so many options are available to us, it is pretty understandable that we find it hard to cook nutritious meals that satisfy our appetite and provide enough nourishment while meeting our dietary requirements. Fortunately, we may now have in our hands a delightful product that meets all of our nutritional requirements and also contributes to our weight loss efforts, all thanks to the experts at PhenQ who have formulated this science-driven product. ALSO READ: Dentitox Pro Reviews – What to Know First Before Buying! The AMP-activated protein kinase, or AMPK, is the name given to the switch that facilitates the burning of stubborn fat. The unique enzyme attacks stubborn fat and signals to the body that it should be eliminated. The AMPK can be regarded as a high-intensity mechanism that burns fat. When it is activated, its inherent energy aids in stimulating cell metabolism, resulting in fat burning. Our body has these fat-burning mechanisms that work at all times, but research shows that as we grow older, the rate at which AMPK functions decreases significantly. As a result, losing weight becomes harder, making it almost impossible to get our desired physique. PhenQ Complete Meal Shake is said to assist in reigniting the declining rate of metabolism and promote healthy AMPK activation, resulting in a significant increase in inherent fat-burning capacity. Benefits of PhenQ Complete Meal Shake Substitute A Meal A single serving of PhenQ Complete Meal Shake contains 24 essential vitamins and minerals, vegan protein, and healthy MCT oil, which supplies the nutrients needed to maintain peak performance. The nutritional contents of this product may make it a perfect replacement for a meal. Even if you forget your lunch pack somewhere or you are wary of all the unhealthy meals around you, PhenQ Complete Meal Package may be ideal instead of staying hungry most times. Helps In Reaching Weight Loss Objectives InnoSlim, a scientifically proven fat-burning blend, is one of the core ingredients in PhenQ Complete Meal Shake. A serving of this meal shake contains just 269 calories. InnoSlim contains compounds that are thought to assist in weight reduction and promote better living. Research shows that InnoSlim may help increase AMPK levels in the body, which triggers the body’s natural fat-burning mechanism. This helps the body’s weight loss objectives, particularly in the abdomen region. Manage Hunger Cravings With its adequate protein content, MCT oil, and added ingredients including Ashwagandha, fiber, and reishi mushroom, PhenQ Complete Meal Shake is a filling product that promises to suppress hunger.

The Benician living part-time in Mexico and his wife, Jane, have been hit hard by the virus. (Courtesy photo) Vallejo Times Herald, by Richard Freedman, December 31, 2020 In his 70 years, Earl Miller survived the repercussions of drug addiction, heart attacks, a stroke, knee replacement, and gastrointestinal surgery. Never, he said, he did want to die more than from the COVID-19 misery he’s suffered since around Christmas along with his wife, Jane. “I thought we were done for,” Miller said. “We had it so bad the first week, I thought death would be a better alternative. It’s no joke. My lungs felt like they were going to explode. My eyesight is all messed up. I hurt all over; every bone in my body. I am dizzy and can’t stand up and I wake up completely drenched from a fever. My head felt like it was going to explode. Then there’s the diarrhea, alternating between feeling like throwing up.” Earl and Jane Miller get house calls from a doctor wearing haz-mat gear at their home in San Pancho, Mexico. (Courtesy photo) “Every minute,” Miller continued, “I thought I was going to die.” A colorful longtime Benician spending December at their second home in San Pancho, Mexico, Miller realized all was not well when he developed a “metallic tasting mouth,” accompanied by headaches, runny nose and respiratory distress. COVID-19 symptoms hit Miller’s wife first. It was Christmas when she got tested “so we had to wait an extra day” for the results, Earl said. “They told Jane she was positive. Two days later, I came down with exactly the same symptoms. I knew I had it,” said Miller, never one to doubt the seriousness of the virus. “I did everything not to get it, but we let our guard down for one moment,” Miller said. “For five months, I was so safe. I’ve been scared of this thing since day one. With all my diseases, I thought for sure if I got it I would die and that would be the end of it.” Unfortunately, the Millers had a visitor from the U.S. for four days. “On the last day here, he felt sick and went home,” Earl said. “He called and said he tested positive. The next day, Jane came down with it and couldn’t get out of bed. As I said, you want to die. It came on so fast. It’s just the worst.” Miller compared it to getting the worst possible flu “when everything hurts. Now multiply that times 20 with a headache that’s 10 times worse than a migraine.” Thanks to intravenous liquids, sleeping pills, pain pills, and breathing inhalers, Miller believed Wednesday that “we are on the mend.” On Thursday, Miller thought otherwise. “We took a turn for the worse Wednesday night,” he said on a FaceTime call Thursday morning. “We are still going through it, as it seems we both woke up a few steps backwards this morning.” During the call from San Pancho, Miller said his chest still hurt and he gets dizzy. That wasn’t the case Wednesday. “I felt so good, I went swimming,” he said. “My doctor told me, ‘You can’t swim. Water will get into your lungs and you’ll die.’ So I stopped swimming. We can’t even take a shower.” Miller said his wife felt “75 to 85 percent” better over the weekend but “took a nose dive” and was still asleep early afternoon Thursday. Jane and Earl Miller contracted COVID-19 via a visitor from the United States to their home in San Pancho, Mexico. (Courtesy photo) Miller was last in the Bay Area four months ago, having his knee replaced at Kaiser Permanente Antioch Medical Center. “Now my knee is the only part of my body not hurting,” Miller said, managing to laugh. One shining light through the seemingly endless agony: A nurse who Miller called “my angel.” “It turns out she was a missionary who works with poor Indians in the mountains and has spent the last 11 years giving her time learning to be a nurse and doctor so she can help them,” Miller said. “That’s my new cause. When this is over, I’m going to help her any way I can.” Miller, founder of the defunct Reach Out Benicia drug counseling nonprofit for youth, returns a handful of times a year to Solano County to visit friends and pursue real estate sales. He and his wife built tourist-based “Roberto’s Bungalows” in San Pancho in 2011. The town of 1,500 is 33 miles north of Puerto Vallarta. They sold the property and recently built a new inn a few miles up the road. “Here we are in paradise and we can’t enjoy it,” Miller said, acknowledging a lesson in gratitude. “More than 350,000 died from this, thousands are suffering, and I’m worried about my pool not being 90 degrees,” he said. Miller said he would get vaccinated as soon as possible if he could have prevented this “feeling that you want to die.” Those who refuse to wear masks or take other COVID-19 precautions? “I think it’s a pity. I really do. I think it’s selfish,” Miller said. “I think that somewhere along the lines something went wrong with their mental capacity to love others. It’s about us not spreading and killing someone’s mother, father, grandmother, grandfather or best friend. It’s about saving people’s lives.” Though Miller can’t celebrate the New Year on the beach with local friends and other “gringos,” he said he’ll be happy to just survive. “It’s been a rough year,” he said. “I think in 2021 we’ve got to step back and stop hating each other and start loving and caring for each other. I think there’s still time to save lives.” Again, said Miller, “wear a mask. It doesn’t hurt. Get a funny one. Get one that looks like me.” beniciaCoronavirus COVID 19Earl Miller	cc/2022-05/en_middle_0087.json.gz/line4
__label__cc	0.506621	0.493379	Thesis abstract ‘Beyond the Divide: A New Geoarchaeology of Aboriginal Stone Artefact Scatters in Western NSW, Australia’ Home ⟩ Blog ⟩ Thesis abstract ‘Beyond the Divide: A New Geoarchaeology of Aboriginal Stone Artefact Scatters in Western NSW, Australia’ Patricia Fanning PhD, Macquarie University, Sydney, March 2002 Surface scatters of stone artefacts are the most ubiquitous feature of the Australian Aboriginal archaeological record, yet the most underutilised by archaeologists in developing models of Aboriginal prehistory. Among the many reasons for this are the lack of understanding of geomorphic processes that have exposed them, and the lack of a suitable chronological framework for investigating Aboriginal ‘use of place’. This thesis addresses both of these issues. In arid western NSW, erosion and deposition, accelerated as a result of the introduction of sheep grazing in the mid-1800s has resulted in exposure of artefact scatters in some areas, burial in others, and complete removal in those parts of the landscape subject to concentrated flood flows. The result is a patchwork of artefact scatters exhibiting various degrees of preservation, exposure and visibility. My research at Stud Creek, in Sturt National Park in far western NSW, develops artefact and landscape survey protocols to accommodate this dynamic geomorphic setting. A sampling strategy stratified on the basis of landscape morphodynamics is presented that allows archaeologists to target areas of maximum artefact exposure and minimum post-discard disturbance. Differential artefact visibility at the time of the survey is accommodated by incorporating measures of surface cover which quantify the effects of various ephemeral environmental processes, such as deposition of sediments, vegetation growth and bioturbation, on artefact count. While surface stone artefact scatters lack the stratigraphy usually considered necessary for establishing the timing of Aboriginal occupation, a combination of radiocarbon determinations on associated heat-retainer ovens, and stratigraphic analysis and dating of the valley fills which underlie the scatters, allows a two-stage chronology for hunter-gatherer activity to be developed. In the Stud Creek study area, dating of the valley fill by OSL established a maximum age of 2040±100 yr BP for surface artefact scatters. The heat-retainer ovens ranged in age from 1630±30 yr BP to 220±55 yr BP. Bayesian statistical analysis of the sample of 28 radiocarbon determinations supported the notion, already established from analysis of the artefacts, that the Stud Creek valley was occupied intermittently for short durations over a relatively long period of time, rather than intensively occupied at any one time. Furthermore, a gap in oven building between about 800 and 1100 years ago was evident. Environmental explanations for this gap are explored, but the palaeoenvironmental record for this part of the Australian arid zone is too sparse and too coarse to provide explanations of human behaviour on time scales of just a few hundred years. Having established a model for Stud Creek of episodic landscape change throughout the late Pleistocene and Holocene, right up to European contact, its veracity was evaluated in a pilot study at another location within the region. The length of the archaeological record preserved in three geomorphically distinct locations at Fowlers Gap, 250 km south of Stud Creek, is a function of geomorphic dynamics, with a record of a few hundred years from sites located on channel margins and low terraces, and the longest record thus far of around 5000 years from high terrace surfaces more remote from active channel incision. But even here, the record is not continuous, and like Stud Creek, the gaps are interpreted to indicate that Aboriginal people moved into and out of these places intermittently throughout the mid- to late Holocene. I conclude that episodic nonequilibrium characterises the geomorphic history of these arid landscapes, with impacts on the preservation of the archaeological record. Dating of both archaeological and landform features shows that the landscape, and the archaeological record it preserves, are both spatially and temporally disjointed. Models of Aboriginal hunter-gatherer behaviour and settlement patterns must take account of these discontinuities in an archaeological record that is controlled by geomorphic activity. I propose a new geoarchaeological framework for landscape-based studies of surface artefact scatters that incorporates geomorphic analysis and dating of landscapes, as well as tool typology, into the interpretation of spatial and temporal patterns of Aboriginal hunter-gatherer ‘use of place’.

__label__wiki	0.637239	0.637239	Bristol Commentary Bristol Campaign Against Tower Blocks BristolNoTowers A critical decision-point for Bristol ‘Urban Living’ is a policy document being introduced by Mayor Marvin Rees. This is a misguided attempt at solving the housing crisis by removing most restraints on tower blocks. It threatens to transform Bristol from a mid-rise European-style city to a high-rise North American-style city like Houston or Toronto. Councillors should reject it. Bristol’s tall buildings policy At the turn of the new century a wave of tall buildings was being built across the UK, specially in London. In the face of this, and with the memory of the social and structural problems that had emerged from the high rises of the 1970s still fresh in people’s minds, opinion in some historic cities became alarmed, and tall buildings policies were developed. In Bristol, the Supplementary Planning Document No 1 (2005) was produced, followed by the adoption of similar policies in Edinburgh (which have saved Edinburgh’s skyline). SPD1 was designed to discourage tall buildings (though this was not explicitly stated). The policy was clearly labelled a tall buildings policy, and was very thorough (68 pages long). An important aspect was reliance on the framework of protecting historic assets, views and conservation areas. Not only are drawings and textual descriptions given of views that must be protected, but these are extraordinarily extensive, and in several parts of town it is actually suggested that it would be desirable to remove existing tall buildings. Only 3 areas are endorsed as suitable for tall buildings – Broadmead, parts of Old Market, and Temple, and even then endorsement is highly qualified by the desirability of protecting views, and protecting conservation areas. The historic environment SPD1 judges the historic environment to be highly important. This means that under SPD1, tall buildings were unlikely to be approved in many sites in the city centre, and in many other locations. In addition, where a tall buildings application was made, applicants were required to submit alternative plans for achieving the same density through a mid-rise and low-rise developments: Entire areas of the city were straightforwardly ruled ‘inappropriate’ for tall buildings: Harbourside Base of St Michael’s Hill The guidance was clear, unambiguous, and not hedged about with caveats (pp 52-55). The following collects the areas where tall buildings were deemed inappropriate: Other areas were said to have ‘only limited opportunity for tall buildings’: Old City -but SPD1 recommends removal of Grey Friars and Froomesgate House (p50) St Michael’s Hill – only one high rise possible, an iconic building at the top of the hill (p 53) In other areas it was also suggested that existing tall buildings should be removed: West End – ‘preference for removal of existing tall buildings’ South Redliffe – post-war towers should be removed (p46) Clifton – removal of Clifton Heights Tower Block recommended (p48) Which left only three areas of the City centre judged well-suited to tall buildings, and then only so long as views and conservation areas were protected – Broadmead, parts of Old Market, and Temple. For instance the document expatiates at some length on the need to avoid over-shadowing Temple Meads Station, or Old Market’s conservation areas and historic assets. A map was produced of area where tall buildings might be considered, with blueish areas judged possible – Temple, Broadmead, and parts of Old Market, plus the city centre loop and gateways to the city, plus one iconic building on St Michael’s Hill – but this is subject to many caveats about proximity to historic buildings, conservation areas, and the need for designs for future tall buildings to be of higher quality than existing ones (p19). SPD1 adds (p19): Protection of views The most powerful weapon in SPD1’s armoury was probably its sections on the protection of views. It is worth stressing how extensive these are (pp 17-27, 46-51, 56-59, (i.e., 21 pages) and the contrast with short and decidedly ambiguous section on views in the successor document, Urban Living (4 pages). Tall buildings should not be located so as to damage: [1] Views out of the city (pp 22-23): [2] Views into the city (pp 20-21): [3] Views between one part of the city centre and another (pp 24-25): Extensive verbal descriptions were provided of these views, with many grumbles about awfulness of existing tall buildings, and the desirability of removing them. Many other design principles were provided in SPD1 which gave grounds for objecting to tall buildings. The reader is left in no doubt that tall buildings are disliked and mid-rise is preferred. The whole of SPD1 can best be understood as a determined attempt to stave off tall buildings, carefully providing Officers and Councillors with as many grounds as possible to reject tall buildings. Whether they did so was of course up to them, and recently this has increasingly not been the case. Urban Living – a sea change Bristol is now introducing a new policy, after a high profile call by Mayor Marvin Rees in his maiden speech to abandon restraints on tall buildings. The policy has been through a statutory public consultation process in which 85% of respondents, in the largest response in the city’s history, rejected all the sections on tall buildings. However despite a promise by officers to take the tall buildings sections out of SPD1 (promised at the June 13 Harbourside launch of the results in the absence of city planning head Nicola Beech), the sections on tall buildings have since been strengthened. The Urban Living final draft encourages tall buildings, and assumes that they will be widely built, with the result that a very much smaller proportion of the (anyway much-reduced as compared to SPD1) tall buildings discussion is devoted to providing grounds for objection. The document’s title (“Urban Living”) does not mention tall buildings, and it devotes to them only 11 pages (versus SPD1’s 68), burying them within other material. This treatment is obviously deliberate. The earlier sections of Urban Living contain so many laudable passages on design, people-friendly streets, outdoor spaces, sizing of homes, etc that the thoughtful and positive tone may lull the unwary reader into believing that little has changed. On the contrary, everything has changed. It is now much harder for Councillors to find policy grounds on which to base rejection of an application for a tall building – and much easier for developers’ consultants to argue that their building is policy-consistent. It would be a dim developers’ consultant who could not use the Urban Living policy grounds to support almost any tall building application, given that tall buildings are now encouraged in virtually any location in the city. Unsurprisingly, there has been a dramatic recent increase in tall buildings proposals and applications, given the status of Urban Living as ’emerging policy’ to which councillors should pay attention. High rise proposals as at September 2018: Planning permissions granted: 26 storey residential tower on the southeast edge of Castle Park (Former ambulance station) (Nov 2017) 22 storey residential tower in Redcliff Quarter, towering above Finzels Reach (30 Nov 2016) Projects in discussion: Two 20- and 22-storey residential towers on Bedminster Green. Three residential towers of 11, 18 and 25 storeys on Arena island, plus two student residential buildings of 10 and 12 storeys for Temple Meads Campus 10 blocks of up to 24 storeys on the site of the planned Arena in Temple Island 20 storeys on Silverthorne Lane, near Temple Meads station 16 storeys on Bath Road, Totterdown 14 storeys in Thomas Street, Redlcliffe 8 and 12 storeys in Temple Circus Blocks B and C 11 floors in Taviner’s Buildings Prewett Street Rumours: Various developments on the north side of Castle Park (Wine Street), with rumoured heights of 14-18 storeys. Possible high-rise city, Chinese investors willing, in the Cumberland Basin. Tall buildings will be encouraged where…. The word “encourage” was never once used in relation to tall buildings in SPD1, except disapprovingly about Birmingham (p4). In Urban Living tall buildings are “encouraged” in a critical set of paragraphs (pp 50-51) which carry most of the weight of Urban Living’s policy guidance on tall buildings: effectively such guidance has been shrunk from 68 pages in SPD1, to a few brief paragraphs in Urban Living. A map is provided (p23). Its meaning is obscure as no ward boundaries are indicated, but we are told that hyper-density (not defined) is possible in St Philips, Avonmouth, Hengrove Park, land released through the Green Belt, Hick’s Gate, Filton, and some former PIWA sites and there is ‘significant potential for intensification’ in Bedminster Green, Temple Quarter, City Centre, and some former PIWA sites. Presumably all are judged high-riseable, given that Bedminster is within them and the city is pushing hard for high rises in the midst of Bedminster’s quiet Victorian suburbs. The reader will notice that the reasons for encouraging tall buildings are very widely drawn: The encouragement of tall buildings is illustrated thus: A development like Little Paradise in Bedminster would easily pass on these criteria; it is massive, has lots of lower level buildings in addition to the towers, is near to public transport, within reasonable distance of a range of local facilities, and arguably would create landmarks (what tall building wouldn’t?) and improve the legibility of the city (again, what wouldn’t?). Given the importance of Views as a reason for objecting to high rises in SPD1, it may be argued that Urban Living retains a certain amount of material about long-range views. However the (small) relevant section (p51) asks only whether the tall building ‘makes a positive contribution to the long-range, mid-range and intermediate views to it’, i.e., it does not mention harm done to views being a ground for objection: The Appendix C referred to (pp 66-67) does not, in fact, provide ‘further guidance’ but is simply a list of landmarks, without any indication of what use is to be made of them. Should one site tall buildings bang in front of them? Or away from them? Urban Living gives little indication, though in the paragraph ‘Fig 8: Locational criteria’ there is the phrase that “A tall building should not be located where: – it has a detrimental impact on the city’s historic environment (see Appendix C)”. Detrimental means what? The reader may want to contrast this cursory treatment of views and the historic environment with the many pages devoted to the subject in SPD1, which make it absolutely clear that tall buildings should not be sited in view-lines, which are explicitly set out, with the proviso that even those are not exhaustive. Alas, in Urban Living these very few ambiguous statement are all there is, in terms of the provision of location and view-based criteria, for objecting to tall buildings. There are other grounds for objection, such as insufficient schools and transport, but these are not enough. The rest of the guidance frankly assumes that tall buildings are coming, that they will be built, and makes various remarks about them. Some are frankly fatuous. The Visual Quality section floats the idea that tall buildings are needed ‘to help people navigate themselves about the city’ (p53) which surely makes absolutely no sense in a city like Bristol with a dynamic topography and many existing landmarks. Many of the remarks are so vague as to be meaningless, such as “Proposals should consider how to exploit exciting advances in lighting, whilst limiting light trespass, and sky glow.” What does this mean? Not everything is so bad; the remarks about the base of tall buildings make sense (p53). But there is so little in terms of useful material for objecting to tall buildings per se that the general drift to encouragement overwhelms everything else – as is the clear intention. What action to take? Incorporate SPD1 wholesale into Urban Living High rises are usually seen as ‘merely’ an aesthetic issue. They are not. The case against high rises is strongly evidence-based, backed by the world’s leading urbanists such as Jan Gehl and the late Peter Hall. The case is based on both financial and health considerations. It also involves the city’s attractiveness, which impacts its tourist revenue and its capacity to attract high quality talent. For these reasons across Europe, rich historic cities have taken great care to preserve their classic profiles. If high rises are Marvin’s answer to the affordable housing problem, we are in trouble. A substantial body of research tells us of increased mental health issues for mothers with young kids and a general increase in residents’ social isolation, and rates of depression. It’s worth asking the architects and developers of high rise how many of them choose to live in one. Unsurprisingly – very few. These buildings are also considerably more expensive than mid-rise, so do not solve the problem of housing affordability. They introduce a new ‘demand-class’, investors, often foreign investors, attracted by the defensibility of high rise apartments with concierges when their owners are absent. These are not the people we should be targeting. These buildings will alter the feel of Bristol as a whole. Massive, overshadowing blocks will dwarf the beauty of our historic city to the detriment of an entire generation of Bristolians – and of our economic prospects. Urban Living is irredeemable as written, since its purpose is to encourage tall buildings. The best solution would be to incorporate SPD1 in its entirely into Urban Living, i.e., retain the improved building standards of Urban Living, while also retaining SPD1’s restraints ontall building. There seems no reason why the two cannot be combined. The title could be changed to: “Urban Living and Tall Buildings.” Until September 25 Urban Living is still in final consultation so could conceivably be improved. But it cannot be substantially altered without being re-consulted on, and that will not happen. Meanwhile it is important to submit your views. When it emerges in final form, presumably little changed, Urban Living should be called-in and rejected by Councillors, to encourage the adoption of a more moderate draft which better secures the city’s growth, more affordably, more healthily, without damaging this historic city’s USP by overwhelming it with tower blocks. (The Urban Living is ‘advice’ not ‘policy’, so it falls to the Mayor and Cabinet. The City Plan, which will follow and give clearer locational guidance for tall building, is ‘policy’ and will require adoption by Councillors, so is more suitable for a challenge) Source Documents: Supplementary Planning Document No 1 (SPD1) 2005 Results of the first consultation on Urban Living (2018) Urban Living – final consultation draft (August 2018) Author Matthew Montagu-PollockPosted on 2018-09-11 2018-09-18 Welcoming Councillor Nicola Beech The Bristol Campaign Against Tower Blocks runs a Facebook group, which Councillor Nicola Beech, Cabinet Member for Spatial Planning and City Design, joined on Wednesday. I welcomed her to our group: “I’d like to welcome Councillor Nicola Beech, who joined the Bristol Campaign Against Tower Blocks Facebook group on Wednesday. “And while you are here, Councillor Beech, I would like to take the opportunity to ask you a question! “You’ll be aware that the world’s leading urbanists such as Peter Hall and Jan Gehl are agreed that mid-rise cities are healthier, easier to live in, solve the problem of creating low-cost housing better, and have built forms in which residents have lower depression rates. You’ll know that mid- or low-rise housing is preferred by the overwhelming majority of ordinary people. You’ll know that Bristolians voted 85% + against tall buildings in the consultation on the Supplementary Planning Document. “We are all, I believe, puzzled as to why you ignored the consultation survey results And why ignore the consensus of modern urbanists? Do you disagree with them, or have you just not read them? I am genuinely puzzled, I just don’t understand. We’ve heard no explanation except this phrase about tall buildings expressing ‘ambition and energy’. Where do these ideas come from? Could you help us understand your intellectual underpinnings? “Surely what is needed on this issue is open debate?” Let us hope she replies. Please encourage her here: Bristol Campaign Against Tower Blocks (facebook group) Unlikely of course. Because what is extraordinary about this episode is how a small group of people – Mayor Marvin Rees, and councillors Nicole Beech and Paul Smith – have imposed a new policy with devastating implications for the welfare, appearance, and future prosperity of the city without any discussion. The Mayor never appears in open forums, never faces unscripted questions from the public – except in safe, strictly local community groups, where he can be assured of smiling faces and a photo-opp. On the big questions, he dares not face the public. He has put out a set of statements justifying his behaviour, essentially saying that he does not need to consult or debate with the citizens of Bristol, because he was elected to take decisions. This is not how citizens of democratic countries expect to interact with their leaders. We expect openness and communication. We expect support to be gathered for policies by their being explained and discussed. On tall buildings this has not happened. At present debate on the issue is being overwhelmed by the Arena question. But in the long run tall buildings will have a more profound impact on our city. It is vital they should be debated.

__label__cc	0.642758	0.357242	2 recorder players amidst a fusion of old and new. Juho Myllylä & Galit Zadok \| recorders Galit Zadok (Israel) and Juho Myllylä (Finland) began their collaboration as Duo Northeast while studying with Jorge Isaac at the Amsterdam Conservatory. Both shared the passion to enrich the surprising possibilities of two recorders coming together. The multi-cultural cooperation brought out a distinctive new approach to this musical journey. During their 2-year existence, Duo Northeast performed in The Netherlands, Finland and Switzerland, and collaborated with a range of musicians and artists, including soprano Milla Mäkinen, sound artists Jaakko Kulomaa and Matteo Nicolin, as well as composers Giorgio Tedde, Omri Abram, Marcelo Politano, Danai Belosinof and Vincent Arp. facebook.com/duonortheast Strain of Sound (2017) Contrast has been an element of central importance in musical composition throughout history. Drawing its inspiration from contrasts of all kinds in their diverse repertoire, Duo Northeast present a new concert programme Strain of Sound. The duo set on a search for striking contrasts within and between the works that range across different time periods, from the 14th century to 2017 – including two premieres of newly commissioned works. Centering around the combination of two recorders, this could mean underlining the differentiation and musical development by juxtaposing pieces written centuries apart of each other, as well as making use of the incoherence within the music as an interpretive device. On the contrary, the use of live electronics in both early and contemporary music bridges the centuries together, resulting in an indelible fusion of timeless sounds. Music by: Antonio Zacara da Teramo, Jacques Hotteterre, Omri Abram, Marcelo Politano, Danai Belosinof et al. North, East & Between (2015) North, East & Between is a mixture of medieval, renaissance and contemporary music with live electronics. Through the combination of two recorders, works written over the span of 700 years link to each other and appear in a new light. From the medieval groovy danceable tunes, via the rhythmically complex polyphony to western and non-western contemporary music, Myllylä and Zadok use this exquisite recorder literature to demonstrate the continuity between the centuries. Live electronics are being used variedly in means of both early as well as contemporary music.

Phonography Other Records by Britney Spears Britney Spears: Blackout (Jive/Zomba/Sony; 2008) By Danny Roca \| 10 December 2008 I loved Blackout—proper loved it. Before, I had no time for Britney or her various incarnations. The Mouseketeer Lolita that gave us “Hit Me…” and inspired a league of women to wear school skirts in clubs and do that hand-to-the-head-sideways-hair-flick dance move. The petulant womanager that gave us the anemic demands for respect “Overprotected” and “My Prerogative.” Not even her desperate clod-hopping genre chasing on “I Love Rock’N‘Roll” or “Me Against The Music” made me gave even the tiniest of fucks. The only time I paid any attention was with “Slave 4 U” and “Toxic.” Apart from those two killer tracks Britney never produced anything that had any bite, no matter how many purrs, mewls or vocal hiccups she used to disguise her limited range. Then, after her well-documented descent, she returns with “Gimme More,” a grinding electro dirge at slightly too slow a BPM to really classify as a dance jam, her vocals dry and sapped of her usual affectations. Seriously, brilliant: I’ve dropped it after Hot Chip’s “Over & Over” and watched people go ape-crazy. Best, for Blackout, it wasn’t a one-off. The stuttering “Piece Of Me,” the thrum of “Heaven On Earth” and the defiantly idiotic R&B of “Get Naked” all bizarrely boasted flat vocodored vocals. They’d be listless from another artist but after Brit’s career of hiccups and giggles and autotunes they sounded revolutionary. It seems, in hindsight, that Britney + Producer – Britneyisms makes for a great formula. Even the title, Blackout, suggested that in her fame-doused stupor she had managed to arrive safely without really needing to be there. It was the album equivalent of drinking nothing but peach schnapps for twelve hours and waking up at home, in bed without having soiled yourself, lost your wallet or fucked something unfortunate. It was, in short, truly magical. But now we have Circus, and I’m already annoyed. For example, halfway through the second track, we get this: “There are two types of people in this world. Those who entertain and those who observe.” Oh, fuck off. Shambling performances and public meltdowns are hardly entertainment (except for those with a bet on Deadpool). She seems, after everything, completely unaware of herself. She believes she’s the top attraction but in truth the album should have been called Sideshow. Those that followed her story rabidly on TV, after all, weren’t doing so out of loyalty to her but like a crowd at a car crash, and even then she was one-upped by fresher messes like Lindsey Lohan and Amy Winehouse. Still, that’s in the past—let’s see what back-from-the-brink Britney’s like. In short, not so good. “Womanizer” is instantly unlovable. That play-sexy purr is back but that’s not what galls. Since nothing from her personal life has remained personal, the song’s sentiments just sound dumb. Who’s she singing about? That paparazzi with the goatee that even a mother wouldn’t love? That charmless opportunist is a “Womanizer”? But, meaning aside, even though the song is melodically bereft there was a hypnotic quality about “Gimme More” and its lolloping beat. “Womanizer” replaces that with a skipping chirpiness that tips it straight into annoying. And that’s the problem with Circus as a whole. Essentially, Britney’s back, she’s connected to the material and…she’s annoying. Bizarrely, it’s with “sexiness” where Britney really struggles. Where Blackout‘s sexuality was rooted in its grubby beats and seethed with the kind of perversion Xtina could only really showboat about, Circus panders on a type of sexuality seldom seen outside of ’70s B-movies. The baffling “Mmm Papi” is, despite layers of moans and groans, too cutesy-cutesy. It’s like she’s struggled back into her “Hit Me..” schoolgirl outfit and baby-talks. Besides that, there’s a vaguely-racist Latino impersonation at the end of the track, which makes the whole song a grubby affair and, were I straight, decidedly limp-making. There’s also a song called “Lace And Leather.” With slap-bass. FFS, COME ON!!! Although Pink’s “So What” wins the award for most-alienatingly narcissistic song of the year, “Kill The Lights” comes awfully close. “Is that money in your pocket or are you happy to see me?” coos Britney. True, you could argue that “Piece Of Me” has precisely the same sentiment, but, whereas that song was delivered with a tossed-off flippancy, “Kill The Lights” is delivered with gusto. “I don’t give a damn what you think of me” is pretty hard to believe from someone trying so hard, and Britney, if nothing else, tries hard. There’s a song called “If U Seek Amy.” Was “See You Next Tuesday” already taken by Fred Durst or something? So, Britney’s back with a brand new anti-Midas touch. In the past few years she focussed on and fucked up her personal life. Now, by involving herself in her music again, she’s managing to fuck it up as well. Circus is a saddening step back to her glossy yet unengaging In the Zone era, which is a shame. The only standout is the woozy, flange-guitared “Blur.” Showing off a disarmingly soulful vocal, it sets the tone for a great come-down album that could have been. It’s a shame she didn’t have the guts to make that album. That really would have caused a media circus.	cc/2022-05/en_middle_0087.json.gz/line47

Better Time Other Records by French Kicks French Kicks: Swimming French Kicks: Two Thousand French Kicks (Startime; 2004) By Sean Ford \| 14 November 2007 Reviewers are lazy. There, I said it. It's only natural, I suppose, that with the proliferation of online review sites, there are now a bunch of twenty something kids writing two, three, maybe four reviews a week with only their spell-check, a beleaguered editor and a press kit to guide them as they try to think up clever metaphors and "feel" the music. That's the only explanation for a society of music commentators who doggedly compare band X to the older, cooler, more obscure band Y. It's become something of a staple of music reviews everywhere to loudly proclaim: "This band is influenced by those wacky post-punk sounds of 1978-1983, but they add some interesting electronic elements!' Please, kids. We need to take your asses to a creative writing workshop in the East Village or something. Now, every blessed review I've ever read of the French Kicks has crammed them into the scene known as New York. Reviewers seem content to compare the Kicks to the Strokes, Interpol and the Walkmen, throw in an eighties reference or two, then think up a clever introduction about that time when they were really pissed off about their dead end job and are just plain tired of how these motherfucking skinny rich kids from New York get to have so much fun, and presto! The Critic has written their very own rock music review that mommy can pin to her refrigerator under her dancing cat magnets and show to guests. I was going to write that review, or better yet, just post a bunch of links to the dozens of lazy-ass French Kicks reviews out there. Instead, why don't I just tell you what the French Kicks sound like? "One More Time," the album opener, kicks off with a high hat that builds into an energetic and melancholic love song. Warm keyboard swells, soaring synths, percussion and an odd effect that sounds like a phone being dialed really quickly complement lead singer Nick Stumpf's earnest crooning. One thing instantly noticeable this time out is how much higher in the mix Stumpf's voice is; it makes the songs far more intimate and suits the band's newly romantic outlook. To compare this man's unrepentant croon to Julian Casablanca's disaffected bored sneer is simply laziness. Please don't let anyone fool you into thinking they have anything in common. The Trial of the Century is a love letter. Far more unabashedly romantic than One Time Bells, the Kicks have let go of any lingering desire to be a rock band and are warmly embracing new wave style pop a la the Cars or New Order or Elvis Costello. As former labelmates the Walkmen were able to out grow retro garage rock and grow their sound into something fuller and more realized, the Kicks seem to be spreading their own wings. Again, that's not to say they sound like the Walkmen; while the Walkies sound a lot like early U2 these days, the Kicks are developing something a little different. The title track, for instance, features what I believe is a bell intro and a heart wrenching minor chord guitar riff. The warm, sad rhythm is punctuated by crisp rapid fire drumming while Stumpf intones: "Don't know what/ It can be hard to say/ That's the sign of a better time/ And the hours they go in front of me/ Remind me how it used to be/ And you go down in the grass with me/ The hours of choking sent you me/ I thank you." This isn't the Strokes, it's more the like the yearning of Cindy Lauper (in a good way...I mean, right?). Whatever the case, the broken heart lyrics are expertly complemented by the crisp twinkling keyboards and minor chord yawning guitars which swell and swirl beneath. "Following Waves" and "Only So Long" are two more similar soaring pop gems. The French Kicks may be sad, skinny rich boys trying to make it in a city full of happy, skinny rich boys, but they happen to be quite good at their craft. And they happen to be doing something quite different than most of the other New York bands they get lumped with---making souful, romantic pop songs. The French Kicks have seemingly all been through a pretty rough break up sometime recently, as the mood recalls Beck's lovelorn Sea Change or the Postal Service's Give Up. The Kicks have crafted a record full of pop gems about breaking up, wanting to get back together, mistakenly getting back together and breaking up again.

__label__wiki	0.57402	0.57402	Case Title Human Rights Watch v. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Prisons District Southern District of New York City Foley Square Judge Judge J. Paul Oetken Plaintiff Human Rights Watch Case Description Human Rights Watch submitted 10 FOIA requests to the Bureau of Prisons and five FOIA requests to the National Security Division at the Department of Justice for records concerning individuals charged or convicted of terrorism. The NSD informed Human Rights Watch that it had referred its requests to BOP. Human Watch had a number of discussions with BOP concerning the requests, but it finally filed an administrative appeal. After hearing nothing further, Human Rights Watch filed suit. Complaint issues: expedited proceedings, improper withholding, disclosure of all records, attorney's fees Defendant Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Prisons Complaint attachment 10 FOIA Project Annotation: In a ruling that continues a recent trend to expand the meaning of law enforcement records to include records that might affect security, District Court Judge J. Paul Oetken has found that the Department of Justice properly applied Exemption 6 (invasion of privacy) and Exemption 7(C) (invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records) to withhold information that might provide more detailed data on both prisoners accused of terrorism-related crimes and the treatment of American Muslims in prison. Oetken also ruled that a small subset of records was protected by Exemption 3 (other statutes), but allowed the government to redact public references to the statute and to identify it with an in camera affidavit. Human Rights Watch made ten requests to the Bureau of Prisons and five requests to the National Security Division at DOJ for information about the total number of individuals charged with or convicted of terrorism offenses, their pre- and post-conviction facility placement, and their detention in certain especially restrictive environments. DOJ disclosed more than 600 pages with redactions. Human Rights Watch challenged the agency's response concerning spreadsheets containing information on inmates housed in Communications Management Units at federal prisons in Marion, Illinois, and Terre Haute, Indiana. Two spreadsheets listed inmates at the prisons with an emphasis on ethnic background and offense conduct. Some data elements had been redacted, including an inmate's Security Threat Group assignment and the offense conduct giving rise to the STG assignment. The other spreadsheet listed inmates at the CMUs as of November 25, 2013 and included 20 columns, many of them overlapping with the other two spreadsheets, including "reason for CMU referral." BOP had redacted columns for inmate associations, comments by prison officials, and STG and Case Management Coordinator status, which reflected the prison's decision that an inmate presented special needs for management, such as the need to be separated from a particular group. Human Rights Watch also challenged redactions in internal memoranda regarding Special Administrative Measures the Attorney General could request to limit inmate communications that might disclose classified information or facilitate acts of terrorism. Another disputed category pertained to requests from inmates to prison staff for Islamic religious accommodations along with staff responses. BOP had redacted such information as inmate job assignments, and inmate cell assignments, as well as BOP staff user IDs. BOP also redacted information from two "Key Indicators" documents, which pertained to CMU capacity. Finally, BOP redacted information it considered non-responsive to Human Rights Watch's requests, including requests from prisoners that did not reflect Islamic religious accommodations. BOP also redacted as non-responsive the total institutional capacity, the special housing unit capacity, and changes in CMU capacity for the two prisons. Oetken indicated that if BOP's records qualified as law enforcement records Exemption 7(C)'s less-demanding standard applied and Exemption 6 would not have to be considered at all. While there is a considerable amount of case law on what constitutes a law enforcement record, the only case the government cited was Williams v. FBI, 730 F.2d 882 (2d Cir. 1984), for the proposition that BOP records are per se compiled for law enforcement purposes. Oetken rejected that broad reading, observing that "to the extent that Williams stands for that broad proposition, the Second Circuit has not repeated it in the last thirty years and the Government cites no case from this district applying it." Instead, Oetken seized upon two recent D.C. Circuit decisions�"PEER v. U.S. Section, International Boundary and Water Commission, 740 F.3d 195 (D.C. Cir. 2014) and EPIC v. Dept of Homeland Security, 777 F.3d 518 (D.C. Cir. 2015)�"as support for the proposition that law enforcement records could include any records used for security purposes. The most troubling aspect of the PEER and EPIC decisions, however, is that they are totally based on Justice Samuel Alito's concurrence in Milner v. Dept of the Navy, which, legally, represents nothing more than Alito's personal opinion. Calling this interpretation a "broader, commonsense understanding of 'law enforcement purposes,'" Oetken acknowledged that it "need not and does not embrace all BOP records." He added that "to acknowledge that 'law enforcement purpose' defies rigid formulation, then, is not to allow all information about BOP administration and procedure to satisfy the Exemption 7 threshold." Assessing the Exemption 7(C) balancing test, Oetken gave considerable credence to the mosaic theory. In finding that the inmates had more than a de minimis privacy interest in the data redacted by BOP, he pointed out that "anyone who knows that a particular individual is in a CMU�"a current or former inmate, a friend or associate, and in some cases members of the public�"may be able to identify the inmate's row of the spreadsheet based on the already-released information, like citizenship and sentence. . .[E]ven though the information sought does not identify an inmate by name or number, a reader could put together the mosaic of information about each inmate, identify them, and learn other personal information about them. . ." Human Rights Watch cited ACLU v. Dept of Homeland Security, 973 F. Supp. 2d 306 (S.D.N.Y. 2013), in which the court rejected the agency's attempts to withhold potentially-identifying data about a pool of 22,000 immigration detainees. Oetken pointed out, however, that "here, in contrast, there are roughly 50 people in each of the two CMUs. The concern that someone might review the list of 50 people in a CMU and identify an individual person's row of information is not only plausible, but substantial." Oetken agreed with Human Rights Watch that the public interest in disclosure of such information was significant. But he pointed out that "this step of the inquiry focuses 'not on the general public interest in the subject matter of the FOIA request, but rather on the incremental value of the specific information being withheld.' Human Rights Watch has not adequately shown that incremental information on STG status, associations, and CMC status is itself significant." He indicated, however, that the "Comments" column "likely contains some nonexempt information segregable from exempt information. . .Presumably, some information in the column falls within the privacy exemptions, but some does not." He ordered the agency to provide an unredacted version of the "Comments" column for in camera review. Oetken then evaluated the SAM memoranda, finding the privacy and public interests similar to those at stake in his assessment of the CMU data. Explaining that the inmates had a privacy interest in the reasons why they were subject to SAMs, Oetken noted that "as with the CMU spreadsheets, the more information particular to a given inmate is released, the likelier it is that the inmate in the memo can be identified and linked to the descriptions and measures in the memo." Oetken recognized that there was a significant public interest as well. He observed that "to be sure, release of that information may help the public better understand the SAM program's operation. But Human Rights Watch has not articulated why the information released is incrementally valuable, beyond concerns that the extant information is too vague and a general statement of its use in 'further investigations.'" Oetken found that disclosure of the U.S. Attorney's Office that handled each case was in the public interest. He observed that "Human Rights Watch has described a specific public interest in identifying patterns in the way SAMs are requested by certain U.S. Attorneys' Offices. Release of this information will help the public understand 'what' specific institutions of 'the Government is up to'�"specifically, which parts of the Government are seeking SAMs and how often." But Oetken warned that his decision to disclose another data point changed the privacy balance accordingly. He pointed out that "having ordered release of the U.S. Attorney's Office information because of the strong public interest, however, the total mix of public information has changed. The likelihood of identification upon release of crime and sentence information is now greater, because the information could be paired with both the already released information and to-be-released U.S. Attorney's Office information." While he found some justification for redacting information from the religious accommodations requests under Exemption 6, Oetken agreed with Human Rights Watch that the organization had provided plausible evidence that Muslims are retaliated against in prison. He noted that "the public has a significant interest in investigating those reports. And in light of the higher bar for Exemption 6 redactions, it cannot be said that the invasion of personal privacy would be 'clearly unwarranted.'" The government had redacted the identity of a statute, which it identified for Oetken in an in camera affidavit, under Exemption 3. Oetken indicated that "the Court takens seriously Human Rights Watch's concern that the Government did not disclose even the predicate statutory provision it invokes to justify the exemption, preventing Human Rights Watch from challenging that invocation." After reviewing the in camera affidavit, he noted that "the Court also agrees with the Government that redaction of the statute requiring the withholding is justified." Finally, Oetken agreed with the government that portions of records pertaining to requests for accommodations other than for Islamic religious purposes were non-responsive and could be withheld. He disagreed, however, with BOP's redactions of "total institution capacity" and "special housing unit capacity," indicating that "the redacted information 'reflects the inmate capacity' [of the prisons] and falls within the FOIA request." Issues: Exemption 7(C) - Invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records, Exemption 3 - Statutory prohibition of disclosure, Exemption 6 - Invasion of privacy, Exemption 7 - Law enforcement records FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in New York has granted the Justice Department's motion to reconsider the court's earlier ruling concerning the segregability of information in the comments column of the Historical Communications Management Unit Spreadsheet pertaining to inmates incarcerated on terrorism-related charges at federal prisons in Marion, Illinois and Terre Haute, Indiana, and after reviewing the records in camera has agreed with the Bureau of Prisons that the information cannot be segregated. Judge Paul Oetken had concluded, based on the government's affidavits, that some information was likely non-exempt. But after his in camera review, Oetken agreed with the government that "this information also implicates more than a de minimis privacy interest. Detailed information regarding offense conduct has a significant risk of being identifying, and the remaining information�"especially sexual misconduct and post-incarceration misconduct�"is information in which inmates have a pronounced interest in remaining private even if the risk of linking that information to them is small." Oetken found that "there is a set of information as to which the risk of identification is great, but the public interest is also significant. This information largely pertains to the movement of inmates�"the kinds of facilities in which they were housed before they arrived at CMUs, and the kinds of facilities to which they went after leaving CMUs.
