Home > About Us > News > Vision for City Dock have changed, but consensus still needed
Date: Capital Gazette, August 8, 2018, Capital Gazette Editorial Board
Three years ago we published a series of stories on the future of downtown Annapolis that has proven to be strangely prescient.
We explored the need for a new vision, one that not only celebrated the city center’s important architectural and cultural history but also its status as a unique open space.
We called for pushing parking off City Dock, creating a place that would draw residents from across Annapolis and offering something more than just a spot where tourists stroll.
We doubt Mayor Gavin Buckley was inspired by our stories. Rather we think our reporters and editors did what good journalists should do, capture a shift in the public mood. Buckley was elected as a change agent last year, and he’s focused his desire for the new on City Dock.
But as staff writer Danielle Ohl’s recent story found, City Dock has not been just one thing. Its history includes oil tanks and ferry landings, oyster shucking and ship repairs. City Dock has been the face of Annapolis through good times and bad, and there have been many attempts to improve it.
Buckley’s plan calls for a hotel built in cooperation with private property owner Harvey Blonder, then leveraging that partnership to create more green space. The mayor proposes zoning changes to make this happen, an idea Historic Annapolis and others fear would imperil the cultural legacy of the area.
So Historic Annapolis has commissioned a new study of the City Dock area, led by the Urban Land Institute in Baltimore, to find common ground. It will be the third institute study to take stock of the downtown waterfront.
We remain convinced that a new vision is needed for the heart of Annapolis. Part of that change must come in the form of physical redevelopment, driven not only by commercial realities but also by the threat of sea level rise and increased flooding.
But if the mayor is to succeed in advancing his plan for downtown, he has to find consensus. He’s adopted redevelopment of City Dock as a key goal of his young administration. Buckley will tell you that if nothing happens there in his four years he will consider his term a failure.
The mayor can’t bull through his proposed changes, or maybe he can. But the outcome will be far more lasting if he can win buy-in to the concept from the various stakeholders — preservationists, merchants and companies such as Watermark and Annapolis Boat Shows. It includes not only Ward 1 residents but also residents of all of the wards and outlying neighborhoods.
Leadership is more than just having a vision. Buckley has to convince his city to join him on the journey.
Add to Calendar 07-08-2018 35 Vision for City Dock have changed, but consensus still needed DD/MM/YYYY

The Sundance Film Festival is going completely virtual again
The Sundance Film Festival was gearing up for an ambitious hybrid event later this month, but those plans are now squashed thanks to the Omicron COVID-19 surge. Sundance is instead planning for a completely virtual event starting on January 20th, along with a handful of screenings in local markets. While disappointing, the festival's investment in a better digital platform last year puts it in a better position than other major events. (Looking at you, CES.) And of course, you'll still be able to check out the Sundance New Frontiers experiences in VR. Based on our experience last year, it'll be well worth it.
"While it is a deep loss to not have the in-person experience in Utah, we do not believe it is safe nor feasible to gather thousands of artists, audiences, employees, volunteers, and partners from around the world, for an eleven-day festival while overwhelmed communities are already struggling to provide essential services," Sundance Film Festival director Tabitha Jackson wrote in an e-mail to attendees.

Sundance’s ‘biodigital’ film festival will try to bridge the gap between VR and reality
Next year's Sundance Film Festival will mark a momentous return to Park City, Utah, after in-person festivities were cancelled last year. But Sundance isn't giving up on the digital platforms it used to stream films and bring cinephiles into a VR social hub last January. As part of its New Frontier exhibition, Sundance plans to expand The Spaceship, its virtual venue where attendees can chat together and explore VR and mixed reality art installations.
In an effort to connect Sundance's in-person attendees with its global online audience, the Festival will also launch a "Biodigital Bridge" in Park City. Shari Frilot, Sundance's Senior Programmer and Chief Curator of New Frontier, describes it as a human-scale screen where physical and digital attendees will be able to interact with each other. Developed together with the immersive studio Active Theory, the bridge will offer basic chat support, but it's mostly a way for Sundance-goers to see how other attendees enjoy the event.
Sundance New Frontier curator Shari Frilot.
Frilot says New Frontier has been pushing the concept of biodigital experiences for several years now, mostly through an exploration of how technology can intersect with our lives. Think of the way that an app like Uber, or even Google Maps, has reshaped the way we navigate physical spaces. But now that the pandemic has forced us to rely on our tech more than ever — Sundance wouldn't have been possible without it last year, after all — the term seems practically prescient. It's more than just a buzzword: Frilot says she's interested in exploring the technology that best serves humanity, or Team Human, as media theorist Douglas Rushkoff put it.
Last year, I found Sundance's online platform last year to be a fascinating way to explore the festival and interact with fans. The core of the experience is the aforementioned Spaceship, which allows attendees on computers and VR headsets to mull about together. On a laptop or desktop, it resembles a stripped down version of Second Life. You walk around as simplistic avatars, and if you choose, you can also flip on your webcam, which fills your avatar's head with a live video feed. Since Sundance's platform is built on WebXR, a way to deliver virtual reality over the web, you can enter that same space in VR by slipping on any headset and visiting Sundance's website.
Compared to SXSW's VR platform, which looked beautiful but mostly felt like a virtual wasteland, it was clear that Sundance got something right last year. After isolating for most of 2020, being able to see many of my cinephile friends in VR made last year's Sundance feel special. So for next year, Frilot says, the festival is going even further. The Spaceship will be upgraded with a new Cinema House, where attendees on computers and VR headsets can view events livestreamed from Park City, as well as room-scale discussions.
On the ground, Sundance will also have a new space called The Craft, which will let in-person attendees visit New Frontier exhibits, artist discussions and panels. There will also be VR headsets to use, though the festival is also encouraging people to bring their own gear if they've got it. Sundance hasn't finalized its list of New Frontier exhibits yet, but Frilot tells me many artists are optimizing for the Oculus Quest 2, so fest-goers can experience their work without being connected to a PC. But there will likely still be pieces that demand a serious VR rig. Sundance's famed Egyptian theater will also host some New Frontier performances, which will occur both on the ground and virtually on the Spaceship.
You'll need a $50 Sundance Explorer Pass to access all of these virtual goodies, which is double what it cost last year. It's a shame to see the price jump so quickly, but it's also reflective of the deeper commitment the festival is making in its digital platforms. Notably, the Explorer Pass is also open to people around the world, whereas Sundance's virtual screenings are limited to U.S. attendees.
"[The virtual platform] is not just this thing that we're trying, we're actually doubling down on this," Frilot says. "This points to the vital landscape of how cinema and storytelling is going to manifest [going forward]. We're here to not only contribute to it, but to meet it and support it."

Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including if you: have or have had bleeding problems; have plans to have surgery; had surgery on your face; weakness of forehead muscles; trouble raising your eyebrows; drooping eyelids; any other abnormal facial change; are pregnant or plan to become pregnant (it is not known if BOTOX® can harm your unborn baby); are breastfeeding or plan to (it is not known if BOTOX® passes into breast milk).
BOTOX is administered about every three months, and must be injected at the site of each nerve trigger, relaxing the surrounding muscles so that they won’t compress the nerve and trigger a migraine. It is a potent drug, and we only recommend using it if other preventative treatment options haven’t helped you. It is generally only administered to patients who have at least 14 headaches a month, or don’t respond to other treatments.
According to the PREEMPT injection paradigm, one injection of 5 units of onabotulinumtoxinA is administered to one site in the procerus muscle. The procerus injection site is approximately midway between the two corrugator injections. In order to confirm the location of the procerus muscle, the patient is asked to furrow the brow, which will activate the belly of the muscle causing the medial furrowing to occur. Once identified, 5 units of onabotulinumtoxinA is injected superficially into the belly of the muscle at a 90° angle to ensure the injection is administered into the procerus rather than the frontalis. Injections placed too superiorly may inadvertently lead to penetration of the frontalis muscle.
The recommended dilution is 200 Units/2 mL, 200 Units/4 mL, 100 Units/1 mL, or 100 Units/2 mL with preservative-free 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, depending on volume and number of injection sites desired to achieve treatment objectives (see Table 1). In general, no more than 50 Units per site should be administered using a sterile needle (e.g., 25-30 gauge) of an appropriate length. Localization of the involved muscles with electromyographic guidance may be useful.
It's safe to say that the mouth is the clearest giveaway of work done too early. Youthful lips tend to have substantial volume and turn up naturally at the corners, meaning the best strategy for flattering them often comes down to a good signature lip color. For women who remain self conscious about the size or symmetry of their lips—think a slightly lopsided appearance, for instance—Botox can be injected into the orbicularis oris muscle along the lip line as an alternative to lip fillers. "When certain individuals smile, the lip flips in and they lose that upper volume," says Dara Liotta, a New York City-based plastic and cosmetic surgeon. "This relaxes the outer layers of the circular muscle around the lips and looks much more natural than filler." Additionally, injections along the jawline—or more specifically, the masseter muscle—have risen in popularity to relieve stress-induced jaw clenching and have also been known to refine the area. "A lot of people hold tension in the jaw area and when you relax that muscle, the chin comes out of the shadow of your lower lip,” explains Liotta. But the best advice of all? Forget about those self-perceived imperfections and smile. You're only in your '20s once.
Botox is an injectable drug made from a toxic bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. When you eat the toxin produced by this bacterium, it causes a life-threatening form of food poisoning, known as botulism. But when you inject it into your body, it causes different symptoms. It blocks certain chemical signals from your nerves, causing temporary paralysis of your muscles.
García Leiva specified that this treatment "is not a first-choice treatment for migraine sufferers, but it can only be applied in patients with chronic migraine who have tried several treatments with poor results, and who show peripheral sensitization of muscles. Recently, the Foods and Drugs Administration (USA) has approved botulinum toxin as a therapeutical drug for the treatment of chronic migraine.
The overall cost of the injection is charged either at a flat rate or per unit. In terms of per unit, the overall cost of the treatment will depend on the total volume or a total number of units used in the procedure. But service charged at a flat rate depends on the area to be treated. The most expensive area is around the underarm for treating hyperhidrosis.
Significant improvements compared to placebo in the primary efficacy variable of change from baseline in daily frequency of incontinence episodes were observed for BOTOX® (100 Units) at the primary efficacy time point at week 6. Increases in maximum cystometric capacity and reductions in maximum detrusor pressure during the first involuntary detrusor contraction were also observed. These primary and secondary endpoints are shown in Table 23.
Autonomic dysreflexia in patients treated for overactive bladder due to neurologic disease. Autonomic dysreflexia associated with intradetrusor injections of BOTOX® could occur in patients treated for detrusor overactivity associated with a neurologic condition and may require prompt medical therapy. In clinical trials, the incidence of autonomic dysreflexia was greater in patients treated with BOTOX® 200 Units compared with placebo (1.5% versus 0.4%, respectively).

Hawksford: "How to Open a Bank Account in China"
The China-Italy Chamber of Commerce is glad to share an article published by its Member Hawksford: "How to Open a Bank Account in China".
How to Open a Bank Account in China
Given the lack of full convertibility of China’s local currency, the Renminbi (RMB), most of the challenges that foreign businesses still face in the Chinese market are related to banking.
With the adoption of the RMB among the reserve currencies in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) safety basket and plans by China’s Central Government to turn Shanghai into Asia’s top financial centre, what is the framework that foreign-invested enterprises face when doing business in mainland China?
Can I open a corporate account in China with a foreign corporate entity?
Businesses that aren't registered in China can open non-resident accounts (NRA), which entail regulations usually restricting a large majority of uses that are available in other jurisdictions.
The lack of full convertibility of China’s RMB and the approval system under the State Administration of Foreign Exchange usually turns typically global solutions into bureaucratic hurdles that won’t suit the scope of foreign traders and business owners.
It’s worth mentioning that trading transactions for both imports and exports do not allow triangulations with goods entering or leaving the fiscal boundaries of the territory of mainland China with payments reaching or starting from local entities.
What’s the process and timeline for opening a business bank account in China?
The documents you need to open a business bank account in China vary from bank to bank and according to the company structure. You can expect to be asked for the following:
Proof your business is properly registered, such as a valid Business License, Tax Registration Certificates and Articles of Association
List of directors’ names, along with a company chop (stamp)
Proof of identification for legal representatives of the company, including responsible officers, directors and principal shareholders
Details of the company structure and ownership
Depending on the type of account required, you might need to provide evidence of the account’s purpose or further documentation. If you’re opening an account for a foreign-registered company or a joint venture (check our guide - How to Set Up a Joint Venture in China), then you may have to provide proof of state approval of your business venture.
As the process of opening a bank account varies according to the specific circumstances, it's always worth verifying checklists and papers to submit beforehand. Visiting a bank in a financial or commercial hub of a major city, where the staff have more experience in opening accounts for foreigners, can also make the process smoother.
Can I open a business bank account without coming to China?
Although it’s possible in theory to open a bank account without having to physically show up at the counter, recent measures by the State Administration for Foreign Exchange and the People’s Bank of China require the legal representative of foreign-invested enterprises to appear in person before a bank clerk who will have to certify that the individual’s appearance matches the picture on their original passport.
Global banking corporations with a presence in China and pre-existent relationships with your business in other jurisdictions might even make it possible to simply use previous signatory documents from the entity’s UBO or ask signatories and investors to come to the closest branch outside of China.
What should I consider when picking a banking institution for my entity in China?
Depending on your needs for lines of credit, your business peculiarities and operations, your company is presented with a choice of five major Chinese banks (Bank of China, ICBC, China Construction Bank, Merchants Bank and Agricultural Bank of China) or a selected number of foreign and international institutions with retail and commercial capabilities in the Chinese market.
Some international banks are still not recognised among those allowed to link their bank accounts to Alipay, which is vital when handling e-commerce stores on Alibaba’s platforms (Check our guide - Five Steps to Launching an E-commerce Presence in China).
The same applies to minor Chinese banks when facing labour-related contributions in selected cities, where transfers from only a few major banks are accepted. Just like when facing any other local challenge, it’s highly recommended to always come up with a plan with your local trusted partners and consultants before rushing into any decisions.
Among the foreign banks in China, the most typical examples are the following:
Banco Santander - Bank of Shanghai: UK, Spain & LATAM.
HSBC: Hong Kong, European and Commonwealth multinationals in need of a centralised e-banking system.
Société Générale, BNP Paribas - Bank of Nanjing, Crédit Agricole: France
Intesa Sanpaolo, UniCredit: Italy
Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, Nord LB: Germany
Citi Bank, Wells Fargo, Bank of America Merrill Lynch: United States
Bank of Montreal: Canada
Bank charges and accounts maintenance
With the set of rules established by the People’s Bank of China, banking fees and bank account compliance are very different from what applies to bank accounts in the West.
Given the fact that handling charges apply to domestic transfers reaching other banks, it’s important to try and select a banking institution for your basic RMB account or a general account that can also be used for your major suppliers.
The same applies to the bank of choice for your staff’s payroll, with it being rather normal to ask staff to open a bank account with the institution you bank with to simplify HR flows.
Operability and e-banking facilities
Given the early adoption of Fintech instruments such as Alipay and WeChat Pay, most of the business accounts available at Chinese and international banks active in mainland China come with online banking facilities, usually available in a full English version.
Operations are handled via two levels of clearance for whoever accesses the e-banking platform, namely one for operators and one for approvers. While those with the first level of clearance are only able to see balances and move transfers onto a wait list, it’s only those with the second level of clearance who are then able to check them against payment schedules and cash flow files and actually release those wire transfers out of the bank account.
Due to the need to fill in payee details in Chinese on e-commerce platforms, it’s always good to have Chinese cashiers or local consultants to act as operators.
Full online operability is only granted for domestic transactions in RMB, with transfers for goods and services received by overseas providers usually being conducted in person at bank counters in physical branches, given the need to submit paper documentation and supporting contracts and invoices.
Only recently have we seen an increase in channels for the online submission of documents for outward remittances, especially by international banks with a presence and operations in China.
How can Hawksford help?
Hawksford is an established provider of company registration and outsourced corporate services in China. With more than 100 multilingual professionals based in Shanghai, Beijing, Suzhou, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, we are able to offer the very best local knowledge to our international clients and provide them with comprehensive introductions to the several local and international banking institutions we’ve had the pleasure of cooperating with in the last decade.

Jury Foreman Concealed Law School With Prosecutor
Scott David Lowry, the jury foreman, concealed from the court that he was an attorney and attended the same law school as the prosecutor Gregory C. Hough (see photo and bio of Lowry).
Both attended Washburn University School of Law at the same time. The School of Law is housed in a single building, and is described as a school "where every student can know every other student" in the admissions brochures.
The defense has filed a Motion with the Tenth Circuit and the District Court for a new trial based on juror misconduct. (See Motion to Remand to Trial Court, Supplemental Motion, and Motion Before the District Court, in PDF format).
Scott Lowry's photo appears in the Student Directory from the law school along with Gregory C. Hough's, the prosecutor (see Washburn University Law School Directory for Hough and Lowry and Alumni Directory)
It has also been determined that Scott Lowry was in law school with another prosecutor in the same office, Thomas Luedke, and the U. S. Attorney for Kansas, Eric Melgren (See the Directory for Luedke, and bio for Melgren).
A complaint was also filed with the Disciplinary Administrator of Kansas concerning lack of candor to the court and misconduct by Lowry (see Complaint).
The matter was also put before the Kansas Supreme Court. (see Complaint to the Chief Justice)
If you attended Washburn University School of Law and know the aforementioned individuals please contact us at aphrodine.1@gmail.com or anonymously by voicemail at 313.557.6219
Lawyers and other concerned parties may contact the Law Office of William K. Rork at 785.235.1650 or by email to rork@rorklaw.com (website www.rorklaw.com). Your help is greatly appreciated.

Enjoying New Mexico
Welcome Homeowners and Guests
Conservation Community
Deer Canyon Preserve is a conservation community built to provide a beautiful, active living opportunity while protecting the natural environment. Conservation is the underlying principle surrounding Deer Canyon’s carefully designed environmental plan that encompasses spacious building sites (20—25 acres), custom designed houses, and well-planned support facilities.
Over the last ten years, individuals, couples, and families from widely diverse areas have been inspired by the serenity and peace of Chupadera Mesa and Central New Mexico. Deer Canyon residents enjoy community activities, hiking, horse-back riding, photography, spending time with neighbors, and tutoring students in nearby Mountainair. This town provides an active local art scene with the many amenities of Santa Fe and Albuquerque a reasonable drive away. Indeed, all New Mexico’s wonders can be reached in half a day’s drive or less.
Protective Conservation Covenants
Both current and future residents have thus developed a strong, committed dedication to this beautiful community and, most importantly, to its preservation. The preserve includes over 11,000 acres with less than 10% developed (including 7,000 acres under New Mexico Land Conservancy management and 3,650 acres as open space). Supporting strong conservation and preservation covenants, a high percentage of this open space is protected in perpetuity, incorporating strong nature conservancy principles with minimal human disruption.
Everyday life on the preserve can be as private or connected as one wishes; however, everyone can participate in the management of the community as overseen by its Home Owners Association and Board of Directors. This gated, master-planned community, with custom homes, buried utilities, and miles of private roads, offers 360 degree views of the surrounding mesa covered in a piñon-juniper forest, red rock arroyos, and the Manzano Mountain Range across a scenic valley. Deer Canyon residents enjoy community life at the custom built Preserve Center, which provides a multi-purpose meeting room that is open to residents for private functions. Sharing a common passion for conservation and preservation, new residents experience an instant camaraderie that stimulates strong friendships, togetherness, and social interactions. These extend to adjacent communities, especially the nearby, historic town of Mountainair.
Deer Canyon residents enjoy community life at the custom built Preserve Center which provides a multi-purpose meeting room open to residents for private functions. The preserve is ideal for equestrian living, with several larger lots designed to accommodate equine facilities and residents. Additionally, the community features an Equestrian Center that can be used to board owners’ and guests’ horses.
Master Planned Community: A Model for the Future
Residents of Deer Canyon Preserve participate in a conservation lifestyle as a model community of the future—promising a new way of enjoying the wildlife and natural resources that surround us and preserving them at the same time. Deer Canyon offers a unique opportunity to live and work as genuine stewards of our ecosystem. The rewards of this conservationist lifestyle offer the satisfaction of giving back to nature coupled with the knowledge that what is being preserved will still be there unchanged for future generations to enjoy.
All property at Deer Canyon is bought and sold through private transactions between owners and interested parties (subject to Deer Canyon Preserve HOA covenants). Undeveloped home sites and custom-built homes are sometimes available through local realtors and local, experienced builders are also on call for all construction needs.

Friend of dead model declared brain dead two weeks after tragedy
Added by celex on 2021年11月28日
Woman, 26, is declared brain dead two weeks after death of her Wilhelmina model friend, 24, when both women were ‘drugged’ and dumped outside hospitals in LA
Hilda Cabrales, 26, was pronounced brain dead yesterday two weeks after being left unconscious outside a hospital in Los Angeles
Her father Luis Cabrales Rivera confirmed doctors said she would not wake up from her coma; her organs will be donated as a ‘last act of love’
He shared that opioids were found in her system which he insist she would never willing take; Christy Giles, 24, was also found with heroin in her system
Rivera said police told him ‘the people behind this have done it before’
Cabrales was left two hours after her friend Wilhelmina model Christy Giles’ dead body was dumped outside another LA hospital
Both women were dropped off by three men in balaclavas driving a black Prius with no license plates 12 hours after they failed to get into their Uber
Giles’s husband Jan Cilliers, 41, told DailyMail.com detectives have interviewed two of the three men with whom the women spent their final hours
Hilda Cabrales, who was left unconscious outside a hospital in Los Angeles two hours after her friend and model Christy Giles’ dead body was dumped outside a different hospital in the area, has been declared brain dead.
Her father confirmed the news to The Sun; it is just days before her 27th birthday on November 29. Luis Cabrales Rivera said the family will ‘say goodbye’ on Sunday or Monday.
She was an interior designer who had just moved to Los Angeles from Mexico in July to take a job as project manager for a design company. She graduated cum laude as an architect from Monterrey University two years ago.
Cabrales, 26, and Giles, 24, went out on Friday, November 13, for a ‘very normal’ night with a third friend who wishes to remain anonymous.

Giles (left) and Cabrales (right) were last seen leaving a warehouse party in LA with men they had met at the party. Family and friends suspect they were drugged and dead for hours before being taken to the hospitals
The next day, after not replying to text messages for nearly 12 hours, Giles’ dead body was left on the sidewalk by men in balaclavas driving a black Prius with no plates at Southern California Hospital in Culver City at 5 pm on November 14.
Surveillance footage recorded the men dumping Cabrales’ unconscious body outside Kaiser Permanente hospital in West LA two hours later.
Cabrales’ parents immediately flew from Mexico to be by their daughters’ side when they learned of the tragedy. Her heartbroken father, Luis Cabrales Rivera, told The Sun that doctors confirmed yesterday that his daughter would not wake up from her coma.
Through tears, Rivera said: ‘My girl was diagnosed brain dead yesterday. We were already expecting it to be bad news and we’re trying to take it with a lot of strength.
‘I asked God to return Hilda to me in 100% good health but if she was going to be left impaired it is better for her to leave and go by His side.’
Her organs will be donated as her family expect their ‘generous girl’ would have wanted. ‘Her mother and I have decided that her organs should be donated to those who need them and that process will take place on Sunday or Monday,’ her father added.
‘I never discussed it with her but we are completely sure Hilda would have wanted it to be this way, she was such a good and generous girl who was always looking out for others.
‘Apparently there are nine to 12 different organs that could be used for donations and we decided that should be the last act of love from my daughter.’
While both Giles (left) and Cabrales (right) were found with heroin in their systems, their family and friends insist the women never would have willingly taken the drug

An outpouring of love for Cabrales and Giles flooded social media when news of their tragedy broke.
‘We’re all devastated but grateful that God let us have her with us for almost 27 years and allowed us to come here and say goodbye to her. I’m grateful that with her last breath she will be able to give life to others and that she will live on in the heart, eyes, lungs, of someone else.’
Family and friends expect to celebrate her life on Sunday or Monday – what would have been her 27th birthday.
‘They will take her down to the operating room on Sunday or Monday but before that, they will let us say goodbye and pay homage to her, Rivera explained. We will be allowed to say a few words and play music and if it is on Monday we will sing Happy Birthday to her.’
It had previously been reported that both Giles and and Cabarles were found with heroin in their system- a drug friends and family swear neither girl would have taken voluntarily.
Rivera explained: ‘Hilda told me that she would sometimes smoke marijuana to help her to get to sleep but the drugs that were found in her system were not drugs she would have taken herself.’
‘Her mother is a doctor, her stepfather is a doctor and they have always told her that she should not take opioids because they could cause irreparable damage or cardiac arrest.’
Giles husband Jan Cilliers, who was in San Francisco at the time, says he awoke in the morning to check his wife’s location on his phone and saw she was somewhere he didn’t recognize
Photographs and videos taken late the night before the women were left at the hospitals show Giles and Cabrales dancing and laughing at a warehouse party
Giles and Cabrales went out for their friend described as a ‘very normal’ Friday night
He insisted that his daughter was a very health conscious person. ‘She was informed about all that and wouldn’t have consciously taken anything like that. Those are not recreational drugs and Hilda was a very healthy girl who liked to hike, do yoga and go to the gym,’ Rivera said.
The distraught father confirmed suspicions that have circulated social media: ‘the people behind this have done it before.’ Although the suspects’ names have not officially been released complaints about several suspects have been coming into Giles’ husband, friends, and the Los Angeles Police Department.
‘We want people to continue to be aware of this case until those who are responsible for what happened to Hilda and Christy are behind bars,’ Rivera said.
‘The detectives have spoken with us several times and they told us that for the LAPD this is personal because the people behind this have done it before but it had never gone as far as this,’ he confirmed.
‘The police opened an emergency line and have apparently been speaking with people but have asked us to be patient while they put the case together,’ Rivera continued. ‘The detectives told us they’re indignant that these guys had the chance to save Hilda and Christy’s lives but preferred to abandon them to their luck.’
Jan Cillers, Giles’ husband, claims to know the men who his wife and Cabrales were last seen with. He and Giles’ best friend, Sandy Evangelista Robinson, have reportedly been receiving messages from other women sharing other similar bad nights with the men.
Giles and Cabrales were a Soho House LA when they left for a warehouse party. Giles husband said he traced her phone to an apartment complex before the women were dropped off at their respective hospitals
Giles’ (left) husband Jan Cillers (right) says he knows the name of the men who were last seen with the two women. Cillers (pictured) and Cabrales’ father, Luis Cabrales Rivera, have confirmed that many women have made complaints to them and police about the suspects
Cillers (pictured) told DailyMail.com detectives have interviewed two of the three men with whom she spent her final hours
When he shared the names of the men on social media, one of their ex-girlfriends allegedly shared her story writing: ‘He’s a dangerous person, and I’ve been contacted by numerous women who’ve also experienced abuse from him.’
The women went out to the SoHo House in downtown LA and then a nearby warehouse party.
The two women left the party in downtown LA with the men they met and ended up at an apartment building in West LA, the third friend who left early said. Cillers assumes that the women were offered a ride to an after-party but never made it.
He tracked Giles’ phone at 1:30 am and shared her location as an apartment building at 8641 West Olympic Boulevard. He posted a photo of the address asking his social media followers: ‘Anyone know someone that lives here?’
Detectives have since been spotted at the apartment building where they interviewed two of the three men Cabrales and Giles spent their final moments with.
The men, who rent an apartment in West Hollywood that Christy’s phone recorded as her last live location, allegedly admitted to cops that they took the girls home from the warehouse party, claimed the women took drugs and overdosed, and that they immediately took them to the ER.
Texts between the two women showed Giles sent a message to Cabrales at 5:30am when they were at the apartment, reading: ‘let’s go.’ Cabrales replied: ‘Yes. I’ll call an Uber’ and then ’10 minutes away’- however, the two were never picked up
Four minutes later at 5:36am, a friend called Eddie who was at the official afterparty the girls had planned to go to texted Giles: ‘Where you at?’ – but that message was never read

However, texts from Christy’s phone reviewed by DailyMail.com cast doubt on the men’s alleged account – leading her husband to believe they forcibly drugged both women.
After arriving at their home, an apparently uncomfortable Christy texted Hilda ‘let’s go’ with a wide-eyed emoji at 5:30am on Saturday morning. Hilda replied ‘Yes. I’ll call an Uber. 10 minutes away.’
At 5:36am a friend called Eddie who was at the official afterparty the girls had planned to go to texted Christy: ‘Where you at?’
Read receipts show Christy never read the text, nor any others after that, and Uber records show the women never got in their cab.
Cilliers believes that in those six minutes, something happened to his wife and her friend that left them incapacitated.
But it wasn’t until 12 hours later, at 5pm on Saturday, that CCTV at Southern California Hospital in Culver City showed men in masks and hats pulling up in a black Toyota Prius with no license plate and dumping Christy’s body – and another two hours before Hilda was left at nearby Kaiser Permanente hospital in West LA.
Cilliers said hospital staff told him both women’s bodies were cold when they were admitted, which could mean that whatever killed his wife had happened several hours earlier.
Cilliers said though his wife led a glamorous life, being signed to Wilhelmina Models age 14 and travelling the world for photoshoots, she ‘kicks ass and is very street smart.’

Where can I see Newton's original reflecting telescope? (Beginner)

Answered by Karen Masters
I am on business in London for several months and I am enjoying my stay here taking in the rich scientific and cultural history of the city. I would like to know if Isaac Newton's original reflecting telescope is still in existence and, if so, where might it be on display?
I tried to find this out on the web and although I could find photographs of it I couldn't work out where it was.
I did find this nice list of the websites of museums in the UK which might help.
I also emailed the British Museum to see if they might know where it is (I'm intrigued now!). What they said was "I am afraid that we are unable to assist you with your inquiry. I suggest that you contact the Whipple Museum for the History of Science in Cambridge or the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London." Good luck with your search.
NOTE FROM KAREN: If anyone does know where this can be seen please email us the answer!
UPDATE by Britt, May 7, 2002 Newton's original telescope is currently in the National Museum of Australia in Canberra, part of an exhibit called "To Mars and Beyond," from 13 December 2001 to 26 May 2002. The exhibit will then travel to the display from 26 June to 21 October 2002 at the Museum Victoria.
The telescope is owned by the Royal Society of London.
UPDATE by Britt, August 14, 2002: We have it on the authority of a person with a .uk address that the Royal Society in London has the telescope in their rooms at Carlton House Terrace.

Perspective //
According to recent psychological research, sexist jokes make sexist people
by Nina Ubaldi
“What’s the difference between a bitch and a whore? A whore will screw anyone. A bitch will screw anyone but you.”
Seth MacFarlane: accused of sexism after hosting the Oscars
According to recent psychological research, it is possible that after reading this joke you are more likely to accept violence against women.
It seems intuitive that finding sexist jokes funny indicates something about your attitude to women; indeed it’s a theory that dates back to Freud. But can sexist jokes actively promote discrimination, rather than just reflecting societal attitudes?
To answer this question, studies published in Current Research in Social Psychology and the Journal of Interpersonal Violence exposed male university students to either sexist jokes, or non-sexist jokes. The two groups were then given rape proclivity tests, which described a rape scenario (without using the term ‘rape’) and asked the subjects how likely they would be to act as the assailant did in the scenario.
In both studies, men exposed to sexist jokes were more likely to sympathise with the actions of the rapist. The Current Research article also revealed that this tendency extended to other areas; groups exposed to sexist jokes were more likely to blame the victim, to consider rape a less serious offence, and to recommend shorter jail sentences.
The psychologists explained this effect through ‘prejudiced norm theory’, which emphasises the role of humour in normalising discriminatory attitudes. According to the theory, prejudicial views implied by jokes are less likely to be critically examined because they are received in the context of ‘entertainment’. In these studies, sexist jokes were thought to reinforce the kinds of norms that make it easier for people to act in a hostile manner towards women. Other studies have similarly shown that men are more likely to tolerate scenarios of workplace harassment after reading sexist jokes. For anyone who has objected to dodgy examples of ‘humour’ only to be told, “it’s only a joke”, this Trojan horse-like description of jokes is likely to ring true.
Both studies, however, found this disturbing effect could be moderated by altering certain key factors. No amount of sexist jokes could make stranger rape scenarios seem palatable, unlike the scenarios that described date rape. In other words, the effects of sexist jokes only appeared to operate in rape scenarios that are still, unfortunately, confusing to some people—think Todd Akin and his concept of “legitimate rape”.
Furthermore, people that found sexist jokes actively unfunny or ‘aversive’ appeared to be immune to the effects of sexist jokes. If they thought critically about the joke, the unconscious biases carried by it did not affect their judgement of the rape scenarios.

A Cladistic Analysis and Taxonomic Revision of Australian Metacyclops and Goniocyclops, with Description of Four New Species and Three New Genera (Copepoda, Cyclopoida)
Karanovic, T and Eberhard, SM and Murdoch, A, A Cladistic Analysis and Taxonomic Revision of Australian Metacyclops and Goniocyclops, with Description of Four New Species and Three New Genera (Copepoda, Cyclopoida), Crustaceana, 84, (1) pp. 1-67. ISSN 0011-216X (2011) [Refereed Article]
Copyright 2011 Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden
DOI: doi:10.1163/001121610X546698
Four new small subterranean cyclopid species are described from Australia in a newly erected genus Anzcyclops n. gen.: A. yarriensis n. sp. (type), A. belli n. sp., A. ballensis n. sp., and A. euryantennula n. sp. Three species are from the Pilbara region in Western Australia, the fourth species from central Queensland. Another previously described species from New Zealand is transferred to this genus, A. silvestris (Harding, 1958) n. comb., originally described in the genus Goniocyclops Kiefer, 1955. The new genus has a number of unique features, including dorsoventrally compressed habitus, reticulated integument of prosomites, and a characterstic shape of the fifth leg. It is most closely related to the South American genus Muscocyclops Kiefer, 1937, and the two share the same spine formula of the swimming legs (2.3.3.2), but they can be distinguished by a number of characters in the shape of the genital double-somite, caudal rami, and anal operculum, as well as in the armature of the first leg. Our preliminary cladistic analysis revealed the polyphyletic nature of the endemic Australian genus Fierscyclops Karanovic, 2004. As a result, the subgenus Pilbaracyclops Karanovic, 2006 is upgraded to full generic rank and its two species are given as new combinations: P. supersensus (Karanovic, 2006) n. comb. (type) and P. frustratio (Karanovic, 2006) n. comb. The assemblage of Australian species previously considered members of the genus Metacyclops Kiefer, 1927 is also found to be polyphyletic and all five Australian representatives and one New Zealand species of the so-called "trispinosus"-goup are transferred into a newly erected genus Pescecyclops n. gen.: P. laurentiisae (Karanovic, 2004) n. comb. (type), P. pilanus (Karanovic, 2004) n. comb., P. arnaudi (G. O. Sars, 1908) n. comb., P. monacanthus (Kiefer, 1928) n. comb., P. kimberleyi (Karanovic, 2004) n. comb., and P. pilbaricus (Karanovic, 2004) n. comb. After this, only two Australian species are left in the genus Metacyclops: M. mortoni Pesce, De Laurentiis & Humphreys, 1996 and M. superincidentis Karanovic, 2004. Pescecyclops is defined by the presence of three spines on the distal exopodal segment of all swimming legs, only one apical spine on the fourth leg endopod, and absence of any sexual dimorphism in postantennular appendages, in addition to a Metacyclops-like fifth leg. Two Australian species previously considered members of Goniocyclops and one as a member of Allocyclops Kiefer, 1932 proved to be relatively closely related to each other and quite separate from other members of their respective genera. They are transferred into a third new genus, Dussartcyclops n. gen., although subdivided into two subgenera: D. (s. str.) uniarticulatus (Karanovic, 2004) n. comb. (type), D. (s. str.) mortoni (Karanovic, 2004) n. comb., and D. (Barrowcyclops) consensus (Karanovic, 2003) n. comb. They all have a reduced armature of the swimming legs (spine formula 2.2.2.2), vermiform habitus, and the fifth leg exopod armed with two subequal apical setae, but the subgenus Barrowcyclops n. subgen. has the exopod of the fifth leg fused basally to the somite and the inner spine on the first leg basis absent, in addition to a more plesiomorphic endopodal armature of the first and fourth legs.

Ex-Warner Bros Chief Alan Horn Wins Disney Gig
In the wake of Rich Ross's departure from Disney, former Warner Bros. chairman Alan Horn has landed the job of replacing him — and turning the studio around from its John Carter epic fail. Horn, who guided WB to hit franchises like Harry Potter and The Dark Knight (and, fun fact, was also in the Air Force!), will now head all of Disney, Pixar, and Marvel Studios films, along with Touchstone-distributed DreamWorks titles. So, best of luck. No pressure or anything!

It has been years in the making. It is epic in scope. It contains elements beloved by millions. "It" is the marketing campaign for the hotly anticipated superhero gathering The Avengers, and as promotional surges go, those are high standards to maintain. Hence the $100 million worth of international promotional partnerships formed by Marvel and Disney — although, with such a global presence, it seems natural that a few of their marketing and merchandising moves would make less impact than Mjölnir. Behold the weirdest of what you may find touting the the comic-book blockbuster in the United States and beyond.

Sacha Baron Cohen Takes Ruthless Dictator Act to CinemaCon
"He then began threatening the exhibitors to put his movie in their theaters, or else he said he might detonate imaginary bombs underneath their seats. 'Is that chewing gum underneath your seat? Certainly they are not plastic explosives,' he teased. 'Trust me, there are bigger bombs in John Carter. Just shoot the executive behind that. Oh — wait, you did,' he said, referring to [Rich] Ross's recent departure from Disney. But perhaps the harshest zinger was aimed at Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks. To urge CinemaCon attendees to see a screening of The Dictator later Monday evening, Cohen promised free Rolexes, blood diamonds, and young girls — 'or boys, if you are from DreamWorks.'" [LAT]

After two and a half years running Disney, during which time the Mouse House released hits like Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Alice in Wonderland, Toy Story 3, The Muppets, and The Help -- but also a string of disappointments topped by last month's quarter-billion dollar bomb John Carter -- studio head Rich Ross is out. "The best people need to be in the right jobs, in roles they are passionate about, doing work that leverages the full range of their abilities," Ross said in a statement.

REVIEW: Disney Doc Chimpanzee Is Shamelessly Adorable Simian Sensationalism
Chimpanzees are the putative subject of Chimpanzee, another in a line of Disney documentaries with big, blunt titles (Oceans, Earth, Nature) and very specific stories to tell. This time out, narrator Tim Allen tells us, our tale promises “drama, sadness, and joy in a world you and I may never set eyes on.” That world is the Ivory Coast rainforest, and we’re pretty much looking at it just then, but it becomes clear early on in the beauteous but outrageously martial Chimpanzee that things might not be what they seem.

Disney Adapting Mr. Toad's Wild Ride for the Big Screen
Strap yourselves in, folks: In the wake of its billion-dollar amusement park-inspired Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Disney is bringing another classic attraction to the big screen — Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

I don't know about you, but I take one look at this Mr. Toad's ride poster and just one spot on the release calendar jumps out. How's about April 20 2013/14, if you get my drift? [Deadline]

María Márquez – Tonada (2013)
Jazz vocalists don’t typically give me the same charge I get from jazz instrumentalists, but there are always a few exceptions to the rule. There are ones who break from the usual torch singer prescription of performing standards and or in the standard way, you could call them avanteers, doing things in their own way. Those are some attributes that drew me to recent records by Maria Neckam, Neneh Cherry, Lucia Pulido and Tania Maria. The last of these two have one extra attribute going for them, and that’s their deft blend of exotic South American music forms that’s in their DNA with the American jazz that became part of their training.
There’s another such South American singer who falls into that profile, and that’s Venezuelan- born María Márquez.
Márquez is a relative newcomer in the States, her first album sold here Eleven Love Stories arrived in 2001 and has made only one other one since (2004’s Nature’s Princess, her Adventure Music debut). After this Tuesday, make three; Tonada is coming.
The charms that come with Márquez’s music start with her voice, as you might expect. She’s been compared to Nina Simone and Cassandra Wilson, which are apt comparisons, but I’d also add Tania Maria to that list of “sounds like”, due to her smoky, exotic purr. Singing all but one selection in Spanish makes it easier to perceive her voice as another instrument, since I can’t understand the lyrics, and in that way, it’s easier to appreciate it.
Tonada has more than Márquez’s vocals going for it, however. She and the album’s percussionist John Santos gathered many of the best musicians from around Márquez’s current Oakland, CA. environs and made a record that is diverse, imaginative, traditional and very modern… but never completely departing from her Venezuelan roots. That’s because she is drawing most of the material from Venezuelan composers like Conny Mendez, Aldemaro Romero, Violeta Parra, or even a few old, traditional songs from her homeland.
The “diverse” part comes in the form of the arrangements of these songs that doesn’t seem to favor one approach over another. Bobby Black’s pedal steel guitar is called upon for the numbers “Canción de Cuna” and “Entre Copa y Copa”. DJ Roger Mas’s turntables give the noire film styled- piece “Tonada” a bit of a chilling feel, not the vibe you’d normally get from these basic tools of the hip hop trade. Ray Bonneville’s slide guitar gives “Wild Card” a Delta Blues shading to a jazz lounge number, highlighted by the rousing soul Hammond B3 solo by Rich Kuhn. Kuhn’s accordion gives an Italian flavor to “Cancion de Cuna” and accentuates the rustic feel of “Serenata”.
Often, it’s how Márquez and Santos puts it all together that makes these songs something much more than straightforward interpretations of old, traditional songs. “El Catire” might be one of those songs but you’d never know it from how it’s made into contemporary soul jazz with South American flavor, and has a sophisticated way the various motifs are strung together. That pedal steel guitar might bring the melancholy on “Entre Copa y Copa,” but the organ delivers the soul and the piano provides the elegance. That leaves Márquez to handle the passion. “Amazonas” is a Brazilian song, but there’s an Afro- Cuban rhythm with brass, funky electric bass and modern electric piano formulating the groove on this one. The organ provides an icy cool backdrop to Peter Barshay’s acoustic bass solo on “Volver a los 17”, which is quickly followed by a Moog synth solo.
The “tradition” part comes to fore on the all acoustic four pieces where Márquez is lightly accompanied by either the Venezuelan cuatro of Hernan Gamboa alone (“Déjame”) or the cuatro along with a clarinet and maybe another instrument or two. These spare, organic arrangements are where you can really appreciate not just Gamboa’s pretty four stringed guitar, but also the control and character in Márquez’s untouched voice.
But even when María Márquez is singing traditional songs, there is a fundamental comeliness that transcends time. It took nine years for her to follow up on her last album, and four of those were spent working on this one. It was time well spent. Tonada shows how reaching back to the rich, under-appreciated rich heritage of Venezuelan music can be pushed forward and made relevant in the 21st. century.

Binance Official: ‘If the ICO Bubble Bursts, It’s a Good Thing for the Industry’
https://preview.redd.it/aofbxbvbx8211.jpg?width=725&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab2cf748f703e39e10c358f3752e96a8c3802e12
Head of Binance Labs Ella Zhang thinks that if the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) “bubble bursts, it’s a good thing for the industry,” Bloomberg reported June 4.
Zhang, who joined Binace less than two months ago, told Bloomberg that though the bull market remains positive thanks to a stable inflow of users, only the ICO bubble burst would open the industry to truly valuable projects. Zhang did not predict when such a bubble burst may occur. She said:
“We’d like the bubble to break. We still see a lot of hype in the market, valuations are high and unreasonable. We really think if the bubble bursts, it’s a good thing for the industry.”
Additionally, Zhang said that she is helping Binance to deal with the scams that have emerged as a result of the hype, with so-called Cryptocurrency Governance Initiatives, or CGI. The purpose of the initiative is to “fight scams and sh*t coins, and to boost crypto and blockchain technology.”
Within the initiative, Binance will reportedly support funds and token teams it’s working with, but they must promise that “they won’t participate in pump and dump” schemes, and that they will build products according to their white papers. Binance will stop investing in funds and delist tokens from teams that do not honor their commitments.
Over the next three to five years, Binance Labs plans to invest $1 bln of Binance profits in various projects, with an average investment per project between $1 mln and $10 mln. There are 20 different cryptocurrency funds with whom Binance plans to collaborate as part of the new venture capital fund. All the projects involved will be obligated to join CGI. The fund has reportedly made four investments in both companies’ tokens and equity so far.
Zhang, who was previously an investment director at venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, believes there can be a conflict between investing in tokens and equity, as they are valued differently. She said:
“If we see founders contribute to both sides, we’ll hold both sides. Sometime it’s hard to see which one is more valuable, but our position is to support the founders and create value for the project as a whole.”
Ella Zhang is not the first expert to predict a bubble burst. In April, Nobel Prize laureate for economics Robert Shiller pointed out that while Bitcoin might be a bubble, that doesn’t mean that it will burst and be gone forever. According to Shiller, there is a part of the cryptocurrency “bubble” that is political, as people who don’t trust their governments may be tempted to invest.

Newspapers Need to Start Twittering
By paulgillin | May 16, 2008 - 7:52 am - Posted in Facebook, Google, Solutions
The devastating earthquake in China this week was the latest in a string of incidents that cast the spotlight on the Twitter microblogging service and its value to news organizations. Jeff Jarvis has called Twitter “an important evolutionary step in the rise of blogging,†but it’s really more than that. Twitter redefines the time value of news and is a critical tool in the development of citizen journalism. Individuals with cell phones can now be the eyes and ears of the world if they happen to be on the spot for a news event. Editors Weblog outlines the value of Twitter’s simplicity and open interface, which encourages people to experiment with new applications.
Writing on Global Voices, Mong Palatino notes that Twitter became a primary source of information about the recent cyclone disaster in Myanmar. We noted earlier a UK paper’s use Twitter to beat the BBC in local election coverage.
News organizations should see Twitter as an opportunity. Which paper will be the first to create a hyperlocal portal around a network of Twitter feeds provided by readers? If the mission of newspapers is to report the news quickly, shouldn’t they be outfitting reporters with Twitter accounts and streaming those feeds on their websites? Why haven’t any U.S. newspapers embraced this valuable tool yet?
CBS’s Daring CNET Play
Is CBS’s purchase of CNET a stroke of genius or a desperate play for relevance in the digital age? It does appear that CBS is serious about the Internet. In addition to laying off 160 employees recently, the network reportedly initiated talks with CNN about outsourcing some of its reporting work. Collectively, this could indicate that CBS is giving up the ghost on TV news and turning it attention to being an important player online. Alan Mutter questions the high price CBS paid for an online network that no one else appeared to want, but sees strategic value to CBS. The company certainly deserves credit for making some bold recent moves to reshuffle its cost structure and focus on the future instead of chasing a dying TV news model into the ground.
Hyperlocal Innovation Emerges Offshore
If the future of newspapers is hyperlocal, as many people think, then organizations outside the U.S. may lead the charge. Editors Weblog reports on lessons from a Finnish newspaper that is evolving an activist model that taps into issues that matter to the community. The editor-in-chief says the secret is to focus on soft stories that strike an emotional chord in readers and to pay attention to community issues that matter, such as the cleanup of a local park.
The Liverpool Daily Post is opening up its newsroom to observation and comment from its readers. People can see how decisions are made and contribute their ideas and comments to the process. What a concept. Newspapers demand transparency from the organizations they cover, yet the decision-making process in most newsrooms is as opaque as smoked glass.
Editor & Publisher reports on experiments in Latin America in which citizens do most or all of the reporting. The concept of citizen involvement is central to the Latin American newsgathering process, says Mark Fitzgerald. Many of the standard rules of journalism are suspended. “Irreverence is valued.”
Bloomberg Expands Editorial Footprint
Can a maker of computer terminals become an online media giant? We may be about to find out. Bloomberg LP has hired the former top editor of Time Inc. and The Wall Street Journal, to the new position of chief content officer. Bloomberg makes most of its money selling data terminals used by stockbrokers and other financial professionals, but there have been rumblings that the company, which was founded by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, wants to burnish its newsgathering capabilities.
Pearlstine has spent the last year and a half in the private equity world, but it sounds like news is in his blood. Bloomberg has been growing its footprint in that area. It now has 2,300 employees , nearly double its 2001 size, and it has been growing its financial news service, television and radio operations. With Michael Bloomberg’s term in office set to end next year, there’s been considerable speculation about what would happen when he returns to business. It looks like we’re about to find out.
Newspapers may soon face another threat, according to Alan Mutter: the huge ecological burden of print publishing. “A prototypical publisher selling 250,000 newspapers on each of the 365 days of the year adds nearly 28,000 tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere,” the Newsosaur says. “That’s roughly equivalent to the CO2 spewed by almost 3,700 Ford Explorers being driven 10,000 miles apiece per year.”
Journal Register Co., which is on life support pending payment of a $625 million debt this summer, has been offered a $25 million cash infusion from a current investor, who is demanding “a number of concessions” in return. Those concessions weren’t specified.
Two Washington Post icons are accepting the newspaper’s buyout offer: David Broder and Tony Kornheiser. Broder will continue as a contract columnist. Kornheiser’s future with the Post is less certain.
McClatchy Co. Chairman, President, and CEO Gary Pruitt said the company is open to selling the 49.5% share of the Seattle Times Co. it acquired as part of the purchase of Knight Ridder Inc. in 2006.

The Bible, or Reading the Bible? The Authority of Lay Religious Teachers in Fifteenth-Century Germany
In his 1479 printed Beichtspiegel (Mirror for Confession), lay barber and Meistersinger Han Folz of Nuremberg used rhyming verse to teach his readers about the triangle of rew, beicht, buß (contrition, confession, penance); the dangers of purgatory; and above all, the seemingly endless numerical lists of vices and virtues that so characterized fifteenth-century religious literature. [1] There was no need to limit oneself to the seven deadly sins and seven cardinal virtues when there were also four sins that cry to heaven (one of which is, however, the silent sin), six sins against the Holy Spirit, and nine alien sins.
By 1479, a wealthy, prominent, and educated burgher like Folz evidently had little to fear from widely disseminating orthodox religious writing in the vernacular to instruct other laity. Indeed, while he printed the original Beichtspiegel himself, the text was later printed in an anthology alongside didactic literature by clerical authors. Nevertheless, the lack of authority of office led him to ground his authority throughout the Beichtspiegel via textual citation. More specifically, via a single type of citation. Folz cites “Levitici am vierundzweinzigisten capitel” (Leviticus 24); he cites “quarto Regum quinto” (4 Kings 5); he cites “Luce sedecimo” (Luke 16). [2] Throughout the entire Beichtspiegel, almost all of his citations take the same form, and without exception they come from the same source: the Bible.
Initial of the book of Genesis in the Wenceslas Bible (also known as the Bible of Wenceslaus IV); Vienna, Austrian National Library, Codex 2759–64 (1389 CE).
It was not for lack of knowledge of other religious texts. Folz’s Latin was good enough for him to accomplish two different translations of the Life of Adam and Eve, and his immense corpus of surviving poetry, songs, and Carnival plays reveals an extensive familiarity with the more theoretical or theological ideas that lay beneath the “mass market” Christianity of his day. [3] Furthermore, in his medical texts, Folz shows he understands the utility of citing earlier authorities through his references to Galen, Avicenna—and Augustine. [4] In the Beichtspiegel, his decision to rely solely on the Word of God as authority was indeed a decision.
Das wort gottes could be rallying cry of the Reformation because the late Middle Ages got there first. The Bible’s position as the focus of lay arguments in favor of the early Protestant movement, we have long known, was rooted in its already-existing popularity in lay religious life, not its absence. [5] In addition to the enormous amount of [[vernacular biblical material available to lay readers]], pastoral care manuals and priests’ prefaces to Bible translations emphasized the need to make scripture accessible to the laity.
Sandra Corbellini has noted a second important emphasis in pastoral texts encouraging lay Bible use: the act of reading scripture—independent of the specific contents—as an act of peri-mystical devotion reminiscent of monastic meditatio. One of the fifteenth century’s most influential preachers, Bernardino of Siena, preached that “the more you read and study [the Bible], the more sweetness you get, the more you feel the taste of God. If you try it, you will know; otherwise not.” [6]
No matter how rhythmic Folz’s verse (not really at all) or how perfect his rhymes (very imperfect), it is undeniable that his rote lists of sins and virtues put one in the mindset of learning facts, not the prayerful devotion Bernardino suggests. However, popular teaching’s legitimization of the act of reading scripture from the act of learning from reading scripture had its parallel at the more learned level, too.
Ian Christopher Levy’s aptly named Holy Scripture and the Quest for Authority at the End of the Middle Ages shows how the theological debates of the turbulent period between 1370 and 1430 so often turned on the question of who had the authority to determine what constituted a correct—therefore authoritative—interpretation of scripture.[7] The act of correct reading, separate from the interpretation itself, was important enough to be its own flashpoint for debate and worse. The act of reading was inseparable from the determination of authority.
The opening of the Ottheinrich Bible, the earliest surviving illustrated manuscript of the New Testament in the German language, commissioned by Ludwig VII, Duke of Bavaria-Ingolstadt; Munich, Bavarian State Library, Cgm 8010, p.2 (c. 1430 CE).
In that light, the specific method by which Folz cites the Bible merits attention. With the exception of a couple of places where Folz refers briefly to a Bible story to illustrate his point, all biblical references take the same full form: book and chapter. (Verses were not regularly numbered and used until far later.) His citations are purposeful citations of the Bible as a book, not just a text.
Folz, moreover, is not the only fifteenth-century German layman to seek this association. 1460s-era lay apocalyptic prophets Livin and Johannes Wirsberger of Egerland were exquisitely aware of the precariousness of their position, given the dark fears of the devil corrupting ignorant lay people into proclaiming false prophecies. Their few surviving letters feature insistent deferrals to the Church as the ultimate judge of true and false messages, but also their authority to write anyway. [8] One favorite tactic? The citation of scripture by book and chapter.
Folz and to some extent the Wirsbergers direct their readers’ attention to the Bible as a book—inseparable from directing readers’ attention to the authors’ familiarity with the Bible as a book. They seem to signal not just their religious knowledge, but the fact that they are able to access it through reading the Bible.
The possibility that religious authority could lie in the act of reading scripture raises questions about the relationship of laity and clergy, and just as importantly, public perception of “clergy” and/versus “lay” in the realm of popular, vernacular religious teaching. In an era filled with das wort gottes and significantly increasing urban literacy rates, further investigation will hopefully help illuminate intersections between contemporary religious culture, benefit of clergy, and—yes—a priesthood of quite a few additional believers.

Christine Ebner and the Engelthal Sister-Book: Some English Translations
Scores of women mystics. The dead returning to speak to the living. Even a mystical pregnancy. Who wouldn’t want to read this book?
Fortunately for us, it is more properly these books. There are nine “Sister-books,” or Schwesternbücher, from fourteenth-century German convents (plus several from fifteenth-century Netherlands). All are filled with short glimpses at the piety of different sisters.
Many scholars today argue that these collective biographies cannot tell us anything about the individual nuns. Rather, using rhetorical and devotional elements of their time, the books build a picture of how the community envisions itself. There is perhaps no better individual signal of this purpose than the title of Christine Ebner’s Schwesternbücher for the sisters of Engelthal: Buchlein von der genaden uberlast, which might be translated “Little Book on the Excess of Grace.” The books reveal the manifestation of God’s grace in each convent in a way that other people will understand.
Given that women wrote the Schwesternbücher about other women, it is surprisingly difficult to find English-language discussion of them, much less published translations.
So here I present three entries from Christine Ebner’s Buchlein von der genaden uberlast (Little Book on the Excess of Grace), which tells of sisters from the Dominican convent at Engelthal, near Nuremberg.
One sister was named Reichgard [Richardis] and was our patron’s sister and came to our community. She had been a black nun [Benedictine] and knew our craft. As she now had come into our cloister, she took up the practice with great industriousness and went unceasingly to choir for thirty years, that she never missed a single day. And she was also without meat these thirty years and came only rarely to bathe and fasted unceasingly, and was awake every night after Matins, and said no more than three Salve reginas with great devotion. The first Salve regina, she said that for the cloister and all good people; the second Salve regina for all sinners; the third Salve regina for the souls in purgatory. She was a righteous person for all her life, and Our Lord never did her any special grace until the time that her life would take an end. Then she lay after Matins in front of the alter in choir on her knees for a long time. There came Our Lady and led her son Jesus Christ by the hand, and he was like a child around ten years old and said to her, “Stand up, beloved Reichgard.” And when she got herself up, then our Lord gripped her by her chin and said, “The time has come, prepare yourself: your brother and your sister await you with great desire. You are invited to the eternal company; there I will give you all of the wages you have earned from me.” In the same place she arrived at death and died with a holy death. Not many days after she came back here and said: she had traveled to heaven not without respite; her purgatory had been in a green meadow.
One sister was named Mechthild von Neidstein, and came here from the court of the count of Herzberg, and was an unceasing servant of God and cried in her prayers every day for God to give her a good end. This he allowed her and gave her indeed a devout death. Then she came back after her death and said: God had given her an unmeasurable reward because she had been loyal to the convent, and especially that she had suffered in the office of prioress with loyalty.
[Mechthild] had a niece, who was named Sophie von Neidstein, who died before her, and was around twenty-four years old, and was an undefeated person. When she lay on her deathbed, then she was enraptured. When she again came to herself, then she said, “I was in the other world and have seen and heard—should I live five hundred years more, I could never fully say what I know. As I am now at peace, so I want to say something about it.” Then she lifted up a song, which no one understood other than the last word, that she said “Mary,” and then said: “I was made aware, that I am one of the saved people; this I did not know before.” After that, she died one more day after that. When she did her last action, then she lifted up the Salve Regina: “Greeted you are, queen,” and sang it with a sweet voice. As she was then dead, so she came back to a valued sister. She said to her: as she had prayed the Salve regina, then our lady Mary entered in a purple robe, and St. Agnes and many virgins entered with her. Then our lady wrapped the robe around her; thus everything flew away. This grace she had earned with a Psalter that she had read every day standing. Thus she had fallen under silence for three hours, when she was dressed for death, and died on the day of Our Lady.

Syncretism in the Hêliand
Bust of Charlemagne (14th century), Aachen Cathedral Treasury
The Hêliand represents a towering yet puzzling work of early continental Germanic literature whose deliberate fusion of Christian ideas with the language of warrior elites creates a rich and intense patchwork for audiences. Composed in the first half of the ninth century in the Carolingian Empire at a time when the emperors sought to impose Christianity on their newly conquered Saxon subjects, the text consists of a lengthy verse Gospel paraphrase completed in the so-called Old Saxon dialect—a predecessor of Middle and High varieties of Low German spoken throughout the northern regions of contemporary Germany. The religious subject of the poem is translated into the language of a Germanic warrior culture in order to reach a wide audience of lay—especially male—elites. This, in turn, transforms the narrative of Jesus’ life into a uniquely Christian-Germanic epic propped up by the language of fidelity and war.
The statue of Charlemagne erected in Aachen’s Market Place, 1620
One of the moments in the Hêliand where the juxtaposition of Christian ideas and prophecy with a Germanic vocabulary of warrior elites comes in the work’s fifty-sixth fitt (“song”), the Last Supper narrative. Linked is an excerpt and translation from this turning point in the text (Hêliand 56, lines 4665-4701), revolving around Simon Peter’s reaction to Jesus’ forecasting of the former’s impending betrayal (which I have titled “Peter’s Promise”). Throughout his speeches, Jesus relies upon the vocabulary of fidelity and lordship, while Peter’s promise to sacrifice himself “an uuapno spil”—literally “in the play of weapons”—reads as a transparent euphemism for the scourges of battle.

Sandusky Trial: Coverup for Another Elite Pedophilia Ring?
Published on Jun 27, 2012 by thetruthergirls
The media is all over the Sandusky case and I guess it makes people feel better to thing the Bad Guy has been caught and justice has been served, but evidence is coming out that Sandusky didn’t just molest a few kids – he was pimping them out to the rich and powerful. There have been so many similar cases in the past, where large pedophilia rings have been covered up, with a few scapegoats offered up to make it look like justice has been served – but it never has and these operations continue to flourish around the world.

Noah - Movie Review
on Sunday, 30 March 2014 05:22
by Austin Templin
“Remember Noah, he picked you for a reason.”
Step-aside Sunday school teachers, toss out your picture books, and forget what you thought you knew about the white bearded man named Noah. Darren Aronofsky, in his latest cinematic endeavor, delivers quite majestically I might add, in a sure-fire, visually stunning, intellectually challenging, blockbuster.
Opening with a thought provoking, “In the beginning, there was nothing…,” viewers are taken on a genealogical journey, tracing the descendants of Cain, and his brother Seth, with the descendants of Cain fouling the soil of the Earth, and damning mankind to a coming judgment. Beginning with a young Noah scavenging in a field with his father, Noah witnesses the slaying of his father, in the face of tyrannical ruler Tubal-cain (Ray Winstone).
Transitioning forward, viewers witness a grown Noah (Russell Crowe), on a similar scavenging voyage with his children, Shem, and Ham teaching them to treasure Creation, for it is His (God’s), in which they too learn the savagery done by the descendants and followers of Cain. Through violent, often visually-striking visions, Noah realizes that an imminent death awaits the human race, and, with the accompaniment of his family, journeys to receive wisdom from his grandfather Methuselah (Anthony Hopkins). Along the voyage Noah encounters The Watchers…giant stone, Neverending Story, Rock Giant resembling ogres, who were angels but as a result of defiance of God, were cursed to the Earth, never to return to Heaven.
Through another mystically stunning vision set on by Methuselah, Noah discovers the need to build an Arc, and fill it with all of the animals of the world, for they have not cursed the name of God, thus avoiding the persecution He brings to all of mankind.
Whilst crafting the vessel, Tubal-cain proclaims he is king, and claims every right to the Earth, that God will not deny him of his life, and sets out on a quest to kill Noah, and take the vessel for his. In a Peter Jackson-esque showdown, the followers of Tubal set out to destroy Noah and his family, whilst preparing to instil their power upon the arc. With the help of The Watchers, and of the promised flood, Noah fends off the naysayers and begins his journey aboard the water, waiting out the coming events set onto him by the Almighty himself.
Russell Crowe delivers another very strong performance through his interpretation of a man on a journey from God. As well as great accompanying performances by Emma Watson (Ila), Logan Lerman (Ham), and Jennifer Connelly (Naameh), this apocalyptic journey is quite pleasing to the senses.
Visually, the film is absolutely stunning; especially in a re-telling of the creation of the world by Noah, Aronofsky delivers beautiful cohesive transition sequences to en-capture the Beginning. Another fantastic addition to the film is that of Ham’s journey to manhood, and his tribulations he faces in an incredibly simplistic, yet incredibly engaging coming of age story. Through themes of defiance, parenthood, and free-will, Aronofsky crafts a beautiful masterpiece of a film.

Not sure where to start? We can help!
Why STEM as a CSR?
STEM schools and Labs are the perfect model for an innovative age. The curriculum puts a special focus on problem-based learning so that the students can instantly apply the knowledge they're gaining. This integrated system is key to long-term memory of the subject matter.
How do I get started doing STEM in Schools?
Our team of STEM professionals has extensive knowledge of Best Practices in STEM at all levels. We know what is out there, what has worked and what has not worked. We have not only researched worldwide best practices in curriculum, STEM projects, and CSR programs, but we have been hands-on with many of them -- including building our own STEM Labs and schools from the ground up.
What is Integrated STEM Curriculum?
It is learning that is cross-curricular and brings together interactive concepts from multiple disciplines versus keeping them in “silos”. It represents the real world where disciplines are not isolated and in fact, is more natural. Integrated STEM has been shown to improve student achievement, and help students to develop more confidence and competence in the process.
We can customize and work with your Company or School to implement a multi-year strategy and roadmaps depending on what level you wish to achieve. We can provide ongoing support to keep you up to date with new programs, and help with traceability to standards.
Strategize and Prioritize
The first step to becoming a successful CSR in education is evaluating your current level. By assessing where you're excelling and where you're falling short we can begin customizing a plan to help set goals and establish timelines.
Because of our experience with developing STEM schools and Labs for schools and companies, we are more than equipped to help you on the path to revolutionizing the way you educate.
Envision the Future
The ultimate goal of STEM Champ is to prepare students that are ready for careers in the modern world. Our pathway puts an emphasis on introducing students to useful life skills at an early level so that they're confident when it comes time to pick a job.
Training Educators
It's important that the relationship between a teacher and their students is constantly reaffirming the importance of learning all the time. With our teacher training we offer valuable projects for teachers to bring back to their students.

Metatron: Right, right. Your cat pic blog.
Chuck: Yeah. They're super cute. So there's that. And I traveled, a lot, you know. And I dated. I had some girlfriends, had a few boyfriends. Oh, I learned how to play guitar.
Metatron: You invented souls! Souls! Try shining a light on that, how did that make you feel?
Chuck: Nauseous.
Metatron: You know what? No. That is not G-O-D talking, that's Chuck talking. And I get it. When you were on Earth you had to go full method. Well, it's time for you to get back into character.
Deputy Harris: It'll all be over soon. He's not going to save them. It's all going away, forever. But not you Dean.

Chuck: Eh, it's her time to shine.
Metatron: You want to write the best-selling autobiography of all time, you explain to me -- tell me why you abandoned me. Us.
Chuck: Because you disappointed me. You all disappointed me.
Metatron: No, look. I know I'm a disappointment, but you're wrong about humanity. They are your greatest creation because they're better than you are. Yeah, sure, they're weak and they cheat and steal and... destroy and disappoint. But they also give and create and they sing and dance and love. And above all, they never give up. But you do.
Sam: We're not gonna make it.
Dean: No-no-no. There's no quittin' here.
Sam: We were never gonna make it.
Dean: Sam that's not you talking, it's the fog.
Sam: You're gonna choose Amara. Over me. Over everything.
Dean: Sam, No!
Sam: I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I can't fight this, you gotta go. You gotta get out before you get infected. Before I hurt you.
Dean: No. I'm not leaving you, ever! Stop this! You hear me, you dick?
Chuck: We should probably talk.
"Don't Call Me Shurley" is a reference to a famous scene from the 1980 comedy Airplane! in which a character upon being asked, "Surely you can't be serious?" replies with "I am serious. And don't call me Shirley."
Many of the events that take place in Hope Springs, Idaho, during the episode are similar to the events of a movie called Ghost Storm made in 2011. The movie is about the residents of a small island trying to survive a supernatural storm.
Metatron: Yeah, Toto. I got a feeling we aren't on Earth, either.
Toto is Dorothy's dog in the book and film of The Wizard of Oz. When she enters Oz, she says "Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."
Metatron: God... You've come back. I can't believe you've come back. I-I didn't mean what I said about Supernatural, it's underrated, due for a reboot. And this bar -- it's not crappy at all, it's just like the one in Cheers. Everybody knows my name. And the lights are very forgiving-
Cheers was an 1980s sitcom set in a neighborhood bar in Boston. A line in the theme song refers to it as a place where "everybody knows your name."
Hope Springs, Idaho is a reference to the saying "Hope Springs Eternal," taken from Alexander Pope's An Essay on Man.
Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never is, but always to be blessed:
The soul, uneasy and confined from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.
Metatron: So whatcha been up to?
Chuck: Oh, I've been super busy. Yeah, I traveled, started a blog -- mostly just picture of cats. So cute. Oh I signed up for Snapchat! And I started a new series of books - Revolution. I don't think it's going anywhere.
Revolution was the name of the TV series that Eric Kripke made after Supernatural. It was cancelled after two seasons. After the airing of the episode Kripke tweeted that "Robbie Thompson, good guy that he is, ran it all past me. I wildly approved."
Chuck: You know what humanity's greatest creation has been? Music. That and nacho cheese, even I could have dreamt up that deliciousness. But music is magic. A lot of remarkable music was created in the space -- B.G.'s Canteen. Now it's not as well known as the Bitter End or the Gaslight. But some amazing musicians got their start on this stage. I'm hoping that you and I can tap into some of that old magic and finish what I started a few months ago.
The Bitter End and The Gaslight Cafe are famous rock and folk venues in New York City.
Metatron: You wanna get the old band back together. Lennon and McCartney ride again.
Chuck: Well, I'm kinda Lennon and McCartney, but every writer needs a good editor. I did some of my best work with you Metatron.
John Lennon and Paul McCartney were the main songwriters for the English band The Beatles.
Sam and Dean use the aliases Agent Greer and Ehart, reference to Kansas members Billy Greer and Phil Ehart. The Twitter account for Kansas tweeted during the broadcast and acknowledged the shout-out.
Metatron: I'll tell you, there's some great bones in there. I'm thinking what's missing maybe less about detail and more about balance.
Chuck: How do you mean?
Metatron: You're giving the wrong stuff too much real estate. Like that chapter about being Chuck.
Chuck: Mmhm. What about it?
Metatron: Once you've explained the Vonnegut performance art. That should be it, no one cares about the rest.
Chuck referenced writer Kurt Vonnegut before in 4.18 The Monster at the End of This Book, comparing writing himself in his story to the novel Kilgore Trout, where the main character confronts the author character.
Metatron: There are two types of memoir. One is honest, the other, not so much. Truth and fairy tale. Now do you wanna write Life by Keith Richards or Wouldn't It Be Nice by Brian Wilson?
"Life" is a memoir by musician Keith Richards. "Wouldn't It Be Nice: My Own Story" is a memoir by musician Brian Wilson.
Metatron: There are no revelations in this book. And that's weird given who you are!
Revelation is the final book of the New Testament. It deals, in part, with prophecy and the Apocalypse.
Chuck: This is me.
Metatron: Really. This? This pile of self-doubt and nebbishness flooded the Earth? Followed up Sodom with a blockbuster Gomorrah. Created as much as he punished. No, the guy I worked for, total bad ass. And yes he could be a dick. Now that guy had a lot of stories to tell, and he has a lot to answer for.
Sodom and Gomorrah were cities mentioned in the Bible. God passed divine judgment on these cities and destroyed them for their wickedness.
Deputy Harris Hey dispatch, this is 3 William 56. You got your ears on?
3 William 56 is the call sign for Sgts. Murtaugh and Riggs' cruiser in the Lethal Weapon film series. The phrase "You got your ears on" is commonly used by CB radio users to find out if another is on the airwaves.
Metatron: Hold up a mirror and show us who you are. Warts and all. Write for an audience of one -- you.
Chuck: Dance like no one else is watching.
Writing for an audience of one is a belief held by many writers, including Kurt Vonnegut and Jim Steinbeck. "Dance like no one else is watching" is a reference to this inspirational quote by William W. Purkey: "You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like there’s nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth."
When Chuck gives himself a little pat on the chest when he finishes his book, it recalls what the character Brian (played by Anthony Michael Hall) does after he writes his essay in the 1985 movie The Breakfast Club.
Chuck: At a certain point the training wheels have got to come off. No one likes a helicopter parent.
A helicopter parent is one who takes an excessively close or overprotective interest in the life of their child.

The Empty
Revision as of 12:41, 24 March 2020 by Beanmom (talk | contribs)
Castiel finds himself in the Empty.
Why do they call this place the Empty? It's full. It's full of sorrow and despair playing over and over again, of angels and demons dreaming about their regrets. Forever.

Cosmic Entity: You see, before God and Amara, creation, destruction, Heaven, Hell, your precious little Earth, what was there?
Castiel: Nothing.
Cosmic Entity: Yes. That's right. Nothing. Nothing but Empty. And you are soaking in it. Angels and demons, you all come here when you die.
– Cosmic Entity and Castiel, 13.04 The Big Empty
Before the Universe and even God and the Darkness, there was only the Empty, an infinite black void. The Empty appears to exist outside of creation, and is the final resting place of angels and demons. A Cosmic Entity appears to preside over the Empty sleeping alongside the dead angels and demons. The rare act of an angel or demon awakening in the Empty will jostle the entity from its slumber and keep it awake until they are either revived or go back to sleep.
The Empty is first referenced by the reaper Billie, when she is delivering a message to Sam regarding his and Dean's place after the death of Death. She states that nothing is able to come back from the Empty and the Cosmic Entity also claims that no other being has control in the Empty, not even God. However, both of these claims are later disproven. After being awoken by Jack, the Entity sends Castiel back to Earth to return to sleep.[1] Nick manages to open a portal to the Empty and briefly release Lucifer until Jack sends him back and kills Nick.[2] God is shown to be capable of bringing dead angels and demons back from the Empty when he revives Lilith to aid in his plans.[3]
11.02 Form and Void
While Sam is investigating the rabid infection in Superior, Nebraska, he is visited by Billie, a reaper who has a message to deliver to Sam and Dean. She tells Sam that for their roles in Death's death, once they die they will not go to Heaven or Hell, but be thrown into the Empty by the next reaper who comes for them, stressing that she hopes that it is her who does the deed.
11.17 Red Meat
When Dean kills himself to meet with Billie to get Sam back from the dead, she tells him that the answer will always be "no" to them and that Sam's not dead because if either he or Dean dies, she would know. She tries to take Dean to the Empty, but Dean is revived by Dr. Kessler, forcing Billie to leave.
13.03 Patience
As Castiel's body lays motionless in a black void, he is jostled to consciousness upon hearing Jack whisper his name. Castiel picks himself up in a confused haze and looks out upon the infinite emptiness he has found himself in.
The Cosmic Entity questions Castiel in the Empty.
13.04 The Big Empty
Castiel wanders around the Empty looking for anyone, inadvertently awakening the Cosmic Entity from its slumber. The Entity takes on Castiel's form and speaks in a eloquent voice, telling Castiel that its true form would drive him mad and explaining the purpose of the Empty to Castiel. The Entity reveals that the Empty is the final resting place of all angels and demons, where they peacefully sleep in an eternal slumber. This prompts the Entity to question why Castiel is awake and complain that it cannot go back to sleep until Castiel does. The Entity tries to convince Castiel to go back to sleep rather than return to Earth and face everything he's done. However, Castiel steadfastly keeps his resolve and threatens to keep them awake for all eternity, driving them both insane, until it sends him back to Earth. Realizing its threats of throwing Castiel deeper into the Empty and its beatings will not work on the angel, the Cosmic Entity appears to accept the deal and sends Castiel back to Earth.
13.06 Tombstone
After greeting a revived Castiel, Sam and Dean are perplexed as to how he is back. Castiel tells them that he was in the Empty and that he annoyed an ancient cosmic being so much that he was revived. He tells them what the Empty looked like, its purpose as the final resting place for angels and demons when they die, and how he was awakened by hearing someone call his name. They eventually discover that since God has no influence in the Empty, it was Jack Kline who called out to him and inadvertently brought him back to life.
14.07 Unhuman Nature
A distraught Nick prays to Lucifer after killing Frank Kellogg. His prayers to be with Lucifer again cause something to rise up from the black viscous void, taking the form of a skeletal figure with glowing red eyes.
14.08 Byzantium
The Cosmic Entity invades Heaven to drag the recently deceased Jack Kline into the Empty. The remaining angels send a distress signal through angel radio, prompting Castiel to respond. The Entity appears as a liquid mass of black ooze that chases after Jack through the corridors of Heaven and possesses the angels Naomi and Dumah. When the Entity, in the form of Dumah, locates Jack in Kelly Kline's heaven, it tells him that he's going to the Empty which is "worse than Hell because at least Hell is 'something.'" After a brief battle, Castiel makes a deal with the Entity to take Jack's place. The Entity accepts, but it decides to let Castiel continue living his life until the moment he's truly happy as it wants him to suffer for awakening it from its slumber. It releases Dumah and disappears into a nearby vent, retreating to the Empty.
Nick opens a portal to the Empty.
14.17 Game Night
Nick reveals to Sam that Lucifer is awake in the Empty and Nick was able to communicate with him through Donatello Redfield. Using Jack Kline's blood, Nick performs a spell which opens a portal to the Empty from which Lucifer emerges, still in the black viscous form he had in the Empty. Before Lucifer can repossess Nick, Jack intervenes, kills Nick, and sends Lucifer back to the Empty, closing the portal in the process.
14.20 Moriah
After Chuck kills Jack Kline, Jack awakens in the Empty, where he is greeted by the Cosmic Entity in the form of a viscous black humanoid which forms a smile upon its face. After Jack asks what happened, Billie appears behind him and states that they should talk about that.
15.05 Proverbs 17:3
Chuck brings Lilith back from the Empty to aid in his plans, specifically to retrieve the Equalizer from the Winchesters.
15.09 The Trap
As Jack looks around the Empty, Billie appears behind him to announce that "it's time."
15.11 The Gamblers
A resurrected Jack explains to the Winchesters and Castiel that Billie had kept him stashed away in the Empty for safety from God. Once God left the Earth, it was safe for Billie to resurrect him as part of a plan for Jack to become strong enough to kill God Himself.
15.13 Destiny's Child
By having Jack remove most of his lifeforce, Castiel is brought to the brink of death and visits the Empty in search of Ruby. Taking on the form of Meg, the Cosmic Entity reluctantly directs Castiel to Ruby, who reveals the location of the Occultum in exchange for Castiel's promise of help in getting out of the Empty. However, before he can leave, the Entity begins torturing Castiel. On the orders of the Winchesters, Jack returns Castiel's lifeforce, bringing him back from the Empty.
The concept of the Empty is reminiscent of Sheol, which the Hebrew Bible describes as a place of stillness and darkness, cut off from life and God, where both the righteous and the wicked go upon death. As per written in Book of Psalm 139:8 "If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Hell (or Sheol), behold, You are there." It implies that God holds some power in Sheol.

Sabum Paul Bailey | 4th Degree International Instructor
At eleven years of age Mr Bailey started TKD in Brisbane under an ITF offshoot. His parents were reluctant to let him try any contact sports as he was a troubled child with anger management issues. The instructor of the local Dojang convinced his parents that it would do Paul more good than bad.
Two years later, after training sixteen hours every week, Mr Bailey graded for his black belt and was trouble free. He became an assistant junior instructor and helped many people progress further into their TKD life. In 1989 he and his family moved to Sydney where he joined a WTF Dojang instructing, training, coaching and competing at a national level for many years.
In the year 2000 Mr Bailey moved to Townsville where he met Mr Bower and was introduced to the true ITF form of Taekwon-Do. It wasn't until then, that Mr Bailey's training really began. With the incorporation of science and history Paul was able to increase his skill level ten fold.
Mr Bailey recently (09/16) graded to 4th degree Black Belt and an International Instructor. Congratulations Mr Bailey! Mr Bailey moved to Melbourne in late 2017.

A number of invitational events and many regional events in the above timeline are not listed although I've attended and competed at them all the same. I can't be certain of the Divisions I've won or where I came otherwise, though I did well winning medals, usually Gold (Medals are in my possession but are unmarked for their divisions). It should be noted though that not every event offered Champion of Champion awards. I also haven't included non-Taekwon-Do recognitions such as North Queensland Sportstar of the Year and Commercially sponsored Newspaper Sportsperson of the Year, etc.
My background; I began Taekwon-Do in March of 1984 and earned my first degree in June of 1988, grading to second in 1996. Until the Christmas of 1998, I was tutored in a system of Taekwon-Do that discouraged competition, painting it as a dangerous and weakening compromise on life-saving self-defence and therefore it was a huge step for me to partake in my first Tournament in 1999. The experience was a groundbreaking insight into the differing points of view on competition, one that would warrant an article all of it's own. I did particularly well at this regional competition, winning my sparring and power breaking divisions. I also medalled in Patterns though I don't remember which place it was. I also tested for third degree this same year. I continued cutting my teeth on seminars and regional comps travelling in some cases up to 8 hours drive each way to participate in them. I generally did well, improving in the Pattern competitions and continuing to do well in sparring, power and special at most of these meets. I also enjoyed many opportunities training with Masters and Grand Masters of Taekwon-Do, an experience in itself learning directly from in some cases, the Original Masters of Taekwon-Do. I somehow escaped getting to and State or Nationals until 2001. In late 2000, I was asked to trial for the National Team travelling to Rimini, Italy for the 12th ITF World Championships. I trained and tried out for all events however was ousted in all of them spare Power Breaking. this was my only individual event. I was also fielded as a member for the Team Sparring event but never took the mat in competition. En-route relocating to Australia's Capital, I contested the Queensland State Titles for the first time and came away winning most of my divisions including Sparring, Patterns and Power. I also earned the Champion of Champions Trophy, an excellent incidental leading into the 2001 World Championships in Italy. For everything that occurred, the Gold Medal was certainly the highlight of my trip to Italy and the Championships. It turns out this was the first time that Australia had won a Gold medal at an ITF World Championship, an auspicious occasion and a very proud moment for me personally.
In 2003, the 13th ITF World Championships in Thessaloniki, I again represented in Power however I also represented in Special technique and Patterns. A bad draw meant I scored DPRK First round in Patterns and didn't progress. I also didn't do well in Special, the only event I did Medal in was Power yet again, however only earning Bronze for my efforts. We also fielded a Power and Sparring Team where we won Bronze for Team Power and went so far as the round prior to the medals round in Sparring being ousted by the Russian team. On a personal level, I was proud to note I didn't lose any of my sparring bouts winning or drawing each one I contested.
2005 saw the 14th World Championships come to Caloundra, Australia. Again, I was able to qualify to represent in all events except Sparring contesting Patterns, Power breaking and Special Technique. I also competed in Team Power Breaking. I regained the World Champion title winning Gold in Power Breaking once again and with a better draw in Patterns got so far as the round before medalling again pipped at the post. I didn't fare well enough in Special to score a medal and in Team Power we again scored a Bronze Medal.
Personal circumstance saw me take a hiatus from active Competition, I began a family not long after testing for 5th Degree in 2005. I kept my hand in Taekwon-Do training but didn't really take to competition seriously again until after I tested to 6th Degree in 2011.
I was offered the opportunity to put together the Australian Team for the First UITF World Championships eventually centring on Hertfordshire, United Kingdom in 2013. With the advent of a World Cup format (i.e. no restrictions per country on entrants per division), we were able to field much of our experience and talent normally narrowed out by the exclusionary conditions of a World Championship. This resulted in Australia proudly performing well, gaining much in the way of medals and experience. I personally won Gold in Patterns, Destruction and Sparring though had to withdraw from the Individual Special Technique event due to injury. We also fielded in team events winning Gold in Patterns and Special Technique and Bronze in Power and Sparring. The Team also took home the Veteran Male and Female Champion of Champions Trophies of which I earned the Male Veterans. This is by far the most successful foray on the International stage both personally as a Competitor and as the National Coach for the Australian Team. I will no doubt along with every other member of the Australian Team take away an invaluable and forever treasured experience from these World Championships. We cultured much in the way of good will and friendships that will last for many years, one we hope to strengthen at the next and every further World Championships we attend.
Although my history features strong competition highlights, the experience and exposure to many of the world's most Senior Taekwon-Do proponents through Seminars and International Events has given me a strong foundation into the Art paralleled by few. Competition detractors aside, the depth and breadth of understanding required to compete in all technical events available to a Taekwon-Do practitioner gives the most unified and practical insight into every aspect of the Art. I have trained personally and attended seminars conducted by many Masters and Grand Masters of Taekwon-Do including Four of the 12 Original Masters; Master Chong Chul Rhee, Grand Master Chang Keun Choi, Grand Master Park Jong Sue and Grand Master Rhee Ki Ha. Although I met with the Founder, General Choi Hong Hi, My one regret is not having the opportunity to attend his seminar before he passed away in 2002. Nonetheless, I strive to teach Taekwon-Do as I believe General Choi envisioned it.
Your Instructors are Ready and Waiting!

My Morning Jacket - The Waterfall (Deluxe Version)
Written by Scott Mertens
My Morning Jacket successfully pushes the envelope to new and refreshing places with The Waterfall.
The Waterfall (Deluxe Version)
Artist: My Morning Jacket
Release Date: May 4, 2015
Duration: 14 tracks, 1:03:06
My Morning Jacket (MMJ) is well known for their big, arena-like sound, experimental compositions combining many genres and pushing commonly understood structures of modern music, and Jim James vocal range and poetic lyrics. Each of their releases grows exponentially in this way. The Waterfall is all this and more, and does not disappoint.
The opener, “Believe (Nobody Knows)”, is an all-encompassing experience with a large, expansive sound and poetic lyrics challenging faith, life, and love. Here there is movement, growth, and reflection melded into one in a thought provoking entry to the collection. MMJ has a way of creating a musical journey of each album they produce much like early Led Zeppelin and other bands of the early 70s. “Compound Fracture”, “Like A River” and “Tropics (Erase Traces)” show this quality.
Most experimental of the collection, “In Its Infancy (The Waterfall)” plays with placement of the refrain underpinned by slight chord changes with breaks to gentle, rolling lyrics and rhythm. The placement and pounding-like reverb of the song’s refrain breaking hard to its message is an example of MMJ’s ability to marry melody and message. A much lighter, playful touch follows with “Get The Point” reminding the listener of early Harry Chapin tunes.
“Spring (Among The Living)”, has an urgent, post-apocalyptic feel while the shadowy “Thin Line” casts doubt on love’s lasting values, both with a big, engaging sound. “Big Decisions” falls within this story line. The soft, mid-60ish leanings of “Only Memories Remain” give a final meditational note to the journey.
The deluxe version has a second CD containing outtakes and a demo not uncommon for MMJ to produce and always providing a new and interesting side to their music. Acoustic guitar and James’ vocals make “Hillside Song (Bonus Track)”, a sad ballad, come live. “Compound Fracture (Miami Jungle Version / Bonus Track)” gives a raw and unfinished vision. “I Can’t Wait (Bonus Track)” has a simple, bouncy mid-60s feel. With simple rhythm and lead guitar parts accompanying James’ vocals this rendition of “Only Memories Remain (Jim Demo / Bonus Track)” gives an interesting perspective to the song having an eerie John Lennon-like vibe.
Like the old saying ‘Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue’, The Waterfall has it all. Perhaps not for everyone as MMJ refuses to hide behind what is normally accepted and popular. Like a true artist, My Morning Jacket successfully pushes the envelope to new and refreshing places with The Waterfall.

Thirteen Billion, Lucky for Some?
September 6, 2016 by Attac Ireland Leave a Comment
By Tony Phillips, Attac. (First published in the Irish Left Review).
Cork is a pretty city on the river Lee in the south of Ireland where I lived for part of my childhood. Cupertino in the Silicon Valley is the HQ of Apple Inc. As an Irishman and former Silicon Valley software engineer (who is ironically typing this article on an Apple Mac) what is my problem? Doesn’t Apple provide 60,000 Irish jobs? Well it turns out Apple’s small investments in staffing and infrastructure in Ireland are dwarfed by the benefits Apple accrued from a special relationship with the Irish legal and taxation system which it has been milking for billions for years.
Calling out this fiscal black hole has caused a full-blown international political battle, the result of just one decision on one corporation which, as it turns out, was not operating in Cork. This Apple incident is just one such ‘discovery’ representing just the tip of the iceberg. Since 1980 some Apple products are ‘made’ in Cork, or, to be more precise, Apple claim that value was added in Cork, what seems to be more important is that Cork also housed certain non-US Apple sales and distribution channels. The recent European commission decision has revealed that Apple’s profits from Cork operations were not recognized in Cork or anywhere on the planet for that matter. The commission cried foul. Apple products share much with that other Cork marvel of modern technology, the Titanic, which though built in Belfast, made its first (and last) trip from Cork just 100 years ago. Experience is a hard teacher.
As I write this Irish national parliament is being called back from their vacation recess to deal with a 13 Billion Euro windfall (or rather it is being asked to reject it). The money from the black-hole has been accumulating over ten years. Just this one black hole from one large Apple corporation – with the scandalous submission of various Irish governments – has brought a major political crisis in Ireland’s post-Brexit relationship with the European Community. Naked threats of retaliation have come from officials in Washington DC reflecting a major trade tiff with the European Community – Ireland, as facilitator of this Tax fiddle is playing the role ofpiggy in the middle.
Despite US treats of retaliation the Commission went ahead and told Apple to pay back taxes to Ireland amounting to thirteen billion euro plus interest. The EU strongly hinted that the Irish government should also turn around and pay this 13 Billion to its EU creditors as part payment for Ireland’s recent EU-funded sovereign debt implosion.
Ireland’s recent financial collapse began with a Euro-funded credit explosion, transformed into an Irish real-estate bubble (which popped) resulting in a serious financial crash. In walks the Troika and transforms a local financial collapse into sovereign debt so as to dig out European creditors to the collapsed Irish banks.
Unsurprisingly Apple cried foul of its order of the Commission decision, it plans to appeal[sic.]. Apple’s thirteen billion will be held in a managed escrow account while this appeal is heard. Much more surprisingly, however, is the fact that Ireland’s Finance Minister, Michael Noonan of the centre-right Fine Gael party (part of a currently governing fragile government coalition) has begged the Irish parliament to come back from vacation to back his call to appeal the Commission’s decision. Yes Ireland’s own finance minister is asking its parliament to reject a windfall payment that could pay off 6% of the nation’s sovereign debt. As Ben Afflec’s character Chuckie Sullivan in Gus Van Sant’s Good will Hunting would put it:
“How do you like them apples?”
At the root of this political and fiscal impasse is just one small Apple company (AOI) with three directors and no employees which has been assigned vast profits. In 2013 John Cassidy wrote an article for The New Yorkermagazine about the US Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations hearings where Apple was investigated for its aggressive taxation policies; I quote:
“Apple Operations International, generated thirty billion dollars of profits between 2009 and 2012 but paid no corporate income at all, not a penny.”
Apple Operations International (AOI) is not a real company; it has no HQ, no employees and does not even exist in Ireland but it exploits what Mr. Cassidy calls a ‘quirk’ in Irish taxation law which makes it exempt from paying taxes in Ireland or anywhere. In other words AOI is a company on paper only which is related to an Irish Apple company. It is a stateless entity designed specifically to exploit a loophole in Irish tax law; which was later closed. That loophole was in turn designed by corporate legal accountants and written into Irish law to facilitate AOI (and other such non-companies in Ireland) by making them exempt from Irish (or anyone else’s) taxation. Corporations have used this loophole for years to gain EU access to markets for their products and services (by adding value in Ireland) while being exempt from paying taxes on corporate profits.
In layman’s language AOI is a tax scam. Irish tax lawyers wrote the loopholes into the Irish legislation to facilitate such scams. This makes the Irish legislature jointly culpable with the corporations who exploit the loophole and the politicians who protect them.
The end result is that governments across the planet where Apple products were sold are starved of the legitimate corporate taxation on Apple profits made in their markets, as a result of local Apple sales. The global multinational tax system is beyond broken; it has become corporate fraud.
This problem is not unique to Apple, to Cork, to Ireland, or to the EU. It is rather the result of a global takeover of government legislation on corporate taxation and the transfer pricing arrangements that enables flows of trillions of dollars of profits away from local taxation to hide in offshore entities in the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Ireland, the UK (to name but a few).
This single Apple payment for profits assigned to one of its affiliate paper corporations is just the tip of the iceberg, the system of which it is a part represents a fantastic transfer of wealth from the tax-paying poor to the non-taxpaying rich (the shareholders of multinational corporations). What we are witnessing is pure neoliberalism in action, the result of the free movement of globalised trade (and profits made) with nationally protected taxation ‘quirks’ liberating capital on its global search for tax avoidance. The barkeep’s tip for this convenience is a few local jobs in Cork. What is more pathetic still is that we are hearing about this since one incident because Apple is a manufacturer of a recognizable consumer product and also because something is being done about this fraud only because it ruptures another neoliberal tenet “competition rules” adjudicated by the European Commission an organization that seeks to provide a level playing field for corporate capital within the EU.
This story will not end with Ireland or Apple. The next phase is being played out in the latest G20 meeting in Beijing where, among other issues, corporate taxation of multinational profits is being discussed. But don’t hold your breath for global tax justice while the revolving doors still spin in the upper echelon’s of government and corporate power and while laws like the Trade In Services Agreements (TISA) are written in secret by corporate lawyers and passed by compliant government. Expect that this system will continue to mean that government services like education and health will continue to be funded by personal worker and consumer taxation while global corporate profits defy borders in their contorted paths toward tax evasion for the rich.

Head Out To The West Side This Thursday For ‘The Lonely Wild’
Cause A Scene — May 22, 2013 — Leave a comment
Start your weekend early and come on out tomorrow night to The Stone Fox in West Nashville to see The Lonely Wild. We at Cause A Scene are thrilled to be bringing you the LA-based quintet who’s lyrical depth, combined with their superior instrumental arrangements and versatile vocal dynamics yield a rare musical persona that is shaking up the indie rock circuit.
They are also sure to shake things up in Nashville tomorrow night. The band’s live stage presence has garnered them a rapid and steady buzz as they tour across the US in promotion of their first full-length album, The Sun As It Comes, which released just last month. Having been described by American Songwriter as possessing “an anthemic sound — equal parts western, southern and something not quite defined by geographic adjectives,” you will not want to miss your chance to see these guys on their stop through Nashville.
To top off what is sure to be a spectacular evening of music in West Nashville, we will be treated with the music of two local acts. Little Bandit is a hometown country quintet who’s music contains a modern, folk edge. Along with Birmingham, AL natives, Banditos, who’s sound is a gritty blend of southern grunge-rock and honky tonk, these two bands will certainly flesh out a an excellent bill for the evening. Tickets can be purchased for $7 at the door. Show starts at 9:00 PM.
The Lonely Wild- ‘Buried In The Murder’ (Live at The Echo in Los Angeles)
Little Bandit- ‘Platform Shoes’
Banditos- ‘Long Gone, Anyway’
