how to stop wanting someone you can't have
Apr 9 2018 Andrew Zaeh for Bustle Falling in love is something that so many people have experienced, but remains a sensation that's almost impossible to put your finger on. Despite endless songs, plays, TV shows, poems, and pretty much every art form ever trying to describe what falling in love is really like, it's still not exactly clear how you fall in love. But being in love is more complex and mature than all of that. Those things are only a small part of the big love picture. But when you fall in love, when you actually go through the process, is it something that "happens" to you whether you like it or not, or is it something that you're actively choosing.

loving someone you can't have songs
By Paul Hudson Mar 25 2014 Love is a tricky thing. It varies in intensity and in the specificity of emotions. It is sometimes the most beautiful thing in the world and, at other times, it's the most horrid thing we've ever come face-to-face with. It's odd how one thing could be the cause of so many contrary feelings. But that's what makes love so beautiful — it's the closest thing to perfection that exists in the world, the only thing that can easily and comfortably encompass both good and evil, beautiful and ugly.

First-year dorms struck with ‘Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes’ epidemic
Grizz's Toe March 7, 2019 no commentdormsHeadKnees and ToesShoulderssong

“I feel … I feel … I feel …,” junior Resident Assistant (RA) Gretchen Garten, with dazed eyes, said. Garten did not finish her sentence, but began catatonically speaking the lyrics to well-known children’s song “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.”
Garten is an RA for Seward, a first-year residence hall. After a Seward resident with a lot of social capital watched a popular Tik Tok user perform an EDM version of “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” the song has captivated the entire hall. Garten, however, is less than amused. “I did not know what I was getting into when I applied for … when I signed up for … when I committed to be an R … head, shoulders … knees and toes, knees and toes. Head shoulders, knees and toes, knees and to-o-o-o-oes, eyes and ears and mouth and nose, head shoulders knees and toes knees and toes,” Garten said.
Garten is not alone in her “Head Shoulders Knees and Toes” demoralization. First-year Allen Allens is furious about the trend. “I told myself that when I came to college I would stay true to my values, and I wouldn’t morph into this generic conglomeration of all of my peers, but … shoulders knees and toes knees and toes and knees and eyes and knees and toes and mouth and nose,” Allens said.
It took Allens an hour to emerge from his trendy trance. “Before I left Doxville –– just a little town 30 minutes from San Francisco –– my dad said, ‘Allen, you’re different from the other kids; you’re better, faster, stronger, and son, stay that way.’ I feel like I’ve let him down.”
After thorough research on the outbreak, Counseling Health and Wellness Services (CHWS) doctor Amy Adams has determined the way it spreads. “We’ve done intensive studies on first-years and peer pressure,” Adams said. “Studies show that if 30 percent of a first-year’s close friends drink, that first-year has a 70 percent chance of underage drinking. If 50 percent of a first-year’s close friends engage in recreational drug use, that first-year is 55 percent more likely to engage in recreational drug use. However, if a first-year knows ONE person who sings ‘Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes,’ that student is 100 percent likely to become enamored by the song.”
As explained by Adams, the reason this trend is so palpably harmful is because it is incredibly, incredibly contagious. If one person begins singing it, they will infect everyone within earshot. Several RAs have been forced into the position of “medic” and may go on strike.
“We honestly do not know how to cure this condition,” Adams said. “I think the first-year dorms will continue to be infected until a new music trend arrives. We’ve tried a number of things: getting other children’s songs stuck in the heads of our first-years, an exorcism by Chaplain Dave Wright, but none of these tactics have worked.” The CHWS staff is currently hosting daily vigils to pray for the emergence of a new Tik Tok trend.
Until a new trend appears, CHWS has instructed all people with “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” to stay inside their room and listen to songs that do not mention bodies at all.

Articles written by: Kim Grant
After growing up listening to Dolly, Merle and Willie, Kim Grant spent the 90’s immersed in the Chicago indie rock scene. Spending many nights at the famed (now-defunct) venue Lounge Ax, bands like Bad Livers, Giant Sand, Handsome Family, Palace Brothers and Wilco turned her on to what was then called Alt-Country. After moving to Los Angeles in 2000, she found this same feeling of musical community at a tiny west side bar called The Cinema Bar where she met artists, Mike Stinson, Randy Weeks, Tony Gilkyson, Ramsay Midwood, and Kip Boardman. These talented folks spurred her enthusiasm for the Southern California roots music scene and the Americana music scene as a whole. Now a music publicist, Grant (alongside Liz Garo and Pam Moore) founded the Los Angeles, weekly roots music series, The Grand Ole Echo in 2005. Also with Garo, Grant helped to curate the Roots Roadhouse American-roots music festival in both 2011 and 2012. Also in 2011 she began co-producing a SXSW day party with Julie Richmond titled, Grand Ole Austin which is still going strong. Visit TJ West on fb and kgmusicpress.com.

My Elusive Dream
Sir Thomas More had his tongue in his cheek when he wrote about Utopia. He was kidding when he described his “perfect” island where everything was ideal. The very name, utopia, means “no place” a" the nonexistent land of man’s dreams. But no one told us that utopia wasn’t real. Even if they had, we wouldn’t have believed them because deep inside, we all wanted that idealistic life to be real. Somewhere along the line we decided that utopia must be possible. So with all ardor and enthusiasm, we made our plans, dreamed our dreams, and set out to find a place for our own free society. We could not find an island like in More’s 16th-century dream, but we settled for something a little bit less — Haight-Ashbury!
What magic these two words had in our minds! A society of free young spirits founded on love, peace, and freedom, where equality and fraternity could just be! From far and near we grabbed our backpacks and left home. We dropped out of school and hit the road.
By air, foot, bikes, or hitching, our 20th-century exodus had begun. Our Moses was Timothy Leary. Our Promised Land was San Francisco across the Golden Gate. When we arrived, we were accepted. No one asked any questions. No one made any demands. No one was watching. No one had to prove anything. We were just ourselves and everyone was happy. We were really living our dreams. We could come and go as we pleased. We could wear what we pleased. There were no deadlines, no grades, no projects, no points to score.
We did not care about money, no one was trying to impress, material things didn’t matter. Only people mattered. Easy alliances were formed. Love was free. No demands. No commitment. Old taboos were ignored, barriers knocked down and spirits were high. No one was killing anybody, and people were beautiful.
It happened in Monterey, June 1967. The first Rock festival was born, giving birth to Woodstock, Isle of Wight, Altamont, Atlanta, and an endless procession ever since! All day and night the music rocked & rolled on and on. We listened with remarkable fortitude for days. At the festivals we could sense what seemed to be the endless love we had always hoped for. In fact, a revolution of love was beginning. We could feel it everywhere. The world would never be the same. We were determined to make this hope, this life, this togetherness last forever.
Joan Baez called it togetherness, and she was right. Men and women throughout all generations have been looking for that bond of love that would make them one. The desire for an end to estrangement and hostility runs deep in the human soul. The toughest nut will crack under the right pressure and the hardest heart will yield to love, understanding, and a little kindness. The most estranged and antagonistic person will respond to interest and concern, once his suspicions have been allayed. This togetherness is what we wanted and what we thought we had found.
This was the life of the flower children, the beautiful people. If we needed anything, we would just ask someone. If they had it, they would share it. If they didn’t, no one thought any less of them. We panhandled to meet pressing needs and sold our art to the curious. But, it was the curious from plastic mainstream America that began to undermine our utopia. Tourists arrived by the thousands. They looked at us “hippies” the way kids look at giant pandas in the zoo.
“Look, a real live hippie.”
“He’s got nice eyes.”
“He stinks. Let’s buy some beads.”
These sensation-seeking, middle-class American tourists with their pudgy stomachs swamped the serenity and devoured the distinctiveness of our youthful dream on Haight Street. As time went on, we flower children became more and more the center of attention and a phenomenon the media quickly exploited. Things started getting crazy as more and more people came to San Francisco and the good vibes produced by Orange Sunshine began to give way to paranoia and an increased fear of “The Man.” The Buffalo Springfield captured this sense with these words from their famous song, For What It’s Worth:
Paranoia strikes deep.
Into your life it will creep.
It starts when you’re always afraid.
Step out of line the man comes
and takes you away.
You better stop now.
What’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down!
Old-fashioned greed began to show its ugly head among us, and we began to insist on our rights and our own individualities. It didn’t take long for many of us to see what was coming. Heroin and speed dealers moved into the Haight, the riot squad invaded our district, beating anyone they could find, and the utopian state sank in a pool of blood when the killing started. The peace we thought was ours began slipping away as an elusive dream. Like everywhere else and everyone else, we, the “love people” and “peace people,” were seeing in ourselves the same rotten seed we thought we’d left back home.
But where could we go and what could we do now? Go back home? No! We had made a few mistakes, but the dream was still attainable. It became clear that the peace we wanted couldn’t be found in the city. So we headed for the hills. Alternative people USA! We would do it! There is hope! We will make it! There is true love and true peace! A guru will show us the way! Which one should we follow? Who offers the best vibrations? Everybody seemed to have their own answer, their own separate trip.
As we went down endless roads wherever our own trips led us, there was an increasing sadness growing in our hearts, a sadness brought about because most of our dreams and visions proved to be unattainable. The highs went away and our experiments with community failed.
Then, we began to ask the question, “What is the use of anything at all?” The reality of people living in peace and unity as God intended is what we were looking for. But we needed to know how to find it. Our generation is going mad because we can’t find it after so many years of looking for it. We hated authority because the authority we observed growing up was filled with hypocrisy, prejudice, and glory seeking. We had our fill of the kind of authority that says, “Don’t do as I do, but do as I say.” What was needed was good authority to make it happen! We needed leaders who could lead us by their example and who wouldn’t compromise.
We wanted to conquer the world with love and bring the healing balm of peace to this earth, but there was no foundation, no blueprint to bring our vision into a lasting demonstration. Our love failed.
Some people turned to Jesus in search of this foundation of love. The Jesus of the Jesus People seemed hip enough, but didn’t have the power to bring about the life either. We turned on the TV and heard Christian preachers talking about how we should live a" something we knew that they knew nothing about. A life of love and unity is what they promised, but we knew we were not going to get it because those making the promises weren’t doing it either. Someone said, “A student will be like his teacher when he is fully trained.” So all we could see was another form of Christianity.
So what’s the use getting our hopes up in one more empty sermon? Who wants to claim to see like the blind teachers leading us? “If the blind lead the blind, they will both end up in the ditch.” Can their Jesus save others when he can’t save them? And if they are just saved from hell but not saved from this wicked society, who wants that salvation anyway? We aren’t blind! A plastic Jesus who makes his plastic converts comfortable in a plastic society headed for destruction is what we detested and despised. The utter failure of this “salvation” was the very cause of our rebellion. Their failure to produce the “utopia” they spoke of is what drove us to Haight Ashbury in the first place!
So now where are we to look and in what place can we find a hope that does not disappoint us? Where is the real love of God that can fill our hearts? Preachers or teachers who promise us that we can know the Source of love and the Author of peace and the meaning of Truth, but are divided among themselves, cannot communicate love, peace, and unity to anyone’s conscience. Mere mental concepts are all they can offer since they have a life filled with the same old selfishness and greed that we took to Haight-Ashbury.
So where do we go from here? I’m so tired of chasing after rainbows only to find a false light at the end of my journey. How can I ever find my elusive dream?

CON law change will allow CTCA to see more Georgia patients
Apr. 10, 2019 - 4:19 PM
Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Newnan will now be able to expand its bed capacity and accept more Georgia patients because of recent changes in the state’s certificate-of-need program.
For the first time in a decade, significant changes were approved in the state’s CON program. CON governs the construction and expansion of healthcare facilities and services, according to www.georgiahealthnews.com .
House Bill 186 will limit the rival entities that can object to a health care provider’s CON application to those within a 35-mile radius of the proposed project. Currently, there are no geographic restrictions on who can object, according to georgiahealthnews.com. Under current laws, a provider must obtain a certificate of need from the state to proceed with a major project.
Other changes include increasing financial thresholds for hospital construction and medical equipment, and prohibiting hospitals from purchasing or holding ‘‘medical use’’ rights of properties.
“Most important is what this change means for Georgia cancer patients,” said Ray Williams, vice president of government and community affairs at CTCA in Newnan, in an email statement.
“Cancer patients don’t have time to wait and this legislation, which will take effect beginning in January 2020, means more options and more access to the care they want and need,” Williams said. “It is patients-first change.”
Williams said more Georgia patients will be able to be treated at CTCAl because of the new changes.
“The current restrictions require we have no more than 50 beds and that no more than 35 percent of our patients come from Georgia ,” Williams said.
Williams said CTCA’s agreement with Aetna will allow more patients access to the hospital’s clinical team and the specialized cancer care in Newnan.
For now, operations will stay the same and the hospital will continue to “focus on delivering comprehensive, quality, patient-centered cancer care,” Williams said.
Officials with Piedmont Healthcare said the organization is supportive of changes
that modernize and streamline the process, support innovation and promote marketplace improvements while ensuring that hospitals can continue to provide needed services to the many communities and patient groups Piedmont serves.
“Piedmont will continue to invest in new services and enhanced capabilities,” Piedmont Newnan CEO Mike Robertson said.
Robertson said Piedmont’s operations will not change and it will continue to provide healthcare services to patients close to where they live.
As far as preparing for the change, Robertson said Piedmont will continue to be compliant with all applicable laws and rules.

January 12, 2015 — Chuck Jones
CES 2015: New Sony 4K ActionCam FDR-X1000V
Not to be outdone by the GoPro4, Sony unleashed their latest entry into the personal action camera space at CES 2015. The FDR-X1000V is a serious competitor as well, besting the GoPro4 in several ways from the specifications at least. It also is a stunning upgrade to the excellent Sony HDR-MV1 I have been reporting on for the past few months. To begin with, it shoots Ultra HD 4k video (3840 x 2160 @30p 100Mbps/60mbps), sports a Carl Zeiss Tessar lens with a wide 170 degree field of view, and is censored up with the great Exmor R Back Illuminated CMOS sensor along with Sony’s proprietary BIONZ X processor.
Sony FDR-X1000V With Included Case
Pretty powerful stuff for a simple action cam, without a doubt. But the good news doesn’t stop there. Additionally, the new camera borrows the acclaimed full pixel readout technology from other high-end Sony cameras including the popular A7S. This allows the camera to read and process data from all of the sensor’s pixels to create exceptionally smooth, highly detailed 4K and HD videos in a variety of formats including MP4 and the high data stream XAVC S codec. My question is will Sony also include the incredible S-Log2 profile to go with it?
“I’m thrilled to bring the unmatched clarity and sharpness of the Sony 4K experience to our Action Cam line,” said Patrick Huang, director of the camcorder business at Sony Electronics. “The innovative design and impressive technology in the new X1000V reflect our strong 4K background and intense commitment to the POV camera market.”
Sony FDR-X1000V Side View
Sony has already put a prototype of the FDR-X1000V in the hands of famed skateboarder Tony Hawk. “I’ve been lucky enough to test out the new 4K Action Cam on my skateboard, snowboard and surfboard, and have been blown away by the video quality” said Tony Hawk, professional skateboarder and official Team Action Cam member. “The camera excelled in every shooting environment, producing stunning 4K footage unlike anything I’ve ever seen before out of a POV camera.”
Upgraded HD Video, Stabilization, Control and Sound
The versatile new FDR-X1000V camera features an updated version of Action Cam’s leading SteadyShot™ stabilization technology, adding electronic image stabilization that Sony claims is approximately 3 times more effective at suppressing high-frequency motor vibration. This allows users to capture clear, vibration-free aerial footage using “drones” and enhances action footage of fast-moving subjects like your skateboard, without all of that nasty wheel vibration degrading your video.
The camera can also shoot HD video footage at extremely high frame rates of 120 fps in Full HD and 240 fps in standard HD for impressive slow-motion footage, and has clean HDMI output for recording to an external device, though frankly I have to wonder how many of us are interested in connecting an Atomos Shogun to an action cam to record the 4k video when the FDR-X1000V has 4k recording capability right on board. On the audio front, the new Action Cam adds wind noise reduction that minimizes wind interference with the stereo microphone, ensuring the best possible sound experience.
For the more advanced user, there is an expanded scope of manual controls and setting adjustments including white balance, and auto exposure shifting. Loop recording is also available, allowing users to maximize usage of available memory card space to ensure they get the exact shot they are looking for. The camera also features live streaming capabilities through the U-STREAM® platform, burst still image shooting, Motion Shot LE and a variety of other interactive features.
New HD Action Cam AS200V with Enhanced Image Quality
In addition to the new 4K model, Sony has also introduced the sleek Action Cam HDR-AS200V, which shares many of the same advanced features and exciting technologies as the X1000V including full pixel readout image, improved image stabilization, clean HDMI out and upgraded manual controls. The AS200V can shoot full 1080p HD/50Mbps video5 at 60 fps, 720p HD video at 120 fps and WVGA video at 240 fps.
New Live View Remote RM-LVR is Included In The Optional Accessory Kit
New Live View Remote RM-LVR
Sony’s new RM-LVR2 live view LCD remote is waterproof up to 3m (approx. 10ft) and features extensive control over the X1000V and AS200V action cam including start/stop recording, movie playback (without sound) and deletion of unwanted files. It is also extremely useful for checking framing prior to shooting. Users can also utilize Sony’s PlayMemories Mobile application – available for both Android and iOS – to control the new Action Cam with a smart device via Wi-Fi. Multi different cameras can be controlled simultaneously using either the live view remote or a connected smart device and PlayMemories Mobile application.
Built-in GPS and Action Cam Movie Creator
The X1000V and AS200V cameras are also equipped with built-in GPS, allowing users to utilize the provided Action Cam Movie Creator software to produce custom videos with GPS Data Overlay. The software can also be used to merge multiple video files together and to add custom background music to content as desired.
Coming Soon – Official Action Cam App
Sony say they will be releasing a new mobile application that offers customers a simple approach to pro-level video editing. The official ‘Action Cam App” will be available for download on both Android and iOS platforms in Spring 2015.

‘Big Top Typewriter’, by David Lewis Hammarstrom
by Katharine Kavanagh 14th June 2017
Here is a book that hits all my buttons: It’s a book about circus; it’s a book about writing; most importantly, it’s a book about writing about circus!
David Lewis Hammarstrom wrote his first circus review at the age of 14, frustrated then – as I often am still now – about the lack of critical appraisal in a mainstream media that doesn’t know its circus onions, or in fan press that accentuates only positives and gives little sense of relative perspective. More than 60 years later, he is still pursuing his love for both circus and wordery, and Big Top Typewriter chattily guides us through the meeting points of these loves over the course of his life and career, from local newspaper print to press agent to academic presses.
There is a charisma to Hammarstrom’s writing that keeps me with him through meandering reminiscences that, at times, must be more clearly connected in his mind than on the page. It strikes me that this may be a book for the blog-reading generation, doing away with traditional autobiographical conventions of structure and direction for personality and flavour, as the author discusses his journalistic forays and publishing paths.
Having spent decades immersed in the classical circus universe – including trips to Russia and China, which each spawned chapters of their own – Hammarstrom is never short on knowledge or opinion. As he freely admits, however, spelling, grammar, and the finer points of detailed fact-checking often let him down. Although broadly trustworthy, Big Top Typewriter lets well-known dates and names go awry, which would make me dubious about quoting from it without further research.
A recurring theme in the catalogue of Hammarstrom’s book-publishing adventures is that of poor copy editors. And poor marketing teams. And poor business partners. And poor commissioning editors. Bringing these negative experiences to the fore gives some drama to Hammarstrom’s story of literary ambition and passion, but also lends a whiff of blame-passing. Nevertheless, Big Top Typewriter provides an eye-opening account of the various processes required to get a book into print.
Illustrations include ticket stubs and posters, while photographs from the author’s private collection of memories move from childhood sepia to contemporary colour. Other images have been donated; Hammarstrom has moved in the American circus world for a long time and has interviewed many of the top names in 20th Century production and performance.
Big Top Typewriter is a unique take on the circus autobiography. Not great literature, but a highly enjoyable read, even if your buttons aren’t as finely tuned to the topic as mine.
Hammarstrom, David Lewis, Big Top Typewriter: My inside adventures through the world of circus. (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 10th Apr 2017) ISBN: 978-1542975612

Mexican Navy: 1 injured in clash near vaquita reserve
MEXICO CITY — Mexico's president said Friday he regrets a confrontation between fishermen and marines trying to prevent the illegal fishing that has driven the vaquita porpoise to the brink of extinction.
The Mexican Navy said at least one fisherman was shot when a marine's rifle accidentally discharged, and fishermen say two more people were slightly wounded in subsequent protests on Thursday.
It was the highest casualty toll yet in a long-running confrontation between environmentalists and fishermen angry over lapsed government support payments that were meant to compensate them for income they lost because of a total ban on gill nets.
"Yesterday there was unfortunately a confrontation, I very much regret it," President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said, adding that he has been discussing the situation in the Gulf of California for several days with top officials.
Fishermen in the community of San Felipe set illegal nets to catch Totoaba fish, whose swim bladder is considered a delicacy in China. The nets also drown vaquitas, a small porpoise that lives only in the Gulf — also known as the Sea of Cortes — of which perhaps as few as 10 remain.
The only force effectively protecting the vaquita are two boats operated by the environmentalist organization Sea Shepherd, which go out daily to haul in illegal nets.
Because the nets coast about $3,000 apiece, in recent months the fishermen have launched increasingly violent attacks on the larger Sea Shepherd vessels, to try to run them off or take back seized nets.
Because Mexico's Navy has tried to avoid confrontations, the fishermen have become increasingly bold.
That set the stage for Thursday's clash, which basically started as a chase when an illegal fishing boat tried to grab its nets back from the Sea Shepherd vessel "Sharpie."
The Sharpie "was attacked by a boat that was trying to recover illegal nets," the Navy said in a statement. "After taking back their nets, the boat fled back to San Felipe, Baja California."
A Navy boat and land patrol truck pursued the small open fishing boat. Because area's shores are often broad, flat and shallow, illegal boats often motor up to waiting boat cradles towed by pickup trucks that drive onto shore to pick them up and flee.
This time, however, "Marines carried out vehicle maneuvers to try to capture the boat and detain the culprits. But during these maneuvers the Navy vehicle was hit." Photos from the scene showed the pickup towing the boat had hit the back of the Navy patrol truck. A melee ensued as shouting fishermen surrounded and confronted the marines.
"The presumed culprits put up resistance and scuffled with Navy personnel, with the unfortunate result that a firearm accidentally discharged, wounding one person," The Navy said. "This drew a larger group that attacked the Navy personnel, who withdrew to avoid a confrontation."
Sunshine Rodriguez, a leader of the fishermen in San Felipe, said the wounded fishermen was in serious condition at a hospital. He said two other local residents were slightly wounded by gunfire when residents confronted marines at a subsequent protest. Rodriguez said both of the wounded had been treated and released for non-life-threatening injuries.
Rodriguez acknowledged that starting on March 23, fishermen had decided to violate a total ban on gillnet fishing in the area, in part because the government had stopped making compensations payments in November, before Lopez Obrador took office Dec. 1.
"This was a time bomb that was set up by the previous administration," Rodriguez said. "They know that we don't have the means to survive more than three months without payment."
Rodriguez said fishermen want net-fishing re-opened in the 80 percent of the vaquita's habitat, where the porpoise has been sighted in years. He called on the government to hire the remaining fishing boats to carry out permanent patrols in the remaining 20 percent of the reserve where the last few vaquitas have apparently gathered.
Experts say that gill nets have to be permanently banned in the area if there is any hope for the vaquita and the totoaba — itself an endangered fish — are to survive.

Top Picks in the NFL Week 3
The first two weeks of the NFL's 2015 regular season really have turned some expectations over on their heads.
The Cleveland Browns have already given the starting quarterback job to Johnny Manziel after Josh McCown turned in a disappointing Week 1. The Philadelphia Eagles, who were supposed to be the team to beat in the NFC East, are 0-2 after a shaky Week 1 against Atlanta and a Week 2 performance against Dallas that Fox analyst Troy Aikman simply described as “embarrassing.”
The Buffalo Bills were ready to take out years of frustration on the New England Patriots in Week 2, only to see Tom Brady pass for more yards against Buffalo than any other team had. That's in 66 years of the team's existence.
So what can we expect out of Week 3? Will Jacksonville stage another upset? Will Jameis Winston lead his team to a second win in a row? Check out these picks for the upcoming week.
Atlanta (PICK) at Dallas
The big story here, of course, is that the Dallas offense now doesn't have its starting quarterback (Tony Romo, out for at least two months) or its top wide receiver (Dez Bryant, out for at least four more weeks). Its best pass rushers (Randy Gregory and Greg Hardy) are at least a month away from returning, and its star tight end (Jason Witten) sprained both ankles and one knee in Week 2.
However, the Cowboys defense simply didn't let the Eagles move the ball at all.. Can it do the same to the Falcons, though? Julio Jones is one of the most electrifying wide receivers in the game right now, and his wizardry against the New York Giants in Week 2 brought the Falcons an important win. However, the Falcons never play as well on the road. I like Brandon Weeden to play well enough, and for Darren McFadden to run well enough, for the Cowboys to clamp down on the Falcons and win in a tight affair.

Cincinnati (+1.5) at Baltimore
The Ravens are always a tough opponent at home for other teams in their division. However, Andy Dalton has his Bengals off to a terrific start. He has not surrendered any sacks, and the Bengals have dealt out real punishment to their opponents in the first two weeks. I like the Bengals to do the same thing and come out of Baltimore with a win. It won't be by more than three points (or maybe six), but they will beat the Ravens. After all, Andy Dalton's not having to play a night game!
New Orleans (+3.5) at Carolina
A lot of people thought this would be the season when the New Orleans Saints came back into form. Drew Brees was set for an awakening, and the Saints would right their ship and claim the NFC South. However, the Saints look awful right now, as their Week 2 home loss to Tampa Bay showed. Look for Carolina to keep the Saints down in the doldrums. Will the Saints panic with an 0-3 record?

Chemistry: A novel (Hardcover)
By Weike Wang
June 2017 Indie Next List
“The unnamed narrator of Wang's winning and insightful novel is working on her PhD in synthetic organic chemistry, but the chemistry she really needs to learn is the one that makes relationships click. The prodigy daughter of high-achieving Chinese American parents, she's always strived to meet their demanding expectations. Then, suddenly, she just can't. Her lab work falters. She's unable to accept or decline her boyfriend's marriage proposal. But when she has a breakdown and loses in both academia and in love, she finally realizes how angry she is. Coming to terms with her past becomes her next project, and soon she can see her parents in a new light - and they aren't the fierce tiger couple they'd always seemed to be.”
— Laurie Greer (E), Politics & Prose Books and Coffee Shop, Washington, DC
Summer 2018 Reading Group Indie Next List
“What a delight. In the first few pages, you’ll be struck by the unusual narrative voice; after a few pages more, you’ll be absolutely hooked. There’s so much comedy in this story, about a young chemist navigating the pressures of her academic field along with the confusion of her first serious adult romance, but it’s deliciously dry, sly humor. Give a copy to every high-achieving, socially awkward person you know—and all the people who love them.”
— Mary Laura Philpott, Parnassus Books, Nashville, TN
Named by The Washington Post as a Notable Work of Fiction in 2017 and by Entertainment Weekly as a Best Debut Novel of 2017
Named a Best Book of 2017 by NPR, Ann Patchett on PBS NewsHour, Minnesota Public Radio, Maris Kreizman, and The Morning News
National Book Foundation “5 Under 35” Honoree
Longlisted for the Aspen Words Literary Prize
A luminous coming-of-age novel about a young female scientist who must recalibrate her life when her academic career goes off track; perfect for readers of Lab Girl and Celeste Ng's Everything I Never Told You.
Three years into her graduate studies at a demanding Boston university, the unnamed narrator of this nimbly wry, concise debut finds her one-time love for chemistry is more hypothesis than reality. She's tormented by her failed research--and reminded of her delays by her peers, her advisor, and most of all by her Chinese parents, who have always expected nothing short of excellence from her throughout her life. But there's another, nonscientific question looming: the marriage proposal from her devoted boyfriend, a fellow scientist, whose path through academia has been relatively free of obstacles, and with whom she can't make a life before finding success on her own. Eventually, the pressure mounts so high that she must leave everything she thought she knew about her future, and herself, behind. And for the first time, she's confronted with a question she won't find the answer to in a textbook: What do I really want? Over the next two years, this winningly flawed, disarmingly insightful heroine learns the formulas and equations for a different kind of chemistry--one in which the reactions can't be quantified, measured, and analyzed; one that can be studied only in the mysterious language of the heart. Taking us deep inside her scattered, searching mind, here is a brilliant new literary voice that astutely juxtaposes the elegance of science, the anxieties of finding a place in the world, and the sacrifices made for love and family.
WEIKE WANG is a graduate of Harvard University, where she earned her undergraduate degree in chemistry and her doctorate in public health. She received her MFA from Boston University. Her fiction has been published in or is forthcoming from Alaska Quarterly Review, Glimmer Train, The Journal, Ploughshares, Redivider, and SmokeLong Quarterly. She is a 2017 “5 Under 35” honoree of the National Book Foundation.
“Chemistry starts as a charming confection and then proceeds to add on layers of emotional depth and complexity with every page. It is to Wang’s great credit that she manages to infuse such seriousness with so much light. I loved this novel.” —Ann Patchett
“The most assured novel about indecisiveness you’ll ever read . . . The title Chemistry also, of course, alludes to love. But in Chinese the word for ‘chemistry’ translates to ‘the study of change.’ The novel is equally about the narrator’s slow self-transformation and her relationship with [her boyfriend] Eric. Both have arrived at a catalytic moment: ‘the indecision each reaction faces before committing to its path’ . . . Chemistry is narrated in a continual present tense, which, in conjunction with Wang’s marvelous sense of timing and short, spare sections, can make the novel feel like a stand-up routine. Personal crises are interrupted, to great effect, with deadpan observations about crystal structures and the beaching patterns of whales. The spacing arrives like beats for applause . . . Despite its humor, Chemistry is an emotionally devastating novel about being young today and working to the point of incapacity without knowing what you should really be doing and when you can stop. I finished the book and, after wiping myself off the floor, turned back to an early passage when the narrator asks her dog, ‘What do you want from me? You must want something.’ It doesn’t.” —Jamie Fisher, The Washington Post
"A novel about an intelligent woman trying to find her place in the world. It has only the smallest pinches of action but generous measures of humor and emotion. The moody but endearing narrative voice is reminiscent of Jenny Offill's Dept. of Speculation and Catherine Lacey's Nobody is Ever Missing. Fans of those novels will find a lot to enjoy here . . . Moments of tenderness are repeatedly juxtaposed with moments of misery . . . The [narrator] tells us there is a phrase for family love in Chinese that in translation means 'I hurt for you.' This love, rather than romantic love, feels like the true subject of the book. Chemistry will appeal to anyone asking themselves, How do I create the sort of family I want without rejecting the family I have?" —Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, The New York Times Book Review
“Beguiling . . . with wry observation and witty distraction . . . A funny, idiosyncratic story of a young woman with big brains, big family baggage and a wonderfully fresh voice sorting out a world of science, language, dogs, counseling therapy, a BFF and her baby, SAT tutoring, Boston weather, cases of wine, TV cooking shows--and piecing together the right chemistry in her life . . . Wang’s narrator spices her daily ups and downs with a little bit of science here, a Chinese language oddity there, shrink-talk and a running stream of observations about parents and child- and dog-rearing . . . Wang has an astute feel for the deep, scary uncertainties of a young, talented woman trying to shake off a demanding family and a derailed career and relationship. Chemistry is full of surprises--its many digressions congealing to yield an impressive literary blend.” --Bruce Jacobs, Shelf Awareness
"One of the year’s most winningly original debuts . . . Nearly every page is marked by some kind of breezy scientific anecdote or aside—pithy, casually brilliant ruminations on everything from meiosis and mitochondria to what makes rockets fly. That it’s all so accessible and organic to the story is one of the book’s most consistent pleasures. So is the texture and tone of Wang’s language, a voice so fresh and intimate and mordantly funny that she feels less like fiction than a friend you’ve known forever—even if she hasn’t met you yet. Grade: A" —Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly
“Outstanding . . . Unfolding in brief chapters studded with observations about her childhood and scientific facts, Chemistry may be the funniest novel ever written about living with depression.” —Kim Hubbard, People, “The Best New Books”
“Wang’s heroine, a young Chinese-American woman who is emotionally and professionally adrift, feels crushed by the expectations of her demanding parents, and by the pressures of her prestigious Boston university and her competitive male-dominated field, synthetic organic chemistry. She is also deeply ambivalent about marriage and committing to a career in synthetic organic chemistry. Chemistry is a sort of anti-coming-of-age story: Instead of figuring out how to be an adult, the narrator learns to live with uncertainty and indecision . . . In a deadpan voice, Wang drops in arcane chemistry trivia and captures the quirky, cutthroat subculture of science graduate students.” —Alexandra Alter, The New York Times
“What happens when you get a degree in chemistry from Harvard, but feel a competing pull to the world of narrative? You write a novel about this combustible state: Chemistry is a funny, wise debut about the heartache of uncertainty and the struggle to please others while forging one’s own path.” Nando Pelusi, Ph.D., Psychology Today
“A spiky, sparkling slip of a novel . . . with a singular take on love, lab science, and existential crises.” —Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly “10 Best Books of the Year So Far”
“A genuine piece of literature: wise, humorous, and moving.” —Ha Jin
“With its limpid style, comic verve, and sensitive examination of love, need, and aspiration, this exquisitely soul-searching novel is sure to be one of the most outstanding debuts of the year.” —Sigrid Nunez
“Weike Wang’s voice is indelible—hypnotic, mesmerizing, and strange in the best possible way. In Chemistry she creates a fully realized portrait of a brilliant mind in crisis, illuminating a corner of the human experience that’s woefully underexplored. By the last page I was devastated, transported, and craving more.” —Emily Gould, author of Friendship
“How do we learn to love if we haven’t been taught? That question seems to be the nucleus of Chemistry. Wang challenges the conventions of the marriage plot: the story begins with a proposal, falls into an alienating existential crisis, and ends in the morally ambiguous territory of self-actualization. The force of the novel is the narrator’s perfectly-executed voice, unflinching and painfully self-aware as she deconstructs her life—disastrously, bravely—to see if there is anything at the bottom she can hold on to.” —Stephanie Danler, author of Sweetbitter
“Chemistry (appropriately enough) explodes the stereotype of the model minority. Wang’s voice is a revelation—by turns deadpan and despairing, wry and wrenching, but always and precisely true.” —Peter Ho Davies, author of The Welsh Girl and The Fortunes
“Chemistry is a sly and infectious book. I read it quickly, galloping through the pages, marveling at the insight and the charm of this narrator as she uses her scientific impulses to explore the world around her and, ultimately, herself.” —Cristina Henríquez, author of The Book of Unknown Americans
“A rebellious debut: a wry, subtle, deeply attuned examination of love, immigration, family, and chemistry in all its forms. With its dark wit, probing self-examinations, and profound meditations on science and the soul, this is a novel for fellow seekers.” —Sarah Gerard, author of Binary Star and Sunshine State
“Science is an excellent lens for Weike Wang’s look at a young woman’s wonderfully skewed experience of love, ambition, loyalty, and, of course, chemistry. The pressure to excel, as applied by immigrant parents, comes up against basic questions of self-discovery: ‘Find me the thing that I can make the greatest impact in and I will do that thing,’ says the chemistry whiz who has gone off course. This very appealing narrator is funny and original, and the novel is filled with compelling information from the world of chemistry as well as gems such as Einstein’s thoughts on love, communicated to his daughter. In a word, this debut is: elemental.” —Amy Hempel
“Chemistry casts a rare spell, some alchemic mixture all its own. Though her ingredients are familiar—being young, uncertain, and estranged—Weike Wang gives them to us anew; her wry, off-beat vision demands that we look again, as if for the very first time.” —Casey Schwartz, author of In the Mind Fields
“A clipped, funny, painfully honest narrative voice lights up Wang’s debut about a Chinese-American graduate student who finds the scientific method inadequate for understanding her parents, her boyfriend, or herself . . . Wang [has a] gift for perspective.” —Publishers Weekly
“If you loved both the brains and the heart of Jenny Offill’s short yet emotionally epic novel Dept. of Speculation, Chemistry will be your next favorite read. Wang’s eloquent debut is full of short vignettes on the nature of love and overbearing families and academic failures and complicated relationships, all told through the lens of science. Chemistry proves to be a useful metaphorical tool for describing the messy moments in life for which no perfect formula exists.” —Maris Kreizman, Vulture Spring Preview 2017
“Endearing…Equal parts intense and funny…The narrator’s voice—distinctive and appealing—makes this novel at once moving and amusing, never predictable. A wry, unique, touching tale of the limits of parental and partnership pressure.” —Kirkus
“Beguiling . . . wry and witty . . . A funny, idiosyncratic story of a young woman with big brains, big family baggage and a wonderfully fresh voice sorting out a world of science, language, dogs, counseling therapy, a BFF and her baby, SAT tutoring, Boston weather, cases of wine, TV cooking shows—and piecing together the right chemistry in her life . . . Wang’s narrator spices her daily ups and downs with a little bit of science here, a Chinese language oddity there, shrink-talk and a running stream of observations about parents and child- and dog-rearing . . . But her coping and sorting is not just about being clever—Wang has an astute feel for the deep, scary uncertainties of a young, talented woman trying to shake off a demanding family and a derailed career and relationship . . . Chemistry is full of surprises—its many digressions congealing to yield an impressive literary blend.” —Bruce Jacobs, Shelf Awareness
“There is the chemistry of elements and the chemistry of love. Wang’s first person narrator swings between the two [in a] story that unfolds as a collage of memories and musings. What matters is the narrator’s refreshing openness to her world and her shunning of readymade answers. Complicating detours that arise from culture and race provide depth and density. But throughout, it’s her personal struggles that impel her curiosity about the ways past influences impact present choices. One way or another, we’ve all been there.”—Dan Dervin, The Fredericksburg Free-Lance Star
“A graduate student in chemistry at a rigorous Boston-area university, the sharp, self-aware narrator of this engaging work is having doubts about her career aspirations and her boyfriend. Named a ‘Most Anticipated Novel of 2017’ by Entertainment Weekly, the Millions, and Bustle, and they were right.” —Library Journal
“In this debut novel, a graduate student in chemistry learns the meaning of explosive when the rigors of the hard sciences clash with the chronic instability of the heart. A traditional family, a can’t-miss fiancé, and a research project in meltdown provide sufficient catalyst to launch the protagonist off in search of that which cannot be cooked up in the lab.” —The Millions, “Most Anticipated of 2017”
“Wang’s novel depicts a smart woman confronting an unplanned roadblock in her carefully engineered path, then feeling her way toward a terrifying unknown . . . The work has [a] quiet, unassuming power, as the narrator’s clinical approach and outsider eye infuses the story of her mental breakdown with both wry humor and pathos . . . A capably crafted, thoughtful novel.” —Claire Fallon, Huffington Post
“A poignant tale of self-discovery that anyone who’s ever felt a little lost will relate to.” —Jarry Lee, BuzzFeed, “22 Incredible New Books You Need to Read This Summer”
“It’s a laugh-out loud marvel. But that doesn’t mean it’s not intense—and that wry intensity is underscored by Wang’s writing style, a kind of staccato on the page. Wang’s spare prose makes all of her emotions—both happy and sad—pack all the more punch. Sprinkled throughout are tidbits about chemistry that double as metaphors for all sorts of human emotions—I loved them and I’m definitely not a science girl. Seeing the world through the lens of chemistry is novel, if only as a reminder that the messiness of life follows no particular formula.”—Leigh Haber, Book of the Month Club
“With her academic career unraveling and an unanswered proposal from her boyfriend looming, Wang’s narrator-- a young, female scientist—throws comfort and predictability to the wind, finally daring to ask herself what she really wants out of life.” —E. Ce Miller, Bustle, “15 New Authors You’re Going to Be Obsessed With This Year”
“A longstanding complaint I’ve had with so-called literary fiction is that it too rarely invents mathematicians, or scientists, perhaps because most writers know little about either field. (Delightful exceptions: Catherine Chung’s A Forgotten Country, Yoko Ogawa’s The Housekeeper and the Professor, Jeanette Winterson’s Gut Symmetries.) Chemistry looks like a worthy addition to the line-up.” —R.O. Kwon, Electric Lit “34 Books by Women of Color to Read This Year”

A Summer Film That IS Even Better Than The Hype
Min S. Godsey
Aladdin I went and looked, and I want to express my thoughts. I went to this film with very high expectations, with a sense of something. I went to him twice, the first time, myself, and the second with the family, and I was even surprised that my mother, sister and dad (who do not understand this movie at all) brought unreal pleasure and an ocean of emotions.Each frame, each scene does not let you get bored, from the Marvel logo, and to the stage after the credits. Favorite heroes once again experienced side by side and you feel it, you are completely absorbed in a hurricane of events and you are watching it in one breath. In comparison with the War of Infinity, even the Confrontation looks like an ordinary fight in the sandbox.Uuuu, and the villain, the best as for me the best in this kirovoveselennoy, he is not just a bot at once, without motivation, no, it's just the opposite. I liked Thanos so much that you do not want to, and he began to impress me, in terms of his convictions (I had it only once, with Joker Heath Ledger). He has feelings, he makes choices, he's alive...
Kyle Bryant
All the reviews that say this movie has no plot are either trolls, idiots, or didn't are to take the time to watch previous marvel movies. Every single one of those ratings and reviews should be taken down and not added to the rating for Infinity War because of their fundamental lack of understanding. It's like coming in and watching the last 2 minutes of an hour long drama show and saying this episode sucks because it has no plot. It's utterly ridiculous!There have been 31 marvel movies leading up to this point. All 31 has have some plot that leads to infinity war. Infinity War IS the end game movie. There is nothing left to explain, nothing left to discuss, it is all-out fight for control of the most powerful items in existence, the infinity stones. There have been 31 movies to explain in someway the power of these stones and/or the heroes that come together to fight Thanos in this movie. It's like a long game of chess where Thanos finally makes his move, and it's a huge one.So I beg of any of you who reads this. Don't listen to anyone who says this movie has no plot, has no reason and is only fighting. They aren't worth listening to, Infinity Wars has roughly 60 hours of plot from 31 precious movies leading up to this monumental fight for life or death, and the movie is done to near perfection. The movie is glorious, the CGI is fantastic, the battles are awe-inspiring, and Thanos is made worth of your fear from the very beginning. He is truly the Mad Titan that captures your heart and crushes it right in front of your eyes. Anyone who doesn't think this clearly didn't see the same movie.
Sally L. Midkiff
Gotta say, never a dull moment in this one and I never felt overwhelmed which surprised me with about a thousand cast members in this one. Great job introducing the bad guy as a real imposing fella. Then an interesting kind of twist making him seem not so bad as they revealed his story. Some seriously funny lines in this one. Had me laughing out loud at the theater. My son says he wants to buy it.
John Sanchez
Well, Well, Well....I was so ready to tear this down - 19th MCU film, too many stars, bloated CGI, first of a two parter, and so on and so on...Yet, this is so much fun. Pure popcorn...now in the dictionary under "popcorn film" is just the poster for this film. Somehow, the Russo Brothers have juggled all the parts to give everyone some time in the sun. They are helped immensely by two things: the premise is so pure Mcguffin that you just watch Thanos look for Infinity Stones which gives a primal momentum and that the film's stars/characters are looking to move on - that means, actual stakes for once as people could really die and not just comic book dying either.The DC people must be kicking themselves. The lightness and comedic touches are brilliant. You are laughing out loud, comedy level, but at totally organic character humour. It means you are so entertained throughout its rather long running time. The other big surprise is Thanos himself. Normally, I hate CGI characters but somehow they have made Thanos and Josh Brolin work enough to give the character an actual arc. This is one of the better MCU villains and I never thought I would write that.The stakes are real, the charisma levels are amazing, it is like "Oceans 28" and I can't wait for the sequel...that says an enormous amount considering the challenges this film faced.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / April 22, 2019 / Pelangio Exploration Inc. (PX:TSX-V; OTC PINK:PGXPF) (“Pelangio” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that a limited drilling program has commenced at the Dome West Property located 800 meters (“m”) west of the Dome Mine super pit in Timmins, Ontario (see Pelangio news release April 2, 2019 for further details).
Highlights of the Initial Diamond Drill Program at Dome West
The objective of this limited first phase of diamond drilling is to confirm the presence of a highly prospective porphyritic sill unit that has been designated as target P1. This porphyritic sill is interpreted to extend across a substantial portion of the Dome West property at the 1000-foot elevation from the former Paymaster Mine property (Source: Ont.

Helicopter support for the diamond drill program will be used as the cost-effective and environmentally sound solution to access this property
Pelangio intends to plan, permit and conduct a follow-up winter drill program in 2020 utilizing ice access, contingent on the success of this first phase program
“We are excited to begin the diamond drill program on our Dome West gold property. The results of this program will be used in confirming the existence of a highly prospective porphyritic sill that is interpreted to extend across the Dome West property. This program represents our first step in advancing this strategic asset,” commented Ingrid Hibbard, President and CEO of Pelangio.

DVD Review: Kill, Baby...Kill! (Arrow Video)
That wafer- thin line between the living and the dead has been crossed by many directors but few, I'll wager, could walk the walk like Mario Bava. With the sole exception of Lisa And The Devil, Bava had to work with meagre budgets and tight schedules, relying on ingenuity, imagination and those painterly eyes that created some of the most vivid nightmares ever committed to celluloid.
Kill, Baby...Kill! pits science and law against the forces of evil when Dr. Paul Eswai ( Giacomo Rossi-Stuart) and Inspector Kruger (Piero Lulli) arrive at the small Transylvanian village of Kremingen; the latter in response to a letter from one extremely frightened girl who was found impaled on iron railings before Kruger could reach the village. Eswai is asked to perform an autopsy, aided by Monica ( Erika Blanc), an ex-local girl who returns home to find her birthplace gripped by fear. As Bava works his magic, we slowly discover the legend of Melissa Graps (played by a young boy ,Valerio Valeri) , a 7 year old girl who, many years earlier, bled to death following an accident while drunken villagers ignored her cries for help. Now, those who catch sight of her unquiet spirit suffer a similar fate while her mother (Giana Vivaldi) presides over the family villa, surrounded by memories and fueled by hate.Although Bava is often cited as a master of style over substance, Kill, Baby...Kill! is a veritable feast for lovers of the macabre who like nothing better than a tale well told. A frightened coach driver who reluctantly delivers Eswai into a place of evil; terrified villagers who form a wall of silence; a scorceress ( Fabienne Dali', echoing Rada Rassimov's character in Bava's Baron Blood) who uses 'the old ways' to ward off the dead; wonderful mist-shrouded night scenes where a tolling bell signals another impending death.... a familiar storyline with stock characters? To an extent, yes, but even though we're on familiar ground, the soil seems firm and fresh, thanks to Bava's supreme technical skill, coupled with his unerring ability to get under the skin of what really scares us. Here, the spectral figure of Melissa Graps takes centre stage, emerging as one of Bava's eeriest and most imitated creations. This 'bambino diavolo' has inspired the likes of Martin Scorsese (The Last Temptation Of Christ) and Federico Fellini (Toby Dammit, from Spirits Of The Dead), who took note of the images of a child clad in white, emerging from the shadows of half-lit corridors, peering through windows with a malevolent, death-dealing stare or, most chilling of all, perched on a swing, her laughter peeling through the cold night air: wish I had a gold coin (embedded in the heart, perhaps?) for every film that wheels on a child's ball bouncing down the stairs to land at the feet of the living.Melissa's evil mother also succeeds in quickening the pulse rate, at first commanding our sympathy and then moving to the other end of the scale as her part in this story becomes apparent.
In many ways, this is possibly Bava's finest achievement and a film that has stood the test of time. Still scary after all these years.
My DVD review copy from Arrow Video unveils a fine presentation of this film, and I found myself contemplating the long journey to finally seeing this film in pristine condition. I first saw "Kill,Baby...Kill!" on a grainy, 3rd gen video copy and graduated, years later, to DVD. I was also lucky enough to see this film on the big screen at London's National Film Theatre, as part of a Mario Bava retrospective, many moons ago. Arrow's superb presentation really does tick all the boxes here, with interior and exterior shots dripping with atmosphere created by Bava's ingenuity, often bathed in greens and blues that highlight the director's eye for creeping unease which so often reaches fever pitch.
The extras being as they should, with a Tim Lucas commentary track. Tim delivers a wealth of information on cast and crew, going on to talk about the history of some of the locations used, and also where they appeared in other Italian films. He discusses the prevalence of low angle shots, and highlights the many 'twinning' instances in the film. "Forbidden Planet", "Twin Peaks", "Toby Dammit" and "Demons 2" are just a few of the films and shows mentioned in this track, and there are interesting snippets from a telephone interview with Erika Blanc also included. It's a stimulating track, which enriches understanding and appreciation of this film.
The Devil's Daughter (21m38s)
This is an excellent video essay from critic Kat Ellinger, which covers a lot of ground in its running time.
Kat takes a look a gothic literature featuring children - such as "Children of the Abbey" by Resina Maria Roche - goes into child mortality rates in the 17th and 18th century, and offers thought-provoking analysis on child trauma in the family., touching on films and novels which include "The Devil's Backbone", "Don't Torture A Duckling", MR James' "Lost Hearts" and "The Turn of the Screw."
It's a beautifully delivered essay, guaranteed to prompt further reading and viewing from its audience.
Kill, Bava, Kill (25m 2s)
This is an interview with Mario's son, Lamberto, where his formative years are discussed, with golden memories of working under his father's stewardship.
Lamberto also takes us back to the locations used for "Kill, Baby...Kill!" in a nostalgic return to a place where time has stood still for 30 years.
It's an emotional piece, with Lamberto still greatly missing his father and justifiably proud of his achievements.
Erika In Fear (11m)
This is a 2014 interview with the still gorgeous (and very lively) Erika Blanc. Erika ehtuses over Bava's expertise, the lighting and colours used and the amtmosphere he conjured, seemingly at will. It's lovely to see this lady talking about her contribution to a great film, and proclaiming herself "a complete horror fanatic."
Yellow (6m 49s)
Semih Tareen's 2006 love letter to Mario Bava, which begins with a couple sitting down to a game of chess in a garishly lit apartment. What could go wrong? The tension is ramped up in this short film, as familiar tropes surface to delicious effect.
Arrow also provides the German opening titles for the main feature (3m 26s), which provides an early glimpse of Melissa Graps, and a 2m 32s international trailer.
Finally, we get to step through an image gallery comprising of 28 German posters and lobby cards under the title "Die Toten Augen Des Dr. Dracula".
There's also a collectors booklet included (which I haven't seen) which contains new writing on the film by critic Travis Crawford.

Tough Defence minister needed
The decision of the Defence minister to throw open the roads in cantonments may have pleased her political colleagues who need votes during elections. But opening roads is hardly the hallmark of performance of the Defence minister. The question is – can she defend the country? The answer is a loud NO. For a Defence minister to be effective, he or she has also to be the ultimate Finance minister of her ministry. If the Defence minister has to go time and again to the Finance minister with a begging bowl and say 'bhavathi bhikshan dehi', then the defence of the country is not the responsibility of the Defence minister but that of the Finance minister. Has any Finance minister ever been held responsible for any of our Defence snafus? Examine deeply and you will find they are equally culpable. Recall what Manekshaw told Y.B. Chavan, the then Finance minister at the famous meeting in March 1971 before the Bangladesh war. Nothing has changed since then. The Defence budget is grandly announced and then nothing is spent and it is used to shore up the deficit. In fact not only the Defence minister but it is the plight of every minister who needs funds to run his ministry – they are supplicants of the Finance ministry. Only one ministry was independent and that too has gone – Railways. Coming back to defence – can the Defence minister or Army chief, or actually the Defence secretary (who under GoI Rules, 1961 is responsible for defending the nation) give a certificate to Parliament that the armed forces have enough to fight a two-front war for the minimum number of days? What we need is a heavyweight as a Defence minister. Say Mohan Bhagwat or even Amit Shah.

Inverse acoustic obstacle scattering problems using multifrequency measurements

In this paper, we investigate the problem of reconstructing sound-soft acoustic obstacles using multifrequency far field measurements corresponding to one direction of incidence. The idea is to obtain a rough estimate of the obstacle's shape at the lowest frequency using the least-squares approach, then refine it using a recursive linearization algorithm at higher frequencies. Using this approach, we show that an accurate reconstruction can be obtained without requiring a good initial guess. The analysis is divided into three steps. Firstly, we give a quantitative estimate of the domain in which the least-squares objective functional, at the lowest frequency, has only one extreme (minimum) point. This result enables us to obtain a rough approximation of the obstacle at the lowest frequency from initial guesses in this domain using convergent gradient-based iterative procedures. Secondly, we describe the recursive linearization algorithm and analyze its convergence for noisy data. We qualitatively explain the relationship between the noise level and the resolution limit of the reconstruction. Thirdly, we justify a conditional asymptotic Hölder stability estimate of the illuminated part of the obstacle at high frequencies. The performance of the algorithm is illustrated with numerical examples.

Technokill: Building a Blown Hybrid, Part 2
Applying forced aspiration to a hybrid petrol/electric car
Fitting the supercharger
Fitting the intercooler
Last week in Technokill: Building a Blown Hybrid, Part 1, we backgrounded what needed to be considered before fitting a supercharger to a hybrid petrol/electric car – a first model Toyota Prius. This week we get on and do it!
Fitting the Blower
While on paper fitting the small ex-Subaru Vivio AMR300 supercharger looked easy, in practice it was a nightmare job.
This was primarily because of the very cramped engine bay in the Prius, which necessitated (for example) integrating the supercharger mount into a completely new fabricated engine mount. This bracket was made from mild steel, using 9mm plate, 12mm plate and 40 x 8mm bar, arc welded together. In addition to the heavily gusseted engine mount, the bracket also incorporated the fabricated belt tensioner. In all, something like 40 hours of work went into making the bracket.
When spending the many hours working on the car, it was always in the back of my mind that the supercharger may prove a complete failure – something which isn’t conducive to lots of effort! In addition to the points made last week, there were further concerns:
It wasn’t known what boost level that the standard Prius crank drive pulley and standard Vivio supercharger pulley would give
It wasn’t know whether or not the engine would immediately detonate when given any boost
There wasn’t room to fit a larger supercharger pulley if boost proved to be too high
It wasn’t known whether the intercooler would be large enough
It wasn’t known whether there would be sufficient fuel available (injector duty cycle and pump flow) to maintain acceptable air/fuel ratios on any boost level
So rather than continue working until the system was completely finished – only possibly to find it could never work – I therefore resolved to do some testing with the system only half-installed. So with the supercharger running (but drawing air through a hastily put together and fairly restrictive intake, and with the intercooler projecting out the front of the car, held in place only with hoses and clamps!) I undertook a very careful test drive. The bumper wasn’t fitted, the bonnet was held down with wire, and the numberplate was cable-tied into place. Mixtures were monitored with a MoTeC air/fuel ratio meter.
Because no supercharger bypass had yet been fitted, and because the supercharger was blowing into the throttle, at idle the intake air rapidly became hot. This lack of recirc valve also meant that the throttle had to be closed very slowly, otherwise the pressure build-up caused a hose to pop off.
However, the results of this preliminary test were a huge relief. The boost level was between 5-7 psi, the car didn’t detonate, the air/fuel ratios were satisfactory (well within the range of being able to be tuned with the Digital Fuel Adjuster), the multi-rib belt drive (although having more whip than wanted) didn’t come off and there was no apparent belt slippage, and the intake air temps after the intercooler were low.
So I could continue with the installation, which by this stage looked like it would take up a full month of work.
Installing the Intercooler and Airbox
The next steps were to properly install the intercooler and airbox, and make the plumbing.
The intercooler – from a diesel Mitsubishi Pajero – was to be mounted at the front of the car. It could be placed either behind or in front of the power converter radiator. (The underbonnet power converter runs its own dedicated water cooling system, complete with pump and front-mounted radiator.) Obviously, from a point of view of maximum cooling, the intercooler would be best at the very front of the car. However, autos.groups.yahoo.com sources suggested that during development of the Prius, Toyota engineers had difficulty keeping the temperature of the power converter down – and so the radiator for this dedicated system shouldn’t be blocked.
But then again, keeping the boosted intake air as low in temp as possible would also be very important!
The decision was made – mount the intercooler in front of all the other heat exchangers. In this position it blocks about half the area of the power converter radiator.
In order that the intercooler could be mounted in this position, the power converter radiator needed to be moved backwards and the frontal intrusion bar modified to provide clearance. I cut out a section of the original bar and then had welded across the gap a section of the bar from the half-cut Prius that I had bought. Note that this bar is slightly curved in plan, so it couldn’t just be replaced with straight rectangular tube.
The standard airbox sits on top of the engine and its outlet is in the wrong place to feed the supercharger. A new airbox was sourced from a Daihatsu Sirion and was mounted in the front guard. The original Prius airflow meter is built into the airbox. The airflow meter was carefully cut out so that it could be mounted conventionally in-line after the new airbox. The wiring loom to the airflow meter was extended to reach the new airflow meter location.
The supercharger inlet, outlet and intercooler plumbing was fabricated primarily from 50mm copper tube and fittings which were brazed together. Taking this approach gave high-flow bends which were still tight in radius, and also allowed much of the tubing to be fitted together (the bends incorporate sockets into which the tube pushes) before being taken to the welder. However, after the plumbing was in place, a major problem appeared. The tubes running to the intercooler passed over the top of the radiator, before sharply bending downwards to reach the intercooler.
And when these were in place, the bonnet wouldn’t shut....
While checking clearance to the bonnet seems an obvious step, in the case of the Prius the very steeply sloping bonnet (which also has an underside that actually wraps over and around the bonnet locking platform) meant that clearances in this area were far tighter than in other cars. To overcome the problem, the front tubes needed to be changed from copper to rubber, and part of the underside metalwork of the bonnet had to be (very carefully!) cut away.
There were also two other very tight spots – the inlet and outlet of the supercharger. The inlet, closest to the back of the car, is located very near an intake manifold head stud and the variable cam timing solenoid. The copper inlet pipe had to be hand-beaten to shape to clear both of these obstacles. The outlet was similar, although in this case it was the radiator filler neck and radiator fan shroud to which clearance was required. In fact, this area was so tight that the radiator was pulled forward a little at the top. As a result, both the inlet and outlet connections to the supercharger are smaller in cross-sectional area than would be expected with 50mm tube; however the reductions in cross-sectional area are made smoothly and so the flow will not be as restricted as it would if these changes were abrupt.
The placement of the intercooler plumbing and the moving forward of the top of the radiator meant that the original panel across the top of the radiator had to be replaced with a new panel. This was made from aluminium channel. Foam rubber was used to block the gap by which air could have otherwise bypassed the radiator. The removal of the panel above the radiator also meant that the bonnet lock needed to be supported by other means; an aluminium bar was bolted across the car in front of the air-con condenser and this carries the bonnet lock and the horns.
A supercharger bypass valve was incorporated in the system. This comprises a GFB recirculating blow-off valve, normally used on a turbo car. It has 32mm plumbing and is beautifully made. The connections to this valve were plumbed-in just after the airflow meter and just before the throttle body.
It was literally only at this stage – after nearly 3 weeks of work – that the system even started to look near complete.
Second Test
In order that – if necessary - changes could be made to the supercharger bracket, the inlet and outlet plumbing, the airbox and everything else new, the second test drive was undertaken without any of the supercharger system components painted.
When the engine was started, the supercharger was very loud – because of insufficient intake manifold vacuum, the bypass valve wasn’t opening. I disassembled the GFB valve and shortened the spring, which reduced the preload and allowed the valve to open at idle. However, the supercharger noise through the new airbox was still fearsome – far louder than desired. Blocking off some of the air inlet to the box decreased the noise substantially, indicating that the noise could possibly be reduced through further intake tuning.
However, the next problem was much more major: driving the car showed only 2 psi maximum boost. After checking clamps and blocking off the blow-off valve in case it was leaking, a simple mistake was found – the crankcase breather hose was off the intake manifold. With this huge boost leak plugged, boost again rose back to the previous level.
The belt drive had settled down (I gave it greater tension that stopped its whipping) and on the road the car was performing fine. The mixtures were a little leaner than preferable, but that could be easily changed with the Digital Fuel Adjuster.
So at this stage things were looking very good - but they weren’t to continue that way....
Next week: on the road with the world’s only supercharged, intercooler battery/electric hybrid
The GFB blow-off valve was supplied courtesy of the manufacturer.

Poor performers. What to do?
I have observed that there has been poor monitoring of individual performance by people and plenty of people have been able to slip schedules and deliver poor quality work with little or no consequences. With a change in labour conditions and an increase in the use of clear definitions of done we are getting more transparency in our game.
More and more people will be discovered as a poor fit.
The project's goal is faster, better cheaper. But the organisation's goal is to develop it's people to maximize their potential. (And yes Pawel, that's not every organisation's goal.)
The commonly proposed solution in project circles is to hire and fire quickly. It's probably true that this gets you to the best result fastest. But many larger and more bureaucratic organisations are not geared up for that. What then?
Create or customize a job for the individual? Coach?
What do you do at the first attempt? Where do you give up?
How much is this your problem anyway?
(By the way, if you are on my team, don't be too paranoid. This post was inspired by a conversation from a colleague at a different company.)

In my opinion, it's trying to give feedback first, then coaching, training... But at some point, one gives up.
Executives owe it to the organization and to their fellow workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals in important jobs.
Where that point is? Now that's a hard question. I never try to decide it alone. That helps. :)
I also always feel that it's my own failure, not being able to bring out the best from somebody.

VI. Blue Star Start-up Strategy for Emerging Business Opportunities - Corporate Intrapreneurship

Part I - Blue Stars
2) Portfolio Classification
3) Seven key questions
Part II - What makes for success?
1) An empirical study
2) Four criteria
3) Winners' check-list
The constellation Taurus, the Bull, and its blue star cluster Pleiades, the Seven Sisters, were known to the Persians and Chinese, the Maya and Aztec.1
INSERT BCG MATRIX WITH COMMENTS
KISS, Keep It Strategically Simple, is a leitmotiv that definitely also applies to start-ups. There are seven key questions. The second, third and fourth are the ones IBM considers critical for strategic clarity:2
1. - What business are you really in? How do you define it in terms of solutions?
Shoes, bicycles, cars and airplanes are all solving transportation problems, getting from A to B, as different as those industries are from one another. An aspect common to most solutions, including those provided by the transportation industries, is the role premium branding can play - Bally & Gucci, Bianchi & Coinago, Ferrari & Lamborghini, Lear & Concorde.
2. - What's the pain point for the customer?
3. - Who are you going to come up against in the marketplace?
4. - How can you deliver more value to your customers than our competitors?
5. - Is your strategy specific about where to compete, which market niches?
6. - Does your strategy lead to real commitment - "being on a mission," versus having a mission statement?
Is that commitment balanced with the flexibility to account for uncertainty? You have to be able to pivot!
7. - Is realizing your strategy tied to an immediate action plan with budgets, milestones, and people held accountable for specific strategic targets?
Part II – What Makes for Success?
"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat its mistakes." An interesting historical perspective about the Key Factors for Success (KFS) for new ventures is given by a PIMS study of the 1980s from the Strategic Planning Institute1(SPI). (PIMS refers to Profit Impact of Market Share, explained on the linked subpage at "B. Market Strategy Fundamentals.) Data were analysed from 117 start-up ventures in North America, Europe and Australia. For an on-going KFS study in Silicon Valley, see the subpage "4. Internet Start-ups: the Berkeley Stanford Genome Report" at "B. Blue Star Strategy for Entrepreneurs."
The ventures of the PIMS study were manufacturers of both industrial and consumer products and had both standard and new technology. They were entering:
• both stagnant and dynamic markets
• both fragmented and concentrated markets
The distinction between "winning" and "losing" start-ups was determined on the basis of the market share achieved by the fourth year of operations. Successful operations tended to turn the corner to a positive return on investment (ROI) in year five. Below is a summary of the findings of this study.
More likely to succeed were start-ups with:
1) a goal of achieving a high share of a rapidly growing market
2) and the production capacity to support that goal.
To comment on these two points:
1) Marketing: Achieving high market share is a critical driver to profitability. The more important the product is, in terms of its share of the customer's disposable income, the harder it is to gain market share. Customers are less likely to try a new product or switch suppliers on big ticket items than on relatively minor purchases. The fastest way to achieve significant market share is to sell to key major customers. In other words, carefully aiming a sniper's rifle on a major retailer, such as a Wallmart´s with its huge multiplier effect, is more effective than going after the general public with a shotgun.
Winners spend heavily and early on marketing. However by year four, their marketing spending has come down to the "normal" level of their competitors.
2) Production: Having good quality in of itself is not enough, as the quality offered by competitors may also be good. You have to be perceived as significantly better. Quality refers, of course, to the total customer experience including payment terms, timely delivery (no stock-outs) and after sales service. The reward for the perceived "quality gap" of the winners was a chance to charge premium prices while being regarded as providing value.
The resulting healthy cash flow enabled the winners to spend heavily on developing even better products (R&D). The above points confirm conventional marketing wisdom. The next two points are a little more surprising.
3) Start-ups were more likely to suceed when faced with tough competition, ideally a dominant, market-leading competitor, a sort of David versus Goliath scenario.
4) High sales force expenses did not lead to high market share. Specifically, start-ups which spent 3/4 of their marketing budget on the sales force and related expenses and 1/4 on advertising, promotion and other marketing did significantly worse than those which spent less than 1/2 on the sales force.
From these four points one may make a bullet point "winners' check-list." Winners tend to:
enter a rapidly growing market (Which regional or customer market segments show the highest growth rates?)
face strong competition (Is there a dominant competitor and if so why?)
have stretch market share objectives (Demanding, but achievable, ones need to be set, by market niche.)
provide products that do not make up a large percentage of the customer's purchases (Target successful customers.)
budget heavy marketing expenses for the first two years (Hit the ground running.)
support the product with outstanding service (Service is key for customer loyalty.)
charge a premium price (Provide corresponding value.)
have sufficient production capacity (Potential bottlenecks?)
budget heavily for R&D (Innovation needs to be on-going.)
1 Taurus and Pleiades may have been depicted in Paleolithic times. Dr. Michael Rappenglück of the University of Munich (LMU) makes this case for a painting in the Lascaux caves in France, which are dated at about 15,000 BC to 16,000 BC. The constellation and star cluster definately appear in Babylonian star catalogues in 2300 BC. They are also mentioned in Homer's Odyssey.
Taurus, from Urania's Mirror, an English set of constellation cards, ca. 1825. *
The nine brightest stars of Pleiades owe their names to Greek mythology. Atlas and Pleione, the parents of the seven sisters, appear on the left of the blue photograph at the top of the page. In the middle are Alcyone, and, below her, Merope. On the right, top to bottom, are Sterope, Taygeta, Maia, Celaeno and Electra. Zeus turned the sisters into stars, along with their 15 half-sisters, the Haydes, who together form the constellation Taurus. The Seven Sisters of the Pleiades are reduced by one and revered in Hindu mythology as the mothers of the war god Skanda.
Pleiades is primarily made up of hot blue stars formed 100 million years ago. It is one of the closest of the star clusters (about 440 light years from earth), and the most visible one. Astronomers expect it to disperse in about 250 million years. (Wikipedia, 2011) The striking image is from NASA (cf. the copyright below).*

Gale of SPI and Robert D. Buzzell of Harvard Business School, Oct. 1987, as well as on the website http://pimsonline.com.

IceDogs primed for deep playoff run
March 12, 2019 Brendan Ballantyne Professional Sports, Sports No comments
Photo Credit: Mackenzie Gerry
The OHL playoffs are quickly approaching, and while the Niagara IceDogs have been comfortably set in a playoff spot for quite some time — they have been continuing their fight for favourable seeding in the Eastern Conference. A Sunday matinée against the Barrie Colts sent a strong message that even though the team has positioned themselves in the playoffs, they cannot let up as the season winds down. Barrie came into the game three points out of a playoff spot with just five games to be played. They were a team playing desperately but in the early goings of the game the IceDogs seemed unphased; they jumped all over the Colts, firing the first 18 shots on net and scoring three times within the first eight minutes — including a shorthanded goal.
Even though the teams had split the season series 2-2 to this point, the IceDogs made it look as if they were playing a completely different tier of hockey. Because of this, frustrations boiled over frequently in the early stages of the contest, but the IceDogs maintained their composure and the lead through the first period.
However, the second period was a different story. At one point the IceDogs were outshooting their opponents 30-4 but a couple of bad breakdowns resulted in the score reading 3-2, inaccurately representing how the game had transpired to that point.
“It was important to get out to a good lead and a good start and we got that and then I think that we just thought that Barrie would roll over and they obviously didn’t,” said IceDogs head coach Bill Burke. “They can play, they’re fighting for their lives.”
It didn’t stop there as projected first round pick for the upcoming NHL draft, Ryan Suzuki tacked on another goal to level the game at 3-3. The shots were a shocking 31-8 in favour of Niagara at this time. It wasn’t until late in the second period when IceDogs captain Ben Jones scored his 40th goal of the season on the power play to reclaim the lead for the home team. They would hold on from there to close out the win.
“A win is a win but it certainly was a lot closer than it needed to be and that’s on us, we survived it,” said Burke. “You know, it’s like a boxing match, we took one on the chin and stumbled but we were able to keep our feet under us.”
The IceDogs conclude their home schedule on March 14 and have a strong 24-6-3 at the Meridian Centre this year.
“I’d rather just play a good 60 minutes and stay up the whole time but we’re lucky we’re at home, our fans helped us,” said Burke. “You don’t ever want to let a team tie it up after you’re up 3-0.”
The IceDogs have also won eight of their last 10 games and their last five losses this season have come by just a single goal.
The team has been supported by their depth all year. The usual suspects of NHL draftees Jason Robertson (Dallas), Jones (Vegas) and Akil Thomas (Los Angeles) all find themselves in the top 10 in league scoring and Kirill Maksimov (Edmonton) isn’t far behind either, sitting in 17th. Jack Studnicka (Boston) and Ivan Lodnia (Minnesota) along with draft eligible Phil Tomasino are providing great production as well.
When asked about playing teams on the cusp of the playoffs, like Barrie, Burke found that it’s a valuable test in preparation for the desperate situations that’ll present themselves in postseason play.
“We’ve kind of been trying to play playoff hockey ourselves for the last two weeks. Guys are playing for their lives, they’ve got players whose OHL careers are on the cusp of finishing and that’s a challenge we have going forward here,” said Burke. “So it was good, we need that urgency as well so it’s great to play these type of games.”
The IceDogs will play one final home game against the Mississauga Steelheads on Mar. 14 before heading to Barrie and North Bay on Mar. 16 and 17 to wrap up their regular season schedule. While it’s too early to say who the IceDogs will be facing in the first round or where they will find themselves in the standings — Niagara, Sudbury and Oshawa are all separated by just three points — what we do know is that the 41-17-7 IceDogs, who currently sit in second place, will receive home ice advantage for at least the first round of the playoffs.

CHURCH MEMBER COMMITS SUICIDE INSIDE CHURCH IN BENIN
Activities were disrupted during a church service at the Living Faith Church also known as Winners Chapel in
Benin, the Edo State yesterday.
According to NewTelegraphonline, members of the congregation received a strange visit of emissaries of Omo N’Oba Nedo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, over a member, who reportedly committed suicide in the place of worship.
It was learnt that family and members of the church had allegedly brought down the victim from where he was dangling and rushed him to a nearby hospital to conceal the incident and to avert consequences.
But the incident later attracted the attention of the Benin monarch who quickly deployed the Ewanse
(palace functionaries) to the church located on Upper Erhunwumse Street in the ancient town.
Following the intervention of the palace, tension was said to have heightened among the leadership and members of the Pentecostal church as they tried to ensure the case did not get out of hand.
It was learnt that the visit by palace functionaries was informed by an alleged disobedience by leadership of the church to placate the gods of Benin Kingdom over the abominable act.
At press time, policemen from Evboutubu Divisional Station were drafted to area to forestall any breakdown of law and order.
The palace functionaries engaged representatives of the church in a dialogue which lasted several hours. The meeting aimed at resolving the impasse.
The leader of the Ewanse group, who refused to disclose his name, said the gathering would not have been necessary had the leadership of the church done the needful as required in Benin tradition and culture.
He said the palace was angered because the church flagrantly removed a traditional sign placed on the building by palace functionaries which signifies an alleged abominable act was committed by a church worker.
He added that, as a matter of urgency, the leadership of the church must visit the palace to enquire about the sacrificial items needed to appease the gods of the land.
Efforts to get the comment of the pastor or a member of the church on the incident yesterday failed as they all declined to speak on the matter, NewTelegraphonline reports.
A source in the church disclosed that the deceased, whose name was not readily known, was not a pastor as earlier speculated in some quarters.
The source added that though the victim had lost his life in the hospital as some family and church members rushed him to a nearby hospital immediately he was caught in the suicide act a few days ago.
The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Moses Nkombe, when contacted on the incident yesterday, said details of the incident had not been available to the command.
Also when contacted on the phone yesterday, the palace Public Relations Officer (PRO), Mr. Odemwenmgie Donald, confirmed the incident.He said:
“I don’t even know the church where the incident occurred but I know that a pastor committed suicide there.”
On the visit of the Ewanse group from the palace, he said:
“There are various sections of palace functionaries, groups and societies and they don’t inform us when they want to carry out any function.”

I've had request from someone looking for more details/scans on the story The Bubble Ballerinas which appeared in Bunty #823 (20 October 1973).
It was about a ballet school where the girls were kidnapped by mysterious bubbles. I only had the first issue myself and I haven't been able to track it down (it may have been one that didn't make the move to my new home a few years ago!)
Anyone able to help?

Re: The Bubble Ballerinas
I think I have an episode or two of that story, but right now I don't have access to my
scanner.
Ok, I found I have one episode, dated 22 December 1973. Artist looks like Ron Smith. I’ll see if I can get the scannner going in a day or two.
Essentially, the plot is that Jenna Jones and her ballet school are abducted and taken to a remote island to teach Zuleika, the daughter of a wealthy Sultan, to dance. This is no easy task as Zuleika is not only a spoiled brat but also way too tubby to be a ballerina. Zuleika captured the girls by means of a toy that blows giant bubbles, and it catches all escapees as well.
Sounds like they took some ideas from The Prisoner

It sure makes a change from using drugs and flunkies, which is what happened to the kidnapped ballet school in Tammy's "Secret Ballet of the Steppes". Bubble Ballerinas must have been popular as it was one of the stories Bunty looked back on in her 25th birthday issue.
Does anyone have the end date to this story? We know it began with #823. And before anyone asks, 30th Century Comics has no Bubble Ballerina issues in stock. I've already checked.
I can now scan the only episode I have. It is from Bunty #832, 22 December 1973.

That was episode 10 and it looks like the story still has a way to go before its climax and resolution, so it must have ended somewhere around #840 or before then. It’s not in #842, the next number I have.
Thanks for that Tammyfan. Interesting story though it unfortunately seems to have one of those narratives of the fat person being ugly and mean and all the heroes are "pretty" girls
The fat person is the villain though. By the way, the artist looks like Ron Smith.
Goof
The story does provide a nice twist on the usual pretty heroine/ugly villain convention in Zuleika's reducing mirrors, which make her slim and beautiful, and the other girls stick-thin and ugly. It's really well done, too, by Ron Smith, who had a bit of a genius for the comic grotesque. I thought he was rather miscast as an artist of ballet stories like Moira Kent, but this is right up his street.
Goof wrote:
I have seen a lot of ballet stories where the artist is miscast in a ballet story. Either the artist does not know how to draw ballet positions correctly or his/her style is not right for ballet, or both. It was one the things I really couldn’t stand in girls’s comics. Of course there were artists who did a brilliant job with ballet, such as John Armstrong and Eduardo Feito.

That's classic Ron Smith art Tammy. It's also really nice to see some of the examples of his work in the girls' comics.
I started to say something sensible but my parents took over my brain!
Andy Tew also was excellent at ballet, and I think Tony Thewenetti was very good in the Lorna Drake stories. Princess managed to get together a very good stable of artists for the Sally Doyle stories - mainly Hugh Thornton-Jones and Dudley Wynne, but also people like R B Davis and Bill Lacey, and a lot of the ballet/dance scenes were first class.
I've also come to like Ana Rodriguez's work on dance-related stories. It's an unconventional style, and I'm not sure how correct her ballet positions are, but it has great spirit and spontaneity.
Ana's ballet stories included "Cindy of Swan Lake" (Tammy), which was very popular with readers, and "Blind Ballerina" (Jinty).

Our Cleverly Named BLOG!
Computer Medic has been providing the Austin area with computers and computer services since 1998. We are located in south Austin at the southwest corner of South Congress Avenue and Ramble Lane, just north of Stassney, approximately 12 blocks south of Highway 71 (Ben White Boulevard.) We are in the third building from Congress in Suite #117.
Scott, Owner and Principal
Scott has lived in Austin since childhood. Before founding Computer Medic in 1998, he worked as an Editor for Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Publishers where he was the Lead in developing the American edition of the ground-breaking SciencePlus educational series. The blank spot on his resume is from a period of indecision that came after that ended, in 1996. Back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, Scott earned a BA in Geology from the University of Texas at Austin, a degree he somehow never used. But he has managed to accumulate a fairly good mineral collection (come see the meteorites!) When he grows up, he hopes to visit exotic destinations across the world and write travel books. He lives in South Austin with canine companion Frieda (see below.)
Richard, Gatekeeper and Utility Infielder
Richard has led a remarkably varied life. Originally from Midland-Odessa, Richard first enjoyed a career as a geophysicist in the oil industry. When oil crashed in the mid-1980s he switched gears and opened a business offering satellite TV services. When that crashed in the 1990s, he married and moved to Saltillo, Mexico. When that crashed around 2000 he moved to Austin where he opened a business shipping packages to and from Latin America. No, not those kinds of packages. And when that crashed, he sold his house, pulled up his moorings and sought out the peripatetic life. Semi-retired now, Richard helps out in myriad ways, principally greeting customers, whom he cheerfully engages with his quick wit and encyclopedic knowledge of current events. No politics, please.
Carlos, Lead Technician
Carlos comes to us from Chiapas, Mexico, by way of McAllen. He worked for Apple Computer for a time, and has a deep background in all things Mac as an Apple Certified Professional. He also has great knowledge and experience with PCs, both software and hardware. If you need a repair on your iPad or iPhone, Carlos is your guy!
Paul, Technician
Originally from the United Kingdom, Paul has been in Austin for many years, and active in the PC business much of that time.
Alvin, Technician
Alvin spent more than 30 years in the automotive business, followed by ten years as a professional dog trainer, with showings at prestigious Schutzen competitions across the United States. He is currently semi-retired and aiming to keep it that way.
Frieda, Scott’s newest pack member, is a consummate schmoozer and loves absolutely everybody. (Well, except for that one guy, but we don’t dwell on that.) Just kidding- scratch behind her ears and she’s all yours. Yes, she’s part Rhodesian Ridgeback. How about that awesome double whorl!

MELBOURNE MUSIC WEEK
Lena Tuck
Arts & Entertainment, Lifestyle
Melbourne Music Week (MMW), is about to take the city by storm, so listen carefully when I say this is not to be missed.

Mold! (2012)
CineDump Rating: ★★★½
Mold! comes to us from newcomer Neil Meshino and stars a bunch of people you’ve probably never heard of. While most readers would tune out now, please don’t, because Mold! is definitely worth your time. And what a messy time it is. Meschino, co-writer/director, unleashes a hefty amount of blood, guts and enough slime to make Nickelodeon blush.
So what are we dealing with exactly? Set in 1984, when the war on drugs was at an all time high, the story concerns a genetically engineered strain of mold developed by the government to wipe out Colombian coca fields. Unfortunately, during a small demonstration, the mold gets out of control and proves to eat not just the vegetation but human flesh as well. Are you hooked yet? I must admit that after we popped this one it took a little bit to grab my interest, but while Mold! has a bit of a slow set up, when it kicks in, it doesn’t look back.
While the effects aren’t the best, it still adds to the overall appeal of this, what could be, cult classic. Production knew what they had and rather than waste money throwing it at computer graphics they went with a more minimal approach. By opting to go a bit more practical, Mold! drives home the idea that this is an obvious love letter that would make most horror hounds’ mouths water.
Still, while the effects are simple, they work extremely well. While Mold! might not be the latest entry in the Nuke ‘Em High series, I could easily see Uncle Lloydie giving his stamp of approval. Don’t get me wrong -Mold! is a budget title, but Meshino brings a high degree of craft and aesthetic ingenuity to what otherwise would be a forgotten flick.
The obvious highlight of the film, to me anyway, was the motley assortment of scientists and government officials who are trying to figure out a way to contain the murderous mildew. Edward X. Young plays a hard-nosed, cigar-chomping colonel who dishes out more one liners than a Twitter comedian. He along with the crooked congressman played by James Murphy had me rolling for most of the feature. While pretty much all of the cast was entertaining, it was these two who are the biggest assets to an already capable cast. The dialogue was on point, and the writing was top tier for the most part.
While on the surface Mold! may appear to be just another Troma clone, but I have to say its been a while since I’ve encountered something with so much heart. You could easily tell that everyone involved had a good time putting this together. Mold! may not perfect, but it gets enough right to be entertaining for anyone willing to give it a shot.
If Mold! sounds like something you’d be interested in checking out, do so. Because I assure you, you will not be disappointed. That being said, I could easily see this as being the next midnight staple at your local cinema, but if you want to be one step ahead of the game, Mold! is currently available on both DVD and VHS. Check out Wild Eye Releasing and order your copy today.

Daena Jay Music
Songwriter | Performing Artist | Topliner
daena jay has released 3 ep's, and can be found performing live in and around Los Angeles.
Daena’s debut project, a 5-song EP titled ‘When The Bough Breaks’, released in 2012, is richly layered – painting melancholic pictures in tension with playful overtones and melodies featuring ironic tales of hope and fateful reality, set to an epic and haunting soundtrack.
Daena’s follow-up EP, SUBDIVISION, released in 2014, takes on a more aggressive and bold sound with a beat-based musicality and rhythmic vocal melodies. Lyrically, SUBDIVSION has fewer introspective and melancholy moments while capturing more visceral and primal expressions.
'Songs For Kissing', a collection of sweet, sad, and vibey love songs, is the perfect backdrop for all matters of heart. This collection, released in July 2015, includes two ballads - ‘The Gray’ and ‘This Is How We Love’, that were featured on CBS’s Young & The Restless. It also has 2 vibey, chill songs called ‘Stay Forever’ and ‘The Other Side’ - which was used to launch Amuse Society’s 2015 Fall Collection in a special video presentation called Down By The Sea. And to finish it off, there are 2 live performances - one is a deeply-sad love song, called ‘On My Skin’, and the last tune is a stripped-down version of ‘What You Always Wanted'.

This is such a wonderful competition! This is a reallly hard question because I loove all the book scenes so much! There are soo many good action, suspenseful and romance scenes! But in all books, I really like when there's that point in the story where some little piece clicks and makes sense, soo when Four's father is revealed as the character talked about in the very beginning as the guy Tris' dad worked with who had the "disgraceful son that turned against their faction" I really liked the relation! Even though I really do not like Marcus :D

Nattalie El Kaadi 24 March 2014 at 21:47
First of all I just want to say thank you for giving us this WONDERFUL opportunity, to win tickets to the divergent premiere. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I loved the whole book, so its a hard decision to choose which was my favourite scene. I think the scene that really grabbed at me was when Tris sees Four's fears in the simulation. I always find myself replaying the scene over and over again in my head. Mostly I find the whole book brilliant, fantastic, suspenseful and entertaining from the very beginning till the end.
Good choice! Don't forget to leave your email so I can contact you if you win!

Loopylu-1 (at) hotmail (dot) co (dot) uk
I really liked how in Allegiant Tris forgave her brother after all he had done because she realised the value of family and I like how this showed that even if she had killed people she was truly good.
I also like the bit leading on from this where she faced the death serum. I liked how she used her family and friends to give her hope even when she had lost all herself ; she used it to get her through it all . I thought it was really beautiful and cute the way Love brought her faith and hope .
"One choice will define you."
*Makes nodding gesture* YES YES YES! Cannot wait to see how this plays out in the film of Allegiant! Good luck!
I'm so glad they are planning to make the rest of the films and thankyou :)
Sasha Finley 24 March 2014 at 21:54
My favourite scene is definitely Tris' final fear landscape. Just imagining how it looked to the people watching the screens who couldn't see what was going on is hilarious.

First of all I want to thank you for this WONDERFUL giveaway you presented us with and the opportunity to win tickets.THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I loved the whole book and picking a favourite scene is very hard to choose. I think the scene that most grabbed me and got me jumping out of my chair is when Tris is getting beaten up and Four comes (with his almighty glory) and saves her. I'm always repeating this scene in my head when i'm reading the book. This book as a whole is amazing and full of suspense and action.

charlottegeorgina [at] yahoo [dot] co [dot] uk
what a lovely giveaway! this should be such an easy question to answer but with three books the possibilites are endless! i think one of the scenes i really do love is at the very beginning of divergent when tris is having her hair cut by natalie and the whole book is introduced because you know its the start of the most amazing series ever :) second errr when tobias has to throw the knife at tris and it hits her ear a little i think that was sooo well written and it makes me smile so much :) and finally i would say one from allegiant but im still upset about it ughhfg but i loved the zip wire scene in divergent too that was so well written and i just really loved that part :)
auntygeek 25 March 2014 at 09:01
Favourite moments.... [spoiler]
So many to choose from, so many shocking twists and turns that left me gripped reading it for the first time... but overall - when Tris realises she can manipulate the simulations and the power that gives her. I love seeing her start to believe in herself and believe she has a chance fighting Jeanine and all the evil things she is witnessing. My first time reading it, I remember cheering her on but also desperately reading as fast as I could to find out what happened next! I loved watching Tris grow and realise how strong she really was, and had been all along.
helenmarybutt[at]gmail[dot]com.
Fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck everyone, what an amazing prize :)
Natalie White 25 March 2014 at 09:06
I really liked the scene when Tris jumped from the train for the first time... and then jumped from the roof! My heart was racing as I was reading it :) my email is nats (at) natshome dot co [dot] uk. :)
Rita 25 March 2014 at 15:15
My favourite scene is Tris's simulation in Diveregent. I fell in love with her character at that moment. When she decides to switch to Dauntless and she is the first one to jump into that chasm, where she just has to have faith that there will be something down there to catch her…its the moment that Tris becomes one of my absolute favorite characters. Tris is the only transfer from Abnegation and everyone is making fun of her, and they’re already underestimating her before she can even do anything and the fact that she undresses herself a bit and throws it at Peter, and then takes that first jump. Its beautiful and I love that scene. Its also the scene where she and Four meet for the first time, and where she changes her name from Beatrice to Tris, so I just love it. Its the one scene where I’ll probably tear up and jump up and down in my seat when I see the film.

My favourite scene from the trilogy comes at the end of Allegiant. Whilst there are many beautiful "Fourtris" scenes throughout the trilogy, one of my favourite moments between them comes after Tris has already passed away yet she never truly left Tobias at all. In the zipline scene in which Four scatters Tris's ashes, he loses a part of her physically but gains an even greater emotional connection to her as he is able to understand her even better by experiencing something she loved. Even after her death Tris is there for Four, to help him conquer his fears. That's why I love this scene the best - plus it helps all of us say goodye to Tris as well!!
PS. Thankyou for the opportunity of having a chance of winning these tickets!!
xemilyjane[at]live[dot]co[dot]uk
First of all THANK YOU! for this opportunity. The Divergent trilogy are my favourite books ever so it would be amazing to win these tickets.
My favourite scene has to be in Insurgent when Tris is put on the peace serum in Amity. I love this scene because it is hilarious and shows us a completely different side to Tris. My favourite line is definitely when Tobias says 'Come on. Oh for god's sake. I'll just carry you.' I also love some of the things Tris come's out with when Tobias is arguing with Johanna like, 'You have a nice voice.' Another funny part is when Tris is saying to Tobias, 'That's why you like me! Because you're not very nice either!'
Thank you so so much for this competition, I really hope you consider me because this is my dream!!
Jake Hogan 25 March 2014 at 17:30
Amazing giveaway thank you SO much for the chance to enter it! :)
My FAVOURITE scene had to be at the end of INSURGENT *Spoilers*
When Tobias showed them the video which was going to reveal to everyone the truth of Chicago and how the book ends with "Then the shouting began" :)
chloegambrill 25 March 2014 at 18:48
To start with I am going to say a great big THANK YOU for this competition as to answer this you have to have read the books, unlike a lot of the other competitions. I love all three books so much, I could happily say they have dominated my life since I read them. It's very hard to think of a particular scene that I enjoyed the most out of all the scenes from divergent. As my favorite scene I am going to choose the scene where Tris is being hung over the chasm by Peter, Al and co. I really love the part of this scene where Four comes to rescue her from death. I love the way that Four shows true bravery in this scene and represents truly what dauntless is about, where'as the others hanging Tris over the chasm are cowards, who are scared of loosing and so want rid of the competition, instead of being brave and fighting for it, the opposite of what they should be in Dauntless. I love the way Four protects Tris in this scene, and is brave for her, defending her even when they were not yet together and she was only his pupil.

First of all I would like to say a great big THANK YOU for this competition, as to enter this competition you have to have read the books, unlike a lot of the other competitions. I love the divergent series so much, and it would mean the world to have the opportunity to go to the premiere. It's an incredibly hard decision to make, but I have to say that my favorite scene from divergent is when Peter, Al and co are hanging Tris over the chasm. I love this scene because just as you think Tris' quest to become dauntless is over, Four comes and saves her from her fate. I love the way that Four represents Dauntless like a true warrior, he is brave and he goes to rescue her despite being outnumbered. I also like how this contrasts with how Peter and Al are attempting to murder Tris out of fear, as they do not want to loose their place in Dauntless, suggesting that they are cowards and do not really deserve to be there. Overall I love the way the scene hints at the future relationship that will happen between Tris and Four/Tobias. In this scene we see that he cares for her because he comes to rescue her, and beats his students up rather than telling them off. This is when the true Four starts to be revealed, as his hard core is removed and we get to see the Four that all readers of Divergent love!!
nic hasbany 25 March 2014 at 19:02
thank you so much for this amazing giveaway! i loved the part when four and tris was climbing up the Ferris wheel! i felt like i was tris, climbing up each step with four behind me! that scene felt so real! x
Sarah Seymour-Griffiths 25 March 2014 at 21:06
My favourite is probably when Al, Peter and Drew try to kill Tris. It really got my heart pumping it was so intense :)

Raphaëlle Lamour 26 March 2014 at 13:48
First of all, thank you for the competition. I appreciate that it's not one of these "follow and RT" but that we can actually justify ourselves and be creative! I'll try my best but english is not my first language so please forgive my grammatical mistakes (However i do live in the uk so I'm eligeable for the competition :p and I'm 100% available on sunday for the premiere! :) )
/!\ SPOILERS FROM ALLEGIANT
My favourite scene from the divergent series comes from the last pages of allegiant. I'm Talking about the scene in which Tobias and all Tris's friends releases Tris's ashes, over coming his fears of Heights and riding the zip line.
This passage was heartbraking, but also beautiful. It shows Tobias's grief but also the legacy left by Tris. It shows that even after a loved one passes away, and are not their physically, They never completely leave you, as They give you strenght to keep on living. tobias, without Tris's memory, would have never Been able to ride the zip line: even dead, she will keep influencing him in a good way. By releasing the ashes, Four is able to say goodbye and move on. It's an end, but also the begining of a new story, in which Tris would never be completely absent.
I hope it makes sense, but yeap, Veronica Roth made my heart MELT the day i read this scene :) it's accurate, beautiful and a bit sad, but it's a wonderful conclusion to the series :')
raphaelle (dot) lmr (at) gmail (dot) com
Thank you for considering me :)
Megan x 26 March 2014 at 14:03
Basically I love any scene with Four in it however I think my favourite scene from the first novel would be either the scene where Tris sees Four's fears in the simulation or the part when Tris and Four are climbing the ferris wheel. I also love the scene when Peter saves Tris (without giving too much away) in Insurgent!

Thank you so much for this competition! Such an incredible prize! It's so unbelievably hard to define one scene as my favourite because there are so many gorgeously written scenes to choose from, but I would have to say Tris' final scene in Allegiant (only after re-reading it did i fully appreciate the writing, i thing the full body shaking and sobbing distracted me slightly). Of course I didn't want Tris to go, but the way she went out was absolutely beautiful and so perfect for her character. It truly showed her divergence and ability to act with selflessness, intelligence and bravery. Loved it just as much as I hated it. (still crying about it months later)

Thanks for the opportunity to win these tickets :) My favourite scene is the Choosing Ceremony because it’s such a pivotal moment for Tris – that particular spark of bravery when she makes her choice is a turning point for her, and it also delivers an important message – we have to choose the path that is right for us, that allows us to pursue the things that matter to us most without fear of judgement, even if it is not the easiest path to take.

Companies That Are Good To Women Entrepreneurs
Certain companies are good to women entrepreneurs. This list, provided by the Women's Business Enterprise National Council, honors companies that award contracts to women business owners in a fair and consistent way.
Women entrepreneurs have no problems at all competing with their male counterparts.
Seriously, most of the best entrepreneurs we know are female entrepreneurs.
But, nonetheless, there's the occasional idiot sexist pig who's not going to give a contract to a business simply because it's one of the many small businesses owned by a woman.
It's for that reason that we're glad that the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) keeps an eye on which corporations are doing right by women business owners.
The WBENC recently announced its annual listing of America's Top Corporations for Women's Business Enterprises.
The annual award honors those corporations that are the best at creating a level playing field for women's business enterprises (WBEs) to compete for corporate contracts.
This year's awards, honoring firms that did well in 2008, has 19 winning companies on the list, a record high for the award. Winners include the following firms:
AT&T Inc.
Avis Budget Group, Inc.
Energy Future Holdings
Exxon Mobil Corporation
Manpower Inc.
Shell Oil Company
Linda Denny, president and CEO of WBENC, is a strong advocate for women's business enterprises (WBEs) as vendors and suppliers to the nation's leading corporations.
She's pleased to see that more companies have improved their capabilities in awarding contracts to women business owners. Many of the firms are repeat winners, but Accenture, Dell, and Manpower made the list for the first time this year.
"It is exciting to see new companies join this elite list, which recognizes their success in building a world class supplier diversity program," said Denny.
To win the award, corporations must have procurement policies that offer equal access to women and result in a high volume of business with women-owned companies.
WBENC is one of many excellent resources for female entrepreneurs. You can find additional information on them at www.wbenc.org.
We applaud WBENC for putting together these awards.
I think a good next step for them might be to offer a Worst Supplier Diversity Program award that exposes large corporations that don't offer female business owners equal access to contract.
Unfortunately, with large corporations, boos are more motivating than boosts. Battery is more effective than flattery. You get the idea.

3rd ODI – SOUTH AFRICA VS INDIA – FANTASY PREVIEW
By Anand Thiyagarajan
Team India’s domination continued in the second match and now they have an unassailable 2-0 lead in a six match ODI series. Lot of injury issues hurts the home side South Africa and the latest addition to the list is the wicket-keeper Quinton de Kock. The visitors has an upper hand at the moment, but South Africans would not give up easily. Third ODI between South Africa vs India schedule to start at 1 PM Local | 4:30 PM IST on Wednesday, 7th February 2018.
The team which won 17 one-day internationals at home, now faced back-to-back heavy defeats on the hands of India in the on-going series. The star player AB de Villiers was the first one who ruled out for 3 matches with an injury. After scored a well deserved century in the first game, skipper Faf du Plessis had been ruled out from remainder of India series with fractured finger. The importance of those two big players in South Africa lineup had seen very clearly when the team bowled out for the lowest total at home on Sunday. Quinton de Kock who struggled for form throughout the home season, now ruled out for the remainder of the series with wrist injury. Batting all-rounder Farhaan Behardien and wicket-keeper Heinrich Klaasen were added to the squad ahead of 2nd ODI last Sunday. Now on the absence of De Kock, Klaasen will make an ODI debut and will do wicket-keeper’s job behind the stumps. As Quinton is not available, the opening slot is open now. Stand-in skipper Aiden Markram who used to open the innings in test format, will open the innings along with the experienced Hashim Amla. Markram generally play so well in limited overs format, but he failed with single digit-scores in both occasions. Now, he is in critical situation to prove that he has ability to lead the side and also could score lot of runs with a bat.
The classic Hashim Amla started off well in positive way in both matches but failed in playing big knocks. He departed for scores 16 and 23 runs respectively. With this weak batting unit, Amla’s responsibilities has been increased to the mountain level and he needs to take full burden on his shoulders. Amla used to play for Cape Cobras in domestic matches and that will help him to perform better in Cape Town. Batting all-rounder JP Duminy is expected to move forward in the batting order and bat at no. 3. Duminy tried a lot in the last match but he also fell at one point for 25 runs. He has played so many good knocks for Cobras at this same venue this year, hopefully will play another good innings at Newlands, Cape Town. Limited overs specialist David Miller’s failures continue in the international matches. He scored 7 and 0 respectively in those first two matches. Miller has a lot of things to prove at this level of his career and he could come with a challenging performances in this crucial match. Khaya Zondo made his debut in the last game and scored very crucial 25 runs in middle-order. He had played enough of List A matches and performed so well in that. He will keep his place in the XI and no surprise if he play match saving knock in this game.
South Africa definitely in a need of extra batsman and that would bring Farhaan Behardien in to the XI. He had a stunning domestic season for Titans and as he awaiting to get back in South Africa’s jersey for long time, he won’t miss the opportunity like this. His part-time bowling also will play a role in this game. Heinrich Klaasen set to make his debut for South Africa and he may bat at no. 6 or 7 based on match situations. South Africa has played with two spinners Imran Tahir and Tabraiz Shamsi but that strategy didn’t work out in that last game. Shamsi may go back to bench and in that case Tahir will get a company from part-timers like Duminy and Markram. Chris Morris yet to pick a wicket in this series, but his useful contribution with a bat at lower order was very crucial for the team. He is quality bowler and he could be back to form at any moment. Kagiso Radaba has huge amount of pressure on him after those two average performances. He is the big impact bowler and he may pick at least 2 wickets in this game. Morne Morkel has a chance to make a way for the youngster Lungi Ngidi.
INDIA :
Team India moved to top of the ICC Rankings for the ODI teams with those back-to-back wins in the ongoing series against South Africa. Wrist spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav had played a big hands in both matches and turned matches on their team favor. Chahal and Kuldeep has shared 8 wickets among them in the last match on Sunday. India’s top order batting also looks solid at the moment but Rohit Sharma was the only one who dismissed for 20 or fewer runs in both occasions. Skipper Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan took team home safely with 9 wickets victory in the last game. As South Africa side looks more weaker with injuries, India has a good chance to take 3-0 lead in the series. Rohit Sharma started the innings with 2 fours and a six in early overs, but couldn’t carry into half-century or more. The only player who scored double-century thrice in ODIs, should find his rhythm back by playing long innings.
Shikhar Dhawan had another good start on other day, this time he scored an unbeaten half-century. Dhawan who had a very good 2017, carrying forward that form to 2018 too. Dhawan is expected to play much bigger innings in this game. King of Chasing Virat Kohli has played one more good innings in the chase on Sunday and he scored an unbeaten 46 runs. He is the best batsman and a trump card of India, with the form he is in India could chase any kind of target. Ajinkya Rahane involved in the match winning partnership with Kohli in the first game and scored 79 runs. It was his 5th half-century in five consecutive innings. Rahane didn’t get an opportunity to bat in the last game as India won by 9 wickets, but he could play another good innings in this game. Former skipper MS Dhoni, Hardik Pandya and Kedar Jadhav would take care of middle-order business once again. Both Pandya and Jadhav used to share fifth bowlers job while Dhoni take cares of gloves work behind the stumps. All three of them didn’t get enough of batting opportunities in both matches, but once the time is come, they will play a key role for the team.
Spin sensations Chahal and Kuldeep turned the match into India’s favor in Durban by picking wickets in middle-overs. The duo done the same in centurion too. Chahal has picked his first ever five wicket haul in the ODIs while Kuldeep settled with back-to-back three wicket hauls. Both the spinners economical rate also mind-blowing and they are the biggest threat for South Africa in the series. Bhuvneshwar Kumar who bowled an expensive spell in the first game, came back strongly with a spell of 1 for 19 runs in 5 overs. His new-ball partner Jasprit Bumrah also bowled well and claimed 1 for just 12 runs in 5 overs. As Cape Town surface helps pace bowlers Bhuvi and Bumrah may take more wickets in this game.

Ktaka crisis 5 more MLAs approach SC allege Speaker not accepting resignations
Aneesha Mathur New DelhiJuly 13, 2019UPDATED: July 13, 2019 20:15 IST Karnataka assembly Speaker Ramesh Kumar had earlier denied the allegations, saying he was only following rules. (Photo: IANS)Five more rebel MLAs from Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) in Karnataka on Saturday approached the Supreme Court, alleging that the assembly Speaker, KR Ramesh Kumar did not accept their resignations.In their plea to the Supreme Court, the five MLAs — Anand Singh, Munirathna, K Sudhakar, MTB Nagaraju and Roshan Baig — have sought impleadment in the already pending application filed by the 10 other rebel MLAs on which the hearing is scheduled for Tuesday.The five MLAs who moved the Supreme Court on Saturday said that the legislators, who have submitted their resignations, have the “fundamental right to resign in consultation with their conscience or other attendant circumstances”.They also allege that the actions and the delay caused by the Speaker are in violation of the fundamental rights of the MLAs.”The right to resign from their office is their fundamental right as a citizen and as a public representative. It is humbly submitted that the actions of the Hon’ble Speaker are in violation of the fundamental rights of the Applicants,” the plea stated.It should be noted that the Speaker had earlier denied the allegations, saying that he is only following the Constitution and the rules. Justifying his actions, Speaker KR Ramesh said, “I am delaying the matter because I love this land. I only the Constitution. I am not acting in haste because of my love for the people.”The MLAs have said they are “identically placed” with the 10 MLAs who were granted status quo orders on Friday by the bench headed by the Chief justice of India.The rebel MLAs also argued that unlike the other 10 lawmakers, they had submitted their resignations in person to the Speaker and had followed the procedure of resignation. Hence, the MLAs said, no objections were raised by the Speaker regarding the format like he [the Speaker] happened in case of the other 10 other lawmakers.”Therefore, no objections were raised by the Speaker regarding the format, but the Speaker has still failed to accept their resignations so far. Further, there were no pending disqualification proceedings against them at the time of resignation. The act of submitting in person itself shows the voluntary nature and genuineness of the resignation,” the plea stated.The plea also added that “there is no scope for inquiry” into their resignations.They have also opposed the Karnataka government’s move to initiate disqualification proceedings against the MLAs who skipped the legislature party meeting on July 9. “The non-attendance of the legislature party meeting outside the House does not amount to a ground for disqualification,” the MLAs argued.The MLAs have also expressed their “apprehension” regarding their “safety” after MLA K Sudhakar was allegedly “held up” in a room where the embattled party leaders tried to convince him not to quit.”Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy has announced on July 12 on the floor of the House that they would be seeking a floor test. It is submitted that despite the applicants’ resignations, they are being threatened to support the government on the threat of disqualification,” the plea read.These 10 rebel MLAs of Congress- JD(S) coalition who moved the apex court earlier alleging that the Speaker was not accepting their resignations were Pratap Gouda Patil, Ramesh Jarkiholi, Byrati Basavaraj, BC Patil, S T Somashekhar, Arbail Shivaram Hebbar, Mahesh Kumathalli, K Gopalaiah, A H Vishwanath and Narayana Gowda.Hearing their plea, the Supreme Court had on Friday restrained Karnataka Speaker K R Ramesh Kumar from taking any decision till Tuesday on the resignation and disqualification of these 10 MLAs.Citing “weighty issues that have arisen”, the apex court had said it will consider the matter on July 16 and ordered that the status quo as of Friday should be maintained.The resignation of these MLAs has plunged the HD Kumaraswamy government in Karnataka into a crisis as it faces the risk of losing majority in the Assembly.Also Read | MLAs have given resignation in right format now: Karnataka Speaker KR Ramesh clarifiesAlso Read | Karnataka crisis: Speaker asked us to go to hell, rebel MLAs tell Supreme CourtAlso Watch | Kumaraswamy trust vote offer a googly or full toss?For the latest World Cup news, live scores and fixtures for World Cup 2019, log on to indiatoday.in/sports.

Andhra Pradesh YS Jagan Mohan Reddy govt presents its first budget
Press Trust of India AmravatiJuly 12, 2019UPDATED: July 12, 2019 22:02 IST Andhra Pradesh CM Jagan Mohan Reddy. (Image: Twitter)The YS Jagan Mohan Reddy government on Friday presented its first Budget in the Andhra Pradesh Legislature with a total outlay of Rs 2.27 lakh crore for 2019-20.In February, the then Telugu Desam Party government had presented a Rs 2.26 lakh crore vote-on-account budget ahead of the general elections.The revised estimates for 2018-19 showed a cut of over Rs 29,000 crore in the budget, against the Rs 1.19 lakh crore estimates presented in March last year.Finance Minister Buggana Rajendranath, who presented his budget, estimated that the revenue deficit would be Rs 1,778.52 crore and the fiscal deficit Rs 35,260.58 crore.The huge revenue deficit continues to be a cause for concern as the state, reeling under an acute financial crisis, is faced with a mounting expenditure bill with the introduction of numerous new doles for different sections.As per the figures given by the Finance Minister, the revenue deficit in 2018-19 was estimated to be Rs 11,654.91 crore, down from Rs 16,151.68 crore in the previous year.Of the total expenditure of Rs 2,27,974.99 crore proposed in the 2019-20 Budget, revenue expenditure estimated alone would be Rs 1,80,475.94 crore, Finance Minister Buggana Rajendranath said.Capital expenditure was estimated at Rs 32,293.39 crore, including Rs 8,994 crore towards principal repayment of public debt.Incidentally, the states debt burden soared to Rs 2,58,928 crore by the end of the 2019 fiscal.”This government has inherited probably one of the worst financial positions ever inherited in the history of our country.The debt of the residuary state at the time of bifurcation (in June 2014), which was Rs 1,30,654 crore, reached a whopping Rs 2,58,928 crore by 2018-19, Buggana Rajendranath said.Further, over Rs 10,000 crore was borrowed through various corporations and diverted for spending by government.Another Rs 18,000 crore worth bills were kept pending, he added.”With all these liabilities, as soon as we came into the government, we were told that there was a resource gap of around Rs 45,000 crore to fulfill the commitments under.Vote-on-Account budget presented in February.This resource gap is further amplified by the budget necessary for our new programmes, Buggana Rajendra also said.The demand for Special Category Status to Andhra Pradesh thus gained significance, the Minister noted.”The Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014 was passed only after Special Category Status was promised and this was not the case with any other bifurcation.Andhra Pradesh is the only state that is demanding Special Category Status for reasons beyond its control, as bifurcation has severely deteriorated the finances of the state,” the minister pointed out.Also, Andhra Pradesh was the only state whose Special Category Status was approved by the Union Cabinet but has been pending for implementation, he said.”Therefore, I am appealing to the Prime Minister and Government of India that Andhra Pradesh be given Special Category Status,” the Finance Minister said.Summing up his presentation, Buggana Rajendranath quoted the great political philosopher Chanakya, saying the latters”Chaturvidha Vikasa” (four-pronged development) would be the goal of their government.”Achieving the desired target,sustaining the achievement, expanding the sustained achievements, ensuring expanded results…are useful for all, the minister said, quoting ChanakyaALSO READ | Lok Sabha clears bill to set up central, tribal universities in Andhra PradeshALSO WATCH | Nataka in Karnataka: Rahul Gandhi breaks his silence, says BJP using money power to topple govtsFor the latest World Cup news, live scores and fixtures for World Cup 2019, log on to indiatoday.in/sports.

Kerala CM takes dig at Congress MLAs on quitting spree
Kerala CM takes dig at Congress MLAs on quitting spreeApparently referring to the mass resignations in Congress in various states, including Karnataka and Goa, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan asked whether a party like that “should remain an orphan without a leader” at a time when the country was going through a very difficult phase.advertisement Next Press Trust of India ThiruvananthapuramJuly 12, 2019UPDATED: July 12, 2019 22:42 IST Pinarayi Vijayan said the Congress leadership must be prepared to face the challenges. (Photo: PTI)With Congress lawmakers quitting and cosying up to BJP in various states, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan took a dig at them, saying the grand old party was giving a helping hand in the saffron party’s membership drive.”In various states, the people’s representatives and leaders of the congress are joining the BJP. Congress has become a party engaged in increasing the membership of the BJP,” he said at a function.Apparently referring to the mass resignations in Congress in various states, including Karnataka and Goa, Vijayan asked whether a party like that “should remain an orphan without a leader” at a time when the country was going through a very difficult phase.Pinarayi Vijayan said the Congress leadership must be prepared to face the challenges.Not only during victories, but also during a crisis situation, there is a need to face it and give strong leadership, he said.The Chief Minister said the CPI(M) had for long been saying that those in the Congress cannot be trusted and none were sure when they would leave their party.There is no limit to the money being floated by the BJP, he said adding, Congressmen were like rats meekly following the pied piper.Meanwhile, KPCC President Mullapally Ramachandran hit out at Vijayan, saying he should find immediate solutions to strengthen CPI(M) at the national and state levels after the drubbing the Left front received in the Lok Sabha polls, instead of interfering in Congress’ internal affairs.”Congress does not want Vijayan’s panecea for resurrecting the party,” he said.Vijayan had from the beginning thwarted Rahul Gandhi’s efforts to form a front of secular democratic forces against the BJP at the national level, Ramachandran said in a statement.Also Read | Goa CM Pramod Sawant seeks resignation of 3 ministers, independent MLA to induct new facesAlso Read | Karnataka crisis: Will face all issues on floor of House, says CM KumaraswamyAlso Watch | Kumaraswamy seeks floor test, says he govt has numbersFor the latest World Cup news, live scores and fixtures for World Cup 2019, log on to indiatoday.in/sports.

it’s another kind of violation and intended for media consumption Journalists reporting on it are indeed doing the work the hackers wanted them to do But they’re not simply posting raw hacked data wholesale They’re applying judgment–not always correct judgment but judgment nonetheless–and deciding what part of the information constitutes news You might not think a Hollywood salary dispute say is important news but if it were reported through normal means no one would bat an eye at it So the real question here is: does information that otherwise would be considered news suddenly become Not News because it’s given to you by bad people through bad means for bad reasons To answer we need to ask to borrow a journalistic cliché who what where when why and how Or at least four of them: How: How did the Sony data come out Because someone stole it plain and simple What’s not plain and simple is whether that makes it off-limits It would be nice if there were a plain and simple rule and that’s what Sorkin tries to set arguing the legal standard of “the fruit of the poisoned tree” But… When: Stolen info is not always off-limits as he later notes: it wasn’t in the case of the Pentagon Papers–or for that matter in the main storyline of The Newsroom‘s final season in which the ACN crew held fast to their right to report an international-news story leaked by a Snowden-esque government whistleblower Dean Baquet the editor of the New York Times has said that the Sony data is “not the Pentagon Papers” and yet “we have used documents surfaced by others” Reporters do traffic in stolen information and report on communications they’re not supposed to have access to The question is when: Which brings us to… What: In other words is any of this material legitimate news Would we consider it newsworthy if it were obtained by other means Certainly a lot of the details the press has been picking over have been little more than gossip (Then again so is a lot of Hollywood news not obtained through stolen e-mails) But whether or not you think that executives’ racist jokes about President Obama are the equivalent of the Donald Sterling scandal it’s hard to claim in the same year as the Sterling news that they’re not news at all And if it’s important–indeed scandalous–that someone may be trying to punish a studio for offending North Korea how is it not news (as the New York Times reported using the e-mails) that that same studio asked filmmakers to change their movie to avoid offending North Korea in the first place And if it isn’t… Why: The critiques of reporting the data come down to the motives of the hackers If (as is possible though not definitive) they stole the documents to punish artistic expression should news organizations have a higher bar because the source has bad motives Should there be a lower bar for publishing stolen information from a whistleblower with good intentions And who decides which intentions are which News outlets decided that the information from the Edward Snowden leaks–also called “fencing stolen goods” by some–was important enough to publish Snowden claimed patriotic motives–but what if he didn’t Say he provided the exact same information but did it with the express intention of bringing about the downfall of the United States Would the same information suddenly become off-limits because of the mindset of the person who provided it That last question is the one that finally bothers me I agree the press shouldn’t be complicit in airing snuff films disseminating stolen nude pictures reprinting the Social Security numbers of people who work for a targeted company I agree that “We can and other people will do it if we don’t” isn’t a good reason to run a story “We’ll get a lot of traffic from it” is even worse From all we can see the Sony hack was a vile act done for vile reasons But I’m also disturbed by the idea of the press deciding who’s stealing information for the right reasons and for the wrong ones and adjusting its definition of news accordingly In the end the right question to ask–at least journalistically–is “Would this be news if we got it under other circumstances” News judgment isn’t easy and it can often be wrong But I’d rather have news outlets judging news than judging their sources Contact us at editors@timecom then man up and find the stones to fire him.Friends is back" a Yahoo representative told TIME in an email.

Javier was born in Quezon City, Philippines and raised in Jersey City, New Jersey. Surrounded by family who loved to cook and loved to eat even more, Javier’s relationship with food had been fostered around the dinner table.
Javier graduated from Johnson and Wales University with an Associates degree in Culinary Arts in 2001 and a Bachelors degree in Food Service Management in 2003.
During University, Javier worked as a line cook at Restaurant 44 at the Royalton Hotel in New York City with Chef Bill Pete, and at Napa Valley Grille in Providence, Rhode Island with Chef Stuart Cameron. His initial experience sparked Javier’s love for the culinary universe.
After graduation, Javier spent 2 years at Bouley Restaurant under the tutelage of Chef David Bouley and Chef Cesar Ramirez. In 2005, Javier began work under Chef Marcus Samuelson and Chef Nils Noren at Aquavit.
By the end of the year, Javier was introduced to Bill Telepan, and became part of the opening team of Telepan. Javier worked as sous chef alongside Chef Telepan and Chef Josh Lawler, learning responsible sourcing of in-season ingredients. This served as the foundation of Chef Javier’s cooking philosophy.
While at Telepan, Javier was appointed Chef Coordinator at the post-James Beard Awards VIP Dinner in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2013.
After 6 years at Telepan Javier refined his techniques at various restaurants throughout Europe. He staged at Chef Fergus Henderson’s St. John in London, and Chef Sergi Arolo and Chef Manuel Berganza’s Sergi Arolo Gastro in Madrid. Javier also served as a chef volunteer for World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF), where he worked with local farms in Spain and Italy. Through WWOOF Javier connected with Gaetano Besana, owner of Oasi de Galbusera Bianca and was hired as a restaurant consultant to revise their menu and provide proper FOH and BOH staff training.
In 2013 Javier returned to the U.S. to open Telepan Local as Executive Chef. Javier created a menu of tapas-style American fare focused on seasonal ingredients. Many menu items, such as his famed fried watercress with chili oil and cashews dish, have been featured in various publications. Between Telepan Local and traveling Javier cooked private dinners and taught cooking classes for private events.
The following year, Javier was awarded by The Outstanding Filipino Americans in New York organization, a 2014 TOFA-NY Award for Food and Restaurants.
After Telepan Local, Javier began his own business venture: Flip Pop-up. Limited-night dinners that showcased his take on modern filipino food. He also became a Reiki practitioner so that he could not only nourish people physically, but through good energies as well. The success of this venture was what inspired Javier to travel around the Philippines and Asia aiming to fully immerse himself in one of the first fusion cuisines in the world- Filipino food. He continues blending his European training and seasonal approach with the flavor accents from his heritage to develop his own cooking style--New American Filipino cuisine.

DEER PARK, Texas -
Even though progress is being made and officials say there is no public threat, residents living near the fire are skepitcal.
“The fire gets bigger, then it comes back down,” says one of Deer Park's residents, hopelessly watching as the smoke comes close to their home, and cleaning up the debris it’s dropping. “Pieces lying in my driveway—all over my vehicle.”
ITC officials say only six of their tanks are still on fire, down from seven earlier today.
All the tanks contain components of gasoline, including xylene and NAPHTHA. The one tank that was extinguished was an empty tank, but ITC officials tell us there has been significant progress on three of the tanks that do contain “chemical and gas components.”
Officials say it may be Wednesday before the flames go out, and that the air quality tests are not detecting anything that should concern residents, but try telling that to the people of Deer Park.
Nicodemus Auguste tells FOX 26, “I don’t believe it at all. This has got to be bad, I mean it’s thinner burning! So, yeah it’s very concerning.”
“I was concerned, because they said it’s all chemicals and everything. So the air is polluted you know. People living around in the area, it’s not for our health, and everything right so,” said Albin Thomas.
Deer Park ISD and La Porte ISD say they will resume classes on Tuesday.
First black person to attend all-white medical school in the South dies in Houston
The first black person to attend and graduate from the University of Arkansas Medical School, and the first black woman to intern at a Baylor College of Medicine-affiliated hospital has died in Houston. She was 91.
Dr. Edith Irby Jones' family told FOX 26 her love for medicine stemmed from losing her 12-year-old sister at the age of eight to typhoid fever, and sufferimg from rheumatic fever herself as a child. She graduated from Knoxville College, and in 1948, she became the first black person to be accepted into UAMS.
According to the Encyclopedia of Arkansas, although Dr. Jones had been accepted into UAMS, she still endured segregation, having to use a different dining, lodging and bathroom facility. Defying the rules at that time, some of her classmates chose to eat and study with her anyway.

A cat named Pickles will soon be up for adoption after she lost her leg when someone used rubber bands to tie a firecracker to her paw.
Humane Animal Rescue, an organization based in Pittsburgh, posted a Twitter thread with photos of Pickles undergoing surgery and after the procedure.
The organization said two good Samaritans, named Kenny Skepanski and Kellie, found Pickles over the weekend and brought her in. When she was examined, staff noticed her left front paw had a firecracker wrapped around it with rubber bands, leaving it severely infected and infested with maggots.
An official in a North Carolina coastal town says a man has drowned trying to rescue children in the water.
The StarNews of Wilmington reports Wrightsville Beach Town Manager Tim Owens says in a news release on Monday that eyewitnesses said 35-year-old Johnny Lee Vann Jr. of Durham had tried to save several of his children from the water at the south end of the beach. They said Vann apparently experienced trouble during the attempt.
Owens says rescue personnel pulled Vann from the water but were unable to resuscitate him.

Junior Lifeguards: These Hawai‘i Youngsters Could Save Your Life One Day
Here’s how the junior lifeguard program inspires the next generation of ocean-safety leaders.
By Jayna Omaye | Photography by David Croxford
Published: 2019.05.01 12:29 PM
Junior lifeguards run drills at ‘ehukai beach park.
Ezra Sheridan and about 40 teenagers sprint to the sky-blue water at ‘Ehukai Beach Park on the North Shore, kicking up sand as they try to pass each other. Without hesitation, each dives in and swims toward a bright orange buoy 50 meters from the shore, the bathing suits creating pops of color as they bob up and down in the crashing waves.
As the fastest of the group return to shore (Sheridan one of them), they race another 100 meters to an orange flag. Panting and covered in sand, they line up in order of their finish times and cheer on their friends.
Sheridan, 17, wasn’t always so comfortable in the water. That didn’t happen until after his dad signed him up for the junior lifeguard program five years ago. He now wants to make lifesaving his job.
“I like being here and learning from the lifeguards. I love the water now,” says the Waialua High and Intermediate senior. “The beach is kind of everything.”
Founded more than 25 years ago by the city, the junior lifeguard program teaches kids ocean safety skills—from rescue techniques to first aid and CPR. It is not meant for beginner swimmers: To be eligible, participants must be able to swim 100 yards.
The free one-week program, funded by grant money from the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority, is offered at five beaches across O‘ahu—‘Ehukai, Mākaha, Ala Moana, Kalama and Waimea Bay—through June and July and has been organized by the North Shore Lifeguard Association for the past several years. Sessions at Waimea Bay are reserved for younger kids, ages 8 to 11, while the remaining are for ages 12 to 17. The Neighbor Islands also organize their own programs.

Junior lifeguards sprint to the water for a solo-paddle-race drill.
Many of the skills kids learn are the same ones used by city lifeguards, who run the sessions.
The day we visited ‘Ehukai Beach Park, teens were learning basic first-aid skills and running drills, including the grueling “burner,” a 150-meter swim, followed by the “20-20-20”—20 pushups, 20 situps and 20 squats—and ending with an army crawl in the sand. The instructors swim, drop and crawl with their students, encouraging them along the way.
Bryan Phillips, president of the North Shore Lifeguard Association, estimates that about 40 city lifeguards—a quarter of the current workforce—went through the program as kids. Phillips is one of them. That time inspired him to join the ocean safety team. Now 34, he’s spent 15 years patrolling O‘ahu beaches.
He and other lifeguards also hear countless stories of their students rescuing locals and tourists, using the skills they learned in the program.
“For myself, it’s come full circle,” Phillips says. “I just kind of knew that’s what I wanted to do from a young age … that I could be here in a challenging environment and do very fulfilling work. It’s a cool stepping stone.”
Sign-ups on O‘ahu open at 8 a.m. May 4 and are first come, first served (last year, all of the slots were filled on the first day). For more information, visit oahujrlifeguards.surfsignup.com.

The workplace gender gap won’t close until 2095
If you are hoping to work in corporate environment which truly provides equal opportunities to both genders, you might be waiting for a while.
Based on current trends, researchers at the World Economic Forum predicts we’ll have to wait 80 years – until around 2095 – for the gender gap as we know it now to close entirely across organisations worldwide.
According to the Global Gender Gap Report 2014, the gender gap for economic participation and opportunity now stands at 60% globally, having closed by 4% from 56% in 2006, when the Forum first started measuring it.
“In nine years of measuring the global gender gap, the world has seen only a small improvement in equality for women in the workplace,” the report stated.
“Based on this trajectory, with all else remaining equal, it will take 81 years for the world to close this gap completely.”
The gender gap in Singapore, however, was cited as becoming slightly less prevalent than last year, according to the report.
The island nation was ranked at 59th place among the 142 economies polled in total. Garnering a score of 0.705 out of 1 (1 being the perfect level of equality), it rose marginally from its 2013 score of 0.700.
Is Singapore’s gender gap here to stay?
Singapore’s gender salary gap still quite evident
Iceland was identified as the country with the smallest gender gap, with a score of 0.8594. Finland and Norway rounded up the top three, achieving a score of 0.8453 and 0.8374 respectively.
“With no one country having closed its overall gender gap, Nordic nations remain the most gender-equal societies in the world,” the report stated.
“In Asia and the Pacific, the Philippines remains the region’s highest-ranked country, followed by New Zealand (13) and Australia (24).”

2020 Hyundai Ioniq EV: Release Date, Range Boost & Changes
Latest news and rumors about the upcoming 2020 Hyundai Ionq EV (launch date, changes & upgrades)!
In the EV world, the Ioniq electric car set itself apart from the crowd when it was first released in the U.S. last year.
With a 124-mile range and a starting price below $30,000, not to mention a ton of interior space, the vehicle represented a true value proposition.
Less than 2 years later, those offerings now seem a little less impressive, a sure sign that the EV market is quickly evolving.
It goes with saying that the 5-door hatchback needs a little bit of a refresh, which is exactly what the Korean automaker has been working on lately.
We now officially know that a mid-cycle upgrade will be delivered in late 2019, so let’s take a closer look at some of the details.
Ioniq electric gets new battery, increased range
For the 2020 version of the all-electric Ioniq, we can expect to see a bigger battery pack as part of the set-up.
While we do not yet know what sort of size difference we are looking at, Gil Castillo, Hyundai’s senior group manager for alternative vehicle strategy, has officially confirmed that it will be bigger than the one found on the current model.
There are some rumors out there, though, with the general consensus being that the 2020 Ioniq EV facelift will replace the current 28-kWh battery pack with a 38-kWh unit.
If that is indeed the case, then expect the model to be able to go a whole lot further on a single charge, with said range potentially expanded to around 170 miles (272 km).
While there is no word on performances changes for the 2020 model, it stands to reason that the current electric motor, which generates 118 hp, would also be given an upgrade, as the current output is low for an electric car. Keep in the mind that another Hyundai EV, the Kona, has a motor that generates 201 horsepower.
Exterior design changes
A heavily camouflaged prototype model has already been seen out and about in the US as the Ioniq undergoes weather testing.
No obvious changes are visible, but that amount of camouflage suggests that changes are coming, probably in both front and back.
Those changes may well include a change to the signature grille, which may include a textured pattern much like the one seen on the Kona EV. Other than that, the camo makes it hard to tell what is going on with the rest of the exterior.
What we do know is that revised headlights and a mostly new front bumper with air intakes are on the prototype model.
Around back, there really is little to see, although there do appear to be new taillights and a bumper that is a little more aerodynamic.
We expect that better materials and upgraded tech will added to the interior of the revised Hyundai Ioniq EV.
Hyundai Ioniq EV (2020) release date
Given that this model is still in the testing phase, no official release date has been announced, although we expect it to be in the second half of 2019. We will keep you posted with updates as we receive them.
Note: turn off the speakers!
BTW, this Ioniq prototype was spied in Spain.

Prate
Shall not his words mean well for him that walketh uprightly?
Press to show favor
Cheerleading and Lower Extremity Injury
Cheerleading is often overlooked as an injurious sport and scant studies have focused on the mechanisms and incidences of injuries.
But the reality is that cheerleading has evolved over the past century-and-a-half from a pep-group chanting in the bleachers to a competitive combination of high-impact dance and extreme-skill performance sport: filled with high-flying stunts and dangerous skills. Cheerleading has quickly become one of the most necessarily accurate professional sports due to the advancement of trick stunts and the subsequent improvements in training practices. In order to pull off those high-flying moves, athletes must train daily at intensities formerly reserved for the team sports they cheer for. Thus, they are subject to common over-training injuries which include ligamentous sprains, muscular strains, fractures, and contusions.
Dr. Jay Greenstein, CEO of Sport and Spine Companies in the Washington, DC area and a leader in the chiropractic industry at the national level offers his insight:
“Cheerleaders suffer lots of lower extremity injuries. A 2012 study published in the Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery revealed that lower extremities injuries made up approximately 30% of all cheerleading injuries seen in the emergency room over a 5 year period. A study published in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine reported that an even higher rate of lower extremity sprains and strains at 42% of total injuries occurring.
Athletes should be aware that muscle compensations due to injuries of this nature create postural imbalances that can go unnoticed resulting in alignment issues that have a deeper affect on a person's performance and safety. An early evaluation for orthotic need can assist in reducing the risk of posterior tibial tendon, achilles tendon, and peroneal (fibularis) sprains and strains. In 2011, Franklyn-Miller, A,et.al. found the use of customized foot orthoses during training for those assessed as being at-risk resulted in a 20% reduction in lower limb overuse injury rate. Stabilizing the body through guided and controlled rehabilitation, skeletal manipulation, and orthotic use can keep the body aligned, improve sensorimotor control, and maintain better balance. Dr. Greenstein continues:"While functional elements of muscle imbalances, prior injury, and thus poor sensorimotor function are key variables of this epidemic, we also realize that there are anatomic variables that must be addressed. In a study published in the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine, the application of a custom foot orthoses “have an immediate effect on (lower extremity) dynamics.” So, in thinking about prevention first, having a pre-emptive evaluation to determine the need for a custom orthoses to improve lower extremity dynamics and function, and reduce the risk of injury, is a worthwhile endeavor.”
A cheerleading-specific lower extremity evaluation will include objective measures of range of motion, strength, spinal alignment, pelvic obliquity, leg length discrepancy, knee alignment, hindfoot alignment, plantar fascia patentcy, sub-talar joint axis, navicular drop, flexor hallucis congruency, heel-ball ratio, and forefoot to hindfoot alignment during static and weightbearing sport maneuvers. In fact, these elements are necessary to fabricate the most appropriate device for any person seeking to improve their performance through balance and injury prevention.
Notes on Cheerleading injury incidence and prevention
In 2002, the Journal of Pediatrics published an epidemiological review of cheerleading injuries in children from 1990-2002. The authors found the body parts injured were lower extremity (37.2%), upper extremity (26.4%), head/neck (18.8%), trunk (16.8%), and other (0.8%). Injury diagnoses were strains/sprains (52.4%), soft tissue injuries (18.4%), fractures/dislocations (16.4%), lacerations/avulsions (3.8%), concussions/closed head injuries (3.5%), and other (5.5%). Children in the 12- to 18-year age group were more likely to sustain strains or sprains to the lower extremity than 5- to 11-year-olds (P < .01; RR: 1.62; 95% CI: 1.50–1.88). Since this land-mark paper was published, catastrophic injuries in cheerleading has continued to rise. The latest information (Oct 2012) shows the number of catastrophic injuries related to cheerleading has increased from 1.5 annually from 1982 to 1992 to 4.8 per year from 2003 to 2009 according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Catastrophic injuries include closed-head injury, skull fractures and cervical spine injuries resulting in permanent brain injury, paralysis or death.
New recommendations in the guidelines of injury prevention in cheerleading have just been released and include:
National designation of cheerleading as a sport for better quality control.
Mandated preseason physicals and access to qualified strength and conditioning coaches.
Mandatory spotting technique training for all participants.
Not allowing participants to perform stunts until they have demonstrated appropriate skill progression.
Pyramid and partner stunts should be performed only on a spring/foam floor or grass/turf; pyramids should not be more than two people high.
All participating coaches and parents should have access to a written emergency plan.
Cheerleaders with head injuries should not be allowed to participate in the sport until given clearance from a health professional.
Cheerleaders perform as "Bases", Flyers", or "Spotters" depending on the stunt being performed and the athlete's individual body-type and skill set. Whether walking across four peoples' backs suspended in mid air in a "walking tabletop" or flying high during a "basket toss", today's cheerleaders must be in the best shape possible and take every precaution available to ensure their safety. Graceyfeet insoles and Graceyfeet Invisi-Tech head gear and body armor reduce impact shock up to 60% and are effective methods for lowering the incidence of pressure-related injury in impact sports.

Searching For Sasquatch in Grays Harbor County
Douglas Scott
Facebook1kTweet0Pin3
Shrouded in mystery and lore, the legendary Sasquatch is said to be lurking in the remote forests around Grays Harbor. Out the dense, primeval woods of the Olympic Peninsula where few people venture each year, the mythical, ape-like creature is said to be living, occasionally sighted by visitors and locals alike. Nearly everyone in Grays Harbor has had or knows someone who has had a Bigfoot experience
making this region one of the most likely places to encounter a Sasquatch. Deep in the timbered river valleys, the Grays Harbor region is the ideal place to possibly make a believer of even the biggest skeptic.
Author David George Gordon is a Sasquatch enthusiast, but also a proponent of scientific research and healthy skepticism. Photo courtesy: David George Gordon
Sasquatch sightings have been occurring around Grays Harbor for as long as people have been in the area. Tales from the local tribes tell of the C’iatqo, a large ape-like creature that roams the forest, occasionally tormenting and visiting locals throughout the Olympic Peninsula. The increase in population hasn’t stopped the Sasquatch sightings around Grays Harbor. According to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, there have been at least a dozen reported Sasquatch sightings in Grays Harbor over the past decade, with many more not reported to this group.
David George Gordon, author of The Sasquatch Seekers Field Manual has been helping educate the region on Sasquatch and how to document your experiences. His book is published by Mountaineers Books with the goal of inspiring readers and Sasquatch enthusiasts to observe nature closely, gathering scientifically acceptable data and refining wilderness navigation skills. The goal of Gordon’s book is to help everyone become a proficient citizen scientist, hopefully helping to bring Bigfoot into the spotlight of scientific scrutiny.
“In my opinion, the entire Olympic National Forest and Park are easily walking distance for Sasquatch,” replied Mr. Gordon when asked about why the Grays Harbor region is a hotbed for Sasquatch sightings. “Not many areas have been trod as little as this corner of the Pacific Northwest. There is a lot of wilderness out there that isn’t visited too often.”

“The basic rule of critical thinking is that extraordinary claims, like saying you have seen a Sasquatch, leads to extraordinary proof,” explained David. “If you want to help prove or disprove that there is a Sasquatch, have everything lined up for your research and documentation. Help the experts and fight sloppy science. My motivation is to get as many people as I can out gathering credible evidence. Be vigilant with details.”
Once you have brushed up on how to best document your adventures into the Bigfoot-filled forests around Grays Harbor, head out to a few specific areas for your best chance of an encounter. While Sasquatch encounters are reported all around the Pacific Northwest, there are a few remote places where you stand a better chance of having an encounter. Remote and isolated, these are ideal destinations for campers and backpackers hoping for an unique experience.
Your first Sasquatch stop should be around Wynoochee Lake and the Wynoochee River Valley. Far from civilization, this remote section of the southern Olympic Peninsula has had numerous sightings and unexplained events. In the early mornings and late at night, explore the roads and trails of the region if you dare.
Explore the Quinault Rainforest, rumored home of Sasquatch Photo credit: Douglas Scott
One of the most famous Bigfoot events, complete with a sound recording, took place in 2012 and was documented by the researches on the TV show, Finding Bigfoot. Your best bet for lodging are in Montesano at the Guest House Inn and Suites, or staying at a Yurt at the Coho Campground in Olympic National Forest.
Once you have explored the Wynoochee, head to the Quinault Rainforest where the region’s hiking trails and ancient rainforests might be holding your next Sasquatch experience. After you make the Lake Quinault Lodge your basecamp for adventure, head to some of the Squatch-iest destinations around.
Try heading up Donkey Creek Road and then continuing up National Forest Service Road 2204. This remote road is on the backside of the Quinault Rainforest and is as dark and removed from society as you can get. A drive out this way during sunset and returning after dark will have you seeing bear, deer and maybe even a Bigfoot.
Heading out to track Sasquatch? A copy of David George Gordon’s field manual may help. Photo courtesy: David George Gordon
Also check out the hiking trails in the Quinault area. One remote trail with unexplained noises and sightings in the region is the Fletcher Canyon Trail, which straddles the Olympic National Park and National Forest boundary. The old growth forests and huge ferns will be hiding numerous species of animals and, quite possibly, a Sasquatch.
Author David George Gordon feels that the Sasquatch is a big mystery of nature. Even if it doesn’t exist, belief in the creature serves as a symbol of the wildness and unknown elements of our world and the wildness within ourselves.
At the end of the day, if you want to see a Sasquatch, you’ll need to head outside often, exploring regions not often visited by the masses. Good luck and make sure you document your adventures and experiences.

Macroeconomic prospects remain positive, BoJ governor says
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Bank of Jamaica (BoJ) Governor, Brian Wynter, says the country's macroeconomic prospects “remain positive as the indicators and outputs continue to show signs of recovery.
“Foreign reserves are above the level deemed adequate and the current account deficit remains low and sustainable. Additionally, market interest rates are at historic lows and fiscal performance continues to be strong,” he pointed out.
He was speaking at the Central Bank's quarterly media briefing, held at the BoJ Auditorium in downtown Kingston today.
Other notable indicators highlighted by Wynter include improving labour market conditions, which saw the unemployment rate falling to 8.7 per cent as at October 2018 from 10.4 per cent a year earlier, as stated by the Statistical Institute of Jamaica in the Labour Force Survey for the month.
He further reiterated that growth for the October to December 2018 quarter is estimated to have accelerated in the range of 1.5 to 2.5 per cent, rising above the 1.2 per cent recorded in December 2017.
“The bank assesses that this pace of growth reflected improvements in external demand, investment and, to a lesser extent, private consumption. The key economic sectors reflecting increased economic activity included mining and quarrying, construction and tourism,” the governor noted. Wynter said BoJ projections are for growth to remain close to current rates over the next two years.
Additionally, he said further improvements in labour market conditions are expected over the same period, “with more jobs in mining and quarrying, finance and insurance, and business process outsourcing”.
“Overall, Jamaica's macroeconomic indicators continue to reflect entrenched stability, although the economy is… estimated to be operating below its potential,” Wynter added.
On Wednesday (February 20), Planning Institute of Jamaica (PIOJ) Director General, Dr Wayne Henry, indicated that the economy grew by an estimated 1.7 per cent during the December 2018 quarter.
The goods producing and services industries were estimated to have grown by 4.2 and 0.8 per cent, respectively, during the period.
The top-performing goods producing sectors were mining and quarrying, up 22.9 per cent; construction, up 3.5 per cent; agriculture, forestry and fishing – 2.6 per cent; and manufacturing – one per cent.
Industries registering the largest growth rates were hotels and restaurants, up 2.5 per cent, and transport and communication – 1.6 per cent.
Dr Henry said these out-turn resulted in an estimated 2018 calendar year growth average of 1.8 per cent, the strongest since 2006.
The goods producing and services industries were estimated to have grown by 4.8 and 0.8 per cent, respectively.
Mining and quarrying, with 32.5 per cent; agriculture, forestry and fishing – 4.1 per cent; and construction – 2.8 per cent, were the top-performing sectors.
“We estimate growth for Fiscal Year 2018/19 in the range of 1.5 to 2.5 per cent. The outlook for Fiscal Year 2019/20 is also positive, with projected growth within the range of one to two per cent,” Dr Henry said.

Nowt to do with me
Posted on March 24, 2016 February 8, 2018 by Jan Needle
Every month, to my surprise, I suddenly find I have this blog to write and I haven’t got a clue. This month, what we writers laughingly call the pressure is even greater than usual, because I’m flying off to Berlin in a day or two, and I have other vital things to finish. Aw! It’s me I feel sorry for…
Sometimes, though, the suffering of other people is brought home with a bang. Julia Jones’s gruelling and frighteningly honest piece on the 9th was a case in point. It was hard to read, and harder to digest. I left a comment because I wanted to show some solidarity, but I had not a clue what to say. Julia is wonderful, one of those people who makes one feel inadequate. I can only thank her for it.
Another terrific writer who has this effect on me is Mark Frankland – and he also runs a charity in Dumfries for victims of the military life. Not people who have been attacked or injured by the forces in the normal course of what they do, but those in the forces themselves who have fallen by the wayside in the aftermath of serving their country. The suffering and deprivation of these men and women who have done their best is horrifying. Here’s an extract of his latest blog, which went up on March 2. I’ve edited it for space reasons.

Over the last thirteen years working at First Base I have been left feeling angry and appalled too many times to count. Angry and appalled at the way people are treated. Angry and appalled at the casual cruelty of our supposedly caring State. Angry and appalled at the way faceless bureaucrats seem to think it is OK to step on vulnerable people as if they are human cockroaches.
And anyone who has read this blog of mine over the years will know where I am coming from. And at times it is easy to slip into the same kind of zone that A&E nurses probably live in. You get to thinking that you have already seen the worst of the worst. You get to thinking that nothing to come can be worse than what has already been.
But to be honest to think like that would be pretty bloody naïve. And so it was that on a cold day in December I drove up to Edinburgh to meet up with Sam.
I have only met [him] once before and it was very brief. It was on one of the very worst of days. The day we said goodbye to James.
James, the youngest client of our Veterans Project. James, who could have been tearaway, who took the King’s Shilling and signed up. James who stood tall and magnificent on a hard, hard tour of Helmand Province. James who left the army when his dad died because his mum needed him. James who was one of the most decent guys it has ever been my honour to meet. James whose conscience and soul could not handle what he had seen and done on that hard, hard tour of Helmand Province. James who took his own life at 23 years old on a bone cold January night.
His brothers in arms from the Regiment came down to carry his coffin under the cold grey January skies.
And Sam was one of the band of brothers. I can still picture him that day. Clearly. He was so tall it made carrying James awkward. Sam the six foot five Fijian with the ramrod back. A face as hard as one of those Easter Island statues. But his eyes. His eyes were windows onto a grief stricken soul.
And I remember standing at the grave side and thinking what a crazy world we live in. Sam. The warrior from a warrior tribe. So many thousands of miles from his South Sea home. Tall and like a king from a Kipling story. Still as a rock. Saying his goodbyes to a fellow warrior.
On a cold, cold day.
In Dumfries.
In Scotland.
James’s mum Nicola called me a few weeks ago. She said she had been talking to Sam on Facebook. She said Sam is out of the Army now. Out in the cold. And things are not so good. Pretty bad in fact. Could First Base do anything? I said we would do our best.
But no promises. Other than the promise to drive up to Edinburgh to meet him. He is waiting for me.
[Sam] remembers [that] when they got him to sign the dotted line in Fiji they said that four years served would mean guaranteed citizenship.
He served nine years.
Iraq. The Falklands. Northern Ireland. Afghanistan.
The same hard, hard Helmand Tour as James. With James. He did the hardest of hard miles. And every month his salary had income tax and National Insurance deducted. Like he was a citizen.
But when he left the army in 2012 he learned the hard way that the British Establishment tell lies.
Citizenship? Who told you that? Good lord. I very much doubt it…
Well. You’ll just have to apply along with all the rest, won’t you? But don’t hold your breath. We’re not overly keen on your type to be frank. No money? No thought not.
So Sam applied. Three years ago. And for three years they have made him sign on. But his was a different sort of sign on. Every Monday he walks six miles into Edinburgh city centre to sign his name in a police station. Like a common criminal. Like a terrorist. Like scum. And then he walks six miles home again.
And he waits.
He receives not a penny and he has been told in no uncertain terms that should he do so much as an hour’s work he will be on a plane back to Fiji before he gets the chance to blink.
His partner has left him and she doesn’t let him see his son. His son is five now. The last picture Sam has is of a three year old.
He has another girlfriend now and she pays the bills. They share one room over a pub. They share a mattress on the floor. And Sam watches TV all day. And one by one the demons of those hard, hard Helmand days are starting [to] crawl into his head like maggots.
I promise that I will try to do what I can. We stand and shake hands. Maybe there is a faint smile. Maybe not. He thanks me and I feel terrible.
I get in my van and drive south.
And all the way back I remember him in that cold graveyard on that cold January day. Like a statue. Like a king. Like a warrior. So very far from home. Saying goodbye to an unlikely brother in arms.
But a brother all the same.
After Frankland had written this, things deteriorated. A fellow tenant in Sam’s block turned out to be a psychopath, who smashed in the back of his head with a claw hammer. His girlfriend Kirsty called an ambulance, and he was saved. The psychopath was charged with attempted murder – but later bailed. He then threatened the landlord, who evicted Kirsty. No notice, nothing. Just go.
When Sam was discharged from hospital he was homeless, naturally.
‘Not merely a non person now, a homeless non person. They walked the streets to the homeless department. They were told that a box room was going to be £100 a night because Kirsty was working and Sam didn’t officially exist. And it was only for one night anyway.’
What’s more, the psychopath was still on the look out for them.
Mark Frankland, and First Base, continued fighting. He finally got two MPs interested, and engineered a breathing space. A room for a week. A stay of execution.
And so yet again I am left with nothing to do other than to slam my keyboard with the words you are reading now. If there is anyone out there who can help in any way at all please let me know. And if there are any reporters out there who can take Sam’s story to a wider audience please get in touch. I asked him if we would be willing to allow the press to tell his story. He is. He will. And I’ll tell you what guys, he’ll take a hell of a photo. A six and a half foot warrior version of Marvin Gaye.
He deserves so much more than this. Now he needs a clamour. Angry voices. Justice and fairness demanded.
Because everything about this is just so very, very wrong.
The First Base Agency would be more than happy to pass on any donations to Sam. Cheques to The First Base Agency can be sent to 6 Buccleuch St, Dumfries, DG12AH. The First Base Agency – TSB – Sort Code – 30-25-88 Acc No – 00533183.

FAQ’s admin 2018-06-26T12:41:10+00:00
Q: How is KAPS organised?
A: KAPS is a non-profit organisation with a constitution and a management committee which meets monthly. It is a mobile service which spends no money on office premises or full-time employees. KAPS is run and managed entirely by volunteers using additional part-time paid inspectors, and with veterinary work carried out by local practices or by dedicated welfare vets who come from far away to help in the impoverished communities (ad hoc casual helpers are recruited from within the communities and receive a token payment).
Q: How does KAPS carry out its work?
A: Our volunteers are based in different centres in the Little Karoo. They organise regular dipping and other assistance in their own area, and some travel to farther locations. KAPS Chairperson, Colette Teale, regularly tours the entire catchment area to carry out inspections and identify where sterilisation clinics are needed. People seek help from KAPS when they see our vehicles, or get word to us through neighbours in an emergency.
Q: Does KAPS receive any income?
A: No, we rely entirely on donations. And because we serve the deprived communities, our policy is to give our services free. KAPS applies to municipalities for contributions towards our work, but with the noble exception of Baviaans in the Eastern Cape, if we receive anything it is just a token payment. Adoptions bring in donations, or we might get a contribution towards medical costs, but such sums never cover the actual outlay. We have a loyal membership who pay membership fees – to join, visit Contact Us – and some supporters contribute monthly sums by stop order – visit Donations . We also have two charity stalls run by enthusiasts in Cape Town, each mounted once a month, selling clothing and bric-a-brac, for which donated goods are always appreciated.
Q: What is KAPS’s greatest expense?
A: Our greatest expense is veterinary bills, averaging over R20,000 p.m., and mass sterilisation clinics, which can cost R8,000-R14,000 per day, mounted on average 25 days per year. (These figures reflect only the costs of veterinarians and medications, and do not take account of the Society’s own organisational and labour costs.) Vehicle fuel and maintenance are high at around R16,000 p.m., because all our services are taken by road into the rural communities, including the remotest farms. Vehicle maintenance is particularly costly because we mostly travel on un-made roads and tracks.
Q: What help does KAPS need?
A: We are always grateful for local volunteers willing to assist in our catchment area, but what we really need are donations to enable us to keep up our work. Regular monthly bank payments are particularly valuable, as they enable us to budget in advance. If you know of a possible source of funding, please tell us by e-mail (see Contact Us) and we will be happy to follow up your ideas. Overseas visitors to our website please remember that because of South Africa’s weak currency, an amount that seems small to you is an enormous amount to us. See – Donations
Pegasus – before
Q: What animals does KAPS cover?
A: Any and all animals that need our help. Dogs take up most of our resources as the population is so huge and problematical, but cats and kittens are equally important to KAPS. There is much work to be done with horses and donkeys, and we do all we can to improve their treatment and conditions, mount healthcare clinics, and replace cruel and unacceptable equipment that causes injuries. KAPS’s sanctuary looks after numbers of rescued donkeys – between 15 and 20 or more at any given time – and our rescues have included horses, goats, pigs and baby male calves unwanted by dairy farmers. We also assist and advise small/emerging farmers with livestock problems.
Q: What happens to rescued/confiscated animals?
A: Companion animals are fostered in the homes of our members and live as part of the family. They receive all the medical attention they need and are nursed back to health. They are sterilised, vaccinated, socialised and house-trained. We then advertise for a home, which is often found in Cape Town – very rarely is a suitable home found in our impoverished catchment areas. Potential adopters and their homes are scrutinised very carefully, and we insist on our animals coming back if at any time the adopter cannot continue to keep them. The majority of our rescues are fostered at the farm belonging to our Chairperson, and they remain in their foster-homes if adopters cannot be found.
Pegasus – after
Q: What is KAPS’s policy on euthanasia?
A: Because of the extreme poverty in our area, large numbers of dogs handled by KAPS are very sick or badly injured. Distemper, biliary and TVT are widespread, and often tumours are discovered in animals brought to be sterilised. For these the only hope is to spare them further suffering. Owners also hand in unwanted animals to be put to sleep. In the case of abandoned or stray animals, we do not favour euthanasia if suitable placement can be found. However, some dogs with aggression problems simply cannot be fostered or rehomed, and we believe long-term housing in cages or kennels, without proper social activities, is not an acceptable life. In all cases the well-being of the animal is our first concern, so sometimes putting to sleep is the last and only resort.
Q: What is KAPS’s view on dog licensing?
A: We strongly favour dog licensing as a means of ensuring responsible ownership. Combined with an ID system it can reunite lost dogs with their homes, and make owners accountable for letting their dogs create nuisance. We favour the lowest possible licence fee for neutered dogs, and a high loading for unspayed females. Licensing provides employment and is self-financing when operated on a commission basis. At the same time it ensures that someone is regularly aware of the health of the dog population in any given area.
Q: What is KAPS’s view on breeding?
A: With South Africa’s exploding population of dogs and cats, and its euthanasia rate of many thousands every day, KAPS feels that breeding must be strongly discouraged. As long as it cannot be prevented, breeding should be carried out only by registered breeders, whose credentials and premises should be subject to stringent scrutiny. In particular, unauthorised backyard breeding should be outlawed and offenders given heavy financial penalties.

Red Steel 2 Slashes Through The Clutter
It didn't do well as an initial release, selling about 270,00 copies by August 2010. But it was still one of the best action games ever created for the Wii, and plenty of people are hoping it sees a second life in the upcoming holiday season.
There is a reason IGN named Red Steel 2 the best shooting game of the year. The first person close combat game blends the Wild West and the Far East delivers everything you want in game with movement. The innovative interface, using Wii MotionPlus technology, makes for among the most realistic sword play with the secondary fun of fire power.
The arsenal? A 357 long arm, Tataro model 44 twin-barrel shotgun, Littlejohn KH-570 Tommy gun, and 42-SD level action sidewinder rifle. And of course, the weapon of choice that the game was made for — the Katana.
However, even more important than the rare alloy used to make the Katana are the moves you learn as the game progresses. You can stab, slash, parry, and even defend against bullets as they are fired at you with surprising accuracy. Later, you can propel enemies into the air and even set off an earthquake.
All these possibilities help make it a physical game as the Wii was intended. It also adds a brutality to the play, while keeping it relatively non-violent. The real magic is in the game's ability to keep up with player movements, still more precise than any game before it. It's also a level of interaction that future games ought to strive for, at least on the Wii.
The Immersive World Of Red Steel 2
The alternative world is richly developed and artistically rendered in the vein of an animated comic. The action takes place in Caldera, a town that wants to be a city in the baking heat of Nevada.
The empty streets are packed with Jackals, a motorcycle gang similar to the Road Warrior, with its similar blend of Western and Far East influences, it's nods to the future and the past. One of the primary adversaries, Payne, is even richly tattooed. And many enemies wear welder armor as defense.
The only apparent downside to the immersive world is the hub environment, which continually brings players back to the center before entertaining the next mission. Players seem to prefer environments that continually change and progress for the sense of mystery it creates the first time through. You never know what is coming next.
There is no such mystery in a straightforward story line. I didn't miss it for a minute. The benefit of a hub structure game is that it keeps you in the action. And, the environments do change slightly as you play through, just not at every chapter like most progression games.
Another element that is missing is the opportunity to play with a second person. Red Steel 2 would be an amazing game to play against real people, even if such play was confined to split screen dual mode. It's hard to fault the developers too much. Only Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon due out this month, offers shoulder-to-shoulder play (also by UBI Soft).
Red Steel 2 Slashes Its Way To 8.2 On The Liquid Hip Richter Scale.
Even more impressive, since the game from UBI Soft didn't sell heavy on the initial release, it's heavily discounted. On Amazon, Red Steel 2 is discounted 45 percent off the release price, making it the best game on the market for under $20. I only wish I played it sooner.
Red Steel 2 is also the kind of game that reminds me what we really want from console developers: the ability to plug in an additional flat screen television and enjoy some real local multiplayer gaming. I expect we'll have to wait for that. But we can still dream.

V. Keryvin - Deformation mechanisms in inorganic glasses (silicate, metallic, chalcogenide) by micro/nano-mechanical testing
Le 6 février 2018 de 11h00 à 12h00
Prof. Vincent Keryvin
Université de Bretagne Sud / Institut de Recherche Dupuy de Lôme
Inorganic glasses are brittle materials and fail macroscopically in a purely elastic way at room temperature. Yet, under constrained deformation loadings, glasses experience permanent deformation, without damage nor fracture. As an example, this is the case for the hydrostatic compression test, where, for pressures around 25 GPa, permanent volume changes up to 16 % for silica glass are developed. This is also the case underneath an indenter during nano-indentation tests. There has been a long lasting controversy about the nature of the permanent indentation deformation mechanisms. Densification (permanent volume changes) underneath the imprint was deduced from changes in the refractive index, while observations of shear lines and pile-up around imprints suggested the occurrence of shear flow at room temperature.
Understanding and modelling the permanent deformation of glasses are necessary not only from a fundamental point of view but also from an engineering one. For the former, the relationships between the short-to-medium range order and the deformation mechanisms are required to understand the physics of amorphous materials and the possibility to design glasses with tailored properties. For the latter, glasses often fail from the surface flaws generated during processing or during service. Preventing failures in glass products requires to establish a link between the mechanical fields, the residual stresses, the occurrence of cracking systems and the propagation of cracks.
The aim of this presentation is to present recent advances of our group in these areas. The case of very different families of inorganic glasses (chalcogenide, metallic, oxide) will be presented to broaden the example of silica glass. Micro or nano-indentation experiments are conducted on different glasses. The mechanical response of the tests (load-displacement curves), as well as the residual imprints, are studied in detail. Densification or dilation as well shear plasticity underneath the indenter are investigated via complementary and dedicated procedures. Constitutive modelling is employed to discuss these experimental results via finite element analyses. In particular, the densification process is properly modelled thanks to recent in situ and ex situ experiments of hydrostatic compression. The roles of shear and shear flow will then be discussed with respect to nano- indentation results.
Different aspects of the mechanical behaviour will be addressed, including permanent deformation, viscoplasticity, viscoelasticity, fracture toughness, shear localisation...

Fishin’ Blues
exploring musical patterns of community on harry smith’s anthology of american folk music.
Comments prepared for the second gathering of the NEH Advanced Research Workshop HIPSTAS, High Performance Sound Technologies for Access and Scholarship, which focuses on using the digital sound analysis tool ARLO, Slides below too.
I have been using ARLO iteratively to search for unperceived connections and contrasts within a small dataset: the famous Anthology of American Folk Music put together by Harry Smith in 1952. Consisting of 84 tracks, divided into three categories—Ballads, Social Music, and Songs—this collage of US “roots” music recordings was a kind of mystical remix of old commercial recordings of hillbilly sounds, race records, and other ethnic musics that existed on the periphery of the emerging twentieth-century American commercial recording industry.
Anthology of American Folk Music liner notes. Smithsonian Folkways.
Smith was an avant-garde filmmaker, autodidact, ethnographer, collector of esoteric items, quirky bohemian—also a drug addict and hustler—who claimed to be a modern-day cultural alchemist. Here he is in a photograph from the 1980s taken by poet Allen Ginsberg, who playfully describes him “transforming milk into milk.”

On the Anthology, Smith reorganized the sounds he had collected from commercial 78 rpm recordings of the 1920s and 30s and illegally bootlegged into a long-playing proto-box set release for the famous Folkways label, once owned by radical lefty impresario Moe Asch and now a part of the Smithsonian Institution.
What Smith released into the world was, in essence, a remix before the term existed. He erased categories of race, class, and region in the US, the kinds of classifications that were typically used to organize folk music. In their place, he offered what many in the burgeoning folk music revival of the 1950s and 60s came to imagine as a dreamt-up integrated community of American vernacular life in sound.
This was a visionary musical collage of democratic longing, what the cultural critic Greil Marcus has called “Smithville,” a fictitious American every-town. It was what folk music scholar Robert Cantwell describes as “Smith’s Memory Theater,” an effort to summon in one compressed sonic form the range of American culture and spirit at the grassroots. It became a sacred text, a sort of bible and reference manual, within the folk music revival during the 1950s and thereafter, partly because the Anthology not only preserved traditional sounds, but also rearranged them in such a way as to suggest to folkies new ways of comprehending the world.
In its strange, collaged form, surrounded by quasi-mystical imagery and humorous yet scholarly liner notes, it was not only a compendium of folk song, but also a kind of guide for self-transformation and enhanced living for many folk revivalists. What I want to know is if ARLO can help us discern the patterns that Smith himself claimed to be chasing after with the Anthology: patterns of commonality and community, individuality and difference, all expressed musically and brought into being as much through comparative collage and pattern-making as in the discrete sounds of the Anthology themselves. These patterns include not only melodic and rhythmic similarities and elaborations, but also harmonic tonalities and sonorities that ARLO might be able to discern and re-represent.
Smith himself remarked of the Anthology in a 1968 interview with John Cohen in Sing Out! magazine: “I was just fiddling with those ideas then…Everything is computerized now.” He saw potential in the use of the computer to listen better to musical expression and its cultural—even its political—implications when remixed, re-mediated, and heard anew in reoriented relationships. Now that we are developing sonic analysis tools such as ARLO, can we use them to continue the project that Smith began, which was to see if music rearranged and recontextualized could unleash new understandings of those who made—and also those who continue to listen to—these important vernacular American sounds?
I think the jury is still out on this question. What leaps out at me about ARLO is that it is clearly well-suited for questions of accessing collections, particularly large ones. This is something that computational automation is good at: seeking out patterns based on precise parameters, processing large amounts of data, turning back search queries, pinpointing the needles of material lodged in haystacks of data. But what about analysis, interpretation, the making of new meaning from sources, especially of music?
The challenges here between access and analysis are not completely different at the level of ARLO’s parameters: we are in the same territory of seeking out similarities and differences across sets of sonic materials. But the question of what one wants to do with those parameters becomes more complex when it comes to analysis. Matters not only of what but also of why start to leap to the fore. What counts, as it were, as evidence for particular arguments becomes an issue. And what questions we wish to ask—which questions of ARLO’s parameters and functions might lead to new findings—this becomes the most pressing dilemma of all.
For instance, with the Anthology, we might ask questions about similarities of melody, of pitch. But we might also, thanks to the design of ARLO, ask questions about attack, energy, harmonic timbre. In terms of music’s temporality and rhythmic dimensions, we have to decide what units of measurement are worth… measuring as a discrete entity: a single note? A lyrical line? A whole verse? A particular “lick” on an instrument? One voice singing? Two voices? Instruments in relationship to each other? Silence between notes? They are all potentially crucial aspects of the pattern-making that is the Anthology of American Folk Music. Which permutations of what matter in musical expression, even on these scratchy old records, maybe especially on these scratchy old records. The complexity is endless. There is no “objectivity” here, really, in the shallowest sense of that term. There is only choice, selection, exploration, iteration, comparison, and the mingling of computer-heard sound and human-heard sound, different ears, if you will, intermingled in responses to sonic registers.
Given these challenges, my early experiments using ARLO have been tentative. I’ve been most interested in seeing at first if Smith’s remix of vernacular American folk sounds possesses sonic similarities of pitch, on the one hand, and energy, or intensity, on the other. So I have toyed with the pitch parameter and the energy spectra parameter the most just to see if the same tagged section of a song—say the chorus of the final song on the Anthology, Henry Thomas’s “Fishin’ Blues,” produces similar or different results.
“Voice, Whistling, and Guitar”: Henry Thomas, “Cottonfield Blues,” Vocalion Records.
What I have found, as a preliminary result, is that ARLO confirms the ways in which little snippets of similar melody, in terms of interval relationships, are scattered all across the Anthology, in unlikely places, producing a kind of subtle sense of interlinked connection across the collection of songs. This isn’t altogether surprising of course. It is a reminder that the different genres of vernacular American music that Smith chose to include in his remix—string bands from Appalachia and blues from the Mississippi Delta, Cajun fiddle tunes and Midwestern polkas, sweetly fingerpicked songster tales of redemption and justice and harsh, powerful frailing banjo plaints of sin and sorrow—share many fairly narrow musical traits: the melodies in particular are based on variations of the pentatonic scale, a shared musical style of the British isles and West Africa, which were not the only but perhaps the crucial streams that fed into American folk music represented on the Anthology. But it is nice to see ARLO catch melodic similarities where even a well-trained ear might not catch them, not just between Thomas’s “Fishin’ Blues” and his version of “Old Dog Blue” but also between “Fishin’ Blues” and fellow Texan Blind Lemon Jefferson’s “See That My Grave Is Kept Clean,” between Thomas’s song and the similar songster stylings of Mississippi John Hurt’s “Spike Driver Blues,” and even between “Fishin’ Blues” and far more distant seeming songs from the ballad tradition, such as “John Hardy” by the Carter Family, and even between “Fishin’ Blues” and the Cajun fiddle and accordion song, “Le Vieux Soulard Et Sa Femme.”
At one level this is just work of confirmation, not of revelation. Which is to say it provides more evidence that Smith had good ears, that he used more fluid sonic similarities and variations to guide his remixes rather than seemingly static categories of race, ethnicity, region. And it more deeply documents that he created a collection that was richly suggestive rather than rigidly definitive. But the findings also suggest something else: with more research, we might begin to bring into view—more accurately, into hearing—new findings and understandings, new analysis and interpretations. These would involve not only fresh interpretations of Smith’s work, but also revealing dimensions of the contours and qualities of American folk music itself. ARLO as a computational ear proposes that Smith’s human ears only began to perceive the deep interlinkages within American vernacular song. If we are willing to go fishin’ a bit more, even within this small sampling of songs on the Anthology, this micro-dataset, and if we use the bait and tackle, the lures and lines, of our ARLO tuning forks, visualizations, libraries, projects, media files, tag sets, unsupervised tag discoveries, and k-analysis clusters to do so, we may be able to discern far more of this suggestiveness, this interrelatedness within diversity, in the great ocean of American folk traditions. Even more, perhaps, than what Smith, that crazed remix alchemist, himself heard and harvested.

LOUDON, N.H.
NASCAR'S 2014 Sprint Cup tour is finally starting to take shape, it appears, with Darlington Raceway officially announcing its Southern 500 again on Mother's Day weekend Saturday, May 10th.
Atlanta Motor Speedway is also announcing its 2014 Sprint Cup race date, Sunday, August 31.
And Texas Motor Speedway appears ready to announce its 2014 Cup dates too this weekend. Track boss Eddie Gossage says he'll reveal his 2014 dates Monday evening.
"We have made some big announcements in the past, but this one surpasses them all," Gossage said. "There are so many exciting new things in store for 2014 that fans will want to be sure and tune in."
Here is ticket info on the Southern 500 next spring.
NASCAR's 2014 tour calendar has been the subject of debate the past few weeks, because it's been late in release.
The sanctioning body traditionally lets each track announce its Sprint Cup date before releasing the full schedule.

I really like to see Road America get a Cup date , or even give a cup date to Iowa, replacing Fall Texas race adding that race to the chase, so it can have another night race , and televised on broadcast tv on ABC . Keep Homestead for the season finale , and add a Road America, to replacing New Hampshire.

Ex-Obama lawyer faces 10 Years in jail for false statements
Washington: Greg Craig, a former White House counsel in the Obama administration, was charged on Thursday with lying about work he performed in 2012 for Ukraine in a case that grew out of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
Craig, 74, faces up to 10 years in prison for charges of making false statements and violating a lobbying law.
He is accused of lying to the Justice Department about his work on a 2012 report aimed at justifying the prosecution of a political enemy of Viktor Yanukovych, the Russian-aligned president of Ukraine at the time.Craig's lawyers declined immediate comment.
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, the New York law firm that produced the report, agreed in January to turn over the USD 4.6 million it was paid and retroactively register as a foreign agent, as part of a settlement with the Justice Department
Skadden produced the 187-page report at the behest of Paul Manafort, the former chairman of Donald Trump's presidential campaign who is currently serving a 7 1/2-year prison sentence for lobbying violations and financial crimes.Manafort was apparently happy with Craig's work
"You are ‘THE MAN’”, he wrote Craig in an email after the report received favourable media coverage, according to the indictment.The report was meant to be an objective review of the Ukrainian government's prosecution of Yulia Tymoshenko, the country's former prime minister who was convicted in 2011 on corruption charges and sentenced to seven years in prison.
It was used by Yanukovych's government to justify Tymoshenko's pretrial detention to the European Court of Human Rights and influence U.S lawmakers
Yanukovich was one of Manafort's main lobbying clients.According to the indictment, Craig covered up aspects of his work in order to avoid registering as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, a rarely enforced law that was enacted in 1938 to counter Nazi propaganda.
Had Craig complied with the law, he would have been forced to reveal that the report was funded by a private Ukranian citizen, not the government, and disclose that Skadden was simultaneously helping out with Tymoshenko's prosecution on other charges
"That would do enormous damage to the credibility" of the report, Craig wrote in an email to other Skadden attorneys, according to the indictment.Craig privately had reservations about Tymoshenko's treatment but left them out of the report, the indictment said."Evidence of criminal intent - i.e., that she intended to commit a crime - is virtually non-existent," he wrote in a memorandum that was not included in the report, according to the charges.The case stems from Mueller's 22-month investigation into whether Trump's presidential campaign worked with Russia to influence 2016 election.
That probe led to charges against 34 people, including Russian agents and former key Trump allies, but Attorney General William Barr said last month that Mueller did not find enough evidence to charge Trump or others with criminal conspiracy.Barr also said that he decided there was not enough evidence to charge Trump with obstruction of justice
He is expected to release a redacted version of Mueller's final report to Congress next week.

Everything was spin-offs. Nintendo's awkward transformation year.
Editorial by
NW Staff
June 17, 2015, 19:50:44
I was a lot more nervous than excited as yesterday's Digital Event approached. That's unusual. I love E3, the big reveals and surprises get me giddy, but my Nintendo spider sense (Gohma sense?) was tingling. Danger!
In hindsight Reggie tried to let us down gently with a disclaimer about transformation. That may not have dampened our enthusiasm at the start but it was clear by the end that transforming means transitioning. And transitions on Nintendo platforms can be rough. Last year was all snappy humor, creativity and a declaration of confidence in the 3DS and Wii U that took many people by surprise. This time the medium was similar but the message was altogether different: it's the final year of both the Wii U and the 3DS. The age of tentpole announcements for these machines has passed and ultimately the show could only disappoint.
Sure enough, our hopes dimmed with each Nintendo franchise reveal as we saw spin-offs instead of mainline games. Giving us smaller experiences to keep us playing between the big ones is good in theory, Captain Toad was brilliant, but without 3rd party support the Nintendo audience is always hungry. If you tease a hungry gamer only to deliver a series of boardgames and weird multiplayer offshoots you're asking to get bitten. Cue backlash.
Also missing was the traditional, 'one more surprise'. We expect this now. Nintendo knows it. It's a common feature of previous E3s and even the typical Nintendo Direct but instead they ended with a self-indulgent YouTube montage and an abrupt cut to the Treehouse Live team. An awkward end to an awkward 50 minutes.
So here we are, a little bit sadder and a little bit wiser. Venturing into the news void, the gap between systems. It's no mystery where Nintendo's biggest development teams have gone...
- Mobile: the DeNA partnership is a huge deal for Nintendo and they are the ones handling the majority of development. The first few releases, due out this year, need to be compelling and you can be sure the company is working hard to make this gambit count. When the pressure is on to finish a game often every studio at Nintendo from Retro to Monolith Soft to the different internal divisions all throw their weight together. Just because these games are mobile doesn't mean they aren't absorbing significant resources.
- QOL: I hesitate to place blame on this for Nintendo's light showing, but this is Iwata's pet project and who knows what he's throwing into making it a success?
-The NX: This "dedicated gaming platform" is widely suspected to replace both our handheld and console hardware, consolidating Nintendo's development resources and creating one big future userbase. Whatever form it takes, the fact that it's approaching when both systems are dramatically winding down is no coincidence.
Nintendo Tokyo, Garage, Retro Studios are known to be working on a large number of undisclosed titles, some of which have been in active production for 2 years. Games of this caliber could have blown the doors off the show and propped up the Wii U for at least another year, but without even a hint about them it's not hard to guess where they are headed. Zelda's absence is an even bigger herald of the move to NX. Miyamoto talked about having great Zelda footage right now that they aren't showing, which signifies the game's disappearance isn't about some stylistic makeover. Zelda is still promised as a 2016 Wii U release, but the real surprise now would be if it was Wii U exclusive.
The timing of all of this seems to confirm the transition to NX has begun. Looking at the history of Nintendo handhelds 3DS is due for a replacement next year and everyone wondering how long the Wii U would be around in the face of consumer disinterest seems to have their answer now too.
Nintendo fans are now in a holding pattern until the next big thing drops. And it's going to be a long wait.
Still, although we've discovered the current gen surprises are all spent, we can take a step back and enjoy this being one of the Wii U's strongest years. You'll have to pry Splatoon from my cold, dead tentacles, and just ahead is Yoshi, Xenoblade, Fatal Frame, Star Fox which has a great core from Nintendo and will no doubt become more and more dramatic and impressive under Platinum's wing. And of course Super Mario Maker, a gamer's dream since 1985. The 3DS has a healthly line-up too, even if this event did little to add to it.
E3 may be about selling anticipation for future games, and that's a large part of the fun of being a gamer, but it's easy to lose sight of the games themselves and here and now Nintendo systems are still seeing compelling exclusives unlike anything else available. Next year we will have the opposite problem, no games but plenty of exciting announcements. By then, if not hopefully before, we will appreciate the difference.

Nintendo Direct - Wii U news from Iwata
--[E3 2013 Predict-a-ton Challenge is open!]--
Unfortunately, this is the feeling I got as well. These spin-off games feel like filler while their big teams have moved onto bigger and better things (namely, NX). Hopefully their recognition that this is a time of transformation and transition signal that support for the Wii U and 3DS won't COMPLETELY dry up for the end of the generation like we saw with Wii and DS, but I think the expectation at this point is that the last year or so of a Nintendo console's life is pretty poor.
Infinitywave said:
This is the silver lining for me. Their digital event was lacking wow factor, but the important thing is that this will end up having been a pretty good year for the Big N, release-wise. In the fall we've got Mario Maker, Star Fox, Xenoblade, Yarn Yoshi all to look forward to on Wii U, and a few coming for 3DS in early 2016 (M&L, Fire Emblem, etc), so there are still some things to look forward to, for me anyway.
rebonack
The lack of any big surprises within their Digital Event tells me a few things. They are busy on things that don't pertain to the Wii U. Namely, things that are not happening within 2015. So we can assume they are hard at work with NX R&D and developing mobile games. Could this be the beginning of the end of Wii U's life cycle? Now I'm left wondering if Zelda Wii U will take a Twilight Princess approach and release on both Wii U and the NX.
Abdooooo
I won't be surprised if Zelda moves to NX. My first thought when they showed Zelda at the Game Awards was that it looked too much better than anything else I've seen for Wii U. I think it'll still release on the Wii U, but that may not even truly have been the version of the game we've seen.
Good write-up. Admittedly, I was expecting the Transformers talk to lead into an announced of Platinum's new Transformers game on the Wii U.
This felt like a transitional E3 characterized by a showcase of previously-announced heavy hitters and newly revealed spin-offs. I can understand why many of the games shown were updated looks at games we knew about if Nintendo is hard at work on the NX, whatever it may be. I think that those big games like Xenoblade X combined with some of these interesting spin-offs like Metroid Prime: Federation Force will make for a nicely balanced helping of Nintendo games in 2015 and early 2016 while Nintendo gets ready to show us something huge at E3 2016.
For all intents are purposes, Nintendo's E3 2015 showcase delivered because I saw upcoming games that I'm eager to play. On the other hand, it lacked that special E3 feeling of being blown away by some huge, unexpected announcement that the majority of us Nintendo fans are stunned by. Both types of E3 presentations are great to me, and I'm content with the former than the latter since last year was more of a megaton-styled E3. Hopefully this means that next year's digital event will have a different tone as a result of this transformational phase.
Octorockin
True dat.
I guess I'm a little bummed because Wii U still feels new to me, and there haven't been many games for it, and I really want to see stuff like F-Zero and Metroid in HD, but... I guess it does make sense for Nintendo to focus on NX. Wii U is going to be looked back on as such a weird little niche console.
deathly_hallows
@deathly_hallowsThe Wii U seems new to you because it is new. For the earliest adapters, it's 2 years and 8 months old.
I just can't imagine them going into a prolonged dry spell right after coming off the prolonged dry spell of the last two years of the Wii. But that certainly seems to be what's happening. They apparently see the Wii U as a "sunk cost." Instead of doubling down (which is what they did last E3), they're moving on to the next thing. Makes sense from a business perspective but kind of sucks for those of us who bought the machine.
Nintendo must know that there is literally no major third party development in the offing, nothing that's going to come out over the next three years or so, and that the dozen or so games Nintendo themselves can put out over the next year and a half or so plus the many indie games aren't enough to move any more Wii Us.
chrisguy
They've had years filled with spinoffs before so I'm not worried. This period reminds me of what 2009 was like, or at least most of it plus late 2008. The period after Mario Kart and Smash. And some of their spinoffs end up being some of my faves, like the Luigi's Mansion games for example. Plus, some "big" games like Mario Kart are spinoffs, showing that they can still become huge and good.
This was the Metapod of E3 Conferences. The World Championship was like this badass Caterpie that was pulling well above expectations and blasting along at a nice pace only to evolve into some deformed monster that can't walk and it's only move is to harden its cocoon from the outside world. And no-one else present dare mention that this deformed creature exists except for the one guy who likes to dance because he probably just did a line of coke.
Nintendo shouldn't have mentioned NX. If you aren't showing any games for Wii U that release after December 2015 then don't tell people next E3 to come back and watch us talk about a new console.
You really couldn't have found anyone on Earth earlier this week who would have said hearing "Metroid Prime" being shown at Nintendo's E3 Direct would disappoint. But like life, they, uh, found a way.
What are the examples of "one more surprises"? I feel like every year people expect one and it never happens. I think maybe a Smash Bros. character reveal has kind of qualified as that before, but that's the only one off the top of my head.
@Jargon
Twilight Princess was the biggest one I remember. But that's been some time.
From Nintendo:
Bayonetta 2 (?)
Non Nintendo:
FF13 on Xbox
Halo 3 Announcement/Trailer
Whatever that new Ghost Recon game is
The re-branding of long absent FF13 versus to FF15
They've done it a good number of times--
2004: Twilight Princess
2008: Wii Music (yeah, it became infamous but it was clearly intended to be the big finish reveal. Reggie even preludes it with "but before we finish today, we want to introduce you to ONE MORE EXPERIENCE...")
2009: Metroid: Other M
2012: NintendoLand
2013: Borderline based on Iwata's weird presentation, but Smash Wii U (and Mega Man!) was the last game shown.
2014: May not count, but Palutena's showing was at the end and Reg says "But I just can't leave you without ONE MORE TEASER..."
Finishing strong is a pretty good way to leave a positive impression on viewers, so a lot of the companies often save the best for last during their presentations. While not all of these were super-megaton-worthy, they were pretty much all presented as such.
@TriforceBun
I think a lot of those were just showing those games last. To me, the one last surprise thing has to come after some sort of fake out that they're wrapping things up. That's why I was thinking of Paulatena in my original post.
I still remember when Other M was announced, it blew my mind. That's the last time I think I got really excited at an E3. Well maybe for the Zelda U reveal, but that wasn't a surprise the way Other M was.
@deathly_hallows
See, that says it all to me. Flash over substance.
Yeah, I was about to make a similar point. Some of these complaints are more about the showmanship - if Starfox had come last this year and Mario Maker had come first, everyone could agree that the Starfox reveal more or less qualified as a "just one more thing" moment, and yet we still wouldn't have any more games than we do now.
That said, showmanship matters to some degree. Just not to the degree that it effects the main reason we're all here - to play games.
kriswright
@kriswright
Yup, that's the point I was trying to make in the other thread. It works especially well with Star Fox because I think that announcement didn't really get much hype last year compared to Zelda and games that were more fully realized already like Splatoon. Now a year has passed and it's old news even though we barely saw it last year.
Definitely a showmanship mistake, but I doubt it will affect Nintendo's bottom line and it certainly won't affect my enjoyment of the games.
What do you mean? They announced a new Metroid game that was a complete surprise, that was fun IMO.
And most people agree it sucked and it was a huge bomb at retail. People who like to play good games lost and Nintendo lost. People who care about exciting E3s won. Good for them, I guess.

Harvard Gulch Park today, and lunch at Annie’s Café on Colfax
August 20, 2018 /in Alzheimer's, Alzheimer's programs Denver, early stage alzheimer's program /by Mary Archer
It was a little bit of history today for ladies day.
We started the day at Harvard Gulch Park, enjoying pastries,fruit and sparkling cider next to the children’splayground. Then off for a little walk through the park- which is next to a golf course-on our perennial search for restrooms. We decided to use the one in the Clubhouse of the Harvard Gulch Golf Course. Here is when wewe stumbled upon the history of the area.! Who would have guessed!?We learned from the golf pro that the land used to be a dairy farm as well as the Colorado State Orphanage. As many as 17,000 orphans resided inthis facility. It was stunning newsto all of us. We talked about the many reasons so many kids would have been orphaned in the early 1900s,World War 1, World War II, the Depression, the Dust Bowl, and disease. E had lots of questions about all this! The man who was telling us about this history has lived in the area for quite some time. He’s actually met and have had conversations with a few of the orphans who came back to visit as adults.
From there we drove downtown to visit and poke around the Brown Palace Hotel which is 127 years old. As we were driving downtown JM was reminiscing about the years she spent working downtown. She spoke fondly of the“husltle and bustle”, and having lunch on the 16th Street
Mall. The Brown Palace was as beautiful as expected. Flower arrangements filled with orchids were everywhere. We simply wandered the lobby,
the 2nd floor, and the bridge over Tremont Street for about 45 minutes, exploring, oohing and aahing.
Lunch was at Annie’s Cafe on Colfax, a favorite. Again, a lot of history. There were black and white movies playingon the TV’s, displays of collectable lunch pales which C noticed right off the bat (particularly the covered wagon one), and old game boards.
On the way back to Littleton I told the ladies that Mary would be waiting for us with dessert, but we probably didnt have room after that bug lunch. E said “there is always room for desserts” and JM immediatley said “oh, thank goodness for E! ” Ha!

Keys on the Green for lunch, in Evergreen, and a walk at the lake
August 9, 2018 /in Alzheimer's, Alzheimer's programs Denver, early stage alzheimer's program /by Mary Archer
Good day, this group gets along very well.
I made some notes about things people said, and I see a theme here. I noted their observations which meant to me they were “actively engaged” rather then “passively participating”. It might be quiet in the car for a while, for example, but then someone says something and I realize we’re all paying attention.
When we were on Highway 74 and approaching Evergreen, J said, “these trees are so beautiful”, and “that sign says Taco Bell. Is that where you’re taking us to lunch!?”, or V pointed out a baseball diamond which I hadn’t noticed, or when we were looking at the honey bee hives and G told us a story about his wife coming across a hive one time… those comments mean a lot to me.
I enjoyed the conversations I overheard too. J in the backseat of my van saying to A, “so where did you grow up”, and A giving her a detailed and interesting story about his childhood. Or S telling the group, while we were at the gardens in the morning, “I can’t hear well out of this ear”, then G walked over and pretended to shout into it, making S laugh. Or – this was cute – I handed J a water bottle and said, “I know you’re good about drinking water, but here’s some more”. J:” Yes, water is all I drink.” And rV, sitting a ways away from her, throws in: “yay, right, only water!” That made J laugh, and she instantly said, “you caught me, I’ve got a stash of something else in my pocket.”
Lunch was at Keys on the Green in Evergreen. J said she’d like to return sometime and bring her husband. It’s a nice atmosphere, with decent food. The highlight for G was probably our waiter, a young man who is an enthusiastic Oriole’s fan and noticed G’s hat.
We chatted about golf, since our restaurant was sitting on a golf course. We talked about motorcycles too, V told us he and his brother used to own one. We talked about tattoos and French fries and twins and elk and lots more!
My line of the day award goes to G, and though he had a bunch of one line zingers, this simple thing he said is what touched me most. We stopped at a gas station on the way down the hill to use the men’s room. S was still in it, G had come out, J and I were waiting in the car. Ga came up to the car and said to me, “I’m going to wait for S”
It just meant a lot to me, that G was being so thoughtful, and even that he remembered his buddy’s name.
One of my happiest memories of today was in the car when G and S both sang along to the radio, with dramatic flair at “captian kaaangaroo”, who Jerry and I both remember watching on T.V.!

Aaron Rodgers, Lance Briggs among NFC North franchise faces
By Bucky Brooks
NFL.com Analyst
0 Likes | 0 Comments
Ranking defensive triplets; a growing trend in NFL team-building
Top five sleeper teams in 2019; plus, which RB could join 1k/1k club?
Football might be the ultimate team sport, but the NFL is dominated by larger-than-life talents -- those players who, through sheer force of skill and personality, seem able to single-handedly drive their squads. A player like that can become everything to his organization, defining its identity and dictating its fortunes. In other words, he becomes the face of the franchise. Of course, though, one man can carry the franchise torch for only so long, as time is a cruel thief. Eventually, the onus falls on someone else.
Looking ahead to the 2014 season, Bucky Brooks has identified the face of each franchise, along with a player waiting in the wings to potentially take up the mantle in the future. Below you'll find analysis for each NFC North team. Click here to access the homepage of this division-by-division series.
Chicago Bears: Lance Briggs
Defense has been Chicago's backbone since the days of "Papa Bear," George Halas. Briggs, a seven-time Pro Bowler, replaced retired linebacker Brian Urlacher as the unit's leader last season, setting the tone with his ultra-aggressive demeanor, toughness and knack for playmaking -- but he missed much of the year with a shoulder injury, and the Bears struggled to stop opponents, finishing with the NFL's 30th ranked defense. In 2014, he'll anchor a defense that must play at an exceptional level to spark a playoff run.
Next in line: Jay Cutler. Cutler is entering his sixth season with the Bears -- and ninth in the NFL -- but he remains a mystery man from a leadership standpoint. Yes, his teammates have steadfastly supported him as a franchise quarterback since his arrival in Chicago in 2009, but it's time for the veteran to take his game to another level. Armed with a fat new contract (he signed a seven-year, $126 million extension in January, with $54 million guaranteed), Cutler will be expected to step to the fore as the Bears' unquestioned leader and guide the team back to championship contention.
Detroit Lions: Calvin Johnson
Megatron might not have broken any records in 2013 -- like he did in 2012 -- but the Pro Bowl wideout remains the most dangerous offensive weapon in the game. Johnson, who has compiled 45 receiving touchdowns over the past four seasons, averaged a ridiculous 17.8 yards per catch last year despite battling a balky knee that kept him from fully tormenting defenders with his speed and athleticism. With Johnson healthy and positioned to flourish in a more dynamic offensive system, the Lions have the ultimate playmaker to build around for the next few years.
Next in line: Matthew Stafford. For all the talk about Johnson carrying the franchise on his back, the Lions' future fortunes rest on the development of Stafford as a championship-caliber quarterback. The former No. 1 overall pick has flashed big-time ability and impressive arm talent, but his reckless style has resulted in costly turnovers at key moments. If Stafford can master the game-management aspect of the position under a new coaching staff, he could become one of the game's elite talents.
Green Bay Packers: Aaron Rodgers
Rodgers is the epitome of a franchise quarterback, consistently guiding the Packers into the postseason despite regularly dealing with shorthanded, injury-ravaged rosters. The MVP of Super Bowl XLV never lets circumstances get in his way, whether he's overcoming poor protection along the line, the inexperience of his receivers or a leaky defense that turns most contests into shootouts. Given the expectations associated with quarterback play in the NFL, Rodgers' reliable production -- until he missed seven games last season, Rodgers had started at least 15 games each year since becoming Green Bay's top dog in 2008 -- and winning ways make him the Packers' unquestioned leader.
Next in line: Eddie Lacy. The pass-centric nature of the NFL might relegate running backs to second-class citizenship, but the fact remains that Lacy's presence in Green Bay gives the Packers a legitimate chance to capture a second Lombardi Trophy under coach Mike McCarthy. Lacy burst onto the scene in 2013 with 1,178 yards, displaying a hard-nosed running style that's ideal for postseason play en route to capturing the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. As the 30-year-old Rodgers ages gracefully in the pocket, Lacy's emergence as an elite runner could keep the team in the mix for the foreseeable future.
Minnesota Vikings: Adrian Peterson
Whatever the status of the running back position might be in the NFL, "All Day" remains the gold standard, based on his remarkable production and considerable talent. Peterson has single-handedly carried the Vikings' offense despite lacking a credible threat at quarterback since Brett Favre hung 'em up. In 2012, fresh off a serious knee injury, Peterson posted 2,097 yards rushing -- the second-highest total ever. While he had to settle for 1,266 in 2013, he continues to play at an elite level, handling a tremendous workload that would wear down most runners. Peterson has thrived amid the chaos in Minnesota, and there's no doubt about his importance to the organization.
Next in line: Teddy Bridgewater. The Vikings have been looking for a franchise quarterback to build around since Daunte Culpepper's heyday -- and Bridgewater appears to have the goods to end the slump. The former Louisville standout is a cerebral playmaker with the arm talent and pocket presence to thrive in Vikings offensive coordinator Norv Turner's system. A poor pro-day performance severely damaged Bridgewater's draft stock, but he was still the most polished pocket passer available, and his play in offseason workouts has created a buzz. Veteran QBs Matt Cassel and Christian Ponder lack the dynamic presence and game to take the Vikings' offense to another level -- meaning Bridgewater's day could come sooner rather than later.

Cowboys survive loss of Romo, hold off inept Eagles
By Chris Wesseling
Ranking the NFL's deepest position groups in 2019: Which loaded unit's No. 1?
What to watch Friday
The Dallas Cowboys survived the loss of Tony Romo, holding off the Philadelphia Eagles for an ugly 20-10 victory on Sunday.
1. Although the Cowboys are the NFC East's lone undefeated team two weeks into the season, major injuries could lead to a tailspin. This team captured the division last season on the strength MVP candidate Romo, Offensive Player of the Year DeMarco Murray and All-Pro wide receiver Dez Bryant. Now that Romo has a fractured clavicle to go with Bryant's fractured foot, none of those "triplets" will be available for at least the next month -- and likely much longer. Whereas Romo had been successful with a ball-control passing game, backup Brandon Weeden doesn't possess the touch or field vision to pull off that brand of offensive attack. During Weeden's one spot start last season, the coaching staff did all it could to limit the quarterback's impact on the game. Weedon's teams have won just five of his 21 career starts.
2. This was a comprehensive meltdown for the Eagles' offense, which started the game in wholly inept fashion for the second consecutive week. The difference this time is that the ineptitude lingered for four quarters rather than just two. Sam Bradford was no different than the devolving quarterback we saw in St. Louis over the past few years, failing to see the whole field, making suspect decisions and staring at the pass rush as his confidence comes and goes. To be fair, Bradford got no help. The offensive line had no answer for Cowboys defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli's stunts, which left DeMarco Murray with minus-15 yards at one point in the game. Philly's receivers also failed to make plays, suffering from a case of the drops once again. Garbage time aside, this was one of the most head-scratching offensive performances we've seen in recent years. FOX broadcast Troy Aikman, who played for 1989 Cowboys team that was shut out three times, lamented at one point, "I can't recall an offense that I've seen look worse than this Eagles offense."
3. Despite Murray's ineffectiveness, Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles saw just one carry apiece. Mathews, in particular, languished on the bench. It will be interesting to see how long the leashes are for Murray and Bradford if the offense goes in the tank for quarters at a time versus the Jets next week.
4. For all of the preseason fantasy football handwringing over Joseph Randle versus Darren McFadden, passing-down specialist Lance Dunbar has been the most valuable member of the Dallas backfield. Much like the Patriots and Dion Lewis, the Cowboys won't hesitate to align Dunbar as a wide receiver to take advantage of mismatches with linebackers.
5. Between the Eagles' incompetence and the injuries to the Cowboys' two most valuable players, the NFC East is wide open. The Redskins' defense has allowed just 20 points in two games, while the offense has averaged 172 yards on the ground behind Alfred Morris and rookie sensation Matt Jones.

Winslow Art Trust Museum nears completion
Winslow Art Trust Museum hopes to host its first show this fall.
By Navajo-Hopi Observer
Originally Published: January 23, 2018 3:02 p.m.
WINSLOW , Ariz. — The La Posada Hotel grounds in Winslow is soon to be home to the Winslow Art Trust Museum. The structure is currently under construction. It will hold, among other things, the world’s largest Navajo Rug.
Lutzik, a principal in the project, said the museum is nearing completion and said the contractor should be finished with the scope of this work by the end of February.
“After the contractor is done, Allan will have the La Posada crew work on the museum for another 3 months mostly doing finish work, painting, planting, etc.,” Lutzik said.
If all goes according to plan, the Winslow Art Trust hopes to have its first show sometime this fall.
Winslow Art Trust owns the Plaza Hotel and Castaneda Hotel in Las Vegas, New Mexico. It has expanded its mission to include the historic Santa Fe Railroad Super Chief transportation corridor and the Fred Harvey Hotels in both Winslow and Las Vegas, New Mexico.
Winslow Art Trust will be developing exhibits at the New Mexico properties that discuss the history of Fred Harvey and Southwestern rail travel. It will be doing its best to convince travellers interested in this history to take Amtrak between these two towns.

Background: Medicinal plants have played a key role in the world healthcare with about 80% of Africans depending on phytomedicine, which has shown a wide range of uses in the treatment of diseases especially priority diseases of Africa. The objective of this study was to investigate the sub-acute effects of methanolic seed extracts Telfairia Occidentalis on prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and platelet values in Albino Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: Thirty rats were equally divided into groups A (control), B, C, D, and E (test). Groups B, C, D, and E were gavaged with 20, 40, 80 and 160 mg/kg body weight, respectively, of the extract for 9 days. Four milliliters of venous blood was collected from each animal and 2 ml delivered into 0.25 ml tri-sodium citrate and K 3 ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) anticoagulant bottles for the determination of PT, APTT, and platelet values, respectively. Results: APTT showed a statistically significant increase in groups D (P < 0.01) and E (P < 0.05) when compared with the control on Day 3. Platelet value demonstrated a time-dependent statistically significant decrease (P < 0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion. T. occidentalis demonstrated sub-acute inhibitory effects on coagulation.

The developing countries mostly rely on medicinal plants even though its use is still poorly understood by the general public. These medicinal plants are of great importance to health of individuals and the general communities. The medicinal values of these plants lie in some complex chemical substances that produce a definite physiological action on the human body. Fluted pumpkin also known as Telfairia occidentalis is a species of Cucurbitaceae family in the tropics and largely consumed in Nigeria, Ghana and Sierra Leone, [1] and Cameroon. The seed is widely consumed in Nigeria, especially in the southeastern part of Nigeria where it is used as a condiment in soup [2] and as food. The fermented seed of fluted pumpkin is used in the production of "Ogiri ugu," a locally made custard. The seeds of fluted pumpkin could also be used in cookie formulations and marmalade manufacturing. The seed is also a good source of edible oil. The seed contains oil, which is used for cooking. [3],[4] The oil has saponification values that are beyond the range of most oil of plants origin and less than that of palm oil. Meaning that, the oil has larger molecular weight than the common oil. [5] It also has high iodine value compared with palm oil, indicating that it has high content of unsaturated fatty acids relative to palm oil. It may be used for cooking or manufacturing of margarine and other related products. It has high specific gravity compared with commonly known vegetable oil. It has low acid value also indicating that the oil is edible. [2] The oily seeds have lactating properties and are widely consumed by the nursing mothers. [6] Fluted pumpkin seed oil (FPSO) has been reported to ameliorate the effect of quinine induced testicular damage. [7] Due to its high phosphorus content, it is said to be a potential agent in reducing kidney bladder stone disease. [8] The antioxidative property of FPSO could also enhance fertility. [9] Fluted pumpkin is commonly grown and consumed in Nigeria because of its high nutritive value [10] and medicinal potentials.
Coagulation is a complex process by which blood forms clot. It is an important part of homeostasis, the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel, wherein a damaged blood vessel wall is covered by a platelet and fibrin-containing clot to stop bleeding and begin repair of the damaged vessel. Disorders of coagulation can lead to an increased risk of bleeding (hemorrhage) or obstructive clotting (thrombosis). Coagulation is highly conserved throughout biology; in all mammals, coagulation involves both a cellular (platelet) and a protein (coagulation factor) component. The system in humans has been the most extensively researched and is therefore the best understood.
Coagulation begins almost instantly after an injury to the blood vessel has damaged the endothelium lining the vessel. Exposure of the blood to proteins such as tissue factor initiates changes to blood platelets and the plasma protein fibrinogen, a clotting factor. Platelets immediately form a plug at the site of injury; this is called primary hemostasis. Secondary hemostasis occurs simultaneously: Proteins in the blood plasma, called coagulation factors or clotting factors, respond in a complex cascade to form fibrin strands, which strengthen the platelet plug. [11]
Despite the wide and large consumption of T. occidentalis leaf and seed either nutritional or medicinal purposes in the sub-Sahara countries, its influence on coagulation is still looking in scientific literature. The aim of this study therefore was to determine the sub-acute effects of crude methanolic seed extract of T. occidentalis on prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and platelet values in Albino Wistar rats.
The seed was identified by a taxonomist, Prof J.C. Okafor, in the Department of Botany, Coal City University Enugu State, Nigeria. A voucher specimen was deposited for future reference (UNH No 1 a ). The seed was later purchased from a local market in Enugu, Enugu State, Nigeria. The seed was allowed to air-dry under shade and later grinded into fine powder.
Extraction of Plant Materials
Eight hundred (800) grams of the fine powder was weighed and dissolved in 3000 ml of 98% methanol. This was allowed for 48 hours with intermittent vigorous shaking. The mixture was strained using fine cheese cloth and filtered using Whatman paper no.1. The filtrate was then allowed to air-dry at room temperature in an open stainless silver basin. The semi-solid oily brown residual substance was stored in the refrigerator at 4°C till used.
Experimental Animals
Thirty (30) male Albino Wistar rats weighing 130-200 g obtained from the Animal House College of Medicine, University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus were used for the study. The rats were divided into five groups A, B, C, D, and E, with six rats per cage. The rats were housed in well stainless steel washed cages under standard rats' pelleted diet (starter top feed) and water throughout the study period. Ethical approval was obtained from the University Nigeria Nsukka, Enugu State, Nigeria, Animal Study Review Board and the approved guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.
From the LD 50 value which was greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight [12] the test groups (B-E) were orally fed with graded doses (20, 40, 80, and 160 mg/kg body weight), respectively of the plant extract, once daily for 9 days. Group A served as control and received no treatment. Four milliliters of venous blood was painlessly and aseptically collected from each animal. Two animals were bled from each experimental group at Days 3, 6, and 9 from the retrobulbular plexus of the median cantus of the eye under very mild anesthesia. Two milliliters was delivered into a tube containing 0.25 ml of tri-sodium citrate anticoagulant and mixed gently by inversion. This was used for PT and APTT determination, while the remaining 2 ml was dispensed into a tube containing tri-potassium ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (K 3 EDTA) anticoagulant for platelet count determination. The supernatant citrated plasma after spinning for 15 min at 3000 r.p.m. was removed and placed in a clean glass tube. All samples were analyzed within 2 hours of collection. PT, APTT, and platelets were determined by standard method as described by Dacie and Lewis, [11] while the platelet count was determined using an automated hematology analyzer-sysmex Kx-21N.
Data was analyzed with the Graph-Pad Prism computer Software. Students''t' test and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to compare data. P < 0.05 was considered significant.
There was no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05) when the pre- and postweights of the experimental animals were compared [Figure 1].
Figure 1: Represents the mean weights of the rats before and after administration of methanolic seed extract of T.occidentalis (P > 0.05 between pre- and postweight in all the test groups)
APTT mean value showed a statistically significant increase (P < 0.01) in group D (80 mg/kg) and (P > 0.05) in group E (160 mg/kg) when compared with the control group A, on Day 3 [Table 1].
Table 1: Comparison of the mean ± SE of the PT, APTT, and platelet values after 3 days of oral crude extract administration with the control group
However, there was no statistically significance difference (P > 0.05) in all parameters evaluated in the test groups when compared with the control group on Days 6 and 9 [Table 2] and [Table 3].
In addition, PT mean value recorded a dose-dependent statistically significant decrease (P < 0.05) on Day 3 when groups B, C, D, and E were compared. Furthermore, platelet mean value demonstrated a time-dependent statistically significant decrease (P < 0.05) when Days 3, 6, and 9 were compared.
Several medicinal uses of fluted pumpkin in traditional medicine have not been documented, and many of these claims are yet to be validated by scientific research. Similarly, despite its widely consumption, information on its effects on coagulation has not being documented. Hence, this study was designed to investigate the sub-acute effect of T. occidentalis on PT, APTT, and platelet mean values in Albino Wistar rats. T. occidentalis commonly known as "fluted pumpkin" as a herb, has several medicinal properties; the seed extract is useful in the management of liver problems and impaired defense immune system. [13] There was no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05) when the pre- and postweights of the experimental animals were compared at the end of the study period. This indicates that the methanolic seed extract, most likely had no effect on weight. However, this result should be treated with caution since the extract was only administered for 9 days. Also, one could have expected a dramatic increase since earlier scientific report have claimed that the seeds are highly nutritious [14],[15],[16],[17] and a good source of four minerals required in human nutrition. [18] Whether there is a relationship between weight changes and blood coagulation is subject to further investigation in a chronic study.
APTT showed a statistically significant increase (P < 0.01) and (P < 0.05) in groups D (80 mg/kg) and E (160 mg/kg), respectively, when compared with the control group on day 3. This could be attributed to either the inhibitory effect of the crude seed extract indirectly on the liver where the coagulation factors are being synthesized or directly in the peripheral system where they function. It could also be due to the inhibition of the coagulation proteins by the methanolic seed extract, which invariably is most likely to prolong coagulation, more especially the intrinsic coagulation pathway. In addition, the most probable reason could be due to the phytochemical composition of T. occidentalis which flavanoid is one and has being shown to be an effective inhibitor of platelet aggregation and also possesses antithrombotic activities [19] because they directly scavenge free radicals, thereby maintaining proper concentration of endothelial prostacyclin and nitric oxide.
Furthermore, one could also suggest that since flavanoids are powerful antithrombotic agent because of their inhibition of the activities of cyclo-oxygenase and lipo-oxygenase pathways as earlier reported by Tzeng et al., [20] is most likely to have also contributed to the prolonged APTT in particular and maybe coagulation in general. There was no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05) in all parameters investigated in the test groups when compared with the control group on days 6 and 9. This could be attributed to the fact that, the test groups might have by normal physiological phenomenon adjusted/adapted to the adverse effect on day 3. However, this was disproved by a dose-dependent statistically significant decrease (P < 0.05) in PT on day 3 in the one-way ANOVA. This was further supported by a time-dependent statistically significant decrease (P < 0.05) in platelet count in the one-way ANOVA. However, this alteration could be due to increase in arachidonic acid by platelets to form prostaglandins, endoperoxides, and thromboxane A 2 , which invariably stimulate platelet activation and aggregation. [21]
Finally, platelet mean values generally recorded a marginal, nonstatistically significant decrease (P > 0.05) in the test groups when compared with control group throughout the study period. This suggests that T. occidentalis is most likely to possess some antithrombopoietic activity. Hence, its consumption among subjects with bleeding disorders should be evaluated.
T. occidentalis demonstrated sub-acute inhibitory effects on coagulation in healthy Albino Wistar rats. Hence, patients with bleeding disorders or who are prone to bleeding disorders should consume T. occidentalis with caution and constant evaluation of their coagulation status is hereby recommended.

So about $900 in the US? Not bad. I don't use UWA much but for that price I may end up with one eventually.
Vitaliy, any word on them developing a tele zoom to complete the trio?
@aldolega
I am sure they'll do such. but hard to say how soon.

Tamron will have a 17-28mm pricing announcement this week and preorder will start also.
799 EUR preorder - https://www.foto24.com/tamron-17-28mm-f-2-8-di-iii-rxd-sony-e-a046.html
Tamron announces the launch of the 17-28mm F/2.8 Di III RXD (Model A046), a large aperture, ultra-wide-angle lens for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. The Model A046 features a filter diameter of Ø67mm (astonishingly small for a full-frame, large aperture, ultra-wide-angle zoom lens) as well as an unprecedented light weight of 14.8 oz. and diminutive length of 3.9 in. The compact size provides excellent balance on the small profile mirrorless cameras and is easy to carry. The lens will be available July 25 at approximately $899 at authorized Tamron USA retailers.
The Model A046 offers a large F/2.8 aperture throughout the entire zoom range and delivers high-resolution and contrast edge-to-edge. The combination of ultra-wide-angle focal length, large constant F/2.8 aperture and an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 7.5 in. at the wide-angle end encourages richly expressive and creative photography in a multitude of scenarios.
The new 17-28mm zoom’s AF drive system is powered by the RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit that enables it to deliver high-speed, high-precision and superbly quiet operation, making it suitable for shooting virtually noise-free video as well as still photographs.
In addition, the new zoom lens features Moisture-Resistant Construction and a hydrophobic Fluorine Coating that repels fingerprints and dirt. Plus, the Model A046 is fully compatible with various camera-specific features including Fast Hybrid AF and Eye AF. High performance, combined with exceptional portability, make the 17-28mm zoom ideal for daily use.
Companion model to the compact, popular Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III RXD (Model A036) zoom Sharing the same development concept as the highly esteemed Model A036 that launched in May 2018, the 17-28mm zoom (Model A046) was designed with the top priority of high optical performance in a form factor that is light and compact. Tamron engineers have achieved an unrivaled small size (3.9 in) and light weight (14.8 oz) for a zoom range of 17-28mm. The overall length does not change when zoomed or during focus, thereby creating stable, well balanced operation and excellent mobility. In addition, Model A046 features a filter diameter of just 67mm, very small for an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens. It has the same filter size as its sister lens the Model A036 allowing the use of the same lens cap and filters. The two zooms together create an extremely compact system that covers 17 to 75mm and weighs less than 35.3 oz.
Superb high-resolution performance
The 17-28mm zoom’s optical design consists of 13 lenses in 11 groups, including three aspherical lens elements, two LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements and one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) lens element that has properties close to those of fluorite. Together they efficiently suppress chromatic and other aberrations. Additionally, Tamron’s legendary BBAR (Broad-Brand Anti-Reflection) Coating effectively reduces ghosting and flare. Leveraging camera functions*, it provides excellent optical performance matching the latest high-resolution image sensors from edge-to-edge throughout the entire zoom range. The combination of compact size and light weight plus high-resolution performance lets users capture a wide variety of genre including landscapes, architecture and casual snapshot photography.
Extreme close-up capability enables versatile creative expression with ultra-wide-angle zoom The 17-28mm zoom focuses close. The MOD at the 17mm wide position is 7.5 in (same as Model A036) and the maximum magnification ratio is 1:5.2. At the 28mm end, it achieves the maximum magnification ratio of 1:6 while reaching the MOD of 10.2 in This remarkable performance allows users to create compositions that emphasize perspective (the closer subject is larger and the more distant one is smaller) and that are unique to wide-angle lenses.
The RXD stepping motor unit is exceptionally quiet
The AF drive incorporates a sensor that accurately detects the position of the lens while the RXD motor unit delivers optimized AF control. This achieves very fast and accurate autofocus operation, allowing users to maintain pin-sharp focus on continually moving subjects or when filming video. The exceedingly quiet operation is an important advantage because it virtually eliminates extraneous sounds during video recording. In addition, the compact configuration of the RXD AF drive system contributes to the unprecedented size and weight reduction.
Moisture-Resistant Construction and Fluorine Coating
Environmental seals are located at the lens mount area and other critical locations to prevent infiltration of moisture and/or rain drops and afford Moisture-Resistant construction. This feature provides an additional layer of protection when shooting outdoors under adverse weather conditions. Also, the front surface of the lens element is coated with a protective fluorine compound that has excellent water- and oil-repellant qualities. The lens surface is easier to wipe clean and is less vulnerable to the damaging effects of dirt, moisture or oily fingerprints, allowing for much easier maintenance.
Consistent design and operation throughout all Tamron lenses for full-frame mirrorless cameras
Similar to the 28-75mm (Model A036), the 17-28mm (Model A046) has a zoom ring at the front and a focus ring at the rear. Zooming, focusing and other functions are identical in this series to ensure consistent operation. The design is not only beautiful, it is functional as well and features an outer housing hugging the smooth contours of the lens body, deftly worked Luminous Gold brand ring and the precise, rigid metal lens mount. The Luminous Gold brand ring solidifies the characteristic look of a Tamron-branded lens whether on its own or attached to a camera body.
Versatile, exciting combination when paired with the 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III RXD (Model A036) Two high-performance partners, the 17-28mm combined with the 28-75mm, cover the super-broad range from 17mm ultra wide-angle to 75mm medium telephoto, and maintain excellent speed with an open aperture of F/2.8. The total weight of the two lenses is 34.2 oz, less than 1kg. This compact but potent combo makes the most of the mobility of mirrorless cameras. In addition, both models have a filter diameter of 67mm, so the same filters such as PL (Polarizer) and ND (Neutral Density) may be used with both models, and lens caps are interchangeable.
Compatible with main camera-specific features and functions
Tamron’s new 17-28mm zoom is compatible with many of the advanced features that are specific to certain mirrorless cameras. This includes the following:
Fast Hybrid AF
Eye AF
Direct Manual Focus (DMF)
In-camera lens correction (shading, chromatic aberration, distortion)
Camera-based lens unit firmware updates
UK - RRP of £899, and a release date of late July 2019.

ITEM 5 Bill King presented the Credentials Report. There are 44 High Schools and 50 Junior High Schools present at today’s meeting. Mr. Majikes thanked Walter Allabaugh and Matt Himlin for their assistance in taking attendance.
ITEM 6 Chairman Majikes reviewed a number of items with the member schools present:
· Pending approval at today’s LIAA League Meeting, there will be a power rating in place for the 2016-17 District II Basketball playoffs. The rating will be determined by calculating both the Team Weighted Winning Percentage (TWWP) for District II teams utilizing their full 22 game schedule and their Opponents’ Weighted Winning Percentage (OWWP) utilizing all of their regular season and exhibition season games. All games against PIAA District II opponents will count in calculating a team’s TWWP and OWWP using the approved system. Games against non-District II PIAA opponents will use unweighted wins and losses for a team’s OWWP for that opponent; and, games against Non-PIAA opponents will use unweighted wins and losses for a team’s OWWP for that opponent. Teams are expected to complete all of their scheduled games. Games that are not made up are subject to a final rating affected by a multiplier.
· Criteria for assignments in all District II Championship sports for 2016-2017 will be changed. The District will no longer be required to hold to the “geographic” method of appointing game officials in basketball, soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, football, baseball and softball. The league affiliation of the teams will no longer determine the makeup of the officiating crews as the assignors will work together to place the most deserving officials in district tournament competitions.
· Chairman Majikes reviewed the recently conducted District II Basketball Championships held at the Mohegan Sun Arena and provided championship programs for all of the schools present today. More than 10,000 fans attended the two days of championship competition. He quickly reviewed the policy regarding gold passes at the Arena for the championships. Gold Passes were not accepted this year and will not be accepted in the future at the Mohegan Sun Championships.
ITEM 7 Chairman Majikes introduced Melissa Mertz, Associate Executive Director of the PIAA, who discussed the following talking points:
· Reviewed the changes in the number of classifications in various sports for the 2016-17 and 2017-18 two year cycle. In the Fall, Football moves from 4 to 6 classifications, Girls Volleyball from 3 to 4, Soccer from 3 to 4, and Field Hockey from 2 to 3. In the Winter, Basketball from 4 to 6; and, in the Spring, Baseball from 4 to 6, Softball from 4 to 6, and Lacrosse from 1 to 2.
· The PIAA is currently involved in a class action suit brought forward in District 7 regarding concussions. The suit involves two football players and 1 softball player.
· There is also a court case involving the potential unionization of Boys & Girls Lacrosse Officials in Districts 7 & 8. The National Labor Relations Board is now reviewing the question as to whether PIAA officials should be considered independent contractors vs. employees. If officials are found to be employees they must pay union dues, taxes, and be subject to seniority vs. quality rules.
· RFP’s are currently out for all the winter championships. The RFP’s are asking for 4 year contracts and the deadline for completing the RFP was April 22nd. Hopefully, those sites will be announced in late May or June.
· The PIAA Coaching Education Requirement – effective July 1, 2016 – requires all coaches to undergo certification training in Coaching Fundamentals/Principles & First Aid. Coaches will have two years from the effective date in order to complete certification requirements. Coaches hired after July 1, 2016 will have two years from their hire date to complete the requirements.
· The 2016 Baseball & Softball Championships have been moved up by one day to Thursday, June 16th due to scheduling commitments at Penn State.
ITEM 8 Dr. Robert Lombardi, Executive Director of the PIAA, then offered other comments and remarks highlighting the following points:
· Reminded all schools that they must have their Emergency Action Plans (EAP) in place. The PIAA sent information on this to principals in September, 2015.
· Explained that there were a number of By-Law changes that can be found on the PIAA website – they will be highlighted in the By-Law section in RED and include:
ü Article II – Amateur status – regarding the signing of a contract for consideration/participation as well as the procedure to return donations to schools.
ü Article X – Curriculum – regards a change involving students with disabilities.
ü Sportsmanship & Unsportsmanlike Conduct – Athletic courtesy in the cancelling, scheduling or re-scheduling of contracts with schools
ü Article XV- Officials – language is now consistent with the Child Protection Act and officials can not be assigned to a PIAA competition without completed clearances.
ü Article XVI – Season & Out of Season Activities – definition of week “0” in Football for those schools who are now scheduling games on the second scrimmage date.
ü Competitive Cheer Tryouts – spring try outs can’t include 7th and 8th graders. You can include those students for cheerleading squads for sports, but not for the Competitive Cheer squad.
· Explained that there were a number of Policy Changes – they will be in RED on the PIAA website and include:
ü Athletic transfer waiver request form – non-school athletic influences
ü Drone policy – case by case basis for each school, drones can’t fly over competition surfaces
ü Transgender policy –principal’s determination as to which gender student will participate in for the school year
ü Payments by check for inter-district games – expedited process.
ü There will be a 90 second limit for video streaming of inter-district PIAA contests and must have prior PIAA approval to do so.
· CIPPE changes – shaded on PIAA website – certification date is not the authorized date. Items E & F – Section 2 must have a signature in order to comply with FIRPA and HIPPA requirements.
· The Rawlings R2 football is not available as production has stopped due to a patent infringement finding. The PIAA will bid all ball contracts in January 2017 for a 4 year period. Football will be utilizing the Wilson GST 1003 for its inter district competitions.
· Heat acclimatization for football must have 5 days beginning on Monday, August 8th or Tuesday, August 9th if schools are going to utilize week “0” as a play date. That will provide for 5 days of heat acclimatization and 5 days of full practice prior to first scrimmage date – first scrimmage date must be Saturday, August 20th.
ITEM 9 NEW BUSINESS – The following new business items were conducted:
Former Committee member, Marty Lawler, entertained motions for the election of members for the District II Committee for the 2016-2017 school year.
A motion was made by Joe Gilhool (Athletic Director-Montrose) and seconded by Cliff Jones (AD – Coughlin) that the present members be retained. All Ayes
A motion was made by Sandy Mackay (AD-WVW), seconded by Ken Janiszewski (AD- Tunkhannock) that the nominations be closed. All Ayes
The current committee members will be retained.
ITEM 10 Fred Barletta offered benediction.
ITEM 15 A motion was made by Ted Anderson (AD-Scranton), seconded by Jon Kandrick (AD-Crestwood) to adjourn. All Ayes
Meeting was adjourned at 10:50 a.m.
Mike Ognosky, District II Secretary

August 2015: Feeding gilts isn’t all plain sailing
By Phil Baynes on August 1, 2015 Phil Baynes
There’s a plethora of information regarding gilt breeding programmes, and knowing which information is most relevant to each unit is tricky. I often come across units that aren’t quite maximising the potential of their gilts; a situation that could often be improved through more dialogue with the genetics supplier.
Take, for example, nutritional density of rations. Advice can vary as raw material matrices are not standard between feed companies. The breeding company might suggest a gilt rearing diet of 13.6MJ/kg DE – but which matrix did this originate from?
Depending on the nutrient attribution to individual raw materials, this could easily vary by 0.5MJ/kg DE both up or down from the original formulated ration, meaning that the gilt could be underfed and overfed depending on how close the nutritionist’s raw material matrix is compared with that of the breeding company.
This is quite critical, as allowing gilts the opportunity to express their early growth and put on lean as well as fat is vital to the longevity of that breeding animal.
If the breeding company provided an example formulation, then the unit’s nutritionist can calibrate their matrix values. This would be a more standardised approach for the farm.
Then there’s the knotty issue of age at first serving, with various authors suggesting anywhere between 200 and 270 days of age and weights of between 120kg and 170kg at first service. Fortunately, there’s a general agreement that first service should be at the second heat, but age and weight recommendations at this stage vary significantly. It’s worth asking for breeding company recommendations. Some research suggests that underweight animals and gilts served too late will be poorer performers and will be likely to be culled early.
Once through farrowing, the challenges of the first lactation are huge as we try to stimulate and maximise future breeding performance by loading every working teat with a piglet. The gilt is under great strain, coping with 12 to 14 suckling piglets even though she still hasn’t reached her mature bodyweight and at a stage when her feed intake is compromised. In fact, we’re asking her to consume about three times the amount of feed she’s ever eaten each day.
And she has a very limited capacity to store milk in her mammary glands where capacity is reached about every 50 to 70 minutes. Maximum yields come from the conversion of feed and mobilisation of body tissues; so, in an ideal world, these gilts require a fortified specific first-lactation diet.
And while this might seem tricky within multiparous operations and with limited bulk bin space, meeting her nutritional needs in early lactation may be worthwhile if we’re to take on board the comments of Michigan State University associate professor Nathalie Trottier. It’s her view that the outcome of the first lactation will dictate whether or not the gilt remains in the herd or is culled.
Sow longevity may well be determined, in part, by management during this stage.
It’s equally important to avoid over-conditioned gilts at farrowing – they’re likely to have a prolonged period of reduced intakes and this can lead to constipation. Additional fibre pre-farrowing and for the first few days after will help here.
While it’s so much easier to manage gilts with sows on a busy unit, these are typical pitfalls that, with some specific gilt management changes, can at least in part be averted – an area worth attention given the current high replacement gilt prices compared to low cull sow values.

CO2 emission mitigation goal

Policies for economically sustainable development
Policies for socially sustainable development
Policies for environmentally sustainable development
To predict the feasibility of whether China can achieve an up to 65% of carbon emissions intensity (CEI) reduction goal from 2005 levels by 2030, we performed dynamic simulations and predictions of China’s CO2 emissions at the national scale from a system dynamics perspective. More specifically, we developed a system dynamics model based on LMDI analysis to simulate and estimate CO2 emissions under 10 different scenarios in China during 1991-2030. The result shows that China’s CEI will decrease by 67.86-84.63% in 2030 compared to the 2005 level, which means that China will be able to meet the emission reduction goal by 2030, and China’s CO2 emissions will peak sometime between 2020 and 2025. In addition, the quantitative evidence suggests that transforming the energy structure will make a significant contribution to CO2 emissions reduction. As the proportion of renewables increases, CO2 emissions decrease in terms of both scale and peak value and peaks earlier. So, the findings also indicate that the optimization for energy structure by replacing fossil fuels (especially coal) with renewables at a suitable growth rate can promote the coordination between economic growth and CO2 emissions mitigation.

The Sister Cities movement in Australia www.sistercitiesaustralia.com is organised through local councils and community committees and associations.
As a 355C committee of Council, Port Stephens Sister Cities Committee receives funding each year for their administration costs. Membership to Sister Cities is open to everyone. Annual membership is $10 adults, $5 for youth or $25 for a family. A membership form must be completed to qualify for insurance coverage.
Positions on the committee are elected from the floor at each AGM.
Meetings are held monthly at Nelson Bay Bowling Club, on the last Thursday of the month commencing at 7pm in the Bay East Room.
The ideals of the committee are to:
create and strengthen partnerships between Australia and international communities to increase global cooperation at the local level;
promote peace through mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation;
further develop and enhance a community's rich diversity and culture;
provide personal development opportunities for adults and youth; and
create new opportunities for trade and investment.
Port Stephens Council has enjoyed a formal partnership with several sister cities since the early 1980s.
Our first Sister Cities relationship began with Bellingham in the US state of Washington. In 1983, French company Pechiney wanted to construct an aluminium plant in Tomago, Port Stephens similar to a smelter in Bellingham. The cities officially formed a partnership when Port Stephens Council sent representatives to Bellingham to view Pechiney’s technology.
In September 2018, Port Stephens Mayor Ryan Palmer and General Manager Wayne Wallis attended the Sister Cities Mayoral Summit in Bellingham to foster global dialogue, cultural awareness and our ongoing relationship with our Sister Cities. Visit the Bellingham website.
Yugawara, Japan
In 1999, Yugawara formally became a Sister City, after many years of exchanges and Friendship City relationships. Subsequent tours have been hosted to and from Yugawara from 2001 until now. Students from Yugawara attend school at St Phillips in Salamander Bay and Port Stephens students also have the chance to experience the Japanese school system. Visit the Yugawara website.
Tateyama, Japan
A Friendship City agreement was signed with Tateyama in 1999 and formalised with a Sister City agreement in November 2009. A delegation from Port Stephens attended the official signing in Tateyama in 2009, while the next year, a delegation from Tateyama came to Port Stephens for a reciprocal signing. Tours have been hosted to and from Tateyama since 2001, including the Wakashio Marathon Exchange. Visit the Tateyma website.

So when you sang “You're So Vain,” the song really was about me, wasn't it?
This is top work from artist C.C. Beale on this cover for Van Wyck Mason's Saigon Singer, especially the small elements of the background writing on the wall and the Siamese cat in the foreground. The singer of the title—who never performs “You're So Vain,” sadly—is Pamela Saunders, a former prisoner in a Japanese internment camp who survives filth and near starvation to resurrect herself as singer in Saigon. Along the way she becomes known as Black Chrysanthemum before adopting the stage name Xenia Morel. Her transformation is interesting, but the star of the story is Major Hugh North, who turns up in Saigon looking for a dossier containing the names of British and American traitors who during the war sold secrets to a Japanese general. Saunders-Chrysanthemum-Morel survived the prison camp by becoming the mistress of the general, and it's due to this close association that she possesses the dossier. She'll give it to North, but only if he pays her enough money to get to Paris, where she wants to continue her singing career.
Mason knew this part of the world and uses his knowledge well in writing of Saigon social life, oppressive heat, scented baths, tiger hunts, French legionnaires, and other you-had-to-be-there aspects of post-World War II Vietnam. As number thirteen in a series of exotic Hugh North mysteries (others were set in Singapore, Burma, Manila, Bangkok, et al) we sense a formula here, but in the end we liked it despite the usual flaws of colonialist fiction, and we were envious of Mason for having travelled in that part of the world during that time, and having been lucky enough to make a career of writing about it. Well, maybe we can't complain too much—we've hit some good spots too. And we write, though we get fuck-all for it. In any case, this particular discovery makes us curious about earlier Mason books, so maybe we'll check out some of his Hugh North adventures. Saigon Singer was originally published in 1946, and the above edition is from 1948.

It's Ho Chi Minh City (not Saigon). Why they changed it we can't say. People just liked it better that way.
This is a beautiful Spanish poster for the 1947 adventure Saigon, which opened in Madrid today in 1948. The film is one of innumerable mid-century thrillers set in foreign cities. At a time when the rest of the world was so distant and hard to reach, Hollywood fetishized it, romanticized it, and set stories wholly or partly in Mexico, Argentina, Morocco, China, Hong Kong, Martinique, and an entire atlas of other places. But today, with the rest of the world so easy to reach, Hollywood mostly tells audiences they'll be kidnapped or dismembered if they leave home. Saigon is old school. It makes viewers wish they could fly to mystical East Asia. Of course, the film's Saigon doesn't exist anymore, but the fact that Hollywood set a movie there tells you it must have been quite a place. But they say that about all the former colonial cities, don't they? Rangoon, Bombay, and Constantinople, as brilliantly eulogized in the satirical song by The Four Lads, “Istanbul (Not Constantinople).”
Saigon deals with two recently discharged military buddies played by Alan Ladd and Wally Cassell who decide to stay in Asia to show their terminally ill third pal a good time before he dies in a few months. The third man doesn't know he's ticketed for oblivion, which leads to problems when Veronica Lake takes a liking to him. No mater how romantic old Saigon was, only so many tropical nights and platters of French-Vietnamese fusion cuisine can distract you from the fact that the love-hate relationship between Ladd and Lake is unpalatable. To us, slapping, insults, and over-the-top meanness feels like hate-hate. But put on your retro filter and you'll find a lot of comedy in this film, thanks to motormouth quipster Cassell. Some of his lines are truly clever. It wouldn't be exaggerating to say he makes the first sixty minutes of running time watchable.
When Lake inevitably falls for Ladd even though he's been treating her like a disease for hundreds of nautical miles, you'll accept it because it's a motif in old movies—though usually managed with a lot more charm and finesse. Overall we consider Saigon recommendable, but just barely. You know what we really took away from this movie, though? What you needed to do back then was open a shop and sell white suits. You'd have made a fortune. There are more white suits here than you can count. Far more than in Casablanca or Our Man in Havana. This film will make you wonder whether you can pull off the white suit. But even if you looked okay in it where would you wear it these days? Like old Saigon, that city is gone.

Yes, I’d like to order a pair of curtains, immediately please.
The French had a wide array of nudie—er, we mean, art—magazines during the mid-century period, including Paris-Hollywood and Folies de Paris et de Hollywood, which are the two we’ve focused on up to now. Regal was another popular publication—digest sized, light on text, and put together by Éditions Extentia, an outfit based out of 38 Rue du Monte-Thabor in Paris that also published Sensations, Chi-Chis, Paris-Broadway, and Paris-Tabou. It was a far-flung enterprise, even distributing issues in distant French Indochina via the loftily named Société Franco-Asiatique located in Saigon. Or if one preferred, issues could be obtained direct from France through the use of “envoi discret,” or discreet shipping, by which we expect they mean in a plain brown wrapper. This issue of Regal, with its voyeur themed cover photo suggesting a woman spied through an open window, was published in 1952. We have twenty-five scans below.

Eddie Adams’ photograph inadvertently helped change public opinion about the Vietnam War.
Above, one of the most important photographic images of the twentieth century, a Pulitzer Prize winner shot by photographer Eddie Adams. On a sweltering Saigon afternoon, a Viet Cong officer is executed by South Vietnamese national police chief Brig. Gen Nguyen Ngoc Loan, forty-two years ago today. There’s also a widely seen film of the gruesome incident. The photo galvanized the U.S. anti-war effort, but interestingly, Adams regretted taking it, saying that the circumstances around such a photo could never be adequately explained and Nguyen Ngoc Loan appeared to be a villain when perhaps he wasn’t. Such complex considerations are no longer a serious worry for war photographers. Due to Pentagon restrictions, it’s highly unlikely an image like this could now be captured.

Review: 'Another Kind Of Wedding' Tells A Tired, Busy Dysfunctional Wedding Story
By Unknown5/11/2018View Comments
Another Kind of Wedding is an irritating indie take on the fairly tired “dysfunctional family hashes out dysfunction at a wedding” movie trope. There is a lot going on as far as how the family is dysfunctional: the bride is the groom’s brother ex-girlfriend, the mother of the groom who was cheated on by her ex-wife later had a thing with that ex’s assistant, the groom’s sister entertains romance with said assistant while her fiancé fanboys over her ex-boyfriend. And that’s just the drama relating to the characters directly related to the groom, who doesn’t get away without having spats with his brother and his fiancé, of course.
I thought the cast did a good job given what they were given to work with. It was a delight to watch Kathleen Turner and Francis Fisher play estranged mothers Barbara and Tammy to their three dysfunctional children and riffing with the other characters. My big problem with this movie was that there was a bizarre number of subplots that are under-explored and mostly unresolved: Barbara’s wedding date Albert (Wallace Shawn) flirting with a buxom woman who likes older men, Tammy’s disdain for her future daughter-in-law, and scorned son Kurt's (Kevin Zeger) struggling acting career. Those are just some of the storylines that are not part o the drama I mentioned earlier. It felt like there were a lot of ideas of how this family could be made dysfunctional but too much indecision to axe any of them.
All in all, I would pass on this movie. It’s fun enough to watch, but I felt annoyed the whole time watching characters that I didn’t find terribly endearing be terrible to each other. I desperately wish there were way fewer random dysfunctional angles of storylines so that we could get more depth of the characters and their relationships. There was a lot of potential and it felt wasted here, especially as a take on a really old and tired movie trope.

New walks launched for Weaverham
The Weaverham Trust have created two new guided walks for their local area which will be launching on Saturday 16th September .
Known as ‘The Petal Walks’, they consist of a two circular walks : one of two miles exploring Weaverham, Bottom Pitch Meadow and Owley Wood, and another of four miles exploring Weaverham and Acton Bridge.
The project has been made possible with funding from the National Lottery’s Heritage Lottery Fund through the Saltscape Landscape Partnership, and is part of the ‘Greener Way’ project. This is a long term plan aimed at enhancing the natural and built environment of Weaverham and the surrounding areas.
Saul Burton from Saltscape said, ‘Like the Saltscape trail in nearby Northwich Woodlands, the Petal Walks explore the important links between the area’s natural landscape features and the industry and communities that have shaped this special area of Cheshire.
We’re delighted that all the hard work by local volunteers in compiling the trails and in caring for their local landscape can now be celebrated and shared with visitors and local people exploring the area.’
Paul Nolan, Director of the Mersey Forest Trust will introduce the Petal Walks at the launch on Saturday 16th September. The family walk will begin at Acton Bridge Parish Rooms at 11:00 and will finish at Bottom Pitch Meadow, off Owley Wood Road in Weaverham.
The route will go via St Mary’s church in Weaverham, where people who would prefer to begin in Weaverham can join. The group hope to arrive at Bottom Pitch by 12:30pm where you can buy a packed lunch (or bring your own). Tea & Coffee will also be available in the Owley Wood Scouts hall where a bouncy castle and face painting will also be available.
The walks have been designed to be accessible for adults & children of all age. More information is available at www.weaverhamtrust.co.uk. You can view the trail leaflets from our resources page. Printed copies are available across the village and from Weaverham Trust

Vanadium dioxide thin films nanostructures were synthesized by pulsed laser deposition on soda lime glass at a substrate temperature of 600°C and the effects of the oxygen deposition pressure on the crystalline structure and the phase transition characteristics of VO2 nanostructured films were investigated. The structure and microstructure of the films have been examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results indicate that the crystal structure of the films is strongly sensitive to the oxygen deposition pressure; exhibiting sharp a-axis diffraction peaks, showing a texturation along (1 0 0) plane. A detailed description of the growth mechanisms and the substrate–film interaction is given, and the characteristics of the electronic transition and hysteresis of the phase transition are described in terms of the morphology, grain boundary structure and crystal orientation. The sharpness of the transition and the hysteresis upon heating and cooling are found to be strong functions of the crystal structure and microstructure (grain size).

How not to launch a product – What to learn from the Nintendo Wii U fiasco
Lose your brand and your audience
Once upon a time, Nintendo’s consoles were the coolest around. While PlayStation tried to corner the “sleek” market, Nintendo went for quirky and turned out products that just looked cool. The Game Boy, N64 and GameCube all still rank among the top 20 best selling consoles of all time, a group the Wii U is a long way off cracking.
The trouble is, no one who loved those consoles pay for or rave about the Wii U. It feels like something made by a completely different company, with none of the heart and soul that made the old school products so loveable. If you want to launch your next product well, make sure it resonates with your market.
Be a one (or two) trick pony
The Nintendo brand wasn’t built on a million good games. It was built on a few brilliant ones. Mario, Zelda and Smash Bros were the cornerstones of great sales of each new console. It worked perfectly for Nintendo. All they needed to do was ensure a new version of each game was released on each new product, and the sales would follow.
But those sales were tied to a specific audience, an audience that grew up and, for the most part, stopped buying brand new consoles. When you’re growing your business, make sure you know how to attract new customers as well as old, because appealing exclusively to your loyal fan base only works if they’re guaranteed to stay.
Release the same product twice
What’s the difference between the Wii and Wii U. I couldn’t tell you. Maybe the people who know the gaming industry well could, but they don’t make up the majority of gaming sales. General perception is that Nintendo did not add much value between the consoles.
If you’re releasing a new product, make sure your audience know why it’s being released and why they should buy it. They need to be reassured they’re putting their money into something worthwhile and you’re not taking their money for something they already paid for.
Fall behind the competition
Where Nintendo has failed, Sony and Microsoft have found huge success. Their new products have strong links to past offerings, they’ve added great titles and people believe the new releases are different to what’s come before.
These effects are being felt in sales. Despite being released a year later, both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One are quickly catching the Wii U in numbers snapped up. If you’re searching for great examples of how to release a successful product, look at Sony and Microsoft long before you go to Nintendo.

TOS Film Clip Frames - Rare Imagery From The Cutting Room Floor Part IX
While Star Trek: The Original Series was still in production, Gene Roddenberry formed a memorabilia merchandising company called Lincoln Enterprises that sold items such as scripts, postcards, IDIC jewelry, flight deck certificates, tribbles and other collectibles to fans of the show. Among the most unique items offered were packets of film clip frames; which contained pieces of the "trims" and "outtakes" (the unused pieces of printed footage) that were left over after the film editors assembled the desirable footage into the finished master versions of the Star Trek episodes. Lincoln Enterprises sold different packets of film clips that were sorted based on principal character or other themes. Fans could buy a set containing just footage of Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura or a set featuring aliens, etc. Typically 2 to 3 near identical images were present on each strip of film that varied in length between 1.5" to 2.5". Each film clip was unique and was a piece of the actual film running through the Desilu cameras as the Star Trek episodes were being filmed.
Presented below are a series of never before seen images taken from a large collection of TOS film clip frames in the authors collection. They were acquired in the early '70s directly from Lincoln Enterprises, and this is the first time that they have been captured as digital images.
The entire collection has been preserved as originally obtained over 35 years ago ...

Target's tech trouble clogs stores with long checkout lines
By MICHAEL LIEDTKE Associated Press
June 15, 2019 — 5:00pm
SAN FRANCISCO — A glitch stalled checkout lines at Target stores worldwide Saturday, exasperating shoppers and potentially eating into sales at a prime time for retailers, the day before Father's Day.
The roughly two-hour outage periodically prevented Target's cashiers from scanning merchandise or processing transactions as long lines formed in some stores. Self-checkout registers, usually the speediest of options, also weren't working at times.
Target temporarily closed some of its stores, including one in San Francisco, rather than risk aggravating shoppers.
"Our technology team worked quickly to identify and fix the issue, and we apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this caused for our guests," Target said in a Saturday statement.
Before the company figured out was wrong, a Target employee was warning customers that they might not be able to check out as they entered a San Francisco store early Saturday afternoon. Sales were being completed after intermittent delays during the half hour an AP reporter observed the lines at the store.
But some shoppers posting on their Twitter accounts Saturday painted a different picture as they vented about excruciatingly long lines but expressed sympathy for the Target employees trying to cope with the situation.
The meltdown hit Target at the worst time for a mass-market merchant, given Saturdays are typically one of the busiest shopping days of the week.
Target has been vexed by technology before, most notably in 2013 when malware installed in its checkout system resulted in a data heist that exposed personal information in more than 40 million credit and debit card accounts. That debacle triggered lawsuits and eventually led to the departure of its CEO, Gregg Steinhafel.
The Minneapolis company said customers caught in up the checkout slowdown have no reason to worry.
"After an initial but thorough review, we can confirm that this was not a data breach or security-related issue, and no guest information was compromised at any time," Target said.

Tamweel… scores a perfect Ten!
(From left to right: Justin Rogers, Joanne Mathews, Adam Spencer, Ben Merrifield, Ali Aneizi)
Tamweel is pleased to announce its latest deal, a multi-million pound growth capital raise for Ten Health & Fitness, London’s leading provider of Dynamic Reformer Pilates, Physiotherapy and Sports Massage treatments.
The business has been backed by Foresight and was established in 2007 by Joanne Mathews. After suffering from injuries sustained in a car accident, Joanne spotted a gap in the market for a wellness experience that combined fitness with rehabilitation. Ten’s first studio opened in Notting Hill and the business has since grown into an estate of 8 London sites; including Mayfair, Fitzrovia, St Jame’s, Little Venice, Chiswick, Hatton Garden and Spitalfields.
Ten is a growing wellness brand that is underpinned by a collection of expert, upbeat and people driven teams. These include Trainers, Physios, Massage Therapists and Exercise Physiologists. All providing a joined up and complementary mix of services that Ten calls its “Circle of Care”. More recently the business has built upon its reputation amongst surgeons, consultants and private hospitals to launch TenClinical – a specialised form of personal training for people living with life altering conditions such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes; a category of consumer that is often overlooked by the mainstream fitness industry.
The investment from Foresight will be used to support growth and roll out of the Ten brand to new locations across Central and Greater London.
Tamweel advised the shareholders, prepared the business for a fundraising process, introduced investors, negotiated terms and managed all aspects of the deal through to completion.
Joanne Mathews, Ten Founder, referring to Tamweel said: “Working with Tamweel, on our first ever raise, was absolutely the right decision. Ali, Ben and Adam provided insight, support and expert advice exactly, through the process – exactly when we needed it. They were level headed and great energy to work with which was important for us. Highly recommend them.”
David Turner, Foresight, commenting on the deal: “We’re excited by the opportunity to partner with Joanne and the wider team to support their growth ambitions. Ten has a unique proposition in the wellbeing and clinical fitness markets and this is an exciting time in their journey.”
Ali Aneizi, from Tamweel, added: “Jo and her team are a passionate and visionary bunch. They’re on a mission to build a business of scale; but also want to give something back. And with one foot planted in the world of fitness and the other in corrective, physio led and clinical exercise Ten is in a great position to do that.”

THE VISIT TO KING MENELAUS, WHO TELLS HIS STORY—MEANWHILE THE SUITORS IN ITHACA PLOT AGAINST TELEMACHUS.
they reached the low lying city of Lacedaemon, where they drove straight to the abode of Menelaus [and found him in his own house, feasting with his many clansmen in honour of the wedding of his son, and also of his daughter, whom he was marrying to the son of that valiant warrior Achilles. He had given his consent and promised her to him while he was still at Troy, and now the gods were bringing the marriage about; so he was sending her with chariots and horses to the city of the Myrmidons over whom Achilles' son was reigning. For his only son he had found a bride from Sparta, the daughter of Alector. This son, Megapenthes, was born to him of a bondwoman, for heaven vouchsafed Helen no more children after she had borne Hermione, who was fair as golden Venus herself.
So the neighbours and kinsmen of Menelaus were feasting and making merry in his house. There was a bard also to sing to them and play his lyre, while two tumblers went about performing in the midst of them when the man struck up with his tune.
Telemachus and the son of Nestor stayed their horses at the gate, whereon Eteoneus servant to Menelaus came out, and as soon as he saw them ran hurrying back into the house to tell his Master. He went close up to him and said, "Menelaus, there are some strangers come here, two men, who look like sons of Jove. What are we to do? Shall we take their horses out, or tell them to find friends elsewhere as they best can?"
Menelaus was very angry and said, "Eteoneus, son of Boethous, you never used to be a fool, but now you talk like a simpleton. Take their horses out, of course, and show the strangers in that they may have supper; you and I have staid often enough at other people's houses before we got back here, where heaven grant that we may rest in peace henceforward."
So Eteoneus bustled back and bade the other servants come with him. They took their sweating steeds from under the yoke, made them fast to the mangers, and gave them a feed of oats and barley mixed. Then they leaned the chariot against the end wall of the courtyard, and led the way into the house. Telemachus and Pisistratus were astonished when they saw it, for its splendour was as that of the sun and moon; then, when they had admired everything to their heart's content, they went into the bath room and washed themselves.
When the servants had washed them and anointed them with oil, they brought them woollen cloaks and shirts, and the two took their seats by the side of Menelaus. A maid-servant brought them water in a beautiful golden ewer, and poured it into a silver basin for them to wash their hands; and she drew a clean table beside them. An upper servant brought them bread, and offered them many good things of what there was in the house, while the carver fetched them plates of all manner of meats and set cups of gold by their side.
Menelaus then greeted them saying, "Fall to, and welcome; when you have done supper I shall ask who you are, for the lineage of such men as you cannot have been lost. You must be descended from a line of sceptre-bearing kings, for poor people do not have such sons as you are."
On this he handed them a piece of fat roast loin, which had been set near him as being a prime part, and they laid their hands on the good things that were before them; as soon as they had had enough to eat and drink, Telemachus said to the son of Nestor, with his head so close that no one might hear, "Look, Pisistratus, man after my own heart, see the gleam of bronze and gold—of amber, ivory, and silver. Everything is so splendid that it is like seeing the palace of Olympian Jove. I am lost in admiration."
Menelaus overheard him and said, "No one, my sons, can hold his own with Jove, for his house and everything about him is immortal; but among mortal men—well, there may be another who has as much wealth as I have, or there may not; but at all events I have travelled much and have undergone much hardship, for it was nearly eight years before I could get home with my fleet. I went to Cyprus, Phoenicia and the Egyptians; I went also to the Ethiopians, the Sidonians, and the Erembians, and to Libya where the lambs have horns as soon as they are born, and the sheep lamb down three times a year. Every one in that country, whether master or man, has plenty of cheese, meat, and good milk, for the ewes yield all the year round. But while I was travelling and getting great riches among these people, my brother was secretly and shockingly murdered through the perfidy of his wicked wife, so that I have no pleasure in being lord of all this wealth. Whoever your parents may be they must have told you about all this, and of my heavy loss in the ruin of a stately mansion fully and magnificently furnished. Would that I had only a third of what I now have so that I had stayed at home, and all those were living who perished on the plain of Troy, far from Argos. I often grieve, as I sit here in my house, for one and all of them. At times I cry aloud for sorrow, but presently I leave off again, for crying is cold comfort and one soon tires of it. Yet grieve for these as I may, I do so for one man more than for them all. I cannot even think of him without loathing both food and sleep, so miserable does he make me, for no one of all the Achaeans worked so hard or risked so much as he did. He took nothing by it, and has left a legacy of sorrow to myself, for he has been gone a long time, and we know not whether he is alive or dead. His old father, his long-suffering wife Penelope, and his son Telemachus, whom he left behind him an infant in arms, are plunged in grief on his account."
Thus spoke Menelaus, and the heart of Telemachus yearned as he bethought him of his father. Tears fell from his eyes as he heard him thus mentioned, so that he held his cloak before his face with both hands. When Menelaus saw this he doubted whether to let him choose his own time for speaking, or to ask him at once and find what it was all about.
While he was thus in two minds Helen came down from her high vaulted and perfumed room, looking as lovely as Diana herself. Adraste brought her a seat, Alcippe a soft woollen rug while Phylo fetched her the silver work-box which Alcandra wife of Polybus had given her. Polybus lived in Egyptian Thebes, which is the richest city in the whole world; he gave Menelaus two baths, both of pure silver, two tripods, and ten talents of gold; besides all this, his wife gave Helen some beautiful presents, to wit, a golden distaff, and a silver work box that ran on wheels, with a gold band round the top of it. Phylo now placed this by her side, full of fine spun yarn, and a distaff charged with violet coloured wool was laid upon the top of it. Then Helen took her seat, put her feet upon the footstool, and began to question her husband.
"Do we know, Menelaus," said she, "the names of these strangers who have come to visit us? Shall I guess right or wrong?—but I cannot help saying what I think. Never yet have I seen either man or woman so like somebody else (indeed when I look at him I hardly know what to think) as this young man is like Telemachus, whom Ulysses left as a baby behind him, when you Achaeans went to Troy with battle in your hearts, on account of my most shameless self."
"My dear wife," replied Menelaus, "I see the likeness just as you do. His hands and feet are just like Ulysses; so is his hair, with the shape of his head and the expression of his eyes. Moreover, when I was talking about Ulysses, and saying how much he had suffered on my account, tears fell from his eyes, and he hid his face in his mantle."
Then Pisistratus said, "Menelaus, son of Atreus, you are right in thinking that this young man is Telemachus, but he is very modest, and is ashamed to come here and begin opening up discourse with one whose conversation is so divinely interesting as your own. My father, Nestor, sent me to escort him hither, for he wanted to know whether you could give him any counsel or suggestion. A son has always trouble at home when his father has gone away leaving him without supporters; and this is how Telemachus is now placed, for his father is absent, and there is no one among his own people to stand by him."
"Bless my heart," replied Menelaus, "then I am receiving a visit from the son of a very dear friend, who suffered much hardship for my sake. I had always hoped to entertain him with most marked distinction when heaven had granted us a safe return from beyond the seas. I should have founded a city for him in Argos, and built him a house. I should have made him leave Ithaca with his goods, his son, and all his people, and should have sacked for them some one of the neighbouring cities that are subject to me. We should thus have seen one another continually, and nothing but death could have interrupted so close and happy an intercourse. I suppose, however, that heaven grudged us such great good fortune, for it has prevented the poor fellow from ever getting home at all."
Thus did he speak, and his words set them all a weeping. Helen wept, Telemachus wept, and so did Menelaus, nor could Pisistratus keep his eyes from filling, when he remembered his dear brother Antilochus whom the son of bright Dawn had killed. Thereon he said to Menelaus,
"Sir, my father Nestor, when we used to talk about you at home, told me you were a person of rare and excellent understanding. If, then, it be possible, do as I would urge you. I am not fond of crying while I am getting my supper. Morning will come in due course, and in the forenoon I care not how much I cry for those that are dead and gone. This is all we can do for the poor things. We can only shave our heads for them and wring the tears from our cheeks. I had a brother who died at Troy; he was by no means the worst man there; you are sure to have known him—his name was Antilochus; I never set eyes upon him myself, but they say that he was singularly fleet of foot and in fight valiant."
"Your discretion, my friend," answered Menelaus, "is beyond your years. It is plain you take after your father. One can soon see when a man is son to one whom heaven has blessed both as regards wife and offspring—and it has blessed Nestor from first to last all his days, giving him a green old age in his own house, with sons about him who are both well disposed and valiant. We will put an end therefore to all this weeping, and attend to our supper again. Let water be poured over our hands. Telemachus and I can talk with one another fully in the morning."
On this Asphalion, one of the servants, poured water over their hands and they laid their hands on the good things that were before them.
Then Jove's daughter Helen bethought her of another matter. She drugged the wine with an herb that banishes all care, sorrow, and ill humour. Whoever drinks wine thus drugged cannot shed a single tear all the rest of the day, not even though his father and mother both of them drop down dead, or he sees a brother or a son hewn in pieces before his very eyes. This drug, of such sovereign power and virtue, had been given to Helen by Polydamna wife of Thon, a woman of Egypt, where there grow all sorts of herbs, some good to put into the mixing bowl and others poisonous. Moreover, every one in the whole country is a skilled physician, for they are of the race of Paeeon. When Helen had put this drug in the bowl, and had told the servants to serve the wine round, she said:
"Menelaus, son of Atreus, and you my good friends, sons of honourable men (which is as Jove wills, for he is the giver both of good and evil, and can do what he chooses), feast here as you will, and listen while I tell you a tale in season. I cannot indeed name every single one of the exploits of Ulysses, but I can say what he did when he was before Troy, and you Achaeans were in all sorts of difficulties. He covered himself with wounds and bruises, dressed himself all in rags, and entered the enemy's city looking like a menial or a beggar, and quite different from what he did when he was among his own people. In this disguise he entered the city of Troy, and no one said anything to him. I alone recognised him and began to question him, but he was too cunning for me. When, however, I had washed and anointed him and had given him clothes, and after I had sworn a solemn oath not to betray him to the Trojans till he had got safely back to his own camp and to the ships, he told me all that the Achaeans meant to do. He killed many Trojans and got much information before he reached the Argive camp, for all which things the Trojan women made lamentation, but for my own part I was glad, for my heart was beginning to yearn after my home, and I was unhappy about the wrong that Venus had done me in taking me over there, away from my country, my girl, and my lawful wedded husband, who is indeed by no means deficient either in person or understanding."
Then Menelaus said, "All that you have been saying, my dear wife, is true. I have travelled much, and have had much to do with heroes, but I have never seen such another man as Ulysses. What endurance too, and what courage he displayed within the wooden horse, wherein all the bravest of the Argives were lying in wait to bring death and destruction upon the Trojans. At that moment you came up to us; some god who wished well to the Trojans must have set you on to it and you had Deiphobus with you. Three times did you go all round our hiding place and pat it; you called our chiefs each by his own name, and mimicked all our wives—Diomed, Ulysses, and I from our seats inside heard what a noise you made. Diomed and I could not make up our minds whether to spring out then and there, or to answer you from inside, but Ulysses held us all in check, so we sat quite still, all except Anticlus, who was beginning to answer you, when Ulysses clapped his two brawny hands over his mouth, and kept them there. It was this that saved us all, for he muzzled Anticlus till Minerva took you away again."
"How sad," exclaimed Telemachus, "that all this was of no avail to save him, nor yet his own iron courage. But now, sir, be pleased to send us all to bed, that we may lie down and enjoy the blessed boon of sleep."
On this Helen told the maid servants to set beds in the room that was in the gatehouse, and to make them with good red rugs, and spread coverlets on the top of them with woollen cloaks for the guests to wear. So the maids went out, carrying a torch, and made the beds, to which a man-servant presently conducted the strangers. Thus, then, did Telemachus and Pisistratus sleep there in the forecourt, while the son of Atreus lay in an inner room with lovely Helen by his side.
When the child of morning, rosy-fingered Dawn appeared, Menelaus rose and dressed himself. He bound his sandals on to his comely feet, girded his sword about his shoulders, and left his room looking like an immortal god. Then, taking a seat near Telemachus he said:
"And what, Telemachus, has led you to take this long sea voyage to Lacedaemon? Are you on public, or private business? Tell me all about it."
"I have come, sir," replied Telemachus, "to see if you can tell me anything about my father. I am being eaten out of house and home; my fair estate is being wasted, and my house is full of miscreants who keep killing great numbers of my sheep and oxen, on the pretence of paying their addresses to my mother. Therefore, I am suppliant at your knees if haply you may tell me about my father's melancholy end, whether you saw it with your own eyes, or heard it from some other traveller; for he was a man born to trouble. Do not soften things out of any pity for myself, but tell me in all plainness exactly what you saw. If my brave father Ulysses ever did you loyal service either by word or deed, when you Achaeans were harassed by the Trojans, bear it in mind now as in my favour and tell me truly all."
Menelaus on hearing this was very much shocked. "So," he exclaimed, "these cowards would usurp a brave man's bed? A hind might as well lay her new born young in the lair of a lion, and then go off to feed in the forest or in some grassy dell: the lion when he comes back to his lair will make short work with the pair of them—and so will Ulysses with these suitors. By father Jove, Minerva, and Apollo, if Ulysses is still the man that he was when he wrestled with Philomeleides in Lesbos, and threw him so heavily that all the Achaeans cheered him—if he is still such and were to come near these suitors, they would have a short shrift and a sorry wedding. As regards your questions, however, I will not prevaricate nor deceive you, but will tell you without concealment all that the old man of the sea told me.
"I was trying to come on here, but the gods detained me in Egypt, for my hecatombs had not given them full satisfaction, and the gods are very strict about having their dues. Now off Egypt, about as far as a ship can sail in a day with a good stiff breeze behind her, there is an island called Pharos—it has a good harbour from which vessels can get out into open sea when they have taken in water—and here the gods becalmed me twenty days without so much as a breath of fair wind to help me forward. We should have run clean out of provisions and my men would have starved, if a goddess had not taken pity upon me and saved me in the person of Idothea, daughter to Proteus, the old man of the sea, for she had taken a great fancy to me.
"She came to me one day when I was by myself, as I often was, for the men used to go with their barbed hooks, all over the island in the hope of catching a fish or two to save them from the pangs of hunger. 'Stranger,' said she, 'it seems to me that you like starving in this way—at any rate it does not greatly trouble you, for you stick here day after day, without even trying to get away though your men are dying by inches.'
"'Let me tell you,' said I, 'whichever of the goddesses you may happen to be, that I am not staying here of my own accord, but must have offended the gods that live in heaven. Tell me, therefore, for the gods know everything, which of the immortals it is that is hindering me in this way, and tell me also how I may sail the sea so as to reach my home.'
"'Stranger,' replied she, 'I will make it all quite clear to you. There is an old immortal who lives under the sea hereabouts and whose name is Proteus. He is an Egyptian, and people say he is my father; he is Neptune's head man and knows every inch of ground all over the bottom of the sea. If you can snare him and hold him tight, he will tell you about your voyage, what courses you are to take, and how you are to sail the sea so as to reach your home. He will also tell you, if you so will, all that has been going on at your house both good and bad, while you have been away on your long and dangerous journey.'
"'Can you show me,' said I, 'some stratagem by means of which I may catch this old god without his suspecting it and finding me out? For a god is not easily caught—not by a mortal man.'
"'Stranger,' said she, 'I will make it all quite clear to you. About the time when the sun shall have reached mid heaven, the old man of the sea comes up from under the waves, heralded by the West wind that furs the water over his head. As soon as he has come up he lies down, and goes to sleep in a great sea cave, where the seals—Halosydne's chickens as they call them—come up also from the grey sea, and go to sleep in shoals all round him; and a very strong and fish-like smell do they bring with them. Early to-morrow morning I will take you to this place and will lay you in ambush. Pick out, therefore, the three best men you have in your fleet, and I will tell you all the tricks that the old man will play you.
"'First he will look over all his seals, and count them; then, when he has seen them and tallied them on his five fingers, he will go to sleep among them, as a shepherd among his sheep. The moment you see that he is asleep seize him; put forth all your strength and hold him fast, for he will do his very utmost to get away from you. He will turn himself into every kind of creature that goes upon the earth, and will become also both fire and water; but you must hold him fast and grip him tighter and tighter, till he begins to talk to you and comes back to what he was when you saw him go to sleep; then you may slacken your hold and let him go; and you can ask him which of the gods it is that is angry with you, and what you must do to reach your home over the seas.'
"Having so said she dived under the waves, whereon I turned back to the place where my ships were ranged upon the shore; and my heart was clouded with care as I went along. When I reached my ship we got supper ready, for night was falling, and camped down upon the beach.
"When the child of morning rosy-fingered Dawn appeared, I took the three men on whose prowess of all kinds I could most rely, and went along by the sea-side, praying heartily to heaven. Meanwhile the goddess fetched me up four seal skins from the bottom of the sea, all of them just skinned, for she meant playing a trick upon her father. Then she dug four pits for us to lie in, and sat down to wait till we should come up. When we were close to her, she made us lie down in the pits one after the other, and threw a seal skin over each of us. Our ambuscade would have been intolerable, for the stench of the fishy seals was most distressing —who would go to bed with a sea monster if he could help it?—but here, too, the goddess helped us, and thought of something that gave us great relief, for she put some ambrosia under each man's nostrils, which was so fragrant that it killed the smell of the seals.
"We waited the whole morning and made the best of it, watching the seals come up in hundreds to bask upon the sea shore, till at noon the old man of the sea came up too, and when he had found his fat seals he went over them and counted them. We were among the first he counted, and he never suspected any guile, but laid himself down to sleep as soon as he had done counting. Then we rushed upon him with a shout and seized him; on which he began at once with his old tricks, and changed himself first into a lion with a great mane; then all of a sudden he became a dragon, a leopard, a wild boar; the next moment he was running water, and then again directly he was a tree, but we stuck to him and never lost hold, till at last the cunning old creature became distressed, and said, 'Which of the gods was it, Son of Atreus, that hatched this plot with you for snaring me and seizing me against my will? What do you want?'
"'You know that yourself, old man,' I answered, 'you will gain nothing by trying to put me off. It is because I have been kept so long in this island, and see no sign of my being able to get away. I am losing all heart; tell me, then, for you gods know everything, which of the immortals it is that is hindering me, and tell me also how I may sail the sea so as to reach my home?'
"Then,' he said, 'if you would finish your voyage and get home quickly, you must offer sacrifices to Jove and to the rest of the gods before embarking; for it is decreed that you shall not get back to your friends, and to your own house, till you have returned to the heaven-fed stream of Egypt, and offered holy hecatombs to the immortal gods that reign in heaven. When you have done this they will let you finish your voyage.'
"I was broken hearted when I heard that I must go back all that long and terrible voyage to Egypt; nevertheless, I answered, 'I will do all, old man, that you have laid upon me; but now tell me, and tell me true, whether all the Achaeans whom Nestor and I left behind us when we set sail from Troy have got home safely, or whether any one of them came to a bad end either on board his own ship or among his friends when the days of his fighting were done.'
"'Son of Atreus,' he answered, 'why ask me? You had better not know what I can tell you, for your eyes will surely fill when you have heard my story. Many of those about whom you ask are dead and gone, but many still remain, and only two of the chief men among the Achaeans perished during their return home. As for what happened on the field of battle—you were there yourself. A third Achaean leader is still at sea, alive, but hindered from returning. Ajax was wrecked, for Neptune drove him on to the great rocks of Gyrae; nevertheless, he let him get safe out of the water, and in spite of all Minerva's hatred he would have escaped death, if he had not ruined himself by boasting. He said the gods could not drown him even though they had tried to do so, and when Neptune heard this large talk, he seized his trident in his two brawny hands, and split the rock of Gyrae in two pieces. The base remained where it was, but the part on which Ajax was sitting fell headlong into the sea and carried Ajax with it; so he drank salt water and was drowned.
"'Your brother and his ships escaped, for Juno protected him, but when he was just about to reach the high promontory of Malea, he was caught by a heavy gale which carried him out to sea again sorely against his will, and drove him to the foreland where Thyestes used to dwell, but where Aegisthus was then living. By and by, however, it seemed as though he was to return safely after all, for the gods backed the wind into its old quarter and they reached home; whereon Agamemnon kissed his native soil, and shed tears of joy at finding himself in his own country.
"'Now there was a watchman whom Aegisthus kept always on the watch, and to whom he had promised two talents of gold. This man had been looking out for a whole year to make sure that Agamemnon did not give him the slip and prepare war; when, therefore, this man saw Agamemnon go by, he went and told Aegisthus, who at once began to lay a plot for him. He picked twenty of his bravest warriors and placed them in ambuscade on one side the cloister, while on the opposite side he prepared a banquet. Then he sent his chariots and horsemen to Agamemnon, and invited him to the feast, but he meant foul play. He got him there, all unsuspicious of the doom that was awaiting him, and killed him when the banquet was over as though he were butchering an ox in the shambles; not one of Agamemnon's followers was left alive, nor yet one of Aegisthus', but they were all killed there in the cloisters.'
"Thus spoke Proteus, and I was broken hearted as I heard him. I sat down upon the sands and wept; I felt as though I could no longer bear to live nor look upon the light of the sun. Presently, when I had had my fill of weeping and writhing upon the ground, the old man of the sea said, 'Son of Atreus, do not waste any more time in crying so bitterly; it can do no manner of good; find your way home as fast as ever you can, for Aegisthus may be still alive, and even though Orestes has been beforehand with you in killing him, you may yet come in for his funeral.'
"On this I took comfort in spite of all my sorrow, and said, 'I know, then, about these two; tell me, therefore, about the third man of whom you spoke; is he still alive, but at sea, and unable to get home? or is he dead? Tell me, no matter how much it may grieve me.'
"'The third man,' he answered, 'is Ulysses who dwells in Ithaca. I can see him in an island sorrowing bitterly in the house of the nymph Calypso, who is keeping him prisoner, and he cannot reach his home for he has no ships nor sailors to take him over the sea. As for your own end, Menelaus, you shall not die in Argos, but the gods will take you to the Elysian plain, which is at the ends of the world. There fair-haired Rhadamanthus reigns, and men lead an easier life than any where else in the world, for in Elysium there falls not rain, nor hail, nor snow, but Oceanus breathes ever with a West wind that sings softly from the sea, and gives fresh life to all men. This will happen to you because you have married Helen, and are Jove's son-in-law.'
"As he spoke he dived under the waves, whereon I turned back to the ships with my companions, and my heart was clouded with care as I went along. When we reached the ships we got supper ready, for night was falling, and camped down upon the beach. When the child of morning, rosy-fingered Dawn appeared, we drew our ships into the water, and put our masts and sails within them; then we went on board ourselves, took our seats on the benches, and smote the grey sea with our oars. I again stationed my ships in the heaven-fed stream of Egypt, and offered hecatombs that were full and sufficient. When I had thus appeased heaven's anger, I raised a barrow to the memory of Agamemnon that his name might live for ever, after which I had a quick passage home, for the gods sent me a fair wind.
"And now for yourself—stay here some ten or twelve days longer, and I will then speed you on your way. I will make you a noble present of a chariot and three horses. I will also give you a beautiful chalice that so long as you live you may think of me whenever you make a drink-offering to the immortal gods."
"Son of Atreus," replied Telemachus, "do not press me to stay longer; I should be contented to remain with you for another twelve months; I find your conversation so delightful that I should never once wish myself at home with my parents; but my crew whom I have left at Pylos are already impatient, and you are detaining me from them. As for any present you may be disposed to make me, I had rather that it should be a piece of plate. I will take no horses back with me to Ithaca, but will leave them to adorn your own stables, for you have much flat ground in your kingdom where lotus thrives, as also meadow-sweet and wheat and barley, and oats with their white and spreading ears; whereas in Ithaca we have neither open fields nor racecourses, and the country is more fit for goats than horses, and I like it the better for that. None of our islands have much level ground, suitable for horses, and Ithaca least of all."
Menelaus smiled and took Telemachus's hand within his own. "What you say," said he, "shows that you come of good family. I both can, and will, make this exchange for you, by giving you the finest and most precious piece of plate in all my house. It is a mixing bowl by Vulcan's own hand, of pure silver, except the rim, which is inlaid with gold. Phaedimus, king of the Sidonians, gave it me in the course of a visit which I paid him when I returned thither on my homeward journey. I will make you a present of it."
Thus did they converse [and guests kept coming to the king's house. They brought sheep and wine, while their wives had put up bread for them to take with them; so they were busy cooking their dinners in the courts].
Meanwhile the suitors were throwing discs or aiming with spears at a mark on the levelled ground in front of Ulysses' house, and were behaving with all their old insolence. Antinous and Eurymachus, who were their ringleaders and much the foremost among them all, were sitting together when Noemon son of Phronius came up and said to Antinous,
"Have we any idea, Antinous, on what day Telemachus returns from Pylos? He has a ship of mine, and I want it, to cross over to Elis: I have twelve brood mares there with yearling mule foals by their side not yet broken in, and I want to bring one of them over here and break him."
They were astounded when they heard this, for they had made sure that Telemachus had not gone to the city of Neleus. They thought he was only away somewhere on the farms, and was with the sheep, or with the swineherd; so Antinous said, "When did he go? Tell me truly, and what young men did he take with him? Were they freemen or his own bondsmen—for he might manage that too? Tell me also, did you let him have the ship of your own free will because he asked you, or did he take it without your leave?"
"I lent it him," answered Noemon, "what else could I do when a man of his position said he was in a difficulty, and asked me to oblige him? I could not possibly refuse. As for those who went with him they were the best young men we have, and I saw Mentor go on board as captain—or some god who was exactly like him. I cannot understand it, for I saw Mentor here myself yesterday morning, and yet he was then setting out for Pylos."
Noemon then went back to his father's house, but Antinous and Eurymachus were very angry. They told the others to leave off playing, and to come and sit down along with themselves. When they came, Antinous son of Eupeithes spoke in anger. His heart was black with rage, and his eyes flashed fire as he said:
"Good heavens, this voyage of Telemachus is a very serious matter; we had made sure that it would come to nothing, but the young fellow has got away in spite of us, and with a picked crew too. He will be giving us trouble presently; may Jove take him before he is full grown. Find me a ship, therefore, with a crew of twenty men, and I will lie in wait for him in the straits between Ithaca and Samos; he will then rue the day that he set out to try and get news of his father."
Thus did he speak, and the others applauded his saying; they then all of them went inside the buildings.
It was not long ere Penelope came to know what the suitors were plotting; for a man servant, Medon, overheard them from outside the outer court as they were laying their schemes within, and went to tell his mistress. As he crossed the threshold of her room Penelope said: "Medon, what have the suitors sent you here for? Is it to tell the maids to leave their master's business and cook dinner for them? I wish they may neither woo nor dine henceforward, neither here nor anywhere else, but let this be the very last time, for the waste you all make of my son's estate. Did not your fathers tell you when you were children, how good Ulysses had been to them—never doing anything high-handed, nor speaking harshly to anybody? Kings may say things sometimes, and they may take a fancy to one man and dislike another, but Ulysses never did an unjust thing by anybody—which shows what bad hearts you have, and that there is no such thing as gratitude left in this world."
Then Medon said, "I wish, Madam, that this were all; but they are plotting something much more dreadful now—may heaven frustrate their design. They are going to try and murder Telemachus as he is coming home from Pylos and Lacedaemon, where he has been to get news of his father."
Then Penelope's heart sank within her, and for a long time she was speechless; her eyes filled with tears, and she could find no utterance. At last, however, she said, "Why did my son leave me? What business had he to go sailing off in ships that make long voyages over the ocean like sea-horses? Does he want to die without leaving any one behind him to keep up his name?"
"I do not know," answered Medon, "whether some god set him on to it, or whether he went on his own impulse to see if he could find out if his father was dead, or alive and on his way home."
Then he went downstairs again, leaving Penelope in an agony of grief. There were plenty of seats in the house, but she had no heart for sitting on any one of them; she could only fling herself on the floor of her own room and cry; whereon all the maids in the house, both old and young, gathered round her and began to cry too, till at last in a transport of sorrow she exclaimed,
"My dears, heaven has been pleased to try me with more affliction than any other woman of my age and country. First I lost my brave and lion-hearted husband, who had every good quality under heaven, and whose name was great over all Hellas and middle Argos, and now my darling son is at the mercy of the winds and waves, without my having heard one word about his leaving home. You hussies, there was not one of you would so much as think of giving me a call out of my bed, though you all of you very well knew when he was starting. If I had known he meant taking this voyage, he would have had to give it up, no matter how much he was bent upon it, or leave me a corpse behind him—one or other. Now, however, go some of you and call old Dolius, who was given me by my father on my marriage, and who is my gardener. Bid him go at once and tell everything to Laertes, who may be able to hit on some plan for enlisting public sympathy on our side, as against those who are trying to exterminate his own race and that of Ulysses."
Then the dear old nurse Euryclea said, "You may kill me, Madam, or let me live on in your house, whichever you please, but I will tell you the real truth. I knew all about it, and gave him everything he wanted in the way of bread and wine, but he made me take my solemn oath that I would not tell you anything for some ten or twelve days, unless you asked or happened to hear of his having gone, for he did not want you to spoil your beauty by crying. And now, Madam, wash your face, change your dress, and go upstairs with your maids to offer prayers to Minerva, daughter of Aegis-bearing Jove, for she can save him even though he be in the jaws of death. Do not trouble Laertes: he has trouble enough already. Besides, I cannot think that the gods hate the race of the son of Arceisius so much, but there will be a son left to come up after him, and inherit both the house and the fair fields that lie far all round it."
With these words she made her mistress leave off crying, and dried the tears from her eyes. Penelope washed her face, changed her dress, and went upstairs with her maids. She then put some bruised barley into a basket and began praying to Minerva.
"Hear me," she cried, "Daughter of Aegis-bearing Jove, unweariable. If ever Ulysses while he was here burned you fat thigh bones of sheep or heifer, bear it in mind now as in my favour, and save my darling son from the villainy of the suitors."
She cried aloud as she spoke, and the goddess heard her prayer; meanwhile the suitors were clamorous throughout the covered cloister, and one of them said:
"The queen is preparing for her marriage with one or other of us. Little does she dream that her son has now been doomed to die."
This was what they said, but they did not know what was going to happen. Then Antinous said, "Comrades, let there be no loud talking, lest some of it get carried inside. Let us be up and do that in silence, about which we are all of a mind."
He then chose twenty men, and they went down to their ship and to the sea side; they drew the vessel into the water and got her mast and sails inside her; they bound the oars to the thole-pins with twisted thongs of leather, all in due course, and spread the white sails aloft, while their fine servants brought them their armour. Then they made the ship fast a little way out, came on shore again, got their suppers, and waited till night should fall.
But Penelope lay in her own room upstairs unable to eat or drink, and wondering whether her brave son would escape, or be overpowered by the wicked suitors. Like a lioness caught in the toils with huntsmen hemming her in on every side she thought and thought till she sank into a slumber, and lay on her bed bereft of thought and motion.
Then Minerva bethought her of another matter, and made a vision in the likeness of Penelope's sister Iphthime daughter of Icarius who had married Eumelus and lived in Pherae. She told the vision to go to the house of Ulysses, and to make Penelope leave off crying, so it came into her room by the hole through which the thong went for pulling the door to, and hovered over her head saying,
"You are asleep, Penelope: the gods who live at ease will not suffer you to weep and be so sad. Your son has done them no wrong, so he will yet come back to you."
Penelope, who was sleeping sweetly at the gates of dreamland, answered, "Sister, why have you come here? You do not come very often, but I suppose that is because you live such a long way off. Am I, then, to leave off crying and refrain from all the sad thoughts that torture me? I, who have lost my brave and lion-hearted husband, who had every good quality under heaven, and whose name was great over all Hellas and middle Argos; and now my darling son has gone off on board of a ship—a foolish fellow who has never been used to roughing it, nor to going about among gatherings of men. I am even more anxious about him than about my husband; I am all in a tremble when I think of him, lest something should happen to him, either from the people among whom he has gone, or by sea, for he has many enemies who are plotting against him, and are bent on killing him before he can return home."
Then the vision said, "Take heart, and be not so much dismayed. There is one gone with him whom many a man would be glad enough to have stand by his side, I mean Minerva; it is she who has compassion upon you, and who has sent me to bear you this message."
"Then," said Penelope, "if you are a god or have been sent here by divine commission, tell me also about that other unhappy one—is he still alive, or is he already dead and in the house of Hades?"
And the vision said, "I shall not tell you for certain whether he is alive or dead, and there is no use in idle conversation."
Then it vanished through the thong-hole of the door and was dissipated into thin air; but Penelope rose from her sleep refreshed and comforted, so vivid had been her dream.
Meantime the suitors went on board and sailed their ways over the sea, intent on murdering Telemachus. Now there is a rocky islet called Asteris, of no great size, in mid channel between Ithaca and Samos, and there is a harbour on either side of it where a ship can lie. Here then the Achaeans placed themselves in ambush.

Eight Young Drivers Invited to Compete for Spots in NASCAR Drive for Diversity Youth Driver Development Program
NASCAR, Rev Racing to Evaluate Diverse and Female Drivers Ages 12-16 for 2019 Class
Concord, NC. (March 20, 2019) Eight drivers from across the United States have been invited to try out for the NASCAR Drive for Diversity Youth Driver Development Program during a two-day combine event Mar 23-34.
The NASCAR Drive for Diversity Youth Driver Development Program, managed by Rev Racing, promotes and trains ethnically diverse and female drivers ages 12-16 to compete in INEX Legend Cars.
The combine, which will determine the 2019 youth driver lineup for Rev Racing, will include an on-track evaluation at GoPro Motorplex located in Mooresville, N.C. Selected drivers will become year-long members of the NASCAR Drive for Diversity team and compete in the Bojangles’ Summer Shootout at Charlotte Motor Speedway, among other events, with Rev Racing.
“We are very enthused with the level of talent that we are seeing in our youth applicants,” said Max Siegel, owner of Rev Racing. “The talent pool continues to grow and connecting with these rising stars as early as possible is key. If we have the ability to engage drivers and their families early in their careers, we can prepare, train, and nurture their talents through every step of our program and beyond.”
In addition to the youth program, Rev Racing manages the NASCAR Drive for Diversity Driver Development Program, which offers racing opportunities in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and NASCAR Whelen All-American Series. The program provides selected drivers with equipment, mentoring, and competition experience. The mission of the NASCAR Drive for Diversity Program is to provide top diverse talent with a path for development through the ladder system, with the goal of being identified as a prospect by NASCAR’s national series teams, sponsors and manufacturers.
“We are pleased to welcome a talented group of young, diverse drivers to our first NASCAR Drive for Diversity Youth Driver Combine under the new program vision,” said Jusan Hamilton, NASCAR director of racing operations and event management. “We look forward to seeing members of this group rise up the ranks within Rev Racing and one day showcase their talent at the NASCAR touring series level.”
This year’s participants include a wide variety of driver backgrounds and competitive experiences. Isabella Robusto will have an opportunity to secure a third year with the program. In 2018, the Fort Mill, S.C. native finished third in the Young Lions Division at the Bojangles’ Summer Shootout and won the Battle at the Big Top race at Texas Motor Speedway, which was a U.S. Legends National Qualifier.
The invitees also include 15-year-old Lavar Scott from Carneys Point, N.J., who finished third in points at Airport Speedway in the 600cc Micro Sprint located in New Castle, Delaware and Rajah Caruth, a 16-year-old from Washington, D.C. who in just nine months earned more than 20 iRacing wins and 157 top 5s in 359 starts.

Vintage Ohio Scientific Computers
This machine was near-and-dear to me as it was my first real computer, an Ohio Scientific Superboard II. In 1979 I got my machine, a 6502-based single-board computer with a whopping 8K of RAM and BASIC in ROM. The board was completely self-contained, requiring only a 5V, 3A power supply to run (I built my own using a 78H05 regulator).
History of OSI Systems
Ohio Scientific (OSI) started business in 1975 and through the late 1970’s and early 1980’s produced a series of 6502-based machines called the “Challenger” series.
Like contemporaries (including the Apple and the Commodore machines), OSI systems used the low-cost 6502 processor. Created as a low-cost response to Motorola’s 6800 processor, and commercially available (in production quantities) in 1976, the 6502 could use all readily-available and inexpensive 6800 peripheral chips (as OSI did to save cost). The 6502 achieved low costs through a number of design features including the fabrication in NMOS technology and use of “zero-page” memory which allowed reduction of the number of on-chip registers to six. The 6502, in a design reminiscent of the PDP-8 processor, allows fast access to the first 256 bytes of RAM from most instructions (making the 6502 almost RISC-like). The next 256 bytes (0x100 through 0x1FF) are prewired as the stack. All 6502 systems, therefore, require at least 512 bytes of RAM located in the lowest memory page and unlike the contemporary Z-80 processor, programs cannot simply be located at address zero (the 6502 actually fetches a vector for the start program from the highest two bytes – a ROM must be located there).
The earliest catalog I could locate was the spring 1978 issue. That year, OSI offered several models based on a single-board CPU, the model 500 card. This card featured 8K BASIC-in-ROM, 4K of RAM on board, and a serial port interface. In the most basic offering, the C2-0 Model 500 Board ($298), the user was required to add a power supply and a serial terminal for a basic stand-alone system. The C-28K 500 Superkit ($398) consisted of the basic model 500 CPU board, again with 4K RAM and 8K BASIC-in-ROM, along with a 480 8-slot backplane and 440 video board (with 32 by 32 character display) allowing use with a video monitor instead of a terminal. It was an unpackaged, “open” system in which the user added a power supply and an external ASCII parallel keyboard for a complete system. Finally the C2-1 500-1 Terminal Add-On ($498) version was basically a simple model 500 CPU board in a case with power supply and standard EIA (RS-232) connectors intended as a “local” computer to run short programs locally.
FYI: the prices quoted are in US dollars from US catalogs. In 1980, the exchange rate for Canadian dollars was less than favourable at about 1.17 so later figures quoted, in Canadian dollars, will always seem higher.
As well as the systems based on a standalone CPU board, OSI offered more complete cassette-based Challenger-II systems. These early machines were housed in blue and black cases (unlike later machines housed in beige ad brown cases).
Offerings from the Spring 1978 catalog included:
C2-8S Challenger II ($545)
A CPU board with 8K BASIC-in-ROM, 4K RAM, and a serial port in a large cabinet with power supply and an 8-slot backplane.
C2-4P Challenger IIP ($598)
A complete system with a CPU with 4K RAM (a model 502 card), video board (the enhanced 540 board with a 32 by 64 character display) and cassette interface. Housed with a power supply and a 4-slot backplane (two slots occupied in the original unit) in a small case with integral keyboard on top of which the monitor usually sat. This is the Challenger 2 – 4P system outlined on this page.
C2-8P Challenger II ($825)
Same as the above but with an 8-slot backplane (two slots occupied) and housed in a larger case allowing more expansion than the 4P system. Had a separate keyboard attached via ribbon cable. This is the Challenger 2 – 8P system housed in the large blue-and-black box outlined on this page.
The Challenger-II was also offered with various floppy drive options. All floppy-based systems were housed in two larger black-and-blue cases, one for the CPU with an 8-slot backplane and separate keyboard and a second case for the floppy drive(s) which had white fronts. Configurations included: A 16K RAM system with a single 8-inch drive (250K) and a serial port (C2-S1S) for $1990, A similar system except with a video card (C2-S1V) listed for $2490, and a 32K RAM system with a dual floppy drive (C2-S2S) for $3090. Note that many systems utilized serial terminals for user interface in the same manner as contemporary mainframe machines did … many larger OSI systems were indeed designed to use terminals (the front of the 1978 catalog shows a Challenger II system with two eight inch floppy drives and a Hazeltine 1500 terminal in an office setting).
Finally, the Challenger-III system was also available in 1978 with a triple-CPU board (6502, 6800, and Z80) and a dual floppy drive for $3590. Options for the Challenger-III system included a 74 Megabyte hard drive for $6000 (drive only) – a hard drive was an almost unheard-of option in 1978 and something always associated with a large mainframe computer, not a “personal” machine. Having a Z80 processor, this system could run CP/M!
By 1979, OSI offered three types of systems including the new low-cost Challenger I, as well as Challenger II and III systems.
The new Challenger-I systems for 1979:
Superboard II ($279)
Also called a model 600 board, and new for 1979, this was a complete entry-level system entirely on a single board with keyboard, 8K BASIC-in-ROM, video (24 by 24 characters displayed), and 4K RAM (expandable to 8K). The user needed to supply a 5V/3A power supply and a video monitor for a complete system which includes cassette interface on board.
C1P 4K ($349)
A packaged version of the superboard (with 4K RAM) in a metal case with power supply.
C1P MF ($1259)
The same as above but coupled with a 610 expansion board (with 12K RAM on the 610 board plus the 8K on the superboard for a system total of 20K), floppy controller (part of the 610 board), and a mini-floppy (5.25″) drive in a second box connected via ribbon cable. Shipped with OS-65D 3.0 Operating system.
Updated Challenger-II systems for 1979:
C2-4P ($599)
A cassette-based system housed in a small case with integral keyboard (usually with the monitor on top) and 4-slot backplane. Had 4K of memory and BASIC-in-ROM on the 502 CPU card and a video card leaving two slots free.
C2-4P MF ($1533)
A mini-floppy version of the above again with a 4-slot backplane. Uses a model 505 CPU with integral floppy controller and hence had a separate RAM card with 20K of system RAM (as well as the usual video card). This system did not have BASIC-in-ROM on the CPU card (it was run from disk).
Similar to the C2-4P, a cassette-based system housed in a larger case with separate keyboard and 8-slot backplane allowing more expansion. Had 4K of memory on the CPU card and a video card.
C2-8P DF ($2597)
A dual eight-inch floppy system consisting of two boxes: a CPU box as above (but with 32K of RAM) and a separate box housing two eight-inch floppy drives.
As well as these systems, listed in the spring 1979 catalog, OSI also offered several Challenger-III systems with up to 48K RAM and several odd versions of the “regular” Challenger lines above including an inexpensive C1P system with a single-sided mini-floppy and 12K of RAM (running P-DOS for “Pico-DOS” since 12K is not enough RAM to run OS-65D) and a C2-4P MF system with colour video, sound, and AC remote control I/O from the factory.
In 1980 OSI changed both the look of their machines, adopting a beige-and-brown colour scheme and renamed their product line from the “C2-4P” to the “C4P” and “C2-8P” to “C8P”: none of their computers carried the “Challenger-II” designation anymore (which, of course, created a great deal of confusion amongst owners). The C1P and C4P models had beige metal cases with oiled walnut wood sides.
Offerings were similar to those in the 1979 catalog including the Superboard, Challenger C1P and C1P MF models, Challenger C4P and C4P MF models, and Challenger C8P and C8P DF models. Some models featured more RAM from the factory including the C4P and C8P with 8K, and the C4P MF with 24K. The basic C1P MF model was still shipped with 12K RAM – expansion to 20K on the 610 board allowed use of the newest OS-65D version 3.1.
This chart showing the OSI product line was taken from the 1980 catalog. It offers insight into systems available at the time and basic features of all available systems.
Not mentioned in their catalogs, but apparently available, were special “OEM” version with deep cases holding both eight-inch floppy drives as well as an 8-slot backplane in the rear.
There are two types of OSI systems on this page, the Superboard/Challenger 1P machine covered below and 500-series (Challenger 2) hardware, which used the OSI 48-line bus, covered further down on the page.
If you are into the history of OSI, or other late 1970 / early 1980 systems, you might enjoy some of the podcasts at Floppy Days. The OSI was featured on episode 27 with some commentary provided by myself.
Floppy-based systems usually ran the OS65D system, for most applications, or OS65U for more demanding applications (it featured extensions for timesharing 16 terminals as well as extensions for database management). Both systems were centered around BASIC although an assembler and extended monitor were included allowing the writing of machine-code programs for the system. When the system is booted the kernel loads and immediately runs a BASIC program named ‘BEXEC*’ on the floppy disk. Usually, the user is either presented with a menu from which the user selects an operation or for development purposes the user may select to run BASIC and is presented with a BASIC prompt. Typing EXIT in BASIC brings the user to the actual O/S command interpreter, usually with a familiar “A” prompt. From the command interpreter the user could execute simple disk operations as well as run BASIC, and assembler, or an extended monitor (and possibly other languages).
Oddly, most utility program included with OS-65D were written in BASIC. Utilities included:
CREATE a utility which creates a new named file, required before one could simply use it to save a BASIC program (i.e. you CREATEd the empty file first then could save your program or data into it). Without using CREATE first, the user could not use filenames, only access files by track number.
DELETE used to delete a named file from the disk
DIR yes, even a simple directory listing required the execution of a program which does this.
The ‘native’ O/S appears to be entirely track-driven: an application could save or load a program or data from the disk via track number however the creation of a directory and access to files by name requires the use of utility programs. Built-in functions in the O/S include the ability to invoke the BASIC interpreter, assembler, or extended monitor; initialize (format) a disk, load and save files from/to memory, and select an active drive letter.
If this all looks primitive, remember that OS-65D was created in 1976 and PC-DOS would not appear until quite some time down the road. Original PC’s came with BASIC-in-ROM and a cassette port as well … floppy disks were still expensive in the early 80’s and it was not intended that all machines would have drives.
OSI Hardware
Below is a listing of various OSI cards allowing identification of these should you come across them. It was compiled from various OSI literature. Included are photos of the boards in my collection and schematics for a few select boards.
CPU Boards:
500 C2P CPU Board (6502)
The 500 board could be used as a complete ‘stand-alone’ board featuring 8K BASIC in ROM and 4K of RAM on board or as the CPU board in a larger system. All that was required for stand-alone was an ASCII RS-232 terminal as well as a power supply. It was also available as a ‘SuperKit’ with this 500 board, a 440 video board, and an 8-slot backplane for these and more cards. For the SuperKit, ROMs were configured to use video and a user-supplied ASCII parallel keyboard instead of the RS-232 terminal (the RS-232 option was not installed on the 500 board for this version).
502 CPU Board
TOP VIEW of the 502 CPU Board from a C2P
An updated 500 CPU, this board has similar features to the 500 however features 8K of 2114 RAM on-board. The board includes BASIC and MONitor ROMs for cassette-based configurations.
TOP VIEW of the 505 CPU Board
SIDE VIEW of the 505 CPU Board
This CPU was used on 8P and possibly 4P systems – it features an on-board floppy controller, serial port for a console, and a single ROM socket (and so was always used with a floppy disk system). The board is part of a 3-board set (including a video card and a memory card) to make a complete system. The video card could be omitted if an RS-232 terminal were used for I/O but a memory card is certainly required since the 505 has no provisions for RAM.

Note that although the circuitry appears to be identical to my 505 board the component placement (see Page 6) is completely different than my photograph reveals. Apparently there were different revisions of this board.

This board could also be wired for 12-bit wide RAM , presumably to accomodate the Harris 6100 PDP-8 CPU when the 460Z CPU expander was used (the PDP-8 being one of the most popular CPUs at the time. Running the 6100 would ensure the availability of a huge range of software).

Backplane Boards

495 Prototyping card
I have scanned a listing of all cards available for the OSI 48 line bus. These cards were designed for use with 500 series systems like the above) but could also be used with a 600 board with a 610 expander installed.
Have a look at the specs and pricing for an OSI system as seen in Popular Electronics in 1978. Shown are various configurations as well as many I/O boards available for the OSI.
I must conclude with thanks to a few people who have “donated to the cause” including Greg Swick, a colleague of mine, who gave me a 600 board and a bunch of 500 boards. This rekindled my love for these old OSI machines in the first place. Scott Gregory, a buddy of mine who gave me the blue Challenger II seen on this page. Richard Parsons who sent me a number of interesting boards, O/S disks, and documents related to the OSI 500 and 600 series of computers. There’s a wealth of information in the Aardvark and TOSIE journals I received including information of connecting disk drives. John Walker, who sent me a 600 and 610 board as well as some excellent docs (including a Sam’s Photofact servicing manual) on the system. John Horemans for sending 600/610 circuit data. Jerry Travis who sent me a 600 and 610 board as well as two MPI drives. Russell Cooper from Australia who sent me a 600 and 610 board and some nice docs on OS-65D. Charlie Wainwright from Halifax who gave me the beautifully preserved Challenger 8P unit and docs (we picked-up the unit while on a family trip out East in 2006). Dan Batholic from MN who gave me a C2-OEM and a load of docs. This interesting machine has two 8″ drives and was designed to run from a serial port (it has no video card installed) like a C3. Doug Pelletier from MI who gave me a C2-4P unit (a small black and blue unit with integral keyboard) with original docs. Tom MacDonald, a colleague, who got me the Challenger 3 system.
… and a number of other people I’ve had e-mail contact with who have sent me scans of various documents on OSI boards.

Ivanovic Says ‘F**** You,’ Clijsters Favored Next Week at WTA Montreal
by Jeremy Davis | August 14th, 2010, 4:38 pm
Next week the women move on to Montreal and the Rogers Cup presented by National Bank. Seven of the Top 10 are in attendance, but the bigger story is who is not: world No. 1 Serena Williams (foot injury), Venus Williams (ankle), former No. 1 Justine Henin (elbow), Sam Stosur (arm), and former No. 1 Ana Ivanovic who sent a big ‘f**** you’ message to Montreal Tournament Director Eugene Lapierre.
ADHEREL
About a month ago Lapierre refused Ivanovic a wildcard, referring to her poor play and telling the media that her coach would be better off having her play the qualies(!), while he’d be better off giving his wildcards to ‘deserving’ Canadian players (oxymoron?).
The moron elaborated, “Yes, she’s a player who has done a lot for our tournament — almost saved it one year. She has a lot of charisma. Everyone likes her. But the fact is that she hasn’t demonstrated that she deserves a wildcard. It’s not the same as a player who has been injured and away for a while…She is the one who dropped down to No. 65, not because of an injury.”
Ow.
After Ivanovic’s eventual semifinal run in Cincinnati this week combined with Lapierre’s Montreal seeded players dropping out left and right, he told the media in essence he was (essentially) thinking about graciously ‘throwing Ivanovic a bone.’
“There’s still a chance,” Lapierre said on Tuesday about Ivanovic possibly getting a wildcard, “Especially now that she’s showing us she still plays like a Top 10. We’re looking at it and there should be developments soon.”
Ooh, was Ana on the edge of her seat? Could Lapierre be more self-important?
The development was that Montreal’s star power suddenly began to dip with all the pull-outs, and Lapierre came back to Ivanovic with the wildcard offer — which she promptly told him, in so many words, to stick up his ass.
“I would have loved to have played in Montreal, but I was quite hurt by the comments of Mr. Lapierre that I was shown in the Montreal Gazette recently,” Ivanovic said on her website. “I don’t think his comments were necessary, and they contradicted everything he had told my management previously: that I was not getting a wildcard because I am not Canadian.”
Not Canadian, and not good enough. So long story long, no Ivanovic in Montreal either. That’s four former No. 1s missing the tournament due to injury or anger issues.
The 16 players seeded in Montreal are Jelena Jankovic, Caroline Wozniacki, Elena Dementieva, Kim Clijsters, Francesca Schiavone, Aggie Radwanska, Vera Zvonarva, Na Li, Victoria Azarenka, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Maria Sharapova, Yanina Wickmayer, Shahar Peer, Flavia Pennetta, Aravane Rezai and Marion Bartoli. Floaters to watch for in the field are Nadia Petrova, Melanie Oudin (I know, but she’s the only American in the field! Sad.), Kaia Kanepi, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Petra Kvitova, Dinara Safina, Lucie Safarova, and Daniela Hantuchova.
If Oudin gets by a qualifier in her opener she will meet No. 5 Clijsters in the second round. No. 17 Bartoli and Petrova are looking at a second-round meeting. The No. 14 Peer should be tested in her opener against Kanepi, and No. 11 Kuznetsova will have her hands full from the get-go against fellow Russian Pavlyuchenkova. No. 16 Rezai starts against the rising Czech Kvitova, No. 12 Sharapova opens against Safarova with the winner to potentially meet Safina, and No. 15 Pennetta starts against Hantuchova. Not a lot of easy openers.
For my quarterfinal picks I’ll put Jankovic vs. Azarenka, Clijsters vs. Zvonareva, Kuznetsova vs. Dementieva, and Sharapova vs. Kleybanova. That means seeded favorites Li, Radwanska, Schiavone, Wozniacki and Pennetta get sidelined early. Semis = Clijsters vs. Azarenka, Dementieva vs. Sharapova. Final = Clijsters d. Sharapova. Sharapova and Clijsters will derail this if they’re not fit after their long runs this week in Cincinnati.
Dementieva is the defending champ, winning the all-Russian final against Sharapova in 2009.

11 Comments for Ivanovic Says ‘F**** You,’ Clijsters Favored Next Week at WTA Montreal
poor ana. it’s a curse of the ana’s (anna’s). like kournikova, she’s a hottie, and despite some great achievements has inexplicably spiraled downward.
Very disappointing to hear this; I did not know, and I think given her past success, she should’ve been offered a wild card. Sometimes tournament directors shoot themselves in the foot. This must be a case of that. Mind you, Ivanovic retired today, in the Cincy semifinal against Clijsters, with an ankle injury that apparently had her in tears, and thus, ironically, she may not’ve been able to play in Canada even with the wild card! Still, I think she deserved one. A former number 1 and big draw trumps patriotic favoritism in my books!
firstly, ivanovic doesn’t have charisma, she has beauty, which is a different thing. jankovic has charisma, but not so much beauty. which is probably why they hate eachother.
this director should be applauded for trying to give some credibility to the wta. making it about tennis ability as opposed to catering to the lowest common denominator.
the whole ‘glamour girl’ culture perpetuated by the wta tour is pathetic.
im gonna disagree- hot chicks should get wild cards and if as a tournament director you dont agree you are screwed. give your wild cards to canadian girls who are one and done? good luck. dumb.
I was saying nothing about looks; I think she should’ve got the wild card based on the fact that she’s won a slam and is a former number 1. No doubt she’s been in a brutal slump but she’s been slowly coming back, as her run to the semis in Cincy attests. So i was going on past success, not glamour.
jeanius Says:
We got the message for your headline, but it’s not appropriate for a tennis newsletter. And since those were not her exact words, it shouldn’t be in quotes. Also, she is the last person that I would expect to say that in public; it doesn’t fit with her style, which is very genteel. Next time, convey your meaning in a more authentic way, please.
Interesting that ,after putting down Ivanovic’s game and saying she was undeserving of the wild card and that, even tho she was a popular player, he didn’t need her because he had enough top draws, now he looks ridiculous, grovelling to give her a bye because Venus pulled out along with several others. This man needs to learn a bit about tact and diplomacy, especially in his position as director. Without top draws, there will be few spectators and fewer sponsors.
Siddy Says:
Ivanovic did get injured, but her injuries were numerous instead of a major one. Her thumb injury started the downward spiral. The tournament director is ill-informed.
I think Lapierre is a fool! Being in charge went to his head. Does he not understand what a drawing card certain players would be? He just turned more people against Canada. I would travel far to watch Ivanovic! He had no right to cricize any player’s performance.
Pierre Says:
Mr Lapierre made a very big mistake, he owe an apology to Ana or else Montreal will be few years without a major….( or top 10’s ) .like the GP but for differents reasons……
Tajik Says:
Wondering what this article (and the comments) would look like if Serena or Venus had done this.
Quite different, I imagine.
How the heck is a player ranked in the 50’s (not b/c of absence from the tour) making any demands to tournament directors? Is she kidding?
R.I.P. Ana’s Career
Jankovic is the goods. Now that’s a real athlete.

Floods, Landslide Kill 21
At least 21 people have been killed in floods and a landslide triggered by heavy rains across the country, an official said on Sunday.
A landslide on Buru island in eastern Maluku province occurred on Friday after heavy rains in a hilly area, Disaster Management Agency spokesman Priyadi Kardono said.
“We’ve pulled out 18 bodies from the landslide and rescued seven others who were injured,” he said.
Elsewhere, three people drowned and three went missing after days of continuous rain in South Kalimantan province caused a river there to overflow, he added.
More than 3,000 families were affected by the floods, local media reported.

I want to preface this letter by stating that no tourist will ever want to step foot in your country wherein mother’s throw their babies to the side of the roads to rot in swaddling clothes and judges take orders from the executive branch concerning bail of a defendant abdicating their role as a jurist in the legislative branch. Because Nnamdi Kanu case is such a high profile case internationally, you have tarnished Nigeria reputation on the World stage by your antics. I have seen ships guided better in a storm than the 3 ring circus mishandling of the Nnamdi Kanu case. You receive aid from my government so I can give you my two cents worth (sense).
I raise these issues now because Nnamdi Kanu and his co defendants David Nwawusi and Benjamin Madubugwu case is scheduled for September 26 2016 which the World anticipates you intend to postpone again as further delay tactics. The World can deduct that you intend to hold these men indefinitely for fear of scrutiny of your legal decisions. You have lost confidence and no longer belong on bench if preoccupied wringing your hands. Nnamdi Kanu and these defendants have been detained without bail, no trial for nearly a year which is contrary to Nigerian laws. You are engaging in what is called as abuse of discretion. You issued conflicting opinions concerning witnesses reflecting either directed incompetence or something else at play. In February veiled identities was forbidden; in March mandated. In fact, I would go further to state that you have engaged in the practice of corruption accepted a bribe, sweetheart deal enriching your purse strings or in the alternative you are so intimidated by the executive branch of government, President Buhari. If you yourself have accepted a bribe in your role as a jurist, then how can your judicial system expect to try over, judge misappropriation of funds cases? . This is a case of the Foxes guarding the Henhouses.
If you are intimidated, fearful of retaliation by the executive branch for your role as trier of fact and dispenser of punishment, then you have no business being on the bench administering justice. The reason being is this shows that your decision is based on other issues outside of the facts and that you are incapable of a fair, impartial trial. In which you have no business on this high profile case. I am reading that corruption cases are placed on fast track. Ironically, your courts provide your partners in crime with facilitation of their legal proceedings in a timely fashion; however, one that has not engaged in such atrocities you suspend in time indefinitely.
Let me enlighten you on what the World sees concerning your courts and federal government. Through the looking glass and your laws.
• It is not a treasonous crime to possess passports from two different countries maintaining dual citizenship
• Protesters are not to be gunned down, right to assembly
• No prosecution of crimes committed against protesters, lawless land
• In particular criminal law proceedings are to be accelerated as an individual’s life is hanging in the balance. This not only affects the defendant but their entire family.
• The way to reparations in the court of public opinion the World’s eyes that sees Nigeria as fantastically corrupt, begins with the judicial system.
• Economic reform begins when the World can begin to trust Nigeria – investors, businesses have fled with no expectation of return in the marginally near future
• The World is not sympathetic to Nigeria trials and tribulations due to corrupt tactics
• Nnamdi Kanu trial peppered with endless continuances, concealed identities of accusers, denial of bail, revocation of release new charges trumped
• Denial of Right to speedy trial
Nnamdi Kanu is a refined man, educated in London and behaves in a highly civilized, diplomatic manner as opposed to jurists, officers of the court and the federal government there. David Nwawusi and Benjamin Madubugwu, the co defendants also deserve to be treated with dignity even though they may not be as educated or well known as Nnamdi Kanu. Nnamdi was released by court order in December bail accepted. Baiting and switching court order stating he would be released to the public, world only sleight of hand antic, the court’s playful trick, prank in which the World is not amused. This ruined the credibility of your legal system illustrating that corruption begins at the top. If the judiciary engages in parlor tricks which further erodes confidence in your country. It is laughable now to see that the Nigerian courts intend to prosecute corruption when in fact they are no strangers to swindling and fleecing the flock.
Let me refresh your memory of your laws. Academia.edu RIGHTS OF AN ACCUSED PERSON UNDER THE NIGERIAN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM states:
ii. Right to be informed of the Facts and Ground of Arrest.
Section 35(3) “Any person who is arrested or detained shall be informed in writing within twenty four hours (and in language that he understands) of the fact and ground for his arrest or detention” This means that a person is prima facie entitled to his freedom, and is only required to submit it if he knows in substance, the reason for his arrest.
Since the Constitution stipulates 24 hours, it can be safely said that any time after this would be unlawful. One of the practical considerations for this right is that it gives the accused an opportunity to explain any misunderstanding or call attention to other persons for whom he might have been mistaken, saving him from the consequence of false accusation and at the same time helping the police in their investigation
APPLICABILITY TO THE NNAMDI KANU TRIAL:
We have witnessed that you possess no legal grounds against these men which explains the silence about their arrest initially. It is not unlawful to possess dual citizenship, in fact, that was not brought up initially but “charged” later on in the matter grasping at straws. It is not a crime to have dissenting opinion of that of your government in a democracy. Independent thought is encouraged and individuals are entitled to assemble and protest.
iii. Right to be brought before a court within a reasonable time
Section 35(4) provides that an arrested or detained person shall be brought before a court of law within reasonable time. For the first time, reasonable time is defined under section35(5) as one day where there is a court of competent jurisdiction within 40km radius, and in any other case, two days or such longer period, in the circumstance which the court may regard as reasonable. The subsection further provides that if an accused person is not tried; (a) Within 2 months from the date of arrest or detention in case of persons who is in custody or not entitled to bail or (b) within three months in case of persons who have been released on bail, he shall without prejudice to further proceedings that may be brought against him, be released unconditionally or on such conditions as are reasonably necessary to ensure that he later appears for trial. The effect of this provision is that, where the accused person is not brought to court within a reasonable time, whatever reasons the police may have for his continued detention, he must be released on bail unconditionally or conditionally, after 2 months or 3 months respectively depending on whether or not he is entitled to bail. It should be noted that this procedural safeguard as regards trials not available to a person charged with a capital offence, since he is not ordinarily entitled to bail because of the gravity of the offence.
Do I really need to explain this one to you?
We have witnessed nothing but stagnation on this matter. Is it a capital offense to vote? To lobby for change? To lobby for Biafra Referendum? If this is the case why was David Cameron not imprisoned? Yes that was a governing body and this is a country, however, the mere prospect holding a referendum. The suggestion of this body politic is not a capital crime. Likewise, it is not a crime for Nnamdi a free man to possess dual citizenship. On this planet it is also not a crime to have a radio station in a completely different country United Kingdom to muse and opine on whatever the owner of the broadcasting station elects. Radio Biafra is his station, IPOB station and they have the right to airing schedule that they desire without imprisonment in another country. Are you saying that anyone that has negative view of Nigeria that travels there exposes themselves to abduction, indefinite detention? How do you expect to engage in multicultural, global relations with citizens, businesses of foreign countries that cannot safely travel for business or pleasure? You are undermining your own efforts at revitalizing your economy. Yes, you Judge John Tsoho because you are the face and the mouthpiece of Nigeria legal system.
iv. Compensation clause Section 35(6) provides that anybody in respect of whom any of the provisions of this section has been breached is entitled to compensation and public apology by the appropriate authority. The appropriate authority could be the police or any other detaining body. In Dele Giwa v I.G.P , Dele Giwa was unlawfully arrested and detained without informing him of the charges against him in writing. He was released later and went to court relying on the constitutional provision. He was awarded N10, 000 and the IGP, Mr. Etim In yang, apologised to him in writing. It is to act as a caution against the breach of the human right provisions.
If there is any such case of compensation that should be awarded it is in this matter. In the World’s eyes, you can play a redemptive part by acting like an impartial jurist from this point on. Compensation should be awarded to these men for their mental anguish for the past year essentially.
v. Bail in Capital Cases ; Section 35(7)(a) provides;“nothing in subsection 4 shall be construed as allowing bail for a capital offender or suspect”.
This seems that bail for a capital suspect is not ordinary. It must be granted under exceptional circumstances. It is clear that the constitution meant section 35(4) and (5) 32 as section 35(4) cannot stand on its own. However, in Amuda v. C.O.P, it was held that the section cannot be read to foreclose bail for an accused on the ground that it will undermine Constitutional provision of presumption of innocence as enshrined under section 36(5) Bada J. said, to say that a person accused of a capital offence cannot be granted bail is wrong because he has not been proved guilty. It seems that the Constitution is not as forbidding so it looks in the first glance. Therefore, Sections 36(5) and 35(7) should be read together alteram partem. A breach of this doctrine of fair hearing in a judicial inquiry renders the action unconstitutional, illegal and liable to be set aside.
This matter should be set aside because we have witnessed that the entire process has been illegal, unconstitutional. The Nigerian courts, government and military have all engaged and continually engage in illegal actions. Nigeria will be left wallow in its woes solitarily if it does not rehabilitate its leadership. The World is all out of sympathy. The Biafran people want to separate because Nigeria is a hostile environment to them which is understandable. It can be reduced to two words: survival instinct. The Biafran people experience taxation without representation, marginalization, oppression, lack of security. Even an animal attempts to release itself from abusive situation and gnaw itself out of bondage.
vi. A person charged with a criminal offence must be tried within a reasonable time;
The constitution guarantees to every person charged with a criminal offence the right to be tried within “a reasonable time”.Trial within a reasonable time is fundamental to a fair trial because undue delay impairs the ability of an accused person to defend himself through the facts that are vital to his defense and witness might have died or the interval or the recollection of the facts by other witnesses might have become blurred. There is also the danger of the trial judge losing his impression of the demeanor of the witness after the lapse of time during which he has to watch the demeanor of witnesses.
Undue delay is thus fraught with the danger of miscarriage of justice, and for that reason it is frowned at by courts. Furthermore, a public arrest exposes the person involved to anxiety and concern which is unfair to be prolonged unduly. What is reasonable time is, however, relative to the circumstances of each case. The relevant factors to be taken into account include, the length of delay, the reason for it, the amount of prejudice to the fairness of the trial occasioned by the delay and the accused person‟s assertion of his right.
Again, do I really need to explain this one to you? We have witnessed nothing but stagnation on this matter. Is it a capital offense to vote? To lobby for change? To lobby for Biafra Referendum? If this is the case why was David Cameron not imprisoned? Yes that was a governing body and this is a country, however, the mere prospect holding a referendum. The suggestion of this body politic is not a capital crime. Likewise, it is not a crime for Nnamdi a free man to possess dual citizenship. On this planet it is also not a crime to have a radio station in a completely different country United Kingdom to muse and opine on whatever the owner of the broadcasting station elects. Radio Biafra is his station, IPOB station and they have the right to airing schedule that they desire without imprisonment in another country. Are you saying that anyone that has negative view of Nigeria that travels there exposes themselves to abduction, indefinite detention? How do you expect to engage in multicultural, global relations with citizens, businesses of foreign countries that cannot safely travel for business or pleasure? You are undermining your own efforts at revitalizing your economy. Yes, you Judge John Tsoho because you are the face and the mouthpiece of Nigeria legal system.
vii. Right to publicity of a criminal trial
. Under section 36(4), whenever a person is charged with a criminal offence, he shall unless the charge is withdrawn be entitled to a fair hearing in the public. In other words, the room or place in which any trial is to be conducted shall be an open court to which the public may have access as far as it can conveniently contain them. The proviso to section 36(4) further classifies certain instances when the public may not be permitted during a criminal trial. These situations are considered;
i) in the interest of defence, public safety, public order and public morality.
ii) for the welfare of persons who have not attained the age of eighteen years;
iii) to protect the private lives of the parties to the proceeding;
iv) upon the satisfaction of court by the Minister of Government of the Federation or a Commissioner of a State that it would not be in the public interest for any matter to be publicly tried, the court may hear such evidence in camera.
v) During trial of juvenile;
vi) When an enactment expressly requires that a trial shall be held in camera. In all these circumstances, when proceedings are being heard in camera, except the court expressly stated otherwise, bona fide representative of mass media, court officials and legal practitioners appearing in the case are permitted in court.
In this instance, where so much discrimination and disparity has run afoot there certainly needs to be transparency. Nnamdi Kanu is not a juvenile and this is most certainly in the interest of public morality.
I am going to do everything in my power spiritually and physically to expose the injustice that you are continually committing against these Biafran people. I will be watching you September 26 your predictable move to postpone yet again these men’s faith further enraging the World and exposing Nigeria to unrest and lack of peace. You are incensing the situation as opposed to settling the matter.
Unequally yoked the crime and the punishment. Nnamdi Kanu,David Nwawuisi and Benjamin Madubugwu: you, the court system, your government are engaging in discrimination against these men. Daniel Bulusson in his article Nigeria:
Speedy Trial for Corruption Cases eloquently states the obvious: “The day-to-day trial is a plus to the fight against corruption but it should not be restricted to only economic related crimes: Every criminal offense should be given the same treatment.”
The fight against corruption begins with the King’s Court. How can you expect to attract tourism and salvage economy ? How can you expect to attract investors, business if they feel that there are no legal remedies to breach of contract and nonperformance?
How can you expect travelers to feel safe in Nigeria knowing that there is not freedom of speech that assembling together singing songs is somehow punishable by death by your military forces with no legal consequences? You are proving that you are nothing more than a figurehead unable to administer justice. What say you?

Android ‘Gooligan’ Hackers Just Scored The Biggest Ever Theft Of Google Accounts
General NewsAccounts, America, Android, App Store, Attack, Billion, google, malicious software, Malware, Million, Researchers, Securitysuperadmin
A new variant of Android malware is responsible for what’s believed to be the biggest single theft of Google accounts on record. The so-called Gooligan strain has infected as many as 1.3 million Android phones since August, completely prising the devices open and stealing the tokens users are given to verify they are authorized to access accounts. Its main aim, though, is not to pilfer all that juicy data in Gmail or Docs, but to force users into downloading apps as part of a huge advertising fraud scheme, making as much as $320,000 a month.
And Gooligan is spreading at an alarming rate: since the start of this month, it’s been racking up an average of 13,000 new infections every day, according to researchers from Check Point. The malicious software first gains a foothold on devices when users visit a website and download a third-party app. Michael Shaulov, head of mobile and cloud Security Check Point, said that might be a porn site, or a third-party app store, where visitors are encouraged to download software to get access to content.
But once downloaded, Gooligan determines which Android phone it’s infected and launches the appropriate exploits to “root” the device – i.e. take complete control over it. To do that, the attackers have used long-known vulnerabilities, such as VROOT and Towelroot, on devices running Android 4 through 5, including Jelly Bean, KitKat and Lollipop. Together, those operating systems account for 74 per cent of Android devices in use today, totalling around 1.03 billion.
