Dr. Ulfkotte comes clean and admits he was secretly on the payroll of U.S. intelligence. “Moreover, Ulfkotte said that some media outlets are just an appendage of NATO propaganda service.”: http://is.gd/tOUjP6
RT: ‘Bought Journalism': Dr. Udo Ulfkotte a German bestseller reveals that CIA pay Western media for spin & bias
The media is a key tool in the battle for hearts and minds. But a bestseller by German author reveals some details on journalism that would be considered too outlandish, even in a spy novel.

MOCKINGBIRD: The Subversion Of The Free Press By The CIA
"You could get a journalist cheaper than a good call girl, for a couple hundred dollars a month." - CIA operative discussing with Philip Graham, editor Washington Post, on the availability and prices of journalists willing to peddle CIA propaganda and cover stories. "Katherine The Great," by Deborah Davis (New York: Sheridan Square Press, 1991)
"The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media." -- William Colby, former CIA Director, cited by Dave Mcgowan, Derailing Democracy
"There is quite an incredible spread of relationships. You don't need to manipulate Time magazine, for example, because there are [Central Intelligence] Agency people at the management level." -- William B. Bader, former CIA intelligence officer, briefing members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, The CIA and the Media, by Carl Bernstein
"The Agency's relationship with [The New York] Times was by far its most valuable among newspapers, according to CIA officials. [It was] general Times policy ... to provide assistance to the CIA whenever possible." -- The CIA and the Media, by Carl Bernstein

Any ulterior motives?
A review of the Wikipedia articles on Ulfkotte, both in English and German, makes clear that he (partly through his writings) has been strongly identified with anti-Islamic politics in Europe. I hope that his sudden 'conversion' concerning the wrongness of anti-Russian bias in news reporting isn't motivated by a desire to shift the public's animosities away from Russia and more towards Islam. Or likewise, by a desire to win credibility with the more critically-minded public, the better to serve US and NATO propaganda interests where operations against Muslim populations are concerned.

Tour of Qinghai Lake and Tour of Gippsland wraps, August 11, 2006
Winning at last
Well, the past month has been as out of control as a Chinese Cabbie in Beijing (and I am speaking from experience)!
Cody Stevenson (FRF Couriers/Caravello)
Photo �: Shane Goss
Last time I wrote I had just stepped back into the land of Oz after a successful trip to Europe and North America. My bag did not get unpacked! Before I knew it I had organised my Visa and was on a plane to China for the Tour of Qinghai Lake, a 2.HC level race� at altitude! Serious altitude for an Aussie, between 2000 and 4000 metres above!
The hotel was sorted, the stairs were climbed and seven bike riders were wheezing at the top of afore mentioned stairs� OK this altitude thing was hurting my chicken lungs!
China, what a spin out. It had everything and nothing all at once, all in the same place. BMWs, KFC outlets and Playstations stood alongside farmers driving tractors laden with family and produce side by side on the same strip of bitumen. Once we got into the mountains the contrast was even more noticeable, there were farmers who are still in subsistence mode, and only see a road bike once a year when the tour goes up the mountain while they are farming!
Back to the racing, and boy oh boy it was ON! The stages have all become a bit of a blur� it must have been the mountain air! If I wasn't suffering like a dog climbing some wretched mountain in the mist, I was having a dig in the sprints. I was able to have a dig three out of the nine days, and I managed to get some good results.
Cody Stevenson (FRF Couriers/Caravello, R)
I missed victory on stage two by a tyre�. Had I been told I would finish second in a stage before the event I would have had a wry smile on my face� .but actually coming second� .urgh! To come so close to a win in a 2.HC race leaves you with a taste of what might have been. After some great work from the team, which was made up of Tony Mann, Brendan Brooks, Peter Herzig, Peter McDonald, Joe McDonnell and Mr Lead out Josh Marden, I was able to win the bunch sprint on stage six to take fifth place. It was nice mixing it up with the Liquigas boys, and getting my nose in front, knowing full well I have to go back to work at the bike shop! For a small continental team it was nice. The final stage was a circuit race and the whole team was geed up! I had been sprinting well all week, taking bonus sprints out on the road, and then suffering to get over the massive mountains we had to endure, all with the help of solid team mates. The mountains were crazy, one side arid land the next dense lush fields, it was kind of surreal.
The final stage was well suited to our strengths being a circuit race. Unfortunately, some breakaway riders had other ideas and we didn't catch them until right at the line. The boys all rode flat out on the front to try to bring it back. It was nice to see team FRF Couriers chasing back the break alongside Liquigas, Bouyges Telecom and Skil Shimano. I managed to bash my way up the finish straight and claim 10th, unfortunately the courier couldn't deliver the goods! Oh well! So at the end of the tour of Qinghai Lake I came away with a second, a fifth, a tenth and sixth in the points classement. The boys all rode an awesome race, and were it not for some dodgy food which Macca couldn't hold down whilst climbing one of the mountains (read, food poisoning, ensuing stomach problem, regurgitation) we all would have finished the race. A big thank you must go out to Andy Portess, Daniel Healey, Claire Bailey and Liam Cleary. Thanks for putting up with us for two weeks, thanks for the massage, thanks for making my bike run sweet, and thanks for my muesli!
Cody Stevenson (R) brings the bunch home
Just a side note from the racing. Unfortunately, a lot of guys got a bit of Beijing Belly and were forced to quit the race with stomach problems. This sickness could also have been a result of the driving of some of the locals. OK it's 3000m above sea level, there is a massive salt water lake, you can buy fireworks at your leisure, beer is $1� .and to get a licence you must pass a driving test which I can only assume you fail if you: A - don't honk your horn whilst driving on the wrong side of the road, B - hesitate for a split second whilst trying to cross five lanes of traffic, or C - if you indicate or stick to the speed limit! It's great to see that people definitely do things differently all over the world!
On the plane, off the plane, do not unpack bag, get straight into car, head to next race. Cootamundra� Coota� State titles� not much to say� missed the break� chased� came fourth� d'oh! Back in the car, head to Tour of Gippsland. I managed to hook up with my team mate Brendan and hitch a lift, and sleep in his accommodation, and eat his food� hadn't really planned the fine details for this tour! I was heading down to Gippsland which would be the first race in the Tatts Cup series. I was left wanting more after my placings in China. The crew for this race would be Noel Jory - Chef extraordinaire - who cooked up some wicked feasts each night, his son Chris who performed well in his first five day tour, Mr Brendan Brooks and his father Peter. Without theses guys I would never have got to Gippsland. Cheers fellas!
Eventual winner Cody Stevenson (FRF Couriers / Caravello)
Okay, racing. It was flat out! With two stages every day I wasn't sure how I was going to go. I had only been back in the country for a few days, I had been in the car for most of that time, and had done a 180km road race in between. Stage 1 - my legs hurt! In the arvo road stage I got in the break and ran fourth, my team-mate Tony Mann got away with two others, took second on the stage and the KOM jersey.
Day two and my legs were starting to come good. I came away with fifth in the morning stage and seventh in the afternoon. Brendan had been in the break until 500m before the line when he was gobbled up by the peloton. The course went over some heavy terrain, and the rain and wind made things pretty cold.
Day 3 and I was beginning to feel a bit better. I got in a break about halfway through the stage, which was brought back about 10km from the finish and Tony belted off the front to try to gain some more KOM points and hopefully keep trucking to the finish. The peloton chased him and his breakaway companions down, and we caught them with 1km to go. I moved into good position for the sprint. Rob McLachlan hit out on the downhill run to the line and I managed to pass him and take my first stage win for the year. I have had some good results this year, but too many second places, finally a win! Woo Hoo!

The afternoon stage couldn't have gone better for me, I made it two wins in two stages! I managed to get away in a breakaway with five other riders, after some help from Wes Sulzsberger to get across, and then I used my sprint for the second time that day to take win number two!
Over the rest of the tour I managed to win two more bunch sprints but only for the placings, as breakaways were on the menu for the ensuing stages. Tony was able to maintain his lead in the Mountains classification, keeping the jersey all the way to the finish, and Brendan rode aggressively but did not have lady luck on his side this week!
A big thanks to Noel Jory, Peter Brooks, Peter Milostic, Jim Stokes and my dad for making what was a logistical nightmare a dream run.
So, I think I can unpack my bags� at least for one week! I have had a solid few months and taking two wins is some icing on the cake. I have had about ten top tens, so to win is a nice feeling. I hope that the form continues and that our team has more success in the coming months.

Here’s why Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s weapons may feel a little different than you’re used to

Infinity Ward discusses bullet drop and weapon archetype changes
By Austin Wood of GamesRadar
(Image credit: Activision)
In a lot of ways, Activision and Infinity Ward are going back to basics with the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare reboot. Returning characters, classic guns, and none (or way, way less) of the new-age sci-fi nuttiness that’s defined the most recent games. But as Infinity Ward explained in a recent blog post, the new Modern Warfare is also making fundamental changes to the way weapons handle.
“We were a little less precious with these [weapons] systems,” said multiplayer design director Geoff Smith. “We looked to see what still made sense, and pulled stuff out that we feel didn’t work, even if it made the team uncomfortable. Everybody on the team had pre-conceived notions on what ‘Call of Duty’ is and we had to shake people out of that mindset.”
One of the first big changes had to do with bullet velocity. Call of Duty games are blisteringly fast, so Infinity Ward didn’t want to add too much bullet drop, but for the sake of weapon variety and the multiplayer skill ceiling, Modern Warfare does ease off the instantaneous, hit-scan style of weapon a bit. “At close and mid-range, and depending on the weapon you’re firing, expect an instantaneous hit from your weapon’s ordnance,” Activision’s David Hodgson wrote. “A little further away, and you’ll need a little more skill [to lead your shots].”
Some longstanding weapon types are also receiving a bit of a shake-up. SMGs, for instance, have been high-recoil close-range weapons for years, but as Smith noted, “in reality, they are low-calibre weapons and are easier to control; they’re lower damage, they’re fairly accurate, so we’ve shifted the role of that weapon around.”
At the same time, some of the customisation options coming in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Gunsmith system will give weapons a huge range of, well, ranges. Smith teased that “we have a shotgun that you can make by adding a long-barrel and a sniper scope, making it a sniper shotgun. Or you can modify that same weapon by removing the barrel and stock, and get this snub-nose, super-fast weapon that’s completely different than how you started out.”
Speaking of the multiplayer skill ceiling: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will thankfully have dedicated servers on all platforms.
Call of Duty fans, you can finally rest easy: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will have dedicated servers and support crossplay at launch. According to a Game Informer cover story (via Charlie Intel), Infinity Ward and Activision are confirming that alongside full cross-play support for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, Modern Warfare will feature dedicated servers to ideally help ensure stability at launch and beyond.
Dedicated servers aren’t anything new to Call of Duty, but with the introduction of crossplay support to the franchise with the upcoming Modern Warfare, it’s even more crucial to ensure stable server performance by forking out for dedicated servers. With the pervasive issue of server instability in online competitive gaming, it’s a big relief to hear it’s quickly becoming commonplace for AAA developers to address the issue before it becomes an issue.
Of course, the announcement of dedicated servers is far from a 100% guarantee that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will launch completely free of server problems, especially with the series’ patchy history in that regard. Regardless, it’s certainly a step in the right direction.
As for cross-play, it’ll work similar to Fortnite, where matchmaking is input-based. That means players using controllers will be paired with other controller-users, and mouse & keyboard players will be paired up likewise. As for PC players looking to play with console-based friends, Infinity Ward has come up with a seemingly workable solution; in these situations, teams of mixed input players will be matched with other teams comprised of both mouse & keyboard players and controller players.

Class of the field: how the drivers fared in 2017
Barring a handful of catastrophic races for Ferrari, the 2017 Formula One season could have delivered the nail-biting season finale between Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel the opening half of the year so eagerly promised.
But while the title fight fizzled in Hamilton’s favour, the rest of the drivers were busy staking their claims for progression, though not all of them were successful.
VETTEL COMES OFF SECOND BEST
At the beginning of the year I wondered whether 2017 might end F1’s great sliding doors rivalry. Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel had never vied directly for the same title in their nine years racing together, but 2017 finally delivered both equal machinery and compliant teammates.
The result was fierce, and both drivers revelled in the opportunity to fight not just another great of their generation but to do so with the might of an entire team behind them.
Hamilton had the marginally quicker car at his disposal, but Vettel was able to access more performance more often. After 12 rounds just seven points separated the pair.
But Vettel’s title challenge unravelled with a retirement in Singapore thanks to an overzealous defence of pole despite starting four places ahead of Hamilton. Hamilton stole a 28-point lead and claimed his fourth championship four rounds later.
Though mechanical reliability played a part for Vettel, psychological fortitude decided this duel. Despite being infamous for being held hostage by his emotions, Hamilton refused to crack under pressure in 2017.
Vettel, whether behind the safety car in Azerbaijan or from pole in Singapore, too often lost the composure required to seal the deal.
A TALE OF TWO FINNS
Reigning 2016 champion Nico Rosberg’s Mercedes departure meant 2017 was always going to be about his replacement. Valtteri Bottas took the plunge knowing the results could range from rising his stocks considerably to killing his career.
The result was somewhere in the middle. His early season form in a difficult car excelled even beyond Hamilton’s abilities, but his off days were low and his post-midseason break form slump were bleak days indeed.
He finished 58 points behind Hamilton, who was in the best form of his career, and 12 points behind Vettel, a respectable enough result for a first season in a high-pressure environment.
But Bottas’s performances were flawless compared to his once great compatriot Kimi Räikkönen. Kimi was an embarrassing 100 points behind Valtteri and would have finished behind Red Bull Racing’s Daniel Ricciardo had the Australian’s car not failed in the final round.
Barring Bottas’s brief entry into title contention before the midseason break, both Finns, explicitly or implicitly, were tasked with bringing home the constructors title and supporting their senior teammates. Only one of the Finns succeeded.
A NEW RIVALRY EMERGES
Sergio Perez, now in his seventh season, and Esteban Ocon, a rookie except for his half-season with Manor last year, battled amongst themselves as though the title were at stake, much to the chagrin of team management, who watched helplessly as the pair hit each other on track.
Perez and Ocon are teammates a two very different career stages. The former is frustrated by the lack of opportunities for him to move to a race-winning team. The latter, already backed by a race-winning outfit, is eager to impress his Mercedes bosses.
It’s a formidable line-up, but Force India was caught off guard when it turned toxic. The team lost what could have been its first win when the pair collided in Azerbaijan, and a crash at the Belgian Grand Prix was bad enough — though it could have been so much worse — to force the team to order its drivers not to race each other for the rest of the season.
The rivalry has since cooled, but with both retained at the team in 2018 and with more action likely in its band of performance, expect more fireworks between them next season.
TORO ROSSO’S DRIVER MERRY-GO-ROUND
The Red Bull Junior Team is notorious for its ruthless decisions, but its shaking up of Toro Rosso’s driver line-up this season was a step up on its usual bombast.
Daniil Kvyat was dropped twice — three times including his 2016 demotion — to make way for 2016 GP2 champion Pierre Gasly, and former junior driver Brendon Hartley was drafted in when Renault successfully convinced Red Bull to trade it Carlos Sainz early.
While few begrudge Gasly and Hartley their seats, that the team had to make three changes in as many weekends speaks to the once purposeful programme’s lack of direction — indeed Hartley’s return to F1 is not as a rookie but as a two-time WEC champion.
But at very least Toro Rosso has delivered an interesting line-up. Gasly is undeniably talented, shifting almost seamlessly from GP2 to Japan’s Super Formula this year, and Hartley has grown exponentially since being dropped from the programme.
Both have impressed in their sudden late-season debuts, and their 2018 progress will be fascinating.
Antonio Giovinazzi’s two-round career to date may have ended in the barriers in treacherous Chinese conditions, but his impressive P16 qualification in Melbourne, where he qualified just 0.2 seconds behind his far more experienced teammate, Marcus Ericsson, and his P12 finish remain indicators of his potential.
Sauber has tragically overlooked him this year despite Ferrari pressuring it to take him over Ericsson, but the Scuderia is keeping the faith with the Italian for a 2019 full-time debut.
DARING TO DREAM…
Robert Kubica’s return to F1 after his horror rally crash in 2011 burst from seemingly spurious rumour into a genuine possibility this season. Renault overlooked the Pole amid its politicking with Red Bull over engine deals, but Williams is now sizing him up as Felipe Massa’s replacement.
Nothing is for certain, but Kubica’s steps to recovery in 2017, should they lead to a full-time return, would prove the year’s most remarkable story by far.

PM Stalls Signing Compensation Plan for Sugarcane Evictees
Thread: PM Stalls Signing Compensation Plan for Sugarcane Evictees
1st February 2017, 07:00 #1
Prime Minister Hun Sen has no immediate plans to sign a new petition asking him to endorse an initial plan to compensate thousands of families that have lost land to commercial-scale sugarcane plantations, a member of the cabinet said on Tuesday.
The news will be a blow to nearly 300 members of the families—some of whom are living in poverty—who were in Phnom Penh on Tuesday to deliver the petition to cabinet officials at Wat Botum Park.
Villagers from several provinces gather at Phnom Penh’s Wat Botum Park on Tuesday to petition Prime Minister Hun Sen for help in their land disputes with several sugarcane plantations. (Siv Channa/The Cambodia Daily)The petition asks Mr. Hun Sen to sign off on the terms of reference for a compensation plan involving plantations across Cambodia. An E.U. delegation that imports some of their sugar has been working on the deal with the government for nearly three years.
The petitioners include families from across four provinces: Koh Kong, Kompong Speu, Oddar Meanchey and Preah Vihear. Several of the plantations are or have been owned by CPP Senator Ly Yong Phat.
Soeung Sokhom, a representative for the families, said on Tuesday that they have been informed that the terms had already been submitted to Mr. Hun Sen’s cabinet and were awaiting his signature.
“The people affected by the sugarcane plantations have gone into debt, fallen into poverty and are all living in difficult situations,” he said.
The terms do not promise a quick fix. Should the prime minister sign them, it could take another 22 months to assess the claims, according to the E.U.
After taking their petition, however, Pal Chandara, a member of the prime minister’s cabinet who deals with land disputes, said Mr. Hun Sen would not be signing the terms anytime soon.
Mr. Hun Sen “will not sign because he wants lower officials from the Ministry of Land Management to do this job first,” he said. “Then [Mr. Hun Sen] will sign after the investigation.”
Eang Vuthy, executive director of family advocacy NGO Equitable Cambodia, said the terms were carefully designed with the E.U.’s help to ensure that the investigation remains open to continued input from the communities, the E.U. and NGOs like his.
The terms “will give the ministry responsibility to come up with the mechanism to assess the claims of the affected people and the process to validate the claims,” he said.

UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. - The Saginaw Valley State University men's soccer team defeated the University of Findlay today (Sept. 19), 2-1 for its second straight Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) win of the week.
The Cardinals were able to get on top early as senior Anthony Palazzolo (Warren, Mich. / De la Salle HS) capatilized on a shot off a pass from freshman Zach Walega (Saline, Mich.) making the score 1-0. Saginaw Valley had eight shots in the first half compared to Findlay's three and took the 1-0 advantage into halftime.
The Cardinals started off strong in the second half of play as sophomore Zach Myers (Grand Rapids, Mich./Forrest Hills Eastern HS) found the back of the net off a pass from freshman Noah Sawyer (East Lansing, Haslett HS) making the score 2-0. Findlay tried to come back when they would score late in the second half. Saginaw Valley had 19 total shots compared to Findlay's nine.
Senior goaltender Piotr Kazmierczak (Stargard, Poland) and the Cardinals defense kept the Oilers to only four shots on goal for the day. After the game head coach Cale Wassermann stated, "We went into todays game with the mindset to finish the weekend strong and not let Fridays win get to our heads. We started both halves playing quality soccer and moving the ball well which led to two great goals. It was a bit disappointing the way we finished the game because we got a bit complacent and unorganized which led to a goal against. All in all it was a good weekend leading up to our rematch with Northwood on Wednesday".
With the win Saginaw Valley improves to 4-3-0 overall on the season, and 2-2-0 in the GLIAC, while Findlay falls to 1-4-1 overall on the season, and 1-3-1 in the GLIAC. The Cardinals will be back in action on Wednesday (Sept. 22) when the take on Northwood University. Game time is scheduled for 4:00 pm.

Liikanen Out of the Blocks
By Michael Beaton on February 3, 2014
On 29 January 2014, the EU Commission published a legislative proposal and accompanying press release regarding a regulation on structural reform of the EU banking sector. Recognising that the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive will be unable to address the issue of “too-big-to-fail” in its entirety, and in furtherance of the political agenda to “refocus…banks on their core relationship-oriented role of serving the real economy”, the regulation was hailed by Michel Barnier, Commissioner for internal market and services, as “the final cogs in the wheel to complete the regulatory overhaul of the European banking system”.
Application and Scope
Broadly, the proposed regulation imposes a ban on proprietary trading and potential separation of certain trading activities of “too-big-to-fail” banks[1]. Specifically, it applies to any:
EU bank or its parent (including all branches and subsidiaries irrespective of where they are located) identified as a global systemically important institution (G-SII); and
any of the following entities that for three consecutive years has total assets amounting at least to EUR 30 billion and trading activities amounting at least to EUR 70 billion or 10% of its total assets:
EU credit institutions, their EU parents, their subsidiaries and branches (including those in third countries); and
EU branches and subsidiaries of banks established in third countries.
However, exemptions will be available for foreign subsidiaries of EU banks and EU branches of foreign banks which are subject to equivalent non-EU rules. In addition, non-EU subsidiaries of EU parent companies may be exempt if a robust “Multiple Point of Entry” resolution strategy is in place[2].
Proprietary Trading
“Proprietary trading” is defined as “using own capital or borrowed money to…purchase, sell or otherwise acquire or dispose of any financial instrument or commodities for the sole purpose of making a profit for own account, and without any connection to actual or anticipated client activity or for the purpose of hedging the entity’s risk…through the use of desks, units, divisions or individual traders specifically dedicated to such position taking and profit making”.[3] Notably, the concept does not include trading in EU government bonds or instruments of other institutions which benefit from a 0% RWA rating under CRD IV (“Permitted Investments”) or investments in certain highly liquid investments for the purposes of internal cash management[4].
Investing in Funds
The definition of “proprietary trading” is deliberately narrow. Therefore, to prevent banks from circumventing the prohibition, in-scope entities must not, with their own capital or borrowed money and for the sole purpose of making a profit for own account:
acquire or retain units/shares of Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs);
invest in any financial instrument the performance of which is linked to units/shares of AIFs; or
hold any units/shares in an entity that engages in proprietary trading or acquires units or shares in AIFs.
However, this restriction does not apply to the following (“Permitted Funds”):
closed-ended and unleveraged AIFs established or marketed in the EU;
qualifying venture capital funds;
qualifying social entrepreneurship funds, and
AIFs authorized as European long term investment funds.[5]
Separation of Trading Activities
By implication,[6] “trading activities” includes market making, investments in and acting as a sponsor for a securitisation, trading in derivatives,[7] and all other activities other than:
taking deposit guarantee scheme eligible deposits
lending;
financial leasing;
payment services;
issuing and administering other means of payment such as travellers’ cheques and bankers’ drafts;
money broking, safekeeping and administration of securities;
credit reference services;
safe custody services;
issuing electronic money;[8]
the buying or selling of Permitted Investments.
The scale of “trading activities” is measured by reference to the following formula[9]:
(TSA+TSL+DA+DL) / 2, where:
“TSA” are “Trading Securities Assets” – assets that are part of a portfolio managed as a whole and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit taking, excluding derivative assets;
“TSL” are “Trading Securities Liabilities” – liabilities taken with the intent of repurchasing in the near term, part of a portfolio managed as a whole, and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking, excluding derivative liabilities;
“DA” are “Derivative Assets” – derivatives with positive replacement values not identified as hedging or embedded derivatives; and
“DL” are “Derivative Liabilities” – are derivatives with negative replacement values not identified as hedging instruments.[10]
An EU Member State that has adopted “super-equivalent” legislation prior to 29 January 2014 and which meets certain other criteria[11] may make a request to the EU Commission to grant a derogation from the regulation’s requirements regarding the separation of trading activities. The competent authority may also exempt subsidiaries of EU parents established in third countries where there are no equivalent rules if satisfied that:
there is a resolution strategy agreed upon between the EU group level resolution authority and the third country host authority; and
the resolution strategy has no adverse effect on the financial stability of the Member State(s) where the EU parent and other group entities are established.
Once separated, those entities engaged in “trading activities” may not:
take deposit guarantee scheme eligible deposits, except where they relate to the exchange of collateral relating to trading activities; or
provide retail payment services, except where they are ancillary and strictly necessary for the exchange of collateral relating to trading activities[12].
For its part, the entity not involved in “trading activity” (the “Core Credit Institution”) must have strong, independent governance, separate management and must be capable of carrying on its activities in the event of the insolvency of the trading entity.[13] Both it and the trading entity will be subject to their own capital and liquidity requirements. In addition, all contracts entered into by the Core Credit Institution must be on an ‘arms-length’ basis[14] and will be subject to exposure limits as set out below:
Exposure to an entity that does not belong to the same sub-group (intra-group or extra-group) 25% of eligible capital[15]
Aggregate exposure to financial entities 200% of eligible capital[16]
Competent Authority Review
The proposed regulation requires the “competent authority” to undertake an ex-post review of certain other activities which are not currently subject to a prohibition but which have been identified as carrying the greatest risk of involving proprietary trading by the back door: market-making, investment in/sponsoring of securitization and trading of certain derivatives. The purpose of the review is to determine whether these activities should also be subject to separation. In performing this assessment, the competent authority is to use certain metrics[17]. It must (if the metrics are satisfied) and may (if they are not), separate an offending activity provided that, in both cases, it has concluded that the activity in question constitutes a threat to financial stability.
Permitted Activities
A Core Credit Institution may continue to sell interest rate derivatives, foreign exchange derivatives, credit derivatives, emission allowances derivatives and commodity derivatives capable of being centrally cleared as well as emission allowances to non-financial clients, Permitted Funds, UCITS, insurance undertakings and pension funds provided that:
the sole purpose of the sale is to hedge interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk, commodity risk or emissions allowance risk; and
the Core Credit Institution’s own funds requirements for position risk arising from these transactions does not exceed a proportion of its total risk capital requirement to be specified in a Commission delegated act.[18]
The EU Commission is targeting the following implementation timetable:
Regulation adopted by EU Parliament and EU Council June 2015
EU Commission adopts delegated acts required for implementation 1 January 2016
First annual list of covered and derogated banks published 1 July 2016
Ban on proprietary trading takes effect 1 January 2017
Separation of trading activities from deposit-taking entity 1 July 2018
First review of the operation of the regulation 1 January 2020
The Challenge to Banks
Any requirement to separate the trading activity of a bank from its core credit business will be a major undertaking, involving an extensive initial data trawl, mass novation and assignment of contractual relations and a fundamental restructuring of back and middle office functions. However, in reality, the greatest challenge to Banks will be in generating the data necessary to monitor and evidence compliance with the Liikanen regulation. Bank structural reform may not prove to be the ‘final cog in the wheel of the overhaul of the EU banking system’, but it may prove to be the final nail in the coffin of some bank’s ailing IT systems.
The Liikanen regulation is likely to trigger a fundamental review of the way banks generate and manipulate data. At a macro level, all banks which are subject to the regulation must have appropriate measures in place, and provide all information necessary, to enable the competent authorities to obtain information needed to assess compliance. In addition, they must ensure that their internal control mechanisms and administrative and accounting procedures permit the monitoring of their compliance at all times.[19] More specifically, they must register all their transactions and document systems and processes used for purposes of the regulation in such a manner that the competent authority is able to monitor compliance at all times.[20] At a micro level, banks will be required to generate and monitor wholly new views of data. Monitoring the scale of trading activities will prove challenging enough, but understanding the motivation of clients seeking to trade or determining whether the bank has direct or indirect holdings in entities that engage in proprietary trading or themselves hold units or shares in AIFs seems little more than a distant pipe dream for many.
Liikanen is out of the blocks. The next two years will see the ability of banks to manage data put firmly in the docks.

Next Stop for the Strasburg Express - Altavista on a Saturday Night
STRASBURG - Madison County was up 2-1 at Altavitsa Thursday night but the home team rallied back to win games four & five so Strasburg will make the trek down US-29 on Saturday night for the Region B Championship.
Strasburg (23-1) earned their third consecutive trip to the State Tournament at home tonight by sweeping the Governors of Nelson County 3-0 (25-21, 25-11 & 25-21). Bull Run District Player of the Year Jenna Smoot led the attack for Head Coach Suzanne Mathias with a rare double-double. The senior collected 10 kills and 10 blocks in one of her more dominating performances of the season.
Smoot hit the court running by collecting 3 kills and 1 block in the first 2 minutes of action as the Rams raced out to a 7-0 lead. Nelson County (19-6) would rally back throughout the opener and cut the lead to 22-19 on an Ace from Keona Loving. Strasburg closed out the first game 25-21 behind a back row kill from Ally Kaufman and a service point from Meghan Gum.
"Jenna played tonight like she has in the last two matches," Mathias said. "The momentum continued in to the match tonight and that allowed us to get out to a quick start."
Strasburg raced out to a big lead at the start of the second game at 13-4 and this time they would not allow the Govenors back into the contest. The Rams stayed aggressive until the final point and closed out the game with two kills from Jacyln Ayers and two blocks from Smoot. The 25-11 defeat and 0-2 hole would of been enough to crack most opponents but Nelson County answered the bell for Game 3.
NCHS took its only lead of the match at 3-2 in game 3 and tried to match points with Strasburg. The score was 11-8 when Smoot went on yet another tear by scoring two kills and a block inside of a minute to push the lead out to 15-9 but the Governors continued to battle back.
Strasburg led 19-12 when Stephanie Conde made the play of the night by stretching out to get her right arm on a 3 ball while running away from the net. The senior was able to not only track the ball down but send it to the back row and this allowed Smoot to blast a kill to finish the point. The noise in the gym resembled an airplane taking off after the play and the point pushed the lead to 20-12.
NVHS made one more push by scoring five straight points to pull within 20-17 and force Mathias to call a time out in an effort to settle her team down. The team traded points until the score was 23-21 and Mathias subbed Smoot back in one rotation early. Samantha St. Clair answered with a cross court kill and then Smoot closed out the match the same way she started it, by slamming a set to the gym floor.
"We came out tonight and played with a great deal of excitement and we were ready to go," Mathias added. "I told them before the match to have fun and enjoy their ride."
The match Saturday night will serve dual purposes in that the winner will be crowned Region B Champions and play their next game at home on Tuesday night. The team that comes up on the short end of the score board will take a road trip to the Eastern portion of the State in their next match. While punching their third straight ticket to States Mathias hopes that each team is treated individually.
"I want it to be about this team this season," Mathias noted. "It is their ride and I want them to be able to enjoy it."

All of our cheap steel buildings include free delivery for greater savings, and we’ll also build the structure on your property for free. Your new building will require a level surface for its foundation, though: A level gravel base or a concrete pad is recommended for all buildings we sell at Alan’s Factory Outlet.

The triple-steel garages are built in 26-foot, 28-foot, and 30-foot widths. We also have 40-foot-wide models, available in lengths of 32 feet, 34 feet, 36 feet, 38 feet, and 40 feet. The lean-to model comes in 36 feet, 42 feet, 44 feet, 46 feet, and 48 feet. It has 12 feet on both sides of the building. The lengths start at 21 feet and get longer in 5-foot increments: 26 feet, 31 feet, 36 feet, 41 feet, 46 feet, 51 feet, 56 feet, 61 feet, 66 feet, 71 feet, 76 feet, 81 feet, 86 feet, 91 feet, 96 feet, and 101 feet. To make them longer than 41 feet, we attach two of our steel garages end to end; they can be built longer than 101 feet. We recommend the vertical roof for any garage built 41 feet or longer.

That’s just one of the many reasons why so many people choose to buy one of our metal storage buildings for sale.
We ship nationwide directly to you or your job site. Our prices include FREE JOB SITE DELIVERY except to AZ, AK, & HI. Alaska and Hawaii shipping is calculated by individual quote. Arizona has customer yard pickup available, but individual shipping can be calculated. Your steel garage frame kit will be shipped directly from us via common carrier. In most cases the exterior panels and trim will be shipped from the panel supplier in our network that is closest to your job site location. We have an extensive nationwide database of suppliers for your paneling and reduced shipping is another reason we are able to provide lower prices.
We know that RVs come in all shapes and sizes, and that makes it all the more important to choose the right metal RV covers. For RV owners, we are proud to provide a selection of covers and garages in a variety of sizes as well as more than a dozen color choices for the roof and trim. We want you to purchase the RV carport that meets all of your expectations!
The regular-style roof is rounded on the sides with a barn-like shape. This is the most economical option for a metal building roof. The leg height on the regular garage packages is 8 feet, but at the top of the bend on the leg, it is 1 foot taller. This gives you 9-foot legs with a 9x8 garage door. The boxed-eave and vertical metal building packages come standard with 9-foot legs fully enclosed with a 9x8 garage door. The metal buildings for sale that have a boxed-eave roof have an A-frame gable roof with a 6-inch overhang on both sides. The vertical style is also built with an A-frame roof and has a 6-inch overhang on both sides. All of our steel buildings for sale have a 6-inch overhang on the front and back ends. The sheeting on a vertical-style roof runs up and down, allowing the snow to slide off of the building so you won’t have to rake the roof. Also, there’s bracing attached under a vertical roof to secure the sheeting. This adds strength to the structure of a vertical garage. When you look at the boxed-eave and regular roofs, you’ll notice that the sheeting runs horizontally over the length of the roof.
The basic design for each RV shelter is the same — a long, covered structure for easy parking — but our structures can accommodate the huge variety of vehicles on the market. Choose from metal RV carports as long as 61’ and as wide as 40’ for extra large RVs, or even 21’ and 26’ RV carports and covers for motorhomes or trailers. You can order the sides of your RV shelter to be along the top or bottom or even fully enclosed for complete protection against the elements.
“Timing was an extremely important factor for us and we knew no one in America could get a steel building on site quicker than Armstrong Steel - so the choice was easy. With all of the unscrupulous steel building companies out there today, we're glad we chose Armstrong Steel because we got what we paid for and THEN some AND they came through in a pinch!”

Pete Carroll, John Schneider 'marriage' nearing 10 years with Seahawks
Brady HendersonESPN
LOS ANGELES -- Losing to the Los Angeles Rams in lopsided fashion raised a few questions the Seattle Seahawks would prefer to not have to answer as they head into the regular season's closing stretch.
Why has their pass rush been so hit-and-(mostly)-miss this season? What's up with the recent dip in production from Russell Wilson and the passing game? How much will they miss the one-two punch they had just found in their run game now that Rashaad Penny is injured?
Here's one they won't mind asking: how did general manager John Schneider find a 26-year-old playmaker like Quandre Diggs for nothing more than a fifth-round pick?
That trade (which also netted Seattle a 2021 seventh-rounder) was already looking like a steal for Seattle before Diggs picked off two passes Sunday night and returned one 55 yards for a touchdown.
"Incredibly timed play," Pete Carroll said of Diggs' pick-six, which he followed up by coming down with a deep ball on the Rams' next possession. "I mean, what it should show you, because it shows me that he'd been there before. He had a chance to make a big play and he just made it look like it was as easy as could be. And it's not the first time he's done that.
"So he's a really good ballplayer. We've been telling you about his savvy, his instincts and how natural a player he is. I thought that was obvious there. And also, the other pick was a really good one, too. He went and helped outside of his area to go make a play by reading the quarterback and did a great job to come up with that ball too."
On his pick-six, Diggs was covering a crossing route when Shaquem Griffin pressured Jared Goff into a overthrow.
"The coaches just put me in a great spot to make a play," Diggs said. "That's all it is. When the play comes to you, you've just got to make it. That's what I did. Nothing more, nothing less. We didn't win, so that stuff really doesn't matter."
Quandre Diggs' two interceptions, one that he returned for a touchdown, was the main bright spot for the Seahawks on Sunday night. Richard Mackson/USA TODAY Sports
As an isolated play in a forgettable defeat, it doesn't. What matters is the trend of playmaking since Diggs was inserted into Seattle's starting lineup at free safety alongside Bradley McDougald.
Diggs missed what would have been his first two games with the Seahawks due to a hamstring injury that was worse than the team realized when it acquired him from the Detroit Lions a week before the trade deadline. In his four starts since, Diggs has three interceptions, a forced and recovered fumble plus a handful of big hits that, as Carroll sees it, have had a noticeable effect on opposing receivers -- like the one he put on Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. last Monday night.
According to linebacker Bobby Wagner, Seattle's defense has more coverage options with Diggs manning the back end.
"Definitely, because we're allowed to play a little bit more coverages because of his range and how far he can go," Wagner said. "So we can play a little bit more Cover 3, play a little bit more Cover 2 and things of that nature because he has a range and he's not afraid to come down and hit. So between him and B-Mac, it's a good duo back there."

It's one of several duos the Seahawks tried this season at a position group that has been in flux since the Earl Thomas-Kam Chancellor days came to an end. Tedric Thompson (now on injured reserve), rookie second-round pick Marquise Blair and Lano Hill have also started games at safety this year.
Thompson and Hill each have a year left on their rookie contracts. McDougald is also under contract for one more season but at a high enough cap number ($5.43 million) to make you wonder if the Seahawks might move on early now that they've traded for Diggs and drafted Blair as high as they did.
Diggs, signed through 2021, has no more guaranteed money left after this season on the contract the Seahawks inherited from Detroit. But he sure looks like a keeper.
"He's just been amazing," Wagner said. "The plays that he had, the pick-six and another pick, the way he plays downhill in the run game, his intelligence, how smart he is, he's a great guy in the locker room. He's just been a huge pickup for us and we're happy to have him on our team."

T.I. Issues Statement On Arrest, Believes He Was Wrongfully Detained
By Alex Zidel
T.I. thinks he was wrongfully arrested by "white cops in a very white area."
With the Black Lives Matter movement being a general topic of discussion for the last few years, many powerful black personalities claim to be targeted because of the color of their skin. On nearly a daily basis, people of color are wrongfully arrested based on suspicion alone. Early this morning, it was reported that T.I. had been detained for disorderly conduct, public drunkenness and assault. Although the rapper was released in time to make it to his son Major's birthday party, he almost was not in attendance and believes that once the facts are out on the arrest, the charges will be dropped.
Tip's attorney released a statement today claiming, "Tip was wrongfully arrested early this morning when he attempted to gain entrance into his gated community - where his wife “Tiny” and his family reside." Lawyer Steve Sadow goes on to give details of the incident, saying that the security guard was asleep when T.I. pulled up to the gate with Tip respectfully calling him out on this. The situation turned into a heated debate and police did not want to hear Tip's side of the story. In a statement released to The Blast, Tip says that he believes he was locked up simply for being an affluent black celebrity in a white neighborhood, declaring that the law enforcement near his home is "white cops in a very white area."
Further details are bound to become available on the "Whatever You Like" rapper's arrest and we will continue to update you on the case.

Category: End Times
One of the most fascinating aspects of the Christian faith is the continual fulfilling of prophecy written thousands of years ago. No man can foretell the future, so humanity’s ongoing alignment with the prophetic Word of God is an astounding confirmation of authenticity, to the non-prejudiced heart.
That the memes of this current age are so clearly predicated, makes it startling that so few contemplate the consequences thereof. But why does society embrace and follow certain paths that have obvious destruction ahead? How are individuals and societies reaching conclusions and making decisions that often don’t make sense?
The answer is information.
We live in a time when information is the key to success and failure, to shaping opinions and cultures, to building up and breaking down, to empowering and to disempowering. Those that understand this, long ago secured control of the media and a battle for the control of the internet and global education, is currently underway.
Who are these forces and these powers?
From a biblical perspective, we know that a demonic power will rise up and seek to enslave the entire world unto a single state world govt. Already there are many globalist agendas & activities underway, corralling humanity in a particular direction and Australia is often at the forefront of these efforts.
From its birth, Australia has always been a subservient nation, whether to Britain, the US or even China; and the population are readily manipulated and directed towards desired outcomes. The media shape the narrative and direct everyone from politicians to religion to the entire population; to behave in a predetermined way and to make the desired ‘democratic’ decisions. When there is rebellion or an unwillingness to follow, more stern action is taken, to ensure compliance.
Which leads to one of the biggest tools of deception in this misinformation war; the journalist.
As one well known editor said;
Nothing has changed in 150 years and possibly the only real Australian journalist is currently being tortured in Belmarsh prison for exposing the murder of innocent people by western govts. That the average Australian ‘journalist’ doesn’t even recognize him as such, is telling.
In Australian, there are few better examples of the globalist concubine journalist, than Peter FitzSimons. As one would expect, he is a bully who thrives in a nation that has made bullying a national sport. Watch any of his TV interviews and it will become immediately apparent.
[Unfortunately bullying is encouraged and permeates throughout Australian society from early school life, in sports, against women, against indigenous people, against foreigners and now increasingly against conservatives and Christians. Everybody is Australian society has had to contend with bullying, which contributes to the extremely high incidence of drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence, suicides, and mass medication for anxiety and stress]
FitzSimons uses his position, status and privilege to drive his agendas and along the way bully and abuse those individuals and groups that the media has collectively deemed persona non grata. Once they have achieved sufficient support for their agenda, they increase the attacks and encourage their likeminded social media followers to support with abuse, intolerance and hatred.
A very clear example of how the Australian people were recently duped in this manner was with the same sex marriage plebiscite. The media initiated and drove the campaign from the beginning. Any person, politician, business or organisation that did not fall in line was targeted and relentlessly abused, slurred and even attacked. Those that did not agree to ‘equality’ and ‘free love’, were deemed hateful, intolerant and bigots. In fact, according to Peter FitzSimons, Christians are the cause for the high suicide rate amongst homosexuals.
To this day, barely a week goes by without FitzSimons dredging up muck on some Christian around the world to reinforce his bigotry. When Folau, an indigenous Christian, dared to challenge the narrative, the abuse went into overdrive.
Had LGBT people honestly wanted equality, they could have formed their own unions and petitioned govt to recognize these unions as equal to marriage in every way. This would have shown tolerance to other beliefs and cultures. It would have shown acceptance of faiths and multiculturalism. But the real agenda was to usurp and redefine the beliefs of marriage held by everyone in Australian society. As so often is the case, those accusing others had become the intolerants, the haters and the bigots.
Many people hateful and intolerant of Christianity, may still believe it was the right decision. But what needs to be understood is that a precedent has been set and next time those same people may find their own beliefs being redefined to suit another cause that the global media is pushing.
It might be worthwhile remembering the words of JFK in this regard;
That young children are now undergoing enforced gender therapy and few are willing to speak up, shows clearly just how vicious the attacks against dissenters has been in the past. Everybody knows this is child abuse, but few are willing to be called bigots by the media’s social Bolsheviks. It’s a subtle tyranny that quietly enslaves the whole of society.
Peter FitzSimons’ latest manipulative and bullying effort revolves around indigenous football players resistance to singing the national anthem before games.
The reality is that like Colin Kaepernick, local football players are being manipulated and coerced into political activity or risk being ostracized. Can anyone truly say there is something in the national anthem Australia Fair that is racist?
But the indigenous people of Australia do have a lot to be discontent about. Dispossessed of their land, their culture destroyed, murdered in their thousands, purposely enslaved in alcohol and drugs…. Frankly there needs to be a debate and decision on restoration and compensation on a massive scale. Certainly, an apology from the highest office.
But we are told the national anthem is the cause of indigenous anxiety? If that be so, then so too should the whole Australian culture and the sports that culture imposed upon Aboriginal society, offend. You cannot simply be offended in part, but not be offended by that which enriches oneself.
This is the motivation behind my below comment.
In reality this is simply another tool of imposition by the powers that be, to use indigenous people to push a globalist agenda: which is, the breakdown and replacement of national identity & patriotism in the West, with a globalist, multicultural identity. We can be certain that SMH & FitzSimons will be singing from that hymn sheet at every opportunity and using indigenous people to that end.
And to drive home how the absolute disregard FitzSimons has for indigenous people, he liked only one response to my comment. And it is absolutely clear he diligently sought through the many responses to find one that would be the most offensive to indigenous people:
These are the true colours of Peter FitzSimons.
Not once did FitzSimons question the motive of my comment, but rather sat back and let his hateful followers spew out all manner of bile and evil. This is the bully, the voice of hatred and intolerance, disguised as tolerance and multiculturalism, which has privileged status in Australian society.
While the Imperial West was marauding, colonising, enslaving & murdering indigenous people throughout the world, true Christians were following and lifting up those same communities.
To this day, while FitzSimons and his gangs of intolerant media thugs criticize and condemn Christianity from the view of their privileged and private clubs, Christians will be in the community looking after the orphans and widows, visiting those in prisons, feeding the poor, helping those in need from every religion, culture and sexual orientation.
Be careful what you wish for Peter. Even the famed atheist Richard Dawkins, who hates Christianity has warned against celebrating the demise of Christianity in Europe, noting that the “relatively benign” religion could be replaced with something worse. But of course, that is the globalist agenda.

real gay agenda
As Australians vote whether to enforce homosexual marriages upon society it might be worth noting a few facts before voting:
1. The link between Marxism, homosexuality and pedophilia.
Harry Hay – ‘Father of Gay Liberation,’ Communist, and supporter of NAMBLA the Paedophile Advocacy Group
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X9pRMgBGpA
2. The militancy and intolerance of this agenda
Already very clearly revealed in Australia by the threatening and intolerant response to any alternate view, since the plebiscite was announced.
Here are some quotes that should leave no doubt as to the agenda of the militant homosexual agenda.
“we’ll get you through your children.” – Allen Ginsberg a militant Jewish homosexual and paedophile advocate
“Recruiting children? You bet we are.”
“Can we please just start admitting that we do actually want to indoctrinate kids?”
“[Conservatives] accuse us of exploiting children and in response we say, ‘NOOO! We’re not gonna make kids learn about homosexuality, we swear! It’s not like we’re trying to recruit your children or anything.’ But let’s face it–that’s a lie. We want educators to teach future generations of children to accept queer sexuality. In fact, our very future depends on it… Why would we put anti-bullying programs or social studies classes that teach kids about the historical contributions of famous queers unless we wanted to deliberately educate children to accept queer sexuality as normal?”
“The younger generation doesn’t fear homosexuality as much because they’re exposed to fags on TV, online, and at school. And I don’t know a single lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender person who wants that to stop. I for one certainly want tons of school children to learn that it’s OK to be gay, that people of the same sex should be allowed to legally marry each other, and that anyone can kiss a person of the same sex without feeling like a freak. And I would very much like for many of these young boys to grow up and start fucking men. I want lots of young ladies to develop into young women who voraciously munch box. I want this just as badly as many parents want their own kids to grow up and rub urinary tracts together to trade proteins and forcefully excrete a baby.”
“I and a lot of other people want to indoctrinate, recruit, teach, and expose children to queer sexuality AND THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.”
– Daniel Villareal
‘Older generations are a lost cause since they are typically set in their beliefs. This is why it’s imperative to focus our efforts on teaching the newest generation (children) about alternate sexual lifestyles. It is critical that we teach children about all sexualities at as young an age as possible. Why? Because the younger a child is, the easier they are to reach. Waiting until a child is 8 or 9 (for example) is too late since their mind has already been polluted with bigoted ideas which are pervasive throughout society. A child should grow up being equally curious about boys and girls. Youth should be free to choose same sex relationships without any pre-conceived notions about what is “normal”. When these goals are realized, discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people will end.’
– PRINCIPLE OF PROGRESSIVE POLITICS — The teaching & promotion of alternate sexual lifestyles
‘Children are the prize to the winners of the cultural war. Those who control what young people are taught and what they experience will determine the future course for our nation. The predominant value system of an entire culture can be overhauled by those with unlimited access to children. Homosexual activists understand very clearly how important children are to their cause.’
– The Real Homosexual Agenda
‘The fear of the religious right is that the schools of today will be the governments of tomorrow. And you know, they’re right. If we do our jobs right, we’re going to raise a generation of kids who don’t believe the claims of the religious right.’
– Speakers at the 1999 Gay, Lesbian, Straight Educational Network conference
(This quote obviously refers to undermining religious opposition to homosexuality by targeting children however opposition to the militant homosexual agenda is not solely about religious objections).
“I am here to tell you: All that time I said I wasn’t indoctrinating anyone with my beliefs about gay and lesbian and bi and trans and queer people? That was a lie…”

The Trans/Sociopath Overlap

War against the West
Why is drug consumption and pedophilia illegal?
Why do nations restrict gambling and prostitution?
In each instance it is because these activities have a destructive impact on the individual, their families, communities and society as a whole. Those that govern nations still have some conviction, even if only for self preservation, that they are required to enact laws that will help benefit society and allow those within it, to have the best chance to thrive and be successful.
Every law does not suit every citizen, but the overall benefit to society behind laws that are introduced, are generally recognized.
If school children are being injured in traffic as they leave school, society expects and will support legislative responses that help reduce or eliminate injuries to school children. Lower permissible traffic speeds during school opening hours speeds may not be appreciated by couriers and transport companies, who have a special interest at heart, but the rest of society will support such a move.
These are the decisions that society expects of their government. If politicians consistently oppose the views and well being of society, they will be replaced by the will of the people through the ballot box. This is democracy at work. Plain and simple… or is it?
The reality is that the advent of globalism has reduced democracy to little more than a worthless sham, with elections being won by those political parties with the most funding. And in spite if any contrary propaganda, political donations are never an act of kindness or for the love of democracy. The only decision that politicians need to make is; “how many donor and special interests can I appease without losing the next election.”
Up until recently this was an easy task because corporations that fund political parties also support or own the media. If the funders wanted to open a new mine or enrich themselves, the media would simply drum up support to fund a new railroad or motivate the sale of some lucrative state assets. The corporations in turn would spend more money on media advertising and party funding and there wouldn’t be too much resistance from the public.
If they got it wrong and the people voiced their protest at the next election, the media would then simply steer the public back to the other ‘donor approved’ political party. The opposition would seize power and continue to open doors for the same funders. If any usurpers comes in and attempt to upset the cosy political status and redirect efforts towards benefiting the people, both approved parties, together with the media would join forces to oppose the intruder. This has worked successfully for many years.
But life has become a little more difficult for politicians in recent years as these multinationals, industrialists and hidden powers are now demanding a lot more than the usual assets, tax breaks or freebies. What they are really looking to achieve now is social change on a global stage.
If you haven’t heard about the New World Order you may be forgiven as it is not a freely bandied about term. But everyone knows about Communism, multiculturalism and gay rights and we all certainly know about the war on terror.
None of these are chance developments, but they are all closely linked, very calculated and purposeful initiatives that are being forced upon Western society by special interest groups. Politicians in the West are under tremendous pressure to implement a whole host of socio political changes upon society at a very quick rate or risk losing power.
And if politicians balk at these outrageous demands, the hidden powers are no longer prepared to wait for the next election to re-establish their agenda; they simply use the media and their other tools to initiate an overthrow from within the ruling political party.
So what are these grand goals and why are they so important?
If anyone is not already aware, they will soon realize that the ultimate goal is the establishment of a one state world communist government. Every bit of media power and every other hidden political influence is working towards this goal but there are some stumbling blocks that must first be moved to achieve this. The destruction of Christianity, together with the breakdown of the traditional family structure and more recently the dilution of western culture through multiculturalism, are all deemed necessary to achieve this ultimate goal.
Christianity opposes everything the New World Order seeks to establish. The abolishment of slavery, the equality of all people, the protection of life, freedom of association, diversity, justice and helping the vulnerable & marginalized are fundamental ideals of the Christian faith. Christianity earnestly believes every person is unique and has a valuable contribution to make to the well being of society.
The family unit intact, with parental influence, limits the influence and effectiveness of state indoctrination. Children have to be made to conform to the future government of this order and teachers and government officials must replace parents. This becomes far easier once the family is broken and particularly when the father is removed from the family.
Nationalism and historical culture identity is a natural resistance to global government. By flooding the west with masses of people of other faith, ethnicity and culture, under the guise of multiculturalism, the hope is to dilute the traditional values and identity of a nation and make world government more acceptable. Any activity that shows any allegiance to nationalism must be stigmatized, vilified and opposed.
In contrast, this New World Order seeks;
– total subservience to the state from everyone. Diversity and uniqueness must be replaced with conformity and uniformity;a single race without any ties to history or God; a people who will gladly accept and serve the new world government;
– to establish a special class of privileged citizens who will Lord over all others, whilst enslaving the majority through increasing taxes, debt & poverty with no asset ownership, but total dependence on the state;
– to dramatically reduce the world population through ongoing wars, euthanasia, enforced sterilization and abortion;
– to break down society through abusive and unjust laws, indoctrination, corrupt education, exposure to pornography and drugs, race wars, etc
– to break down the family identity by reducing the influence of parents, destroying the foundations and meaning of marriage, pushing militant feminism, homosexuality and more recently pedophilia and bestiality and promoting gender neutral and gender confused ideology.
– to remove all privacy and personal liberty under the guise of safety and fighting a war on terror. To ultimately microchip every person and introduce total financial control through digital currency.
Communism is the ideology that drives all these goals and if anyone wonders how this ties into Capitalism they might be surprised to know that Communism was initiated and funded by wealthy Capitalists. Communism is after all a monopoly; the Capitalist Utopia. As Capitalism was corrupted by large and powerful corporations the impact began to be felt within society. At first monopolies were restrained or broken up but this has became a thing of the past as these powers have subversively and successfully gained control over governments. The corruption is now so advanced that governments routinely allow multinationals to avoid paying tax or avoid punishment for crimes. It should be no surprise that the 1% is getting very wealthy at the expense of the 99%. When it is deemed acceptable for large corporations to come in and suck the life of a community, reducing previous business owners to low paid slave employees, it is no longer a system worth retaining. The mainstream media will however tell you otherwise.
Every one of these Communist New World Order goals is being established in the west with the latest deception being the war against the identity of marriage.
If same sex marriage was simply about equality and justice as the media portrays, those behind this push would simply form their own unions and have government legislate the equality of such unions. ‘Gayriage’ would simply be the equivalent of marriage. People of faith could continue to believe marriage is between a man and women and gay people would identify ‘Gayriage’ as their special union. Each group would respect the beliefs and identity of the other.
As lesbian & Australian politician Penny Wong once stated;
“On the issue of marriage I think the reality is there is a cultural, religious, historical view around that which we have to respect. The party’s position is very clear that this is an institution that is between a man and a woman.” Of course she and others have been forced to change their view.
This latest push to adulterate marriage has nothing to do with equality. It is about forcing people to change what they believe; forcing the acceptance and submission of all people to the chosen doctrine; that of a Communist, media backed, militant, minority. Anyone that disagrees must be labelled, demonized and persecuted. There is no place for diversity or religion in Communism.
Back to the original statement of why laws are made in the first place – they are there to protect the individual and society.
If this is indeed so, why is the media promoting homosexuality if it is to the detriment of the communities of the West:
– Homosexuals are roughly 23 times more likely to abuse a child than heterosexuals; (possibly higher, as few victims are willing to report such abuse)
– The average lifespan of a homosexual is 20 years less than a heterosexual;
– Homosexuals have a limited ability to remain in relationships with 28% reporting to having over 1000 sexual partners. The average relationship last 2 years with the majority having external partners during that period;
– STD’s affects 78% of the homosexual population;
– The homosexual lifestyle is 3 times more fatal than gross obesity or smoking;
– The rate of sexual abuse(x4) drug abuse, suicide(x3), attempting murder(x4) mental and physical illness are all substantially higher among the gay community.
Any person is entitled to pursue their beliefs without persecution. But if the lifestyle of any other group had these same destructive impact on individuals and society as that of the homosexual lifestyle, would the media and other interest groups be promoting and advancing them as forcefully? This alone, shows us there is clearly another agenda at work.
The homosexual movement was originally started by avowed Communist, Harry Hay in the 1930’s for the sole purpose of overthrowing the West through moral decay. Several books have been written on this well planned agenda noticeably through the strategy of (1) Desensitization, (2) Jamming, and (3) Conversion and all western nations are now in step with this plan. And much of the focus of this agenda is directed towards children.
The safe schools* policy that was established in Australia by homosexual activists, was recently exposed as being a tool to indoctrinate children as young as 3 years old. The program is in reality a highly sexualized program of indoctrination that exposes children to every facet of the homosexual lifestyle including pornography. It has all the traits of sexual grooming.
And as usual, the association between perversity and Communism is present:
Anyone who disagrees with this agenda is immediately labelled homophobic, a bigot or filled with hatred. All discussion must be stopped. Every other opinion marginalized.
Those that oppose Christianity may support and rejoice in these potential changes, but they are blinded to what is being established as a by product in this latest adulteration of democracy.
What is means for the future is that any company, political or social organisation can have their rules, beliefs or identity changed to appease others. It simply depends on who has the power, who controls the media and what their agenda is. Any ethnic organisation can be considered supremacist or racist, any social organization elitist or exclusive… the list is endless. No group will be able to have any unique identity or belief system. This is the future the New World Order is trying to establish and the people are non the wiser.
Behind all of these destructive efforts working against the people of the West lie the same Communist ideals. It is well worth reading those of the new Communist front organisation in the USA, known as Antifa, for further enlightenment:

NWO Cultural Change
The success and well being of a nation depends entirely on its spiritual state. Nations that have a Christian heritage and that adhere to Christian values are more successful, have a happier society and have fewer social evils than those that don’t. Where Christianity is rejected or the Christian system is adulterated or distorted for personal gain, power or position, those under that changing influence will likewise suffer. Throughout history this has proved to be true over and over again without fail.
In this day and age of materialism, western society has been seduced and deceived into thinking there is no spiritual realm and that somehow we are the ‘gods’ of our own destiny. Nothing could be further from the truth. The spiritual realm moves and the natural realm follows. Where society or individuals are suffering or trapped in bondage, the devil has authority in their lives, either through the spiritual status of their leadership or through the individual themselves.
The secular world has no answer for the ills of society? Throw as much money, support and training at a spiritually bound nation, society or individual as you can and they will invariably return everything back to the impoverished state that existed before the received any help. Move an impoverished group into a different nation and they will reduce that nation to the same status within a generation. That is spiritual. But its no just impoverished people that turn back to their broken state. Look at wealthy people, people who have made money their God. They lose their compassion, their humanity and their soul and cannot even see it. Marriages are broken, children are separated, possessions are put first and relationships are destroyed. Then they pick up the pieces and re-start the process to do the same thing all over again.
The most wicked in society rise to the top of this world by selling their soul to the devil. When they have achieved all the wealth and possessions they can gather, they quickly lose interest and turn their attention to exerting power over others. The greater the yielding to the devil, the more authority they seek to assert over others. There is only one reason for this and it is spiritual. Is is the Antichrist spirit at work; to raise up a man to gain total control of the world so as to possess that man and rule humanity through him.
Now, after centuries of defeat to the love and grace of Christ, the devil has again embarked on an ambitious culture change plan in the west to prepare the way for his next effort of world control. Through the controlled media these wicked workers of iniquity intend to change what is right to wrong and visa versa. White, Christian, male is wicked, while gay, feminist, Muslim and occultism are good and wholesome. This and a host of other demonic doctrines are being pushed through all of the media, through education, politics and every sphere of society. In reality its all distortion, lies and deception to corrupt and prepare the weak soul.
Take the push for gay marriage for example. It’s called intolerance, prejudice, hatred and bigotry to not allow gay people to marry. Let’s think about that a minute…. Religion defines marriage as a commitment before God between man and woman. It has established various rules and protocols to be adhered to. People accept these and engage in the ceremonies and vows religious society has put in place for marriage to take place. People outside of religion like what they see and the benefits thereof and begin to submit to the same order.
Then along comes a small, media backed, militant and intolerant minority who decide to enforce change upon religious groups, supposedly to receive acceptance to indulge their own contrary choices. If their endeavor truly was about recognition and equality, gay people wouldn’t need to overthrow the views and beliefs of others. They would be defining their own relationships, their ceremonies and their relational mores with pride and then petitioning the government to grant their unions equal status to that of marriage. That is what happens in a just and tolerant society. But this is not about equality. It is about exerting authority over other people, enforcing change upon them and ultimately ushering in more changes to ultimately change the whole of society.
Already there are instances of three men marrying each other, marrying an animal, even a computer and of course the recent push to bring acceptance to pedophilia and no doubt child brides. The term marriage has been made a mockery and that is the real purpose of the media. It is a corrupt and slippery slope that will allow any group that has control over the media, to dictate any changes to society. Expect nothing less than the total perversion of society to follow.It is the process of degradation of the west that leads to the New World Order utopia of a non Christian, heathen, even Satanic, culture of the past.
Sadly people are easily convinced and persuaded to give up all rights, all standards, all freedoms under the guise of tolerance and equality.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

showtime working on chew tv series
So we've known for a little while that Circle of Confusion, the company behind AMC's The Walking Dead, has been working on a TV series based on John Layman and Rob Guillory's bestselling comic book series Chew.
Chew tells the darkly comic story of federal agent Tony Chu, a "cibopath" able to get psychic impressions from the things he eats, who is asigned to the most unusual and bizarre crimes. The comic book is great, and goes to some really entertaining and gross places.
And now the show has a network. According to Deadline.com, Showtime has bought a script for Chew, described as "a quirky half-hour cop show": Showtime Developing Comedy Series Adaptation Of Comic 'Chew.'
Showtime has bought a script for Chew, a quirky half-hour cop show based on John Layman and Rob Guillory’s bestselling comic book of the same name. Stephen Hopkins is attached to direct and executive produce the project, which hails from Circle of Confusion, the company behind AMC’s hit series adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead.
Terri Hughes Burton and Ron Milbauer (Eureka) wrote the Chew script, which will now be tweaked under Showtime's guidance. Chew tells the darkly comic story of federal agent Tony Chu, a “cibopath” able to get psychic impression from the things he eats who is assigned to the most usual and bizarre crimes. “There are a lot of superhero comic books, but there are not many food comic books," Layman told me back in July when the TV project was still in the nascent stages. Along with Hopkins, Burton, Milbauer, David Engel and Circle of Confusion are also executive producing Chew, with Hopkins' producing partner Kate Garwood expected to produce in some capacity. Hopkins has a longstanding relationship with Showtime: He directed the pilot for the network's dark comedy series Californication and recently helmed an episode of freshman drama Shameless as well as one of Showtime's recently ordered pilots, the Don Cheadle starrer House of Lies.
As I've said before, this news is significant because the comic book's hero is unmistakably an Asian American character. His ethnicity figures into his character development -- there's no way of getting around it. So what I'm saying is, when Chew goes into production, the character better not go through some Hollywood voodoo magic and conveniently turn into a white guy.
So... who should play Tony Chu? From the very beginning, creator John Layman has said that he character's look is based on Ken Leung. Layman even told me himself -- I met him at Comic-Con a couple of years ago -- that if there was ever a TV or movie version of Chew, Leung would be the perfect choice for the the role.
And Ken Leung is a damn good actor. So if we're talking perfect casting, it's him. The only complication is that Ken was recently cast in the A&E drama pilot Big Mike. Dependent on whether or not that show gets picked up, he might not actually even get the chance at being in Chew. I guess we'll see.

IUFRO Board Paves the Way for Attaining Strategic Goals
Posted by theiufroblog in Event No Comments Tagged: 2011, IUFRO World Congress
From 23 to 25 February 2011, more than 50 members of the IUFRO Enlarged Board from 24 countries met in Vienna, Austria, for the 50th IUFRO Board Meeting. This was the first gathering of the new Board that had been elected at the XXIII World Congress in Seoul, Korea, in August 2010, for the period 2010-2014.
The Board welcomed and approved those new members and officeholders that have decided to join IUFRO’s global network, and approved the establishment of various new Research Groups and Working Parties. It appointed IUFRO-SPDC Coordinator Michael Kleine as new Deputy Executive Director and welcomed Jan Heino as IUFRO’s new Development Officer.
The one-day business meeting was followed by a two-day scientific seminar in the nearby Vienna Woods to discuss how the six key research goals of IUFRO and, consequently, the three institutional goals formulated in the IUFRO Strategy 2010-2014 could be attained.
For this purpose, the IUFRO Enlarged Board members concentrated on preparing a roadmap for new Task Forces that would be dealing with the six research goals. Together with the proposed Task Force Coordinators – each of them internationally recognized experts in their respective fields – they identified those thematic areas to which the new interdisciplinary Task Forces can add the most value to both the scientific discourse and policy deliberations. For each theme they also discussed specific entry points for the nine Divisions. The Task Forces will not generate new research but assess and synthesize existing knowledge and identify knowledge gaps. They should not duplicate work that is already underway by other institutions. Forest governance as a cross-cutting issue should be addressed by all Task Forces.
IUFRO key research goals (Task Force Coordinators/Deputies):
Forests for People (Ulrike Pröbstl, BOKU/Perry Brown, University of Montana)
Forests and Climate Change (Frances Seymour, CIFOR/Markku Kanninen, University of Helsinki)
Forest Bioenergy (Rolf Björheden, Skogforsk/Elspeth McRae, Scion)
Forest Biodiversity Conservation (Bryan Finegan, CATIE/Saw Leng Guan, FRIM)
Forest and Water Interactions (Tony Simons, ICRAF/Shirong Liu, Chinese Academy of Forestry)
Resources for the Future (John Innes, UBC/Jung-Hwan Park, KFRI)
As part of the overall roadmap agreed at the seminar, each Task Force will define cross-disciplinary activities and expected outputs and enter them into a realistic time schedule considering the resources that might be needed and identifying potential Task Force members. The Task Force Coordinators were asked to present respective Terms of Reference by early April 2011. Results of the work shall be presented prominently, among a series of other occasions, at the XXIV IUFRO World Congress in autumn 2014 in Salt Lake City, USA.
IUFRO President Niels Elers Koch commented the process confidently, “In the past IUFRO sometimes failed to start Task Forces in the right way. It was often difficult to mobilize the great knowledge and experience available in our Divisions for science-policy interactions. With this meeting, however, we want to capitalize properly on this knowledge and involve the Divisions from the very start. So it seems that we have put the Task Forces on track successfully.“

College Hockey Tournament Watch
posted February 21, 2019 in CommRadio, Sports by Andre Magaro
As the 2018-2019 college hockey regular season winds down, all eyes will look towards the upcoming NCAA tournament. Selection Sunday is less than a month away, and with only sixteen spots up for grabs teams from every conference are looking for resume-boosting wins to climb the Pairwise Rankings, or to get hot at the right time and clinch an automatic berth through their respective conference tournament.
Atlantic Hockey
One of college hockey’s weakest conferences, the Atlantic Hockey Conference has no team ranked even close to the top 16. This conference will likely only have one representative in the NCAA tournament field through its automatic berth.
Currently, No.35 American International College (AIC) seems like the most likely candidate. AIC sits atop the conference standings with 35 points. Potential upset candidates for the conference tournament include Bentley, Air Force and RIT.
Regardless of which team comes out of the Atlantic Hockey Conference, they are almost guaranteed to have the No.16 overall seed in the NCAA tournament field.
The ECAC possesses a solid pool of tournament talent, all of which could adjust their seeding, for better or worse until Selection Sunday.
No.8 Cornell currently holds the top spot in the conference, with No.6 Quinnipiac only one point behind. Both teams could easily play its way into a No.1 seed for a regional
The highest ranked team must play No.12 Clarkson. The Golden Knights are by no means a lock for the NCAA tournament yet but would bolster their case greatly with an upset win over either one of their top 10 conference foes. Clarkson will also likely need to avoid an early upset in the ECAC tournament to ensure they remain high enough in the Pairwise to lock up an at-large bid.
Harvard is currently the last at-large team projected into the field. The No.15 Crimson control their own destiny. Two of Harvard’s final four regular season games are against No.23 Yale and No.20 Union. Wins in both contests could lock up the Crimson’s spot, but defeat may lead to either ECAC bubble team taking their place.
Hockey East
Without a doubt, the Hockey East conference is usually home to some of the best teams the sport has to offer.
Massachusetts is currently atop the Hockey East standings and second nationally. The minutemen have almost certainly solidified a No.1 regional seed on Selection Sunday.
Below Massachusetts sits three bubble teams jockeying for position amongst one another. No.11 Northeastern, No.12 Providence and No.14 UMass-Lowell all have favorable schedules to coast into at-large bids. How these teams fare in the Hockey East tournament may ultimately be the deciding factor in seeding for the NCAA tournament.
A possible dark horse candidate to come out of this conference is the University of New Hampshire. The Wildcats are currently No.24 in the Pairwise and have three matchups against Northeastern yet to be played. However, New Hampshire would likely have to win all three matchups and make a decent run in the Hockey East tournament to have any realistic shot at an at-large bid.
National Collegiate Hockey Conference
The NCHC, much like the Hockey East, runs four teams deep in the NCAA tournament field.
St. Cloud State has battled with Massachusetts for the No.1 overall seed throughout most of the season. Not too far behind those two is NCHC rival and No.3 Minnesota-Duluth. The NCHC continues to showcase its depth, with Denver sitting at No.4 in the Pairwise. No.9 Western Michigan also looks likely to secure a tournament berth.
Western Collegiate Hockey Association
The only lock in the WCHA is No.5 Minnesota State. Look for the Mavericks to possibly snag a No.1 regional seed should Duluth or Denver struggle down the stretch.
Two teams currently sit on the bubble in this conference as well. No.16 Bowling Green is currently the first team out on many projections. No.19 Lake Superior State is also within striking distance, should any at-large teams be upset.
The Big Ten’s depth has ultimately done its teams a disservice. The only lock for the NCAA tournament, Ohio State, played its way out of a No.1 regional spot this weekend, being swept by bubble team Minnesota.
Two more bubble teams, No.17 Notre Dame and No.18 Penn State, wasted a chance to move back into the field with disappointing splits at the weekend. The two sides play at the end of the regular season in a de facto at-large elimination series.
Arizona State is No.8 in the Pairwise and seems poised to make the NCAA tournament for the first time in the program’s brief existence. It will be interesting to see how the Sun Devils’ seeding is affected, lacking a conference tournament.

FILOSOFEM
"Suddenly...life has new meaning." ~Varg Vikernes
There are arguably more potent Burzum recordings but, for me, Filosofem is a deeply personal listening experience that delivers on the esoteric promise of Norwegian Black Metal and never fails to take me places best visited with the lights out. Every repetitive note of this blown-out masterpiece seethes with some unspoken and unspeakable atavistic menace. It is an ordeal at turns utterly primitive, psychedelic, violent, hypnotic, abrasive, archetypal and, ultimately, pathologically transcendental. To put it another way, this is perfect drawing music. Or driving music for that matter. It is a triumph of (first person) singular vision that endures far beyond the morbid fantasies many have come to vicariously associate with its distinctly pallid aura.
As fate would have it, I had only recently arrived in the great Norse West and was literally planting my roots in the fine city of Portland, Oregon around the time that controversial local publisher Adam Parfrey was licensing this gem from Misanthropy Records in England. In 1996 black metal imports were still relatively difficult to find in U.S. shops (not to mention expensive) so the domestic release of Filosofem, with its iconic Theodor Kittelsen cover art, heralded in no uncertain terms the commercial arrival of Scandinavian Black Metal on these shores. It was immediately striking to behold Kittelsen's evocative painting 'Up In The Hills A Clarion Call Rings Out', steeped as it is in a muted wash suggesting the transitional light of dawn or dusk, in the context of an album recorded by a convicted murderer and arsonist. Up until this point most black metal artwork had been just that: black. Such a lucent display of Nordic romanticism was unprecedented in the otherwise shadowy milieu of largely Satanic metal, but the pairing of Burzum's animistic dirges with Kittelsen's beautiful artwork was apt. Consider Kittelsen's reflection on the hardships of the artist's path before his death in 1914:
"Many are the occasions on which it is burdensome to be an artist in Norway, so burdensome that it seems hopeless. But it is no use stopping at that point. One must pick oneself up, and continue. If I did not love Nature so, every flower and every stream, I do not think I would have the energy. Nature is wonderful solace."
Amidst lush illustrations, the Feral House digipack insert also contained a note that English translations of the lyrics and text were available by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to a local post office box. Needless to say, I immediately dropped my envelope in the mailbox and soon received two single-sided pages stapled at the top left corner. The rough translations that arrived were provided by "Greve Drake" who at that time was the guitarist for Goddess of Desire and I had to completely trust his interpretations since I lacked- and still lack- even basic Norwegian or German language skills. The stories in particular were an inspired read and I have returned to them many times over the years. As is the case with all Burzum recordings, there are only the faintest traces in Varg Vikernes' lyrics of his political ideologies which now more or less threaten to eclipse his artistic legacy. Instead we are treated to cryptic fables and sparse simplistic parables that inflame the imagination and, together with the music, invoke a haunting atmosphere of Norse heathen mysticism. But you already know that.
My darling daughter was born just a few months after I purchased Filosofem- in fact, she was born exactly 16 years ago today- and this recording is forever psychically linked to that most profound moment of my young adulthood. I enjoyed countless hours over the following year gently rocking my little one to sleep against my bare chest with 'Rundgang Um Die Transzendentale Saule Der Singularitat' spinning quietly on repeat. Furthermore, 'Jesus' Tod' remains inseparably the soundtrack for midnight rides to the 24-hour copy shop to work on my zine or scan some drawing. Even now I vividly recall unchaining the fence and barreling out of my backyard gate at the Witching Hour, headphones in place beneath my hood, as the double-bass thunders inexorably above the din of tremulous strings and dungeon clatter. Eight minutes of frantic pumping and I am racing through the downpour with my thighs burning and the neon 'Made In Oregon' sign casting shards of light into a thousand dirty puddles collecting in the sidewalk gutters. I imagine abandoned Portland nights with thin sheets of rain and moss-covered rooftops are not entirely unlike the misty dark of some tidy Norwegian seaport. Perhaps it's just the music. On nights like these, completely alone in the desolate night air, this album comes alive like some prodigious specter that, for at least those 64 minutes and 36 seconds, completely swallows the modern world in its terrifying gaping jaws. "For some," as Vikernes so eloquently wrote in the liner notes, "The world finally becomes a place really worth living in."

“Our mission is to accompany families in the education of their sons so that they may reach out towards the plenitude of their human and Christian vocation”
The mission of the Immaculate Conception College of Mery-sur-Marne is deeply anchored in the Christian humanist tradition which is none other than the Christian conception of man. Parents are the foremost and main educators and are responsible for their children’s successful development. However, they have the right to seek professional help for specific needs. We wish to be this relay in the service of parents.
Our school clearly states that by the transmission of culture man finds his true freedom. By assimilating his own cultural heritage, the youngster will deepen the research of truth. A child learns to transmit to others what he has received. This knowledge will permit him to be recognised and valued by others.
A second aspect of our mission consists in associating a demanding level of intellectual work with the harmonious growth and well-being of the boy during his adolescence. Each child is different and each one grows in an autonomous manner. However, irrespective of his pace of growth, each child must fulfil his personality through four fundamental domains: his own body that he must learn to understand, to accept and appreciate; his mind; his relationship with others and the world; his relationship with God.

Welcome to the new Classical Music Guide Online Forums!
Board index Classical Music Guide Online CMG Review of Books
Three by Charles Rosen
A cozy, genteel room to discuss books, authors, and things literary.
Moderators: Lance, Corlyss_D
John F
Post by John F » Mon Jun 13, 2016 11:11 am
The other day, for no particular reason except to pass the time, I reread one of Charles Rosen's pieces in the collection called "Critical Entertainments." Then I read another, and another, then took his second collection of criticism off the shelf and dipped into that. These are not new books, and the essays in them date back as far as 1972, mostly published in the New York Review of Books, but they haven't dated. So I thought I'd recommend them here to any who enjoy reading about music, along with his later book about Beethoven's sonatas:
Critical Entertainments: Music Old and New
Freedom and the Arts: Essays on Music and Literature
Beethoven's Piano Sonatas: A Short Companion
All are in print, though only "Critical Entertainments" is in paperback.
Rosen introduces the first of these by, first of all, identifying his point of view as that of a performer, not a musicologist, and then by saying, "I have written almost exclusively about music that I enjoy. I think it is not always understood that in the criticism of the arts, pleasure is a prerequisite for understanding... At the very least, with any work that we find unsatisfactory, we must comprehend how it gives pleasure to its partisans... The necessity to comprehend love is equally important when one deals, not with works of art, but with ideas. Without understanding how ideas come to be held and how they can inspire passion, any criticism loses its validity."
The contemporary music Rosen likes best is that which many like least. He took part in the second complete recording of Webern's published music, and recorded Boulez's first and third piano sonatas for CBS. (He was to have recorded the second as well, but CBS canceled it when the other Boulez disc didn't become a bestseller. ) I read the essay "Happy Birthday, Elliott Carter!" even though Carter's mature music leaves me cold; Rosen devoted much of it to Carter's sonata for cello and piano, which led me to listen to it on YouTube, and I found I like it. My corollary to Rosen's comments on criticism is that it's most valuable when it encourages people to listen, and least so when it's negative, which discourages listening.
"Entertainments" is apt as a description of Rosen's critical writing, perhaps surprisingly so. Of course his analyses and observations are mostly serious, but humor comes into it too, usually sly and sometimes sharp. I mark up my books and often put a ! next to something that makes me smile or laugh; in the Rosen essays these aren't on every page but are not so far apart. Reviewing Daniel Heartz's book on Mozart's operas: "If I understand Heartz's interpretation of a rising chromatic line correctly, with his shy reference to a sensuality at home somewhere below the breast and the vague suggestion that we are dealing with censorable matters, then I think he is erecting a construction, or constructing an erection, upon a very flimsy foundation. I do not believe a banal chromatic rise of a fourth even played on the G string is all that exciting."
As its subtitle promises, "Freedom and the Arts" is about literature as well as music. Rosen took his undergraduate and graduate degrees not in music but in French literature, and the last six essays are about literature from Montaigne to Auden. (Rosen's last published writing was a review of a new edition of the Restoration dramatist Congreve's complete plays.) Of greater interest, to me anyway, are seven essays mainly about Mozart dating mostly from the anniversary year 1991. Now and then, in these and elsewhere, I caught Rosen out in a minor error of fact, and I'm not the only one as Rosen himself confesses in his headnote to "Radical, Conventional Mozart": "At the opening of the following essay, the mistake of calling Joseph II the emperor Franz Joseph is so egregious that I have let it stand in the text in the hope that the public humiliation will make me more careful in the future." Unfortunately not. But as I said, Rosen's slips are minor and don't affect the substance of his analysis and argument. Finding them is one of the incidental pleasures of reading, when one can imagine for a moment that one is actually smarter than the author. With Rosen, that doesn't last long.
(Incidentally, he springs a surprise in the postscript to a comprehensive review of the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians: "My article on 'Sonata Forms' was rejected, mainly as too speculative, and I rewrote it, quadrupled its size, added all the jokes and examples I had been leaving out, and turned it into a book - which, in fact, beat the 'New Grove' to the press because the editors had a computer which filed articles with foreign accents (like Dvorák) and refused to disgorge them.")
The Beethoven book is a different species of critter. It was "inspired by the invitation to perform all the Beethoven sonatas at the Pontina Festival and to give a seminar on them for the piano students at the summer school in the Caetani castle at Sermoneta." Even though the introduction begins with an extended quotation from Proust, the book is almost entirely about interpretive details that probably only a performer of this music would find compelling or even meaningful, and most listeners are unlikely even to notice. Now and then Rosen takes a wider view, but by and large I didn't get much out of it.
Also provided is a CD of musical examples introduced and played by Rosen, nearly half of them from Mozart rather than Beethoven and concerned with the single tempo indication "allegretto." Toward the end Rosen plays a complete sonata, #22 in F major op. 54; in the finale, which he correctly calls a perpetuum mobile, he takes a perversely slow tempo most of the way and plays the coda lickety split. I know Rosen could play Beethoven well, not only from his recording of the last sonatas but from the first time I heard him, in a Town Hall recital of ca. 1960 which began with the sonata 0p. 110. (Or maybe it was Op. 109? I've lost the program. First time I'd heard the sonata.) But the complete cycle in the Pontina Festival is the only one I know of him playing, and from the op. 54 recording I'd guess it may have been pretty uneven.
I haven't done justice to the scope, depth, and frequent brilliance of Rosen's criticism; I couldn't, and I haven't even tried. But I hope this is inviting enough to encourage some of you to have a read.

Rosen is a demigod. I have long known those works by him. He was however mortal. His little book on Schoenberg is greatly flawed for his explanation that the twelve-tone system was invented because of an inevitable need for chromaticity to be filled. Nobody to my knowledge can explain modern composers. We're just lucky that within our lifetime there have been a few of great use. Within two generations, the art will be entirely antiquarian. I hate it, but the universe has not promised us an eternity of great art.
There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
-- Johann Sebastian Bach

That sounds like Schoenberg's own justification of his move to atonality. Can you say if Rosen is quoting or paraphrasing Schoenberg, or if this is his personal view? I haven't read the book and don't own it. Anyway, Rosen makes statements here and there throughout his books that seem wrong to me, or at least that I disagree with, but they are nonetheless so rewarding in so many ways that I don't really mind.
For example, Rosen studied for years with Moriz Rosenthal, who was old enough to have studied with Liszt and earned Brahms's approval. Rosen says Rosenthal told him that Brahms always played chords arpeggio, which greatly surprised me. About Liszt's teaching, however, all Rosenthal said was that it was hard to get Liszt to leave the cafe and go back to the studio.

I'm sure it was Rosen's own justification and not a quotation, direct or otherwise, from Schoenberg. It's funny that Brahms would come up, because IIRC he was the last great composer Rosen ever wrote about. (I'm not even sure that he ever did.) His book on Romantic music stops before Brahms.
I had a high school classmate whose piano teacher was not dear old Mrs. Troidle. This teacher knew Rosen well enough to invite him to Cornwall to give a talk that was not above heads of high school students. Alas, I only found out about it afterward and missed my opportunity.
BTW, in the interest of full disclosure and honesty, I re-read your post and realize now that there are a couple of things there I am not familiar with. I was too hasty in my response. Thanks for bringing them to our attention.

You're right that Rosen doesn't say much about Brahms in "The Romantic Generation" - a strange omission one would think. In the Preface he says, "In these writings on music from the death of Beethoven to the death of Chopin, I have limited myself to those composers whose characteristic styles were defined in the late 1820s and early 1830s." This is evidently what Rosen meant by his title "The Romantic Generation"; Brahms, born in 1833, was of a later generation, and so were Verdi and Wagner. This book was not, then, intended as a survey of the whole Romantic movement. Maybe Rosen's scope was limited by the book's origin as the six Charles Eliot Norton Lectures at Harvard, which I was told led to a first draft of the book far shorter than what it later became. But Rosen did write three very interesting essays on Brahms, discussing among other things the awkward difficulty of his piano writing, which Rosen argues was deliberate and purposeful.
I'm sure Rosen would disagree that he wrote about no great composers after Brahms. In his view, Schoenberg is a great composer, and he wrote two essays about Elliott Carter, whom he clearly thinks of as a great composer. But most of his essays are either book reviews or occasional pieces, and he didn't go out of his way to write about composers just because he thought they were important or great. Maybe a last Rosen collection will appear from Harvard University Press, the publisher of the other collections - I'd certainly welcome it.
Well now I really have read all or most of those things, or think I have. I do remember his comments on the difficulties of the little-know Brahms etudes, which sometimes require the fourth finger crossing the fifth. (This is also, BTW, true of some of the Bach Trio Sonatas.) And I remember his rapturous recollection of playing the Carter Concerto for Piano and Harpsichord, which he considered a masterpiece. What I retain in my mind of what he said of Verdi was that this composer succeeded in converting a trash aesthetic into great art, a very insightful remark that I doubt Lenny Goran would agree with. (He also wrote extensively on the not very well known influence of Bellini on Chopin.)

About Brahms's writing for the piano, I remember the first time I heard his first concerto. It was an open rehearsal at Tanglewood with Leon Fleisher, whom I'd read about but hadn't heard. I was really struck by the fortissimo piano trills in the first movement's main theme, which were brilliant as Fleisher played them. In other recordings and performances the trills sounded duller and a bit disappointing; Fleisher's recording remains my favorite after 50 years, not least because of George Szell's thrilling way with the opening ritornello.
Many years later, in one of those Rosen essays, I read:
Charles Rosen wrote: The best example of [pianistic devices that cruelly stretch the hands or make exorbitant demands on the weakest fingers] is his frequent employment of a trill for the fourth and fifth fingers with an added octave for the thumb. [musical quotation] This is from the opening movement of the Piano Concerto no. 1 in D minor... Most of the trills quoted here are negotiable although hard to play with the brilliance and grand resonance demanded by the character of the piece, but the last one in bar 116 - an octave D with the fifth finger on an E flat - is wickedly difficult for the average hand as it traps the fourth finger between two black keys and makes the rapidity and sonority of the trill questionable. Many pianists, including Artur Schnabel, have rewritten these trills in the following Lisztian fashion: [divides the trill between both hands playing alternate octaves] But it was precisely to avoid the brilliant Lisztian sonority that Brahms asked for less effective trills which integrate more easily with the musical texture. There is also an essential aesthetic difference: the Lisztian version is easy to execute and it sounds difficult; Brahms prefers a greater difficulty partially concealed in order to avoid the appearance of virtuosity.
Leon Fleisher was a Schnabel pupil and plays the concerto, or that part of it, as his teacher did. The piece was one of his earliest successes, and when he finally returned to two-handed playing, it was the second concerto he performed in public after Mozart #12. In this YouTube clip of a Radio Italiana performance, he manages the trills well enough, I think he plays them in Brahms's way this time but I'm not sure, but after a few performances he dropped the concerto from his repertoire.
The rehearsal had an amusing moment in the finale, where Brahms has written an extended fugato passage which the pianist sits out silently. Fleisher was so absorbed in listening to this, or maybe his mind was wandering, that he forgot to come in. Laughter from him and some of the orchestra, and he and Monteux picked up at his entrance.
I keep remembering things like this from long ago. The reason I have them to remember is my parents' love of classical music; it's they who stopped off at Tanglewood on the way back from a trip to look over the Harvard campus. So classical music came easily to me, and I admire those who found their own way to it despite their parents' indifference or dislike.

Fleisher, as you know, was a Baltimorean. Many years ago I heard his son perform at the Park School as Bunthorne in Patience. His voice had not yet changed, but he was beyond sensational, including the acting part.

Tony Becca: Ramdin had to go
Leave a Comment on Tony Becca: Ramdin had to go
The West Indies last week announced their squad for a short two-Test tour of Sri Lanka, and the selectors, headed by former captain Clive Lloyd, stepped up to the plate and delivered, at least in one aspect. The selectors, apparently all to a man, decided that it was time for Denesh Ramdin to go and for young Jason Holder to take over as the Test captain, and the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), despite the insular views of Azim Bassarath, the president of the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board, bought into the idea. Ramdin had to go. He never produced neither as a captain nor as a batsman. He always, for example, sent the opposition to bat, regardless of the conditions or the state of the pitch, whenever he won the toss, and he usually loses the match. He also batted, most of the time, as if he believed that he was a better batsman than he actually was. Either that, or he just did not know when to attack and when to defend. He also talked too much, saying silly things like, “taking the positives”, “playing with pride”, “back to the drawing board” and “play pressure cricket”. He never said anything worthwhile, or to the point, or hardly anything which made sense. On top of that, he never looked the part as a West Indies captain, not even of the present team. Twice, at least, he embarrassed West Indies cricket and himself. Once, in 2012, when he scored a century at Edgbaston and immediately took a note scribbled with remarks aimed at Viv Richards out of his pocket and held it for the TV cameras to pick up; and again at The Oval, in 2013, when he claimed a catch – which he never made – off Misbah-Ul-Haq of Pakistan. He was suspended for two matches and fined for the indiscretions. Holder, at age 23 and with only eight Test matches under his belt, may be considered too young to be the West Indies captain, but as Lloyd has said, “the time had come for a change”. Lloyd never said it, but the selectors also had no choice. Holder is young, so is his deputy, Kraigg Brathwaite, but the truth is that the West Indies team is a relatively young team, someone had to do the job, and there is no one better or good enough at this time. Holder once led the Barbados Youth team. He is a bright young man, and he promises to develop into a good captain and leader in the near future. West Indies cricket needs a leader at this stage, just as it needs a captain; and providing he does not behave as if he knows all about the game, providing he is willing to listen to people like Lloyd himself, manager Richie Richardson and coach Curtly Ambrose, West Indies cricket should be in good hands for some time. Holder is not only a promising captain and leader, but he is also a promising pace bowler, one who moves the ball about, one who could get faster and better once he corrects his action and straightens his left leg at the moment of delivery. He is also a promising batsman, one good enough to have scored a century for Barbados in Youth cricket and for the West Indies in Test cricket. Holder is an all-rounder in the making. He undoubtedly promises to be the best West Indies captain for some time, better than Shivnarine Chanderpaul, better than Chris Gayle, better than Ramnaresh Sarwan and better also than Darren Ganga. Darren Sammy was a good captain, and he represented the West Indies well as a captain. His problem with the captaincy was that, as the captain, whose place was reserved, he left the team short of a batsman and short of a bowler. As an all-rounder, he was simply not good enough, either as a batsman or as a bowler, to stay in a Test team. Holder, however, looks good, both as bowler and as a batsman; good enough to be the fifth bowler and good enough to bat at number seven on the Test team. Lloyd and his team have undoubtedly delivered for the West Indies as it relates to the captain of the team. The selection of the squad, however, raises some eye-brows. At first glance, the team looks weak and not the best available. On second thought, however, it looks the best available, even with the inclusion of Rajindra Chandrika, Shai Hope, Jomel Warrican, and Shane Dowrich, unless he has been selected as backup for wicketkeeper Ramdin. Looking at the present crop of West Indian batsmen, however, the selectors may have decided that one like Kirk Edwards is not good enough, that one like Leon Johnson is also not good enough, that neither Jonathan Carter nor Assad Fudadin is considered good enough, and preferred to stick with Chandrika and Hope in spite of their dismal failure against Australia, their exceptional pace and their prodigious swing. On top of that, every man, once he was selected one time, deserves a second chance. On almost every touring team there is usually one or two surprise selections, and this time, that surprise, apart from Chandrika and Hope, is left-arm spinner Warrican, who grabbed a bag-full of wickets last season, including hauls of eight for 72 versus Jamaica at Sabina Park and eight for 88 and five for 50 against the Leeward Islands in Basseterre. Suleiman Benn, Veersammy Permaul and Nikita Miller, and especially Miller, who year after year picked up so many wickets in the regional four-day competition, must feel cheated out of a place on the squad. At ages 34, 26, and 33, however, the selectors may have opted for youth in their attempt to take West Indies cricket back to the top, or as close to it as possible. It is a pity that Ronald Beaton of Guyana, once so promising as a young fast bowler, has taken so long to develop, and that the left-handed Sheldon Cottrell of Jamaica has also been marking time. read more
Appeals court orders retrial for Ffriend
Leave a Comment on Appeals court orders retrial for Ffriend
Ffriend, speaking exclusively to The Gleaner, said his lawyer explained that the appeals court ordering a retrial could work to his benefit. “He said me going back was a positive thing. He said the appeal judges realised that mistakes were made and the first judge has to correct them because the procedure was not fair to me,” Ffriend said. The Gleaner understands that the appeals court threw out the first verdict, which could mean that if Ffriend is found guilty after retrial he could face a more severe sentence, but in practice, he is likely to end up with the same sentence or a reduced one. However, because of the ruling of the appeals court, Ffriend’s legal team has ‘the wind at their backs’ as the prosecution’s case has been weakened by the ruling. A Serbian Appeals Court has ordered a retrial of the vehicular manslaughter case against Jamaican basketball player Kimani Ffriend, citing mistakes made by the judge who heard the initial trial, which concluded last year with the Jamaican getting a three-year sentence. The 36-year-old Ffriend, who had been in custody since November 2012 and under house arrest since August 2013, had his ankle bracelet removed late last week and is free to move about while he awaits a new trial date. However, he is to report to the police on the first and 15th of the month. There were no available details on whether there were other conditions of Ffriend’s freedom as his lawyers had not yet received official documentation from the appeals court. He was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment in September 2014 for the death of Nevena Dragutinovic, a 30-year-old account executive. She was struck by a car being driven by the Jamaican along France Street in Belgrade at about 4 a.m. on Saturday, November 3, 2012, shortly after she alighted from a taxi cab, which had reportedly stopped in the middle of the road. Her boyfriend and sister were also passengers in the cab from which she alighted and testified against Ffriend in court. unfair procedure read more
STETHS face tricky assignment against BB Coke
Leave a Comment on STETHS face tricky assignment against BB Coke
B.B. Coke are seeking to do the double over the more highly rated STETHS, who they tagged 1-0 on September 22. But playing STETHS at STETHS is a difficult proposition, as they are yet to be defeated at home so far this season. Their troubles, it would seem, happens on their travels. The least they are entertaining is a draw against B.B. Coke, which, if other results go their way, will mean they maintain second place in the group. Lacovia also face a tricky assignment, when they welcome Maggotty to their ground, while Munro (13 points) should be favourites for all three points against lowly opposition in Newell (two points). Another interesting matchup is in Group A, where St James High, second in the standings on 11 points, tackle third in group, Green Pond High (four points), for a place in the next round. The Theodore ‘Tappa’ Whit-more-coached contingent can secure group honours if they defeat the once-promising Green Pond to overtake already-qualified Cornwall College (12 points). – Paul Clarke WESTERN BUREAU: Last year’s beaten daCosta Cup finalists, St Elizabeth Technical High School (STETHS), have their fate in their own hands, and a date against the unpredictable B.B. Coke doesn’t make things any easier, as they take aim at each other in today’s penultimate Group E fixture, which is scheduled for the STETHS playing field in Santa Cruz. This group is proving to be one of the toughest to separate the teams, with only seven points between first-place holders Lacovia High School (16 points) and fifth-place team Maggotty (nine). With all that to be considered, STETHS (15 points) need to secure another victory today to keep the pressure on Lacovia, Munro and B.B.

Laurie Foster: Protecting Fuller’s legacy
Leave a Comment on Laurie Foster: Protecting Fuller’s legacy
Last Saturday, Manchester High School hosted the fourth staging of the Charlie Fuller Memorial field events meet. It was founded through the concept to relive the memory of a man who gave sterling support to track and field at the mid-island institution. The chief person who conceptualised the meet, still the engine that drives the event, is the former outstanding sprinter out of the neighbouring parish’s St Elizabeth Technical High School, Carlos Samuels. Issues of coaching leadership at the school have led Samuels elsewhere. Although he works assiduously to ensure otherwise, there is no doubt that the image of the event, could be tarnished. Fuller was a sporting personality, whose contribution to the upliftment and empowerment of the female track and field programme at Manchester High knew no limits. However, there were no geographic boundaries. This columnist recalls a trip to visit the Falmouth home of a girl from Vere Technical, who had been granted a track scholarship, just to offer congratulations and wish bon voyage. MEMORABLE SUNDAY Then came the thought that her younger teammate, slightly errant at times, would benefit from the trip as a motivational tool. The fact that the latter miss lived in Kingston was no hurdle. The stout-hearted benefactor, as was Fuller, journeyed from his Manchester home to the city, collected the young athlete, drove to Trelawny for the visit, returned to Kingston for the drop-off, and made his way home all in one memorable Sunday. The incidents of selflessness, displaying single-minded dedication to the female athletes at “Chester” were numerous. The accompanying, domestic deprivation is best described by his devoted wife, Olive. With what Mr Fuller gave to Manchester High during the years he substantially funded the track and field programme the areas of controversy surrounding the introduction and subsequent staging of the meet are unfortunate. There is a threatening situation that needs to be set right if the memory of the peaceful and non-contentious individual is to be adequately maintained. As this column is being written, former head coach Samuels has taken up duties at a Kingston school. This as the Mandeville school administration ponders an altercation between his assistant, Rahnsomn Edwards, and him. Reports are that there was a physical confrontation and both were placed on suspension. Previous to that development, former head coach Jerry Holness returned from stints overseas and resumed his position, displacing Samuels, who, from all reports, had endeared himself to the athletes. Tales of a fallout in enthusiasm are rife a testimony to the influence Samuels had, and presumably, still has, even from a position external to the programme. Holness, now seemingly firmly in the saddle, has gone for another experienced coach as his assistant in Duane Jarrett. Jarrett was his deputy in the first overseas stint in Dubai. CLOUDS OF UNCERTAINTY With so many offers for Samuels’ talent as a coach and motivator of athletes, it is unlikely that his services will again be available to the Manchester team. What seems more likely is that with or without his invitation, some will want to take up residence within his new programme if logistically permissible. With all these clouds of uncertainty, where does this leave the event held to commemorate the excellence promoted and sustained by Fuller that was Manchester High School under his canopy of passionate support and stewardship? It must be remembered that even the inception of the event was contested by the organisers of the long-standing JAAA/Puma Invitational, held simultaneously crosstown at Kirkvine. They were not amused that competition would be coming from persons who once were aligned to their event. It is to the credit of the opposing parties and some fruitful dialogue following disruptive stand-offs that good sense triumphed and they can now coexist. An existing destructive culture may not allow this harmony to persist. Whatever happens, the CFMFEM should not suffer. The legacy of Charlie, his spirit of goodwill and malice to no one, need to be sustained. Foster’s Fairplay issues a fervent call for constant interaction with the parties to lift and sustain the positive direction in which the meet is now trending. It is incumbent on these stakeholders to ensure that this takes place. Do not allow the memory of this great man to be sullied in any way. – For Feedback, email: lauriefoster2012@gmail.com read more
GC Foster 400-metre double pleases Wilson
Leave a Comment on GC Foster 400-metre double pleases Wilson
Verone Chambers and Demish Gaye won the women’s and men’s 400m sprints at the Jamaica Intercollegiate Track and Field Championships with performances that pleased Maurice Wilson, their coach, at the G.C. Foster College of Physical Education and Sports. Both set personal bests to win at 51.70 and 45.24 seconds, respectively. The happy coach had high praises for each of them. Chambers, a former Edwin Allen High School and Oklahoma Baptist University track athlete, overtook Dawnalee Loney of the Mico University College in front of an appreciative National Stadium audience to give G.C. Foster the women’s crown. “I’m very happy that we were able to assist Verone Chambers because she made the decision to come to Jamaica to train with me, so I felt I had an obligation to her,” Wilson said. “So I am very, very happy with the results,” he said after the compact 28-year-old Chambers had broken 52 seconds for the first time. EQUALLY PLEASED He was equally pleased after Gaye retained his 400m title. The newcomer was fancied for a place in Jamaica’s Olympic 4x400m relay pool last year, but was derailed by the Zika virus. “I’m very happy with his performance”, Wilson smiled, “and after he ran today, I was saying to myself, how am I going to make sure that he’s kept healthy, and that is an important responsibility I have to monitor.” Gaye recently cut his best 200m time to 20.52 seconds. In reference to the progress he has made, the coach commented, “He has been doing everything that has been asked of him, so he deserves the best.” Presented with the observation that the 24-year-old Gaye has short pitter-patter steps, the coach thoughtfully replied with a reference to the running styles of two Olympic champions. “Well, Michael Johnson was different”, he offered. “Lashawn Merritt is different, so once I keep getting that speed out of those legs,” he proposed, “I don’t think there is much to change.” Gaye also helped G.C. Foster to win the 4x400m relay with a whirlwind anchor leg timed in 44.2 seconds. The focus for the fast pair seems to be the National Senior Championships in June. “We still have, in my opinion, two months to go before what I would term would be our major meet,” Wilson analysed, “but I’m extremely happy because it has been a long journey.” read more

Leave a Comment on Tastee aids success-hungry Cavalier U15s
“We are proud to assist the Cavalier U-15 team in their aspirations towards their goals of greatness. Tastee has always been integral in the development of our youth though sports and being able to assist the Cavalier team was right in line with our organisational goal.” Foster said. Meanwhile, Cavalier SC U-15 coach, Baris Johnson is expecting a great performance from the team. “We are going there to perform well. The club won the Under-14 tourney there last year and this year the hope is to emulate that victory,” Johnson told The Gleaner. He is also hopeful that the players will impress and be seen by some bigger clubs. “We want to catch the eyes of the bigger teams that will be participating at the tournament,” he added. The Cayman Invitational Cup will commence today and involves 12 teams including Manchester City of England. The Cavalier team will depart for the Cayman Islands tomorrow and will play their opening game against IMG Academy at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex on the same day, starting at 5 p.m. Cavalier will oppose Alchemy the following day and close off their Group A fixture against the Cayman National team on Friday. The teams in Group B are: Manchester City, DC United, Trinidad and Tobago and Houston Dynamo; Group C comprise: The Bahamas, LA Leiba FC, Cuba Federation and Harbour View of Jamaica. RIGHT IN LINE Local fast food chain Tastee handed over $150,000 to Cavalier SC to help their participation in the Cayman Airways International Under-15 Youth Football Cup next week in the Cayman Islands. Alessandro Boyd of Tastee’s marketing department made the presentation to chairman of Cavalier SC, Rudolph Speid on Saturday at the Alpha Institute. Speid said that Tastee’s sponsorship has helped the club tremendously as expenses continue to be one of the biggest challenges they face. “This trip, excluding tickets, will cost US $10,000 and sponsorships like these help us to allow players at this age group to gain international exposure, which is a part of their pathway to develop properly by playing against some of the best players in the world at an early age. We will be able to gauge our progress against players who have been exposed to some of the best training facilities in the world,” Speid said. Ryan Foster, Group CEO at Tastee, said that he was pleased with Cavaliers’ youth development programme and the level of success that the team has had to date. read more

We’re still not giving a total team effort. That’s going to be our focus in the second round,” the Knights mentor said in Filipino.ADVERTISEMENT Down at the cellar at one point of the season at 1-3, Letran has went on to rack up four straight victories before Lyceum halted that run, 75-68, on Friday.It was undeniable that Jeo Ambohot’s wrist injury, which he got in the Knights’ last game against San Sebastian, may have had a hand in the recent loss as the team scampered to fill up the hole left in the middle.FEATURED STORIESSPORTSEnd of his agony?

We still depend on our main guys to play heavy minutes and that’s where we suffered,” he said. “But the players are still positive. We just have to adjust and check the mindset of our players, especially the ones on the bench, for them to recall their roles.”Napa ended: “Every game, we learn a lot.

McKinney (center) with his nieces Jackie (to his right) and Brittney (to his left).
McKinney at the podium at the Texas Straw Poll.
Raymond L. "Ray" McKinney (born June 20, 1962) is a mechanical engineer from Savannah, Georgia and a candidate for U.S. Congress. He was also a candidate for U.S. President in the 2008 Republican primary, but withdrew on November 14, 2007.
3 Presidential campaign
McKinney is a nuclear services manager for Continental Field Systems in Savannah, Georgia. He was voted "most likely to become a nuclear scientist" when he was at Effingham County High School in Georgia, according to an article in the Effingham Herald.[1]
McKinney's educational background includes graduating Effingham County Public High School, 2 years Gulfstream Aerospace machinist training, 2 years Tool and Die, CFS machinist training, and (through 1990) 2 years at Savannah for Electro-Mechanical Engineering. He has been in the industry for the last 23 years.
When asked about his educational and work experience as a tool and die maker and a mechanical engineer, McKinney had this to say about his choice of career:
I think I prefer the term "machinist" above all but my wife thinks I put myself down by saying that. It is the proudest part of my skill set though. Her point is that people respect higher education and by telling people that I am a machinist that they have a lower opinion of who I am. Actually, I am quite proud of it.
His thoughts on skilled trades and why they are good knowledge and experience for someone to have:
Having a skill is like hitting the lottto. You will always have a job, you will always be able to earn a living. It is something that no one can ever take away. You can be a manager all you want, but if you ever go back to your tools you will always be able to find work. College is great but coupled with a skill, that is the golden ticket.
McKinney (right) greets the delegation at the Texas Republican Straw Poll September 1, 2007, on stage with Rep. Duncan Hunter (left), Hugh Cort (center), and Tina Benkiser (back turned).
McKinney, in a surprise performance, bested Sen. John McCain, Sen. Sam Brownback, and Rep. Tom Tancredo in the Texas Straw Poll held September 1, 2007, in Fort Worth, Texas. McKinney carried 28 delegate votes, or 2.2%.[2]
Along with his mother, he gave complimentary blood pressure checks at a booth at the Fort Worth Convention Center during the straw poll, and addressed the delegates during the main session prior to voting along with candidates Rep. Duncan Hunter of California, Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, Alabama psychiatrist Hugh Cort, and Illinois lawyer John H. Cox.[3]
During his campaign, McKinney often had the highest ranking at U4Prez.com of all candidates registered with the Federal Election Commission. McKinney ended his bid for the presidential race on November 14, 2007, announcing his intention to run for U.S. Congress from Georgia. On July 15, 2008, McKinney lost the Republican primary to John Stone.

1 Gilbert Community School District Gilbert, Iowa Student Eligibility for Extra-Curricular Activities Good Conduct Rule The Board of Directors of the Gilbert Community School District offers a variety of voluntary activities designed to enhance the classroom education of its students. Students who participate in extra-curricular activities serve as ambassadors of the school throughout the calendar year, whether away from or at school. Students who wish to exercise the privilege of participating in extra-curricular activities must conduct themselves in accordance with board policy and must refrain from activities that are illegal, unhealthy, or highly inappropriate. Participation in extracurricular activities is a privilege, conditioned upon meeting the eligibility criteria established by the board, administration, and individual activity coaches and sponsors. The Principal shall keep records of violations of the Good Conduct Policy. Benefits of extracurricular activities: The Board of Education believes the extracurricular program (grades 7-12) provides the opportunity for significant benefits for participants. The Board actively supports our extracurricular program and encourages as many students as possible to participate. The Board believes extracurricular activities provide students with the opportunity to: 1. Compete and associate with students from other schools. 2. Develop skills not found in curriculum. 3. Gain contentment from leisure time. 4. Achieve recognition and develop a positive self-image. 5. Develop desirable attributes and good citizenship. 6. Broaden perspectives and outlooks. 7. Participate in group activities and become part of a team. Individuals may benefit in other ways. Emphasis is placed on the word opportunity because the Board believes only students can transform this opportunity into reality. The School can make programs available, but only students can take full advantage of these activities. The following activities are covered by the School Board s policy and these rules: Athletics, un-graded instrumental and vocal music performances, cheerleading, drama productions, speech contest(s), FFA, FCCLA, National Honor Society, all extra-curricular clubs, all honorary and elected offices (e.g., Homecoming, King/Queen/court, Prom, King/Queen/court, class officer, student government, officer or representative, graduation student speakers), state contests and performances, mock trial, academic decathlon, or any other activity where the student represents the school outside of the classroom.
2 Academic Eligibility To be eligible for an activity, students participating must: be enrolled or dual-enrolled in school; have earned passing grades in at least four full-time classes the previous semester; be earning passing grades in all classes in the current quarter; for students in athletics, music, or speech activities, be under 20 years of age; for students in athletics, music, or speech activities, be enrolled in high school for eight semesters or less; for students in athletics, have not been a member of a college squad nor trained with a college squad, nor participated in a college contest nor engaged in that sport professionally; have met all transfer requirements, if the student is a transfer student, or eligible under state law and regulations if the student is an open enrollment student. Special education students shall not be denied eligibility on the basis of scholarship if the student is making adequate progress, as determined by the IEP team, towards the goals and objectives on the Student s IEP. Students involved in extra-curricular activities are subject to academic guidelines set forth by their respective governing organization and the rule of the state board of education. Students must pass all classes that they are enrolled in at the conclusion of each semester, commonly referred to as no pass, no play. The ineligibility period for a student that fails to meet this standard will be 30 calendar days in athletics, non-graded music activities, and speech. All ineligibility periods begin on the date report cards are issued, if a student is not involved in an activity on the date of issue, they will serve their ineligibility during their next activity, for athletics the period begins on the first legal playing date (not the first day of practice). Attendance: A. Illness: Students who miss part of the school day due to illness must be in attendance at school by 11:21 a.m. (or the beginning of 5 th period on non-regular scheduled days) for high school students and by 11:30 a.m. (or the beginning of 4 th period) for middle school students and stay in class for the remainder of the day in order to participate (in a contest, practice, or school sponsored social event held on the same day). This includes taking part in after school practice sessions. B. Other Reasons: Students who miss school for reasons other than illness must have their absences excused prior to the day they will miss, either in writing, by phone, or in person to be eligible for that day s events as either a participant or a spectator. The Principal or Designee has the discretion to allow participation the day of the event, without an excused absence from the prior day, only after direct contact with the student s parents. C. Truancy and unexcused absences: will eliminate a student s eligibility to participate until the student resumes attendance and the truancy or unexcused absence is resolved.
3 Good Conduct Policy To maintain eligibility for participation in Gilbert extra-curricular activities, students must conduct themselves as good citizens both in and out of school at all times. Students who represent the school in an activity are expected to serve as good role models to other students and to the members of the community. If a student transfers into Gilbert from another school or school district and the student had not yet completed a period of ineligibility for a violation of a Good Conduct Rule in the previous school, the student shall serve the ineligibility requirements from the previous school district before becoming eligible to participate in extracurricular activities at Gilbert. DETERMINATION OF VIOLATION: Gilbert school administration will make the determination if a student has violated the Good Conduct Policy, and such determination will not require a legal conviction in a court of law. Any student accused of violating this Good Conduct Policy shall be provided an informal hearing by a school administrator at which time the student shall be informed of the allegation, informed of the basis of the allegation, and given an opportunity to tell the student s side. School administrators will determine by a preponderance of the evidence whether a student violated this good Conduct Policy by engaging in any of the following behaviors. Any violations also may be reported to law enforcement, to other school personnel, or to the student and/or his or her parents. possession, use, or purchase of tobacco products, regardless of the student s age; possession, use, or purchase of alcoholic beverages, including beer or wine, or participation with other students in such activities; possession, use, purchase, or attempted sale/purchase of illegal drugs, or the unauthorized possession, use, purchase or attempted sale/purchase of otherwise lawful drugs without a prescription, or participation with other students in such activities; engaging in any act that would be grounds for arrest or citation in the criminal or juvenile court system (excluding minor offenses such as traffic or hunting/fishing violations), regardless of whether the student was cited, arrested, convicted, or adjudicated for the act(s); engaging in other inappropriate or offensive conduct such as assault, insubordination, refusing to cooperate with school officials or law enforcement authorities, hazing or harassment of others, etc. Note: this could include group conduct. Any student whose conduct, either in or out of school, is such as to make him or her unworthy to represent the ideals, principles and standards of the Gilbert Community Schools, shall be declared ineligible to participate in extracurricular activities by the administration. For the purposes of this policy, having the odor of alcohol on one s breath is evidence of use. Possession includes actual possession and constructive possession where the item is within reach of
4 the student or in close proximity to the student and/or otherwise subject to the student s immediate control (e.g. alcohol placed in the trunk of a car by a student who is operating the car). Participation includes being in attendance at a function or party where the student knows or has reason to know that alcohol or other drugs are being consumed illegally by minors and failing to promptly leave despite having reasonable opportunity to do so. This participation rule is sometimes called a mere presence rule.

The Good Conduct Policy is in effect for twelve months of the year. 1.

Students also will be required to perform community service following a second offense (25 hours) and a third offense (125 hours) A student who is a member of a vocal and/or instrumental music group, flag corps/color guard, and/or speech/will be withheld from performing, including competitions, for a corresponding period of time to be determined by the principal/designee and director/sponsor. Time frames for application and enforcement - (Pertains to items 1-4) A student may become ineligible at a time when he or she is not participating in any extra-curricular activity. In this case the period of ineligibility begins as soon as the student does become a participant any time in the next twelve-month period. The percentage of ineligibility will be determined by the total number of regular season varsity contests that are scheduled for that sport. The math rules of rounding will be applied. For example: 25% of 9 regularly scheduled football games are 2.25 games. The athlete would miss 2 games of the season. 50% of 21 regularly scheduled basketball games are 10.5 games. The athlete would miss 11 games of the season. If a student is involved in one athletic/cheerleading activity and one non-athletic activity, the penalty will be applied to both activities in which the student is participating. If a student is involved in more than one non-athletic activity, the directors/sponsors of those activities and the administration shall meet to combine consequences for those activities. Students are expected to attend practice during a time of ineligibility. Also, if a student is ineligible at any time while participating in a sport, that student must complete the entire season in order for any/all of the ineligibility to be deleted through participation in that sport. Exceptions may be granted because of extenuating circumstances such as injury or extended illness. Student conduct during interscholastic competition In addition to any other portions of this policy any student who is disqualified from an interscholastic contest by game officials for flagrant, violent, or verbal misconduct will be ineligible for the next regularly scheduled game/meet at that level of competition and all other games/meets in the interim at any level. The second violation carries four regularly scheduled games/meets ineligibility. (In instances of doubleheaders or double duals, etc.; the student is penalized for any remaining activity on that day, as well as the next regularly scheduled contest.) If penalties are imposed at the end of the season and no contest remains, the penalty is carried over in that particular sport until the next school year. The penalty is not imposed from one sport program to the next sport program, unless the student is a senior. Then the penalty is carried over to the next sport program in which that student participates. This policy is in effect in all interscholastic contests, grades Also, any student intentionally striking an official shall be immediately suspended for the duration of that athletic season. For a second offense the student shall be suspended from all interscholastic athletic activities for the duration of his/her school career.
8 Any student that is disqualified from an event is required to meet with the Principal and Athletic Director before the student becomes eligible to participate. Reduction in Penalty: 1. Evaluation and Treatment: A student who has a second violation of the alcohol or drug provision of the Good Conduct Policy Rule may elect to seek an evaluation and, if recommended, treatment from a recognized substance abuse facility at the student s or student s family s expense. If the student seeks evaluation and agrees to waive confidentiality to allow the evaluating facility to report back to the superintendent or designee regarding recommendations for treatment or follow up care, the student s penalty for the second violation may be reduced by one/half of the penalty. This reduction is not available for first or third violations. 2. Admission Prior to Determination: If a student comes forward to a coach, administrator, or activity sponsor to admit (self-report) a violation of the Good Conduct Rule prior to the date on which a meeting is held with the student and administrator on the alleged violations, the student s penalty may be reduced by ½ for a first violation, by ¼ for a second violation, or ¼ of a third violation within the student s high school career. The reduction in penalty is only the time period. The community service will remain the same. 3. Items 1 and 2 of this section may not be combined. 4. A student who has been found to have violated the provisions described above prohibiting conduct that would be grounds for arrest or citation, or conduct that is inappropriate or offensive, may seek to reduce the penalty by entering into a Behavior Agreement. The agreement shall be in writing and shall include, but not be limited to, a written apology for the student s behavior to affected parties and, restitution where appropriate. The degree of reduction of the penalty in such situations shall rest with the administrator, but in no event shall the reduction exceed one-half of the penalty. 5. A student who violates the mere presence provision of this policy shall serve no more than one-half of the established penalty for the first, second, or third/subsequent violation. Violations occurring during a period of ineligibility: If a student is ineligible at the time of a violation of the Good Conduct Policy, the penalty for the violation will not begin until the student regains eligibility. Example 1: a student is academically ineligible for a quarter or semester is found to have been in possession of tobacco, a Good Conduct Rule violation. When the student is again academically eligible, the penalty attaches. Example 2: a student violates the Good Conduct Policy and is ruled ineligible for three games/contests. While ineligible, the student again violates the rule. The second penalty attaches when the first penalty is completed. Other disciplinary action: There will be no other regular school disciplinary or academic consequences for the violation (e.g., detention, suspension, expulsion from school, or grade reduction/withholding) unless the violation of the Good conduct rule occurred (a.) on school grounds, (b.) at a school event regardless of location, or (c.) the violation has a direct and immediate negative impact on the efficient operation of the school despite occurring off school grounds/time.
9 Letters and Awards: Students who are ineligible at the conclusion of an activity shall not receive a letter or award for that activity. Infractions involving students who are simultaneously involved in multiple activities: For those students who are simultaneously involved in athletic, athletic-related, and non-athletic activities, violation of this policy will result in a period of ineligibility under all programs and activities. Other rules by coaches or sponsors: Coaches and sponsors may make other reasonable rules as they relate to their activities as long as the rules are approved by the administration. Violation of these rules may also result in dismissal from the activity. Notification and appeal process: Whenever a student is found to be in violation of this policy, the following appeal procedure will be set in motion. During the appeal process, penalties assessed to the student will be enforced. The student and student s parent/guardian shall be immediately notified in writing regarding a decision on application of this policy. In this letter, the length of the period of ineligibility and a specific explanation of the reasons for the ineligibility will be stated. Any student who is found by the administration to have violated the Good Conduct Policy may appeal to the Superintendent by contacting the Superintendent within 3 days of being advised of the violation. The Superintendent shall offer to meet with the student and his or her parents before rendering a written decision on the matter. If the student is still dissatisfied, he or she may seek further review by the school board by filing a written appeal with the board secretary at least 24 hours prior to the next board meeting. A special meeting of the board will not be called. The review by the board will be in closed session unless the student s parent (or the student, if the student is 18) requests an open session. The grounds for review by the school board are limited to the following: (a) the student did not violate the Good Conduct Policy; (b) the student was given inadequate due process as provided in this policy; (c) or the penalty is not in compliance with Board Policy. The penalty will remain in effect pending the outcome of the meeting with the board. If the school board reverses the decision of the administration, the student shall be immediately eligible and shall have any record of the ineligibility period and violation deleted from the student s record.

I’m proud to announce that updated editions of two of my most popular books, Special Events Planning for Success, 3rdedition, and Etiquette and Protocol A Guide for Campus Events, 2ndedition, are now available from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education. Both have been extensively updated to reflect our current societal norms including everything from managing burgeoning dietary preferences to extending electronic invitations to properly addressing same sex couples. These new editions join my book, Academic Ceremonies A Handbook of Traditions and Protocol to serve as quick references (and sometimes argument solvers) for the situations we face on campus every day. I hope you will add them to your bookshelf and refer to them often. Please order at http://case.org
Here is a list of titles that I consider indispensable reading for people who plan special events and ceremonies and who welcome VIP and international guests on campus. These books belong in every campus event planner’s office to serve as quick references when deadlines must be met. They are also excellent reading for newcomers for whom little formal onsite training may be available.
Academic Ceremonies A Handbook of Traditions and Protocol, by April L. Harris. A reference for commencement, convocation, the meaning of academic symbols and how to use them. Includes suggested ceremony line-ups.
Choosing Civility, The Twenty-five Rules of Considerate Conduct, by P.M. Forni. Food for thought about why what we do every day is important in making our world a more pleasant place.
Disability Etiquette Matters by Ellen L. Shackelford and Marguerite Edmonds. An excellent quick reference for interacting appropriately with people with disabilities.
Emily Post’s Etiquette, 18thedition, Manners for a New World, by Peggy Post, Anna Post, Lizzie Post, and Daniel Post Sending. A contemporary resource for general etiquette questions.
Etiquette and Protocol A Guide for Campus Events, 2ndedition, by April L. Harris. A quick reference for answers on the questions campus events planners encounter everyday including academic forms of address, symbols of office, and faculty colors.
Event Leadership for a New World, 4thedition by Joe Goldblatt. An excellent textbook that teaches everything from strategic planning to managing contracts.
Honor and Respect, The Official Guide to Names, Titles, and Forms of Address by Robert Hickey. This is the definitive reference on proper use of names and titles around the world.
Our Flag, a U.S. government publication available either online or for purchase at bookstore.gpo.gov. This pamphlet is an excellent, accurate reference for U.S. flag protocol with an interesting section about the history of our flag.
Protocol The Authoritative Source, 35thAnniversary Edition, by Mary Jane McCaffree, Pauline Innis, and Richard M. Sands. More detailed than most of us need on the average day, but if you are hosting government and military officials, or need to ensure flags are appropriately displayed, this book is essential.
Robert’s Rules in Action: How to Participate in Meetings with Confidence, by Randi Minetor. A great quick reference for the situations encountered in all but the most formal meetings.
Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised, 11thedition, by Henry M. Robert III, Daniel H. Honemann, and Thomas J. Balch. This is the bible of parliamentary procedure for formal occasions like board of trustees’ meetings.
Special Events Planning for Success, 3rdedition, by April L. Harris. A how-to reference for creating effective events on campus including a discussion of why events are important for advancement.
Treating People Well, The Extraordinary Power of Civility at Work and in Life, by Lea Berman and Jeremy Bernard. A fun and inspiring read from two former White House social secretaries.
World Wise What to Know Before You Go, by Lanie Denslow. A primer for cross-cultural interactions, especially helpful for people who have never travelled overseas and useful to raise staff consciousness about cultural differences when welcoming delegations from other countries.

December 19, 2013 – FOX has renewed hit cooking competition series MASTERCHEF JUNIOR for a second season, it was announced today by Kevin Reilly, Chairman of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company.
“MASTERCHEF JUNIOR is one of the few shows on television that the entire family can truly enjoy together, and I can’t wait to see what Gordon, Joe, Graham and the next round of rambunctious, ridiculously talented junior chefs cook up in Season Two,” said Reilly.

MASTERCHEF JUNIOR improved FOX’s performance in the time period versus last year by +58% among Adults 18-49. In addition, MASTERCHEF JUNIOR averaged a +50% lift from its Live + Same Day to its Live +7 Adults 18-49 rating – the largest percentage gain of any unscripted series on the Big 4 networks.

So Leicester Went And Did…
With the Premier League drawing to a close, it’s time to reflect upon the amazing achieved that has unfolded in front of our eyes over the past 36 matches.
Back in July 2015, The Tinkerman replaced Nigel Pearson as boss of Leicester. Marcus Christensen of The Guardian concluded in an article that “If Leicester wanted someone nice, they’ve got him. If they wanted someone to keep them in the Premier League, then they may have gone for the wrong guy”.
Backfire much?
To be fair, most people thought that, after the disappointing season they had just had, they would end up in a relegation battle, with betting at Ladbrokes offering tiny odds on them getting relegated, but whopping odds of 5000/1 for them to lift the Premier League trophy.
I wouldn’t have batted an eyelid if Leicester had been relegated as they were much of a muchness the previous season, but being a Liverpool fan, and given the opportunity to name a team that you would prefer to win the Premier League over the Chelseas and Manchester Citys of the league, I would have plumped for someone like a Leicester or a Newcastle.
Some barmy Leicester fans even went on to shove money at 5000/1 for them to win the league, with reports throughout the season of people bottling it and cashing out, still earning 10k+ plus.
Ladbrokes recently issued a press release, with the following biggest winners from their customers at the 5000/1:
£20 win – £100,000
£10 each way – £73,5000
£5 each way – £33,333
£2 win – £10,000
£1 each way – £6,666
47 bets at 5000/1 at start of season
25 cash outs
£3m payout!
It pays to dream!
What it does show now, is that teams don’t need endless pots of cash to win the most coveted prize in English football, but a team that play for each other and their manager, and who pour ever ounce of sweat into each and every performance.
I also wonder whether bookies will be offering 5000/1 odds ever again for teams such as Burnley, Sunderland or Norwich to life the Premier League title.
Only time will tell, but in the meantime, I might put a tenner on Leicester to win the Champions League at 100/1!
See you at the bookies.

This is what they are really like folks
A LAUGHING police officer told a drunk Aboriginal man to sing and dance while he filmed the act, with the footage later posted on YouTube.
The video shows a heavily intoxicated Aborigine lying on the ground in the Northern Territory town of Katherine.
He starts singing The Rivers of Babylon at the behest of a police officer who is filming the incident.
A second officer then drags the man to his feet while the officer taking the footage laughs and tells him to dance and say "Happy Birthday Blake".
The Aboriginal man, who is staggering and appears close to falling, continues to sing and dances about in a circle before being directed towards a police car.
The officer filming the incident then turns the camera on himself and says: "This s... is f....d up, f....d up''.
The video has prompted outrage from some online viewers.
"Disgusting is not the word for this," says one blogger.
"I have reported this to the minister of police. Sick and tired of so called police who abuse their power."
Others described the video as "racist" and called for the officer to be sacked or jailed.
Northern Territory police issued a statement yesterday saying the officer who filmed the event had received counselling after an internal investigation found his treatment of the man to be "humiliating and demeaning".
It said the matter was investigated in December last year by the Ethical and Professional Standards Command.
"A member was counselled and police acknowledge that the making of the video and posting it on YouTube was highly inappropriate," said a spokeswoman.
She said the other officer had not been reprimanded.
Katherine Country Liberals local member Willem Westra Van Holthe told ABC radio in Katherine that the officer had not conducted himself in a professional manner.
"It's probably a breach of privacy in regards to taking the video,'' said the former policeman.
"Certainly I think it's inappropriate to allow it to get onto the internet."
But other online bloggers used racist remarks to defend the video's content.
"No matter how u cut it the Aborigine) is f.....' hilarious," said one.
The man who posted the video, who appears not to be one of the police officers involved, told online critics he would take it down if the Aboriginal man asked him to.
"But I'm more than certain he would rather his 15 minutes of fame," he wrote.
"It's what he did that made it funny - not the colour of his skin."
NT police said a number of attempts had been made to remove the video from the website but they had been unsuccessful.
Comment was being sought from the NT government.
Re: chappy the aussie dancing abo
I think the more Youtubes about this subject the better.
Why should we be the only ones who see these shows.
Lets share it with the whole world?
hopefull oneday, we will have smell-a-vision to go with computer screen.
now that would be something.
The world of PC hasn't hit the land of OZ then has it?
It is funny though

Yes it has and I simply REFUSE to succumb to it.....
You gotta remember if you don't already know.....our Malcolm Fraser [Former PM before Bob Hawke] is totally responsible for putting Mugabe in power...Now look at the Zimbabwe shithole....and what is worse, they're letting in 13,000 refugees a year, here....we're **** now well and truly...
Yet weirdly.....if you're English you have to jump through hoops to get an Aussie passport.
Somat's wrong somewhere innit?
I am so, so, so angry about it all.....they **** people you know.....most of the rapists are Mooks and Africans......I am soooo angry....they're causing real racism and letting in men without families is sooooo wrong....I have NOTHING against immigrants families coming here......but I so strongly object to the single men.....
3 **** mooks gang raped a girl on Christmas day....I think they were Pakis.....Muslims anyway....
Rochdale town centre looks like magafookin'dishu or Marakesh now...firstly it was the single men and now we have entire damilies complete with umpteen kids.
They get credit cards, houses, phones and cars.
I don't hold any truck with the sponging bastards.
My Sister married Syd Hynes.....you know who he was?
He captained the side known as the Leeds Rhinos in the early 70's [Rugby League] and that was the side that beat Australia.....he is only 3 yrs younger than my mother still fit as anything though ....we had Christmas at my sisters and Syds.....
he used to have to come here and go back to England when his 3 mths were up...he met my sister on one of those visits and from the plane he wrote, he was coming back to marry her....he had to come and go several times though.....he has a sister living here too... It is dead romantic and all...LOL.
Here he is Cathy...

Yep, that is my brother in law.

Theatreland posted ninth year of rising ticket sales in 2012, despite Olympics
Published: Tuesday 29 January 2013
LONDON'S theatres saw ticket sales rise for the ninth year in a row in 2012, according to new figures released today by the Society of London Theatres (SOLT).
Total ticket sales for the 52 theatres in London under the SOLT umbrella reached £529,787,692 last year, a slender 0.27% increase on 2011, but one that was posted against the backdrop of the London Olympics and the continuing economic slump.
"I am delighted that for the ninth year running we are able to report year-on-year growth in ticket income for London Theatres," said Mark Rubinstein, President of SOLT.
"It is particularly astonishing that we are able to report increasing sales - of over half a billion pounds - for a year that we always knew would have exceptional challenges."
Many shows were cancelled during the Olympic summer causing sales and attendances at theatres to fall, but the 2012 Games deficit was more than cancelled out by a strong first half of the year and late autumn.
Among the new musicals to pull in the punters were Top Hat and The Bodyguard, while Twelfth Night starring Stephen Fry helped lift play attendances by 9% year-on-year.
"Against the background of a tough economic climate, London theatre continues to buck the trend," added Rubinstein.
"With the combined box office advance sales breaking new records we are looking forward to another year of success stories for our theatres."

For a long time Islam's adversaries have been salivating at the opportunity to manipulate Islam from within. As early as 1981, A.J. Quinnell made this the subject of his novel "The Mahdi" in which Western security services try to groom a Mahdi whom they control in order to direct Muslim behaviour. The plot is not as far-fetched as was suggested by critics back then. Having created a modern-day version of the assassins of old and calling them Islamic State has been a master stroke and done more to discredit Muslims and Islam than any other covert mission since Lawrence of Arabia helped incite the Arabs against the Turks to pave the way for the Zionist state whilst the Arabs mistook him to be their advocate. Likewise, with IS, you would think that only the blind can fail to see who is behind fanatics with strong self-righteous "Islamic" rhetoric, armed to the teeth with American hardware, but persistently abstaining from ever criticising, never mind harming, Israeli interests, whilst happily burning a Palestinian flag as a sign of misguided nationalism. But alas, there are many Muslims who seem to prefer walking around with their eyes closed.
Whereas IS was purposefully created not just to discredit Islam but to provide the pretext for Western engagement in a proxy war with Russia over Syria in violation of international law, it would be rash for Muslims to dismiss them as if their effects did not reach well beyond the region in which they operate. Hate preachers with views close to those of IS abound throughout the Muslim world, financed by the petrol dollars of Saudi Arabia, the beneficiary of Lawrence's British sponsors and key ally of the United States and, by implication, Israel. During the first decade of the 19th century their Wahhabi forebears ransacked Mecca, Medinah and Ta'if under the leadership of Saud ibn Abdul Aziz with a violence against Muslim men, women and children everything as brutal as their IS successors today, destroying tombs and burial grounds, mosques and madrasahs. Whilst the Ottoman caliphate eventually regained control, the rebel group managed to hold out in the Najd and eventually, with the help of British cunning that hailed the end of the caliphate, installed themselves back in the holy land where they have styled themselves the custodians of the holy places whilst continuing to dismantle and destroy Muslim heritage ever since, turning cherished relics of Muslim history into hotels and parking lots and exporting a version of Islam which aims to throw away fourteen centuries of its rich history under the pretext of referring back directly to the source.
In today's world where Muslims put money before God, mosques and scholars can readily be bought, and petty-minded sectarian preachers are commonplace. They replace Islam as a means of mundane and spiritual guidance to further the personal growth of its adherents with a pharisaic set of obsessive rules relating to dress code and appearances; they replace the richness of the Qur'anic message with a narrow literal and anthropomorphic interpretation; they dismiss centuries of diligent effort by Muslim scholars in trying to extract meaning from divine revelation with an arrogant claim to be sufficiently qualified to go back directly to the prophet, yet in their attempt to destroy the complex edifice of Islamic learning with jabs at Muslims' alleged blind following of their scholars and Madhhabs they reach no further than blindly following the neo-Madhhab of their very own saint, Ibn Taymiyyah. As for him, their prime targets for persecution are other Muslims who differ in their understanding of what Islam stands for, whereas they happily appease those of other faiths. The aggressiveness and self-righteous confidence with which they impose their message on fellow Muslims makes especially young people, who are still unsure about their faith and their place in the world, fall prey to the imagined certainty and security only dogma can provide.
That Muslims globally have been so easily duped or, where they were aware of the facts, have generally failed to respond meaningfully to the challenge, shows that the wounds of colonialism and the scars from having lost the caliphate run a lot deeper than is apparent at first glance. By having been robbed of their own administrative, judicious and educational structures, Muslims have been reduced to an array of individuals without a cohesive community structure. Fragmentation has deprived them of a political voice. In Christendom the separation of church and state was accomplished by "reform" from within. The secular establishment which became the heir of a disempowered church then proceeded to force the same banishment upon Islam by removing the state, the public space of Islamic expression, from them. Regaining that state remained an delusional vision of Muslims for almost a century, obscuring the fact that once Islam had been relegated to the personal space alone, the ensuing multitude of opinions of what constituted Islam would ensure that concerted action and agreement remained well out of reach. Now, as a last blow, we've been handed the physical reality of an "Islamic State" which is as unislamic as could possibly be.
A structure, once knocked down, is hard to rebuild from its ruins, but if we were to endeavour just that, we would first need to remove the rubble. Next, we would need to have a clear design of what we are going to put in its place. In line with this analogy, Muslims today require a frank discussion about what kind of future they want to build for themselves. As was the case when Islam was first introduced over fourteen centuries ago, thorough education about its values and principles is required prior to trying to rebuild its administrative and judicial system. Thus, what we need most, is a return to an Islamic identity shaped by values rather than by mere rules and regulations. A "halal" mortgage, for example, which costs more than a mortgage from a non-Islamic finance provider may be cleverly construed to be technically in accordance with Islamic rulings, but since it is even more exploitative than the mortgage condemned by virtue of the Islamic prohibition on interest, it cannot be justified morally. The prophet of Islam, peace be with him, introduced social justice and cohesion, and the God who sent him must not be reduced to a mere accountant preoccupied with the length of an individual's beard, how high he raises his hands during prayer or the technicalities of financial instruments. His divine attributes represent values to aspire to. Islam, therefore, is characterised by both the submission to the divine and commitment to fellow human beings. The first relationship defines personal spirituality, whereas the latter governs each and every individual's actions. Men and women are judged by how beneficial they are to their fellow men and women, not by how devout they portray themselves.
For any building to last it has to be erected on strong foundations. The Muslim ummah needs to take stock. It is in urgent need of a thorough survey of its foundations to ascertain which parts have remained intact and which need strengthening. This task will require the dedication of the most talented of its experts and scholars. It will also take time, and with constantly being put under pressure from outside and within, it is questionable whether there remains sufficient opportunity for such an essential self-inspection. Nonetheless, a people divorced from its history becomes a people without identity and without a joint future. To prevent this, Muslims need to re-engage with their history, not gloss over it, and learn lessons from the discussions and disputes of old instead of pretending they never happened. The idea that we could just reach back to a golden time preceding that history, that we could reconnect with the prophet's generation, whilst ignoring all that came in between, might sound tempting to the simple mind, but in reality it means that we deprive ourselves from the lessons learned through all the mistakes which were made since then and thus end up condemned to repeating them all over again. We would be well advised to instead avail ourselves of the wealth of solutions which were also developed in those intervening years. It is the height of folly for a generation to think that they are so unique that they can learn nothing from their predecessors.
Barring the actual appearance of the Mahdi, we will not be able to recreate the conditions of the time of the prophet, peace be upon him, because no prophet will henceforth be present in our midst. We will thus try to emulate his example without the direct input of prophetic guidance, just as the generations of Muslims did after his death who were arguably more knowledgeable about, and more devout in, their observance of his example. To suggest otherwise is pure arrogance. To insinuate that we are better placed to resolve the resulting challenges than they were is buying into the Darwinian myth of modernity that mankind is continually progressing to a higher state, whereas the prophet, peace be with him, quite clearly warned that the best community was that of his own time, then that which followed them, and so on through the ages. If we think ourselves better than them by pretending that we are better placed to interpret a source from which we are so infinitely more distant, then we most clearly suffer from a serious bout of superiority complex. And this is exactly what describes the attitude of IS and other fanatics desperate to compel everybody else to accept their understanding of Islam as the only permissible option.
Thankfully it is said that the body of Muslims will never be able to unite on error, which is why Muslim leaders and scholars must make it a priority to come together to reject bigotry and affirm inclusiveness and mutual tolerance. The threat to what remains of the fabric of Islam is real but for the protection promised by the Almighty himself, Who also warns us: If you turn away, He will replace you with a different people who will not be like you (Qur'an 47:38).

Thank you for your comment. We don't disagree about ISIS, ISIL, DAISH, IS bla bla; I called them "as unislamic as could possibly be", but my key point is that the problem of subverting Islam is much more widespread than the media obsession with ISIS - I don't know about Italy, but here in the UK every other mosque has been poisoned by this ideology. As for emails, now and then my address (and that of many other Muslim organisations and individuals) gets blacklisted because some Israeli server (most spam emails are sent from within Israel)sends out spam messages cloning the address as origin, then those blacklists are reset again every few days.
The link to the American corporation ISIS is useful; interestingly they have started to rebrand themselves as SIS, dropping the initial "I" but stupidly haven't completed the exercise, so remnants of the old name remain on their website.
Thanks again for following my blog.

Dutch call for take-off warning systems [复制链接]

Boeing aircraft after take off. View from below.
The Dutch Safety Board has called for the swift development of independent systems which warn pilots when their aircraft has insufficient take-off performance.
The board analysed serious incidents involving incorrect thrust settingsin Boeing 737-800 aircraft in 2014 and 2015.
‘In both incidents the required safety margins for take-off performance were not met, increasing the risk of a runway overrun, tail strike and a collision with an obstacle after departure,’ the report said.
In the first incident, the pilots of a flight taking off from Groningen Airport Eelde in north-eastern Holland became aware that acceleration was less than expected, and the aircraft became airborne only 60 metres from the end of the runway. The report said that the pilots, using a data card, had miscalculated the take-off weight by 10 tonnes, and consequently set insufficient thrust.
The second incident, on a flight from Lisbon in Spain, occurred after the operator had introduced digital performance calculations on an electronic flight bag (EFB). An input error meant that take-off performance was calculated for an incorrect runway/take-off position, possibly due to unclear naming of take-off positions. The available runway length was 1120 metres less than calculated.
‘A common factor in both incidents was that the errors could propagate, because there were no adequate crosschecks in place to detect the specific errors made by the flight crew,’ the report said.
‘A crosscheck detecting the erroneous take-off weight on the bug card was lacking in the Groningen incident. A crosscheck detecting that both pilots were making the same runway selection error was lacking in the Lisbon incident.
‘Another common factor in both incidents was that the flight crew did not select additional thrust after realising the take-off roll was unusually long.’
The report points out that worldwide, there have been numerous incidents involving erroneous take-off parameters.
Once such incident, reported in Flight Safety Australia’s January 2017 edition, involved an Emirates Airbus A340 taking off from Melbourne in March 2009.
A single digit incorrectly input into an EFB meant that the aircraft was 100 tonnes heavier than the take-off weight calculations. The aircraft was sluggish to accelerate, suffered a serious tailstrike, and overran the runway before becoming airborne. The crew managed to dump fuel and return for a safe landing.
The Dutch Safety Board said that development of new and independent monitoring systems to provide flight crews with a timely warning that the required take-off performance could not be achieved, was slow. It said that the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) had not given development of regulations for such systems a high priority because there had been only three fatal accidents involving take-off performance-related incidents in the past 16 years.

Walk No. 1 in the Old Town of Rethymnon
Crete Kreta
Rethymnon Prefecture
The City of Rethymnon
A walk in the city of Rethymnon, Crete - First Tour
1. The first walk starts at the entrance of the old town, the Porta Guora, also called the Great Gate, at the beginning of Antistaseos Street. The gate represents the only remaining part of the ancient fortified wall of the town of Rethymnon.
Rethymnon Old Town Map
[gmap zoom=17 |center=35.37013768736168,24.471745491027832 |width=420px |height=300px |control=Micro |type=Hybrid]
Continuing down Antistaseos, which is also known as Mikri Agora (Small Market), you will find the church of Agios Frangiskos on your left-hand-side and next to the church is the former Turkish Primary School.
Special attention should be paid to the outer door frame, which is in the Venetian style, whereas the inner door frame was added later on by the Turks and is ornamented with vines. Thus the initial frame was a much narrower shape. Next to each pilaster, pairs of relief work can be seen, which portray lions in the lower part and symbols of the Ottoman Empire in the upper part.
The entrance to the school, the lower part of which was built in 1796, is situated in Papamichelaki Street.
Continuing along Antistaseos, you will arrive at Souliou Street, which branches to the right. This picturesque alley is worth seeing, since it boasts a large number of shops displaying traditional handicrafts. This street leads up to Palaiologou Street, where we turn right.
A few metres further down, at the crossroads of Palaiologou and Arkadiou Street on the right side is the Loggia.
Today, the Ministry of Culture uses this building as a shop, where true copies of ancient artifacts are sold. We turn back in a westerly direction on Palaiologou and arrive at the famous Platanos Square (Platia Petychaki), where we find a remnant of the Venetian period, the Rimondi Fountain.
It is worthwhile having a closer look at the fountain before continuing through the square with its traditional cafes, tavernas and shops, and turning right into Vernardou Street.
Here we find the Neratzes mosque with its towering minaret. The mosque with its impressive dome was the Church of Santa Maria during Venetian times and belonged to the Augustine Monastery, which was located in the centre of the Venetian square. Its imposing door frame is ornamented with Corinthian capitals and an impressive lintel in the crown of the arch.
The Church of Santa Maria was transformed into a mosque in 1657 and the highest minaret of the town, furnished with two galleries, was added in 1890.
Further down Vernardou at No. 30 is the Folklore Museum of Rethymnon.
Further down the street you can admire one the most beautiful door frames of Rethymnon, which displays the following inscription: "VIRTUTE FULCIDA DOMUS MDCIXKAL JUNII" (Virtue makes this house shine, first days of June 1609). Continue the walk down Vernardou, you arrive at Nikiforos Foka Street and the square of Kyria ton Aggelon (Lady of the Angels).
The Church of The Little Virgin, as the people of Rethymnon call it, was built during the Venetian occupation and dedicated to Maria Magdalene of the Dominican order.
During the Turkish occupation, this three-aisled church was transformed into a mosque, and a minaret was added in 1680, which collapsed shortly after.
From the square of Kyria ton Aggelon turn into Arabatzoglou Street with its magnificently ornamented facades and door frames. A large number of wooden balconies, many more than anywhere else in town, have been preserved in this street.
From Arabatzoglou turn into Mesolongi Street and from there turn left into Radamanthios Street. The Turkish bath was housed at No. 25 during earlier times; now a private building, it cannot be visited though. The bath was built in 1670 and includes two halls with semi-circular domes.
To the west at the crossroads of Radamanthios and Nikiforos Foka turn right and continue down Nikiforos Foka. Continue down Klidis Street, the first alley on the left, which is famous for the superbly ornamented door frame at No. 13.
Continue down Klidis and then turn left into Renieri Street with its beautiful Venetian door frames and wooden balconies, until Panou Koroneou Street. No. 12 has an exceptionally attractive door frame with a relief that is richly decorated with natural motifs.
Walking down Koroneou in a westerly direction up to the intersection of Koroneou and Smyrnis, there are five fountains, two on Koroneou and three below the arch. Koroneou leads us to the square of Iroon Polytechniou, which is dominated by the neoclassical building of the Prefecture.
Return to Koroneou and, continuing in an easterly direction, turn right into Mavili Street. Notice the neatly kept houses with flowers and enclosed yards. Turn left into Piga Street, continue down Patelarou Street up to Nikiforos Foka Street, the famous Makry Steno (long alley) of the old town of Rethymnon.
The iconostasis, which is made of stone and built into the wall at the point where Nikiforos Foka and Papamichelaki meet, is worth seeing. Continuing along Nikiforos Foka in a southerly direction, turn left into Bouniali Street, where the blacksmiths and saddlers had their workshops in earlier times.
Following the road straight on it leads to Ethnikis Antistaseos and, looking to the right, is the starting point, the Porta Guora.

Gibraltar, March 1988
Published in Poetry
30 years ago at approx 3.30pm Mairéad Farrell was murdered by the British state on Gibraltar. Standing by her side, also with his hands in the air, was Dan McCann who was also shot dead. A few hundred metres away Sean Savage was to have a similar fate. At the inquest the forensic scientist who examined Sean's remains said his killing had been a "frenzied attack" There were 29 bullet wounds in his body. All three were unarmed.
The following extract from a poem by Jack Mitchell is presented to mark the anniversary, and to mark International Women's Day.
from GiB, A Modest Exposure
by Jack Mitchell
Deep inside Gibraltar Rock
There stands a town, or rather mock
Town, looking pretty
Like certain parts of Belfast City.
Here khaki cutthroats learn the art
Of taking a neighbourhood apart,
The stealthy approach, the dawn raid,
Crowd-dispersal with the aid
Of plastic bullets, CS gas,
The art of torture (not too crass),
Of close surveillance, hot pursuit,
With strict instructions, when you shoot
Be certain that you shoot to kill.
While, in their caves, at state expense,
These troglodytes of violence
Were taught tricks of the terror trade,
Outside, Gibraltarians paid
Their taxes and but scant attention
To this weird underground invention,
Until one mild March afternoon,
As balmy as an English June,
A Sunday, full of peaceful sounds
And strolling tourists on their rounds,
There came a change of quality.
The game became reality.
At sometime after three o'clock
The Thing they harboured in their Rock
Descended on them; out of the blue –
Slaughter in Churchill Avenue,
Panic amongst passers-by
As three young Irish people die,
Mown down by men with automatics.
The story goes, they were fanatics,
Dangerous terrorists, they said.
Who, the assassins? No – the dead.
It's sickening to hear them jaw
Of human rights and rule of law;
Their favourite view of human rights
Is down a loaded Browning's sights;
And as for rule of law, by God,
Whose law ordains a murder squad?
And murder it was, there on the Rock,
For all their gales of gusty talk.
Unarmed, unwarned, the Irish three
Were gunned down with malicious glee
By a gang of mindless yahoo brutes,
Great Britain's own Tonton Macoutes.
You meet them in the rugby clubs
And in idyllic country pubs.
The same white-collared yobbo clowns
Molest old folk in market towns.
All over Britain's blasted heath
They're springing up like dragons' teeth!
Born bullies, no, not born but spawned
In Yuppydom's malignant pond,
For twenty years or so matured,
With Bond and Rambo well manured,
Until they're rotten-ripe and drop
Into the Special Forces’ lap.
This concentrates their pith, and purges
Them of their last human urges,
Refining them to a noxious pearl
Within the Army's oyster shell.
Picture that dastardly attack,
How, first, they shot them in the back,
Straddled them where they lay half dead
And pumped their bodies full of lead,
Signing off with a shot in the face,
The SAS's coup d'isgrace.
Or was it the other way around?
Did the victims turn at some slight sound,
Throwing their hands up to provoke
The fatal words the Brownings spoke
Into their ears or to their face?
Such are the niceties of the case!
Whichever way, that awful spilling
Of human life was 'lawful killing' –
Or so the inquest said it was:
They had, they found, broken no laws,
Were gentlemen all – all honourable,
Their slight excess – exonerable.
Ah, Gentlemen they were – indeed,
Classic specimens of the breed.
Note how, in their message back to base,
Miss Farrell's name takes pride of place;
At every stage 'twas Ladies First,
Mairéad received their opening burst –
Perhaps by way of a bouquet
For International Women's Day?

What is Syneron?
Syneron®’s full spectrum of non-invasive and minimally-invasive clinical applications Non-invasive and minimally-invasive aesthetic procedures have become the fastest growing segment of the aesthetic medicine market, driven by aging baby boomers with high disposable incomes.
Powered by revolutionary elōs Technology, Syneron® Medical Aesthetic Systems address the full spectrum of non-invasive and minimally-invasive clinical applications – providing you with the tools to offer these applications to your patients.
The history of Syneron® is one of innovation. With the limitations of intense pulse light (IPL) and conventional laser systems as his inspiration, master physicist, Dr. Michael Kreindel, was determined to come up with a better solution for medical aesthetics. After years of research and development, he created elōs (Electro-optical Synergy), the revolutionary technology platform that powers all Syneron® medical aesthetics systems. Together, he and his long-time colleague, Dr. Shimon Eckhouse, the inventor and patent holder of IPL, founded Syneron® in 2000. Five product families were soon launched from this robust and promising pipeline and the stage was set for a new industry leader. Since then, Syneron® has been setting new standards in safety and efficacy for a wide range of medical aesthetic procedures.
While lasers were invented in the mid-60s, it wasn’t until the mid-70s that the technology had evolved enough to be used safely for dermatological applications. In 1991, physicist Dr. Shimon Eckhouse invented and patented intense pulsed light (IPL), a significant advancement over conventional lasers. A quantum leap occurred in the year 2000, when master physicist, Dr. Michael Kreindel, “combined” IPL technology with bi-polar radio frequency (RF) to create electro-optical synergy or elōs as it is now known. This revolutionary technology platform soon set new standards in safety and efficacy for a wide range of medical aesthetic procedures.
Laser Limitations
Single range
Single wavelength
Very few aesthetic applications
High epidermal absorption
Many treatments required
High risk of pigmentation changes and scarring
IPL Limitations
Multiple wavelength

Well, there are strong similarities with Judaism until the first century AD, for instance the usage of the Babylonian lunar-solar calendar and other customs. More crucial is the age of the Nabataean religion - maybe this is the parental Yahwist religion? The absence of Abrahamic inscriptions in Hebrew is confusing. The Jews from Elephantine have all the Jewish customs and traditions but no one is called Abraham.
But there are references to these tribes from secondary sources, for instance from Babylon.

And Eusebius refers to Theman as a locality in the fourth century.

The same notion can be asserted in the Nessana papyri, seventh century AD.

The question one should be asking one's self is how could Muhammad actually pass off the Kaaba as being built by Ibrahim, if the Arabs did not already believe it considering that Arab tribes had since antiquity been paying extensive homage to the Kaaba and its rites?
The Kaaba in Mecca could only be at most 200 or so years old when Mohammed died. And it was, if the Muslim accounts are to be believed, a shrine not unlike some found in Petra, with much the same deities in it. This alone suggests there something not quite right with the conventional accounts, but that is another issue.
But you are asking a very valid question. And at least part of the answer is found in the QUr'an, specifically in surah 9.
Mohammed bans non-Muslims from Mecca and excludes them from worshipping there. His followers grumble, they fear they have put their lives at risk for nothing... Wasn't the main reason for capturing Mecca so that the Muslims get a regular income from the Kaaba pilgrims? Allah helpfully intervenes with the revelation instructing Muslims to attack Christians and Jews and extract protection money from them, because they do not believe the right thing... (9:28 to 30)
But that was not quite sufficient to keep the peace. It sounded too much like "jam tomorrow".
So Mohammed decided to "islamify" the Kaaba, so that it could continue to run as a reliable source of income. So we get the black stone and the hajj, all "sanctioned" and "explained" by Allah, the ever-helpful invisible servant of Mohammed. And we get the re-write of Abraham and Ishmael....
Did all his followers believe all this stuff? No, if we read the hadith, there clearly were doubts. But why was it accepted?
Two reasons: Mohammed was a powerful man. It was unwise to be critical of anything he said or did. People remember those who were executed for poems about him. Open doubt would mean certain death.
Second.... It SUITED the Muslim interests. If all this stuff Mohammed was saying was true, and the was the "prophet", so it could perhaps be so, then the Kaaba could stay open for business! All the old customs can stay, all we need is a new reason to keep them.... and Mohammed supplied that.
So would you have shouted "what nonsense" into the face of Mohammed and have your head chopped off or would stay quiet and think of the cash coming in from future Muslim pilgrims in ever greater numbers? if you are used to Ramadan and the hajj, it is not great you can just keep all that as long as you just use a different rationale for this? Mohammed supplied that. The choice was to see all the old customs disappear, or even get executed as a murtad, or to accept Mohammed's "re-alignment". A no brainer really.
Not that hard to understand really.

Abraham's connection to the Kaaba was never questioned by those first concerned, the Arab Pagans, yet they did not waste any opportunity at challenging, twisting, discrediting as "nonsense" most of what the prophet said or did, just as all past prophets were treated by their people.
Assuming the untenable idea, unheard of even from the most fanciful critics of Islam, ancients and modern, that the early Muslims conspired to create this Abrahamic connection for business purposes (yet they are the ones to have "grumbled" at their loss of livelihood precisely due to this, with out having any limb "chopped off"), despite not existing a trace of any opponent accusing them of such, then one would still need to explain, besides these and other hurdles, why would this group of people appeal to Abraham at a time where they had everything to lose by doing so, in connection to a monument revered by a people who supposedly known nothing of this inherited legacy? The Kaaba's "islamisation" in practice could have still happenned without Abraham.
The ordinance, the banning of idolaters from practicing their religion in the sacred precincts of the Kaaba, had naturally caused the Muslims to fear for their livelihood 9:28. This meant the town would automatically lose its position as a comercial center and all trade would cease. However these worldly considerations could not interfer with the carrying out of higher objectives and further "if you fear poverty then Allah will enrich you out of His grace if He please; surely Allah is Knowing Wise". That enrichment came as the entire land of Arabia entered the fold of Islam like waves upon waves as prophecied in a time when none could have imagined for such an outcome to come true 110:1-3. The jizya cannot counterbalance for this loss of trade neither did it cause anyone to become rich.
And the prophet Muhammad is nor thw assassin prophet David of the HB. When he punished, it never was out of mere retaliation for a personal slight or injury. All his punishments, of believers and unbelievers alike, were for crimes committed against the public weal or infringements of the promulgated law; and even here his life contains acts of clemency in which he put mercy above justice.
Poets in those times covered a wide variety of activities, many approved in Islam and the prophet, others disapproved such as those who would use their skill to start and end wars by instigating hatred among different parties who otherwise would not have even fought eachother on the battlefield, they were therefore rightfully considered combattants like any soldier in a time where threats and treason were coming from all side against the nascent Muslim community, aiming at its extinction.
The closest one can come to the kind of impact this kind of poetry had in Arabian tribal life in those days, is to remember the role propaganda played during the world wars of the 20th century, more particularily the 2nd one.
Like with every flimsy revision of history, it is very easy to spew anything but extremely difficult to intricately explain how a massive lie can knowingly, willingly be accepted, established. Again we're not speaking of pyramids or some monuments no longer used, but of a living monument kept in high regard by an entire population past, present and future. We're not talking of a single person making a grandiose claim on the origins of a population and its hometown, but of an entire population's claims based on ancestral knowledge.
Kaaba is spoken of by Greek historians of the 1st century. Through their trade and interraction with the people of the region, the Meccans brought in idols whom they unanimously agreed were only intercessors with Allah the supreme Creator.

You only question things when you get to know them.
MUSLIMS would not question Mohammed. And the non-Muslims were banished from Mecca, their voices erased by Muslim writers.
Kaaba is spoken of by Greek historians of the 1st century.
Now don't be ridiculous. A "Kaaba" maybe, but certainly not the one in Mecca. There was no Mecca at all in the first century. There are NO REFERENCES AT ALL about Mecca until much later. And Diodorus Siculus did mention a sanctuary of the Arabs. But "Arabia", as repeatedly shown, was not the Arab peninsula in ancient times. To a Roman, "Arabia" was the Nabatean kingdom with Petra as its capital, and later also Yemen. the desert part was not even known properly. And Diodorus describes the location and matches roughly the area of Petra. The Roman Empire took control of part of the Hejaz in 106 CE, but even though detailed descriptions were established of Western Arabia by Rome, such as by Procopius, there are no references of a pilgrimage and trading outpost such as Mecca. In fact the first unambiguous mention of Mecca is in a Byzantine chronicle from the 8th century, but the location is wrong as well.
At best we can assume that Mecca was a fairly new settlement when Mohammed was born. The idea it was a trading centre is also quite daft. People would have used the sea or exceptionally the coast. Mecca is simply too out of the way.
And Mohammed admitted that he made all the stuff about the Kaaba, to Aisha:
“Had not your people been still close to the pre-Islamic period of ignorance I would have dismantled the Kaaba and would have made two doors in it; one for entrance and the other for exit”. [Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 3, Number 128].
We have had that discussion previously with another Muslim and he ran away from the forum, some years back.
"if you fear poverty then Allah will enrich you out of His grace if He please; surely Allah is Knowing Wise"
So "Allah" is very much concerned about grumbles amongst the Muslims. He throws money at it. How spiritual of him. But not his money, OTHER PEOPLE'S money, as verse 29 explains. He instructs Muslims to attack Jews and Christians, fight to the death, until they agree to pay protection money. And Allah specifically justifies this attack on peaceful people with their religion, which, he, hilariously, describes wrongly in verse 30...
The whole thing really is so silly that the only miracle is that Muslims actually believe that. Let's face it someone who mistakes surah 9 as some kind of divine words, will believe pretty much any nonsense, as long Mohammed pronounces it.
Muslims questioned their prophet all throughout his life. All the accusations of the prophet's enemies are available, in the Quran, hadiths, and other books of the traditions. But of course except the untenanble one proposed earlier....
Siculus is the writer and he spoke of the Kaaba viewtopic.php?f=21&t=18423&start=20#p242368
Yes Allah is concerned with those that sacrifice their livelihood for a higher truth and he compensates them both in this life and the next. Jizya had nothing to do with that and neither were the people of the book addressed in the verses peaceful. As to v30 which accurately paints the beliefs of Jews and Christians it is addressing, although their persistence in disbelief and uttering of falsehood is forcefully condemned as worthy of divine wrath, never is this attitude given as a reason to fight them.
What was "repeatedly shown" concerning Arabia in the 1st century, was that it extended present day eastern Egypt, including the Sinai Peninsula, southern Israel, Jordan, and parts of Syria and Iraq, all of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and the Gulf States on the Persian Gulf.

why are you lying like this, mohammed didnt entertain any criticism but butchered his critiques when he had amassed enough power to do so. When he was slightly less power full and still in the process of building his robbing gang he was well versed in the business of cursing and ranting game. one of the best example is from quran itself- Abu lahab. Abu lahab called mohammed names and in return Mohamed dedicated a good part of a chapter and his time returung the favour like a street rowdy.
Mohammed didnt even leave Abu lahabs wife Umm Jama alone. As she was a firewood vendor, Mohammed's curse was that she would be providing firewood forever for burning her husband in hell in the afterlife.

The hadith, obviously speaking of the prophet wanting to conduct reparations to what is nothing but a building and not wanting to hurt the people's extra sensitivities to it. Here a longer version unappealing to the deception hunters'
Ata' reported: The House was burnt during the time of Yazid b. Muawiya when the people of Syria had fought (in Mecca). And it happened with it (the Ka'ba) what was (in store for it). Ibn Zubair (Allah be pleased with him) felt it (in the same state) until the people came in the season (of Hajj). (The idea behind was) that he wanted to exhort them or incite them (to war) against the people of Syria. When the people had arrived he said to them: O people, advise me about the Ka'ba. Should I demolish it and then build it from its very foundation, or should I repair whatever has been damaged of it? Ibn 'Abbas said: An idea has occurred to me according to which I think that you should only repair (the portion which has been) damaged, and leave the House (in that very state in which) people embraced Islam (and leave those very stones in the same state) when people embraced Islam, and over which Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) had raised it. Thereupon Ibn Zubair said: It the house of any one of you is burnt, he would not be contented until he had reconstructed it, then what about the House of your Lord (which is far more Important than your house)? I would seek good advice from my Lord thrice and then I would make up (my mind) about this affair. After seeking good advice thrice, he made up his mind to demolish it. The people apprehended that calamity might fall from heaven on those persons who would be first to climb (over the building for the purpose of demolishing it), till one (took up courage, and ascended the roof), and threw down one of its stones. When the people saw no calamity befalling him, they followed him, demolished it until it was razed to the ground. Then Ibn Zubair erected pillars and hung cartains on them (in order to provide facilities to the people for observing the time of its construction). And the walls were raised; and Ibn Zubair said: I heard 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) say that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) had observed: If the people had Rot recently (abandoned) unbelief, find I had means enough to reconstruct it, which I had not, I would have definitely excompassed in it five cubits of area from Hijr. And I would also have constructed a door for the people to enter, and a door for their exit. I today have (the means to spend) and I entertain no fearfrom the side of people (that they would protest against this change). So he added five cubits of area from the side of Hatim to it that there appeared (the old) foundation (upon which Hadrat Ibrahim had built the Ka'ba). and the people saw that and it was upon this foundation that the wall was raised. The length of the Ka'ba was eighteen cubits. when addition was made to it (which was in its breadth), then naturally the length appears to be) small (as compared with its breadth). Then addition of ten cubits (of area) was made in its length (also). Two doors were also constructed, one of which (was meant) for entrance and the other one for exit. When Ibn Zubair (Allah be pleased with him) was killed, Hajjaj wrote to 'Abd al-Malik (b. Marwan) informing him about it, and telling him that Ibn Zubair (Allah be pleased with him) had built (the Ka'ba) on those very foundations (which were laid by Ibrahim) and which reliable persons among the Meccans had seen. 'Abd al-Malik wrote to him: We are not concerned with the censuring of Ibn Zubair in anything. Keep intact the addition made by him in the side of length, and whatever he has added frem the side of Hijr revert to (its previous) foundation, and wall up the door which he had opened. Thus Hajjaj at the command of Abd al-Malik) demolished it (that portion) and rebuilt it on (its previous) foundations
Siculus is the writer and he spoke of the Kaaba
No he did not.
He spoke of a "sanctuary revered by the Arabs". He gives a location, it is close the Petra.
And the desert part of the Arabian peninsula was not considered as "Arabia". You quoted Josephus yourself.

Which singular temple was revered by all of Arabia in the 1st century, even in Petra?

You are talking about ONE small sentence, and you are misrepresenting what it says.
“Hieron d’ hagiōtaton hidrutai, timōmenon hupo pantōn Arabōn perittoteron.”
“A very sacred temple has been established there which is highly revered by all the Arabs.”
—Diodorus Siculus, tr. Stanley M. Burnstein
According to Agatharchides, one of the sources of Diodorus, somewhere south of the Gulf of Aqaba is a bay or gulf (kolpos) that runs inland about 500 stadia—a very improbable number, roughly 90 km. The mouth is too craggy for ships to traverse. Around the bay live a hunting people called something like the Batmizomaneis or Banizomeneis. Diodorus uniquely includes the detail that a “very sacred temple has been established there which is highly revered by all the Arabs.”
The thing is there is no such gulf near Mecca. There is a lagoon 300 km north from Jeddah, but it does not run inland. There is a groups of island with a small lagoon some 100 km north of Jeddah, and that also does not fit the description. Talking about Jeddah, as that would have been known in the 1st century BC, at least by some, as a port important for the Nabateans selling Frankincense and such, if it was anywhere near there, Jeddah surely would have got a mention.
There is a "gulf," not as large as described though, with reef and islands in front of it, running inland as described, slightly east to the entrance to the gulf of Aqaba, from the red sea. That is the best fit for the scant description. There were many "Kaabas" in the region at the time, so which one he meant it unclear, but it cannot be Mecca as the description of the location does not fit, and there simply was not Mecca as yet.
Diodorus also says that this sanctuary is NORTH of the people of Thamud, not south.
This suggests that the sanctuary was in Nabatean land, and the "gulf" was that treacherous false entry to the gulf of Aqaba already mentioned.
If the "sanctuary" Diodorus briefly mentions did even exist, must look for it in Nabatean land.
He certainly would not suggest a "sanctuary" in a place that did not yet exist. You might as well suggest he means New York....

The question, like many others asked in this thread, remains unaddressed: where/what is the single 1st century temple revered by all of Arabia? That there were scattered kaabas is known and already stated.
The statement of Sicilus can in no way whatsoever reject the premise it was not the Kaaba.
Next after these plains as one skirts the coast comes a gulf of extraordinary nature. It runs, namely, to a point deep into the land, extends in length a distance of some five hundred stades, and shut in as it is by crags which are of wondrous size, its mouth is winding and hard to get out of; for a rock which extends into the sea obstructs its entrance and so it is impossible for a ship either to sail into or out of the gulf. Furthermore, at times when the current rushes in and there are frequent shiftings of the winds, the surf, beating upon the rocky beach, roars and rages all about the projecting rock. The inhabitants of the land about the gulf, who are known as Banizomenes, find their food by hunting the land animals and eating their meat. And a temple has been set up there, which is very holy and exceedingly revered by all Arabians.
Sicilus does not mention the Thamudites nor does he mention the Nabateans, in relation to where this Temple is located. He says the location of this Temple is where the Banizomes inhabit the region. He states that these people hunt land animals and eat their meat, mean they are an inland, not coastal people.
Further, Sicilus most likely is quoting second hand from Agatharchides. Strabo, who are said to quote from the same source, only quote the following:
92c. Then there is a bay, about five hundred stades in extent, encircled by mountains and with an entrance that is difficult to penetrate. Men who hunt wild land animals live around it. (Agatharchides of Cnidus, On the Erythraean Sea 169 BC, translated by Stanley M. Burstein, 1989, book 5, fragment 92c. Strabo 15 AD, 16.4.18, C777)
He makes no mention of the Temple. SInce Sicilus' compilation is taken from multiple sources, he could have easily conflaged different accounts from other sources. The point is, he mentions a singular Temple revered by all Arabs.

`The question, like many others asked in this thread, remains unaddressed: where/what is the single 1st century temple revered by all of Arabia? That there were scattered kaabas is known and already stated.
It's "Diodorus Siculus"
You question is like "which unicorn ate the apple pie"?
The was no "single" Kaaba and the source does not speak of it. And nobody, including Sicilus, make that claim, Only you do.
And you are claiming it must be the Kaaba Diodorus speaks of because we cannot exactly locate something he mentioned in passing.
There is no bay, even remotely near Mecca.
But Gibbon was mistaken. As our sources move on from the bay, southward down the coast, they encounter the lands of a people called the Thamūd (Thamoudēnoi). We have no hard and fast borders for the lands occupied by the Thamūd, but ancient and Islamic sources place them in the northwest of the Peninsula, not far from the Nabataeans and Arabia Petraea. Gibbon explicitly puts the temple between the Thamūd in the northwest and the Sabaeans in the Yemen – an area that may include Mecca – whereas a more careful reading of the Agatharchides tradition places the bay and its vaunted temple north of the Thamūd.
http://www.iandavidmorris.com/mecca-bef ... the-kaaba/
The location that best fits the description, as I already told you, is Leuke Kome
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leuke_Kome
And that is the consensus of all the most recent studies, not counting Muslim ones, who of course do anything to make Islam look right, including rewriting history. It is quite funny that you would agree with Edward Gibbon, the Orientalist most hated by Muslims, on this obvious mistake.
You would first need to provide multiple references to the city of Mecca in the first century, all stating that it had that "single" sanctuary. As there are no records at all of any such place, not even one tiny description, a piece of pottery, a ruin from that day, nothing at all, that theory is plain daft.
This post, from another topic, is also relevant here:
Takeiteasynow wrote: Dan Gibson has published a new paper on the Pre-Islamic Ka'ba.
Source: https://thesacredcity.ca/Four%20Kabas.pdf
The Pre-Islamic Ka’ba
Very little is known about the first pre-Islamic Ka’ba. However, from my survey of the earliest Qiblas, I concluded that the pre-Islamic Ka’ba must have been built in the city of Petra, because it was where all of the earliest Qiblas pointed. But first we need to learn something of the history of the Ka’ba.
From Islamic sources we learn that the history of this location goes back to Abraham and Ishmael. Allah revealed to Ibrahim, may peace be on him, to erect the Ka'ba when he was one hundred years old and Isma'il was thirty years old, so he built it with him. Isma'il died after his father and was interred inside al- Ḥijr close to the Ka`ba by the side of his mother Hajar. (Ibn Sa’ad Vol 1, 1.8.14. & Ṭabarī, Vol. I, p. 162, and Ibn Hishām 2).
In the above description several things are evident. Muslims believe that the original Ka’ba was built by Abraham and Ishmael, and the graves of Hagar and her son are located there, near the Ka’ba.
We also have descriptions of the Pre-Islamic mosque. First, Ibn Hishām tells us that the original Ka’ba was a small, roofless enclosure, with walls a little higher than a man.
...the Quraysh decided to rebuild the Ka`ba when the apostle was thirty-five years of age. They were planning to roof it and feared to demolish it, for it was made of loose stones above a man's height, and they wanted to raise it and roof it because men had stolen part of the treasure of the Ka`ba which used to be in a well in the middle of it. (Ibn Hishām 44)
Azraqī (pg. 27) tells us that it was made of rough stone laid dry. The dimensions of the sides are listed as: north-east: 32 cubits, north-west: 22 cubits, south-west: 31 cubits, south-east: 20 cubits. So the proportions were roughly 3:2. If we calculate a cubit as 0.4572 meters, then the dimensions would have been: 14.63 meters x 10.6 meters x 14.17 meters x 9.1 meters.
Dan Gibson projects these fine dimensions onto an ancient and unexplained structure in front of the Qasr al-Bint. He proposes this place as the original location of the Ka'ba.

Abraham is also said to have died age 175. This is hardly credible. It's much more likely that he died when he was 80, as a result of attempting to circumcise himself with an axe.
You mean you don't shave with an axe as people do?

There are narrow bays on Jeddah's coast, which is very close to Mecca. Again, Diodorus places it in an area of simple people who hunt land animals, off a particular coast in the Red Sea. The accounts of those that live by the coast and eat fish are also mentioned, which gives further evidnece that the Temple was located inland. He doesn;t equate it with the Nabateans and he doesn't do it with the Souther Arabian kingdoms. He places it in an area of simple people who hunt land animals, off a particular coast in the Red Sea. The accounts of those that live by the coast and eat fish are also mentioned, which gives further evidnece that the Temple was located inland per his understanding. Something very important to note and as will be demonstrated below, Diodorus isn't an authority on Arabia, he didn't venture into Arabia but was simply relating history according to 2nd-3rd hand records.
So how does one explain the error of judgment committed by two scholars, Muir and Gibbon- that too the same error, when neither of them are known to be sympathetic to Muslims, meaning they had every reason not to admit to Siculus' allusion to the Kaaba? Btw Gibbon was known for his accuracy in quoting primary sources,
providing in-depth detail regarding his use of sources for his work, which included documents dating back to ancient Rome.
But all this is besides the point, of course there was no single Kaaba in Arabia and this is attested by the Muslim sources as well much before the coming of people with their flimsy tales. The point is where is the single temple revered by all of Arabia in the 1st century?
As an aside, as already shown, Agatharchides' general description of the coast along the Arabian Peninsula is a lost work partially reconstructed from three other ancient authors: Diodorus (49 BC), Strabo (15 AD), Photius (897 AD). Agatharchides himself quotes from Alexandrian official records as well as relies heavily on another Greek writer, Anaxicrates. In short, neither Agatharchides nor Diodorus nor Strabo ventured in these areas they are comenting about and are all relying on second hand sources. Diodorus, as already shown, injects his comment about the universal Arabian temple within the same passage from Agatharchides that Strabo quotes, yet Strabo says nothing of the Temple.
There are other such situations where Diodorus differs from Strabo and Phontius as they all quote the same passage from Agatharchides, the most applicable being 87a where Diodorus inserts a passage about "an ancient altar that is made of hard stone and bears an inscription in lettering that is archaic and unintelligible" which is missing from Strabo in 87b.
The necessary implication of this point is, as stated above, Diodorus' statement on the Temple has most likely conflated accounts based upon second-hand information. Further, when Diodorus speaks of a temple commemorated by all Arabs, this does not mean he saw it or was actually present when Arabs were going there. He probably got it from a third-party source who also heard it from some Arab. It's a historical record from an outsider, not an insider.
As to potteries, china, forks and knives..
No modern archeological research was done in Mecca to determine its antiquity, because of the backward, reactionary wahabite dynasty of the Saud family that now rules over the area that has become known by its proper name; Saudi Arabia. Not only does this corrupt ideology prevent or strictly limits all historical and cultural endeavors, it in addition does not miss any occasion to systematically raze and destroy whatever artifact or construction it believes might lead to improper veneration. It is surprising that critics, mainly from the Judeo-Christian background point to that absence of evidence to undermine Mecca and the Kaaba's antiquity yet no archaeological evidence for Solomon's first temple's existence, let alone its location, has been discovered despite 19th century excavations, and no extra-biblical records of it have survived, despite it being a place where much more people flocked in for pilgrimage than to Mecca, bringing in all kinds of offerings, sacrificing thousands of animals according to the Bible.
The stone palace uncovered at the foot of Temple Mount in Jerusalem could attest that King David had been there; or it might belong to another era entirely, depending who you ask. There is no archeological evidence even for the second temple built on the first one's rubbles after the Babylonians sacked it in 587BCE, by the Jewish exiles returning from their Babylonian captivity 40 years later, even though its existence is corroborated by extra-biblical written sources. The only conclusive archeological evidence that exists is for Herod's temple (started in 20BCE and ended 80years after his death), supposedly built instead of the second temple which the rabbis thought was too modest in comparison to the first temple built by Solomon.
In fact no evidence exists for any of the events described in the Book of Genesis, such as the Jericho wall toppled by Joshua. More damning is that despite active digging like never before, from the Temple Mount to the Kidron Stream, via the neighborhood of Silwan, including the so-called City of David, with the exception of a few controversial sites, the imperial capital of a mighty unified kingdom as described in Scripture, of David and Solomon has not been found. Even the Timna copper mines, dubbed “King Solomon’s Mines” could hardly have been under Solomon's control; in the 10th century BC, no trace of powerful enough kingdom, to manage and require that ammount of copper, stretching as far south as Timna exists.
Islam made Mecca and the Kaaba known to the world, obviously as it spread beyond Arabia. Prior to that, its importance, greatness and historicity was confined to the Arabs and their oral tradition. When it was built by Abraham, who had the habit of building worship sites along his journeys as stated throughout Genesis, it wasnt meant to be the universal qibla at its onset but later on during the mission of the last prophet sent to humanity. It was initially a monotheistic settlement, from where God would manifest his promises of blessings to Ismail and his seed, the place where per Abraham's words in the Torah Ishmael "might live before the Lord".
Eagle don;t you think this is getting quite silly now? You postulate a Kaaba on the first century BC in Mecca from such poor evidence? Mecca does not fit the description. Now amount of wishful thinking makes it otherwise. As already pointed out, if Mecca really was such an important centre then we would have multiple sources about it, some written perhaps, but certainly archaeological ones. As these do not exist it is intellectually dishonest to insist that this one little sentence refers to Mecca. It could not, as there was no Mecca yet.
A much better explanation, free from bias of the sort you insist on, is given by Dan Gibson, as takeiteasynow has shown you. The other scholarly article I quoted from also explains why the "Kaaba" mentioned by Diodorus was in Nabatean territory, giving reasons from the sources we have.
So really this is going nowhere.
As to blaming the Saudis for the lack of evidence, they would be the first to parade it around the most spurious of evidence if they had any. They prevent the research because they know exactly, just as you do, that if they allowed the proper research then Islam would collapse as based on fairy tales.
So you cannot have it both ways. If Muslims prevent the digging they cannot also claim that the evidence in their favour is there. If you do not produce it then you must admit there is no evidence.

The only ridiculous thing that transpires from all this is that neither Gibson nor anybody else is capable of answering the simple question, where is the universal Arabian temple of the 1st century? There were none in Nabatean territory nor to the south. And there is no reason why the discription wouldn't fit Mecca.
And as already said, it is Islam that made Mecca known to the world, no explorer ever went inland to confirm its existence.
Mecca was not a passing point of voyagers nor a trade route, hence the scarcity of non-Arab sources mentionning it, besides the lack of inland explorations of the area by either Greek or Roman writers. Outside the annual pilgrimmage during which all of Arabia flocked in and generated profit to the city and its inhabitants, Meccans had to journey outside their own region to places like Syria and Palestine (in summer) and Yemen (in winter) to sell and buy goods because no trading route passed by or close to them. These long journeys were dangerous at the time and caravans were frequently raided and looted, however the Quraysh benefited from an immunitiy that was not provided to any other tribe, for they were given a special respect as the custodians of the Temple and caretakers of the pilgrims.
The issue of the Saudis was brought up, not to explain the so called lack of archeological support but to describe what reality on the ground consists of and the fact is that to their ideology, history and artifacts are insignificant.

Kazakhstan Takes Control of Russian Military Testing Range
■ Nazar TAMASHEVSKA
Kazakhstan has reached an agreement with Russia to take over most of a Russian military training facility in far western Kazakhstan. The deal represents the latest step in Kazakhstan’s efforts to regain control over the many Soviet-legacy military and other strategic facilities that Russia still operates in the country.
Under the agreement, Russia will hand over about 90% of the Taysoygan testing facility near Atyrau, Senator Sarsenbay Engsegenov told Astana TV. President Nursultan Nazarbayev instructed the Ministry of Defence to work out the details of the agreement, which should be ratified by parliament by the end of March, Engsegenov said. There hasn’t yet been any comment from the Russian side. This follows recent agreements that Astana has made with Moscow to get more control of the Balkhash missile testing site and the Baikonur space launch facility.
According to the protocols signed in 2007, Russia is required to pay some $25 mln/year for the lease of four testing grounds and related research facilities totalling 10 mln hectares on the territory of the former Soviet republic. 23% of Russia’s 4th state firing range at Kapustin Yar is located in Kazakhstan. In recent years, Kapustin Yar has been the site of the official trials of the Iskander-M missile system, as well as tests of the S-400 (SA-20 Triumf) surface-to-air missile system. The 929th State Test Flight Centre, also known as Taysoygan or Vladimirovka, is comprised of three sections in Atyrau, Mangystau, and Western Kazakhstan regions. The territory is used to test combat aircraft and various types of weapons for all branches of the military. The Sary-Shagan test site was established in 1956 as the 10th State Scientific Research Testing Range of the former Soviet Union where anti-ballistic missile defence systems, air defences, and laser weapons were tested. It was the only Soviet ABM test site permitted under the 1972 ABM Treaty. The Emba testing grounds, subordinated to Kapustin Yar in 1998, is where the F300, Buk, Tor and Tunguzka air defense systems have been tested.
But that’s in the past, Russian officials say. “In recent years we haven’t done any kind of testing that could harm the environment”, said Aleksandr Zimin, a representative of the facility, in an interview with local media in 2011. “We use this area as an air polygon, only for flights – we don’t drop anything, don’t explode anything. […] I can say with confidence, that for the last three years nothing has fallen or blown up.”
In the Soviet era, the site was used for nuclear testing (it was reportedly subject to 24 nuclear explosions in the 1960s and 70s), and today residents still talk about the environmental impact.
In spite of the environmental damage, the area is thought to be rich pastureland, and though locals already graze their livestock there, they say being able to do so legally will be much easier. Probably higher on the agenda than livestock grazing: the fact that oil has been discovered in the area and Kazakhstan needs full control to be able to exploit it.
Modern Atyrau is famous for its oil and fish industries. It has 154,100 inhabitants (2007), 90% ethnic Kazakhs (up from 80%), the rest being mostly Russians and other ethnic groups such as Tatars and Ukrainians.

Sample IRT-Based CAT
Figure 1 shows the response record of a single examinee’s progress through a CAT. This CAT was designed to make a dichotomous classification around theta = 1.0 (1 standard deviation above the mean), with a plus or minus 1 SEM band (a 68% confidence interval).
A Sample CAT Report
The initial theta estimate (X) was 0.0 and the test item providing maximum information at that theta level was administered and answered correctly (C). The initial step size was 3.0 to attempt to force a mixed (correct/incorrect) response pattern as quickly as possible, so the next item had maximum information at theta = 3.0. It, too, was answered correctly so additional difficult questions were given (Items 3 and 4) until an incorrect answer (I) was obtained. At that point, maximum likelihood estimation was used to obtain a theta estimate of 2.66. The item at that level (Item 5) was also answered incorrectly and the resulting theta estimate was 1.87 with an SEM of .94.
In this test, the examinee’s theta estimate followed a downward trend, falling below the cut score of theta = 1.0 at Item 15. But the theta estimate could not be assumed to be reliably below that cut score because the SEM band still included theta = 1.0. So the test continued for another 10 items until the examinee’s theta estimate and its SEM were entirely below the cut score. This occurred at Item 20 (.55 + .43 = .98, which is just below 1.00) and the test was terminated. The test results indicate that this examinee’s theta estimate was below the cut score, with at least 68% confidence (actually, in this case because that confidence interval was symmetric and 50% was below the mean, the confidence level of a unidirectional decision would be 50% + 34% = 84%). Higher confidence could have been obtained by using a 2 SEM interval around the theta estimate, which obviously would have a required a longer test.
This sample CAT response record illustrates several principles of IRT-based CAT:
Each time a correct answer was obtained, the theta estimate increased, and an incorrect answer led to a decrease in estimated theta.
The differences between successive theta estimates decreased as the test proceeded, indicating that the test was converging on the examinee’s theta level.
The SEM tended to decrease, since additional item responses generally improve the estimation of theta.
As the test progressed, the examinee tended to alternate between correct and incorrect answers, as can be seen beginning with Item 7 or 8. This is the result of the convergence process that underlies CAT. The result, typically, is that each examinee will answer a set of questions on which he/she obtains 50% correct, even though each examinee will likely receive a set of questions of differing difficulty. In a sense, this characteristic of a CAT tends to equalize the “psychological environment” of the test across examinees of different trait levels. By contrast, in a conventional test the examinee who is high on the trait will answer most items correctly and the low trait examinee will answer most of the items incorrectly.
Although this example is a CAT designed for dichotomous classification, the same principles would be observed in an equiprecise CAT. The only difference would be in the termination criterion. Rather than ending the CAT when estimated theta was reliably below the cut score, an equiprecise CAT would end when the SEM associated with the theta estimate fell below a prespecified value (e.g., .20).

What Is the FOCUS©?
Focus on the Outcomes of Communication Under Six (FOCUS © ) is a clinical tool designed to evaluate change in communicative-participation in preschool children. ‘Communicative participation’ is the child’s communication and interaction in “real world” situations at home, school, or in the community (Eadie et al., 2006).
The FOCUS is a valid, reliable, responsive treatment outcome measure that captures ‘real world’ changes following speech and language treatment. The FOCUS links speech and language treatment to the child’s ability to communicate and participate in their world. There are two versions of the measure, one designed for parents and one for clinicians. The items on both versions are the same.
Why do we need FOCUS?
Clinicians and families are always interested in knowing whether speech language therapy treatment makes a difference. To evaluate communication changes over time, we need measures (‘tools’) that are designed for the job. The Speech-Language & Audiology Canada(SAC-OAC) issued a position statement encouraging the use and development of outcome measures by speech-language pathologists and audiologists. They state that outcome measures should be used to improve practice in an evidence-based manner, in the best interests of clients (Outcome Measures Position Statement).
In order to ’measure up’, a tool needs to be validated (i.e., proven by research evidence) to be able to assess change over time in a meaningful way. The tool also needs to be reliable – that is, able to provide consistent information over time, and between times. It should also be clinically sensible (i.e., measure things we think are important) and easy to use (Rosenbaum et al., 1990).
Too often we use the wrong ‘tools’ for the job of measuring change – for example using a norm-referenced standardized test that is not designed to capture change. If the tool does not measure change when it has really happened, we may conclude (wrongly) that the treatment didn’t work, when in fact it was the measure that didn’t ‘work’!
The FOCUS measure created by Nancy Thomas-Stonell and her colleagues was developed using the principles of modern measurement science to ensure that it "does the job!"
How was the FOCUS and FOCUS-34 developed?
The FOCUS was developed over a 13 year time span. It was developed with parent and clinician input at 11 partner sites in 5 Provinces across Canada.
Parents of 210 preschool children and their clinicians were asked to describe the changes they observed following treatment (Thomas-Stonell et al., 2009). The comments aligned with the World Health Organization’s ICF-CY framework (WHO, 2007). FOCUS items were developed using the parents’ own wording.
The FOCUS measure was tested three times with 165 families and their clinicians. It was revised after each test phase using measurement science and parent/clinician feedback. Using this process, the FOCUS measure was reduced from 103 to 50 items. As the FOCUS was revised, most of the Body Function items were eliminated. There was an increased emphasis on ICF-CY Activities and Participation domain, especially performance items (Thomas-Stonell et al, 2010).
How was the FOCUS-34 developed?
In response to clinician and parent requests, we investigated the possibility of increasing the clinical efficiency of the FOCUS by reducing the total number of items while retaining its validity as a change detecting measure.
FOCUS change data on approximately 18,000 children were reviewed. Items that were less sensitive to change, were answered similarly for all children (i.e. didn’t discriminate well) or were strongly correlated to each other were removed, leaving 34 items. The FOCUS-34 change scores were found to predict change scores from the original FOCUS almost perfectly. The FOCUS-34 preserves the clinical integrity, internal consistency, reliability, and validity of the full FOCUS.
What do FOCUS items look like?
Sample FOCUS questions for Activity:
“My child uses new words.”
“My child can string words together.”
“My child uses words to ask for things.”
“My child talks a lot.”
Sample FOCUS questions for Participation:
“My child is included in play activities by other children.”
“My child gets along with other children.”
“My child is included in games by other children.”
“My child can communicate effectively with other children.”

Review: Caesar Live N Loud
“London based singer/songwriter FERGUS is back with brand new single Too Much.
Too Much, is the follow up to last month’s Zelda Mae and the second single to be taken from his second EP, Three Of Swords, set to arrive on August 7th via Goldun Egg Records.
I am a fan of his delicate, ethereal-like vocals and how they soar over the haunting melodies. I am loving the electric guitar lush melody being joined by emotive piano keys. The song then builds up with the addition of live drums that give the song a new growth, exploding in the final chorus. This is definitely a great song for a weekend at home alone with your thoughts.
Speaking about the song FERGUS said, ‘This song is about feeling trapped by conflicting emotions, obsessing over everything, then eventually exploding in an outburst you grow to regret, it may be cathartic, but costs your dignity. There’s a sad desperation, but also an element of cruelty in the line ‘I don’t want these memories’.”

Can a Copy of a Missing Will be Admitted to Probate?
AUGUST 15, 2016 VOLUME 23 NUMBER 30
You’ve signed your will. We’ve given you the original in a fancy envelope, and a copy showing your signatures. What should you do with it?
For most people, most of the time, it is sufficient to just keep the original will in a convenient place at home. What to do with the copy? Put it in a different, but also safe, place. Include a note telling your family where to look for the original.
What happens if we can’t find your will after you die? It may not mean that your estate plan is frustrated, but consider what happened to estate planning documents signed by Irene Wilson (not her real name).
Irene was a librarian and an author of children’s books, and she lived in Maryland. She never married, and had no children. She did have a niece and a nephew — her closest relatives — but she was not particularly close to them.
After her retirement, Irene moved to rural Pennsylvania. By age 87 she was still living at home but unable to easily get up her stairs; she set up a first-floor bedroom for herself. She also had a cousin who lived upstairs and helped take care of her.
In 2007 Irene contacted a local Pennsylvania lawyer about updating her will. She named a long-time friend as executrix (what we in Arizona would call personal representative) and left most of her estate to her church back in Maryland. Three years later she updated the will with a new codicil, naming her live-in caretaker as execturix; at the same time she transferred her home to the church she attended in Pennsylvania, reserving a life estate for herself.
Both the original will and the original codicil were carefully placed in an unlocked metal box near her bedroom on the first floor; “conformed” copies of both were in a locked safe in an upstairs bedroom. The attorney who prepared both documents also kept a “conformed” copy.
Pause a moment for explanation: what is a “conformed” copy? In modern usage, it is a photocopy of the original, unsigned document, with a notation like “/s/” placed on the signature blocks. Sometimes a stamped representation of the signer’s name is placed on the signature block. In either case, it indicates that the original was signed — though the signature itself is not usually copied.
Six months after Irene signed her will and placed her conformed copies near her downstairs bedroom, her niece came for a visit. It did not go well. The niece told Irene that there were important family documents and heirlooms that she wanted to receive on Irene’s death. She also told Irene that she should move out of her house and into a nursing home. Irene was upset by the visit, and by the follow-up phone calls from her niece.
A few months after the niece’s visit, Irene’s lawyer called on her at home. She did not say anything about wanting to change or revoke her will, or about any changes in her plans.
Irene died a week after the lawyer’s home visit. When her caretaker went to the house to retrieve the original will, she found an empty envelope in the downstairs box, and all of the papers missing from the safe upstairs. Oddly, the original codicil and some other papers were still in the downstairs box; the copies of those documents were missing from the safe.
Let’s stop here for a moment for reflection. Did Irene have a valid will? Can the copy of her will from her lawyer’s file be admitted to probate?
Ready to proceed? Do you have your answer?
There is a presumption under Pennsylvania law (which governed Irene’s probate case, since she lived and died in that state) that when an original will was in the decedent’s possession before death but can’t be found. The presumption makes sense: it is that the decedent must have destroyed the original with the intent to revoke it. The same presumption, by the way, exists under Arizona law (and, probably, under the probate laws of most or all of the U.S. states).
The Pennsylvania probate court (it’s actually called orphan’s court, but no matter) ruled that the evidence suggested that Irene had not intended to revoke her will, and the lawyer’s conformed copy was admitted to probate. The next level of review, however, resulted in the opposite outcome: the Pennsylvania Superior court reversed, ruling that two witnesses would have had to testify that they actually saw Irene sign the original document. That meant the will was invalid, though the codicil (which was still intact in the metal box) would be effective. Irene’s caretaker would be in charge of her estate, but her niece and nephew would inherit most of her wealth.
Was that your prediction? If not, then you might take comfort in the next step. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court reversed the intermediate ruling, returning the outcome to the probate court’s finding: the copy of Irene’s will was, after all, admitted to probate. The Supreme Court found that the lawyer’s testimony about witnesses to the original will was sufficient — there was no need to produce the actual witnesses to testify about the signing. In re Estate of Wilner, July 24, 2016.
Would the same thing happen in Arizona? Yes, almost certainly. Given how easy it is to make photocopies, most lawyers today would have copied the will after signature rather than making conforming marks on a copy, but the outcome would not be different in most cases. The key is whether there is a legitimate explanation about why the original might be missing, more than whether specific technical requirements have been met.
So what should people do with their original wills? Put them in a safe place. Tell someone — the person named as personal representative, close family members, or someone — where the originals are located. Keep track of originals over the years (do you know where your original will is right now?). But what happened to Irene is unlikely to happen if you are leaving your entire estate to your children in equal shares (or to your only niece and nephew).

The Forest of Images: Recent Exhibitions
“The whole visible universe is only a storehouse of images and signs to which the imagination assigns a place and a relative value; it is a kind of nourishment that the imagination must digest and transform.”
“Nature is a temple in which living columns sometimes emit confused words. Man approaches it through forests of symbols, which observe him with familiar glances.”
Symbolism, both as a movement in poetry as well as painting, is often said to have its source in Baudelaire’s writings. I suppose one could argue that this notion is a bit of inherited, modern European chauvinism, and that one might just as easily trace the origins of all symbolic expression to the cave paintings and petroglyphs of Cro-Magnon people living in the Dordogne 40,000 years ago. But for the purpose of reflecting on contemporary painting practice as it happens now, Baudelaire is just as good a jumping-off point as any. Depending on what historical scheme you want to follow, after Baudelaire comes Stéphane Mallarmé, then Paul Gaugin, and from there the trail branches off into a wilderness of groups, movements and characters, all clamoring for their place in the modern story of poetry and painting, in all its manifold expressions.
Nearly a century and a half separates us from Baudelaire now, and the forest of images has grown up around us, a vast expanse of confusion and promise. Where do these images arise from, and where do they go? The Romantic poets and their Symbolist heirs asked this question, and in their attempts to answer they gave the world Van Gogh and Gaugin, Wagner, Nietzsche, and Freud. When the Dadaists asked these questions they gave rise to Surrealism. Perhaps it was Warhol who joked that when late twentieth-century modernism asks these questions, they get the internet, along with a raft of corporate logos and advertising as a response; but Andy Warhol died before the internet came into being, so it probably wasn’t him. Compared to Baudelaire’s Paris, or the Dadaist’s Zurich, the 21st century metropolis is a whirlpool of commercial images in constant, swirling motion. Be that as it may, it seems as if the post-modern art spirit continues to ask, Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? Even when it seems that the only answers coming back are network sound-bites, YouTube clips and corporate pornography, the questions persist.
The Bruce High Quality Foundation’s installation at the Whitney Biennial, We Like America, and America Likes Us is a darkly humorous elegy for a culture that is so deep in decline it appears to be coming apart at the seams. A white Cadillac ambulance is parked on the fourth floor of the Whitney in a room by itself, headlights shining against a blank wall, white curtains drawn over the rear windows, the driver’s side and passenger windows painted black. On the windshield, from somewhere inside the vehicle, a continuous looped video is projected, so that the ambulance has been transformed into a kind of movie theater. The video is a long montage of YouTube clips from familiar film and television broadcasts, presented in a documentary style, as if Ken Burns were giving an overview of late twentieth-century culture in a series of short snippets.
The framing device of the ambulance itself is actually where the video loop begins: a scene from Joseph Beuys’ important 1974 performance, the sardonically titled I Like America, and America Likes Me. Beuys arrives at JFK airport wearing his iconic felt fedora and fishing vest, disembarking from the plane with his hand covering his eyes; he is met by a pair of assistants who immediately wrap him in a gray felt blanket and load him into the back of a Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance, almost identical to the one sitting in the museum. We then see the white vehicle, with lights flashing, rushing through traffic to arrive at the René Block gallery in Manhattan, where Beuys will spend the next several days alone in a room with a coyote—an animal of symbolic importance in much of Native American mythology.
Beuys’ performance has been discussed at length elsewhere, so I will just mention here that after establishing some rapport with the animal over 3 days he embraced the coyote and then left New York City the same way that he arrived, being carried to JFK in the back of the ambulance, later explaining “I wanted to isolate myself, insulate myself, see nothing of America other than the coyote.” It happens that the Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance is also commonly used as a hearse, and this dual function of the vehicle forms part of the poetic irony of the Bruce installation; a female voice narrates a long, rambling, narrative-poem in which America is eulogized as a person who has recently died, or perhaps a lover or spouse who has been separated. The ambulance that carried Joseph Beuys to commune with the Native Spirit of America has now become a hearse, presumably with the dead corpse of America lying concealed in the back, the ghost of our collective fantasies about “America” flickering on the windshield in a late-night television rerun with the sound turned off. For me, We Like America, and America Likes Us is the most potent piece in this year’s Biennial; in it’s satiric way it establishes a theme that runs throughout the rest of the exhibits; even the choice of having a female narrator for the voiceover seems significant, as much of the strongest work in the rest of the show is by women.
So here is my list of notables from the Whitney Biennial: the Bruce High Quality Foundation is a collective of anonymous artists, each of them named “Bruce;” after that, Nina Berman, Dawn Clements, Hannah Greely, Josephine Meckseper, Erika Vogt, Sharon Hayes, Aurel Schmidt, Kate Gilmore, Maureen Gallace, and Julia Fish, in no particular order. Four video artists, two painters, two drafts-women, a sculptor and a photographer, plus the Bruce installation.
Josephine Meckseper’s video, Mall of America, continues the critique of American cultural identities—a long, slow-motion video shot with color filters in a large, sprawling shopping mall, with an ominous, droning soundtrack. The combination of slow-motion, saturated color and menacing ambient sound transforms the commonplace environment of a suburban shopping center into a nightmarish underworld. In one sequence a Hollywood war movie is playing on a flat-screen TV behind a glass display case, and the camera zooms in until we are momentarily “inside” the movie which is playing inside the Mall—a simple but effective way to conflate the theater of “actual” warfare with Hollywood and the pervasive consumer culture that the Mall-space represents.
Kate Gilmore’s Standing Here is a claustrophobic video installation: watching the artist punch and kick her way out of the narrow confinement of a sheet-rock cubicle is made more visceral by the fact that the actual space she shot the video in is right there in the room, next to where the video is being projected. As I was standing there watching Gilmore—who is wearing a red dress with white polka-dots—kick and tear at the confining walls, I heard several of the people with me remark how uptight and claustrophobic it made them feel. The gray, silo-like cube is of course intended to be metaphoric of repressive patriarchal structures that confine and challenge women—but I suppose it could also be symbolic of forces or ideas that can confine and limit any of us, whether those forces be patriarchal, political, aesthetic, or even “feminist.”
“Angel T” by Tourya Othman
“Sacre (Homage to Michelangelo Galliani)” by Michela Martello
“Courage (detail)” by Michela Martello
“Cuore” by Michela Martello
“Last One” by Michela Martello
“Venus” by Michela Martello
Michela Martello and Tourya Othman are two artists currently exhibiting at the Tria gallery, in a show entitled Idols and Icons. Working in a symbolist mode of representation, both artists create paintings derived from the imagery of traditional religious and spiritual iconography. Othman’s paintings of cherubic “angel heads” put one in mind of the Baroque paintings of Georges de la Tour with their open-mouthed depictions of ecstatic rapture and numinous awe in bold chiaroscuro—but with the introduction of a surreal chromatic intensity that is reminiscent of the Chicago Imagist painter Ed Paschke, or even some of the later, hallucinogenic realism of Salvador Dali.
Martello’s five canvases draw on historical, religious imagery from both Eastern and Western culture to create a personal symbolism—images of Italian sculpture and Latin American folk art as well as Hindu and Buddhist depictions of bodhisattva-like figures. There’s a certain lightness of touch and handling of paint that reminds me of recent fresco paintings by Francesco Clemente. But the personal symbolism and feminine concern with identity also makes one think of Frida Kahlo or Leonora Carrington—two artists whose work is in the spirit of Baudelaire’s Symbolist ideas. Courage features the truncated form of a standing warrior brandishing a sword in the manner of a Hindu or Buddhist ceremonial court figure, while the kilt worn by the bodhisattva-like guardian has numerous nude female figures painted on it, each of them situated in various states of repose upon a pink field. The alluring, relaxed eroticism of the small dakini-like women combined with the masculine solidity and strength of the sword-wielding figure is a compelling combination of opposites.
Perhaps it is appropriate that Cuore, a small square painting of a red heart with the aorta severed and a small yellow tiger standing in the middle, is situated on a blue field directly above Courage. The courage and open-heartedness that is required to be an artist in a world obsessed with confining formalist structures, as Kate Gilmore seems to be suggesting in her work at the Whitney? Or, perhaps more specifically the courage to be a female artist in a milieu that is traditionally dominated by men. I think Martello is too intelligent of an artist to allow herself to be confined to any one of these meanings. A friend who is deeply involved with esoteric Buddhist practices has suggested that the image could simply be evoking the courage to remain an open human being, working with the forms that one has inherited from one’s culture while remaining free from their limitations. In any case, Cuore with it’s little tiger in the center and the suggestion of gratitude as an antidote for anger and greed is possibly my favorite painting in the show, along with Last One, a painting of fifteen miniature Christmas decorations that the artist sketched while traveling in Ecuador. This is the painting that most puts me in mind of Clemente with its lightness of touch, gentle naiveté, and suggestion of mystical portents. Each figure is delicately rendered, as in an old illustrated catalog of children’s toys, and is floating against a seemingly empty field of raw canvas. As in the best of Clemente’s work, there is a mystery in the presence of the figures that escapes explanation.
“No ideas but in things.”—William Carlos Williams
As I was preparing to work on this entry, an advance copy of Christopher Sunset, the new book of poetry by Geoffrey Nutter, arrived in the mail. Mr. Nutter is one of those rare poets who, like John Ash or Pablo Neruda, is possessed of a genius that simultaneously opens out towards a field of mystical imagery—laden with the possibility of transcendence—while remaining firmly grounded in the matter-of-fact, stubborn currency of the everyday, the here-and-now.
A poem by Mr. Nutter entitled Thanksgiving declares:
I’ve been puzzled long enough
by modernity and its poems.
It’s evening. I’m walking down
to the river to watch the sun set.
The clouds are like millions of bright blue leaves
scattered across the sky.
I’m sitting in the shade of a massive tree
but the shade is alive. And under the sunset
the giant gray trestles of the bridge.
And under the bridge, and nearer to me,
shards of bottles and the gravel
of the down-at-the-heels marina,
its broken-down boathouse, the gray
cinder blocks in the weeds, an overturned
boat, a length of black tubing.
It’s all coming together now.
It’s the sky and the earth, resting together
in the unassuming darkness.
—Thanksgiving, from Christopher Sunset, ©2010 by Geoffrey Nutter, published by Wave Books

The dance community starts out strong this season with five straight weekends of stunning contemporary dance.
New Dance Partners at Johnson County Community College’s Carlsen Center, which has facilitated some thrilling performances during its tenure, once again brings together the Kansas City Ballet, Owen/Cox Dance Company, Störling Dance Theater and Wylliams/Henry Contemporary Dance Company with national-level choreographers (Sept. 27 and 28).
Wylliams/Henry restages Mary Pat Henry’s 2010 “Southern Exposure” multimedia dance theater piece, reconstructing powerful memories from the South before and after integration, at UMKC’s White Hall (Oct. 4 and 5).
Kansas City Ballet presents the world premiere of Adam Hougland’s “Carmina Burana” to the music of Carl Orff, following a powerful performance of Hougland’s “Rite of Spring” a few years ago. The triple bill includes the return of Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s amusing “Tulips & Lobster” and Helen Pickett’s gorgeous-hued, light-infused “Petal” (Oct. 11 – 13 and 18 – 20).
Owen/Cox brings KC-native singer/songwriter Krystle Warren back from her home in Paris to collaborate on a world premiere performance based on her album “Love Songs” at JCCC’s Polsky Theatre (Oct. 19 and 20).

Address of Thanks from the Presbyterians of London, April 1687
A printed version of the text can be found on pages 397 and 398 of English Historical Documents, 1660-1714, edited by Andrew Browning (London: Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1953).
To the King's Most Excellent Majesty,
The humble address of several ministers of the Gospel in and about the City of London, commonly called Presbyterians.
May it please Your Majesty,
We, your most obedient subjects, who among many others do rejoice in the fruit of your royal bounty, do hereby most humbly and heartily make our grateful acknowledgement to Almighty God, who has thus inclined your royal mind, and to yourself, dread sovereign, whose princely pity now rescues us from our long sufferings, and by the same royal act restores God to the empire over conscience, and publishs to the world your Christian judgment that conscience may not be forced, and your resolution that such force shall not be attempted in your kingdoms during your reign, which God grant may be long over us. We likewise return Your Majesty most unfeigned thanks for your tender care of our rights and properties, and for declaring your further inclination to engage your two Houses of Parliament in a concurrence with you in so excellent a work, which we pray and hope God will incline them to for His glory, Your Majesty's joy and honour, and for the welfare of all Your Majesty's loyal subjects, that we, with others Your Majesty's subjects, in a just security under your protection, may with a constant emulation strive to be most forward and faithful in our allegiance to your person and crown.
Be pleased, dread sovereign, graciously to accept this humble acknowledgment and unfeigned thanks of Your Majesty's most obedient subjects, who do and shall, as in duty bound, every pray, etc.

Welcome to the town page for Dartford. Explore your town map to discover people who lived in your town during the First World War.
Don’t forget to visit the 100 MILES page for the Trail information and downloadable leaflet, booklet, walking directions and quiz. These trails were developed in partnership with Dr Mike Still.
Dartford had established industries prior to the First World War all of which diversified their output to support the War effort. As early as January 1914 J E Hall had expanded their factory in expectation of increased demand for heavy machinery should Britain be involved in a War. The Dartford workhouse was handed over to Vickers- Armstrong in 1915 for use as a hostel to house additional munitions workers needed to increase production of munitions. Previously the Workhouse had been used to house the first Belgian refugees to arrive in Dartford in Autumn 1914.
Nearby Joyce Green airfield had been in use from 1911 and was the home of Vickers and Sons who developed their planes at Joyce Green. It was used by the Royal Flying Corp during the War as a training airfield and also had a squadron based there to defend against enemy air attacks. Aircraft were scrambled on Christmas Day December 1914 to intercept German bombers who had dropped bombs near Cliffe. There was an anti-aircraft battery at the top of Brent Road in Dartford which shot down a Zeppelin in 1916; the first recorded shooting down of a Zeppelin by ground fire in the country.
In October 1914 the local Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) unit Kent 116 was mobilised when wounded Belgian soldiers arrived, there was a Red Cross Auxiliary hospital in Heath Close, Dartford. The local unit was supported by VAD personnel from all over the country and even from overseas due to the large number of hospitals in the area. In 1915 the Lower Southern Hospital was given to the military authorities to treat German prisoners of war and became known as Dartford War Hospital; also in 1915 the Orchard became a convalescent hospital for wounded soldiers it had 1,200 beds. In October 1916 the Orchard became the Dartford Australian Auxiliary Hospital ( number 3) and the Upper Southern Hospital at Gore Road was taken over in 1918 by the American’s as a Base Hospital and became the largest American hospital in England with over 2,000 beds and a cinema.
An event which happened in August 1917,which was not caused by enemy action, was the complete destruction by fire of the tram sheds containing all the trams which transported thousands of workers a day.
Dartford War Memorial is situated in its original position of Central Park, Market Street, Dartford, DA1 1EU

Ernest Achille Boudrie (b 6 October 1897) was the third child of Ernest (b1871), a carpenter, and Frances (b 1871) who had six children in total.
Ernest enlisted with the 4th Royal West Kent Regiment as a private but transferred to the 3rd (City of London) Battalion the Royal Fusiliers in the London Regiment between November 1915 and January 1916. He served on the Western Front from the 1st September 1916 until he was killed in action on the 16th of August 1917 and is commemorated on the Menin Gate.
His younger brother Leonard Edmund Boudrie (b 1899) also served as a bandsman in the Royal West Kent Regiment and was a keen runner. Leonard was to survive the War and was still serving in 1924 when he married.
Their elder sister Eunice married an Australian soldier William Harold Hutchison in Dartford on the 24 July 1919 and subsequently emigrated to Australia. Her parents were to join her in December 1922 and Leonard also emigrated to Australia in the 1920s.

Review: Diffusion MRI, DTI, and Movement Disorders
Curr Neurol Neurosci Rep. 2013 Nov;13(11):400. doi: 10.1007/s11910-013-0400-1.
The evolving role of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging in movement disorders.
Hess CW, Ofori E, Akbar U, Okun MS, Vaillancourt DE.
Significant advances have allowed diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evolve into a powerful tool in the field of movement disorders that can be used to study disease states and connectivity between brain regions. Diffusion MRI is a promising potential biomarker for Parkinson’s disease and other forms of parkinsonism, and may allow the distinction of different forms of parkinsonism. Techniques such as tractography have contributed to our current thinking regarding the pathophysiology of dystonia and possible mechanisms of penetrance. Diffusion MRI measures could potentially assist in monitoring disease progression in Huntington’s disease, and in uncovering the nature of the processes and structures involved the development of essential tremor. The ability to represent structural connectivity in vivo also makes diffusion MRI an ideal adjunctive tool for the surgical treatment of movement disorders. We review recent studies using diffusion MRI in movement disorders research and present the current state of the science as well as future directions.
REM sleep problems linked with freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease
Posted on August 20, 2013 by lrnlab
Neurology. 2013 Aug 14. [Epub ahead of print]
Increased REM sleep without atonia in Parkinson disease with freezing of gait.
Videnovic A, Marlin C, Alibiglou L, Planetta PJ, Vaillancourt DE, Mackinnon CD.
The objective of this cross-sectional study was to test the hypothesis that patients with Parkinson disease (PD) and freezing of gait (PD+FOG) would demonstrate sleep disturbances comparable to those seen in patients with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and these changes would be significantly different from those in PD patients without FOG (PD-FOG) and age-matched controls.
We conducted overnight polysomnography studies in 4 groups of subjects: RBD, PD-FOG, PD+FOG, and controls. Tonic and phasic muscle activity during REM sleep were quantified using EMG recordings from the chin, compared among study groups, and correlated with disease metrics.
There were no significant differences in measures of disease severity, duration, or dopaminergic medications between the PD+FOG and PD-FOG groups. Tonic muscle activity was increased significantly (p < 0.007) in the RBD and PD+FOG groups compared to the PD-FOG and control groups. There was no significant difference in tonic EMG between the PD+FOG and RBD group (p = 0.364), or in tonic or phasic EMG between the PD-FOG and control group (p = 0.107). Phasic muscle activity was significantly increased in the RBD group compared to all other groups (p = 0.029) and between the PD+FOG and control group (p = 0.001), but not between the PD+FOG and PD-FOG groups (p = 0.059). CONCLUSIONS: These findings provide evidence that increased muscle activity during REM sleep is a comorbid feature of patients with PD who exhibit FOG as a motor manifestation of their disease.

New article published on Parkinson’s disease, atypical parkinsonism, and essential tremor

Diffusion tensor imaging of Parkinson’s disease, atypical parkinsonism, and essential tremor.
Prodoehl J, Li H, Planetta PJ, Goetz CG, Shannon KM, Tangonan R, Comella CL, Simuni T, Zhou XJ, Leurgans S, Corcos DM, Vaillancourt DE.
Diffusion tensor imaging could be useful in characterizing movement disorders because it noninvasively examines multiple brain regions simultaneously. We report a multitarget imaging approach focused on the basal ganglia and cerebellum in Parkinson’s disease, parkinsonian variant of multiple system atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy, and essential tremor and in healthy controls. Seventy-two subjects were studied with a diffusion tensor imaging protocol at 3 Tesla. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to directly compare groups. Sensitivity and specificity values were quantified for control versus movement disorder (92% sensitivity, 88% specificity), control versus parkinsonism (93% sensitivity, 91% specificity), Parkinson’s disease versus atypical parkinsonism (90% sensitivity, 100% specificity), Parkinson’s disease versus multiple system atrophy (94% sensitivity, 100% specificity), Parkinson’s disease versus progressive supranuclear palsy (87% sensitivity, 100% specificity), multiple system atrophy versus progressive supranuclear palsy (90% sensitivity, 100% specificity), and Parkinson’s disease versus essential tremor (92% sensitivity, 87% specificity). The brain targets varied for each comparison, but the substantia nigra, putamen, caudate, and middle cerebellar peduncle were the most frequently selected brain regions across classifications. These results indicate that using diffusion tensor imaging of the basal ganglia and cerebellum accurately classifies subjects diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, atypical parkinsonism, and essential tremor and clearly distinguishes them from control subjects. © 2013 Movement Disorder Society.
UF study finds brain-imaging technique can help diagnose movement disorders
http://news.ufl.edu/2013/06/13/brain-imaging/
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A new University of Florida study suggests a promising brain-imaging technique has the potential to improve diagnoses for the millions of people with movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.
Utilizing the diffusion tensor imaging technique, as it is known, could allow clinicians to assess people earlier, leading to improved treatment interventions and therapies for patients.
The three-year study looked at 72 patients, each with a clinically defined movement disorder diagnosis. Using a technique called diffusion tensor imaging, the researchers successfully separated the patients into disorder groups with a high degree of accuracy.
The study is being published in the journal Movement Disorders.
“The purpose of this study is to identify markers in the brain that differentiate movement disorders which have clinical symptoms that overlap, making [the disorders] difficult to distinguish,” said David Vaillancourt, associate professor in the department of applied physiology and kinesiology and the study’s principal investigator.
“No other imaging, cerebrospinal fluid or blood marker has been this successful at differentiating these disorders,” he said. “The results are very promising.”
Movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, multiple system atrophy and progressive supranuclear palsy exhibit similar symptoms in the early stages, which can make it challenging to assign a specific diagnosis. Often, the original diagnosis changes as the disease progresses, Vaillancourt said.
Diffusion tensor imaging, known as DTI, is a non-invasive method that examines the diffusion of water molecules within the brain and can identify key areas that have been affected as a result of damage to gray matter and white matter in the brain. Vaillancourt and his team measured areas of the basal ganglia and cerebellum in individuals, and used a statistical approach to predict group classification. By asking different questions within the data and comparing different groups to one another, they were able to show distinct separation among disorders.
“Our goal was to use these measures to accurately predict the original disease classification,” Vaillancourt said. “The idea being that if a new patient came in with an unknown diagnosis, you might be able to apply this algorithm to that individual.
He compared the process to a cholesterol test.
“If you have high cholesterol, it raises your chances of developing heart disease in the future,” he said. “There are tests like those that give a probability or likelihood scenario of a particular disease group. We’re going a step further and trying to utilize information to predict the classification of specific tremor and Parkinsonian diseases.”
Vaillancourt and his team are part of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Parkinson’s Disease Biomarkers Program, an effort that was launched in 2012 and awarded nine grants to scientists across the U.S., totaling more than $5 million in the first year. The program gives researchers access to a much broader community of individuals and patients as part of a biomarker initiative for Parkinson’s disease.
Vaillancourt’s team is engaged in a longitudinal study at UF that will assess between 150 and 180 people over the next few years. His team will be using DTI as well as other MRI-based techniques to classify subjects and track their progression, he said.

People with Parkinson’s with Tremors Show Different Brain Activity Than Those Without Tremors
Posted on April 11, 2013 by lrnlab
Science News:
People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) who experience tremor of the hand or leg show different brain activity than people without tremors, according to a report in the January 2013 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association Neurology. These differences, revealed by brain scans with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), point to pathologically distinct forms of Parkinson’s disease.

A two-year randomized controlled trial of progressive resistance exercise for Parkinson’s disease.
Corcos DM, Robichaud JA, David FJ, Leurgans SE, Vaillancourt DE, Poon C, Rafferty MR, Kohrt WM, Comella CL.
The effects of progressive resistance exercise (PRE) on the motor signs of Parkinson’s disease have not been studied in controlled trials. The objective of the current trial was to compare 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-month outcomes of patients with Parkinson’s disease who received PRE with a stretching, balance, and strengthening exercise program. The authors conducted a randomized controlled trial between September 2007 and July 2011. Pairs of patients matched by sex and off-medication scores on the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale, motor subscale (UPDRS-III), were randomly assigned to the interventions with a 1:1 allocation ratio. The PRE group performed a weight-lifting program. The modified fitness counts (mFC) group performed a stretching, balance, and strengthening exercise program. Patients exercised 2 days per week for 24 months at a gym. A personal trainer directed both weekly sessions for the first 6 months and 1 weekly session after 6 months. The primary outcome was the off-medication UPDRS-III score. Patients were followed for 24 months at 6-month intervals. Of 51 patients, 20 in the PRE group and 18 in the mFC group completed the trial. At 24 months, the mean off-medication UPDRS-III score decreased more with PRE than with mFC (mean difference, -7.3 points; 95% confidence interval, -11.3 to -3.6; P<0.001). The PRE group had 10 adverse events, and the mFC group had 7 adverse events. PRE demonstrated a statistically and clinically significant reduction in UPDRS-III scores compared with mFC and is recommended as a useful adjunct therapy to improve Parkinsonian motor signs. © 2013 Movement Disorder Society.

Force control deficits in individuals with Parkinson’s disease, multiple systems atrophy, and progressive supranuclear palsy
Kristina A. Neely, Peggy J. Planetta, Janey Prodoehl, Daniel M. Corcos, Cynthia L. Comella, Christopher G. Goetz, Kathleen L. Shannon, and David E. Vaillancourt
PLOS ONE (in press)
Objective: This study examined grip force and cognition in Parkinson’s disease (PD), Parkinsonian variant of multiple system atrophy (MSAp), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and healthy controls. PD is characterized by a slower rate of force increase and decrease and the production of abnormally large grip forces. Early-stage PD has difficulty with the rapid contraction and relaxation of hand muscles required for precision gripping. The first goal was to determine which features of grip force are abnormal in MSAp and PSP. The second goal was to determine whether a single variable or a combination of motor and cognitive measures would distinguish patient groups. Since PSP is more cognitively impaired relative to PD and MSAp, we expected that combining motor and cognitive measures would further distinguish PSP from PD and MSAp.
Methods: We studied 44 participants: 12 PD, 12 MSAp, 8 PSP, and 12 controls. Patients were diagnosed by a movement disorders neurologist and were tested off anti-Parkinsonian medication. Participants completed a visually guided grip force task wherein force pulses were produced for 2 s, followed by 1 s of rest. We also conducted four cognitive tests.
Results: PD, MSAp, and PSP were slower at contracting and relaxing force and produced longer pulse durations compared to controls. PSP produced additional force pulses during the task and were more cognitively impaired relative to other groups. A receiver operator characteristic analysis revealed that the combination of number of pulses and Brief Test of Attention (BTA) discriminated PSP from PD, MSAp, and controls with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity.
Conclusions: Slowness in contracting and relaxing force represent general features of PD, MSAp, and PSP, whereas producing additional force pulses was specific to PSP. Combining motor and cognitive measures provides a robust method for characterizing behavioral features of PSP compared to MSAp and PD.

Happy birthday to Subarna Mustafa
She will take National Film Award Dec 8
DL REPORTER, Dhaka
Photo courtesy : Mohsin Ahmed
Ekushey Padak winning actress Suborna Mustafa, a popular name in the country’s acting industry, worked in a variety of projects over the years.
She has been recently nominated for Best Supporting Actor (female) at the Bangladesh National Film Awards for 2017 for the film ‘Gohin Baluchor’, directed by Badrul Anam Saud.
Earlier, the seasoned actress was nominated in the same category for her first commercial film ‘Notun Bou’ (1983) but refused to accept the award as she played a titular role in the film.
DhakaLive has news that this time the actress confirmed that she is going to receive the award from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on December 8.
Regarding the award, Suborna said, “The film ‘Gohin Baluchor’ is nominated for the National Film Award in seven categories. It was really pleasant news for all of us. Still, I hoped that in the designated category like Best Music Director, Best Singer and Best Villain music director Emon Saha, singers Bappa Majumder and Dinat Jahan Munni and actor Jitu Ahsan respectively would win awards as well. Nevertheless, our entire team of ‘Gohin Baluchor’ is very happy.”
However, today is Suborna Mustafa’s birthday.
About her birthday, the actress said, “According to me every day is the same day for me where every work is as important as the next one. But still, as it is my birthday, my routine work has got nothing important to do.
The people who are close to me, celebrate the day which I always like the most. I seek blessings from everyone on this day”.

"The astonishing true account of John Chapman, Medal of Honor recipient and Special Ops Combat Controller, and his heroic one-man stand during the Afghan War, as he sacrificed his life to save the lives of 23 comrades-in-arms. In the predawn hours of March 4, 2002, just below the 10,469-foot peak of a mountain in eastern Afghanistan, a fierce battle raged. Outnumbered by Al Qaeda fighters, Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman and a handful of Navy SEALs struggled to take the summit in a desperate bid to find a lost teammate. Chapman, leading the charge, was gravely wounded in the initial assault. Believing he was dead, his SEAL leader ordered a retreat. Chapman regained consciousness alone, with the enemy closing in on three sides. John Chapman's subsequent display of incredible valor -- first saving the lives of his SEAL teammates and then, knowing he was mortally wounded, single-handedly engaging two dozen hardened fighters to save the lives of an incoming rescue squad -- posthumously earned him the Medal of Honor. Chapman is the first airman in nearly fifty years to be given the distinction reserved for America's greatest heroes. Alone at Dawn is also a behind-the-scenes look at the Air Force Combat Controllers: the world's deadliest and most versatile special operations force, whose members must not only exceed the qualifications of Navy SEAL and Army Delta Force teams but also act with sharp decisiveness and deft precision -- even in the face of life-threatening danger. Drawing from firsthand accounts, classified documents, dramatic video footage, and extensive interviews with leaders and survivors of the operation, Alone at Dawn is the story of an extraordinary man's brave last stand and the brotherhood that forged him."--Provided by publisher

Second Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) Meeting of Experts for Maritime Safety and Security
By MIMA Webmaster
In Latest News
7-8 Nov 2017
The Institute for Defence Studies and Analysis (IDSA) in collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India and IORA organied the Second Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) Meeting of Experts for Maritime Safety and Security (MS&S). The meeting brought together 18 IORA member states, 150 participants and 50 experts for a two day meeting at the IDSA auditorium. The meeting was conducted along the following Sessions:
a. Session I. Maritime Safety and Security Challenges in the Indian Ocean Region
b. Session II. Geostrategic Cooperation: An Indian Ocean Architecture
c. Session III. Inclusive Approach to Maritime Domain Awareness
d. Session IV. Regional Regal Framework for Maritime Governance
e. Session V. Creating Synergy in Capacity and Capability Building, and
f. Session VI. Concluding Session: Outcomes and Deliverables.
Capt. Martin A. Sebastian RMN (R), Senior Fellow and Centre Head, Centre for Maritime Security and Diplomacy (MSD) was invited to Chair a Session as well speak in the meeting.
The meeting identified that by and large, maritime security threats that affect the IO region are generally from non state actors namely criminal elements engaged in piracy, illegal unreported and unregistered (IUU) fishing; and smuggling/trafficking especially drugs and people. Maritime safety issues focused on Search and Rescue (SAR). These issues, among others, were illustrated in the Jakarta Concord which was adopted on 7 March 2017 during the First IORA Summit held in Jakarta, Indonesia. It has been reported that the cost of maritime crimes run into billions of dollars. IUU fishing has already become a food and resource security issue. One key deliverable is to address these issues in a more comprehensive manner.
Capt. Martin informed the meeting that maritime crimes are simply not a maritime matter as transnational organised crime syndicates operate from land and enjoy the bounty on land. There is a need for security to evolve as threats have evolved into a transnational “business”. Land and sea security agencies must work together at national, sub-regional and regional levelsto bust these syndicates through successful conviction and put them out of business. In order to achieve that, a concerted effort is required to better understand the landscape and seascape of these threats. Their demand-supply logistics are to be determined and assessed. Comprehensive action is required to detect, disrupt, destroy and deter these threats through a synergized approach. These crimes cannot be dealt with by any single agency nor by any individual nation. Stakeholders beyond IORA need to be engaged as partners in the plan of action. In doing so, there is no need to further duplicate the efforts by agencies but to form a framework for better security governance including the closure of loopholes in law which allows these crimes to operate. Combatting corruption should be made a priority to remove the 'weeds from the lawn'.
SAR requires the strengthening of cooperation and coordination between aeronautical and maritime rescue coordination centres (ARCC & MRCC) where there is a need to revisit the concept of Joint RCC(JRCC) instead of being separate. These will reduce the management of scarce resources, duplication of efforts and better capacity/capability building with enhanced information flow to save lives.
Within the IORA Priority Area 6, where MS&S falls, the Action Plan 2017-2021 has called for Flagship Initiatives in the short, medium and long term. The short term initiative, among others, explores the establishment of MIMA as an IORA Centre of Excellence (COE) for MS&S. In this context, Capt. Martin proposed that MIMA will undertake the initiative to address MS&S issues through a concerted effort.MIMA has identified a comprehensive plan of action within the short term to develop a framework on MS&S for the IO region which will be submitted to the IORA Secretariat through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the national focal point for IORA.

COCO: a simple tool to enrich the representation of conformational variability in NMR structures.
Title COCO: a simple tool to enrich the representation of conformational variability in NMR structures.
Authors Laughton, Charles A., Orozco Modesto, and Vranken Wim
Journal Proteins
Pagination 206-16
Date Published 2009 Apr
Keywords Amyloid beta-Peptides, Antifreeze Proteins, Biomolecular, Calmodulin, Computational Biology, Computer Simulation, Databases, Models, Molecular, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Peptide Fragments, Principal Component Analysis, Protein, Protein Conformation, Proteins
NMR structures are typically deposited in databases such as the PDB in the form of an ensemble of structures. Generally, each of the models in such an ensemble satisfies the experimental data and is equally valid. No unique solution can be calculated because the experimental NMR data is insufficient, in part because it reflects the conformational variability and dynamical behavior of the molecule in solution. Even for relatively rigid molecules, the limited number of structures that are typically deposited cannot completely encompass the structural diversity allowed by the observed NMR data, but they can be chosen to try and maximize its representation. We describe here the adaptation and application of techniques more commonly used to examine large ensembles from molecular dynamics simulations, to the analysis of NMR ensembles. The approach, which is based on principal component analysis, we call COCO ("Complementary Coordinates"). The COCO approach analyses the distribution of an NMR ensemble in conformational space, and generates a new ensemble that fills "gaps" in the distribution. The method is very rapid, and analysis of a 25-member ensemble and generation of a new 25 member ensemble typically takes 1-2 min on a conventional workstation. Applied to the 545 structures in the RECOORD database, we find that COCO generates new ensembles that are as structurally diverse-both from each other and from the original ensemble-as are the structures within the original ensemble. The COCO approach does not explicitly take into account the NMR restraint data, yet in tests on selected structures from the RECOORD database, the COCO ensembles are frequently good matches to this data, and certainly are structures that can be rapidly refined against the restraints to yield high-quality, novel solutions. COCO should therefore be a useful aid in NMR structure refinement and in other situations where a richer representation of conformational variability is desired-for example in docking studies.

WE WELCOME YOU
(THOUGH WE'RE NOT HERE,, WE STILL ARE)
***This page needs a massive update. I'm far behind....***
Hi, I'm Robert, that's me on the left, and we're the LOWER ARLINGTON VAN CLUB. This is our story>>>> Starting in the early '70's, quite a few people in our area bought vans. After years of going in circles, we finally got it together... The club was founded in 1977. Most all of the original members lived in Arlington, Va., on the South side of town - hence the name of the club. Over the years, we've had many camping trips together, held many parties, and been to about a dozen "Van Festivals" (kind of like a Woodstock on wheels). Twenty-four years later, and we're still going! Turn out for events can get a bit thin at times, but we're still TRUCKIN'. The once mighty membership of active truckers has gone from a high of around twenty-five, down to a low of about five today. I guess getting old (too many years, too many beers) had a lot to do with it... Our ages have gone up, just like the price of gas. But ahhh,,, there's still nothing like a VAN! It's not a means of transportation, it's a way of life!!
(Hey!, the price of gas is coming down, but my age is still going up!! What's going on here?? - No. No. Gas is now going up, just like my age. I feel better. HUH??)
Of course most people know, that when it comes to vans, GM RULES! I can't help it, it's true.. But really, it's not that important what you drive, as long as you have a van, you're one of us! Dig it, dig it,, it's 50/50 on whether GM rules, but you can bet, it's 100% on VANS THEMSELVES RULE!!
SUVs? Big deal. When you go somewhere in one of those, you get there, provided some drunk farmer hasn't shot you, and you're sitting in a car.. BOR-ING. I'm telling you, when I go somewhere in my van, I always have one of my favorite places with me! (Invite drunk farmer in for another drink,, talk rifles..!)
(what sucks more? AOL or SUV??)
AOL!! it's like a set of training wheels! (never used them...)
It's been more than once, around town, when I'm out shopping or whatever, that I get real tired and wish I had a place to crash, right now.. Problem? AS IF!! I just jump into the back, and chill.. I figure,, if I can do it on a mountain top, I can do it here, in this parking lot, and let the world go on by! Works every time.. To steal the title of an album by Marshall Crenshaw, "My Truck Is My Home". I'm not telling you vanners anything you don't already know, and I'm speaking the truth to the rest of you, when I say: VANS GET IT!!!
(for Short Timers, it's a Fashion - for True Truckers, it's a Passion)(Even though now,, some of our people just use their vans as "grocery getters", if they still have them!) (SISSIES!!)
VANNING (FOR US) ORIGINALLY- Oh, to be young,, stupid,, with no future whatsoever... THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!!
October 29, 1998 "VAN" Rhodeside Grill, Arlington, Va., about ten minutes away, Alene (wife) and myself went. Not a "van" thing, but a "VAN" thing! Lisa and company kicked! They were so good.. (update 1/2000 - seems they have disbanded,, that's what happens when I like things...)
HEY!! In May of 2000, DEAN MOORE will be holding a "VANFEST" in Richmond, Va., see the link up on the top of this page, left side. UPDATE- This has been called off. Some people raised a stink because it was being put on by an individual, and not a club. What can you say? -He had the best FESTs. **
See you on the road.. Trucking! - While we monitor CB channel 19, we use channel 21. A quick two above the norm, w/ no bleed over.

*** Me? (Resident Computer Dude, Charter Member) (First Van Fest, "Remember Butler", Butler Pa., 1974) Sorry, but you won't find any extra chrome, spoilers, etc., on my truck. Raised roofs? Not for me. When it comes to vans, I'm a purist. Just give me a bare van, and let's see what happens.. There's nothing on my van to hurt. It may look Spartan on the outside, but it's comfortable in the back, where it counts! ..Guess I was never part of the "Look At Me!" generation...! Mini vans? They do get the job done,, but I can't relate.. I'm 6'4''! Need a full size van for a full size man! (Update.. Lately though,, I have been thinking about a CHEVY ASTRO for the future. - Mid life crisis? Or what??) I got my first car when I was 16. Had it for a year and a half. Since then, it's been nothing but vanning.. I put my disposable dollars into investments, like real estate. Picked up 10 acres in the Va. foothills last year (my own private Idaho!). The place is great! Break out the firearms!! - - MAJOR UPDATE! As of 8/31/99, I have a son! Another vanner!! (From VW Van Memiors(link above) - OUR CHEVY VAN LOVERS HAVE A SON ....Robert and Alene Watson's baby boy arrived August 31.

G.R. No. 172346, July 24, 2013 - SPOUSES NAMEAL AND LOURDES BONROSTRO, Petitioners, v. SPOUSES JUAN AND CONSTANCIA LUNA, Respondents.
G.R. No. 172346, July 24, 2013
SPOUSES NAMEAL AND LOURDES BONROSTRO, Petitioners, v. SPOUSES JUAN AND CONSTANCIA LUNA, Respondents.
DEL CASTILLO, J.:
Questioned in this case is the Court of Appeals’ (CA) disquisition on the matter of interest.
Petitioners spouses Nameal and Lourdes Bonrostro (spouses Bonrostro) assail through this Petition for Review on Certiorari1 the April 15, 2005 Decision2 of the CA in CA-G.R. CV No. 56414 which affirmed with modifications the April 4, 1997 Decision3 of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Quezon City, Branch 104 in Civil Case No. Q-94-18895. They likewise question the CA’s April 17, 2006 Resolution4 denying their motion for partial reconsideration.
Factual Antecedents
In 1992, respondent Constancia Luna (Constancia), as buyer, entered into a Contract to Sell5 with Bliss Development Corporation (Bliss) involving a house and lot identified as Lot 19, Block 26 of New Capitol Estates in Diliman, Quezon City. Barely a year after, Constancia, this time as the seller, entered into another Contract to Sell6 with petitioner Lourdes Bonrostro (Lourdes) concerning the same property under the following terms and conditions:cralavvonlinelawlibrary
The stipulated price of P1,250,000.00 shall be paid by the VENDEE to the VENDOR in the following manner:cralavvonlinelawlibrary
(a) P200,000.00 upon signing x x x [the] Contract To Sell,
(b) P300,000.00 payable on or before April 30, 1993,
(c) P330,000.00 payable on or before July 31, 1993,
(d) P417,000.00 payable to the New Capitol Estate, for 15 years at [P6,867.12] a month,
x x x [I]n the event the VENDEE fails to pay the second installment on time, [t]he VENDEE will pay starting May 1, 1993 a 2% interest on the P300,000.00 monthly. Likewise, in the event the VENDEE fails to pay the amount of P630,000.00 on the stipulated time, this CONTRACT TO SELL shall likewise be deemed cancelled and rescinded and x x x 5% of the total contract price [of] P1,250,000.00 shall be deemed forfeited in favor of the VENDOR. Unpaid monthly amortization shall likewise be deducted from the initial down payment in favor of the VENDOR.7
Immediately after the execution of the said second contract, the spouses Bonrostro took possession of the property. However, except for the P200,000.00 down payment, Lourdes failed to pay any of the stipulated subsequent amortization payments.
Ruling of the Regional Trial Court
On January 11, 1994, Constancia and her husband, respondent Juan Luna (spouses Luna), filed before the RTC a Complaint8 for Rescission of Contract and Damages against the spouses Bonrostro praying for the rescission of the contract, delivery of possession of the subject property, payment by the latter of their unpaid obligation, and awards of actual, moral and exemplary damages, litigation expenses and attorney’s fees.
In their Answer with Compulsory Counterclaim,9 the spouses Bonrostro averred that they were willing to pay their total balance of P630,000.00 to the spouses Luna after they sought from them a 60-day extension to pay the same.10 However, during the time that they were ready to pay the said amount in the last week of October 1993, Constancia and her lawyer, Atty. Arlene Carbon (Atty. Carbon), did not show up at their rendezvous. On November 24, 1993, Lourdes sent Atty. Carbon a letter11 expressing her desire to pay the balance, but received no response from the latter. Claiming that they are still willing to settle their obligation, the spouses Bonrostro prayed that the court fix the period within which they can pay the spouses Luna.
The spouses Bonrostro likewise belied that they were not paying the monthly amortization to New Capitol Estates and asserted that on November 18, 1993, they paid Bliss, the developer of New Capitol Estates, the amount of P46,303.44. Later during trial, Lourdes testified that Constancia instructed Bliss not to accept amortization payments from anyone as evidenced by her March 4, 1993 letter12 to Bliss.
On April 4, 1997, the RTC rendered its Decision13 focusing on the sole issue of whether the spouses Bonrostro’s delay in their payment of the installments constitutes a substantial breach of their obligation under the contract warranting rescission. The RTC ruled that the delay could not be considered a substantial breach considering that Lourdes (1) requested for an extension within which to pay; (2) was willing and ready to pay as early as the last week of October 1993 and even wrote Atty. Carbon about this on November 24, 1993; (3) gave Constancia a down payment of P200,000.00; and, (4) made payment to Bliss.
The dispositive portion of the said Decision reads:cralavvonlinelawlibrary
WHEREFORE, in view of the foregoing, judgment is hereby rendered as follows:cralavvonlinelawlibrary
1.) Declaring [t]he Contract to Sell executed by the plaintiff [Constancia] and defendant [Lourdes] with respect to the house and lot located at Blk. 26, [L]ot 19, New Capitol Estate[s], Diliman[,] Quezon City to be in force and effect. And that Lourdes Bonrostro must remain in the possession of the premises.
2.) Ordering the defendant[s] to pay plaintiff[s] within 60 days from receipt of this decision the sum of P300,000.00 plus an interest of 2% per month from April 1993 to November 1993.
3.) Ordering the defendant[s] to pay plaintiff[s] within sixty (60) days from receipt of this decision the sum of P330,000.00 plus an interest of 2% [per month] from July 1993 to November 1993.
4.) Ordering the defendant[s] to reimburse plaintiff[s] the sum of P214,492.62 which plaintiff[s] paid to Bliss Development Corporation.
No pronouncement as to Cost.
SO ORDERED.14
As their Motion for Reconsideration15 was likewise denied in an Order16 dated July 15, 1997, the spouses Luna appealed to the CA.17
Ruling of the Court of Appeals
In its Decision18 of April 15, 2005, the CA concluded that since the contract entered into by and between the parties is a Contract to Sell, rescission is not the proper remedy. Moreover, the subject contract being specifically a contract to sell a real property on installment basis, it is governed by Republic Act No. 655219 or the Maceda Law, Section 4 of which states:cralavvonlinelawlibrary
Sec. 4. In case where less than two years of installment were paid, the seller shall give the buyer a grace period of not less than sixty days from the date the installment became due.
If the buyer fails to pay the installments due at the expiration of the grace period, the seller may cancel the contract after thirty days from receipt by the buyer of the notice of cancellation or the demand for rescission of the contract by a notarial act. (Emphases supplied)
The CA held that while the spouses Luna sent the spouses Bonrostro letters20 rescinding the contract for non-payment of the sum of P630,000.00, the same could not be considered as valid and effective cancellation under the Maceda Law since they were made within the 60-day grace period and were not notarized. The CA concluded that there being no cancellation effected in accordance with the procedure prescribed by law, the contract therefore remains valid and subsisting.
The CA also affirmed the RTC’s finding that Lourdes was ready to pay her obligation on November 24, 1993.
However, the CA modified the RTC Decision with respect to interest, viz:cralavvonlinelawlibrary
Nevertheless, there is a need to modify the appealed decision insofar as (i) the interest imposed on the sum of P300,000.00 is only for the period April 1993 to November 1993; (ii) the interest imposed on the sum of P330,000.00 is 2% per month and is only for the period July 1993 to November 1993; (iii) it does not impose interest on the amount of P214,492.62 which was paid by Constancia to BLISS in behalf of Lourdes x x x
The rule is that ‘no interest shall be due unless it has been expressly stipulated in writing’ (Art. 1956, Civil Code). However, the contract does not provide for interest in case of default in payment of the sum of P330,000.00 to Constancia and the monthly amortizations to BLISS.
Considering that Lourdes had incurred x x x delay in the performance of her obligations, she should pay (i) interest at the rate of 2% per month on the sum of P300,000.00 from May 1, 1993 until fully paid and (ii) interest at the legal rate on the amounts of P330,000.00 and P214,492.62 from the date of default (August 1, 1993 and April 4, 1997 [date of the appealed decision], respectively) until the same are fully paid x x x 21
Hence, the dispositive portion of the said Decision:cralavvonlinelawlibrary
WHEREFORE, the appealed decision is AFFIRMED with the MODIFICATIONS that paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 of its dispositive portion shall now read:cralavvonlinelawlibrary
2.) Ordering the defendants to pay plaintiffs the sum of P300,000.00 plus interest thereon at the rate of 2% per month from May 1, 1993 until fully paid;
3.) Ordering the defendants to pay plaintiffs the sum of P330,000.00 plus interest thereon at the legal rate from August 1, 1993 until fully paid; and
4.) Ordering the defendants to reimburse plaintiffs the sum of P214,492.62, which plaintiffs paid to Bliss Development Corporation, plus interest thereon at the legal rate from filing of the complaint until fully reimbursed.
The spouses Luna no longer assailed the ruling. On the other hand, the spouses Bonrostro filed a Partial Motion for Reconsideration23 questioning the above-mentioned modifications. The CA, however, denied for lack of merit the said motion in a Resolution24 dated April 17, 2006.
Hence, this Petition for Review on Certiorari.
The basic issue in this case is whether the CA correctly modified the RTC Decision with respect to interests.
The Parties’ Arguments
As may be recalled, the RTC under paragraphs 2 and 3 of the dispositive portion of its Decision ordered the spouses Bonrostro to pay the spouses Luna the sums of P300,000.00 plus interest of 2% per month from April 1993 to November 1993 and P330,000.00 plus interest of 2% per month from July 1993 to November 1993, respectively. The CA modified these by reckoning the payment of the 2% interest on the P300,000.00 from May 1, 1993 until fully paid and by imposing interest at the legal rate on the P330,000.00 reckoned from August 1, 1993 until fully paid.
The spouses Bonrostro harp on the factual finding of the RTC, as affirmed by the CA, that Lourdes was willing and ready to pay her obligation as evidenced by her November 24, 1993 letter to Atty. Carbon. They also assert that the sending of the said letter constitutes a valid tender of payment on their part. Hence, they argue that they should not be assessed any interest subsequent to the date of the said letter. Neither should they be ordered to pay interest on the amount of P214,492.62 which covers the amortizations paid by the spouses Luna to Bliss. They point out that it was Constancia who prevented them from fulfilling their obligation to pay the amortizations when she instructed Bliss not to accept payment from them.25
The spouses Luna, on the other hand, aver that the November 24, 1993 letter of Lourdes is not equivalent to tender of payment since the mere sending of a letter expressing the intention to pay, without the accompanying payment, cannot be considered a valid tender of payment. Also, if the spouses Bonrostro were really willing and ready to pay at that time and assuming that the spouses Luna indeed refused to accept payment, the former should have resorted to consignation. Anent the payment of amortization, the spouses Luna explain that under the parties’ Contract to Sell, Lourdes was to assume Constancia’s balance to Bliss by paying the monthly amortization in order to avoid the cancellation of the earlier Contract to Sell entered into by Constancia with Bliss.26 However, since Lourdes was remiss in paying the same, the spouses Luna were constrained to pay the amortization. They thus assert that reimbursement to them of the said amount with interest is proper considering that by reason of such payment, the spouses Bonrostro were spared from the interests and penalties which would have been imposed by Bliss if the amortizations remained unpaid.
The Petition lacks merit.
The spouses Bonrostro’s reliance on the
RTC’s factual finding that Lourdes was
willing and ready to pay on November
24, 1993 is misplaced.
As mentioned, the RTC in resolving the Complaint focused on the sole issue of whether the failure of spouses Bonrostro to pay the installments of P300,000.00 on April 30, 1993 and P330,000.00 on July 31, 1993 is a substantial breach of their obligation under the contract as to warrant the rescission of the same.27 The said court ratiocinated, viz:cralavvonlinelawlibrary
After careful evaluation of the evidence testimonial and documentary, the Court believes that the defendants[’] delay in the payment of the two installment[s] is not so substantial [as to] warrant [rescission] of contract. Although, the defendant failed to pay the two installments [i]n due time, she was able to communicate with the plaintiffs through letters requesting for an extension of two months within which to pay the installment[s]. In fact, on November 24, 1993 defendant informed Atty. Arlene Carbon that she was ready to pay the installments and the money is ready for pick-up. However, plaintiff did not bother to get or pick-up the money without any valid reason. It would be very prejudicial on the part of the defendant if the contract to sell be rescinded considering that she made a downpayment of P200,000.00 and made partial amortization to the Bliss Development Corporation. In fact, the defendant testified that she is willing and ready to pay the balance including the interest on November 24, 1993.
The Court is of the opinion that the delay in the payment of the balance of the purchase price of the house and lot is not [so] substantial [as to] warrant the rescission of the contract to sell. The question of whether a breach of contract is substantial depends upon the attendant circumstance. x x x28
Clearly, the RTC arrived at the above-quoted conclusion based on its mistaken premise that rescission is applicable to the case. Hence, its determination of whether there was substantial breach. As may be recalled, however, the CA, in its assailed Decision, found the contract between the parties as a contract to sell, specifically of a real property on installment basis, and as such categorically declared rescission to be not the proper remedy. This is considering that in a contract to sell, payment of the price is a positive suspensive condition, failure of which is not a breach of contract warranting rescission under Article 119129 of the Civil Code but rather just an event that prevents the supposed seller from being bound to convey title to the supposed buyer.30 Also, and as correctly ruled by the CA, Article 1191 cannot be applied to sales of real property on installment since they are governed by the Maceda Law.31
There being no breach to speak of in case of non-payment of the purchase price in a contract to sell, as in this case, the RTC’s factual finding that Lourdes was willing and able to pay her obligation – a conclusion arrived at in connection with the said court’s determination of whether the non-payment of the purchase price in accordance with the terms of the contract was a substantial breach warranting rescission – therefore loses significance. The spouses Bonrostro’s reliance on the said factual finding is thus misplaced. They cannot invoke their readiness and willingness to pay their obligation on November 24, 1993 as an excuse from being made liable for interest beyond the said date.
The spouses Bonrostro are liable for
interest on the installments due from the
date of default until fully paid.
The spouses Bonrostro assert that Lourdes’ letter of November 24, 1993 amounts to tender of payment of the remaining balance amounting to P630,000.00. Accordingly, thenceforth, accrual of interest should be suspended.
Tender of payment “is the manifestation by the debtor of a desire to comply with or pay an obligation. If refused without just cause, the tender of payment will discharge the debtor of the obligation to pay but only after a valid consignation of the sum due shall have been made with the proper court.”32 “Consignation is the deposit of the [proper amount with a judicial authority] in accordance with rules prescribed by law, after the tender of payment has been refused or because of circumstances which render direct payment to the creditor impossible or inadvisable.”33
“Tender of payment, without more, produces no effect.”34 “[T]o have the effect of payment and the consequent extinguishment of the obligation to pay, the law requires the companion acts of tender of payment and consignation.”35
As to the effect of tender of payment on interest, noted civilist Arturo M. Tolentino explained as follows:cralavvonlinelawlibrary
When a tender of payment is made in such a form that the creditor could have immediately realized payment if he had accepted the tender, followed by a prompt attempt of the debtor to deposit the means of payment in court by way of consignation, the accrual of interest on the obligation will be suspended from the date of such tender. But when the tender of payment is not accompanied by the means of payment, and the debtor did not take any immediate step to make a consignation, then interest is not suspended from the time of such tender. x x x x36 (Emphasis supplied)
Here, the subject letter merely states Lourdes’ willingness and readiness to pay but it was not accompanied by payment. She claimed that she made numerous telephone calls to Atty. Carbon reminding the latter to collect her payment, but, neither said lawyer nor Constancia came to collect the payment. After that, the spouses Bonrostro took no further steps to effect payment. They did not resort to consignation of the payment with the proper court despite knowledge that under the contract, non-payment of the installments on the agreed date would make them liable for interest thereon. The spouses Bonrostro erroneously assumed that their notice to pay would excuse them from paying interest. Their claimed tender of payment did not produce any effect whatsoever because it was not accompanied by actual payment or followed by consignation. Hence, it did not suspend the running of interest. The spouses Bonrostro are therefore liable for interest on the subject installments from the date of default until full payment of the sums of P300,000.00 and P330,000.00.
The spouses Bonrostro are likewise liable
for interest on the amount paid by the
spouses Luna to Bliss as amortization.
The spouses Bonrostro want to be relieved from paying interest on the amount of P214,492.62 which the spouses Luna paid to Bliss as amortizations by asserting that they were prevented by the latter from fulfilling such obligation. They invoke Art. 1186 of the Civil Code which provides that “the condition shall be deemed fulfilled when the obligor voluntarily prevents its fulfillment.”
However, the Court finds Art. 1186 inapplicable to this case. The said provision explicitly speaks of a situation where it is the obligor who voluntarily prevents fulfillment of the condition. Here, Constancia is not the obligor but the obligee. Moreover, even if this significant detail is to be ignored, the mere intention to prevent the happening of the condition or the mere placing of ineffective obstacles to its compliance, without actually preventing fulfillment is not sufficient for the application of Art. 1186.37 Two requisites must concur for its application, to wit: (1) intent to prevent fulfillment of the condition; and, (2) actual prevention of compliance.38
In this case, while it is undisputed that Constancia indeed instructed Bliss on March 4, 1994 not to accept payment from anyone but her, there is nothing on record to show that Bliss heeded the instruction of Constancia as to actually prevent the spouses Bonrostro from making payments to Bliss. There is no showing that subsequent to the said letter, the spouses Bonrostro attempted to make payment to and was refused by Bliss. Neither was there a witness presented to prove that Bliss indeed gave effect to the instruction contained in Constancia’s letter. While Bliss’ Project Development Officer, Mr. Ariel Cordero, testified during trial, nothing could be gathered from his testimony regarding this except for the fact that Bliss received the said letter.39 In view of these, the spouses Luna could not be said to have placed an effective obstacle as to actually prevent the spouses Bonrostro from making amortization payments to Bliss.
On the other hand, there are telling circumstances which militate against the spouses Bonrostro’s claimed keenness to comply with their obligation to pay the monthly amortization. After the execution of the contract in January 1993, they immediately took possession of the property but failed to make amortization payments. It was only after seven months or on November 18, 1993 that they made payments to Bliss in the amount of P46,303.44.40 Whether the same covers previous unpaid amortizations is also not clear as the receipt does not indicate the same41 and per Statement of Account42 as of March 8, 1994 issued by Bliss, the unpaid monthly amortizations for February to November 1993 in the total amount of P78,271.69 remained outstanding. There was also no payment made of the amortizations due on December 4, 1993 and January 4, 199443 before the filing of the Complaint on January 11, 1994.
On the part of the spouses Luna, it is understandable that they paid the amortizations due. The assumption of payment of the monthly amortization to Bliss was made part of the obligations of the spouses Bonrostro under their contract with the spouses Luna precisely to avoid the cancellation of the earlier contract entered into by Constancia with Bliss. But as the spouses Bonrostro failed in this obligation, the spouses Luna were constrained to pay Bliss to avoid the adverse effect of such failure. This act of the spouses Luna proved to be even more beneficial to the spouses Bonrostro as the cancellation of the Contract to Sell between Constancia and Bliss would result in the cancellation of the subsequent Contract to Sell between Constancia and Lourdes. Also, the spouses Bonrostro were relieved from paying the penalties that would have been imposed by Bliss if the monthly amortizations covered by the said payment remained unpaid. The Statements of Account44 issued by Bliss clearly state that each monthly amortization is due on or before the fourth day of every month and a penalty equivalent to 1/10th of 1% per day of delay shall be imposed for all payments made after due date. That translates to 3% monthly or 36% per annum rate of interest, three times higher than the 12% per annum rate of interest correctly imposed by the CA.
Hence, the resulting situation is that the spouses Luna are constrained to part with their money while the spouses Bonrostro, despite being remiss in their obligation to pay the monthly amortization, are relieved from paying higher penalties at the expense of the former. This is aside from the fact that the spouses Bonrostro are in continued possession of the subject property and are enjoying the beneficial use thereof. Under the circumstances and considering that the spouses Bonrostro are obviously in delay in complying with their obligation to pay the amortizations due from February 1993 to January 1995 for which the spouses Luna paid P214,492.62,45 the CA correctly ordered the reimbursement to the latter of the said amount with interest. “Delay in the performance of an obligation is looked upon with disfavor because, when a party to a contract incurs delay, the other party who performs his part of the contract suffers damages thereby.”46 As discussed, the spouses Luna obviously suffered damages brought about by the failure of the spouses Bonrostro to comply with their obligation on time. “And, sans elaboration of the matter at hand, damages take the form of interest x x x.”47 Under Article 2209 of the Civil Code, “[i]f the obligation consists in the payment of a sum of money, and the debtor incurs in delay, the indemnity for damages, there being no stipulation to the contrary, shall be the payment of the interest agreed upon, and in the absence of stipulation, the legal interest x x x.” There being no stipulation on interest in case of delay in the payment of amortization, the CA thus correctly imposed interest at the legal rate which is now 12% per annum.
WHEREFORE, the Petition for Review on Certiorari is DENIED and the assailed Decision dated April 15, 2005 and the Resolution dated April 17, 2006 of the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. CV No. 56414 are AFFIRMED.

ASVABulous!
It is difficult to know whether to Marines Corps recruits depicted in Stanley Kubric’s Vietnam War epic “Full Metal Jacket” had to sit for the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery before being enlisted. The movie itself does not provide this information nor does it provide clues from which this information could be arrived at through the powers of deductive reasoning. Not only can we as audience members viewing the movie not tell whether the characters took the ASVAB test, we also have no way of knowing if they prepared for the ASVAB test by taking the ASVAB practice test.
Certainly if the characters in “Full Metal Jacket” had prepared for the ASVAB test itself by taking multiple versions of the ASVAB practice test they would have been exposed both to the format of the test itself but also the ten distinct subject areas covered included within the test. These subject areas include General Science, Arithmetic Reasoning, Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Auto and Shop Information, Mathematics Knowledge, Mechanical Comprehension as well as Electronics Information.
Even though the characters in “Full Metal Jacket” were enlisted in the United States Marines Corps, in modern times all candidates for enlistment in the United States Armed Services must sit for the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery prior to enlistment. The is true regardless of whether the candidate seeks enlistment in the United States Army, the United States Navy, the United States Air Force, the United States Marines Corps, the United States Coast Guard or the United States National Guard. The purpose of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery is twofold. First, the ASVAB tests whether the candidate for enlistment is an appropriate candidate. Second the ASVAB will provide information as to which jobs within the United States Armed Services are the best match for the candidate’s unique talents.

Alcatel-Lucent Ventures into 400G Networking
Thursday Mar 8th 2012 by Sean Michael Kerner
Though 100 gigabit data transmission is still very new, technology is coming to quadruple it.
As the demand for bandwidth continues to grow, so too are the technologies that help to deliver it. One such example is the new 400 gigabit per second photonic service engine (PSE) that was announced this week by Alcatel-Lucent.
The 400G PSE will initially be available for Alcatel-Lucent's 1830 Photonic Switch Platform, which is a DWDM optical networking platform. The 400G PSE isn't just about new 400G wavelengths, it can also help to optimize existing 100G traffic flows as well.
"For 100G applications we will be able to extend the reach from the current XR product of 2,000KM all the way to 3,000 KM," Dave Brown, director of Product Marketing for Alcatel-Lucent's optics portfolio, told InternetNews.com. The 100G XR (extended reach) card was just announced in December.
The 400G PSE can be viewed as a complementary technology to the 400 gigabit FP3 chip that Alcatel-Lucent announced in June of 2011 for its Ethernet portfolio. The FP3 is a 400G network processor that goes into Alcatel-Lucent's core routers for Ethernet transport.
"On the optical side, the photonic service engine is for Layer 1 optical transport," Brown said. "The relationship is that we have both pieces of the puzzle in terms of IP and optics."
In moving towards 400G support, Alcatel-Lucent is venturing into an area where standards have yet to be fully defined. 400G is something that both the ITU and IEEE are currently evaluating. A 400G card could also be used as a way to multiplex four 100G inputs for transport.
"The actual standards are probably one or two years away and in the meantime people can play with it and put it into their systems," Brown said.
The added advantage from a service provider perspective for both 100G and 400G is that it doesn't require the in-ground fiber to be replaced. As such, a provider can use the same fiber they have today that only deliver 10G traffic to potentially enable 400G traffic in the future.
"It's compatible with fiber that it's the ground now," Brown said. "That's the beauty of it, since it's based on the coherent technology and can operate side by side with 10G and 40G traffic that might already be on those lines."

Toxicogenomic responses of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans to gold nanoparticles
Tsyusko, Olga V.; Unrine, Jason M.; Spurgeon, David; Blalock, Eric; Starnes, Daniel; Tseng, Michael; Joice, Greg; Bertsch, Paul M.. 2012 Toxicogenomic responses of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans to gold nanoparticles. Environmental Science & Technology, 46 (7). 4115-4124. https://doi.org/10.1021/es2033108
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/es2033108
We used Au nanoparticles (Au-NPs) as a model for studying particle-specific effects of manufactured nanomaterials (MNMs) by examining the toxicogenomic responses in a model soil organism, Caenorhabditis elegans. Global genome expression for nematodes exposed to 4-nm citrate-coated Au-NPs at the LC10 level (5.9 mg·L–1) revealed significant differential expression of 797 genes. The levels of expression for five genes (apl-1, dyn-1, act-5, abu-11, and hsp-4) were confirmed independently with qRT-PCR. Seven common biological pathways associated with 38 of these genes were identified. Up-regulation of 26 pqn/abu genes from noncanonical unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway and molecular chaperones (hsp-16.1, hsp-70, hsp-3, and hsp-4) were observed and are likely indicative of endoplasmic reticulum stress. Significant increase in sensitivity to Au-NPs in a mutant from noncanonical UPR (pqn-5) suggests possible involvement of the genes from this pathway in a protective mechanism against Au-NPs. Significant responses to Au-NPs in endocytosis mutants (chc-1 and rme-2) provide evidence for endocytosis pathway being induced by Au-NPs. These results demonstrate that Au-NPs are bioavailable and cause adverse effects to C. elegans by activating both general and specific biological pathways. The experiments with mutants further support involvement of several of these pathways in Au-NP toxicity and/or detoxification.

Weekly Feature: Maggie Rogers
Maggie Rogers is a quirky 20-something who considers her songs to be creatures and her banjo to be a trusty sidekick. Fueled by movement and loss, Maggie’s music seems to have grown up alongside her, each album more intricate and more sophisticated than the last. Perhaps the Maggie who self-released her debut “The Echo” back in 2012 was less acquainted with heartbreak, the art of profanity, and the “blood ballet” that relationships can often be. However, we’re happy for the life and for the learning between her first record and her latest— ‘Blood Ballet’ is a near-perfect articulation of full-bodied pain, and that pain makes for some lovely sounds. Read on to hear what the folk singer has to say about her inspirations, her experiences, and her latest release.
LINK: Jillian Dooley's interview with Maggie Rogers
Maggie Rogers music is included in The Deli's playlist of Best Rootsy songs by emerging NYC artists - check it out!

Meet What's Possible
Moving Your Life Forward, Wildebeest Style
by Breonna Rodriguez
Photo by Stig Nygaard
Forward — the world’s most popular and worthwhile travel destination. Resting out on the horizon, tucked under the sun, it’s an oasis awaiting for all of us. If we are diligent enough, we can pick up our lives and go there as often as we like — moving on to less debt, better relationships or maybe even just a happier us. Whatever we want, it’s waiting for us.
And yet, despite its obvious benefits, it’s a hard ass trip to commit to sometimes. With obstacles both known and unseen, it’s difficult to know if forward is a place where we can be. Sometimes we don’t know if we can get to new jobs, better lovers, more money or our deepest dreams. And we have no clue if we’ll actually make it there or hurt along the way, or if it’s a mistake to move forward all together.
As we move toward our goals this year, let’s not allow the anxieties of moving forward become a stumbling block for us. Because let’s face it. As my mother always says:
“You won’t be the first to do this, and you sure as hell won’t be the last to do it either.”
And it’s true. Even if you don’t know who did it, or how to find them at this moment, there will always be someone who has done what you want to do. Or done something damn near similar enough that you can glean from their story and make a pathway to your own goals. And that’s so comforting, right? With just a little willpower, some Googling and camaraderie, you really can get to where you want to go.
Enter the story of the wildebeest: a great example of moving forward from nature herself.

Every year, around 1.5 million of these beautiful animals and their closest friends trek almost 1,800 miles through plains of the Africa; obstacles be damned. Their reason: to LIVE. Food and water supplies dwindle away over time and about every six months they have to volley between the Masai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya and the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to survive. And they must do this every year, back and forth, for the rest of their life spans (which can reach up to 40 years).
It would be nice if this were just a scenic walk through the African countryside, with cocktails and free pedicures every 100 miles or so, but that’s just not how forward goes. This migration is hard work. The animals cross rivers,the violent currents of which can swallow dozens at a time. Crocodiles weighing up to 900 lbs. lurk in the shallow waters in droves, just waiting to pull them under. At night, they have to rest in shifts for protection from the lions and cheetahs waiting for them in the grass. There is starvation, dehydration and a slew of other challenges that threaten to thwart their progress and end their lives.

The true nugget in this story, however, is not in the fight to the finish, but in how they actually get their gloves on in the first place.
See, when a baby wildebeest first plops out on the ground, rolls over and meets his mama, their relationship is kind of meh. It’s not really like a human’s or a killer whale’s. Mama kind of just chills with him for about eight months, and then goes on about her business. If it’s a girl wildebeest, then she can join her mama’s crew for the rest of her life and roam about with them. However, if the wildebeest is a boy — than that dude is solely responsible for picking a crew to hang out with, convincing them he’s worth their protection and trying to make things work out as best he can — all while migrating to a new place to eat and live. That’s a little hard, right?
In the spirit of finding great examples of moving forward — when you return to the number of animals taking this arduous journey and surviving it year after year, the outlook of the situation sort of changes. That means, there are 1.5 million other thinking, emotional animals out there, fighting for their goals too — every day. And the two things that make them successful are the relationships they build with others who support them and their sheer will to succeed.

While your goals probably have nothing to do with dodging crocs in a river or fighting off lions, there is something amazing happening here that is worth making a connection to. If your forward requires the best of your wits and heart to surmount great obstacles, give some thought to the wildebeest migration journey. It obviously scares the shit out of them, but they move forward anyway!
Find some people who will truly support your goal. Maybe if it’s only one, just make sure they really get it — no judgments needed. If it’s to lose weight, join an online group of strangers who understand your fears. If you are getting over a divorce, find an author or a therapist or a Snapchat buddy (I have no idea how the hell to do that one, but I could figure it out in about a day if you need me to) who will help you get through it. The point is — find your people. You don’t have to do anything alone.
And also, sharpen up your willpower. You will need it to fight off every obstacle in the way. It’ll take some effort, but if a wildebeest can do it, surely you can too.
For more on this amazing migration story, that began in the 1960’s and might not last forever, consider taking a vacation, and definitely watch the video below.

Luxury-bed-sheets
Revision as of 03:46, 13 October 2015 by 82.114.71.146 (Talk)
Is Thread Count That Important?
Yes and no. Thread count is often used as the barometer of a sheet's smoothness and durability. However, this measurement--which should refer to the number of threads woven into a square inch of fabric--isn't always reliable. High thread count is a factor, but the type of cotton can be more significant.
What's The Best-Quality Cotton?
Top-of-the-line is 100 percent Egyptian cotton. Second best is 100 percent pima cotton, also known by the trademarked name Supima. If a label says simply, "100 percent cotton,” assume that it's American upland cotton, a rougher, less expensive variety. Egyptian cotton's long fibers produce sheets that are thin and sumptuous yet extremely strong and long-lasting. (The shorter fibers of upland cotton, by contrast, can poke out of the weave, leading to a coarser, weaker fabric.) Pima cotton is also soft and less likely to pill than upland cotton. You can find a good queen set made of pima for less than $200. If you want the best, you'll invest about $500 in an Egyptian-cotton set in percale or sateen--both clean, classic weaves. (See this round-up of luxury sheets for our favorite picks.)
What's Better, Percale or Sateen?
Neither. It's a matter of taste. Percale is a plain, matte weave that has a crisp, cool feel, so it may be sensible for people who tend to get overheated when they sleep. Sateen is slightly heavier and very soft, with a lustrous, smooth finish that's almost satiny--hence the name. If you're not sure which you prefer, look for fabric swatches on display for a touch test.
Is There a Cheaper Option For Kids or for a Spare Set?
A cotton-polyester blend, often marketed as "easy care,” is a smart choice, since it withstands frequent washings well. A little poly is all you need--a 90/10 blend is durable, looks crisp right out of the dryer, and is still soft and cozy. But don't go above 30 percent synthetic: The sheets won't feel great and could make the sleeper sweat.

The show should be McCartney and McLennan's big break, but like any televisual format that the Kates put their rough, manly hands to, things on Get Krack!n will go downhill fast.

The Fourth Day of Mellowmas: Spektormas
Written by Jeff Giles and Jason Hare• December 4, 2010• Mellowmas, Music
On the fourth day of Mellowmas, Jeff and Jason wander into a dark, cold place where pitch, intelligible lyrics, melody, and steady tempo have ceased to exist.
Before we kick off today’s round of exquisite Mellowmas torture, how about some discount music and a contest? Our friends at Rhino are celebrating the Twelve Days of Chri — er, Rhino, and for the fourth day, they’re not only offering a whopping 40% discount on Heaven & Hell’s limited edition Live from Radio City Music Hall CD/DVD set, but they’re giving away a $25 promo code to one lucky Popdose reader! Here’s what you need to do to enter:
Visit the Rhino site and find out how much you need to spend to get free shipping on your order. Then email the answer to Dw. Dunphy with the subject line “I am the Rhino contest winner.” Our winner will be chosen at random, and all entries must be received by noon PST tomorrow. Good luck!
Jason: Hey, another Christmas compilation from Warner Bros.! Gift Wrapped II: Snowed In.
Jeff: A sequel! With Roman numerals, even!
Jason: There were some good songs on Gift Wrapped – 20 Songs That Keep On Giving!
Jeff: There were? I don’t recall.
Jason: Yeah, the live Buble “Let It Snow” was good. A good version of “Silver Bells” by Meaghan Smith.
Jeff: Who’s Meaghan Smith? Never mind, I don’t care. I used to love Warner Bros. Records. Then they got rid of all their best executives in the mid ’90s.
Jason: So what does that mean for this compilation?
Jeff: Mainly that I have no idea who’s even on Warners anymore, other than the Goo Goo Dolls, who — of course! — are on this. Singing the classic carol “Better Days.”
Jason: What the hell is “Better Days”?
Jeff: Oh, wait, “Better Days” isn’t a Christmas song, it’s THEIR MOST RECENT SINGLE. And that, my friends, is Mellowmas in a nutshell. How fucking crass!
Jason: Oh. And here I was hoping it was a Citizen King cover.
Jeff: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! That would be perfect.
Jason: And yes, I totally had to look up the song to find out who sung it.
Jeff: I want a whole album of covers like that. Mediocrity Meets Mediocrity: Covers of Songs You Barely Remember by Artists You Can’t Stand.
Jason: All by the Goo Goo Dolls?
Jeff: Train could cover, I don’t know, Stroke 9 or something.
Jason: I’ve been dying to hear the Goo’s version of “Sex and Candy.”
Jeff: snort
Jason: So what shall we listen to from this steaming pile of coal?
Jeff: We shall listen to the Regina Spektor track “December,” which was apparently recorded just for this compilation. Such a wintry title! Candy canes and hot cocoa!
Jason: Maybe it’s inspired by the George Winston album! Just Regina Spektor playing piano, barefoot. Bald and with a beard, too.
Jeff: Oh, I hope so! And not singing.
Jason: You don’t like Regina Spektor?
Jeff: Isn’t Regina Spektor something that fell off Tori Amos?
Jason: I thought it was shitty that she changed the spelling of her last name to hide that she’s Phil’s daughter.
Jeff: Well, you know. That hair is embarrassing.
Jason: After this track, that might be the least of the problems. We can hope, anyway. She was on the last Gift Wrapped compilation.
Jeff: Which I apparently have on my hard drive. The Mellowmas pain, it all blurs together.
Jason: “My Dear Acquaintance (A Happy New Year) [iTunes Live Session Performance].” I gave it three stars.
Jeff: Three stars, eh? That’s a lot to live up to.
Jason: Nah, only the four and five star songs remain on my playlists. There are helicopters on the track, which bummed me out because I thought it was going to be a “Goodnight Saigon” cover.
Jeff: Now I want to hear a holiday mix of “Goodnight Saigon.”
Jason: I think there’s already triangle or something on that song. They just need jingle bells.
Jeff: Let’s listen.
Regina Spektor — December (download)
From Gift Wrapped II: Snowed In
Jeff: Hey, this does sound like George Winston!
Jason: Out of tune George Winston, yes.
Jeff: Oh, wait, no it doesn’t. This sounds like…motion sickness.
Jason: What the fuck is this? She’s singing like she has a bunch of Big League Chew in her mouth.
Jeff: This is what Regina Spektor thinks of when she thinks of December.
Jason: “Come on and say you’re sorry, real sorry for the trouble that you caused.” Wasn’t this supposed to be on Warner Bros’ Yom Kippur compilation?
Jeff: I think she stole this melody from an ancient Hebrew song. “We ah not evacuatin’ this ‘ouse!”
Jason: Ha ha ha ha! “We don’t believe you, we don’t believe in you.”
Jeff: Who does she not believe in? I’m not understanding this at all. Is she talking to Santa?
Jason: I think she does not believe in pitch. She also does not believe in happiness.
Jeff: Or actual time signatures. Oh, thank God. It’s over.
Jason: Wow, that was quick.
Jeff: DON’T COMPLAIN. I think that was something she made up on the spot in a single take.
Jason: I’m not complaining. Actually, what I’m doing is picturing the Warner Bros. execs’ faces when they received this track for the compilation.
Jeff: Ha!
Jason: “GOD DAMMIT, REGINA, JUST FUCKING SING ‘SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN.”
Jeff: Lots of pinched nose bridges, I imagine. Imagine actually being snowed in with Regina Spektor?
Jason: No. I won’t do it.
Jeff: I think by night one, I’d start trying to convince everyone else that we needed to eat her to survive.
Jason: cackle
I’ve taken to looking up meanings of this song on the Internet.
Jeff: There’s stuff about this song on the Internet?
Jason: Yup.
Jeff: I assumed you’d send me a link to http://whyreginaspektorwhy.com.
Jason: “This song is beautiful, then again..what song of her’s isn’t beautiful?” The spelling isn’t the only thing wrong with that statement.
Jeff: I’m just blinking in silence.
Jason: There are 37 comments on the meaning of this song. And not one of them is “First!”
Jeff: To quote our friend Billy K. Harmony, I hate this world.
Jason: “The second verse is God trying to talk to the human. He’s telling the human and all of human race to apologize for all the war and hate they brought to the world, along with all the sin and stuff. He’s asking how they don’t see all his love for them and the world.”
Jeff: “Along with all the sin and stuff.” What the hell?
Jason: THIS SONG IS ON A FUCKING CHRISTMAS COMPILATION
Jeff: Yeah, and it’s like two minutes long!
Jason: I can’t wait until 2011, when Judy Collins and Regina Spektor do their long-awaited collaboration. Wait, here’s another comment: “The final verse baffles me. Why does she start singing like a ruddy old Cockney? Is that how we sound to God, when we cling on to our houses in the face of ‘You and Your wrecking crew’? ”
I’ll take this one, Jeff. THE REASON SHE SOUNDS LIKE A RUDDY OLD COCKNEY IS BECAUSE SHE’S AN ASSHOLE.
Jeff: “A ruddy old Cockney”! Ha! Oh, wait, I know!
Jason: Lay it on me.
Jeff: It’s because this song is being sung from the perspective of Dick Van Dyke’s character in “Mary Poppins.” THE END. And you know what? Regina Spektor is fucking insane, so I lay even odds that my interpretation is the right one.
Jason: Are you sure? Because I have another interpretation.
Jeff: Go on.
Jason: If the Sabbath is the depths of winter, that suggests a profound bleakness attached to spirituality, maybe newfound atheism. To lose your religion would ‘turn your down upside’ – cause your darkness to surface. To find you have fallen out of love with the Creator is painfully captured in those lines about rumours of romance, where any playful tone is overtly and deliberately disowned by the singer.
Jeff: taps screen
Jason: What, that doesn’t make sense to you? Because it SURE MAKES SENSE TO ME. SHUT UP INTERNET
Jeff: Hold on, I’m busy forging power of attorney so I can have you committed.
Jason: I want to send every one of these commenters a copy of Fred Schneider’s “Fruitcake.”
Jeff: I feel like they’re already living it. Although it might be fun to watch them try to analyze it.
Jason: This is a truly awful track. And you suggested it for Mellowmas.
Jeff: Naturally.
Jason: …Thank you, old friend.
Jeff: Well, it’s like I said going in. This is the meaning of Mellowmas.
Jason: I can’t remember anything before Regina Spektor’s out-of-tune piano. If you said that, I’ll have to take your word for it.
Jeff: And if I ever meet Regina Spektor, I’m totally cow-punching her in the uterus. Note: I don’t know what a cow-punch is. I just made that up. But it makes as much sense as anything in “December.”
Jason: I think if you cow-punched her, it would speak to how the world has fallen down around us, and maybe the pain of a broken home has overtaken everything we know about the holiday spirit. And then something about the Sabbath, too. I don’t know if that last sentence makes sense. I just quickly threw together a bunch of words.
Jeff: And a melody that sounds like a broken shofar’s horn.
Jason: It made as much sense to me as anything else I’ve heard today. Thanks for ruining Christmas, Regina Spektor!
Jeff: applause
Jason: Or should I say REGINA SPECTOR.
Wait a minute.
Remember one of those lyrics?
“We don’t believe in you and your wrecking crew.”
Jeff: gasp
Jason: SHE’S TALKING ABOUT PHIL SPECTOR!
Jeff: Play it backwards! Play it backwards!
Jason: REGINA SPEKTOR DOESN’T BELIEVE IN HAL BLAINE! Man, Regina. What did Carol Kaye ever do to you?
Jeff: Played actual music?
Jason: I can’t believe I figured it out.
Jeff: Hey, what do you know? If you play this backwards, it turns into “My Pal Foot Foot.”
Jason: Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

VMS Authentication Module Software Product Description (PDF)
Download a PDF version of this document
The VMS Authentication Module Solution
The VMS Authentication Module (VAM) provides controlled access to both user-written applications and the OpenVMS system overall using LDAP, RADIUS or the local VMS User Authentication File (UAF). It can be incorporated into an OpenVMS-based platform in three ways:
Via an API that can be incorporated into an application to control access to that application
On a system-wide basis by using the OpenVMS ACME system on OpenVMS V8 and higher on Alpha and Integrity platforms
On a system-wide basis via use of the LGI callouts for OpenVMS LOGINOUT.EXE.
Process Software’s VAM product integrates cleanly into the OpenVMS environment. It supports the MultiNet and TCPware TCP/IP stacks and HP TCP/IP Services.
VAM is easy to install using the VMSINSTAL installation procedure. It takes less than five minutes to configure. The system administrator can control VAM by editing the configuration file.
Highly Configurable
VAM’s configuration file is robust and can be customized to meet an organization’s specific security requirements.
Rightslist identifiers may be granted to specific users to determine if they should use VAM’s authentication methods.
All users may be required to use specific VAM authentication methods.
Multiple authentication methods (e.g., first attempt LDAP then RADIUS) may be specified.
Multiple LDAP searches and servers may be specified.
Configuration Support
VAM supports Alpha and Integrity systems running various versions of OpenVMS. When each node in an OpenVMS cluster shares a common system disk, the cluster needs to store just one copy of most VAM files. Only a few system-specific configuration files are required on each machine that runs the software.
An application programming interface (API) is provided to allow VAM to be incorporated into existing user applications. The heart of the API is the VMSAuthenticate function call, where the calling program supplies (as required) the username and password to be authenticated, the type of authentication (LDAP, RADIUS, or LOCALUAF), and pointers to user-written callbacks in the user program. These callbacks are used by VAM to communicate with the user (e.g., to prompt for passwords or to provide informational messages.)
The Core Features of the VMS Authentication Module…
VMS Authentication Module enables remote systems administrators, telecommuters, and other users to access corporate networks without revealing passwords and confidential data to potential eavesdroppers.
Supports LDAP authentication via an API, as a VMS ACME agent, and as a VMS LOGINOUT callout module.
Provides additional access controls through the use of the VMS User Authorization File via an API.
Supports the widely-used LDAP V3 protocol as found in, for example, Microsoft Active Directory and OpenLDAP.
Allows fetching of user-defined attributes from an LDAP directory for a successfully-authorized LDAP user.
Allows multiple searches of multiple LDAP servers.
Includes LDAP client/server security options by supporting both plain-text (LDAP) and encrypted (LDAPS) transactions.
Supports RADIUS authentication via an API, as a VMS ACME agent, and as a VMS LOGINOUT callout module.
SSH single sign-on access using Process Software’s MultiNet, TCPware and SSH for OpenVMS products.
Provides many-to-one mappings of LDAP and RADIUS usernames to a single VMS username.
VMS LOGINOUT Callout Support
VAM provides a callout module used to implement LDAP and RADIUS authentication using the standard VMS LOGINOUT mechanism. It may be configured so that if a VAM login can’t be completed for any reason other than an invalid username or password (for, example, in the case of a network outage that prevents communication with an LDAP or RADIUS server), the normal VMS SYSUAF will be used to validate the user.
VMS ACME Support
VAM provides LDAP and RADIUS agents for the VMS ACME (Authentication and Credential Management Extension) subsystem for OpenVMS V8 and higher on Alpha and Integrity platforms.
LDAP Support
VAM provides a client for LDAPv3 servers on various platforms. Examples of supported servers are Microsoft Active Directory and OpenLDAP from the OpenLDAP Foundation.
This client may be used in the form of an API that is incorporated into an application, as a VMS ACME agent, or as a callout module for the VMS LOGINOUT mechanism.
Transactions with LDAP servers may be performed using unencrypted clear-text (the default), or the transactions may be encrypted using certificates. The VAM configuration file is used to specify if transactions are encrypted (LDAPS) or not (LDAP).
To provide maximum flexibility, multiple searches may be specified for any supported server, and multiple servers may be searched. The servers and searches on those servers are specified in the VAM configuration file by the system manager. Searches are first conducted using either a specified Distinguished Name and password or anonymously (where supported by the server). In addition, all LDAP usernames may be mapped to a single VMS username on the client system.
When a user is successfully authenticated via an LDAP directory, attributes (as specified in the configuration file) may be returned. If using the API, these attributes are returned as a list of attribute/value tuples. If using the VMS ACME system, the attributes are set as logical names in the process’s process logical name table. If using the LOGINOUT callouts, the attributes are set as logical names in the process’s job logical name table.
If using the LOGINOUT callouts and upon successful authentication, the last login date and time and the user’s password are updated in the VMS UAF file, to ensure the information is as synchronized when possible. This behavior may be overridden by the LDAP_NO_PASSWORD_SYNC keyword in the configuration file.
RADIUS Support
VAM provides a client for RADIUS server systems on various platforms. An example of this would be a server running the FreeRADIUS server.
This client may be used in the form of an API that is incorporated into an application, or as a callout module for the VMS LOGINOUT mechanism.
Transactions with RADIUS servers are performed using unencrypted clear-text data, but with the password encrypted using MD5 encryption.
In addition, all RADIUS usernames may be mapped to a single VMS username on the client system.
If using the LOGINOUT callouts and upon successful authentication, the last login date and time and the user’s password are updated in the VMS UAF file, to ensure the information is synchronized when possible. This behavior may be overridden by the RADIUSNOPASSWORDSYNC keyword in the configuration file.
VMS Local User Authorization File Support
The local User Authorization file (UAF) may be used within the API to provide authentication for an application.
VAM requires at least one network controller supported by MultiNet, TCPware or TCP/IP Services.
VAM supports the following operating system versions:
OpenVMS Alpha 8.2 and higher
OpenVMS I64 8.2 and higher
VAM supports the following TCP/IP stacks and versions:
MultiNet V5.4 and later
TCPware V5.9 and later
TCP/IP Services v5.5 or later
Free Evaluation Software

Read The Report >
Findings: Overview
We Must Stop the anti-Gay side from its Successful Exploitation of anti-Gay Prejudice.
The Yes on 8 campaign activated and exploited anti-gay prejudice even among some of the voters in our base. Its phony, widely broadcast argument that “kids are in danger” attracted additional votes from hundreds of thousands of parents with young children at home. The argument is false and familiar and one to which we have succumbed in other ballot measure campaigns. By now, we ought to foresee this attack and prepare for it.
Yet we’re repeatedly taken by surprise. In the No on 8 and in campaigns both before and after, the LGBT community has had continual difficulty directly facing and rebutting anti-gay prejudice and kids-based attacks. As a result, we struggle to wage strong campaigns.
The first five findings in this report examine Yes on 8’s specific appeals to voters and No on 8’s response:
· Finding 1: Which Voters Changed Their Minds: A significant number of voters are persuadable on the issue of same-sex marriage. In the Prop 8 campaign, a minimum of 5% of all voters—a minimum of 687,000—changed their views on same-sex marriage in the final six weeks of the campaign. Almost all identifiable demographic groups moved toward the anti-gay position, most notably parents with children under eighteen living at home. Other groups that moved significantly in favor of the ban on same-sex marriage included white Democrats (by 24 points), voters in the greater Bay Area (31 points), voters age 30-39 (29 points), and Independent voters (26 points).
· Finding 2: The Yes on 8 Ads That Worked: The Yes on 8 “Princes” & “Newsom” ads were effective at exploiting voters’ anti-gay prejudice and moving voters away from same-sex marriage.
· Finding 3: The No on 8 Ads That Worked: The No on 8 “O’Connell” & “Thorons” ads were the most effective attempts to confront the opposition’s exploitation of prejudice.
· Finding 4: No on 8’s Biggest Mistake: The most costly mistake by No on 8 was the two-week delay in rebutting “Princes” and the kids argument. No on 8 regained ground only after rebutting “Princes” in its TV ads.
· Finding 5: Message Clarity Favored Yes on 8: Yes on 8’s message was clear, direct, repetitive, and penetrating. No on 8’s message was vague, inconsistent, and too often de-gayed, reducing its power to persuade.
The next two findings examine the failure of both polling and election results to reveal the full extent of our vulnerability to anti-gay prejudice. In Prop 8, both major public polls and the final official election results understate our vulnerability. As a result, we have a bigger problem than is commonly understood.
· Finding 6: The Public Polls Got It Wrong: The two major public polls in California created the misimpression that No on 8 was favored to win.
· Finding 7: The Election Results Make It Look Closer Than It Was: The election results overstated our side’s support; the result would have been 54% to 46% had the voters understood what they were voting for.
All of this report’s recommendations, and particularly Recommendations 2 and 3, suggest how we can reduce our vulnerability to prejudice-based attacks in future campaigns.
We have improved at the Power Building parts of putting together a campaign. Let’s both celebrate the achievements and note the room for further improvement.
No on 8 raised more money and recruited and mobilized more volunteers than any past LGBT campaign. These accomplishments suggest that we are getting better at building the power to win these elections even though further improvements are essential.
· Finding 8: No on 8 Field—Strengths and One Flaw: The field operation of the No on 8 campaign recruited quite possibly the largest number of volunteers mustered in any LGBT campaign of any kind in California or U.S. history. Despite its impressive size, however, one key flaw limited its impact on the election result.
· Finding 9: No on 8 Fundraising—Unprecedented Success: The fundraising of the No on 8 campaign, from start to finish, broke all records and set a completely new higher standard for what the LGBT community and our allies can accomplish in the face of anti-LGBT attacks. Despite this, however, outspending the opposition is not an adequate strategy for electoral victory; and, in addition, we must raise more of our money early or even spending parity or an overall spending advantage accruing to our side will leave us unnecessarily vulnerable.
Recommendations 7 through 14 suggest changes in structure and approach with the potential to complement some of the effective choices made by No on 8 that are documented in this report.

Malaysian study suggests fats not major heart disease culprit
Dr Kalyana Sundram says the study evaluated the lifestyles and long term impact of different ratios of carbohydrate and fat among Malaysians.
KUALA LUMPUR: A newly published Malaysian diet and population study holds vital clues to resolve the global carbohydrate-fat health debate.
The study’s senior author Dr Kalyana Sundram said data from this study supported the hypothesis that restricting carbohydrate consumption might have a greater benefit to heart health than restricting total fat consumption.
He said the study showed the combinations of carbohydrate and fat that could be safely consumed with fat surprisingly being the more benign partner in such dietary combinations.
“A Cross-Sectional Study on the Dietary Pattern Impact on Cardiovascular Disease Biomarkers in Malaysia,” was published in the journal, Scientific Reports, part of the prestigious NATURE publication group. It can be read in full here.
The study comes in the wake of a series of studies addressing the way health professionals are looking at how specific combinations of macronutrients in the daily diet impact cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk biomarkers.
Sundram said: “While most previous studies concentrated on traditional blood lipids, cholesterol and lipoproteins (LDL, HDL), the Malaysian population study incorporated more advanced measures of sub-fractions of these lipoproteins, which are emerging as state of the art measures to assess cardiovascular risk.
“It evaluated the lifestyle and long term impact of different ratios of carbohydrate and fat consumption in this target population.”
Sundram pointed out that oversimplification of macronutrients (fat, carbohydrates, protein) as good or bad had set the tone for the clinicians and public to adopt diets that could often do more harm than good.
The study suggests that a pattern of specific combinations of macronutrients in specific proportions are associated with markers of cardiovascular disease.
“The dietary patterns consist of varying proportions of protein, fat and carbohydrates. The population responses to these patterns vary based upon lifestyle, genetics, age and stage of life, and socioeconomic factors. The Malaysian study addresses all of these variables such that the conclusions have real validity,” added Dr Sundram.
The cross-sectional population study involved 577 healthy, physically active adult Malaysians between ages 20 and 65 from urban centres. None of the participants smoked or consumed alcohol. Almost 60% were white-collar professionals. All participants were free of diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, cancer, renal failure and hypothyroidism.
The overwhelming majority of the study participants (484 people or 83.9%) consumed meals prepared with palm oil/palm olein. The remainder reported regular consumption of other more unsaturated vegetable oils such as sunflower, canola, corn or olive oil.
Sundram said the results indicated that a re-think about carbohydrates and fats was necessary.
“Our study found that higher proportions of carbohydrates in the diet tend to be associated with elevated levels of multiple CVD risk factors including dyslipidemia, hypertension and atherogenic small LDL particles. Higher proportions of dietary fat intake were not adversely associated with most of these cardio-biomarkers.
“For example, in keeping with current perceptions, our two low-fat diet groups did not result in the anticipated improvement in plasma lipid profiles compared with high fat diets.”
He however cautioned that even in Asia when populations began to adopt a typical Western-styled high-carbohydrate, high fat diet, overall risk for CVD, diabetes and metabolic syndrome were clearly manifested as seen from the Malaysian study outcomes.
He added: “This raises the bar for studies that lead to meaningful dietary guidelines by health authorities. Our traditional understanding of dietary factors and accompanying dietary recommendations for CVD management may require reassessment in light of this and other emerging evidence.”

Swedish Lloyd
Rederiaktiebolaget Svenska Lloyd
This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of Swedish Lloyd, initially concentrating on the passenger services from Gothenburg to the UK. An alphabetical list of ships covered on this page is shown below. The Table beneath gives links to complete postcard history pages on selected individual ships. Below the table are official postcards of the fleet in alphabetical order.
Brief History of Swedish Lloyd:-
The origins of Swedish Lloyd date back to 1869, but it was only with the purchase of Thule Line in 1916 that they entered the North Sea passenger market. The Thule Steamship Co had been formed in Gothenburg in 1870. They traded between Gothenburg and Granton (near Edinburgh) in Scotland, chosen because the Wilson Line (Thomas Wilson & Son) was already dominant in Hull, and London was already served by the London Line of a different Wilson, J.W.Wilson (an Englishman based in Gothenburg). Thule's first passenger steamer was the Bele of 1879. In 1882, Thule acquired the London Line of J.W.Wilson, and amalgamated the fleets. Bele was transferred to the London route. In 1882, Thule added the new steamer Thorsten to the London route, followed by the Thule in 1892. At this point the Bele reverted to the Granton route. In 1898, the Balder was added to the Granton route, and in 1909, the first Saga entered service to London, displacing the Thorsten to the Granton route. From 1910, calls were made at Harwich on the way to London. Thule Line was itself absorbed by Swedish Lloyd in 1916, along with passenger ships Bele, Thorsten, Thule, Balder, and Saga (1).
The first Swedish Lloyd addition to the fleet was the first in Patricia 1919, although the ship had been built in 1901 for Vladivostok-Shanghai service. Patricia (1) inaugurated a new Newcastle-Gothenburg service with the Saga (1). Patricia (1) and Saga (1) were replaced in 1929, when the two turbines Suecia and Britannia were delivered for the London service. They maintained this service until 1966, despite two new diesel ferries delivered after the war, the Saga (2) and Patricia (2). These two impressive ferries were designed for summer service between Gothenburg-London only, with cruises being undertaken in winter. However, they proved too large even for peak summer service, and both were sold in 1956/57, leaving the route to the 1929 turbines until replaced by car ferry Saga (3) in 1966.
Swedish Lloyd had joined forces with other established operators to form the ELS consortium (ELS = Ellerman's Wilson Line, Swedish Lloyd and Stockholms Rederi "Svea"), and they initiated vehicle ferry services at the same time, with the ships Spero, Svea and Saga. Although new, and beautifully fitted out, these ships were very traditional in concept, and did not have full-height, through freight decks as designed. In contrast, the two new Tor Line ships Tor Anglia and Tor Hollandia followed the latest Scandinavian trends, with bright colours, full-height vehicle decks and high speeds (22 knots). The Tor Line marketing was aimed a new, younger clientele, and the reduced crossing times appealed to freight customers. The Tor Line service followed a triangular route pattern serving Immingham in the UK, Amsterdam in Holland, and Göteborg in Sweden. Additional freight-only services with dedicated ro-ro ferries were also soon introduced. Competition was fierce, and the three ELS members each dropped out of passenger services in turn, Swedish Lloyd's Tilbury-Göteborg service being the last closure in 1977, following the arrival of the much larger, and even faster, Tor Britannia and Tor Scandinavia, and transfer of the UK Tor Line terminal to Felixstowe in 1976.

Swedish Lloyd Fleet List
(Swedish Lloyd: 1916-21)
Bele was built as Thule Line's first passenger steamer in 1879, initially operating on the Gothenburg-Granton route. She was built in Sweden, one of the first large ships to be built there. She carried 30 1st lass passengers amidships, and 12 2nd class aft. Following the takeover of the London Line of J.W.Wilson in 1882, Bele transferred to the Gothenburg-London (Millwall Dock) route. In 1892 she was replaced by the new Thule, and returned to the Granton route. Thule Line passed to Swedish Lloyd in 1916. Bele was lost off the coast of Greenland in 1921.

She joined the newly-acquired London service of Thule Line in 1882, carrying55 passengers (40 First, 15 Second). In 1909, Thorsten was replaced by the Saga, and transferred to the Granton route. Thule Line passed to Swedish Lloyd in 1916, and Thorsten was sold in 1921, and scrapped four years later.

Thule entered service on the London-Gothenburg route of Thule Line in 1892. From 1910, she also called at Harwich. Thule Line passed to Swedish Lloyd in 1916, and they modernised and extended her accommodation in 1920. In 1921, Thule transferred to the Newcastle service, which had started in 1920. In 1925 Thule was sold to Italian owners and renamed Franca Fassio for a Genoa-Barcelona service. She was lost to a British submarine in 1940.

Balder (Swedish Lloyd: 1916-30)
Northumbria (Swedish Lloyd: 1930-43)
Balder was built in Port Glasgow for Thule Line in 1898. She could carry 109 passengers in three classes, and entered service on the Granton route. In 1910 she transferred to the Harwich/London route, and passed to Swedish Lloyd with the rest of the Thule Line fleet in 1916. In 1923 Balder transferred to the Newcastle route, and was given a major refit in 1930, reappearing with the name Nothumbria. She was laid up during the depression, but had returned to service before the war. She was seized by German forces in Norway in 1940, and was bombed and sunk during an Allied air raid in Gdynia in 1943.

Saga was the last passenger ship delivered to Thule Line in 1909, built by Swan Hunter on the River Tyne. She was the largest ship in the fleet, at 2808grt the first to exceed 2000 tons. Saga began service on the Gothenburg-London route, and passed to Swedish Lloyd in 1916 with the rest of the Thule Line fleet. She was soon chartered to Moore-McCormack for a new New York-Rio de Janeiro service, returning to Sweden after the war in 1919, when she re-opened the Newcastle service. She soon reverted to the London service, but was sold to the French Line (CGT) in 1929 when the new turbines arrived. CGT renamed her Mayenne, and she was used on Mediterranean services until lost to Allied air attck off Palermo in 1940.

Patricia (1) had a varied career before purchase by Swedish Lloyd in 1919. She was built in Trieste in 1901 as the Mongolia for the Chinese Eastern Railway Co., Russia. Her sistership was the Manchuria. The sisters were used on a service between Vladivistok and Shanghai. In 1904 she was surrendered to the Japanese at Port Arthur, during the Russo-Japanese war, and became the Kanto Maru. In 1910, she was returned to the Russians, who sold her to the Government of Western Australia. They renamed her Western Australia for a service from Fremantle to Wyndham. She returned all the way to Liverpool for the modifications for this service. Despite being fast, she was not found to be suitable for Australian coastal service, and so in 1915 she was back again in the UK, acting as a transport and troopship during WW1. After the war, she was purchased by Swedish Lloyd for £40,000 and renamed Patricia, the first of four with this name. Patricia received a major refit before inaugurating a new Gothenburg-Newcastle service. She later transferred to the London service. In 1929, with the arrival of the new turbines Suecia and Britannia, Patricia was sold to the United Baltic Corporation as the Baltavia. Baltavia was sold for scrap in 1935

Suecia (Swedish Lloyd: 1929-66)
Britannia (Swedish Lloyd: 1929-66)
Suecia and Britannia were built on the Tyne in 1929. They were powered by three Parsons geared tubines driving a single shaft. Gross tonnage was 4216, a substantial increase on earlier ships in the fleet, and carried 265 passengers (220 first, 45 second). The two ships allowed a thrice-weekly service each wat from Gothenburg to London, summer and winter. Passengers were landed at Tilbury, after which the ships proceeded to Millwall Dock to unload cargo. In 1937, Suecia and Britannia were converted to oil firing. In March 1937, Suecia was sunk when hit by the newly launched tanker Kollbjorg. She was raised, and re-entered service in June. In 1938, Britannia grounded near Southend in the Thames Estuary. Both ships were laid up throughout World War 2. In 1945 they were requisitioned by the UK Government as troop transports. they were released in 1946, and re-entered London service after a refit. In 1947 only, they both ran with white hulls. In 1950, the forecastles were extended to the bridge. In 1956, passenger accommodation was changed to 127 first, 124 second, plus 92 summer dormitory berths. In later years, the winter service was reduced to one sailing each way on Saturdays, the London-based ship then acting as a floating hotel until the following Saturday. In October 1966, both ships were sold to Hellenic Mediterranean Lines, and renamed Isthmia and Cynthia. They ran a Mediterranean service between Marseille-Genoa-Piraeus-Alexandria-Port Said-Beirut. Isthmia and Cynthia were broken up in 1972 and 1973.

Patricia (2) was built in 1926 as the Byron Line steamer Patris II. They sailed on a route Marseille-Genoa-Piraeus-Alexandria-Cyprus-Beirut, similar to that which fleetmates Suecia and Britannia later sailed for Hellenic Mediterranean Lines. In 1935, Patris II was sold to Swedush Lloyd, and was renamed Patricia (2). After rebuilding by Eriksbergs of Gothenburg, she entered service on Gothenburg-London summer service. She was laid up at the start of World War 2, and sold to the Swedish Government in 1940. In 1941 she was converted into a submarine depot ship. She was scrapped in 1971.

Saga (the second of this name) was ordered from Gotaverken (Gothenburg) who subcontracted the hull construction to Lindholmes. She was launched without machinery in 1940, but laid up until after the war. Saga was not completed until May 1946, when she entered service with Swedish Lloyd between Gothenburg and London. Saga was 420ft long, 6458grt, and carried 340 passengers (160 first, 80 second, 100 third). Four Gotaverken diesels were geared to a single screw, and a combined 6700bhp gave a speed of 18.5 knots. Saga was designed for winter cruising, undertaking voyages in her first year to Norway and the Canaries. Saga was sold to CGT (French Line) in 1956, becoming the Ville de Bordeaux.

The third Saga was built in 1966 for Swedish Lloyd. She was one of three sisterships, the others being Swedish Lloyd's Patricia, and Svea Lines' Svea, which became the Knossos of Minoan Lines in 1978. She was used on the Swedish Lloyd Tilbury-Gothenburg service until 1971, when she was sold to Stena Line, and served under the names Stena Atlantica.

Hispania - Saga (4)
Hispania was built in 1966 as the Svea for Stockholms Rederi A/B Svea. She was used on the pioneer North Sea 'England-Sweden Line' car-ferry service from Hull to Gothenburg, in collaboration with the Wilson Line's Spero. This service was not a success, and Svea was sold to Swedish Lloyd in 1968. Swedish Lloyd owned her two sisterships Saga on Tilbury-Gothenburg service, and Patricia on the Southampton-Bilbao service. Svea was renamed Hispania, and began service between Southampton-Bilbao. In 1970 she was transferred to the Tilbury-Gothenburg route, and was renamed Saga in 1972. She was bought by Minoan Lines in 1978 and renamed Knossos. Her sistership Saga also joined Minoan Lines in 1985 as the Festos. Knossos remains in Mediterranean service as the Captain Zaman II of Diler Lines.

In 1951, the second new post war vessel Patricia (3) joined the fleet, following the Saga (2) of 1946. The 1929 Britannia and Suecia remained in the fleet, running the winter services when the newer ships were used for cruising. They also ran duplicate services in each direction on Saturdays in summer. The cover shown below links to a 6Mb PDF file which opens in a new window, and shows all pages plus large deckplans of each of the ships. The new ships were too large for the available traffic, and were sold in 1956 and 1957, leaving the 1929 pair to run on until 1966 when they were replaced with new car ferries.

NEW YORK (AP) The Nets haven't been to the playoffs in four years. On Monday night, they looked ready to return.
Spencer Dinwiddie scored 19 points and Brooklyn held the Detroit Pistons to the lowest shooting percentage in an NBA game in 3 1/2 years, winning 103-75 to move into sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
"Our guys attacked it," Nets coach Kenny Atkinson said. "Sometimes when you're not used to these big games you might be on your heels a little bit. But, I felt like we were the more aggressive team and we weren't afraid of the moment. Definitely a good sign for us if we have more of these big games in the future."
The Nets (36-33) won their fourth straight and leapfrogged Detroit (34-32) into the No. 6 spot in their final game before leaving for a seven-game road trip.
The Pistons had their season-high, five-game winning streak snapped.
Andre Drummond led the Pistons with 13 points and 20 rebounds. Blake Griffin finished with 10 points, but only shot 1 of 10 from the field as Detroit was held to its lowest point total of the season.
The Pistons shot 27.8 percent (27 of 97) from the field, the lowest by any team since Memphis shot 27.1 percent at Golden State on Nov. 11, 2015.
"They brought a tough mindset and a much more physical game," Griffin said.
Allen Crabbe finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds, Rodions Kurucs scored 13 points, and Joe Harris and Caris LeVert each added 12 as the Nets took control early and never let up.
Brooklyn trailed 5-4, then went on a 14-4 run and never trailed again. Kurucs started the streak with consecutive buckets and Crabbe scored eight of the next 10 as Brooklyn took early control.
The Nets led 27-19 after the first quarter and 61-35 at halftime.
The Pistons scored the first five points of the second half and eventually pulled within 63-45 but never got any closer.
The Nets increased their lead to 29 points before Langston Galloway's deep buzzer-beating 3-pointer ended the third quarter with the Pistons trailing 88-62.
"They came in and whipped us every which way there was," Pistons coach Dwane Casey said. "We didn't come out and play. We took a full step back tonight.
"One day (you're) the pigeon, one day you're the statue. And definitely today we were the statue."
Detroit only managed to get as close as 21 points in the fourth quarter and the Nets took their largest lead at 100-69.
Jarrett Allen and D'Angelo Russell each added 11 points for the Nets.
"All the vets told us that this was a playoff-type game so we have to bring the right mentality and be ready for it," Allen said. "We came in with dominance and force and just kept it throughout."
Pistons: Reggie Jackson is the only Piston to play and start in each of the team's 66 games. ... Detroit hasn't won more than five consecutive games since taking seven straight during the 2014-15 season. (Dec. 26-Jan. 7).
Nets: No one has played in all 69 games for Brooklyn this season. D'Angelo Russell and Ed Davis have played in 68. ... The Nets trail the all-time series against the Pistons 107-71, but are 48-43 at home, including 9-4 at the Barclays Center.
The Pistons shot only 34.8 percent (8 of 23) in the first quarter, going 0 for 6 from 3-point range. Their 19 points in the opening period marked the first time they failed to score at least 20 since only managing 17 against Oklahoma City on Dec. 3. Their 35 first-half points were their lowest since totaling a season-worst 34 against Washington on Jan. 21.
HIT THE ROAD, JACK
The Nets are about to embark on their longest road trip of the season. They are set to play their next seven games away from Barclays Center. Their longest road trip of the season thus far has been four games. "I could do the Joe Maddon thing. I thought about that," Atkinson said. "Dress everybody up in costumes and maybe sing their alma mater. Something funny."
ANDRE'S A GIANT
Drummond's 19th straight double-double on Monday tied him with Bob Lanier (1974-75) for the longest streak in Pistons' team history. He currently leads the NBA with 55 double-doubles and was last week's Eastern Conference player of the week.
Pistons: Visit Miami on Wednesday.
Nets: Visit Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Malware, a cyber threat increasingly difficult to contain
August 24, 2012 By Pierluigi Paganini
Article published on Hakin9 IT Security Magazine – August 2012
When we speak about malware we introduce one of the worst cyber threat that daily evolve with the capacity to hit every sector without distinction. The world “malware” is really generic, we refer in fact a heterogeneous family of malicious software designed with the purpose to disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive information, or gain unauthorized access to victims systems with very different scopes.
Sample of malware type are computer viruses, worms, trojan, spyware, ramsonware, adware and rootkits, each of them characterized by an unprecedented growth linked to rapidly changing of the technological context supported by the increased use of internet and the explosion of mobile services.
The large extension of network like internet and the impressive diffusion of social networks have advantaged the spread of malicious software, it is to be considered a natural process, to give an idea of what we have observed in the recent years consider that in the last couple of years the release rate of malicious code and of other unwanted programs was greater of the one related to previous 20 years, it’s amazing!
The malware analysis is became an essential component of the security sector, security firms have introduced specific sentinel over the main networks to gather information on every suspect activities that could threaten systems security.
The work is really hard because the malware today have reached a level of sophistication really high, in many cases for their development are engaged teams of experts that work for elude of the principal alerting system, and unfortunately it is happened that some virus or trojan have been discovered years later their diffusion with serious consequences.
How does work the global detection network for malware analysis?
The principal security firms have deployed on the networks thousands of probes used to analyze the traffic and not only, billions email messages and Web requests are processed daily in dedicated data centers, the gathered information are put in relation with data acquired through an antifraud community of enterprises, law enforcement advisor and consumers feedback, only in this way it is possible to detect incoming cyber threat just in time. When user download it’s last antivirus update or anti-rootkit tool he must be aware of the great works that experts do every day without interruption, because malware don’t’ know holidays.
A very interesting part of the precious works done could be appreciated reading the periodical reports that company provides, a precious sources that inform on the incoming threat and related risks. All the data proposed by different analysis of the phenomenon demonstrate a sensible increase of malware diffusion despite the awareness of the cyber threat and the counter measures implemented by private and government entities.
According the data provided by Kindsight Security, the a majority-owned subsidiary of Alcatel-Lucent, around 14 percent of home networks were infected with malware in the period between April and June 2012.
Figure 1 – Kindsight Security Report – Percentage of home network infected Q2 2012
One of the main vector to spread the malicious agents is still the email, unsuspecting users are daily hijacked on infected website that compromise their machines with various type of malware.
According the proposed statistics 9 percent of residential households were infected by high-threat malware, such as a botnet, rootkit, or a banking Trojan, meanwhile approximately 6 percent were infected with moderate-threat malware such as spyware, browser hijackers, and adware.
Of course in many cases user’s machine is compromised by several malware.
The report dedicates a specific session to the botnets and in particular to ZeroAccess botnet which grew to over 1.2 million nodes over the second quarter, a figure that could give an idea on the rapidity of the infection diffusion of these agents.
Another primary source of information on the evolution of malware, and more in general of any cyber threat diffusion, related the fights against malware diffusion are the reports and bulletins provided by security firm Symantec. In the last issue of Symantec “Internet Security Threat Report” has been reported an increase respect last year result of a surge in polymorphic malware attacks, particularly from those found in Web attack kits and socially engineered attacks using email-borne malware.
The report giver great emphasis to the increasing of the number of zero day vulnerabilities exploited with a rate of 8 new vulnerabilities per day. Zero-day vulnerabilities represent a serious problem for system security, they are unknown and represents privileged way to avoid security defense of any type of architecture.
Particularly efficient are malicious agent that exploit zero-day vulnerabilities because they could operate being detected also for a long period. According the Symantec data it has been registered an increase of unique variants of malware 140% respect 2010, passing from 286 million of variants to 403 million that confirm the worrying trend.
Malware impact on private and government sectors
We can surely note that malware impact any sector of today society, there is no differences between private business and government affairs, both are very vulnerable to cyber attacks conducted using malicious agents. What is changed in the last couple of years is the awareness that this cyber threat could be used also in military sector. In the last years we have read a lot on the concept of cyber weapon, powerful malware that are used in covert military operation, to compromise enemy’s system.
The possibility to exploit enemy system using a malicious source code is considerable an old idea on which many states have made great investments, but only recently with the massive introduction of technology in everything surround us and the large diffusion of networked systems have made practicable the offensive.
The Stuxnet case has demonstrated how much powerful could be a cyber weapon and how high is the interest of the governments in the design and development of a malware that is able to interfere with the processes of a critical infrastructure such as a nuclear plant or a telecommunication system.
In a government and military sectors the use of malware is increased in a sensible way, after Stuxnet security company have detected other dangerous instances of malware, Duqu, Flame and Mahdi, malicious agent technologically advanced that have been developed with state sponsored project and that mainly have offensive and cyber espionage purposes.
Why a government is interested in the development of a malware for offensive purposes?
First, the disclosure of such agents is silenced for the nature of the vulnerabilities that are exploited. The study of new zero-day vulnerability provides a real advantage to those who attack and the related risks of failure of operations is minimal. We consider that attacks perpetrated in this way, because of the anonymous nature of the offense, allow you to circumvent the approval by the world community to a military offensive.
The costs involved in developing solutions such as that at issue are relatively low compared to other conventional weapons.
The choice of cyber weapon allows those who use the solution to remain anonymous until military strategies deem it appropriate. The main strategies that use of such malware are mainly aimed at:
Probing the technological capabilities of the enemy. The ability of an agent to infect enemy structures is symptomatic of inadequate cyber defense strategy that may suggest additional military options.
Undermine those that are considered critical structures whose operation depends on the opponent’s vital functions of the governmental structure of a country.
No doubt regarding the efficacy of these weapons. Events have proved that they are offensive weapons designed with the intent to infect opposing structures. The cyber weapons can be designed to hit specific targets while minimizing the noise related the usage of the weapon that can result in causing the discovery. The vector of infection can be of various kinds, such as a common USB support, being able to hit a very large number of targets in a small time interval.
Another significant factor is the ability to predict and to observe the development of a cyber weapon by agencies intelligence. In a classical context the development of a conventional weapon can be easily identified through intelligence operations on the ground and via satellite observations can be easily identified a garrison used to develop military systems. The development of a cyber weapon is rather difficult to locate and thus hinder , even a private home may be suitable for the purpose.
As we have seen the use of malware is becoming very frequent in cyber attacks and cyber espionage campaign but the most evident impact of malware diffusion is without doubt registered in private sectors.
Large organizations register every year billions of dollars of loss related cyber attacks operated using malware, data leaks represents for the businesses one of the primary concerns. Malware could infect computer and entire networks causing serious damage to the productive level of the company. A malware infection could cause the loss of intellectual property or company secrets that could compromise the existence of the business, a malware could also infect production control systems with serious repercussion.
Small business is in my opinion the sector most exposed, small companies due the global crisis have made cost cutting also on security perspective opening the door in many cases to malware and other cyber threat. Lack of resources, reduced budgets and low awareness on cyber threat represents the key factors of a worrying scenario.
Malware diffusion
Security experts have identified various schemes for malware diffusion, of course the mail channel is represented by internet, let’s think to millions of unaware users that daily are infecting simply visiting a compromised web site. The categories of web sites mainly impacted by this type of attack are Blogs & Web communications, Hosting/Personal hosted sites, Business/Economy, Shopping and Education & Reference.
One of the of the most subtle and effective mode of infection is the “Drive-by attacks”, internet users are infected just visiting a compromised website, victims are hijacked on infected websites with very common attack techniques such as ‘clickjacking’ or ‘likejacking’ that deceives the users inducing them to watch a video or simply expressing its pleasure regarding a specific topic using “I like” function.
But the way of malware diffusion are infinite, let’s think to the diffusion on internet of exploit toolkits which allow creation new malware without specific technical capabilities, this peculiarity has facilitated the rapid adoption and diffusion of the attack kits in the criminal world that have intercepted the growing demand in a millionaire business, a phenomenon that continues in its inexorable rise.
The principal channel to spread malware is, according the different security firms, the email. During the last year the number of malicious email is increased targeting mainly large company but also governments and no profit organizations. The infection schema very simple, malicious emails contain infected file as attachment that exploit a vulnerability in the target system, in many targeted attacks to circumvent the user the content of the mail appears legitimate and try to catch the attention of the victim.
In alternative way the email could contains a reference to a compromised web site that host malware able to infect user’s machine.
Using a similar schema for example in Syria and in Tibet governments have spread agents to political persecute opponents tracing their activities and take the remote control of their machine to steal documents and precious information.
But malware could also be diffused through the social networks platforms, they represents digital squares where millions of users exchange videos, images and links, an ideal scenario for the diffusion of malicious code. During the last year with the impressive growth of social network we have also observed the increase of the number of malware propagated using the popular social platforms. Millions of user always connected and with low awareness on the cyber threats are ideal victims for cybercrime that once again uses malware to exploit user’s vulnerabilities. In the social networking the fundamental factor is use of social engineering techniques to circumvent users that most often are redirected on compromised web sites through the sharing of “malicious hyperlink”.
Due the importance of social networks, mine of information, they represent a privileged target for cyber criminals that intend implements new fraud schema and governments that try to spread malware with cyber espionage purpose. Recently the experts of Trusteer firm have discovered a new variant Zeus malware responsible for a series of attacks against principal internet service providers. The variant carried out attacks using the P2P network architecture targeting users of Facebook, Hotmail and Yahoo and Google Mail. Zeus Trojan is born as an agent able to steal banking information by logging keystrokes and form grabbing, it is spread mainly through phishing and drive-by downloads schemes.
The malware variant that hit Facebook uses a web injection mechanism to propose to the victims a special price reduced of 20% for purchases made with Visa or MasterCard debit card using their Facebook account. The scam promises in fact that after registering debit card information, the victim will earn cash back when they purchase Facebook points. Of course to the user is proposed a form for the registration of debit card info that is equivalent to a legitimate one also in term of proposed layout
Who is responsible for malware diffusion?
Use of malware is really frequent for different purposes, cybercrime, cyber warfare, hacktivism, governments monitoring and surveillance.
The criminal organizations are very active in the development and diffusion of malware, is known that this kind of crime is very profitable and often go unpunished due lack in current regulation in many country of the world. Criminal gangs have discovered how much lucrative is the cybercrime and how reduced are the possibility to be legally pursued. Computer crime by its nature has placed in the cyberspace with direct effects on the real world, but due this characteristic, its persecution is virtually impossible for the absence of globally shared regulations against this type of illicit.
Main use of malware made by cyber criminals are Malware could be used in different fraud patterns, mainly their use is to steal user sensible information like banking credentials. The diffusion could happen through several channels like social networking, mail spamming, visiting infecting host or hijacking web navigation. The common factor is the identity theft of the user for fraudulent activity. During the last weeks we have assisted to the rapid diffusion of new generations of Ransomware demonstrating that the use of malware could be adapted for different model of cybercrimes.
Ransomware is a type of malware which restricts access to the computer resources of the victim demanding the payment of a ransom for the removal of the restrictions. To prevent the access to the resources the malware encrypt files of infected machine.
Cybercrime is not only the sector that adopts malware for its purposes, one of the most interesting usage is related to cyber warfare. Borrowing definition of “cyber weapon” provided by security experts Thomas Rid and Peter McBurney :
“a computer code that is used, or designed to be used, with the aim of threatening or causing physical, functional, or mental harm to structures, systems, or living beings“
we can immediately think to the effect of a computer malware targeted against a strategic objective such as a critical infrastructure.
Over the years many cyber weapons have been identified as described the most famous of which is the virus Stuxnet, for its development is common opinion that has been involved, by US and Israel Governments, a pool of high specialists. The reality is more complex, the future for malware in cyber warfare scenario is made of dedicated platform used to create multiform and modular agent that could target specific objectives simply including new components. We are facing with open projects that evolve with the need and in function with specific targets present new offensive features.
Kaspersky’s director of global research & analysis, Costin Raiu, discovered with his team the existence of a common platform to build the malwares Duqu and Stuxnet, that they named “Tilded platform” because many of the files in agents have names beginning with the tilde symbol “~” and the letter “d.””. What is really interesting is that the researcher is convinced that the same framework has been also used to create at least three other pieces of malware confirming the existence of a “factory” platform that Costin Raiu defined using the following statement:
“It’s like a Lego set. You can assemble the components into anything: a robot or a house or a tank,”
But malware could be also the next option of group of hacktivist such as Anonymous. During the last couple of years we have witnessed the escalation of operations conducted by the Anonymous group, the hacker group that is expressing a social dissent through cyber attacks.
Is common conviction that the group use only DDoS attacks for its operations, but the collective is changing and some security experts believe that they are also exploring other options such as malware deployment. The purposes of malware usage maybe be different, malicious software could be used to attack strategic objectives with targeted campaign and also to conduct cyber espionage operations. Also DDoS attacks could be automated infecting machines of the victims or simply hosting a malware on a website that redirect the attacks against the chosen targets.
Another regrettable usage of malware is monitoring and controlling, typically implemented by governments and intelligence agencies. In most cases virus and trojan have been used to infect computer used to attack dissident, opponents and political oppositions. The purpose is to track their operation on the web, gather sensible information and localize them. In many cases the use of malware has made possible the capture of the victims and their ruthless suppression.
During the Syrian repression the government has discovered that dissidents were using program such as Skype to communicate, so it has used the same channel to spread the backdoor “Xtreme RAT”, a malware that belong to the Remote Access Tool category really simple to retrieve on line at a low price (Full version Price: €100 EUR).
Cyber espionage malware, a global nightmare
Malware once were used primarily to destroy the victim’s PC, but the scenario has completely changed today.
We have seen that cyber criminals, governments, and groups of hacktivists, with different purposes, tend to lean toward the spread of malicious agents that have the capacity to infiltrate the targets be silently stealing from them the most information. Profit, Power, Protest the main motivations behind the attacks, that are radically changing user’s approach to the web and the their perception of security.
We usually blame China but recent events have shown that it is common practice to use malware with these purposes, but China is not the only nations involved in similar attacks, let’s consider for example United States and researches to develop cyber weapon that are able to infiltrate sensitive networks to steal information. The project Olympic Games is the evidence of the effort spent in this new form of offense, and other valid examples of malware used with cyber espionage purpose are Duqu and Flame both developed to gather sensible information from Iranian Government.
A recent study on cyber-espionage has demonstrated that more than 200 families of malware have been designed and used to spy on government and corporate representatives.
We have assisted to the diffusion of new agents that works in botnet architectures, in similar way to the ones used by cybercrime for massive attacks, but that are specifically developed for selected targets that resulting to have a minor dimension.
The study reveals that more than 1,100 domain were used in the attacks, in particular the experts have traced the botnet used analyzing the traffic produced, the Sinkholing, a consolidated technique used by many security firms,
Sinkholing is a technique that researchers use to redirect the identification of the malicious C&C server to their own analysis server. With this methods researcher design a map of the botnet and of the control center identifying the type and numbers of final attacks.
Attacks have the primary intent to steal classified information from government agencies or trade secrets from corporations and the situation could be extremely dangerous for the economy of a company and of the overall country.
With similar attacks governments and business try to reduce the technological gap with their competitors, it’s clear how much diffused is the phenomenon.
The cybercrime is not watching, it has increased focus in targeting individuals and organizations of all sizes to steal financial information, in particular under pressure has made the small businesses too vulnerable to cyber attacks.
The Trend Micro has reported a sensible increase of focused attacks respect previous quarter (27%), around 142 million threats which were blocked from infecting small businesses but also large companies have been hit by the crime as happened for the IXSHE campaign.
Cyber espionage represents a serious cyber threat, and government agencies are defining best practices to reduce the risk of exposure to the attacks.
NIST has recently released the public comment release of Draft Special Publication 800-83 (SP) Revision 1, Guide to Malware Incident Prevention and Handling for Desktops and Laptops.
Malware is considered the most common external threat to most hosts, causing widespread damage and disruption and necessitating extensive recovery efforts within most organizations.
This publication provides recommendations for improving an organization’s malware incident prevention measures. It also gives extensive recommendations for enhancing an organization’s existing incident response capability so that it is better prepared to handle malware incidents, particularly widespread ones.
Which future for malware?
The data collected on the malware diffusion let us think that new sophisticated agents will be developed in the short term, most of them able to exploit also 0-days vulnerabilities.
We must expect that governments and intelligence agencies will make large use of malicious computer program to infiltrate enemy network and steal sensible information, we are in the cyber era and this is the new way to fight. The conflict are moving from the ordinary world in the cyber space, new powerful cyber weapon could be designed to attacks critical infrastructure and left in the wild to spread it self-making serious damages.
One of the most critical aspect in fact is the ability of malware developer to follow the evolution of their creation, there is the concrete risk that virus and rootkit are reverse engineered to create new aggressive agent that could be freely sold to best bidder.
Another trend that create great concern is related to the botnet diffusion and evolution, the traditional techniques used to detect and decapitate the malicious structure are becoming obsolete due the introduction of new sophisticated structure. Let’s think to P2P botnet or to botnet that doesn’t need the traditional presence of Command and Control server, characteristic that make hard their detection.
Factors like the massive diffusion of mobile devices and the integration of new services, such as banking and communication, in social networking platform are creating the right condition for the diffusion of malicious cyber threats. Consider also the increasing attention of ordinary crime in cyber fraud, a business relatively secure that will attract capitals in cybercrime areas, new groups of hackers and specialist could sell their services to the crime with unpredictable consequences.
To give an idea on how much attractive is the mobile technology for malware developer let’s give a look to the Mobile Threat Report released by security firms F-Secure that warns of a dramatic increase in malware targeting mobile devices, especially Androind OS based. The following table reports interesting statistics on mobile threats discovered between 2004 and 2011, showing an impressive growth grouped by malware type.
Figure 2 – F-Secure – Mobile Threat Report
According the report “In Q1 2011, 10 new families and variants were discovered. A year later, this number has nearly quadrupled with 37 new families and variants discovered in Q1 2012 alone,” the report states.”
All this data show a situation can only worsen in the next future, to mitigate the risks related to malware diffusion it’s necessary to increase the level of awareness especially for those sectors more exposed such as mobile and social networking.
To contain the raise of malware diffusion each country must create a proper response team that involve exponents of private industry and government agencies, this team must cooperate on global scale exchanging information and working to the definition of regulation globally recognized to provide stiff penalties for cyber criminals.

‘Systematic drawdown’
GBRA will drain its remaining lakes
From the GBRA Spill Gate series
Dalondo Moultrie, Joe Martin and Valerie Bustamante The Seguin Gazette
After the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority announced Thursday plans to drain each of its Guadalupe Valley Lakes, people from Meadow Lake to Lake McQueeney and beyond shared a common feeling — they aren’t happy.
“I feel like that the GBRA should have known how to fix this,” Meadow Lake Resort resident Sarah Woosley said. “I mean, I worked in hospitals for years. Just because we didn’t have money to do something correctly didn’t mean we didn’t have to do it. So, I don’t understand why they didn’t look for a solution. I’ve already heard some people are going to move and I’m sure that the property owners are going to lose value in their property.”
GBRA announced in a statement released Thursday morning that the authority would begin “a systematic drawdown” in mid-September of the six lakes created by its six hydro-electric dams. The dams create hazards to people in and around the water, so the drawdown is necessary to minimize risks, GBRA said in the statement.
“Safety is our top priority. We understand this is an unpopular decision, but one that we feel is unavoidable given the dangers associated with these dams,” GBRA General Manager and CEO Kevin Patteson said. “GBRA is committed to working closely with the lake associations and the community to mitigate the impact of this difficult, but necessary decision.”
The authority and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department devised a plan to dewater the lakes with minimal impacts to the environment, the release read. Dewatering will start at the southernmost lake and GBRA will make its way north or upstream until the drawdown is complete.
GBRA employees will slowly open gates at each dam to slowly release the water, Patty Gonzalez, GBRA communications manager, said.
Lake Gonzales will be drained first beginning Sept. 16. Then Meadow Lake will be dewatered, followed by Lake Placid and culminating near the end of September with the emptying of Lake McQueeney if no delays arise, GBRA said.
The organization plans to send notices Friday alerting directly-affected property owners of its plans, the statement read. The authority can’t know when the lakes might be refilled until funding is secured, Gonzales said.
Two of the lakes already sit without water.
Lake Wood, one of the man-made lakes in the system, drained in 2016 after its spill gates failed, sending water coursing from the lake. A similar incident occurred in May when a spill gate failed at Lake Dunlap.
Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority engineers believe an eroded and deteriorated hinge caused the May 14 Lake Dunlap Dam spill gate failure.
“(The hinge) is the area where the gate connects to the concrete of the dam itself. It’s meant to rotate so the spill gate can go up and down,” Charlie Hickman, executive manager of engineering at Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority, said. “It’s what we believe failed on the gates at Dunlap. This pin is supposed to be fixed to the gate and rotate through, but over time that has failed and you can see where it’s wearing down.”
The pin that sits in the hinge is meant to be three inches thick. Over time, however, a good amount of it has deteriorated. Upon the recommendation of consulting engineers, GBRA officials believe it’s no longer safe to continue operating the gates because of the deterioration of the pin and hinge, Hickman said.
Divers who explored the waters of Lake Dunlap also found pieces of steel that had broken off the hinge.
While there is no way to inspect the hinges since they sit inside the gate, there is also no way of just taking one off and replacing it, Hickman said.
“This is designed based on all construction practices from the 1920s, several different pieces of steel are riveted together,” Hickman said. “There’s no way just to take this off and bolt a new one on there. It wasn’t designed to do that. You’d have to take the whole gate apart to work on one and you’re basically doing a replacement.”
A water barrier is also needed to even accomplish any work on the gates, he said.
“Modern dams are built with the ability to drop a bolt head and make a dry area to work in, but our dams did not include them,” Hickman said. “So they weren’t designed to be maintained, so to speak.”
Many in the community were aghast while watching video footage of the aftermath of the Dunlap spill, video footage GBRA published on its Facebook page and website. The footage showed the obvious dangers associated with the aging dams, but some ignored those possible dangers, GBRA said in its Thursday news release.
“The hydroelectric dams that form the recreational lakes along the Guadalupe River have surpassed the end of their useful life at more than 90 years old. Over the past several years, GBRA has instituted a variety of safety measures — including adding signage and buoys, establishing and extending restricted zones around the dams and installing real-time monitoring cameras as well as sirens and public address systems — to warn people of the hazard,” the release read. “Despite these efforts, monitoring systems continue to capture people within the restricted areas close to — and in some instances on top of — the dams, intensifying public safety concerns.”
The draining of the lakes affects more than just Seguin residents and their neighbors. Many people from out of town take to the lakes during the hot summer months as well.
Austin residents Donna Kreuzer and her husband Paul Kreuzer, who were making their way around Meadow Lake in a canoe, said the draining of the lakes is a disgrace to the community.
“All of this area (Meadow Lake) is a flood zone,” Donna said. “Our friends came out here and have built a house 20 feet high to prevent flooding and even though they have experienced floods whenever they come, they still come back because this is what they enjoy and to just steal it away from them is waterway robbery.”
As a former Houston teacher, Paul said he has many memories of bringing his students to the Guadalupe to expose them to the great outdoors.
“This generation right now has always had it,” Paul said. “It’s always been here. You want to go sailing, you want to go canoeing, it’s here. And it’s going to be a shock to the next generation when it’s not.”
Les Shook, a Lake McQueeney resident of about three years, questioned why the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority neglected the dams for so long.
“Dams, like anything, aren’t built to last forever and that’s why you have to have a contingency plan, somebody’s got to be putting money back in,” he said.
Shook estimates the effects of draining Lake McQueeney to be catastrophic to the value of his home and the surrounding county. And he placed blame for those negative changes.
“We’re victims of maybe decades of mismanagement,” Shook said. “There is just something wrong here. The biggest problem is that if they drain this lake my house is going to decrease in value by 50%. There’s a lot of valuable property on this lake. On this house, we pay $12,000 a year to the (Seguin) Independent School District. If that is reduced from $12,000 to $6,000 a year. Who’s going to make up for the budget default?”
More than dollars and cents are at stake. Quality of life issues can possibly arise with GBRA’s plan.
On Thursday morning, a San Antonio man fishing at the Lake Placid Public Boat Ramp said he recognized the concern about safety was valid. But Jacob Hernandez wondered if there was some way to save the lakes and preserve a way of life that seems to be fleeting fast.
“It’s disappointing. You bring your kids out here to have a good time and enjoy spending time with the family,” Jacob said. “If they do this, then what are we going to have to do, where will we be able to go.
“For safety purposes, I guess you have to do what you have to do,” he continued. “But, at the same time, what’s the cost? It creates a ripple affect.”
Thursday was the first time Jacob, his father-in-law Robert Hernandez and Robert’s brother Alex, all of San Antonio, visited Lake Placid. Robert has traveled Interstate 10 many times in the last 15 years or so and he always passed a spot off the side of the highway that looked interesting. For years, he said he would come back to the pretty and serene spot, Robert said.
Their first trip there conceivably could be the last, he said.
Robert Coker spent part of Thursday morning helping his friend Jimmy Frederick try out Frederick’s new boat. Frederick lives in the Lockhart area and Coker is a Guadalupe County resident.
As they maneuvered the boat at the Lake Placid boat ramp, Coker said he knew of the issues GBRA faced and heard about the other two lakes that drained. When he learned of GBRA’s plan to dewater all the lakes, Coker thought of the homeowners who bought waterfront property and what they must be enduring.
“I can’t imagine what the people who live on those lakes must be going through,” Coker said. “My opinion is it doesn’t seem reasonable to drain the lakes before they even know where the funds are going to come from.”
GBRA has said funding for replacement of the dams could cost $180 million in total. The authority has said the dams do not produce electricity that can cover operating costs, not to mention tens of millions in maintenance.
GBRA officials have not identified a clear source of funding for necessary improvements.
“Ensuring the long-term sustainability of the dams is a community endeavor,” the authority said in its press release. “GBRA is working in partnership with the Guadalupe Valley Lakes lake associations and affected residents, as well as city and county officials, to determine the best course of action for identifying, funding and completing the necessary replacement of the dams.”
GBRA has known for decades that maintenance on the aging dams was subpar and the hydro-electric dams don’t generate sufficient income, McQueeney resident Wayne Harmon said after finishing up a kayaking trip Thursday with his son Garrett on Lake Placid. Why is the association only recently looking into funding sources, he queried.
While GBRA was the one responsible for putting off maintenance, he sees the rotting dams also as a community issue that needs to be addressed by the community, including business owners who make their living benefiting from the lakes, Harmon said. It shouldn’t be just property owners, government entities and GBRA footing the bill.
“All these businesses that benefit off these lakes, they should pitch in,” he said. “After all these years, you would think they’d have something as a backup plan.”
News spread during a Wednesday homeowners association meeting where she learned GBRA planned to drain the lakes, said LizAnn Schary-Orr, a McQueeney Homeowners Association board member and homeowner in McQueeney for three years.
“It really looks like it’s a go,” she said. “A lot of people think that ‘oh, it’s not really going to happen,’ but it’s going to happen and I think what the president of the homeowners association said last night was that we’re acting on the premise that it is going to happen.”
Schary-Orr is one of a few who are attempting to stay positive about the situation.
“Some people are discussing whether or not we can do donations to raise the money to fix the dam because this is their spot,” Schary-Orr said. “I think we are basically going to have to depend on some kind of private fund. But one really positive thing about it too is, and they do this at Lake Austin where they drain it and clean it. Not that that is what’s happening to us but we could get out there and clean the lake. It’s shocking but I’m trying to stay positive.”

After two flood gate failures, GBRA would be held grossly negligent in any court when, not if, a third gate fails and someone is killed. It's time for the homeowners around the lakes to move past anger, denial, and blame and get to work on a solution: building new dams and flood gates. If they want their lake front property back. The taxpayers of Texas, Guadalupe County, and Seguin don't own the problem nor owe you $179 million so you can enjoy living on a lake. I'm sympathetic, but those are the tough facts of life. Get on with raising the funds by taxing yourselves through tax districts. Once you step up, you may get some help from government agencies. Good luck.
AnglingLegend Aug 16, 2019 9:11am
Exactly my thoughts. I saw a comment from someone living on Lake McQueeny that shames the governor. Stating that for generations this has been a fun place for families to enjoy skiing and watch kids shows. That said; it’s not anymore. It’s also not open to just anyone as the elitist that used to fly around in their ski boats and come within feet of other boats that were fishing went and bought out all of the property to the lake and privatized it. That’s really when it ruined it for most people around the area. Have fun with your drained private’s stock pond. Hope that investment all those rude Dr’s and Lawyers who bought it out stays dry for a while. I was taking my dad fishing one morning to what used to be a public boat launch and an older man was incredibly rude and threatened us at gun point to leave his property. Apparently they had just purchased the land and hadn’t posted signs yet. My dad and I both left, but my dad being a police officer of 40 years nicely told the guy to post signs stating private property. That’s when we did the research and found there was a group buying all the land. Really took away opportunities for a lot of families in that area that we had enjoyed for years prior..
DoYourPart Aug 16, 2019 9:19am
These lakes have been a part of Texas since the 20’s. They have contributed undeniably to a sanctuary for not just those who live there. These ‘people’ laboriously as well as financially do what it takes to bring this community to life! Wildlife will cease their migration path and much of it will perish. The trees that bring us fresh oxygen will probably die. It is NOT just about living on the lake. It’s about saving more than anyone can yet fathom.
MB Aug 17, 2019 11:22am
No I personally think the county does owe us. Years of paying property taxes at values base on water front property, which is my choice to have so I pay the price for my family to enjoy the lake. Now we won’t have that luxury that we have been paying for. My thought now or concern is what price will I pay now? If values are base on water front , with out that now will my property taxes be lower. I will be the first person at Guadalupe county appraisal district come next year to protest my property taxes base on no more water front property. Which I personally suggest every one get ready to do the same. So yes the county should do their part too. Before May . I don’t get a discount because my lake house is not my homestead. Therefor my taxes are high. With no water front my investment is worthless.
PepeV Aug 16, 2019 12:35pm
This is 2019 and GBRA is telling us that there is no other way to secure these gates??? There has to be an external lock or hinge that can be added to the dams to further prevent failure. Draining the lakes is catastrophic for the area. For those of you that think its just for the lake goers you are wrong. The farm lands will also be affected and that s all there is around here.
VoiceofReason Aug 16, 2019 3:20pm
No comment on how or if the spillway gates should be repaired and/or who should pay for it. I think previous comments already covered that ground. I would respectfully disagree with DoYourPart regarding ecology. I would suggest that removing the artificial dams and allowing the river to return to its natural course and flow is much more responsible than maintaining artificial impoundments. Many other places with legacy dams are removing them just for that reason--to allow areas to their natural state.
bkbroils Aug 18, 2019 9:16am
My guess is the removal of impoundments you’re referring to is mostly tied to much smaller reservoirs and very different dynamics. Keep in mind these are 90 year old ecosystems that have their own flora & fauna as a result. You’ll see 90+ year old Cypress, Sycamore, and Pecan trees fall. You’ll see significant fish kills, including our State fish, the Guadalupe Bass, that is most prevalent in these lakes. Yes, years and years down the road there will be a thriving ecosystem more closely tied to its natural state, assuming the dams never get rebuilt; and that is a 50:50 chance right now.
Lower the lakes to mitigate risk, but don’t drain them. And if people want to ignore warning signs and kayak near the dam, let them roll the dice. It’s the same as someone foolish enough to walk across a highway, and we don’t close I-10.
FootballFan Aug 18, 2019 10:15am
Fish will still be in the water. I don't see any big fish kills. Fact is they are taking out many dams across the country to return rivers to the natural run to enhance wildlife.
bkbroils Aug 18, 2019 11:25am
Can you reference a few of these many dams you speak of? Pretty’s sure these are reservoirs with minimal (if any) residential properties. The fact is, the Guadalupe dams are smack dab in the middle of urbanized areas. The dams you’re referring to aren’t the same...but I’ll wait to see what you come up with.
And fish kills...we’ve seen it already when they drained the lakes 4-6’ in the past. Wait and see what 12’ does. Frankly, my concern is much more related to the devastating impact it’ll have on thousands of trees along the existing shoreline. The 18” they lowered it last year starved trees higher up the shoreline and have forced landowners to water to keep them alive.
Painting a picture of bringing the river back to its natural state as though it’ll be more beneficial than what currently exists is not being realistic. This ain’t the country any longer and hasn’t been for over been for years. And don’t make lakes out to be a bad thing...kinda silly. I don’t see TPWD pushing to drain lakes...quite the opposite.
Sunshine1 Aug 16, 2019 7:05pm
I lived in Hot Springs Arkansas on Lake Hamilton. Each year they lower the lake level. Notices go out and everyone knows when it is lowered and when it goes back up. This allows inspection of dams and residents are able to clean and or repair docks, brush etc. it is not a full release so critters in the lake are safe and you can still canoe.paddle boat etc. we even have community clean up. Just because processes worked since the 20’s does not mean they work now...apparently..

Changing The Way We Watch TV
Changing The Way We Watch…
Since the creation and widespread uptake of the television set, it was always the same situation – TV programmes aired at particular times and prior to video and DV recorders, we sat avidly watching our favourite programmes and fitting our lives around the TV schedule.
For decades this remained the same way but since the dawn of the new millennium, television has undergone something of a revamp. No longer do we have to miss out on our favourite shows if the bus is late or family turn up unannounced, there are a range of sophisticated solutions that have revolutionised the way we interact with the humble television.
1 New Products for a new future
2 Ever Ready TV
3 Not Just a Pretty Picture
New Products for a new future
Products like Android TV have brought a new lease of life to the format of television. Not only can you watch the best in entertainment at any time of the day or night but the choice of channels has expanded widely offering something to match every taste. Far from the few channels of the past, there is bound to be something of interest on whenever you are ready.
Ever Ready TV
On demand TV has taken off in a big way now that the television is not the only place where programmes can be watched and the way that we watch TV has changed forever within the space of just a short period of time. Watching our favourite shows on the train on a Smartphone or sitting in a cafe watching the latest comedy on an Android tablet and trying to stifle loud laughter, we are contributing to the many different ways that media is presented to us and our interaction with data.
Not Just a Pretty Picture
Of course, now the television isn’t just for watching programmes, with Android plug-ins such as the mk808 Android PC, it is possible to browse the web using the TV – checking email, viewing videos on YouTube on your big screen and even allowing interaction with social network sites such as Facebook and Twitter. There is even the choice to enjoy 3D high definition programmes where available and with the use of a simple webcam it is possible to have video call with relatives and friends all over the world! Marvellous really when you think that just a decade ago the only way to watch TV was to switch it on and watch the scheduled programming; now the whole internet is at your disposal on the TV screen.
Products such as Android TV have changed the way we all look at and interact with television and there are so many wonderful innovations on their way in the future that it looks like the way that we interact has changed forever and will probably continue to do so. Happy viewing!

Wisconsin pulls away from Nebraska for 82-68 win

It certainly did.
Brad Davison scored 14 points, D'Mitrik Trice added 11 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists and Wisconsin hit a school-record 18 3-pointers to surge past Nebraska 82-68.

Transit plan like Rob Ford's most popular
August 29, 2014 @ 6:00 AM | Filed under: Toronto
Soknacki-style plan least popular
TORONTO AUGUST 26th, 2014 - In a random sampling of public opinion taken by the Forum Poll™ among 1945 Toronto voters, one half approved of a transit plan incorporating most of Mayor Ford's proposals ("Replacing the east end of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT with a subway, building the Scarborough subway and then building the Downtown Relief Line, paid for by public-private partnerships, the province and the federal government" - 50%). After this plan, equal proportions, just more than 4-in-10, approved of a plan similar to John Tory's ("Giving priority to the Scarborough subway, followed by running subway trains on existing GO Transit track, paid for with development charges on new development along the GO Transit routes" - 45%) and one similar to Olivia Chow's plan ("Giving priority to adding more buses to existing routes, followed by building an LRT in Scarborough, then the Downtown Relief Line, paid for with the Scarborough subway tax" - 45%). Just 4-in-10 approve of David Soknacki's adherence to the city's original LRT-based transit plan ("Following the original Transit City plan, including LRTs in Scarborough, on Finch and Sheppard and on the Eglinton Crosstown, paid for by a combination of development charges, private-public partnerships and tax increases" - 39%).
"Subways, subways, subways still steal the limelight, and it doesn't help that Soknacki's plan doesn't shy away from discussing taxation as a way of paying for it. Subways are bright shiny objects, especially when they're offered for free," said Forum Research President, Dr. Lorne Bozinoff.

Two Stories From the Second Little Lulu Comic: Art and Story by John Stanley
I see that this post is the most popular one ever to appear on Stanley Stories. It gets more hits than anything else on here. Well, give the people what they want, sez I.
The only story left from the first "Lulu" comic was reprinted in The Smithsonian Book of Comic-Book Comics, seminal tome from 1981 that can be had for peanuts on Amazon.com.
Time to move on to #2. The pair of stories I've selected today both are animal-themed. Both also show much more of John Stanley's fine cartooning style than the prior issue.
These aren't hi-grade scans. It's better to read these in color, as originally published, rather than try the pallid traced versions of the Another Rainbow and Dark Horse reprints. Those suck the life and soul out of Stanley's deft drawings.
Exhibit A, "...has family trouble," is among Stanley's rare cat-centric pieces. With this still-larval version of Lulu as his protagonist, Stanley captures the innocence and curiosity of childhood in a way the series would quickly avoid.
This story is an upbeat twin to a dark, disturbing "Li'l Eight-Ball" story Stanley wrote for New Funnies #101, also published in 1945. A sense of melancholy informs this story, too, but it's played for a much gentler effect.
This is as close to genuinely charming as John Stanley gets. Still, since it is a Stanley story, there is one moment of violent (but amusing) discord:
This encounter is unlikely to better socialize Mr. Gripe. This is the first appearance of a sinister social archetype of Little Lulu's world: the seriously anti-social, violence-prone loner, who typically has a Dickensian name like "Krank," "Gruff," "McGrouch," et al.
Mr. Gripe is on the gentlest end of this anti-social spectrum. To experience the Stanley Sociopath at his darkest and scariest, read this.
As well, this story offers two protagonists--Lulu and Christopher the cat. Christopher's inner monologue adds another level to the narrative. We are privy to her thoughts about Lulu and the other "pink ones," which is played for rich humor.
As is often the case in Stanley's world, the least empowered character is the wisest. Lulu's mother is oblivious to the kittens' need to still be with their mother. Christopher, who knows best, ingeniously retrieves her offspring.
Lulu and the cat trauma-bond in the ninth frame of p.7, in an echo of the "Li'l Eight-Ball" story's scenes of crying. However, Christopher is just playing; she's in charge of the situation 100%.
Stanley's feline drawings have great charm. I have a feeling that Stanley was a "cat person."
A couple of pantomime gag pages...
and then Lulu and Tubby "Goes On a Picnic." (Bad grammar is intentional.)
A tightly composed piece with conscious pay-offs, "Picnic" is connected to the prior story. Tubby's brag that he "almost killed a cat" with his toy bow-and-arrow reminds us of "...has family problems."
We see early signs of Tubby's self-absorption; it doesn't really occur to him that it was the Jensen's Groceries delivery truck that nearly did in the feline. At story's end it is the Jensen's truck that delivers Lulu and Tubby from their sylvan escapade and allows them to finally have their picnic.
The relationship of Lulu and Tubby is rather primitive, by later "Lulu" standards, in this story. The two kids are much more childlike here--antagonistic and stubborn, given to whims and acting out. Hints of Tub's future Quixotean self are already evident.
It's Lulu's terser, less expressive persona that makes the major difference. She is not the kidult she would be in 1950. She is closer to Marge Buell's imp than to the classic John Stanley version.
Stanley puts Lulu and Tub through some very funny slapstick paces here, and milks much humor from their bickering and over- or under-reaction to stakes-raising events.
We see more Stanley animals in "Picnic." Their presence, over these two stories, shows how much at odds Stanley's own drawing style was with the Marge Buell look and feel. All the human figures look stiff, awkward and generally unappealing. Stanley was a long way from making these characters work, visually, on his own terms.
Not to say that these are poor drawings, by any means. They're full of life, and Stanley does what he can to infuse them with character. His true colors emerge in the drawings of animals, in both these stories. Some hints of his masterful 1960s cartooning can be seen in those brief moments. His backgrounds, though simple, express a strong sense of space and depth.
It must have been frustrating for Stanley to work with Buell's primitive designs in these early Little Lulu one-shots, but he does his best, and the results, while stiff, are workable.
In Stanley's cartooning, the drawings are always humbly in service of the story. Stanley possessed one of the least distracting cartoon styles. It's just solid, unassuming line work, the better to sell his narratives--which, after all, is why we read his stories.

how large would an original John Stanley comic page be?
I heard Carl Barks did a 4 row page on 20x30", but I can't tell if Stanley's working smaller here.
Frank M. Young said...
Great question! You know, I don't think any of John Stanley's original pages survive... at least, I have never seen anything but some of his 1960s covers for sale on Heritage Auctions.
I would guess that Stanley worked larger than publication size--twice up was the typical size for original artwork in comic books.
I'd love to see some of his earlier originals. I wonder what happened to them? Anyone out there know something I don't?
Love your remarks on these LL early works by Stanley, Frank!
He was a brush master indeed. But I've always enjoyed these pen-style finished works (you know, Tom & jerry, Jigger, Bridget, etc). They're constantly calling for subtlety.
Certainly characters look stiff, but Stanley gets the most being deliberately naive and funny at the same time, and his economy on panel backgrounds are pure mastery lessons of cartooning. Love the part where Tubby and Lulu carry the basket together to climb the hill. It's pure slapstick, almost I can see this scene animated! "The drawings are always humbly in service of the story" should be the right definition of Cartooning.
I've never thought of Tubby as a Quixotean type though. Unlike Don Quixote, Tubby doesn't look to need a Sancho Panza to explain himself to the world. Quixote and Sancho Panza, like other Cervantes characters, grow up as they chat and so gain their own meaning. Whereas Tubby emerges as a world in and of himself, a world that usually wolfs down the others. He's born solipsist, a monologuist. In this sense he looks to me much more Shakesperean (a Hamlet with some Falstaff drops in the cocktail).
Hope this makes sense! You know english is not my language, but I thought "there's no harm in trying".
Thanks for keeping this wonderful blog up with such a wonderful comments!
Gabriel, thank you for your insights--they are beautifully stated.
The Quixotean connection, in my thoughts, is in Tubby's tendency to charge forward into a situation impulsively, often without his knowing what awaits him. This is more common in the very early "Lulu" stories.
By the end of the 1940s, Tubby is, indeed, as you describe, a Shakespearian figure. That's a fine insight--mind if I use than in my book?
Your comments, like your artwork, speak very well. They are always appreciated.
"mind if I use than in my book?"
Of course not, Frank! You flatter me greatly just thinking that it's a thought of some value to you.
Thanks for your compliments!
I hope to read your book in a near future! Cant's wait, actually...

Thomas Hardy was an English novelist and poet. A realist, highly critical of much in Victorian society, though Hardy focussed more on a declining rural society. He was also influenced both in his novels and poetry by Romanticism. While Hardy wrote poetry throughout his life, and regarded himself primarily as a poet, his first collection was not published until 1898. Initially therefore he gained fame as the author of such novels as Far from the Madding Crowd (1874), The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886), Tess of the d’Urbervilles (1891), and Jude the Obscure (1895). The bulk of his fictional works, initially published as serials in magazines, were set in the semi-fictional region of Wessex and explored tragic characters struggling against their passions and social circumstances.
Title: Return of the Native
Publisher: Penguin Classics
“Do I desire unreasonably much in wanting what is called life – music, poetry, passion, war, and all the beating and pulsing that is going on in the great arteries of the world?” Tempestuous Eustacia Vye passes her days dreaming of passionate love and the escape it may bring from the small community of Egdon Heath. Hearing that Clym Yeobright is to return from Paris, she sets her heart on marrying him, believing that through him she can leave rural life and find fulfilment elsewhere. But she is to be disappointed, for Clym has dreams of his own, and they have little in common with Eustacia’s.
Their unhappy marriage causes havoc in the lives of those close to them, in particular Damon Wildeve, Eustacia’s former lover, Clym’s mother and his cousin Thomasin. The Return of the Native illustrates the tragic potential of romantic illusion and how its protagonists fail to recognize their opportunities to control their own destinies.

DEVOTION: Mark 7:24-37 English Standard Version (ESV)
The Syrophoenician Woman's Faith
24 And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon.[a] And he entered a house and did not want anyone to know, yet he could not be hidden. 25 But immediately a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell down at his feet. 26 Now the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 And he said to her, "Let the children be fed first, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." 28 But she answered him, "Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs." 29 And he said to her, "For this statement you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter." 30 And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.
Jesus Heals a Deaf Man
31 Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis. 32 And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on him. 33 And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue. 34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened." 35 And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. 36 And Jesus[b] charged them to tell no one. But the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. 37 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."

YESTERDAY'S QUIZ Why is Jerusalem sometimes called Zion or Mt. Zion? Who were Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego?
These were three Israelites who would not defile themselves or commit idolatry by bowing down to worship the statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had made. They were thrown into a fiery furnace, but the Lord had mercy on them and saved them out of the fire.

Disciple Makers is a prime opportunity and tool to grow your kids in the faith. Your kids need to know their Bibles and so do you! Get them into it!! Decide that this is going to be the year that you begin a new discipline of learning the Scriptures TOGETHER as a family.
