Baby: An Alimentary Canal with a Loud Voice at One End and No Responsibility at the Other
Elizabeth I. Adamson? Ronald Knox? Ronald Reagan? Anonymous?
Dear Quote Investigator: There is a definition that refers to the two ends of a baby. One end consists of a loud voice or a big appetite, and the other end is given a comical description. Are you familiar with this joke? Would you please research its origin?
Quote Investigator: The earliest instance located by QI appeared in the July 1937 issue of “The Reader’s Digest”. Emphasis added to excerpts by QI: 1
BABY: An alimentary canal with a loud voice at one end and no responsibility at the other.—Elizabeth I. Adamson
QI does not have any biographical information for Adamson, but based on current evidence she was the most likely creator of this quip. In 1965 future president Ronald Reagan extended the metaphorical framework to construct a barb aimed at government.
Details are given below together with selected citations in chronological order.
Monthly magazines such as “The Reader Digest” are usually available one or two weeks before the cover date. This helps to explain how a newspaper in Amarillo, Texas was able to print the same joke and ascription on June 30, 1937: 2
But speaking of new arrivals I heard of a new description the other day. It was by Elizabeth Adamson and was something like this:
A baby is an alimentary canal with a loud voice at one end and no responsibility at the other.
On July 1, 1937 a newspaper in Algona, Iowa published a variant that used “loud mouth” instead of “loud voice” and “without responsibility” instead of “no responsibility”. Interestingly, “The Reader’s Digest” received credit for the slightly garbled instance: 3
Exchanges Opened the Readers’ Digest this morning fresh from the mail to find this one: “A baby is an alimentary canal with a loud mouth at one end and without responsibility at the other.”
On July 13, 1937 an exact match to the text and ascription in “The Readers Digest” appeared in The Longview Daily News of Longview, Texas although the magazine was not acknowledged: 4
In 1945 Bennett Cerf, the prominent publisher and energetic quotation collector, placed the quip in his collection “Laughing Stock: Over Six-hundred Jokes and Anecdotes of Uncertain Vintage: 5
Baby: An alimentary canal with a loud voice at one end and no responsibility at the other. (E. Adamson)
In 1956 the “Nashua Telegraph” of Nashua, New Hampshire printed a variant using the phrases “loud noise” and “absolutely no sense of responsibility”: 6
The average two-months-old baby appears to be either wet or hungry all the time, and, in general, could be defined as an organism consisting of a loud noise at one end, and absolutely no sense of responsibility at the other.
In March 1965 Ronald Reagan who was planning to run for the Governorship of California delivered a speech at the California Republican Assembly, He told a version of the joke with an application to government: 7
“I’ve never seen a temporary tax. Government is like a baby—it’s got an alimentary canal at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.”
The statement of the joke above appeared to be garbled. In November 1965 “The New York Times” reported on a stump speech by Reagan that included an improved version of the quip: 8
Reagan’s standard speech is a homespun spiel about farmers persecuted for violating their crop quota allotments and business enterprises harried by Government red tape. It is spiced with wisecracks: “The Government is like a baby’s alimentary canal, with a healthy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other.”
Quotation expert Nigel Rees 9 noted that the 1969 reference work “Quotations for Speakers and Writers” by Allen Andrews credited the following to an English priest and writer: 10
A loud noise at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
FATHER RONALD KNOX 1888-1957
In conclusion, QI would provisionally credit Elizabeth I. Adamson with the quip about babies based on “The Reader’s Digest” citation. In addition, QI would credit Ronald Reagan with the joke about government based on the “Los Angeles Times” and “The New York Times” citations.

Lent 2019: A Time for Prayer, Fasting, Repentance — and Action
By Jim Wallis
Timing is important. Sometimes timing is everything. That may be true now with the likely release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on President Trump and his campaign’s possible coordination with Russia during the 2016 election season and potential obstruction of justice. It seems the report is likely to be delivered to Attorney General William Barr during the Christian liturgical season of Lent. This Lent a group of Christian elders have issued a pastoral letter calling for “prayer, fasting, and action,” all of which are appropriate for the Lenten season but are also particularly well timed this year to anchor us for a potential national and even constitutional crisis.
As many in the Christian faith begin to observe Lent, the Reclaiming Jesus elders are renewing their call today to Christians to remain steadfast in their faith and engage with the deepening challenges our nation faces. Today marks the release of a new video featuring several of the Reclaiming Jesus elders urging Christians everywhere to apply Lenten spiritual practices to our lives and to the dangers facing our democracy.
Lent is an appropriate time to respond to moral crisis as it is traditionally characterized by prayer, penitence, and almsgiving — which one can define broadly as solidarity with the most vulnerable. Since the public launch of the Reclaiming Jesus on Pentecost 2018, the moral and political emergency in our nation has worsened, and constitutional crises may soon be upon us. If our system breaks down, those already most vulnerable now will be most at risk, and protections we have long taken for granted like basic freedom of religion and conscience could also be threatened. This precarious national situation requires a season of prayer, fasting, humility, and repentance.
As 1 Timothy 2:2 tells us: We should pray for political leaders and “all in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity.” That’s what we need to pray for and embody in this political and liturgical season. Transparency and honesty are crucial to how people receive Mueller’s report. If there is perceived to be transparency and honesty in the release of the report, many people will be relieved and feel that justice is going forth. If there isn’t truth and transparency there will be frustration, further anxiety, deep resentment, increased possibility of dangerous political conflict and even violence. So we need to pray for and insist on that transparency and honesty from the Justice Department.
READ: Love Emerges From Our Ashes
Rather than the political responses of left and right, we are calling for a response from the followers of Jesus, anchored in prayer, to protect two things: the checks and balances of power that help protect the common good, and the defense of the “least of these,” which is an instruction of Jesus. Make no mistake that this is not merely a political call, and certainly not a partisan one — it’s founded on the biblical moral values that uphold the common good and society’s most vulnerable people. We call upon our political leaders, not to act for their self-interest and party interest, but to serve the public interest by doing the right things. Sometimes timing is providential.

Syria, Iraq Refugees Blaming US for Their Troubles

Refugees are streaming into Europe from Syria and Iraq, escaping the rapacious fist of ISIL. While the extremist "Islamic State" cuts a clear bogeyman, many refugees are pointing their fingers at the West, especially the US, and their handling of the situation.
Rzgar Abdul, 28, fled his home in Iraq to escape ISIS. He now resides in a barrack-style campground for refugees in Hungary.

He blames his squalid existence on the United States.
“Iraq’s problem is America’s problem,” Abdul said “This crisis is America’s problem. In Iraq, Syria, all over, the U.S. did not do enough.”
However, the CIA alone spent $40 million just in efforts to oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Nonetheless, Abdul’s views are shared by refugees across countries in Europe and the Middle East.
Refugee Jebrail Mohamed, 26, said the United State’s failure to use more man power in Syria led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands.
That sentiment stretches to Europe’s political figures.

Sahra Wagenknecht and Dietmar Bartsch, deputy chairpersons of the Left Party in the German Parliament, said in a policy paper, “Killer gangs, such as the Islamic State, were indirectly supported and without hindrance supplied with money and weapons from countries including those allied with Germany,” apparently referring to early efforts to back moderate rebels in Syria.
Now, President Barack Obama has declared the U.S. will extend asylum to 10,000 Syrian refugees.
Europe faces an even larger burden.
The European Union on Friday delayed for a month a proposed refugee resettlement program due to indecisiveness over how to deal with the massive influx.

Public Health Considerations Also Factor in Letting Syrian Refugees in US

In Hungary, Prime Minister Viktor Orban denounced migrants bringing trouble to his country.
“They seized railway stations, rejected giving fingerprints, failed to cooperate and are unwilling to go to places where they would get food, water, accommodation and medical care,” Orban said at a news conference Friday. “They rebelled against Hungarian legal order.”
The UN is planning to provide supplies for 95,000 in the region including prefabricated homes for 300 families.

Downtown protected bike lane may not include Hollis Street right away
Councillor says the development of the Hollis Street bike lane will be put off until 2019
By Lama El Azrak
December 8, 2017, 8:15 am ADTLast Updated: December 8, 2017, 8:15 am
The Hollis Street bike lane is often blocked by loading vehicles. Lama El Azrak
The Halifax Regional Municipality will continue planing the development of a permanent downtown “all ages and abilities” bike lane, but Hollis Street may not be a part of it right away.
The Transportation Standing Committee passed a motion Thursday for regional council to continue planning for the protected bike lane. The protected bike lane will be made up of a network of bike lanes that run north-south through downtown Halifax.
Dave MacIsaac, active transportation program supervisor, said that HRM’s active transportation program has been working towards ensuring that several downtown bike lanes are safe enough to fall under “all ages and abilities.”
HRM is also planning on extending bike lanes to make sure they run north-south, as part of the Active Transportation Priorities Plan. The Hollis Street bike lane has been identified as a candidate route for this plan because Hollis is one of the main employment districts in the downtown core.
HRM planning bike lane changes for downtown Halifax (January 31, 2018)
“We have direction from council to increase the mobile share for bicycle lanes for trips to work,” MacIsaac said after the meeting. “So if that’s a goal of council, we have to have a bike lane where people work.”
Coun. Waye Mason said, in an interview after the meeting, that he’d rather put off Hollis’ work until 2019.
Despite the bike lane being on a busy street with loading vehicles, it does not have any barriers protecting it from traffic. Thus, it may be unsuitable for inexperienced bicyclists.
Mason said it’s not as simple as putting bollards or barriers on the lane because there are many businesses on either side of the street. He said there also needs to be space for loading zones.
The Hollis Street bike lane extends from Cogswell Interchange, south to Terminal Road.
Mason said he thinks the Hollis bike lane should be removed and replaced with a bi-directional bike lane on Lower Water Street.
“Hollis is not happening next year,” he said.
Instead, he said he’d rather focus on other projects that are part of the downtown protected bike lane.
“That advances cycling more than putting bollards on a lane that we’re probably gonna pull out,” Mason said.

Softball’s first game of the year canceled
Senior Meghan Perkins participates in a drill during softball tryouts on March 16. Due to weather, varsity softball's first game, schedules for April 10, was canceled.
Abby Intveld
In the face of snow and weather issues, softball varsity coach Trent Seaman said he got a message April 3 that the first game of the season was canceled.
“There was no notice of when (the game) would be changed to, it just said it would be postponed. I would say we’re not playing for a while,” Seaman said.
According to athletic director Andy Ewald, Bloomington’s athletic department canceled the game against Park April 10 due to snow on the fields, and said softball will most likely have to wait two weeks before they get out on the field.
“The problem with baseball and softball is that not only does the snow have to melt, but the ground then has to dry up,” Ewald said. “With those sports we also use city fields because we don’t have any on campus so we have to wait until the city gives us permission to get out on them.”
Senior varsity softball captain Megan Perkins said the weather has also impacted the extent to which the team can practice.
“Especially for outfielders, we’re not able to be outside so we can’t play with the sun in our eyes or catch balls with that distance in the air which is hard. We also can’t work on sliding and any type of situation because we don’t have the field and the bases,” Perkins said. “Having to practice inside really impacts the strategy of the game.”
According to Ewald, all spring sports, except for synchronized swimming, are having a difficult time due to the weather.
“The (softball) team is trying to practice an outdoor sport inside and it’s really hard on the athletes and is not great on the facilities either. They’re just trying to make the best of the situation and hope that the fields dry up soon,” Ewald said.
Perkins said whenever the first game is, it will be a good way to see what the team needs to improve for the rest of the season.
“I hope to come out ready to go in the first game motivated and try to see where we’re at in the season and how far we’ve come since winter workouts,” Perkins said.
Despite the delay, Seaman said he looks forward to the first game and has high hopes for how the season will go.
“We’re expecting big things. We’re expecting this team to go a long way, by far have the best year St. Louis Park has ever had. It could end up being in a state championship, so that’s what we’re hoping for,” Seaman said.

I got to say, this book was sort of the let-down of the series in my opinion. It was pretty slow compared to the previous two, but it was still really cute, witty and adventurous. I would definitely recommend this series to any kid in elementary school (the target audience) because I think it's just the sort of kid-friendly action-packed novel series that would interest them.

The answer to this riddle has a hole in the middle,
And some have been known to fall in it.
In tennis it's nothing, but it can be received,
And sometimes a person may win it.
Though not seen or heard it may yet be perceived,
Like princes or bees it's in clover.
And without it one cannot start over.
- Mr. Benedict's riddle

"Should we go after her?" Sticky said, when Reynie had shared his concerns. "Maybe we could talk some sense into her, or cling to her legs or something."
"Okay, but please be careful,"he said at last. "I mean extra careful. Like if you were me and not you."
"Now listen, we need to be quiet as mice. No, quieter than that. As quiet as...as..."
"Dead mice?" Reynie suggested.
"Perfect," said Kate with an approving nod. "As quiet as dead mice."
"But you have said it too often, Mr. Benedict!" said Mrs. Perumal in an imperious tone that was quiye out of character. "And if you continue in this vein, I'm afraid we'll be compelled to cut our visit short. Surely there are other establishments that would host an entire troup of guests - indefinitely and without reward - and not feel obliged to apologize for it!"
"You've read half the books in this house? This whole house?"
"Well, approximately half." Sticky said. "To be more accurate, I suppose I've read more like" - his eyes went up as he calculated - "three sevenths? Yes, three sevenths."
"Only three sevenths?" said Kate, pretending to look disappointed. "And here I was prepared to be impressed."
"So what's your team called?" asked Kate, twisting her legs into a pretzel-like configuration, "We're called the Winmates because we're inmates who win."
Kate looked back and forth at Reynie and Constance, searching their expression for signs of delight.
"You gave yourselves a name?" asked Constance.
Now it was Kate's turn to be baffled. "You didn't? How can you have a team without a name?"

The Customer represents and warrants to Enthought that Customer and all of its authorized Users will comply at all times with all applicable laws and regulations in using EPD. If Customer or any of its authorized Users use EPD in an unlawful manner, for unlawful purposes or in any way that does not comply with all applicable laws and regulations, then the license may be revoked by Enthought and, in such event, Customer and its authorized Users will cease using EPD and, at Enthought's discretion, will uninstall EPD and either return to Enthought or destroy all copies of EPD.

Creating a general ledger account scheme
This article deals with creating and applying the general ledger account schemes.
Note for accountants: When you create a general ledger account scheme on the settings tab at Master level, the general ledger account scheme becomes available for all debtors. In that case, all your clients would be able to see and/or notice any modifications. If you want to adjust a general ledger account scheme for one debtor only, you can create a general ledger account scheme at debtor level.
(This note is not applicable to Business clients)
Options when creating an individual scheme
Nmbrs contains a standard general ledger account schemes:
[At Master level under 'System payroll Settings'] General ledger scheme (compact)
This general ledger scheme can be used for the journal entries.
In addition, it is possible to create an individual general ledger scheme under the 'Master Payroll Settings'. You then have three options:
1. Copying lines
When creating a new individual scheme, we recommend that you copy the lines (general ledger accounts) from the standard scheme which Nmbrs has available. If you copy the lines, you can adjust all general ledger accounts and wage codes after copying.
2. Linking lines
If you link lines from the general ledger accounts to another / Master general ledger account scheme you cannot adjust wage codes or delete general ledger accounts, but general ledger numbers can be adjusted. An adjustment in the general ledger account scheme of which the lines are linked automatically generates the same adjustment in the new general ledger account scheme.
3. Starting with an empty scheme
Of course, you can also start with a completely empty scheme, but it is rather time-consuming to add all required wage codes and general ledger accounts. In this case, it is more convenient to copy and customise the standard scheme 'Standard account scheme (compact)'. See item 1.
Adding a new scheme
1. To create a new general ledger account scheme, go to tab Settings (1) and click on 'General Ledger Account Scheme' under 'Master Salary Settings' (2):
2. Click on 'Add New Scheme':
3. Enter the name of the new scheme, copy, if required, the rules of an existing account scheme and click on 'Save':
General ledger accounts and wage codes
4. Click on the 'General Ledger Account' tab(1) and select a scheme (2). To create a new general ledger account, click on 'Add General Ledger Account' (3). It is also possible to adjust an existing general ledger account by clicking on this.
When adding a line: enter the number of the new or changed line and a description and then click on 'Save'. It is possible to fill in these fields alphanumerically. For instance, A1700.
5. Click on the 'Wage Codes' tab (1), select the correct scheme and wage model (2) and click on the line of the wage code to which you want to add the created general ledger number (3):
6. Select the required debit and credit numbers and click on 'Save':
Linking a schedule to a company
1. Via the 'Explorer' tab, go to Company level (1) and click on the menu button (2) at the top right of the screen. Then click on 'Ledger Scheme' (3) under the category 'Salary Settings':
Please note: When you have created a general ledger account scheme and you want to link it retrospectively, you have to change the period first and open the lock (3).
2. Select the required general ledger scheme and click on 'Save':
The new scheme has now been linked to the company.
Updating journal entries
The existing journal entries are still linked to the old schedule. To correct this and to apply the adjusted general ledger account numbers retrospectively, go to 'General -> Company Settings' at company level via the menu button and click on 'Delete content journal entries'.
The current journal entries will be deleted and new journal entries, based on the new scheme, will be created automatically.
Applying changes in the General ledger scheme
When adjustments are made in a general ledger account scheme which is already operational, or another scheme is selected in a previous period at company level, it affects the journal entries. To display the actual adjustments in the journal entries, these have to be recalculated.
For the above reason, journal entries are marked as inconsistent when an adjustment is made in a general ledger account scheme. This marking results in the recalculation of the journal entries when they are opened in the salary documents or when a run is done.
For more information, see the article:Applying adjustments in the General ledger account scheme

Argument Against San Jose-Evergreen School District $748,000,000 Bond Issue: Measure X
In 2010 voters approved a $268,000,000 bond measure “G” to “upgrade, acquire, construct energy-efficient technology-driven teaching classrooms, labs, sites, facilities equipment for health/science, general education/job-training, upgrade outdated electrical, plumbing, heating/ventilation systems”.
Now, just 6 years later, they want to do it all over again, but at almost 3 times the cost, plus interest.
It’s amazing how fast classrooms become obsolete these days.
Can the San Jose-Evergreen School District be trusted with this $748,000,000 bond money debt?
The answer is clearly m NO!
The local TV station (NBC Bay Area) did an extension investigation into the expenditures of the district after the passage of Measure G.
The District advertised one set of goals, then after the measure was passed, other priorities surfaced that led to teachers, students, and taxpayer advocates to question the “bait and switch” tactics employed by the district.
Instead of rebuilding the vocational center buildings, they opted to fund building a new theater and recording studio instead.
Clearly bait and switch by the district.
They have already been wrongly entrusted with $268 million to upgrade facilities, and now they want another $748 million (saddling us with another 25-30 years of debt!)…to do the same thing all over again.
Are school buildings constructed so poorly that they need repairs every 6 years?
They promised in 2010 to rebuild the vocational buildings, but failed to do so.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Lets reject these bait and switch tactics by voting “NO,” on Measure X.
Like us, you can be for schools, for students, for teachers, but against Measure X.

Precious images of her mother as a young woman on the streets of Europe sparked Anne Zahalka’s fascination with street photography.
The work of Anne Zahalka, one of Australia’s most highly regarded photo-media artists, often explores and deconstructs familiar images to tell alternative narratives. Now she brings her creative vision to Sydney Living Museums’ new exhibition Street Photography.
What was the inspiration for this exhibition?
Years ago I assembled a photo album as a gift to my mother, setting out her life story from the earliest baby photo in Vienna in 1921. One of the images, sadly, is the last photograph recording her with her own mother, whom she tragically lost in the Holocaust. Among these photographs was a later portrait of my mother with a friend on the streets of Prague in 1947, taken by a ‘street photographer’. It represents an ordinary moment, filled with a sense of freedom after having survived the war, but this freedom was very short-lived. A year later she would flee the communist takeover of Czechoslovakia with her small family. They became displaced persons and migrated to Australia as refugees in 1950.
In my mother’s album were other images by ‘street photographers’, taken in many cities in Europe. These photographs are among the millions taken by street photographers all around the world, including Sydney. This popular form of candid street portrait provides an extraordinary record of the city’s people, each with their own unique history. I wanted to bring this dispersed archive out to the public, to consider how Sydney and its people looked and to honour my parents and the city they migrated to.
Why are these photographs so significant?
These candid portraits offer a vital record of daily life mapped against the urban space of our city. They embody its citizens’ movements and social behaviour through their gait, their clothing and the accoutrements they carry. While the images themselves are not ‘artful’, they document the appearance and mannerisms of the people collectively. They illustrate an exchange (in most instances) between the photographer and the photographed, strangers to each other yet joined in this captured moment.
Within these portraits lie the simple stories of what the people were doing in town that day – meeting with friends, shopping and walking to work – but behind these are complex social histories that we can only partially glean. The accounts by those still living embellish these narratives, providing insight into the times and greater scope for interpreting the lived city.
How did the original images inform the works you created for this exhibition, capturing people in the places where they or their parents or grandparents were once photographed?
Photographs record lost moments, lost objects, lost people. They are inherently nostalgic, offering a tangible trace of what was and that which remains. Revisiting these historical images through the descendants provides a way of reframing the past with a contemporary lens. These images prompt a deeper reflection on our forebears, the differences that separate us and the similarities that bind us. While we may stand in the place where our ancestors stood, witnessing the city’s ever-changing nature, these portraits are a way of keeping their memory alive and indelibly etched in the city’s psyche.

"There is always hope, my friend, though it often comes in forms not looked for. The key is knowing how to see it and seizing that opportunity."
―Qui-Gon Jinn, to Yoda[src]
Qui-Gon Jinn, a Force-sensitive human male, was a venerable if maverick Jedi Master who lived during the last years of the Republic Era. He was a wise and well-respected member of the Jedi Order, and was offered a seat on the Jedi Council, but chose to reject in order to follow his own path. Adhering to a philosophy centered around the Living Force, Jinn strove to follow the will of the Force even when his actions conflicted with the wishes of the High Council. After encountering Anakin Skywalker, Jinn brought him to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, convinced he had found the Chosen One. His dying wish was for Skywalker to become a Jedi and ultimately restore balance to the Force.
Born on the Core World Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic in around 80 BBY, Jinn eventually learned the ways of the Force as the Padawan of Jedi Master Dooku before ultimately attaining the rank of Jedi Knight. He would go on to take an apprentice of his own, Obi-Wan Kenobi, who adhered to the principles of the Jedi Code more than his own master. When the Trade Federation initiated a blockade of the Mid Rim planet Naboo in 32 BBY, Jinn and Kenobi were dispatched to resolve the crisis at the request of Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum. Influenced by the mysterious Sith Lord Darth Sidious, the Federation launched a full-scale invasion of Naboo, forcing the Jedi to rescue Queen Padmé Amidala after the fall of Theed. During their journey to the galactic capital, the group was forced to land on the Outer Rim planet Tatooine where Jinn encountered a young slave named Anakin Skywalker. Using a scientific method to gauge the boy's potential, he learned that Skywalker had more midi-chlorians in his blood than any Force-sensitive in galactic history, including Grand Master Yoda. The revelation that he was the result of a miracle birth—a child born of a mother but had no father—confirmed Jinn's suspicion that Skywalker was in fact the Chosen One destined to restore balance to the Force. Before departing the desert world with Skywalker, Jinn was confronted by Sidious' Sith apprentice Darth Maul and although their duel was brief, it convinced Jinn that the Sith had returned after a millennium of silence.
At the Temple, Jinn was adamant that Skywalker was the Chosen One and should, therefore, be inducted into the Jedi Order. Having inspected Skywalker for themselves, however, the High Council deemed him too old, emotional, and dangerously full of fear and anger. Jinn saw their decision as a temporary setback but was forced to set aside his plans for Skywalker in order to resolve the situation on Queen Amidala's homeworld. During the Battle of Naboo, Jinn and Kenobi confronted Darth Maul together. While they initially managed to fend off the Sith Lord's attacks, master and apprentice were eventually separated during the lightsaber duel, resulting in Jinn sustaining a mortal injury. Rushing to his master's aid, Kenobi fought and ultimately defeated the Dathomirian Sith but was unable to save Jinn. With his last breath, Jinn made Kenobi promise that he would take Skywalker as his apprentice. Having secured Kenobi's word, Jinn became one with the Force, dying with the certainty that he had found the prophesied Chosen One.
Early life Edit
"Qui-Gon Jinn would never join you."
"Don't be so sure, my young Jedi. You forget that he was once my apprentice, just as you were once his."
―Obi-Wan Kenobi and Count Dooku[src]
Count Dooku, Jinn's former master.
Qui-Gon Jinn was a male human born on the galactic capital of Coruscant[1] circa 80 BBY.[2] Identified as a Force-sensitive, he was taken for training by the Jedi Order and was assigned to the Heliost Clan where he learnt lightsaber combat from Jedi Master Tera Sinube.[6] Jinn was later assigned as a Padawan to Jedi Master Dooku, from whom he learned the ways of the Force.[8][1] Jinn, Rael Averross, and his master Dooku were involved in a battle on the world Shurrupak.[7]
Tracking Shenda Mol Edit
Jinn and his Jedi Master Dooku became part of a Numidian Prime strike team. They were assembled to track and find the notorious Falleen bounty hunter Shenda Mol. They eventually tracked her at her hideout on the planet Numidian Prime. While searching for her hideout, Jinn was captured by Mol. Right before Mol could kill Jinn, Dooku struck her down with Force lightning in an effort to save his apprentice, causing Jinn a degree of concern.[7]
Jinn later confided what Dooku did to Rael Averross, though at the time, Averross expressed that he was not all too concerned regarding his former master's conduct.[7]
Becoming a Jedi Master Edit
Jinn went on to become a Jedi Master in his own right, one who developed an independent attitude towards the Jedi Order. He was seen as a maverick Jedi, one who would disobey the Jedi Code if he felt it was the right decision. Jinn eventually took on a Padawan of his own, Obi-Wan Kenobi, who believed that Jinn could have been a member of the Jedi High Council if he followed the Code,[3] though as Kenobi knew, Jinn had rejected an offer to join.[7] On one occasion, Jinn and Kenobi were sent on an extended mission to the planet Mandalore, where a civil war had been raging between various Mandalorian factions. Jinn and his Padawan were assigned to protect Duchess Satine Kryze of the pacifistic New Mandalorians faction, who had become a target for insurgents.[10]
Jinn and Kenobi spent a year on Mandalore, constantly on the run from bounty hunters targeting Kryze. During the mission, Kenobi developed romantic feelings for the Jedi's charge. Eventually, the civil war came to an end, with the New Mandalorians coming to power and Kryze becoming the ruler of Mandalore.[10] Jinn had at least some contact with his old Master after taking on Kenobi, and spoke highly of his Padawan to Dooku.[8] At one point, Jinn and Kenobi traveled to the planet Lah'mu to visit a fortress.[7]
Mission to Pijal Edit
"I've never been to Pijal."
―Qui-Gon Jinn[src]
A political dispute erupted on the Inner Rim planet Pijal circa 40 BBY. Jinn's old friend Rael Averross asked assistance of Jinn and his Padawan Kenobi to bring an end to the dispute. It was also at this time that the Jedi High Council extended to Jinn an invitation to join their ranks (with Master Poli Dapatian stepping down by that month's end), though following the mission to Pijal, Jinn decided to turn down their offer.[7]
Discovering the secrets of life after death Edit
Sometime during his life, Jinn began discovering the secrets to manifesting his consciousness after death.[11] He traveled to a planet strong with the Force, a world that legend said was the birthplace of life and the origin of midi-chlorians. There, he learned from five Force Priestesses who had retained their own consciousness after death.[12] He learned that, when a living thing died, its life passed through the Living Force and into the Cosmic Force to become one with the Force. As the Living Force and Cosmic Force existed in tandem, it became possible to retain one's consciousness and physically manifest themselves after death. Jinn was considered worthy of the knowledge of eternal life, and secretly began his training to fully unlock its mysteries.[11] He also learned from a Shaman of the Whills that achieving eternal consciousness required absolute selflessness.[4]
Rescuing Th'er Edit
"Obi-Wan! Ready the ship! The Priestess of Wood and I are heading your way."
―Qui-Gon Jinn to Obi-Wan Kenobi[src]
Qui-Gon during the rescue of Th'er.
Jinn and Kenobi were sent to Bri'n to protect the Priestess Th'er of Wood from the Metal Clan. When the negotiations were cut short, Jinn took the Priestess to meet up with Kenobi aboard their shuttle. Despite Th'er's protests, Jinn took her to Coruscant in order to protect her.[13]
Guided by the Force Edit
"Yes. Charted long ago, but not considered important enough to have a designation. No evidence of technology but an abundance of life."
Jinn was guided to a world by the Force after the rescue of Th'er, and felt the presence of the dark side. When Jinn entered a dark side monument, he had a Force vision, but was able to break free from it once the light side found its way to him. He left the world, having concluded that violence could lead the Jedi to become what they claimed to fight against.[13]
Operating in the vicinity of Botor Edit
Qui Gon Jinn and Yoda discuss a disturbance in the force.
At some point prior to 32 BBY, Jinn and Kenobi were operating in the vicinity of a planet that served as a base of the Flesh Mongers pirate group, flying a pair of Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptors. The two received a message from the surface of the planet from Jedi Master Yoda, who was asking for assistance. Landing on the planet, Jinn and Kenobi discovered that Yoda had taken out the entire pirate gang in order to rescue a young Force-sensitive child, known as Lo, as the pirate had planned to sell him due to his abilities in the Force.[14]
Jinn and Kenobi were asked by Yoda to escort the infant to the Jedi Temple, with Yoda assuring Lo that he was in safe hands with Jinn. Jinn expressed that he was happy to help out as they had been so close. While the two conversed, Kenobi took particular interest in the fact that Yoda had taken out an entire room of pirates, and was totally in awe. Jinn then proceeded to ask Yoda if everything was all right, to which the revered master replied that he could sense a calling disturbance in the Force that he felt he must follow. Jinn noted that he could not feel the presence himself but offered to join him on his quest if he so wanted. As Yoda climbed into his starship, he responded that he felt it was simply a calling for him alone and embarked on a mission to a planet in the Vagadarr system, where he became involved in a tribal war between the planet's native inhabitants.[14]
Helping Mace Windu Edit

Sometime later, Jedi Master Mace Windu was sent to the planet Oosalon to search for several Padawans who had been kidnapped by the warlord Guattako. Eventually Windu was able to defeat all of Guattako's army and Guattako was killed by a young Jedi. Shortly after Jinn, Plo Koon, and Depa Billaba arrived to help.[15]
War on Naboo Edit
Failed negotiations Edit
"The situation here is not what it seems. There is something else behind all this, Your Highness. There is no logic in the Federation's move here. My feelings tell me they will destroy you."
―Qui-Gon Jinn, to Queen Amidala —
Listen (file info)[src]
Ten years prior to the outbreak of the Clone Wars, the Trade Federation blockaded Naboo and planned to invade it in retaliation for the Galactic Republic's taxation of trade routes in outlying star systems. Unknown to the Republic, the Federation was controlled by the Sith Lord Darth Sidious—secretly Naboo's Senator Palpatine—who engineered the conflict so he could be elected Supreme Chancellor. Then-Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum dispatched Jinn and Kenobi to Naboo, tasking them with resolving the situation through diplomatic means.[3]
Jinn and Kenobi fight to escape Federation forces on the command ship.
Upon arriving at the Trade Federation command ship, Jinn and Kenobi were escorted into a conference room, where they were told that Viceroy Nute Gunray would greet them. As the Jedi were waiting, the Federation leaders contacted Darth Sidious, informing him that the Chancellor's ambassadors were Jedi Knights. Sidious ordered their execution, while Jinn could sense the fear that the Neimoidians felt. This let Jinn know that this was not a normal trade dispute. These suspicions were confirmed when the Federation flooded the conference room with poison gas in an attempt to kill the Jedi, but the two were able to hold their breath long enough for the Federation to open the doors and inadvertently give the Jedi a chance to escape. They fought off the battle droids waiting outside the door and fled through the corridors, where they made their way into the ventilation system.[3]
Moving through the ventilation shafts, the Jedi made their way to the hangar, where they saw the Federation Army preparing to mount an invasion of the planet. The Jedi stowed away aboard separate ships, which made their way to the planet's surface, and planned to warn the Naboo that the invasion was coming. Once on the surface, Jinn ventured through a forest to rendezvous with Kenobi. It was there that the Jedi master encountered a Gungan named Jar Jar Binks, who latched onto him in the chaos of the Federation invasion. This nearly got them both killed, as they fell to the ground just in time to avoid being run over by a Federation troop carrier. Binks swore a life debt to Jinn for saving him, as Jinn tried to get rid of the Gungan. He finally rendezvoused with Kenobi and planned to find shelter, which Binks offered to give them in the Gungan city beneath the ocean. The Gungan momentarily changed his mind, revealing that he had been exiled and would be punished for returning, but Jinn and Kenobi convinced him to take them to the city to avoid the approaching Federation forces.[3]
Binks led the two Jedi into the Gungan city, where they were immediately apprehended and brought before the Gungan leaders. Jinn attempted to persuade Boss Nass, the Gungan leader, that the Federation posed a threat to them just as much as they threatened Naboo, but Gungan prejudices against the Naboo were too strong for the Boss to care what happened on the surface. The Jedi Master used the Force to telepathically persuade Nass to give them a bongo aquatic transport that the Jedi could use to reach Theed, the capital of Naboo. Nass was also persuaded to allow Binks to travel with them, as Jinn, claiming the custom of the life debt, believed the Gungan could be a guide to make it through the planet core and to the capital.[3]
After traveling through the core and evading multiple large sea creatures, they arrived in Theed and rescued Queen Padmé Amidala, who had been taken into Federation custody. Together, along with a number of the queen's guards and handmaidens, they made their way to a hangar to take the queen's starship off of Naboo. They were able to board the ship after fighting through a number of battle droids, and took the vessel into orbit where they encountered the Federation blockade. They managed to escape the blockade, but the ship was damaged and needed to be set down for repairs. Jinn suggested that they land on Tatooine, a desert planet where the Hutts ruled and the Federation had no presence. Although the queen's lead guard, Panaka, objected because of the danger posed by the Hutts, the decision was made to seek refuge on Tatooine.[3]
Discovery of the Chosen One Edit
"Finding him was the will of the Force. I have no doubt of that."
―Qui-Gon Jinn to the Jedi High Council —
Jinn chides Binks during a meal with Skywalker and his mother.
The ship landed on Tatooine, and the crew determined that they were in need of a new hyperdrive generator in order to make it to their final destination of Coruscant, the capital of the Republic. Jinn decided to venture out into the local settlement to find a store that would sell a generator, and brought Amidala—masquerading as a royal handmaiden—and Binks along with him. They arrived at a shop owned by a Toydarian junk dealer, Watto, who had the parts they needed but would not accept Republic credits for payment. Jinn attempted to telepathically persuade him that credits would be acceptable, but the Toydarian was immune to Jedi mind tricks. Jinn left empty-handed, but not before meeting Anakin Skywalker, a young boy who was a slave of Watto's.[3]
Skywalker followed Jinn and the others, where he warned them that a sandstorm was coming and that they would need to find shelter. The boy knew the group would not make it back to their ship in time and brought them back to his home, where he introduced them to his mother, Shmi, who was also one of Watto's slaves. They all shared a dinner together, where Skywalker deduced that Jinn was a Jedi, having seen his lightsaber. Jinn revealed that he and the others were on an important mission for the Republic and stranded on Tatooine until they could repair their ship. Knowing that it could help them escape, Skywalker volunteered to help by racing in the Boonta Eve Classic podrace and give them the profits to repair their ship if he won. Jinn accepted the offer, though Amidala was unconvinced that trusting their fate to someone they barely knew was the right course.[3]
The next day, Jinn spoke to Watto about entering Skywalker in the race with a pod that Skywalker had built in secret, and Jinn convinced Watto that it was the Jedi's pod. The two agreed that Watto would pay Skywalker's entry fee and collect all of the winnings from a potential victory, except for whatever money Jinn needed to repair his ship. If Skywalker lost, Watto would keep the queen's ship. Watto agreed to the condition, and Skywalker set out to begin getting his pod race-ready.[3]
It was in watching Skywalker work on his pod that Jinn told Shmi he could sense the potential of a Jedi in the boy. Jinn wondered who Skywalker's father was, and was intrigued to hear Shmi had conceived her son without a father. Later that night, Jinn tested the boy's midi-chlorian count and sent the sample to Kenobi on the queen's ship, who told his master that Skywalker's midi-chlorian count was over 20,000—higher than any known Jedi. Through the supposed virgin birth and the midi-chlorian count, Jinn came to believe that Skywalker was the Chosen One of Jedi prophecy, a being who would bring balance to the Force.[3]
With the belief that Skywalker was the Chosen One, Jinn knew that Skywalker should be brought to the Jedi temple on Coruscant so he could be trained as a Jedi. Jinn approached Watto with a new wager: if the boy was to win, Watto would free Skywalker and his mother. Watto scoffed at the idea of freeing two slaves, but he did agree to release one if Skywalker won. However, he left it up to chance, and threw a small multi-colored cube; if it landed on blue, Skywalker would be the slave in question. Jinn used the Force to help it land on blue, and Watto agreed that Skywalker would be freed if he won the race—but, according to Watto, the Dug racer Sebulba was sure to win.[3]
Jinn fights Darth Maul on Tatooine, the first known encounter between Jedi and Sith for a thousand years.
The race began later that day and Skywalker emerged victorious. Watto, who lost everything betting on Sebulba, freed the boy as per their agreement. Jinn took what profits he needed to repair the ship and gave the rest to Skywalker and his mother, and told them that Skywalker had been freed and could go with him to Coruscant to become a Jedi. Skywalker was unsure about leaving his mother, but he had always dreamed of becoming a Jedi and decided to leave. After Skywalker shared a tearful goodbye with his mother, Jinn and the boy set off for the queen's ship to make their way to Coruscant.[3]
Just before arriving at the ship, Jinn was attacked by Darth Maul, a Sith Lord and the apprentice of Darth Sidious. The two fought across the desert floor while Skywalker rushed back to the ship to find help, and the ship made its way to Jinn's location where he was able to board it and flee Tatooine, leaving Darth Maul behind. Once on board, he introduced Skywalker to Kenobi.[3]
With its hyperdrive repaired, the ship finally arrived on Coruscant, where the crew was greeted by Chancellor Valorum and Senator Palpatine. After arriving, Jinn went before the Jedi Council and told the Jedi Masters that he believed Darth Maul was a Sith Lord. The Council was dubious of the claim, as the Order believed they had destroyed the Sith a millennium earlier, but they committed themselves to learning Darth Maul's identity. Jinn also revealed that he had discovered Skywalker on Tatooine and believed him to be the Chosen One, asking that the boy be trained as a Jedi. At Jinn's request, the Council agreed to test Skywalker to determine if he was eligible for training. Kenobi was skeptical that Skywalker would pass the test given his age, as Jedi began their training at infancy, and worried that Jinn would defy whatever decision the Council made. Despite his Padawan's concerns, Jinn was determined to see Skywalker become a Jedi Knight.[3]
The Council tested Skywalker and agreed with Jinn that he was exceptionally powerful with the Force, but declined to accept him for training. They believed that despite his power, he was too old to begin training, and dangerously full of fear and anger.[5] Nonetheless, Jinn insisted that Skywalker be trained, saying he would take the boy as his Padawan learner. Kenobi, meanwhile, could take his Jedi Trials and become a Jedi Knight, as the Jedi Code forbade a Jedi from having two Padawans. The Council tabled the discussion for another time and ordered that Jinn and Kenobi return to Naboo, where Queen Amidala was preparing to return to in order to deal with the invasion without the Senate's help. Jinn took Skywalker with him and began giving him some initial lessons about the Force.[3]
Final battle and death Edit
"Obi-Wan. Promise…Promise me you will train the boy."
"Yes, Master."
"He…is the Chosen One. He…will bring balance. Train him…"
―Jinn's dying request to Kenobi —
Upon arrival on Naboo, the Jedi traveled with Amidala to find the Gungans, who were hiding in a sacred area of the forests. There, the Naboo and Gungans formed an alliance to fight the Federation, while the queen's handmaiden Padmé revealed herself to be the true Amidala, having masqueraded as a servant with one of the handmaidens portraying the queen as a safety precaution.[3] Jinn, for his part, had not been fooled by the Queen's disguise since their first meeting, but had gone along with the charade for reasons of his own, one of which presumably included safeguarding the queen's life.[16] Together with the Jedi and the Gungans, Amidala put together a plan of attack, where the Gungans would fight the Federation army away from Theed as a diversion, allowing Amidala, her forces, and the Jedi to get into the city with relatively little opposition. Jinn made it clear, however, that while he would protect the queen, he could not a fight a war for her.[3]
Darth Maul stabs Jinn through the torso, fatally wounding him.
As the Gungan army led the bulk of the Federation forces away from the city, Jinn snuck into Theed with the others and fought their way to the palace. Once in the hangar, they were again confronted by Darth Maul, who the two Jedi prepared to fight as the Naboo fought their way to the throne room to capture Viceroy Gunray. Jinn and Kenobi fought Maul in the hangar, with the Sith Lord dominating the duel, though Maul did give ground in order to lead the Jedi out of the hangar and throughout a palace generator complex. Maul separated the two Jedi by knocking Kenobi down several levels and eventually trapping him behind shielding, leaving Jinn to fight the Sith Lord in single combat without his apprentice. As they made their way through the area, the two combatants were evenly matched; eventually, however, Maul countered Jinn with a physical strike from his lightsaber hilt and seizing the opportunity while Jinn was off-balance, fatally stabbing the Jedi Master through the torso as his Padawan watched in horror from behind the shielding.[3]
When Kenobi was finally able to reach Maul, he and the Sith Lord engaged in a furious battle, with Kenobi grieving for his master and friend. Maul was able to disarm and knock Kenobi partly down a reactor shaft, before Kenobi used the Force to summon his master's lightsaber, jump out of the pit and slice the blade through Maul's torso in one swift movement; cutting him in half and sending him tumbling down the shaft. The Padawan ran to his dying master, cradling him in his arms, and Jinn made his apprentice promise that he would train with Skywalker as a Jedi. With his dying breath, Jinn once again said that Skywalker was the Chosen One and would bring balance to the Force.[3]
In the aftermath of the battle, in which the Naboo successfully captured the Viceroy and ended the Federation occupation, Kenobi was granted the rank of Jedi Knight and insisted on taking Skywalker as his apprentice. Although Yoda disagreed, the Council approved Kenobi's request, fulfilling Jinn's dying wish: Skywalker would be trained as a Jedi. Later, Jinn was given a Jedi funeral on Naboo, where his body was burned on a funeral pyre. The funeral was attended by a number of delegates including Queen Amidala, the Jedi Council, and Chancellor Palpatine. It was at the funeral that Kenobi told Skywalker that the Council would allow him to be trained, and that Kenobi would be his master. Together, the two mourned the death of their fallen friend, as Kenobi vowed that Skywalker would become a Jedi.[3] Kenobi upheld his vow to Jinn dutifully over the years. At one point, when Skywalker was considering leaving the Jedi Order at the age of twelve, Kenobi was intent on following suit, but he was still going to complete the boy's training even outside the Order. Skywalker, however, chose to remain a Jedi in the aftermath of a mission to the planet Carnelion IV.[17]
Returning as a spirit Edit
"It is I, Qui-Gon Jinn."
"That cannot be. Dead, you are."
"No. I am part of the Living Force, Yoda."
―Jinn communes to Yoda during the Clone Wars[src]
Though his training had been incomplete, Jinn utilized what he learned from the Force Priestesses to become one with the Force and retain his identity after his death. He had not fully learned the mystery, however, so he could not physically manifest himself, only speak as a disembodied voice.[11] The first known time that Jinn communicated through the Force was approximately ten years after the events on Naboo. Skywalker had returned to Tatooine to find his mother, about whom he had been having recurring nightmares, and discovered she had been kidnapped by Tusken Raiders. He found her in a Tusken camp, but she died only moments later. In his anger, Skywalker slaughtered all the Tuskens in the camp. Jinn, sensing the great pain and distress, called out to Skywalker through the Force, which Yoda could hear—but not comprehend—through his own meditations. However, Jinn's pleas were for naught, as Skywalker didn't heed his words in his uncontrolled rage.[8]
In the meantime, Kenobi was captured on the planet Geonosis by Dooku, who had left the Jedi Order and had become the leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. While interrogating Kenobi, Dooku—who was also secretly a Sith Lord—expressed his belief that Jinn would have joined his cause if he had been alive. Shortly thereafter, a conflict known as the Clone Wars began between the Galactic Republic and Dooku's Confederacy.[8] During that conflict, Skywalker was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight and was assigned a Padawan of his own, the Togruta Ahsoka Tano, to whom he recited Jinn's teachings on at least one occasion.[18]
Jinn's spirit appears before Kenobi on Mortis.
Despite his incomplete training, Jinn was able to physically manifest on one known occasion. Kenobi, Skywalker, and Tano, had been lured to the planet Mortis by three beings known as the Father, Son, and Daughter. Like Jinn, these beings believed that Skywalker was the Chosen One. Jinn first appeared to Kenobi to warn him that the beings sought Skywalker and his potential as the Chosen One, to use it for their own means. When Kenobi questioned how Jinn could appear, the late Jedi Master told him that the planet acted as an amplifier, and that it was a conduit through which the Force flowed. The two spoke about Skywalker and his power, with Kenobi having the opportunity to tell Jinn that the late Jedi Master's predictions about Skywalker were true: he was stronger than any other Jedi, yet still could not find balance. Jinn warned that, if Skywalker was the Chosen One, then the boy would discover it on Mortis, and if not then the planet would prove to be very dangerous for someone so powerful.[19] Jinn later appeared to Skywalker himself, telling Skywalker that he still believed the boy would bring balance to the Force after facing his demons.[20]
After the three Jedi escaped Mortis, where the Father professed his belief that Skywalker was the Chosen One,[20] Kenobi came to believe, and told the Jedi Council, that the appearance of Jinn was simply an illusion, one manifested from their memories by the beings on Mortis. Skywalker, however, was not as confident, despite Jedi teachings saying that it was impossible for a being to retain their identity after death. The report about Mortis did not change these Jedi beliefs or teachings.[11] The Clone Wars also saw the return of Jinn's murderer, Darth Maul. Believed to have been killed by Kenobi on Naboo, Maul had in fact survived, replacing his lower body with a cybernetic apparatus.[21] Maul sought revenge on Kenobi for maiming him, and the two fought on several occasions.[22][23][24] Nevertheless, Maul would go on to survive the Clone Wars.[25]
It was not until the waning days of the Clone Wars that Yoda learned Jinn had retained his consciousness after death. Knowing Yoda was destined to be a major player in bringing balance to the Force, and that it was Yoda's destiny to complete the training Jinn himself did not, the late Jedi Master spoke to Yoda through the Force and guided him to Dagobah, the first leg on Yoda's trials to determine whether he was ready to learn the secrets. Jinn told Yoda about his training, and how the Living Force fed into the Cosmic Force, allowing him to return after death. Yoda was, at first, only interested in the truth about the Clone Wars, asking if he knew the identity of Darth Sidious, but Jinn could only guide Yoda through his trials. Yoda was guided by the Living Force in the form of a glowing swarm of fireflies. Later they guided Yoda to the planet of the Force Priestesses, where Yoda could continue his trial.[11]
Yoda completed the trials and was deemed worthy of learning the secret of eternal consciousness,[9] as Yoda would one day train the person who would help Skywalker bring balance to the Force.[26] The Force Priestesses instructed that Jinn would guide Yoda's training.[9] After the end of the Clone Wars and the fall of the Jedi Order, Yoda chose to go into exile on Dagobah, but not before telling Kenobi that Jinn had returned from the netherworld of the Force and could guide his former Padawan in learning the secret.[27]
Legacy Edit
"Obi Wan, let go."
―Qui-Gon Jinn briefly communes with Obi Wan Kenobi during meditation[src]
Skywalker, Kenobi, and Yoda all learned the secret of eternal consciousness.
The end of the Clone Wars also saw the fall of Anakin Skywalker, who was seduced to the dark side of the Force by Darth Sidious and had become the Sith Lord Darth Vader.[27] The fall confirmed the Council's fears about Skywalker's training,[3] but he was still the Chosen One.[28] During Obi-Wan Kenobi's self-imposed exile on Tatooine, he frequently dwelled upon his failure to train Skywalker, and one such time during meditation he felt himself phase out of reality for a few moments. During this time he felt Jinn commune through the Force with him, with his old Jedi Master telling him to let go.[29] In the years after the Clone Wars, Kenobi and Yoda both completed their training to retain their consciousness after death.[30]
During his time on Tatooine, Kenobi continued to speak with Jinn, telling him about the hardships of living in exile and Skywalker's possible destiny of the Chosen One.[31][32] During an encounter with the Wookiee bounty hunter Black Krrsantan, Kenobi called upon his Master to give him strength to defeat the foe.[33] Kenobi finally killed a resurgent Darth Maul in a duel on Tatooine in 2 BBY, using Jinn's Ataru stance to defend himself against Maul.[34] In 1 BBY, Jinn's voice was heard by Padawan Ezra Bridger during his mission to a place that existed between time and space.[35] One year later, Kenobi sacrificed himself to save Luke Skywalker, Anakin's son, and was struck down by Darth Vader.[36] Though worried for not completing Luke's training, Kenobi heard Jinn's voice telling him to lay down his life so that Luke can escape.[37] After his death, Kenobi first appeared as a disembodied voice, telling Luke to flee the Death Star with his friends, and then later to guide Luke through the Battle of Yavin.[36]
In the aftermath of the Battle of Yavin, Vader was shot down over the planet Vrogas Vas. During a confrontation with Rebel Alliance forces on the planet, Vader found an ancient Jedi Temple, where he heard disembodied voices of people from his past, including Jinn.[38] A few years later, Kenobi appeared as a physical spirit to tell Luke to train with Yoda on Dagobah. He continued to manifest himself to help guide Luke through his training.[30]
It was on Dagobah that Yoda fulfilled the destiny first spoken of by the Force Priestesses,[26] training Luke to become a Jedi Knight.[30] Yoda died shortly thereafter and passed on into the Force, where he retained his identity. Through the training Yoda gave Luke, the boy confronted and redeemed his father from the dark side, and Anakin killed Darth Sidious. Through this act, and through his own death, Anakin helped defeat the Galactic Empire, brought balance to the Force, and was able to return as a spirit as well. By killing Sidious and sacrificing himself, Jinn's strongly-held belief was finally proven true: Anakin Skywalker was the Chosen One.[28]
Personality and traits Edit
"Do not defy the Council, Master, not again."
"I shall do what I must, Obi-Wan."
―Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn —
Jinn's spirit explains to Yoda how the connection between the Living Force and Cosmic Force helped him retain his identity after death.
Qui-Gon Jinn was a human male who stood 1.93 meters tall[4] and had light skin, blue eyes, and long, brown hair. Though he had risen to the rank of Jedi Master, Jinn did not always agree with the structures and rules of the Jedi Order. He was known to disobey the Jedi Code if he felt he needed to, and was willing to rebuff the Jedi Council when they declined to train Skywalker.[3] After Jinn's old master, Dooku, fell to the dark side and became the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus, Dooku told Kenobi that he wished Jinn were still alive so the late Jedi Master could have helped him with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Kenobi rejected the idea that Jinn would have joined Dooku, but Dooku told Kenobi that Jinn knew about the corruption in the Galactic Senate and might have joined the Separatist cause—especially if he had learned that the Republic was under the control of Darth Sidious, though Dooku did not tell Kenobi that the Separatists were also under Sith control.[3]
While other Jedi focused on meditation to try to understand the future, Jinn lived in the moment.[4] He believed that one's focus on the future should not compromise the concentration on the present, and believed in trusting one's instincts.[3] Even after his death and return as a spirit, Jinn was confronted with Jedi thinking only of the future[source?]; he guided Yoda through Dagobah to learn the secret of eternal consciousness, but Yoda was interested in knowing if Jinn, existing outside of normal time, could tell him the true identity of Darth Sidious. Although Jinn hinted that he knew the truth, he explained he could only guide Yoda towards greater knowledge, not provide him with the answers.[11] Jinn's belief that Anakin Skywalker was the Chosen One looked both at the future and in the moment. Though he acknowledged that Skywalker's future contained an uncertain destiny, he did not dwell on the danger that the Council saw in Skywalker's potential.[3]
Qui-Gon Jinn had an empathetic nature, and had a tendency to take unfortunate life forms under his protection. It was this tendency, as well his defiance towards the Jedi Council, that often frustrated and baffled his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi. When Jinn saved the Gungan exile Jar Jar Binks, and Binks swore a life-debt to him, his compassionate nature was such that Jinn took the hapless Gungan under his wing, much to Kenobi's dismay. This empathy toward all life forms, including the most pitiful and unfortunate, was Jinn's greatest strength.[1]
Jinn's training to retain his identity after death led him to new philosophies, ones unknown to the Jedi Order of the time.[source?] Jinn learned that there were two sides to the Force, a Living Force channeled by the energies of all living beings, and the Cosmic Force into which it fed. It was this symbiotic relationship that allowed the Force to bind the galaxy together, and speak to living beings through the midi-chlorians.[11]
Powers and abilities Edit
"Show yourself, can you?"
"I cannot. My training was incomplete. All energy from the Living Force, from all things that have ever lived, feeds into the Cosmic Force, binding everything and communicating to us through the midi-chlorians. Because of this, I can speak to you now."
―Yoda communes with Jinn on Dagobah about eternal consciousness[src]
Like other Jedi, Qui-Gon Jinn was sensitive to and had an affinity for the Force. He utilized telekinesis and mind tricks on more than one occasion, using them to help further his goals during the Trade Federation's occupation of Naboo and while attempting to free Skywalker from slavery. Jinn was skilled with a lightsaber, able to use his blade to easily defeat battle droids on Naboo and hold his own in his first duel with Darth Maul. He was not, however, skilled enough to survive his second encounter with Darth Maul, as the Sith Lord out-fought the Jedi Master and mortally wounded him after a prolonged fight.[3]
The ability to manifest consciousness after death was, for a time, a skill that other Jedi did not know. Jinn kept his training with the Force Priestesses a secret, and the Jedi Order continued to believe that death was permanent and identity could not be retained. It was not until towards the Clone Wars that Jinn revealed himself to Yoda, despite his training being incomplete at the time, and Jinn told the Jedi Master that that he too could learn to return from death through the Cosmic Force.[11] Jinn passed these teachings on to Yoda and Kenobi, who used it and the new philosophies they learned to help guide Luke Skywalker towards his destiny.[28]
"He's almost like a monk, an old-time warrior who is wise and quite philosophical, yet very skilled in martial arts. He has incredible confidence, as well as a magical quality that enables him to see into the future. He's not really a rebel, but he has his own code."
―Liam Neeson's thoughts on his character, Qui-Gon Jinn[src]
Qui-Gon Jinn was portrayed by Liam Neeson in Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. The actor reprised his role in three episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars—"Overlords," "Ghosts of Mortis," and "Voices"—and audio from his appearance in The Phantom Menace could briefly be heard in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. Neeson was also set to lend his voice to Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, and Neeson had hinted at his involvement in early 2005.[39] The scene, in which Yoda was set to commune with Jinn's disembodied voice, was cut from the film but was written for the screenplay. The scene appeared in the film's novelization.[40]
Compared to the final screenplay, early drafts of The Phantom Menace did not have Qui-Gon Jinn joining Obi-Wan Kenobi until much later in the film, leaving Kenobi as the sole Jedi participant through many of the film's early events, such as the failed negotiations aboard the Trade Federation flagship. Additionally, the final screenplay described Qui-Gon Jinn as being in his 60s, far older than actor Liam Neeson was at the time.[41]

THE FIVE STEPS IN THE SEARCH PROCESS PART 1 – FROM THE SEARCH COMMITTEE’S VIEW
clergy, deployment, Episcopal, OTM Portfolio, resume, search, transition ministry
One of the my core values is clarity. Hence, entering into search processes early in my career drove me nuts, as the process seemed opaque. I never knew what happened when or why. Nor could I understand why there were long lapses in communication from the search committee. Through personal experience and through coaching colleagues, a five step understanding of the search process emerged.
This five step model of a search process will be outlined in a series of blogs over the coming weeks. Before looking at the search process from the clergy’s point of view, let’s peek behind the curtain and see the process search committees usually follow. They also use a five step process, roughly parallel to what we need to do as clergy.
Understanding the process from a search committee’s perspective
Search committees are established by parish vestries to oversee a lengthy (12-18 month) process of identifying a new clergy leader. Sometimes the search tasks are divided between a search committee and a profile committee. This separate profile committee may be given the initial task of defining who the parish is and what kind of leadership they need. The search committee will then use the profile and job description to recruit and screen candidates. At the end of the process, the vestry may make the final choice among a limited number of final candidates. Search committees are chosen to represent major constituencies within a parish community. They usually work with a trained diocesan consultant, who assists them with some of the technical aspects of the search process.
Search committees are trying to answer two basic questions as they seek viable candidates to present to the vestry:
• Does the candidate have the requisite skills and experience to fill the job?
• Will the candidate fit well within our parish community? (Do we share a common purpose and common values? Will we enjoy living and working with this candidate?)
Search and profile committees oversee a five-step process:
1. Define the parish, the open position, and the qualities sought in candidates. This information is written in the parish profile, the OTM Community Ministry Portfolio, and auxiliary documents such as a parish survey or chamber of commerce information about the parish community.
2. Gather the names of potential candidates. Sources include: nominations from parishioners, nominations from the diocese, results of the OTM search, and direct responses from clergy to public listings (e.g., OTM Portfolio – Search Community Portfolios page, transitional ministry newsletters, and ads in church publications). Some dioceses require all applicants to first contact the diocesan transition ministry officer; others permit direct contact with a search committee.
3. Winnow the initial list of names to a manageable number that the search committee can meet. Information used in this winnowing process include: a résumé, OTM Portfolio, response to questionnaires, sample sermons, phone interviews and references. This winnowing process often occurs in two or three stages. For example, a committee may reduce an initial pool of candidates from eighty to forty just on the basis of just the résumé and OTM Portfolio. Then they may reduce the pool from forty to twenty on the basis of answers to a questionnaire and sample sermons. They could further reduce the pool from twenty to eight candidates on the basis of phone interviews and phone reference checks.
4. Meet the remaining candidates. Usually a few members of the search committee will visit the candidate in his or her current ministry location. These visits typically include an interview, interviews with references and attendance at Sunday worship. After this step a few more candidates may be winnowed out and the finalists are invited to the parish for an interview and tour of the community.
5. Decide on a final candidate and/or make a recommendation to the vestry ranking the final candidates.

premiumisation
Here's why categories that used to stack high & sell cheap are embracing premiumisation
LeEco launched its range of 55 & 65 inch TV's, seeking to deepen the connection its mobile phones had made with Indian consumers.Rahul Sachitanand | ET Bureau | Updated: September 21, 2016, 10:42 IST
In August this year, Chinese consumer electronics company LeEco launched its range of 55 and 65 inch televisions, seeking to deepen the connection its mobile phones had made with Indian consumers.
Rather than jump into the cluttered low-end market, the firm used some of what it had learned over the last 12 months. It leant on competitive pricing, technology and a host of value-adds to lure people to upgrade. Although it’s early days, company executives have been pleasantly surprised.
“Mobile phones and TVs are becoming a mainstay in people’s lives and they are willing to spend a little more to get better performing and looking devices,” says Atul Jain, COO – smart devices, LeEco. With mobile phones, premiumisation is incremental: from handsets priced at Rs5,000-Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000-Rs 20,000 as previously high-end features become more affordable.
LeEco is hardly the only company riding this wave. In sectors as diverse as consumer electronics, real estate, healthcare, consumer goods, accessories and apparel and even something as prosaic as sanitaryware, companies are chasing after consumers making more discerning choices.
“Growing disposable incomes allows companies to consider multiple layers of segmentation beyond the traditional ones of rich, middle class and poor,” says Arvind Singhal, chairman and managing director, Technopak, a retail consultancy. “People are increasingly looking for products that are slightly better (activated charcoal in toothpaste, minerals or dried fruits in breakfast cereal) and companies realise they’re willing to pay a premium for them.”
For 132-year old consumer goods company Dabur, this push has come in handy as it recasts and refreshes several brands. It is changing the positioning of Gulabari, from women in the 35-45 age group to one for their teenage daughters. “We wanted to make this the first cosmetic brand for a teenager,” says KK Chutani, executive director - consumer care, Dabur. “Premiumisation of your FMCG purchases is the best way to show you’ve moved up in life.”
Dabur has ridden this wave elsewhere too — from toothpowders to toothpastes and then value adding in that segment. Or moving Pudin Hara, its digestive, from liquid to capsule and now a recently launched antacid. Honey has moved from the bottle to a squeegee and honey-laced jams. “Premiumising a brand isn’t easy,” Chutani adds. “If a brand enjoys trust, then consumers buy into these changes.”
It may also not be for everyone. It’s hard to get typically tight-fisted Indian consumers to fork out more for a marginal improvement. In mobile phones, LeEco’s Jain reckons, the appeal of enhanced hardware is fading: “Consumers will look at cutting edge technology, competitive price and an ecosystem of value adds,” he says.
Experts such as Anand Halve, a partner at Chlorophyll, a branding consultancy, believes brands are being compelled to think hard about premiumisation. “Brands which offer only low-end products are realising that they will get squeezed out without premium offerings,” he says. “Yet, there are limits beyond which a brand can’t be extended.” For example, it may be harder to extend a truly mass brand (think Nirma), into a premium one.
The best way to deal with that situation is to start from scratch. Nearly three years ago, when India’s largest automaker, Maruti Suzuki decided to launch a premium sales and service offering (and vehicles to go with it), it went back to the drawing board. While the company earned its stripes selling millions of budget wheels and backing that up with a reliable service network, its Nexa offering was a break from the past.
Styled in stark two-tone colours and peopled by polished staff (who’d actually spent time at luxury hotels observing upscale hospitality), these outlets were designed to stretch Brand Maruti Suzuki in a fresh — and premium — direction.
“We have built a distinct brand identity and attracted a new consumer class to this business. Visitors here have an average income 80% higher than those who visit our existing channels,” says RS Kalsi, executive director - marketing and sales, Maruti Suzuki India.
New launches seem to suggest Maruti Suzuki has made the crossover; Baleno, its premium hatch, has seen its production rise 25% more than initially forecast and S-Cross, a crossover, is the leader in its space. “Consumers are shifting from solely focusing on value for money to styling, technology and futuristic design,” Kalsi adds.
There are 168 Nexa outlets and the company plans to expand this to 250 by the end of the fiscal. While Maruti Suzuki is looking to reinvent itself, other brands are looking to upend the market they operate in with premium offerings. “The only beverage products in the market that dominated indigenous drinks were concentrated mixers or (those made by) our trustworthy mothers/dadis,” says Neeraj Kakkar, cofounder & CEO, Hector Beverages, which runs the Paper Boat range.
We have managed to package authentic recipes in a contemporary and alive design,” he adds. Besides home-brewed beverages, analysts say Hector Beverages’ Paper Boat is also luring consumers away from drinks offered by older vendors.
“Consumers are always looking to discover and experiment with healthier and less processed options,” Kakkar contends. “They’re also looking for convenience. Natural packaged products that taste homemade, and something they can directly consume.” Over the last six years, Kakkar and his team have devised a range of options-- Aamras, Aam panna, Jaljeera—with more in the pipeline.
Some less obvious companies are also taking the same route. For example, Jaquar Group has looked to add fresh energy to the all-white market for bathroom fittings and sanitaryware. “We believe the bathroom is transforming itself from a functional space to a wellness space and consumers’ purchasing patterns are shifting in accordance with this,” says Sandeep Shukla, head- marketing, Jaquar Group.
Currently, Jaquar sells some 24 million products annually and is using a network of 22 Jaquar Orientation Centres (and 2100 showrooms being upscaled) to bring in high-end bathroom converts. It’s launched some new products too; Showertronics, for example, is a touchdriven shower which uses controls similar to high-end smart phones, while another offering from its Artize range gives users over six showering options. “Consumers are spending a lot more time, and therefore a lot more thought and money on their bathrooms,” Shukla contends.
If devising premium wares for products is hard, then services are an even tougher challenge. In healthcare, for instance, certain levels of minimum care need to be provided at hospitals and other locations. It is on top of this, that some chains such as Apollo are building premium service. At many hospitals nationwide, Apollo has set up separate lounges and counters to deal with premium patients.
“We are seeing more discerning customers across our ecosystem,” says Subbiah Vishwanathan, COO of Apollo Hospitals. “We want to provide these patients a premium level of care not dissimilar to a luxury hotel.” Apollo’s services begin from the time a patient arrives at the hospital, through to in-room services such as familiar newspapers and TV channels, the allotment of a relationship manager for the duration of stay and then handing over after being discharged. For a healthcare services provider, the goal in premiumising is different. “We want to move what is a very transactional service to a more personalised space,” he adds.
Finally premiumisation reflects a change in consumer mindsets about value from ‘cheapest’ to the ‘best I can get for my money’. Maybe the question that Maruti built one of its most famous campaigns on will shift from ‘Kitna deti hai?’ to ‘Kya features hain isme?’

Luckin Coffee testing self-service coffee machines

Chinese coffee startup Luckin is planning on a new project focused on self-service coffee machines, which is expected to be a central part of the company’s expansion strategy, Chinese media reported.
Branded as Luckin Coffee Express, the self-service machine is designed for public spaces like schools and office buildings. Users can locate the nearest coffee machine and place an order through the Luckin app. Drinks are ready 30 seconds after scanning the pick-up code.
The company will launch a pilot program to test the project soon, according to media reports.
Luckin declined to comment on the news when contacted by TechNode.
The Chinese brand of Luckin Coffee Express, “瑞即购,” was trademarked by a Beijing subsidiary of the coffee upstart in May, according to Trademark Office of China’s National Intellectual Property Administration.

Luckin’s aggressive expansion has positioned the coffee startup as a challenger to Starbucks in China. The company said in January that it plans to have 4,500 stores in China by the end of the year, up from around 2,370 as of March. That’s on par with Starbucks, which has around 3,800 in China and plans to add 600 more by the end of September.
Luckin recorded $79 million in losses in the first quarter of the year, according to its prospectus, and raised around $571.2 million in its May IPO. It is focusing on an asset-light strategy for its expansion, including pick-up stores with limited seating and typically located in areas with a high demand for coffee, such as office buildings. Such stores, usually have lower rent and fit-out costs, account for 91.3% of the company’s total stores. Shifting to the self-service coffee machine market is a move further down along the asset-light track.
Luckin’s move into the self-service segment of the coffee industry poses challenges to existing players including Wing Cafe, Xiaoka Coffee, and Yee Coffee.

HMD Global launches first Nokia feature phones, to hit India in Q1, 2017
HMD Global, which recently took over Nokia phone business, on Tuesday launched its first Nokia branded feature phones – Nokia 150 and Nokia 150 Dual SIM.Tina Gurnaney | ETTelecom | Updated: December 13, 2016, 19:16 IST
NEW DELHI: The first set of Nokia featurephones - Nokia 150 and Nokia 150 Dual SIM - from HMD Global's stable will be rolled out in India, besides other markets of Europe, West Asia and Africa in the first quarter of 2017. The phones could be priced at less than Rs 2,000.
Espoo, Finland-based HMD Global, which bought out Microsoft Corp’s featurephone business alongwith contract manufacturer Foxconn for $350 million this month, started with featurephones, or basic phones, on Tuesday, but will launch Nokia branded smartphones by June.
“HMD will bring a new generation of mobile phones to consumers through an existing feature phone business and new smartphone range,” the company said in a statement.
The two new models will beef up the existing Nokia feature phone portfolio, which comprises Nokia 105, Nokia 216 and Nokia 230 to further strengthen its portfolio.
"Nokia has always had an emotional appeal, so it won’t be difficult for them to return, more so with featurephones,” said Jaipal Singh, analyst at IDC India.
The demand for featurephones still continues in markets like India. But, at a time when Reliance Jio is coming out with 4G featurpehones, should Nokia only focus on 2G featurephones, is something they will have to find an answer to," Singh said.
The new phones costing about $26 (Rs 1,750) address a large global populace, specifically in markets like India and Africa, where featurephone users make up the bulk of the entire mobile phone user base, although the market is constantly shrinking.
In India, 65% of the country’s 1 billion plus mobile phone users are still using featurephones, as per Counterpoint Research, while in Africa, the featurephone penetration is as high as 70%, as per data from telecom operator Orange.
On the other hand, smartphone shipments in India grew 11% to 32.3 million units in the quarter to September, as per IDC,while overall mobile phone market (smartphone and feature phones) shipment closed at 72.3 million units in the quarter, up 18.1%.
HMD Global, which has a brand licensing agreement with Nokia for mobile phones and tablets, highlighted that the phones feature a ‘familiar’ user interface, which suggests that the phones might resemble their predecessors to a lot of extent.
The devices have a 1020 mAh battery that can last up to 22 hours with talk time, and 31 days at standby (single SIM). The phones also have 2.4-inch screens and are equipped with a VGA camera with LED flash.
The company will rely on Nokia’s massive and deep brand equity to sell devices in markets like India, where the product line up will be available on ecommerce platforms and in brick-and-mortar stores, including Nokia branded retail stores.
HMD Global CEO Arto Nummela had told ET earlier this month that India will play a critical role in Nokia's “next phase of journey” while the brand will compete fiercely in the global smartphone market, currently dominated by Samsung and Apple.

Cilla The Musical (New Wimbledon Theatre)
tags: Alan Howell, Alex Harford, Amy Bridges, Andrew Lancel, Beatles, Bill Caple, Bill Kenwright, Billie Hardy, Bob Tomson, Burt Bacharach, Carl Au, Carole Todd, Cilla Blacka, Cilla The Musical, Gary McCann, Jeff Pope, Joshua Gannon, Marc McBride, Michael Hawkings, New Wimbledon Theatre, Nick Richings, Paul Broughton, Pauline Fleming, Scott Alder, Tom Sowinski
(seen at the afternoon performance on 11th November 2017).
Apparently conceived around the same time as the noted television biopic, Jeff Pope makes deft work of adapting the same material for the live stage. Bill Kenwright and co-director Bob Tomson give the thing a smart pace, with a simple and atmospheric set by Gary McCann and some (non-period, but life-enhancing) lighting from Nick Richings.
Scott Alder and Marc McBride bowl the famous tunes to the audience, the arrangements of “Zip-a-dee Doo Dah” and “Twist and Shout” are particular highlights. If choreographer Carole Todd is a little reluctant to let the “kids” free-style to the early numbers, once they relax, they dance up a storm.
And yes, I’m playing games with the person reading this… you all want to know about Cilla herself, right? OK, so, one Kara Lily Hayworth. Sounds like Cilla, has the same warmth as Cilla and – if not the same physical stature – is pretty much perfect in the role. Had the show opened in the West End, her acclaim would have been assured within the popular press and industry as a whole. As it is, I’m certain she will find her place in the top flight in due course anyway. Her “Liverpool Lullaby” in particular confirms the talent.
There are similarly impressive performances from the other people in her remarkable life. Her Bobby (Carl Au) matures impressively through the story, and (for those who remember him from “Waterloo Road”) has a surprisingly good voice – “Shy of Love” and “Taste of Honey” a lovely moment in the show.
The always reliable Andrew Lancel (Brian Epstein) is a man on the edge, leading a double-life of which he is not always in control. The inevitability of his downfall is not just in the writing, but the clues Lancel sows in his performance. Similarly nuanced (and with added trumpet) Tom Sowinski’s scenes as precise George Martin are another highlight.
In smaller roles, Amy Bridges (Rose) and Billie Hardy (Pat) capture Liverpool youngsters to perfection, while back in the White household Paul Broughton (John White) serves up a proud “man of the sea” father to “could have been” wife Pauline Fleming (Big Cilla).
With sound work from the team impersonating the Beatles – Bill Caple (Ringo), Michael Hawkins (John Lennon), Alex Harford (George Harrison) and Joshua Gannon (Paul McCartney), and some fun from Alan Howell as Gerry Marsden and Burt Bacharach (a well-conceived “Alfie” sequence), there’s some great extra songs and decent humour too.
The necessities of giving actors time to rest between big numbers and the crew time to change the scene results in a slightly long 2 hours 50 minutes running time (counting 20 minutes interval), and it’s always pretty clear where the “breathers” are in the show, but it really doesn’t matter. The cast do their energetic best, the music is a never-ending flow of timeless hits and the star performance is a glittering diamond doing justice to the memory of a showbiz legend. A lorra, lorra fun.

Green Rain
A theatrical/musical entertainment celebrating pianist and composer Joan Trimble by Miriam Gallagher
Enniskillen Arts Festival Event
This evocative and nostalgic insight into the early life and influences of Enniskillen born Joan Trimble (1915-2000) conjures up her colourful background; her progress from precocious musical childhood to her famed two-piano partnership with her sister, Valerie, and her success as a composer, and later as proprietor of the family-owned Impartial Reporter newspaper. Family, friends and key influencers are vividly recalled in award-winning playwright Miriam Gallagher’s lively script and woven throughout with some of Joan’s best loved two-piano music, performed by Una Hunt and Danusia Oslizlok. Una, who is one of Ireland’s leading pianists and has toured extensively in Europe and the USA, has been an indefatigable champion of Joan Trimble’s music and played a leading role in returning it to prominence in the Irish music scene.
The evening will conclude with light refreshments and a glass of wine, with proceeds from the evening being donated to Horizon West Children’s Hospice.

The 10 Best Restaurants In Houston, Texas
Houston | ©Katie Haugland/Flickr
Ellen Von Weigand
Houston’s restaurant scene is characterised by an eclectic array of international and interstate influences. Most famous for barbecue and Tex-Mex, food in Texas also borrows flavours from nearby Louisiana as well as the various immigrant populations that have settled here. These 10 restaurants represent the best dining in the city.

El Real Tex Mex
With a large portion of the state bordering Mexico, Texas cuisine takes extensive inspiration from the tacos, enchiladas and tamales of its Southwestern neighbor. El Real Tex Mex describe themselves as vintage Tex-Mex, an American regional culinary category born out of the cross border rail travel between Texas and Mexico which occurred towards the end of the 1800s. The restaurant is housed in a restored cinema, making for an ambience that is at once vibrant and retro.

Gatlin’s BBQ
If Texas is known for one dish, it’s barbecue, and Houston is home to some of the best smoked meat joints in the country. Among these, Gatlin’s is consistently ranked as one of the best for its perfectly seasoned brisket, and melt off the bone ribs. As true Houstonians with strong links to both Texas and Louisiana, these regionally inspired flavours shine through in their most celebrated dishes.

The home of this unique dining philosophy pairs Southern comfort food with truly great wines from around the world, proving that true Texas fare can be raised to the ranks of fine dining. Merging innovative modern cooking with Southern classic dishes, the resulting menu is what they refer to as ‘gourmet comfort food’. A carefully curated wine list has been prepared to accompany these dishes, which can be enjoyed amidst the rock and roll melodies of the juke box.

Brennan’s of Houston
Among the variety of culinary influences that infiltrate Houston, Texas’ proximity to the Cajun and Creole cooking of its neighbour Louisiana has brought some of the nation’s most unique flavours to the Lone Star State. Brennan’s of Houston is the quintessential Southern restaurant, combining exceptional Creole cooking with genuine hospitality.

Underbelly claims to offer ‘the story of Houston food’ by incorporating fresh, local and underused ingredients in a celebration of Houston’s history as a port city and centre of agriculture. The architecture and interior decoration of the establishment are also notable. Designed by Houston-based Collaborative Projects, the modern Southern Interior is characterised by barn-like ceilings and hand-crafted furniture.

Hugo’s
Authentic Mexican food is also a staple within Texas, and Hugo’s restaurant is one of Houston’s most praised examples of this cuisine done right. The restaurant was opened in the Montrose district in 2002 with the goal of bringing traditional, regional Mexican cuisine to the people of Houston. Hugo’s is also noteworthy from an architectural standpoint, with sweeping staircases, wide windows and intricate detailing on the brick facade,

© Haven
Haven restaurant has ‘Lone Star State Roots’, in the most literal sense. Chef Randy Evans opened his green-inspired restaurant in 2009 to highlight the produce of farmers, ranchers, fishermen and artisans from throughout the state of Texas. In addition to this, the restaurant grows many of its own spices in the large garden out back, and a beekeeper works manages the nearby hive. Diners are able to check the origins of their dishes on the large map at the restaurant’s entrance. Evans created his menu, which is described as Texas Modern Cuisine, by considering the state’s multicultural communities, incorporating elements of the Vietnamese, Mexican, Acadian, German, Czech and Polish communities that reside here. Featured dishes include fried oyster tostada, shrimp corn dogs and wild Louisiana catfish.

Occupying a corner location in Houston’s historic Warehouse District, Oxheart restaurant is a four-star establishment that expertly brings out the flavors of the simplest of ingredients. The range of reasonably priced tasting menus on offer here are served in a comfortable and homey environment, adding an element of sincerity to the meal. Rustic wood tables built by a local carpenter and hand-painted murals fill the spaces here, while waiters attend to diners dressed in leather aprons.

Rudy’s Country Store and Bar-B-Q
In true Texas style Rudy’s first opened as a convenience store and gas station before the barbecue restaurant was added in 1989. Rudy’s Country Store and Bar-B-Q has since garnered a reputation as one of the best places for authentic Texas barbecue in the state. The interior of this Houston favorite screams small town America with red and white checkered table cloths, wood beamed ceilings and a red, barnyard-esque facade. The restaurant boasts barbecue pits that are 100 per cent wood fired with oak, which burns more slowly than the popular mesquite used by others, ensuring the juiciness of their meats.

Booklaunch: Unmasked Corruption in the West
Raphaël Kergueno
WHERE: Filigranes, Avenue des Arts 39, Brussels (Booklaunch & discussion)
WHEN: Tuesday 26th September 2017 from to 18.00 to 20.00
Europe and North America are often perceived as having high standards of integrity in public life, largely free from the shady bribe-taking officials and small suitcases images of corruption. But is this image true? Or is the kind of corruption which afflicts western countries just hidden further in the shadows?
In a new book “Unmasked: corruption in the West” Laurence Cockroft, co-founder of Transparency International, and Anne-Christine Wegener, an anti-corruption analyst, challenge preconceptions by exploring how political finance, lobbying, the banking system and organised crime undermines Western democracy.
The authors argue that policy outcomes in sectors ranging from pharmaceuticals to environmental regulation are being determined by money rather than the public interest. The intertwining of money and politics changes the narrative in the West where it is less “the corruption of brown envelopes but the corruption of influence”.
To mark the occasion of the Brussels launch of “Unmasked: corruption in the West”, we invite you to discover, in the presence of Laurence Cockroft, Anne-Christine Wegener and Daniel Freund from Transparency International EU, how far the West has to go to clean its own house and put an end to its “cult of secrecy”.

‘You encourage people to leave the Church of Scientology’: The Mike Rinder deposition
By Tony Ortega | February 10, 2015
On Wednesday, we told you about the startling admission by Mike Rinder in his January 6 sworn deposition that Leah Remini, who defected from Scientology in 2013, has been in talks to join a federal fraud lawsuit against the church.
Now, we’re going to post the entire deposition for you to examine, and we think you’ll find a few other things in it pretty entertaining.
Rinder was once the international spokesman for Scientology in a long career in the church that began while he was quite young. His Adelaide parents first became interested in L. Ron Hubbard’s ideas in 1959 or 1960, and Rinder first remembers being audited at about 15, in 1970. In the 1980s, he became one of David Miscavige’s most trusted lieutenants, and oversaw Scientology’s intelligence wing, the Office of Special Affairs, and was involved in its legal affairs for many years. He finally left Scientology in 2007 after he’d spent more than a year in Miscavige’s notorious office-prison for executives, “The Hole.” (For more background on Rinder, and video of him talking about his imprisonment see our earlier item.)
Rinder began speaking out publicly about Miscavige and Scientology in 2010, and he’s become one of the most visible and vocal critics of Miscavige in the world. He was prepared to testify when Debbie Cook was sued in 2012, and he’s offered declarations and affidavits for numerous other cases since then. But in that five years, he has never faced off with one of the church’s attorneys in an adversarial sworn deposition.
Rinder was deposed because Luis and Rocio Garcia, in the fraud lawsuit they filed against Scientology in January 2013, are heading for a February 18 showdown with the church in the Tampa federal courthouse over Scientology’s internal arbitration scheme. It’s a preliminary matter, but a potentially huge one — if Judge James D. Whittemore agrees with the Garcias and their witnesses, including Rinder, that Scientology’s arbitration is a sham and that the Garcias have a legitimate reason to be in civil court over the money they donated, it could be fairly disastrous for the church.
So Scientology, which never shies away from spending lavishly on litigation, flew in a ringer, the California attorney that Miscavige prefers to have ask questions in depositions — Bert Deixler.
It was Deixler’s job not only to question Rinder about his knowledge of the arbitration rules — which Rinder had a hand in amending — but also to look for ways to attack Rinder’s credibility and get under his skin. We enjoyed the opening section of the deposition, when Deixler, from the very first question, began putting Rinder on the spot about leaving the Church of Scientology and then becoming involved in the independent Scientology movement.
If you read Rinder’s excellent blog today, you know that he’s moved away from the “indie” view of things in important ways at the same time that his writing is still popular with many independents. It’s been fascinating to watch the evolution of Rinder, and his former church colleague, Mark “Marty” Rathbun, as their time in the organization recedes.
But Deixler wants to paint Rinder with the indie brush, which we have a feeling is something Miscavige asked him to do…
Deixler: Let me make sure that I give you the proper credit. Is it proper to address you as Reverend or Minister?
Rinder: I prefer that you just address me as Mr. Rinder.
Deixler: Mr. Rinder. You are, however, a minister of the Independent Church of Scientology; is that true?
Rinder: I wouldn’t — no, I wouldn’t — I wouldn’t say that’s true.
Deixler: Let me, in that case, have marked as Exhibit Numbered 1 a document filed with the State of Florida and ask you to take a look at it. I have a copy for your lawyer, and it purports to be a Department of Health Vital Statistics, State of Florida, marriage record involving the marriage of Mark Charles Rathbun and Monique Renee Carle, and at the bottom left-hand corner of the document there appears be a signature above a printed name. First, do you recognize that signature, sir?
Rinder: Yes, I do.
Deixler: And is that your signature?
Rinder: Yes, it is.
Deixler: And this was a signature which you applied in connection with your role as a minister of the Independent Church of Scientology?
Rinder: Correct.
Deixler: And as of the time that you signed this document in or about July of 2010, were you a minister of the Independent Church of Scientology?
Rinder: I was.
Deixler: And where is the Independent Church of Scientology headquartered, if you know?
Rinder: I don’t.
Deixler: Do you continue to work as a minister of the Independent Church of Scientology?
Rinder: No. I already told you that I don’t — I don’t do that now.
Deixler: You don’t do that now. What do you mean by that?
Rinder: Work as a minister of the Independent Church of Scientology.
Deixler: When did you stop being a minister of the Independent Church of Scientology?
Rinder: I’m not sure when I would — when I would say that I no longer considered myself to have that view of life.
Deixler: View of life. Are you still a member of the Independent Church of Scientology even if you are not a minister of that charge?
Rinder: I wouldn’t — I wouldn’t think so.
Deixler: When did you stop being a member of this independent church?
Rinder: Same answer: I’m not really sure.
Deixler: Sometime in 2014 or 2013 or sometime — a different time?
Rinder: Yeah. Like I said, I’m not really sure.
Deixler: I see. When were you anointed as a minister of the Independent Church of Scientology?
Rinder: I don’t think that there is such a — I don’t understand the question.
Deixler: You don’t? How were you invested with the powers of being a minister of this independent church, what was the mechanism, procedure?
Rinder: There wasn’t really a procedure.
Deixler: You just decided that you were a minister of the Independent Church of Scientology and that was the end of the procedure?
Rinder: I — hmm. I’m not so sure that I know exactly what the answer to that is. I think that it’s probably the fact of the people that considered themselves or do consider themselves Independent Scientologists would nominate or decide who is or isn’t someone that they would look to to perform ceremonies on their behalf.
Deixler: I see. Who nominated you to perform this marriage ceremony?
Rinder: Mr. Rathbun.
Deixler: OK. And were you nominated on the morning of July 8th, 2010, or sometime before then?
Rinder: Oh, no, sometime before that.
Deixler: I see. And you don’t know exactly when you stopped serving in that role as minister; is that fair?
Rinder: Yeah, that’s —
Deixler: Now, one of the things that you’ve done, sir, since you became a minister of the Church of Scien — Independent Church of Scientology is to encourage other people to leave the Church of Scientology. Is that fair?
Rinder: No.
Deixler: As recently as this week am I correct that you have given interviews to say if you want to be a dedicated practicing Scientologist, you’re better off doing that outside the church than inside?
Rinder: This week?
Deixler: Yes, sir.
Rinder: I don’t recall doing an interview this week that said that.
Deixler: Did you give — did you give a podcast or participate in a podcast recently?
Rinder: A podcast? Is that — is that Jeffrey Augustine, you mean?
Deixler: Yes.
Rinder: Yeah, I participated in that.
Deixler: And am I correct to say that in the course of that podcast you encouraged people to leave the Church of Scientology?
Rinder: I don’t know. You have a transcript there? I don’t know. Maybe I did. I don’t know.
Deixler: You don’t remember?
Rinder: No, I don’t remember.
Deixler: Do you remember participating in the podcast with Mr. Augustine?
Rinder: Yes. I just told you I did.
Deixler: And how — how long ago was that?
Rinder: Two weeks ago.
Deixler: OK. Sometime in the end of 2014?
Rinder: Uh-huh.
Deixler: Yes?
Rinder: Yes.
Deixler: And you don’t recall whether you encouraged people to leave the Church of Scientology —
Rinder: No, I don’t.
Deixler: — is that fair? OK. Do you remember saying anything like “you’ll get a lot further for a lot less money with a lot less pain and suffering if you left the Church of Scientology”?
Rinder: Yes, I do recall something like that.
Deixler: OK. And the reason for your saying that was to discourage people from remaining in the Church of Scientology, correct?
Rinder: No. I think that the reason for saying that was to let people know that there was an alternative.
Deixler: And the alternative is this Independent Church of Scientology?
Rinder: No. The alternative is whatever someone is looking for to resolve their spiritual needs.
Deixler: You encourage people to leave the Church of Scientology and look elsewhere for satisfaction of their spiritual needs; is that fair?
Rinder: That’s fair.
Deixler: And that’s something you’ve undertaken over a considerable period of time since you yourself left the Church of Scientology, correct?
Rinder: Yes, that’s correct.
Deixler: In fact, that’s been one of your principal both occupations and hobbies since you’ve left the Church of Scientology; is that fair?
Rinder: I would neither call it an occupation nor a hobby.
Later, Deixler begins to get to the same thing he asked Marty Rathbun in a December deposition — haven’t you lied in the past, in sworn testimony for the Church of Scientology?
“I think that I have said that there were things that I lied about when I was in the church and lied about as a spokesperson for the church,” Rinder answers, and then offers a specific example. “I lied specifically when asked by the BBC, John Sweeney, whether David Miscavige had struck me and I said no, and that was a lie, and I am not aware of other things where I have said I lied to the media or acknowledged having lied. Who knows, maybe there are others, but I’m not aware of them. That’s the one that I’m aware of.”
A little later, Deixler asks Rinder how he prepared for the deposition — a very common question asked of witnesses — and Rinder says he did little preparation. He’s already familiar with the lawsuit’s various pleadings, he says.
Deixler: Do you have a copy of pleadings that have been filed in the case?
Rinder: I have a copy of some of the pleadings. They’re online.
Deixler: I see. And how did you get the copies of those?
Rinder: I read Tony Ortega’s blog. That’s how I usually get them.
Deixler: Tony Ortega, who is Tony Ortega?
Rinder: He is a guy that has a blog in New York.
Deixler: And he’s covered or published information about this case?
Rinder: Yes, he has, routinely.
Deixler: And you are — and you are a regular reader of information about this case?
Well, we’re just crushed that Mr. Deixler doesn’t remember the time we got in his face at the Comal County courthouse in Texas a year and a half ago and asked him what it might do to his reputation that the “very religious” and “sacrosanct” documents he told the California and US Supreme courts should be kept secret from Laura DeCrescenzo in her lawsuit turned out to include such things as notes showing that Laura, then about 12 years old, was punished for missing her mother after being separated from her. The rest were similarly “religious” in nature.
Deixler is very fortunate that the only member of the media pointing out how he lied about that to the highest courts in the land is just a lone blogger in New York that even he hasn’t heard of.
Deixler then asks Rinder about the money he’s been paid as a consultant in litigation against Scientology (which isn’t very much), and then gets to the question about who he’s been talking to in regards to joining the Garcia suit or otherwise suing the church for refunds. Among them is the actress Leah Remini. As we indicated last week, our source close to the actress tells us Remini is serious about suing Scientology in order to get back “very large” donations she made under circumstances she now considers false pretenses.
The questioning then gets to Rinder’s involvement with the arbitration rules — from Deixler’s questions, he seems interested in making Rinder’s involvement seem momentary and long after the rules were first set down. Rinder pushes back, saying that he was intimately involved as the rules underwent various changes.
As with Rathbun, Deixler tries to get Rinder to say that he has hatred for Scientology leader Miscavige…
Deixler: The ecclesiastic head of the church is Mr. Miscavige, correct?
Deixler: Whom you despise, true?
Rinder: Incorrect.
Deixler: You like him?
Rinder: No. I — neither way. Neither do I despise him nor do I like him. I mean, there are times in my life when I’ve kind of liked the guy. He’s a — he’s a personable sort of a guy. There are times in my life when I have despised him. My view of Mr. Miscavige is based strictly upon his actions, what does he do.
Deixler asks Rinder about leaving Scientology in 2007, which he has described numerous times in the media. Rinder was in London, finally fed up with his treatment, and one day he gave his colleagues the slip and made his escape.
Scientology, however, always says that former members who make a run for it were actually fired for incompetence, and now, in his deposition, Rinder learns that he’s accused of making some errors with some documents in the lengthy litigation filed by former member Lawrence Wollersheim.
Deixler: Did Mr. Miscavige express to you his dissatisfaction with the manner in which you had handled certain documents that were involved in the Wollersheim case?
Rinder: Oh, I have no idea. I haven’t got a clue. I mean, he expressed his dissatisfaction about how I did all sorts of things numerous times, many, many times over.
Deixler: But one of the things that you knew he was upset with was the manner in which you handled documents in the Wollersheim case, correct?
Rinder: Not at all. I mean, I have — I don’t know. I’m sure you’ve got something that says that but I have no recollection of that whatsoever.
Deixler: The — in connection with the McPherson case, which you were involved with here in Florida, wasn’t an issue raised regarding what had happened to the Wollersheim documents?
Rinder: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Deixler: Really?
Rinder: Really.
Deixler then explained that former church official Jesse Prince had claimed that some OSA documents in the Wollersheim case had been pulped, but then it turned out that the supposedly destroyed files were found, and Miscavige blamed Rinder for “allowing the lie” about the missing documents to be “perpetrated.”
“It’s certainly not something I recall,” Rinder answered.
As in the deposition with Rathbun, Deixler has a document from Rinder’s past that he wants him to read aloud. In Rathbun’s case, Deixler asked him to read a 1993 confession of his loyalty to Miscavige. And now, he asks Rinder to read a similar document he had written ten years later, when he was being punished by being forced to live in a tent on the golf course at the Scientology International Base near Hemet, California with three other Sea Org workers.
Rinder: “Many times — many times I’ve looked at the overts I’ve committed when I have lied to you and I’ve always had the idea that it was bad because it had caused upset but not really confronted it as a basic violation of integrity and therefore something far more fundamental and degraded. It is a reflection” — how long do you want me to go?
Deixler: Just finish that paragraph.
Rinder: “It is a reflection on my cowardice and lack of integrity that I would do this and it’s just black and white wrong and a low-tone suppressive trait. I’ve done it many times with you and have always had some justification for it that I then didn’t really confront it for what it is. I finally confronted this for real. There is no justification or Q&A about it. It’s wrong, it’s low-toned and, especially under the circumstances of being in the midst of a war, it’s suppressive. I don’t mean it’s OK at any time, it’s not, but the times I have done this with you have been when my neck has been so precious to me that I have been willing to put you and the church in danger because of it.”
Deixler: OK. Thank you. Now, at the time you wrote Exhibit Number 2 to Mr. Miscavige, the statements that you’ve just read into the records, did you believe those to be true?
Rinder: Oh, yeah, yeah.
Deixler: And now, from your new perspective, do you think you were lying to Mr. Miscavige on that occasion?
Rinder: I think I was telling him what he wanted to hear.
We’re not really sure why Miscavige thinks this is an effective strategy. He’s having his attorney press Rinder to read a handwritten document that was produced while Rinder was in a Scientology gulag. Does Miscavige really believe that Rinder’s words from 2003 will convince a judge or jury that Rinder’s credibility is in question? Or rather, will it only prove that Miscavige can force a pathetic and obsequious petition out of someone he’s confined and has restricted to rice and beans? It’s truly puzzling.
Later, Deixler, as he had with Rathbun, questions Rinder about some of the things he’s said and written about Miscavige. In particular, comparing the Scientology leader to Adolf Hitler and Jeffrey Dahmer. Rinder answers that he was merely following the example of L. Ron Hubbard, who illustrated his concept of the antisocial personality with comparisons to Hitler.
“I don’t think Mr. Miscavige is a cannibal, nor do I think he’s a murderer, not even — not even in my remotest wildest dreams do I believe that. I don’t believe that he persecuted Jews. I don’t think that he really is Hitler. I’m talking about is that the personality type? Yes, I think he is that personality type as described in the scripture of Scientology, which was what I knew, and now I have read other books and I come to understand the term ‘sociopath’ and so now I more commonly describe him as a sociopath than an antisocial personality or a suppressive person,” Rinder answered.
Deixler then turned to an incident our readers will remember well…
Deixler: In connection with the opening of the Flag Church in Clearwater, is it correct that you hired a helicopter to stream a banner in front of the assembled Scientologists at the time Mr. Miscavige was speaking for the purpose of drowning him out and embarrassing him?
Deixler: Did you hire a helicopter?
Deixler: Did you ride a helicopter?
Deixler: Over the church?
Deixler: At the time of the opening dedication of the church?
Deixler: And what was that purpose for?
Rinder: To document how many people were there.
Deixler: I see. And did it have any banner or streaming behind it, the helicopter?
Rinder: Not that I saw.
Deixler: Make any statements?
Deixler: Ever raise any questions about the whereabouts of Shelly Miscavige after you had learned that there had been a police investigation which concluded that she wasn’t, quote, missing?
Rinder: That’s a separate thing. That’s a plane.
Deixler: Will you answer my question?
Deixler: OK. Tell me about the plane.
Rinder: I was trying to help you.
Deixler: Thanks, and I appreciate your help, believe me. Tell me about the plane as it relates to your involvement in questioning the whereabouts of Mrs. Miscavige?
Rinder: There was a plane that flew over the Fort Harrison that had a banner towing behind it saying “Where’s Shelly?”
Deixler: And what did you have to do with that?
Rinder: I watched it.
Deixler: Anything else?
Deixler: Did you know it was going to occur before it did?
Deixler: How did you know that?
Rinder: The person that hired the plane told me.
Deixler: Who told you?
Rinder: Mike Bennitt.
Deixler: And what did you say to him?
Rinder: What time?
Deixler: What was your — what was your — why did you think that was appropriate?
Rinder: Why did I think that was appropriate? Are you asking me why do I think that Mike Bennitt told me?
Deixler: No. Why did you think it was appropriate to have a plane with that banner go over the Fort Harrison?
Rinder: Well, I think it’s a good question.
Deixler then pulls out another old document written by Rinder, in which he lauds Shelly Miscavige for helping him in some way. Deixler again is trying to portray Rinder as someone out to hurt people who previously had helped him.
The deposition ended relatively early. Deixler seemed frustrated, and Rinder really wasn’t giving up anything very useful. He comes off as calm throughout the session.
There are other interesting items in the deposition, and we have no doubt that our readers will track them all down.
Here’s the document itself…

Giffords Circus comes to London
Giffords Circus comes to Chiswick House.
Traditional big top show Giffords Circus brings horses, clowns and acrobats to the capital for first time in ten years.
by Douglas Mcpherson
11 June 2015 18:59 Thu 11 Jun 2015 18:59:37 BST
One of Britain's most traditional circuses has arrived in London for the first time in ten years. Giffords Circus, which features horses and dogs alongside Ethiopian jugglers and a human cannonball, will be appearing in its intimate big top in the grounds of Chiswick House, West London, until June 24. Giffords Circus, which recreates the appearance and atmosphere of a small village green circus from the 1930s, is the brainchild of 42-year-old mother of twins, Nell Gifford.
Circus runaway
The Oxford educated Gifford ran away with Santus Circus as an apprentice elephant groom in the 1990s, to escape the emotional pain of a riding accident that left her mother with brain damage. Under her maiden name, Nell Stroud, she wrote a book about her travels called Josser - which is the circus word for an outsider who joins their world.
In 1999, Gifford was invited to talk about her book at the Hay-on-Wye Literary Festival, and talked the organisers into booking her circus. At the time, Gifford didn't have a circus. Her new book, Giffords Circus - The First Ten Years, relates how she and her husband Toti went about creating their own big top show from scratch.
With no public funding, the couple ran up a £100,000 debt and were forced to move out of their rented cottage and sleep on a pub floor. But their show was the hit of the Hay-on-Wye festival and has since gone on to become one of the most successful in the UK, touring mainly in the Cotswolds.
City Circus
Chiswick House is the circus' first engagement in London since it appeared in Hoxton Square in 2003. On that occasion, the circus' long journey to the capital was almost thwarted in its final yards when its collection of painstakingly restored vintage showman's wagons wouldn't fit through the gates to the square. With the rush hour traffic becoming grid-locked around them, Toti ripped the Victorian gatepost out of the ground with his bare hands and the wagons were pushed inside.
The company's latest show is called Moon Songs and is set in a Victorian fairground called Luna Park. The line-up includes gymnastics from Kenya's Konjowech acrobatic troupe, Ethiopian jugglers Bibi and Bichu and Tweedy the clown.
Circus Animals
Befitting the circus' old-time appearance, horses and a traditional sawdust ring are central to the 90-minute show. The use of animals in circuses is always contentious, but Gifford writes in The First Ten Years, "If there ever came a time when we could not have horses in our show then we would not do a show at all. The horses' welfare is paramount. They are kept in peak condition and their needs are met. They come first."
After the show each evening, the big top will be re-configured as the Circus Sauce restaurant where the audience can enjoy a £25-per-head dinner beneath the canvas.
Following its London engagement, Giffords Circus will be at University Parks, Oxford, from June 26 - July 6.

An All-Star Doctor Who Line-Up Headlines the London Film and Comic Con 2018
Doctor Who fans are in for a treat this coming weekend because the London Film and Comic Con boasts a huge array of stars, notably six (or arguably seven) Doctors!
Of special interest are: Tom Baker, Colin Baker, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston, Matt Smith, and Peter Capaldi. Sadly, Sylvester McCoy has had to cancel his appearance, but there’s a further Doctor on hand – David Bradley, who played the First Doctor in Twice Upon A Time, plus Solomon in Dinosaurs on a Spaceship and William Hartnell in the 2013 docudrama, An Adventure in Space and Time.
This is really quite a remarkable line-up for the LFCC, especially as Eccleston rarely does conventions – to see him joined by Doctors from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2010s is incredible.
Further Doctor Who stars at the event include Steven Moffat (showrunner, 2010- 17), Pearl Mackie (Bill Potts), Arthur Darvill (Rory Williams), Ingrid Oliver (Osgood), Bonnie Langford (Mel Bush), Guy Siner (Genesis of the Daleks), Jeremy Bulloch (The Time Warrior), Andrew Cartmel (Script Editor), Shane Rimmer (The Gunfighters), Julian Glover (City of Death), Jimmy Vee (The End of the World), Paul Kaye (Under the Lake/ Before the Flood), Tim McInnerny (Planet of the Ood), Richard Wilson (The Empty Child/ The Doctor Dances), and Noel Clarke (Mickey Smith).
Sneak peek of the print by Giorgia Sposito, available exclusively at the LFCC.
Plus, of course, this is as much a celebration of comics as TV and film, so you could also meet Giorgia Sposito and Arianna Florean (Titan’s The Tenth Doctor), Simon Myers (Titan Comics’ cover artist), and Rachael Stott (Twelfth Doctor), alongside many more! The venue is, of course, immense, so if you see any of them, be sure to go and say hello – we’re certain feedback and appreciation for their work will be gratefully received.
Other guests include Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (Ebony Maw in Avengers: Infinity War), Caroline Munro (James Bond), Tony Robinson (Blackadder), Aiden Turner (Poldark), Amber Rose Revah (The Punisher), Sara Pichelli (Ultimate Comics Spider-Man), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), Mark Buckingham (Fables), and Kim Hartman (‘Allo ‘Allo).
All guests charge for autographs and photos; be aware that not all guests are appearing every day.
The 2018 London Film and Comic Con takes place in Olympia, London (duh), 27th- 29th July 2018.

Mississaugas of the Credit flag to be raised permanently at Town Hall
On April 2, Oakville’s Town Council voted unanimously to install a new flagpole to permanently fly the Mississaugas of the Credit flag at Oakville’s Town Hall.
Rich in history, yet not well known, Oakville is located on the Treaty Lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, part of the Anishinaabek (Ojibwe) nation whose traditional lands extended across Southwestern Ontario.
Wendy Rinella, Oakville Community Foundation CEO, and Stephen Paquette, an Indigenous Knowledge Keeper, spoke in support of permanently raising the flag outside of Town Hall. The Foundation convenes the Oakville Partnership on Truth and Reconciliation and Mr. Paquette acts as its Chair. The Partnership includes many Oakville organizations committed to implementing the Calls to Action from the Truth & Reconciliation Commission.
“I love talking about the rich, proud history of Oakville, but I want my fellow residents to know there’s a history that encompasses before Mr. Chisholm came here,” said Mr. Paquette. “When we talk about relationships, it doesn’t have to be one or the other. It’s meant to be inclusive.”
Mr. Paquette went on to say that going forward it is important to acknowledge the Town of Oakville, but to also acknowledge that it sits on the treaty territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit.
“When we change the future, it’s not just for the Indigenous citizens of Oakville, it’s for all the citizens of Oakville,” said Mr. Paquette. “I’d like to think we can learn about our collective past and that’s how we’re able to reach our full potential.”
Councillor Marc Grant thanked Stephen Paquette for speaking and also added that he hoped the decision would mean the Town is headed in the right direction to acknowledge its rich past while embracing a better future.
The permanent Mississaugas of the Credit flag will be raised at Town Hall with Chief Stacey R. Laforme on June 17, the same date as the Strawberry Moon, an important date on the Indigenous calendar and a time of healing, reconciliation and starting anew. We hope that you will come and join Wendy, Stephen and the Town Council to raise the flag at 3 p.m.

US Misfortunes in Afghanistan Will Not End
By Brig Asif Haroon Raja
With so many wise heads cobbled together in Kabul devising strategy how to finish the endgame in Afghanistan on a winning note, none has been able to come out with a workable and viable plan. George Bush led team intoxicated with power relied entirely on force and itched to crush any opposition coming their way. By the time they were unseated from power, they had inflicted incalculable harm to US prestige, image and credibility. The new team led by Obama promising a big change made no change in the overall war strategy. The only change Obama made was to shift centre of gravity from Iraq to Afghanistan and to crush Taliban-Al-Qaeda nexus through troop surge led by new military commanders Gen David Petraeus and Gen Stanley McChrystal who had supposedly done well on Iraq front. They were chosen to reverse the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan. Policy makers did not learn any lesson when the troop surge failed to deliver in 2009. Rather, Helmand operation turned into a disaster resulting in large scale casualties of coalition troops.
Instead of making amends they are reinforcing failure through another troop surge of 30000 getting completed in August. Kandahar operation is being undertaken in September despite failure in Marjah. Vice President Joe Biden and many among Democrats were not in favor of sending additional forces as asked by Gen McChrystal. They suggested reducing number of troops and focusing on Taliban and al-Qaeda in Pakistan. They preferred greater use of missile strikes and Special Forces operations in Pakistan, seen as the main base of al-Qaeda.
Having flipped-flopped between self-defeating mix of surge and exit, US leaders are again treading simultaneously on the twin path of use of force and reconciliation. It speaks of utter confusion and uncertainty prevailing in Washington how to convert defeat into victory. They want to sail in two boats and hope to cross the stream by bleeding the Afghans with stick and trying to recon ciliate with them through carrot. After nine years of constant use of force the American leadership has now grudgingly agreed to Karzai’s proposal of reconciliation with Taliban, but arrogance comes their way. They want to first sufficiently hemorrhage the Taliban and then negotiate with them from position of strength. Karzai has been mandated to win over second and third tier leadership of Taliban including some members of Taliban Shura and ordinary fighters to be able to isolate hardliners led by Mullah Omar, Haqqani and Hikmatyar.
The success of new plan hinges on successful Kandahar operation, winning over sizeable number of Taliban leaders, killing irreconcilable Al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders based in Afghanistan and FATA, expanding and training ANA and police, and making them operationally worthy to be able to assume charge by mid 2011. This plan has run into snags at the very outset due to several reasons. Kandahar operation has been postponed for the third time since Marjah operation was a fiasco and Helmand province as a whole is still restive. Civil administration has been unable to take over the administrative control of the province because of apathetic condition of ANA, Afghan police and other departments. Police serving in Helmand are addicted to opium and cannabis. The police being thoroughly corrupt are most hated by Afghans. As per Pentagon’s assessment prepared in April 2010, of 121 districts in Afghanistan, regarded as critical in struggle against Taliban, none support the government, 29 were sympathetic, and 48 districts either empathized with insurgency or backed it. Karzai regime has shown no improvement in curbing corruption or improving governance.
Worst of all for USA is the rebellious streaks emerging in Karzai who has started doubting the ability of coalition forces to defeat Taliban movement. NATO countries are keen to pull out because of rising casualty rate and economic constraints. In 2010, up to 23 June 75 fatalities of NATO have taken place which makes it the worst month since 2001. In August 2009, 77 foreign soldiers lost their lives which had forced McChrystal to abandon forward posts and concentrate in main cities. So far 295 casualties have occurred this year. Dutch and Canada have already announced their decision to withdraw. Strains have appeared between US senior military leadership and US Administration because of disagreements on conduct of war.
As if these woes were not enough for Obama, an interview of Gen McChrystal and his aides using derisive language against top US civil leadership published by Rolling Stone Magazine created a storm in Washington. US top officials including Obama, Joe Biden, Ambassador Eikenberry, Holbrooke and James Jones were contemptuously criticized. McChrystal’s main crib was that Obama was uninterested and rather uncomfortable in discussing Afghan war during a meeting at Oval Office. James Jones was called a clown and Holbrooke a wounded animal. Fuming Obama summoned McChrystal in Washington. Ignoring his apology he gave him his piece of mind and told to resign. His resignation from his current post of commander US and NATO forces in Afghanistan has been accepted and CENTCOM Commander Gen Petraeus asked to takeover his duties as well. Robert Gates has now ruled out major pullout in July 2011.
This is not an ordinary event since it is for the first time after Gen Mac Arthur’s defiance where a top US military officer has openly disparaged US leadership and that too at a time when situation in Afghanistan is critical. McChrystal’s cynicism could be a tit for tat response to civil US officials who have been questioning his professional abilities. Some had even passed derogatory remarks. Many veterans in USA do not hold good opinion about him and rate him very poorly. His demand for 40000 additional troops was not well received in Washington. Joe Biden, James Jones and Eikenberry were among the opponents of troop surge. Even Obama remained in two minds for good about three months and had to finally give in reluctantly.
Unit commanders in Afghanistan had serious reservations about Gen McChrystal’s restraining order to trigger happy troops to avoid collateral damage to civilians. They wanted complete freedom of action to ask for air and gunship helicopter support against suspected targets. The Indians were also disturbed over his remarks that presence of Indians in Afghanistan was contributing towards destabilization in the region. McChrystal’s failure in Marjah and his timidity to start operation in Kandahar were not to the liking of the hawks. They are hungry for success which the General had not given. His closeness with Gen Kayani and his generous praises to Pak Army discomfited them as well as Indians. They were honing the axe for sometime and have finally got the opportunity to axe him. His sacking will not bring any material change in the overall policies nor would help in upturning the fortunes of US military in Afghan war.
While McChrystal must be thanking his stars for having got out of the hellhole without losing his face and job, it is now Gen Petraeus’s turn in the barrel. The whole load has suddenly come on his shoulders at a time when the US has run out of options and overall situation is murky. Coming months will prove how he acquits himself under most challenging times. He should remain wary of Israeli intrigues since Tel Aviv has not forgiven him for his anti-Israel briefing to Admiral Mike Mullen in JCSC on 16 January.

Brandon’s Viles headlines U SPORTS men’s volleyball major award winners
Published: 14 Mar 2019, 09:30 AM 14 March 2019, 09:30 AM Last Update: 15 Mar 2019, 05:49 PM 15 March 2019, 05:49 PM
Brandon outside hitter Elliot Viles was honoured as U SPORTS men’s volleyball Player of the Year Thursday morning, as the national award winners were celebrated at the annual All-Canadian breakfast.
Past Award Winners
Ryerson outside hitter Xander Ketrzynski captured Rookie of the Year honours, while McMaster outside hitter Andrew Richards took home the Dale Iwanoczko Award for Student-Athlete Community Service for his outstanding contribution both on and off the court. Brandon Bench boss Grant Wilson is the Fox 40 Coach of the Year.
PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Elliot Viles, Brandon
Australian outside hitter Elliott Viles is the U SPORTS Player of the Year, after a dominant campaign, which saw his Brandon Bobcats post a 20-win regular season.
The third-year started all 22 games for Brandon, playing 73 sets for the Bobcats, who earned straight set wins 16 times this season.
Viles finished fourth in the nation in hitting percentage at .366, while posting 4.1 points per set and 3.37 kills per set, which were both good for eighth in Canada West.
The First Team All-Canadian was essential to the best season in program history, as Brandon reached No. 1 in the national top 10 for the first time ever.
“Based on his physical talent, his devotion to the game, and his mind for the game, Elliott is an extremely talented player who understands what it takes to succeed at a high level. He’s really committed himself to be the best volleyball player he can be,” said Brandon head coach Grant Wilson.
“He’s an extremely humble young man. I think it serves him well and it serves our team well. He understands you put a lot of work into things as an athlete, but you also need the support of your coaches and teammates. Everybody on our team certainly rallies around Elliott and supports him. We all appreciate what he does for us, and I know he's appreciative of the support the team gives him.”

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Xander Ketrzynski, Ryerson
It’s one thing to contribute to a team in your first season, but another to step into a national-leading role right away, but that is exactly what Xander Ketrzynski (Toronto, Ont.) did for Ryerson this year. In his debut campaign with the Rams, Ketrzynski earned Rookie of the Year honours while also being a nominee for Player of the Year, in leading his team to a 12-6 record.
In his first season, Ketrzynski found his name in and around the top of several offensive statistics. He was far and away the U SPORTS leader in kills per set (4.84), while ranking second in total kills (329). He was also lethal from the service line, pacing the country in aces per set as well (0.59).

When all of that top-tier offensive production is taken into account, it’s no surprise that the Toronto native led U SPORTS in points per set as well. The First Team All-Canadian and All-Rookie picked up a total of 392 on the year. This impressive campaign, which included four matches in which he eclipsed the 30-point plateau, was highlighted by a 33-kill, 35.5-point performance in the team’s penultimate game against Guelph.

DALE IWANOCZKO AWARD (Student-Athlete Community Service): Andrew Richards, McMaster
Andrew Richards (London, Ont.) capped his Marauders career as a two-time All-Canadian, and was an All-Rookie Team member in 2015. Taking on the role of McMaster's high-usage player on the left, Richards tallied a team high 185 kills over 16 matches, and enjoyed a .312 hitting percentage that ranked eighth in the nation.
While a great deal can be said about Richards’ on-court ability – wherein he averaged 4.2 points, 3.36 kills, and 0.51 service aces per set – the fifth-year senior put just as much work in around his school and community as well.
A member of McMaster’s leadership council and designated captain during matches, Richards’ ability to lead is prominent to say the least; a trait that he was also recognized for with the Wilson Scholar Leadership Award. He is a two-time Academic All-Canadian and beyond the classroom, has also dedicated his time and efforts into initiatives like the Dress for Success campaign, which recycles business-wear for underprivileged men to re-enter the work force, and Motion Ball, which allows youth with physical disabilities to participate in sport.
“I’m really happy for Andrew to be recognized by coaches across the country for his outstanding commitment to excellence on and off the court,” said McMaster head coach Dave Preston. “The Dale Iwanoczko Award is one of the greatest honours for a student-athlete to receive and is

COACH OF THE YEAR: Grant Wilson, Brandon
Now in his seventh season at the helm of the Brandon Bobcats, Grant Wilson guided his team to the best season in program history, as the 'Cats went 20-2 this season to top the Canada West standings.
Wilson has been with the Bobcats since the program's inception, first as an assistant coach between 2005 and 2012 before taking over as head coach.
During his tenure, Brandon has enjoyed great success on the court, including Canada West gold and national bronze during the 2012-13 season.
“Grant has done a fantastic job building the volleyball program at Brandon University,” said Brand Athletic Director Russ Paddock. “He’s worked hard to grow an excellent culture within our men’s volleyball team of dedicated student-athletes striving for success on the court and in the classroom. He's very deserving of this recognition from his peers.”

The FCC Just Changed the Definition of Broadband Internet
Devin Connors
1 POSTED: 29 Jan 2015 12:20
The new definition of broadband raises the download and upload definition requirements.
The FCC has just voted to change the definition of broadband, according to The Verge, raising the minimum upload and download speeds for Internet access to be identified as such.
The telecommunications governing body says download speeds need to be at least 25 Mbps (megabits per second), while upload speeds need to meet or exceed 3 Mbps. These numbers are up from the past FCC benchmarks of 4 Mbps and 1 Mbps, respectively.
Roughly 19.4 percent of Americans currently do not have access to Internet speeds that meet the new broadband definition.
"When 80 percent of Americans can access 25-3, that's a standard," said FCC chairman Tom Wheeler. "We have a problem that 20 percent can't. We have a responsibility to that 20 percent."
And the FCC doesn't seem entirely satisfied with the new benchmark, as commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel wants the definition figure increased to 100 Mbps. "We invented the internet. We can do audacious things if we set big goals, and I think our new threshold, frankly, should be 100Mbps," said Rosenworcel. "I think anything short of that shortchanges our children, our future, and our new digital economy."
The definition change has two immediate impacts. For starters, it goes against what many (all?) of the major cable/ISP providers have been lobbying for, as a speed bump on both ends will force billing and package offerings in the near future. Second, the change effectively removes phone line-based DSL Internet access from the broadband conversation. The FCC has said DSL will not be considered when broadband rule changes are made going forward. Verizon and AT&T DSL speeds top out at 15 Mbps and 6 Mbps, respectively, and a combined 6.5 million of their ISP customers use DSL for Internet access.
The 25 Mbps number isn't exactly arbitrary, either, as it's tied to 4K content streaming. Netflix recommends a 25 Mbps downstream for anyone wanting to stream Ultra HD (4K) video from its servers.
We'll be sure to update if and when the FCC releases a statement, and if the ISPs respond in kind.

I assume you meant download speeds of 25 Mbps and upload speeds of 3 Mbps.
Verizon and AT&T DSL speeds top out at 15 Mbps and 6 Mbps, respectively, and a combined 6.5 million of their ISP customers use DSL for Internet access.
I have AT&T DSL and I actually get 12 Mbps down and 1.5 Mbps up. And they offer up to 24 Mbps, I just didn't want to pay extra for it.
Jacked Assassin
I'd assume this may (or may not) be good news.
So what's the point of the South Park picture if this is good news?
Or is just some weird point that people with DSL may still get screwed over?
Hoplon
It really doesn't remove phone based dsl from the equation at all, BT in the UK is rolling out (as in it's still on going, at about 80% of homes right now) fiber to the cabinets, this get people up to 76 mbps down the phone line. perhaps they will just have to not over charge for shit services from now on.
Paragon Fury
RatGouf:
The picture from Southpark is there, I presume, to mock ISPs for actually losing a battle they assumed they were going to win.
Atmos Duality
Hoplon:
No, they'll just overcharge for the new standard, quietly throttle down speeds when the introductory grace period runs out, scale up regular carrier-costs and blame the government when people complain.
I've worked in this business before; I know how these jackals think.
Ajarat
Paragon Fury:
Oh, I'm sorry. I heard your company doesn't work that way... Do you want the number for another FCC that can- Oh wait, there isn't any...
/rubs own nipples
They're it, aren't they? Dangit, guess you'll have to change your packages..
Guess you'll just have to provide what we want.
If you don't want to provide what we want, guess you'll just have to shut down your business...
That's too bad!

Does this mean I can still play private servers of fantasy star on my dreamcast?
Steve the Pocket
Well, unless they plan to set a legal ceiling on the consumer cost per megabit, I don't see this actually mattering to anyone. It's like raising the poverty line; all you're doing is redefining how many people are officially living in poverty.

i wish my internet was atleast that fast
TiberiusEsuriens
My best bet is that there will be a trade off. The ISPs may accept this as long as the net neutrality bills don't get passed. They won't mind having to boost internet speeds so long as there is no legislation preventing them from jacking up prices for the new tier of 'official' broadband.
This is NOT the last we have heard on this.
schmulki
Yup, this is a fairly useless gesture to most people. They'll charge a TON of money to get faster speeds to make up for it and remove the slower speeds so people have a choice to pay up or have dial-up. Some will pay up, others will be set back even further by not having internet or having dial-up. The companies will then shrug their shoulders and say, "I'm not sure what's wrong, we gave them what you asked us to give them."
ChildofGallifrey
hawk533:
How do I jump on that? Cos I moved across the country about a week ago and am staying with my parents for a bit, and they get 1.42 down, whereas where I was living I had 90+ down. I'd happily pay for their increased speed while I'm here. I feel like I'm back in the dial-up days. . .
BeerTent
Jesus...
Soon enough, even The Americans will have better internet than us.
That's just sad.
Well, good news for you guys. This is an impact that affects a pretty big chunk of the world.
And now broadband ISPs will gouge customers even harder for basic service. This is only half of the battle.
GreyNicor
The telecommunications governing body says upload speeds need to be at least 25 Mbps (megabits per second), while upload speeds need to meet or exceed 3 Mbps.
I think the first upload needs to be download.
Hairless Mammoth
Oh, yay. This is either OK news or a big bargaining chip so net neutrality can hit more road blocks. Wheeler may look like he's going in the right direction to help the consumers, but we must remember he was a cable lobbyist for years and tried to pull a fast one on us less than a year ago. Time will tell whether he is still getting "gifts" from people with too much money and not enough morals or if he's realized that the nice thing to do is to make fair decisions.
I love how the two dissenting commissioners say 25Mbps is unnecessary and the 4K video streaming that requires 25Mbps is not widely adopted. It's not widely adopted yet because the ISPs are holding back progress, you twits. It growing and the TV sales show 4K will be relevant. Along with the game streaming and cloud computing crap that companies are pushing, that tells me 25Mbps is a pretty good ugrade to the broadband standards. I can not tell if they're on ISPs' secret payroll or if they are just out of touch with the industries they are supposed to watch and regulate.
I'm still waiting for the February 26th vote (and the continuing fight afterwards, no matter the outcome).
Valkrex
Its a start. Granted right now its just words on paper and no action has happened, but its a start. I hope this means good things for the future.
AstaresPanda
Iver never understood why america has some really piss poor internet speeds, i mean ffs im not even paying to the top level speeds with my isp and running a speed test now gave me 87 download and 11 upload.

OldNewNewOld
AstaresPanda:
The US is the first country that had accessible internet to the average Joe. The infrastructure is long forgotten ancient technology and changing it costs a lot. The sheer size of the US makes this even worse because the population density is far lower than in most European countries (generally speaking, cities are freaking dense, denser than the average youtube comment) meaning that you need more infrastructure for the same amount of people than other countries.
If you look at the the whole western world, you will notice hat most of them have worse internet than now developing 2nd world countries which are installing better infrastructure right from the start. It's a huge starting investment and ya know the old saying "don't fix what ain't broken"
EHKOS
Aaaaaand my bill just went up. I swear if they try to do that I'm....putting up with it because I seriously don't know what I'd do all day. BUT I SHALL STILL BE DISPLEASED.
Cowabungaa
Well, if it goes against what cable companies lobby for it must be a good thing. Because all those fuckers want is earn exorbitant amounts of money while providing as little service as possible. Neo-liberalism hoo!
DoctorM
So can we start suing our providers if they call it 'broadband' but provide below those speeds?
Or do they just get around it by calling it 'high speed' internet.
Zemaddog
I love being Australian!
"The Coalition believes that 15Mbps average download and 2.5Mbps average upload will be good enough for Australia in 9 years time (in 2023)."
Strazdas
uh, so which is it, 25 or 3? i think the first one needs to be "Download".
as commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel wants
I agree with him. currently 100 seems to be the standard for fast internet. i would agree with 50/50, but not bellow. when i look for internet i dont even look at anyone offering less than 50/50. and yes, upload is important
Second, the change effectively removes phone line-based DSL Internet access from the broadband conversation.
Phone line based DSL should never been in broadband conversation to begin with. Phone lines were never meant for internet, its just that we found a way to utilize them until we lay down actual internet cables.
haha. hahaha. hahahahahaha.
A good quality 1080p video will be MINIMUM 30 mbps. Bluerays are over 40mbps. 4k video is 4 times the pixels, and while compression helps, it will be more than double that 30 mbps. what netflix streams is like what youtube streams - horribly compressed crap image. To call it Ultra HD is an insult to the term High Definition.
Steve the Pocket:
its not like the ISPs can rise the price even more. US is already paying the most for one of the worst internets around. they may remain paying the most but perhaps the internet stops being the worst.
schmulki:
dial-what? dialup died in the 90s and should remain dead. there is no reason real to use dialup for anyone. the mere fact that somone in us may still use dialup for consumer grade internet is baffling. how can your system be so broken?
BiH-Kira:
It's a huge starting investment and ya know the old saying "don't fix what ain't broken"
the problem is - it is broken and have been broken for years.
And the amount of money ISPs are charging americans they can do that investment 10 times over and still have enough left to profit.
Bernzz
Meanwhile, in Australia...
Yeah. I'm impossibly envious of you.
Zemaddog:
Great, isn't it? *twitch*
Bernzz:
I love having Australian internet!
At least my internet isn't as bad as my friend's. He gets 2.5 down and 0.6 up. It's so bad he uses a 3g dongle for his xbox, because it's faster.
Shinkicker444
I used to get similar, albeit a few MB faster, speeds as you. But I cracked and made a deal with the devil, for a small portion of my soul per month for Helstra Cable.
If the NBN rollout was still going the way it originally was (well, was intended), it wouldn't be an issue for us, but nope.
ron1n
Me too! Aus internet is great:
*Actually not being sarcastic, I lucked out and have NBN in my building ;)
But yeah, America/Australia have the same low population density/large landmass curse when it comes to upgrading infrastructure.
At least America has Google rolling out Google fiber in some areas. We are stuck with a government that's completely jumped the shark. Just glad my building got connected to NBN before they came in and killed the dream for most -_-
Soviet Heavy
Hey be happy you guys at least have established internet. Canada still has trouble getting a broadband cable to small towns two kilometers away from major city centers.
Ravenbom
America has about 4 times as many people as in the UK and is much larger, about 1/4 million square kilometers versus nearly 10 million square kilometers, it's just a big place. And states like Hawaii and Alaska will always bring an average down given their latency.
It's only in the last two years or so they brought faster internet to my dad's house in Alaska and I can still only stream medium quality video (which is fine, better than TV signals which we barely get sometimes) if no one else is using the internet.
It's faster for me to go into town and use LTE on my iPhone or iPad when I want to DL something. Glad I live in LA.
It's the same for people most people from Anywhere, USA when they go back home as well.
Most Americans often forget that the bulk of the population live in small towns widely spread out from each other, and then we wonder why our social programs can't be a one-sized fits all. It's why social programs work better in the UK than they did in Russia.
Average internet connection suffers the same problem.
Personally, it's just a number as long as I can binge watch shows and complain on message boards. :P

Ugh. I know right? Having moved back here I've had to get used to my 'bad'/'cheap' UK internet being faster than the best I can get here. (it was 20-22 megabits), here I am really lucky and get 14.75 megabits at the moment, which for DSL is well... Impressive, but in the scheme of things?
What worried me most is how the coalition looked at the UK and decided 'yep. That's our long-term goal'.
When the UK itself considers it wholly inadequate, and it's often considered one of the worst in Europe... >_>
That's just so sad and stupid. No foresight whatsoever, and setting your standards so low the place you're copying it from already considers it far too slow...

I believe 4K streaming is excessive at this point. Netflix, I'm not one of your customers, but if your going to clog up the internet with your excessive bandwidth, you pay for infrastructure.
Strazdas:
"Your system" tells me you're not in the US, correct? Welcome to the problem with the horrid way the US handles internet. In the areas of this country which are further spread out, it costs more to run cable, so private companies just don't do so. So yes, there are some parts of the country where the best option might be DSL. If things are shaken up at all, people might be left with the options of a) pay a lot for faster service, b) pay very little for dialup, or c) nothing.

The cause and effect of a hard slide
What started with a bat flip all the way back in October, turned into a HBP, which turned into a hard slide and stare down, which then turned into a brawl, has now resulted in suspensions.
Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor has been suspended eight games for punching Jose Bautista in the jaw. Blue Jays pitcher Jesse Chavez was suspended three games for throwing at Prince Fielder in the eighth inning. Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus received a one-game suspension for "his aggressive actions" during the incident. There were several other suspensions and fines, including Blue Jay manager, John Gibbons. .
What I don’t get is why Kevin Pilar and Josh Donaldson only received small fines. Both were clearly " aggressive" as they charged the field.
Now here’s the thing that really bothers me…Bautista was suspended one game for his actions during the incident and for his postgame comments. If you watch the replay from the outfield angle, it shows without dispute, his aggressive slide and then his momentary stare at Odor. I say momentary, because Odor threw his haymaker a split second after Bautista’s “stare”. It was clear to me, he was looking for a fight and a fight he got, which was more than he bargained for. Sorry Joe (Torre) but I would have given him an additional game, as it was his slide and stare that set Odor off, resulting in one of the more big time brawls in recent memory. Seems to me he got off easy. It is not the first time this loser has opened his mouth or slid aggressively. Many players and umpires, if they could, would admit, he’s whiner and classless. When is someone going put this ego maniac in his place once and for all.
Interesting to watch and listen to all of the comments regarding the Ranger's brawl with Toronto Sunday. Waiting for someone to post a photo of Toronto's pitcher, Jesse Chavez, when he was sent out following the brawl to "throw at" Prince Fielder. You know he was the most frightened player on the field that day!

Darksider Video Game Walkthrough
January 31, 2009 Video Games Chronicles
Darksider walkthrough is an initial walkthrough of the early stages of the darksider video game to give a first hand impression of the game. Darksider video game, available in Xbox 360, PS3, and PC game is produced by THQ, the publisher which also produced the epic Titan Quest. Naturally the game is blessed with great graphics, great special effects as the Hero of the game “War” wields his sword Chaoseater and smashes all enemies aside.
Darksider 1st stage Walkthrough
In the 1st stage, War is summoned to Earth. He thinks it is the Apocalypse on Earth, as demons and angels swarm the city (looks like New York City with the yellow cabs), fighting each other for supremacy. Naturally, War, employed by the Charred Council which governs the balance between good and evil, intervenes and destroys the demons and also the angels with huge swings of his blade Chaoseater. At the end of the first mini-stage, a mini-boss appears, and the player character can change War into “Chaos Forms”, a more vicious and faster form of War.
Darksider – plays like a movie
Already, this initial darksider walkthrough feels like a movie. The cut-scenes at the end of each part of the game gives the impression that one is living the story. One of the best game-movie combo ever in recent years.
War battles through the streets and eventually arrives at a battle between the angels, led by Abaddon and an anonymous female angel and the Destroyer. Another cut-scene is presented before War is allowed to fight the Destroyer.
Darksider – has been framed
It looks like Darksider has been framed. He has been led to believe that the 7th seal has been broken, while in fact it has not. He demands to know of his brother horsemen’s whereabouts. The Charred Council tells him of the consequences of his actions. War realizes he must tell to Earth and correct his mistakes. The Charred Council agrees. Armed with Chaoseater, he sets out to avenge this wrong.
Darksider – be a Hero
As one can tell, this great game allows one to play through the game like the hero of a movie. Darksider is a fantastic game!
Darksider reminds one of the medieval times, and the cross between the modern world and medieval times. Another movie set to hit the big screen in 2011 crossing both worlds and updated at Comic Con San Diego 2010 is Thor. Stay tuned for more news!

Home > Real Estate Showcase > Future City
Words by Luke Mari. Renderings courtesy of ARYZE Developments.
ARYZE Developments is an integrated development and construction business that is using innovative architecture and construction techniques to deliver new types of family housing to urban Victoria neighbourhoods. We are a young team working to solve one of the most important issues impacting young families today: having a place that is comfortable and attainable — a home to build a family, a space to embody memories and cherished experiences. Homes are often treated as commodities and discussed in general terms. ARYZE isn’t trying to deliver housing, we’re trying to build homes. And despite what you may have seen or heard, it’s incredibly difficult to do so in Victoria.
Homes In Our Future (Shared) City
It’s fall 2018, and many municipal councils in the Capital are discussing ways to increase affordable housing. In Victoria, current deliberations are on the proposed Inclusionary Housing and Density Bonus policy. During the dialogue, one councillor caught my attention with the statement that development needs to pay for its impacts and inferred that an inclusionary housing policy was the best way to accomplish this. This got me thinking: why aren’t we talking about the inverse? Namely, what happens if we don’t develop new housing and we want inclusionary zoning? Does that mean all other zoning is exclusionary?
All This Housing and No Homes
We actually don’t have to look far to see a no-development scenario; it is happening in our own city. Neighbourhoods like Gonzales, Rockland, Fairfield, and Fernwood occupy 42% of the city’s residential land base but have only absorbed 10% of population growth over the last 45 years. On the flip side, neighbourhoods like Burnside Gorge, Harris Green, James Bay, and Victoria West have grown by 54% on 26% of the residential land base. What are these neighbourhoods feeling? Demo-victions, displacement, and gentrification; the data shows it is happening.
The areas of Victoria that have the least amount of renters also have the most amount of single-family dwelling (SFD) restrictive zoning. These areas also have the lowest amount of migration, immigration, and housing turn over. The areas that have the highest number of renters and lowest share of single-family housing also have the highest amounts of migration, immigration, and housing turn over. What this shows is that protection of one area of town is causing displacement somewhere else. You may be thinking, “I see cranes and construction all over Victoria, and the housing that is being built is unaffordable luxury housing.”
Unless this housing has a private movie theatre and car elevators, it isn’t luxurious housing. What we are actually talking about is luxury locations. What makes a location a luxury location? Scarcity. It’s when relatively few people can actually live there, in comparison to the number of people who would like to live there. It’s hard to quantify scarcity since there is no easy way to count the people displaced from an area. But one way to measure the balance of supply and demand is vacancy rate.
A healthy rental vacancy rate is somewhere in the neighborhood of 5% (Victoria’s current vacancy rate is 0.7%) and there is strong data correlating low vacancy with increased prices over time. Adjusted for inflation, rents have increased 25% on average since 2006 in Burnside Gorge, Harris Green, and Victoria West compared to 14% in Gonzales, Fairfield and Fernwood. Joe Cortright, president and principal economist at Impresa Consulting, put it best, “In the game of musical chairs that is the urban housing market, the only way to make sure that all people find a place to sit — i.e. not be displaced — is to add more chairs.”
Zoning Limits What Gets Built and Who Lives Where
Across Victoria as a whole, almost 70% of the city is restricted to single-family dwellings but only accommodates 24% of households. In a city where 60% of households are renters, 86% live in multi-family housing. We are essentially saying that the vast majority of the city is off limits to 23,900 renter households or people who can’t afford the average home price of $1,100,000 (August 2018). That sounds pretty exclusionary. So rather than primarily looking to rezonings for revenue to fund an inclusionary housing program, council should adopt zoning measures that in and of themselves, will increase housing choice and affordability.
Before you cry “self-interested developer greed,” please read further. Emily Hamilton, economist and author, very accurately states, “By itself, inclusionary zoning does nothing to address the exclusionary policies that came before it, and it increases the cost of building marketrate housing.” By limiting where housing can be built, zoning restricts the total number of new homes in a given neighborhood to far fewer than the market would otherwise provide. Rick Jacobus, Principal at Street Level Advisors, explains how this leads to an unaffordable housing market by comparing developers to car manufacturers.
So no, the problem is not greed. The development industry is behaving exactly the way we would expect any industry to respond to an artificial cap on their production volume. The same thing would happen in the auto industry: if we limited Toyota to only 100,000 cars per year, they might well choose to keep the Lexus and scrap the Camry, even though, at volume, the Camry is more profitable. Like cars, new homes eventually filter down the housing ladder.
Think about who buys new cars versus used cars; it’s not all that different. Yet there’s no outcry about Canada’s affordable car crisis because our country has plenty of affordable cars, just not affordable brand-new cars. The whole point of allowing the market price of a good to rise is to incentivize creating more of that good. If you restrict creating more of that good but allow the price to continue to rise, that is not market pricing, it is price rationing.
By artificially capping production, all the fears that generate community opposition to densification then occurs in other areas because intense pent-up market demand is concentrated like a fire hose, and that development is undertaken primarily at large scales (giant apartments) and in needlessly expensive ways. The antidote to the disruptive effects of big change is gradual change. The next increment of development — from single-family homes to duplex, duplex to townhouses, townhouses to small apartment buildings — should always be available, everywhere.
The luxury-only and exclusionary zoning problems are to a large extent a function of the fact that we have eliminated incremental change from most corners of our city. Neighbourhoods composed of single family houses are declared almost entirely off-limits to development. Together, let’s consider the radical idea that how much money you have shouldn’t determine whether or not you get to live in walkable neighbourhoods near public amenities, public transit and jobs. Low and modest income people deserve healthy communities too. Every neighbourhood should be for everyone; diverse neighbourhoods are strong neighbourhoods.

Nurturing a Multigenerational Community
The VISIONS Family Tree
Nurturing a Multi-generational Community
Rooted in core values and branching out to diverse communities, VISIONS grows like a tree. Behind the bark, 31 rings mark 31 years of meaningful service work. And to look at the sum of all that work is to see a multigenerational community.
A number of participants from the first years of VISIONS now have children volunteering with us this summer. Lauren Maguire joined VISIONS in 1992 and 1993 as a leader for the British Virgin Islands Program. She said that back then, “the idea of my own child attending a Visions program never crossed my mind!”
However, 26 years later her son, Nick, has committed to not one but two VISIONS programs – last summer on Montana Blackfeet and this summer in Cambodia.
Before joining VISIONS, Lauren had worked for an organization that led high school students in service projects with the homeless in New York City and directed a community service program in Montserrat for Operation Crossroads Africa.
“Through both these experiences, I became aware of the energy and enthusiasm that high school students had when engaged in real, meaningful work,” Lauren said.
“When I came across Visions, I was so excited to be able to work with students who were motivated to make their world a better place. The other part of Visions that appealed to me was the group time that is built into the program. Giving students time to share, evaluate and learn about themselves is part of the transformative aspect of Visions.”
Clearly, Lauren was a great fit for our leadership team — young, adventurous and thoughtful, living in the moment and participating whole-heartedly. After two summers with VISIONS, Lauren’s teaching career became a year-round commitment, but the impact of VISIONS lives on.
“I remember many experiences in the BVI — it was a wonderful experience. There was a little girl who lived across the road from the community center in Brewer’s Bay. Her name was Caroline and, at the time, I had a niece named Carolyn who was the same age. She would come over and play with the students, and she helped me feel connected to my niece back home.” (Lauren and Caroline pictured below.)
“Other experiences are too numerous — the talent shows at the Community Center, the swarms of bugs coming through the windows after a rainstorm, Barry (the local goat), having big land crabs hiding under our cots and watching the students discover something new through all their activities,” Lauren said.
She had suggested VISIONS to friends and family, but it was not until years later when her sons reached the teen years that VISIONS came up again. Her son, Nick, was looking to venture beyond the normal routine of high school.
“I was drawn to Visions as I trusted the program, I felt that the “circle time” might benefit him and the location was good — far away but not in a totally different culture,” Lauren said in reference to the Montana Blackfeet Program, which Nick joined last summer.
“Nick thrived and grew so much during his first summer with Visions. His leaders were patient and were really good about communicating with us when necessary. He made friends and gained a sense of confidence. He had an experience that he was proud to talk about. He even just gave a talk at a conference with three high schools and he spoke about Visions!”
Montana Blackfeet is one of our favorite and longest-running programs, going strong for 28 years — 28 rings in the VISIONS family tree. As one of our two Montana programs, it’s close to home. One of the great parts of Nick’s story is that after his experience in Montana, he now ventures to the other side of the world for a spectacular cultural experience.
“As we started thinking about this summer, he realized that he really wanted to do another Visions program. Knowing his age, he knew this would be his last opportunity to be a participant. I am so excited that we are able to send him to Cambodia. His increased maturity and confidence has been a pleasure to see!”
Thank you, Lauren! For your past leadership in the British Virgin Islands and for sharing your story with us today, we are grateful. As a multigenerational community, VISIONS grows stronger every year.

AQMD Withholds Key Records on Beach Bonfire Restrictions
By NICK GERDA | July 11, 2013
With Southern Californians gearing up for a critical hearing Friday on whether to place major new restrictions on beach bonfires, air quality officials are drawing criticism for refusing to release key records detailing staff deliberations and communications on the issue.
When the South Coast Air Quality Management District took up the bonfire issue earlier this year, opponents alleged that board Chairman Bill Burke had pressured agency staff to pursue a ban on the popular coastal activity.
To explore whether the claim was valid, Voice of OC requested on April 8 all the email traffic among agency staff and board members on the bonfire issue.
Yet more than three months after that request under the Public Records Act, reporters are still waiting for many of the records.
“If we’re talking about electronic records, there’s no excuse for going on for months or even weeks,” said Terry Francke, and expert of the Public Records Act. Searching for emails is relatively quick, he said.
Francke, general counsel at CalAware and open-records consultant to Voice of OC, said the AQMD should have finished handing over the emails long ago.
“The law says the records are to be made promptly available,” said Francke. The agency should also have been clearly communicating about any delays, he added.
“The rule is that you’re entitled within the first 10 days to a notification in writing … indicating which, if any, records are going to be made available to you, and if others are not going to be made available to you, which records those are, with the legal citations to the authorities that allow them to say no,” said Francke.
That 10-day notification deadline can be extended by up to 14 more days if officials can’t make the initial determination “without some unusual work,” he added. The 14-day extension would have to be explained in writing, Francke said.
In AQMD’s case, the agency never sought a 14-day extension. Its only notice, dated the day after the request, didn’t state when the records would be available or why there would be a delay.
The AQMD board is set to vote Friday on a host of new restrictions against beach bonfires, including a ban on fire rings within 700 feet of homes that is believed would eliminate all of Newport Beach’s rings.
The proposal also bans beach burning when high levels of fine particles are forecast and gives cities greater power to remove fire rings in their area.
The proposaol is drawing fierce debate among local residents and officials.
Opponents claimed the restrictions would sacrifice a treasured Southern California tradition and is a thinly-veiled attempt to cut down on the number of working-class residents enjoying public beaches in wealthy Corona del Mar.
Supporters of the restrictions, meanwhile, strongly reject claims of class distinctions and argue that the pits generate hazardous pollution that hurts public health.
The role of Burke, who resigned his post on the California Coastal Commission after comparing beach bonfires to “carpet bombing” in Vietnam, remains unclear.
Huntington Beach activist and historian Chris Epting, who has been a vocal supporter of beach bonfires, says AQMD officials have told him that Burke, a political appointee, directed staff to pursue the ban.
Burke was quoted telling the Coastal Commission in early March that he was “100 percent certain” a beach bonfire ban would go through at AQMD.
“When you have a chairman like Burke who proclaims that there’s a ‘100 percent’ guarantee that it’s going to happen — when you start with it, everything else is corrupted by it,” said Epting.
Burke didn’t return a message seeking comment late Wednesday afternoon.
“This thing felt like a done deal from the beginning,” said Epting, adding that the agency’s “transparency has been fictional.”
AQMD initially provided thousands of emails to Voice of OC in early May.
Yet after reviewing the first 2,000 of the approximately 3,000 emails available as of Tuesday, it became clear the records didn’t show staff or board deliberations on the proposed bonfire restrictions. All of the records were either public comments, conversations with members of the public or a listing of news stories. A random sample of the remaining 1,000 or so simply showed more public comments.

Asked about the lack of internal discussion records, AQMD officials said they wouldn’t hand over any emails showing staff or board conversations about the proposed policy, claiming that they are “covered by the deliberative process exemption or the attorney-client privilege.”
Francke disagreed, saying that staff discussions of policy issues are generally public records.
“No, I don’t believe the deliberative process privilege would apply to those kinds of communications,” said Francke. Higher courts have applied that privilege mainly to conversations between the governor and his advisers, as well as an older case involving phone records of city council members, he said.
Francke also said AQMD should have already been communicating on its own about why records were being delayed and what was being withheld.
Yet it wasn’t until a phone call Tuesday at Voice of OC’s request that AQMD mentioned it wouldn’t provide staff discussions about policy.
Agency lawyers said AQMD doesn’t tell requesters why it’s withholding records — something clearly required by law.
“We don’t necessarily provide any follow-up in terms of what we’re not going to provide,” said John Olvera, principal deputy district counsel at South Coast AQMD.
“We don’t do that in the ordinary course,” District Counsel Barbara Baird added later.
The Public Records Act, however, states that agencies must “determine whether the request, in whole or in part, seeks copies of disclosable public records in the possession of the agency and shall promptly notify the person making the request of the determination and the reasons therefor.”
Despite robust legal budgets — AQMD’s hovers above $6 million annually — many public agencies and even judges often misinterpret the Public Records Act.
The latest example is Orange County’s efforts to charge more than $300,000 for a CD copy of its digital property maps.
The Sierra Club fought the county for free access to the GIS parcel maps since 2007 and lost in Orange County Superior Court as well as local appellate courts.
Yet this week, the state Supreme Court unanimously reversed those decisions and ruled against the county, declaring that despite their private sector appeal, the digital maps are public records and thus free to the public.
An important point to this week’s state Supreme Court decision, according to noted experts such as Francke, is that justices underscored the strength of the state’s public records laws, pointing to the guiding principle that the voters added to the California Constitution in 2004 with Proposition 59.
In this week’s ruling, Justice Goodwin Lieu wrote that statutes, court rulings or other forms of authority “shall be broadly construed if it furthers the people‘s right of access, and narrowly construed if it limits the right of access.”

Despite Ruling, County Won’t Say If It Will Stop Immediately Destroying Public Records
OC officials may have found a way to continue to immediately destroy many public records of their government communications, despite a court ruling that it’s probably illegal to do so.

Voices by Clarissa Johal Blog Tour
"Sometimes the ghosts from your past…are real."
Title: Voices Author: Clarissa Johal Genre: Paranormal Psychological Suspense Release Date: May 19, 2015 Tour Host: DRC Promotions
Sometimes the ghosts from your past…are real. Moira Flynn is arrested for attacking a door-to-door solicitor with a knife. She claims a voice told her the man was intent on assaulting her. The trouble is, she was the only one that heard that voice. Moira strikes a plea bargain and is sent to a psychiatric hospital for voluntary treatment. Dr. Richard Cassano is hesitant to treat her as schizophrenic, as she does not show the standard symptoms. As their sessions progress, Moira confesses there are two voices—and they aren’t voices in her head, but the voices of ghosts. Are they imaginary? Or are they actual spirits, attached to her for reasons of their own? As Moira’s doctor uncovers more of her past, he begins to realize that her ghosts are real. And one of them is determined to drag Moira into the afterlife with him.

They got their food and sat at one of the dining room tables in the corner. Moira pretended not to notice a couple of raised eyebrows from the other patients. “How long have you been able to see them?” “Who?” “Your ghosts.” “For a while,” Moira replied vaguely. Adam picked up his dinner roll and took a large bite. “My guess is longer than just ‘a while.’” Moira’s attention was captured again by his green eye, so sharply contrasting his brown one. He was almost too intense to look at. Almost. “How did you get the scratches?” His gaze settled on her cheek. “One of the other patients started a fight,” she said, covering her cheek with her hand. “I guess she doesn’t like me.” “What’s not to like? You seem okay to me.” Oddly, his statement made her stomach do a flip-flop. “Thanks.” “You know how some people are, quick to judge.” He dropped his fork and bent to retrieve it. Moira pictured herself reaching over and brushing back the lock of dark hair that fell across his forehead. She glanced nervously over her shoulder. Jack and Isabella were strangely silent. Isabella was probably just trying to figure out what childish thing she could say, but Jack…she knew that Jack was sizing Adam up; he did it with every man she came into contact with. And she knew he wouldn’t appreciate her noticing how handsome Adam was either. “I’m sure they upped her meds,” Adam said as he tossed the fork onto the table again. “This place sucks. It won’t do a damn thing but make you spill your guts, drive you crazy or turn you into a zombie. Last pills they sent me home with made me feel like my skull was being split with a meat cleaver.” “So you stopped taking them?” “Yep.” “How did you end up back here?” “My brother called the cops. Lying asshole, I should be used to it by now,” Adam muttered. “I was staying with him until I got my shit together, but he walked in on me as I was flushing my pill down the toilet and freaked out.” A look of distress crossed his face. “Whatever, I’ll be out soon enough.” He finished his roll and started on an apple. “What did your doctor put you on? Who is your doctor anyways?” “Um, he hasn’t put me on anything yet. I see Dr. Cassano.” “Ahh, Dr. Cassano.” He raised an eyebrow. “I hear the nurses talking about him all the time.” “He’s nice enough.” “I see Dr. Leo. He’s an asshole.” He spit out the bite of his apple and without getting up, tossed the rest of it into the garbage, basketball style. “Have you spoken to your ghosts about leaving?” “I’ve …tried.” “They won’t?” “No.” “You want me to ask them for you?” “Seriously?” She stayed an initial surge of hopefulness and reminded herself that Adam was in here because he was crazy. Not like her at all. “I can try.” He settled back and stared right at Isabella. That’s a fluke, she thought. He just picked an empty spot next to me. “You need to go,” Adam said simply. “Moira doesn’t want you around her.” He waited a beat. “Wow, she’s hostel. Kids can be such brats. I’ll try your other one.” He looked right at where Jack stood. The other empty spot next to me, she reminded herself. “Leave. Your time is done, tall guy. You have no business being here anymore.” She felt Jack’s presence crackle with anger. “He’s even more hostel than she is,” Adam said. “Sucks for you.” Moira felt her hopes deflate. Well, it’s not as if he can really see them, she thought. “Thanks anyways.” He aimed his plastic cup towards the trash and tossed it. It missed and rolled towards the kitchen door. “Damn. No points for me.” The cook leaned out the kitchen door and waved his ladle at them. “Stop tossing your garbage everywhere, you’re getting milk on the floor. Somebody’s got to mop that up.” “I hate that a culinary genius like you has to do that,” Adam called back with a straight face. “Smart ass,” the cook replied. “You lucky I don’t spit in your food.” Adam held his hands up in mock surrender. “I know you say that with love, Nathan.” He picked up his tray. “See you around.” Moira watched him swagger away. It suddenly dawned on her that she hadn’t mentioned Isabella was a child or said anything about Jack. Lucky guess.

In the Hebrew Bible and the Quran, Aaron אַהֲרֹן (UK /ˈɛərən/, US /ˈærən/) was the older brother of Moses (Exodus 6:16-20, 7:7; Qur'an 28:34) and a prophet of God. Unlike Moses, who grew up in the Egyptian royal court, Aaron and his elder sister Miriam remained with their kinsmen in the eastern border-land of Egypt (Goshen). When Moses first confronted the Egyptian king about the Israelites, Aaron served as his brother's spokesman ("prophet") to Pharaoh. (Exodus 7:1) Part of the Law (Torah) that Moses received from God at Sinai granted Aaron the priesthood for himself and his male descendants, and he became the first High Priest of the Israelites. Various dates for his life have been proposed, ranging from approximately 1600 to 1200 BC. Aaron died before the Israelites crossed the Jordan river and he was buried on Mount Hor (Numbers 33:39; Deuteronomy 10:6 says he died and was buried at Moserah). Aaron is also mentioned in the New Testament of the Bible.

Aaron Scotus, Irish abbot and musician, fl. late 10th century – 14 December 1052.
Aaron was an Irish abbot and music theorist, the term Scotus at the time denoting Irish (person).
St. Martin's of Cologne
A Benedictine, Scotus was the abbot of St. Martin, Cologne, Germany in the year 1042. He pilgrimaged in his youth to Colonia to the Gaelic-Irish convent of St. Martin. He became abbot of the same in 1042. He was identified with Aaron, abbot of St. Pantaleon. Today historians reject this identification.
Work as a composer
It is believed that he first introduced the Gregorian evening service (nocturns) into Germany. He authored two historically important treaties: De utilitate cantus vocalis et de modo cantandi atque psallendi and De regulis tonorum et symphoniarum. The library of St. Martin, Cologne conserves his work Tractatum de utilitate cantus vocalis et de modo cantandi atque psallendi. He wrote three musical treatises, all of which have been lost.
Aaron died on December 14, 1052.

The characters from the American drama/adventure television series Lost were created by Damon Lindelof and J. J. Abrams. The series follows the lives of plane crash survivors on a mysterious tropical island, after a commercial passenger jet from the fictional Oceanic Airlines crashes somewhere in the South Pacific. Each episode typically features a primary storyline on the island as well as a secondary storyline, a flashback from another point in a character's life.
Out of the 324 people on board Oceanic Flight 815, there are 71 initial survivors (70 humans and one dog) spread across the three sections of the plane crash. The opening season featured 14 regular speaking roles, making it the largest cast in American prime time television when it premiered.

SOWETO, South Africa — The legacy of Nelson Mandela is constantly invoked in South African politics, and with most of the votes counted from Wednesday’s general election, it likely has helped his party, the African National Congress, to extend their 25-year run as the country’s ruling party. But a controversial new opposition party has started to chip away at their dominance: The upstart Economic Freedom Fighters party rose from relative obscurity to win nearly 11 percent of the vote this election season. They’ve done so, in part, by positioning themselves as the only party that could finish what Mandela started, all the while constantly attacking the very same ANC that he used to lead. VICE News went to South Africa before the vote to find out how changing attitudes about racial inequality played out in the presidential race.

South Africa’s coloured community, the official term for mixed-race people in the country, were alienated during the country’s apartheid regime. Many in the community now feel that the current democracy also marginalises them – that they “aren’t black enough”. Violent protests recently rocked coloured communities across South Africa. Fed up with gangs, drugs and unemployment, residents took their frustration to the streets. The BBC’s Vauldi Carelse went to find out what’s at the heart of this anger.

South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa, is the southernmost sovereign state in Africa. It is bounded on the south by 2,798 kilometers of coastline of southern Africa stretching along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, on the north by the neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, and on the east by Mozambique and Swaziland, and surrounding the kingdom of Lesotho. South Africa is the 25th-largest country in the world by land area, and with close to 53 million people, is the world's 24th-most populous nation. It is the southernmost country on the mainland of the Old World or the Eastern Hemisphere.
South Africa is a multiethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. Its pluralistic makeup is reflected in the constitution's recognition of 11 official languages, which is among the highest number of any country in the world. Two of these languages are of European origin: Afrikaans developed from Dutch and serves as the first language of most white and coloured South Africans; English reflects the legacy of British colonialism, and is commonly used in public and commercial life, though it is fourth-ranked as a spoken first language.

White South African farmers say they're living in fear
Debate has been raging about whether white South African farmers deserve special attention under Australia's humanitarian visa program. Like many issues in Australia, it's split along partisan lines. Conservatives highlight horrendous violence suffered by farmers and say they would integrate well in Australia while progressives say the motivation is more about race. According to police figures, 71 people were murdered on South African farms in the year to March 2017, but farmers say that figure does not reflect the full extent of the violence.

Sustainable ingredients ethically sourced
We craft our products with love, selecting the finest herbs, botanicals and essentials oils, then maximizing their therapeutic benefits at our eco factory in Dorset, England. Discover the incredible stories behind some of our ethically and sustainable ingredients on this map below and find out how they support communities all over the world.
Our ingredient stories
Nourishing, skin conditioning and rich in protective antioxidants
sustainable and ethically sourced
Sourcing Fairtrade, organic honey from Mexico
We source honey from Chiapas, in southern Mexico, where the versatile flora gives this honey its beautifully delicate aroma.
Indigenous farming communities in hard-to access villages sell their honey through an ethical cooperative, ensuring fair trading conditions. It also founded an independent women's group, to help the women of the native Tzeltal Tzozil people with smallholdings so they can earn their own income.
Hives at the cooperative
"Fair honey trading is very important as it means they are no longer solely reliant on coffee farming. As the honey is certified organic it means that the farmers and the bees are living on land not exposed to synthetic chemicals and so are as healthy as possible, an important part of our campaign to Help Save the Bees." Susan Curtis, Natural Health Director
at Neal's Yard Remedies
Promote a profound feeling of wellbeing
Sourcing sustainable Sandalwood from Australia
Renowned for its high quality and wellbeing properties, we source Sandalwood (Santalum album) from Australia. Here, the luxurious essential oil is extracted from trees grown in sustainably managed plantations.
Protecting vulnerable species
Due to its high value and demand, in the past Sandalwood has been exploited to the verge of extinction. After years of searching for a sustainable source, we're delighted to have secured a sustainable supply of Australian Sandalwood.
Over 10 million trees have been planted at tree nurseries so far.
Rows of sandalwood trees and 'host' plants are planted alternatively.
"Taking 15 years or more to reach maturity, Sandalwood is a hemiparasitic tree, meaning that it needs to attach to another plant as a 'host' to get the minerals it needs to survive. This, in addition to the traditional value of the tree, have contributed to its rarity. For this reason, we only wanted to stock Australian Sandalwood when we were absolutely sure we'd found a carefully managed plantation source that actually makes a positive contribution to sustainability." Susan Curtis, Natural Health Director
& Ingredient Pioneer
Organic avocado oil
Nourishes and helps maintain healthy skin
Ethically sourced, organic avocado oil from Kenya
We source our organic avocado oil from the Thikia region of the Kenyan highlands, from hundreds of small-scale, family-owned farms.
The avocado growers are spread out throughout the region so, on top of a fair price, each receives an individual share of the Fair Trade Fund payment, both of which help improve the lives of the farmers and their families.
Theresa, avocado farmer
Theresa, one of the avocado growers has had to raise 7 children after her husband died in 1998. From her fair trade premium, Theresa has invested in a water tank and some livestock, and over the next few years her target is to build a new home – and she's already made a great start!
nealsyardremedies.com
Neal's Yard Remedies sources through an independent trader and exporter working directly with the producer. We have also visited the project ourselves to build our relationship and better understand people's needs. Our last visit was in 2013.
Organic palmarosa
Origin: Uganda
Naturally purifying and oil-balancing, with a floral aroma, palmarosa is ideal for oily skin and T-zones
Ethically sourced, organic palmarosa from Uganda
We source our organic palmarosa essential oil from a small distillery near Tororo, in eastern Uganda, where this lush grass grows wild.
We've worked with a young farmer called Joel to set up a distillery, where he makes organic palmarosa essential oil with crops from local farms, creating valuable employment. We also buy our cleansing organic lemongrass and refreshing organic citronella oil from Joel.
The oils are distilled in a plant designed to minimize environmental impact. The dry grass remnants from the distillation process are pressed into briquettes to fuel the boiler, while solar panels provide electricity.
By contributing to the cost of organic certification as well as funding a water well, we are actively promoting sustainable practices and supporting local communities.
"Getting a fair and reliable price for our lemongrass essential oil has provided a much needed cash income for many families in our community." Joel, Distillation owner
Organic chiuri butter
Origin: Nepal
Rich in nourishing vitamin E to help keep skin soft
Ethically sourced, organic chiuri butter from Nepal
Our organic chiuri butter comes from the Surkhet Valley of southwest Nepal, and is a great ethical and sustainable natural alternative to palm oil.
Around 60 women from the village of Nayapanizufa harvest fruit from the chiuri trees. Gently shaking the tree allows them to pick the fallen fruit from the ground. Collecting around 5kg each a day, they take them home to remove the flesh and dry the seeds. After taking the seeds to a local co-operative, the women are paid a fair price and the seeds are traditionally pressed to extract the butter.
Mandari Garanja, Chairperson of the collectors group
"With money often hard to come by, the cash income the women get from the co-operative is important for the whole family. Paid a fair price for the amount of seeds collected, they use this income to buy food and clothes. From the discarded fruit, they make a local liquor, 'Chiuri rakshi' which they can also sell" Susan Curtis, Natural Health Director
Origin: Oman
Treasured for centuries for its deeply therapeutic properties
Frankincense from Oman
Collectors hand-harvesting frankincense resin.
We source our pure essential oil from the Dhofar region Oman, the cultural home of the finest frankincense.
During harvesting season, around 20 experienced collectors make small cuts in the bark ofBoswellia sacratrees using traditional tools. A milky liquid oozes out and is left to harden in the sun. After about 14 days, the collectors return and slice off the resin. These 'pearls' are taken to a local distillery where they're steamed to extract the precious oil.
"There's a growing sustainability movement in Oman, working to combat unstainable practices that mean that many frankincense trees are in danger of dying out. We're proud to only use the most sustainably sourced frankincense while supporting local collectors at the same time." Susan Curtis, Natural Health Director
Organic bee pollen
Origin: Spain
Boosts energy and helps combat seasonal irritations
Sourcing organic bee pollen from Spain
Hives in the Spanish mountains.
Courel and Ancares mountains.
Our organic bee pollen comes from a family company in Galicia, who have been keeping bees since the 1980s in the rugged Courel and Ancares mountains.
The bees work at more than 1640 feet above sea level, producing high quality mountain honey. They forage on the diverse mountain flora, including chestnut, oak, heathers, and blackberry bushes. The bee pollen consists of tiny granules from the anther of the flower, formed by the bees into spheres. The variation in color between the granules is due to these various plant origins, producing an exquisite combination of white, black, yellow, orange, red, green and violet hues.
Democratic Republic
of the Congo
Ethically sourced, organic geranium oil from Democratic Republic of the Congo
Our balancing geranium is handpicked in DR Congo, giving local people income security and empowering life skills. The certified fair trade and organic plantation provides employment for more than 250 workers, including many mothers affected by the civil war.
Fair trade premiums have helped provide access to healthcare and a school fee fund for the workers' children.
Families are supported by the fair trade premiums
Neal's Yard Remedies sources through an independent trader and exporter working directly with the producer.
Organic argan oil
Origin: Morocco
Ethically sourced, organic argan oil from Morocco
Our intensely nourishing organic Argan Oil comes from the wonderful fair trade cooperative in the Souss valley, Morocco.
The fair price we pay for their incredible oil, together with the Fair Trade Fund, is giving the women financial independence, access to literacy classes, and money to support their children through high school, and even on to university
"Here, in the countryside, there would be no other work without argan" The Tighamimine Women's Cooperative,
Neal's Yard Remedies sources through an independent trader and exporter working directly with the producer. We have also visited the project ourselves to build our relationship and better understand people's needs. Our last visit was in 2014, and we plan to return in Spring 2019.
Ethically sourced, organic tea tree oil from Kenya
Our organic tea tree oil is grown on the foothills of Mount Kenya. In addition to a fair deal, Fair Trade Funds have been used to fund solar panels and school fees.
"The fund has been used to provide scholarships for the workers' children, as education isn't free in Kenya, so this makes a big difference." Miquel Boix Tomas, fair trade partner
On top of the fund, we have funded an extra 14 water tanks to help families meet their everyday household needs.
Farm manager Kigo.
Ingredients | 10 ingredients we avoid & why
We follow the Precautionary Principle and don't use any ingredients we believe could cause you or the planet harm. This is why we avoid using the following:
1. MEA/DEA derivatives
A type of surfactant used to produce a foaming effect, these derivatives are associated with known carcinogens. Look out for Cocamide DEA, Lauramide MEA, Linolemide DEA and Oleamide DEA when buying hand wash, shampoo and shower gel.
2. EDTA
A powerful metal ion chelator that strips impurities from products and balances the formulation to help prevent it from spoiling. As they don't biodegrade readily, we use biodegradable alternatives with a similar effect. Look out for EDTA on ingredient lists.
3. Parabens
Synthetic preservatives used in cosmetics, many have had concerns raised over their safety and estrogen-like activity. Look out for words ending in 'paraben', such as 'methylparaben' on ingredient lists.
4. Phthalates
Used as a plasticizer to create flexibility in hair sprays and nail varnishes or as a solvent to stabilize the fragrance of a product, some phthalates are very toxic and have been banned from EU products. We've decided to 'ban' them all, just in case. Look out for Dimethyl Phthalate and Diethyl Phthalate to avoid phthalates.
5. Silicones
These synthetically produced emollients are often used in haircare and skincare products to create a smooth texture. To mimic the effect we use vegetable oils, butters and waxes instead. Look out for words ending in '-thicone' and '-oxane', to avoid silicones.
6. Genetically Modified ingredients
Not enough is known about the long-term implications. Many GM ingredients are designed to withstand high levels of pesticides, but we prefer to support organic farming, avoiding agrochemical traces and protecting wildlife. Look out for GM-free products.
7. Synthetic fragrances
Often hidden under the term 'Parfum' or 'Fragrance' on ingredients lists, some synthetic fragrances can trigger allergies and asthma. We use 100% pure essential oils to naturally fragrance our beauty products. Instead of listing our essential oils collectively as a 'blend', we choose to list them individually to show they're all natural oils.
8. BHT
This petroleum derived ingredient is used to prevent products from oxidizing. There are scientific debates with uncertain conclusions around its safety and possible link as a potential carcinogen. It's also toxic to the aquatic environment. Instead, we use vitamin-rich ingredients to create a similar antioxidant effect. Look out for BHT on ingredient lists.
9. Mineral oil
Often found in baby oils and balms, mineral oil is derived from petroleum – a non-renewable resource from a polluting industry. Our baby products contain a nourishing sunflower oil base instead. Look out for Paraffinum Liquidum and Petrolatum to avoid mineral oil.
10. Triclosan
An antimicrobial and antifungal preservative often used in deodorants/antiperspirants, mouthwashes and toothpaste. Some research indicates it may contribute to antibiotic resistance in bacteria. We use vegetable derived ingredients instead,such as cleansing shikimic acid in ourroll on deodorants. Look out for Triclosan on ingredient lists.
We have never tested on animals, only on willing humans. We are certified by Cruelty Free International.

MOTOWN: "Motown’s Back on Broadway—Here’s Why and What’s Changed" by Playbill's Michael Gioia - "When it announced its closing in 2014, it was already a hit—recouping its $18 million investment before it played its final performance January 18, 2015—but it was decided that the show would have the out-of-town tryout it never had to rework certain aspects. Motown became leaner—both in terms of storytelling and weekly production costs—on tour, and plans were always in place for its 2016 Broadway return. Although there are still well over 50 songs in the show, the cast size went from 41 on Broadway to 33 on tour. The New York Times originally reported that weekly production costs would decrease from $850,000 to $675,000." http://bit.ly/29DpHkN

Journals of the Century
Author: Jim Cole,Tony Stankus
Category: Language Arts & Disciplines
Get the experts’ perspective on the top journals of the 20th century! The Journals of the Century project gathered some of America’s top subject expert librarians to determine the most influential journals in their respective fields. Thirty-two contributing authors—led by Editor Tony Stankus—reviewed journals from over 20 countries that have successfully shaped the evolution of their individual specialties worldwide. Their choices reflect the history of each discipline or profession, taking into account rivalries between universities, professional societies, for-profit and not-for-profit publishers, and even nation-states and international ideologies, in each journal’s quest for reputational dominance. Each journal was judged using criteria such as longevity of publication, foresight in carving out its niche, ability to attract & sustain professional or academic affiliations, opinion leadership or agenda-setting power, and ongoing criticality to the study or practice of their field. Journals of the Century presents wholly independent reviewers; none are in the employ of any publisher, but each is fully credentialed and well published, and many are award-winners. The authors guide college and professional school librarians on limited budgets via an exposition of their analytical and critical winnowing process in determining the classic resources for their faculty, students, and working professional clientele. The chapters are logically grouped together in six clusters that reflect the commonly shared interests of library liaisons and the range of like-minded academic departments they typically serve. These clusters include: The Helping Professionals (chapters on social work, education, psychology, sociology, and library and information sciences) Music, Museums, and Methodists (chapters on visual arts, anthropology, archaeology, philosophy, and the American religious experience) Business and Law (chapters on business and economics, plus legal literature) War and Peace (chapters on modern history, political science and international relations, and military affairs) Physical Sciences and Engineering (chapters on mathematics and the physical sciences as well as engineering and computer science) Life, Health, and Agriculture (chapters on medicine and surgery, pharmacy, physical therapy and nutrition, agriculture, and veterinary medicine) Journals of the Century answers questions such as: Which university press leads in high-ranking titles in the helping professions? In what crime-fighting journal, ironically mentioned within the Music, Museums, and Methodists cluster, do anthropologists routinely publish? What two journals cover the biggest yearly expense of most working Americans and rankly highly within both chapters of the Business and Law cluster? What family of British publications has remained indispensable reading for political and military readers for over a century in the War and Peace Cluster? What society in the Physical Sciences and Engineering cluster publishes more journals than any other publisher in this book, covering topics from light bulbs and computers to MRIs and windmills? What one-word-titled journal has joined the venerable pair of Nature and Science as the most important reporters of world-class breakthroughs in basic biomedical science? and many, many more! Journals of the Century includes extensive commentaries on each cluster by the editor, with graphical representations by world regions and publishing sectors contributing to each chapter. ISSN numbers for print editions, and URL addresses for online editions are provided in a comprehensive title index. This unique book is an essential resource for serials librarians in academia, new reference librarians familiarizing themselves with classic titles, and collection evaluators and college accreditation examiners.

BELIEF IN THE PAST
THEORETICAL APPROACHES TO THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF RELIGION
Author: David S Whitley,Kelley Hays-Gilpin
Publisher: Left Coast Press
Human actions are often deeply intertwined with religion and can be understood in a strictly religious context. Yet, many volumes and articles pertaining to discussions of religion in the archaeological past have focused primarily on the sociopolitical implications of such remains. The authors in this volume argue that while these interpretations certainly have a meaningful place in understanding the human past, they provide only part of the picture. Because strictly religious contexts have often been ignored, this has resulted in an incomplete assessment of religious behavior in the past. This volume considers exciting new directions for considering an archaeology of religion, offering examples from theory, tangible archaeological remains, and ethnography.

Essay disappointment life on in
Disappointment essay on life in. If it had been filled at random from a box containing equal numbers of black and white balls, the supposition in Mr Whitworth’s example is the most reasonable; but in the absence of any such information as this we are entirely in the dark, and the supposition made in §12 is neither more nor less trustworthy and reasonable than many others, though it doubtless possesses the merit of superior simplicity.[7] If the reader will recur to Ch. Though we may not be able to identify them with the ‘halsfang’ or the ‘wites’ and ‘bots’ of Anglo-Saxon laws, they were probably payments of something of the same kind, additional to the wergeld. Is not, then, the ignorance and fatality of mankind to be extremely pitied, whilst they remain slaves to the arrogance of a few of their own fellows, and are dotingly fond of that scrap of Grecian knowledge, the Peripatetic philosophy; and this to such a degree, as not only to think all accusation or arraignment thereof useless, but even hold it suspect and dangerous? oc metor?i, en ecki hinum botum er ?eir ofsa e?a vansa er i domum sitia oc sattmal gera. In this instance the elements would be commonly regarded as only partially the results of human volition, and chance therefore as being only a co-agent in the effects produced. Elsewhere in modern literature there are signs, though only a few, that walking is coming to its own. “Ungrateful world, O son; and made still worse By listless souls who on their way proceed With neither word of chiding nor of praising. A man whose death is great harm for many a poor man must needs essay disappointment life on in have been a good master, and a king need want no finer epitaph, though the phrase is full of the one thought which makes the prospect of death terrible.[5] One rather wonders what the workmen of Plato de Benedictis had to say about _him_ when he died; for, if the colophon to his edition of “Bononia illustrata” (Bologna, 1494) was worded with his consent, he had a nasty readiness to take all the credit to himself and leave all the blame for his workmen. What, then, is the _Homo Francus_ with a wergeld three times that of the ordinary _ingenuus_ of the district of Amor? 30. But this belief required that he should realize the glorious ideal of the prophets. Spedding. [212] Ditto, p. I., p. Peter in one night thrice denied Christ. WORDSWORTH has expressed this feeling of stoical indifference (proof against outward impressions) admirably in the poem of _Laodamia_:— ‘Know, virtue were not virtue, if the joys Of sense were able to return as fast And surely as they vanish. In these are the long austere lines of the cheek, the remote significant gaze, the look of inscrutable purpose and patience. Let us try to realise what the effect upon the wergelds of the Lex Saxonum would be of Charlemagne’s substitution of the silver solidus of 12_d._ for the gold solidus. The eye is very quick in detecting any symptoms of regularity in the arrangement, or any tendency to denser aggregation in one direction than in another. Protestantism revived the principles of the early Church; Catholicism retained the principles of Paganism. For example, what a monstrous fiction is this, that Jupiter should take Metis to wife, and as soon as he found her pregnant eat her up, whereby he also conceived, and out of his head brought forth Pallas armed. The French writer sees in the fourth chapter of Genesis a condemnation of Lamekh as the prototype of fierce vengeance, and at the same time of polygamy. He cannot after enfranchisement have been classed as an esne or a theow. (1) There is, first, the case in which the conditions of the problem are determinable _a priori_: that is, where we are able to say, prior to specific experience, how frequently each combination will occur in the long run. From this time forward he hates the name of _Mechanick_, and resolves to sell all his stock, and purchase a Plantation in _Parnassas_. II., where it was shown that the frequency of the respective numbers of occurrences was regulated in accordance with the magnitude of the successive terms of the expansion of the binomial (1 1)^{n}. _William James,_ Bradley or Bergson? They exhibit the most uncommon features with the most uncommon expressions, but which are yet as familiar and intelligible as possible; because, with all the boldness, they have all the truth of nature. So that by the two sacrifices we have elegantly painted the person of a man truly religious, and of an hypocrite. There is, or there was, a duplicate of this picture (of which the engraving is also common) in the Louvre, which was certainly superior to the one at the Marquis of Stafford’s. Now it is perfectly conceivable that in the new series, formed by his successive acts of different kinds, there should be no regularity. 962-992), exercising manorial rights over the great domain of the Church of Worcester made these leases to thanes on certain services for three successive lives (_i.e._ for the lives of father, son, and grandson) he did it expressly for the purpose of securing to his successor full power to renew them or not.[326] And from a tribal point of view it may be a pertinent question whether the restriction to the three generations had not some indirect connection with the tribal custom or instinct, so often alluded to, which gave to the fourth generation of uninterrupted occupation fixity of tenure and status. He then traveled over the various countries of the Continent, also England, Scotland and Ireland. Nor need we more than mention the common plough, to the team of which the tribesmen contributed oxen for the _cyvar_ or common ploughing of the portion of the waste agreed upon for each year’s corn crop. A lion barked at by a cur. [22] See the account given of these experiments in the _Revue philosophique,_ 1887, Vol. Roberts) that their statistics are “unique in range and numbers”. The disciples gather round Christ, like a flock of sheep listening to some divine shepherd. Pan, as the name imports, represents the universe, about whose origin there are two opinions, viz: that it either sprung from Mercury, that is, the divine word, according to the Scriptures and philosophical divines, or from the confused seeds of things. They transport us to the Parthenon, and old Greece. “The worship of Venus was in some sort stationary for the women, nomadic for the men, seeing that these could visit in turn the different fetes and temples of the goddess, profiting everywhere, in these sensual pilgrimages, by the advantages reserved to guests and to strangers.” Besides hospitality, the practice of which is, under ordinary circumstances, an almost sacred duty with uncultured peoples, there was another series of ideas essay disappointment life on in associated with the system of sacred prostitution. If it be objected, that this doth in a sort authorize usury, which before was in some places but permissive; the answer is, that it is better to mitigate usury by declaration, than to suffer it to rage by connivance.[444] XLII.—OF YOUTH AND AGE. My guide who was enthusiastic on the subject of Venetian art, would not allow any falling-off in these latest efforts of his mighty pencil, but represented him as prematurely cut off in the height of his career. _The Journal of an Author_ began to appear in 1873, that is on Dostoevsky’s return from abroad, and therefore coincides with what his biographers call ‘the highest period of his life.’ Dostoevsky was then the happy father of a family, a man of secure position, a famous writer, the author of a whole series of novels known to all: _The House of the Dead, The Idiot, The Possessed._ He has everything which can be required _from_ life, or, more truly, he has taken everything which can be taken from life. To ignore dramatic poetry altogether would have given rise to inconvenient curiosity. If the letters were written down one after another as they occurred, it would commonly be expected that they would be found to make mere nonsense, and would never arrange themselves into the words of any language known to men. §13), that it was in the case of the latter only that strict scientific inferences could be made. There was nothing of the noble _disinvoltura_ of his Lordship’s manner, the grand _contour_ of his features, the profundity of design hid under an appearance of indifference, the traces of the Irish patriot or the English statesman. Where only a few years separate the dates of composition and publication the mistake is easily made and not always easily detected. Morgan says, in relation to the Iroquois _phratry_, that “the phratry is a brotherhood, as the term imports, and a natural growth from the organisation into gentes. His disciples now, like the early Israelites, were leaving old ways and beginning a new life as wanderers on strange paths. I have noted it in my History of King Henry the Seventh of England, who depressed his nobility, whereupon it came to pass that his times were full of difficulties and troubles; for the nobility, though they continued loyal unto him, yet did they not cooperate with him in his business; so that, in effect, he was fain to do all things himself.
We might have imagined that, a bell-ringer being sometimes equivalent to a sacristan, and the sacristan being often responsible for the choir-books, the commission to print this Breviary was given by Palares only in the name of the chapter. Probably on the principles of association, a peculiar condition of mind is produced in reference to each single event. It is this. Being a man he is of course included in the class of vertebrates, also in that of animals, as well as in any higher such classes that there may be. Suppose that any one had to buy a very large number of yards of cloth at a constant price per yard: that he had to do this, say, five times a day for many days in succession. nearest of kin of the mother’s kindred and the three parentill? { (2) HEARDRED { { Hygelac’s only son. The exaggerated and unworkable morality of the gospels is probably an accurate representation of his teaching. It is quite clear that these _Wallerwente_ were _free_ inhabitants of the district, for their oaths were taken in evidence, which would not have been done had they been theows. : 860 F. Since then maudlin sentimentalists have so often informed them it was that now they believe it. The House of Commons first voted the subsidies demanded by the Crown, and next proceeded, as was usual in those times, to the redress of grievances. 39. No. If the blood of a priest is shed and reaches the ground, _donec colorium subfert_, the hand of the criminal is to be cut off, or half of VII. Well, would it destroy these masses to give the smallest veins or variation of colour or surface in the light side, or to shade the other with the most delicate and elaborate _chiaro-scuro_? _How_ they arise it does not belong to Logic but to Psychology to say. Sepius quidem iam impressa sed negligentia Correctorum in diuersis locis a uero originali minus iuste emendata. The problem bears some analogy to that of the chessmen, and so far as the motion of translation of the stick is concerned (if we begin with this) it presents no difficulty. The above would be one way of setting about the statement of the problem. Among peaceable Men, and those of his own Temper he comes of with Colours flying, and those are the Men he wou’d be valiant amongst only, cou’d he read Men’s hearts. Suppress them entirely, and the more or less intense state of terror will be succeeded by an idea of terror, the wholly intellectual representation of essay disappointment life on in a danger which it concerns us to avoid. The whole wergeld was to be paid by the owner if his horse, ox, or pig killed a man (s. Another _Discovery_ (p. It suggests that the _medume_ wergeld was a modified or middle one which, like the _medium_ werigeldum and _medium_ precium of the medi?val Latin of the Alamannic and other laws, had come to mean a _half_ one. Theoretically we are even convinced that in our time there are not and cannot be wizards and necromancers. The brave little division did not number men enough to make material for prolonged slaughter.” The carnage was for them indeed terrible, and their subsequent behaviour up to their defeat and rout at Five Forks, showed that they never forgot it. 9. One of the Holy Families here is the very acme of the _affettuoso_ and Della Cruscan style of painting. In it are discovered three pages in an unknown hand. Covigliaijo. 8. But, even if we leave out motion, any repetition of a well-marked essay disappointment life on in external phenomenon would suggest to consciousness the same mode of representation. With so much wit and sense in the world one wonders that there are any Tartuffes left in it; but for the last hundred and fifty years, it must be confessed, they have had but an uneasy life of it. From this it is easy to see what credit Jahveh would in time acquire, even among the entire people. Thus I have fairly stated the difference between us, and can find no such disparity in Nature or Education as they contend for; but we have a sort of ungenerous Adversaries, that deal more in Scandal than Argument, and when they can’t hurt us with their Weapons, endeavour to annoy us with stink Pots. Duo autem sunt genera: _alterum, domesticum quod in domibus nostris oberrat_, et catulos suos, ut auctor est Cicero, quotidie transfert, mutatque sedem, serpentes persequitur,” etc. May I respectfully ask him if it is not the fact that this pleasant picture of John Shakespeare rests upon the (alleged) statement of Sir John Mennes, and that Sir John Mennes was born on March 1st, 1599, whereas John Shakespeare died in September, 1601, so that the infant Mennes must, presumably, have been taken from his cradle in Kent, in his nurse’s arms, for the purpose of interviewing that “merry-cheeked old man,” of which interview he made a record from memory when he had learnt to write? For the same reason, we can conceive nothing more unlike the antique than the figures of Nicholas Poussin, except as to the preservation of the costume; and it is perhaps chiefly owing to the habit of studying his art at second-hand, or by means of scientific rules, that the great merits of that able painter, whose understanding and genius are unquestionable, are confined to his choice of subjects for his pictures, and his manner of telling the story. All the above rules may be interpreted subjectively, i.e. As this last point has been already fully treated in Chapter VI., any further allusion to it need not be made here. sub penis &c.

Even the tuft-footed dray-horses vanish with such reverberation as might follow Cinderella’s coach. Cannot you see that player William in this case reversed the usual procedure; that he intended to sign the last of the three pages of his Will first (“But _why_?”–“Oh, never mind _why_!”); that the poor man was _in extremis_ (true he lived another month after signing, and his Will witnesses that he was “in perfect health and memorie, God be praysed!” _Mais cela n’empeche pas_); and that he made a tremendous effort, and wrote the words “By me William,” in a fine distinct hand–“ornamental dot” and all!–and then collapsed utterly and could only make illiterate scrawls for his surname, and the other two signatures. We arrived at Foligno early in the evening, and as a memorable exception to the rest of our route, found there an inn equally clean and hospitable. 1230) enables us to add the nativus or ‘_kind-born bondman_.’ It is not needful to pursue the inquiry into the laws of the later kings of Scotland.

Gilbane Building Company Celebrates Groundbreaking of New Elementary School for New Bremen Local Schools
Officials from New Bremen Local School District, in Ohio, Gilbane Building Company, Garmann/Miller & Associates, Ohio Facilities Construction Commission and students recently came together to celebrate the official groundbreaking for the new elementary facility that will provide a modern learning environment for future generations of students in grades K-6.
Gilbane is serving as construction manager for the new 71,000 SF, state-of-the-art elementary facility, which will be connected to the existing high school. All classrooms will be grouped by grade level with innovative technology and extended learning center spaces outside of the traditional classrooms. The student dining area will be used as a multi-purpose space with a sports floor. The media center, computer lab, art and music rooms surround the interior courtyard, which will be used as a safe outdoor learning space.
“Gilbane is extremely excited to be a part of the New Bremen School project team; however, our team members are especially excited,” said Matt Neimeyer, Gilbane Building Company Project Manager. “We have three team members that live in the district or in a neighboring district and let me tell you, in construction, that does not happen often. Our team has a vested interest in the success of the project and will remain in the community for years to come and are excited to build in the community we live in! We look forward to getting this project started and continuing our engagement with the district and in the community.”
The project also includes additional renovations to the existing high school, parking lot repairs and abatement/demolition of the existing elementary school.

A Chat with Epicly Later’d’s Patrick O’Dell A good warm up before he releases the Ali Boulala episode this week
NXT / PRV
From What Youth Issue 12 Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse’s dreadlock coat
12.01.15 – TAGS: Dustin Dollin, jeff fribourg, What Youth Issue 12, Ali Boulala, Patrick O'Dell
Photos: Patrick O'Dell
Editor’s Note: Patrick O’Dell has taught us all a lot. His Epicly Later’d series for VICE is more or less a rad history book in video form of any and every influential skateboarder of our time. His nonchalant, unintrusive yet knowledgable manner of gathering information is just the perspective. He knows his shit and is a true skateboarder and artists himself — but isn’t one to throw that in your face. Mixing in archival footage and modern interview, each episode is better than the next, and the real element is always there. We recently featured Patrick and some of his photography in What Youth Issue 12 as well as the interview with Patrick you can read below in anticipation for the release this week (we hear) of his Ali Boulala episode. Which promises to be a gut wrenching and very necessary piece of the skate puzzle.
Patrick’s good friend and former assistant Jeff Fribourg caught up with him for us below, where you’ll also find some of Patrick’s personal photography.
Be sure to catch up on all the Epicly Later’d vids here. And keep an eye out this week for the episode on Ali Boulala.
Jeff Fribourg: So you’re over at Camp Woodward right now teaching classes?
Patrick O’Dell: Yeah, they do digital media so I talk to some of the campers who came here to do photography and video. I attempt to give them advice, but they end up knowing more than I do anyway.
[Laughs]. I feel like that all the time. Like, you go to show someone something and it’s like they know more than you already. Some people get so caught up in what gear they use that it prohibits them from actually making things.
You don’t worry about it too much, you just get it done. Well, we were talking with the class and it’s just good to play to your own strengths and work with people who have other strengths. You need all of the pieces to make a good final product — but you gotta realize where your own blindspots are. So I’m a little better at thinking about the story and sometimes I just kinda forget to focus on how good the shots look. So it’s good to have somebody there to operate a camera. Like when you were the cameraman you would handle the angle and I would think about the story.
Yeah, that’s really important. How’s the Ali Boulala episode looking?
I think this episode is gonna look better than any other episode. Because Kai was basically the director of photography and then I had Randy Randall [of No Age] score some music for it. So it’s gonna have a little higher production value than normal and it may even look like a different show.
Do you think the rest of the shows will be like that from now on?
Maybe, but when we were there shooting with Ali he told me his favorite skater has always been Mike Carroll. His whole wall was Mike Carroll. So I told him I did an episode on him and he was like, “You did one? Let’s watch it!” So he put it up on his flat-screen TV and we watched it and it was so crappy. It sucked! And I got sad at myself. My memory of it was as such a good episode, but the camera angles were shitty and everything was shaky and it was boring and I was like, “Oh God!” I thought that I was so much better than I actually am. I almost had an anxiety attack — like, my show sucks! But it was just because it’s slowly progressed over time and gotten better and better with each episode.
That’s funny. What else have you been working on? You doing any new music videos?
Not right now. I don’t have any music stuff coming out, but the next episode I have is Chima Ferguson. Then the episode after that is another Spanky episode. Then the episode after that is Ali Boulala. Then I met Harmony Korine and he really wants to do an episode. He keeps bringing it up, like, “Can we do that episode?” [Laughs]. So there might be a Harmony Korine episode.
How is the Spanky episode looking?
I haven’t edited it, but it was a good interview. Usually the episode would be like, somebody had a good part and you just talk about how good they were back in the day. I think now I don’t want to do episodes like that anymore. I want to tell stories that have a human interest elements to them that go beyond the greatest hits of some skate tricks.
Watch the Spanky Episode here.
So Spanky, he’s one of the smartest people. When I was watching the raw interview I was almost like, “I could put this whole interview up as an hourlong YouTube video and people would watch the whole thing because he’s so interesting. His perspective and outlook on skating is so realistic. I’m really excited for it to come out.
So what about Harmony Korine? You just did an interview with him for another magazine, right?
Yeah, for Purple. We had been talking, and he turned it into what episodes I should do. And I was like, “I should do one on you,” and he was like, “Yeah, that would be awesome!”
I realize with Kids and all that stuff that he was in skating, but I didn’t realize how much he actually knew and how much he was a part of it.
Yeah, that’s why I was stoked to do that interview. I was surprised. He was like an encyclopedia of that era of skating. He sent me all these skate photos of himself and he was pretty good. He said he was sponsored by Alien Workshop, but I think he was more like what we would consider “flow.”
[Laughs] So how long were you in Europe for?
That Ali Boulala trip was originally supposed to be 10 days, but I added extra days because I wanted to hang out with Ali. I really like him. I was like, “I just want a vacation to hang out with Ali and get an episode out of it.”
You have that pretty amazing picture of Ali from back in the day. He’s obviously way different now, right? Like there’s that one of him in the bathroom with a knife or something.
I don’t remember that specific one, but he was doing drugs, like codeine for five hours, and telling funny stories and it was almost like I had a man crush on him. I was like, I’m gonna shoot a hundred thousand photos of this kid because he’s so hilarious and cool-looking in photos.
He’s different now. He’s changed from the accident, you know? Like there’s an air of sadness about everything that happened. I think that floats over his head every second of every day. After the accident he did a lot of drugs and drinking and stuff for a couple years once he got out of jail. You have to deal with that burden of how he killed his friend. Even though drinking caused it — or was part of the problem. It’s like, how do you get sober knowing you killed somebody, but now he’s been sober for two years. He’s doing really well and doing his best to make peace with everything that happened. He’s still hilarious, fun to be around and such a cool dude, but you can also tell he’s got bad short-term memory. Like, he won’t remember what we did the day before or he won’t remember what he’s already told you.
Yeah man. He almost died. But it seems subtle because he’s still so cool and funny and has good jokes. But maybe it’s because the documentary we’re filming is a real retrospective of everything that happened and it was a cloud that hangs over him, you know? But it was cool because when we were doing the episode his honesty was really impressive.
So you just moved to Philly. It’s so funny, like, every day someone says, “You seen Patrick lately?” and I’m just like, “Patrick lives in Philly!”
It’s all right, I like LA better. It’s just a tough town — like, the opposite of LA. There’s not a lot of peace and love. You know I moved around my whole life with my family and then on my own.
It’s always really uncomfortable, but I just think it’s rewarding, like I move to some place where I don’t have any friends and I don’t know what the hell I’m doing, then you find those things and it’s rewarding.
I’m really bad at this interview thing but I think there’s probably something in here they can use. [Laughs]
It’s OK! I don’t do interviews that much, and theres a part of me that can’t be dishonest because I would really like to present myself as this cool and interesting person, but I’m actually not. Like, you know how people can go into character or persona and they do it well? I don’t have one of those. I’m just like, “Whatever, I don’t know, I’m at skate camp.”
Skate camp. That’s awesome.
I was up on the mega ramp and there were all these toddlers up there with their pads on and they started airing over the mega ramp and doing gigantic backside airs on the huge quarter-pipe on the other side — like, the 15-foot quarter.
That’s nuts…
And it didn’t make any sense because when I was growing up I would see the vert guys and I would be like, “Look at these old guys, skating all old.” All I wanted to do was pressure flips on flat ground, but now it’s flipped because the older skaters are all skating street, trying crooked grinds, and these little children are doing giant 360 early grabs over this mega ramp.
I don’t even know if I could roll down that thing. I’m so afraid of shit like that. It’s like my worst nightmare.
You know what they have here, they actually have a handrail into foam. like you could try to lip slide a handrail and jump off into the foam.
[Laughs] That’s awesome! Imagine when you’re a little kid and you’re like, “I really wanna hit that handrail, but in my head it was like “Hall of Meat” — like, that’s all I could think about when I rolled up to something, but if it had a foam pit below it that would be sweet!
Yeah, but there was no part of me that wanted to try. Like, why not just try it on real street? Nutting on the rail is what I’m scared of, not the landing. So I don’t understand what the foam is for. It’s just taking away the chance of you actually landing it.
They should just get a foam rail.
Some of that stuff is cheesy but it’s still kinda sweet being here. There’s so many skaters and everyone’s having fun. I feel like it kind of goes back to the Harmony Korine interview where he’s talking about how angry he was, and I think I was angry because skateboard culture was so difficult back then. When I was skating it was so hostile. The ‘90s were so hostile, it was like there was a skate uniform and everyone was a dick.
I’m down for whatever as long as people are having fun.
It’s hard when the kids are good, but it made me wanna come here longer, like, “Man, I should just train and get good at skating again.” But I’m too busy working on stuff so I don’t usually have time to just try tricks.
When I was a kid I was always like, “Why did that guy stop skating?! I don’t get it! He was so good!” But then it’s like once you get a job and a girlfriend you’re just like,“Yeah.”
It’s pretty tough because whenever we’re around something fun to skate I’ll skate constantly. It’s tough when you have a career though, but I always skate, I never quit. It’s always weird when people make that declaration like, “I quit skating!” It’s like, “Why don’t you just skate less?” It’s just such a weird declaration, the declaration of quitting.
[Laughing] OK, I gotta run to The Echo, but thanks for the phone call.
Cool, give me a call later and email me any new music if you have albums coming out or anything.
Yeah. I’ll send you some of the songs I’ve been recording from this new band I’m in called Number.
I unfollowed Froth. Those guys are haters, I’m over it. Nah, I like them, I’m fucking around.

Famous for its sunny climate, cultural heritage, stunning cuisine and incredible nightlife, Barcelona is an unmissable destination that’s popular among travellers from across the world! Looking to avoid the tourist traps during your next trip to the Catalonian capital? Check out our guide to Barcelona’s 10 most unusual places to visit!
1. Torre Bellesguard: so you think you’re a Gaudí expert?
What would Barcelona be without Gaudi? The world-renowned Catalan architect has left his mark in plenty of well-known places around the city, from Parc Güell and the Sagrada Familia to Casa Batllo. If you’re looking for somewhere off the beaten track, however, we’d recommend a visit to a little-known manor house called Torre Bellesguard. Built at the beginning of the 20th century for the Figueras family, this house combines art nouveau and traditional gothic features, showing off Gaudí’s style to perfection.
Torre Bellesguard - Calle Bellesguard nº 20 - Barcelona
2. Goleta Karya, for stunning Mediterranean views of Barcelona
A boat trip is a great way to take in the landscapes and monuments which make Barcelona so unique, such as the Collserola mountain range and the Four Columns of Montjuïc, as well as its beaches, from Barceloneta to Sant Sebastià and more. We recommend travelling on board a traditional Turkish schooner - an incredible experience, particularly when the sun sets!
Goleta Karya Barcelona. Departures from: Moll d’Espanya, 7. Port Vell (opposite the Maremagnum shopping centre)
3. El Tomás de Sarrià, for the best papas bravas in Barcelona!
You’re bound to be tempted by tapas in Barcelona, but there’s another culinary speciality you won’t want to miss: papas bravas! Even the most discerning of foodies will fall for this delicious dish, made from cubed potatoes fried in oil and garlic and served with spicy tomato sauce. Get your gastronomic journey underway with a visit to El Tomás de Sarrià: its papas bravas are considered to be the best in town.
El Tomás de Sarrià - Carrer Major de Sarrià, 49 - Barcelona
4. Ancient Barcelona: experience life as a Roman senator
If you’ve already seen Barcelona’s contemporary Torre Glòries and visited Gaudí’s buildings all over the city, it’s time to discover the city’s origins! Surprisingly few people know that Barcelona’s ancient ruins, dating from to the first few centuries AD, are on display at the Barcelona City History Museum. Head down to the basement to learn about Roman Barcelona – and don’t forget to get a glimpse of the ancient city wall! (Toga not required.)
Barcelona City History Museum - Plaça del Rei, s/n - Barcelona
5. Barcelona by night at the Antic Theatre
Night owls and fans of underground venues will love the Antic Theatre, a multi-faceted venue which is both a bar and a cultural centre. Leave the narrow street behind and push open the door to view its beautiful terrace. With its bohemian, creative feel, you won’t be able to resist!
Antic Theatre - Carrer de Verdaguer i Callís, 12 - Barcelona
6. Cocktails at El Bosc de les Fades, for an otherworldly evening
Stroll down La Rambla and make your way to the passatge de la Banca to the bar El Bosc de les Fades. Step inside, and you’ll find yourself unexpectedly transported to a fairy-tale world! With its incredible décor (part magical cave, part enchanted forest) and unique atmosphere, it’s an unmissable destination in our top 10 unusual places to visit in Barcelona.
El Bosc de les Fades - Passatge de la Banca 5 - Barcelona
7. The delightful Mediterranean village of Montgat
We’d be hard pressed to find a traveller who doesn’t love soaking up the sun in Barcelona, especially as the city’s so close to the Mediterranean - impossible to resist the urge to take a dip! That said, Barcelona’s beaches are often extremely crowded and can become dirty during the height of the tourist season. The solution? A day trip to Montgat, a beautiful village just 20 minutes away by train. Enjoy the tranquillity of the beautiful blue sea in true peace and quiet!
Take the train from Plaça Catalunya towards Montgat.
8. Multi-coloured magic at the Fountain of Montjuïc
Built in 1929 for the Barcelona International Exposition, the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc remains a sight to behold almost a century later. The fountain’s displays of light and water create a magical glow in Montjuïc as night falls - an incredibly romantic spot!
The Magic Fountain of Montjuïc - Plaça de Carles Buïgas, 1 - Barcelona
9. From Barcelona to Arizona in the Cactus Park
Barcelona has plenty of parks and gardens, but Mossen Costs i Llobera Garden is undoubtedly one of the most unusual. On the hill of Montjuïc, this garden is home to a unique collection of exotic plants from mountains, deserts and tropical jungles across the world. If you’re a fan of the great outdoors, this is the place for you, but be warned: it’s very steep! We’d recommend taking a bottle of water with you, or you might just feel as though you really are lost in the desert…
Mossen Costs i Llobera Garden - Ctra Miramar, 38 - Barcelona
10. Searching for Eros in the Labyrinth Park of Horta
Barcelona’s oldest park is a well-kept secret in the Horta neighbourhood. This park and museum are made up of two gardens, one with a neo-classic style and the other with a more romantic fee, but the park is best known for its incredible cypress maze. An impressive statue of Eros, the god of love, is hidden in the middle of the maze - a reward for the brave and intrepid few who get that far.
Labyrinth Park of Horta - Passeig dels Castanyers, 1 - Barcelona
We’re coming to the end of our guide to top ten unusual places to visit in Barcelona but every trip to the city should include a visit to one of the Catalonian capital’s must-see monuments!
Enjoy the view at the Sagrada Familia
With its traditional gothic towers, its contemporary stained glass and its art nouveau vault, Gaudí’s unfinished cathedral has to feature on our top 10 unusual places to visit in Barcelona. Even though it’s become a symbol of the city and a must-see for visitors, don’t visit without taking a moment to appreciate the universal appeal of this architectural gem.

Pakistan: Journalism under fire
As Hamid Mir recovers after being shot by unknown gunmen, we examine the wider backdrop of media killings in Pakistan.
Listening Post 27 Apr 2014 14:45 GMT Arts & Culture, US & Canada, Pakistan, Syria's Civil War, Ukraine
Last year, the Listening Post featured a day in the life of Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir. We followed him around to get an insight on the risks faced by media workers in the country. Today, he is recovering in a Karachi hospital after being shot multiple times by unknown attackers.
Mir had faced threats to his life before. In 2012 a bomb was found - undetonated - attached to the bottom of his car.
It was the Pakistani Taliban that claimed responsibility for putting it there, saying it was in response to his coverage of their attack on the now iconic young rights campaigner, Malala Yousafzai. But this time round, Mir and his employer, Geo TV, have pointed the finger not at the Taliban but at Pakistan's powerful intelligence service, the ISI.
While Mir has escaped with his life, the attack comes against a backdrop of media killings that make Pakistan one of the most dangerous countries in the world to be a journalist. Guiding us through this complex and treacherous landscape are: Rana Jawad, Geo TV Islamabad's bureau chief; Mubashir Luqman, a presenter for ARY News; Raza Rumi, a columnist for Pakistan's Express Tribune; and Rabia Mehmood, a freelance journalist.
In other media news this week: Journalists are kidnapped and outlets attacked in the continuing fallout from Ukraine's political crisis; kidnapped journalists are released after months of captivity in Syria; and, in the wake of revelations by the whistleblower Edward Snowden, US director of intelligence, James Clapper, issues a directive making it a sackable offence for intelligence workers to have any unauthorised contact with the media.
In this week's feature, we explore the old adage that the "pen is mightier than the sword" by paying a visit to two men who wield some of the sharpest quills around. British political cartoonists Steve Bell and Gerald Scarfe have been delivering inky attacks against those in power for decades. But as the Listening Post's Flo Phillips reports, elsewhere, cartoonists are not so free to wield their brushes against hypocrisy.
And closing our show is a tribute to a different kind of visual genius. The Editor is an animation that uncovers the artistry of the picture editor - the magic-makers who bring the news to life on your TV screens.

Why use Haskell?
Writing large software systems that work is difficult and expensive. Maintaining those systems is even more difficult and expensive. Functional programming languages, such as Haskell, can make it easier and cheaper. For example, a new user who wrote a small relational DBMS in Haskell had this to say:
WOW! I basically wrote this without testing just thinking about my program in terms of transformations between types. I wrote the test/example code and had almost no implementation errors in the code! The compiler/type-system is really really good at preventing you from making coding mistakes! I've never in my life had a block of code this big work on the first try. I am WAY impressed.
Even if you are not in a position to use Haskell in your programming projects, learning Haskell can make you a better programmer in any language.
I learned Haskell a couple of years ago, having previously programmed in Python and (many) other languages. Recently, I've been using Python for a project (the choice being determined by both technical and non-technical issues), and find my Python programming style is now heavily influenced (for the better, I hope ;-) by my Haskell programming experience.
Graham Klyne
Haskell offers you:
Substantially increased programmer productivity (Ericsson measured an improvement factor of between 9 and 25 using Erlang, a functional programming language similar to Haskell, in one set of experiments on telephony software).
Shorter, clearer, and more maintainable code.
Fewer errors, higher reliability.
A smaller "semantic gap" between the programmer and the language.
Shorter lead times.
Haskell is a wide-spectrum language, suitable for a variety of applications. It is particularly suitable for programs which need to be highly modifiable and maintainable.
Much of a software product's life is spent in specification, design and maintenance, and not in programming. Functional languages are superb for writing specifications which can actually be executed (and hence tested and debugged). Such a specification then is the first prototype of the final program.
Functional programs are also relatively easy to maintain, because the code is shorter, clearer, and the rigorous control of side effects eliminates a huge class of unforeseen interactions.
What is functional programming?
C, Java, Pascal, Ada, and so on, are all imperative languages. They are "imperative" in the sense that they consist of a sequence of commands, which are executed strictly one after the other. Haskell is a functional language. A functional program is a single expression, which is executed by evaluating the expression.
Anyone who has used a spreadsheet has experience of functional programming. In a spreadsheet, one specifies the value of each cell in terms of the values of other cells. The focus is on what is to be computed, not how it should be computed. For example:
we do not specify the order in which the cells should be calculated - instead we take it for granted that the spreadsheet will compute cells in an order which respects their dependencies.
we do not tell the spreadsheet how to allocate its memory - rather, we expect it to present us with an apparently infinite plane of cells, and to allocate memory only to those cells which are actually in use.
for the most part, we specify the value of a cell by an expression (whose parts can be evaluated in any order), rather than by a sequence of commands which computes its value.
An interesting consequence of the spreadsheet's unspecified order of re-calculation is that the notion of assignment is not very useful. After all, if you don't know exactly when an assignment will happen, you can't make much use of it! This contrasts strongly with programs in conventional languages like C, which consist essentially of a carefully-specified sequence of assignments, or Java, in which the ordering of method calls is crucial to the meaning of a program.
This focus on the high-level "what" rather than the low-level "how" is a distinguishing characteristic of functional programming languages.
Another well-known nearly-functional language is the standard database query language SQL. An SQL query is an expression involving projections, selections, joins and so forth. The query says what relation should be computed, without saying how it should be computed. Indeed, the query can be evaluated in any convenient order. SQL implementations often perform extensive query optimization which (among other things) figures out the best order in which to evaluate the expression.
What's good about functional programming?
Spreadsheets and SQL are both fairly specialized languages. Functional programming languages take the same ideas and move them into the realm of general-purpose programming. To get an idea of what a functional program is like, and the expressiveness of functional languages, look at the following quicksort programs. They both sort a sequence of numbers into ascending order using a standard method called "quicksort". The first program is written in Haskell and the second in C.
Whereas the C program describes the particular steps the machine must make to perform a sort -- with most code dealing with the low-level details of data manipulation -- the Haskell program encodes the sorting algorithm at a much higher level, with improved brevity and clarity as a result.
Quicksort in Haskell
qsort [] = []
qsort (x:xs) = qsort (filter (< x) xs) ++ [x] ++ qsort (filter (>= x) xs)
Quicksort in C
// To sort array a[] of size n: qsort(a,0,n-1)
void qsort(int a[], int lo, int hi) {
int h, l, p, t;
if (lo < hi) {
l = lo;
h = hi;
p = a[hi];
while ((l < h) && (a[l] <= p))
l = l+1;
while ((h > l) && (a[h] >= p))
h = h-1;
if (l < h) {
t = a[l];
a[l] = a[h];
a[h] = t;
} while (l < h);
a[hi] = a[l];
a[l] = p;
qsort( a, lo, l-1 );
qsort( a, l+1, hi );
A semi-direct translation of the C is here.
Let's examine some of the benefits of Haskell and functional programming. A more detailed case for functional programming can be found in
Why Functional Programming Matters by John Hughes, The Computer Journal, Vol. 32, No. 2, 1989, pp. 98 - 107. Also in: David A. Turner (ed.): Research Topics in Functional Programming, Addison-Wesley, 1990, pp. 17 - 42.
A slightly less formal essay inspired by the paper above can be found in
Why Haskell Matters originally by Sebastian Sylvan
Brevity
Functional programs tend to be much more concise than their imperative counterparts. Quicksort is a rather extreme case, but in general functional programs are much shorter (by a factor of two to ten).
Ease of understanding
Functional programs are often easier to understand. You should be able to understand the program without any previous knowledge of either Haskell or quicksort. The same certainly cannot be said of the C program. It takes quite a while to understand, and even when you do understand it, it is extremely easy to make a small slip and end up with an incorrect program. Here is a detailed explanation of the Haskell quicksort:
The first line reads: "When you sort an empty list ([]), the result is another empty list". The second line reads: "To sort a list whose first element is named x and the rest of which is named xs, sort the elements of xs that are less than x, sort the elements of xs that are greater than or equal to x, and concatenate (++) the results, with x sandwiched in the middle."
No core dumps
Most functional languages, and Haskell in particular, are strongly typed, eliminating a huge class of easy-to-make errors at compile time. In particular, strong typing means no core dumps! There is simply no possibility of treating an integer as a pointer, or following a null pointer.
Code re-use
Of course, strong typing is available in many imperative languages, such as Ada or Pascal. However, Haskell's type system is much less restrictive than, say, Pascal's, because it uses polymorphism.
For example, the qsort program given in Figure 1 will not only sort lists of integers, but also lists of floating point numbers, lists of characters, lists of lists; indeed, it will sort lists of anything for which it is meaningful to have "less-than" and "greater-than" operations. In contrast, the C version can only sort an array of integers, and nothing else.
Polymorphism enhances re-usability.
Strong glue
"Non-strict" functional languages, such as Haskell, have another powerful feature: they only evaluate as much of the program as is required to get the answer - this is called lazy evaluation. This feature is rather like Unix pipes. For example, the Unix command
grep printf Foo.c | wc
counts the number of lines in the file Foo.c that include the string printf. The command
grep printf Foo.c
produces all lines which contain the string "printf", while the "wc" command counts them. The pipe, written "|", takes the output from the first command and delivers it to the second. The two commands execute together, so that the output of the first is consumed more-or-less immediately by the second. In this way, no large intermediate files need be produced. You can think of wc "demanding" lines from the grep.
If the second command only needs some of the output of the first, then execution of the first command might never need to be completed. For example,
grep printf Foo.c | head 5
just prints the first 5 lines which contain "printf". There is no need to modify the grep command to take account of the fact that its execution might be abandoned.
Non-strict languages provide exactly this kind of demand-driven evaluation. Data structures are evaluated just enough to deliver the answer, and parts of them may not be evaluated at all. As in the case of Unix commands, this provides powerful "glue" with which to compose existing programs together. What this means is that it is possible to re-use programs, or pieces of programs, much more often than can be done in an imperative setting. Lazy evaluation allows us to write more modular programs.
Powerful abstractions
In general, functional languages offer powerful new ways to encapsulate abstractions. An abstraction allows you to define an object whose internal workings are hidden; a C procedure, for example, is an abstraction. Abstractions are the key to building modular, maintainable programs, so much so that a good question to ask of any new language is "what mechanisms for abstraction does it provide?".
One powerful abstraction mechanism available in functional languages is the higher order function. In Haskell a function is a first-class citizen: it can freely be passed to other functions, returned as the result of a function, stored in a data structure, and so on. It turns out that the judicious use of higher order functions can substantially improve the structure and modularity of many programs.
Built-in memory management
Very many sophisticated programs need to allocate dynamic memory from a heap. In C this is done with a call to malloc, followed by code to initialize the store just allocated. The programmer is responsible for returning the store to the free pool when it isn't needed any more, a notorious source of "dangling-pointer" errors. To make matters worse, malloc is fairly expensive performance-wise, so programmers often malloc a single large chunk of store, and then allocate "by hand" out of this.
Every functional language relieves the programmer of this storage management burden. Store is allocated and initialized implicitly, and recovered automatically by the garbage collector. The technology of storage allocation and garbage collection is now well developed, and the performance costs are rather slight.
When C is better
It isn't all roses, of course. The C quicksort uses an extremely ingenious technique, invented by Hoare, whereby it sorts the array in place; that is, without using any extra storage. As a result, it runs quickly, and in a small amount of memory. In contrast, the Haskell program allocates quite a lot of extra memory behind the scenes, and runs rather slower than the C program.
In effect, the C quicksort does some very ingenious storage management, trading this algorithmic complexity for a reduction in run-time storage management costs.
In applications where performance is required at any cost, or when the goal is detailed tuning of a low-level algorithm, an imperative language like C would probably be a better choice than Haskell, exactly because it provides more intimate control over the exact way in which the computation is carried out.
Functional vs imperative
But few programs require performance at any cost! After all, we all stopped writing assembly-language programs, except perhaps for key inner loops, long ago. The benefits of having a more supportive programming model (an arbitrary number of named, local variables instead of a fixed number of registers, for example) far outweigh the modest run-time costs.
Similarly, we willingly accept the costs of a virtual memory paging system, in exchange for the more supportive programming model of an infinite virtual address space. The days of explicit memory overlays are over.
Functional languages take another large step towards a higher-level programing model. Programs are easier to design, write and maintain, but the language offers the programmer less control over the machine. For most programs the result is perfectly acceptable.
What is Haskell?
Haskell is a modern, standard, non-strict, purely-functional programming language. It provides all the features sketched above, including polymorphic typing, lazy evaluation and higher-order functions. It also has an innovative type system which supports a systematic form of overloading and a module system.
It is specifically designed to handle a wide range of applications, from numerical through to symbolic. To this end, Haskell has an expressive syntax, and a rich variety of built-in data types, including arbitrary-precision integers and rationals, as well as the more conventional integer, floating-point and boolean types.
There are a number of compilers and interpreters available. All are free. First-time users may want to start with Hugs, a small, portable Haskell interpreter.

Does anyone use functional programming?
Functional programming languages are used in substantial applications. For example:
Software AG, a major German software company, market an expert system (Natural Expert) which is programmed in a functional language. Their users find it easy to develop their applications in this language, through which they gain access to an underlying database system. It all runs on an IBM mainframe.
Ericsson have developed a new functional language, Erlang, to use in their future telephony applications. They have already written 130k-line Erlang applications, and find them very much shorter and faster to develop.
Amoco ran an experiment in which they re-coded in Miranda, a lazy functional language, a substantial fraction of their main oil-reservoir simulation code, a critical application. The resulting program was vastly shorter, and its production revealed a number of errors in the existing software. Amoco subsequently transcribed the functional program into C++ with encouraging results.
A researcher at the MITRE corporation is using Haskell to prototype his digital signal-processing applications.
Researchers at Durham University used Miranda, and later Haskell, in a seven-year project to build LOLITA, a 30,000-line program for natural-language understanding.
Query is the query language of the O2 object-oriented database system. O2Query is probably the most sophisticated commercially-available object-oriented database query language and it is a functional language.
ICAD Inc market a CAD system for mechanical and aeronautical engineers. The language in which the engineers describe their design is functional, and it uses lazy evaluation extensively to avoid recomputing parts of the design which are not currently visible on the screen. This results in substantial performance improvements.
An incestuous example: the Glasgow Haskell compiler is written in Haskell: a 100,000-line application.
Pugs, the leading perl6 implementation is written in Haskell
As is Darcs, a cutting edge distributed revision control system
Some other examples of Haskell in practice.
Clifford Beshers, of Linspire Inc., describes their experience with Haskell, and functional programming:
Linspire, Inc. has used functional programming since its inception in 2001, beginning with extensive use of O'Caml, with a steady shift to Haskell as its implementations and libraries have matured. Hardware detection, software packaging and CGI web page generation are all areas where we have used functional programming extensively.
Haskell's feature set lets us replace much of our use of little languages (e.g., bash or awk) and two-level languages (C or C++ bound to an interpreted language), allowing for faster development, better code sharing and ultimately faster implementations. Above all, we value static type checking for minimizing runtime errors in applications that run in unknown environments and for wrapping legacy programs in strongly typed functions to ensure that we pass valid arguments.
Other frequently-asked questions
Is functional programming hard to learn?
Functional programming does require a change in perspective, which some programmers find hard. But Ericsson's experience in training programmers in Erlang is that most find the transition easy - provided they take the training need seriously rather than assuming that they can "pick it up on the day".
Aren't functional programs very slow?
They used to be, perhaps 20 years ago. But the compilers
have long since caught up. Haskell programs run fast for all but the most performance-demanding applications. At the time of writing, Haskell compiled via GHC is in 2nd place (behind C) in the Great Language Shootout, with other functional languages also ranked highly.
I already have a large application in C or C++.
Also worded as: Can I benefit from functional programming without rewriting my whole system?
Haskell has been successfully integrated into existing applications in a number of ways. HaskellDirect is an IDL (Interface Description Language) based tool that allows Haskell programs to work with software components. Low level C/C++ interfaces can be generated with Green Card or C->Haskell, allowing tight integration between Haskell and C. These tools have been used to build a large number of successful, mixed language systems.
What libraries does Haskell support?
Many software libraries have been developed for Haskell. See the list of Haskell libraries for a list of much of what is available.
What other software tools for Haskell are there?
Glasgow Haskell comes with a profiler which allows you to find which parts of your program are consuming most time and space. Chalmers Haskell has a space-profiling tool, and a quasi-parallel simulator which allows you to experiment with running your program in parallel. Hugs also has some similar tools. For a complete list, check the tools page.
Can I get a support contract or a help-line?
It used to be the case that if you wanted help, you had to persuade a Haskell research group that your problem was interesting enough or important enough that they should spend time helping you for free.
Whilst that is still an option, there is now a directory of Haskell Consultants who provide:
Support for compilers, tools and libraries.
Help with improving code quality (time, space, robustness, maintainability, etc.) using code reviews and tools.
Help with using libraries, tools and advanced Haskell features such as type system extensions, exception handling, the foreign function interface, test harnesses, and concurrency.
Library and application development.
Staff training.
These companies and individuals tend to work closely with those developing Haskell (indeed, they have usually made major contributions to Haskell themselves).
How can I learn Haskell?
The easiest way to learn Haskell is with a textbook. There are a lot of online tutorials, but you'll have a much easier time to learn the basics from a book. After all, Haskell is very different from traditional mainstream languages, it's like learning programming anew.

Facebook’s Cryptocurrency Might Work Like Loyalty Points
Web Monkey on May 4, 2019
If Facebook’s pivot from town square to private living room wasn’t laden with enough irony, here’s a new twist: Big business, it appears, has been invited to join us by the fireplace.
Gregory Barber covers cryptocurrency, blockchain, and artificial intelligence for WIRED.
On Thursday, The Wall Street Journal reported new potential details about Facebook’s long-awaited cryptocurrency plans. The company is reportedly seeking dozens of business partners, including online merchants and financial firms, in an effort to extend the reach of its blockchain-based marketplace. Facebook’s would-be partners are being asked to pitch into an investment fund, valued at $1 billion or more, that would serve as backing for Facebook’s coin and mitigate the wild speculative swings that make cryptocurrencies like bitcoin hard to spend. The pitch, according to the Journal, involves offering merchants lower fees than credit cards.
Some were quick to note that this would reduce Facebook’s ability to make money from payments in the short term. But that may not matter much—if, in the end, Facebook’s crypto effort is really all about getting you to spend more time glued to Facebook.
Facebook appears to be already building out the plumbing to make its marketplace a reality. At its F8 developer conference this week, the word “blockchain” was notably absent. But even as Zuckerberg emphasized the company’s plan to reorganize your Facebook experience around intimate relationships, his update included plenty of ways money would be involved. “I believe that it should be as easy to send money to someone as it is to send a photo,” he said, alluding to “simple and secure payments” as a core feature of his privacy-forward vision. That apparently extends beyond the peer-to-peer payments available on Venmo and Facebook’s own Messenger app. In a series of keynotes, Facebook execs touted a litany of commerce-focused improvements: better checkout for Instagram’s digital mall, donation stickers, and a new tool for small business owners to list items on WhatsApp.
Indeed, WhatsApp appears to sit at the center of Facebook’s commerce efforts—at least to start. At F8, Facebook said WhatsApp Pay, currently on limited trial in India, would expand to additional, unnamed countries later this year. The platform isn’t blockchain-based (for now) and is designed for peer-to-peer payments. But with 80 percent of small businesses in India using WhatsApp to market their goods, some form of payments processing is a natural evolution. In December, Bloomberg reported that the first tests of the crypto coin may occur in India, initially as a way for workers to send money home from overseas.
An added twist from the Journal’s report is the possibility that the coin will be integrated into Facebook’s lucrative ads ecosystem. The scheme, reportedly still under debate within Facebook, would potentially work on both sides of the ads equation: Merchants could use the coins to pay for ads, and users would be rewarded in coins for viewing or interacting with them. That reflects a growing perception—seen recently in efforts like the Brave browser, which compensates users through a token for clicking on ads—that people should get paid for their attention, not simply help internet giants make money. For Facebook, it also presents a vision of how its ads and eyeballs-driven business could continue in the company’s supposedly privacy-first era. The idea is to keep Facebook’s coins—and therefore users—tightly enmeshed in the platform.
“I don’t believe they’re doing anything that isn’t in the service of increasing interactions on their platforms,” says Joshua Gans, a professor at the University of Toronto. Sending money to businesses presents a challenge, he notes. Compared with friends and family, businesses are more likely to dump their Facebook coins at the end of the month in favor of real money. Gans is skeptical that Facebook would pay users for viewing ads—an immensely tricky system to create—unless it involved something like a rebate for buying a product through a Facebook advertisement. On the merchant side, encouraging businesses to pay for ads and services on Facebook with the coin could be one way of staunching the flow of money out of the system.
As the Journal notes, Facebook’s foray into blockchain could look a bit like a loyalty-points system—tokens that can be earned through and spent on Facebook services, or cashed out elsewhere though partner merchants. That’s not without precedent among technology companies: Uber, for example, has Uber Cash, which rewards users for purchases both in and out of Uber with app-specific money. Gans notes offerings like the Apple Card hold a similar purpose: It’s a service that, for all the talk of disrupting the credit card industry, is mostly a shiny, heavy way to buy more of Apple’s apps and products.
A Facebook spokesperson reiterated an earlier comment: “Like many other companies, Facebook is exploring ways to leverage the power of blockchain technology. This new small team is exploring many different applications.”
Facebook still faces many challenges, from sorting out how it will oversee the system to assuaging the privacy concerns of users to determining how to funnel money in and out of its currency—a process that, for other cryptocurrencies, is typically handled by exchanges. It also has to contend with the realities of the global economic system, which runs on euros and yen as well as dollars. Even if it backs the currency with a basket of currencies, as reported, it “can’t be stable with every currency in the world,” says Gans. “That’s not how the world works.” Hence the need to enlist financial partners to smooth transactions in and out of Facebook’s system.
Bottom line: It’s very unclear how this will work in practice. “There are a lot of moving parts. Facebook doesn’t always do what we expect,” says Gans.

Rumors: VMWare planning Cloud Foundry spinoff led by Paul Maritz
By Vijay Nachimuthu, Dec, 03 2012,
By Dylan Tweney
VMWare parent company EMC is planning to carve off VMWare’s non-core businesses, including its popular Cloud Foundry platform-as-a-service, into a separate unit owned by EMC, according to multiple sources, including GigaOm and TechCrunch.
Paul Maritz, the former chief executive of VMWare, will head the new unit, the reports say.
The new unit will include Cloud Foundry, plus SpringSource, Gemstone, and EMC’s “big data” product, Greenplum, reports say. This would give EMC a more dedicated unit to compete with other cloud service providers, most notably the industry leaders, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. It would also allow VMWare to concentrate on its core business of server virtualization.
The rumors are an update to rumors reported in July, 2012, by GigaOm, which suggested that VMWare was about to spin off Cloud Foundry together with Greenplum and Project Rubicon, an infrastructure-as-a-service product. The new spinoff plans appear to be somewhat different, suggesting that EMC’s plans have evolved.
Maritz, a former top Microsoft executive, was the CEO of VMWare from 2008 until September 1, 2012, when former Intel executive Pat Gelsinger replaced him. Interestingly, Maritz announced his departure as CEO around the same time as the first set of rumors about a VMWare spinoff.
EMC is the majority owner of VMWare, holding 80 percent of the publicly-traded company. Separately, VMWare recently announced plans to repurchase up to $250 million of its stock.
VMWare chief technical officer Stephen Herrod spoke last week at VentureBeat’s CloudBeat 2012 conference (video), but refused to address the rumors at that time.

Editions: Third Fourth Fifth
The Publisher’s and Author’s Handbook by Arkady Milchin and Lyudmila Cheltsova, fourth edition, revised and enlarged
Task: to republish a reference book.
The fourth edition of The Publisher’s and Author’s Handbook is an almost exact copy of the third edition. An appendix on hyphenation according to the rules of orthography and technical typesetting was added.
The cover shows the major sections of the handbook and their page numbers
The Handbook by Milchin and Cheltsova is the reference book of choice of all editors and typesetters in the studio. Art directors and designers frequently turn to it for basic rules, while the studio technologists use it to write automatic typography scripts.
A true reference book has two basic objectives:
1) to justify the rational form of publishing elements and types of text, as well as their choice depending on the kind of edition, the nature of its content, target readership, etc. so that in the process of making a book or any other publication authors and publishers could better meet the needs and demands of its readers, facilitate the perception and apprehension of information from books and other publications.
2) to provide readers who create and publish books and other publications with a systematic reference material that can always be at hand during the work on the original editions, that can provide the solution for many editorial and technical problems, down to the very smallest, making it possible to rely on ready-made examples instead of searching how to design this or that element in the course of editorial processing of the original—and through this, reduce the time this work requires.
At the same time, it was not the authors’ intention to list the rules, guides and recommendations in the must-follow fashion. Instead, the aim was to justify them in such a way that they could be followed rationally and altered when necessary.
The Handbook is addressed to all authors and publishing workers—from those who lead the preparation of publications for publishing to those who solve the most minuscule issues.

Khedive's Sudan (1) Khartoum (4120. Pte. P. Towler. 2nd. L.F.)
The catalogue erroneously states the clasp is DoL.
P. Towler was wounded at Spion Kop on 24 January 1900 whilst serving with the 2nd Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers.
The Battle was little short of a massacre for the men of the Lancashire Fusiliers. As the fog lifted and Boer shells began to reign down upon the plateau commanded by British troops, Commandant Henrik Prinsloo, responding to Botha's call for reinforcements, led his 88-man strong Carolina Commando onto Aloe Knoll, 400 yards east of the British position. From there, Prinsloo's marksmen unleashed a deadly fire on the unsuspecting men of the Lancashire Fusiliers, who were on the extreme right flank. The 'Khakis' as the Boers called them, never knew what hit them - seventy were later found dead with bullet holes in the right sides of their heads.
Grimly, the British held on to a 400-yard-wide battlefield. The men in the ranks squirmed into every square inch that they could find in the rocky topsoil, but it did little good - Boer artillery shells dismembered entire files of soldiers as they lay whilst the sharpshooters dealt with those who dared raise their heads off the ground.
According to The Spion Kop Despatches, the Principal Medical Officer reported at 7.30 p.m. on 24 January that 150 wounded had been brought in, that every available stretcher of 4th, 10th and 11th Brigades had been sent, and 24 ambulances as well. The wounded were brought down to the foot of Spion Kop and transferred to ambulances, which made their way to the field hospital at Wright's Farm.
QSA to Towler verified on WO100/179p93. He was invalided 31 March 1900.

The Daily W, 08/23/2014: Sky steal one on the road while Sparks rue missed opportunity in Phoenix
Aug23 by richardbcohen
Chicago Sky 80 @ Atlanta Dream 77
Lineups: Atlanta stuck with the same starting five that’s been their regular group since midseason, but Chicago made some changes for the playoffs. Elena Delle Donne came in for her first start since returning from her Lyme disease flare-up, which sent Jessica Breland to the bench (after starting in all 32 of her regular season appearances this year). Courtney Vandersloot also started after appearing in just two games before the end of the regular season since returning from her knee injury. The presence of Angel McCoughtry at small forward for Atlanta would’ve made it difficult for Pokey Chatman to start both Delle Donne and Breland, because neither is particularly suited to guarding McCoughtry. That was Tamera Young’s job for most of the night.
Story of the Game: Chatman and Michael Cooper were battling with each other to find any possible edge throughout the game. Chicago dropped into a 2-3 zone on their second defensive possession, just to set the tone from early on and hopefully begin confusing the Dream. Both Vandersloot and Erika de Souza picked up two early fouls, which also led to more lineup complications, although Cooper took the risk of sending Erika back into the game late in the first quarter, and got away with it.
It was Atlanta who were in front for the majority of the first half, with the game largely being played at their prefered frantic pace. Even with McCoughtry and Sancho Lyttle missing a lot of makable shots, they led by as many as 12 points in the second quarter. They’d been helped by an injury to Chicago’s Jessica Breland, who fell heavily on her hands late in the opening period, and appeared to injure her shoulder, possibly dislocating it. She’d played less than three minutes, and never returned. That forced Delle Donne into playing more minutes than was probably intended, but the Sky had few other viable alternatives. They’ve got three backup posts on the bench that Chatman doesn’t want to use, making Young the de facto reserve power forward with Breland out – except that they were trying to match Young up with McCoughtry as often as possible. Atlanta went big early in the second quarter with McCoughtry at shooting guard, Lyttle at small forward and Aneika Henry joining de Souza in the post. Chicago looked unprepared for it and were lost for several possessions, with Epiphanny Prince forced to try to guard McCoughtry – which didn’t go well for the Sky.
But importantly, Chicago ended the first half on a strong note. After some shambolic offensive possessions, largely featuring either dreadful attempts at entry passes to Sylvia Fowles or Prince bricks from the perimeter, everything improved with Vandersloot back on the floor. Finally they had someone who knew where to look and how to make a pass, which led to consecutive buckets for Delle Donne. She added another ridiculous jumper, McCoughtry played some awful defense on the final possession of the half to leave Prince wide open to drill a three, and somehow Chicago were back within a point at the break.
There was a little less playing around with lineups in the second half, as Chatman in particular realised how few usable options she had. Delle Donne got a grand total of 1 minute and 36 seconds of rest in the third quarter, because Atlanta were so quick to recognise that the Sky had gone small with Vandersloot, Prince and Allie Quigley on the perimeter, and Young trying to survive at the 4. The Dream scored consecutive post buckets, and Delle Donne was back in at the next stoppage.
But neither team could take hold of the game in the third quarter, with Delle Donne and Vandersloot keeping Chicago’s offense afloat while Atlanta contrived enough points to stay even . The game was being played more at Chicago’s speed now, but it was still anyone’s to win.
Atlanta threw one more lineup quirk at the Sky in the fourth quarter. They started with McCoughtry sliding to power forward, therefore becoming the primary defender on Delle Donne. And even once Lyttle subbed back in, theoretically pushing McCoughtry back to small forward, Angel continued to stick on Delle Donne (with Lyttle taking Young instead). It actually worked very well to cool Delle Donne off and shut her down as part of the Sky offense in the fourth. McCoughtry was all over her, treading the thin line between constant fouling and smothering defense but getting away with it. Atlanta’s problem was everyone else on the floor for the Sky. Young burned Lyttle for a couple of baskets; Vandersloot hit from outside; Prince actually managed to convert on a drive after a horrible shooting night; and Fowles finally got involved in the offense. They’d struggled to find her throughout the game, but she battled her way inside for a few finishes and a tough reverse gave Chicago a five-point lead with under four minutes to play.
That was when McCoughtry started to put the Dream on her back. That tactic hadn’t gone so well for much of the night, but Atlanta were running flare screens for her, creating separation between her and Young, and she drilled three huge perimeter jump shots. With a couple of free throws in the middle of that run as well, a 9-2 run with all the Dream’s points scored by McCoughtry gave them the lead back with under two minutes to play.
But it was Chicago who’d make the final run of clutch plays, and Cooper who’d lose the last moves of the coaching chess match. Delle Donne had airballed a forced three when she stepped out to long distance searching for a shot, but on the Sky’s next possession Young drove past Lyttle and tied the game. Shoni Schimmel missed a pullup jumper at the other end, de Souza was blocked from behind by Delle Donne on the putback attempt, and the scramble that followed led to a jump ball when the officials couldn’t decide who touched it last. Cooper could’ve subbed out Schimmel at that stage, in the expectation that his team would be playing defense. But he left her on the floor, and when de Souza lost the jump ball to Fowles his rookie guard was left trying to cover Vandersloot. The Sky point guard eventually used a Fowles screen, Schimmel got desperately lost in traffic while trying to go under the pick, and Vandersloot drilled a wide open 17-footer for the lead.
Schimmel was at fault on the possession that followed as well, picking her dribble up too early and then forcing a pass towards Lyttle that was tipped and led to a scramble. The ball eventually worked its way back to McCoughtry, who forced up a deep three that wasn’t close, and that was just about it. Although Atlanta still had time to screw up once more. A couple of Dream fouls put Vandersloot at the free throw line, and she made the first before missing the second. Lyttle grabbed the rebound, and every Atlanta player and coach should’ve been screaming for a timeout while she was still in midair. Instead she landed, heaved the ball up from about 90 feet and inevitably missed by a mile, and that was it.
Key Players: Delle Donne led the scoring for Chicago, with all the other starters in double-digits as well. While she was smothered in the final period – and it’ll be interesting to see how early Atlanta go to McCoughtry as the defensive option on her in Game 2 – her shooting and finishing carried the Sky offense for much of the game. But the other player they missed for much of the second half of the season shouldn’t be ignored. Vandersloot was huge, bringing a calmness and precision to the Sky offense that was noticeably lacking whenever she was off the floor. You can understand why a coach might sometimes want Quigley (or Prince) on the ball as a more obvious scoring threat, but Vandersloot’s the only actual point guard among the bunch. And she shot well too, even before making the big jumper for the crucial basket at the end.
Atlanta won’t be happy with their defense, but they also missed too many shots that they’ve been converting for most of the season. Lyttle finished 3-15 from the field, and while McCoughtry stepped up in the fourth she was 8-22 over the entire game – which Chicago will happily settle for. The Dream aren’t out of this series – they can certainly win in Chicago – but they’ve made things tough for themselves. They did a good job of keeping Fowles quiet, but de Souza was also fairly ineffective on the other side of the interior matchup. Tiffany Hayes too was in the shadows for much of the game. They need other players to step up and balance out the offense so that it’s not all down to how McCoughtry converts.
Notes of Interest: If Breland’s out for a while – and her fall certainly looked like it could be serious – it’s a worrying problem for the Sky. Gennifer Brandon is an absolute last resort as a backup power forward, and Chatman has used Markeisha Gatling and Sasha Goodlett almost exclusively as centers all season long – i.e. backups to Fowles, and almost never alongside her. Young at the 4 worked okay at times during the regular season, but Atlanta have the size to dominate that matchup, or post up whoever it forces in at the 3 while she’s sliding over. And we don’t know how much play Delle Donne’s body is physically ready for, after playing limited minutes since returning from her illness. Unless Breland makes a very quick recovery, that could be an important edge for Atlanta in the upcoming game(s).
Los Angeles Sparks 72 @ Phoenix Mercury 75
Lineups: As anticipated for both teams. No surprises in the starting lineups, or in the limited use of the bench on either side. Essentially one reserve made any impact on the game all night.
Story of the Game: Phoenix made an ugly, messy start to the game, and it continued for much of the first half. LA managed to unsettle Brittney Griner in the post, bodying her up hard with Nneka Oogwamookey, occasionally Jantel Lavender, and later Sandrine Gruda. They sent double teams as well, with speed and aggression, and Griner panicked more than usual under the pressure and made some poor passes on top of the missed shot attempts. It was an impressive defensive effort from the Sparks against her throughout the game.
LA’s offense wasn’t exactly flowing smoothly, but they had enough success to lead for much of the first quarter and stick with Phoenix in the second. Candace Parker was trying to attack and help carry her team forward, with occasional success, and her teammates were chipping in where they could. The Sparks had a big edge on the glass, where Phoenix were typically terrible on the offensive boards (preferring to concentrate on getting back as quickly as possible to prevent transition chances for LA) and also gave up several second chance attempts. LA had visibly shaken the Mercury, and made a clash many expected to be a blowout into a tight contest.
In fact, if it weren’t for Diana Taurasi shooting the lights out, Phoenix’s offense would’ve barely produced anything in the first half. She went 5-5 from beyond the arc on realistic threes, only blotting her stat line in that category with a 70-foot heave at the buzzer. LA tried some zone, and she happily shot right over it. They tried man-to-man, and she’d use a simple screen and fire. She carried the Mercury to their barely-deserved one-point lead at halftime.
For a few minutes early in the third quarter, it looked like Phoenix were going to assert themselves as they had in the regular season, and take control. Griner scored inside for once, Candice Dupree drilled a mid-range jumper like she has all season, and LA looked like they’d run out of ideas for how to score. The Mercury pulled ahead by as many as ten points in the period. But it didn’t last. Griner picked up her fourth foul on an illegal screen and had to sub out, and her teammates seemed to respond with lethargy rather than increased effort to cover for her absence. LA started picking up points in transition that they hadn’t sniffed all night, and an 18-4 run across the end of the third and start of the fourth quarter took them into a four-point lead. Kristi Toliver had started it with a three, Parker, Lavender and Gruda kept it rolling, and suddenly the prospect of LA stealing Game 1 was very real.
Then Taurasi came back in to join Griner who’d returned moments earlier, and we had a grandstand finish on our hands. Taurasi drilled a three moments after stepping back on the floor. Alana Beard hit a pair of big perimeter jumpers, then made a nice feed to Lavender for a layup when she slipped a screen. Griner was still struggling badly under pressure whenever Phoenix went to her in the post, and other than letting Taurasi fire the Mercury looked unusually short of alternative ideas.
But LA started to make mistakes themselves down the stretch. Beard took a three, which is essentially beyond her range. Parker overthrew an attempted entry to Oogwamkay. Toliver tripped and handed the ball back to Phoenix. Meanwhile Penny Taylor hit a mid-range shot to cut the Mercury deficit to a point, and with under a minute to play Taurasi drew a foul on Ogawhamookeekay to get to the line. She hit both to take the lead back for Phoenix with 40 seconds to play.
LA inevitably went to Parker, who almost equally inevitably went to her pet lefty hook from the left block. It’s a shot she often makes, even if it with her weak hand, but the ball rolled just off the rim. From there they had to start fouling. Eventually, LA were left inbounding with nine seconds left, still trailing by three, and made one final error. The play design was to flare Toliver to the corner, and it almost worked, but Parker tossed the pass to her before she was ready to receive it. The ball went out of bounds, and that was the game.
Key Players: Taurasi, Taurasi, and more Taurasi for Phoenix. She kept them in the game with her perimeter gunning in the first half, and while she got a little more offensive help in the second – mostly from Dupree – Diana was still the centerpiece even then. She finished 10-15 for 34 points. They’ll be hoping they don’t have to rely on her to that extent for the rest of the postseason, because shooting that well for a minimum of seven games is distinctly unlikely, even for Taurasi. It’s not a word you use in relation to LA’s defense very often, but the Sparks gave a masterclass in unsettling Griner, knocking her off her spots and bumping her enough to make her miss on post moves, without drawing whistles. Gruda was so effective in that role that it was a little surprising when Ohgoomahwookee came back in for her in the closing minutes.
It feels like a huge opportunity missed for the Sparks. The Mercury were the better team by such a distance in the regular season, that running them this close and not managing to come away with the win – especially on the road – is desperately disappointing. Parker and Toliver made most of the plays offensively, but they got solid contributions from the other three starters as well, and the defensive effort worked on everyone bar Taurasi. They’ll try to pull the same trick in Game 2, but might not be so successful.
Notes of Interest: Hopefully Nneka Ogwumike and her relatives will take no offense from the monikers used in this piece. As anyone who watched the game will know, veteran broadcaster Al McCoy – ridiculously being used for the first time by the Mercury in such a huge game – continuously mangled her name throughout the game (along with often referring to the Mercury as the Suns, and occasionally using ‘he’ instead of ‘she’ for the players). I was just having a little fun by using some of his variations on Nneka’s surname.

Chris Jericho Says He Is An AEW Employee, Not An Independent Contractor
Published 14th June 2019 at 7:24pm by James Dixon
Chris Jericho has outlined the key differences between his previous WWE contracts and his current AEW deal in an interview with Jesse Ventura on The World According to Jesse.
Jericho clarified that under the terms of his AEW contract he is registered as a employee rather than an independent contractor – which is what WWE classifies its wrestlers as.
With that he receives health care, dental care, and all of the other benefits that employees receive.
AEW EVP’s Kenny Omega, Cody, The Young Bucks and Chief Brand Officer Brandi Rhodes are also classed an employees under their deals.
Jericho said that in AEW there is a “different vibe”, comparing it to a real sports mentality rather than the old school wrestling “the way things are done” mentality.
He went on to say there is a time when that approach needs to change and that “just because it is that way, doesn’t mean it is right”.
Jericho added that he thinks WWE need to follow suit and change the way its contracts are structured otherwise more and more wrestlers will want to leave and head for the greener pastures of AEW.
“I think that’s going to continue to grow, which will force eventually WWE to follow suit, or else everybody will want to leave to come to AEW, which is already happening anyway.”
Jericho is set to face Hangman Page in a match to crown the first ever AEW Champion at the already sold-out All Out on August 31.

Data Can Be Used as a ‘Consumer Fingerprint’, SMG’s Simpson
LONDON — Data is rooted in numbers, but the use of it is most effective when brands view data as a “consumer fingerprint,” says Steve Simpson, Exec VP and Global Managing Director of Digital Strategy, Data and Analytics at SMG, in an interview with Beet.TV. “Think about it as a reflection of people and what they are doing in their everyday life, and then you can connect technology and creative through data. Every interaction between a brand and person leaves its own data trail.”
Media agencies have been accessing and basing campaigns on data for years, whether counting impressions in a campaign or measuring the impact, he says. The current phase of data has been driven by search and social. “That data is much more fast in terms of overall volume and it’s quicker to show up. When we think about data these days, we are thinking less about measuring things and more about data as a reflection of people.” That means smart marketers can use data to connect brands better to people and their interests at a particular point in time, which in turns offers the chance to build more personalized campaigns.
We spoke with Simpson for “The Road to DMEXCO,” a series of interviews with industry leaders produced in New York, London and San Francisco. It is sponsored by the automatic content recognition (ACR) technology provider Civolution.
Please find more videos from the series here. Beet.TV is a media sponsor of DMEXCO and will be covering the conference extensively.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF BENUE
Suspected Herdsmen Attack Tarfi Village In Buruku LG, Kill 12
Just when Benue farmers were enjoying some respite from the activities of dare-devil Fulani herdsmen in some parts of the state, no fewer than 12 persons were late Friday night reportedly killed by suspect herdsmen at Tarfi village, Binnev Ward, in Buruku local government area.
Sunday Vanguard learned that the attack also left so many villagers with varying degrees of injuries while several others were still reported missing and unaccounted for.
Fulani herdsman watering his cattle on a dusty plain between Malkohi and Yola town. / AFP According to a source, the armed men stormed the village in their numbers from neighbouring Tarka Local Government at about 11pm, shooting sporadically and burning down houses and huts in the community.
He said, “there is no doubt that it is this same group of herdsmen that have been terrorizing Tarka and Buruku Local Government Areas in recent times that are responsible for this attack. “This time they stormed Tarfi village, Binnev Ward, in Buruku late last night at about 11pm, in a commando fashion shooting and killing anything that stood in their way.
“It was a well coordinated attack. They marched through the village burning down houses and huts, farmland, food barn and any property that belonged to the indigenous people.
“At the moment, the calls we received from home indicated that about 12 persons were killed while many sustained serious injuries and many others still missing and unaccounted for.
“As I’m speaking with you, the locals, including women, children and the elderly, have all fled their homes, trekking long distances to seek a safe place to hide, while the intruders have gone into hiding though their cows are still grazing in the village.
When contacted, the Benue Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Assistant Superintendent, ASP, Moses Yamu, who confirmed the attack, said the Police recorded five deaths in the incident adding that the Command was on top of the situation.
Yamu said, “yes I can confirm the attack on Tarfi village, Binnev Ward, in Buruku Local Government Area of the state by suspected Fulani herdsmen; so far we have record five deaths, two persons were killed in the village but three others who sustained injuries in the attack died on their way to the hospital.”

The concept of order, disorder, and reordering is central to my work. Scientists talk of order and randomness, of entropy, and of eternity's eventual end when all differences disappear. Yet, I am an optimist. I see life as an anti-entropic force for order. In my work, I constantly propose not a duality of life and death, but an endless cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
I explore systems of knowledge by translating philosophical concepts into aesthetic visual experiences.
My paintings honor differences among cultures by utilizing symbols and words that represent concepts shared by people of widely different philosophic worldviews. I hope that, by exposing people to the beliefs of others and by showing the interconnectedness of one belief system to another, each of us may experience a common compassion.
I studied many systems of knowledge during the last forty years, both ones well known and those more esoteric; incorporating these teachings into my life and into my art is an evolving process.
I work in series, beginning a new series with an entirely different visual approach after I solve the aesthetic challenges of my then current series. I investigate the healing potential of images in all my series, often employing pilgrimage and other ritualistic acts in the creation processes. I use word and/or myth-like visual elements from many philosophic and religious systems (including Native American healing practices, Buddhism, Christianity, Taoism, the I-Ching, Jewish mysticism as taught in the Cabala, and the chakra system of Hinduism) in order to facilitate communication with viewers on both conscious and unconscious levels.
The "Word" in Paint
Often, I purposely "hide" words in paintings. Individual words may be seen behind the paint and, sometimes, deciphered in whole or part; however, viewers can not consciously read the entire message. One reason for hiding words, phrases and symbols behind paint is that I believe art works on the Jungian unconsciousness, conscious knowledge not being required. Viewers may recognize a message lays buried behind the paint, but that message remains unreadable in its entirety, even when examined closely. Anyone who consciously tries to "get the message" will not. Yet, in this striving, I believe viewers will succeed unconsciously . . . one of the many mysteries of life and art.
I first inserted a literal "word" into my art in 1993 in a series entitled A Verse for the Eleventh Hour (1993) employing the poem The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats. A related series, A Story for the Eleventh Hour (1993), includes words and symbols within the paintings and, importantly, references to the poetry of T. S. Eliot, particularly Burnt Norton (one of The Four Quartets) and The Waste Land.
A Verse for the Eleventh Hour, two examples
A Story for the Eleventh Hour, two examples
Beginning with the Shen Qi series (1996-1999), I placed symbols in such a manner that they might be seen, but were obscured. In Shen Qi and its closely related, following series, States of Change (1999-2001), these symbols alluded to universal sources of human wisdom.
C S 4 Worlds: Shen Qi example that derives from Cabala visualizing the Cabalistic Scheme of the Four Worlds, a transformstion from the Tree of Life
Chakras: States of Change example that superimposes the chakra system of kundalini-yoga and the Tree of Life
Om mani padme hum: States of Change example that uses the Sanskrit phrase om mani padme hum
Yellow River Map: States of Change example that includes the Yellow River Map (Ho T'u in Chinese) derived from The Book of Changes (I Ching or Yi Jing in Chinese)
During the development of the next two series, Visible Reminders (2002-2003) and Tree of Life (2002), I incorporated phrases and symbols from Cabala and the bible into the paintings. Increasingly, the ability to read the written message within the painting is obscured as these two series develop.
VR and Tree of Life: Comparison between one Visible Reminders painting with words from T.S. Eliot and one Tree of Life series
All works from The Fire and the Rose (2003-2005) are titled with words from Little Gidding (one of The Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot) and all the larger painting hide lines of poetry from Little Gidding within the paint. The written "message" may not be read while viewing these works as that message purposefully remains obscured to the conscious mind.
The Fire and the Rose, 2 examples
My latest series, The Thirteenth Moon (2005-2006), evolves as I continue exploring painterly methods of visualizing different philosophic systems of human experience. The overall visual appearance of the work in this series changes significantly, even though the concept of order, disorder, and reordering continues. At the beginning of this new series, I persisted in disguising words behind the paint within central area of the painting.

48" x 60" (1.22m x 1.52m)
2005 Beth Ames Swartz
The Thirteenth Moon :
That body and that soul, too perfect at the full to lie in a cradle
I used words from a poem by William Butler Yeats, The Phases of the Moon (1937). Yeats described his philosophic system in A Vision (1925; 1937). In Yeats's esoteric system, all things are subject to re-occurring cycles of change, symbolized by the changing phases of the moon.
The concept of a thirteenth moon also may remind many that the annual cycle of twelve months does not correspond precisely to twelve, twenty-eight day lunar periods. The Thirteenth Moon may metaphorically be viewed as a symbol of the continuous renewing of life, since it may bridge the last portion of an old year with the first portion of the new.
But the series evolved. I moved the poetry from central area to a painted frame and began painting "symbolist landscapes" featuring the moon.
All thought becomes an image
acrylic, holographic film and paste on canvas
Beyond the visible world
I continue painting symbolist landscapes, but now use poetry from the two of the most famous poets of China:
Li Bai (also Romanized as Li Po) 701 - 762 A.C.E., Chinese
Du Fu (also Romanized as Tu Fu) 712 - 770 A.C.E., Chinese
Visualizing the words themselves in the frame now became part of the painting. Twelve centuries after the words were written, they still convey a profound understanding of life.
The birds have vanished down the sky
acrylic and paste on canvas
All the birds have flown up and gone
"The birds have vanished down the sky.
Now the last cloud drains away.
We sit together, the mountain and me,
until only the mountain remains." "All the birds have flown up and gone;
A lonely cloud floats leisurely by.
We never tire of looking at each other –
Only the mountain and I."
Li Bai, also Romanized Li Po,
701 - 762 A.C.E., Chinese)

An hour of changing scenes
Words from the last three stanzas of a poem by Du Fu encircle the moon and "ray-down" upon the earth.
"The moon has risen, and its silver beams
Across the Lan-Tien Pass in beauty glow,
While we sit idly on the vessel's side
And watch the nodding peaks in depths below"
Du Fu, also Romanized as Tu Fu,
(712 - 770 A.C.E, Chinese) from The Waters of the Mei-Pei, trans. Budd, Charles
"In ecstasy we watch the wondrous scene,
But awe and joy are mingled in our mind,
For now far off we hear the thunder peal,
And lowering clouds with lurid lights are lined.
The waters heave with burdensome unrest,
The air is full of shadows of the dead;
The Spirits of the Universe are near,
And we cannot divine their portents dread.
And such is life—an hour of changing scenes
Of fitful joy and quickly following grief;
An hour of buoyant youth in rapid flight,
And then old age to end life—sad and brief!"
May the Word be Visualized?
Ancient Jewish tradition requires that the name of God not be written. Many other faiths preach that the name of God not be used in an inappropriate manner.
Most frequently, I have "hidden" symbols or the “Word/word” in the sense that a viewer may recognize something appears within the visual field; however, even when an individual word may be discerned, the message may not be read.
BASID #431
detail of BASID #431
Visible Reminders:
Muted Light
"We must be fully alive in the present moment to experience the divine."
Allowing the word in paint to become more apparent (as in my latest series, The Thirteenth Moon) raises the possibility that viewers/readers holding one belief system may feel that art alluding to a different belief system confronts their beliefs. When I allow the "word" to be visually recognized, using poetry rather than wisdom from a specific belief system helps convey the underlying wisdom in a non-confrontational manner. Visualizing the word also honors the great Islamic calligraphic tradition wherein the Word may be visualized, but where representational renditions may not be acceptable.
Frames, Grids and Gestures
I began employing painted frames with A Story for the Eleventh Hour (1993) by applying material along the edge of the shaped canvas used for paintings in this series. The "painted frame" reinforced the themes of cosmological and spiritual journeys of being by creating a window from which the viewer may look out into the universe and inward into themselves.
I continued using shaped canvas and golden-edged "frames" with Shen Qi (1996-1997) and States of Change (1999-2000); however, I began organizing the central area of the painting as a grid. (The use of a grid, while pre-dating modern art, reflects the thinking that, " . . . before a painting is a painting, it is a piece of canvas.”). The golden "squares" applied in grid fashion create order, an order that is counterbalanced by the chaos and randomness of the disorder created by violating the form of the individual golden squares.
Shen Qi:
The Cabalistic Scheme of the Four Worlds #3
mixed media with gold leaf on shaped canvas
The outer frame of gold leaf over a shaped (i.e., three-dimensional) canvas creates an appearance of order as do concentric circles and the grid of six by four gold “squares.” The gold squares, however, are composed of very chaotic smaller pieces
Overall, an image of order, disorder and reordering
With the series Visual Reminders (2001-2002), I created a grid of seeming order by hiding words in horizontal lines along with horizontal bands of color that were further ordered (and disordered) by vertical, seemingly random, drips:
In my end is my beginning
48" x 72" (1.22m x 1.83m) 2001-2
Order created by horizontal bands of color over the horizontal words. Disorder created by seemingly random vertical drips. Reordering created by the grid formed by the horizontal and vertical elements.
In Tree of Life (2002), I painted a frame upon the canvas; by the time of The Fire and the Rose (2003-2005) series, the painted frame "binds" and "orders" the apparently "disordered" interior to this central “window” wherein the seeming order created by horizontal “rows” of hidden words and horizontal paint strokes may be disordered by seemingly random vertical drips.
In many of the later works of The Fire and the Rose, fluid, gestural brush strokes violate any appearance of order, thereby adding energy by visually generating an illusion of ordering (by the grid of ordered horizontal lines and vertical drips), disordering (by the gestural strokes), and reordering (by the painted frame).
The Fire and the Rose:
While the light fails on a winter's afternoon, in a secluded chapel
36” x 48” (0.91m x 1.22m)
2002-2004 Fluid gestural strokes violate the order imposed by the painted frame “freeing” the interior grid and, once again, establishing an ongoing dialogue between order, disorder and reordering.
Whither Thou Goest?
Order, disorder, reorder.

"My love, speak to me. Tell me everything.” Neferet went to Kalona, kneeling before him, stroking the soft, dark wings that unfurled loosely around the immortal. “What would you have me say?” He didn’t meet her eyes. “Zoey lives.” Neferet’s voice was flat, cold, lifeless.“She does.”“Then you owe me the subservience of your immortal soul.” She started to walk away from him.“Where are you going? What will happen next?”
Zoey is finally home where she belongs, safe with her Guardian Warrior, Stark, by her side, and preparing to face off against Neferet - which would be a whole lot easier if the High Counsel saw the ex-High Priestess for what she really is. Kalona has released his hold on Rephaim, and, through Nyx's gift of a human form, Rephaim and Stevie Rae are finally able to be together - if he can truly walk the path of the Goddess and stay free of his father's shadow.

SO SO
By Blandina on 11-27-05
Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg have teamed up for a dynamic new series featuring an FBI agent who’s on the hunt - and a master con artist who’s enjoying the chase. The con is on in this audiobook short story that’s a triumphant prequel to The Heist.
FBI special agent Kate O’Hare has made it her mission to nail international con artist Nicolas Fox. When she discovers his plot to plunder a venture capitalist’s 20th-story Chicago penthouse of all its cash and treasures while the self-proclaimed "King of Hostile Takeovers" is getting married, Kate is 85 percent - okay maybe 92 percent - sure that she’s finally going to bag Nick Fox.
Problem is, first Kate has to convince her boss, building security, and maybe even herself, that wedding planner Merrill Stubing is actually Nicolas Fox. Second, she has to figure out how to corner and capture him without disrupting the event of the year. And third, what’s going to happen once O’Hare finally gets her hands on Fox? It’s going take a pro to catch a con before the fireworks over Lake Michigan go off.

Good Read - But not as good as Janet's other books
I love Scott Bricks voice. I go through all the samples just to hear him speak! lol Yes .. I am weird and a tad bit crazy - and these are the exact kind of books I like to read too! Pros and Cons - a Short Story was exactly that. A Short Story - so why all the sad faces and lesser than decent reviews kids? Anyway, this was a fun-ny story. Yes .. we all need to now go buy "The Heist'. But you can't blame anyone for smart marketing. Scott Brick made this listen all that much more awesome.
Wonderful short story
I love the Fox and O'Hare series! Having Scott Brick read the books is frosting on the cake. I hope I'm not giving away too much by writing that Nick Fox gets away from FBI agent Kate O'Hare again. The question is, how did he do it this time?
Karen D. Phillips, MD
I can't wait for the whole book!
Great teaser! These characters have such great potential and I hope this turns into a series.
from SC
Funny and Fun
Any additional comments?
this is a short story involving Kate and Nicholas before they began to "work" together. Kate thinks she is really going to catch him this time. The scene is a penthouse "over the top" wedding. There are valuable treasures at the penthouse and a large number of guests. Nicholas wants to pull off a big haul in this difficult setting.
The story is not essential to the Kate O'Hare and Nicholas Fox series and could serve as a stand alone. It is funny and intriguing. Also the narration is excellent.
Niceville, FL, United States
A past con with Kate as agent on the hunt
This short story one is good enough. It brings readers back to one of the cons referenced in the first book, to tell the full story. The long books are much better!
I am loving this new series. The problem is that now that I've had a taste, I'm concerned the authors can't write new books fast enough to satisfy my appetite. Chemistry, intelligence, and fun, I want more!
nederland, TX, United States
mmmmm the voice of the narrator
liked the story but i'm still not sure i like the narrator. he reminds me of the konrath books to much. but i loved the story and it's full of character building. so it's a keeper.
Jacksonville, NC, United States
Nice Teaser
Where does Pros and Cons: A Short Story rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's not the best but it's not the worst.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
I hated him. He made the female character sound whiny and pathetic. His female voices are really lacking.
Who was the most memorable character of Pros and Cons: A Short Story and why?
Obviously it was Nick. He was the most mysterious and most interesting.
Great little spoonful of this series' expectations
Nice little short including the cat and mouse game of the Fox and O'Hare books. But just who is the cat and who is the mouse? Get into this series and find out for yourself ;-)
Mike T.
Thin but enjoyable teaser prequel.
Best read before reading any of the full length Fox and O'Hare novels. Still enjoyable as a bite size caper if you're already into the series.
Miss Tere
It has to be good.
It had to be good in order to keep my attention! I didn't want it to be over!

ARTISTdirect - ARTD-OTCBB
Market Perform - Price 1.45 on Jan. 17
by JMP Securities
Downgrading to Market Perform [because]: We now expect a significant deceleration in its MediaDefender business in 4Q06, due to...a contract dispute with Warner Music [and] slower growth in ARTD's online media business, due to [sales-force hiring] delay...We are lowering our revenue estimate for 2007 from $31.8 million to $27.6 million (consensus: $30.8 million), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization from $10.4 million to $8.9 million (consensus: $10.3 million)...ARTD trades at enterprise value/Ebitda multiple of 7 based on our 2007 Ebitda estimate, a discount to peer-group median of 15 times, which we believe appropriate, given its lower growth rate.
CaremarkRx - CMX-NYSE
Outperform - Price 56.25 on Jan. 17
by Cowen & Co.
The sweetened terms of the CVS (CVS)merger make the deal more competitive with Express Scripts ' (ESRX) competing offer. We think Express can raise its offer by $2 to $3 a share in response. We think CMX shares can outperform the market by 25% over the next year...The $2/share special dividend is a cost-effective method of adding a cash component to the offer. We estimate the share buyback adds 8 to 9 cents to '08 estimated EPS...Pro forma analysis suggests 2008 EPS potential of $2.36.
Commerce Bancorp - CBH-NYSE
Underperform - Price 34.72 on Jan. 16
by RBC Capital Markets
Q406 EPS increased 54%, year-over-year, but decreased 2.4% sequentially to 40 cents. EPS was two cents below our estimate, but in line with the consensus...EPS missed our estimate due to lower-than-expected average earning-asset growth, lower than anticipated deposit-service- charge income and a lower net-interest margin. U.S. Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have started an investigation...that "will include but not be limited to transactions with its officers, directors and related parties, including transactions involving bank premises."
Global Payments - GPN-NYSE
Buy - Price 38.78 on Jan. 16
by Janney Montgomery Scott
We [recently] hosted a client field trip to Global's main processing facility in Owings Mills, Md...Regarding the stock, catalysts remain elusive due to margin pressure; however, attractive long-term trends in electronic payments could provide support at the $40-per-share level, in our opinion. It appears margins will trend higher as operating efficiencies and overall economies of scale [set in]...We view recently disclosed competitive issues within money-transfer as secondary given this business represents only 4% of pretax earnings. In our opinion, money-transfer challenges were simply the straw that broke the camel's back in regards to tightening '07 revenue guidance to 16% to 17.7%, from 16% to 19%. Reaffirming Buy rating and lowering our 12-month fair value estimate to 48, due to a lack of any material short-term catalysts.
Tables: New Coverage
Gray Television - GTN-NYSE
Outperform - Price 7.79 on Jan. 12
by Barrington Research
We are raising our rating on GTN to Outperform. We are tempted to feel that some important catalysts for Gray will not come fully into play until later in the year, when attention will turn toward the potentially very lucrative 2008 quadrennial election period, which will benefit from a presidential race absent an incumbent from either party. Gray captures about 60% of the political spending in its markets...[a] digital switch in 2009 should help its digital duopolies. Recent perking up in the stock leaves it short of other media stocks that have begun to generate longer momentum. We feel additional upside remains, with a 2008-based target of 10.
LeCroy - LCRY-NNM
Hold - Price 10.35 on Jan. 17
by Needham & Co.
LeCroy is a leading manufacturer of digital oscilloscopes, which are used to visually analyze electronic signals, and serial-data analyzers, which leverage the company's core expertise in high-speed electronic signal acquisition and analysis. The company's products are used in computer, semiconductor, storage, communications and automotive design applications. Although the stock trades at an attractive valuation (16 times our new FY07 estimated EPS) on our reduced estimates after yesterday's sell-off, we are downgrading the stock since the Q2 results [are] yet another in a sequence of apparent execution errors. LeCroy's solution [it is hiring some direct and an army of new indirect salespeople in the U.S. and Asia, and has new products in the pipeline] should play out over the next 12 months. However, we urge caution in case the execution errors continue during that period.
Navteq - NVT-NYSE
by American Technology Research
Initiating coverage with a Buy and 44 target. We think Navteq, a maker of digital maps for vehicular navigation, will report [Feb. 8] a strong Q4...current consensus estimates do not reflect dilution from recent acquisitions. The stock is trading at 13 times '07 Ebitda, below our Ebitda growth rate of 16% (depressed by acquisition dilution). Our price target is based on 18 times '07 Ebitda (slight premium to growth) and represents around 38% upside potential.
OMI - OMM-NYSE
by Lazard Capital Markets
Reiterating Buy but reducing target to 25 from 27. Our 25 price target equates to 10 times our 2007 EPS forecast and nine times our 2007 enterprise value/Ebitda forecast, in line with the peer-group averages...Lowering 4Q06 estimates and 2007 outlook on softer-than-anticipated freight rates, but OMI still has promise...the tanker markets remain historically strong, but freight rates have not met expectations for 4Q06 and 1Q07. After a near record 3Q06 for the Suezmax [one million-barrel capacity] tanker sector, 4Q did not meet our expectations. Handymax and Handysize product tankers are also coming off a strong 3Q, but had a softer-than-expected 4Q.
High U.S. oil inventories and lower-than-expected Chinese demand have led to weaker-than-expected demand from top down for 4Q06, and soften our 2007 outlook...Via its term charter business, OMI is somewhat insulated from future weakness...OMI has an estimated 41% debt to cap and $600 million in liquidity...Colder weather in the U.S. Northeast and declining refined and crude oil inventories could signal improved demand.
Qiao Xing Universal Telephone - XING-NNM
Strong Buy - Price 12.72 on Jan. 16
by Dutton Associates
XING is one of China's largest manufacturers and distributors of telecommunications products, [sold under] the CECT and COSUN brands, with a product portfolio covering fixed wireless phones, VoIP telephones, advanced mobile phones, PDAs and consumer-electronic products such as MP3 players, cash registers and set-top box products...Although net revenues for the first three quarters of FY2006 were lower than our expectations, we are happy to see significant improvement in gross, operating and net margins [mainly from] cost-control measures...and improving product mix toward higher-margin products. This positive trend should extend into FY2007.
In November, XING completed acquisition of the remaining 20% equity in Qiao Xing Mobile Communication, and thus raised its effective interest in CECT (its mobile-handsets operation) from 74.7% to 93.4%. Ministry of Information Industry statistics indicate that the number of mobile subscribers in China is accelerating. These positive factors, along with the improvement in margins, had prompted us to significantly raise our EPS forecasts for fiscal-year 2007 by 16.1% from $2.18 to $2.53.
SumTotal Systems - SUMT-NNM
Buy - Price 6.36 on Jan. 16
by Wedbush Morgan Securities
Mountain View, Calif.-based SumTotal Systems is the market leader in the enterprise learning-management-systems software sector. Preliminary Q4 results are higher than our above-consensus estimates....
SUMT will release full Q4 results Feb. 6, after the market close. LMS market seems to be growing at a pace, 13% to 17%, that could be double that of the broader application-software market 6% to 7%. We are slightly increasing 2006 revenue estimate from $109.9 million to $110.4 million to reflect preliminary Q4 results. Increasing 2007 revenue estimate from $129 million to $131 million and EPS estimate from 41 cents to 46 cents, due to higher levels of business activity. Raising target to $9.50 (was $8.50), reflecting P/E about 21 times our new '07 EPS estimate of 46 cents.
WellsFargo - WFC-NYSE
by Punk Ziegel
Wells Fargo reported 4Q earnings of 64 cents per share, 2 cents below our estimate and flat with 3Q results. The earnings forecasts for WFC are being adjusted as follows: a) the 2007 estimate is being reduced from $2.78 per share to $2.74 per share; b) the 2008 estimate is being increased to $3.07 per share from $3.06 per share; and c) an estimate of $3.37 per share is being instituted for 2009. The price target is being increased to 44 from 42, and the secular growth rate is being raised to 10.5% from 10%.
The company missed our earnings estimate because its net interest income was lower than expected and its loan losses were higher. However, the underlying structure of the company's balance sheet has improved meaningfully, suggesting strong earnings performance for the next few quarters. Over-all, Wells Fargo demonstrated again that it can manage a large bank balance sheet better than [most others]. In 4Q, the bank reduced its average mortgage-backed-securities portfolio by $15.2 billion, sequentially.

Fasten Your Seatbelts, It's Going to Be a Bumpy Ride
Randall Forsyth
Updated March 6, 2007 11:59 pm ET / Original July 17, 2019 12:45 pm ET
WAS THAT THE BIG ONE, or just a prelude? To that question -- posed here following last Tuesday's 400-point hit to the Dow -- the answer is the latter, if historical trading patterns hold.
So says Barry Ritholtz, chief market strategist of the eponymously named Ritholtz Research & Analytics. (In his spare time, he also pens The Big Picture, a must-read blog at http://bigpicture.typepad.com/, and is a regular guest on financial television, where he tries to provide a counterweight of rationality to the typical ravings heard there.)
"When we see these -3% days, especially after a long stretch of low volatility, it typically means volatility has returned with a vengeance. We should expect to see both higher AND lower prices," he writes in an e-mail.
"Consider 1997: From Oct. 16 to Oct. 24, the market suffered three single days where prices were down between 2.5% to 3%. The next trading day (Oct. 27), the Nasdaq dropped about 100 points (-6.2%). The day after saw a gap down of another 75 points, but then the market rallied, closing up over 9%! Some more upward progress was followed by an 11% setback. The washed-out markets set up a 30% rally by April 1998.
"A similar pattern occurred in 1998. April 6 and 7 saw 1.7% and 2% drops, respectively, followed by oversold conditions, leading to a 10-day rally of about 7%. That set up some wild market swings over the next six months: a 10.7% selloff, an 18.2% rally, a 27.2% selloff. From there, we saw a near 20% snapback, leading to a 23.6% correction, and by Oct. 8, 1998, the markets had erased the gains for the entire year and then some. The deeply oversold conditions led to a rally that was up about 60% by the end of 1998, and tagged an 86.7% gain on by Feb. 1, 1999.
"December 1999 and January 2000 saw several 3% down days. The market peaked on March 10, and two days later suffered a 6% (peak-to-trough intraday) whack. The next day was another hit of near 4%. These moves set 2000 up for what would turn out to be one of the wildest years in market history. From that March peak to the beginning of April, the Nasdaq dropped 29%. A 22% bounce by April 10 was followed by a 27% drop, a 23% gain and a 23% selloff. And that was all before May was over!
"From the lows in May, the Nasdaq subsequently rallied 41% by mid-July. Between then and Sept. 1, the 'Nazz' dropped 17.9% and rallied 21.0%. From September to December, the Nasdaq markets then dropped over 40%, to just about 2,300.
"Here we are nearly seven years later, and the Nasdaq is less than 100 points above the levels of December 2000 -- but that's another story entirely...."
So, what's ahead? More volatility, as in those previous episodes, which usually follows a drop after a period of subdued volatility, says Ritholtz. The markets also typically attempt to revisit their old highs as psychology is "balanced between complacency and denial," but fail to do so.
Ultimately, deeply oversold conditions create great entry points as markets get oversold, Ritholtz says. But that means breaking below 200-day moving averages, which for the Nasdaq Composite is about 100 points under Monday's close of 2340.68. In other words, considerably lower.
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY to cushion those bumps ahead? Hedge funds have been touted as the au courant solution to volatility but Merrill Lynch chief strategist Richard Bernstein and his associate, Kari Pinkernell, find that retro -- bonds or T-bills -- works better.
It turns out that nearly every major asset class is becoming more tightly correlated, according to their research. That's bad news because the Holy Grail of asset allocation is to find asset classes that are negatively correlated -- some zig while the others zag -- which makes for higher returns with less risk.
During the Bubble Years of 1995 to 2000, adding hedge funds to a stock portfolio (represented by the S&P 500) markedly dampened volatility without reducing returns much. The traditional mix of stocks and bonds didn't reduce volatility as much -- but took a bigger bite out of returns. No wonder hedge funds are all the rage.
But, according to Bernstein and Pinkernell, hedge funds no longer provide that magic because they've become highly correlated with the S&P since 2000. Indeed, asset classes that once marched to different drummers now are nearly in lockstep.
Foreign stocks (the MSCI EAFE) and small-caps (the Russell 2000) have become nearly perfectly correlated with the S&P. That means they don't provide any diversification, as the global sell-off of the last week demonstrated. Even real estate, also touted as a diversifier, has become more tightly linked with the
S&P. And gold and commodities, which were negatively correlated with stocks in 2000, now move in the same direction; they also didn't provide protection in recent days.
But bonds have become negatively correlated with stocks -- their traditional relationship over the decades, but one that didn't hold during 1995-2000. The sharp rally in bonds, which has brought the yield on the benchmark 10-year T-note down to 4.50% from over 4.90% in January, demonstrates the diversification benefits of fixed income. T-bills' returns also are negatively correlated to stocks, but to a lesser extent than bonds, Bernstein and Pinkernell found.
"Thus, equity investors should probably look upon bonds and cash as powerful diversifying assets the same as they looked seven years upon hedge funds and non-U.S. stocks," they write.
The rally in Treasuries has effectively discounted a rate cut by the Federal Reserve, which implies the stock market is seeing a lot more bad economic news ahead. If so, government bonds -- more so than corporates -- would provide a port for the coming storm.
If, however, the economy is merely slowing and not headed into a recession, the decline in stocks and other risky assets likely represent an overdue correction of the previously depressed risk premiums. In which case, the Fed is unlikely to ease, and bonds would be vulnerable to a reversal.
For the short-term, cash remains the cheapest asset class around with a 5%-plus yield. And the safest.

Criccieth & Cambrian House: A Brief History
In the hallway of Cambrian House, you’ll find a framed glass bottle and census dating from 1890. This is the first time Cambrian House, and its first owner, Mr John Rowlands, appeared in written records. Well, Mr Rowland was 60 years old when he moved in, so perhaps not the first time he was mentioned. Mr Rowlands was born in Criccieth in the 1830s. He lived in Cambrian House with his wife Catherine and their niece Miss Lewis.
And the bottle? Well that was what Mr Rowland did for a living. He was a soda water manufacturer. He sourced the cleverly branded bottle (take a closer look) from a supplier in the North East of England. And inside each bottle, was a glass marble. When the bottle was filled with soda water, the marble would seal the bottle, trapping and preserving the bubbles inside. We thought that was rather clever.
More about Criccieth
“The castle, beach, restaurants, cafes and shops are all within short walking distance so no need to venture out in the car, particularly appealing to those who want to sample the convivial & welcoming atmosphere of the local watering holes!”

Bucyrus polishes off Fostoria, sets up third meeting with Seneca East

WILLARD - Bucyrus will look to prove an old adage true.
The Lady Red advanced to a Division III girls basketball sectional championship with a 51-34 win Tuesday over Fostoria.
Bucyrus (12-10) advanced to play No. 3 seed Seneca East in Saturday's title tilt at 6 p.m. at Willard High School.
The Tigers are 2-0 against Bucyrus this season, winning a pair of Northern 10 Athletic Conference games. People say it's hard to beat a team three times in one season.
"We've lost to them twice already," Lady Red coach Taylor Whitaker said. "Our goal is to beat them."
Bucyrus fell to Seneca East by four points on Dec. 19 and by 14 points on Jan. 20.
The Lady Red geared up for the third meeting with a hard-fought win over Fostoria (4-19). Both teams played physical, man-to-man defense, sending bodies to the floor.
Seeded fifth, Bucyrus looked to be running away with the game, leading by a 28-11 margin at halftime. The Lady Red were able to increase the lead with leading scorer Shaina Orewiler on the bench with two fouls.
"Our bench players stepped in and did what they were supposed to do," Whitaker said. "We were sharing the ball very well, and girls were hitting shots, especially in the first half."
The third quarter was another story. Fostoria started the period with a 9-0 run to close within 28-20.
Bucyrus didn't score until the 5:12 mark of the third quarter and recorded only one field goal in the period.
That was by freshman Caleigh Rister, who came off the bench to give the Lady Red a spark.
Whitaker was not surprised.
"She's stepped in several times and made plays," the coach said.
Fostoria coach Gale Sierra said his team got back in the game by pressuring Bucyrus.
"We knew we could force them into mistakes," he said.
Fostoria scored as many points (11) in the third quarter as it did in the first half.
"They finally settled down," Sierra said. "They relaxed and took a deep breath."
Bucyrus got it back together in the fourth quarter and won handily. Six players scored at least five points in the Lady Red's balanced attack.
Orewiler, a senior guard/forward, led the way with a game-high 15 points, matching her average for the regular season. Isadora Burling also hit twin digits with 10 points.
Whitaker, in her first year as coach, said she did not know the last time Bucyrus won a sectional.
"It'd be big, especially for this group," she said. "We have six seniors."

The Bury Down Chronicles
Megge of Bury Down
Prologue and Chapter One
'Megge' Updates
Story Locations
Bury Down History
Reference Sources
For Booksellers and Librarians
“Rebecca Kightlinger is a weaver of earth magic and a mixer of potions,
and her suspenseful and magical chronicle mixes up a brew of
destiny and reckoning, tradition and dreams."
—Annie Finch, author of Among the Goddesses
“Rebecca Kightlinger is a weaver of earth magic and a mixer of potions, and her suspenseful and magical chronicle mixes up a brew of destiny and reckoning, tradition and dreams. As the timeless tale of the coming of age of Megge of Bury Down unfolds through the centuries, it offers readers a truth as unchanging as change: that accepting ourselves is the key to claiming our power.”
"With its matrilineal history of secrets passed down by complex, hardened, loving women, its touches of magic, and its skillful attention to historical detail, Megge of Bury Down is a wonderful debut. Megge is a protagonist easy to fall in love with, to root for, to worry about, and when dark forces enter her world Kightlinger’s storytelling abilities shine. This novel manages to be full of careful character studies, and yet also shot through with dramatic tension that is certain to keep readers turning the pages. It's a full, satisfying novel that will, at the end, leave you hungry for the next installment."
--David Anthony Durham, author of Pride of Carthage and the Acacia trilogy
"Creating powerful female characters, combining magic and medicine, Rebecca Kightlinger tells a compelling tale of what it takes to walk the 'path of the protector.' In a timeless yet also timely story, Kightlinger's heroine rallies supernatural strength and all matter of healing arts to find her path toward protecting books, the land, and most of all her fellow women. Kightlinger's own background in medicine grounds her epic narrative in hard truths. Her wisdom and compassion give it heart. Readers will not forget the women of Bury Down."
--Elizabeth Searle, author of We Got Him and librettist for Tonya and Nancy: The Rock Opera
“The list of surgeons who became writers is legion (Somerset Maugham, Conan Doyle, Chekhov, to name a few), as is the list of precocious child narrators (Holden Caulfield, Huck Finn, Scout, Celie). Add Rebecca Kightlinger and her narrator to those lists. Megge of Bury Down (set in Lostwithiel, Cornwall of the 13th century) is as winsome as any of her predecessors. She is also so much more: herder, shearer, weaver[…]. Better yet, she is fiercely loyal to her flock (staving off wolves on their behalf) and family (attacking men thrice her size who have harmed her mother).
The story is woven around two mystical volumes, The Book of Time (celestial wisdom) and The Book of Seasons (worldly knowledge), which have their origins a thousand years in the past, together providing a recipe for power and courage, the very attributes that make them sought through the ages by the worst of humankind while protected by the best – but, as Ms. Kightlinger so wisely illustrates, good and bad are relative. The good are as culpable as the bad for the conflicts they create, and pay as high a price.
It should come as no surprise that Ms. Kightlinger writes with grit and understanding about midwifery (whether lambing or birthing), but every aspect of her story is touched with the same mastery in prose laced with poetic phrases: the part in Megge’s scalp wanders like an old country road; a wounded woman walks like a sailor on a rolling sea; a cheek is soft as pudding; an angry child’s tongue is a rigid pink petal. Menace haunts the tale from its bucolic beginnings to its violent ends. Women healers are viewed as witches to be burned at the stake by zealots who believe healing is the province of priests alone – but the zealots are not what they seem, nor apparently is anyone else. The story unspools scene by chilling scene as mask after mask slips from character after character ranging from shepherds to earls. As Megge blossoms into a young woman, she finds romance in the arms of a weaver turned knight – and wisdom: What people don’t know, they fear. And what they fear, they hurt.
Kightlinger was performing colposcopies for the Amerindian women of Guyana, South America, bathing in rivers, boiling the water, and sleeping on the ground in tents, when an accident to her wrist rendered her unable to continue her work and deposited her among the tribe of scribblers to which she now so richly belongs. This would be a masterwork as the culmination of a series, but for a first novel, projected into a saga of three, it is simply stunning.”
--Boman Desai, author of The Memory of Elephants and TRIO, a Novel Biography of the Schumanns and Brahms

Megge of Bury DownApril 6, 2018 pursuingstacie
Some books you just have a spiritual connection with.
You know what I mean? I’m sure that if I ask you which book you’ve had a heart relationship with, you could immediately pull to mind a title or two (or twelve).
I was recently going through a period of pretty high anxiety, and really needed a story that I could just sink into. One that felt a little slower-paced. A little magical. A journey, more than an adventure.
Welcome to Megge of Bury Down by Rebecca Kightlinger.
Rebecca Kightlinger is a spell weaver. She has to be. Allow me to explain. First of all, every chapter was therapeutic. I was easily transported into each setting, each scene, each circumstance. You guys, I’m not even kidding. I could see everything, smell every herb, hear every conversation. I feel as though I met each of the women of Bury Down personally, and then let them set up residence in my heart-space. I didn’t read the book. I experienced it. And with each page, each escape, each passage with the women of Bury Down, I mended.
There is so much beauty in Megge of Bury Down, but there is an amazing amount of mystery. So often, I found myself thinking, “What on earth? What aren’t they telling Megge? Why is going on? No, that did NOT just happen!” and it was stinkin’ awesome.
And, as if that wasn’t enough, I was offered the amazing opportunity to interview the author. (You know that high-pitched squeal that only dogs can hear? Totally me, while thinking up questions for Rebecca Kightlinger.) Enjoy our little chat below!
To find out more about Rebecca Kightlinger, go here! Afterwards, buy Megge of Bury Down for yourself, your mom, your sister, your best friend, the librarian, the lady who fills your prescriptions, the woman who always says ‘hi’ at the bank and that gal you just met at work. Friends, trust me on this one. You will love it so. AND, it’s the first in the series. So, you kind of have to get it.
**A huge ‘thank you’ to Rebecca Kightlinger and Courtney Link for allowing me the privilege of reading and reviewing this book.

Bright blessings!
Those who are prolific readers are in for a real treat!
A new book was published recently, and let me tell you, it’s an exquisite read.
It’s called Megge of Bury Down, which is part of The Bury Down Chronicles by Rebecca Kightlinger and is set in Thirteenth Century Cornwall, England. It is magical, chock full of mystery, the Old Ways, and Family Traditions.
This book draws you in immediately, and Kightlinger’s descriptive narrative voice is so deep, you actually FEEL like you are THERE, watching in person. The firelight flickering in the darkness is so well detailed, you can almost smell the woodsmoke, and the faces of the women are so well described, you can almost reach out and touch them.
You need this book, like, yesterday. Step into Bury Down with Kightlinger’s book.

Where I share my love of reading with the world.
A whole universe of book reviews across multiple genres!
Katherine (Reviewer): katherinesbookuniverse.wordpress.com/2018/03/20/blog-tour-megge-of-bury-down/
Megge of Bury Down is a very detailed read about how Megge, a 6-year-old girl born in 13th century England, discovers her mother’s book of healing. Seven years pass, and she has 4 guardians Mother, Aunt Claris, Morwen, and Aleydis. Another thing she has is a constant conflict going on between her and her cousin Brighida. Right from the beginning, we are thrown straight into the action in the village and also see conflicts between villagers.
Megge is our narrator throughout this book, in which we see the impact and power of the Book of Seasons within the community, not just on Megge, but everyone around her as she fights for self-confidence, self-acceptance and self worth in a family dominated by her cousin Brigida’s status as “golden child.” Her mission is to keep the Book of Seasons from evil hands, but will she achieve her goal?
The attention to detail is fantastic and the story is so detailed and visual that it makes you focus and “get inside” the visual medieval world Rebecca Kightlinger creates. The characters are so varied, too.

What an interesting Read, happy to recommend Megge of Bury Down vol 1 of The Bury Down Chronicles for strong readers in upper middle grades, high school and adult readers who enjoy the fantasy genre. Book is a good choice for school and public libraries as well as for gifting a special niece or other reader of historical fiction.
I received a copy of the book from the publisher for review.
Stacie Tyson (Reviewer)
What an incredibly, magical novel! Megge of Bury Down is like a soft blanket on a rainy day, the scent of a lavender field on a summer morning, the sound of the wind high up in the trees. It wasn't a fast-paced book, so much as a beautiful journey. The characters were rich, deep, unique. Each had their own personality, their own space in the world, their own paths, their own wounds. There was quite a bit of mystery throughout the book, which kept me reading in my need to know the answers to the questions surrounding the plot. The author was incredible at setting the scene, painting the picture for the reader. I was able to sink into the novel, and watch as events unfolded.
I loved every single word of this book. It's one of those that I desperately need a physical copy of. I hope the next book in the series is quick to hit the shelves.

Kightlinger's historical fantasy immerses the reader in Medieval England. Engaging characters and a mysterious, conflict-filled plot make the novel a delightful read.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic book!
By Paul D February 11, 2018
Format: Paperback|
Wonderful! I loved the characters and the way they were developed. This book has everything I like: suspense, drama, and intrigue. Hard to put it down. I can't wait for Volume 2!!
Well written book that kept you interested until the end!
Feb 10, 2018 Margaret DiPastina rated it 5 stars
I am trying so hard not to finish this book too quickly BUT I CAN'T STOP READING! I promise myself I'll only read one or two chapters and then BAM I've read 10! I love getting to know the characters, learning their lineage and watching them follow their destinies.
I think the addition of the online link (https://www.burydownchronicles.com/ch...) to maps and name/location pronunciations was a fantastic idea!
Looking forward to volume 2!

Really liked it
I picked up this book and due to school reading and work, could NOT finish it as fast as I would have liked. Given the option, I would have sat reading this book all day and all night until getting to the conclusion. Having finished it, I am now sad as it is the first in a series and I am eager to get to the next phase in the world of Megge. This book is unconventional in its portrayal of strong women in the 13th century in England. The story centers around a group of healers, Megge being our protagonist. She is raised to become the heir to a book of healing but is struggling against her birthright. This is a wonderful envisioning of self-acceptance, learning to come to terms with what is expected of you, and strong female characters. I greatly enjoyed the opportunity to read something so outside of the norm and would be intrigued to read other books in this same vein.
This book was provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
"...Megge is a protagonist easy to fall in love with, to root for, to worry about, and when dark forces enter her world Kightlinger’s storytelling abilities shine. "
David Anthony Durham, author of Pride of Carthage
"... Kightlinger's heroine rallies supernatural strength and all matter of healing arts to find her path toward protecting books, the land, and most of all her fellow women... Readers will not forget the women of Bury Down."
Elizabeth Searle, author of We Got Him and librettist for Tonya and Nancy: The Rock Opera
"...As the timeless tale of the coming of age of Megge of Bury Down unfolds through the centuries, it offers readers a truth as unchanging as change: that accepting ourselves is the key to claiming our power."
Annie Finch, author of Among the Goddesses
"...This would be a masterwork as the culmination of a series, but for a first novel, projected into a saga of three, it is simply stunning."
Boman Desai, author of The Memory of Elephants and TRIO, a Novel Biography of the Schumanns and Brahms

Bank of England can unwind QE without hurting economy-Vlieghe
Tue, Sep 25, 2018 - 10:00 PM
The Bank of England can reverse its huge bond-buying stimulus programme without sharply pushing up long-term interest rates and hurting the economy, as long it explains the plan properly and moves only gradually, a top BoE policymaker said on Tuesday.
[LONDON] The Bank of England can reverse its huge bond-buying stimulus programme without sharply pushing up long-term interest rates and hurting the economy, as long it explains the plan properly and moves only gradually, a top BoE policymaker said on Tuesday.
Gertjan Vlieghe said the careful messages sent out by the US Federal Reserve about the reversal of its quantitative easing (QE) programme had avoided sending the wrong signals about how fast it will wean the US economy off its crisis-era stimulus.
The BoE said in June it might start to unwind the £435 billion (S$779.6 billion) of government bonds it has amassed since the financial crisis once its benchmark interest rate reaches 1.5 per cent, double its current level.
"Understanding the main channels through which QE works is going to be very important when it comes to unwinding QE," Mr Vlieghe, one of the central bank's nine monetary policymakers, said in a speech at Imperial College in London on Tuesday.
His speech challenged the BoE's view that QE works mostly through "portfolio rebalancing," or the idea that a central bank's government bond purchases force investors to buy other assets like corporate bonds, helping the economy.
SEE ALSO: BOE issues fresh warning on risk from funds with illiquid assets
Mr Vliehge argued that QE shaped expectations of future policy steps which "implies that unwinding QE need not have a material impact on the shape of the yield curve, or indeed on the economy, if properly communicated and done gradually".
JP Morgan economist Allan Monks said Mr Vlieghe had presented a new case for the view among policymakers that QE had a more powerful impact on pushing rates down when a central bank buys bonds than on pushing rates up when the purchases are unwound.
Mr Vlieghe said economists should look back into history for where rates might be heading.
He said the yield curve - the difference between the return on short and long-term debt - had been flat in the period before World War One, when the gold standard was still in force.
Since the BoE was granted independence in 1997, Britain's inflation and inflation risk fundamentals had been more similar to the gold standard period than the 20th century average.
"So we should expect yield curves to be flat again on average," he said.
He repeated his view that one or two interest rates hikes a year would be needed for the BoE to meet its 2 per cent inflation target.

Is Jordan Single After 'Bachelor In Paradise?' His Showmance Got Pretty Complicated
By Kayla Blanton
Everyone knows that the beaches of Mexico on Bachelor in Paradise are intentionally decorated in the sexiest of ways to get the love flowing between contestants. After all, they're all in attendance for the same reason: to give the heart what it wants. And what better way to do it than on a daybed adorned with endless pillows while watching the waves come in? Yep, the daybeds are notoriously hot spots for getting frisky. And while most of the suitors eventually make their way toward one, Jordan and Jenna didn't waste any time. The two were inseparable from the moment Jenna came down the stairs and onto the beach, so the real question is, are they still together, or is Jordan single after Bachelor in Paradise?
The latest episodes in paradise welcomed another familiar face to the show to stir things up a bit, including Jenna and Jordan's relationship. Benoit — the second neighbor from the North to join this season of Paradise — is giving the Bachelor franchise yet another shot at finding his person after his oh-so-sad breakup with Clare Crawley from Bachelor Winter Games earlier this year. He was greeted with a date card upon entering, and who did he take? Jenna, of course. And they really hit it off.
As expected, when Jenna agreed to go on the date with Benoit, Jordan wasn't happy. The date was even sealed with a kiss — so what does that mean for Jordan? After his outburst the night before when Chris gifted Jenna a huge teddy bear, she seems to rightfully be on the fence about him.
There's a chance he might still come out on top, because there have been reports that Jordan left Paradise a happy, taken guy. “I do find someone for me in paradise," he told the Citrus County Chronicle. "It ends on a very good note.” So that can give viewers hope that Jenna and Jordan reunite in the end.
After all, he told Us Weekly he was looking for a "blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl," and Jenna definitely checks those boxes. He also said he needed someone as outgoing as he is — it's as if he was just describing Jenna, and Jenna alone. “Personality, I need someone that’s fun. I need someone that’s spontaneous, outgoing," he said. "Someone that’s not afraid of being themself. Someone that’s got humility. Someone that’s well-spoken, that’s very educated. They can be satirical, say things, be a smart ass kind of deal. I’m not really looking for someone just like me, but if you could be very similar to me and a little more sassy, then we’re good to go.” Is that, or is that not Jenna to a T? He even referred to her as a "California dream kind of style: blonde hair, blue eyes."
It has also been reported that Jenna may have left paradise with love. "My journey to find love will be a whole lot hotter in Mexico," she told the News & Observer. "Full of tears, smiles, drinks, kisses, bikinis, burritos and repeat!" So, if they're not together after filming, at least they got some kisses and a burrito out of the whole deal.

Payment in Blood
4 (15,645 ratings by Goodreads)
By (author) Elizabeth A George , Read by Derek George Jacobi
The career of playwright Joy Sinclair comes to a rather abrupt end on an isolated estate in the Scottish Highlands when someone drives an eighteen-inch dirk through her neck. Called upon to investigate the case in a country with virtually no authority, the aristocratic Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley and his partner, Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers, grapple for both a motive and a murderer.
Emotions run deep in this highly charged drama, for the list of suspects soon includes Britain's foremost actress, its most successful theatrical producer, and the woman Lynley loves. He and Havers must tread carefully over the complicated terrain of human relationships, while they work to solve a case rooted in the darkest corners of the past and the unexplored regions of the human heart.

Heresy (Paperback)
By Melissa Lenhardt
(LAST CHANCE)
"An all-out women-driven, queer, transgender, multiracial takeover of the Old West . . . and that's exactly what Melissa Lenhardt delivers in her unapologetically badass western, Heresy." - New York Times
"Lenhardt has created a bold new story where women have taken their rightful place in the narrative of the Outlaw Western genre; where wit, wisdom and wiles could mean the difference between life and death, and where the fellowship of women bested every challenge." - Kathleen Kent
Margaret Parker and Hattie LaCour never intended to turn outlaw.
After being run off their ranch by a greedy cattleman, their family is left destitute. As women alone they have few choices: marriage, lying on their backs for money, or holding a gun. For Margaret and Hattie the choice is simple. With their small makeshift family, the gang pulls off a series of heists across the West.
Though the newspapers refuse to give the female gang credit, their exploits don't go unnoticed. Pinkertons are on their trail, a rival male gang is determined to destroy them, and secrets among the group threaten to tear them apart. Now, Margaret and Hattie must find a way to protect their family, finish one last job, and avoid the hangman's noose.
"Readers who relish an unusual narrative structure will enjoy this unique take on the traditional western." - Booklist

Sawbones
Melissa Lenhardt is the author of Heresy, the Sawbones historical fiction series, and the Jack McBride mystery series. Her debut mystery, Stillwater, was a finalist for the 2014 Whidbey Writers' MFA Alumni Emerging Writers Contest, and Sawbones, her historical fiction debut, was hailed as a "thoroughly original, smart and satisfying hybrid, perhaps a new sub-genre: the feminist Western" by Lone Star Literary Life. She lives in Texas with her husband, two sons, and two Golden Retrievers.
"[An] unapologetically badass western . . . . Mayhem ensues. There will be shootouts and standoffs. There will be rotgut whiskey and weary horses. There will be cattle rustlers and scores to settle. The only difference is that women get all the action. It's about time."—New York Times
"Melissa Lenhardt has created a bold new story where women have taken their rightful place in the narrative of the Outlaw Western genre; where wit, wisdom and wiles could mean the difference between life and death, and where the fellowship of women bested every challenge."—Kathleen Kent, author of The Heretic's Daughter
"Readers who relish an unusual narrative structure will enjoy this unique take on the traditional western."
"Heresy is the feminist Western I never knew I wanted . . . . It's fun and fast paced and I was completely hooked from the first page. Completely perfect."—Book Riot
"A rollicking, engrossing book that'll keep you reading well past your bedtime."—BookPage
"This story is written at a gallop, with so many plots overlapping, that the reader will be fully engaged . . . . Heresy is a Wild West epic, with heroes that have largely been written out of history."—Historical Novel Society
"Packs a big punch with grit and raw passion. There is mystery, murder, Indians, bounty hunters and intrigue. The women are brave, intelligent and don't take crap from anyone. Lenhardt is a talented, creative writer; she has a grand slam out of the park with Sawbones."—RT Book Reviews (Top Pick!) 4.5 stars on Sawbones
"Raw, gritty and sometimes graphic, Melissa Lenhardt has crafted a page-turner. In Sawbones, the women are smart, brave and at times 'incorrigible.' The plot twists, unique characters and intriguing story of passion and betrayal make this a book well worth discovering."—Jane Kirkpatrick, New York Times bestselling author of A Light in the Wilderness on Sawbones
"Melissa Lenhardt has given us an amazing heroine and sent her on a thrilling journey from the teeming streets of New York City to the vast wilderness of the Texas frontier. Dr. Catherine Bennett's adventure will keep you turning pages long into the night!"—Victoria Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of Murder on St. Nicholas Avenue, on Sawbones
"You will fall in love with Catherine, as I did, as she struggles to assert herself in a violent and treacherous world, fighting not only prejudice but evil. Melissa Lenhardt's heroine is a passionate, compassionate woman, who must deal with Indians and bounty hunters, fear and injustice -- and even love."—Sandra Dallas, New York Times bestselling author, on Sawbones
"Sawbones is a thoroughly original, smart and satisfying hybrid, perhaps a new subgenre: the feminist Western."—Lone Star Literary Life on Sawbones

Streampunks: YouTube and the Rebels Remaking Media (Hardcover)
FREE 7-10 DAY SHIPPING ON ANY ORDER OVER $50!
By Robert Kyncl, Maany Peyvan
Kobo eBook (September 4th, 2017): $14.99
Compact Disc (September 5th, 2017): $59.99
MP3 CD (September 5th, 2017): $39.99
An entertainment and tech insider—YouTube’s chief business officer—delivers the first detailed account of the rise of YouTube, the creative minds who have capitalized on it to become pop culture stars, and how streaming video is revolutionizing the media world.
In the past ten years, the internet video platform YouTube has changed media and entertainment as profoundly as the invention of film, radio, and television did, more than six decades earlier. Streampunks is a firsthand account of this upstart company, examining how it evolved and where it will take us next.
Sharing behind-the-scenes stories of YouTube’s most influential stars—Streampunks like Tyler Oakley, Lilly Singh, and Casey Neistat—and the dealmakers brokering the future of entertainment like Scooter Braun and Shane Smith, Robert Kyncl uses his experiences at three of the most innovative media companies, HBO, Netflix, and YouTube, to tell the story of streaming video and this modern pop culture juggernaut. Collaborating with Google speechwriter Maany Peyvan, Kyncl explains how the new rules of entertainment are being written and how and why the media landscape is radically changing, while giving aspiring Streampunks some necessary advice to launch their own new media careers.
Kyncl persuasively argues that, despite concerns about technology impoverishing artists or undermining artistic quality, the new media revolution is actually fueling a creative boom and leading to more compelling, diverse, and immersive content. Enlightening, surprising, and thoroughly entertaining, Streampunks is a revelatory ride through the new media rebellion that is reshaping our world.
Robert Kyncl is the Chief Business Officer at YouTube where he oversees all commercial and creative relationships for the platform. Previously, Robert was Vice President of Content at Netflix, where he spearheaded the company’s content acquisition for streaming TV shows and movies over the Internet.
Robert has been listed in Variety’s Dealmakers Impact Report as one of their “disruptors”, Vanity Fair’s New Establishment List, Billboard’s Power 100 List and AdWeek’s 50 List of Vital Leaders in Tech, Media and Marketing.
Robert holds a Masters of Business Administration from Pepperdine University and a B.S. in International Relations from SUNY New Paltz. He resides in Los Angeles with his wife and two daughters.
“Robert’s vision is clear and compelling: the future of media will be one in which fans decide what matters.”
— Reed Hastings
“Discovering YouTube was the happiest accident of my life. It’s allowed me to share my comedy with the world and reach an entirely new global audience. Fans have even told me they’ve learned English from watching my show on YouTube—which is a mistake.”
— Conan O’Brien
“If you want to understand how media is changing, you need to understand YouTube. Streampunks is a fascinating look into the imaginative and determined minds of the people who are changing what we watch.”
— Brian Grazer
“Thinking of starting your own new media career? Read Streampunks first. It’s a revealing, thoughtful portrait of what success in the digital age really takes.”
— Michelle Phan
“I grew up in Cuba without access to the Internet. When I finally came to the United States, YouTube became my window to the world. Streampunks is an amazing description of experiences similar to mine.”
— Camilla Cabello

Misery, and Hope, In a Poor People’s Court: ProPublica Talks With Abigail Kramer
“The courthouse is dismal in the particular way of municipal buildings that serve the very poor. The walls and floors are scuffed. The ceiling is a low patchwork of industrial foam squares. There are no windows to the outside. For a place that deals in the problems of families, it’s remarkably difficult to navigate with kids…. At 10 a.m. on a recent Friday morning, about 30 people sat on benches, wearing the vaguely taxidermied look of those who expect to wait for a very long time.”
This bleak portrait of a reception area in the Bronx Family Court opens the Center for New York City Affairs’ vivid new report “Is Reform Finally Coming to New York City Family Court?” Last week, reporter Joaquin Sapien of ProPublica, the Pulitzer Prize-winning independent, non-profit investigative news organization, asked the report’s author, Abigail Kramer, about her work, including her views on the latest push to speed the notoriously glacial pace of child protective cases in Family Court. Here are excerpts; to read the full interview, go to: https://www.propublica.org/article/the-trials-of-new-yorks-family-court. And to read the Center’s full Family Court report, go to: centernyc.org/family-court.
ProPublica: In your report, you note the cynicism built up over years of pledges to reform the family court system. Does this [newest] effort truly feel different? Why?
Kramer: I think there are good reasons to be optimistic. Five years ago, you could have walked into any child protective courtroom in the city and seen that it was contending with impossible circumstances. Judges had five or six hearings scheduled for the same time slot. Lawyers were running from courtroom to courtroom, missing trials. Families sat in waiting rooms all day. When things are so frenetic, it’s impossible to stop and think about what would work better — either for a particular family or for the system as a whole.
Now, you still see absurd levels of dysfunction and delay but there’s been some relief, and Family Court administrators seem determined to capitalize on it. If there’s ever been an optimal time to make the court work better, it’s now.
ProPublica: What struck you most about your time in Family Court? Is there a detail or anecdote that haunts you personally?
Kramer: Family Court is a sad, surreal place. What haunts me most is not any particular incident, but the cumulative disrespect that we, as a society, show to poor families — and especially poor mothers. I wrote about a woman raising four kids under age 8 in a Bronx homeless shelter. Her case started when she got sick during her most recent pregnancy and stopped taking the oldest to school. In the course of the city’s investigation, she was ordered to take parenting classes, get therapy for herself and the kids, and enroll her younger children in pre-k and daycare.
So now, she spends her weeks dragging her kids to appointments and drop-offs in three different boroughs, often without help getting train fare. The morning I met her, she had walked the entire family two miles from their homeless shelter to the courthouse. When they arrived, the kids were beautifully turned out — hair done, clothes freshly pressed, smiling and cheerful — but their jackets had holes where mice in the shelter had chewed through them.
If we really care about those kids so much, why is their shelter crawling with mice? And why wouldn’t we just help their mother get them to school? I’m a parent with a steady income and other resources, and God knows I need help sometimes. But it’s nearly unfathomable that a social worker would walk into my life and tell me I have to go to therapy or face the threat of losing my kids.
Yes, there are parents that need intervention in order to keep children safe, but when you spend time in Family Court, it’s painfully clear that we apply a level of scrutiny to poor families that the rest of us would never tolerate. And our disdain is reflected in every piece of the process, from the dismal state of waiting rooms to the quality of social services to the time it takes to get a trial.
ProPublica: You note the addition of nine new judges in 2015 — the first increase in 20 years. Is that enough? Does the math really get better?
Kramer: The big-picture answer is no, it’s not nearly enough. Family Court makes spectacularly high-stakes decisions (“Will you ever see your mother again?”) about some of New York’s most vulnerable residents. It’s chronically overburdened and under-resourced. Nine new judges won’t come close to making it function in a way that would be accepted in any system serving people with money or power.

DC Council Restores Streetcar Funding
by Borderstan.com May 27, 2010 at 7:00 am 1,305 3 Comments
The first streetcars since 1962 are schedule to hit DC tracks in 2012 on the H Street-Benning Road NE line. The Anacostia line comes next in Phase 1 of the city plans. Phase 2 plans show lines on U Street and 14th Street NW. (Luis Gomez Photos)
After DC Council Chairman Vincent Gray changed his mind, the DC Council reversed itself yesterday and restored fiscal year 2011 funding for work on the H Street-Benning Road NE portion of DC’s new streetcar system.
Earlier in the day, the Council voted 11 to 2 to remove $50 million in streetcar funding as part of efforts to close a $550 million budget gap.
The Washington Post describes the scenario that led to Gray’s change of heart:
But hours later — after a backlash from at least one member of Congress and hundreds of residents who jammed government phone lines, community e-mail groups and Gray’s Web site — the late-night maneuver had been scrapped. By midday Wednesday, Gray was back at the council dais, telling his colleagues that he and city finance officials had found $50 million to keep the streetcar program on track.
Mayor Adrian Fenty strongly supports the planned 37-mile system and the first part of the line is scheduled to open in fall 2012, the H Street-Benning Road NE line. Gray is Fenty’s main challenger in the September 14 Democratic primary for mayor. Gray’s campaign released a statement yesterday afternoon regarding Gray’s support of the new streetcar system.
The next section of Phase 1s the Anacostia line. Phase 2 of the city’s streetcar plans (DDoT map) put tracks in the Logan Circle-U Street area–on 14th Street and U Street NW. The last tracks of DC’s first streetcar system were removed in 1962.
The DC Council is also under great pressure to maintain levels of social services spending as it figures out ways to balance next year’s budget–groups demanding no cuts in social services were at the DC Council Tuesday.

An outbreak of a rare salmonella strain in NSW may be the source of the infection at a Victorian poultry farm that prompted an egg recall across several states. Some brands of free-range and barn-laid eggs with particular use-by dates have been recalled across NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia after a food poisoning outbreak. The source of the infection was traced to Victoria's Bridgewater Poultry, which is in quarantine as authorities investigate. "A potential link to a recent outbreak of salmonella enteritidis in people in NSW is currently being investigated as the source of infection," Victoria's Chief Veterinary Officer Dr Charles Milne said on Friday. But egg farming experts estimate the business could lose millions if forced to cull the several hundred thousand birds on the farm. "It's an estimate but they could lose up to $10 million if they culled all the birds," Victorian Farmers Federation eggs group Vice-President Brian Ahmed said on Friday. He said authorities had already culled flocks in the shed where they found the virus but veterinarians could order all the birds destroyed if the virus spread. "If they cull the whole farm, supply will be affected," he said. While not sure about exact numbers Mr Ahmed said there were around 500,000 to 600,000 birds at the farm. The four families who own the poultry farm have been devastated by the detection. "It's just a horrific time for them," he said. Droppings from migratory wild birds may be responsible for spreading salmonella bacteria according to some in the industry. "It may have come from a migrating wild bird that can bring in this strain and infect the flock," he told AAP on Friday. Symptoms of salmonella enteritidis include fever, headache, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and nausea. They usually start six to 72 hours after eating the contaminated food and can last up to a week. The company's free-range and barn-laid eggs are packaged as Woolworths brand, Victorian Fresh, and Loddon Valley, with best-before dates ranging from March 20 to April 29. Australian Associated Press

Vic salmonella egg scare linked to NSW

A Victorian poultry farm faces a massive bird cull after a salmonella threat led to an egg recall.
An outbreak of a rare salmonella strain in NSW may be the source of the infection at a Victorian poultry farm that prompted an egg recall across several states.

These Instagram Photos of Britney Spears With Her Sons Show What She’s Really Like as a Mom
Lauren Weiler
She’s known for her contagious pop music and effortless dancing, but it hasn’t always been an easy road for Britney Spears. We remember her head-shaving breakdown and failed relationships that made national headlines. But through it all, she’s come out stronger than ever. And raising her two sons has helped her stay grounded during the toughest times.
Here are the Instagram photos of Britney with her kids that show her ultra-loving side, as well as the one photo that shows just how much they look like their father, Kevin Federline (page 7).
1. Britney makes time for art with her boys

It’s hard to believe how much her sons have grown. Here, we see Britney painting with Jayden James, 11, and Sean Preston, 12, outside on a gorgeous day. We’re not too surprised by this, as Britney’s always loved the arts. And it seems to be good for her mental health, too, as in the photo, she says, “Painting feels so therapeutic to me! Getting to do this with my boys on a beautiful day like this is such a blessing!”
We’re hoping she’s taking some time to herself, especially since her sons’ father, Kevin, is requesting way more money in child support.
Next: Her kids aren’t the only family she spends time with.
2. She takes plenty of time with both her kids and her mom
Britney Spears with her kids and her mother | Britney Spears via Instagram
In April 2017, Britney posted this adorable photo of her and her mom swimming with her two sons. Though she’s said before to People that “the balance between work and my personal life can be a challenge,” she certainly seems to schedule in plenty of time with both her kids and the rest of her family.
We’re glad her mother, Lynne Spears, is making an appearance, too. We remember back in 2008 when Lynne said she should be blamed for her daughter’s infamous meltdown. We imagine this may have strained their relationship.
Next: Her sons look really happy in this photo.
3. Britney shows the importance of a much-needed beach day

From her intense workouts to her pop star status, we wonder how she makes time for beach days with her sons.
Clearly, she makes it work, though — and her kids look super excited to be there with her. “My kids come first, always,” Britney told People. “There is nothing more rewarding than being a mom and watching my sons grow into young men.”
Next: This photo totally shows how she and her kids feel about animals.
4. She’s a total dog person, and so are her kids

As if co-parenting with two sons wasn’t enough, the Spears family also has a dog. As she comments on this funny photo, “Going for a walk with my son and the dog always does wonders for my mood.”
Though we’ve seen family and dogs in these photos, there’s one person noticeably absent from her Instagram — and that’s Kevin Federline. They aren’t together, but People notes Britney and Kevin attend sporting events together with the kids from time to time. Perhaps since Kevin’s demanding more money from his ex, though, the days of niceties have passed.
Next: What does a holiday in Britney’s household look like? We have a clue.
5. Holidays are best spent together
Britney Spears’ family at Thanksgiving | Britney Spears via Instagram
It seems Britney loves a good homecooked meal and family time at her house when it comes to the holidays. As she says in her Instagram photo, “My favorite boys at my house for Thanksgiving!!!!”
These family photos put a smile on our face even more so because we know what Britney’s been through in the past with her kids. The Huffington Post reminds us that her former bodyguard accused her of child abuse multiple times in the past. Though she wasn’t convicted, we’re sure the allegations stung. Now, however, her household seems happier than ever.
Next: She loves getting goofy with her sons, too.
6. Getting silly is always on the agenda

Like the funny mom she is, playing with Snapchat filters is a must. Here, we see Britney and her son hanging out together with the dog filter on. She asks him, “Baby, what are you going to be when you grow up?” He sweetly replies, “I’m gonna be president of the dog states!”
As she’s noted before, Britney loves spending as much time with her sons as she can before they’re all grown up. “We have a lot of fun together,” she told People. We see how true that is here.
Next: You can see the resemblance to their father in this one.
7. Britney says her kids are bigger than her now in this adorable photo
Fans of the pop star are loving this sweet recent photo of Britney and her boys. It’s a simple one, but they all look happy to be together. With the photo, she posted, “Love when we go to our favorite spot on Sundays. The boys are bigger than me now!!!!!”
They sure have grown up fast. And now that they’re older, we can see the striking resemblance to their father, too.
Next: She’s not afraid to change up her style for her sons.
8. Her sons get to meet famous musicians thanks to her connections
Britney Spears and family with Skrillex | Britney Spears via Instagram
Living in the spotlight isn’t always easy. And Britney’s had her fair share of breakdowns under the public eye. We are happy to see that there’s one perk she takes advantage of, however — and that’s that her kids get to meet some of the most famous people in the industry.
Here, we see her and her little ones posing with Skrillex a few years back. Not only that, but we love their matching blue hair dye, which we’re betting they did together, too.
Next: She’s passing off some of her skills to her sons.
9. She shows off her dance moves
Britney Spears and her sons | Britney Spears via Instagram
Britney isn’t only known for her catchy tunes. She’s also an incredible dancer and keeps up with a seriously strict workout routine to stay in shape for her shows. It’s only natural, then, that she’d show off some moves with her sons, no matter how silly the photo is.
She has videos, too, of how she loves to stay active with her kids. And it’s not just about fitness. Britney has expressed before that she loves “watching these boys succeed when they put their minds to something.” Sounds like they’ll grow to be just as strong-willed as their amazing mom.

Archbishop ordains six new deacons in Canterbury Cathedral on Saturday
← Kent is Delicious competition winners
Final of ‘Kent is Delicious’ food competition won by St. George’s CEP school in Wrotham →
Five men and one woman, including three teachers, a Church Army worker, a Chaplain to a young offenders’ unit and an HR professional turned self-employed face-painter became new Church of England curates at a special Ordination Service in Canterbury Cathedral on Saturday 4 July. Ten others were ordained priest at a Cathedral service later the same day.
Within the Church of England there are three stages of ordained ministry: deacons, priests and bishops. Following training at theological college, newly ordained deacons are appointed to a three to four year post of curate, for training alongside an experienced vicar. After one year, deacons are ordained priest.
The following six people were ordained as deacons by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby and the Bishop of Dover, Trevor Willmott, in Canterbury Cathedral at 11.00 am on Saturday 4 July:
Name Benefice
Christopher Richard Terence Denyer (S) Bethersden with High Halden and Woodchurch
Mark Andrew Pavey (S) Maidstone, St Paul
Peter James Newell (SSM) Kennington
Captain Stephen (Steve) Paul Plumb CA (SSM) The Six
Dr Steven Robert Sivyer (S) Marden
Paulette Joanne Stubbings (S 0.5) Boughton under Blean with Dunkirk and Hernhill
Stipendiary (S); Self-Supporting Minister (SSM)
Information about the deacons
Chris Denyer
Chris, a primary school teacher since 2002, and father of four, describes his call to ordained ministry as shocking as if he was called to be an astronaut: “One day I was taking a class of children into the local church for an Easter service when I suddenly saw the whole church filled with a bright light, everyone faded away and I heard a voice clearly tell me that I was to “work here”… it took a few years to unpick this surreal experience! I wasn’t yet a regular church goer – it was as if I was told to go and be an astronaut!”
Chris, an amateur novelist with a passion for drama and storytelling, will be serving his curacy at Bethersden with High Halden and Woodchurch. He said: “I am particularly looking forward to sharing the Bible in our village schools and hearing and being a part of the stories of the communities, whether they are of pain or joy.”
Mark Pavey
Mark, who will be serving his curacy at St Paul’s Maidstone, says that his wife and family discerned Mark’s call to ordained ministry, long before he recognised it.
Before attending theological college, Mark worked as a youth worker, schools’ worker and more latterly as a Chaplain to a Secure Training Centre working with young offenders. During his working life, Mark says his passion for helping each person to know Jesus, and understand his saving works, has intensified.
The father of two added: “I am genuinely excited about the prospect of serving as Deacon over the next year and as priest in the years ahead of that.”
Peter Newell
Peter, a teacher of music and RE for around thirty years, will be serving his curacy as a self-supporting curate at St Mary’s Kennington.
Looking forward to moving out of what he describes as ‘the micro-society found in schools’, into the wider society of a parish, Peter commented: “I am looking forward to coming alongside people at all stages of life. I am looking forward to working with the people of Kennington in sharing the joy and the excitement in the gospel of our Lord Jesus.”
Motivated by a desire to help people know Jesus and find meaning in their lives, he said: “I think it is so sad that an increasing number of people in western societies like ours have lost touch with God. Each generation has less basic knowledge of Jesus and the love and joy that he brings. They are struggling to find anything to give meaning to their lives. I believe it is vital and our duty as Christians to carry the message to them, to seek ways to help them be open to the workings of God and his Holy Spirit.”
A transport enthusiast, Peter has been married to Alison for 25 years.
Stephen Plumb
Stephen became a Christian aged 24 and just three years later became a Church Army Evangelist, a ministry that has lasted 25 years.
Most recently, Stephen has spent five years helping to develop a new worshiping community at All Saints Iwade, near Sittingbourne.
Stephen who loves MG cards, cycling and running believes his new role of Deacon is affirming what ‘already is’. “This is a very positive sign to me personally, to the church at Iwade and the wider community of the Dioceses, and more importantly God’s favour. It will also open new opportunities for mission.”
Stephen is being ordained deacon the same that his son, Stuart, is being ordained priest at St Paul’s Kingston Hill in London Diocese.
Steven Sivyer
Steven, a professional musician and former head teacher who most recently led a team of educational advisers for Medway Council, will serve his curacy at Marden.
Having studied for his degree at the Royal College of Music, Steven plays the organ and piano, conducts choirs and composes music, mainly for church and cathedral settings. In addition to freelance playing across Europe, Steven has spent most of his life ministering through music in local parishes and deputizing in cathedrals. Most recently, Steven was the Director of Music at Faversham Parish Church from 2000 until his training for ordination in 2012.
Steven, who is married to Emma, with whom he has two children, is looking forward to serve and immersing himself in the community of Marden.
Paulette Stubbings
Paulette, who will become a curate in Boughton-Under-Blean with Dunkirk, Hernhill and Graveney, describes her call to become a vicar a ‘curve ball’.
After volunteering in her local church where various people suggested she explore ordained ministry, Paulette attended a Diocesan Vocations day. She says: “I attended really with the aim of knocking the idea on the head once and for all but found myself instead tentatively accepting that perhaps God was calling me to serve in this way.”
Previously an HR professional, stay-at-home mum and pre-school nursery assistant, Paulette also had a spell running her own business as a face-painter at parties and supporting her husband in his photography business.
A lover of Scandinavian crime dramas, Paulette is looking forward to her new ministry: “I love it when opportunities arise for Church and community to work together, and helping people connect with God and one another in the highs, the lows and the every-day of life.”
Six Deacons to be Ordained Priest
On the afternoon of Saturday 4 July, the Bishop of Dover, the Right Reverend Trevor Willmott, ordained as priests, ten deacons who have served one year of their curacy, at a service at 5pm in Canterbury Cathedral.
Dr Jonathan (John) Paul Huggins (S) Kingsdown and Creekside
Kevin David Jacobs (SSM) Tunstall and Bredgar
Dr Ivan Patricio Khovacs (SSM) Willesborough with Sevington
Paul Anthony Kite (S) West Sheppey
Estella Ruth Last (S) Herne
Joanna Sue Richards (S 0.5) Canterbury, St Martin and St Paul
Dawn Caroline Stamper (SSM) Willesborough with Sevington
Catherine Ann Wilson (S 0.5) Biddenden and Smarden
Fabian Rene Marc Wuyts (S) Whitstable
Simon Robert Young (S) i) Faversham, St Mary of Charity
ii) The Brents and Davington
iii) Ospringe
Further Information from: Emily Shepherd, Director of Communications, 07876 210 446
